Zhou Yao dared not move, her long hair concealing her face. A sharp box struck her forehead; it fell on the ground. She recognized it—it was the watch Meng Xiao had pawned to help her raise funds.
At this very moment, Yang Yi's power vividly unfolded before her: he could access the information of everyone in her family. He knew that she had been duped and exploited by Zheng Xiang, and he knew long ago what Meng Xiao had done for her. He could retrieve the things she had sold.
