Long Qian rented a safe for Lin Xiyan from the bank and paid the rent for five years.
"Xiyan, this is the receipt and key to the safe.”
"Thank you, Brother Long."
"We don't need to thank you. By the way, how's your mother's investigation going?”
"I asked Third Aunt, and she said that when she saw my mother, she was already lying at the bottom of the stairs. The other servants said that they only came out after hearing Third Aunt's shouts. Their answer was the same as Aunt Wu's. There was no progress.”Third Aunt Tai and the servant's words were almost identical. They seemed to have already matched their statements.
"The more you act like this, the more suspicious it is. Xiyan, no matter how many times you ask them, their answers are the same, which means that they have already colluded. I've already found out what you asked me to investigate. The savings under your mother's name have been deposited under Lin Sihan's name."
Sure enough, Lin Sihan had taken the money. Lin Xiyan was even more certain that her mother's death was not an accident but man-made.
"What happened to my mother was indeed not an accident. Although I don't have any evidence right now, I believe that justice has long arms. No matter how careful the arrangement is, there will still be a breakthrough.”
"What does Xiyan plan to do?"
"They have already made their statements, so I don't think they will leave any useful evidence behind. I won't investigate openly and let them think that I'm no longer investigating. When they relax, it will be the time to reveal a flaw.”
Long Qian smiled approvingly. Lin Xiyan was indeed not an ordinary woman. He had many things to deal with and could not take care of his family affairs, but Lin Xiyan was smart enough to take care of his family affairs for him. Therefore, Long Qian was even more determined to marry Lin Xiyan.
"Xiyan, I will do my best to help you.”
"Thank you, Brother Long. I'll go upstairs to see Grandma.”Lin Xiyan got up and almost fell down in a fit of dizziness.
Long Qian supported Lin Xiyan and said worriedly," Xiyan, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I just haven't slept well recently.”
Looking at Lin Xiyan's pale face, Long Qian's heart ached. He couldn't help but hug her in his arms,""Why don't you know how to take good care of yourself? Do you know that my heart will ache?”
"Brother Long, don't be like this." Lin Xiyan wanted to push Long Qian away.
Long Qian hugged her tightly. He didn't want to wait any longer."Xiyan, I love you. Let me take care of you. Leave your mother's matter to me. I will definitely seek justice for your mother.”
Lin Xiyan was at a loss. She didn't expect Long Qian to fall in love with her, nor did she expect him to suddenly confess.
"You, what are you doing?"
Li Xinyou's sudden appearance disturbed the two of them. Lin Xiyan hurriedly pushed Long Qian away,""Youyou, let me explain. It's not what you think.”
"If I didn't think of it, then what? You were clearly hugging each other just now. Xiyan, I don't want to listen to you. You know that I like Chief Long. How can you be with him? I hate you." Li Xinyou ran out of the Long family's house while crying.
"Youyou, listen to me." Lin Xiyan was eager to explain to Li Xinyou.
Long Qian grabbed Lin Xiyan's arm and said," Xiyan, I know Miss Li is your friend, but I didn't know she liked me. I never liked her." If I did anything to make her misunderstand, I'll definitely explain it to her. I only hope that you won't give up on your feelings because of this.”
"Brother Long, we'll talk about this later. Youyou ran away so sadly. I was worried about her.”After saying that, Lin Xiyan broke free from Long Qian. She only hoped that Li Xinyou would not misunderstand her.
"Youyou, let me explain." Lin Xiyan caught up with Li Xinyou. Just now, I almost fainted because I didn't get enough sleep. Brother Long only held me and I only treated him as my brother.”
"If you only treat her as your brother, why didn't you dodge when he hugged you?”
"It's not that I'm not hiding. Besides…forget it. In short, Brother Long and I are not what you think.”
"Xiyan, don't you know that Master Long has always liked you? Or you've been playing dumb. Now that my brother is married, that's why you ran into Chief Long's arms.”
She came to the Long family because she needed Long Qian's help, but there were some things that she didn't need to let Li Xinyou know. Lin Xiyan said helplessly,""Whether you believe it or not, I have no other feelings except for Long Qian as my brother.”
"Xiyan, is what you said true? You must have no feelings for Chief Long?”
"It's true. Brother Long is very outstanding, but unfortunately, he's not my type.”
"Xiyan, what dish are you talking about? What does this have to do with Chief Long?”Lin Xiyan sounded strange.
How was he going to explain it! Lin Xiyan exhaled and said," Youyou, you don't have to worry about the dishes. In short, I have no romantic feelings for Long Qian. I don't love him."”
"Really? Swear it."
Lin Xiyan wanted to laugh. If she really wanted to compete with her for Long Qian, swearing was useless. However, in order to appease Li Xinyou, Lin Xiyan still raised her right hand and swore.
Li Xinyou's tears turned into a smile as she held Lin Xiyan's arm,""I knew Xiyan wouldn't snatch Master Long from me. By the way, I was so unreasonable just now. Will Chief Long hate me?”
"You have to ask him about this. Youyou, if you really like Brother Long, tell him loudly.”
"But Chief Long is the Sect Master of the Vermillion Bird Sect. Does he like me?”
" You're the daughter of the f * cking elder, you and him…" Lin Xiyan suddenly found a familiar figure,""Youyou, if you say it, there's still a chance. If you don't say it, there's no chance at all. I saw a friend. I'll talk to you another day.”
Xiyan, where are you going?" Who did Lin Xiyan see? Li Xinyou looked over but didn't find anything. She stopped a rickshaw and left.
Lin Xiyan chased after a familiar figure-Liu Junru. She was alone and dressed very fashionably. It seemed like she was going to an appointment.
Liu Junru walked into an alley. She was very cautious, turning her head every time she walked, afraid that someone was following her. Judging from Liu Junru's actions, Lin Xiyan guessed that the person she wanted to meet was very important to her. Moreover, this date could not be known to others, which aroused Lin Xiyan's interest even more.
"She's so mysterious. Who does she want to see?”Lin Xiyan muttered to herself.
After Liu Junru made sure that no one was following her, she turned left and entered a small alley. The alley was very small and only had five or six households. She stopped in front of a house with a red lantern and knocked three times. The door opened, and Liu Junru quickly walked in.
Lin Xiyan didn't dare to get too close. From afar, she could see that it was a man who opened the door, but she couldn't see clearly. Liu Junru must have some unspeakable secret for coming here sneakily. Lin Xiyan saw that the wall was not very high, so she should be able to climb up.
Thinking about it, Lin Xiyan looked for something that could help her climb the wall. Suddenly, a large hand grabbed her from the back of her waist and pulled her back.
"Duan Weilin, why are you here?”Lin Xiyan was surprised. Why would Duan Weilin appear here?
"Don't worry about my appearance. What do you want?”Duan Weilin looked at the wall. She couldn't be thinking of climbing up, right?
"I want to know what Liu Junru is doing here.”
This wall was twice as tall as her. Even if she could climb it, what if she fell down?
"Climbing the wall is dangerous. Don't do anything dangerous to scare me.”
"Who are you to me? You don't have to care about what I do. Besides, I don't want to see you.”Because of Liu Xianglan's incident, Lin Xiyan had a grudge against Duan Weilin.
"You're my woman. I have to care about everything about you. I heard that you and Long Qian have been very close recently?”Knowing that her mother had passed away, she must be in a bad mood. He had wanted to comfort her, but there was something urgent in the military camp, so he went straight to the encampment after leaving the mourning hall. Unexpectedly, she had only left for a few days and this woman was already hanging out with Long Qian.
"So what? I'm mine. You don't have to ask who I want to be with.”
"I have to keep a close eye on my woman. It's not easy to talk here. Follow me."
"Why? Why should I go with you?" If he hadn't been able to stay by his mother's side, none of this would have happened.
This woman always liked to provoke him. Duan Weilin picked Lin Xiyan up and took her away without a word.
The car drove straight to Duan Weilin's villa. Duan Weilin carried Lin Xiyan up to the second floor while Adjutant Wei and Aunt Xiang tactfully stayed on the first floor.
"You lunatic, don't touch me. I hate you.”
"I know. Every time we meet, you always say that you hate me." Duan Weilin didn't mind. He was already used to her scolding.
"It's different. I used to hate you, but now I really hate you. It was because of you that my mother died for no reason.”
"Nonsense, what does your mother's death have to do with me?”
Lin Xiyan pushed Duan Weilin away forcefully and stood up, her tears flowing uncontrollably.""If you hadn't forced me to go to Shanghai with you, I would have stayed by Mother's side. My mother wouldn't have been pushed down the stairs, and she wouldn't have died from her injuries. All of this is because of your overbearing and unreasonable ways. Why do you have to force me to go to Shanghai? I didn't stay by my mother's side properly, so she was killed. I hate you, but I hate myself even more."
"Yan 'er, be good and don't cry. I really didn't know that something like this would happen. Tell me who pushed your mother down the stairs, and I'll make sure he dies with your mother.”Liu Xianglan's death was a huge blow to Lin Xiyan. She was right. If he had not forced her to leave the city, perhaps the tragedy would not have happened.
"So what if I know? I have no evidence. Duan Weilin, do you know? I didn't sleep well during the week Mother died. I always dreamed of Mother's sad eyes before she died.”Lin Xiyan burst into tears. She didn't know why she didn't need to hide her feelings in front of Duan Weilin.
Duan Weilin hugged Lin Xiyan tightly. She had been suppressing herself for too long."Yan 'er, be good. Tell me who it is. As long as you say it is, it is who you are. Your words are evidence.”
"No, I will definitely find evidence. I want the murderer to get what he deserves. I want them to spit out everything that they took from my mother.”
"Whatever you say. Tomorrow I will go to the encampment to set up defenses. I might be back in half a month. I will let Wei Heng stay behind to protect you. Just tell him what you need to do.”
"No need. Brother Long will help me." Lin Xiyan didn't want to be entangled with Duan Weilin anymore.
"If you want Long Qian to die an unnatural death, go ahead and find him.”
Lin Xiyan was powerless to refute Duan Weilin's overbearing attitude.""I'm tired. I want to go home."
"Be good and accompany me tonight." He would be away from her for half a month. How long would it be?
Forget it, she had never been able to make decisions in his territory. Lin Xiyan accepted her fate and allowed Duan Weilin to plunder her red lips.
