Jianwen and the professor got out of the police station without much hassle. They were victims, after all, and Lingshan only investigated how they got caught and tricked before letting them go!
The problem now was that Scorpion had confessed, but they couldn't get the money back! This made Lingshan a little depressed! According to Scorpion, he was from the international criminal organization Red Conches. His purpose here was to get money for Red Conches, and the other was to work as an information center!
Red Conch had been stirring up a storm in Songshan recently, so Lingshan didn't doubt Scorpion's words. Red Conch couldn't even catch the people from the Occult Investigation Department, let alone Lingshan. This wasn't something she cared about, and so the underground arena case had to end here.
After this case was over, Lingshan would have to focus on the graverobbing case. This was a battle of wits and courage against criminals, and Lingshan had to give it her all!
After the underground arena case was over, Xie Yufeng continued to visit her every day. Lingshan was annoyed, but there was nothing she could do about it. Sometimes, she really wanted Lin Yi to break his legs so he wouldn't bother her anymore!
"Lingshan, you're finally done with the case, right? I saw the papers, it was a complete victory! Congratulations, you've done a meritorious deed again! " Yufeng had been paying attention to Lingshan. She said that she was busy with the case, and Yufeng knew that it was an excuse, but she really was busy. After the case was over, Yufeng planned to ask her out for a meal again. He'd like to see if she had any reason to reject him this time!
"That's because of everyone's hard work." Lingshan said faintly, "Do you have something to say?"
"I've booked a table at Starlight Hotel tonight, I'm planning to hold a celebratory feast for you. How about it? Are you free tonight?" Yufeng smiled.
"Sorry, not tonight, there's another case." Lingshan waved the file in her hand, "I have to work overtime tonight, maybe next time."
"I …" Yufeng was very troubled, and his face didn't look too good after hearing Lingshan's words. But Lingshan's reason was reasonable, and he couldn't say anything about it. He gritted his teeth, "Alright, I'll be going then!"
Lingshan frowned as she watched Yufeng leave. This guy had been chasing after her for a long time, and he'd always been a problem. She could brush him off now, but what would happen in the long run? There would come a day when Xie Yufeng would get impatient, and when would he get impatient? What would happen?
At that time, House Song and House Yu might just fall out. What would happen to House Song's future then? Lingshan wasn't in a good mood at the thought …
If it weren't for this marriage, with Lingshan's current "potential", it would've been normal for her to have a seat in the noble house meeting, and so Lingshan was very happy! But now, with the marriage with House Yu, things were different!
On the surface, it looked like House Yu's support would make House Song stronger, but the problem was that Lingshan didn't like Yufeng! If she didn't have anyone she liked, then it'd be fine. For the sake of House Song, Lingshan wouldn't mind. But now that she had someone she liked, with her personality, she'd rather die than be with Yufeng. But this meant that there would be conflict!
It was easy to get engaged, but hard to break off! This wasn't just about Yufeng lusting after her, it was about the face of the house! Of course, if House Yu broke off the engagement first, then House Song would have no choice but to accept it. After all, House Yu was strong, and in the noble house rankings, whoever was stronger had the right!
The situation was reversed, and House Song was the weaker- if they broke off the engagement, House Yu might get angry and do something outrageous!
There was a knock on the door, and Lingshan sighed. "Come in!"
It was Yutian- he was invited by Lingshan to discuss the graverobbing.
"Lingshan, what's wrong? Why do you look so sad? " Yutian might have given up on pursuing Lingshan, but he still cared about her. Her every movement and smile were all under Yutian's observation!
Naturally, he had to ask when he saw the worried look on Lingshan's face.
"Yutian Bro, you're here!" Lingshan forced a smile, "Isn't it House Yu's Yu Feng? He came again just now and said that he had booked a table at the Starlight Hotel. He wants me to go tonight and have a celebratory feast for me … "
"He's here again?" Yutian frowned, "Can't he tell that you don't like him?"
"He can tell, but so what?" Lingshan shook her head, "Didn't you see that too? You still don't give up?"
"I … I'm different, at least I'm not as persistent as him …" Yutian felt a little awkward, "But he seems to be a little too persistent?"
"Who knows? I don't know how to reject him either … "Lingshan said," The noble house meeting is coming up, and I don't want House Song and House Yu to turn against each other, it doesn't benefit House Song at all … But … "
"How about this, I talk to Yu Feng? We're both men, it's easier to talk! If we ask him to give up and back off, it won't affect House Song and House Yu! "Yutian sighed," Let Yu Feng cancel the engagement, that way, we can save our face! "Yutian sighed.
"It's no use, Yu Feng's different from you- he's someone who won't give up until he gets what he wants. I see the possessiveness in his eyes, he won't give up that easily." Lingshan smiled bitterly, "He's an unreasonable person!"
"No matter what, we still have to try?" Yutian had a rough idea of Yu Feng's personality from what Lingshan told him- domineering and unreasonable, but seeing how troubled Lingshan was, he wanted to share some of her burden.
"It's fine, I don't want to drag you and House Chen into this." Lingshan said with a wave of her hand, "Your House Chen can't even save yourself- it'll be good enough if you can stay in the noble house meeting …"
"Maybe I should talk to Lin Yi about it? Maybe he can do something? "Yutian asked after some thought.
"We'll talk about it later, Lin Yi seems pretty busy these days." Lingshan said, "Let's just brush him off for now, we'll talk to him if it really doesn't work!"
