Qin Fangang reached out and smoothed the loose strands of hair on her cheeks. He squeezed his body between her legs and hugged her as though he was hugging the whole world. His voice was magnetic as he asked, "Baby, do you know what it is?"
…
Xin Yu's heart melted when he called her "baby." Her face blushed, and her thoughts were a little muddled. Before she could completely react, Qin Fangang's phone rang. When he saw the name displayed on the screen was — — Ji Yang, Qin Fangang released her slightly. He took the phone and picked it up in front of Xin Yu.
Ji Yang greeted Boss Qin respectfully on the other end of the phone. "… Previously, you asked me to investigate B City. I've already made some progress."
Qin Fangang's expression didn't change. He only grunted as he supported Xin Yu's back with one hand. With a little force, he let her down from the balcony. He didn't continue speaking, and Ji Yang naturally didn't dare to make a sound either. Then, he heard him say in a gentle voice that he had never displayed in front of anyone before, "… There's food in the kitchen. Go ahead and eat. I'll take this call."
After a few seconds, Qin Fangang said in a serious tone, "… Tell me, what did you find out?"
Ji Yang pursed his lips and told Qin Fangang in full detail about the information he had just found out.
"Boss Qin, previously, you asked me to investigate the people from B City in the western suburbs. I've already investigated the name list that Situ Lin sent over. One of the identities on the list is a little special, but the others shouldn't be a problem. It just so happens that it's related to the matter you asked me to investigate in B City's prison."
Qin Fangang only listened. His deep, handsome face was dark and unreadable. He instinctively wanted to take out a cigarette and put it between his lips. However, when his slender fingers touched the cigarette box, he was reminded of the swaggering little woman just now. His heart instantly softened and he held it in.
He placed his palms on the balcony and leaned over to look into the distance. "… Go on."
"… There are a total of three prisons in B City. Only one of them is more special. The people of B City are in that prison called the 'Tomb for the Living.' That's because it's almost impossible for those who enter to come out. Unless they have a strong background, or if there are people outside who keep trying to overturn the case or appeal, only then will they have a chance to come out. It's said that some of the people who enter there are arranged by the higher-ups. They probably know something they shouldn't know, or did something they shouldn't have done. The people outside all think that the people in that prison are all evil people, but in reality, that's not the case. Of course, these are all confidential information. However, very coincidentally, on the list of people who came from B City to D City and arrived in the western suburbs, there was a lady who was just paroled from that prison not long ago. "
Qin Fangang frowned and glanced at the moving door behind him. He happened to see Xin Yu holding a plate with some sandwiches that he had just prepared for her. He knew that she liked them, so he specially made some for her. Now that he saw her eating with relish, his eyes flickered and he lowered his voice to ask, "… What's the lady's name? Where is she now? "
"… Her name is Zhang Jinghua. She's 37 years old this year and is from B City. I investigated and found out that she was sent to prison for an arson case six years ago. Because her brother-in-law is a member of B City's Justice Department, he has been trying to reverse her case for the past six years. She has been in prison for six years, but the case has not been successfully reversed. Probably because of her brother-in-law and her good performance in prison for the past six years, she was given a chance to be paroled. However, the strange thing is that once she was released from prison, she immediately came to D City. She didn't go anywhere else but directly went to the western suburbs. "
The man's slender fingers tapped on the railing intermittently. The air seemed to settle down slowly. Qin Fangang spoke again, his voice sounding more vigorous. "… She's in B City now?"
"Yes."
Ji Yang certainly knew Qin Fangang well. He immediately asked, "… Boss Qin, do you want me to get someone to invite her to D City?"
"No need." Qin Fangang said indifferently, "… I'll make a trip to B City personally."
Ji Yang grunted in response. He seemed to have something to say but stopped. Qin Fangang knew what he wanted to say, so he quickly said, "I promised you before. Since I'm back now, you should go and rest. Settle your matters before coming back."
He paused for a moment before instructing, "… Send me a photo of Zhang Jinghua later. Just my phone will do."
Ji Yang replied, "Got it." Then he hung up.
…
In the end, Qin Fangang couldn't hold back. His habit of smoking made it even harder for him to control himself when he was deep in thought. Because it was instinctive, by the time he reacted, the cigarette between his fingers had already been lit. He took a deep puff of the cigarette. His deep eyes were dark and unreadable.
Zhang Jinghua, 37 years old, from B City. Six years ago, she was imprisoned for an "arson case." Not long after she was released, she came to D City and even made a trip to the western suburbs …
This information kept jumping around in Qin Fangang's mind. Although he didn't have the ability to predict the future, his intuition still told him that there must be something inextricably linked in all of this. He had a feeling that something was about to surface, but on the other hand, he also felt that this "something" that surfaced would definitely be "earth-shattering."
…
Qin Fangang reached out to flick the cigarette ash. His thick brows were still tightly knitted. There were too many emotions floating in his mind. He needed the taste of nicotine to slowly calm himself down and then analyze it properly.
But one thing was very clear. Before he could confirm any information, he couldn't let Xin Yu know about this for the time being.
The sliding door behind him swished open. Qin Fangang snapped out of his thoughts. When he turned around, he saw Xin Yu standing in front of him. Her slender little finger was pointing at the half-smoked cigarette between his fingers. Her beautiful brows were furrowed. "… Why are you smoking again?"
"…"
Qin Fangang reached out to put out the cigarette and threw it into the ashtray beside him. He reached out to hold Xin Yu and walked into the house. Seeing that the plates on the table were already empty, he knew that she must have finished eating. "Did you like the sandwiches I made?"
"Not bad."
Xin Yu licked her red lips and gave him a stingy 100 points.
Qin Fangang didn't seem to mind. He reached out to hold her shoulders and lowered his eyes to look at her. "… Does that mean you can forgive me?"
Xin Yu was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand what he meant by "forgive."
"Xin Yu, I left for England so suddenly that I didn't bring my cell phone with me. I didn't have time to contact you right away. In the end, you were locked up in the Lu residence for two days and two nights. I feel very guilty. Sorry. Just like what you said, I wasn't by your side when you needed me. So the next time I go to England, I'll bring you along, okay? "
Xin Yu didn't really blame him. Qin Fangang was a perfect person in her heart. She knew very well how well he treated her. This time, she was indeed uneasy and panicked when she was locked up in the Lu residence for no reason. She was especially anxious when she couldn't contact him. But when she calmed down and thought about it, she knew that he must have had something important to deal with. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost contact with her for no reason.
So she really didn't blame him. Of course, when a woman was angry, her words were always said in anger and couldn't be trusted.
Now that she heard that he was bringing her to England, Xin Yu felt a little uneasy. She didn't answer his question but asked him instead, "… Why did you suddenly go to England this time? I didn't hear you mention it before. "
"My mother got into a small accident."
"Is she okay?"
"She's fine now."
"Oh," Xin Yu replied. She always looked like she was deep in thought and wanted to say something but stopped herself. How could Qin Fangang not tell? He reached out and pinched her cheek. He frowned and said, "… What's the matter? Is there something you want to talk to me about? "
She did have something to tell him. The incident at the Lu residence that day was like a knot in her heart. If she didn't talk about it, it would be too uncomfortable.
"… I do have something to talk to you about."
Xin Yu took a deep breath. In this world, there were only a few trustworthy people around her. If she didn't tell him, who else could she tell?
…
Lan Ruoran felt like she was going crazy.
Ever since Lu Shiyun's housekeeper brought her to the hospital ward two days ago, she hadn't left the ward since. Of course, a doctor came in on the first day to give her a checkup. She wasn't sure about the final results because the doctor only came in once. After the checkup, she was locked in this room. The door was locked from the inside and the windows were all locked. She couldn't get out. She didn't have any communication device with her. Just like that, she was locked in this room for two whole days.
…
She didn't know what Lu Shiyun meant, but she was really pregnant. This child was really Lu Yihan's. Why did the Lu family treat her like this? Also, what was the meaning of locking her up for no reason?
No, she couldn't continue to be locked up like this. She had to get out. She didn't know what was going on outside. That day in the hotel's banquet hall, she had caused such a ruckus. Now, did everyone outside know that she was pregnant with the Lu family's bloodline?
…
The more Lan Ruoran thought about it, the more she felt that something wasn't right. She believed that Lu Yihan wasn't the kind of person who would do such a heinous thing. But there was still Lu Shiyun. She remembered that she had met him in private before. That old man's way of dealing with people wasn't something she could imagine.
Even if she hadn't eaten pork, she had seen a pig run.
Someone who could support such a big business like the Lu Clan was definitely not simple. Moreover, she knew that she couldn't even handle one Qin Fangang, much less Qin Fangang's father.
At that thought, Lan Ruoran shuddered. Like a trapped beast, she paced back and forth in the room. In the end, she still felt that something wasn't right. She ran to the door and slammed it hard.
"… Is there anyone outside? Open the door. I have something to say. I have something to say. Let me see Old Master Lu … or let me see Yihan. I really have something important to say. Is there anyone outside? "
"…"
"Is there anyone outside?"
"… Open the door … Open the door …"
"People outside, open the door … I know there's someone outside. Open the door …"
