Lin Yan was confused by the sudden kiss. His big hand climbed onto Ye Zi's waist and slid down her back bit by bit.
His eyes were misty like fire. Ye Zi's figure was reflected in his eyes and gradually became blurry.
Lin Yan hugged her tightly and let her vent the emotions in her heart.
Gradually, Lin Yan felt Ye Zi's cheeks moisten. At this moment, he let go of Ye Zi and looked at Ye Zi with a slight frown. His eyes were filled with tenderness as he hooked Ye Zi's sharp chin and said gently, "Darling, don't cry. It's not worth it for her."
Ye Zi bit her lower lip hard and raised her hand to wipe the tear stains from her eyes. She didn't speak for a long time.
From Ye Zi's point of view, she owed Ye Xinrou for all these years. After all, ever since she had fallen from grace with the Ye family, her father had placed all his attention on her. That was why Ye Xinrou had become like this.
Ye Zi's heart ached, but not because of Ye Xinrou, but because of her father.
If her father was still alive and saw Ye Xinrou in this state, she wondered how he would feel.
Ridiculous and pathetic …
Such a melodramatic plot actually happened to her. Ye Zi couldn't believe it even in her wildest dreams.
That night, Ye Zi didn't sleep at all. She snuggled in Lin Yan's arms. The next morning, when she woke up, she had turned into a national treasure.
She had dark circles under her eyes and a toothbrush in her mouth.
In order to make Ye Zi feel better, Lin Yan had prepared a table full of breakfast early in the morning. However, Ye Zi didn't have much of an appetite. She only ate two mouthfuls of pan-fried food before putting down her chopsticks.
"What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?" Lin Yan asked with a frown.
Ye Zi shook her head. "It's delicious, but I don't have much of an appetite."
How could anyone still have the appetite to eat after being slapped by his own sister? Lin Yan raised his hand to rub Ye Zi's head and pinched her little face. His thin lips parted slightly as he said in a gentle tone, "I'll send you to the detective agency."
Ye Zi shook her head again, "No need, I want to walk by myself."
"Alright."
Lin Yan did not force Ye Zi. He only smiled faintly. That smile was gentle, like a pool of spring water, rippling with layers of ripples.
Ye Zi picked up her backpack, but she left her phone and keys at home. As she stood in front of the elevator waiting for the elevator, Lin Yan hugged her from behind.
"My little muddle-headed girl."
Lin Yan's gentle voice rang in Ye Zi's ears.
Ye Zi turned her head and watched as Lin Yan stuffed the keys and phone into Ye Zi's hands.
Ye Zi forced a faint smile. When the elevator doors opened, Ye Zi waved at Lin Yan and walked into the elevator.
Walking along the street, Ye Zi looked as if she had lost her soul. No one could tell what she was thinking about. It was only when To Look Around walked up to her with a sandwich in her mouth that she was pulled back to reality by To Look Around's voice.
"Big Boss, why did you walk here? Didn't Mr. Lin give you a ride? "
Ye Zi glanced sideways at To Look Around and shook her head slightly. She frowned and narrowed her eyes. Then, she looked at her watch. That's not right. It's only 8: 15 in the morning. Are my eyes playing tricks on me?!
Ye Zi rubbed her eyes. She still could not believe that To Look Around, who was late every day, would actually come to the detective agency so early.
"Big Boss, don't look at me like that, okay? Otherwise, I'll be very worried. "To Look Around ate her sandwich and said to Ye Zi with a smile.
Ye Zi raised her hand and touched To Look Around's forehead. "Panda, are you sick?"
"You're the one who's sick." To Look Around twitched her mouth helplessly. "You didn't come yesterday, so you didn't know that the detective agency accepted a case. I didn't sleep the whole night. It's fine if you don't praise me, but you actually said that I'm sick. I'm very sad."
"Accepted a case?" Ye Zi looked at To Look Around without blinking. "What case is it? Are you going to work overnight?"
"Here." To Look Around took out a file from her bag and handed it to Ye Zi.
Ye Zi took out the information from the file and To Look Around's voice came to her ears. "A child sent a commission."
"Child?" Ye Zi looked at the information suspiciously.
The first thing she thought about was how much the child could pay.
In Ye Zi's opinion, nothing was more important than making money. A gentleman loved money in a proper way, but so did a young woman.
"How much did he pay?" Ye Zi asked immediately.
To Look Around smiled. The boss was the boss. No matter what, she would always put profit first. To Look Around stretched out five fingers and looked at Ye Zi with a smile.
"Five hundred?"
To Look Around shook her head.
"Five thousand?"
To Look Around shook her head again.
Ye Zi swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Don't tell me it's fifty thousand?!"
This time, To Look Around nodded.
"F * ck!" Ye Zi couldn't help cursing. "Are all children so rich nowadays?!"
To Look Around smiled. "This case is very simple. Just help this child chase a girl."
"Pfft!" Ye Zi had just snatched a glass of water from To Look Around's hand and took a sip. When she heard To Look Around's words, she immediately spat out the water in her mouth.
Since when did the Scent Detective Agency take on the job of chasing girls?
To Look Around said, "Sister still doesn't have a boyfriend. Boss, look at you now. You're a boy. You're so good at chasing girls … Sigh …"
Ye Zi smiled faintly and looked down at the information in her hand.
"Lin Tianzhe, seventeen years old?!" Ye Zi frowned and said in a low voice, "He's only seventeen years old. Instead of going to school, he has puppy love. It's not recommended."
"I think so too, but Sister Jianxia said that it's a blessing to be able to have a pure love in the prime of one's youth."
Ye Zi's lips twitched slightly. She raised her hand and flicked To Look Around's forehead. "Don't put on a Chiung Yao drama."
To Look Around stuck out her tongue at Ye Zi and said no more.
Ye Zi handed the information back to To Look Around and said, "We can't take this job."
"Why?" To Look Around stopped and asked.
Ye Zi turned her head to look at her and said faintly, "If this child's parents find out that we accepted 50,000 yuan to help him chase a girl … it would be a wonder if we don't break your legs alive."
To Look Around nodded. "That's true. But Boss, Sister Jian Xia even accepted the money. "
The two of them went to the detective agency together. Ye Zi immediately found Jian Xia and explained the situation to Jian Xia. Only then did Jian Xia call the boy named Lin Tianzhe.
However, Jian Xia's expression became extremely ugly. Her originally pale face suddenly seemed to be shrouded by a thick layer of dark clouds. It was as if, in the next second, a storm would be stirred up.
Jian Xia's pupils shrank, and in an instant, her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Ye Zi frowned. She got up and walked to Jian Xia, asking, "What's going on?!"
Jian Xia's pale lips trembled slightly and her voice shrank. "Lin Tianzhe … he … he's dead!"
"What?!"
Ye Zi's eyes widened when she heard that.
"Thud!"
The phone in Jian Xia's hand fell to the ground. She froze on the spot as if her acupuncture points had been pressed. For a while, she couldn't say a complete sentence.
For a moment, Ye Zi's office was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
Ye Zi was the first to come back to her senses. She bent over to pick up Jian Xia's phone. She looked at the phone that had been hung up and muttered to herself. Her brows were tightly knitted together. After a long time, she dialed the number.
A sobbing female voice came from the phone. "Who is this?"
Ye Zi could tell that the person who answered the phone was Lin Tianzhe's mother. She opened her mouth and said in a distant but gentle voice, "Hello, Madam. This is the Aromatherapy Detective Agency …"
"Detective Agency?!"
Ye Zi nodded and continued, "Excuse me, Lin Tianzhe …"
"Sob sob sob …"
As soon as Ye Zi mentioned Lin Tianzhe's name, the woman on the phone suddenly burst into tears.
Ye Zi listened to the woman cry for a long time. When the woman's emotions calmed down, she said, "Madam, Lin Tianzhe asked our detective agency to help him chase a girl yesterday. He paid us fifty thousand dollars in advance, and we would like to return the money to you. Is it convenient for you to tell us the address? "
…
After hanging up the phone, Ye Zi left the detective agency with Jian Xia and headed to a neighborhood in Binhai City called Number One Luxury Court.
Ye Zi looked at the house number on her phone and then at the door in front of her. She raised her hand and pressed the doorbell.
Ding dong … Ding dong …
In a flash, the door slowly opened. What entered Ye Zi's eyes was a woman she had seen before.
"Madam, it's you?!" Ye Zi's eyes suddenly widened as she looked at the haggard woman in front of her.
The woman in front of her was the woman that Ye Zi mistook for a mistress in the cafe that day.
"Why are you here?" The woman didn't expect to see Ye Zi under such circumstances.
Ye Zi said, "Madam Lin, I just called you. I'm a detective from the Scent Detective Agency, and I would like to return the money to you."
The woman turned sideways and made an inviting gesture toward the house. Her voice was still trembling, and her pale lips moved slightly. "Please come in."
Ye Zi followed the woman into the house. After a simple self-introduction, Ye Zi learned that the woman's name was Chen Xiujie, and Lin Tianzhe was her son.
Chen Xiujie poured two glasses of water for Ye Zi and Jian Xia. As soon as she sat down, she raised her hand to cover her face, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Ye Zi didn't know how to comfort Chen Xiujie, so she sat next to her and gently held her shoulder. "Madam Lin, please don't be too sad."
Chen Xiujie suddenly turned her head and grabbed Ye Zi's arms. "You're a detective, aren't you?!"
Ye Zi nodded.
Chen Xiujie's voice became more and more agitated. "You don't have to return the money to me. I would like to ask you to help me investigate the real cause of my son's death!" Amway a public account: r/d/444
