Ye Zi calmed herself down and smiled warmly. She said, "Director, do you still remember Mu Tianjiao and Fang Wan Qing?"
The director nodded. "How could I forget? Tianjiao donated a sum of money to our orphanage every year. It's just a pity that …"
Mu Tianjiao was a celebrity in Binhai City. The news of her death spread throughout the streets and alleys immediately.
The director sighed and shook her head slightly. She said in a low voice, "Tianjiao's original name was Fang Wanxin. Her parents passed away in a car accident. Tianjiao was cheerful, but Wanqing was always timid and hid behind her. When Mr. and Mrs. Mu came to adopt them, they originally wanted to adopt the two sisters. However, Wanqing was very afraid of Mr. Mu, so in the end, they only adopted Tianjiao."
The director poured two glasses of water for Ye Zi and Yao An and continued, "In the same year, Wanqing was also adopted by a couple. Coincidentally, this couple's surname was also Fang. It seems that not long after, they immigrated with Wanqing."
What the director said was roughly the same as what Fang Wan Qing had said. Ye Zi nodded and asked, "I would like to ask if you have the contact information of Fang Wan Qing's adoptive parents?"
The director lowered her head and sighed. "Wanqing came back to see me once. She said that her adoptive parents passed away this year."
Ye Zi paused slightly when she heard this. She didn't expect that a car accident would change the lives of a pair of sisters.
She smiled and stood up to say to the director, "Thank you. We have no other questions. We'll take our leave first."
"I'll see you off."
The director walked Ye Zi to the door. Just as she opened the door, suddenly, a tall figure enveloped her. Looking up, Ye Zi was suddenly shocked.
"Why are you here?"
Ye Zi and Lin Yan asked in unison.
"I'm here to investigate the case," Ye Zi replied.
But in the next second, Ye Zi regretted it. She had to pretend to be a police officer to get in.
Lin Yan frowned. "How did you get in?"
"Mr. Lin, you also know Officer Ye …"
"Officer … Ye?!" Lin Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at Ye Zi.
It's over, it's over. If I'm exposed, how am I going to mingle in the future?
"Um, I still have something to do. See you later."
After saying that, Ye Zi grabbed Yao Anmian's arm and ran away from the orphanage.
Lin Yan shook his head and looked at the Director. "I'm here to get Mu Tianjiao's information."
"Mu Tianjiao again?" The dean looked at Lin Yan in surprise.
Lin Yan did not say anything but waited quietly for the dean.
The dean nodded and walked to the big bookshelf in the office. According to the year, he found Mu Tianjiao and Fang Wan Qing's information. "Mr. Lin, this is the information you wanted."
Lin Yan nodded. "If that Officer … Officer Ye comes again, please give me a call."
After saying that, Lin Yan turned around and left the director's office with his long, slender legs.
Ye Zi "escaped" from the orphanage. She leaned against the wall and panted heavily. She lifted her hand and smoothed her chest. "Oh my God, luckily that jinx didn't come after me."
"Phew …"
She heaved a sigh of relief. When she turned around, she saw Lin Yan standing behind her with a gloomy face.
She was haunted!
Why was it that no matter where she went, she would run into this living jinx?
Lin Yan's face seemed to be shrouded by a thick layer of dark clouds. It was as though a storm would start in the next second. His thin lips parted slightly and his deep voice rang above her. "What did you call me just now?!"
Don't speak ill of others behind their backs. Ever since she was young, Ye Zi had lived by this principle.
If she wanted to say something, she should say it in person.
Ye Zi mustered up her courage. She puffed up her cheeks and looked like a chubby pufferfish. But when the words reached her throat, she could not say them out.
Because Lin Yan's appearance was too scary.
Lin Yan stood in the shade of the long corridor. Half of his face was hidden in the darkness, but his eyes looked extremely sinister.
Ye Zi shivered and shrank her neck. "I-I said … said you, you look like a celebrity."
Lin Yan's face darkened. He had heard the words "jinx" very clearly just now. This stupid woman did not even know how to lie.
His well-defined knuckles were holding a file and he casually threw it to Ye Zi.
Ye Zi took the file and asked with a frown, "What's this?"
"It's what you want. I hope you won't come and harass the Director in the future." Lin Yan turned around and his voice slowly floated in the air. "Detective Ye."
He emphasized the word "Detective", as though he was mocking and sarcastic.
Ye Zi's eyes widened and her mouth was agape. She could hear the sarcasm in Lin Yan's words. She pursed her lips and took out the information from the file.
The information was about Mu Tianjiao.
Ye Zi looked at it carefully and then turned to look at Yao Anmian. "Let's go."
From the current situation, the most suspicious person was Mu Tianlong. However, with Mu Tianlong's identity, how could she get close to him?
Sitting in the taxi, Ye Zi carefully looked through the information about Mu Tianjiao.
The information was very simple. It was just about Mu Tianjiao's life in the orphanage. However, on the last page of the information, there was an envelope.
The words "Ye Zi" were written on it. The handwriting was firm and strong. She must have practiced for a long time to write this kind of handwriting.
Could it be …
Ye Zi frowned. This letter was from Lin Yan?
She opened the envelope and found that it was about the relationship between Mu Tianjiao and Mu Tianlong.
When Mu Tianjiao was nine years old, the Mu family welcomed a new life — Mu Tianlong.
She was well-behaved and sensible, and she loved this younger brother very much. However, after Mu Tianlong went to college, the relationship between the two fell into an impasse.
It was not until Mr. and Mrs. Mu passed away that the relationship between the two fell into a freezing point because of a case of fighting for the inheritance.
The content of the letter was as follows.
Just what had happened between the two of them that caused the siblings to turn against each other?
Ye Zi frowned. It seemed that this matter still needed …
Squeak.
The wheels of the taxi rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound. Ye Zi's body froze, and the letter and the file in her hands fell into the car.
"Do you know how to drive?" Ye Zi was very dissatisfied with the driver's sudden braking. She picked up the file and glared at the driver.
"I'm sorry, miss. A car in front suddenly braked." The driver pointed to a black Jeep Cherokee in front of him apologetically.
Ye Zi recognized it at a glance. It was Lin Yan's car. Her lips twitched slightly. This jinx. Why did she meet him everywhere? And when she met him, nothing good would happen.
Furious, Ye Zi threw out a bill and rushed out of the taxi. She wanted to argue with Lin Yan.
But just as she walked in front of the black Jeep Cherokee, she suddenly froze. She blinked her clear eyes and saw an acquaintance.
It was the culprit who refused to let her leave that day and caused her to walk in the rain for most of the night — Mu Tianlong.
Why was he here?!
Lin Yan rolled down the window and snapped his fingers in front of Ye Zi. "Don't blink. Look carefully."
Ye Zi frowned slightly. What did Lin Yan mean?
Her amber eyes stared at Lin Yan. She couldn't guess what he was up to.
Lin Yan looked at Mu Tianlong without blinking. Suddenly, another man ran out from the main entrance of the Muting Group. His lips curled up slightly.
Ye Zi looked suspicious. She followed Lin Yan's gaze. Ye Zi couldn't help but widen her eyes.
The man who had chased after Mu Tianlong had hugged him from behind.
Mu Tianlong broke free from the man. The two of them seemed to be a couple quarreling. Suddenly, he realized that they were outside the Muting Group. Mu Tianlong walked quickly to the underground parking lot. The man was like a well-behaved bunny, following him closely.
"Damn!" Ye Zi couldn't help but spit. "Could it be that they have a gay relationship?!"
"Ha." Lin Yan sneered. "I'm not interested in other people's affairs. If you want to investigate, you can do it yourself."
It turned out that this jinx was indeed helping her. Ye Zi patted Lin Yan's shoulder and smiled. "Thanks, bro."
Lin Yan was slightly stunned. He stared at Ye Zi as she ran into the underground parking lot.
"This woman …" He gently glanced at the shoulder that Ye Zi had just patted.
In the dimly lit underground parking lot, Ye Zi tiptoed behind Mu Tianlong and the man. She saw that the two of them avoided the surveillance cameras and walked toward Mu Tianlong's car.
At first, the two of them seemed to be quarreling. But then, Mu Tianlong hugged the man, and the two of them kissed like a storm. Then, Mu Tianlong opened the door and pushed the man into the car.
"Damn, this is so explosive. They actually have sex in the car in broad daylight!" Ye Zi shook her head slightly and sighed softly.
Suddenly, her eyes flashed. Could it be that this was the barrier between Mu Tianlong and Mu Tianjiao?!
Perhaps this could also be Mu Tianlong's motive to kill.
Ye Zi slightly pressed her eyebrows. She didn't disturb them.
"Sigh!" Ye Zi walked out of the parking lot and shook her head with a sigh. "When will the lovers embrace each other …"
She didn't see Lin Yan's car. Obviously, he had left first.
Ye Zi lowered her head and fell into deep thought. However, at this moment, Mu Tianlong and his lover walked out of the parking lot, talking and laughing.
She glanced at the two of them. They seemed to be quarreling just now, but now …
Ye Zi curled her lips and walked over to the two of them. "Hello, Mr. Mu. I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."
Mu Tianlong was stunned for a moment. He quickly searched for memories about the cute girl in front of him, but he couldn't remember anything.
"Who are you?" Mu Tianlong obviously couldn't remember her and automatically distanced himself from his lover.
Ye Zi replied, "I'm a private detective hired by Mr. Andrew Lim to investigate the truth of your sister's death."
"Oh, it's you." Mu Tianlong said in a deep voice, "Didn't I say that Mu Tianjiao's death has nothing to do with me? If you come to harass me again, I will call the police."
Holy sh * t! Ye Zi cursed in her heart. If I don't give you a hint, I will change my surname to yours.
"Mr. Mu, if you don't want others to know about your relationship with this gentleman, I hope you can cooperate with me." Ye Zi said coldly.
