Lin Yan originally thought that a simple business acquisition could bring benefits to Lam Group, but he didn't expect that the Muting Group would turn out to be a cancer. Although he had used all means to suppress everything, otherwise, he was afraid that Lam Group's involvement in drugs would have already spread all over the city.
Lam Group was the leading enterprise in Binhai City, and there were many pairs of eyes staring at it from behind. Lin Yan absolutely couldn't let anything happen to him.
He was silent. It was already difficult to maintain a smile on his face, but at this moment, it was as if there was a thick layer of lead clouds covering his face. This matter had to be resolved quickly.
But now, the only person that Lin Yan could use was Ye Zi.
No one knew who the traitor in the company was …
Lin Yan narrowed his sharp eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "Try to cooperate with Ye Zi, don't let …"
"Ouch." Qin Chen's eyes curved into a crescent moon, and he looked at Lin Yan with a smile. He gently elbowed Lin Yan's arm and said mockingly, "When did our Young Master Lin start to have tender feelings for women?"
Lin Yan's cold eyes were like knives, and he fiercely glanced at Qin Chen and said coldly, "Didn't you say that you wanted to expand the law firm? Haven't you found a financial backer yet? "
"What do you mean?" Qin Chen's eyes widened. "Have you thought it through?"
Lin Yan said, "Now it seems that I should reconsider."
"Don't." Qin Chen quickly reached out and grabbed Lin Yan's arm. "I think that building in the city center is good."
"You wish." Lin Yan broke away from Qin Chen's hand and walked straight into the house.
"Bang." As soon as Qin Chen stepped forward, his nose came into close contact with the door.
"Aiyo." Qin Chen exclaimed. He squatted on the ground and covered his nose. He glanced at Lin Yan's house and muttered in a low voice, "A guy who values love over friendship."
Ye Zi was eavesdropping at the door. When she saw Lin Yan return, she looked like she had nothing to do and played with Lin Yan's suit jacket at the door.
Lin Yan
He looked down at Ye Zi condescendingly and asked with a slight frown, "Do you like this dress?"
"Ah?!" Ye Zi glanced at Lin Yan and then looked at the clothes in her hand. She quickly let go of her hand and changed the topic. "Why did Qin Chen look for you?"
Lin Yan chose Ye Zi to investigate the Muting Group, so there was no need to hide it. He said bluntly, "There are drugs flowing out of the Muting Group again. I'm afraid you don't have much time to investigate."
When Ye Zi heard this, she couldn't help but frown.
The situation was already very serious, and the only clue she could grasp was Zhang Shiqing. But now …
She bit her lip and was silent for a moment before she said, "How much time do I have?"
Lin Yan said, "Three days."
Ye Zi took a deep breath and then nodded hard. She raised her hand and made an "OK" gesture. "No problem."
Is there really no problem?
Ye Zi repeatedly asked herself in her heart. As soon as she said this, she began to regret it. This was not a simple case of catching an adulterer. She couldn't alert the police and had to investigate clearly. It was not a simple matter.
She didn't speak, and Lin Yan was also silent.
For a moment, Lin Yan's living room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. It was as quiet as a ghost town.
After a long time, Lin Yan's thin lips opened slightly and broke the silence. "Okay, I'll give you three days. I hope you won't let me down."
Now, no matter what she said, she already regretted it. Ye Zi took a deep breath and nodded forcefully.
Three days it is. Even if I have to risk my life, I won't let you look down on me.
However, three days …
Ye Zi frowned. When she left Lin Yan's living room, she forgot about the pain in her feet. She didn't know if it was because of Qin Chen's secret prescription or because of Lin Yan's massage.
After returning home, Ye Zi laid down on the bed. Not long after, she could hear faint breathing sounds coming from the tip of her nose.
When she woke up, it was already dusk. The orange-yellow sunlight shone through the window and shone on Ye Zi's face, covering it with a layer of golden light. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly. Then, she slowly opened her eyes.
"Feels good." Ye Zi stretched her body, and her joints emitted a crisp "ka ka" sound.
She sat up and looked out of the window.
She didn't know when it started, but it had been a long time since Ye Zi had the leisure to take a good nap like today. Ever since she took over the "Scented Knowledge" Detective Agency from her father, she was like a candle burning at both ends. Not only did she have to work hard to make a living, but she also had to take care of Ye Xinrou. It seemed that she had gradually forgotten herself in the past few years.
On the contrary, she only felt her existence after getting to know the jinx.
Ye Zi always thought of Lin Yan from time to time. Although she always scolded him every time she thought of him, she also felt at ease.
Knock, knock, knock …
Ye Zi had just put on her slippers and was about to go to the living room to pour a glass of water when she suddenly heard a series of knocks on the door. The knocks were very rhythmic, light and slow.
She didn't have to guess to know who was knocking on the door.
Ye Zi walked quickly to the door and realized that her ankle was no longer hurting.
"Jinx … Mr. Lin, what's the matter?"
Ye Zi wrote the nickname "Jinx" and blurted it out.
Lin Yan's figure was tall and straight like a tree. His shadow fell and enveloped Ye Zi. "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Oh my god?!
Ye Zi blinked her eyes in disbelief. Did she hear wrongly? Lin Yan actually asked her what she wanted to eat?
Usually, when she wanted to freeload a meal at Lin Yan's place, he always gave off the feeling that he was a thousand miles away from her. Did he take the wrong medicine today? First, he helped to rub her feet, and now he's asking her what she wanted to eat?
Ye Zi moved closer to Lin Yan and blinked her clear and bright eyes. "Lin Yan, did you take the wrong medicine?"
Lin Yan frowned slightly. She often called his name, but now it sounded like a light feather gently stroking his heart. It was soft and ticklish.
What kind of feeling was that?
Lin Yan couldn't figure it out himself.
He pressed his eyebrows slightly and opened his thin lips slightly. His voice was distant and low. "Accompany me to the supermarket."
"Huh?!"
Ye Zi was even more puzzled. The two of them looked at each other. In her heart, she was sure that Lin Yan was up to no good. Her ankle had just recovered and he wanted her to accompany him to the supermarket. A man like Lin Yan definitely wanted her to carry the things.
If she didn't go …
But thinking about it, the food that Lin Yan made, that taste …
She swallowed her saliva and nodded.
Then, the two of them, one tall and one short, one fast and one slow, walked out of Xinglan Bay Apartments.
Jiafu Supermarket.
Lin Yan's actions made Ye Zi dumbfounded. She had never imagined that a man like Lin Yan would actually personally push the shopping cart in the supermarket.
He was still tall and straight, like a model walking on the runway. Green peppers, bitter gourd, carrots …
One by one, the vegetables were placed into the shopping cart by Lin Yan. Ye Zi took a glance and slightly furrowed her brows. None of these vegetables were to her liking.
Ye Zi took a few quick steps and caught up with Lin Yan. She tugged on Lin Yan's sleeve gently.
Lin Yan turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
"No meat?!" Ye Zi was a carnivore. Her little pink face was enough to explain everything.
Lin Yan nodded and only uttered a "Mm" between his teeth.
Mm? What did that mean?
Ye Zi blinked her eyes and said, "Didn't you just ask me what I want to eat? These …" She pointed at the vegetables in the shopping cart and said, "None of them are to my liking."
"Health."
Lin Yan said another two words that instantly killed Ye Zi's taste buds.
Ye Zi glanced at him. Lin Yan, of course, understood what Ye Zi's gaze meant. Lin Yan looked at Ye Zi's slightly red cheeks. This time, he said a few more words, "Your foot has just recovered. You need to eat more nutritious vegetables. These are very suitable for you."
"But they don't taste good." Ye Zi curled her lips.
"My culinary skills … Ha!"
What was Lin Yan laughing at?
Ye Zi furrowed her brows. Was he trying to tell her that his culinary skills could make these vegetables that she didn't like to eat since she was a child into a table full of delicacies?
Ye Zi didn't want to compromise. She said word by word, "I want to eat meat."
Lin Yan took a step back and pushed the shopping cart in front of Ye Zi. His meaning was obvious. He wanted Ye Zi to be the leader. Of course, it was only limited to buying vegetables.
Ye Zi displayed her foodie nature. Steak, pork bones, lamb rack, chicken leg …
There were all kinds of food, and all of them were meat.
It was rare for Lin Yan to suggest going to the supermarket. In Ye Zi's refrigerator, there were only instant noodles that were about to expire. If she didn't take advantage of Lin Yan, it seemed that she would be letting him down.
Ye Zi threw everything she could and wanted to buy into the shopping cart one by one. But Lin Yan took it out one by one.
"Why can't I sell it?"
Ye Zi finally couldn't take it anymore.
She questioned Lin Yan angrily.
Lin Yan held a bag of potato chips and said calmly, "Potato chips are made from sliced potatoes and processed with oil at high temperature. Generally, it contains 3040 fat. The oil content of potato chips is usually about 30. It is a high-oil and high-salt food. Like other fried food, long-term consumption is not good for health. It is a junk food. "
Ye Zi was stunned for a moment. The corners of her lips twitched slightly. It was just a potato chip, and Lin Yan said so much "nonsense" at length.
Ye Zi: "I like it."
"Potato chips are junk. Junk is usually stored in the trash can." Lin Yan put the potato chips on the shelf. "Could it be that your stomach is the trash can?"
