Li Lanxi lowered her long eyelashes and avoided looking at the photo on Lin Yan's phone.
The woman in the photo was her.
Li Lanxi, the owner of this club. Young, beautiful, and rich. However, when it came to love life …
It seemed that every successful woman would have an emotional experience that was hard to explain to others. When Li Lanxi was twenty years old, she married a very famous rich man in the city. She became his pet canary. But the good times did not last long. The rich man died in a car accident. Luckily, he left her a part of his wealth. She opened this ladies club.
At the same time, she also ushered in the second spring of love. She fell in love with a man who was twenty years older than her. She enjoyed the man's mature charm and humor. But when she thought that she couldn't leave this man, this man told her that he had a wife abroad. Li Lanxi became a mistress again.
At that time, Li Lanxi cried in exchange for a promise from the man. He promised her that he would divorce his wife who was far away abroad and marry her. However, after waiting for three years, in the blink of an eye, Li Lanxi had waited from her twenties to her thirties.
She didn't want to wait anymore. She chose to live a free life. But at night, she inevitably felt empty and lonely. She also felt cold and needed a man's embrace. At this time, Fang Tao walked into her life.
At first, Fang Tao only worked in the club. But his young body was full of vitality. After a while, Fang Tao went to Li Lanxi's bed.
Li Lanxi would ask Fang Tao to accompany her for a few days every month. The rest of the time, they would not disturb each other. Later, Fang Tao began to ask for money. He also had a girl that he wanted to pursue.
Except for her and Fang Tao, no one else knew about this.
And Lin Yan …
Li Lanxi looked at Lin Yan and couldn't help but frown. "I don't know him."
"Heh!" Lin Yan sneered as he narrowed his eagle-like eyes. His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was faint and deep. He spoke very quickly, like a piano player playing rapidly. "On the 6th, 12th, and 25th of every month, you would go to the express hotel near K University, which is the hotel where the boy in the photo was murdered. You would have an affair with him. Am I wrong?"
How did he know?!
Li Lanxi's eyes widened. She subconsciously clenched her fists, frowned and stepped back.
"Looking at you, I don't think I'm wrong," Lin Yan said indifferently.
Li Lanxi looked at Lin Yan warily and bit her lower lip. "What do you want?"
Lin Yan: "Do you know Guo Fuhua?"
Hearing this, Li Lanxi's pale face instantly turned pale.
How could she not know the man who had been entangled with her for six years?
"What do you want?" Li Lanxi asked in a low voice.
Lin Yan smiled and raised his hand to touch the tip of his handsome nose. "I want to see Guo Fuhua."
"I have nothing to do with him anymore." Li Lanxi said.
Lin Yan: "I know you have a way to contact him."
"Are you threatening me?" Li Lanxi looked at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan: "You can think of it that way if you want."
"You …" Li Lanxi glared at Lin Yan, her beautiful eyes almost spitting fire.
But Lin Yan was still indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything. "I'll give you one day. This time tomorrow, you will still be here."
Having said that, Lin Yan turned around and left.
Ye Zi was wearing a bathrobe and enjoying the service on the beauty bed when she suddenly felt someone pulling her hand. The next second, she was lifted up by Lin Yan. The mask on her face was still on and she looked at him with a puzzled look. "What are you doing?"
"Let's go." Lin Yan only said one word.
Ye Zi frowned and pulled off the mask. "Where are we going?"
"Home."
Ye Zi was even more puzzled. Lin Yan was the one who brought her to Lanxi Clubhouse. Now he wanted her to go back just like that. She hadn't even done her research yet.
They came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
What the hell was going on?!
"Hey!" Ye Zi struggled to get rid of Lin Yan's hand and stood still. She stared at Lin Yan unblinkingly. "What are you trying to do?"
Lin Yan turned his head and looked at her coldly. "I've asked for you. Although the boss knew the victim, she didn't kill her. You won't get any clues if you stay here."
Ye Zi's eyebrows relaxed and she nodded. "Wait for me. I'll go get changed."
After changing, Ye Zi left Lanxi Clubhouse with Lin Yan.
For a long time, Ye Zi had been busy with her work in the detective agency and rarely had time to take care of herself. Today, she finally had the chance to take care of herself. Sitting in Lin Yan's Jeep Cherokee, Ye Zi touched her face. She felt that her skin was delicate, smooth, and glossy.
Lin Yan's Jeep Cherokee stopped outside Xinglan Bay Apartments and the two got out of the car one after another.
Ye Zi still hadn't found anything for the whole day. There were only 24 hours left in the golden 72 hours to solve the case. She had to help Ye Xinrou prove her innocence within these 24 hours.
The elevator stopped on the 22nd floor. Lin Yan walked out of the elevator with his straight and slender legs.
Whoosh.
Lin Yan opened the door and threw the key to Ye Zi. "My flight is tomorrow night. You can stay the night at my place. "
Ye Zi didn't think too much about it. She kept Lin Yan's key and returned home.
Ye Xinrou had been unusually well-behaved during this period of time. As soon as Ye Zi entered the house, she came up to her and asked, "Sis, did you find anything?"
Ye Zi shook her head. "Nothing."
Ye Xinrou's expression changed when she heard this. She was like a defeated rooster as she slumped weakly on the sofa.
"It's been two days and there's still no clue. I'm finished. Sis, I'm finished." Ye Xin Rou was obviously a little panicked. The words that came out of her mouth became incoherent. "Sister, how about, how about I run?"
"Run?" Ye Zi frowned when she heard this. She held Ye Xinrou's arms tightly and said in a low voice, "Where can you run to? Now, you're just cooperating with the investigation. But if you run away, Xiao Rou, even if you didn't kill Fang Tao, you'll still become a murder suspect. Dad, he's an experienced detective. Don't you understand this? "
Ye Xinrou struggled to break free from Ye Zi's grasp. "I know, I understand. But if I run away now, I might still have a chance to live. If, if it's too late … Sis, I'm still so young and beautiful. I don't want to go to jail."
"Xiao Rou, don't worry. As long as you didn't kill anyone, the police won't wrongly accuse you. Moreover, Brother Chen Mo has taken over the investigation. I believe it won't take long …"
"Soon!" Ye Xinrou smiled bitterly. "How soon can it be? Now, almost everyone who knows me knows that I'm related to Fang Tao's death. I'm already ruined. Even if I don't leave, I won't have a future. Sis, I'm begging you. Please let me go."
"You …"
"Sis, how much money do you have left to give me?"
Ye Zi was about to speak when Ye Xinrou suddenly said, "Sis, I know you've taken on a few big cases recently. You must have a lot of money on hand. Can you help me contact some people and send me to America?"
"America?!"
In Ye Zi's opinion, Ye Xinrou must be crazy. How could she say such unrealistic things?
"Yes, that's right. America." Ye Xinrou nodded vigorously.
Ye Zi smiled bitterly and shook her head slightly. She said, "Xiao Rou, can you face the reality? You're not going on a vacation. You're going to escape. Moreover, I won't allow you to leave this place."
"Sis." Ye Xinrou shook off Ye Zi's hand. "Dad has given you everything since you were young. What about me? I only have a small request now. Can't you satisfy me? "
She saw Ye Zi hesitating and hurriedly said, "Moreover, Dad has spent a lot of money on you since you were young. Before he died, he even handed over the detective agency to you. Now, I just want a little money from you, and you're just …"
"Xiao Rou, now is not the time to talk about this." Ye Zi suddenly opened her mouth and interrupted Ye Xinrou's words. She said in a low voice, "I promised Brother Chen Mo that I won't let you leave Binhai City. If you leave, it will be considered as a fugitive. After this is over, if you still want to go to America, I'll let you go to relax. "
"Dad has been like this since I was young, and so have you. In this family, I'm like an extra."
As Ye Xinrou spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls from a broken necklace.
Ye Zi felt helpless and raised her hand to support her forehead.
"If you continue to be like this, then I'll have to call Brother Chen Mo." Ye Zi's tone began to become tough. "Since you were young, only Brother Chen Mo can control you."
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll listen to you. Staying in this 40-square-meter room all day, I'm really …"
Ye Xinrou looked extremely impatient. She stomped her feet hard and ran into the bedroom.
"Sigh!" Ye Zi let out a long sigh and lowered her head deeply.
Ye Zi always felt that she owed Ye Xinrou too much.
Her father raised them single-handedly, and she also took away half of her father's fatherly love. Now …
"Xiao Rou, are you hungry? I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you."
Ye Zi walked to the door of the bedroom and tried to open it, but found that the door had been locked from the inside.
"I only eat instant noodles. If I continue to eat like this, I'll become instant noodles. I want to eat sushi."
Ye Zi thought that Ye Xinrou would lose her appetite, but after hearing her say this, she couldn't help but laugh. She still had a childish temper.
Come to think of it, she had been here for two days and had been eating instant noodles.
"Okay, wait for me at home. I'll buy it for you now."
The autumn rain was cold. The night wind after the rain carried a trace of coolness, sweeping Ye Zi's scattered long hair into the air. She raised her hand to carelessly comb her hair and walked into a Japanese restaurant near Xinglan Bay Apartments.
After packing the sushi, Ye Zi jogged all the way, but she still couldn't stop shivering.
"It's such a good day, why is it so cold?"
Ye Zi muttered and tightened her collar. Usually, at this time, the street lights downstairs would have already been on, but today, she didn't know what was going on. Not a single light was on.
The more she walked, the more anxious Ye Zi felt. Suddenly, she felt as if someone was following her.
She couldn't help but quicken her pace, hoping to shake off the person who was following her. But as Ye Zi quickened her pace, he also quickened his pace. In a flash, he almost caught up.
