By the time Ye Zi saw Zhao Xiaoliang, he had already been locked up in the detention room and was waiting to be interrogated by the provincial office. It had only been a few hours, but he was no longer as irritable as before. He looked like a soulless shell, sitting dejectedly in the corner of the detention room with his head lowered, as though he had blocked out everything from the outside world.
"Zhao Xiaoliang." Ye Zi walked forward and called out softly.
Zhao Xiaoliang looked up at Ye Zi when he heard her. His pale lips parted slightly, and his voice was hoarse and deep. "You're the one who just …"
Ye Zi interrupted him. "I'm Ye Xinrou's sister."
Zhao Xiaoliang's lips curled into a bitter smile when he heard Ye Xinrou's name again. For her sake, a young man had ruined his future and let his elderly father …
Zhao Xiaoliang's eyes were filled with tears of regret when he thought of his own father.
If he could do it all over again, he would definitely choose not to fall in love with Ye Xinrou again, and he would definitely not kill for a woman who didn't love him.
"What do you want to say to me?" Zhao Xiaoliang looked up. His eyes were bloodshot, and his handsome face was as pale as a sheet at this moment. His eyes were filled with hatred as he stared unblinkingly at Ye Zi.
Ye Zi pursed her lips. She couldn't make up for the hurt that Ye Xinrou had caused Zhao Xiaoliang, no matter what she did.
"I want to represent Xiao Rou to tell you …"
"Haha."
Zhao Xiaoliang suddenly laughed. His laugh was so pale and weak. "Do you want to say sorry? Then, I can tell you that you'd better save it. I don't need your pity. "
Ye Zi wasn't a white lotus. She wanted to apologize on behalf of Ye Xinrou from the bottom of her heart.
Ever since she came to the Ye family, her father seemed to have put all his attention on her, and the market ignored Ye Xinrou, which caused her to become like this. In order to make up for what she owed, Ye Zi worked hard to make money, hoping that she could compensate Ye Xinrou materially.
Ye Zi helplessly walked to the detention room. She raised her eyes and saw Lin Yan with his arm wrapped in gauze. He had a cigarette in his mouth and was standing outside the door.
Ye Zi stepped forward and yanked the cigarette out of Lin Yan's mouth. She pointed her chin at the sign on the wall that said "No Smoking". "Didn't you see that? You can't smoke here. Besides, your arm is injured. Did you forget what the doctor told you just now?" Lin Yan asked.
"Meddlesome." Lin Yan glanced at Ye Zi and walked out of the Municipal Crime Squad.
"Hey!" Ye Zi raised her hand and made a gesture of hitting someone behind Lin Yan's back.
This bastard, I'm obviously concerned about him. How did it become meddlesome?
Lin Yan's glorious injury successfully attracted Qin Chen. Sitting on the sofa in Lin Yan's house, Qin Chen looked left and right. He carefully looked at Lin Yan from inside and outside as if he had never seen the world.
His gaze was as if he was looking at a Panda in the zoo. From time to time, Qin Chen would reach out and poke Lin Yan's injury. "Well, I've known you for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen you get injured because of a wretch. I heard that he was just a drunk cat and didn't have any tricks up his sleeves. What's wrong? Young Master Lin can't take it anymore? How could you be injured by a wretch? "
In response to Qin Chen's mockery, Lin Yan just treated it coldly. His pair of indifferent eyes seemed to not see Qin Chen at all. He directly stood up and opened his thin lips slightly. He faintly asked Ye Zi, "What do you want to drink?"
Ye Zi's face turned red. Her mind kept thinking about what Qin Chen had just said.
If Lin Yan hadn't been taking care of her tonight, perhaps Zhao Xiaoliang wouldn't have been able to hurt Lin Yan at all.
Ye Zi remembered that at that time, Lin Yan had been holding her hand. Even when Zhao Xiaoliang's knife was already in front of Lin Yan, he didn't let go.
Seeing that Ye Zi didn't reply to him, he slightly frowned. He raised his hand and gently waved in front of Ye Zi. He frowned and asked again, "I'm asking you what you want to drink?"
"Oh … Oh! Water, water will be fine. "
Lin Yan slightly raised his ink-like eyebrows. He nodded and turned to walk into the kitchen.
Ye Zi moved in front of Qin Chen and lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear. She asked, "What you said just now, do you mean that Lin Yan is very skilled?"
Qin Chen raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile, "You still don't know, but Lin Yan is a Taekwondo black belt, a professional kickboxing fighter, and an expert in Muay Thai. I've known Lin Yan for so many years, but other than investigating that matter, I've never seen him injured."
"That matter?!" Ye Zi didn't understand. She frowned and asked again, "What matter?"
"Little girl, don't ask blindly if you have nothing to do." Qin Chen realized that he had said the wrong thing just now. He hurriedly made up an excuse and covered it up. He smiled at Ye Zi and said, "I don't know what happened at that time. Young Master Lin actually got injured."
As Qin Chen said that, he lightly elbowed Ye Zi's arm and asked with a sly smile, "Little girl, do you know?"
Hearing that, Ye Zi's face turned even redder. She deeply lowered her head and fiddled with the front of her clothes as if she wanted to crush the torn clothes. After thinking for a long time, she stammered, "I … I … How would I know? Maybe, maybe Lin Yan just slipped away."
"Slipped away?!" Qin Chen frowned and curled his lips into a smile. "Heh, do you think he's a primary school student? Even if he faced five or six kickboxing experts, they wouldn't be able to injure Lin Yan. In my opinion, at that time, Lin Yan must have been protecting someone, and that's why that kid took advantage of the situation. "
"Huh?!" Qin Chen suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Ye Zi from head to toe. "You guys were together just now, right? Could it be … "
"No!" Ye Zi hurriedly denied. "I wasn't with him, I wasn't."
After saying that, Ye Zi turned around and ran toward the door. With a "click", she opened the door and escaped from Lin Yan's house as if she was escaping from a disaster.
Qin Chen was dumbfounded, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but twitch.
How could you say that you guys were fine? If this wasn't a trick, then what was?
The corners of Qin Chen's lips curled up again and again, and his smile was devilishly charming.
"Where is she?"
At this time, Lin Yan walked out of the kitchen. Seeing that Ye Zi was no longer in the living room, he frowned and asked Qin Chen.
Qin Chen pointed at the door and looked at Lin Yan. A dark and unclear emotion flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile, "That little girl seemed to have heard something and was agitated, so she escaped."
Lin Yan handed a bottle of mineral water to Qin Chen. "For you."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Qin Chen took the bottle of mineral water from Lin Yan's hand, twisted the cap, took a sip, and put the bottle on the coffee table. "Tell me, what's going on between you and that little girl?"
Lin Yan glanced at Qin Chen and pondered for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "You can tell."
"Ha!" Qin Chen sneered and pursed his lips. "I don't know her, but I know you. If you don't have feelings for her, why would you follow her in the middle of the night and protect her? But then again, that little girl does look like her, but if you use her as a substitute, isn't it too unfair?"
Lin Yan fell into a long silence when he heard that.
Qin Chen looked at Lin Yan and shook his head slightly. He sighed and stood up unhurriedly. He patted Lin Yan's shoulder lightly and said earnestly, "Brother, it's been so many years. If you could find her, you would have found her long ago. It was just a joke when you were young.
I think that this little girl is not bad. Cherish the people in front of you. "
With that, Qin Chen walked out of Lin Yan's house with a pair of straight and slender legs.
Lin Yan crossed his arms and rested them behind his head as he leaned back on the sofa.
Yes.
！ It had been more than ten years. If he could find that little girl from back then, he would have found her long ago.
Perhaps he was just unable to let go of his parents' death, which was why he remembered that little girl.
…
That night, Ye Zi tossed and turned on the sofa, unable to fall asleep.
She kept thinking about what Qin Chen had said in Lin Yan's house: If it wasn't to protect someone, he wouldn't have gotten hurt.
At that time, he had been holding her hand tightly and had never let go. At that critical moment, he had given Ye Zi an incomparable sense of security.
He cared about her.
If not, he wouldn't have cared so much about her safety.
Perhaps in his heart, she was special.
That was what Ye Zi thought.
As she thought about it, Lin Yan's arrogant and cold smile appeared in her mind. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. Then, she inadvertently revealed a smile similar to Lin Yan's.
Ye Zi turned over and hugged the pillow as she fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when Ye Zi woke up, it was already ten o 'clock in the morning. She rubbed her eyes and sat up in a daze. She looked around the house but didn't see any trace of Ye Xinrou.
Perhaps Ye Xinrou was worried that Ye Zi would blame her for playing with other people's feelings, so she left early in the morning.
After washing up, Ye Zi changed into a new T-shirt, jeans, and a simple ponytail. She carried her backpack and left the house.
"Morning."
As soon as Ye Zi stepped out of the door, a low and gentle voice came from behind her. She hurriedly turned around and saw Lin Yan in a well-ironed black suit. His sleeves were rolled up casually, revealing his arm wrapped in gauze.
She couldn't help but think of the scene of Lin Yan protecting her. Suddenly, her cheeks turned red. She hurriedly avoided Lin Yan's gaze and responded faintly, "Morning."
"Are you going to work?"
The two walked to the elevator together. Lin Yan pressed the button for the elevator to go down, looked sideways at Ye, and asked softly.
Ye Zi nodded. "Yeah."
Lin Yan said, "I'll send you."
"No need," Ye Zi quickly rejected Lin Yan, "I want to go to the Municipal Crime Squad to find my Brother Chen Mo first."
"Oh?! Chen Mo … Brother! "
Lin Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes. He deliberately emphasized the word "brother", as if he was jealous. Wonderful! (
