Chapter 184 I Love You

When Lin Yan received the message from Shu En, she was packing up and preparing to go out to meet Xing Yu.

Xing Yu also saw the news and the two made an appointment to meet.

When I opened the door, I saw a black plastic bag at the door.

The bag was tied neatly and didn't look like garbage.

She looked around and saw no one.

He picked it up and rubbed it in his hand for a while. It felt light and there was a piece of paper inside.

When I opened it, I saw a piece of paper with two short lines of words written on it. The handwriting was neat and powerful in black signing pen.

Shuen's child is not in Lantai, but in Shangguang Town, Baishi County, Qingyang City.

The second line contains the specific address.

When Lin Yan saw the news, a hint of surprise appeared at the corner of her eyebrow.

Who is…?

Is this news true or false?

She folded the papers and walked downstairs with a wary look on her face.

I found that Xing Yu’s car was parked on the side of the road.

After getting in the car, she told Xing Yu about this.

After reading the contents on the paper, Xing Yu pondered for a few seconds and decisively started the engine.

Lin Yan guessed something: "Going to Qingyang now?"

"Um."

"What if it's a trap?"

"Whether it's a trap or not, we'll know when we get there. We can't let Shu En take the initiative. We have to fight back."

Lin Yan thought it made sense and acquiesced.

Driving to the airport, they bought tickets for the nearest flight and boarded a plane to Qingyang City.

Two hours later, the plane landed and they took a taxi directly from the airport to Shangguang Village.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at our destination.

It was the hottest time of the year, and the heat in the air burned her skin.

In front of me is a one-story bungalow with a courtyard.

Although the house is old, it is lively and the yard is full of vegetables and flowers.

Lin Yan and Xing Yu did not rush in, but stood not far away and observed.

After waiting for a long time, a girl with two ponytails ran out of the open door. She looked about six or seven years old, followed by a little yellow dog wagging its tail.

The girl was very fair and was wearing a pink dress. She was chasing and playing with the puppy in the yard.

After inquiring, they learned from the neighbors that the owner of the house was surnamed Ruan.

She is a widow in her fifties.

This child came to Shangguang Village half a month ago. He said he was the child of a distant relative in the city and was sent to the village to play during the summer vacation.

Her name is Qin Shuangyi.

The surname is Qin, so that should be correct.

Lin Yan asked Xing Yu: "What do you mean? Now?"

Xing Yu: "Hold still. Let's see if it's a trap."

Lin Yan didn't know when she started to listen to him and nodded subconsciously.

But then he felt he was being too submissive, so he muttered, "It's 36 or 37 degrees Celsius. How long are we going to sit still? I'm afraid we'll get heatstroke if we keep going."

Xing Yu's eyes swept across the sweat beads on the tip of her nose and her sunburned face, then he raised his hand and pointed at the convenience store not far away.

"Go buy something at the store and stay inside. I'll just keep an eye on you."

Lin Yan didn't respond to him and walked towards the convenience store. In less than two minutes, she came out again with two bottles of mineral water in her hands.

She threw it to Xing Yu awkwardly: "Drink."

Xing Yu unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to her: "Drink."

"I have hands, I can twist it myself."

Xing Yu had an expressionless face as he stuffed the opened bottle of water into her hand, took the unopened bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, and poured it down his throat.

Seeing that Lin Yan was still beside him, he said in a steady voice, "Let's go to the store. It's in the shade here, but it's hot."

Lin Yan leaned against the tree trunk: "It's not too hot."

Xing Yu slightly pursed the corners of his lips.

Lin Yan has a stubborn personality to begin with, and her split personality is even more stubborn than the main one.

Stubborn, there's nothing I can do.

I have no right to care about her.

"Stand on my left."

Lin Yan was confused: "Why?"

"It's cool over here."

She could tell that every word Xing Yu said was devoid of emotion, and he didn't even look at her during the conversation.

But somehow, some of his little details would poke her heart from time to time.

It's hard not to be moved by a man like Xing Yu.

Although she didn't want to admit it, the fact was that she was attracted to Xing Yu.

It’s not her fault, it’s Xing Yu’s fault. It’s because he is too nice.

Anyway, no internal friction.

"Xing." She looked at him, suppressing her dancing eyes and speaking as casually as possible: "There's something I need to tell you."

Xing Yu's gaze remained fixed on the child in the distant yard, and he replied perfunctorily, "Yeah."

"I'm in love with you."

Xing Yu paused for a moment and turned to meet her gaze.

His eyes darkened, and without a second thought, he rejected her bluntly.

"Qi Yue, I only like Lin Yan."

The stiff atmosphere became even more depressing under the heat.

"Not bad, you passed the test." She raised her eyebrows, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of water, saying lightly, "I was just testing you for Lin Yan. Don't think too much about it. I don't like men like you."

Xing Yu's expression was calm and indifferent: "Not boring?"

Lin Yan shrugged, drooped her eyelids and stopped talking.

After more than an hour, Lin Yan felt unable to bear it anymore.

Xing Yu is worthy of being a soldier. He has received training in the army and is quite tough.

There is no apparent discomfort in the body.

Lin Yan didn't understand: "We just keep watching? Don't take any action?"

"We have to wait until dark before we can take action." Xing Yu said calmly, "Right now, it seems that only that woman and Qin Shuangyi are at home. I don't see any traps, but we can't let our guard down."

Lin Yan was confused. "If it wasn't a trap, then who would be helping me behind the scenes? And who would even know such a secret about where Shu En's child is?"

Xing Yu had no idea either: "Let's wait and see."

"Okay." Lin Yan felt a little dizzy. "I'll go to the canteen for a while. Call me if you need anything."

When Lin Yan recovered, she realized that she had taken a nap on the recliner in the convenience store.

The old lady in the convenience store was also sitting there with a palm-leaf fan, her head drooping, taking a nap.

I looked at my phone and it was eight o'clock in the evening.

Several hours passed.

As he stood up and stepped out of the store, his eyes fell on Xing Yu who was not far away.

He was still standing there.

Divine man.

Just as I was about to walk towards him, a private car drove in from a distance.

She saw Xing Yu hiding behind a big tree and immediately became alert.

He retreated back into the convenience store.

The car drove past and stopped outside the bungalow.

Intuition prompted her to stick half of her head out and look outside.

A man and a woman got out of the back seat of the car. Although both of them were wearing masks, Lin Yan recognized them as Qin Yuan and Shu En at a glance.

The sun was not in vain today, I really gained something.

They got out of the car quickly and walked into the yard cautiously, one after the other.

The door opened and Qin Shuangyi jumped into Shu En's arms.

Shu En's face was full of happiness and excitement. He pulled down his mask, hugged Qin Shuangyi and kissed her several times.

Then the door closed, blocking her from view.

The phone rang and Xing Yu sent her five words.

【Go to the back of the yard.】

Then, she and Xing Yu walked slowly around to the backyard in the dark.

After observation, there was a half-open window on the left side of the bungalow.

I could just see into the house.

The two exchanged glances and walked over.

Before he got close, the voices of Shu En and Qin Yuan talking inside the house could be faintly heard through the cracks in the window.

Shu En: "Didn't you say last time that Yi Yi was in Lantai? When did you bring her back to China?"

"Half a month ago." Qin Yuan said, "Lin Zhi has been investigating me recently, and I'm worried about leaving Yi Yi in Lantai."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"If I told you Yi Yi was in China, wouldn't you be clamoring to see the child? Lin Yan is watching you so closely, don't let anything go wrong again."

"Lin Yan is under my control for now, so I'm not afraid of her." Shu En paused for a moment, wanting to say something but stopping himself: "But..."

"But what?"

"Shu Lun is now beginning to doubt Lin Yan's identity. I'm afraid... sooner or later he will find out that Lin Yan is his daughter who was abducted many years ago..."
