Yan Lin's gaze darkened.

His expression turned grim, and he said in a low voice, "The Jiang family must be investigated secretly, otherwise it will ruin Manzhi's reputation..."

Having such a twisted family member.

If the outside world were to find out that Jiang Pengyue's bedroom had a tunnel, those who were unaware of the situation would certainly start making wild guesses.

If things go wrong, dirty water might get splashed all over the branches.

Yang Sujun turned around in surprise.

Only then did he understand Yan Lin's good intentions.

So, the reason he kept the secret exit point a secret was for Xu Manzhi's sake.

Unexpectedly, Yan Lin is both rough and meticulous.

He glanced at Xu Manzhi, whose joyful gaze lingered on Yan Lin as she said gratefully, "Yan Lin, I know you're the best to me."

She was all smiles, she couldn't be happier.

The Jiang family is gone now.

She had no more reservations and went straight to get a marriage certificate with Yan Lin to live a good life together.

Last time, Wen Jin said that after Yan Lin got married, he might still return to the border town, and asked her if she wanted to go with him to the army.

That's a must.

Wherever he goes, she has to go too.

Yan Lin gave a bitter smile.

He stood in front of Xu Manzhi, blocking her from behind, and said, "Move aside, or I'll chop this bed up."

"OK."

Xu Manzhi stepped back.

Yan Lin blew on his hands, picked up the axe, and began hacking away.

Wow.

The bed frame collapsed, revealing a glittering gold interior.

"Gold!" Yang Sujun shouted.

Xu Manzhi felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this.

Damn it.

She was so focused on tracking down Jiang Mingda that she forgot about Jiang Hejun, the big fish who had been hiding so much gold right under her nose.

Once the obvious path is taken, she won't be able to get any of them.

Waaaaah.

What a pity about the bird.

"This is all embezzled money, probably obtained by the Jiang family through corruption. Now, all the physical evidence has been gathered." Yang Sujun spat out a curse.

Yan Lin hummed in agreement.

He said, "We followed Jiang Mingda around and searched, but we couldn't find his stolen money. We didn't expect that he had replaced it all with gold. He's so cunning."

"There's no need for an investigation now. Just hand over the gold to the organization, and they can be sentenced."

"right."

Yang Sujun was the happiest.

There's not a single good person in the Jiang family... oh, except for Xu Manzhi.

Xu Manzhi was stunned.

But after hearing what the two said, I felt relieved.

Cutting into Jiang Mingda's secret stash was already an unexpected windfall. If she were to take too much from him, she would have to give back a portion of it, which wouldn't be worthwhile.

Don't be too greedy.

She clapped her hands and said, "Yan Lin, you're really great! We're getting our marriage certificate in two days, so don't be late, or I'll get angry!"

Yan Lin's face was turned away from her, so she couldn't see his expression.

As he turned around, he gently patted her shoulder and said, "You must be tired too. I'll take you back to Aunt Wen's house so you can get some rest. You don't need to worry about the Jiang family's affairs anymore. It seems that their decision not to reveal your identity was actually the right one."

Xu Manzhi has been staying in the Jiang family without any clear explanation since she was brought back.

They even messed up her household registration.

When questioned by their neighbors, they would evade the question and never give a clear answer, leaving the public with only various speculations.

The Jiang family line has ended.

Getting married is a huge problem for anyone.

"OK."

Xu Manzhi smiled and agreed.

She moved closer to Yan Lin, but to her surprise, he dodged away!

What the heck?

Xu Manzhi wouldn't let him get away.

Trying to distance yourself?

She leaned in, gave a soft "hmm," and then leaned against Yan Lin...

"Manzhi, what's wrong?" Yan Lin was extremely worried.

He caught Xu Manzhi, picked her up in his arms, and strode towards the outer door.

"Don't worry, I'll take you to the hospital now, you'll be fine." His heart was pounding, and large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

Xu Manzhi nestled in his arms, smiling with pursed lips.

This man really can't hide his true nature.

I got anxious immediately.

As soon as she got into the car, Yan Lin was about to drive when a soft hand grabbed his arm, and a fragrant scent filled his senses. The girl snuggled into his arms.

"Yan Lin, if you dare to avoid me next time, I will, I will bite you—"

*smack*

Xu Manzhi bit Yan Lin's ear.

Rumble.

Yan Lin became an instant internet sensation, turning into a shrimp ball.

His heart pounded violently, and his eyes turned ashen.

One hand hung in mid-air, unsure whether to drop it or release it, just hanging there, as if afraid of offending the delicate girl in his arms.

Xu Manzhi was not idle.

She grabbed his hand, cupped it in her hands, and pressed it against her cheek, her bright eyes gazing intently at the man's bulging face.

The girl's voice was like celestial music: "Silly boy, I am your wife. Shouldn't a wife be held by her own man? Don't look at me as weak and frail. I have chosen you. It's you."

The night was dark, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

A glimmer of light flashed by.

The light fell on the girl's pupils, flashing like starlight.

His heart softened and he gently embraced her shoulders, saying softly, "Manzhi, I hope you will be happy and joyful all your life, and I don't want to drown out the light in your eyes."

*smack*

The man was met with an unwavering kiss from Xu Manzhi.

She smiled and tapped Yan Lin's forehead, saying, "Jiang Pengyue and Zhou Xiangqun's marriage may have been based on ulterior motives, but I am different. My feelings for you have always remained the same."

Yan Lin gently exerted force with his arm.

The aroma travels from the nostrils all the way to the brain.
