For a moment, He Liyu's mind went blank, filled with questions.
What tiger-headed doll? Why is he sleeping with a doll in his arms?
Looking into the girl's teasing eyes, a series of images flashed through his mind. He snorted angrily and pinched his brow.
"Is this how He Xiao slandered me outside?"
Shen Linyue blinked, her meaning clear, but she still defended He Xiao, saying, "You know, young people this age are very concerned about their image."
“Ha,” He Liyu laughed, “It seems I don’t need to save face in his eyes.”
"Pfft—" Shen Linyue couldn't help but burst out laughing, then covered her mouth and coughed. "I'll definitely remind A-Xiao next time. President He shouldn't mind, right? After all, he's your own son."
The more she talked, the more she couldn't help but laugh, even as she thought about the saddest thing in her life.
Her bright eyes held an lingering smile.
He Liyu looked at her with a deep gaze, "The tiger-headed doll is yours, it has your scent on it. After it was born, A Xiao relied on it to sleep every time. It was fine before he turned one year old, but after he turned one year old, no one else could touch his doll. Every time he took it out to wash it, it was an unavoidable fierce battle."
As he spoke, he seemed lost in memories, and Xiao A-Xiao saw the dolls hanging on the clothes rack crying their hearts out.
His eyes softened instantly, filled with warmth and love.
Shen Linyue was very surprised, never expecting that such an ugly tiger-headed doll would actually be hers.
But seeing He Liyu's kind and gentle attitude, she was stunned and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
She was not the future Shen Linyue; they shared too many beautiful memories, while she knew nothing of them.
Shen Linyue felt complicated and sad.
"Has Ah Xiao given up that tiger-head doll now?" Shen Linyue forcibly shifted her attention.
He Liyu came to his senses and nodded gently: "Before you came, I would occasionally see him secretly taking the doll back to sleep."
After he finished speaking in a serious tone, Shen Linyue was speechless. The scene was too beautiful.
She could even picture Ah Xiao holding the tiger-head doll with a look of pure satisfaction.
The disappointment vanished, replaced by a bright smile. "Haha, that's so cute!"
"Hmm." He Liyu remained noncommittal.
Thinking of something, he pursed his lips, his voice deepening: "Didn't you want to know the real cause of Xie Lin's death?"
The topic shifted so quickly that Shen Linyue was stunned for several seconds. "What is it?"
Realizing what had happened, she quickly asked, "You found out? Did Xie Lin really die from a physical illness?"
She was both eager and nervous.
Instead of speaking directly, He Liyu pulled up the document and showed it to her.
Shen Linyue's gaze quickly swept across the screen and settled on the words 'died from cerebral hemorrhage caused by kidney failure'.
"Is Xie Lin's poor health due to kidney problems?" Shen Linyue asked, puzzled.
He Liyu's eyes darkened: "I've seen Xie Lin's previous medical reports. He only has a minor heart problem, but with proper care, he can live to be a hundred years old."
Shen Linyue instantly imagined a lot of things. Under what circumstances could kidney failure occur?
So, she took out her phone and started searching on Baidu in front of He Liyu.
He Liyu noticed her suddenly looking at her phone and paused for a moment before asking, "What are you doing?"
Shen Linyue: "Ask Baidu Doctor what causes kidney failure."
He Liyu: "..." I shouldn't have asked that question.
He covered his mouth and coughed lightly: "Xie Lin's kidney failure was very sudden, it doesn't seem like..."
"Didn't you say that Xie Lin and Jiang Yanxin's relationship suddenly ran into problems? And that Xie Lin drank heavily because of it?" Shen Linyue asked.
He Liyu paused for a moment and nodded: "This is how the investigation results show."
Shen Linyue's eyes lit up instantly. She put down her phone and analyzed, "Xie Lin drank a lot of alcohol, but it might not have damaged his kidneys in such a short time. So, he must have been poisoned! With the alcohol as a scapegoat, no one will investigate further and will conclude that he died of natural causes."
He Liyu listened to her analysis and nodded in agreement: "What you said makes a lot of sense. Jiang Yanxin often comes into contact with Xie Lin, so it's very likely that she's the one who did it."
He then looked at Shen Linyue, afraid of seeing sadness or distress on her face.
Fortunately, her expression didn't change much, except that her brows were furrowed.
Shen Linyue said with disgust, "She also said that she had difficulties. Her difficulties were because she killed Xie Lin and Jiang Jinyu helped her, so she obeyed Jiang Jinyu's every word?"
She said it casually, and the whole space seemed to freeze as soon as she finished speaking.
The next second, their eyes met, and they both seemed to have a sudden flash of inspiration.
If that's the case, Jiang Yanxin will have a reason to be tied to Jiang Jinyu!
Adding to this her earlier suspicion that Jiang Zhixing was Jiang Jinyu's child, and connecting all these things together...
Everything makes sense now.
Shen Linyue still couldn't understand Jiang Yanxin's actions. If the child wasn't Xie Lin's, she could just divorce him directly. Why did she have to take Xie Lin's life? Did Xie Lin have some kind of leverage over her?
However, this is not something Shen Linyue needs to think about.
“I also found a very interesting paternity test result, want to see it?” He Liyu said.
"Another paternity test?" Shen Linyue's eyes lit up. "Look!"
...
When Shen Linyue came out of He Liyu's office, she was still a little dizzy.
She was momentarily stunned by the overwhelming amount of information she received.
They have now learned a great deal about Jiang Yanxin, and her suspicions have been completely confirmed.
Jiang Zhixing is not Xie Lin's child.
That paternity test was from 10 years ago.
He Liyu also told her that once the investigation was completed, he would ask the Xie family for their opinion. If they chose to report Jiang Yanxin for intentional murder, he would fully support them.
If the Xie family doesn't care about Xie Lin's life or death, he'll have to do it himself, which would mean a complete falling out with Jiang Yanxin, but he doesn't care.
I just wanted to know what Shen Linyue was thinking.
Shen Linyue naturally didn't feel anything. From the moment she first met Jiang Yanxin after returning from her travels back in time, Jiang Yanxin was no longer the innocent, cheerful, and adorable girl in her heart. They were just enemies.
They didn't talk much after that. He Liyu said he needed to investigate more about Jiang Yanxin, including the truth behind the Xie family's sudden bankruptcy and the doctor who examined Xie Lin, to increase the Xie family's leverage in suing Jiang Yanxin.
The final conclusion was that this day would not be far off.
For some reason, Shen Linyue always felt a sense of oppression and discomfort in her heart.
The original text did not explain all of this in detail. Jiang Zhixing was still the male protagonist, and she always felt that things would not go smoothly.
Suddenly, Su Xiao's face appeared in her mind.
Wait, if the female lead were involved, wouldn't their chances of success increase?
After all, in romance novels, the male lead is nothing, the female lead is everything!
Shen Linyue thought she was a genius. Hehe.
