Chapter 209: Speaking Frankly
When Anliu came to pick up the pattern at the appointed time, he was told that he didn't need to be notified.
"Why is that?" Anliu came in and saw the thick stack of papers. He thought about what he had prepared but changed his mind at the last minute.
"If we look for someone in a high-profile manner, it will only make the turtle retreat deeper." It was the visual impact brought by the thick paper that made Jiang Lin think of this.
"Then let them go unpunished?" Anliu was almost fuming.
Jiang Lin thought of the bag of silver he had given him, and raised one corner of his mouth. If the other party dared to make such a provocation, he would have to bear his anger.
Anliu was frightened by Jiang Lin's expression, "That, that must be impossible."
Qin Xiangnuan was beside Jiang Lin and didn't notice his expression, but the strange reaction of the undercurrent made her look over.
Anliu met Qin Xiangnuan's gaze and the curve of his mouth widened a little.
"You go find them yourself," Jiang Lin said, "but you'll have to wait two days."
Anliu said he knew about it and then withdrew.
After the people left, Jiang Lin continued what he had talked about with Qin Xiangnuan before he came.
"Nuannuan, please continue." Jiang Lin didn't quite understand.
Qin Xiangnuan opened her mouth and condensed what was supposed to be a lengthy speech into one sentence, "If those two people I injected with drugs didn't make it, they would be in a poisoned state by now, and they would definitely be looking for medicinal herbs."
"Then we just need to go to the clinic and wait?" Jiang Lin asked.
"That's what I mean." Qin Xiangnuan nodded. "I'm going to do an experiment in the next two days to find the necessary medicinal ingredients."
Jiang Lin agreed and told Qin Xiangnuan to do it without worry, and he would keep her safe.
Fortunately, the two people also "came back to life" on the night Jiang Lin and his friends left the inn, but they didn't remember clearly what happened after taking the Chinese medicine.
Moreover, Qin Xiangnuan did not inject them with the antidote that day, which reacted with the drugs accumulated in their bodies. They were still feeling weak and were now looking for a way to be rescued.
Qin Xiangnuan got the result in just one day, and Jiang Lin immediately sent people to keep an eye on the purchaser of that kind of medicinal materials.
"Jiang Lin, don't worry, we will definitely find them." Qin Xiangnuan hadn't seen Jiang Lin's brows relax in the past few days. Before, she didn't have the exact direction, so it was difficult to comfort him. Now that she had a clue, she tried to persuade him.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin met Qin Xiangnuan's gaze. He could see the worry in her eyes, but more importantly, she was calm, which was different from ordinary people.
"I believe you." Jiang Lin said and looked away.
Qin Xiangnuan felt that it shouldn't be like this, but at this moment she couldn't say what it should be like.
No one noticed at first, but after just a few days, Qin Xiangnuan and Jiang Lin became estranged, and the news reached everyone's ears. Unexpectedly, Nuan Yang was the first to point it out.
It was because when Nuan Yang went to play with Qin Xiangnuan, Jiang Lin did not show any hostility.
Liu was worried about the conflict between the two, so she persuaded Qin Guang to go talk to Jiang Lin.
"Let the children handle their own affairs." Qin Guang refused.
Liu was extremely worried. "After all, he is Prince Jiang. I'm afraid Nuannuan will suffer a loss."
"No." Qin Guang was quite helpless.
Qin Guang, who emphasized that Qin Xiangnuan would never be wronged, was finally forced to come and talk to Jiang Lin under pressure from Old Lady Qin and Liu.
"General Qin." Jiang Lin noticed their movements from afar and waited here on purpose.
"Prince Jiang." Qin Guang was a little embarrassed to speak.
Jiang Lin guessed why he came, and he also heard some rumors about him and Qin Xiangnuan from other people.
"General Qin, please come this way." Jiang Lin led his men to a secluded place.
The first sentence he said almost made Qin Guang lose his balance.
"When did you know? How did you discover it? What do you think of Nuannuan..." Qin Guang looked around vigilantly and asked in a low voice.
"We bumped into each other by chance when we left the inn, and Nuannuan told me everything," Jiang Lin answered honestly. "I didn't hurt Nuannuan."
Qin Guang was most concerned about the last question, "Isn't this what you've been doing these past two days? Isn't this harmful?"
"I..." Jiang Lin thought to himself, it was clearly Nuannuan who hurt me.
But Jiang Lin couldn't say this. In Qin Guang's eyes, his hesitation confirmed the harm.
"Prince Jiang, no matter what, Nuannuan is my daughter." Qin Guang said sternly, "I want justice for her."
Jiang Lin couldn't help but frown, "Don't you know she's not Qin..."
"Of course I know." Qin Guang said, "But so what, she is still my daughter."
Jiang Lin couldn't help but ask, "They are two completely different people. How can they be your daughters?"
"I never considered them as one person." Qin Guang wanted to continue.
Jiang Lin raised a hand, interrupting him, and then muttered to himself, "They have never been the same person, so there is no problem of distinguishing them as Nuannuan mentioned."
This was the mental deadlock that Jiang Lin had fallen into before, created by Qin Xiangnuan, but now Jiang Lin found a way out. He no longer needed to distinguish Qin Xiangnuan whom he met.
Since leaving Beijing, Jiang Lin has been living with the current Qin Xiangnuan day and night. He had only met the previous one a few times and had mostly heard rumors about her, so this could not be considered an acquaintance.
"Thank you, General Qin. I know how to tell Nuannuan now." Jiang Lin's gloom turned to cheerfulness. After saluting Qin Guang, he headed towards where Qin Xiangnuan was.
Qin Xiangnuan learned from Liu that Qin Guang had gone to talk to Jiang Lin and asked her not to worry, but Qin Xiangnuan was not at all worried.
"Mom, you have no reason to look for Jiang Lin." Qin Xiangnuan frowned slightly.
Liu took Qin Xiangnuan's hand and said, "Nuannuan, mother is worried that you will be bullied."
After hearing this, Qin Xiangnuan withdrew her gaze from the surroundings and fell on Liu's worried face. The other party was obviously afraid that she had met another Gu Mingqi.
Qin Xiangnuan comforted her after exhaling softly, "I know that this is for my own good. I was a little hasty just now. Don't take it to heart."
"What did Nuannuan say? Why would I bother with you?" Liu scolded, then felt uneasy. "Your father has gone to see Master Jiang. Is he okay?"
"No." Qin Xiangnuan asked her to go and rest first, and she would go find two people.
However, both of them met each other halfway.
"Jiang Lin, my father didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
"Nuannuan, I understand."
The two spoke at the same time. Jiang Lin didn't give in this time. He pulled Qin Xiangnuan aside and said before she could speak, "Listen to me first."
Jiang Lin's excitement was evident on his face, so Qin Xiangnuan's question was meaningless, so he nodded.
"I didn't know how to refute what you said that day," Jiang Lin said, "but today General Qin enlightened me. I don't need to distinguish between you and the previous Qin Xiangnuan, and I don't want to look for her. Whether you believe it or not, I only sent people to protect the entire Qin family because of General Qin in the first place."
