Qi Nuan stared at Lu Yin intently.
He met her gaze, seemingly unconcerned with her skeptical tone. "What do you think?"
"There's something that's very strange now that I think about it. Gu Hui has been desperately searching for the secret key to the will, trying to prevent the new will from taking effect. Logically, the new will should be more beneficial to you, but you haven't been very proactive."
Lu Yin nodded and motioned for her to continue.
"Also, even though I was sick and dizzy that day, I still remember clearly that I showed you the house information that Qi Meng sent, but you weren't curious at all. I guess you didn't even look at it in the end."
Now when Qi Nuan thinks back, she feels that Lu Yin's feeling at that time was as calm as if he had known about the existence of the house for a long time.
And there was Lawyer Zheng from the Gu family. She and Qi Meng had both called him many times, but he didn't answer any of them. He just came to confirm Qi Meng's information with Lu Yin.
"So, you already knew that in addition to the written will, there was also a recorded will. Even if you couldn't be a witness to the will, you were at least aware of the existence of the recorded will, right?"
Lu Yin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes were dark and unclear, and his true emotions could not be seen.
"Even if it is, so what?"
Qi Nuan's face was calm and he lowered his eyes: You have been lying to me from the beginning.
When she raised her eyes again, her gaze was more determined: "You knew about the relationship between my sister and Gu Tingze from the beginning, right?"
Lu Yin didn't respond, but just stared back at Qi Nuan with his eyes. His face, which rarely changed expression, was now even calmer.
"You must have seen this photo before."
Qi Nuan took the light photo out of his coat pocket, placed it on the table between the two of them, and pushed it forward.
It was the one that Gu Hui showed her, and she quietly put it into her pocket and took it out.
Lu Yin didn't even stand up. He just leaned forward slightly and took a glance, with a look of understanding.
"Gu Hui gave it to you? As a new threat?"
Qi Nuan didn't know if it was an illusion, but she heard a hint of coldness in his voice.
She nodded to Lu Yin and met his eyes, which looked even darker under the light.
"Ha." Lu Yin laughed briefly and stood up. "Looks like I need to show you the source of the photos."
He pulled out a pair of thin black leather gloves from his sportswear pocket and put them on, then walked closer to the old-fashioned rotary telephone hanging on the wall not far away.
Lu Yin spun the dial with his index finger, then picked up the receiver and said, "Bring him in."
After giving this simple command, he hung up the receiver.
Lu Yin walked back to the sofa opposite and sat down again. Without looking at Qi Nuan, he just lowered his eyes and tapped the back of the chair with his gloved fingers.
Qi Nuan didn't speak up. While she was curious about who he would bring with him, her eyes unconsciously followed the rise and fall of Lu Yin's fingers wrapped in black gloves.
After a few minutes, she was brought back to her senses by the sound of the door opening.
Following a burst of quick footsteps, Zhao Yu, who was also wearing black gloves, was seen grabbing a middle-aged man by the back of his neck and bringing him in.
It's a face that looks familiar.
Qi Nuan felt that she must have seen this person before, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah," the man tried to steady himself as Zhao Yu pushed him forward. After he stood still, he gave Lu Yin a servile smile and said, "Boss, you're here?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, his unique hoarse voice and thick accent made Qi Nuan jump to his feet.
"This person, isn't it?"
Lu Yin nodded: "Yes, those are the photos he took."
Those... that is to say, there are not just one, there may be many similar ones.
Qi Nuan suddenly recalled the scene where Qi Jun beat up this man in front of the hospital when his father was critically ill and hospitalized.
So that's how it is. She was far away at the time and didn't know the truth.
So, that's why.
She gasped twice, raised her legs and quickly walked to the middle-aged man, raised her right hand and slapped him hard: "You bastard!"
"Ouch!" Not sure if the man was really hurt by Qi Nuan or was pretending, he yelled and fell to the ground.
Only then did Qi Nuan see that his hands were tied tightly with black cables behind his back.
Lu Yin stood up and walked to Qi Nuan. He pulled out a wet wipe that smelled of alcohol from somewhere, pulled up the hand that she had just slapped, and wiped it carefully twice.
"He's thick-skinned, and you aren't. There's no need to use so much force. If you need help, just tell me and let a professional help you."
“…”
Qi Nuan looked back at his staring eyes, feeling her stinging and trembling right palm, which was slightly cool because of his wiping.
"I couldn't help it. I'll tell you next time."
Lu Yin raised the corners of his eyes, as if he was smiling.
He pinched Qi Nuan's flushed palm, then turned and walked towards Zhao Yu, taking a metal bar that he handed over.
Qi Nuan watched Lu Yin unfold the tool, which turned out to be a folding knife.
He walked up to the middle-aged man and hooked his finger.
The man immediately got up, took two steps back, and begged for mercy: "Boss, spare my life, boss..."
Lu Yin ignored him, stretched out his long arm, grabbed the cable that bound his hands, rubbed the skin of his wrist with the tip of the knife, and cut it with a "click".
"I'm not going to stab you, why are you hiding?"
He folded the knife, threw it casually, and threw it back to Zhao Yu.
"You need to change your habit of tying people up. If you use this thing for too long, your hands will break. This gentleman is a paparazzi. If his hands are broken, he won't be able to hold the camera and take secret photos."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man, who was clearly freed after being untied, squatted on the ground and curled up into a ball, becoming even more obedient than when he was tied up.
"You locked him up?"
Qi Nuan asked Lu Yin.
Lu Yin glanced at the man on the ground: "Did I lock you up? Do you want to get out now?"
The man immediately shook his head wildly and rushed forward to hug Lu Yin's thighs: "No, no, no, boss, please don't chase me away. I'll be dead if I leave."
Seeing Special Assistant Zhao's face darken, Qi Nuan quickly moved, as if wanting to come up and pull away the man who was hugging the boss's thigh.
But the man's screams came even faster.
“Ah ...
Lu Yin kicked him in the chest and sent him flying.
“Bang!”
The loud noise of falling made Qi Nuan couldn't help but shrink his shoulders and close his eyes.
Lu Yin took off his gloves and slapped the leg that was touched, with a look of disgust on his face.
The middle-aged man curled up into a ball, holding his chest and groaning in pain, but he still begged for mercy: "Boss, please, don't chase me away. The Gu family will not let me live. Please."
Lu Yin took the wet wipes and wiped his legs again before throwing them and the black gloves into the trash can.
He looked at Qi Nuan who had been staring at him and calmly brushed his bangs back.
"My dear lady, I will listen to you, this bastard, will you stay?"
