Yan Zhouzhen and Wang Cuier took the train back that night.
Yan Lin instructed that if they were not invited, they should not come to Haicheng, as it was unnecessary and would only add burden to his wife.
His words were both blunt and cold.
Yan Zhouzhen was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. If Wang Cuier hadn't held him back, they would have started a fight.
After finally getting the person off, Secretary Ling came out right after.
"What, Secretary Ling, you've gone to all this trouble to make this trip yourself? You must be exhausted," Yan Lin teased.
Secretary Ling smiled bitterly.
He reached out to pat Yan Lin's shoulder, indicating that he had no choice, but Yan Lin easily dodged the gesture.
His hand missed its target.
Secretary Ling awkwardly withdrew his words and said, "Aye is my son. Do you think I'm so despicable that you would send your own son to the guillotine?"
Yan Lin sneered.
He said softly, "Does that matter? The Wen family has also been suspended from their posts and are under investigation, and Aunt Wen is under strict surveillance. Only you are unaffected. Do you think the others need more understanding?"
After saying that, he turned around and went to get his bicycle without looking back.
Currently, the investigation into his dismissal has not yet concluded, but he has essentially had all his other benefits revoked, and he can no longer use the company car at will.
He didn't care.
Cycling is pretty good too.
On the way, a car followed him all the way. When he saw the people in the car, he couldn't help but want to turn the car around. Unexpectedly, the car suddenly stopped and the people inside rushed out.
"Yan Lin—"
Ye Qiqi rushed to him.
"What's the matter?" Yan Lin asked coldly.
Ye Qiqi was extremely anxious.
She had a lot to say, but didn't know how to start. After a long pause, she finally said, "Your face is only temporarily healed, right? We know about Comrade Xu Manzhi's matter. If you need any help, just tell us."
Yan Lin's face immediately turned cold.
He said unhappily, "I wouldn't dare trouble Dr. Ye. People like us are not worthy of your esteem. Don't see me unless it's absolutely necessary, or I won't be so polite."
After saying that, he rode off straight away.
He felt extremely uncomfortable whenever he saw Ye Qiqi.
I don't know why I feel so irritable.
But acting on his soldier's instincts, he wanted to stay as far away from Ye Qiqi as possible, and absolutely not have anything to do with her, lest he be struck by lightning.
Ye Qiqi was feeling humiliated and was in a bad mood.
As soon as she turned around, a figure got out of a car next to her.
"Ye Qiqi, I've already prepared my things and am going to your house to propose marriage. Go back now. You've seen it yourself, Yan Lin is so handsome it's outrageous, you're even less worthy of him," Qian Lei said with a smile.
"If you can't speak properly, then shut up. Who would want to marry you? You should take a good look at yourself."
Ye Qiqi got into the car without hesitation.
But it's clear that Qian Lei never gave up.
He has a kind of determination to achieve his goal.
Ye Qiqi was extremely annoyed.
She's been hiding for so long, how come Qian Lei is still haunting her?
Could it be that he has no goals and is just fixated on himself?
The thought of this made her inexplicably irritable, and she felt an urge to kill someone.
**
Family compound.
Xu Manzhi had just finished tidying up a pile of medicinal herbs when Jiang Pengyue walked in from the doorway.
Her expression immediately turned cold.
"Are you sick? Didn't I tell you, please don't come unless you want to? You're not welcome in our home. You should know your own limitations, right?" Xu Manzhi said unhappily.
Jiang Pengyue's face turned both pale and red.
She wanted to shout back: "Who wants to come looking for shamelessness? I was forced into it."
But she didn't dare.
The thought of Xu Manzhi getting a great deal and Yan Lin's looks being miles ahead of Zhou Xiangqun made her regretful, regretting that she hadn't agreed to the marriage in the first place.
Yan Song had initially set his sights on her, but Jiang Mingda flatly refused. Plus, she'd heard that Yan Lin was an ugly monster, and she was so angry she wanted to jump up and curse him…
Who could have predicted that things would turn out differently one day?
She thought that Yan Lin only had eyes for Xu Manzhi. He was a bit cold, but his character was incredibly good. Whoever married him would be incredibly lucky.
Such a precious treasure, ruined by Xu Manzhi.
Now that Xu Manzhi is in trouble, she will be arrested sooner or later... Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Pengyue couldn't help but feel a little smug.
Marrying well is useless.
Xu Manzhi wasn't destined to enjoy that kind of life.
She was amused by her own thoughts and instantly stopped caring about Xu Manzhi's cold and indifferent attitude. Instead, she smiled and said, "I was afraid you were too lonely, so I came to see you. Do you think your yard is some kind of hot commodity?"
As she walked, she looked at Xu Manzhi's medicinal herbs.
She was heavily pregnant and didn't care about anything else.
Xu Manzhi turned around and went to the kitchen, took out a cleaver, slammed it on the stone table, and sneered, "Are you going to get out of here or not? I need to cut medicinal herbs. The blade has no eyes. If you hurt your precious darling, don't blame me."
Huffing and puffing.
Jiang Pengyue's heart trembled.
To be honest, Xu Manzhi looked quite intimidating with her fierce expression. She hurriedly stuffed her fingers into the medicinal herbs, turned around without even touching the ground, and muttered as she walked away, "Hmph, you're so smug, let's see how long you can be arrogant."
She left in no time.
Xu Manzhi took out the disinfectant and was about to spray the medicine when she suddenly saw a white light in the pile of herbs. A picture flashed in her mind, and she picked up the winnowing basket and went straight back into the house.
As soon as she entered, she took out a slip of paper from the pile of medicinal herbs, unfolded it, and glanced at it.
The note read: Nine o'clock, No. 89 Xianghua Street.
Xu Manzhi was stunned.
She found it strange, so she crumpled the note and was about to throw it away, but out of caution, she put the note into her spatial dimension.
But thinking about Jiang Pengyue's rambling and mysterious manner, I felt that there must be something strange about it.
Since becoming pregnant, her sense of smell, sight, hearing, and fighting ability have been greatly reduced, and she has gradually felt overwhelmed and weakened. Occasionally, she even experiences blurred vision and can always see a flash of light on the roof.
I didn't pay attention at first.
But recently it's been quite frequent.
There's a possibility someone is secretly monitoring her...
Could it be the mysterious person who helped Jiang Pengyue back then?
The thought of this possibility instantly ignited Xu Manzhi's anger. She waited silently, intending to tell Yan Lin everything when he returned, and then the two of them would go and take a look together.
But Yan Lin never returned.
She also received a notice that Yan Lin would be away on official business for seven days, and that she should stay at home and not go out.
Xu Manzhi suddenly felt even stranger.
As the time drew closer to 9 o'clock, she finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and released a very large black snake from her spatial dimension, along with several venomous snakes to accompany her.
When she arrived at Xianghua Street, she searched and searched following the house numbers.
Number 89.
Xu Manzhi's heart stirred, and she decided to sneak in.
The moonlight was as white as day.
She gazed at the hazy reflection and reached out to knock on the door.
