“Explain yourself clearly. With my current status, I can spare your life, as long as you confess the truth. Otherwise, I have a hundred or a thousand ways to make you wish you were dead,” Ling Junye added.
"right."
Zou Xiaozhou's eyes also flashed with a fierce light.
Yan Lin, however, was the calmest person present. Before Wang Jianguo could speak, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "What, your information wasn't sold off by Ye Qiqi? Coincidentally, the person who bought your information is surnamed Fang."
"How...how did you know?" Wang Jianguo asked in shock.
He was scared, terrified.
Yan Lin was inhuman, forcing him to run and dart around like a stray dog, making him worse than a stray dog. Most of his glorious life was gone forever.
At this moment, he was still planning to use his last bit of value to save his own life...
"Hehe, you could guess that even with your toes."
Yan Lin stood up.
He clapped his hands and said to Ling Junye and Zou Xiaozhou, "This guy is yours now. He's got a lot of bad karma, speculation and profiteering are his basic business. If he didn't have a few lives on his hands, he wouldn't be living such a smug life."
"where you go?"
Ling Junye couldn't help but ask.
The accomplice has been caught. Doesn't he want to know where Ye Qiqi is hiding, or what role Ye Qiqi played in that fire?
"It's no use. You can't get anything useful out of him. Qian Lei is eyeing Wang Jianguo's wealth and power. You'd better make your move sooner rather than later."
Yan Lin washed his face and left the courtyard.
He investigated all along and had sensed something was wrong.
Several houses were in Wang Jianguo's hands. Although they were registered under other people's names, a little investigation would reveal who the real owners were.
The houses themselves are nothing special; what's remarkable is the wealth of yellow and white objects buried beneath the old houses.
At first, he didn't think that much about it.
But the deeper he dug, the more he vaguely understood what Wang Jianguo did, and he also recalled Qian Lei's repeated attempts to find him and reveal information to him...
He casually checked Qian Lei's financial situation.
Goodness.
Qian Lei borrowed a lot of money and looked quite respectable, but with his limited abilities, he was no match for the daughter of a high-ranking official. He was probably just thinking of cheating her out of her.
Once you understand one thing, you understand everything.
He didn't want to let Qian Lei benefit from it.
It would be a waste to simply urge Ling Junye and Zou Xiaozhou to join forces and sweep away all the wealth behind Wang Jianguo, lest it be eaten by pigs.
After leaving the forest, Yan Lin planned to return to the military region to find Fang Manzi.
Coincidentally, Fang Manzi was also looking for him.
The two met in front of the military compound.
"Yan Lin".
Fang Manzi rushed forward.
A hint of frustration, tenderness, and sadness flickered in her eyes as she greeted Yan Lin upon seeing him.
"What is your relationship with Ye Qiqi?" Yan Lin asked directly.
Fang Manzi stared blankly.
She seemed to have anticipated his arrival, and in the end, she couldn't hide it any longer. After all, one wrong step leads to another, and being too hasty only alerted him.
“Five years ago, when I passed through Fang County, I met a girl covered in blood. At first, she did not reveal her identity to me, only saying that she had been bullied and did not want to go back to the past or recall the past. She also said that she would be called Awu from now on.”
Feeling compassion for Ye Qiqi, who was also a woman, she took her in.
Ye Qiqi possesses extraordinary medical skills.
During her time in Beijing, she gradually seduced herself, using a magical little bean to pinch her face, claiming it would transform her into a stunningly beautiful angel, captivating anyone who saw her.
She originally had an ordinary appearance, and no matter how she dressed up, she could not be considered pretty. She was captivated by Ye Qiqi's words and then followed her arrangements to gradually change her appearance.
Over the course of five years, she grew more and more beautiful, becoming breathtakingly so. But this also made the Fang family feel strange; why did their daughter look less and less like a member of the Fang family as she grew up?
Her father even took her to have her blood tested.
Ye Qiqi fulfilled her promise, turning her into an unparalleled beauty and teaching her medicine, treating her with even greater kindness than the Fang family.
She also thought that Ye Qiqi genuinely wanted to repay the life-saving grace, so she had no doubts about her and followed her arrangements in everything, until one day, she saw a group photo in Ye Qiqi's room.
The photo showed a woman who looked 80-90% like herself, next to an extremely ugly man. It was a shocking sight, and at that moment, she realized that she had unknowingly fallen into a trap set by Ye Qiqi over five years.
She confronted Ye Qiqi.
That day, she completely lost control, screaming wildly that she wanted to ruin her face.
But Ye Qiqi, or rather Awu, said softly, "You enjoy the glory I bring you, and experience how beauty enhances your wealth. I also teach you medicine, allowing you to enter the circle of nobles and possess unparalleled glory. Isn't it only right that you take some risks?"
Ah mistakenly pointed to the photo.
She tapped her finger lightly, pointing at the ugly man, and said, "If you want to be as ugly as him, I can make it happen anytime, as long as you stop using my nano mud."
At that moment, Fang Manzi was frightened.
She didn't want to become ugly, and she didn't want to lose everything she had gained, which forced her to submit to Ah Wu.
From then on, every step she took was guided by A-Wu, leading her closer to Lüliang, then to Haicheng, and finally to Yan Lin, ultimately helping A-Wu retrieve the Thunder Cloud Pearl...
"I asked her back then what exactly the Thunder Cloud Pearl was," Fang Manzi said.
"She said it was a fortune, an immense wealth that one could never spend in a lifetime."
She was very interested when she first heard it.
Of course, she also thought that completing this task would be extremely easy.
But Yan Lin was too clear-headed.
He was completely oblivious to the face that was almost a perfect replica of his wife's, and he could always glean deeper meaning from her words. In the end, he even sold out Wang Jianguo, but still failed to obtain Lei Yunzhu.
"Where is Ye Qiqi? This is the last question." Yan Lin asked.
Fang Manzi shook her head.
She handed Yan Lin a note and said, "This is what A-Wu gave me last. She said we would never meet again in this life and told me to go back and live my own life."
Yan Lin unfolded the note.
Every word was a piece of advice from Manzi.
Her handwriting is childish, and it's likely that her child wrote it for her.
But after reading it over and over again, he actually came to a conclusion: Yan Lin, your destined wife is Qi Qi.
77...
Yan Lin crumpled the paper into pieces, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it twice.
Bullshit.
His wife's name was Xu Manzhi, not Ye Qiqi.
What a piece of trash, what an idiot, to dare to shout like that.
He wouldn't give up until he dragged her out of the shadows and exposed her to the light of day.
"Go away. Don't come to Haicheng again, and don't contact her. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died. If you don't have the intelligence, don't covet what you can't have. You're not worthy of your position; even if you get it, it will be redistributed." Yan Lin said.
Fang Manzi clenched her fist.
Yan Lin's words were spot on; they struck a nerve and brought out her long-standing fears and anxieties.
She is simple-minded and acts rashly.
If it weren't for Ah Wu's guidance, she wouldn't be where she is today, nor would she have achieved such glory.
She had to retire gracefully.
She left Haicheng, quit her job, and went to do what she was supposed to do.
