Chapter 55 Maybe You Should Call Me Yilan
As the days passed, the word "God's Realm" always seemed like an insurmountable obstacle in Jia Luo's heart.
Although she no longer had that strange dream, the worry in her heart never disappeared.
She lived in a state of vague uneasiness every day, as if a hand might reach out from somewhere and slap her unexpectedly at any time.
This worry was like a dark cloud that shrouded her life, causing her to fall into deep thought without realizing it, wondering what secrets the mysterious "God's Realm" was hiding.
On this day, Wen Xu, who had been busy outside for several days and had not returned home, finally returned home.
As the family sat around the dining table for dinner, Wen Xu revealed an exciting news to Jialuo and Wen Yan.
The case of Lin Jinshu has been thoroughly investigated. Now the evidence is solid and the real murderer Lin Shizhang has been successfully captured.
"Hmph, bad guy, you deserve it!"
Perhaps it was the good news that made her very happy. She, who had a big appetite to begin with, actually managed to eat half a bowl of rice more.
"Who is Lin Jinshu? What case is this?" Old Master Wen asked suddenly, startling Wen Yan and Wen Wei so much that they almost lost control of the dishes and chopsticks in their hands.
Wen Xu was flustered. He just used chopsticks to pick at the rice in the bowl and replied vaguely, "Nothing!"
Old Master Wen's gaze moved back and forth between the two of them, obscure and difficult to understand, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking about.
After dinner, Old Master Wen, with a stern look on his face, called Wen Xu and Wen Yan to the study.
He slowly sat down on the armchair, folded his hands in front of his knees, looked straight at the two people standing in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Speak!"
Wen Xu and Wen Yan exchanged helpless looks, and both saw the same understanding in each other's eyes - this matter could not be hidden after all.
So the two of them slowly opened their mouths and narrated the whole story in detail, including the causes and consequences.
After they finished speaking, the study room instantly fell into deathly silence.
Old Master Wen was as motionless as a wooden sculpture. After a moment, he suddenly raised his palm and slammed it heavily on the solid table with anger, making a loud "bang" sound, and shouted at the same time: "Nonsense!"
"How old is Luo Luo? You took him to investigate the case, and it's so dangerous. Third brother, if you can't do your job, just quit and go home to be a playboy. But if Luo Luo gets hurt because of your work, I won't forgive you!"
"And you, Boss. You are usually the most stable one, but what's wrong with you now? Why are you so reckless? If Luo Luo gets into trouble, I ask you, how are you going to explain to your mother, huh?"
Wen Xu and Wen Yan lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.
Wen Xu was the first to break the silence and whispered, "Grandpa, we know we were wrong. The situation was urgent at the time, and we really couldn't bear to see Lin Jinshu suffer injustice."
Old Master Wen snorted coldly: "Can't bear it? You can bear to let Luo Luo fall into danger? Do you know what the consequences will be if there is a mistake?"
Just at this moment, Lolo pushed open the door of the study and ran in.
She ran straight to Grandpa Wen, stretched out her arms and hugged his legs tightly, her eyes were red, tears welled up in her eyes, she said in a sobbing voice: "Grandpa, don't be angry, don't scold the eldest brother and the third brother, it was Luo Luo who wanted to go, if you want to scold someone, just scold Luo Luo"
Old Master Wen lowered his eyes and gazed at Jia Luo's pitiful appearance. He couldn't bear to scold her.
He quickly held her in his arms, wiped her tears, and coaxed her softly: "Lolo, be good, don't cry, grandpa won't scold them anymore, but you have to promise grandpa that you won't do such dangerous things again in the future, okay?"
"Grandpa, Master asked me to come down the mountain. Besides returning to you, I also have the responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the Way, punish evil and promote good. If I encounter such things in the future, Luo Luo will still have to take care of it!"
When Old Master Wen heard what Jia Luo said, he was slightly stunned and for a moment he was in a daze.
After a moment, he sighed helplessly and said earnestly: "Forget it, Luo Luo, you have to promise grandpa that you must protect yourself. Grandpa, grandma, and your father can no longer bear the pain of losing you again!"
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will protect myself and won't let you worry."
Grandpa Wen looked at his two grandsons, rubbed his brows and said, "This matter ends here. There must be no more trouble. Also, if there is any danger in the future, you guys must rush to the front and let me know so that my sister can protect you and break your legs!"
Old Master Wen's words made Wen Xu and Wen Yan feel a pang in their hearts, and they quickly nodded in agreement.
As the days passed, although Jialuo was still full of worries about the so-called "God's world", she also tried to return her life to normal.
She began to practice more diligently and improve her strength so that she could better protect herself and her family when facing danger in the future.
On this day, Jia Luo was playing with Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wen in the playground in their backyard.
At this time, the servant came over and reported to them: "Master, Madam, Madam Lin is here with her daughter, and she wants to see you and Luo Luo."
"Mrs. Lin? Which Mrs. Lin?" Old Master Wen asked with a frown.
"She is the wife of Lin Shizhang who was arrested a while ago." The servant replied.
"What are they here for?" Old Master Wen asked again.
"I don't know, they just said they wanted to see you." The servant said truthfully.
Jia Luo listened to the conversation between several people and fell into deep thought. She didn't know why Lin Lan came to her, but she had a feeling that it was not a good thing!
"Grandpa, Grandma, go meet them and see what they are going to do!"
Old Master Wen nodded slightly, his expression full of worry: "Okay, let's go, your grandma and I will accompany you to meet them!"
Jia Luo nodded and walked towards the living room.
As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Mrs. Lin and Lin Lan sitting there. Mrs. Lin looked haggard, while Lin Lan had his head lowered, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
"Mrs. Lin, Miss Lin, what do you want to talk to us about today?" Old Master Wen asked directly.
Mrs. Lin slowly raised her head, with a complex and incomprehensible emotion in her eyes: "Master Wen, I came here today because of my husband's matter."
Old Master Wen frowned slightly: "The evidence of Lin Shizhang's crime is solid. What does it have to do with our Wen family?"
Mrs. Lin bit her lip lightly. "I know he made a mistake, but he was just confused for a moment. Lan'er and I are now... We just hope that you, the Wen family, can be merciful and let us go."
Old Master Wen shook his head decisively: "Mrs. Lin, the law is fair. Lin Shizhang himself committed a crime and should be punished according to the law. This is not something we can interfere with. You asked the wrong person for help."
"If you want him to get out sooner, you might as well go and beg him to behave better in there."
At this time, Lin Lan suddenly raised his head and looked at Jia Luo: "Jia Luo, can I talk to you alone for a few words?"
Jia Luo looked at Lin Lan, and that familiar yet disgusting feeling came over him again.
She stared at Lin Lan closely, her eyes never moving away for a long time. After a moment, she slowly nodded.
The two of them walked out to the garden together. Lin Lan stood quietly beside the garden, pinching the flowers beside her with her little hands and lowering her head slightly.
When Jia Luo looked at her, a strong emotion suddenly surged in his heart.
At this moment, she extremely disliked this little girl who was about her own age.
She knew in her heart that children should not be involved in adult matters, but she just couldn't suppress the disgust that came from the bottom of her heart.
"Lin Lan, what do you want to tell me?" Jia Luo asked.
Lin Lan did not respond immediately, but just picked the flowers beside her. After a long while, she stopped what she was doing and slowly raised her head to look at Jia Luo.
"Maybe, you should call me Yilan!" Lin Lan said softly.
