Fan Xiaofan was unaware of the turmoil that had erupted in Beidu.
He only breathed a sigh of relief after the Zhan family sent another letter indicating that the matter had been resolved, and then went back to his work.
When Shi Lingheng came to Ruan Jiu's place again, Ruan Jiu said jokingly, "It seems that childhood sweetheart is very important to Xiao Fan..."
The watch he was twirling in his hand was the newly acquired watch, which was also the reward for gathering information.
Shi Lingheng, who had been sitting rather unruly, instantly sat up straight: "What childhood sweethearts..."
Ruan Jiu clicked her tongue twice: "Why are you so concerned? It has nothing to do with you..."
Shi Lingheng discovered that some people are just meant to be punished, don't you think?
So after Ruan Jiu was forced to retreat again in the courtyard by some people under the guise of sparring, he spilled everything he knew.
"I heard that we grew up together and even share the same interests and research interests, so we are like-minded."
He said he wasn't afraid of pain at all, but he also didn't want to lose his life...
Sooner or later, he will beat Shi Lingheng to a pulp...
He attacked while Shi Lingheng was not paying attention, but Shi Lingheng seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and after a few moves, he was at a disadvantage again.
"If you share the same goals, do you know the saying 'being near the water tower allows you to get the moon first'? Can someone who is so far away still be called a threat?"
Shi Lingheng threw a punch with a flourish, which Ruan Jiu barely managed to dodge.
Ruan Jiu thought to herself, "Damn it! Luckily I dodged quickly, otherwise the injury to my lower abdomen that had just healed would have been aggravated again..."
The two stopped fighting. Ruan Jiu covered her aching mouth and hissed, "I suspect you're taking revenge out of personal grudges. Didn't you say you'd stop when you'd had enough?"
Shi Lingheng glanced at him indifferently, shrugged nonchalantly, and offered a completely insincere apology: "Oh, I accidentally lost control..."
Ruan Jiu: I don't believe you for a second.
The bald guy had already brought iodine and medicine and applied it to Ruan Jiu. Ruan Jiu glanced at her current appearance in the mirror and was not satisfied at all. You know, you don't hit someone in the face.
He tossed the medicine bottle aside, telling Shi Lingheng to apply the medicine himself, and then said, "Are you really tempted?"
Shi Lingheng looked at him: "Why not?"
Ruan Jiu frowned: "Xiao Fanren is naturally good. The only reason you're not good enough for her is because we're walking on a knife's edge right now. Do you want to drag her into this?"
Shi Lingheng paused in applying the medicine, then shook his head: "She won't reach the legal marriage age for another two years, I still have time."
Ruan Jiu punched him in the chest: "Then work hard, I support you."
Shi Lingheng made the same gesture with his other hand: "I want to thank you. Without you, I would have had a lot more trouble."
"Alright, why are we talking about this? Let's talk about your situation. Wen Yuennan was dealt with because of Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yi's troublemaking, but they won't give up. Do you have some plans? My people will keep an eye on things in Beidu for you, and they'll let you know if anything happens."
When Ruan Jiu got down to business, his expression became serious, but the medicine on his face always gave him a strangely comical look.
Shi Lingheng nodded: "They will definitely send more people. The more they move, the closer we will get to the truth. The cause of my brother and sister-in-law's deaths will come to light sooner or later."
His eyes were cold and piercing.
Like a giant beast that has been lying in wait, it will devour its prey in one gulp when it relaxes its guard.
