"So, it's not that I didn't want to bring her back, but that she chose to leave on her own."
"You scoundrels!" The old woman threw down her cane in anger, her face grim. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? She's gone, why didn't you find her? Don't you know how many young women have disappeared without a trace lately? Do you treat human life like a game?"
Boss Yi had already prepared his explanation: "I was in prison and didn't know Lianxue had left. By the time I found out after I was released, it was too late."
Yi Hai blinked guiltily, forcing himself to remain calm, and said, "We actually sent people to look for her a long time ago, but we haven't been able to find her whereabouts yet. We didn't tell you so as not to worry you."
"Did you really not find it, or did you just not search properly?" The old woman's dark eyes swept across the three brothers' faces. "Or are you hiding some other information?"
The three Yi brothers immediately replied in unison, "Of course not."
The old lady snorted coldly, "In short, I order you to bring Lianxue back! The Yi family has no need for such cold-blooded and ruthless people."
After saying that, she turned and left, accompanied by her "housekeeper" Yi Tianran.
After confirming that the old lady had gone far away, the three brothers returned to the ward and closed the door.
"What did that old woman mean by her last words? If we can't find Yi Lianxue, does she mean she'll kick us out of the Yi family?" Yi Hai's face was contorted with rage as he gritted his teeth. "She's already a corpse; bringing her back would only bring bad luck!"
“Speaking of Yi Lianxue’s death, it is probably inseparable from that person.” Yi Laosi’s face was heavy, and he lowered his voice and said, “I knew long ago that he was not a normal person, but I did not expect him to be so perverted. It’s one thing to play with women, but when he was unhappy, he actually killed them all and cut off their heads.”
Yi Hai snorted coldly, "Before, when he was abroad, it was his territory, so of course he could do whatever he wanted. But now that he's in China, especially in a place like the capital, he's caused such a big commotion. The police will definitely investigate to the end and won't let him go."
"Fortunately, we caused an accident back then..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Boss Yi's cold and murderous tone, "Enough! Just pretend you don't know anything about this. In short, don't get involved with him publicly."
"Yes."
Yi Tianran listened to their conversation through the miniature listening device, and her expression changed slightly.
It seems her guess was right. The Yi family did know who was behind Yi Lianxue's death, but in order to cover it up, they deliberately distanced themselves from the matter.
Could it be Chu Lin, as she had previously guessed?
But how could the Yi family have gotten involved with Chu Lin? The status of Luo Feile and the Yi family is not equal. They were one in China and the other abroad. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have any connection.
She was prepared to continue her investigation when she received a call from Kasha, who told her in a somber tone, "There have been two more cases of missing girls in the city recently."
Because she had accepted the bounty and was still searching for the whereabouts of that Tokyo tycoon's daughter, she paid more attention to suicide attempts related to this.
The police tried to suppress the news, but the parents made too much of a fuss.
The fact that the missing person is a young girl makes it hard not to suspect that it was the work of the same person or a group of criminals.
Yi Tianran frowned. "Wait until we meet to discuss this in detail."
When the two finally met, Kasha showed her the information she had gathered about the two girls.
Yi Tianran was slightly taken aback when she suddenly saw the two photos.
Are they sisters?
“No!” Kasha answered instinctively, glancing at the photo as well.
He then exclaimed in surprise, "Huh—I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it, but just looking at their eyebrows and eyes, they look quite alike!"
The girl in the photo has bright, clear eyes, long eyelashes, and curved eyebrows; she looks like the kind of girl who is particularly pure and innocent.
Yi Tianran pulled out the previous photos again and carefully compared them. She found that their eyebrows and eyes were more or less similar. In short, they all looked innocent.
Let's look at the places where the two girls last disappeared: the arcade, the amusement park...
Yi Tianran raised an eyebrow, and at that moment an idea suddenly came to mind.
Her eyes lit up as she smiled at the girl opposite her. "Kasha, have you ever heard of entrapment?"
Kasha paused for less than three seconds before guessing the deeper meaning in her words, and her heart skipped a beat. "You're not thinking of using yourself as bait, are you?"
"Bingo!" Yi Tianran snapped her fingers, smiling like a cunning little fox. "Since criminals like to kidnap this type of girl, my makeup skills can perfectly disguise me as the perfect appearance that criminals dream of. After going to the places where these missing girls last disappeared, I don't believe the criminals won't fall for it."
"No!" Even though her plan was 100% perfect, Kasha rejected it immediately. "That's no ordinary thug. He could very well be the killer in those headless girl cases! His methods are cruel and vicious. You'll be in danger."
"Don't you know my abilities?" Yi Tianran smiled confidently. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Only in this way can we prevent more missing girls from being murdered. Don't you want to complete that high reward and find the young lady of the JD.com conglomerate?"
“I’d like to, but I can’t let you risk your life to infiltrate the enemy camp!” Kasha said, then, as if remembering something, suggested, “Let me go! This is my mission, and I should complete it. You help me disguise myself, and I’ll…”
"No." Yi Tianran refused her without even thinking.
Kaisa: "Why?"
Yi Tianran raised an eyebrow and said arrogantly, "This is my suggestion, and I won't let anyone else take it away. Besides, we've competed with each other so many times before, and I've lost to you every time."
“You…” Kai’Sa was furious. “I was the one who lured you into a trap in the last game, so don’t get too cocky.”
Yi Tianran said confidently, "I had already figured out a way to escape, and I successfully survived in the end, so I won."
Kasha was speechless at her shamelessness.
However, she knew in her heart that Yi Tianran said that simply because he didn't want her to take any risks.
But she felt the same way, didn't she?
Who can just stand by and watch their best friend become bait?
"In short, your proposal is doomed to fail." Kasha decided to go all out. "Even if I agreed, your Mr. Fu would never let you use yourself as bait. If you try to take risks behind his back, I'll tell him right away."
She couldn't cure Yi Tianran, so she didn't believe that President Fu couldn't either.
“Okay!” Yi Tianran said calmly, pulling her up. “Let’s go ask Mr. Fu for his opinion now.”
