"Beibei, what happened?"
"What are you doing? Don't come near my child!"
A short-haired woman wearing a pearl-colored silk dress hurried over, carrying a small cake.
The cake that the waiter had packed in his hand had tipped over due to the violent movement, and blue cream was smeared on the transparent packaging box.
Just like a girl's tear-stained face!
"Mommy, waaaaah..."
Beibei buried her face in the woman's arms, sobbing, "Daddy, I miss Daddy, why isn't Daddy back yet?"
"He clearly said he would go to the beach to catch big crabs for me, and if he caught them, I could take pictures and show them to my classmates. But we didn't see any big crabs, and my dad didn't come back either."
"I want my dad!"
"baby......."
The woman put down the cake, slowly squatted down, and raised her beautiful almond-shaped eyes to give Yan Miao and the others a warning look.
Then she lowered her eyes, adopted a gentle demeanor, and patiently coaxed him.
"Didn't Mom say that Dad had something to do? He'll be back when you grow up."
"Have you forgotten? He needs to go out and earn money. Only with money can Beibei live in a big house, go to a good school, and eat all kinds of delicious food—"
"Liar! I heard them talking about it all day. They said Dad is dead!"
"What are you up to? Why are you saying such things in front of the child!"
"Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?!"
The woman lost control and yelled at them.
“Mrs. Yuan, I think you’ve misunderstood. We just saw Beibei sitting here alone and were afraid she would get lost, so we went up to ask her.”
"We didn't say that about President Yuan."
Zhu Lan understood her desire to protect her daughter and didn't want to argue with her.
"Mother."
Beibei stretched out her chubby little hand and tugged at her expensive dress. "It has nothing to do with those two older sisters. I overheard it myself, boohoo."
“Today I was in my room and I heard the nanny talking to my grandma on the phone… She said that my dad died, that’s what she said.”
While wiping away her tears, Beibei pleaded, "Mom, please don't be so mean to my sisters."
The woman's nose tingled with emotion.
She didn't want her daughter to go through something like that!
"I'm sorry, both of you, my husband's situation has had a huge impact on our family."
"I just saw Beibei crying again, and in my haste, I spoke harshly to both of you. I'm very sorry!"
She lowered her head and sighed, her attitude was quite good.
Yan Miao waved her hand, "Mrs. Yuan, please accept my condolences."
"If there's nothing else, we'll head back now."
Mrs. Yuan seemed very anxious and tried to escape the restaurant by grabbing Beibei's hand.
Just before stepping out of the restaurant, Yan Miao said seemingly casually, "Thanks to your blue flame, otherwise Bei Bei would be very bored staying here alone."
"Ah... those are just little tricks, used to amuse children. We have other things to do, so we'll be leaving now."
She didn't want to linger there, so she gave a perfunctory reply.
Yan Miao gazed at Mrs. Yuan's tense back and said softly, "Mom, it seems Mrs. Yuan has some knowledge of chemistry..."
"It's not just about understanding, it's about mastering!"
Zhu Lan affirmed.
Blue flames are indeed a little trick in chemistry!
However, creating such a scene requires highly specialized chemical reagents, which are obviously not available on the island, so they can only be extracted from daily life.
Those who only have a superficial understanding simply cannot create blue flames!
From Zhu Lan's perspective—
Outside the hotel lobby, the crystal chandelier in the center is particularly dazzling!
It reflects different lights from different angles, dazzling the eyes.
Just like this murder case, it seems full of doubts and makes people baffled.
But perhaps the truth is right in front of us!
…………
Presidential Suite.
"Blue flames?"
"Making this is very simple. First, you need a container. If you don't have a lab beaker, just choose any sturdy transparent cup."
"Add some hydrochloric acid, then add copper sulfate, stir, and then add an appropriate amount of aluminum foil. Hydrogen gas will be produced in the cup."
"By igniting hydrogen gas with a flame, a bright blue flame can be formed!"
"It's just a very simple experiment, why bring this up all of a sudden?"
When Yan Zhao heard the two women who had just returned from breakfast mention the blue flame, they proudly began to compete to answer.
"I did pay attention in chemistry class, didn't I, Mom? I didn't embarrass you, did I?"
Zhu Lan has devoted herself to research for many years. If her son were completely ignorant in this field and utterly incompetent, it would definitely embarrass her!
At least I know a little, so I can join in their conversation!
Seeing him raise his chin, seeking praise, Zhu Lan found him extremely adorable.
She reached out and stroked the stray hair on Yan Zhao's head, not forgetting to pinch his cheek, "You didn't embarrass me, all three of you siblings are great!"
"Hahaha!"
He let out a satisfied sigh.
Yan Chengjun, who had just come out of the shower, saw that he looked worthless and really wanted to kick him out!
If you're so capable, go and stick to your girlfriend. What's the point of sticking to his wife?
Yan Zhao sensed an extremely strong killing intent behind him, and when he turned around again—
All I could hear was my father's voice, warm and gentle like a spring breeze.
"Ah Lan, the signal has been restored. I've contacted the rescue team on shore, and they will send a yacht to pick us up."
"If you want, you can leave first thing tomorrow morning!"
He sensed Zhu Lan's unease.
I don't know why, but when she saw the dead body yesterday morning, she was still able to remain calm.
But ever since I came back from Jiang Zhiyi's room, I've been feeling restless!
She, who was always focused on her, soon realized it!
"Okay, but before that, we need to take care of some things first."
"By the way, are you familiar with Yuan Shu's wife?"
Zhu Lan changed the subject and brought up the woman from earlier.
"Mrs. Yuan, why are you suddenly bringing her up?"
Yan Chengjun found it strange.
"It's nothing. I just ran into Mrs. Yuan when I went to have breakfast with Miaomiao. She seemed to be in a bad state."
"She and Yuan Shu met through a blind date. Their families were well-matched and they were compatible in many ways, so they got together."
"Mrs. Yuan's surname is Wen. She is the third child in her family. Her two older brothers are older brothers, so the family business has nothing to do with her."
"President Wen has always wanted to use his only daughter to snag a rich husband and take his company to the next level!"
"So after Miss Wen graduated, we kept arranging blind dates for her..."
He even asked Yan Shi about it.
Yan Chengjun touched his nose guiltily.
I was so startled that I hid from Mr. Wen for a whole week!
