Zhu Lan was somewhat surprised.
She never expected to run into Lin Ke'er here, and that she would care about her so much!
"Hey, don't look at me like that. You saved my life on the island. And that's not all, you saved me twice. I'm not one of those ungrateful wretches."
"Zhu Lan, although I know you don't really like me, I've long considered you a friend. It's normal to worry when a friend is in danger, right?"
For the first time, Lin Ke'er spoke properly, instead of her affected, manipulative manner.
Zhu Lan, on the other hand, was not used to it.
"Madam, you mustn't wander off now!"
The nanny hurriedly caught up, her heart pounding in her chest.
If anything goes wrong with my wife's pregnancy, I'll skin her alive!
What's going on here?
Seeing the nanny's nervous expression, Zhu Lan tentatively asked.
"We'll talk about it later. Look at the mess this place is in, don't just stand there like an idiot."
"A new restaurant just opened upstairs. The owner is someone I know. Come on, let me take you there for a meal!"
"No need, let's not trouble you today. We'll head back now—"
"Oh, don't be so polite. Besides, if you don't want to eat, let the two children rest for a while."
Lin Ke'er gestured towards Song Ran with her lips.
She had seen Yan Miao before; she was fearless and would even go up to take a look at a dead person!
This little situation couldn't faze her at all.
But the person next to him might be a different story...
Seeing that Song Ran's nose was red, Zhu Lan thought she was really frightened. After thinking for a moment, she agreed to Lin Ke'er's suggestion.
I want to find a place where she can calm down.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
The top floor of the shopping mall.
A newly opened Thai restaurant.
As soon as Lin Ke'er entered, she went straight to the private room she had booked long ago.
Everyone went inside, and she turned around and blocked the nanny outside the door. "Aunt Zhao, I ordered a set meal for you in the lobby. Go and have something to eat."
"I have something to say to my friend, so please don't stay here."
"But sir—"
Aunt Zhao didn't dare to leave.
"But what? There should be a limit to his worry, shouldn't there?"
"I'm not a criminal, what, can't I even talk to my friend?"
Lin Ke'er was getting a little annoyed.
Why didn't you do this sooner?
If he had been prepared, his six children wouldn't have died for no reason!
Why pretend to be so affectionate now?
Pah, stop being so disgusting. If it weren't for the Liu family's money, Lin Ke'er wouldn't bother to keep pretending.
Zhu Lan noticed something was wrong and waited until the door to the private room closed before asking, "What's wrong with you? The Liu family's nanny was watching you so closely."
Did she not seek revenge on the island, but instead took revenge on Old Mrs. Liu after returning home?
"Stop guessing!"
Lin Ke'er proudly touched her flat stomach, her face beaming with happiness, "I'm pregnant!"
"She's pregnant?"
"Yes, maybe even God couldn't bear to see it anymore, so He gave me this child."
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Even though the doctor has already diagnosed that my chances of getting pregnant are very low, almost impossible!
I never expected that I would find out I was pregnant just a month after returning from the island!
Lin Ke'er still can't forget the expression on that old hag's face when she found out she was pregnant—
It's like eating shit!
Despite being extremely unwilling, she forced a smile and pretended to care about herself, asking the kitchen to prepare some nourishing food for her.
She secretly threw away all those supplements!
If you fall for the same trick a seventh time, you'd be really stupid!
"By the way, you don't know this, do you? Mrs. Yuan originally refused to budge no matter what, but after Yuan Beibei and the group's lawyer visited her at the police station with the will, she suddenly changed her mind."
"He confessed to killing Yuan Shu and recounted the entire crime, including the ointment!"
"After the police found out about the ointment, they immediately came to my house. I was terrified..."
Lin Ke'er recounted what happened that day.
.........
That day, the family was having breakfast when the police suddenly showed up at the door, making Lin Ke'er extremely nervous.
These past few days, because of the ointment that killed Yuan Shu, she has been unable to sleep at night, and even wakes up in fright from her dreams. Since returning home, she has been sleeping in a separate room from her husband.
Unexpectedly, the police still came knocking on our door!
"Miss Lin, could you explain to us where this came from?"
The police officer, wearing gloves, took a box of black ointment from the evidence bag.
Of the three people at the table, apart from General Manager Liu, the other two had different expressions.
Lin Ke'er's breath caught in her throat, and her hands trembled with nervousness!
She was afraid that if she couldn't explain herself clearly, she would become a suspect.
Grandma Liu was terrified; if there hadn't been so many people around, she would have wet herself on the spot!
Thinking to himself, "Oh no, isn't this thing for Lin Ke'er?"
How did it end up in the hands of the police?
How could it be related to Yuan Shu's death?
She heard people say that Yuan Shu's death was clearly caused by Mrs. Yuan, so what exactly did the police want when they came to her door with this?
Before Lin Ke'er could answer, the police continued, "Ms. Lin, we know this matter has nothing to do with you. Mrs. Yuan has already given a complete account of Yuan Shu's death."
"The bureau's testing department extracted the substance from the ointment and confirmed that it did indeed contain pheromones that whales release to signal distress. We are very puzzled as to why you would have such a substance?"
