Chapter 178 Contradiction



At Feng'an Mall, a young couple dressed in matching outfits and behaving intimately, along with their good looks, immediately attracted a lot of attention.

These days, aside from wealthy housewives and women with an extremely strong desire to shop, there aren't many people who actually come to the mall. The mall mainly profits online. And it's even rarer to see a handsome young man like this accompanying his girlfriend shopping; they seem like a very loving couple.

Sensing the envious glances from those around her, Lian Han's face would have turned dark if she hadn't tried her best to restrain herself.

It's one thing for a girl to ask her out shopping, but why do men have to make such a fuss?

"What exactly do you want?" Lian Han asked in a low voice, his tone threatening.

"Isn't there anything you want to buy?" Li Yingmo asked, leaning down and whispering in Lian Han's ear, taking advantage of his height.

Lian Han took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to push the person away, and said coldly, "What do you think I'm lacking?"

Li Yingmo was speechless. With the Ling family as her backing, she really lacked nothing. Even if she did lack something, her brothers would immediately buy it for her. Besides, even if they bought things now, they couldn't take them with them later.

However, this little princess didn't seem to like shopping. This clear realization made him abandon his shopping plans, and he whispered, "He asked me to take you somewhere."

"Him?" Lian Han paused for a moment, guessing that "he" must be Qian Ya.

Where to?

"You'll see when we get there. He also said he wanted you to have a good look around." Li Yingmo said this with a look of inquiry in his eyes.

Qianya had mentioned before that he wanted to borrow Lian Han's eyes, and at that time, the girl and her brother's expressions both changed. Although he didn't know what they were talking about, he could guess that her eyes were extraordinary. He wondered what Lian Han could see?

"We'll find out when the time comes," Lian Han rolled her eyes at him, having already vowed that if she ever acted with Li Yingmo again, she would write her name backwards!

Han Ningshu is full of wicked schemes, while this Major General Li is simply overly arrogant! He says he hired her because he trusts her, but in reality, he treats her like a child. He hasn't said a word since; did he hire her to be someone else's daughter?

Her gaze swept over the arm linked with hers, and Lian Han secretly decided that if he didn't give her a reason today, she would beat him up first that night.

Li Yingmo was unaware that he was about to anger the girl. He walked and stopped along the way, finally approaching his destination.

This is the top floor of the mall, an area for guests to rest and enjoy the view. As the tallest building in this area and close to the sea, Feng'an Mall offers a truly pleasing panoramic view.

Lian Han glanced at it only once before looking away, "Here?"

Li Yingmo smiled and said, "The area might be a bit large, please bear with me."

So it's this floor—Lian Han was speechless. Was it because Xi Ye Mou didn't need to expend mental energy?

"How long ago was that?"

"How long?" Li Yingmo asked, then shrugged. "I don't know."

Lian Han stared intently at him until Li Yingmo felt uneasy, then gently said, "A-Tu, be good. You're not feeling well, so take a rest. I'll go for a walk."

That tone of voice sent shivers down Li Yingmo's spine.

Lian Han ignored him and walked alone to the specially made glass. His dark eyes flashed with a ghostly light as he began to recall what had happened nearby.

The sparse figures in front of him disappeared and reappeared several times, and then suddenly a pool of red splattered on the glass. Lian Han's gaze sharpened, and he stopped channeling his spiritual energy into his eyes, shifting his gaze to his surroundings.

The events of that day were recreated one by one.

No one knew what she saw. Li Yingmo only saw the girl's expression change several times before she left without looking back. He had no choice but to chase after her.

"Why are you leaving all of a sudden? Aren't you going to continue shopping?" He still remembered to cover for him.

Lian Han seemed not to hear him and quickened his pace.

Without receiving a response, and knowing that some things were not suitable to be asked in public, Li Yingmo could only frown and follow her, preparing to talk about it later.

However, Lian Han didn't seem to intend to leave right away. She went to the 67th floor of the mall, but before she could take a few steps, she was stopped by a security robot. "Honorable guest, the 67th floor of Feng'an Mall is currently undergoing maintenance due to equipment malfunction and is not open to the public at the moment."

Lian Han frowned, his gaze sweeping across the empty floor, and with a hint of disappointment, he took Li Yingmo's arm. "I see. A-Tu, let's come back another day."

Li Yingmo glanced at the girl who seemed to have returned to normal, and they left together...

"What are you up to? Are you afraid others won't notice that Shui Yiyue is acting strangely?" Li Yingmo asked immediately after closing the door to the girl's bedroom.

Lian Han, who originally had something to say, immediately hardened his expression upon hearing this tone. "General Li, you have quite the airs!"

“Answer my question.”

Lian sneered, "I'm just playing tricks, I want people to see that I'm an imposter, so what can you do about it?"

"you……"

"Huh? Stop, stop, stop! Why is there infighting inside?" Qianya appeared out of nowhere between the two.

Lian Han blinked, "Turn into water?"

She had only sensed a wisp of water vapor when the person appeared.

“Miss is clever,” Qianya replied with a smile.

Lian Han snorted and sat down in front of the dressing table to take off her earrings and necklace. These were essential items for Shui Yiyue when she went out, and she had no choice but to wear them.

Seeing that she clearly didn't want to talk to them, Qianya coughed and looked at Li Yingmo, "What happened?"

Li Yingmo explained her unusual behavior on the top floor of the mall.

As one of the people who knew about what happened that night, Qianya immediately realized that Lianhan must have seen something, and asked, "Miss, what did you see?"

Lian Han closed the jewelry box and said lightly, "From the time I arrived at Zhuyan Star until now, I can say that I know almost nothing about this operation or its purpose."

"We must have forgotten to tell you. I'll tell you now. Didn't we say we were going to collect evidence? I..."

"No! I don't want to hear it now! Go back to where you came from, I need to rest."

"you……"

Just as Li Yingmo was about to say something, Qianya stopped her, "Miss, don't be angry. This is because I didn't explain it clearly to the Major General. Please rest first, and we will come again tomorrow."

After saying that, Qianya pushed Li Yingmo out and then turned into water and disappeared.

His greatest asset in becoming the Ice Clan's First Ice Palace was his control over water.

"Don't be angry, tell the old man what you saw that made you react so strongly?" Xing Yucheng asked.

[Hmph! Sentencing someone to death so casually, what kind of major general is this? I'm going to beat him up by the end of the operation! Nobody stop me!]

[Who dares to stop you? Tell me first what you saw.]

[I saw...]

Lian Han suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked at his AI. It was a communication request—an unknown communication without a note.

Was it a harassing call or a sales call? Lian Han hung up immediately. But soon the smart device rang again from the same number.

Lian Han hung up again. Then the phone rang again.

Third time's the charm. This time she hesitated for a moment, then finally answered, "Who is this?"

A familiar voice came from the other end, "You dare to hang up on me?"
