"Hey, Luo Luo."
Lin Chenxuan found Yan Xiluo's phone number and dialed it. She was very nervous and had mixed feelings. Was Bai Jingquan's survival a blessing or a curse for her?
How did he suddenly become alive and even appear in downtown A?
"Sister Xuanxuan! Why did you suddenly decide to call me today? We usually communicate via WeChat."
Yan Xiluo was happy to answer the phone when she saw that it was Lin Chenxuan calling.
They chat quite a bit on WeChat, but rarely make phone calls.
"There's something I want to tell you, something you might not believe..."
Lin Chenxuan covered her forehead, her other hand resting on the window as she made a phone call.
"Sister Xuanxuan, what is it?"
What requires a phone call? Has something happened to Lin's parents? Or something else? Yan Xiluo suddenly felt vaguely uneasy, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was making her nervous.
"I just saw my former father, Bai Jingquan, Yan Yinran's biological father."
Lin Chenxuan repeatedly recalled the scene in the convenience store in her mind. She was 100% certain that it was Bai Jingquan, except for the mole on his ear and those eyes that were full of the marks of time...
"Didn't he pass away? Ranran said she kept vigil for three days and three nights and personally went up the mountain to bury him."
As expected, this news still surprised Yan Xiluo somewhat. Keeping vigil for three days and three nights and witnessing the burial was a certainty, and the news of his wife, Li Qingyan, selling their possessions and running back to her parents' home had spread throughout the village…
"Luo Luo, I can't be mistaken. That person looks exactly like him, even the location and size of the mole on his ear are the same. And he was very flustered, and then he ran away. I'm sure it's Bai Jingquan!"
Lin Chenxuan's voice trembled slightly. Although that person hadn't treated her very well... he hadn't been too bad either... She had a good memory and excellent observation skills; she couldn't be wrong...
"By the way, Sister Xuanxuan, where did you meet him?"
Yan Xiluo decided to investigate further. Perhaps his location could be considered a clue? She had been able to find out his approximate address before.
"I saw him at Xingyue KTV, right next to the convenience store!"
That convenience store is right next to Xingyue KTV, in a location you can see at a glance...
"Okay, I understand, Sister Xuanxuan, thank you. I will definitely find out the truth about this!"
Xingyue KTV? It's quite close to Pang Jiayi's residence in City A.
"Okay, I'll hang up now. I'm still outside, I'll go home first."
Lin Chenxuan realized that she had already wasted a lot of time and would be going home late, so she had to go home first.
Since she returned to the Lin family, her family members have been very worried about her. After all, she had just been brought to live in the big city and was not yet familiar with it. They told her to go home as soon as possible.
"Okay! Let's chat again when we have time."
Yan Xiluo hung up the phone, looked out the window into the distance, and pondered the matter...
Resurrected? Impossible! Unless he faked his death? Bai Jingquan doesn't have that ability! Only her Xi Gang and her subordinates possess the elixir of faking death!
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Yan Xiluo gazing out the window lost in thought, Lan Jingyan stopped typing and got up to come to her side.
"Xuanxuan told me that she met Bai Jingquan, who was her former adoptive father and Ranran's biological father."
What exactly happened? She had initially thought it was a coincidence that Bai Jingquan died shortly after Yan Yinran returned, but when she heard that he had drowned, she felt that was no longer suspicious... Was it really just a coincidence?
"Huh? Didn't you say he was dead last time?"
Yan Xiluo had also told Lan Jingyan about this matter and informed him that she agreed to Yan Yinran returning to live in the Yan family.
“He is dead. His body was kept for three days and three nights, and they watched him being buried. But Sister Xuanxuan is very certain that the person she met was him. There's something fishy about this. I need to have Pang Jiayi investigate. After all, it's his hometown, so it's easier for him to investigate.”
Since she sensed something was amiss, she decided to investigate! She would investigate why he faked his death!
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work, I'll go and run the bathwater for you."
Seeing Yan Xiluo's focused gaze, and knowing she was about to make a phone call, Lan Jingyan tactfully gave her some space.
"Uh-huh."
"Jiayi, I need you to do something for me."
Yan Xiluo dialed a number, and the other end answered quickly.
"Boss, please speak."
Pang Jiayi is already used to being on call 24/7.
I answer the phone immediately when it rings.
"Go back to your hometown tomorrow and help me find someone."
This place is Pang Jiayi's hometown, so sending him there can save a lot of time, including investigating matters. He is familiar with his neighbors, making the investigation easier.
"who?"
His hometown? Who deserves to be investigated?
Bai Jingquan.
Yan Xiluo sat back down on the edge of the bed and uttered three words softly.
"Uncle Quan?"
This surprised Pang Jiayi somewhat... and his heart skipped a beat.
"You know him?"
Yan Xiluo asked with a puzzled look.
"Yes, Bai Ling and I are childhood friends, so of course we know each other."
Pang Jiayi didn't hide anything and immediately told them what had happened.
“That makes things easier. Go and check if he’s really dead or not. Bai Ling just said that she saw Bai Jingquan at the convenience store next to Xingyue KTV and is very sure that it was him.”
Yan Xiluo casually crossed her legs, as if she had breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that things wouldn't be too troublesome.
"Boss, Uncle Quan is not dead."
Pang Jiayi confessed directly that he was the one who saved the person, and of course he knew whether the person was dead or alive.
How did you know?
Yan Xiluo wasn't too surprised. Since she and Bai Ling were childhood friends, if Bai Jingquan was still alive and appeared in the urban area of City A... wait! Could Bai Jingquan be living at Pang Jiayi's house?
Bai Jingquan doesn't have any relatives in the city, and he lives in that bustling area! Could it be that people are also...?
Yan Xiluo had already guessed the general idea...
"I saved that person, and the story is a bit complicated."
Pang Jiayi admitted to the matter, but admitted that the details were unclear over the phone...
"Then come and talk to me now!"
Yan Xiluo started playing with her fingers. Since everyone was a night owl, she wasn't in a hurry to go to sleep.
"Okay, boss, I'll be there in five minutes."
As always, Pang Jiayi would follow Yan Xiluo around, staying near her wherever she lived, ready to serve her at any time.
Pang Jiayi quickly changed his clothes and prepared to go out.
This matter is complicated, isn't it? Indeed! Pang Jiayi saved the man! But why did he need to fake his death to save him?
What unspeakable things happened in between? And why is Bai Jingquan still alive and hasn't come looking for Yan Yinran?
Could it be... that someone is targeting him?
Yan Xiluo curled her red lips, her eyes curving beautifully. She seemed to think this matter was going to become interesting.
"Ayan, there's no need to run the water. I'm not taking a bath yet. Pang Jiayi, come over now."
