“Mr. Yan, I can’t accept this! My boss already pays me a salary, I can’t accept extra money from you. Delivering herbs is also part of my job.”
Pang Jiayi was a man of principle; he refused Yan Yuze's check.
"Consider this my personal way of thanking you."
Yan Yuze still hoped he would accept it.
"Really, there's no need, Mr. Yan. I appreciate your kind offer. I should go now."
Pang Jiayi refused again.
"Then how about this, I'll treat you to a meal sometime!"
Yan Yuze was still very grateful to him; it wasn't easy for him to carry such a sack around.
"Alright, Mr. Yan, I'll head back now."
After saying that, Pang Jiayi quickly left. To be honest, he was hungry too!
Yan Yuze filtered the herbs according to the prescribed dosage, then put them in a pot to start decocting.
Pang Jiayi Apartment
"Uncle Quan, you can't go out until the matter is investigated. Someone is already watching you! If they confirm you're not dead, they will definitely try every means to find you and kill you!"
Pang Jiayi noticed that many people had been asking about him recently, and guessed that Bai Jingquan had been seen going out.
He will be able to go out normally once things calm down, but he will have to be very careful.
“I’m always very careful when I go out. The other day my mask strap broke, so I rushed back.”
He always wears a mask and hat when he goes out, and he really can't figure out what went wrong. If there is anything wrong, it's that time his mask suddenly broke a while ago.
But he rushed back after buying his things, and there weren't many people around.
"No matter what, let's wait until this gets over. Once the truth is out and the people are dealt with, you can start living a normal life."
After all, he and Bai Ling (Lin Chenxuan) were childhood friends, and even as her adoptive father, he had to take care of her.
We must not let him be harmed by wicked people.
"Do you think Lingling will forgive me? It's all my fault. I kept blaming your aunt's death on her birth, which is why I distanced myself from her... which led to your step-aunt abusing her. I only found out about these things after you told me! It's all my fault!"
He was unaware that Bai Ling (Lin Chenxuan) had been suffering abuse from his wife in his home.
I only found out now that his wife was a two-faced and vicious woman, and that she had sold off all the things in the house!
He always knew he was cold towards Bai Ling (Lin Chenxuan), a knot in his heart that he couldn't untie, but he never expected that his coldness would cause her such double harm.
“Uncle Quan, whether Lingling forgives you or not is between you two, but she has always been kind... The hurt she has suffered can never be made up for; it has been her nightmare for over ten years!”
If she had been any more assertive, she wouldn't have suffered Li Qingyan's abuse for so long!
Pang Jiayi, as her childhood friend, felt very sorry for her and treated her like a younger sister.
"I will spend the rest of my life making it up to her! It was my fault that caused her to suffer all this."
Two lines of regretful tears slid down Bai Jingquan's face. If he hadn't experienced this, he would never have understood all of this!
"Hmm. What you do next is up to you. Let's eat first..."
Pang Jiayi said calmly that this was all he could do; there was nothing more he could do.
City A
Li Group Branch
"What? Why are you only telling me now?"
When Li Shaochuan received the phone call, he angrily slammed his fist on the table, startling his assistant so much that he spilled his coffee on the floor.
The assistant hurriedly picked up the broken pieces of the cup and quickly cleaned it up.
"Boss, we didn't show up because I saw Young Master Lan's men take care of it. By the time we found out and followed them, it was already over."
The person on the phone spoke in a trembling voice, as if afraid of saying the wrong thing and angering Li Shaochuan again.
He led his men to the scene, but Lan Jingyan's men had already subdued the group.
In order not to alert Yan Xiluo and to ensure her safety, he immediately led his men to retreat.
"Have you investigated that person thoroughly? Who is he? Why is he chasing after Miss Six?"
Li Shaochuan's tone was icy; Yan Xiluo had almost gotten into trouble on his own turf. Ever since she returned, his younger sister had become the darling of the four major families, cherished and pampered!
If even a single hair on her head is harmed, he will make those people and their entire families pay with their lives!
The veins on Li Shaochuan's hands bulged, and his eyes revealed a murderous intent.
"This can't be investigated in a short time. The other party is very cautious and secretive! I suspect they have a powerful background."
He couldn't find a single clue... He had never met anyone like this before.
So this person is a very capable individual, and he's kept it extremely well hidden!
"That area is equipped with omnidirectional cameras, right? Send me the surveillance footage, I want to see it myself."
Li Shaochuan rubbed his temples, wondering who on earth would want to hunt down a weak woman who couldn't even kill a chicken.
Sending such a large group of people is incredibly cruel! They clearly intend for her to die. How ruthless!
Fortunately, he had people secretly install all-around cameras in many areas of B City that did not have cameras. Perhaps he will have clues after watching the surveillance footage?
"Yes, boss! I'll transfer him right away!"
Hearing Li Shaochuan's tone soften, he breathed a sigh of relief; he was terrified of Li Shaochuan's anger.
He could hear something breaking on the phone just now.
Li Shaochuan angrily hung up the phone and carelessly tossed it aside.
I wanted to call Lan Jingyan directly, but then I realized that he must be with Yan Xiluo right now. If he's with Yan Xiluo, he must be having dinner with his grandparents at his house.
He couldn't let his grandparents know that Yan Xiluo was being hunted down; he was afraid their hearts wouldn't be able to take it.
Li Family Villa
"Jingyan, Luoluo, eat more vegetables. Oh, and Ranran too."
Si Yaqin smiled and served them food.
"Thank you, Grandma."
Since becoming Yan Xiluo's fiancé, Lan Jingyan has become somewhat reserved in front of these elders.
They no longer have the same easygoing feel they had when they were brothers, Li Shaochuan and Yan Yuze.
"Oh, we're family, no need to thank me! But you, you went to so much trouble to prepare so many gifts this time, you've gone to so much expense!"
Seeing that Lan Jingyan looked a little tense, Si Yaqin wanted to lighten the mood.
"It didn't cost much. These are all my grandparents' treasured items. I just took some from their collection. They were all chosen by my grandparents according to your preferences."
For the Lan family, gifts for important people must be selected from the Lan family's treasure vault and cannot be chosen casually; this is a family rule.
Yan Xiluo's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she swallowed hard.
He started exchanging glances with Lan Jingyan.
Yan Xiluo: Are you sure there's no Versailles?
Lan Jingyan: Do I look like one?
Yan Xiluo: ...
"Hehehe, Ah Kun and Ah Ling are so thoughtful! Your grandfather and I will definitely like it!"
From Lan Jingyan's words, she knew the Lan family's attitude towards Yan Xiluo—they valued her highly!
