Five minutes isn't enough time for her to take a shower; she wants to soak in the bath...
"Okay, shall I go to the study?"
Lan Jingyan consciously wanted to give way, afraid that she would disrupt their conversation.
“Let’s go together. We can’t let Jiayi come to our room to talk, can we? Besides, you’re not an outsider. You don’t need to deliberately avoid our conversation.”
Yan Xiluo could see through Lan Jingyan's thoughts, but she felt that Lan Jingyan didn't need to avoid it.
"Yes, I was just worried that I might be bothering you."
This was also his true feeling. Although he really wanted to participate and help Yan Xiluo in some way, he chose to respect her wishes.
"No, let's go."
Yan Xiluo gently pinched his cheek, intertwined her fingers with his, and pulled him out together.
"good."
Lan Jingyan nodded, flattered, and followed her.

Five minutes later
Pang Jiayi received the exact location sent by Yan Xiluo and immediately arrived at the study.
"Boss, Boss Lan."
Pang Jiayi greeted them as soon as he arrived.
"Um."
Lan Jingyan responded softly.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Yan Xiluo, on the other hand, went straight to the point.
"Actually, someone wanted to kill Uncle Quan. I was too far away to hear what they were saying, but when I got closer, I heard Uncle Quan say, 'You don't need to do it, I'll jump myself.' Then Uncle Quan jumped into the river..."
He only saw the two talking. Bai Jingquan became very agitated afterward, and only after finding cover and getting closer did he hear Bai Jingquan calmly say that he would jump down himself...
"When the man saw that the water was no longer struggling and there was no one around, he immediately drove away. I quickly jumped into the river and rescued Uncle Quan. Later, after Uncle Quan woke up, I asked him why he jumped into the river, but he refused to say. But I knew that man would not let it go and would not be at ease until he saw Uncle Quan buried."
He just watched Bai Jingquan jump down... He didn't arrest the man at the time because he wanted to know what they were up to, whether there was some secret behind it. He wanted to save Bai Jingquan first and then investigate the matter later.
"So... after my persuasion, Uncle Quan agreed to live on, so I gave him the elixir of life to fake his death and told him that I would definitely dig him up and bring him back to life in three days. After that, they kept vigil for three days and three nights before the burial. Originally, Uncle Quan wanted to go home and take Aunt Quan away to live a good life, but he didn't expect that Aunt Quan had already sold off all the family property and returned to her parents' home..."
The Elixir of Feigned Death can make someone appear dead for seven days, without food or water, but they must take the Resurrection Pill within seven days to be revived; otherwise, they will truly die... they will starve to death...
"I'm sorry, boss. I shouldn't have used the 'fake death elixir' without permission."
Pang Jiayi committed a grave mistake by using medication without her permission... but at the time he was truly desperate to save lives, and Bai Jingquan absolutely refused to let Bai Ling and Yan Yinran know about her...
Why weren't you told about this back then?
Yan Xiluo didn't blame him for misusing drugs, and besides, why didn't he tell her about such a serious matter? She felt at the time that Bai Jingquan's death was too coincidental...
"Uncle Quan told me not to say, saying he didn't want Bai Ling and Yan Yinran to know he was still alive... I don't know the reason either, but Uncle Quan was very kind to me when I was a child, so I saved him."
If Bai Ling hadn't seen him today, he might have continued to keep Bai Jingquan's secret.
Now that Yan Xiluo knows, he will definitely have to tell her what happened.
"There's something fishy about this. Go back to City A in a couple of days and take me to see Bai Jingquan. I need to find out why he obediently jumped into the river!"
She felt something was wrong about this matter no matter how she thought about it, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
“Okay, Uncle Quan will stay at my house. I’ll take you there directly.”
Hearing that Yan Xiluo didn't blame him, Pang Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, everything's fine now, Jiayi, you can go back and rest."
He roughly understood the situation, so he had no choice but to let him go back first.
"Okay, then I'll be going."
Yan Xiluo nodded in acknowledgment, and Pang Jiayi immediately disappeared from their sight, not daring to disturb Yan Xiluo and Lan Jingyan.
"This is too strange... It makes me increasingly suspicious about the fact that we were switched at birth! Someone definitely did it on purpose. Ranran had just returned home when Bai Jingquan had his accident. Only if he died could Ranran be rightfully brought back to the Yan family... What exactly threatened Bai Jingquan? Did he jump so that Ranran could have a better life?"
She's starting to have growing suspicions about something... but she can't figure out who would have a motive for the crime...
"It's not impossible, but we can't draw any conclusions too early. We'll have to see what he has to say when we meet him."
There might not be just one reason; there could be countless unexpected ones...
"If it was really for Ranran's sake, then who was the one who made Bai Jingquan jump into the river? Is Ranran really a child of the Bai family? If Ranran is a child of the Bai family, then... what right does that person have to threaten Bai Jingquan? This doesn't make sense!"
Yan Xiluo quickly sorted out her thoughts, feeling that there were many suspicious points.
“Something is definitely not right. After questioning Bai Jingquan, we still need to continue the investigation. If it’s as you think, then someone is playing a very big game behind this.”
Lan Jingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she wanted to stare through the opposite wall...
"I'll go back the day after tomorrow! After all, I've only just arrived here, and leaving again would put Director Liu in a difficult position."
The production team had already been delayed for a long time, and she couldn't afford to hold them back any further.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Lan Jingyan nodded slightly and put his arm around her shoulder.
"good."
Yan Xiluo did not refuse.

Yijia Villa
"Hehehe, it's rare that we can sleep together again. Luckily, your Youting didn't refuse. He's quite generous!"
After having dinner at the Yan family's house today, Yi Luhua kept insisting that Li Shuwen come over to sleep with her.
Yan Youting didn't refuse, after all, the two sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time and needed to catch up.
"How could he dare refuse? He's always been very accommodating to me. Besides, we've had such a good relationship for over forty years! Our bond is much stronger than his!"
What Li Shuwen really meant was that Yan Youting had always doted on her and treated her the same way.
"Hey! I don't dare say that, I'm afraid Ting won't let you play with me next time."
She wouldn't dare to speak carelessly. Yan Youting was quite the domineering CEO when he was young. If he got jealous and wouldn't let Li Shuwen come and keep her company, that would be troublesome!
She finally managed to come back!
"He wouldn't dare, don't worry!"
Li Shuwen said with a smile, "Who doesn't know that Yi Luhua was a fiery girl when she was young? She would fire at anyone and argue with everyone!"
"Come on, try this red wine. I just brought it back from a winery abroad."
Yi Luhua skillfully picked up the wine opener, took out a bottle of fine red wine from the wine cabinet, placed it on the table, opened it, and poured it into two stemmed glasses.
