Chapter 177 Covert Struggle



Seeing that Luo Yan had more chocolates than her, An Xiaotong realized she couldn't compete, so she grabbed the hem of her princess dress and spun around in place, asking Luo Yan a question.

"Look, isn't it beautiful? Do you have one?"

For someone who has seen all the splendor of the future, Luo Yan had no intention of engaging in childish and pointless comparisons, but since Xiang Yu was so disgusting, she certainly couldn't let him get away with it.

Luo Yan took out the hero badge from her handbag and pinned it to her chest. Immediately, all the children who had praised An Xiaotong's dress, including An Xiaotong, fell silent.

Xiao Xiu added at the right moment, "Serving the people and contributing to the country is the most beautiful thing. No matter how pretty you are, it can't compare. Besides, my Yan Yan looks good even without wearing pretty dresses."

Before she could even enjoy the admiration of the other children, An Xiaotong suddenly lost the right to even be compared to Luo Yan, and she began to sob.

Luo Yan noticed that An Xiaotong must have been instructed by someone. She was no longer a child who would open her mouth and wail loudly when she was unhappy. Instead, she silently shed tears like a little white flower, her grievances revealing her fragility. Her bright, innocent eyes looked at Xiao Xiu, truly a sight to behold.

This kind of tactic was too low-level for someone as experienced as her, so Luo Yan left immediately, and Xiao Xiu quickly followed.

"Brother Xiaoxiu..." An Xiaotong called out to Xiaoxiu plaintively, which gave Luo Yan goosebumps.

Even if Xiang Yu wanted to disgust people, she shouldn't have taught her child such disgusting tricks. Isn't that ruining the child?

Luo Yan stopped and turned around, running her fingers across her face. "Shame on you, shame on you."

This attitude is not beautiful at all; it's ugly and shameful. This is the last thing the nation's future generations need.

The children around them also started to feel embarrassed. Although they didn't understand why Luo Yan said An Xiaotong was embarrassing, they knew that a hero and role model couldn't be wrong. A hero and role model would say that something embarrassing must be too ashamed to show its face.

Suddenly, the other children stopped envying her chocolates and pretty dresses, and An Xiaotong completely broke down, bursting into tears and running away.

Luo Yan was satisfied with the result. She used her handbag as a cover to take out White Rabbit candies from her storage space and gave one to each child.

Support domestic brands from the very beginning. When they grow up, we don't need to know how difficult it is to build domestic brands. At least it will provide more job opportunities for Chinese people, which is good.

The rich milky flavor of milk candy is easier for children to accept than the bitterness of chocolate, and the children happily ran into the classroom with candy in hand.

It's easy to defeat a child with material things, but unfortunately, Xiang Yu was up against Luo Yan, and her scheme could only fail.

After a day, An Xiaotong stopped jumping around in front of Luo Yan, and Luo Yan was happy to have some peace and quiet. However, her parents hadn't come back yet, and she missed her mother a little.

When Luo Yan saw the person who came to pick up An Xiaotong after school, she almost broke down in tears.

Tang Guizhi actually came to Jiangcheng, and even came to pick up An Xiaotong as An Xiaotong's aunt. Meanwhile, An Xiaotong's parents, whom Tang Guizhi had reported, were still nowhere to be found.

Following Luo Yan's gaze, Aunt Shi saw Tang Guizhi leaving hand in hand with An Xiaotong, and affectionately patted Luo Yan's head.

"Don't worry, Yan Yan, Mommy and Daddy will be alright."

She knew her parents would be alright, but the longing was uncontrollable.

“Mom…” A child who can’t see her mother doesn’t need to be too obedient. She should cry when she needs to, otherwise, wouldn’t she, the victim who was almost beaten to death by Tang Guizhi, have suffered in vain?

Luo Yan pointed at Tang Guizhi's retreating figure, holding An Xiaotong's hand, and cried even harder. No matter how Aunt Shi tried to comfort her, she couldn't.

Luo Yan was still crying when they returned to the East Courtyard, crying and asking for her mother and father.

The crying startled two uniformed guests sitting in the living room, but Sun Bailing didn't care what they thought. She got up and quickly walked over to take Luo Yan from Aunt Shi's hands.

When Luo Yan saw the visitor, she guessed the visitor's purpose and buried her face in Sun Bailing's arms, crying even harder.

Sun Bailing held Luo Yan and paced back and forth in the living room, trying to comfort her.

Luo Yan felt that it was about time, and her crying gradually stopped.

Sun Bailing carried Luo Yan back to the sofa and said to her.

"Yanyan, tell your uncles, how did you meet Aunt Xiang before?"

It's likely that the other party has already checked and knows that Zhang Jue drove her there; Luo Yan didn't deny it.

"Uncle Zhang."

"Then why did you go to the guesthouse and stay in Xiang Yu's room?" Fang Wuxu asked Luo Yan with a stern face.

Luo Yan looked bewildered. "Uncle Zhang."

Fang Wuxu was somewhat impatient that the investigators had come to question a baby who couldn't even speak clearly.

"I'm asking you, why did you leave Zhang Jue behind and go to see Xiang Yu alone?"

Lin Yongchao, who was about to question Luo Yan, stopped the impetuous Fang Wuxu and asked Luo Yan in a gentle manner.

"Little Yan Yan, why did you refuse Uncle Zhang and go to find your Aunt Xiang instead?"

Luo Yan blinked, opened her handbag, took out a paper airplane, and handed it to Lin Yongchao.

Lin Yongchao took it and found words on it. He opened it and saw that the paper said C4H7Cl2O4P.

"What is this?" Lin Yongchao was completely confused.

Fang Wuxu leaned over and glanced at him, his impatience instantly replaced by astonishment.

"This is the chemical formula for dichlorvos. Pure dichlorvos has a faint aromatic smell and is colorless..."

Fang Wuxu and Lin Yongchao exchanged a glance, simultaneously thinking of the poisoning cases that Zhang Jue was in charge of.

Lin Yongchao excitedly asked Luo Yan, "Did you find this paper in Xiang Yu's room?"

Lin Yongchao was right about that; Luo Yan did take a few blank sheets of paper left over from filling out the factory construction application in Xiang Yu's room.

When she smelled the faint fragrance on the fish that Dr. Li had given to Yin Huaiying, she immediately thought of the six bandits who died of poisoning after being taken to the hospital on the train, as well as the deaths of Old Lady Shen and Li Mingzhu in Beijing. She then imitated Dr. Li's handwriting and wrote down the chemical formula.

She wasn't sure if anyone would ask her for a statement, but she was just doing it in case, and unexpectedly, it actually came in handy.

Luo Yan had seen Dr. Li's handwriting before when Dr. Li had treated her, but her skills were limited and her imitation was not very realistic. However, this could be interpreted as Dr. Li trying to cover up the truth.

Fang Wuxu asked Luo Yan, "Why did your Aunt Tang hit you?"

Luo Shicheng explained that he beat Tang Guizhi because his daughter Luo Yan's life was threatened, and Tang Guizhi was the one who attacked his daughter. Therefore, he beat Tang Guizhi to protect his daughter.

Not only could Xiang Yu testify to this matter, but Tang Guizhi also admitted it because Xiang Yu did not cover it up. However, they did not expect Luo Yan to understand the question; they were just asking on a whim.

Luo Yan pointed to the paper with chemical formulas written on it. Anyone can frame someone. Xiang Yu and Tang Guizhi dared to frame her father, so she had to return the favor.

Tang Guizhi never gave a direct explanation for why she beat Luo Yan, while Luo Yan's explanation was quite sufficient.

If Xiang Yu or Tang Guizhi were involved in the murder, and the child mischievously folded the paper containing the evidence, it's possible that he became enraged and decided to kill them.

"Thank you, Yan Yan, for providing the clue."

Lin Yongchao politely took Luo Yan's hand and shook it.
