He unconsciously clenched his fist. "From now on, I will no longer be the person I used to be. I will definitely transform myself and work hard to achieve something that you and my cousin's wife can see!"
Hearing this, Chi Yan didn't feel relieved at all. Instead, she pulled him over with a serious expression and said, "Tell me honestly, did you secretly join some cult behind my back?"
No wonder he was suspicious; this line of reasoning sounded just like someone who had been successfully brainwashed!
Feng Zhiwen: "..."
——
Hearing a noise at the door, Shen Tangning looked up and saw Chi Yan: "You're back."
Chi Yan, with his hands behind his back, walked around to the front of her and looked her up and down. She was a little puzzled by his gaze and couldn't help but chuckle: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
He sat down opposite her, his expression hesitant: "What did you say to Feng Zhiwen? Why is he acting so strangely?"
Shen Tangning suddenly realized that this was what it was all about.
She calmly raised her eyes: "Compared to his previous lifelessness, isn't he better looking now?"
"It's good, but I still feel uneasy..." He touched his chin, his eyes filled with conflict.
It's not necessarily a good thing for a person to experience such dramatic emotional ups and downs in such a short period of time.
"Don't worry, I won't harm him. I'll just let him gain some experience." Shen Tangning smiled. In fact, if Feng Zhiwen hadn't come to her, she wouldn't have had this plan.
Chi Yan looked helpless: "That's not what I'm worried about. Oh well, everyone has their own destiny!"
She smiled and changed the subject: "How's everything going on your end?"
“Speaking of this…” Chi Yan’s expression turned serious. “I’ve discovered something interesting.”
He recounted his discoveries of the day, and Shen Tangning's previously nonchalant expression subtly changed. She pondered for a long time: "Do you think this matter might be unrelated to the Fourth Prince? Although the Third Prince is dead, he must still have many former subordinates. Could it be that these people did it?"
She had indeed thought the same thing as me.
Chi Yan sighed inwardly. When he first discovered that the Third Prince was in charge of the case, he felt something was amiss.
After Tang Ning reminded the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince sent people to secretly watch the Fourth Prince's every move, but they did not find anything unusual about him.
It was precisely because they had always focused their suspicions on the fourth prince that they made a crucial oversight, leading to the events that followed.
"To be honest, I had the same idea."
Shen Tangning frowned, then suddenly remembered something: "By the way, have you found Jiang Qingyue's whereabouts?"
After the Feng family's incident, Jiang Qingyue seemed to vanish into thin air, disappearing directly from Baiyun Temple. But she didn't go back to her own home either, so where could she have gone?
Without a travel permit and penniless, how could a vulnerable woman survive?
This was clearly not right, but the Jiang family didn't care about Jiang Qingyue's life or death. They reported the matter to the authorities perfunctorily and didn't pay much attention to the progress.
Suspecting that the other party might be in cahoots with the mastermind, she always felt that Jiang Qingyue might be a breakthrough.
Unfortunately, they haven't found Jiang Qingyue's whereabouts yet.
But soon, Chi Yan received a message and hurriedly left the mansion—
Someone went to the pharmacy today to get medicine for treating external injuries, and that person was none other than Chi Jingyu's servant.
