I failed again

When Lin Ze returned home, the doctor had not left yet. After briefly reporting Si Heng's physical condition to Lin Ze, Lin Ze directly asked him to stay in the manor and take care of Si Heng's health.

After giving the order, Lin Ze originally planned to go back to his room directly, but for some unknown reason, Lin Ze walked to the door of Si Heng's room.

As soon as Lin Ze put his hand on the door handle, he saw the person he sent to investigate yesterday's wedding banquet hurried over.

Lin Ze put down his hand and said to the visitor, "Let's talk in the study."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the study.

In the study, Lin Ze sat at the desk, listening to his subordinates talking about what they had investigated.

"The glass of wine yesterday was definitely not made by Mr. Si. To be precise, that glass of wine was meant for Mr. Si." The subordinate said, "But I didn't expect that you would drink that glass of wine."

"Are you targeting Si Heng?" Lin Ze asked in confusion. Who did Si Heng offend that made that person do these little tricks on the Qin family's territory without caring about anything?

On second thought, Lin Ze felt that something was wrong. He had never brought Si Heng into this circle before. Si Heng probably didn't know anyone who attended the wedding banquet yesterday, so how could he have offended anyone?

"Yes." The subordinate replied, "We found several suspicious people when we were investigating. After arresting and interrogating them, they said that someone hired them and arranged them to sneak into the Qin family as waiters, and asked them to drug Mr. Si and kill Mr. Si..."

The subordinate didn't say the rest of the words, but Lin Ze knew what it was, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

Even if he didn't like Si Heng and blamed Si Heng's existence for preventing him from being with Youyan, no matter what, Si Heng was now married to him and was also known as Mrs. Lin. If they had really succeeded in getting Si Heng yesterday, not only would he have become a laughing stock in the upper class, but the Lin family would also have lost face.

Moreover, if something like that really happened at the Qin family's wedding banquet, public opinion would implicate the Qin family, and there would be trouble with the Qin family.

"Who hired them?" Lin Ze asked coldly. Somehow, Lin Ze suddenly imagined in his mind Si Heng lying under someone else with a flushed face after being drugged, and his mood became even worse.

The subordinate looked at Lin Ze cautiously before replying in a low voice, "Yes... yes... it's Young Master Xia."

"What?" Lin Ze suspected that he had heard it wrong, and asked uncertainly, "Who did you just say?"

The subordinate wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "Master Xia hired them. And..."

The subordinate closed his eyes and said in one breath, "Moreover, the person who arranged for them to enter the Qin family as waiters and provide cover for them was Second Master Lin."

"At that time, Master Lin was ready to take the old lady and the guests to catch the adulterer, but he gave up after he knew it was you."

Lin Ze didn't really listen to what his subordinates said afterwards. His mind was full of Xia Youyan hiring someone to drug Si Heng in order to destroy Si Heng.

Why did Youyan do this? He has always been kind, how could he do such a thing?

"Are you sure you didn't check it wrong?" Lin Ze looked at his men with a cold gaze and questioned.

"No, sir, if you don't believe me, you can ask someone from the Qin family. They were investigating it with me at the time." The subordinates also knew that Lin Ze would not be able to accept the fact that Xia Youyan had instructed this matter for a while.

But this is the fact, and Lin Ze has no choice but to accept it no matter how much he can't accept it.
