"Are you sure she didn't say anything to my grandma?"

"She said she wanted the old lady to do a DNA test, but she didn't agree. She received a phone call and left. She didn't stay in the ward for more than five minutes..."

Jiang Zhi always felt something was wrong.

"Has my grandma's ward been cleaned up?"

"It hasn't been cleaned up yet."

She decided to go to Grandma Jiang's room to check it out herself.

When he opened the door, Jiang Zhi smelled a strong scent of gardenia.

The door was open just now, so the smell was not obvious.

But at this moment, the air hit me in the face, and the smell was particularly strong.

The old lady is allergic to pollen.

But few people know about this.

Apart from the few maids who have worked in the Jiang family for many years and take care of the old lady's daily life, no one else has disclosed it.

How did Lin Xin know?

"Did anyone send flowers to grandma?"

"Miss Jiang, the house hasn't been tidied yet, and the old lady didn't receive any flowers today, but..." When Jiang Zhi asked this, the nurse suddenly remembered something, "When Lin Xinjin came, she had a strong perfume on her body. I could smell it even from where I was standing. She even wore gloves when she came. I was surprised at the time that gloves were needed in this weather."

The nurse was standing by the window.

And this ward is very large.

It's half the distance from the bed.

Even at a distance, she could still smell the strong scent of gardenia. Since her grandma was so close to her, the scent should be even stronger.

Jiang Zhi frowned.

This is almost seven hours.

What kind of perfume can last so long?

And she was wearing gloves.

The river city in autumn is not as cold as the north.

A chill surged in Jiang Zhi's heart.

The room was dim, with only the night light on the bedside emitting a faint glow. Jiang Zhi opened the curtains and turned on the light. At this time, the source of the gardenia could not be found in the room.

But that fragrance is always there.

It lingers at the tip of my nose and won't go away at all.

It is certain that the gardenia is in the house.

Shang Yanjing stood there, his eyes scanning the entire room.

Suddenly, I saw a crumpled piece of paper on the edge of the bed.

He walked over and picked up the note on the ground.

The paper was a little damp.

Above, the fragrance of the gardenia is too strong.

You can smell it clearly just by holding it in your hand.

"I cleaned the old lady's room early in the morning, how come there is a paper ball? This... there is no paper in the old lady's room at all."

"Yes, this morning, I carefully checked every corner of the ward to make sure nothing was left out. On weekdays, there was no extra paper in the room except for the old lady's daily necessities. Where did this ball of paper come from?"

The person who spoke was the maid who had taken care of the old lady for many years. She was responsible for her daily food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhi was stunned for a few seconds.

Then, with a cold look in her eyes, she walked over, took the note from Shang Yanjing and put it to her nose to smell it.

Sure enough, I smelled the scent of gardenia.

This fragrance comes from this note.

Jiang Zhi subconsciously pinched the piece of paper.

But from this note alone, there is no other direct evidence that Lin Xin did it.

Standing in the dim corner, light and shadow enveloped her pale profile, and she looked cold all over.

Shang Yanjing stood beside her, watching her clench her fists and hold the piece of paper tightly.

"do you need my help?"

Jiang Zhi raised her eyes, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

"If you want, I can make her pay."

According to current speculation, the gardenia on the paper was the direct cause of my grandmother's sudden deterioration of her condition and her eventual death.

However, there was no surveillance in the ward, and Lin Xin was wearing gloves when he came in with the paper.

There were no fingerprints on it either.

Besides, these are just her inferences and there is no evidence.

How could he convict Lin Xin based solely on his own one-sided statement? She had a hundred excuses.

"Shang Yanjing, if we force her to confess, do you think she will?"

"If you want, I can make her admit it."

Jiang Zhi's eyes, which were always clear and bright, were now pitch black, without a single ray of light entering.

Her cold smile was a smile that Shang Yanjing had never seen before.

"There are many ways to make her suffer, not just through legal means."

Jiang Zhi's voice was low and firm.

She knew that the truth might never be revealed through legal channels, or it might take too long.

But she doesn't have that much time to wait for the result.

Shang Yanjing looked at her, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

In my memory, she is still that bright and cheerful girl, and there shouldn't be a trace of darkness on her hands.

"Whatever you want, I'll do it." Shang Yanjing's voice was low and came to his face.

He suddenly stretched out his arms and forcefully locked Jiang Zhi in his arms. His chin rested on her forehead. In the dim light, his brows were deep. "I promised your grandma that I would protect you well."

Jiang Zhi did not answer directly. Her heart trembled and she pushed his arms away.

"Shang Yanjing, if one day you discover that this is not what you were looking for..."

The phone in Shang Yanjing's pocket rang.

The man hung up the phone.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. Anyway, don't be so nice to me."

Shang Yanjing is not worth taking the TOEFL.

He is not someone who can easily exchange secrets.

She said nothing, turned around, and looked through the window of the ward at the night outside. It was dreary and desolate.

Too bleak.

The man looked at the woman's back, his eyes gradually darkening.

……

The seventh day after the old lady's death.

In the seven days since his death, in Jiangcheng, everything this person had in the world disappeared without a trace.

And on this day.

Jiang Zhi once again topped the hot search list.

——The biological daughter of the late Jiang Dahai was revealed.

———It turns out that the good man image is all fake.

————The eldest daughter of the Jiang family has a younger sister.

———Oh my god! This is amazing!

Jiang Zhi was informed of the news in front of the old lady's grave.

"That Lin Xin is holding a press conference right now. This woman is truly vicious. Doesn't she know what day it is today? What's with all the talk about recognizing her ancestry? The old lady hasn't even acknowledged her identity."

Jiang Zhi became more and more active as he watched the news.

At this time, Lin Xin even said during the live broadcast that he wanted to verify the DNA live.

"This woman, relying on the media, can actually say such things. The DNA must be a match. She must want... What should I do?"

Now the old lady has passed away.

No one can threaten Lin Xin.

She naturally began to act recklessly.

"Contacting her means I am willing to take a DNA test with her daughter in front of the media."
