After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium

The piano music continued at the table, and the woman would occasionally raise her eyes to look at the man sitting opposite her, his thoughts unclear. Sensing a sharp gaze, she hurriedly lowered her head, her cheeks tinged with a faint blush.

"Okay, okay, I won't play for now." Cang Yi's voice interrupted the sound of the piano, making the woman a little unhappy.

But when Xie Yin stood up, she stood aside obediently and then resumed her shy expression. Accompanied by a cool pine and cypress fragrance, the woman looked up at the figure passing by, her lips curled up, and a different thought arose in her mind.

Xie Yin had no idea what the woman was thinking, and he just walked out of the room with a calm face.

"Where are people?"

Cang Yi stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, and Xie Yin followed him in.

Light streamed down from the private room, illuminating it brilliantly. From the incense burner, lingering fruity fragrance drifted. Su Wan, dressed in coarse cloth, stood quietly, watching the people passing by the window.

"Bang!" The door opened.

Su Wan turned around and saw a pair of soap-colored boots stepping over the threshold, followed by a red figure walking in. Xie Yin was wearing a red neckpiece and a purple purse hanging from his black belt. The purse looked a little worn.

Xie Yin put his hands behind his back and shrugged his shoulders as he looked at Su Wan. Su Wan pursed her lips and smiled awkwardly, "Thank you, Chief, long time no see."

In the sunlight, Su Wan's eyes were as clear as water, like a clear spring. However, her face was a little dirty. Xie Yin raised his hand and pointed at his own face, indicating that there was a dust stain on her cheek. Seeing this, Su Wan hurriedly raised her hand and wiped it hard, wrinkling her little face. Then, her face became even dirtier.

Xie Yin smiled faintly. The look of the man in front of him reminded him of that jerk. But in an instant, he frowned.

Wait? When did he accept this boring name? Xie Yin coughed lightly and looked at Su Wan with feigned seriousness.

"Mrs. Zheng, you've really kept us waiting." He walked to the table and sat down with his legs spread out, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Su Wan narrowed her eyes and said softly, "Thank you, Chief Secretary, for keeping me waiting for a long time."

Xie Yin raised an eyebrow, looking at the woman before him with some surprise. She looked sweet, but her actions were truly terrifying. She had embarrassed the Duke's Mansion and eliminated those close to Qin. Of course, the cruelty of that family wasn't anything to lament. He simply felt that this woman, who appeared gentle, was so scheming. If she were a man, she would surely be a formidable opponent.

"Why? Madam, are you here today to catch an adulterer or to have some fun? Speaking of which, every time Madam does something big, I can't help but admire her."

Su Wan frowned. This guy couldn't even spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Did he think everyone was like him? However, at this point, Xie Yin was the only one who could help her. One had to bow down under someone else's eaves, so she couldn't be as sharp-tongued as before.

Su Wan laughed dryly, "What are you talking about, Chief Xie? My people were taken away by the owner of the shop next to Mingxiangxuan. I followed his footsteps and unexpectedly found myself here."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yin immediately looked at Cang Yi, who shook his shoulders in confusion. However, he immediately realized that it must be Xiao Yucheng who was causing trouble. Xie Yin then gave Cang Yi a look, and Cang Yi walked out with understanding.

Su Wan saw this and thought, it seemed Xie Yin hadn't known before, but now he had guessed who was behind it. But then she thought of his puzzled expression. Could it be that the shop was related to him? Seeing his eyes turn to her, Su Wan quickly lowered her head and listened to the man in front of her say, "If I help Madam, how should you thank me?"

Su Wan smiled faintly, "I will naturally spare no effort to find what you want for you, Chief."

"This is our deal, are you kidding me?"

"No, no." Su Wan looked aggrieved. "You know I'm in a tough spot. How can I have that much leverage? How about this? I'll owe you the money first and repay you when I have the chance?"

The young woman's eyebrows curved, her voice sweet and pleasant. Xie Yin turned his head away, "That's a good idea. I hope Madam won't forget our agreement today." Perhaps when the time is right, he can use this agreement to get closer to the Su family.

"Next question. You haven't repaid me for our last transaction yet. I wonder if my wife has any news this time?"

Su Wan: "A few days ago, my father sent me a message to let me know that he was safe. I secretly sent someone to follow him, but I only know the direction he went."

"where?"

Su Wan hesitated, her eyes revealing uneasiness and guilt. After a moment of silence, she said, "Xibei. Can you help me save someone?"

For a moment, the atmosphere was quiet as Su Wan stood there, waiting for the man's response. However, Xie Yin, resting his hand on his forehead, stared at her silently, his handsome face unrecognizable as he tapped his fingers on the table. He was pondering the truth and falsehood of the woman's words.

"If I find Mr. Su, aren't you afraid that I will harm him?"

Hearing this, Su Wan suddenly looked up, her eyes showing fear, "Can you?"

Xie Yin raised an eyebrow, taking in the woman's gaze. He then listened to her continue, "What the Chief wants is just the military token. If my father helps you do this, can you..." Su Wan said anxiously, "Can you let him go? He just wants to live a carefree life and won't get in your way. The Chief must know that."

"Are you begging me?"

"Yes, I beg you."

Xie Yin's smile froze. He really didn't expect that the woman would lower her head so quickly. Where did her previous unwillingness to accept him go?

"The young lady in the past was not like this. You are so well-behaved now that I can hardly believe this news."

Su Wan's face was melancholic. She said frankly, "Who would be willing to betray their own people? It's just that everyone has weaknesses. If someone the Chief cares about were to encounter such a situation, what would you do? I didn't want to be at a disadvantage in my cooperation with you, but there are always exceptions."

Xie Yin paused, "A weak spot is the most useless thing. All it can do is stab you in the chest when you're caught between a rock and a hard place, leaving you in excruciating pain."

Hearing this, Su Wan slowly raised her eyes, meeting Xie Yin's deep, dark eyes. Those eyes were like the starry sky, vast and boundless, as if hiding endless secrets. Indeed, he was a mysterious person, unpredictable.

The Xie clan is a century-old family. Their rise followed the Lord's suppression of the southern clans. Xie Yin, a master of both military and literary skill, could have relied on his distinguished family background to rise to prominence, much like Zheng Yanchen. Instead, he chose to take a different approach and stand against the powerful. Su Wan had no idea why, but if the Su family ever sided with the imperial family, would Xie Yin spare them?

"What Chief Xie said is true, but everyone is born with ties that no one can get rid of. Those who I can't let go of are the meaning of my life for the rest of my life."

Xie Yin lowered his eyes and chuckled softly. That smile was bitter, helpless, and self-deprecating.

Although Su Wan was a little puzzled, she didn't have time to think too much. Seeing that the man opposite her had relaxed his expression, she begged again: "Then can you agree to my request, Chief?" She looked at Xie Yin pitifully, her eyes as innocent and helpless as a wounded deer, which made people feel some pity for her.

Xie Yin was silent for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Okay."
