She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

If Lin Qingran's goal was to avenge her father, whom she had never met, then she should have gone to find Shen Pei'an. What did this have to do with Zhou Lan?

Lin Beicheng's death was never Zhou Lan's weakness.

If there's anything in this whole incident that Lin Qingran could use as leverage against, it's only the matter of fighting for the Lin Group back then.

However, the Lin Group is currently being managed by Shen Pei-an.

Although Zhou Lan also disliked Shen Pei'an and wanted to take power back from him at all times, when they encountered bad people, the two of them would definitely stick together.

As long as the two of them stand united against external threats, what kind of trouble can Lin Qingran stir up?

"Let's tell the master," Zhou Lan said.

"This is something he's best at."

"Absolutely not!" Aunt Liu quickly stopped her.

She lowered her voice, "I know what you're thinking. After all, the only truly sealed mouth in this world is that of a dead person."

Zhou Lan glanced at Liu Ma, "You truly are someone who has been with me for half my life; you know exactly what I'm thinking. But since you've said so, why are you still trying to stop me?"

Aunt Liu sighed and said.

“Last time, when you had the master send those thugs to snatch the samples from the mother and daughter, it already caught her attention. Now that the young lady has gone to follow her, she is naturally on guard. If the master makes a move again at this time, she will definitely hold on tight. The young lady and Mr. Fu’s marriage is about to take place, and we can’t afford any more changes at this time. In any case, these things can’t be investigated in a short time, so we’re not in a hurry. Let’s wait until the two of them are married before we talk about it.”

Once the deed is done, it won't be easy for the Fu family to shake them off.

Most importantly, once the two families are united, even if it's for the Fu family's own benefit, they will inevitably be unable to shirk their responsibilities.

At that time, we can use them to either get rid of Lin Qingran or banish her overseas.

The best outcome would be if Lin Qingran could keep her mouth shut and not cause any trouble, and it would also save Zhou Lan's own hands from getting dirty.

Zhou Lan pondered for a while before accepting Liu Ma's suggestion.

"Okay, let's put it down for now."

"However, Madam, you should send someone to bring Miss back as soon as possible," said Liu Ma.

Zhou Lan originally intended to stop Lin Qingran, but Shen Qiyan intervened in every way, so Zhou Lan couldn't do anything.

Anyway, Lin Yuyan has Shen Qiyan's people around her. Shen Qiyan isn't such a clueless person. When it comes to things that might affect his own interests, he won't let Lin Yuyan do whatever she wants.

However, now that Lin Qingran has discovered everything, if Lin Yuyan does something now, or if Lin Qingran "fulfills her promise" and turns the tables, then Lin Yuyan will have no way to escape.

Zhou Lan immediately called the housekeeper and told him to send people as soon as possible, no matter what method they had to use, to bring Lin Yuyan back.

As for Lin Qingran, she had long since stopped thinking about Lin Yuyan.

Zhou Lan has always valued her own interests, so since she called Zhou Lan, Zhou Lan couldn't possibly ignore it.

Lin Yuyan naturally had no chance to do anything, so Lin Qingran could rest easy.

But Lin Qingran still cared about other things.

"Have you managed to find out who sent me those text messages back then?"

On the day Lin Qingran had a difficult childbirth, she received an anonymous text message.

The text message told Lin Qingran to go to the Lin family home, and to avoid everyone's sight, go straight to the basement to find Zhou Lan, otherwise Zhou Lan's life would be in danger.

Lin Qingran still cared about Zhou Lan back then. When she saw the text message that person sent, she didn't care whether it was true or false. She had to go back and check if Zhou Lan was safe.

After searching around, they found that Zhou Lan was paying respects to Lin Beicheng.

When she left heartbroken, she originally intended to never have anything to do with that group of people again.

Moreover, because her body was severely damaged during childbirth, Lin Qingran spent almost half a year recuperating, so she didn't immediately investigate who sent the anonymous text message.

If it weren't for Fu Xiuheng's persistent harassment and the trouble he caused her, Lin Qingran would never have thought of having someone investigate who was hiding behind the scenes.

“That phone number from back then has been cancelled, but we can still find out who the original owner of the number was,” Xiao Zhou said.

"It's a woman named Li Yingying, registered in Beijing. I checked her information; she's a local Beijing resident and has been working at an information service company since graduating from university. She's only twenty-five years old, lives with her boyfriend, and I heard they're getting married soon. She doesn't have much of a social life; her life is basically just going between home and work. Mr. Jiang, do you know her?"

Lin Qingran looked at the photo of Li Yingying that Xiao Zhou had found out and shook her head.

"never seen it."

This girl looked ordinary, the kind you'd easily lose in a crowd. If she were someone Lin Qingran had only met a few times, Lin Qingran really wouldn't remember her.

"Does her work have any connection with the Lin family?"

“That’s the strange thing. I checked her life and work, and there’s nothing about her having any connection with the Lin family.” Xiao Zhou shook his head.

"What about the people around her? Have you investigated them?" Lin Qingran asked.

"Her parents are ordinary working-class people who work in a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant invested by a foreign company in the suburbs of Beijing. Her boyfriend is her colleague. Neither of her parents are locals, and they have no relatives in Beijing. They only go back home once every few years and don't have much contact with their families."

“Go and find out about her boyfriend,” Lin Qingran said.

What young person doesn't care about their family? Besides, transportation is so convenient now. It's one thing if they don't go home on ordinary holidays, but if they don't go home for the New Year and don't even keep in touch much, I always feel there's something wrong.

Xiao Zhou agreed and got up to leave.

Lin Qingran glanced at Lingdang, who had fallen asleep on the bed after playing for a while, and slowly frowned.

After thinking it over, she called Bo Ye and asked him to come over.

"Change the meeting place with Lu Ziming. Have him transfer directly at the airport tomorrow to Yuncheng, and meet him at the manor."

"We're not meeting in Haicheng anymore?" Bo Ye asked, puzzled.

"Although Lu Ziming is down on his luck, he still values ​​his reputation. If we don't act formally, I'm afraid he won't be sincere in cooperating with us."

“We’re already surrounded by enemies. Even if we go outside, Lin Yuyan will definitely find a way to follow us.”

Besides, Lin Yuyan was only severely restricted, not kicked out of her home.

At least there's Shen Qiyan; he'll definitely protect his precious little sister.

If Lin Yuyan insisted on finding a way to sneak over and see them so formally meeting a guest, she would definitely try her best to follow them.

It would be better to take advantage of Lin Yuyan's current presence in Haicheng and move Lu Ziming away directly.

First, protect the person. Then, even if Lin Yuyan wanted to spy on her, she wouldn't be able to enter the manor.
