The Lin family's old house.

"Grandpa, I don't agree to this!"

Jiang Yan frowned in annoyance and said directly to Lin Zhenbiao, who was sitting opposite her, "I told you before, you shouldn't interfere with my marriage. Even if I want to hold a certain position, I don't need to rely on a woman to consolidate my strength. Besides, I have no interest in those things at all."

“Grandpa, although Jiang Yansen is in control of the Jiang family now, it’s because I don’t want to compete with him for anything. If I wanted to, it would definitely be mine.”

He spoke in a nonchalant tone, his tall frame lounging lazily on the sofa, a cigarette between his fingers, the smoke swirling around him as if veiling his handsome face in a thin mist.

Looking at his grandson, Lin Zhenbiao could sense the imposing aura behind every word he spoke.

He felt relieved, knowing that this was his most beloved grandson. He only had one daughter in his life, whom he cherished like a precious jewel.

However, since she was not born a man, she frequently encountered problems after marrying Jiang Jizhen.

Fortunately, Yan Hui came along, and he certainly didn't disappoint him.

This kid, when he speaks, his calmness and restraint reveal an innate domineering aura, just like I was back then.

"Yan Hui, why don't you just stop overthinking things?"

He had already made his stance clear, and Lin Zhenbiao understood Jiang Yanhui's personality, so he naturally wouldn't press her too hard. He said with a smile, "Grandpa isn't forcing you to meet anyone. It just so happens that your Uncle Nan's daughter is back early today. Didn't you have a good relationship with her when you were little? Consider this a welcome-back party for her. You should be there too, have a meal. Grandpa isn't forcing you to get engaged, so shouldn't you take a step back?"

Jiang Yan took a deep drag on her cigarette, squinted, and asked Lin Zhenbiao, "Really? It's just a meal, no engagement?"

"Really," Lin Zhenbiao assured him confidently.

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Alright, it's just a meal. I'll treat it as keeping your grandfather company."

"That's right."

Lin Zhenbiao was very happy. He got up and sat down next to Jiang Yanhui, laughing heartily. "Yanhui, your grandfather believes you can handle everything. As for your case, I've already sent someone to investigate. It's a bit tricky. It seems that everyone related to the case has disappeared into thin air. But if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Someone on my side saw that Jiang Yansen went to Jinzuo on the day the incident occurred."

Jiang Yan didn't seem too surprised. She reached out and flicked her cigarette ash. "I know this matter is most likely related to him, but there's one thing I don't understand. If he really did it, his so-called evidence is too weak. And I've noticed that he's becoming desperate. I sent people to find Blood Wolf to look for some evidence, but I didn't expect him to dare to attack even my people so openly. So I think this matter is not simple."

Lin Zhenbiao gave a cold snort and raised his eyebrows mysteriously, "Of course it's not simple, because none of you know that the person who appeared at Jinzuo that day was not just Jiang Yansen, but also another person."

"Who?"

“Yu Caiyi”

Lin Zhenbiao didn't keep anyone in suspense, but when he mentioned that woman, his face was full of disdain, and his tone was even more sarcastic, "If I'm not mistaken, it's another trouble caused by a woman. I've always said, what's the point of keeping those women around if they're of no help to me? They're more trouble than they're worth."

Jiang Yan was somewhat surprised this time; he hadn't expected it to be related to Caiyi.

So, thinking about it this way, it explains why Jiang Yansen ended up in such a sorry state.

He knew that although Jiang Yansen had many faults, he knew that he was sincere towards Caiyi when it came to the matter of Caiyi. He just wondered why Jiang Yansen was pushing all the blame onto himself.

He simply couldn't understand what connection Caiyi could possibly have with the deceased, especially since Caiyi wouldn't come looking for a way to frame him...

"...However, it seems that Yu Caiyi was sent away by Jiang Yansen. I don't know where he is now. I've already sent people out to look for him..."

Lin Zhenbiao was still talking when Jiang Yanhui suddenly remembered something, abruptly raised her head, and interrupted him, "Grandpa, what about their child? I mean Jiajia."

"Jiang Yansen sent his woman and child away together; they are not currently in City A."

Jiang Yan nodded thoughtfully, and before she could say anything more, the Lin family's butler came over with the phone, nodded slightly to Lin Zhenbiao, and said respectfully, "Master, it's Master Nan on the phone."

Lin Zhenbiao answered the phone cheerfully with a "hello," and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, he said, "...No problem, no problem, let's meet there tonight, okay, okay, Yan Hui? Yan Hui will definitely be coming too..."

Jiang Yan felt a little annoyed at the thought of going out to eat later. In fact, he didn't even remember that Uncle Nan's daughter, but his grandfather kept talking about it.

He then remembered that he had indeed seen that woman when he was probably a teenager.

Back then, the Jiang family hadn't run into trouble yet, so he would occasionally play with that little girl. But so many years had passed, and he had long forgotten about her. Now that she suddenly appeared, making it seem like a blind date, he didn't like it at all.

Seeing Lin Zhenbiao talking animatedly on the phone, Jiang Yanhui had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on. She figured her grandfather wouldn't give up so easily. He had only said those things to give her a way out, so she didn't push him too hard.

But once my grandfather made a decision, he always made sure it achieved its goal, and he had plenty of patience to deal with you during the process.

Feeling a bit of a headache, Jiang Yan got up and walked to the door. But another face involuntarily came to mind. He smiled slightly, took out his phone and dialed a number. The phone rang for a long time before being answered. The person answered in a very loud voice, "Hello."

Jiang Yan was a little annoyed and snorted, "I'm not doing anything wrong. What are you doing? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

Siyi was driving at the moment. The meeting place with Xia Ran was a hotel that was relatively close to Xia Ran's apartment. However, she rarely went to that area, so she was not familiar with the road and had been driving around in circles. She had already made several wrong turns.

Already feeling anxious, Jiang Yan's interrogative tone on the other end of the phone only made her more irritated. "Do I have to report to you what I do? Do you have something on your mind?"

"Ye Siyi! You weren't like this when you were begging me to be your defense lawyer. You woman, you change your mind faster than flipping through a book, don't you?" Jiang Yan's gritted teeth voice came through the phone to Siyi's ears.

For some reason, Siyi's originally irritable mood inexplicably improved a little. She curved her lips into a smile, but retorted without any politeness, "Young Master Yan, you only just found out? I'm just trying to make a living. Who told you to be so generous, Young Master Yan? You gave me three million in one go. Oh, by the way, remember not to forget to transfer the money to my account."

Jiang Yan was furious, but instead she laughed coldly, "Is that so? I never go to the bank, and I have a habit of paying people in cash, I never use a card. If Attorney Ye wants the three million, come to my apartment tonight to collect it."

Siyi is a smart woman, not so easily fooled. While holding the steering wheel and looking at the road signs, she casually played along with him, saying, "I have a quirk: I never accept cash. If you find it troublesome, you can have your subordinate transfer the money for you. It won't take you much time."

“Your agreement doesn’t state that cash is not accepted.”

"Young Master Yan, are you deliberately not going to pay? I haven't even helped you with the lawsuit yet. How can I work for you with this domineering attitude?"

"Hehe, how could I bear to let you risk your life for me, my darling? Even if you lose the case, I won't blame you. Whether you're inside or outside, it's just a different place to miss you."

Siyi heard him chuckle softly, and she could almost imagine the seductive and alluring expression on his face. When his deep voice reached her ears again, it carried an even more deadly quality. "And Sisi, I know you'll definitely come to see me every day. If I go to jail because of your mistake, you might remember me for the rest of your life. That would be great."

Siyi's heart trembled violently.

She didn't know how to describe the feeling; it was as if he had forcefully grabbed her heart.

It doesn't hurt, but the feeling is impossible to ignore.

Fortunately, they were talking over a phone, otherwise she knew she would blush uncontrollably again. Even if her heart was beating fast, he wouldn't see it. "Don't worry, I won't make a mistake like that. I said I would help you win, and I will."

"So, it was worth it for me to give three million."

He still spoke in that gentle tone, but his next words clearly carried a hint of coaxing, "So, darling, are you coming to collect the money tonight? I've prepared the cash for you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't accuse me of refusing to pay you later."

Siyi's smile deepened, carrying a sweetness she herself didn't even realize. Her tone was clearly coquettish, "Young Master Yan is really generous, but I've already said beforehand that if I go to collect the money myself, you'll have to cover my travel expenses."

“Baby, you don’t need to try so hard to get money from me. I don’t know how much I’m worth, but all my money definitely belongs to my women.”
