A dowry of one billion, and I'll marry him!
Chapter 59 There's a mole among us
Zhan Jinglin analyzed the whole matter very rationally.
"Therefore, someone leaked your medical information and learned that you are seriously ill! The Shen family is afraid of offending the Zhan family, and if the Zhan family asks for a marriage to ward off bad luck, the Shen family dares not refuse."
"So, to prevent this from happening again, you brought the young mistress back as a backup?" Gu Qing asked, somewhat taken aback, following Zhan Jinglin's line of thought.
Zhan Jinglin nodded slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
“Ordinary servants wouldn’t know the true nature of my illness, so only those close to me can investigate secretly and find the culprit without alerting them,” Zhan Jinglin said coldly.
"Yes." Gu Qing was taken aback.
He tightened his grip on the iPad, turned, and strode away.
Zhan Jinglin stood there alone, then stepped into the bathroom. Looking at the window, he saw that the glass seemed to have a small hole, and there was a burnt smell nearby.
In the corner, there was a little bit of dust! He reached out, touched it, and rubbed it, discovering it was a talisman.
"Young Master." At this moment, Butler Zhou walked quickly towards him.
Zhan Jinglin turned his head and saw Butler Zhou's hesitant expression. He asked in a hoarse voice, "What happened?"
"Today, the young mistress reminded me that I might have kidney stones..." he said, pulling out a CT scan. "I went to the hospital for a checkup, and luckily it was discovered early. Otherwise, at my age, I probably wouldn't be able to withstand multiple laser surgeries."
Zhan Jinglin's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked with some disbelief, "She knew just by looking at you?"
“Yes,” said Butler Zhou.
He quickly took out his phone, opened the video he had saved earlier, and whispered, "I watched the young mistress's variety show live stream. Although there was controversy online, the young mistress did a fortune telling for that Zheng Jiao, and it came true that night."
"Also, when the wind blows and seawater floods in, the talisman she puts at the cave entrance can stop the seawater from flowing in."
"And when I was treating you just now, I saw her use a talisman to summon lightning!"
"Young Master, I think the Young Madam is probably more than just a doctor; she's actually quite capable," Butler Zhou said in a low voice.
Zhan Jinglin looked thoughtfully at the CT scan in his hand, and after a long while said, "Don't tell anyone about tonight's events except for a few of us."
"Yes." Butler Zhou nodded quickly.
"Gossip can be a powerful force. No one may believe the abilities she displays on variety shows, but if someone with ulterior motives discovers them, her situation will be very dangerous, and the Shen family will not let her off the hook," Zhan Jinglin said in a deep voice.
Butler Zhou was taken aback, only then realizing how thoughtful Zhan Jinglin had been.
"Yes, I won't tell anyone." Butler Zhou was taken aback.
He didn't think too much about it; he just thought Shi Yanxia was very capable and wanted to report the matter, but he didn't consider Shi Yanxia's safety.
Zhan Jinglin didn't say anything more, and walked out. Butler Zhou also left.
The bedroom was eerily quiet.
The man sat on the sofa, and after a while, picked up his phone, walked outside, and stood outside Shi Yanxia's door. After a long while, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Who?" Shi Yanxia lay there in a daze, not online.
Pulled back to reality, she quickly got up and went to open the door.
Seeing Zhan Jinglin standing outside the door, she was somewhat surprised and asked, "Mr. Zhan? Are you looking for me?"
"If it's convenient, could we add each other on WeChat and exchange phone numbers? You can contact me directly if you need anything in the future," Zhan Jinglin said in a deep voice.
Shi Yanxia hadn't expected this.
Thinking about her deal with him, she turned around, took out her phone, and showed him a QR code. After they added each other on WeChat, they exchanged phone numbers.
"Take it." Zhan Jinglin said in a hoarse voice.
He handed her something, and Shi Yanxia took it with a puzzled look.
She noticed it was a car key and looked at him with some confusion.
“It’s not very convenient to get a taxi here, so we’ve provided you with a car. If the driver isn’t available, you can drive yourself out,” Zhan Jinglin said in a deep voice.
Seemingly worried that she might overthink it, he added, "It's just a BMW 5 Series, very understated."
Shi Yanxia was a little surprised. She waved her car keys and smiled, "Thanks then."
"Get some rest," Zhan Jinglin said, turning to go back to his room.
As she watched the man turn away, she whispered, "Zhan Jinglin."
The man stopped, turned back and looked at her with a puzzled expression, but said nothing.
"If you want to find out who poisoned you, you should look for your closest relatives! This poison is too potent; it's stored in your bloodstream."
"The only possibility is that they used the blood of a loved one as a medicinal ingredient. I suspect your family has been investigating for years but still hasn't been able to find out who poisoned them."
"You can try to figure out who you came into contact with at midnight on a day, month, and year with an unlucky zodiac sign. That might help you find out who did it," Shi Yanxia whispered a reminder.
A few words, but they shocked Zhan Jinglin once again.
The poison in his body suddenly erupted, causing his entire body to ulcerate and leading to mental confusion. No one suspected that he had been poisoned! Years later, after treatment failed to cure him, it was discovered that he had poison in his blood, and it was then realized that his condition was caused by poisoning.
It's very difficult to trace back!
"Thank you." Zhan Jinglin's voice was low and hoarse, his deep black eyes looking at her with an unfathomable expression.
Shi Yanxia smiled, took the car keys, and tossed them lightly, saying, "No need to thank me, consider it a thank you gift for the car. But a BMW 5 Series is still quite ostentatious for ordinary people."
She said this as she retreated back into the room and closed the door behind her.
Zhan Jinglin stood outside, watching her close the door. The moment he thought of her saying that his poison was guided by the blood of her closest relatives, he clenched his fists with a heavy heart.
*****
That night, Shi Yanxia slept exceptionally well.
When she woke up, it was already noon. She stretched and looked at the glaring sunlight outside the window. She touched her phone and turned it on. She saw a flood of news articles.
Shen's Entertainment is facing bankruptcy.
Shen Rufeng was suspected of drug use and was taken away by police after causing trouble in the middle of the night.
It is said that Shen Lianchu was once kept by a sugar daddy.
These words caught her eye. Shi Yanxia clicked on the news and saw that everyone in the Shen family had been pushed into the spotlight and questioned by netizens.
"Hiss." She rubbed her temples, got up, and glanced at the news.
My gaze fell on another trending topic: [Requesting Shi Yanxia to open a Weibo account! I want to see the goddess do fortune-telling live.]
This trending topic has 20 comments!
They all wanted her to open a billing account, wanted to connect with her, many wanted her fortune told, and some even wanted to buy the water-repelling talismans she drew on the island.
After glancing at it, she got up, changed into a pair of high-waisted jeans, paired with a short white T-shirt, tied her long hair into a ponytail, and after washing up, got up and walked outside.
As soon as I came downstairs, Butler Zhou immediately came to greet me.
"Young Madam, what would you like to eat for lunch?" Butler Zhou asked respectfully.
His eyes shone as he looked at her.
"What did you prepare for lunch? I'm not picky, anything is fine with me," Shi Yanxia said.
Before, when we were in the mountains, it was good enough to have something to eat, let alone have a choice.
"I've prepared roast chicken, congee, braised pig's trotters, and garlic lobster for you," Butler Zhou said in a low voice, while observing her expression.
