“If you’re worried that you won’t be able to explain yourself when you get home, I can explain it to Uncle Yin so that he won’t blame you.” Lin Jia thought that, understandably, Yin Tao was still worried about what happened, so he wanted to help her resolve the problem. After all, Zhao Yue and Yin Ning didn’t seem so friendly to Yin Tao.
“It’s fine. I’m already used to it.” Yin Tao said, and then she got worried that Lin Jia would misunderstand her. She then explained, “My father treats me quite well. He won’t blame me. My mother was just anxious, she doesn’t usually hit me. Brother Lin Jia, you don’t have to worry about me.”
Looking at the exceptionally understanding Yin Tao, Lin Jia’s heart ached. “Sister Xiaotao, if you have any grievances in the future, you can tell me. I’ll do my best to help you.”
Yin Tao nodded. She was grateful for Lin Jia’s care and concern.
“By the way, Xiaotao, you have to pay more attention to those Jiang family members you met in the restaurant today. Avoid interacting with them as much as possible. If there’s a chance, you have to tell Uncle Yin not to work with the Jiang family in business.” Lin Jia thought of Jiang Xing and his mother in the restaurant, and his expression became a little more serious.
“Brother Lin Jia, do you know Jiang Xing?’ Yin Tao was very observant. She could tell that Jiang Xing probably knew Lin Jia, but he deliberately hid the fact that he knew him.
Lin Jia shook his head and told Yin Tao the truth. “I know Jiang Xing’s father. His family’s business is very big and a little dangerous. Now that someone has already targeted them, the Jiang family will definitely be in trouble in the future.’
Lin Jia didn ‘t hide it from Yin Tao. It was obvious that Jiang Xing wasn’t a good person. Lin Jia didn’t want Yin Tao to have any contact with him, either publicly or privately.
“Alright, I understand, Brother Lin Jia.” Yin Tao understood what Lin Jia meant. However, just by virtue of the fact that she had seen Jiang Xing in the underground casino, she would definitely try her best to avoid him in the future. After all, if she was recognized, it would probably be a lot more troublesome.
Lin Jia sent Yin Tao all the way back to the dormitory door. He only turned around and left after he had watched her go upstairs.
When she stepped into the dormitory, Bai Luo was already lying on the bed. Yin Tao gently put down her backpack, but she heard Bai Luo ask slowly, “Xiaotao, did you go out with Captain Feng again?”
Seeing that Bai Luo wasn’t asleep, Yin Tao didn’t have to tiptoe anymore. “No, don’t you have any assignments today?”
Bai Luo got up from the bed and looked at Yin Tao, who was taking off her coat. She couldn’t help but complain, “l should have been free of those assignments a long time ago. It’s all because of Ji Yu. He keeps pestering me every day.”
“Ji Yu?” Yin Tao thought of what Xia Jin had complained to her about previously and asked Bai Luo with a smile, “It can’t be because of Su Yan, right? Is Xiaoji that afraid of her?’
“I think he’s just afraid of her, but he simply refuses to admit it.” Bai Luo lifted the blanket angrily and pointed at the thick stack of letters on the table. ‘Those were originally Ji Yu’s work, but now, it has become my job to guide Su Yan.”
“Ji Yu just doesn’t want to be alone with Su Yan, so he keeps using me as a shield!”
Seeing Bai Luo’s indignant expression, Yin Tao comforted her. “Just take it that you are doing this because you are capable. Su Yan is an intern to begin with. Don’t be too strict with her and take extra care of her. After all, she’s my master’s cousin.”
Yin Tao remembered what Su Ning had told her. Su Yan’s background wasn’t as good as it seemed. She was actually very sensitive and vulnerable.
“Su Yan doesn’t need us to take care of her at all. She’s a complete genius. She’s good at everything.” Bai Luo had completely understood Su Yan’s personal abilities after spending the past few days with her.
“Isn’t that good? So what does Ji Yu have against her?” Yin Tao asked Bai Luo in confusion.
It should be a good thing for a detective to be assigned an outstanding partner. After all, it would be very helpful for his work. Logically speaking, Ji Yu shouldn’t reject Su Yan.
“Ji Yu’s just devastated that Su Yan is better than him in every way! ” Although Bai Luo couldn’t stand Ji Yu’s actions, she could understand his feelings. After all, it was impossible for Ji Yu to feel good about being completely inferior to a female partner.
“Better in every way? Su Yan pinned him to the ground once, that’s all right? Is there a need to hold a grudge?” Yin Tao was quite familiar with Ji Yu. She didn’t think that Ji Yu was a petty person, so she didn’t understand why he was only treating Su Yan like this.
“It wasn’t just a throw. Ji Yu was asking for it. In the beginning, he kept pestering Su Yan to compete. In the end, the two of them even tried arm wrestling, and Ji Yu still lost completely.]’
