Mrs. You sighed. “Qingsi, you are absolutely right. Help me persuade your cousin later. Tell him to stop fooling around and focus a little more on proper matters.”
Yan Qingsi nodded. “No problem, there are way too many vixens in the entertainment circle.
The moment he slips up, he might completely drive himself to his death. I promise you, I will...properly persuade my cousin later.”
“Good child come, eat some more.”
...
Xia Anlan was speaking on the phone in his study, “Start investigating that kidnapping case from 40 years ago, don’t overlook a single lead... I will give you a hypothetical theory, the group who kidnapped Little Ai might also be involved with Nie Quiping’s forced suicide and the death of Yan Qingsi’s step-parents. The incident of Yan Qingsi’s recent two assassinations might also be related to them. I’m not convinced the other party can repeatedly make moves yet not leaving any loose ends. If nothing is found... It’s because of your stupidity.
Xia Anlan’s feelings were still complicated after ending the phone call. He was still unable to calm down after what Yan Qingsi had said at the table earlier.
Based on the reasoning behind what Yan Qingsi had said, it meant...there was someone hiding behind the shadows, all these years.
That was not just a single coincidental conspiracy, in fact, it was a series of connected malicious incidents and terrifying murders.
Little Ai was so young back then. She was an adorable and innocent little girl. Who would have hated her to the extent of committing such a vicious scheme?
He had left it alone back then since he had no clues about the incident.
However now, he felt the need to find out the truth. He could not allow Little Ai to die in vain and all of Qingsi’s tears and sufferings should also be accounted for.
Xia Anlan sat alone in the study for a really long time before he finally calmed down.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Someone knocked on the door.
Xia Anlan asked, “Who is it?”
“Brother Lan...It’s me Rushuang, you ate so little earlier so I’ve made some noodles for you. Please have some. I know you will stay up late and work overtime again, your body will not be able to endure the strain with an empty stomach. Qingsi had also asked me to make sure that you finish this bowl of noodles.”
There was a picture displayed on Xia Anlan’s desk. It was a picture of him in his teens together with Little Ai.
An elegant looking teen, carrying his toddler sister. He was looking down at his sister’s face and that little toddler’s eyes were huge and wide, one of her hands was grabbing at his ear...
He stared at that picture for a brief second before indifferently replied, “Come in.”
Mrs. You immediately opened the door and brought him the noodles.
“Brother Lan, try some of these noodles served with chicken soup. I know you prefer the gentler taste, so I’ve sieved away the layer of grease from the noodles.”
Xia Anlan proceeded to use his chopsticks and picked up some noodles for a taste.
Mrs. You never left and instead spoke in a worried tone, “Qingsi is still a child and there are things she hasn’t understood yet. Little Ai had only left this child behind. Every time I see her, she would remind me of Little Ai. I will patiently guide her in the future. No matter what, she is now a lady of the Xia Family and can no longer behave like she was before. It would be bad if someone were to make fun of her.”
Xia Anlan placed his chopsticks down and said, “I’m done, you can bring this out.”
“Brother Lan, you’ve only taken a bite.”
Xia Anlan’s voice suddenly grew colder. “Get out.”
Mrs. You’s face turned pale and immediately took the bowl out.
However, Xia Anlan’s calm and indifferent voice echoed from behind her. “Whether Qingsi is good or not, she’s still the rightful lady of our Xia family. No matter how she is, she doesn’t require you to guide her. With me here, let’s see who dares to make fun of her!”
