”What do you mean?” Xiao Yi Lin’s gaze turned frosty.
”What do I mean? Go guess it yourself.”
She really did not know why she would like such a man at that time, she was really blind.
”We can do it the easy way or the hard way,” He turned around and left, but Li Lin Er’s torture became even more severe.
Xiao Yi Lin had been considering Li Lin Er’s words ever since he walked out of the dungeon. What did she mean in her words? Could it be that there’s something else hidden?
That idea caused Xiao Yi Lin to feel doubtful: “Go investigate who came into the study room before.”
At the same time, Xiao Yi Lin headed to the General’s Residence.
Xiao Yi Lin’s expression instantly became stiff when he saw Nangong Yan, his gaze was weird when he saw him.
”What are you doing here?”
”Then what are you doing here?” Nangong Yan looked coldly at Xiao Yi Lin. At a glance, one would know how much he did not wish to meet Xiao Yi Lin.
”I’m here because of something.”
”My daughter and son-in-law are here, is there a problem for me to come?” His future grandchild was also present, why couldn’t he come over?
He would think of Xiao Cheng Ya when he saw Xiao Yi Lin, his anger became even more obvious.
Ning Meng Yao quickly dragged Nangong Yan away seeing he was getting angry, she shot a glance at Qiao Tian Chang at the same time.
”Duke Xiao, why are you here?” After Ning Meng Yao and Nangong Yan left, Qiao Tian Chang sat on the stone bench and looked at Xiao Yi Lin.
”Do you have any ideas about Li Lin Er’s matter?” Xiao Yi Lin asked and frowned, it was as if he placed importance in that matter.
Qiao Tian Chang sneered in his heart, he did not display any emotions on his face: “Nope.”
”Really?”
Xiao Yi Lin originally wanted to obtain information from Qiao Tian Chang and the others, who knew that they did not know anything.
He looked suspiciously at Qiao Tian Chang, seeing his resolute gaze with no other meaning, he immediately stopped suspecting.
”Duke Xiao, if you’re here only for this, you can leave,” Qiao Tian Chang immediately chased away the guest without any politeness.
Xiao Yi Lin’s expression stiffened, he looked at Qiao Tian Chang: “General Qiao, you’re chasing me away?”
”Duke Xiao can see it that way,” Qiao Tian Chang nodded, he did not feel embarrassed at all.
Xiao Yi Lin suddenly felt speechless, was he really so annoying?
”I don’t think I can face you in an amicable manner after you killed my child,” Qiao Tian Chang ridiculed seeing Xiao Yi Lin having some thoughts.
Xiao Yi Lin’s expression stiffened, he had completely forgotten about that matter after such a long time.
”This matter......”
”Don’t tell me it has nothing to do with you, who is able to order around the secret soldiers of Xiao Residence other than you?” Qiao Tian Chang looked mockingly at Xiao Yi Lin, causing him to swallow his words.
Xiao Yi Lin wanted to explain but realized that words were useless.
He quietly got up and left, that desolate back figure did not increase Qiao Tian Chang’s pity for him, he had instead felt that he deserved it.
Xiao Yi Lin was at a loss after leaving the General’s Residence, he regretted helping Xiao Zi Xuan then.
Such things would not happen if it wasn’t for his momentary slip.
Xiao Yi Lin was walking on the street, he suddenly did not wish to return to his residence, he found that place unusually cold right now, just a wrong step would lead to a catastrophe.
Even if he regretted it right now, it was already too late.
Xiao Yi Lin only returned to his residence when the skies were already dark and there were lesser people on the street.
Xiao Residence was different from the General’s Residence, there were only servants and no one he could truly talk to.
Thinking about the lively General’s Residence, Xiao Yi Lin was filled with regret.
If it wasn’t because of that matter, he might occasionally visit the General’s Residence, right? No matter what, he was Ning Meng Yao’s uncle.
Ning Meng Yao and the others did not know Xiao Yi Lin had such thoughts, they only felt Xiao Yi Lin’s visit to be really weird, it caused them to feel alert.
”Tian Chang, what do you think is his purpose?” Ning Meng Yao laid on the bed and was unable to sleep.
”For the secret order.”
