ished showering, a T-shirt draped over his shoulders, wearing big shorts, and still steaming with heat."I said, Xiao Qiao, you could at least knock before entering What if I was on a date with Wu Zixu...Lin Yanhuan walked in from the hospital entrance, walking against the light. Her expression was solemn and her face was cold and stern.

He has always looked like this, since the first time I saw him.

Meticulous and well-dressed, calm and rational.

From his hair to his trousers, there wasn't a speck of dust.

"Xiao Qiao" he frowned slightly, pulling me back to reality.

“How is it that you’re here” I pursed my lips and managed a strained smile.

"Is there anyone else who can come" he said faintly. "Or, who do you hope will come"

He beckoned with his finger over his shoulder, and the bodyguard in a black suit walked up behind the wheelchair and helped me walk alongside him.

At the door of his black limousine, he bent down and reached out to embrace me.

I'm not really being too dramatic.

My legs are like lead now, I can't walk. Whether he carries me or a bodyguard does, it makes no difference to me.

After closing the car door, he said faintly: "The person you hope for will not come."

I lowered my eyes slightly.

I know something's wrong, not just my house, but many places have problems too.

The Si family's elaborate schemes couldn't have been without gain, they also significantly weakened the power of the secular and religious forces.

“Where do we even begin” I asked. “Lin Yanhuan, you seem to know a lot more than me.”

He pressed a button, and a partition rose to separate the front and back of the carriage.

Lin Yan leaned against the sofa backrest, her hands supporting the sides of the armrests. Her knuckles were clearly visible as her fingers crossed on her abdomen, exuding an air of confidence from a superior position.

"I do know quite a bit, but it's on a different level and from a different angle than what you know... where would you like to start"

“Let's start with the simplest things, just to get my head straight.” I rubbed my temples.

First, I heard gunshots last night.

Why are there gunshots Did the patrol officers fire their guns Who did they shoot at

Lin Yanhuan let out a cold snort: "Patrol officer It was Lin Yanqin who fired the gun!"

I was a little surprised, Miss Lin fired a gun Who did she fire at

Yesterday, I called Miss Lin for help. When the call was transferred to Lin Yanhuan, I only managed to whisper "Situ Lin" before hanging up.

When Lin Yanhuan heard the name Situ Lin, he immediately told Lin Yanqin to call the police. Then he arranged some things and hurried over here.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Lin Yanqin sped towards my house while reporting the incident. She arrived first and saw my brother fighting a group of men in black from the Situ family. One of the men in black drew a dagger and was about to sneak attack.

In desperation, she snatched the gun from the bodyguard's hand and fired a shot at him.

"She shot at someone!" I stared at Lin Yanhuan in shock. "She probably didn't hit her, right Lin Yanqin is a rich heiress, she wouldn't use a gun, would she"

Lin Yanhuan glanced at me and said lightly, "Xia and I have to learn to protect ourselves from a young age. Her marksmanship is no worse than mine."

Lin Yanqin's shot hit the man in black in the leg. This is going to be a big problem, the Lin family will have to spend a lot of effort to cover it up.

"What about my brother My father" I pressed.

"...They got into a brawl on the street, Chairman Situ was beaten and hospitalized, and they were taken into custody by the police... I had people go through channels to bail them out, they should be home now." Lin Yanhuan replied calmly.

That's good.

"What about Lin Yanqin firing the gun How do we fix this" I asked, frowning.

Lin Yanhuan let out a cold snort: "She's audacious, it's good for her to taste some bitterness."

"Are you serious! You actually let your own sister go to the detention center!" I looked at Lin Yanhuan in astonishment: "That place is terrifying, right How could a rich heiress possibly stay there!"

Lin Yanhuan shook her head and said, "My mom would educate her. How could she possibly let her go to a detention center"

I let out a silent breath of relief and continued, "What about that old bastard Situ now"

"He's still in a coma. Your brother hit him hard, and he was also carrying an illegal electric baton. If the Situ family wants to pursue this, there will be lawsuits, and there will definitely be civil liability."

Carrying contraband could lead to detention and fines at the very least, or even imprisonment in severe cases. I couldn't help but bite my lip; this was a big problem… Lord Situ is still a member of the CPPCC from the religious sector.

"...Chairman Si Tu is in a coma at the hospital. You better pray he wakes up, or Mu Yunfan will be facing criminal charges."

"That old monster! He's performing a ritual right at my doorstep!" I was so furious I wanted to tear him apart!

Lin Yanhuan said faintly, "Xiao Qiao, I've told you many times... You people in your circle are first and foremost 'humans'! Even in a place with a country and government, you have to abide by the law... Otherwise, where can you run to What evidence can you give the police and judges when they say he is harming you"

I...

He snorted coldly: “I’ve already arranged for a lawyer on this side, and I’ve also had people work on smoothing things over. You don’t have to worry about Mu Yunfan being the defendant.”

I remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

There was a few minutes of silence in the car, then Lin Yanhuan suddenly spoke, "I thought you'd open your mouth and ask about 'him' right away."

"Is it useful" I smiled wryly. "He hasn't shown up yet, there must be something unexpected."

During the day, Jiang Qiyun would come over at night, but until now, he hasn't shown up... I summoned others, and they haven't appeared either.

Even the minor officials and deities, such as the "Seven and Eight Lords," did not appear.

Even the Yin soldiers who were driven away by Old Master Situ last night have vanished without a trace.

Lin Yanhuan paused for a moment, then said to me in a serious tone: "I need to have a serious talk with you about this."

"What" I sensed something off about his tone.

The car pulled up to Lakefront Park. My street was nearby, so Lin Yanhuan kicked the partition and the driver immediately pulled over to the side of the road.

I looked out the window in bewilderment, wondering what I was doing here.

Lin Yanhuan's expression was solemn: "… This morning, the highest level issued an order. Putuo Temple and Qingyu Taoist Temple were found to be poorly managed, so they were ordered to close their mountain gates for rectification. In addition, there was a tip-off that terrorists were hiding in the mountains, and local police and military forces have sealed off roads and searched the mountains. Residents nearby have been temporarily relocated."

I was a little stunned.

What does this mean

--- What does this mean! ---

"Lin Yanhuan! Are you trying to learn from Huang Dao village If those corpse toxins truly infect and spread decay, then should we humanely destroy these people!"

"What were those elders thinking! To destroy life like this! To prevent things from escalating, they're just going to repeat the tragedy of Huangdao Village! This is karmic retribution! The Situ family rose to power because of such karma! Don't those elders learn from their mistakes!"

"If all these masters die, killed by bullets! If there are second and third Huangdao Villages appearing, who will come forward to maintain the sealing array! Do the Grand Elders even understand!"

I pounded the armrest with all my might, my voice cracking in fury.

Lin Yanhuan remained expressionless, speaking each word clearly: "The things those in power understand are far more than you can imagine..."
