Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

at this time,

The people in the forest villa all had solemn and sorrowful expressions, and suppressed sobs could be heard from time to time.

The news that Lin Zijian, the head of the Lin family in Beijing, was accidentally killed by his victim while raping someone has appeared on the front page of major news media and quickly topped the trending search list.

In the darkness of night,

Two black SUVs sped towards them.

"squeak!"

The lead SUV braked suddenly at the entrance of the Lin family's house, and the bodyguard captain, Ah Long, stopped the car in front of a row of wreaths.

"Bang!"

The car door opened, and Lin Weihua jumped out of the car with a gloomy and sad expression. He then took three steps at a time to the front gate of the Lin family.

"thump!"

Lin Weihao knelt down in front of Lin Zijian's mourning hall.

"Bang bang bang..."

He kowtowed nine times in a row, his forehead stained with blood, and cried out in anguish, "Master, I'm so sorry! I failed to protect you! I deserve to die! I've let down the dozens of people in the Lin family! I've failed you in your trust and guidance all these years!"

Upon hearing the news, Lin Ruoxi, her pretty face contorted with anger, rushed forward and grabbed Lin Weihai's clothes, shouting furiously, "Lin Weihai, how dare you come back?"

"Why don't you just die with my dad?!"

"Clap clap clap..."

Lin Weihua didn't need Lin Ruoxi to lift a finger; he slapped himself hard, the slaps making a loud cracking sound, blood trickling down the corners of his mouth...

Lin Ruoxi said coldly, "Is slapping someone enough? You should commit suicide in front of my father's funeral hall to show your loyalty."

Two terrifying glints flashed in Lin Weihao's eyes as he shouted, "Fine, I'll kill myself in the master's mourning hall to show my innocence and loyalty."

"stop!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out.

Then Uncle Yu, his face ashen, strode over and said, "Lin Weihao, Old Master Xiao is waiting for your questioning."

"Ruoxi, don't be angry. Everything has a cause and effect. It's not too late to punish him after we've finished questioning him."

When Yu Bo speaks, he is speaking on behalf of Xiao Huai'an.

Not to mention that Lin Ruoxi wouldn't dare disobey, there are very few people in the capital who would dare to defy Xiao Huai'an, let alone the fact that Lin Ruoxi now has to rely on the Xiao family to help her manage the overall situation.

Lin Ruoxi grabbed Lin Weihao by the collar and whispered through gritted teeth in his ear, "Lin Weihao, do you know what you should and shouldn't say? You'd better think carefully before you speak."

"Don't say a word about anything that has nothing to do with my dad."

"Otherwise, I'll make you pay."

Lin Ruoxi was afraid that under Xiao Huai'an's pressure, Lin Weihao would reveal the secret relationship between her and Lin Weihao, and then she would not be able to stay in the Lin family.

After all, she is an adopted daughter of the Lin family, and there are still many things she doesn't fully control. It's too early for her to think about seizing the Lin family's vast fortune...

Lin Weihua said softly, "I understand, Miss."

Lin Ruoxi shoved Lin Weihai away forcefully and said loudly, "Lin Weihai, you must cooperate fully with Grandpa Xiao's investigation. This is your last chance. If I find out you've betrayed us, I swear I'll make you wish you were dead and spend the rest of your life in jail."

Watching Lin Weihao and Uncle Yu walk into the living room, Lin Ruoxi turned her gaze away and waved to Ah Long, who was standing next to the SUV by the door.

Ah Long, pale and covered in cold sweat, trotted over and whispered, "I'm sorry, Miss. We failed to protect Master. Please punish us."

Lin Ruoxi stared into A Long's eyes and said, "A Long, where were you when my dad had the accident?"

Ah Long, a retired soldier, is a master of Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) and is difficult for several people to approach. He has been by Lin Zijian's side for five or six years and has earned Lin Zijian's deep trust.

Ah Long then said, "Reporting to Miss, I was waiting in the car in the parking lot with my brothers. I was going to take one of my brothers with me to go in with the boss, but Uncle Lin wouldn't let us. He said that the master had to talk to Ishida Mako and Ki Hideko about important matters, and it wouldn't be convenient for us to go in and talk."

"Miss, actually, the master and that Mu Xiuzi stayed at the hotel last night until this morning before leaving for Xunda Technology Co., Ltd. We don't know what happened at the hotel."

Lin Ruoxi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is it just my dad and Mu Xiuzi in the hotel?"

Ah Long: "And Uncle Lin, on the way back just now, Uncle Lin told me not to talk about these things. I think it's better for Miss to know. The master died under mysterious circumstances, and the brothers are all furious. This is not only our dereliction of duty, but to be honest, Uncle Lin bears an unshirkable responsibility for the master's death. If I had been by the master's side at the time, he definitely wouldn't have died. I would have protected the master's safety with my life."

Lin Ruoxi's tears flowed again as she listened, and she choked out, "Ah Long, from now on you will only listen to me, and you must not listen to anyone else."

Ah Long's body trembled as he said, "Understood, Miss."

at the same time,

Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke arrived at the Public Security Hospital located in Beishatan, Beijing. He Hongshui, the head of the hospital's security department, had already received instructions from his superiors and was waiting at the entrance.

Xia Keke and He Hongshui had known each other for a long time.

So he introduced, "Section Chief He, this is Comrade Xiao Zhan."

"Xiao Zhan, this is He Hongshui, the head of the security department."

He Hongshui looked at Xiao Zhan in surprise and asked, "You're Xiao Zhan, the eldest son of the Xiao family?"

Xiao Zhan smirked and said, "Section Chief He, what do you mean? Is someone using my name to do something shady?"

He Hongshui grinned and said, "No, I heard that Young Master Xiao is a former special forces soldier. I also served in the army for more than ten years before I was injured and came back."

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "All soldiers under heaven are one family. So Section Chief He is an old sergeant. Salute to the old sergeant."

Xiao Zhan raised his hand and gave He Hongshui a military salute.

He Hongshui quickly returned the salute.

Two large hands were clasped tightly together.

"Xiao Zhan!"

"He Hongshui!"

Seeing the mutual respect between the two former soldiers, Xia Keke smiled and said, "You soldiers really value relationships. You two can catch up another time. Let's discuss and assign today's tasks."

Xiao Zhan: "Okay!"

He Hongshui: "Why don't you two come to my office to talk?"

As darkness gradually fell.

With the help of a real estate agent, Qin Huanhuan and Liang Yanhong finally found a house that they thought was suitable.

This is a small one-bedroom apartment, over forty square meters, with a rent of two thousand eight hundred a month, which is already the limit she can afford.

When Liang Yanhong saw that the rent for such a small house was two or three thousand yuan a month, she immediately said, "Huanhuan, let's not rent a house anymore. It's too expensive. I'll just squeeze into the hospital corridor or the hospital garden. That will save a lot of money."

Qin Huanhuan said, "Mom, the weather is getting colder. If you don't sleep and eat well for a long time, your health will collapse. I've found a job now and can afford the rent."

The agent quickly produced the agreement and said, "Ms. Qin, if you're satisfied, please sign the agreement. It's three months' rent as deposit and one month's rent as a deposit. You'll need to pay for utilities yourself. The place is fully furnished; you can move in immediately."

"To be honest, the houses in this area are very easy to rent. They are not only famous school districts in Xicheng, but also very close to the subway station, making commuting to and from get off work very convenient. They are only 300 meters away from the People's Hospital. Many family members from other places who come to the People's Hospital for treatment often rent for a few months, which is cheaper and more convenient than staying in a hotel."

Qin Huanhuan had already inquired about the relevant rules for renting a house.

So they signed the agreement, paid three months' rent as a deposit, and transferred the money to the intermediary.

Qin Huanhuan thought for a moment and sent Xiao Zhan a message: "I just rented a one-bedroom apartment. The rent is 2,800 yuan a month. It's right next to the People's Hospital. Do you want to come and take a look?"

Qin Huanhuan wrote down the address and sent the message.

She felt that since Xiao Zhan had given her the money, she should let him know.

"Ding-dong!"

Xiao Zhan quickly replied, "You've worked hard. Let your mother get some rest, and you should go to bed early too, you have to go to work tomorrow. Good night."

"Ding-dong!"

Xiao Zhan sent another message: "Take good care of yourself. I heard that drinking brown sugar and ginger water is helpful when you have your period."

Qin Huanhuan glanced at her mother tidying up the room and replied, "We just moved in, and we don't have these ingredients in the kitchen. We'll do it tomorrow."

Qin Huanhuan was very tired and lay down on the sofa, feeling drowsy.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong!"

Suddenly the doorbell rang.

Qin Huanhuan got up to open the door, muttering to herself, "I just moved in, who would come so late?"

"Hello, your takeout is here."

As soon as Qin Huanhuan opened the door, the deliveryman handed her a steaming cup of brown sugar ginger and jujube milk tea.

"I didn't order takeout!"

Qin Huanhuan exclaimed in surprise!
