Lin Ning likes her mother's new boyfriend.

Although he is a thief, he is extremely charming, with a handsome appearance, a refreshing temperament, he is neither pretentious nor timid, he is bold and careful, and of course the most important thing is that his mother likes him.

As long as mom is happy, that’s more important than anything else.

Lin Ning stood on tiptoe and patted Qi Lian on the shoulder, "Uncle Qi, have fun with my mom. I won't disturb you."

Few people dare to pat Qi Lian on the shoulder.

Lin Ning was the first one.

He liked this little girl more and more. She was straightforward and had a hot temper but she was very sensible and gave him face.

He walked to the bedside table, took out a small tube of incense from his bag, and handed it to Lin Ning. "In an emergency, light it up. It can save your life. When using it, remember to hold your breath and don't make yourself faint."

Lin Ning took the slender wooden incense box, opened the sealed box stopper, and inside was a thin brown incense stick.

Not daring to listen, she quickly closed the wooden box and gave him a cute smile, "Thank you, little dad!"

Qi Lian was amused by her.

This name is strange, but very appropriate.

As he laughed, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Human beings are creatures that are easily moved by emotions, feelings, and family affection.

He originally wanted to use Yuan Shutian and borrow the power of the elders to take revenge, and then leave. But now he can't bear to part with Yuan Shutian, and he also feels a little reluctant to part with this adopted daughter.

He sighed silently in his heart.

She then took out a small jade bottle made of green jade from her bag and handed it to Lin Ning.

Lin Ning unscrewed the cork out of curiosity. Inside were about four or five pills wrapped in tin foil. Their size and shape resembled longan seeds, and they had a unique fragrance that was refreshing.

Just one sniff and you'll feel refreshed and energized.

Although she didn't know what this pill was, Lin Ning guessed that it should be a rare and valuable thing.

She tightened the stopper of the jade bottle and asked Qi Lian, "Little Dad, what is this wonderful pill?"

Qi Lian said: "The life-extending pill is made from wild ginseng and other medicinal materials extracted over decades. If you are weak in the future, take one pill and your strength will be a hundred times greater, helping you to overcome the most difficult stage for a woman. Your grandfather and your mother can take it to extend their lives at critical moments."

Lin Ning heard the implication that she should eat it when she gives birth.

The second sentence gives a feeling of entrustment.

He was a thief and his mother was the daughter of a high-ranking official, so it was impossible for the two of them to have a relationship, but he had three generations of their family in his heart.

Lin Ning felt touched.

This person is not an ungrateful person.

She squeezed the two things tightly in her hands and said, "Thank you, little dad! Thank you!"

She walked away holding the jade bottle and the incense box.

Yuan Shutian said: "Xiao Ning has a strong personality. I thought you two were incompatible, but I didn't expect it to be just the opposite."

Qi Lian handed her a glass of water and said, "She is your daughter and Xiaoxi's cousin, so I should love her as well as her family."

Yuan Shutian smiled, "You like children?"

"Ah."

Yuan Shutian felt a little sad, "Why didn't you get married and have a child?"

Qi Lian said: "Because I have never met a beauty like you before."

Yuan Shutian raised the corners of her lips. Even if it was a lie, she was willing to treat it as true.

A mature woman can be happier only if she doesn't take things too seriously.

At lunch time, the servant came up and called them.

The elder had woken up and was helped to the upper seat by Qin Ye.

The elder rolled his eyes at Qi Lian and warned him, "You little bastard, if you try to hypnotize me again, I won't be polite!"

Qi Lian was helping Yuan Shu Tian pick up some food, and without even raising his eyelids, he answered, "If I hadn't hypnotized you just now, you would have been furious. I saved your life, but you're not grateful, and you're here to accuse me, you old ungrateful bastard."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

No one dared to neglect a person of the status of a veteran, but Qi Lian cursed him.

I thought the elder would leave in anger, but he said nothing, lowered his head silently, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the food and started eating.

Qi Lian glanced at him and guessed that this was the scar he had poked.

The child with the seven-star mole on his body may have a family that has done a favor to the elders, but the elders have probably let them down.

He couldn't help but feel curious about the kid.

Curious about what kind of child that is?

By using him, he can control the elders with just a few words.

Spend the second half of the day peacefully.

After dinner in the evening, the elder pressed his chest and said to Qi Lian: "I am not feeling well today. Please sleep with me tonight."

Qi Lian raised his eyelids and glanced at him.

I thought to myself, what an old fox! The abacus beads are about to fall on his face.

This clearly meant that he would not be given the opportunity to be intimate with Yuan Shutian.

Lin Ning said in a crisp voice: "Grandpa, please calm down for a while. My mother is forty-nine years old, not nineteen. When she was nineteen, you didn't care so much about her."

Seeing them talking about family matters, Qin Ye winked at Qin Lu and Lu Ning, and the three of them found an excuse to leave.

The elder said, "It is precisely because I was too busy when she was nineteen that I did not pay enough attention to her. I am making up for it now."

Lin Ning clenched her fists, "I thought you were very open-minded, but I didn't expect you to be more and more like Gu Laobaby, a troublemaker!"

The elder did not argue with her, but he could not defeat her.

He looked at Qi Lian and said solemnly, "Let's discuss the list tonight. Come to me if you want revenge."

Qi Lian thought for a second and nodded, "Okay."

Yuan Shutian felt a little disappointed. In his eyes, revenge always came first, but it was understandable.

Qi Lian gave her an apologetic look.

Yuan Shutian smiled calmly, indicating that everything was fine.

Not making a fuss or being overly calculative is the attitude that a mature woman should have.

That night, Qi Lian came to the elder's room.

The elder pointed at the thick scanned documents and said, "We can't file a case based on just these words. We need more evidence. Do you have any more?"

Qi Lian stared at the information. "Every time I take a job, I deal with their confidants or informants. I secretly follow their confidants or informants and deduce the person behind the scenes. The information records the time, place and fee of each transaction in detail. My fees are expensive, no less than seven figures each time, sometimes up to eight figures, but they still flock to me, just to bring down the other party and get promoted. With so much money, they can't do it with their salaries. Send the relevant departments to investigate, and they will find out the truth, unless you don't want to investigate."

The elder frowned and said, "Of course we have to investigate, but there are too many people, so we must be cautious. When Bojun comes back, I will discuss it with him."

Qi Lian sneered, "Where is the mighty spirit you had when you were galloping on the battlefield?"

The elder closed his eyes in annoyance.

It was all his second son, Yuan Zhonghuai’s fault, who had been secretly selling official positions and titles for many years without telling him.

This made him feel constrained and afraid to conduct a drastic investigation.

He was afraid that if the investigation continued, it would lead to the Yuan family, and eventually implicate Yuan Bojun, Yuan He and Yuan Jun.

If something happens to the Yuan family, everyone will blame them, and their lives will be far worse than those of ordinary people.

Seeing that the elder had kept his eyes closed and remained silent, Qi Lian lost his patience, "Are you going to be like those corrupt officials, pushing and pulling, dragging your feet, and finally making big things small and small things nothing?"

The elder took a deep breath.

Caught in a dilemma, it is difficult to take a step forward.

He wished he had never given birth to Yuan Zhonghuai. It was all his fault that he had caused such a big mess for him, causing him to feel so inconsolable now.

Qi Lian slapped the bedside table and stood up. "If they can't even help someone of your status, what's the point of the law?"

He turned around and left in anger!

The elder hurriedly opened his eyes and shouted, "Wait! Where are you going?"

Qi Lian didn't even turn his head, "I'm going to capture Lei Chao's son! If you don't investigate, I'll do it myself!"
