Kawakami Mizuki

Qi Yuan died.

When Lin Chuyi heard the news, she was sitting in the drinking water pavilion with a bowl of traditional Chinese medicine in front of her.

She poured down the bowl of medicine expressionlessly, and asked, "Which hospital did Qi Yuan go to?"

"It's under the name of the Qi family." Yi Chuwen understood what she was thinking, and responded.

"Convince me." Although Lin Chuyi had expected it long ago, she still couldn't help but sigh, "If a murderer like me marries into the Yi family, this matter will inevitably affect the game between the Yi Qi family."

"Father decided to let go of this marriage, and I haven't agreed yet."

Sure enough, he is the head of the family, and he is decisive in doing things.Lin Chuyi sighed inwardly. At the beginning, Yi Jingxuan was in a hurry to get the two of them engaged. She was still puzzled. Later, the person who was placed in Yi's house sent news, and then she realized that somehow Yi Jingxuan knew about her subordinates. Part of the property made him vigilant, so he wanted to lock her up through engagement. If she really married, the private wealth underneath would inevitably be transferred to the Yi family's name.At this time, she was in trouble, and compared to the cake that was about to be eaten, her little things were nothing.So she gave up decisively, but what surprised her was: "Why didn't you agree? It's rare to have such a good opportunity to separate the relationship."

"Qi Yuan's death can't be so worthless, Qi Yuan will not let you go." Yi Chuwen pointed out sharply, "If you don't have the Yi family as a backer, you have no chance of winning against the Qi family alone."

"How could I be alone." Lin Chuyi spread her hands, "Someone said they wanted to cover me, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Yi Chuwen didn't understand what she was referring to, but felt that her self-confidence was not groundless, so he nodded and said, "What are you going to do next?"

"Go to Yi's house to call off the marriage first, and then..." Lin Chuyi paused, "You may have to rely on yourself for the rest."

Lin Chuyi dug out a stack of documents from the counter and handed them to Yi Chuwen, "I'll tell you the truth, I'm in very poor health and need to rest. These are the last things I can help you with. Whether you succeed or not depends entirely on your own ability."

Yi Chuwen was not surprised by Lin Chuyi's illness.He could often smell the faint smell of medicine on Lin Chuyi's body, but he never expected that she would suddenly propose to rest at this moment, at this moment when the rain was about to come.

"Is it serious? I happen to have an old relationship with an old Chinese doctor, maybe I can help you."

Lin Chuyi smiled helplessly, "I accept it with good intentions, but life and death are fate, so there is no need to force it."

Yi Chuwen didn't expect it to be so serious that his life was in danger, so he asked in surprise, "What kind of disease is it?"

Lin Chuyi's eyes fell elsewhere, and he let out a long sigh.

"When I was young, my father often accused me of being crazy, living in a dream, but I didn't expect that my death was also a dream."

The two went to Yi's house together to divorce.Sitting side by side in the back seat without talking, sitting on the left and right respectively, each thinking.Suddenly, Yi Chuwen bent down while clutching his left chest, his face turned pale.

Lin Chuyi asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Yi Chuwen only forced a smile, "It's okay, it's just that my heart suddenly twitched for some reason."

Lin Chuyi originally wanted to tease him, but seeing his face... was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly became serious, and he didn't say any more.

When the car stopped in front of the gate of Yi's house, Yi Chuwen realized that something had happened.

Several servants stood at the door anxiously and looked back and forth. When they saw Yi Chuwen came back, they walked up quickly as if they were being pardoned, "Master, you can count yourself back."

"What happened?" Yi Chuwen already had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still tried his best to ask calmly.

"Suddenly there was a gunshot from the master's study just now. After a short while, the butler called people in in a panic, and then...then the master was carried out by several bloody people..."

"What?" Yi Chuwen's consciousness went blank for a moment, his eyes subconsciously searched the ground, and as expected, there was a pool of blood outside the iron gate, and the mottled blood stains stretched all the way inward...Suddenly a figure blocked his sight, He opened a pair of red eyes and looked angrily, but it was Lin Chuyi standing in front of him, looking at him coldly, "Tell me, besides you, who else in your family can handle this matter at this time .”

Yi Chuwen was taken aback for a moment, managed to maintain his composure, and nodded to her, "I see."

Except for a few people who followed to the hospital and the servants, the rest of them were standing or sitting in the hall, and when they saw Yi Chuwen coming in, they greeted Yi Chuwen as if they had encountered a life-saving straw.Lin Chuyi quietly stepped aside, looking for Yi Linchuan.

Yi Linchuan was lowering his head at the moment, looking at a loss, but his lowered eyes did not appear flustered.

A look of surprise and approval flashed in Lin Chuyi's eyes, and she looked up to the right.And that person noticed her too.

——Among the flustered and chaotic expressions, only these two calm people were incompatible.One is Lin Chuyi, the other is Yi Jingtang;

In fact, the reason why he can be so calm is because he has no warmth for this father.

Yi Linchuan lowered his eyes, thinking about it.

Yi Jingxuan.The man took him home without questioning him.Recalling the past few years, I can't think of a conversation between the two at all.and……

His thoughts were interrupted by his aunt, and the exhaustion that could not be concealed was revealed in his voice.

"Miss Lin, it's rare for you to come to my humble house, but I don't have time to entertain you at this time. I'm really sorry. Please don't mention what happened today."

Why is Lin Chuyi here?Yi Linchuan raised his head, but saw Lin Chuyi standing aside, and only heard her say, "I'm sorry for coming here rashly. If that's the case, I won't bother you anymore, please forgive me."

Originally, he came here to withdraw the engagement, but doing so at this time would be like adding insult to injury.Therefore, as an outsider, Lin Chuyi left without stopping after paying enough courtesy, which made Yi Linchuan who came after him almost miss catching up.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chuyi looked at the panting young man.

"What you asked me to do, I have done."

"So, are you here to ask me for a reward?"

"Ah."

"So, have you figured out what you want?"

"I want to leave here."

"...Okay. Within a year, I will definitely take you out of here."

After Yi Jingxuan's death, with the support of the old lady, Yi Chuwen took over his father's power.It didn't mess up the Yi family for a while.

At this time, Yi Jingtang was sitting alone in the study, with a note on hand.

On the table was a small porcelain white cup, lightly soaked in alcohol.With a flick of his hand, Yi Jingtang threw a burning match down, and the flames shot up all of a sudden.

"Support Chu Wen on the surface, continue to maintain the stability of the Yi family with three legs, but gather all the real power behind the scenes? It's really easy to calculate." Yi Jingtang sat on the edge of the wooden table, with his right hand resting on his temple, between the index finger and middle finger of his left hand I put a piece of paper into the bowl, and that piece of paper ignited all of a sudden.

"It's just that Chu Wen is not necessarily willing to be manipulated by others."

The jumping flames reflected in his eyes, the corners of his lips were slightly curved, and his peach blossom eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Suddenly I feel that the scene of patricide is also very interesting. You are right, my cute little nephew."

Yi Chuwen has a bit of a headache recently, or rather, a very headache.

While expressing to everyone that her son inherited her father's business, the old lady held on to her power and refused to let go.The Qi family fought back desperately like crazy, and he had to be restrained everywhere when dealing with these matters.And when he was so busy that he hit the back of his head with his heel, gossip came out of nowhere.

Yi Chuwen sneered, the so-called "father and son are not in harmony", "can't wait", "a thousand dollars hired a killer", he naturally would not think that such malicious rumors were unintentional, but it is strange What's more, he couldn't catch the root cause of the rumormonger.

Yi Chuwen's face darkened, and a sharp look suddenly increased on his face.If the real culprit can be caught, the rumors will be self-defeating.

But the tricky thing is that the murderer is obviously a professional killer who is well versed in this way, leaving no trace at the scene of the crime.However, the people who have enmity with the Yi family were investigated, but... Yi Chuwen sighed, the Yi family was involved in both black and white, and Yi Jingxuan would inevitably lose his life. If the investigation is really made public , even if it is really found out, I am afraid it will not be good.

The second floor of the Drinking Water Pavilion.

"You know who it is, right?" Yi Linchuan looked at Lin Chuyi quietly and asked.

"I know." Lin Chuyi took a sip of tea, her eyes fell outside the window, but she didn't look at him.

"Who is it?" Yi Linchuan breathed a little quicker, and after hearing no answer, he said slowly, "You won't tell me, right? Because I'm no longer worth exchanging information with you."

Only then did Lin Chuyi look at him and waved, "Come here, and I'll tell you."

There was a low table between them, Yi Linchuan stood up and walked around.

"Squat down." Lin Chuyi sat on the mat, propped her chin with one hand, and rested the other on the low table.

Yi Linchuan squatted down obediently, and was immediately hit on the head viciously. Lin Chuyi pinched his face and said fiercely: "In your eyes, we are just a transaction relationship, and you will throw it away after you use it up?"

It was the first time Yi Chuwen saw Lin Chuyi being so fierce, he stared at her anxiously, not daring to answer.

After Lin Chuyi finished pinching, she was even more annoyed, and messed up Yi Linchuan's hair again.Yi Linchuan put on a bird's nest head, obediently daring not to fight back.Seeing him like this, Lin Chuyi calmed down his anger, smoothed his hair little by little, and sighed: "I always treat you as my younger brother, even though you just treat me as someone who has ulterior motives to take advantage of me." Your weird sister."

Hearing the despondency in Lin Chuyi's words, Yi Linchuan panicked, and hurriedly said: "No! I, I just..." Knowing that he was wrong, he couldn't say a word of apology, he just flattered him. Pulling Lin Chuyi's arm and shaking it.

In fact, Lin Chuyi was no longer angry, but thinking that he couldn't easily let this suspicious kid go, he still pretended to be sad and said: "Oh, people are old, and they don't want to be seen anymore. You little brat is so good, you still treat me like a strange aunt and beware..."

"No, no, sister Chuyi, sister...don't ignore me..."

Lin Chuyi saw that it was almost done, and said, "Since you already recognize me as your sister, you should listen to me carefully in the future and don't doubt me, you understand?"

Yi Linchuan hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Only then did Lin Chuyi show a smile, and turned out a small box from the bottom of the table, opened it, and inside lay a piece of exquisitely carved hollow jade paper, and several land deeds and contracts were pressed under the jade raft.Lin Chuyi handed him the box and said, "You put this away, and with this, the Drinking Water Pavilion is yours."

Yi Linchuan was surprised and said, "Sister, are you the shopkeeper here?"

"I used to be, now you are."

Yi Linchuan understood the meaning of this sentence, and hurriedly returned the box to Lin Chuyi as if catching a hot potato, "It's too precious, I can't take it."

"You said just now that you would listen to me." Lin Chuyi said sadly, "Do you really despise me as an old aunt?"

"No, no." Yi Linchuan shook his head hastily.

"Given by the elders, it cannot be refused. Do you know?" Lin Chuyi rubbed his hair, "Let's go on."

Yi Linchuan had no choice but to accept it obediently.

"I have some things to do, and I may not be back for more than half a year. Your brother will take care of the Yi family's affairs, so you don't have to worry."

Yi Linchuan nodded, remained silent for a while, and suddenly realized: "Sister, you don't want to tell me because you don't want me to tell my brother, right? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"so……"

Lin Chuyi looked at the begging look in Yi Linchuan's eyes with a headache, and sighed.

"At the beginning, in order to separate your brother and Xia Tian, ​​your father sent someone to punish Xia Tian's cousin."

"What? Then why don't you directly attack Brother Xia?"

"Because your brother will go crazy."

"..."

"But your father doesn't know that Xia Tian's cousin has a secret lover who happens to be a gangster, and also happens to be someone Yi Jingxuan can't afford to mess with."
