But even though he searched half the house, he still found nothing.

Seeing his expression, Lin Mingqian quickly realized that something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "What are you looking for?"

Lin Yuehong was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted, "Nothing... nothing."

Lin Mingqian turned his head and looked at Lin Tingwan suspiciously. The latter gave him an unnatural smile. They were his own son and daughter, so how could he not tell that they were lying?

He knew Lin Yuehong very well. He was not able to handle the matter. If it was related to him, he would have quit by now. But he was still keeping his mouth shut, which meant that this was Lin Tingwan's business.

Lin Mingqian nodded, looked at Lin Yuehong and said, "It's getting late, go back and rest early."

The two of them were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and said, "Yes——"

Lin Tingwan turned around and was about to leave with Lin Yuehong when Lin Mingqian called her, "Yangyang, stay."

Lin Yuehong was a little flustered. He turned around and said unnaturally, "Dad, how can you be partial to one and ignore the other? What can you let my sister know but not let me know?"

"I'm annoyed just by looking at you. While your father can still talk properly, get out of your father's sight as soon as possible." Lin Mingqian frowned, looking intimidating without even getting angry.

Lin Yuehong was used to being beaten since he was a child. Seeing Lin Mingqian like this, he was actually a little scared from the bottom of his heart. He turned his head slowly and took one last look at Lin Tingwan. He smiled apologetically, turned around and slipped away.

I do love my sister a little, but not much.

There were only two people left in the room. The father and daughter looked at the charred floor and the ash-covered ground in front of them, with a lot of thoughts in their minds.

Lin Mingqian sighed and said, "Dad doesn't care about these things. Dad is worried about you Yangyang. I have been guarding the border for so many years because I hope that you, Yue Hong and even the people of this world can live a peaceful life in the future."

"Dad, I know, I know everything." After saying that, Lin Tingwan paused and said word by word, "Although this warehouse was burned down, our Lin family is safe, Dad."

Lin Mingqian narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Tingwan without blinking. He didn't know since when his daughter suddenly became smart and even capable of making plans, which was not like a girl of her age at all.

Lin Tingwan sighed, "Dad, do you know about the Resurrection Powder?"

"I know." Lin Mingqian had been fighting outside for many years and had learned some medical skills. At critical moments, these things could save lives.

Of course he knew the magical properties of the Resurrection Powder.

"Dad, I bought the medicine from Liuli Pavilion." Lin Tingwan lowered his head, his voice a little muffled, "I think Dad should know how precious this medicine is."

Lin Mingqian lowered his eyes, his face darkening a little, "How dare you do this in front of everyone? I always thought you were a sensible child. If I had known that you were going to buy this, I would definitely not have let you go."

Lin Tingwan lowered her eyelids, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow like a small brush.

"No, you're not that stupid. What did you buy that medicine for?"

Lin Tingwan bit her lower lip and spoke slowly after a while, "I'm sending you a favor."

"Who did you give it to?" Lin Mingqian's eyes were even deeper than before.

"Dad, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that some things the fewer people who know the better. Dad, if you trust me, then don't ask me anything, okay?" Lin Tingwan's expression was a little unnatural.

Lin Mingqian sighed, his eyes full of worry, "Yangyang, why are you doing this? Do you know that there are many things that you cannot interfere with?"

After a pause, he asked with a deep look in his eyes, "Who did you give the medicine to?"

Pei Jinan's name was on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't say it. Lin Tingwan bit her lower lip and finally shook her head.

"Dad, the fewer people know about the whereabouts of the medicine, the better. Don't ask. It will benefit our Lin family anyway."

After a pause, scenes from her past life appeared before her eyes. "If our Lin family is persecuted someday, maybe this person will save us once."

"Silly child, what are you talking about? How could anything happen to you with your father around?" Lin Mingqian's eyes were full of worry.

Lin Tingwan lowered her head but said nothing. She didn't know where to start. This matter was truly too unbelievable.

"Forget it, if you don't want to talk about it, forget it. It's getting late, Yangyang, you should go back and rest early." Lin Mingqian touched her head and reminded her, "Just forget it this time, don't do such a dangerous thing again in the future."

"Okay, Dad, just rest assured."

After Lin Tingwan left, Lin Mingqian called Butler Bai and warned him word by word, "Keep an eye on the servants in the mansion. I think you should know what to say and what not to say."

Butler Bai nodded, "Yes, Master, don't worry."

……

"Your Highness, a huge fire suddenly broke out in the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday. According to the information I received, it was said that the fire started accidentally, but in fact, someone stole the storehouse in General Lin's Mansion. They were afraid of being discovered, so they resorted to the desperate measure of burning down the storehouse." Changfeng said with a serious expression.

Pei Yanli narrowed his eyes, "Did the Fang family make any unusual moves last night?"

Chang Feng lowered his head and thought for a while, but finally shook his head, "Your Highness, there was no unusual movement in the Shangshu Mansion yesterday, and not even a single person went out of the mansion. I think this matter has nothing to do with Shangshu Fang."

Pei Yanli narrowed his eyes. For some reason, he felt more and more overwhelmed in recent years, whereas everything was going smoothly in the past few years.

But he didn't know when everything started to change. It was completely different from what he had experienced in his previous life, and even many people in it had changed.

Among them, the one Pei Yanli cared about the most was Lin Tingwan.

Everything seemed to be different, which made him feel as if there was a mastermind behind everything.

"Is there any trace of the Resurrection Powder?"

As soon as Lin Tingwan took the photo of the precious thing, someone went to General Lin's mansion to steal it. The reason for this is self-evident.

Chang Feng shook his head. "That thing is long gone. It is said that it disappeared without a trace."

Only then did Pei Yanli become more certain that the man was after the Resurrection Powder, and stealing from the Lin Mansion's storehouse was just a cover-up.

He tilted his head and thought for a while. There were only a few of them who robbed the Resurrection Powder that day. What if they had no connection with the Fang family?

Pei Yanli nodded and said, "Since the things are no longer in General Lin's mansion, spread the news. Remember, they were stolen by someone with ulterior motives. I don't know where they are now."

Changfeng nodded heavily, "Yes."

"Also check the Minister of Rites."

"Yes."
