Chapter 77 The Calm Before the War

Xiao Xi asked with a questioning look, "Shen Lishu? Why tell her?"

"Of course, it's to make her owe me a favor." Chu Lingxian glanced at the time. "Her plane is about to arrive. That's it for now. Let's keep in touch." After hanging up the phone, he picked up the water and was about to drink it.

Wen Qin hurriedly took the glass of water and said, "Well, the water is cold. Let me change it for you."

Chu Lingxian looked at her back and sent a message to Xiao Xi. It’s done.

Looking at the message on the phone, Xiao Xi smiled and said to himself: "Oh! As expected of me, I won it easily, haha!"

Shui Liqing was driving when he heard her laughter. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up and he quickened his pace to the airport.

Wen Qin put the water next to her and looked at Chu Lingxian, but didn't know how to start.

"Wenqin, let me ask you one last time, why did you come here?"

Wen Qin still looked at her for a long time before saying, "I told you, can you help me save my mother?"

Looking into her eyes, Chu Lingxian nodded, "Of course, but I also need you to help me do something, cooperation is mutually beneficial."

Wen Qin lowered his head for final thought.

Chu Lingxian was not in a hurry. He drank water and waited for her answer.

"Can I give you the answer when I see Dr. Jiang?" Wen Qin discussed with her.

Chu Lingxian tapped the table with his fingers, "Okay."

Wen Qin felt relieved and breathed slightly.

"Then can you first tell me why Wen Qing asked you to come here?"

Wen Qin told her the plan, "He asked me to drug you and have sex with you. Tomorrow he will bring reporters and the media to expose you."

Chu Lingxian nodded, "I see, it's pretty much what I thought. They've gone to pick someone up, so the room next door is empty, you can go and have a rest."

Wen Qin stood up and left, went to the next room, thought for a moment and sent a message to Wen Qing, "Room 1206, she drank the medicine."

After sending the message, I turned off my phone.

……

Jiang Zhen got off the plane and saw Shui Liqing in the hall. He walked over to greet her with a smile, "It's rare. I haven't seen you for a few years, and you actually remembered to pick me up at the airport. Well, that's progress." After seeing Xiao Xi beside her, he restrained himself a little, smiled and shook hands with Xiao Xi and said hello.

The three of them drove back to the hotel.

——Lin Family——

Lu Nanyin hung up the phone and poked the food in the bowl with chopsticks angrily. Qin Zhi, who was sitting opposite her, looked at her like this, smiled and handed her a bowl of soup.

Lu Nanyin came back to her senses, took the soup, smiled at Qin Zhi, thought about what Chu Ling had told her, and considered how to start the conversation.

"Her mother's memorial day is in a few days. Did she tell you?" Unexpectedly, Qin Zhi would bring up this matter. Lu Nanyin nodded and drank the soup slowly.

Qin Zhi stood up, took two bottles of wine, poured himself a glass, and talked to himself.

"You know what? I haven't been out of the house for many years. So many things have happened in the past few days that I can't sleep well every night. When I looked in the mirror this morning, I found that I had a lot of white hair, my skin was dull, and there were more fine lines around my eyes. I realized that so many years have passed. I know Lin Yuan told me about me. I only hate why I didn't make a firm choice to leave, so that there wouldn't be so many things. I hate even more why I got pregnant? Why should I give birth to him? Let him face the outside world's discussions and be looked down upon by everyone.

When he was little, Chen'er would ask me why his father didn't like him and only liked his sister? Why did his classmates at school look at him badly? Why..." Qin Zhi's tears flowed down as she spoke, and she drank the wine in the glass.

Lu Nanyin sat down next to her, patted her on the back, and comforted her: "It's not your fault. They were too much and too cunning. It's hard to guard against them. She said you had someone you liked at the time, right?"

"Yes, I had just graduated from college and fell in love with a senior from another college."

Qin Zhi drank one glass after another. She drank one and a half of the two bottles of wine and was already very drunk. Lu Nanyin helped her back to her room.

"That... there is... something very important over there. You... give it to Lin Yuan. She... must need it. Believe me... it's in the cabinet at the very back of the closet. The key... the key is... in the pocket of that gray coat..." Qin Zhi fell asleep after he finished speaking.

Lu Nanyin opened the cabinet as she said and took out the things that Qin Zhi wanted to give to Chu Lingxian.

At this moment, the door opened and Lin Yi came back.

Lu Nanyin hurried back to Lin Yuan's room, made sure the door was locked, and opened the file. The contents inside shocked Lu Nanyin, and she immediately called Chu Lingxian.

As time passed, Lu Nanyin became more and more anxious, muttering: "Answer the phone, answer the phone, hurry up..."

Chu Lingxian answered the phone, "Lu Ying, what's wrong?"

Lu Nanyin was slightly stunned. Lu Ying? Why did she call her like that? Did something happen to her?

After calming down, Lu Nanyin asked her, "Aren't you coming back today?" Her tone was full of complaints and blame.

Chu Lingxian smiled. She really knew what he meant. "I'm in another city tonight and can't make it back."

"Didn't you say you had a headache recently? Have you been to the hospital? If not, go quickly and don't delay treatment."

Chu Lingxian caught the key words in her words: hospital, treatment. What did she find out? Was it related to the hospital?

"I see. It's so late now. Can I go tomorrow? By the way, has my father returned home? If he does, please ask him for me. I heard that something interesting happened at the banquet. There must have been news on his phone about two hours ago. You can also take a look." Chu Lingxian thought about asking Lu Nanyin to ask Lin Yi whether he had read the documents he received.

"Okay, I get it. I'm warning you. You must come back within 96 hours. I must see you in person, otherwise... you will bear the consequences yourself!" After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Chu Lingxian thought about her last words, 96...is there anything special about this number?

Lu Nanyin went downstairs carefully, but didn't see Lin Yi. She asked the housekeeper and found out that he was in the study. She plucked up her courage and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Lu Nanyin pushed the door open with a smile on her face.

"Is there anything... possible?" Lin Yi was puzzled. Why did she come to see him?

"Lin Yuan just said that something special happened during the banquet, and asked you to check your phone for any news."

Lin Yi picked up his phone and looked through it. "What happened at the banquet, nothing special? What Yuanyuan said was..."

Lin Yi suddenly remembered something, opened the file Chu Lingxian sent him and read it carefully, then looked up at Lu Nanyin, "What else did she say? Where is she now?"
