Chapter 114
Ye Lingxi was taken aback when she heard this, "They're all dead?"

"Yes." Qian Wanjin nodded with certainty, "I found several people who went to suppress the bandits with the city lord of Qianjiang City at that time to check. Their statements are very consistent, and there should be no mistakes."

"The daughter-in-law of Duke Zhong's mansion was kidnapped by gangsters. This was a big deal at the time. Ji Linyuan searched all over Linyue City, and he was only three feet away from digging the ground, but he never found you."

"Later, the scope of the search was expanded, and the emperor also issued an order to ask the lords of the cities to send people to search."

"According to those people, the city lord of Qianjiang City gathered his troops to exterminate the bandits after receiving the emperor's order. Before he went, he was also prepared for a bloody battle with the bandits, but after arriving, he found out , those mountain thieves are already dead."

Qian Wanjin clicked his tongue when he mentioned this, "It's strange to say that, the people who went to the scene to participate in the bandit suppression explained that those bandits were not hacked to death, but were all poisoned to death."

"Everyone's seven orifices are bleeding, their bodies are black and purple, their eyeballs are popping out, and dozens of corpses are lying on the ground. I can't even think about that scene..."

Qian Wanjin clicked his tongue, took another sip of tea, and suppressed the nausea in his chest, "Those mountain bandits usually burn, kill, plunder and do all kinds of crimes, and they deserve it when they die."

"No one is going to find out how they died. Anyway, the final result is that the city lord led people to suppress the bandits and wiped out the bandit den."

"Those corpses were burned on the spot, so when they found this place, the clues were cut off."

Ye Lingxi lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment and said: "This pendant was searched out from the bandits' lair, which is enough to prove that even if those bandits were not the one who took me away, they were also after I was taken away." contacted me."

"Or... After I was taken away, I was hidden in the bandit's den."

Qian Wanjin nodded, "This speculation is correct, but you don't remember what happened back then, and those bandits are all dead, and even the bandits' dens have been burned clean, which means that there is no evidence for death. "

Qian Wanjin sighed: "I originally thought that as long as I found the bandit's den and found a bandit inside, I would be able to ask clearly what happened back then, but I didn't expect such a result in the end."

"It's impossible to follow the clues, but there is one more thing, I think it's too coincidental, it's better to let you know."

Ye Lingxi raised her eyes to look at him when she heard the words, and saw Qian Wanjin put on an extraordinarily serious expression, and lowered her voice, "The surname of Qianjiang City's owner is Shi."

"Your second aunt Jiang has an older brother, and his wife is also surnamed Shi."

Ye Lingxi thought of something, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, "Are they a family?"

"Yes." Qian Wanjin replied, dipped some tea on his fingertips, and wrote two names on the desk.

Shi Luoxue.

Shi Luofeng.

His fingertips clicked on Shi Luoxue's name, "This is the name of Jiang's sister-in-law."

"This man," he moved his fingertips down, pressing on the three words Shi Luofeng, "he is Shi Luoxue's real brother."

Ye Lingxi narrowed her eyes and stared at the two names on the table. After a long silence, she twitched her lips and said, "That's really a coincidence."

Qian Wanjin spread his hands, "Anyway, the relationship between them does exist. As for whether they have anything to do with the incident of your being taken away... There is no evidence, and it is hard to say anything. I just Just to remind you, it's always right to be more careful with your second aunt."

"It's better that she has nothing to do with that matter." Ye Lingxi's voice was not high, but cold and menacing, "After all, I don't want my second uncle to really become a widower."

When Qian Wanjin heard this, he didn't react for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help shivering immediately.

Her second uncle became a widower?

Doesn't that mean that if Jiang Shi was really instigated by Jiang Shi when she was kidnapped back then, then she would—take Jiang Shi's life!
It's already the beginning of summer now, the weather is getting hotter every day, and it's noon again, the hottest time of the day, there is bright sunlight shining into the room through the window, but Qian Wanjin feels a little chill all over his body for no reason.

Women are not easy to mess with.

A woman who is capable but also knows how to play poison, and who can kill someone at any time is even more difficult to mess with.

Qian Bailiang wrote him a letter some time ago, saying that Ye Lingxi is talented and beautiful, and although she has a son, it would be great to marry her into the family.

When he saw the letter, he felt that his brother was a little too naive.

Ye Lingxi is good, but on the other hand, there are quite a few men who miss her, such as Ji Linyuan who has waited for her for several years and still has no regrets, and the emperor...

I gave her all the honored guests of Qiongming Villa, and even sent a personal guard to send a plaque for the opening today, which is definitely very related.

No matter how capable he is, can he compare with these two?
Then again, even if Ye Lingxi was willing to marry, he wouldn't dare to marry such a woman, he simply couldn't subdue her!Wouldn't it be a crime for yourself to marry back home?

Qian Wanjin was in a daze for a moment, and Ye Lingxi had already stood up, "Although the clue was broken in the end, it has helped me a lot to not be able to find out the relationship with the Shi family."

"It's been so hard for you to track it down for so long. I owe you a favor. If there is anything I can help in the future, just ask."

"It's a shame to say that." Qian Wanjin also stood up, "We are business partners together, and we should help each other."

Ye Lingxi was not too polite with him, just nodded with a smile, kept the favor owed to him in her heart, then changed the subject and asked: "I see that you came here in a hurry, and you haven't eaten lunch yet. Right? If you don’t mind, I’ll eat here at noon, and I’ll treat you to the restaurant at night.”

"I came all the way from Qianjiang City. I thought I could catch up with your opening in the morning, but who knew that there was a problem with the carriage on the way, and it was delayed until noon."

Qian Wanjin followed Ye Lingxi out of the study and said, "I must stop by your place for lunch, but I won't let you treat me at night."

"The opening of your medical clinic is a great event. I have already arranged it. I have reserved a private room in Zuixianlou. The chef of his family will cook the dishes himself. Tonight, you bring all the family members with you, and we will go and eat together. A meal to celebrate."

Ye Lingxi heard what he said to this point, so she didn't refuse any more and smiled in response, and even joked, "A meal of home-cooked food is exchanged for a table of Zuixianlou's feast, no matter what counts. I earned it."

The two went downstairs talking and laughing. As soon as they got downstairs, they saw Lianqiao smiling and whispering to Mama Li.

Ye Lingxi walked over and asked casually, "What a good thing happened to me, and I laughed so happily."

"Miss!" Lian Qiao greeted her, the smile on her lips couldn't be suppressed no matter what.

Concerned that Qian Wanjin was by her side, she couldn't speak clearly, so she moved closer to Ye Lingxi's ear and lowered her voice, "Miss, I just heard the news that Ye Qingwan has woken up, but in this case, It's more worrying than she has been in a coma before!"
