Chapter 220 I really like her
When Jiang Yan got back into the car, Lin Zhenbiao was already sitting in the back seat. Although his facial expression was somewhat serious, there was a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.
"Master Lin, shall we return to the Lin family mansion now?" The butler who came to pick him up turned around and respectfully asked Lin Zhenbiao.
Lin Zhenbiao was somewhat absent-minded, but he had clearly taken the butler's words to heart, and simply waved his hand, "Let's go back to the old house."
"I'm not going back." Jiang Yan suddenly spoke up, her voice indifferent, revealing little emotion. "Grandpa, I'll come find you later."
The butler sitting in front immediately changed his expression slightly. He desperately tried to wink at Jiang Yan, naturally not wanting him to go against Lin Zhenbiao at this moment.
Even a butler like him knew that Jiang Yan wouldn't go back with him at this time; she was definitely going to find Ye Siyi. How could someone as shrewd as Master Lin not guess that? Plus, he had been taken to the police station once, which made him even more upset.
Just by looking at his face, you can tell something's wrong. Young Master Yan is still acting so recklessly; isn't he just jumping into a fire pit?
"Young Master Yan..." The butler hesitated for a moment, about to speak up to smooth things over, but Lin Zhenbiao suddenly waved his hand, signaling the driver to stop the car.
"Come see me tonight." That was the only thing Lin Zhenbiao said to Jiang Yan as she got out of the car.
Jiang Yan responded with an "Mmm" and got out of the car.
After Jiang Yan left, the butler hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Master Lin, regarding this matter, what do you think about Young Master Yan's side..."
"fine."
Lin Zhenbiao's mind didn't seem to be on this. He shook his head casually. "We've already dealt with the previous issues. Besides, the more I try to stop him, the more suspicious he'll become. That kid is smart. I shouldn't interfere too much. Let him go. He won't find anything out. If he really believed Ye Siyi, he wouldn't have hit her in front of me just now."
After hearing his analysis, the butler breathed a sigh of relief. "Mr. Lin, it's good that you've made your decision. You haven't eaten anything all day, have you? I've already had the servants prepare food for you when we get back. As for this matter, should we contact someone higher up and teach that Ye Zhenghao a lesson?"
That Ye Zhenghao is simply ignorant of his own limitations. He's just a lowly inspector, yet he dared to point a gun at Master Lin's head.
They dared to make such a fuss and take everyone to the police station when nothing had happened.
The butler thought to himself that Master Lin was definitely going to give Ye Zhenghao a hard time this time.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhenbiao remained silent for a long time, looking thoughtful and seemingly lost in thought.
The butler was momentarily confused, but then assumed he was thinking about how to teach Ye Zhenghao a lesson, so he offered a suggestion, "Master Lin, actually I have an idea. The Ye family is practically scattered now. Ye Xiongming has gone abroad, and Guan Fengru is now under police protection, making it difficult for us to take action. But as for Ye Zhenghao, we can..."
"Old Ming, go and send someone to investigate Ye Zhenghao's background." The butler said a lot, but Lin Zhenbiao seemed not to have heard a word. He suddenly interrupted him, and the way he frowned told the butler that he took this matter very seriously. "Don't let Yan Hui know about this, and don't touch Ye Zhenghao. First, send someone to find out his background before making a decision."
The old butler was genuinely taken aback for a moment before he realized what he meant and said, "Master Lin, isn't Ye Zhenghao just an inspector? Are you afraid of him...?"
"of course not!"
Lin Zhenbiao impatiently interrupted him. He glanced at the old butler who had been with him the whole time, hesitated for a moment, and then said evasively, "Today I saw something on his arm, and I suspect it's... Lao Ming. It's been over twenty years, and I can't be sure now, so we must investigate his background first. Also, before we find out his background, don't touch anyone from the Ye family. As for Guan Fengru, just keep Yan Hui's information at bay."
His words startled the old butler, who stammered for a long time before finally managing to stammer, "...Master Lin, you...you mean...Ye Zhenghao might be..."
"I can't be sure right now, but no matter how much it costs, you must find out all the details about him. Also, remember, you absolutely cannot let Yan Hui know."
"Yes. I understand." The old butler nodded solemnly, but a sense of worry began to creep into his heart.
How could such a coincidence happen in this world? Or is it all just a misunderstanding?
But for Master Lin now, is all of this a misunderstanding or a good thing?

"Siyi, why don't you rest here for a bit?"
Zheng Muyan took Siyi back to his residence. In fact, he hadn't been there for more than half a month. Although the room was clean, it was lifeless. He was a little embarrassed, worried that Siyi wouldn't be used to it. "There are quite a few things missing. I'll go to the supermarket tomorrow. You don't look too well. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll have someone bring it over."
"Senior brother."
Siyi tugged at Zheng Muyan's sleeve, bit her lip, and said, "Thank you so much for today. Actually, there's something I want to tell you..."
Siyi knew what Zheng Muyan's feelings were for her, but she didn't have those feelings for him at all. She didn't think she could spare a part of her heart for him; she was destined to let him down.
She never felt that she had let him down before, because she believed that love was a matter of mutual affection. But this time was different. He had already gone to S City, and now he had returned to A City because of her.
There were some things she felt she should make clear to him as soon as possible.
Although she knew she was being selfish, she absolutely refused to let her relationship with him become ambiguous...
"What do you want to say to me?" Zheng Muyan sat down beside her and asked softly.
Siyi's hand unconsciously touched her lower abdomen, but her mind was racing with thoughts of how she should start the conversation.
Should I just tell him I'm pregnant?
still is……
A knock came at the front door, interrupting Siyi's thoughts. Zheng Muyan was also taken aback. Who could be coming at this hour? He stood up and said, "I'll go see who it is. You rest in your room for a bit, and don't come out unless necessary."
Siyi nodded, and Zheng Muyan left the bedroom, closing the door behind him. He walked to the front door and opened it, and was quite surprised to see the old man standing outside.
"...Father, why...why did you come here?"
"I'm coming to find you."
The old general was nearing forty, but his back remained straight; only his gray hair and cloudy eyes could not conceal his advanced age.
He stood at the apartment door, squinting as he looked the room up and down, then looked at his son, who was staring at him in shock, and chuckled. "What? You expect me to stand outside and talk to you?"
“No…” Zheng Muyan’s lips twitched slightly, and he quickly made way for the old general to come in. “Father, please come in.”
The old general sat down on the sofa as soon as he entered the room.
Although he was getting on in years, the sharp and imposing air between his brows still made him look domineering.
Even when sitting, he has a straight back and an aura of authority that commands respect without anger.
Zheng Muyan went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water. The father and son sat facing each other. Zheng Muyan thought that his father would not have come all the way from S City to see him for no reason. He carefully chose his words and said, "Father, you certainly didn't come here specifically to see me, did you? Has something happened in S City?"
"I didn't come here specifically to see you. There was a meeting here, so I just stopped by to drop by."
The old man, who had spent his life in the military, always spoke directly and to the point. “When I came here this time, Lao Guo came with me. We talked about your marriage with Xiao Guo. You haven’t given me an answer yet, so I came to ask you.”
“Father, I don’t want to talk about these things now.”
The old general immediately frowned. He didn't mince words and said directly, "I never understood why you were turning down such a good girl and insisting on going to City A. Now I understand. All this fuss is for a woman here, isn't it?"
“Father, now that you know, I don’t want to hide it from you anymore,” Zheng Muyan said bluntly. “Yes, the woman I love is here.”
The old general sighed, straightened his collar, and said slowly, "Mu Yan, I never force anyone to do anything, including your marriage. I've said before that the decision is entirely yours. But I'm sorry, Mu Yan, I've already investigated this woman. She has many ties with the Jiang family. Such a woman is not worthy to be the daughter-in-law of the Mu family in S City. You should know what's more important. You're still called Zheng Mu Yan in public, but you should know very well that in S City, you're called Mu Yan."
"Father, I like her very much."
Zheng Muyan whispered, his tone tinged with bitterness, "That feeling of being unable to control one's own destiny, Father must have experienced it when he was young too."
The old general sighed. He had always felt guilty towards his youngest son.
So we really wanted to train him, but he still lacks the spirit of a hero and is too attached to his love affairs!
“Who in City A doesn’t know the Jiang family and the Lin family? I dare not underestimate this woman who can turn these two families upside down.” The old general looked at Zheng Muyan with a half-smile and said, “Alright, I won’t say much about this matter for now. I know she is in trouble now. If you want to help her, I won’t say anything, but you should know when to stop.”
As the old general spoke, he stood up. The glass of water had remained untouched on the coffee table. He patted Zheng Muyan on the shoulder and said, "The car downstairs is still waiting for me. I'll head back to S City first. I'll give you half a month. Next month, on the twelfth, is Lao Guo's sixtieth birthday. Remember to attend."
Zheng Muyan knew that this was already the biggest concession his father had made, and he dared not ask for anything more at this time, so he could only reluctantly nod in agreement.
