Shi Man roughly understood what had happened back then. She placed her fingers gently on his shoulder. “Then, your grandmother went over to save her, but she didn’t expect them to bury a bomb in advance.”
Yi Zheng lowered his eyes dejectedly and nodded. “Yes.”
Shi Man thought about the cause and effect carefully. “You just said the Lin family? Yao Jing married into the Lin family. Then does this have anything to do with the Lin family?”
Yi Zheng shook his head firmly and said, “Yao Jing and her husband, Lin Wei, are from the side branch of the Lin family. They’re ostracized by the Lin family. The main family is the organizer of the banquet that I brought you to last time, so this matter shouldn’t have anything to do with them.”
Seeing that Shi Man still seemed to have concerns, he explained, “The current head of the Lin family is my father’s good friend. You can interact with them without worry. Moreover, isn’t your third brother in an ambiguous relationship with the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Yue?”
When she heard the first half of the sentence, Shi Man put down her worries and said, “Oh.” However, when she heard the second half, she felt that this matter had changed!
What did he mean by her third brother and the eldest daughter of the Lin family were in an ambiguous relationship?
Shi Man widened her eyes in dissatisfaction. Just as she was about to retort that her third brother was not a small celebrity who would fool around in the entertainment industry, she suddenly remembered Shi He’s hesitant expression last night and was suddenly not so sure!
“Wait!” Shi Man stopped Yi Zheng.
Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her as if he was watching a good show.
Shi Man swallowed nervously and muttered hesitantly, “How do you know this? Are you paying attention to the entertainment industry?”
“I don’t pay attention.” Yi Zheng shook his head and denied it without hesitation. Under Shi Man’s increasingly suspicious gaze, he smiled helplessly and explained patiently, “1 don’t pay attention to the entertainment industry. I heard this by chance. If you care very much, you can investigate it yourself.”
“We have to investigate!” Shi Man was really afraid!
After experiencing the first two incidents of her brothers being deceived and threatened by women, no one knew better than her how innocent her brothers were in terms of relationships!
She had to be careful not to let anything happen to her next brother!
If Lin Yue really liked her brother, she would naturally give her blessings. However, if Lin Yue had other motives, then she should not blame Shi Man for targeting the entire Lin family.
Yi Zheng looked at Shi Man’s conflicted and cute expression and knew what she was thinking. He helplessly pulled her up from the ground and shook the dust off the blanket with a smile. “Let’s go. I’ll send you home first. Don’t stay here in the cold wind.”
“There’s one more thing.” Shi Man had almost forgotten to ask about the most important thing in the Xi Ying incident. “Why did Yao Jing and the others have a bomb? Where did the bomb come from?”
This was not something that ordinary people could come up with.
Shi Man couldn’t help but suspect that there was a dark force behind these two.
Yi Zheng’s eyes turned cold as a sharp glint flashed across them. “This is why I established the Blood Oath. I want to set up a dark force to find the third person who might have participated in the kidnapping back then.”
“But you haven’t found out yet, right?” Shi Man frowned. Seeing Yi Zheng’s self-reproach and anger, she couldn’t help but comfort him. “You can’t be blamed for this. You were still young when this happened back then. Your grandfather and father should have been the ones investigating this.”
Yi Zheng shook his head gently. His fierce eyes were covered by his long eyelashes, making it impossible to see his expression. “No, I’m useless and can’t avenge Grandmother, but I won’t give up. Now that the entire underground business in G City is in my hands, 1’11 find that person sooner or later!”
Shi Man opened her mouth and said hesitantly, “Is there a possibility that that person is no longer in G City?”
“I’ve thought of this possibility too.” Yi Zheng slowly turned the thumb ring on his thumb, and the crease between his eyebrows became a deep ravine. “But I keep feeling that that person will definitely return here. He must have his reasons for helping Lin Wei and Yao Jing. Back then, the cause of that case was to fight for that contract, but even if Grandmother died, that contract would still belong to my family in the end.”
“So you guessed that that person’s goal was actually not achieved at all. He must still be waiting for an opportunity in the dark?” Shi Man carefully considered this possibility and felt that this explanation made sense, but she felt that she had overlooked some very important information.
No matter how she thought about it, she could not remember what that strange feeling that lingered in her heart was. She could only not think about it for the time being.
The afternoon was at its peak, but Shi Man still couldn’t feel any warmth in the cemetery. She suddenly felt a little cold and couldn’t help but shrink her neck. “Let’s go back first. It’s time for the bandage on your leg to be changed. I’ll send you back to the hospital.”
Yi Zheng couldn’t help but laugh. He raised his hand and warmed her cold fingers. He teased, ���In the past, I was the one who sent you home. This time, it’s your turn to send me.”
“That’s right..” Shi Man deliberately retorted angrily, “Who asked my fiance to become a vulnerable person now?”
