Chapter 240 The truth gradually emerges (1)
Xiao Chuhan was alone in the study, thinking about some things that happened recently. Xiao Chuhan habitually wrote down his doubts on paper, trying to sort out his thoughts. At this moment, there was a light knock on the door, and then Xingye's figure quietly appeared at the door. He respectfully reported: "Master, Xingye has something to report."
Xiao Chuhan raised his head and stared at Xingye with a sharp gaze. His tone was calm but carried a dignity that could not be ignored: "What's the matter?"
Xingye responded in a deep voice: "I found out that Yueyin has a daughter. Just a month ago, her daughter suddenly disappeared. Yueyin has been looking for her daughter, but she has never found her. I suspect Jing'er is the person Yueyin is looking for."
After hearing this, Xiao Chuhan couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He silently repeated "Yue Yin's daughter is missing" in his heart, trying to connect this new information with the clues he knew so far. At the same time, Yue Li's abnormal behavior today also surfaced in Xiao Chuhan's mind - she was not only out of character, but also seemed to be hiding something from him and Lan Xi.
Since the day Lan Xi brought Yue Li back to the mansion, Xiao Chuhan had doubts about Yue Li's true identity. Although Yue Li and Lan Xi were inseparable, like conjoined twins, Xiao Chuhan knew that Lan Xi's kindness and innocence did not mean Yue Li was also innocent. Now, Yue Li's increasingly nervous appearance only exacerbated Xiao Chuhan's doubts.
When Lan Xi wanted to leave to inform Xiao Chuhan that it was not appropriate to go out today, Yue Li stopped her firmly and did not let her leave. Lan Xi looked at Yue Li, her eyes full of concern and understanding: "Yueli, don't be nervous, I... I just want to tell Xiao Chuhan that we will not go out today."
After hearing this, Yue Li frowned slightly, but finally relaxed. She looked at Lan Xi and said, "Okay, in that case, then go ahead. But please come back as soon as possible, I'll be waiting for you here." After saying these words, Yue Li's expression seemed unusually serious and determined.
Lan Xi nodded to Yue Li, and just as she was about to leave, she happened to meet Xiao Chuhan who was walking to the door. The two looked at each other, and the air seemed to freeze in an instant. Xiao Chuhan had an elusive expression on his face, and Lan Xi looked at Xiao Chuhan in front of her.
"Chu Han, why are you here? I was just about to look for you!"
"I have something to tell you, please come out for a moment."
Lan Xi turned around and looked at Yue Li behind her. She smiled slightly and said softly, "Li'er, wait for me. I want to talk to Chu Han about something."
Afterwards, Lan Xi was concerned about Yue Li's safety and couldn't help but remind her, "Remember not to run around. Wait for me here."
Yueli nodded obediently and responded, "Okay, Sister You'er."
Xiao Chuhan took Lan Xi's hand, and the two walked to a quiet pavilion in the courtyard and sat down. After confirming that Yue Li did not follow, Xiao Chuhan's expression became solemn. He took a deep breath and slowly asked: "Has she... revealed her true identity to you?"
Lan Xi shook her head slightly, with a look of confusion and puzzlement: "No, she only told me her name was Yue Li. She also told me that if I went out today, there would be a bloody disaster, so I had to stay in the house today." As she spoke, Lan Xi couldn't help but feel a little scared, as if she was still frightened when she recalled the situation at that time.
Hearing Lan Xi's description, Xiao Chuhan's doubts grew even more intense. He stared into Lan Xi's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Xi'er, do you know the person we have been looking for? Her name is Yue Yin. And the woman you brought back is named Yue Li."
After hearing this, Lan Xi was stunned and repeated the name: "Yue Yin... Yue Li..." She murmured to herself, trying to sort out the relationship. In an instant, Lan Xi seemed to understand something, and looked at Xiao Chuhan with eyes full of surprise and confusion.
"They are related, right?"
Xiao Chuhan nodded and continued to explain: "Well, during my investigation, I learned that Yue Yin had a missing daughter. And I suspect that Yue Li, whom you brought back, is Yue Yin's daughter."
After hearing this, Lan Xi couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at Xiao Chuhan in disbelief: "Could there really be such a coincidence in this world?" Her heart was full of doubts and confusion, but also mixed with a hint of indescribable excitement.
