Chapter 155: A Dead Man
Chapter 155: A Dead Man
The sun was blazing, the heat was unbearable. It was already noon when Lin Qingyan dragged her heavy steps back to the mansion.
It was midsummer, the weather was extremely hot, and she had been walking all the way here, already sweating and panting. As soon as she got home, she asked the servants to prepare toiletries, intending to wash herself thoroughly to eliminate her physical and mental fatigue.
After the servants left, Lin Qingyan slowly took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub. The warm and moderate water wrapped around her body, making her feel comfortable and relaxed.
Perhaps it was because it was noon and people were easily sleepy; or perhaps it was because she had not eaten in the morning and was extremely tired, but not long after, she fell into a deep sleep in the bathtub.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Qingyan suddenly noticed something strange. Although she was in a deep sleep, her extraordinary five senses were still sharp. She realized that someone had entered the room, and she couldn't help but feel alert.
Almost instantly, Lin Qingyan opened her eyes and tried to get dressed. But before she could get dressed, a figure crossed the screen and walked straight towards her.
"Yan'er, why didn't you come to see me today?" A low and magnetic voice came, which made people's hearts ripple.
Lin Qingyan, however, dived into the water quickly like a turtle, leaving only her head exposed, with a hint of panic and embarrassment in her eyes.
It turned out that the person standing in front of her was the original owner's servant. He had an upright figure, a handsome face, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. However, at this moment, this smile made Lin Qingyan feel a tingling sensation on her scalp.
"Ahem...you go out first. I'll come find you after I'm dressed." Lin Qingyan tried to send him away, secretly praying in her heart that he would cooperate with her.
However, things did not develop as she expected. The waiter chuckled and said, "Hey, Yan'er, what can't we meet? Why are you so fussy about details?" After saying that, he actually stepped forward and untied the belt of his coat with both hands, as if he wanted to have a romantic time with Lin Qingyan.
This action scared Lin Qingyan so much that her face turned pale in an instant and her voice became extremely anxious: "Wait a minute! Don't take it off! Don't come over! Get out quickly!" As she spoke, she warned the other party with a frightened look, hoping to stop him from taking further action.
Faced with Lin Qingyan's resistance, Shijun didn't seem to care. Instead, he continued to approach her with an ambiguous light in his eyes.
"Someone come here!" Lin Qingyan's eyes widened with anger, and her voice unconsciously rose an octave.
However, the servant ignored her warning and continued to do as he pleased. Lin Qingyan had no choice but to shout at the top of her lungs.
In an instant, two dark shadows flashed across the originally peaceful room. This sudden change stunned Lin Qingyan and the servant.
Lin Qingyan thought to herself: Could it be that someone secretly hired a killer to kill me? Thinking of this, she didn't care about much else and prepared to rush out of the room, dress up and fight these killers to the death. Just as she turned around, the two men in black knelt on their knees at the same time, clasped their hands together, and shouted in unison: "Greetings, Young Master!"
This dramatic scene stunned Lin Qingyan. She widened her eyes and was at a loss for a moment.
She and the servant looked at each other, both of them were filled with astonishment. Seeing this, Lin Qingyan hurriedly said, "Take him out for me!" As soon as the words fell, two people acted quickly. One of them grabbed the servant's arm and lifted him out as if he was carrying a huge cross.
Lin Qingyan took advantage of this gap to quickly jump out of the bath, wipe her body and put on her clothes. When she walked out of the room again, the waiter had disappeared without a trace, and only the two women in black were left in the yard.
Lin Qingyan looked at them and couldn't help but ask, "You two are dressed like this in the middle of summer, aren't you afraid that your bodies will be covered with maggots?"
The two men in black who thought she would ask about their identities were stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond. They thought to themselves: Why didn't I realize that this young master was so... humorous and interesting before?
"Ahem..." Lin Qingyan coughed twice, and after calming herself down, she asked, "Who are you? Why do you call me Young Master?"
She had been naughty for a while just now, but now she finally became serious and prepared to deal with the matter at hand seriously.
After some questioning, Lin Qingyan learned that these two people were actually the assassins she had bought in her hometown! You know, according to common sense, in Jinguodi, only members of the royal family are qualified to have assassins.
So the question is, how could the original owner, a commoner, subdue them so easily?
Recalling the scene when she first read the script, Lin Qingyan couldn't help but feel confused.
At that time, she felt something was wrong - a prime minister of a country could be easily deceived by a small businessman with no background, and he didn't even realize that his son was crazy. Now that she thinks about it, she is afraid that the original owner is not as innocent as described by 250.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingyan couldn't help but feel a little worried about 250's situation. Where is that stupid dog now? Is he safe? A series of questions came to her mind, making her feel even more depressed.
Putting all the unpleasantness behind, thinking of Ling Nianxiao, the most urgent task now should be to get rid of the Minister of Revenue.
If she wanted to get rid of her, exposing her daughter's crimes was inevitable, but at the same time, she didn't believe that she knew nothing about her daughter's crimes. She thought it was possible that she was also cleaning up the mess for her daughter.
Then the only way is to find a way to get close to the Queen and gain her trust.
Trust, trust, how to get it? Lin Qingyan was thinking and glanced at the two people still standing in the yard.
"Do you two usually follow me?"
"Yes, young master."
"Don't call me Young Master. You two are the only ones who call me Young Master. I was just happy just now, thinking that I have at least dozens of people under me. Just call me Master."
"Yes, master."
"Go down." Lin Qingyan waved her hand.
In the blink of an eye, the two people disappeared in the yard again, but this lightness skill was still not good enough in Lin Qingyan's eyes. Looking at their disappearing figures, Lin Qingyan had a flash of inspiration.
Yes! War! War costs money, and she is a businessman. If she can cooperate with the Queen and become a royal merchant, providing money to the Queen, that would be fine.
But what to do? There are so many ways, and I really don’t know what to do for the moment. But now that I have an idea, I don’t have to worry about the future.
Lin Qingyan, who had come to her senses, suddenly felt a little hungry, so she asked someone to bring her some food.
