Free Web NovelChapter 921: Chapter 918: Poisonous Hand 5
"They’ve been reporting to me the tracking results these days, saying that some valuable small items and some cash were missing from Donglin’s office, and so the conclusion given was burglary and murder..."
Barging in for theft, and even firing a gun?
It’s amazing they came up with such a poor excuse.
However, the suspect has been caught, and everything proceeds according to the law.
"Everyone knows that this excuse is fake, but what else can be done? Even the poorest excuse needs to be found, otherwise, there wouldn’t even be a fig leaf... Actually, everyone knows this in their hearts."
Lao Long’s downfall and the arrest of the stock market guru are all part of the same thread... It’s just that all the fuses have focused on Wan Donglin, becoming a massive focal point.
"... The stock market guru has been arrested. I think Old Zhou will at least keep quiet for a while..."
Yan Xixi was genuinely worried: "Empress Dowager, can you manage alone?"
Liu Daqing said calmly, "What can they do to me?"
Yan Xixi hesitated, yet still said firmly, "Empress Dowager, maybe I should stay. Education is important, but Brother Donglin is more important. There’s plenty of time to study later. I want to stay with Brother Donglin until he’s fully recovered..."
Liu Daqing said kindly, "That’s right, education indeed isn’t urgent, it’s a lifelong matter. But Harvard won’t wait for anyone."
Yan Xixi stared blankly, "Between Harvard and Brother Donglin, I’d rather choose Brother Donglin."
Liu Daqing laughed, "Silly child, some sacrifices are utterly worthless. What good does it do staying with Donglin?? It’s just for your own comfort. I’m here, what are you afraid of? Besides, you’ve seen the situation at home. After this storm, we need talent even more. You’ll study hard and become Donglin’s greatest helper in the future, isn’t that better than wasting time with him for nothing now?"
The reasoning is sound, but how can one’s heart be so rational?
"Empress Dowager, is Brother Donglin really safe?"
"Rest assured, they dare not make another move since they failed the first time. At least during this period, Donglin is absolutely safe."
Yan Xixi exhaled softly.
"Xixi, go to school with peace of mind, I’m here even if the sky falls. Besides, right now, the sky won’t collapse..."
Liu Daqing did not hide from her, "You must have seen those increased security measures, rest assured, I won’t be negligent either. As for them, to make a show, they’ve sent people to strictly control hospital access. At this time, would he dare to make a move and invite trouble?"
Yan Xixi whispered extremely softly, "Is Old Zhang really reliable?"
"Whether he’s reliable or not doesn’t matter, what matters is if Donglin dies, he won’t get what he wants. What he’s protecting is not Donglin, but what he needs, do you understand?"
Yan Xixi was at a loss for words.
She recalled the "mysterious gift" she sent to Zhou Ting—no one knew the effort she put into this gift. In fact, since learning about Zhou Ting’s company, she hadn’t stopped keeping tabs on her. Until Wan Donglin’s mysterious disappearance, until Yang Wei and others kept pressuring... Until after the two reconciled, Wan Donglin almost unreservedly told her many things.
At that time, during that week they traveled together, in a quiet hotel abroad, in beautiful valleys, he was so honest with her for the first time—almost hiding nothing.
