Some things can be done but cannot be said.
Especially considering Bai Ziyan's past relationship with Li Qianfan, which was one of friendship.
Now, not only did Jiao Yin openly call herself Li Qianfan's servant in front of her, but she also asked Bai Ziyan to call Li Qianfan "Uncle."
This—
Even though Bai Ziyan knew last night that Li Qianfan had stayed overnight at the Flowing Pavilion, and he had been promoted from a friend to an "Uncle," she still couldn't accept the reality of Jiao Yin asking her to call him Uncle.
"Call him Uncle!"
With her face flushed red, Bai Ziyan shouted and then turned to run.
Jiao Yin, however, said sternly, "Stop!"
Bai Ziyan, who had only run a few steps, immediately froze in place as if struck by a paralysis spell.
Her fear of Jiao Yin was bone-deep.
"Master, please don't blame her."
When Jiao Yin looked at Li Qianfan again, her eyes were filled with tenderness. "Since childhood, I've been neglectful in my upbringing of her, spoiling her."
Li Qianfan was full of embarrassment.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something to Bai Ziyan, but he didn't know what to say.
Jiao Yin looked at Bai Ziyan and said lightly, "Yesterday, when I asked you to pick up Master, what did I tell you? You can disobey me, but don't ever tell anyone that you are my daughter. And don't forget how your current comfortable life came to be."
Bai Ziyan bit her lip hard, then slowly turned, lowered her head, and walked quickly towards the living room.
"Master, please don't blame her."
Jiao Yin took Li Qianfan's hand and caressed her own leg. "Ziyan understands everything and knows what to do. She just can't accept the change in status in such a short time."
Li Qianfan smiled awkwardly. "Actually, there's no need for her to call you Uncle."
"That won't do."
Jiao Yin said, "Letting her call you Uncle is already my greatest concession. If it weren't for her… unusual orientation, hmph."
Hmph about what?
Li Qianfan was full of confusion.
Jiao Yin whispered into his ear, "At night, I'll be on your left, and she'll be on your right."
Embracing both sides!
Li Qianfan understood, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
For any man, to have the peerless Jiao Yin and Bai Ziyan embracing him on either side would be a blissful life that even an immortal wouldn't trade!
"Please give me some time, Master. I will slowly guide her."
Jiao Yin linked her arm with Li Qianfan's and stood up, walking towards the living room. "If I force her now, even if she has to comply, her instinctive reaction will surely dampen Master's interest, which wouldn't be good."
What a wonderful woman.
To have such a servant, what more could a husband ask for?
In the living room.
The table was set with a simple yet exquisitely presented breakfast, boasting an array of colors, aromas, and flavors.
Li Qianfan sat on the sofa—
On his left was Jiao Yin, and on his right was Bai Ziyan.
Bai Ziyan, who was still lowering her head, was dressed identically to Jiao Yin.
A white cotton robe, paired with crystal-heeled slippers.
The hem of the robe fell, revealing four slender, bare legs, completely at the mercy of Young Master Li's whims.
He felt as if he were dreaming. Despite his efforts to remain composed, he found himself smiling foolishly from time to time.
Who wouldn't be overwhelmed?
A simple breakfast took a full hour.
The concept of "chewing slowly and swallowing deliberately" was exemplified to its fullest extent.
After the meal.
Jiao Yin massaged Li Qianfan's left leg, while Bai Ziyan, still with her head bowed, massaged his right leg.
Alas.
This damned blissful life!
"Master, I strongly agree with letting Ziyan accompany you to the Blackwater Forest."
Jiao Yin said, "As long as we plan it well, there will be no danger. Think of it as a leisurely trip abroad for sightseeing."
Before she could finish speaking—
Bai Ziyan stubbornly said, "I'm not going! If you want to go, you go with your Master!"
Jiao Yin's expression changed.
Li Qianfan quickly said, "Alright, alright, don't argue. That is, if Bai Ziyan doesn't want to go, then she doesn't have to."
Jiao Yin said with some urgency, "But besides her, I can't think of anyone better to accompany you."
After she said this, she fell silent.
Because Li Qianfan suddenly realized something and was looking her up and down.
Jiao Yin and Li Qianfan met gazes for a moment, and she tentatively asked, "Master, you wouldn't actually believe this brat's nonsense and let Mei Nu accompany you to the Blackwater Forest, would you?"
Li Qianfan nodded. "I think it's possible."
Huh?
Jiao Yin's expression changed, and she hurriedly waved her hands. "I'm not going! I'm just a weak woman with no strength to even bind a chicken. If I were to go there and encounter any danger, wouldn't I be doomed?"
Li Qianfan immediately frowned.
If Jiao Yin had volunteered to accompany Li Qianfan to the Blackwater Forest, he might not have let her go.
But precisely because she was afraid of death and refused to go!
Li Qianfan felt compelled to force her to go.
If she didn't even obey the Master's words, what kind of good servant would she be?
As Li Qianfan's expression darkened, Jiao Yin immediately dared not speak.
She was even trembling with fear.
"Bai Ziyan, you may go first."
Li Qianfan picked up his teacup and said to Bai Ziyan in a low voice.
Bai Ziyan did not utter a word. She stood up and quickly returned to the bedroom.
She changed her clothes at the fastest speed possible, then cast a complicated glance at Li Qianfan before heading straight out the door.
After she left.
Li Qianfan raised his teacup, held it above Jiao Yin's head, and slowly tilted it.
The lukewarm tea immediately poured over her head.
Jiao Yin shivered but dared not dodge.
At most, she could only plead with a trembling voice, "Master, please do not torment Mei Nu."
Li Qianfan said coldly, "Prepare yourself. You will accompany me to the Blackwater Forest."
"Master—"
"En!?"
"Yes, Master."
Jiao Yin dared not meet Li Qianfan's gaze and could only obediently succumb to his oppressive might.
Outside the window.
The wind was still howling.
It had turned into sleet.
The temperature continued to drop.
In such harsh weather, curling up in bed with a drama series would undoubtedly be a pleasure.
Especially with Su Nanyin's right heel still swollen.
However, an unexpected incident had forced the assistant general manager, An Ren, to personally lead a team to secretly rush to Jinmen.
To thoroughly investigate the truth behind the origin of the mutated red-eye disease!
The sky.
Gradually darkened.
Su Nanyin, staying in a hotel room, had been on the phone almost the entire day.
Her brows were furrowed as she continuously wrote and drew on paper.
After the red-eye disease appeared.
Su Nanyin, like Li Wujiang, had immediately suspected the Dark Web of causing trouble!
This was because the Dark Web itself was a "specialist" in studying the red-eye disease for years and had benefited greatly from it.
Furthermore, due to the high infectivity and extreme danger of the red-eye disease to human safety, the Eastern Continent would certainly pay close attention.
In places unseen by ordinary people, countless machines began to operate at high speed.
Dark Blade, led by Li Wujiang and Su Nanyin, was just one of those many machines.
Especially—
"Since it concerns that brat, if I don't go all out, who else can I count on?"
Su Nanyin put down her pen, rubbed her temples with her left hand, and sighed softly.
*Buzz buzz buzz.*
Her phone, which had been charging, vibrated again.
Su Nanyin immediately picked up the phone.
"Deputy Chief Su!"
A man's voice, tinged with obvious excitement, came from the phone. "We've finally found the legendary, that certain woman!"
Su Nanyin's eyes immediately flashed, and she asked, "Where is she?"
"She's in our car."
The subordinate replied, "When we went to find her, she was about to go out for dinner, and we apprehended her directly into the car. No one noticed, and she won't be detected by surveillance cameras."
"Good. Huzhi, you've done well."
Su Nanyin praised him and then ordered, "Take her to a secluded place. I will interrogate her personally."
There was a reason she didn't have them bring the certain woman to the hotel.
One.
The hotel was a place with a lot of people coming and going, unsuitable for interrogation.
Two.
The area was densely populated, and no one could guarantee that innocent civilians wouldn't be infected by the certain woman.
Three.
Su Nanyin had been cooped up in the hotel all day. As reports from various parties indicated the situation was becoming increasingly severe, she grew more agitated and wanted some fresh air.
However.
As Su Nanyin, wearing a trench coat, hobbled out of the hotel and was hit by the cold wind, she shivered violently and immediately regretted it.
But she had already given the order, so she couldn't casually change it.
With Su Xin's support, Su Nanyin stepped into the car.
Su Xin knew she was cold and immediately turned on the heater.
Her car, protected by two vehicles in front and behind, drove through an intersection. Only then did Su Nanyin feel much better.
But her injured heel began to itch and throb.
"That brat, we'll settle this score sooner or later."
She cursed silently, took off her right shoe, and began to rub her foot with her hand.
Eight o'clock in the evening.
In a废弃厂房 on the outskirts.
As Su Nanyin got out of the car, she gently pushed away Su Xin, who was trying to help her.
She endured the pain and walked into the factory with a normal gait as much as possible, surrounded by Su Xin and others.
What was this factory used for?
Where had the factory guards gone? Su Nanyin wouldn't consider these questions.
After entering the factory, she looked at the certain woman.
The certain woman's mouth was taped shut and she was sitting on a broken chair.
To prevent her from causing trouble, her hands and feet were tied to the chair.
She couldn't speak.
She could only stare at Su Nanyin, who was walking in, with eyes full of fear and redness.
The first time she saw Su Nanyin.
This woman, who was also quite attractive, instinctively felt a sense of inferiority in her reddened eyes.
Su Nanyin's figure and appearance were not inferior to Shen Chongchong's, but more importantly, her noble aura was simply too powerful.
"Deputy Chief Su, please have a seat."
Su Xin brought over a chair that had already been thoroughly cleaned and spread a windbreaker on it.
Su Nanyin gracefully sat down and casually propped up her injured right foot.
Her brown knee-high boots tapped lightly.
To prevent the certain woman from suddenly attacking, and more importantly, due to the risk of contagion, there was about a five-meter distance between them.
The Dark Blade members who had brought her also wore leather gloves and masks, strictly protecting themselves.
Su Nanyin asked, "Huzhi, did you ask on the way here?"
"We did."
Huzhi replied, "She admitted to having an improper relationship with the man in the photo several months ago."
Huzhi said this and then opened his phone.
The photo on the phone was none other than Li Qianfan.
Su Nanyin then asked, "Does she know what this man's name is?"
Huzhi replied, "She clearly told us that this man's name is Li Qianfan. Li for Li, Qianfan for Qianfan competition. Moreover, Li Qianfan also told her that he is the eldest young master of the Li family in the Four-Nine City."
Heh heh.
Su Nanyin chuckled silently and raised her hand. "Knife."
Su Xin immediately took out a short knife from her waist.
Su Nanyin took it, weighed it, and her left hand, clad in a delicate leather glove, slowly brushed across the sharp blade.
She stood up and walked towards the certain woman.
Su Xin immediately said worriedly, "Deputy Chief Su."
Su Nanyin raised her hand, signaling Su Xin to remain silent.
She held the knife and walked to the front of the certain woman.
The certain woman immediately realized something and began to struggle desperately, emitting muffled sounds from her mouth.
Su Nanyin looked down at her like this.
For a full three minutes.
The certain woman, perhaps sensing that Su Nanyin had no intention of harming her, stopped struggling.
However—
Su Nanyin suddenly raised the knife.
And fiercely stabbed it into the certain woman's left leg.
*Puff—*
As the sharp blade sank three inches deep, blood instantly spurted out.
