Liu Jinfang returned to the room.
In the living room, Aunt Chen brought the medicine box over. Yan Qiang took out the medicinal oil and wanted to rub Yan Ce's forehead, but he put it back.
"Aunt Chen, please rest first. There is no need to be busy."
Aunt Chen returned to her room.
"Didn't you ask Assistant Chen to tell you to wait for me to come back?" Yan Ce looked at Yan Qiang, "If I don't come back, are you going to confess to her?"
"..."
Yan Qiang smiled at him, feeling a little helpless: "I didn't expect that she would just mention this matter without even asking me how I was doing recently. It's not a big deal if it can be solved at home, otherwise I wouldn't go out of my way to reply. A trip home.”
"I've already given instructions to Candy to tell me if anything happens. If Mom goes over this time, she may not come back for a long time."
"She hasn't been back for a long time." Yan Qiang said.
Yan Ce was stunned, raised his hand and rubbed her head, and said, "Brother is here, and I will protect you from now on."
"Would you like to go to the hospital to have a look at your forehead?"
Looking at the swollen bump on his forehead, Yan Qiang felt a little distressed and said, "You were able to hide away just now, why didn't you hide away."
"It's intentional. If you smash it, you won't lose a piece of meat, but it will make her speechless."
Yan Ce patted her shoulder: "Okay, don't worry. What time will you leave tomorrow?"
"The flight is at 8:30. I told Assistant Chen to ask the driver to take me off."
"Okay, go to sleep."
Yan Qiang hasn't slept at Yan's house for a long time.
She spent most of her time on the set, and when she was in Jinghai, she lived in Jiangwan Apartment. She occasionally slept in Jingyuan, and went back to Yan's house very rarely.
Aunt Chen has already cleaned her room.
Yan Qiang was lying on the bed, feeling very sleepy but unable to sleep. When she was hesitating whether to go up and see her mother, her phone vibrated.
An unknown number.
Yan Qiang picked up: "Hello."
There was a sudden chuckle on the other end of the phone.
"It's me. Want to meet? I'm on Jingxi Road now. It shouldn't be inconvenient."
Yan Qiang heard the familiar voice and asked, "Do you know I'm in Jinghai?"
"After all, it's Ning Banxian. It just so happens that you are in Jinghai, so I want to have a late-night snack with you. The logic is perfect, right?" Ning Yuanting always talks like this half-truth, but it makes you feel inexplicably serious.
Yan Qiang looked at the time.
It's very late now.
"Okay. Give me a position and I'll be there in a moment."
…
Jingxi Road, the old neighborhood of Jinghai, has a strong sense of history in its buildings and streets, but the barbecue stalls sticking out from the street give the place a lively and noisy atmosphere.
Yan Qiang met Ning Yuanting at a simple table on the roadside.
He is playing Sudoku on his mobile phone.
Seeing Yan Qiang arrive, he put away his cell phone, asked Yan Qiang to sit down, and took the menu stained with oily smoke from the boss: "Are you used to eating, Miss?"
"Not that particular."
Yan Qiang ordered what she wanted to eat and handed the menu back to Ning Yuanting: "Second brother, please give me more?"
Ning Yuanting ordered some more.
Not much, enough for two people.
"This barbecue restaurant is good." Ning Yuanting said, "I used to eat here often."
Yan Qiang looked at him with some confusion.
Ning Yuanting smiled: "Are you surprised?"
The simple tables and plastic chairs are completely different from the aristocratic style. Yan Qiang stayed with the crew and often saw them using the plastic chairs as a dining table with a small bench.
But according to Ning Huanhuan, her second brother is quite particular.
Yan Qiang nodded: "I'm surprised."
"What I'm going to say next may surprise you even more." Ning Yuanting took a bottle of water from the side and gave it to Yan Qiang, "Listen up."
Yan Qiang looked at him.
"Huo Shirui was the mastermind behind Ning Yinyin's 100-day banquet, but he was not the only one."
Ning Yuanting was not surprised to see the surprise in Yan Qiang's eyes and laughed, "You are a member of the Yan family and one of the victims that night. You should know."
"The victim is my brother." Yan Qiang said.
The implication is that after these words, he should talk to Yan Ce.
"He is the appearance, you are the target. Let me review it for you."
Yan Qiang asked, "Brother Ning already knew that something would happen that night. Since you knew about it in advance, why didn't you arrange to inform it in advance?"
Ning Yuanting was surprised: "Did Ning Huanhuan tell you?"
"Yes." Yan Qiang said, "Huanhuan said you didn't know what to do until that night, so you didn't participate."
Ning Yuanting nodded, "If you have any questions, please ask them."
Yan Qiang wanted to know what happened that night, but she didn't think Ning Yuanting asked her out for supper late at night just to tell her about it.
After being silent for a while, Yan Qiang looked at Ning Yuanting: "Brother Ning, why did you tell me this?"
Just as Ning Yuanting was about to speak, Yan Qiang said again: "For another reason."
"..."
Ning Yuanting choked.
"I have my purpose, but I can't tell you yet. This is my little secret." Ning Yuanting blinked at her, "Do you still have any questions?"
"Second brother, tell me."
There weren't many people outside at this place, and the barbecue was served quickly. Ning Yuanting pushed these in front of Yan Qiang before speaking.
"Huo Shirui is the mastermind, and Su Wanzhen is the one who fuels the flames."
Yan Qiang raised her eyes.
"After Huo Qi took Ruan Yin away, he drugged Huo Shirui. Su Wanzhen blocked the guests going to the back, allowing Huanhuan to meet Yan Ce."
Ning Yuanting looked at Yan Qiang, "But Ning Zicheng's medicine was given by Huo Shiqian."
"Why?"
Yan Qiang was already surprised when Su Wanzhen got involved. She obviously didn't believe it when she heard Huo Shiqian's name.
"Huo Shirui was on the front line. Since the plan failed, she must offend the Ning family. Huo Shiqian knew about Huo Shirui's traditional Chinese medicine, but she didn't want Huo Shirui to sleep with Yan Ce, and in order to prevent the Ning family from attacking the Huo family, she gave Ning Zicheng took the medicine."
Things are confusing.
"Why do you say it was Su Wanzhen who was adding fuel to the flames?"
Yan Qiang felt that Ning Yuanting's words were inconsistent.
Su Wanzhen blocked the guests from going to the lounge at the back, giving Yan Ce time to buffer. How could this be adding fuel to the flames?
"You saw her that night, right?"
"I've seen it."
"Ruan Yin is a knife in her hand," Ning Yuanting said. "Do you think she would be willing to marry her knife to Yan Ce?"
Yan Qiang's spine trembled.
Ruan Yin is a knife in Su Wanzhen's hand?
How can this be!
Su Wanzhen is obviously disgusted with Ruan Yin!
"This is wrong." Yan Qiang shook her head, "Ruan Yin cannot be the knife in Su Wanzhen's hand. Huo Shiqing's dead Ruan Yin——"
She stopped suddenly.
Ning Yuanting raised her eyebrows: "This incident shouldn't surprise you so much. Could it be that Huo Shiqing's death was not just an accident?"
"No, go on."
Yan Qiang was still in disbelief.
I find it ridiculous, but if I think about it carefully, I think it's not impossible.
Ning Yuanting didn't ask any further questions. If she didn't want to talk about it, he couldn't force her to do so.
He's not that kind of person.
"With such a carefully sharpened knife, who do you think is the most suitable to stab with this knife?" Ning Yuanting asked Yan Qiang.
