Chapter 1321: Trouble, Worry
Chapter 1320 â Trouble, Worry
An Jianwen and the professor got out of the police station without much trouble- they were the victims, after all, and after just asking about the process of them getting scammed, she let them go!
The problem now was that, while Scorpion had confessed, the money was gone! This really troubled her- according to Scorpion, he was of the Red Sconces. His purpose was to pull money for the group, and also gather information for them!
The Red Sconces were causing a lot of trouble these days in Songshan, and so she didnât doubt the words. Even the special division couldnât catch that group, let alone Songshan. It wasnât her place to think about that. She did all that she could do to stop the arena.
She put her effort into the grave robbing after the case settled- she needed to use all her strength for this, fighting mind games with them!
After the arena, Yufeng kept coming to her office day after day, annoying her- but there was nothing she could do. She hoped that Lin Yi would come to break his legs so he could leave!
âLingshan, finally done, right? I saw the papers, a complete victory! Congratulations, youâve done it again!â Yufeng kept looking at Lingshan- Lingshan was saying that she was busy with a case, but now that it was done, there was no excuse she could use to reject him now!
âItâs thanks to everyone,â Lingshan said flatly. âYou need something?â
âI booked a table at Starlight Restaurant today, and Iâm thinking of celebrating with you. How is it? You have time tonight?â Yufeng smiled.
âSorry, not tonight- another case came in.â Lingshan waved to indicate the files. âI need to work overnight tonight. We can talk about it next time.â
âThatâsâŠâ Yufeng felt troubled- Lingshanâs words made his face grew a little irritated. But then, Lingshanâs reason was completely justified. He could only grit his teeth. âAlright then, Iâll be leaving!â
Looking at Yufengâs figure, leaving. She frowned. This person was annoying and kept chasing her. While she could push him away now, but what if time went on? Heâd lose his patience one day, so what would he do when that day came?
She might have to confront House Yu then, but what about House Song? Her mood turned sour at the thoughtâŠ
If there wasnât this marriage, even with Lingshanâs âpotentialâ, their spot in the noble house community would be taken for granted. It made her happy, but the thing with House Yu changed everything! On the surface, they had Yu support, which would make them stronger, but she didnât like him!!
If she didnât have anyone she liked, then fine, she could go with it a bit for the sake of her house, but the problem was that she did have someone! She wouldnât go with him if that was the case!
But then, the confrontation came! They couldnât just back out of the marriage! This was about the reputation of the house!
If it were the Yuâs asking to cancel, then her house could handle that. Since House Yu was the stronger house- people had to listen to them!
But if it was the weaker House Song asking for cancelation, who knew what would happen? What would House Yu do amidst their anger?
A knocking came outside. Lingshan sighed. âCome in!â
It was Chen Yutian- he had been invited by Lingshan to talk about the graverobbing.
âLingshan, whatâs wrong? Whatâs with the frown?â Yutian had given up on Lingshan, but he still cared about her, noticing the slightest change in her.
He had to ask why she had that face on.
âYutian Bro, you came!â Lingshan forced on a smile. âItâs House Yuâs Yu Feng! He came again, booking a table at a restaurant saying he wanted to celebrate with meâŠâ
âAgain?â Yutian frowned. âCanât he tell that you donât like him?â
âHe can, but so what?â Lingshan shook her head, âYou were able to tell too, but you kept coming, didnât you?â
âI⊠Thatâs different, at least I wasnât so persistentâŠâ Yutian said, feeling abit awkward. âBut he seems to keep pressing on regardless?â
âWho knows? I donât know how Iâm supposed to say no to himâŠâ Lingshan said. âThe noble house meeting is coming up, and I donât want House Song and House Yu to be on opposite sides. That would hurt usâŠâ
âWhat about this, Iâll talk with Yu Feng? Weâre both men, so itâs easier that way. Iâll ask him to let go on his own, backing off- this wouldnât cause any trouble to both your houses!â Yutian said after a sigh. âTheyâd keep their face if itâs House Yu canceling it!â
âIt wonât work. Yu Feng is different from you- heâs someone who doesnât stop until he reaches his goal. In his eyes, I see plenty of desire- he wonât give up that easily.â Lingshan smiled bitterly, âHeâs an unreasonable man.â
âNo matter what, we can still try?â Yutian also had an idea of what the guy was like from Lingshanâs description. Tyrannical and unreasonable- he just wanted to shoulder some of the responsibility with Lingshan.
âItâs fine. I donât want to drag your house into this.â Lingshan waved her hand. âYour House Chen is in trouble, too- itâd be good if you guys could keep your positionâŠâ
âMaybe I can talk to Lin Yi about this and see if he has some way?â Yutian thought bout it.
âAfter a while- he seems to be really busy nowadays,â Lingshsan said, âIâll continue pushing him away first. Weâll think about it if he continues.â
Lingshan wasnât truly a girlfriend of Lin Yiâs yet, and she didnât even know if he was willing to get involved. She wanted to develop some feelings with him first, making it easierâŠ
