Chapter 144: Chapter 138: Unusual Behavior
Yin Hao sat across from Leng Yichen, watching his somber face with a faint smile, a smile he had maintained ever since he entered and saw Bai Yiran.
The two remained at an impasse for a long time until Yin Hao finally spoke, "My dear nephew, your wife is very beautiful."
"Thank you." Leng Yichen didnât want to spar with Yin Hao; he knew todayâs visit from Yin Hao was not that simple.
"Last time, Xiao Shen nearly beat someone to death and was taken to the police station because of her, wasnât it?" Yin Hao adjusted his sitting position, leisurely crossing his legs, "I had to work very hard to get that troublemaker out."
Leng Yichenâs brow furrowed slightly, he hated it when someone connected Bai Yiran with other men, especially with Yin Tianshen.
"Just say what you want to say, everyone is very busy." Leng Yichenâs voice was cold and gloomy.
Yin Hao raised his eyebrows, erasing the smile from his face, "Everyone is indeed very busy. I havenât troubled you, so donât look for trouble with me. Weâve been at peace for so many years; letâs not disrupt this tranquility. After all, that matter has passed."
A sneer appeared on Leng Yichenâs face as he looked at Yin Hao like he was a big joke, "Whether itâs in the past or not is not for you to decide. I make the call!"
Yin Haoâs face darkened. After staring at Leng Yichen for a while, he suddenly burst into laughter, stood up, and walked toward the door, "Good! Very good! You are indeed her son!"
Leng Yichenâs expression suddenly froze, "You are not worthy of mentioning her!"
Yin Hao suddenly halted at the door, turned around, and smiled, as if reminding or threatening, "A murder case occurred in the East City District, doesnât your little wife work over there? Have her be careful!"
Leng Yichen abruptly stood up from his chair, but Yin Hao had already walked out with a smile.

Back at the Bai Family, Bai Yiran felt uneasy, constantly feeling that Leng Yichen seemed to be carrying a heavy burden.
One sunny morning, Xu Hua lay in bed, her pale face barely managing to squeeze out a smile as she saw Leng Yichen at the door, "Darling, come here~"
Leng Yichen seemed startled by Xu Huaâs appearance, walking over with trepidation, "Mom, whatâs wrong with you?"
"Mommyâs fine." Xu Hua stroked Leng Yichenâs head, her eyes filled with reluctance, "Son, in the future, you must listen to your dad, grow up healthy and strong, then marry a beautiful, pure, strong girl as your wife, and have a lovely child..."
"Mom, what are you talking about? Iâm still a middle school student!" Leng Yichenâs face turned red with embarrassment as he looked at his mother in bewilderment.
"Mommy wonât be able to be with you..." Tears welled up in Xu Huaâs eyes as she embraced her precious son with one hand, while the other remained hidden under the thick quilt.
"Mom, whatâs wrong with you?" Leng Yichen uncomfortably broke free from his motherâs embrace, "Iâm already this big, donât hold me like that anymore!"
Xu Hua felt a bit disappointed, yet more than that, she felt gratified, "Yes, my son is so big already..."
"I promised to play basketball with my friends, I must go now." Leng Yichen couldnât wait to leave his motherâs room.
"Go ahead, be careful..."
Xu Hua watched Leng Yichenâs departing figure, her reluctance submerged by the tears that burst forth.
If Leng Yichen knew this was the last time he would see his mother, he wouldnât have pushed her away, wouldnât have complained to her, wouldnât have been so eager to leave.
However, it was too late. When he returned from playing basketball, what he saw was Xu Huaâs lifeless body and the bed and blanket stained with blood, with photos scattered all over the place.
Leng Yichen stood dumbfounded at the bedside, leaning down to pick up the photos on the floor, they were all photos of Yin Hao!!
He suddenly looked up, only to see Xu Huaâs eyes, unwilling to close even in death, and the horrifically striking slash on her wrist!
The bedside lamp shone brightly, illuminating the dark bedroom. Leng Yichen suddenly sat up in bed, fine sweat covering his forehead, breathing heavily in panic.
Beside him, Bai Yiran was awakened, rubbing her eyes as she sat up to look at Leng Yichen, "Whatâs wrong with you?"
Leng Yichen looked blankly at Bai Yiran, then got off the bed and rushed into the bathroom. He splashed his face with cold water, leaning on the sink, trying hard to steady his breathing.
"Leng Yichen..." Bai Yiran turned on the bathroom light, looking at Leng Yichen with concern.
Leng Yichen raised his head, seeing Bai Yiranâs reflection in the mirror, this beautiful, pure, strong girl, his wife!
Turning around, Leng Yichen wrapped his long arms around Bai Yiran and her heart full of concern, seeking warmth and comfort.
