Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 327

Yan Lan never expected to run into Yan Xue and Si Chu here.

Yan Xue's eyes were swollen and red like walnuts. The moment she saw Yan Lan, she was like a powder keg that had been ignited. She broke free from Si Chu's hand.

"Yan Lan! You wicked woman! It's all your fault!"

The sound was so shrill it almost shattered the police station's windows.

Yan Xue was going crazy; her world had collapsed.

Liu Jinnian should have been the richest woman in the future, and she should have been the glamorous Mrs. Liu.

But now, everything is ruined!

Liu Jinnian has become a murderer!

And all of this is because of this damned woman in front of me!

Yan Lan ignored Yan Xue's hysteria and looked past Yan Xue to Si Chu.

The man wore a sharp suit and always had a gentle smile in his eyes, yet it sent chills down Yan Lan's spine.

When they first met, she felt that this person was like a lurking venomous snake, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

"I'm sorry, Yan Xue was just too emotional."

Si Chu nodded politely and reached out to support the swaying Yan Xue.

Just as they were about to pass each other, Yan Lan suddenly spoke:

"Secretary-General Si, do we know each other before?"

Si Chu paused almost imperceptibly.

He turned around, still wearing his perfect smile: "Miss Yan is joking, we don't know each other."

His voice was gentle and polite, but his eyes were as cold as ice.

Yan Lan stared into his eyes, then suddenly smiled: "Really?"

Si Chu's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly, but quickly returned to normal.

He nodded politely and helped Yan Xue, who was still cursing, away.

In the corridor, Yan Lan watched the two figures disappear into the distance, her fingers unconsciously touching her abdomen.

Liu Jinnian's final warning, and the prison network—it all felt like a net that was gradually tightening.

"sister in law?"

Qin Shengsheng's worried voice came from behind, "Are you alright?"

Yan Lan looked away and gently shook her head: "It's nothing."

Qin Shengsheng stood by the window in the police station corridor. Sunlight streamed through the glass onto her pale face, but it couldn't dispel the coldness in her eyes.

Her fingers gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white, as if she could grasp something in doing so.

"I just went to identify the body."

She spoke softly, her voice sounding as if it came from a great distance, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

Yan Lan looked at her quietly, without urging her, and both of them found it difficult to breathe.

"The body was almost...unrecognizable."

Qin Shengsheng took a deep breath, her chest heaving. "The only solution is DNA testing."

Her voice suddenly choked up, and the image reappeared before her eyes—that charred body, where was there any trace of her brother's former spirited appearance?

She glanced at Yan Lan instinctively. Thank goodness... thank goodness her sister-in-law didn't see that scene.

A proud person like my brother would never want his loved one to see him at his most vulnerable.

"The expert report will take a few more days to come out."

Qin Shengsheng forced herself to cheer up and reached out to support Yan Lan. "Let's go back first."

At the end of the corridor, several police officers were escorting Liu Jinnian toward the interrogation room.

As they brushed past each other, Qin Shengsheng bit her lower lip hard to stop herself from rushing forward.

She felt Yan Lan gently squeeze her hand back, warm and firm.

As she walked out of the police station, Qin Shengsheng tilted her head back, letting the sunlight shine on her face, as if that could dispel the gloom brought by the morgue.

She glanced at Yan Lan beside her—her sister-in-law's calm profile looked particularly resolute in the sunlight, but her eyes were as deep as an unfathomable, icy pool.

"Sheng Sheng," Yan Lan suddenly spoke, her voice very soft, "Once the results come out... let's go pick him up and take him home together."

Qin Shengsheng's tears finally broke free. She nodded heavily, the tears falling onto their clasped hands, burning hot as if they would scald their skin.

In the distance, a black sedan slowly drove away.

Behind the car window, Si Chu's gaze lingered on the backs of the two women, his glasses reflecting a cold light.

The two walked to the vehicle, and the driver saw them and quickly opened the car door.

At this moment, Yan Lan suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Sheng Sheng, I accidentally left my phone at the police station."

Qin Shengsheng quickly turned around to look for it.

Hidden danger

Qin Shengsheng rushed back to the police station lobby, but couldn't find Yan Lan's lost phone anywhere.

"Strange, it clearly said it was left here..."

She muttered to herself, and when she went back, the black sedan that was supposed to be waiting had disappeared without a trace. She saw Yan Lan standing by the roadside hailing a taxi.

"Sister-in-law!" she ran over breathlessly, "Your phone wasn't at the police station at all!"

"I just realized my phone was in the car,"

Yan Lan calmly got into the taxi.

"The driver said the tire blew out and he had to go for a quick check-up. Let's go back first."

The taxi slowly drove away from the police station. Through the rear window, Yan Lan saw a familiar black sedan slowly approaching from around the corner.

"waste!"

Inside the black sedan, Si Chu slammed his fist on the steering wheel.

The subordinate on the other end of the phone nervously reported the failure of Plan B.

"Yan Lan is Ou Shen! She could have seen right through your tampering with the car!"

He roared in a low voice, veins bulging on his neck.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then a cautious question was asked.

"Then...should we place an order online? For her..."

"Shut up!"

Si Chu interrupted sharply, "Prison Network has recently been hacked; transactions are impossible!"

His gaze was menacing as he watched the departing taxi. "Keep an eye on her, and wait for my orders."

After hanging up the phone, Si Chu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He took out another phone and dialed a number he rarely contacted.

“It’s me.” His voice regained its usual composure. “The plan has changed, and I need you to take action personally.”

Five million, to make Yan Lan, like her mother, disappear from this world forever.

But soon, Si Chu's expression changed.

"Why? Is the price not enough? I can raise the price."

“Someone wants to protect Yan Lan. If something happens to her, you and I will both be buried with her.”

Furthermore, everything you did in the past will be reported to the top officer.

A cold, mechanical voice came from the microphone, its gender indiscernible.

"Who is the other party?"

How could he know about what happened back then? Was it you?

"Isn't your prison network supposed to be the most confidential? How could you leak customer privacy?"

Si Chu questioned angrily.

No comment.

Also, watch your words. If it weren't for this incident, our prison network wouldn't have been hacked. Do you know how much we've lost these past few days?

The other person's tone revealed dissatisfaction.

After a long while, Si Chu hung up the phone with a gloomy expression.

He hadn't expected Yan Lan to be so difficult to deal with; if he had known, he should have killed her back then.
