Almost at the sa ti, Leng Lingxiao received a report call from Zhao Renjie.
He said a black sedan had parked behind No. 66, with a tall man and a petite woman. Two minutes later, the man left alone by car, while the woman climbed over the wall and ran towards the pedestrian street at a very fast pace.
"Is the license plate from Jin City?"
"Yes, Jin City. However, we preliminarily believe it’s not Li Zishen’s people; his two are very cautious and have never exposed themselves like this."
"They know you exist and don’t interfere with each other, just fulfilling their duties," Leng Lingxiao said thoughtfully.
"It’s just that Lady Tang is up on the rooftop again, in the sa spot as last ti."
Zhao Renjie sounded troubled, worried sothing might happen. Although the building at No. 66 wasn’t tall, it was an old house that had stood for a century.
If one stepped wrongly and broke a tile, it could be quite dangerous.
"Master, Lady Tang is on the rooftop."
On the phone, Zhao Renjie, seeing that Leng Lingxiao had not yet given his stance, felt the need to remind him again.
"Let her be; it’s fine. Imdiately investigate where that car has been in recent days. Also, check on Jiangbei and Wang Junchen, especially after the banquet ends tonight, all their movents."
"Yes, master, I’ll see to it right away."
Due to the girl’s agility, the bodyguards responsible for Tang Xiaowan’s safety naturally didn’t notice she had co down along the wall from the direction of Tang i’s bedroom.
Not until five minutes later.
Leng Lingxiao received a string of pictures and three ssages from Tang Xiaowan.
"Grandma Tang’s people?"
"They ca out from the third-floor master bedroom!"
After muttering to himself twice, Leng Lingxiao suddenly stood up quickly and left the bedroom.
His mind was in chaos, as if countless images were rushing in at the sa ti; he had to see Tang Xiaowan imdiately and didn’t want to delay another mont.
The SUV raced along the road.
Twenty minutes later, he arrived at Chunlei Street.
Tang Xiaowan and Leng Lingxiao had arranged to et on the rooftop to ensure Grandma Tang wouldn’t discover them.
After all, it was late at night, which brought many inconveniences.
"Tangtang, from now on at night..."
"What is this big yard for? Why is it abandoned?" Tang Xiaowan’s eyes swept towards the garden, not far off, interrupting what Leng Lingxiao was about to say.
"It used to be a fruit wholesale market, then it turned into a driving school, and last year they said a library was going to be built."
"Oh, a library is good, quieter."
"Tangtang, judging by the figure, I suspect that woman is... Lin Xiaoxiao."
That single remark set off waves of shock.
Tang Xiaowan’s eyes imdiately widened.
Leng Lingxiao was also puzzled by this guess, but Lin Xiaoxiao had been personally selected by him. Her height, weight, and even blood type matched Tang Xiaowan’s, all for dealing with ergencies.
In the pictures, her face could not be seen, hidden behind a mask, but her figure was discernible.
"Tangtang, you’re... all right?" Leng Lingxiao asked with concern.
"She’s dead, isn’t she?"
"Yes, Old Zhao personally confird it. I also find it strange. She was your close bodyguard, and when the night attack occurred... If she really managed to survive by luck, it doesn’t make sense then that Grandma Tang..."
Leng Lingxiao trailed off, shaking his head as if to say there was more he couldn’t reveal.
"Shouldn’t what? Keep it from ? Ah, sneaking around, even rushing off to bed."
Tang Xiaowan suddenly felt so lost.
She bit her lower lip, her small hands picking at the tiles, looking pitiful.
In her heart, she knew Grandma Tang loved her dearly; even with her amnesia, she could feel it through their ti together.
She harbored doubts that she shouldn’t have.
"What to do, Huahua? It’s so annoying. Grandma Tang is definitely keeping sothing from ."
"Tangtang, try to recall, on the night you were attacked, was there anything peculiar about the attackers, such as an accent when they spoke, or the way they walked or ran, or when they attacked you... did they use their left hand or the right?"
"The one who hit with the vase was right-handed. I only rember him. Then I was poisoned, I couldn’t hear or see, but..."
"But what?"
"Before I lost my hearing, I think I heard the sounds of a fight. They likely weren’t all together. Also, I just thought of sothing; since that Jiangbei’s eyes seed so familiar, maybe... he could be one of them?"
"Actually, I’ve had suspicions from the very beginning, which is why I wanted to check on him imdiately. But... we still don’t have any substantial evidence."
"He’s not on the sa side as Grandma Tang; she wouldn’t harm , neither would Lin Xiaoxiao."
"Tangtang, actually... don’t worry about it now, just co down," Leng Lingxiao urged. "It’s getting late. I’ll have soone secretly investigate."
Leng Lingxiao never voiced his suspicions about Lin Xiaoxiao betraying Tang Xiaowan.
He suddenly wondered if there might be so hidden truths.
"What about... Lin Xiaoxiao?"
"That’s easy to handle. If it’s really Lin Xiaoxiao, there should be so traces left in the hospital."
Tang Xiaowan nodded thoughtfully.
As the two were about to stand up, holding hands tightly, a bright light suddenly shone from the third floor. Then, the sound of curtains being drawn followed.
"Is that the study?" Tang Xiaowan said, surprised.
Leng Lingxiao quickly signaled her to stay quiet, and the atmosphere instantly tensed up.
