C146 (2/2)

Jiang Chan's joy gradually faded. As she mulled over Jin Xiaolou's last sentence, she had a nagging feeling that suspecting that something had happened to the Lin'er was not a simple accident.

Anxious, he called Si Rui, who was slightly more quick-witted, into the house.

Clutching his heart, he only said that he was afraid.

Si Rui stroked Jiang Chan's back: ”Don't be afraid, there's no proof in this matter. Boss Jin won't be able to grab onto our heads no matter what, she will only be grateful to you for saving her son's life.”

”But, but everyone knows that Lin'er is clever, and would never jump into the pond by himself, thus the butterfly became a method to hide his evil intentions, I am afraid that Boss Jin will continue to search for the paper butterfly.” Jiang Chan looked like she was afraid.

”Wouldn't that be better?” Si Rui said, ”We were just worried that we wouldn't be able to hold that wet clothes, since the butterfly had already drifted away with the water, although the girls in our shop are extremely talented, but no one can compare to her. If we say that the butterfly was folded by her, then there will definitely be people who will believe it.”

Si Rui continued: ”Star Flame, can set the prairie ablaze. The speck of doubt in the spark could also burn a person's heart. At that time, no matter how wet clothes and mouth he had, it would be hard to explain. Once this gap is planted into the shopkeeper's heart, it will grow roots and sprout. Humph, from then on, you are the only one who will become famous in Linlang Workshop, so the number one position will naturally be yours. ”

Just as Jin Xiaolou walked to the front of the house, she heard Lin'er coughing uncontrollably.

Hurriedly pushing open the door and entering, Lv Yun anxiously cleaned up the filth on the side of the bed.

Seeing that Jin Xiaolou had returned, she immediately said: ”Innkeeper, not long after you left, Lin'er spat out all the medicinal herbs he had drank.”

”Lin'er is awake?” Jin Xiaolou walked up to him and saw that inside the blanket, Lin'er's face was red from choking so much that he did not cry at all. He only opened his eyes wide and looked outside.

Seeing Jin Xiaolou, her mouth pouted. She wanted to cry, but she did not cry, instead reaching her hands out towards Jin Xiaolou.

Jin Xiaolou hugged Lin'er, ”It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake!”

As he said that, his lips lightly touched Lin'er's forehead: ”It's just that this soup can't be consumed and still has a fever. It's probably very uncomfortable.”

Lv Yun felt her heart ache as she saw this. She quickly took a honey jar and dipped a pair of chopsticks into it, sending it into Lin'er's mouth. ”Eat some honey.

”You can't have the heart to harm others, you can't let your guard down.” Jin Xiaolou suddenly rushed towards Lv Yun, ”We have to be more careful around Lin'er, especially those few people like Jiang Chan, be especially careful not to let them near Lin'er's body, and also not let Lin'er get out of our sight.”

”Jiang Chan?” Lv Yun was shocked, she originally did not like Jiang Chan and the others, but after saving the Lin'er, she was grateful towards Jiang Chan from the bottom of her heart, and even her past prejudices had disappeared, she only wanted to repay Jiang Chan with everything she had.

”In my opinion, there's a high chance that Jiang Chan was the one who pushed the Lin'er into the water.” Jin Xiaolou's face sunk, and her voice became softer, ”The first floor's Dazhang Pass is in the middle of the pond, and has a stage. If you stand on the other side of the pond, you can see the person, but you can only see the adult's thighs, a child as young as Lin'er will definitely be completely blocked by the shelves, and not even the hair on the top of his head will be visible.”

Lv Yun was shocked, she had never noticed this before, but she knew it was true.

”But just now, Jiang Chan told me personally that she was at the other side of the pond, and when she saw that Lin'er was about to fall in, she rushed over without a care for anything else and jumped into the pond to save him.” Jin Xiaolou said faintly, ”If Jiang Chan stands on the other side of the pond, she won't be able to see that the Lin'er is about to fall into the water. If she can see the Lin'er, then he can only stand by his side …”

Lv Yun sucked in a breath of cold air, ”She … She had such a vicious heart. How could such a young child harm her? What exactly is it for? ”

”For what?” Jin Xiaolou laughed coldly, ”All you can do is to fight for the position of Linlang Workshop's number one in front of me with pride in your face.”

Lv Yun stopped and carefully thought about it, this was indeed a motive, and cold sweat dripped down layer after layer. Most probably from the moment Xi Yu pulled him to wrap up the dumplings at the Linlang Workshop entrance, she had fallen into their trap.

”Shopkeeper, we'll report it to the officials!” Lv Yun said, ”Pay off your debts, kill people to repay them with your life! We have to make them pay for their actions! ”

Jin Xiaolou shook her head: ”We have no proof, reporting about officials is futile.”

”Then what should we do?!” Lv Yun panicked, ”We can't just bypass them like that! Who knows what they might do with their hearts! ”

”We'll go with the plan.” Jin Xiaolou paused for a while, and then continued, ”Give them what they want, and tell them to walk right into my trap.”
