Chapter 451: Chapter 442: The Real Source of Excitement

After eating, the group took the elevator upstairs.

Yun Chan noticed Changning seemed hesitant to speak, so she straightforwardly asked, "Miss Changning, do you have something to say?"

"I," Changning first looked at Jiang Lingxi, saw her nodding slightly, then took a deep breath, "I want to meet that Lian Lian."

Yun Chan raised an eyebrow, didn’t ask why, and agreed with a nod.

So everyone went to the top floor.

"I’ve arranged for the two of them to be across the hall for easy surveillance. We live on this side—Lingxi, Chuyue, and Miss Zhengzheng, please come in."

Once inside, Yun Yi sensibly went to the small kitchen to grab drinks from the fridge, while Yun Chan turned on the television in the living room.

She explained in passing, "I installed surveillance across the hall."

The TV screen lit up, and after a simple adjustment, it displayed the scene inside the presidential suite across the hall.

Lian Lian and Li Yan were sitting in front of the coffee table, eating takeout the bodyguards monitoring them had just delivered.

Two vegetarian dishes and a bowl of rice—it looked rather plain, and they ate slowly.

Initially, they didn’t dare touch the food delivered, only daring to drink water from the tap in the room.

Later, when the water was shut off, hungry and thirsty, they finally started eating.

Yun Chan watched their paranoid behavior with a cold eye, full of sarcasm, "I didn’t poison it. Their guilty conscience makes eating feel like swallowing poison."

Soon, Changning’s silhouette appeared on the surveillance.

The two eating stopped their chopsticks, turning their heads in unison to look.

To come in so openly, she must have had Yun Yi’s mother’s permission.

Changning walked to the coffee table, her gaze falling on Lian Lian’s face.

Is this all?

Even she wanted to ridicule a bit, what kind of taste does Yun Yi have?

Lian Lian felt uncomfortable being stared at, moved her lips, "Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important for you to know. I heard you are, Yun Yi’s ex-girlfriend?"

Yun Yi, who just came back with drinks and happened to hear Changning ask this on TV: "..."

He raised his hand to cover his face.

He now hoped more than anyone for his memory to return soon, so he could end this socially awkward feeling.

Changning flicked her fingers, "How did the two of you meet?"

Lian Lian didn’t want to answer, but her mouth betrayed her first, "Online."

"Online dating?"

"Pretty much. We played the same game for about half a year, then met up offline."

"Yun Yi had just gone missing, and you immediately hooked up with his buddy, couldn’t wait?"

A look of struggle flashed across Lian Lian’s face.

Li Yan, on the side, wanted to speak but was stopped by a sharp glare from Changning.

"I, I..."

Changning saw Lian Lian subconsciously place her hands on her belly, realized something, and suddenly reached out, gripping Lian Lian’s wrist.

Although she didn’t learn much from following Wu Jue, she could read basic pulses.

"You’re pregnant!"

In the next room.

Yun Chan suddenly sat up straight, Yun Yi froze, Lu Zhengzheng covered her mouth with her hand, and Jiang Lingxi raised an eyebrow.

"It can’t be this Li Yan across the hall, right? So you two were together long ago?"

Changning didn’t need Lian Lian’s answer, just from their reactions, she could tell the answer.

She let go of Lian Lian’s wrist, pulled out a tissue to wipe her hand, "Impressive, really know how to play."

As soon as Changning stepped out, a doctor who received Yun Chan’s instructions came in to confirm Lian Lian’s pregnancy.

And it had already been nearly two months.

According to previous investigations, the expedition team was just forming, and Lian Lian was still Yun Yi’s girlfriend.

But was pregnant with Li Yan’s child.

Yun Chan’s face turned completely dark.

This stupid son, she truly didn’t want him anymore!

"Pregnant..." Yun Yi, after being stunned, suddenly covered his head and stood up, groaning in pain.

Yun Chan’s expression changed, quickly going to support him.

Changning, who had just returned from the other side, helped hold Yun Yi, who was about to bang his head against the wall from the pain.

Jiang Lingxi looked at Yun Chan, whose face showed both disdain and concern, "Perhaps, this is the trigger."

"It really might be. I didn’t even know so much happened around this kid," Yun Chan chuckled wryly, "Sorry to make you all laugh."

It wasn’t long before Yun Yi fainted from the pain, and Changning coincidentally helped Yun Chan carry him to the bedroom.

After Changning came out, Jiang Lingxi gestured with her hand, "What’s this?"

Changning paused, "Xixi sister figured it out, just a little trick, somewhat like hypnosis, but only works on the mentally fragile. For someone like you, it doesn’t work at all."

"I wondered why you wanted to meet Lian Lian, turns out this was your purpose."

Shen Chuyue leaned over from the nearby sofa, "Let me piece this together. Yun Yi likely found out about his girlfriend’s pregnancy while on the desert adventure, and knew it wasn’t his. Then he realized the relationship between his girlfriend and his buddy, leading to a conflict. Young people, with heightened tempers, probably threw caution to the wind, and either Li Yan or Lian Lian accidentally hurt Yun Yi."

She took a sip of water and continued, "They probably hit his head, thinking they finished him off, and planned to cover it up."

Lu Zhengzheng couldn’t help but interject, "But they contacted the search team later."

"Of course they’d make a big show of looking for him. The two of them were the closest to Yun Yi in the expedition team, so they had to appear the most concerned and urgent, to avoid suspicion."

Jiang Lingxi glanced back at Yun Chan, who quietly listened to the entire reasoning process, and cleared her throat, "It’s getting late, time to return and rest."

At this point, Yun Chan indeed wanted some quiet time alone, "Then I won’t keep you all, go get some rest, and see you tomorrow at the grand show."

*

In the room arranged by Yun Chan.

Lu Zhengzheng and Changning were tidying up the room when the door knocked, Jiang Lingxi stood up to answer it.

Outside stood Shen Chuyue, already changed into cartoon pajamas, smiling and calling, "Cousin sister-in-law."

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

She stepped aside.

Shen Chuyue immediately and comfortably wandered in.

"The TV in my room seems to have a problem. The second episode of ’Inheritance of Calligraphy and Painting’ is airing today, cousin sister-in-law, can I watch it here?"

Jiang Lingxi pointed to the remote on the coffee table, "Turn it on yourself."

"Okay!"

When Jiang Lingxi returned from the bedroom after changing into loungewear, she saw the three people sitting cross-legged in a row on the sofa, just as her voice came from the TV.

That line, ’I prefer the original of Bibo Wanxiang.’

"Cousin sister-in-law, come, sit here!"

Shen Chuyue patted the seat beside her.

Jiang Lingxi glanced at herself on the TV screen and walked over to sit down.

Then she heard Shen Chuyue whispering to her, "Cousin sister-in-law, when I see you saying this, it seems like you’ve actually seen the original of Bibo Wanxiang, but hasn’t this painting been lost for a long time?"

Jiang Lingxi tilted her head to glance at her, "You and Shen Huchen are truly siblings."

Even the questions are the same.

Except this time there wasn’t that Jing Huai on the screen interrupting with forced explanations, so she lightly responded, "Keep watching."

"Oh, oh!"

When the show reached the point where the guests were preparing to imitate, the screen suddenly split in two, with the five judges appearing on the screen.

Shen Chuyue looked at the unmissable celadon color on the left screen, and then at the ink-wash mountains on the white robe of her cousin on the right screen. She was all too familiar with these two outfits.

Now seeing them together, her cousin’s little intention was, tsk, blatantly obvious!

Couldn’t hold back a snicker.

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

She shifted, subtly moving away a little.
