Chapter 62 Harmonica

  Lin Zixian reached out to gently stroke the scratches on Tong Yunan's cheek, who stared at him blankly with tears in her eyes, yet didn't dodge. Lin Zixian's gaze was fixed as he spoke into the receiver: "Help me resolve the local household registration for two people, and find a good kindergarten that has school bus pick-up and drop-off."

  The moment he heard kindergarten, Zhang Zhenhang immediately had a number in his mind. He already had a general understanding of what had happened before, let alone the information about Tong Yun and her mother that he had looked at countless times. With a sigh of relief, this matter might be troublesome for ordinary people, but for him, it was nothing at all. He replied, "No problem, I'll notify you once it's done."

  Lin Zi rarely said a word of thanks and hung up the phone.

  He then held Tong Yunan's face with both hands and solemnly said: "Your gentleness, your kindness, and your beauty are not inferior to anyone. You haven't done anything wrong to others, you don't owe anyone, and you don't have to feel inferior in front of anyone. So from today on, you must hold your head high and be brave in facing everyone, even if it's for Feifei, promise me, okay?"

  "Wuuu..." Tong Yunan finally burst into tears, burying her head in his chest and nodding vigorously as she sobbed uncontrollably.

  After all these years, she finally tasted the feeling of being truly cared for again. The previous humiliation had almost made her collapse, but now she saw hope in life again. The contrast was too great, and she couldn't control her emotions as they turned from sadness to joy...

  The National Security Agency handled things efficiently and within less than half a day, someone had delivered an envelope.

  Then Lin Zixian received a call from Zhang Zhenxing: "The envelope contains their mother and daughter's local legal household registration, as well as an introduction letter for admission to the nearby city kindergarten, with all tuition fees waived. I have already made arrangements with the kindergarten principal, and they can be admitted at any time with the introduction letter. After admission, there will be a school bus to pick them up and drop them off."

  After opening the envelope, Tong Yunan took out the brand new household registration book and bit her lip tightly. When she saw the name "Tong Feifei" written on the admission letter with a bright red municipal government seal, her shoulders trembled violently as she struggled to hold back tears.

  Her daughter has obtained legal status, and her biggest worry in her heart has finally been lifted. Looking at Lin Zixian, she doesn't know how to thank her enough, for her, it's no longer just a simple "thank you" that can repay her.

  With a black plaster on his face, Zhang Beibei took the household register and introduction letter, and suddenly he was stunned, looking at Lin Zixian like a monster. She couldn't imagine what kind of person this Lin brother was, killing so many people, with just one phone call, things were settled, and now even more thoroughly resolving Yu Nang's worries, the speed was unbelievable, it was too incredible.

  Zhang Beibei couldn't help but touch her own face, and she somewhat believed that Lin Zixian's concocted ointment could thoroughly remove the scars on her face.

  Qiao Yun takes a day off every week to rest, adjust her state, practice yoga or taekwondo, but it's rare for her to take two consecutive days off, maybe because she didn't make it to the taekwondo gym yesterday.

  Qiao An Tian, who usually rested for two days a week, only took one day off this time, and the father-daughter duo's routine was disrupted.

  Sitting in the office, Joanne Tian wasn't handling any official business, but was flipping through newspapers. The desk was filled with various news papers from Donghai City, and the TV on one side of the wall was also locked onto the news channel. However, neither the newspapers nor the TV had even a hint of reporting about the murder case, which made him feel strange and puzzled.

  After a while, the office door knocked and the public relations minister of the Ming Hua Group walked in. She was a charming woman wearing black-framed glasses. Qiao An Tian put down the newspaper in his hand, pointed to the chair opposite him and said: "Sit! How's the investigation going?"

  After what happened yesterday, he immediately had his trusted subordinates investigate the incident. The main purpose of coming to work today is for this matter. After all, such a big thing involves oneself, and one can't be unclear about it, right?

  The head of the public relations department sat down and frowned: "Chairman, what you've entrusted me with is a bit strange."

  Qiao An slightly leaned forward and asked: "What did you say?"

  "After receiving your notice, I immediately commissioned a private detective agency to investigate the matter. At first, the agency replied that there was a murder case in a kindergarten in the old town area, but all the witnesses had mysteriously moved away. So I asked them to conduct a deeper investigation, and as a result, they lost contact with me today. Then I personally went to the detective agency and found out that it had been sealed off. I then ran to various departments and learned that the agency was sealed off on the grounds of infringing on others' right to privacy, and several people in charge were arrested."

  Qiao An Tian took a slight breath of cool air and asked in a low voice, "Will the detective agency being sealed off have anything to do with what we let them investigate?"

  "The head of the public relations department nodded and said, 'Chairman, I also think so. Otherwise, it would be too coincidental that they chose to seal off the place at this particular time. I inquired with the law enforcement department and an insider revealed that even they didn't know what was going on. They just suddenly received orders to rush to various locations and arrest people, catching every single one without exception. I requested to meet with the people from the detective agency who were arrested, but none of our old connections could make any decisions, not even the person in charge of the relevant department, who kept evading my questions. That's why I find it strange.'"

  Qiao An Tian fell silent for a moment before waving his hand and saying, "It seems it's better not to intervene in this matter after all. Forget it, let's just leave it at that! You've worked hard."

  The head of the public relations department nodded and left. Qiao An Tian leaned back in his chair, he simply couldn't believe it, this matter had startled some big shot, all the witnesses who saw the case moved away mysteriously, the detective agency was sealed off, various departments and major media all lost their voices, as if the murder case had never happened at all.

  He is also a person who has dealt with government departments for many years and knows that it is common for politicians to fight each other for benefits. Such big things are usually hard to cover up, someone wants to cover up, and someone wants to expose them, using this as a handle to attack each other. However, like this rare case where everyone from top to bottom is tight-lipped, it's a bit too strange.

  Qiao An Tian couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off, and when she thought about Lin Zi Xian's words about handling things himself, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. Could it really be him?

  He thought of his father handing him the phone before he died, saying that when his life was threatened, he could seek help from that person. He suddenly stood up, muttering to himself: "It's him, it must be him... What is Lin Zilei's background? Who is Lin Bao really? There is such a terrifying power in the country..."

  Zhang Beibei's face was scratched, and she didn't want to go out in public, so she took a leave of absence from school and rested at home with Tong Yunan. When others in the Sakura Snow apartment asked about it, they just said that they had encountered some shrews outside and were scratched by them, which made everyone indignant for a while.

  Tong Feifei was frightened and woke up in a poor mental state, so she didn't rush to report to kindergarten either.

  There's nothing else at home, Lin Zi changed into his security uniform and drove straight to the villa on the mountain.

  Arriving at Qiao's house, Lin Zixian directly walked into the living room and saw Xiao Hua sitting on the sofa in the guest hall. He smiled and greeted her: "Hello Auntie Xiao!"

  Xiao Hua suddenly stood up and looked at Lin Zile, her heart aching with anxiety, and said: "Little Lin, why did you do such a foolish thing?"

  Lin Zi stared blankly and pretended not to know: "What did I do?"

  Xiao Hua was speechless for a moment, then became somewhat angry and said: "You've killed everyone, yet you say you haven't done anything. What else do you want to do?"

  "Oh! That thing yesterday!" Lin Zixian sat down on the sofa, nonchalantly waving his hand and said: "At first I was also startled, thinking it was a car accident caused by myself, but the police have already investigated clearly, that matter has nothing to do with me at all, the real culprit has been caught."

  "Car accident?" Xiao Hua was a bit stunned, being confused by him, and for a moment didn't turn around.

  "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here so comfortably." Lin Zixin said with a smile.

  "That's good, that's good." Xiao Hua patted his chest repeatedly and changed to a smiling face: "I said you wouldn't do such a thing, Lin. It was just a misunderstanding, it scared me to death... You sit for a while first, Xiaoyun is changing her clothes." He turned around and pushed the fruit plate in front of him again, inviting him to eat.

  Lin Zi was smiling and picked up a toothpick to pick up a piece of ham, just as she was about to put it in her mouth, she suddenly stopped, unintentionally saw that behind the fruit plate, there was actually a brand new harmonica. The ham slowly entered her mouth, chewing and laughing: "It turns out Auntie can play the harmonica."

  "I don't know this stuff, it's Xiaoyun's, I saw her learning it recently."

  As soon as Xiao Hua's voice fell, the sound of going downstairs came from behind. Qiao Yun wore a suit of Taekwondo uniform, tied a ponytail, and was completely different from her usual style, fresh and beautiful, with snow-white clothes, like walking on clouds.

  She seemed to have heard her mother's words, silently walked over and took the harmonica from the tea table, turned around and glanced at Lin Zixian, only to find that after seeing herself take the harmonica, his eyes were slightly dazed, with a hint of being lost in thought, as if he was thinking about something.

  Seeing Qiao Yun go upstairs again, Lin Zixian stared at her familiar back, and muttered to himself in a trance: "It's a coincidence..."

  "Huh?" Xiao Lin didn't hear clearly what he said, and replied in a daze: "Xiao Lin, what did you say?"

  "Oh! Nothing." Lin Zi woke up with a start and stood up, forcing out a smile: "I'll go send off the car first."

  The armored vehicle drove out of Qiao's mansion, and Qiao Yun didn't let the other bodyguards follow, only bringing Lin Zixian alone.

  Lin Zi occasionally glanced at Qiao Yun in the back seat through the rearview mirror, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Does Director Qiao like harmonicas?"

  Qiao Yun glanced at him in the rearview mirror and didn't say a word, seemingly refusing to answer. Lin Zixian was so depressed.
