"What are you thinking about? Not saying a word?"

Bai Shishi looked at Lin Tian's pensive expression through the rear-view mirror and asked.

Lin Tian said seriously, "Miss Bai, I've suddenly thought of something. I didn't quite understand it at the time, but now I understand a bit!"

"What is it?" Bai Shishi asked.

"Do you remember the bank incident? Back then, I asked you who you suspected, and after thinking it over, you said your father and brother?"

Lin Tian paused, then continued, "At that time, I thought it was impossible, even a bit laughable. How could your father and brother harm their own kin? But after visiting your home today, I feel that what you said was absolutely spot on!"

"Since I said it, there must be a reason?"

Bai Shishi gave a self-deprecating smile, a smile filled with indescribable helplessness.

"I've been suspecting Du Dahai and Wang Quan, but now I don't think so anymore!"

Lin Tian took the matter very seriously, believing that in such large families, people could do anything for money.

"What do you think now?" Bai Shishi asked as she drove.

"I think..."

Lin Tian hesitated, afraid to continue speaking, because what he was about to say would not be pleasant for anyone to hear.

"Go ahead, I won't be angry with you!"

Bai Shishi gave a bitter smile, "I want to hear if what you're thinking is the same as mine!"

"I think that either your father or your brother values Xianglong Tea House and the cosmetics company highly. Although I don't know the annual profits of these two companies, I believe they would be enough to tempt your family, so they use family rules to pressure you into handing over Xianglong Tea House, but Miss Bai, you surely refused!"

"And you've probably refused more than once or twice, so maybe your father or brother couldn't hold back any longer and hired someone to try to kill you!"

"But if they directly attempted murder, it would be too obvious or make people suspicious. So, under the pretense of a bank robbery, they took hostages and used the opportunity to kill someone. That way, no one would guess the true ultimate goal of the one behind it all!"

Lin Tian took a deep breath, finally understanding the kind of grand scheme that was enveloping Miss Bai: "Thinking about it now, the mastermind must have been truly meticulous!"

"That's how it is with large families!"

Bai Shishi sighed, yet instead of getting angry, she smiled and said, "The two of us have thought alike!"

"Big families come with lots of complications and troubles!"

Lin Tian exhaled deeply. Initially, he was fifty percent suspicious of Du Dahai and fifty percent suspicious of Wang Quan. Now, Wang Quan and Du Dahai make up fifty percent, and the Bai Family makes up fifty percent.

"Since we're on this topic, I actually want to ask you another question!"

Bai Shishi said in a deep voice, "If you had to choose a suspect between my father and brother, who do you think it is?"

As soon as she said that, Lin Tian could feel the atmosphere in the Benz turning icy.

It was clear Bai Shishi's mood was very bad at that moment.

"Miss Bai, should I really say it?"

Lin Tian hesitated, facing conflicts of emotions and money, Bai Shishi seemed stuck in the middle, finding it difficult.

"Say it, I've already been hurt by them, there's nothing I can't bear to hear!"

Bai Shishi said with hidden meaning in her words.

"If I had to choose between Miss Bai's father and brother, I would suspect your brother!"

Lin Tian said without hesitation, revealing the most suspicious person.

Bai Shishi asked, "Reason?"

"If anything happened to Miss Bai, the person who would benefit the most is undoubtedly your brother. He could rightfully inherit Xianglong Tea House!"

Lin Tian provided a very convincing reason.

As for Miss Bai's father, no matter how much he wanted to take back Miss Bai's tea house, if she didn't allow it, he wouldn't use force.

After all, a daughter and a son, both are dear to his heart.

A father wouldn't risk his daughter's life for money.

This was something Lin Tian had already noticed and observed in the Bai Family.

Bai Tianlong had always been negotiating and persuading Bai Shishi.

If Bai Tianlong wanted Bai Shishi's life, would he really need to negotiate and persuade? That would be unnecessary.

As for Bai Shishi's brother, Lin Tian didn't know him well.

But at the first meeting, he gave off a gloomy impression.

From start to finish, he didn't say a word, except when persuading Bai Shishi to hand over Xianglong Tea House.

It was clear that he was someone skilled in scheming, and it was obvious he was very concerned about Xianglong Tea House.

This was something even Miss Bai had mentioned and confirmed from her own mouth.

In conclusion, considering various factors, Bai Jiaming is the most suspicious person!!!

Bai Shishi glanced at Lin Tian, "Once again, we thought alike!"

"But Miss Bai, after all, he's still your brother, so how do you think this matter should be handled?"

After all, Lin Tian was responsible for investigating the bank incident, but now the person under suspicion was Bai Shishi's brother, so he needed to consider her stance.

"Brother?" Bai Shishi sneered, "He's my half-brother. We didn't grow up together, there's no affection, only interests involved, so handle it as you see fit!"

Once Bai Shishi said that, Lin Tian was shocked.

A big family, indeed it's messy!!!

If you factor in the condition of being half-siblings, Bai Jiaming's suspicion increased by another ten percent.

No feelings, another ten percent increase.

So, in terms of the bank incident's mastermind suspect, Bai Jiaming now takes up seventy percent.

From a data perspective, the mastermind is Bai Jiaming!

"Miss Bai, the main suspect now is your half-brother, but it's just suspicion. I'll investigate the matter after the exams and give you a satisfying answer!"

Lin Tian promised.

Actually, this matter wasn't part of his duties, but recalling when he was unconscious, Bai Shishi took care of him day and night without sleeping.

Moved.

After he awoke, Bai Shishi busied herself around him, even personally serving and feeding him.

Moved.

All along, Bai Shishi had been the best person to Lin Tian, better than his own parents.

Moved.

If someone is good to me, I'll be good to them.

That's why Lin Tian was willing to take on the investigation himself.

Moreover, deep down, Lin Tian had feelings for Bai Shishi...

"Don't let this burden your mind; the urgent task now is to focus on the exams, that's the priority!"

"Let's not talk about those unhappy things, you've had enough laughs today!"

Bai Shishi smiled slightly, changing the subject, "By the way, where are you getting your admission ticket from?"

Lin Tian immediately replied, "From First High, to First High!"

"First High, that's close!" Bai Shishi stepped on the gas and sped towards First High.

About half an hour later, the Benz stopped at the entrance of First High. The entrance was packed with cars, likely parents picking up their kids...
