Chapter 497: The Secret That Was Hidden

Burger was an extremely sticky cat. When it heard little Tong Hua’s voice, it jumped down the sofa excitedly, ran over, and surrounded little Tong Hua. It used its tail to hook onto him. Tong Hua carried it up, and Burger kept meowing. It was as if it was talking to him. Both the person and the cat were very happy.

Zhong Ran said, “Miss Shen, Little Master, you all came home really late.”

Shen Qianshu smiled. “There was some traffic on the road.”

For some reason, she felt that Ye Ling was not very happy, though she did not know why. It was difficult for her to ascertain why he was unhappy. Seeing them, Zhong Ran covered his mouth to laugh. Little Tong Hua carried Burger and fell onto the sofa together. They laid down together like pieces of salted fish.

Ah Da came in with a solemn expression. “Young Master, I have something I want to report to you.”

Ye Ling got up expressionlessly and followed Ah Da to the floral hall next door. Ah Da said in a low voice, “Today when I went to fetch Miss Shen and Little Master, I saw a person. It was the herbs businessman from Ghost City that we had checked on the last time. He is Lin Xiaojuan’s father. His name is Lin Kun.”

Ye Ling’s face darkened, and his expression was extremely fierce. “Are you sure about this?”

“Absolutely!”

Ah Da said softly, “The last time when Zhong Ran investigated Doctor Shen’s background, I thought of a piece of inconspicuous news. It was Doctor Shen who introduced the dispensary of traditional Chinese medicine to the hospital. After Doctor Shen passed away, this businessman also broke off all ties with the hospital and stopped the supply.”

“What was the name of this businessman?”

Ah Da said softly, “I have not checked yet.”

Ye Ling’s gaze was extremely cold. Why are there so many people from Ghost City surrounding Shen Qianshu?

“Want to check?”

Ye Ling replied. “You look at his attitude. Does he have any bad intentions towards Shen Qianshu or Tong Hua?”

Ah Da shook his head slightly. “Never. He likes Miss Shen and Little Master a lot.”

“Then it is not necessary to check.” Ye Ling frowned. “Only… ”

Ah Da said in a low voice, “There is a group of people from Ghost City around Miss Shen, but she doesn’t know anything. Since Lin Kun is most likely someone from the Ghost City, then what about Lin Xiaojuan?”

“Is this all a coincidence?”

“Can it be that Miss Shen is also someone the Ghost City and that she has been hiding from you all along!” Ah Da could only think of this possibility. This would be a reasonable explanation. Old Master Qian had practically appeared out of the blue and made a clean sweep of the casinos. Shen Qianshu was once in financial straits, but she transformed into a millionaire. This was definitely not a coincidence.

If Miss Shen was from the Ghost City, but she acted like she knew nothing about the Ghost City, then it was hidden too deeply.

Ye Ling’s gaze darkened and looked at Shen Qianshu, who was talking to Zhong Ran in the living room. Shen Qianshu was full of smiles and looked radiant and warm. Little Tong Hua said something which made her laugh until she rocked forward and backward.

“She will not hurt me,” Ye Ling said in a low voice. “Lin Xiaojuan and Shen Qianshu have a very deep friendship. Today, Qianshu specially brought Tong Hua to attend their anniversary, so they must be very close. Since this is the case, there is no need to complicate the issue.”

“Yes!” Ah Da nodded his head. He had a premonition that he would have to follow Tong Hua in the future. Hence, Ah Da would have to be particularly attentive to matters relating to Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua.

Meanwhile, Tong Hua carried Burger and went upstairs to sleep.

When Shen Qianshu was bathing, she had carelessly dropped her change of clothes into the bathtub. Suddenly, she was stunned. She picked up her clothes and threw them into the clothing basket. She opened the door quietly and secretly. Ye Ling was not around. Suddenly, Shen Qianshu recalled that the curtains were not drawn, and there were surveillance cameras all around the castle. If she happened to be captured by the cameras, she would be very embarrassed. She shifted her line of sight upwards and pulled over Ye Ling’s shirt.

Should I wear this?

Looks like there are no other clothes.

The clothes she had changed into were also wet. Only this white shirt which Ye Ling had changed out of was left.
