She had thought that he was worrying about the elderly head, but he was actually thinking about this?

Tan Bengbeng glared at him, so exasperated that she was unable to speak for a moment.

The following second, Qi Yan had already pulled her into his arms from behind, remarking, “Alright. I know you’re worried about the elderly head. I was just joking with you. Look at how furious you are, as if you’re going to eat me up.”

Tan Bengbeng pushed him away. “You’re just spouting nonsense.”

Putting on an innocent-looking face, Qi Yan responded, “What nonsense did I spout? It’s true that I like you and want to marry you. Your family isn’t around anymore, so to show my respect, I have to take the opportunity to report this to the elderly head. Look at how obedient I am. Not only did you not praise me, you even got angry with me…”

Qi Yan then put on a child-like expression of having been aggrieved but not saying it aloud.

The sight of his expression rendered Tan Bengbeng speechless for quite a while.

Although she felt that he was always not being serious, she actually found it hard to rebut him as his words made sense after all.

When she finally snapped back to her sense, she retorted, “I didn’t agree to marry you!”

Why was he so eager to report?

Qi Yan’s devilish face was instantly unable to put on a smile. He managed a pitiful expression and was just about to showcase his excellent acting skills when Tan Bengbeng had already covered his face with her hand.

“Don’t talk to me now. Go over and take a look at the person who came with the intention of releasing fake news to agitate the elderly head.”

“…”

Just like that, Qi Yan was inhumanely dragged out of the room by Tan Bengbeng.

At the entrance of the room, two bodyguards were restraining the man who was wearing the uniform of a medical personnel.

His face was unfamiliar, but the uniform he was wearing was familiar to them.

Even extremely vigilant people like Qi Yan and Tan Bengbeng were unable to recognize him as an intruder, much less the bodyguards in the courtyard. This gave him the opportunity to get closer to the elderly head.

The other party should also have known that with Qi Yan and Tan Bengbeng around, he would be unable to lay a hand on the elderly head. This was why he intentionally used a piece of fake news to agitate the elderly head who was in a condition where he should not be emotionally agitated.

And after blurting the news out, he made a run for it.

However, there was no way he could be faster than Qi Yan. In just a few moves, he was beaten to the ground and could not even get up.

When the bodyguard went forward, he was still bleeding at the corner of his lip and moaning in pain as he lay down on the ground. The bodyguard could easily pick him up from the ground.

At present, upon seeing Qi Yan approach him, the man was scared out of his wits and started trembling non-stop.

“I don’t know anything, I just came to convey a piece of news. Someone gave me this set of clothes and a sum of money, and told me to enter this house and say a few words to the elderly in this picture. Then, I was told to leave after that.”

Without waiting for Qi Yan to ask, the person confessed on his own accord.

The bodyguard found a picture in his pocket and passed it to Qi Yan.

Qi Yan took the picture and saw that the person in it was the elderly head.

Tan Bengbeng too got a clear view of the person in the picture and her eyes sank. She went forward and grabbed hold of the man’s collar, asking, “Where’s the person who gave you the money? What does he or she look like? Have you ever considered why you can earn such a huge sum of money, just by conveying some words? It’s highly possible that you wouldn’t even be able to make it out of this house alive.”

Tan Bengbeng’s character had always been cold and aloof. When she did not put a smile on her face, she looked just like an ice queen.

Hearing words about killing others come from her mouth did not bring the least suspicion from others at all.

Although the man seemed afraid, he still appeared rather hesitant and refused to cooperate. “I don’t remember anymore. I only got paid to do the job. You guys can call the police. Anyway, the only offense I committed was trespassing on private property, and it isn’t that big of a crime.”

Right. It was just trespassing on private property, and not a huge crime like murder or robbery. If they called the cops on him, he would probably just be detained for a short while, but would still gain a huge sum from it.

Anyone who heard of such a good deal would definitely be eager to take it right?
