Zhao Nianen nodded in understanding and poured a cup of hot tea for Jia Huan:

"I didn't expect that this would happen when I first came to France to see you - but the decades-long friendship between Thomas and I will never change, and neither will your engagement with Yinuo. As far as I know

, you have no relatives here, why not come back to China with me."

Zhao Nian'en's words are conclusive and true, and should not be rejected for both emotional and family reasons, not to mention that this is one of Si Baining's plans.

"The people in the consortium have always been eyeing Thomas' position, and I am also an eyesore. Now that daddy is gone, I am left alone..." Jia Huan said, and couldn't help but sob again.

Zhao Nianen took a deep breath and patted Jia Huan on the shoulder without hesitation:

"I understand, I understand, I definitely can't let you stay here as a girl. Besides, since the engagement has been announced, it has come into effect. You are a member of my Zhao family, so how can I leave you here alone? That's it.

, after the funeral, we returned to China together."

Zhao Nianen stood up from the sofa slightly tiredly: "You take a rest for a while, and I'll make some phone calls." After that, he walked out of the hall and walked to the lawn outside the castle.

Through the glass window, Jia Huan saw Zhao Nianen talking on the phone and walking up and down the lawn. When he was excited, he even leaned forward and backward, as if he was arguing with someone.

Jia Huan bit his lip. On the surface, everything about this Zhao Nian En was normal. But who else could he be?! This cunning old fox! Jia Huan cursed secretly in his heart, turned and walked towards the bedroom.

Daddy left so suddenly, without explaining anything. Jia Huan didn't know what to do, so he could only follow Si Baining's plan carefully step by step. I hope Zhao Nianen can reveal his flaws or weaknesses as soon as possible. In short, as long as he can prove that he is the murderer, even if

Even if you fight to pieces, your family will not hesitate.

Jia Huan looked at her bedroom. After tidying up the huge room, she found that there were not many things that belonged to her. It was just some jewelry, some clothing and skin care products. Because it is inevitable to miss people when seeing things, Jia Huan had many things.

Don't want to take it away.

For example, the dress she wore when accompanying Thomas to the cocktail party, and the diamond ring that Thomas must give every year. Each of these eight rings has different gemstones, including yellow diamonds, pink diamonds, black diamonds, white diamonds, and emeralds.

.

Jia Huan looked at it, and couldn't help but think of Thomas's kind smile, and the blue eyes under the golden eyelashes were so kind, full of love and care. Jia Huan thought about it and put the jewelry box into her pocket.

box……

The funeral was held in the castle. Apart from the employees who did not know the truth, the only attendees were Jia Huan, Si Baining, Zhao Nianen and Dr. Brown and his wife. It was extremely low-key. They did not notify Donal and other family members. They only said that Thomas was unwell.

I won’t be visiting in the near future.

Jia Huan wore a plain black dress and a black veil, her pale face half hidden and half visible. She took Zhao Nianen's arm and placed a bright rose on Thomas's coffin while the priest was delivering his eulogy.

As the huge golden coffin slowly sank into the ground, Jia Huan unconsciously thought of the tunnel under the castle and the mysterious room.

Jia Huan frowned, vaguely feeling that many things seemed to be related in some way, but for a while he couldn't figure out why.

After the funeral, Zhao Nianen walked back to the hall holding Jia Huan's hand and asked softly:

"Are you going back to China with me today, or..."

"Today?" Jia Huan was surprised. He didn't expect Zhao Nianen to go back so soon.

Zhao Nianen nodded: "I have already issued a notice to the board of directors that you will be hired as the director of Xiaon Industrial. I believe you can be qualified for this position. It is a bit hasty for you to return to China today, but I suggest you not to stay here alone for a long time.

Take a day or two to deal with the trivial matters, and then return to China as soon as possible."

Jia Huan gradually lowered his head. There was something in Zhao Nianen's words. It seemed that he had known Thomas's true identity. If not, how could he have considered it so thoughtfully and carefully? In this way, Thomas and him really had a close relationship.

Jia Huan's eyes gradually turned red as he thought about it. Fortunately, he was covered up by his sorrowful emotions so that Zhao Nianen would not see the flaw. Jia Huan said "yes" and gently wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

In fact, she had nothing to deal with at all. Although she had lived in Sherlock Castle for eight years, she knew nothing about all matters related to finance and family. The reason why Jia Huan promised Zhao Nianen to leave in a day or two was because she didn't want to

She just went back to China with him. Jia Huan was not sure that during the more than ten hours of journey, she could perfectly conceal and control her emotions, instead of simply killing Zhao Nianen with a simple and violent shot.

Zhao Nianen said that while walking, Jia Huan put him on the helicopter piloted by Si Baining. After seeing the two people leaving, he immediately returned to Thomas' study.

In the wooden box behind the bookcase, there is a Browning pistol with a handle inlaid with pearls. According to Thomas, this pistol once belonged to the woman in the photo. The last time the woman's whereabouts were discovered was four years ago, and the family still enjoys it.

I remember the days when she and Thomas would hang out at major drinking parties every night. She and Thomas would pretend to be relaxed in front of others, paralyzing their opponents, while Sparrow was searching for Moy behind the scenes.

But the real moy seemed to disappear out of thin air, and there was no news again. While the family was disappointed, Thomas gradually became more and more irritable...

Jia Huan rubbed the delicate and cold pistol in her hand, and the hard touch made her feel at ease. Perhaps, only by hardening her heart can she get the future she wants.

Jia Huan brought a pistol and walked into her holographic projection classroom. After she was punished that time, Jia Huan never had a class again. At this time, the entire classroom was pitch black and she couldn't see anything clearly. The sensing device seemed to have been completely destroyed.

It failed, and Jia Huan had no choice but to withdraw from the classroom.

The family wanted to take a portrait of their father Thomas as a souvenir, but they couldn't help but think of the mysterious portrait in the corridor. On second thought, they were worried that Thomas' true identity would be exposed, so they had to give up.

Si Baining didn't seem to know where the corridor was, and he didn't tell Jia Huan at all about where he went and what he experienced that day... Jia Huan frowned, and for a moment, he patted his swollen head and cursed secretly.

I am confused: Why am I getting suspicious again for no reason!

Not long after Jia Huan returned to the bedroom, Si Baining returned to Sherlock Castle. Seeing him return, Jia Huan's hesitant and uneasy heart finally calmed down a little.

In the evening, the two of them had dinner in front of the swaying candlelight. The family fun was like chewing wax, and they didn't feel the slightest bit romantic.

"What should I do after I return to China?! Zhao Nianen said he wanted me to be the director of his company." Jia Huan put down his knife and fork and asked.

Si Baining raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "Isn't this good? Firstly, being busy can make you forget about sadness, and secondly, it is conducive to our plan."

"But -" Jia Huan stopped talking.

Si Baining's brows gradually tightened, and his gentle face became more ferocious:

"Don't worry, I won't let you marry Xiao Yinuo easily. No matter whether Zhao Nianen is the murderer or not, as long as he is ruined, we can take the initiative again and regain our freedom and dignity."

Jia Huan looked at Si Bai Ning as if he didn't understand. He didn't understand the difference between going around in such a big circle to get close to Zhao Nian'en and then getting rid of him, and killing him directly now. If you want to get rid of Zhao Nian'en, there are 110,000 ways

Method, why did Si Boning choose such a complicated method.

When Si Baining saw Jia Huan looking at him doubtfully, he laughed unconsciously. Two rows of white teeth shone like pearls in the candlelight:

"We don't have the strength to compete with anyone or snobbery now, and you and I will arouse suspicion no matter where we go, and staying here will just sit and wait for death. This castle is no longer our home, do you understand? Once Dona

If you know the news of Thomas's death, we will definitely bear the brunt of it and become cannon fodder in the internal struggle within the family."

Jia Huan nodded to express his understanding, and Si Baining continued: "How do you think Zhao Nianen made his fortune? His money is not clean at all. As long as you can gain his trust, I will have a way to take over his business.

Cultivate our snobbery so that we can rest easy in the future.”

After Si Baining finished speaking, he took a sip of red wine, picked up the knife and fork and continued to cut the steak leisurely. Jia Huan looked at him enjoying the meal as if nothing had happened, and his uneasy heart beat faster and faster, as if he was not facing his gentle and elegant lover.

, but a deliberate conspirator...

The moonlight was sultry, and the family stood on the terrace outside the bedroom, looking at the Rhine River that meandered to the sky. The sparkling light was like stars in the sky, which made people intoxicated.

Si Baining carried a silver tray and delivered a cup of warm milk to Jia Huan's bedroom. He saw her standing alone on the terrace in a daze, her snow-white gauze skirt trailing on the floor, rippled by the breeze. She looked as graceful as a fairy. He couldn't help but put down the tray and walked home.

Enjoy being around.

Si Baining gently held Jia Huan's round shoulders and said softly: "Are you cold?"

His voice was as gentle as morning dew, making people reluctant to touch it. Jia Huan did not answer, but shook his head gently, and a strand of hair fell from the top of his head, leaving a vague fragrance.

Si Baining lowered his head and took a deep sniff, greedily wanting to take possession of the alluring smell. As he breathed, his warm breath teased Jia Huan's slender neck, as if being scratched by soft feathers.

More than average.

Jia Huan inadvertently twisted her neck, avoiding Si Baining's lips next to her ear.

"What's wrong? You started to feel unhappy after eating." Si Baining's tone was slightly complaining.

Jia Huan turned her back to him and smiled bitterly. She had just lost her adoptive father who loved her, and was about to leave the home where she had lived for eight years. She even discovered another side of her lover that no one knew about. How could Jia Huan be happy?

What Si Baining said at dinner has been lingering in Jia Huan's mind. Zhao Nianen's wealth did not come from a bright future, so he had every excuse to possess it? What kind of logic is this? If he hadn't heard it with his own ears,
Chapter completed!
