Chapter 146: Chapter 145: You should be called a big baby

Author: Purple Peony Machine Translation

He Lanjin did not expect He Wenqing and Tang Zhilin to report her to the instructor, but she was not surprised that they did.

"I didn't really kill her," He Lanjin said, not denying anything. "I just prepared a light burial for her."

The instructor's face changed. He Lanjin had been under his charge for three years, and he knew that she was not a bad person. She could be a little wild, but He Lanjin knew her limits.

"Why?" the instructor asked.

"I just don't like her," He Lanjin said after a few seconds of silence.

She wanted to tell her instructor the truth, but she did not want to bother him with her personal affairs. Besides, this was a situation that involved the He family; it might be too dangerous to drag her instructor into it. The mountains seemed peaceful enough, but He Lanjin had to be on guard against people who might want to do her family harm.

"Instructor, this is a personal affair that I wish to keep within our family," He Lanjin said, making her position clear. "This has nothing to do with you or the academy. I appreciate it if you leave this matter to me." She respectfully bowed to the instructor and walked past him.

Not long after, the news of He Ruoxue's rescue quickly reached He Lanjin. He Ruoxue was reported to be crying as she fell into Lu Zifan's arms.

"He's here too?" He Lanjin was a little surprised. Although Lu Zifan was having an affair with He Ruoxue, He Lanjin did not expect him to personally come to the disaster area. What good would it bring him to make an appearance here and save He Ruoxue? Wouldn't that add to the rumors about them? But here he was. He even brought with him an expert who was able to crack the coffin's password.

He Wenqing, Tang Zhilin, He Ruoxue and Lu Zifan seemed like a family of four reunited after a long time of being apart That was how they looked to those who did not know who they were.

He Lanjin's eyes grew dim. She thought of how He Ruoxue seduced that man before stabbing him to death. He Ruoxue's words to the man replayed in He Lanjin's head. He Lanjin was reminded of how crafty He Ruoxue was, even at a young age when she took that knife for He Lanjin.

He Lanjin saved the man from his death to find out who was behind the attack on her that night many years ago, but he was not able to give her information. Not even An Nuan's investigation yielded any clues.

Still, He Lanjin was certain that someone had set their eyes on the He family ten years ago.

"Could the mastermind be behind Lu Zifan as well?" He Lanjin thought to herself. Right now, the only thing she could do was keep an eye on Lu Zifan. She had to get more clues in order to trace back what happened ten years ago.

As soon as she reached the dormitory, He Lanjin took her phone out and called An Nuan.

Just as she made the call, a small video popped up on the screen of her phone. She absentmindedly clicked play and got so scared when she heard a soft moaning coming from her phone that she hurriedly stopped the video.

An Nuan's mischievous laughter exploded in He Lanjin's ear. "Are you surprised? Are you surprised?" An Nuan asked playfully. "Do you like it, little baby?"

He Lanjin did not know whether to laugh or cry. "An Nuan, how dare you hack my phone and send that video!"

"Ah Jin, be good," An Nuan said. "I have some information for you. If you're good and call me little baby, I'll tell you."

He Lanjin took a grape from the bunch that Qiao Hanye bought, peeled it, and put it in her mouth. "Little baby," she said in a garbled voice as she rolled her eyes. An Nuan was very helpful, but she could be exasperating sometimes.

"What did you say? The wind was too strong," An Nuan replied, obviously playing with He Lanjin. "I didn't hear you clearly." An Nuan could not help but tease, even if she knew that she was going to pay for this when He Lanjin returned.

"Little baby," He Lanjin said in a low voice. Just as she finished speaking, she saw Qiao Hanye by the door. His eyes darkened slightly as he stared coldly at her. "Who are you calling little baby?"

Surprised by the sudden appearance of Qiao Chaney, He Lanjin swallowed, forgetting that she had a grape in her mouth. She choked on the grape, which luckily got dislodged from her throat when she coughed.

He Lanjin was going to ask Qiao Hanye why he was back so soon, but she was only able to say "You..." The man laughed happily and said in a low voice, "You should call me big baby."

He had misunderstood her reply. She silently lowered her head and held her phone tightly. She got up from her seat but he unexpectedly bent down to kiss her.

"Um..."
