CHAPTER 115: CHAPTER 115: YANG LIN AFTER A LONG ABSENCE

Yi Bian received a call from Lin Xiaoyan reporting to the police, initially quite excited, thinking it was another big case. But who knew someone was causing trouble in Lin Xiaoyan’s store!

Who could be so blind!

Yi Bian immediately ran to the office, "Xiao Lin called the police!"

Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at Yi Bian with bright eyes.

"Someone’s causing trouble in Xiao Lin’s store!"

"Screeeech——" The sound of chairs being pushed back echoed one after another.

"Let’s go, let’s see who dares to cause trouble!"

"I’m coming too!"

"Oh dear, don’t scare Xiao Lin, she’s already timid enough..."

"Don’t forget your things!"

"Don’t worry, I’m bringing everything!"

"Hurry, hurry, run over there..."

... In less than two minutes, Lin Xiaoyan saw police running across the street from the station.

She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the man who was yelling and causing a scene.

"Sir, I’ve already called the police. You can discuss store matters with your father. Please don’t continue making a fuss here."

The man’s eyes were red as he glared at Lin Xiaoyan, "How much did you spend when you bought it? Where’s the money? I’ve never seen any money. It doesn’t count! You buying it doesn’t count!"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the erratic man, instinctively feeling something was wrong with him.

"Ding-dong..."

"Who’s causing trouble?" Zhang Ming was the first to arrive at the milk tea shop. His face was serious as he eyed the arrogant fat man and walked straight toward him.

"Ding-dong..."

"Ding-dong..."

"Ding-dong..."

The customers in the store watched as one officer after another entered, peering outside to see more officers on their way over from the station!

Everyone’s eyes naturally turned to the troublemaking man. This guy was bold, causing trouble right across from the police station!

Look, being close to the station meant the police came quickly, and not just one or two, they all came!

"What’s going on?" Li He asked Lin Xiaoyan.

Lin Xiaoyan quickly explained the situation and took the property deed from the safe.

The fat man’s emotions grew more agitated as Lin Xiaoyan actually presented the property deed, and he reached out to grab it.

"Don’t move!"

The police quickly restrained the man, but Lin Xiaoyan was still touched on the arm by him...

She lowered her head motionlessly, "seeing" the scene from the man’s perspective...

"Xiao Lin?" Li He looked at the motionless Lin Xiaoyan, alarmed, and immediately turned to the man cursing under his breath.

Lin Xiaoyan snapped back to reality, glanced at the man, then at Li He.

Li He: .... No way!

"Let’s go to the station!"

"Okay." Lin Xiaoyan took off her work uniform, turned to the four employees, and said, "I’m heading next door, you all keep working."

"Okay."

"No worries, boss."

Lin Xiaoyan also looked at the store’s customers, "Sorry about the experience today, all milk teas today are half-price."

"Wow, the boss is so generous!"

"That’s great, it’s like buy one get one free!"

"Boss, what about those of us who already paid?" The customers who had just bought milk tea and hadn’t left yet quickly asked.

Lin Xiaoyan looked over and smiled, "You can get half your money back, or another of the milk tea you just bought, it’s up to you!"

The man and woman had already been taken out of the store. Lin Xiaoyan glanced at them and, after informing the employees, quickly headed to the police station.

Once at the station, the two were taken to the interrogation room for statements.

Lin Xiaoyan accompanied Li He directly to Captain Ma.

"Captain."

"Xiao Lin, sit down. Everything okay at the store?" Captain Ma saw Lin Xiaoyan and smiled, pulling up a chair for her to sit down.

Lin Xiaoyan shook her head, "It’s okay, just the landlord’s son seeing the store doing well and wants to kick me out so they can open a milk tea shop."

Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoyan was very grateful to Xuan Shiyi. Thank goodness Xuan Shiyi bought the milk tea shop for her back then; otherwise...

"Oh right, this man, later after he returns home..."

Upon hearing there was another murder, Captain Ma’s face grew serious, and he quickly had Li He take notes.

"Oh, and you need to also investigate that woman. I saw her giving something to that man before his father’s death..."

Lin Xiaoyan added.

Upon hearing this, Captain Ma and the others became immediately alert, "Drugs?"

Lin Xiaoyan shook her head, "Not sure, but the man’s state seems off..."

Lin Xiaoyan recalled the scene of the man killing his father, driven mad and somewhat incoherent...

"Got it, thank you, Xiao Lin."

Captain Ma said solemnly, then quickly issued commands.

"Xiao Ning, investigate the identities of these two people."

"Yes."

"Xiao Li, check if there are any needles or anything on them, and assess their condition..."

"Okay."

...

Lin Xiaoyan didn’t get involved in what came after; she returned to her shop.

Seeing the boss was back, the employees were all worried and asked about the situation.

Lin Xiaoyan smiled and reassured everyone it was fine, then continued working.

Soon, Lin Xiaoyan saw the pair emerging from across the street, the duo who had just been here.

She watched as they cursed toward the shop and then left in a taxi.

Then she saw two unmarked police cars from the station follow after them...

With a deep breath, Lin Xiaoyan pulled her thoughts away from the bloody scenes in her head, thinking she needed to visit the Special Investigation Bureau’s psychologist soon.

Too much has happened lately; she needs guidance from a psychologist.

That evening, just as she was about to close the shop, the doorbell rang. Lin Xiaoyan looked up, about to apologize, when she was surprised to see it was Yang Lin, whom she hadn’t contacted in a long time.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Yang Lin coming toward her, feeling a bit tense, not knowing what to say.

Yang Lin looked at Lin Xiaoyan, his expression still gentle, and smiled, "What? Don’t recognize me?"

Lin Xiaoyan snapped back to reality, sheepishly saying, "No, just didn’t expect you to come..."

"I happened to be in the area for something, and after finishing up, I suddenly remembered you seemed to have a shop around here. I was wondering if you’d returned from Beijing and thought I’d pay a visit, didn’t expect you were already back."

"Yes, just returned two days ago." Lin Xiaoyan fidgeted with her fingers, then looked at the table, trying to find something to do.

For some reason, facing Yang Lin made her too nervous to look at him directly, feeling embarrassed and a bit self-conscious...

"Are you off work?"

Yang Lin looked at the girl with a face full of blush, softly asking.

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Yes, just finishing up and then I’ll close."

"Anything left to clean up, let me help." Yang Lin glanced around.

"No, it’s all cleaned up; I just need to turn off the power."

"Let me turn it off."

"No need, no need."

Lin Xiaoyan forced herself to relax and said with a smile, "Your hands shouldn’t be doing this kind of work, you have to take good care of them."

Yang Lin laughed, "I’m human too; I still cook for myself, so why can’t I do these things."
