As the attitude shifted promptly, Zhuo Yin's hostility towards him gradually lessened. Seeing him drink the medicine, she left first, leaving the space to the two of them.
Li Shuangjin continued to inquire about what had happened earlier.
After confirming that he also couldn't recall the young girl's appearance, he was almost certain that the person was the one he was looking for.
"You said she was at Bai Le Men."
Li Xiaoxian nodded. "The reason for yesterday's incident was that she snatched Huang Sanjin's private room. That room had always been booked by Huang Sanjin. He had previously forced a Pear Garden actor to death by forcibly abducting him. He was confined at home by Old Master Huang for over a month. As soon as he came out, he ran to Bai Le Men. He didn't expect Bai Le Men to give the private room to that young girl, which led to their conflict."
Huang Sanjin had an extremely bad reputation in Hai City. The Huang family had arranged a fiancée for him, but she had not yet married into the family, reportedly observing a period of mourning.
Huang Sanjin, disregarding the other party's and her family's honor, frequented places of pleasure and was a regular at Bai Le Men. Li Xiaoxian considered himself a man of romance, but he never forced anyone, and none of the people he had been involved with had ever spoken ill of him. Huang Sanjin was the opposite. Not only did he enjoy romantic encounters in brothels, but he also frequently abducted children from families whose influence was inferior to his own. It wasn't the first or second time he had caused someone's death. A few months ago, he took a fancy to a Pear Garden actor. After failing to win her over with money, he decided to resort to force, but unexpectedly caused her death.
He initially thought the person's background was ordinary. It wasn't until the police station came knocking that he learned that person was the nephew of the bank president in Hai City, and was reportedly highly favored by Madam Shen, the bank president's wife. With a few words from her, Shen Min of Hai City Bank began to put pressure on the Huang family.
The Huang family, knowing they were in the wrong, sent many gifts to apologize and confined the person at home for over a month. They finally waited until Shen Min left Hai City for business. Old Master Huang's health was not good, and he had been admitted to St. Mary's Hospital in the past two days. Huang Sanjin, impatient, brought someone out to enjoy himself.
He didn't get to enjoy himself before encountering a tough opponent, and he might not be able to enjoy himself for the rest of his life.
Li Xiaoxian thought of the foot that kept grinding on Huang Sanjin's body. Even through his clothes, that area was wet, and he didn't know if it was blood or something else.
As he thought about it, he felt an inexplicable empathy for the pain. Such an injury would likely never heal.
"She didn't kill the surnamed Huang?"
Li Shuangjin mused that if the previous cases were all related to her, or if she had committed them all, then based on that person's nature, it was unlikely she would leave anyone alive.
Li Xiaoxian said, "He wasn't dead at the time, but I don't know if he can be saved."
Actually, he felt the other party wouldn't die, but his future suffering might be worse than death.
The Huang family had quite a few descendants, and their contributions were usually of two types: one, contributing to the family's industry, and two, contributing to the family's lineage.
Huang Sanjin had two elder brothers, both from different mothers. One was infertile, and the other had reportedly broken ties with the family and gone abroad for many years without returning. The Huang family was waiting for Huang Sanjin to marry and have descendants. With such a severe injury this time, he might never be able to continue the family line.
His elder brother was not someone to be trifled with. He deeply disliked this useless half-brother who constantly brought shame to the family. If Huang Sanjin was truly incapacitated, his remaining life would be worse than death.
After hearing his description, Li Shuangjin also felt it was inexplicably cruel.
However, compared to those who had died before, she had been extremely merciful to Huang Sanjin.
"Uncle Six, you've been asking for so long. Do you perhaps know that young girl?"
Li Shuangjin shook his head. "No, but two recent cases are related to her. I want to meet her sometime."
"Then you must be careful," Li Xiaoxian said. "That young girl's methods are particularly ruthless. And that deceased manager, I don't know if it was her doing. If so, I suspect she was sent from the Eastern Isles."
This ability to kill from a distance was rumored to be a unique skill of sorcerers from the Eastern Isles, requiring a certain level of cultivation to achieve.
Then, that young girl was too dangerous.
He still didn't know her purpose for coming here.
Li Shuangjin replied, "I will be careful."
Li Xiaoxian asked about other things, mostly probing indirectly about Zhuo Yin's identity and the progress of their relationship. Compared to this nephew who had been through countless romantic encounters, Li Shuangjin was as pure as a little white rabbit, easily drawn out for a lot of information.
When he left, Li Xiaoxian was almost giddy with laughter.
"Uncle Six, don't worry. I definitely won't tell Grandma and Grandpa or Father about your affairs. You focus on your romance. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. I'll tell you everything and help you win the beauty's heart as soon as possible."
Li Shuangjin picked up the bowl of medicinal soup beside him and threw it at him.
Li Xiaoxian dodged it.
After the person left, Li Shuangjin reviewed what he had said. He had already planned to intercept that young girl from several directions, ensuring he would meet her.
To calm his mind and work on this case, he had just passed on a task entrusted to him by Marshal Li to Li Xiaoxian. After all, the latter still had the energy to go to places like Bai Le Men, so he should have plenty of free time.
——
Li Shuangjin had initially intended to go directly to her residence to find her. To his surprise, after staking out for two days, he hadn't seen her return.
Instead, he ran into people sent by the Huang family once. Before he could unravel the mystery surrounding her, he would not allow her to die, so he directly drove them away.
On the evening of the third day, Li Shuangjin decided not to wait anymore. He changed into a suit and planned to go directly to Bai Le Men.
He had people inquire, and it turned out that the young girl frequented Bai Le Men every night for the past two nights, listening to songs and enjoying music, sometimes even ordering dancers to accompany her. She seemed to be living a carefree and happy life.
Li Shuangjin: "..."
For a young girl to seek amusement in a place like Bai Le Men was already bizarre. And for her to order dancers was simply jaw-dropping.
He tied his bowtie, thinking about the matter, and couldn't help but smile as he thought.
When Zhuo Yin entered, she saw him dressed up like a peacock (not at all) and smiling foolishly, as if he was about to go out to meet a lover.
"Smiling so happily, who are you going out to meet?"
Li Shuangjin had become accustomed to their interaction style during this period. This woman was adept at provoking him with her words and sometimes uttered flirtatious remarks that often ignited his desire to possess her.
However, they were not formally together.
His birthday had already passed.
At that time, he was bedridden with serious injuries. He did not return home but claimed he had a very important case that required him to leave. Marshal Li, thinking he was trying to avoid an arranged marriage again, helped him cover up, barely escaping the pursuit of the two elders of the Li family.
The birthday banquet had not been held, and the gifts received had turned into tangible jewelry and silver. Those who had intended to give him gifts still had not given up, but unfortunately, they had no means to do so.
In contrast, the Qin family's scheme backfired, and Old Master Qin was quite pleased.
