The little fox listened to Ye Tiancheng’s words and thought about it, feeling that it seemed to be the case.
Lin Yanshu’s courage was indeed a bit too much. Did Lin Yanshu know who they were?
If there was a plan behind it, then Lin Yanshu’s actions would be understandable, perhaps he was just not that picky about people.
However, if Lin Yanshu genuinely trusted them and therefore entrusted them with such an important task, then Lin Yanshu would appear quite unreliable.
Anyone else would not have the audacity to hand over such crucial matters to strangers they had just met, revealing so many family secrets.
In fact, compared to all the secrets of the Lin family, what Lin Yanshu had revealed was merely a drop in the ocean, a tip of the iceberg.
However, the recipients were Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, and the connection was through Lin Yanqin, Lin Yanshu’s sister.
Thus, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox also came into contact with Lin Yanshu, though not in a direct sense.
Facing such individuals, Lin Yanshu still divulged certain matters, which seemed very strange.
To suggest that Lin Yanshu had no ulterior motives would be even harder to believe.
Regardless, both Ye Tiancheng and the little fox believed this.
Moreover, given the current situation, it was highly likely to be the case.
Lin Yanshu’s actions, his attitude towards Ye Tiancheng and the little fox in private and in public, and what he did to them were clearly inconsistent.
Furthermore, what Lin Yanshu was doing now, as witnessed by Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, clearly showed him to be a person of duplicity.
It was highly improbable that there was no conspiracy behind this.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox both wondered what Lin Yanshu was trying to achieve.
This was of paramount importance.
Perhaps by understanding this matter, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox could uncover more clues and receive more assistance.
Therefore, both Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were clearly very concerned about this matter.
While Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were communicating privately, Lin Yanshu dismissed his subordinates and then paced back and forth in the room, clearly agitated.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox already knew the reason for his behavior.
Because they had been listening nearby.
So, it was very clear.
It was likely due to what Lin Yanshu had mentioned about the eldest young master of their Lin family, which Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had learned about Lin Yanqin’s background when they inquired with the previous innkeeper.
Then, Lin Yanqin’s mother, upon first learning that her husband was not as he appeared, had discovered that he had been doing bad things behind her back, betraying her.
He had also been a playboy and even had an illegitimate child.
And that illegitimate child was brought to the Lin family by the lover who exposed these matters.
While the then head of the Lin family was away, Lin Yanqin’s mother met this illegitimate child.
Lin Yanqin’s mother was a very kind person.
Therefore, she kept the child, raised him, and did not mistreat him. It was said that Lin Yanqin’s mother treated this child very well.
Thus, even though this child was not Lin Yanshu’s biological son, their relationship was as close as mother and son.
The child regarded Lin Yanshu’s mother with great importance, treating her as his own mother.
Furthermore, based on the information previously obtained, it was known that this eldest young master of the Lin family not only deeply loved the mother of Lin Yanshu and Lin Yanqin, but also seemed unable to accept her death.
And he had attempted to do some bad things.
This caused great distress to the siblings, Lin Yanshu and Lin Yanqin.
It was also suspected that this was the reason why Lin Yanqin came to this place alone and met with misfortune.
Indeed, Lin Yanqin had met her demise more than a hundred years ago.
This could basically be considered indisputable.
Lin Yanqin came here alone to take the Kunlun Mirror. She might not have known its purpose, but she clearly knew that the eldest young master of the Lin family intended to use the mirror for something nefarious.
This matter could be detrimental to the Lin family, or perhaps Lin Yanqin had a good relationship with the eldest young master of the Lin family. Therefore, Lin Yanqin did not want to see her brother go astray, and out of a desire for her brother’s well-being, both possibilities existed.
As a result, Lin Yanqin tried to stop him, which led to her taking the Kunlun Mirror.
In this context, was the stabbing of Lin Yanqin at the inn, her escape through the window, and the subsequent fire at the inn all related to the eldest young master of the Lin family?
When one thought about it, it was highly possible that the eldest young master of the Lin family was the man who directly committed the assault.
If that were the case, then Lin Yanqin’s subsequent strange attitude, her reluctance to speak further, her refusal to reveal more clues, and her refusal to provide more information.
She even refused to let Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, oh, Nie Chongyang and Liang Ping were also present at the time, continue investigating this matter, which caused significant obstruction for Ye Tiancheng and his companions.
For this reason, Ye Tiancheng and his group were largely unable to do anything in the final days, forced to wait and see how events unfolded.
Such helplessness was extremely frustrating.
Anyone would find being in such a deadlock unpleasant.
However, looking at the current situation, it was likely that the eldest young master of the Lin family would be a crucial clue, potentially leading to a major breakthrough in Ye Tiancheng and the little fox’s investigation.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox wanted to wait a bit longer to see if they could obtain more information from Lin Yanshu.
However, it was evident that Lin Yanshu did not have the habit of talking to himself when alone, and he was also a relatively cautious person. Thus, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, who were staking him out, gained nothing after a long wait.
Since Lin Yanshu was like this, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had no other options.
Seeing that they could not obtain any new clues, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox found an opportunity and left Lin Yanshu’s room again.
Then, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox went out for a walk, found a suitable place, confirmed that there was no one around, and that no one would witness anything they shouldn’t, and then they confidently deactivated their stealth.
