In the evening, the city was surrounded by the warm light of the setting sun. The traffic on the road had already returned to its usual prosperity and liveliness.

Lin Qingqian walked out of the company and saw the car parked by the roadside. She walked over.

Not far away, a black motorcycle sped over. From the corner of her eye, Lin Qingqian saw that she had already passed the sidewalk when it came over.

Except—

The motorcycle suddenly sped up. She subconsciously stopped in her tracks and wanted to dodge, but the other party did not seem to have any intention of avoiding her and was charging straight at her.

Lin Qingqian was stunned. Before she could react, a force suddenly pulled her back.

She turned around and bumped into a warm chest. Her heart was still beating wildly. When she looked up at Han Liubai, there was still a trace of fear in his

eyes.

Han Liubai’s expression was also gloomy, but he tried his best to maintain his calm and asked with concern, “Are you alright?”

Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and instinctively retreated. She pulled away and said, “I’m fine. Thank you.”

Han Liubai lowered his head and examined her. After confirming that she was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.

When Su Ying and Suisui came out together and saw this scene, they were really shocked. They ran over hand in hand and said worriedly, “Qianqian, are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” Lin Qingqian replied, but she said worriedly, “Don’t run. Walk properly.”

Suisui had already jogged over, her face filled with worry. “I was just worried about you.”

After a pause, she said indignantly, “F*ck! Who was that just now? He didn’t look where he was riding his bike. Is he trying to murder you?”

“It’s a pity that he’s wearing a helmet and we can’t see his face clearly.” Su Ying also frowned, her expression showing rare anger. “Otherwise, we’ll call the police to arrest him!”

Lin Qingqian did not speak. Her pale face turned to the direction where the motorcycle had driven away, and complicated emotions surged in her eyes.

Chen Mu, who was in the car, also saw this scene. He was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat and hurriedly walked over. “Madam, it’s my fault. I should have come over to pick you up.”

Seeing that his expression was also solemn and depressed, Lin Qingqian said indifferently, “I’m fine. You don’t have to blame yourself.”

“I’ll investigate this matter.” Although Lin Qingqian did not care, as a bodyguard, he had to ensure the safety of his employer and eliminate the dangers of his employer, including the hidden dangers.

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you.” Lin Qingqian did not stand on ceremony. After all, she felt that the other party was deliberately coming for her. However, she had not formed any grudges with anyone recently.

Was it Li Ruzhu, or… Ming Xiao?

Suisui was timid. What happened just now still frightened her out of her wits. She pulled Lin Qingqian’s hand and said, “You seem to be a little unlucky recently. First, you slipped in the bathroom, and now, you were almost hit by a motorcycle. No, I’ll accompany you to the temple tomorrow to pray!”

Su Ying nodded. “Yes! I’ll go with you and pray!”

Lin Qingqian was about to say that there was no need when a thought suddenly flashed across her mind..

First, she slipped in the bathroom, and then she was almost hit by a

motorcycle. Was it a coincidence?

Or… was someone deliberately targeting her?

The motorcycle accident can be man-made, but what about the bathroom?

There was only her and Jiang Yanshen in Begonia Courtyard, and there was only the auntie among the outsiders. Could it be the auntie?

After Jiang Yanshen received the news, he immediately rushed back to Begonia Courtyard.

Lin Qingqian was reading her emails when she saw his figure from the corner of her eye. She immediately put down her iPad. “Why are you back so early?”

Jiang Yanshen frowned tightly, his dark eyes landing on her as he examined her.

Lin Qingqian realized that he knew something and said with a smile, “I’m fine. Xiao Bai saved me.”

Jiang Yanshen’s anxious heart fell. He couldn’t care less about jealousy anymore. His long arm pulled her into his arms and hugged her. His warm and dry lips landed on her forehead, and his voice was low and hoarse. “It’s good that you’re fine.”

Although Chen Mu said on the phone that she was fine, he couldn’t feel at ease unless he saw her with his own eyes.

The auntie had just come out of the kitchen when she saw this scene and tactfully retreated.

Lin Qingqian could see the auntie from her angle. She hurriedly sat up straight and said, “Auntie is watching.”

Jiang Yanshen didn’t care if anyone was looking. His warm black eyes landed on her small face. “Were you frightened?”

“It’s alright.” Lin Qingqian did not want him to worry and said casually, “I’m not a weak girl. You know that.”

That was true. She had followed the Old Master up mountains and down rivers since she was young. She had gone through wildfires and earthquakes. Her courage was not something ordinary women could compare to.

“I’ll send someone to investigate this matter.” Jiang Yanshen’s eyebrows were knitted tightly together, and his voice was cold.

Lin Qingqian pretended not to care and nodded. “Perhaps the other party didn’t mean it either.”

After a slight pause, she added, “However, Suisui said that I’ve been a little unlucky recently and insisted on dragging me to the temple to pray.”

Jiang Yanshen’s exquisite facial features didn’t change. He pursed his thin lips

slightly. “You believe in Buddhism!”

Lin Qingqian frowned slightly and replied after some thought, “I can’t say. I’ll just treat it as asking for peace of mind.”

Jiang Yanshen nodded. “Let Chen Mu accompany you.”

“Alright.” In order to reassure him, Lin Qingqian agreed readily.

The next morning, Lin Qingqian went to the temple after having a simple meal. Before leaving, Jiang Yanshen instructed Chen Mu to follow Lin Qingqian closely.

After sending Lin Qingqian away, the curve of Jiang Yanshen’s lips visibly sank.

Lu Yuan walked over and said respectfully, “Director Jiang.”

“You found it?” Jiang Yanshen glanced at him coldly.

Lu Yuan shook his head. “Young Master Gu said that the other party’s motorcycle license plate was fake and he was wearing a helmet at that time. His facial features could not be seen clearly. He lost track of the motorcycle in a blind spot without surveillance cameras.”

In other words, the other party had expected them to use the surveillance cameras to track them.

Jiang Yanshen clenched his fists slowly and said coldly, “Send a few more people to follow Qianqian. Don’t let her find out.”

“Yes,” Lu Yuan replied and said, “Director Jiang, are we going to the company?”

Jiang Yanshen’s long eyelashes trembled slightly when he got into the car. After a moment of silence, he said, “To the clinic.”

When Lin Qingqian arrived at the temple, Suisui was already at the door. When she saw her, she waved her hand happily. “Qianqian, over here.”

There was only one temple in Lan City, and there were usually many visitors who came to offer incense. There were many people coming and going early in the morning, and their bodies were stained with the smell of incense.

Lin Qingqian walked over. ‘Why are you here so early?”

Suisui looked sincere. “We’re coming here to pray. Of course I have to wake up early to be sincere.”

“Is that the truth?”

Suisui sighed. “I woke up hungry this morning.”

I knew it.

Suisui held her arm. “No matter the reason, I came early. Lord Bodhisattva won’t blame me.”

Lin Qingqian didn’t refute and swept her gaze around. “Xiao Ying isn’t here yet?”

“She just sent a WeChat message saying that she’s almost here.” Suisui’s eyes swept around.

Chen Mu parked the car and walked over. He stood quietly at the side, vigilantly investigating the hidden dangers around him.

After waiting for a few minutes, they saw Su Ying running over in a hurry. “Sister Qingqian, Suisui, I’m sorry I’m late.”

“It’s alright, we just arrived too.” Lin Qingqian patted her back gently to help her calm down.

Su Ying caught her breath and handed the breakfast to Suisui. “Your breakfast.”

“Thank you.” Suisui took it happily. “I’m about to starve to death. I finally have rice balls to eat.”

Lin Qingqian glanced at her helplessly. “So Su Ying went to buy breakfast for you.”

“No!” Su Ying explained with a smile. “I happened to come across a stall near my house, so I went to buy it. There’s also soy milk.”

Su Ying handed them the bag in her hand. “The soy milk in this breakfast shop is fresh. It’s very good.”

Lin Qingqian saw that there were only two cups. “What about you?”

“I’ve eaten.” Su Ying handed a cup to Suisui. Suisui happily confessed, “Thank you. I love you.”

Su Ying smiled shyly and gave the other cup to Lin Qingqian.

Lin Qingqian didn’t take it and said softly, “I’ve eaten at home. I can’t drink it now. You drink it.”

“Oh, alright.” Su Ying retracted her hand and lowered her head to drink the soy milk with a straw.

Lin Qingqian waited for them to finish eating before the three of them entered the temple.

There were several Buddha statues worshiped in the temple. The three of them knelt down before each one and donated money to the merit box.

Then, they returned to the courtyard of the temple. There was a one-meter-tall incense burner that was already filled with incense.

Lin Qingqian had asked Chen Mu to buy incense and candles. The three of them split up and bowed in four directions before inserting the incense and candles into the incense burner.

Suisui looked flustered. “I can’t take it anymore. I have to go to the toilet.”

Ever since she became pregnant, she felt that her bladder was getting worse and worse. She needed to go to the toilet at every turn.

“I’ll go too.” With that, Su Ying looked at Lin Qingqian.

Lin Qingqian curved her lips. “Go, I’ll wait for you here.”

Only then did Suisui and Su Ying hold hands and go to the washroom like a pair of female students.

Lin Qingqian asked Chen Mu to drive the car over so they could return to the company when Suisui and the others returned.

Chen Mu was a little hesitant. Director Jiang had instructed him to follow Madam closely.

“Go. There are so many people here, and I’ll be fine in front of the temple.” Lin Qingqian said gently.

Chen Mu glanced at the big Buddha in the temple. His eyebrows and eyes were kind, and there was a smile on his lips, as if he could enlighten all living beings.

Although he did not believe in gods and Buddhas, he still had some respect for them at this moment. As for those fierce and evil people, they would more or less have a trace of reverence in their hearts in front of the Buddhist temple and would not dare to do evil.

With this thought in mind, he went to the parking lot.

The morning breeze was still a little bone-piercing. Lin Qingqian adjusted her coat that was stained with sandalwood and glanced at the person not far away from her from the corner of her eye, her eyes gradually turning cold.

When Shen Zhiwei received Lu Yuan’s call, she asked her assistant to move back the appointment slot booked previously an hour to receive Jiang Yanshen.

The dark blue curtains were drawn tightly, and an orange light shone in the office. Shen Zhiwei lit the lavender incense and turned to look at the man sitting on the recliner.

“Director Jiang, you usually don’t come over during the day.” Because he was afraid of being seen by the reporters who might publicize it.

Jiang Yanshen didn’t say anything. His fingers crossed and tightened, his joints turning greenish-white.

The silence made the atmosphere in the office oppressive and heavy. Just as Shen Zhiwei was feeling uneasy, she heard Jiang Yanshen’s tense voice slowly ring out—

“I’ve been able to fall asleep at night recently, and I sleep until dawn..”
