CHAPTER 275: CHAPTER 261 REGRET NOT DOING SOONER 2_2

"I am threatening you."

Yao Lemon brought a bunch of stuff to see Lin Zhenxin.

On the contrary, Lin Zhenxin seemed somewhat absent-minded.

Before Yao Lemon arrived, she was thinking about Li Yanan’s mother.

Although Li Yanan might not have influence everywhere, if he wanted to find something, he could always find some clues, but...

There has been no clue about the corpse until now, which is somewhat unreasonable.

But Yao Lemon saw that she was always worried and couldn’t help but ask.

Lin Zhenxin didn’t hide anything from Yao Lemon and explained the situation simply.

"Instead of going around in circles, why not start from Li Yingying!" Yao Lemon glanced at Lin Zhenxin; she was really panicking out of concern.

"Li Yingying is already crazy like that, what can be asked from her?"

"You’re silly, who’s telling you to ask Li Yingying! If she could threaten Li Yanan for so many years, this thing must be very important. Think... where do you put the things you consider important?" Yao Lemon picked up an apple and took a big bite.

Lin Zhenxin was enlightened by her words, and her expression instantly brightened.

Things considered important are, of course, placed where one deems the safest!

Inside the Li Mansion.

Ever since Li Yanan bought the Li Mansion, it has been kept in its original state, untouched by anyone.

Before the sudden change befell the Li Family, Li Yingying already showed signs of getting ill, and leaving at that time was somewhat rushed, so Lin Zhenxin had reason to believe that the clues she wanted were not taken away by Li Yingying and were still kept inside here.

This wasn’t Lin Zhenxin’s first time here, but the memories before were not exactly pleasant.

Yao Lemon originally wanted to accompany her, but a phone call took her away.

And Lin Zhenxin didn’t want to let Li Yanan get his hopes up because of her speculation, so she didn’t notify him either.

Before coming, she did make a call to Aunt Zhang.

After carefully inquiring about where Li Yingying used to stay the longest at home, Lin Zhenxin set out.

The furniture in the villa hall was all covered with white dust covers, and the floors were full of dust; every step left a footprint.

Relying on memory, Lin Zhenxin went upstairs.

She directly went to Li Yingying’s most frequented study.

As the door was pushed open...

Perhaps because it hadn’t been cleaned for a long time, the room had a musty smell, the same as the attic where Li Yanan once lived.

Could Li Yingying have hidden clues about Li Yanan’s mother here?

Lin Zhenxin looked around, still feeling somewhat unsure.

She pulled open the desk drawers in succession, but Lin Zhenxin didn’t find any valuable clues inside, feeling a bit frustrated for a moment.

She suddenly felt as though her trip here might have been too reckless.

It was just a guess, how could it be taken seriously?

Yet she was still unwilling to give up.

She got up and searched carefully again, her snow-white little hands covered in dust.

Until she once again felt disheartened.

"Did I really overthink it?"

Lin Zhenxin murmured to the empty room, feeling a dull ache in her waist from the previous exertion.

She stared blankly at the second drawer she had opened and, almost by instinct, felt underneath it...

Almost instantly, Lin Zhenxin’s expression changed...

Lin Zhenxin sat on the sofa in the villa hall.

The dust cover was pulled off, and she quietly gazed at the object lying in her palm.

It was a brass-colored key.

And this was exactly what Lin Zhenxin had found under Li Yingying’s desk drawer.

It’s still unknown what this key unlocks, but Lin Zhenxin knew that Li Yingying must have valued this key greatly, otherwise, she wouldn’t have glued it to the bottom of the drawer, the spot closest to her.

Lin Zhenxin hesitated a bit on whether to call Li Yanan.

The villa is too big, and with just her strength alone, she might not be able to find out what lock this key opens.

Moreover, Lin Zhenxin wasn’t sure if this key was actually related to Li Yanan’s mother’s remains...

Meanwhile, outside the villa door, Ying Yaxin’s tall figure silently entered.

Perhaps Lin Zhenxin was too focused on the key in her hand and had no guard against someone approaching.

Until a shadow fell, enveloping her entirely.

Only then did Lin Zhenxin suddenly look up, her eyes filled with panic.

Seeing the face of the person who came, she finally relaxed completely.

"Why are you here?"

The person who came was Li Yanan.

After Lin Zhenxin had called Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang was worried and subsequently called Li Yanan.

Li Yanan didn’t delay too long and came here immediately.

"What is this?" Li Yanan glanced at what Lin Zhenxin had been focused on, his expression deep.

"It’s a key hidden under Li Yingying’s desk drawer, I just found it..."

Lin Zhenxin offered it to him like a treasure, but Li Yanan just looked at her grimy hand.

"I worry when you run around like this."

Li Yanan sighed, his expression somewhat helpless.

Lin Zhenxin bowed her head, like a child being lectured.

Li Yanan reached out and carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Seeing Lin Zhenxin’s originally white and beautiful face now streaked with dirt, he felt both exasperated and amused.

"Like a little dirt cat."

As soon as Lin Zhenxin heard this, she knew he wasn’t mad, so she relaxed and smiled.

"Lemon’s words reminded me that Li Yingying might hide important clues regarding mom close to her, so I came, and then... I found this key." Lin Zhenxin explained the sequence of events clearly and smiled ingratiatingly at him.
