162 Strange Chemistry

“Lian Jing.” Shen Yin gave at the complaining man a serious look.

Lian Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at her, waiting for her to speak.

Shen Yin sighed. She did not know if she should say this, but she needed an answer. She lowered her eyes and said calmly, “When are we getting married?”

Married?

Lian Jing instantly frowned, as if he had not considered this question.

He wanted to take care of Shen Yin and Nian Nian forever, but in his opinion, marriage not only failed to provide any insurance that love would endure, it also pushed two lovers into hell more quickly.

He did not want him and Shen Yin to end up like his parents. These were the two most important people in his life. He just wanted to keep them by his side for the rest of his life. To him, that was the best possible outcome.

However, Shen Yin clearly disagreed. Marriage was the best promise a man could give a woman. Even if he could not guarantee anything, if a man did not even have the courage to marry you, he would not be able to give you happiness either.

She looked up and smiled coolly. “Lian Jing, you still only want a partner for your pleasure. I’m sorry, I’m not that kind of woman. I’m very grateful for what you said to me last night. I don’t regret having sex with you, but it’s better for us to keep a distance in the future.”

Lian Jing’s suddenly felt as if his heart was being roasted over a fire. He kicked his suitcase away in frustration and stared in bewilderment at the resolute woman. “Shen Yin, are you toying with me? Do you think being so fickle is fun?”

“Lian Jing, you’ve misunderstood.” Shen Yin looked at the suitcase that the man had been cradling like a treasure that morning, but which was now bearing the brunt of his anger. Her heart sank slightly. “I’m not being fickle. It’s just that our views differ and we’re not compatible.”

“It’s not up to you to decide if we’re compatible!” Lian Jing growled weakly. This woman always poured cold water on him just as he was prepared to give his heart to her. “Don’t regret it.”

Lian Jing slammed the door and walked out of the room. If he stayed any longer, he would probably do something to hurt her again.

They went back to ignoring each other. Shen Nian ate in fear. He did not know why the two of them, who had clearly reconciled, had fallen out again.

The next day was Shen Nian’s first day of school. The father and son left early. By the time Shen Yin woke up, the two of them were long gone.

After breakfast, she went to the police station alone. Over the past two days, the narcotics team had been working non-stop until they finally found traces of a gang.

The case would be solved very soon. Zou Sheng ate his packed lunch and went over to Shen Yin to look at the report in her hand. He asked curiously, “Are people really that evil? They’ll even scheme against their wives? Hu Jin even bought a house for Tan Li’s parents.”

Shen Yin took the time to reply calmly, “Is the house under Hu Jin and Tan Li’s names?”

“Yeah.” Zou Sheng pulled out the real estate certificate and realized that it was in their names. He immediately understood what she was getting at.

According to the law, this house belonged jointly to Hu Jin and Tan Li. After Tan Li’s death, this property was solely owned by Hu Jin.

Zou Sheng could not help but click his tongue and ask in confusion, “But he didn’t need to sell the previous house, right?”

“Tan Li’s parents paid for the previous house,” Shen Yin replied without even lifting her eyes as she read the report.

Zou Sheng looked at the records skeptically and found that Shen Yin was right. He said in shock, “Sister, you have hacking skills as well?”

“I don’t need to hack.” Shen Yin looked at him in amusement. “I just happened to guess correctly.”

Actually, it had been easy to guess the answer to this question. If Hu Jin wanted to embezzle the assets that were jointly held by him and his wife, he could not ignore the fact that Tan Li’s parents had paid for the previous property and it was under Tan Li’s name.

As long as he sold the house at the right time after their marriage and bought another one, the price would be the same, but the beneficiary would change.

Hu Jin had used Tan Li and even mercilessly taken her life in the end.

He was worse than a beast.

The Narcotics Unit sent them news. Wu Zheng displayed the information on the big screen and pointed at the largest picture on the screen. “This person is the leader of thee drug trafficking ring near the abandoned building. He was seen with Hu Jin near his office.”

“Is there anything I can do to help?” Shen Yin looked at Wu Zheng earnestly. She could help very little with the drug bust, but she also wanted to do her best.

Wu Zheng nodded at her. “There’s one thing that you can help with. They suspect that this isn’t the first time this gang has committed a crime. When the person is arrested, I’ll have to trouble you to go to the crime scene to find the site that the body was dismembered and compare it with Tan Li’s scene.”

“No problem.” This was Shen Yin’s duty, so she happily nodded in agreement.

As they were talking, Shen Yin’s phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar cell phone number.

Shen Yin had just picked up the phone when she heard a gloomy male voice on the other end. “Aren’t you even going to come home?”
