Sense of Security

Wen Yanqing had been waiting outside.

The people who came to attend the banquet for Wen Yanqing thought that they would have made a wasted trip today. When they heard that he had arrived, many came over to greet him.

Yi Qian stood in front of them and politely engaged in conversation.

Seeing Wen Yanqing’s calm and indifferent demeanor and lack of interest in talking, the guests exchanged a few words and left disappointed.

When Lin Gantang opened the door, Wen Yanqing’s eyes immediately focused on her. He took a step forward but hesitated, controlling the urge to get closer to her.

He handed the items to her.

“Thank you for today,” Lin Gantang said. The faint fragrance of perfume and shower gel on her body gently entered his nostrils. As she reached forward to take the bag, her hand accidentally brushed against the back of his hand.

Soft, and slightly cool.

Wen Yanqing’s fingertips moved slightly, and he replied softly, “You’re welcome.”

Perhaps it was because she had been frightened, Lin Gantang’s lips turned slightly pale. Seeing that everything in her bag was intact, she decided to go find Lin Zhaonan.

As with every other time, Wen Yanqing stood still, watching her depart.

However, this time, he noticed that she turned back and asked him, “Shall we go together? Let’s go to my brother’s place.”

Wen Yanqing was taken aback but then smiled gently. “Sure.”

Only then did Lin Gantang notice the shallow dimple on Wen Yanqing’s face, and she couldn’t help stealing a few more glances.

Unfortunately, Wen Yanqing’s smile faded away. He gazed at her gently, with bright eyes, as if asking her what was wrong.

Lin Gantang shifted her gaze and walked ahead.

Her ears were slightly warm. When she saw Wen Yanqing earlier, her mind was filled with the image of him hugging her.

The unprecedented sense of security that Wen Yanqing provided during the dangerous situation left her feeling confused. She carefully recalled the lingering feelings, which seemed to be called palpitations.

She felt somewhat uncertain.

Jiang Tongtong was quite frightened, and Lin Zhaonan was comforting her.

Mr. Yin and Yin Zhen were aware that someone intentionally pushed her into the water, and their expressions turned serious.

As the villa was private property and no surveillance cameras were installed near the fishing platform, Jiang Tongtong mentioned that she didn’t recognize those people. She explained that a young girl approached her, claiming to be lost on her first visit, and shyly asked for Jiang Tongtong’s help in searching for her brother.

Jiang Tongtong found her appearance innocent and agreed to assist her, not expecting that the person had an innocent face but an evil heart.

“Mr. Wen.” Lin Zhaonan greeted Wen Yanqing, who followed along.

Wen Yanqing nodded.

“When Mr. Wen went over, did you see who it was?” Lin Zhaonan asked.

“I only saw their backs as they ran away.”

Wen Yanqing came to find Lin Gantang, and when he saw how busy she was, he instinctively followed her. Le Yu noticed that one after another, the guests seemed hurried and followed them out of curiosity.

“If we had photos of them, would you be able to recognize them?” Lin Zhaonan asked Jiang Tongtong.

Jiang Tongtong nodded.

“Everyone who came here received invitations, and people within the circle wouldn’t do something so foolish out of consideration for their reputation,” Mr. Yin said. “I’m afraid they might have followed the guests in under some pretense. I’ll have someone check the guest list, but it might take some time. I’m truly sorry for what happened today.”

Lin Zhaonan nodded. “I understand, Uncle Yin. Tongtong and Gantang were also scared today. We’ll head back now.”

Mr. Yin and Yin Zhen personally accompanied them out.

Wen Yanqing remained behind, watching the Lin family’s car leave before turning to talk to Mr. Yin.

His back was against the light, and his expression was hidden in the shadows. His gentleness was also diluted. “Intentionally pushing someone into the water constitutes a charge of intentional harm. Find the culprits and report it to the police.”

Yin Hongjiang understood that he wanted to stand up for Lin Gantang.

This situation was somewhat complicated. He replied, “It might be difficult to ascertain. After all, there were no other witnesses, and Miss Jiang and Miss Lin didn’t suffer any actual injuries.”

“We still have to make them pay a price,” Wen Yanqing said.
