“You are acting weird,” Jian Yiling replied with certainty.

However, she was not that good at reading people’s emotions.

As a result, she couldn’t say what was weird or strange about Zhai Yunsheng.

It was just that he was acting differently from usual.

“Hmm, maybe it’s because the weather has been cold recently. I haven’t been feeling that well.”

“You don’t feel well?” Jian Yiling repeated as she got up to walk over to Zhai Yunsheng. She reached out to touch Zhai Yunsheng’s forehead.

His forehead temperature felt fine.

Then, Jian Yiling put her ear against Zhai Yunsheng’s heartbeat.

“Your heartbeat is a bit fast,” Jian Yiling said as a frown appeared on her face.

“It’s fine,” Zhai Yunsheng replied as he hurriedly looked away.

His heartbeat would naturally accelerate when she got so close to him.

However, Jian Yiling did not believe in Zhai Yunsheng’s words: “If you don’t feel well, you need to tell me. You need to rest to get better.”

“I’m not sick,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. Then, he attempted to change the topic of conversation: “You still haven’t told me how you plan to deal with Qin Chuan.”

“Bring down the Qin family,” Jian Yiling answered.

These five words were quite terrifying. However, Jian Yiling said them as though it was a very light and inconsequential thing.

If someone else was present, they’d assume that Jian Yiling was severely overestimating her capabilities. In fact, they’d call her insane.

Even the Zhai family did not have the confidence to do so.

However, Jian Yiling had considered this for a while. After all, the Qin family was her nightmare. It was something that she had been constantly scared of.

She had been attempting to avoid the original plot of the novel. Yet somehow, she could not escape.

If she couldn’t escape, then she had to do something about it.

If she succeeded in bringing down the Qin family, then she definitely would be able to escape the original plot of the novel.

And if she failed, then she did her best.

She was willing to accept such a result.

Zhai Yunsheng looked at Jian Yiling with some incredulity.

The answer she gave was rather unexpected. He expected her to be more conflicted about what to do.

Zhai Yunsheng laughed. He wasn’t mocking her. Rather, his smile was appreciative and filled with love.

Zhai Yunsheng remembered the first time he was impressed with Jian Yiling. Back then, he gave her the evidence that He Yan had stolen the footage.

Her reaction and calmness made her stand out from everyone else.

Furthermore, her eyes were also clean and clear. Although she was sometimes confused, she still had stubbornness within them.

He liked everything about her.

“If you bring down the Qin family, then what about Qin Chuan? And Qin Yufan? As of now, Qin Chuan is the Head of the Qin family,” Zhai Yunsheng reminded.

His eyes were fixated on Jian Yiling. He was waiting for her answer.

“I will solve this problem before I consider anything else.”

This meant that for the time being, she would not consider anything that followed.

“Mhmm.”

This time, Zhai Yunsheng responded with satisfaction in his voice.

“Then who do you plan to discuss this with? Superintendent Ruan? Li Zhuojia? Or Luo Xiuen?” Zhai Yunsheng asked again.

“Superintendent Ruan,” Jian Yiling responded without any hesitation in her voice.

As this matter was related to investigations, it was best to discuss the matter with Superintendent Ruan and the rest of the Special Crimes Investigation Division.

Jian Yiling assumed that she was meant to be answering a simple three-option multiple-choice question.

“Very good.”

“Huh?”

Why did he seem upset?

Zhai Yunsheng suddenly got up and turned to walk towards his bedroom.

“Where are you going?” Jian Yiling asked.

“To sleep.”

“Now?” It wasn’t yet time for him to sleep.

“Yes, now.”

It appeared as though she didn’t need his help anyways! Therefore, he might as well just go to sleep!
