Chapter 122

I am an orphan, Si Boning is an orphan, and even the maid Katie is an orphan adopted by Thomas.Although Thomas seldom left Sherlock Castle, from time to time, some inexplicable people would come to visit him.Those people may look noble or glamorous, or domineering or witty and calm, but they are all extremely respectful when facing Thomas, and even show a trace of fear involuntarily.

This has gone far beyond the attitude that one should have towards friends, elders, or superiors. On the contrary, it is more like the jealousy and fear of slaves towards their masters.Besides, there was the silent murder in this study five years ago.

Looking at Thomas' cold smile on the floor, Jiahuan couldn't help but think of the ambiguous whimper in the throat of the European whose tongue had been pulled out.

What kind of courage does that man need to watch the chainsaw tearing his arm apart from his body?

Jiahuan thought of those mysterious rooms and the sudden appearance of members of the Shadow Team, and couldn't help trembling. The comfortable and luxurious life made her almost forget to explore and doubt.

"No! It's not true, it's not—" Jia Huan couldn't bear the grief in her heart anymore, she closed her eyes and threw herself into Si Boning's arms like a wind.

Si Boning seemed to have been prepared for a long time, he opened his arms and firmly hugged Jiahuan's trembling delicate body.Si Boning gently patted her smooth and smooth back that was exposed outside the evening dress, and his voice was as warm as a spring, slowly flowing into Jiahuan's cracked heart:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Ning~" Jia Huan finally opened her heart and burst into tears.Warm tears fell like a storm, wetting his snow-white shirt.Si Boning felt his chest was frozen, moist and tight, and his whole heart convulsed with the twitching of the person in his arms.

"I don't care, I don't care if my father is a gentry, a knight, or a commercial spy. I only know that he treats me well. He helped me avenge my parents. He gave me a warm home again. He made me happy. Have family affection again. Apart from you, he is the only one who treats me best!"

Jia Huan sobbed and finished speaking intermittently what was in her heart, then suddenly pushed away Si Baining's tight chest and raised her head, a sharp ice front appeared in her misty eyes.She bit her lower lip tightly, a drop of bright red slowly oozing out, dyeing the crystal white teeth gorgeously and poignantly. Finally, she took a deep breath, biting the salty smell from the corner of her mouth, and her voice was clanging like a knife and an axe:

"How did Daddy die? You know, don't you!"

"I—" Si Baining hesitated to speak, his eyes were messed up.

Seeing his eyes dodge, Jia Huan suddenly grabbed his hand, staring firmly at Si Baining's messy gaze: "Say!"

Si Baining hesitated, and said slowly: "I'm not sure it's him."

"Who?!" Jiahuan clenched her hands, angry and determined.

"I sent the guests away and went back to my room to rest. When I walked to the second floor, I saw the door of the study room was open, and I heard Zhao Nianen and Thomas arguing fiercely in the study room. I shouldn't have bothered, but when I walked around the corner and was about to push When the door entered the bedroom, the sound suddenly became more intense and weird... When I finally decided to come over and take a look, Thomas had fallen to the ground and was dying and speechless."

Jia Huan's eyes were blazing with flames: "Zhao Nian'en! Why didn't you stop him? Others!"

"When I rushed over, he wasn't in the study, or he had already left the study. So—" Si Boning said.

"Why! Could there be a second person?!" Jia Huan said, shaking off Si Baining's hand, and rushed out the door.

"No family fun!"

Si Boning grabbed Jiahuan, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and spun her to his chest:

"Don't be impulsive. No matter who the murderer is, Thomas must have been assassinated by the enemy. Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. Besides, we can't conclude that it was Zhao Nianen who did it, maybe someone else, or Zhao Nianen is just a pawn."

Si Boning's breathing heat sprayed on Jiahuan's cheeks, and after bouts of dizziness, everything became flickering and indistinct.

Jiahuan had no idea, she only wanted to avenge Thomas, but she forgot the countless enemies behind Thomas, and how cruel those people were.

"Then what should I do? Is that the way to go?!" The pain of losing a loved one again made her resentful and unwilling. Jiahuan was not a person who forbears without reason, let alone the hatred of killing her father.

"Of course not!" Si Boning sternly said, three simple words popped out of Si Boning's mouth, killing and decisive.

Si Boning loosened his arms, released Jia Huan from his arms, and walked towards the door of the study.

With gloomy eyes, he closed the door cautiously, turned around and continued:

"Once the news of Thomas' death is made public, his true identity will inevitably be exposed, and it will be difficult for you and me to get rid of the relationship. Not to mention that those enemies will not let us go, it is also difficult for us to deal with the international police. Although Zhao Nianen is the most suspected, but At present, instead of moving him, we have to win him over and gain his trust."

"why?!"

Jia Huan's eyes were slightly red, and she was already dazzled by hatred, unable to think rationally.She didn't understand why she couldn't question Zhao Nianen, she couldn't avenge Thomas straightforwardly, but she wanted to win over the biggest suspect who killed Thomas——Zhao Nianen.

Si Baining's gaze gradually became gentle:

"Now there are only the two of us left. We are so weak that we can't compete with the enemies hiding in the dark. Besides, if the matter is not clear, the opposition forces in the family will definitely not let us go. If Zhao Nianen didn't do it, we Once you gain his trust, it is equivalent to finding a backer, no matter who the enemy is, you should be afraid of it."

"What if Zhao Nianen did it?! Then don't we recognize the thief as our father?!"

Jiahuan was dissatisfied. Subconsciously, she had long regarded Zhao Nianen as an old enemy.

"If Zhao Nian'en really did it, we can show intimacy and dependence on him, but he can numb him and dispel his doubts and concerns about us. In this way, it will be easier for us to find opportunities for revenge. There is a Chinese saying that 'a little can't bear it. A big conspiracy', we have to endure it now." After finishing speaking, Si Boning held Jiahuan's hand:

"Jiahuan~ If you want to avenge Thomas, we must first get close to Zhao Nian'en. And your marriage contract with Xiao Yinuo is the best excuse and way to get close to him."

"..." Jia Huan's heart trembled, and she slowly raised her head to look at Si Baining thoughtfully, as if looking at a stranger.But this face is the one she is most familiar with and loves the most.

I have to admit that Si Boning's analysis of the current situation of the two is very rational and wise.Since Zhao Nianen dared to assassinate Thomas at Fort Sherlock, he naturally would not take them two seriously.Yes, although Jiahuan does not rule out the possibility of other murderers, he has already regarded Zhao Nianen as the most suspect.

Sherlock Castle without Thomas is like a giant whose heart has been gouged out. No matter how proud and brilliant he is, he has to accept the arrangement of fate and bow his head to reality.

As for Jiahuan and Si Boning, they are nothing more than a small button on this giant, how can they stop this collapse? !

Instead of tearing and biting wildly, thinking that it is a pleasure to head-to-head with the invincible, it is better to pretend to be stupid and wait for the opportunity to wipe out the paralyzed murderer.

The truth couldn't be more clear. After Jiahuan thought it over, she was naturally willing to endure the humiliation and seek a chance to avenge Thomas.

But Si Boning wanted to use that inexplicable engagement to link her with Xiao Yinuo, didn't he know what it would mean? !

Jiahuan shook her head in disbelief:

"Can you really watch me marry someone else? And that person is very likely to be the nephew who killed his father and enemy? If that day comes, I will marry him and have sex with him, and you will be able to remain indifferent Turn a blind eye? Can you really accept it?!"

"Jiahuan~ You know that I love you. Even if we don't avenge Thomas, the other party may not let us go and kill us together. Instead of worrying about the assassination that may come at any time, we should worry about the future. Be safe and happy, so that we can grow old together with peace of mind, take the initiative and gamble on this one! Besides, you and I have no other choice now." Si Boning spoke burningly.

"..." Jiahuan was speechless.

There is no other choice, such desolate and helpless words were spoken by Si Baining so righteously, making Jiahuan irrefutable.It is impossible for her not to avenge Thomas, and it is impossible for her to be a fish on the enemy's chopping board.Regardless of whether she is willing or not, whether it is right or wrong, Jiahuan seems to have to give up her skin in exchange for a stable life for the two of them.

"If I have to give it to him sooner or later, then I must give it to you first." Jiahuan said with tears.

Si Boning was moved when he saw Jia Huan hug him into his arms: "I understand, but now is not the time to be willful. You go back to your room first, as usual, don't show your flaws. I'll stay and deal with it."

Jiahuan finally found a trace of warmth in her lover's arms. She gradually calmed down and nodded, looking at Thomas, who was as peaceful as a deep sleep, and secretly swore: no matter what price it takes, she will definitely avenge her father!Then, go back to the ordinary life you want...

Jiahuan pushed open the door, and left the study with heavy steps, the corridor was so quiet that one could almost hear the sound of herself stepping on the carpet.Jia Huan was inexplicably restless, always felt that something was wrong, her back felt a little cold, as if there were countless pairs of eyes watching her.

Jiahuan suddenly thought of Katie, the girl who was adopted by Thomas on the same day as her, how sad she would be if she learned of Thomas' death.

In the past, Katie paid so much attention to her every move that it was annoying, but Jiahuan didn't see her again after the banquet today.

Maybe it's because they are tired, Sherlock Castle covers an area of ​​tens of hectares, but Katie is the only servant who really takes care of their food and daily life.Katie and Jiahuan have opposite personalities, she prefers to be more lively, so she is also the happiest and hardest one at every banquet.

It's okay if she doesn't know.Whenever she thinks of Katie, Jiahuan can't help but think of that night under the bright moonlight, the scene that Katie performed next to the bushes made her sick.Now that Daddy is gone, Katie can't stay either.
