Katie took the card and looked at it, then raised her eyes to Si Boning:

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. It's a pity that I didn't help you find that will... It's over, I hope you don't blame me."

Si Boning's eyes flickered slightly, as expected, Thomas' death had nothing to do with Katie, but at this moment, he had no time to delve into it further.

"Let's go." After Si Boning finished speaking, he walked into the castle without looking back.

Katie looked at his back as he resolutely left, and smiled helplessly, she knew that Si Baining would not let go until he achieved his goal.Before getting into the car, Katie glanced at the direction of Thomas's study, secretly thankful that she did not tell Si Boning the secret under the desk, otherwise she might never have the chance to get out of this castle again...

Jiahuan walked up and down the room restlessly, waiting for the opening of a big show.After a while, there was a loud noise downstairs, as if something had been knocked to the ground.

When Jiahuan walked to the door, Si Boning stumbled and ran upstairs, shouting loudly in the corridor:

"No, no, sir, he—"

Jia Huan's eyes were full of fear, and she stayed where she was, motionless, unable to hide her panic.She is not acting, but panic from the heart.Jiahuan didn't know if the future would go as planned by Si Boning.

What if Zhao Nianen was the murderer, and instead of taking the bait, he killed two people to silence him?Or, Zhao Nianen was innocent, fearing being implicated and regretting his marriage, he left, so who would be the real murderer? !Jia Huan didn't know how to deal with herself, not only could she not avenge her father, but she might die every minute.

Or, Zhao Nianen is the murderer, and he also believed in Jiahuan and Si Boning, but this does not mean that Jiahuan must have the ability and opportunity to avenge Thomas...

Jiahuan didn't have confidence. She even forgot all the knowledge she had learned in the Rose Academy. She forgot that she could accurately aim at the target and pull the trigger without hesitation. She forgot that she was familiar with the preparation methods of dozens of poisons. At this moment, I should continue to ask.

Si Baining frowned, seeing Jiahuan was in a daze, couldn't help but raised his hand and shook her shoulder:

"Moy~sir, he——is dead." Si Boning's voice became softer and softer, seeing Jia Huan staring blankly at him, he felt a little anxious.Worried that Jiahuan will mess up and lose all previous efforts.

Jia Huan slowly raised her eyes, the sad news Si Boning said woke her up like a bolt from the blue.Yes, Daddy is dead, no matter how unwilling she is, this has become a fact and cannot be changed.The light of resentment shot out from Jiahuan's eyes:

"Daddy——" Jia Huan yelled, grabbed Si Baining's wrist instead, opened her eyes wide and kept asking:

"What's going on? Why is this happening?! Daddy, yesterday—yesterday was fine! It was fine—"

Jiahuan roared wildly, turning all the resentment and helplessness in her heart into a mournful roar and released it from her mouth.

There were rustling footsteps in the spiral staircase, and Zhao Nianen, who was staying at Sherlock Castle, was obviously attracted by Jiahuan's mournful shouts.

"Mr. Zhao." Si Boning saw Zhao Nianen first, he broke away from Jiahuan's hand and bowed respectfully.

Zhao Nianen's expression was serious, he glanced at Si Boning, then at Jiahuan who was still sniffling, and then slowly said:

"What happened? What is Miss Moy crying about?"

After hearing this, Si Boning lowered his head slightly, showing a sad expression: "Sir Thomas passed away last night."

Zhao Nianen's bloated body visibly trembled, and his breathing gradually became rapid. He glanced at Jiahuan again, turned his head to Si Baining and said, "Where is Jazz now?!"

"In the bedroom." Si Boning didn't dare to neglect, and said respectfully.

After hearing this, Zhao Nianen didn't go downstairs immediately, but gently patted Jiahuan's arm:

"Moy, don't be afraid. If this really happens, don't forget you still have a home in China."

After Zhao Nianen finished speaking, he turned and walked downstairs.Si Boning glanced at Jia Huan, followed closely behind, and also followed.

When Jiahuan heard Zhao Nianen say "home", tears formed lines on her cheeks.I have to admit that Zhao Nianen's words were very touching. The first thing he thought of was that Jiahuan had lost his adoptive father and family. He did not exaggerately promise to give Jiahuan his father's love, but he took Jiahuan as his own family for granted.

If Zhao Nian'en wasn't the main suspect in killing Thomas, based on this sentence alone, Jiahuan would give him his heart regardless of his own life.Jia Huan chewed her tears and bit two rows of deep tooth marks on her lips.She told herself that she couldn't be defeated by this sentence, even if she really needed love and care, she couldn't be defeated by this simple sentence of concern!

Si Baining heard with his own ears that Zhao Nianen and his father had a dispute, and then his father fell to the ground and died, Zhao Nianen fled the scene, who else could it be if he didn't do it? !

Jiahuan, who has lived in Sherlock Castle for eight years, knows Thomas's strength better than anyone else, and there is no one else in this castle.That night, the only person who could get close to Thomas was this man named Zhao Nianen.

Although Thomas has no scars on his body, and there is no evidence of murder, in Jiahuan's eyes, the invisible method of killing is just a pediatrician. How can it be so rare to fall into the "friend" who is about to marry Thomas, Zhao Nian'en?To be someone trusted by Thomas must have extraordinary strength.

Jiahuan took a deep breath, not knowing what kind of deep hatred between Zhao Nianen and Thomas had chosen to harm him on the night when the engagement was announced.Maybe, Si Baining is clear...

Thinking about it, Jiahuan walked down the stairs slowly, she wanted to see Daddy for the last time.This French man who raised her for eight years, who gave her endless pampering and paternal love.Thinking that Thomas's blue eyes could no longer be opened, Jiahuan's heart felt as if someone had gouged it out, and the pain was unbearable.

Walking to the door of Thomas' room, Jiahuan desperately suppressed the urge to scream, and walked unwillingly to Thomas' bed.

Si Boning stepped aside nervously, but it was Zhao Nianen who, seeing Jia Huan's expression of grief, couldn't stop trembling uncontrollably, he took the initiative to put his arms around Jia Huan's shoulders to give him some comfort.

Jiahuan wanted to struggle, but was powerless.I have to say that Zhao Nianen's actions are very considerate and his chest is extremely warm, but Jiahuan still feels that this is a hypocrite.

Jiahuan gritted her teeth, suppressing her urge to tear Zhao Nianen apart, calmly looked at Thomas's pale and familiar face, and meditated and prayed in her heart, hoping that Thomas would bless her to avenge her revenge as soon as possible, so that the murderer would pay with blood!

Although Si Boning did not want to make public the news of Thomas' death, the news still spread like wildfire.This is mainly because Zhao Nianen insisted on asking Dr. Brown to diagnose Thomas' cause of death.

Jia Huan didn't say a word, and secretly despised Zhao Nianen's good acting, as if he could get rid of the suspicion by calling a doctor to confirm that Thomas died suddenly at night.Lie ghost!Jiahuan sneered.

Hearing Jia Huan's sneer, Si Boning's face turned pale, and his knuckles twitched slightly.Si Boning glanced left and right, seeing that Zhao Nianen didn't notice Jia Huan's expression, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his gaze towards Jia Huan gradually became sharper.

As if feeling the sharpness, Jia Huan raised her head suddenly, and met her boss Bo Ning's eyes. Their eyes met, but within a short moment, both sides were hurt.

Seeing this family's sad look, Si Boning couldn't feel a pang in his heart.Thomas' death was a mixed blessing for him.Although he didn't kill Thomas himself, the enemy was gone after all, but it was a pity that it happened so fast that he didn't expect it.

The will, wealth, and inheritance left by his father Si Qishan are still missing.Si Baining was not reconciled to the silent fall of the Holy Mountain Group, and was not reconciled to the fact that his mother's life was so easily perished by the executioner's knife.

Jia Huan was stunned by Si Boning's eyes, he was always gentle and refined, but he had never had such sharp eyes like ice peaks.

Jia Huan's heartbeat became disordered, her brows gradually furrowed, and Si Baining seemed to be a different person.

"Moy, do you think this is a good way to handle this matter?" Zhao Nianen turned to look at Jiahuan, asking for advice.

Jiahuan came back to her senses and looked at Zhao Nianen and Dr. Brown.Dr. Brown has always been Thomas' personal doctor and health consultant, a good friend of Thomas and Jiahuan, and a distinguished guest of Sherlock Castle.His opinion on the death of Thomas was to notify the Congress and the Kabbalah family in accordance with normal procedures, and publish the obituary in major newspapers across the country.

Dr. Brown's idea is very simple, because Thomas is an honored duke and enjoys a high social status in France, so it is understandable to do so.But Si Boning and Zhao Nianen's opinions were closer. They did not approve of the grand burial, but hoped to keep a low profile and keep the news within a small area, so as not to cause unnecessary turmoil and panic.

After all, the wealth and influence held by Thomas are huge, and every gesture is enough to affect the entire international financial situation, let alone such a major change as death.

The two sides have different opinions, and Zhao Nianen naturally needs to ask Thomas' adopted daughter Moy for her opinion.

Jia Huan listened to Si Boning's narration, pondered for a moment, and said slowly:

"Daddy has been a low-key person all his life. I think he doesn't want to make too much publicity after he passes away."

With one word set, Dr. Brown had nothing to say, nodded and went to prepare for the funeral.Si Boning was worried and wanted to accompany Dr. Brown to make arrangements, but he also felt uneasy when he saw Jia Huan's distraught and pensive look.

Jia Huan slowly raised her eyes and looked at Si Boning. This look, like a tranquilizer, made Si Boning feel more at ease.He finally decided to accompany Dr. Brown out to prepare supplies for the funeral.

Zhao Nianen sat next to Jia Huan, rubbed his fat palms, and was about to comfort him when Jia Huan suddenly fell into his arms and began to sob.Zhao Nianen was caught off guard by Jia Huan's actions, raised and lowered his palms, looked at Jia Huan's trembling shoulders, neither patting nor not patting.

After crying for a long time, Jiahuan wiped away her tears, sat up straight with a bit of shyness and reserve:

"Sorry, I'm so sad~"
