My Amazing Boyfriend

After a few days of Xue Lingqiao's care and brainwashing, Tian Jingzhi couldn't let it go of the matter completely, but she was no longer as distressed.

Tian Jingzhi came back from a morning run and heard the sound of a juicer coming from the kitchen.
Red dragon fruit, bitter gourd, lemon, and some vegetables were placed on a chopping board, and Xue Lingqiao was seriously juicing them.pu retl .

“I followed a recipe and squeezed a very healthy vegetable juice.
Surely, this time you will definitely not suffer from food poisoning.”

Although it was specially made for  her, Tian Jingzhi couldn't help laughing dryly: “Drink it yourself, I have no appetite now.”

Xue Lingqiao directly handed the juice to her with a look of anticipation: “Red is the most appetizing color, come and try it!”

Tian Jingzhi swallowed her saliva.
Not wanting to disappoint Xue Lingqiao, she took the juice with a face full of determination.
Not a big deal to be poisoned again.
She tilted her head and drank it all in one go.

“Your action of drinking juice was quite domineering.” Xue Lingqiao suddenly approached her and lowered his head.
He gently wiped the juice residue from the corners of her mouth with his fingers.
This action was sudden, Tian Jingzhi stared at him for two seconds before suddenly turnly around shyly.
She then proceeded to walk out of the kitchen in a weirdly stiff manner.

Hiding in the bathroom, Tian Jingzhi desperately poured cold water on her face.
Her face in the mirror was flushed, and her heartbeat couldn't help speeding up.

Xue Lingqiao touched his chest.
Why was it jumping so fast? Tian Jingzhi must be reading men's magazines while squatting in the bathroom… What a bad taste, Xue Lingqiao went out inexplicably.pu retl .

Today was the day for the wake ceremony of the deceased couple.
All the relatives and friends of the husband and wife came.
Mr.
Kan's sister, who was in her thirties, stood in front of the tombstone, dressed in a little black dress.
Her eyes were red.

After the ceremony was over and all relatives and friends left, Li Yanzhi came with a bouquet in his hands, and bowed to the family, “Miss Kan, my condolences.”

“Thank you.
You are..?”

“Hello, my name is Li Yanzhi.
I'm the police officer involved in the investigation of this case.”

Miss Kan looked at him and bowed deeply, “I beg you to find the murderer as soon as possible.”

“I'm here for that very reason.” Li Yanzhi said cautiously, “Can you tell me about them, in detail?”

Miss Kan nodded with a sad look on her face.

“My parents died early, and my brother and sister-in-law raised me.
They are honest people and have never had a grudge against anyone.
A few years ago, my sister-in-law had a serious illness and needed an operation, and I needed to go abroad, so my brother had sold an ancestral piece of jade from the Ming Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, this money ended up killing my brother and sister-in-law.”

“The burglary was just a speculation.
Miss Kan, when was the last time you two communicated?”

“Last Saturday, I even told them that I would go on vacation to see them as soon as I finished my case.” She seemed to remember something sad, she covered her mouth, and cried in a low voice.

Li Yanzhi hurriedly handed over a tissue, not knowing how to comfort her, so he could only stand silently.pu retl .

Xue Lingqiao, who was hiding in the distance at the moment, listened to their conversation, and suddenly had an idea.

After Miss Kan left the cemetery, she went directly back to the hotel where she stayed.

“Miss Kan, please wait.” Seeing Miss Kan walking into the hotel lobby wearily, Xue Lingqiao got up from the sofa in the lounge area.
He walked towards her, and said politely, “Just now my colleague Officer Li called me and said he forgot some details, and wanted to ask a few more questions regarding the jade you mentioned.”

Miss Kan had no doubts and went to the rest area with Xue Lingqiao to sit down.

“Is it this?” Xue Lingqiao handed over the photo of the jade annulus.

She took a closer look at the photo, nodded and said, “Yes, this is our family heirloom, but for the sake of living, my brother sold it a few years ago…
Officer Xue, does this really have anything to do with the case?”

“There are many things in this world that seem unrelated, but they are actually very important.
I want to know more about this jade annulus, such as its origin.”

After listening to Xue Lingqiao's explanation, Miss Kan nodded in understanding, and picked up the photo again.

“Its origin is indeed very special.
When my father was still there, he told my brother and I this story many times.
It was more than 100 years ago.
My great-grandfather owned a pawnshop, and it rained a lot that night.
A man wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat came in a hurry to pawn something: it was this very Phoenix Jade Annulus.
My great-grandfather asked him of its origin, but the other party was reluctant to say.
However, he was very anxious to sell it and run, so the grandfather was able to haggle the price and bought the jade.”

“The jade annulus of unknown origin, I'm afraid it's not his…” Xue Lingqiao speculated.pu retl .

“The phoenix jade annulus was very valuable, my great-grandfather also had the same thought as you.
Later, my great-grandfather found a hidden compartment in the wooden cedar box that contained the jade annulus.
There was a picture in that hidden compartment, and the person who had sold the jade to him was in that photo.” Miss Kan took a sip of tea and continued, “The jade annulus was never bought back, and my great-grandfather was reluctant to sell it, so he left it as a family heirloom.”

Xue Lingqiao thoughtfully asked, “Was there anyone else in the photo?”

Miss Kan recalled for a moment, “An old lady was sitting on a chair, and behind her, stood the young man who came to pawn the jade annulus.

“What about that old photo?”

“My great-grandfather handed it down to me.
When the jade annulus was sold a few years ago, my brother left that photo and kept it at home.”

Xue Lingqiao fell into a deep contemplation, and did not speak for a while.
The young man in the photo should be his enemy.
As long as he gets the photo, everything will be solved.pu retl .

Miss Kan sighed: “If it wasn't for life, my brother wouldn't have sold it.
He has always blamed himself.”

“Everything in life has its purpose.
When your ancestors handed down this jade annulus, it was because they knew of its value.
They hoped that one day, their future generations will be able to use it when there is no other way out.
Otherwise, no matter how good it is, it is just a useless thing.”

Miss Kan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled relieved after thinking about it.

“Strange, I don't know why, but after listening to you, it seems that my heart is relieved all of a sudden…
Thank you…”

Xue Lingqiao nodded in response, he was the one who should thank her: for getting such an important clue.
