The moment Jian Sichen looked over, Lu Yanbai already had the answer in his mind without saying a word.

"why?"

He thought this was an excuse and reason Leng Li made up to agree with him.

I never thought it was true.

But he couldn't figure it out.

Why did my brother do this?

Jian Sichen did not answer his question directly, but asked in return: "Did Leng Li tell you?"

Lu Yanbai did not directly answer his question, but continued to ask: "I just want to know why? I know that no matter what you do, you must have your reasons.

After Leng Li told me, I didn't believe it immediately. I wanted you to tell me in person, why did you do this? What is your purpose? "

Jian Sichen looked at him, his eyes flickering.

"I'm doing this for your own good!"

Lu Yanbai remained calm.

"For my own good??"

Jian Sichen explained: "Leng Li approached you intentionally from the beginning. Her identity in the orphanage was fake. She was instructed by her mother to approach you for revenge."

"Revenge?" Lu Yanbai raised his eyebrows: "I don't even know her mother, and I have no grudges against her mother. Why would she want revenge on me?"

He has lived an honest life and has never done anything that he would feel guilty about.

Where did the enemy come from?

"I don't know. I tortured her, but her mother was very stubborn and refused to say anything. I had no choice but to put them under house arrest."

Lu Yanbai asked, "If that's the case, why didn't you tell me at the beginning? Why did you let her write a breakup letter? I kept asking myself if I didn't do something well enough, so she left me and chose another man? You just stood there and watched me suffer."

Jian Sichen stood up and said anxiously, "I'm doing this for your own good! This is the first time you've fallen in love with a woman. Do you want me to know that you don't know how to judge people? Do you want me to know that the woman you love is deliberately trying to harm you?

I have no other choice but to put them both under house arrest so that they can't hurt you again.

I just didn’t know they would come back!”

Lu Yan's eyes were blank for a moment.

After a moment, he found his voice again and said dumbly: "I want to see Leng Li's mother. I want to find out why she wants revenge on me?"

Jian Sichen said: "I don't know where her mother is now?

I sent the mother and daughter to a faraway place under house arrest, and assigned four bodyguards to monitor them in shifts, and also sent a local nanny to take care of them.

But this time when they escaped back, the bodyguard and nanny were missing, and even her mother was missing.

I am sending people to look for them now.”

His people have been looking for a whole year.

Still no trace.

He guessed that these five people were most likely killed.

In such a remote place, if you kill a few people and dump the bodies, it would be hard for anyone to notice.

All the clues seem to have ended here.

Lu Yanbai looked straight into Jian Sichen's eyes and asked word by word, "Besides this matter, are there any other things you are hiding from me?"

Jian Sichen choked in his throat and opened his thin lips as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back in the end.

"no!"

At present, it is still unknown what the purpose of Leng Li and her son is.

Who was the person who rescued them?

It’s better not to tell Lu Yanbai before finding out the truth, so as to avoid making one more person worry.

Lu Yanbai stared at him quietly for a while.

"Okay, I got it! Go ahead and do your work. I'll be leaving first."

His expression was dull and he looked not happy.

Jian Sichen knew that he was angry and he was indeed wrong in this matter. No matter whether his starting point was good or bad, he should not have made the decision on his own without telling Xiaobai.

Afraid that this incident would create a rift between the two brothers, he walked out from behind the desk and grabbed Lu Yanbai's wrist at the door.

"sorry!"

Lu Yanbai stopped and turned to look at him.

Jian Sichen said sincerely from the bottom of his heart: "I did handle this matter improperly and caused you to be hurt. I'm sorry, I apologize to you."

Lu Yanbai said calmly and indifferently: "You are doing this for my own good, you are not wrong!"

"But you..."

Jian Sichen's heart continued to sink.

Lu Yanbai interrupted him: "I need some quiet time!"

Jian Sichen refused to give up and said, "I don't want us brothers to have conflicts because of this matter! That woman Leng Li has bad intentions. You should not see her again and you must keep your distance from her. I don't want you to get hurt. You..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Yanbai pushed him away.

"I told you, I need some quiet time!"

This time, his tone finally showed some ups and downs, and one could clearly feel the anger contained in it.

Jian Sichen looked at the hand that he had shaken off and was distracted for a moment.

Lu Yanbai rubbed his face vigorously, and said with red eyes: "I am 28 years old this year, almost 30! No matter what happens, I have the ability to handle things.

I know you put Leng Li under house arrest for my own good, and I am very grateful to you.

You don't have to say sorry, and you don't need to say sorry to me! I just hope that you won't hide things from me in the future, and tell me directly.

I am a man. If I can't even withstand such a small blow, then what's the point of me living?

Let me handle my own affairs from now on. I believe I can handle them well, instead of letting Leng Li, a 20-year-old girl, be imprisoned in a remote place.

If she hadn't escaped on her own, she would have wasted her whole life there.

No matter how wrong she is, you should not deprive her of her personal freedom."

After throwing these words out of control, Lu Yanbai opened the door of the study and left without looking back.

Jian Sichen stood there in a daze, without any response for a long time.

Xiaobai is angry.

This was the first time he spoke harshly to himself.

Was he really wrong in the first place?

He did something to hurt Xiaobai in the name of doing good for him?

After leaving the study, Lu Yanbai returned to his room alone, sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, took out his mobile phone, found Leng Li's mobile phone number, and his finger stayed on it for a long time, but he never dialed it.

It turns out that what Leng Li said was true.

Although she was at fault first, it was indeed my brother who put her under house arrest and forced her to write the breakup letter.

Now how to do?

Are things becoming more complicated?

Lu Yanbai kept thinking until the evening but still didn't figure out how to face Leng Li.

In the next few days, the house was filled with a very strange atmosphere.

Lu Yanbai and Jian Sichen didn't speak, and Hua Kexin and Lu Yanbai didn't speak either. The three of them seemed to be worried about something, not only did they not speak, they didn't even look at each other.

Even if their eyes accidentally meet, they will look away immediately.

Especially Hua Kexin.

As time went by, she became more and more angry, and was in a rage every day, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Even though Shen Wei was slow to react, she could sense that something was wrong.

After everyone had dinner, when Hua Kexin returned to her room, she followed her in.
