Daring! She cheated in the thriller game

"I'm a half-elf, different from them..." Erwin said softly. The fact that he was a half-elf troubled him throughout his childhood, and he could never let it go. "I was born by someone else, not the child of the mother tree. Not long after I was born, my biological mother sent me back to the Elf Forest. After that, the mother tree has been raising me."

"So that's how it is." Yu Lan nodded in sudden realization. She didn't continue to ask him what kind of half-elf he was, nor did she ask why his biological parents sent him back to the Elf Forest, and where they went after that.

Yu Lan twisted her fingers unconsciously and continued, "At that time, I heard the Elf Mother Tree say that it would send you away. You were a little unhappy, but after a while you fell asleep in the arms of the Mother Tree."

"Huh?" Alvin was a little surprised. After hearing what Yu Lan said, he remembered which memory it was.

Not long after that, the Elf Mother Tree called a man with long hair and handed the young boy to the man to be taken away and taken care of.

After that, Erwin followed the Lord God, and there was no news about the Elf Forest.

Yu Lan smiled and guessed the true identity of the person the Elf Mother Tree was talking about: "I was wondering why the Lord God was so weird... He raised you when you were so young, isn't he just like your father?"

She stretched out her hand and gestured, saying, "If the child I raised was led astray by a strange woman, I would be furious."

Erwin's face turned red, and he stammered, "Ms. Yu...Miss Yu, what are you talking about!"

Although it was indeed the Lord God who brought him up and was both his teacher and father, what Yu Lan said seemed... very strange!

Erwin couldn't tell what was strange about it, but it was just strange!

Yu Lan was amused by Erwin's reaction and laughed heartily a few times: "Just kidding, hahaha, you are really funny."

Yu Lan paused, still not mentioning that she had talked to the Elven Mother Tree in Erwin's memory. Her heart sank, and she brought up another matter.

"Do you hate pure-blood elves?"

Erwin was stunned, not knowing why Yu Lan suddenly brought this up: "Why do you ask that?"

Yu Lan did not answer, and asked again: "Do you hate it?"

Elvin shook his head. Although his childhood was not happy, he did not feel much resentment because he had the Mother Elf Tree by his side at that time.

"Not annoying."

"Is that so... That's good." Yu Lan sighed faintly and changed the subject: "I had a dream before."

"People in our line of work generally don't dream often. After all, the stronger your perception, the more likely it is that every dream will indicate something is going to happen."

Erwin couldn't keep up with Yu Lan's jumping thoughts, and listened silently to what she said next.

"I dreamed that a child was captured. They kept doing experiments on the child, even removing all his organs. Finally, they brutally killed him and dumped his body in the wild."

Hearing this, Erwin frowned: "That kid..."

"I thought it was you." Yu Lan said. She looked at Erwin and reached out her hand to touch a few strands of his exposed black hair. "But the hair color is different, the voice is different, and the feeling is different."

"That child has white hair, red eyes, and pointed ears. He is very pretty." Yu Lan raised her eyes and met Erwin's gaze. "Those who captured him said he was an elf."

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating Erwin's face. His expression was cold, his brows slightly furrowed, and Yu Lan vaguely saw a hint of deep green flowing in his eyes, which was very beautiful.

She came back to her senses and continued, "The child asked me for help. I wanted to help him, but it was just a dream. I had already given up hope, but after I came here, I had a vague feeling that he was here."

"Having said all that, I just want to ask you... If I go to save that child, would you have any objection?"

Erwin was a little surprised: "Why do you ask that?"

Yu Lan pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly: "Well... although I really want to help the child, I can't bear to hear him crying. But I'm not a good person. I help my relatives but not others. If you don't like elves, I won't care about this matter."

"After all... After all..." Yu Lan hesitated for a while, and seemed to have made up her mind. She said resignedly, "After all, you are my friend, and he is just a client I agreed to because I was soft-hearted."

Erwin was stunned, staring at Yu Lan blankly. The blush climbed up his neck to his ears, making his skin look even whiter.

Erwin lowered his head quickly to prevent Yu Lan from seeing his current state: "It's okay... It's okay! Just do whatever you want, I don't hate elves!"

As he spoke, he calmed down. He took a deep breath and realized what Yu Lan meant: "You said that the elf was tortured to death?"

"Yeah." Yu Lan nodded: "Didn't Hill mention today that elves are very valuable? Their organs were removed, probably for organ transplants."

Recalling the bloody scene she saw at that time, Yu Lan closed her eyes reluctantly: "I already have a suspect, and all that's left is to find the evidence and the whereabouts of the elf's body."

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Erwin asked.

Yu Lan burst out laughing: "Brother, don't forget who you are and what position you hold now. Besides, it was me who accepted his commission, not you. But don't tell me, maybe there will be something that needs your help."

Erwin nodded: "Just tell me what you need."

Yu Lan laughed widely, finally laughing sincerely: "Then I won't be polite."

It was still raining heavily outside, and the room was only illuminated by a dim candlelight.

Yu Lan looked at the time. It was almost ten o'clock, and the time she had scheduled with the bank manager in the morning was approaching. Thinking of this, she put on her gray cloak, and Erwin followed her out the door.

The bank manager and Yu Lan agreed to meet at the hotel where she was staying. She thought that meeting at ten o'clock was already very late, so she simply booked a room in the same hotel and went back to sleep when the time was up.

Of course, she was now penniless and her identity was unknown, and the money for booking the room was kindly provided by Erwin.

At that time, he reserved the best room with an expressionless face, and then whispered in Yu Lan's ear: "The money belongs to Hill. He has too much money and nowhere to spend it, so help him share it."

Yu Lan exclaimed that this operation was amazing.

When Yu Lan arrived at the agreed box, she found that the bank manager was already waiting there. It was raining heavily outside, his clothes were a little wet, and there were spots of mud on his trouser legs. It seemed that he came in a hurry.

When he saw Yu Lan coming, he quickly stood up and said, "Hello!"

He turned to look at Erwin behind Yu Lan and asked in confusion, "Who is this?"

"Don't worry about him." Yu Lan said lightly. Because the hood blocked her vision, she took it off after sitting down.

Yu Lan looked at the bank manager through the glasses. Although she couldn't really read foreigners' faces, she could make some judgements based on his aura.

Because there were no outsiders present, Yu Lan was too lazy to perform any sleight of hand. The bank manager then discovered that the magician he was looking for had an oriental face and did not look very old, and he began to have doubts in his heart.

Yu Lan didn't care what he was thinking and asked, "You are here for your family's matter, right?"

The bank manager's eyes suddenly widened: "You, how did you know that!"

"I have my own way." Yu Lan said calmly, as if she was not surprised by the result.

In fact, she was just guessing and wanted to explain it in more detail, but considering that her divination ability was not very good, she just gave a vague general idea.

But just this one sentence was enough for the bank manager to dispel his previous concerns, which showed how well she pretended.

The bank manager was too busy to care about so many things. He was a little emotional and said in a trembling voice: "I am indeed here for my family... My children, my two daughters are missing."

"I don't know what's going on in the city recently. Young children keep disappearing. Plus, this is a no-man's land, and no one from the government is taking care of this matter...More and more people are missing, and neither the people nor the bodies can be found. Everyone is very anxious, but there's nothing they can do."

"I heard that some magicians will look for someone, but magicians will not easily let others know their identities. Even if they find someone, they are not willing to help me do this."

As he spoke, he took out a card from his pocket, but his hands shook several times due to his excitement, and the card almost fell to the ground.

He pushed the card in front of Yu Lan and looked at her sincerely, without any trace of the elite face he had during the day: "This is all my wealth, please help me!"

Yu Lan pushed the card back without even looking at how much money was on it.

The bank manager was confused by Yu Lan's calmness: "Sir, do you think it's not enough? This... this is all I can take out. If it's not enough, I can go and borrow..."

Yu Lan rolled her eyes in her heart and said coldly, "It's not about the money. You haven't made yourself clear yet. I'll consider whether to accept the job after you've made everything clear."

The bank manager looked at Yu Lan and said, "Then..."

Yu Lan sneered, and her dark pupils stared directly at the bank manager, which made him feel cold in his heart: "You should have someone you suspect, right? Tell me."

"Just tell me directly, so I don't have to waste time investigating." Yu Lan paused and said, "My time is very precious. I will leave here after the auction. If I delay for too long, your child's life will be in danger."

The bank manager was silent for a long time. He seemed to have calmed down. He looked into the eyes that frightened him inexplicably and asked, "If I tell you, will you help me?"

"Don't waste my time." Yu Lan said softly. If the ghost servant who used to follow Yu Lan heard this tone, he would definitely know that their young lady was on the verge of getting angry.

After a while, the bank manager spoke, his voice trembling: "It was Master Iris... Someone saw a carriage engraved with his family emblem carrying the kidnapped child out of the city."

But after that, the witness died suddenly, and he had no evidence pointing to Master Iris as the one who took his child away.

"Iris, outside the city..." Yu Lan remembered that Mi Ji said that Master Iris's garden was outside the city, and that she saw some imprisoned people in the basement.

This line might work.

Yu Lan thought expressionlessly and didn't say anything about it. After all, the matter was still uncertain, and she couldn't give others hope while finding nothing out. This would be cruel to the client.

"Yes, yes." The bank manager stared at Yu Lan, afraid that she would say no. After all, it was one of the seven major families, and no one wanted to offend them.

But is Yu Lan an ordinary person? No, she is just an ordinary player passing by. Yu Lan doesn't care about the seven major families.

"I understand." Yu Lan took the black card on the table and said, "I took it. Tell me what you know about Master Iris. It doesn't matter what it is. Just tell me everything you know."

"You mean you will help me?" The bank manager was very excited. He happily wanted to rush up to give the young magician a hug to express his gratitude, but suddenly he felt his body cold and a pair of hands pulled him back to his seat.

The bank manager looked up and found that it was the man in black robe who held him down. The bank manager realized his impoliteness and smiled awkwardly: "Sorry... I was too excited."

Yu Lan looked at Erwin meaningfully and waved her hand to indicate that she didn't care: "Go ahead."

The bank manager thought for a moment and then spoke slowly.

The next day, the rain had stopped. The heavy rain washed away the dust in the city, and a fresh smell filled the air.

Yu Lan pushed open the balcony door and stretched lazily: "The wind is so noisy today."

Gu Yan stood beside Yu Lan, twitched his lips, and complained: "This is not the daily life of a boy in high school. You went to the wrong set."

"You're right." Yu Lan patted Gu Yan's shoulder: "But I'm the protagonist, I have the final say."

After they had breakfast, Mi Ji listed the things to do today as usual, and asked everyone to say what they wanted to do and list them according to their importance.

Yu Lan took the tissue beside her and wiped her mouth, then said nonchalantly, "I want to fuck Master Iris."

Mi Ji looked at Yu Lan in shock: "Are you serious? Now?"

"Yeah." Yu Lan told Mi Ji about the meeting with the bank manager last night. Hearing this, Mi Ji lowered his head with some guilt: "Sorry, we were too tired yesterday and we all forgot about it."
