I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

The night was as dark as ink, quietly covering the courtyard. The moonlight shone through the mottled branches and leaves, casting tiny shadows.

Chen Jue and Chen Jia sat on the stone bench in the courtyard. The surroundings were so quiet that only the occasional chirping of insects could be heard.

Chen Jue looked at Chen Jia with a tired face and said, "Sister, I've been investigating the Lin and Yang families in the Dali Temple these days, and I'm exhausted. Especially the Lin family, I feel like there's too much water behind them."

Chen Jia gently held Chen Jue's hand and said softly, "Ajue, don't be impatient, talk slowly. You said that the King of Jin is behind the Lin family, so what is going on with them?"

Chen Jue frowned and lowered his voice and said, "Sister, I found that the Lin family has a lot of tricks in some of their business dealings. They also seem to have an unclear relationship with the Yang family. I suspect that the Lin family is a pawn of the King of Jin to make money, but it's hard to find evidence. Moreover, I always feel that someone is watching me in secret, maybe sent by the Lin family."

Chen Jia nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Ajue, do you think the Lin family will want to kill you because you investigated them? Think about it, if you keep on pestering them, they will definitely be afraid that you will dig out more information and endanger their interests."

Chen Jue was shocked. "Sister, now that you mention it, it's really possible. I felt something was wrong before, as if someone was watching me from the dark a few times. So how would they do it?"

Chen Jia analyzed: "They may hire a killer, or set a trap for you in your daily activities. Jue, you must be extra careful when you go out in the future. However, this may also be an opportunity."

"Opportunity? Sister, what do you mean?" Chen Jue looked at Chen Jia puzzledly.

Chen Jia's eyes flashed with shrewdness. "Think about it, if the Lin family attacks you, it means they are guilty. You can take the opportunity to pretend to be injured, or spread some rumors that you are threatened because of the investigation. In this way, the Yang family may be shaken. They are already involved with the Lin family. If they see the Lin family being so reckless, they may worry that they will be implicated. You can find an opportunity to contact the Yang family and see if you can break up their relationship and find more clues about the Lin family from the Yang family."

Chen Jue's eyes lit up, "Sister, this is a good idea! Why didn't I think of it? Then how should I contact the Yang family?"

Chen Jia thought for a moment and said, "You can find a suitable reason to visit the Lin family. For example, you can ask them some questions about the business order in the capital in the capacity of the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and mention the Lin family's case in passing to see their reaction. Then, you can hint to them that the Lin family's behavior may cause trouble to the entire business community in the capital. If they can provide some useful information, it will be good for both you and them."

Chen Jue nodded repeatedly, "Well, sister, what you said makes sense. In addition to the Yang family, is there anything else I can do?"

Chen Jia smiled and said, "Ajue, think about it, the Lin family can become a tool for the King of Jin to make money, maybe there are other families with similar situations. While investigating the Lin family, you can pay attention to the movements of other families in the capital. See if there are any families that have behaved abnormally recently, or have had close dealings with the Lin family. Maybe you can find more people who want to emulate the Lin family, so that you can follow the clues and dig out more clues."

Chen Jue looked at Chen Jia with admiration, "Sister, you are so smart! With your help, I feel like I have a lot more clues about this case."

Chen Jia gently patted Chen Jue's shoulder and said, "Ajue, you have to be more careful when you work in the Dali Temple. The officialdom is complicated and people's hearts are hard to predict. You have to investigate the case and protect yourself at the same time."

Chen Jue held Chen Jia's hand, "Sister, I know. With you by my side, I am not afraid of anything. I will be careful and try to get to the bottom of this case as soon as possible so that those bad guys will get the punishment they deserve."

The two smiled at each other, and under the moonlight, their figures looked particularly warm.

In this situation full of conspiracy and danger, their love and trust became each other's strongest backing.

As the night deepened, the chill grew stronger. Chen Jue stood up and put his coat on Chen Jia, "Sister, it's late, don't catch a cold. Let's go back to the house."

Chen Jia nodded and walked into the room with Chen Jue. The candlelight in the room flickered, illuminating their faces. They sat by the bed and continued to discuss the details of the case in a low voice.

Chen Jue said with some concern: "Sister, if I go to divide the relationship between the Lin family and the Yang family, what if King Jin finds out? Will he be even more ruthless to me?"

Chen Jia comforted him, "Ajue, don't worry too much. Although the King of Jin is powerful, he dare not act blatantly. As long as you act cleverly and don't reveal any flaws, he can't do anything to you. In addition, you have your own connections and resources in the Dali Temple, so you should make good use of them. You can discuss with your colleagues and see what ideas and suggestions they have. Maybe they can also help you come up with ideas and work together to deal with the King of Jin."

Chen Jue sighed, "Sister, you are right. I can't do it alone. I will communicate with my colleagues. However, this case involves more and more people, and I am really afraid that something unexpected will happen."

Chen Jia hugged Chen Jue gently, "Jue, don't be afraid. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together. You must believe in your abilities, and you will definitely be able to handle this case well."

Chen Jue felt Chen Jia's warmth, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated. He hugged Chen Jia tightly, "Sister, it's great to have you. I will work hard for our future and for justice."

In this warm atmosphere, the two gradually fell asleep. They didn't know how many difficulties and challenges were waiting for them in the future, but at this moment, they hugged each other, their hearts full of hope and courage.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window onto the bed.

Chen Jue woke up early. He came to the door of Chen Jia's room and knocked on it. She opened her eyes and said in a daze, "Jue, are you leaving so early?"

Chen Jue smiled and said, "Sister, I have to go to the Dali Temple to handle a case. You should get some more sleep."

Chen Jia sat up and said, "Well, go ahead. Remember to be careful. I'll wait for you to come back."

Chen Jue nodded, "Sister, don't worry. I will."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room, facing the sunshine, and walked towards the Dali Temple. His steps were firm and powerful, and his heart was full of thoughts about the case and expectations for the future. Chen Jia sat on the bed, watching Chen Jue's back as he left, and silently prayed for him. She knew that Chen Jue had an important mission, and she would always support him behind his back. No matter what difficulties they encountered, they would not give up.
