Whilst everyone was busy preparing for the barbeque, Jian Shuxing went to the orchid greenhouse to see Grandpa Jian.

Whats the matter?

As soon as Grandpa Jian saw his son furrowing his brows, he knew that something was up.

Dad, I want to ask you a favor.

Were family. Dont say its a favor. If something is up, just tell me. Although Im retired, I still care about family affairs.

Its like this We found someone to do Yunnaos operation. However, the other party wants us to wait. Were worried that its just an excuse

The day before yesterday, they had received a reply from the other party.

The other party didnt refuse nor agree to do the operation. They just requested that theyd wait.

Wait until when?

The sooner Yunnao got the surgery done, the greater the likelihood his hand would recover.

Grandpa Jian nodded, I understand. Ill ask my friend for help.

Grandpa Jian was also quite concerned with this matter.

This matter affected the family.

Thank you so much, Dad!

You dont need to thank me for these things. Also, I heard that you recently sent someone to investigate some matters in the neighboring provinces? What are you investigating?

Although Grandpa Jian had retired, not many things could hide from his eyes.

Um, some certain things.

Is it serious?

Jian Shuxing ended up telling Grandpa Jian the matters that his son had told him a few days ago.

Are you saying that Yuncheng suspects that a servant in your house caused the incident between Yiling and Yunnao?

Yeah. Its only a suspicion. As of now, we havent found any definitive evidence.

The surveillance only showed that Aunt Mo had been peeking at the direction of the stairs when the incident had happened.

However, Aunt Mo could easily make up a reason for why she was there. She could say that she had to talk to Jian Yiling or Jian Yunnao about something. As she had seen them quarrel, she didnt dare to stop them.

In fact, they couldnt get many conclusions out of the surveillance.

Grandpa Jian replied with a serious expression on his face, Shuxing, you must remember that Yunnao said that Yiling had pushed him.

The key to the problem was with Jian Yunnao. Jian Yunnao had claimed that Jian Yiling had pushed him. The focus wasnt on Aunt Mo.

I know, Jian Shuxing replied. His brows were still furrowed. Neither of us know whether investigating this matter will be of use. However, as there is a possibility, we dont want to ignore it. Even if its the smallest of possibilities.

Thats good. Investigate the matter thoroughly. Even if it doesnt help out with the incident between Jian Yiling and Jian Yunnao, it is important to know the background of people who are close to you. If someone harbors ill intentions, you should get rid of them. Dont be soft on people who can hurt your family.

Although Grandpa Jian watered flowers and fed birds for most of his time, when it came down to the wire, he knew how to make someone wish that they were dead.

Jian Shuxing suddenly asked, By the way, why is Zhai Yunsheng with Yiling?

Everyone knew that Yu Xi was a good child. There was no problem in Yiling hanging out with him.

However, Zhai Yunsheng was a different case. Jian Shuxing couldnt help but worry.

He was afraid that Yiling would learn bad things from him. At the same time, he was worried that Master Sheng had ulterior motives.

Ive talked to him before. Although his personality is a bit strange, he is not as bad as the rumors say. Yiling hangs out with Yu Xi quite a bit. As a result, shes in touch with Master Sheng as well. Its fine. Yu Xi is a good child.

If anything happened to Jian Yiling, Yu Xi would have quite a bit of explaining to do.
