A man in a black shirt handed over a document to Si Yiyan. “Ninth Young Master, I have investigated all of Yang Chongguang’s connections and friends, and did not discover anyone is suspicious.”

Si Yiyan remained silent and deep in thought.

The man in black had a sudden shock and sweat covered his forehead. “We have checked all surveillance cameras surrounding the Qingfeng Building on the night of Yang Chongguang’s death. There were no suspicious characters entering or leaving the building.”

Si Yiyan lightly tapped on the tea table with his finger — a common sound with an aggressive rhythm. The ambiance was tense. “How was the investigation on Ning Shuqian?”

The man in black stood upright and became jittery. He replied with a stern look on his face. “We haven’t found anything yet. We’ve checked all of Ning Shuqian’s communication records and also her bank records together with her spending habits, including all the people who interacted with her. However, nothing suspicious was found.”

Si Yiyan frowned. He was not satisfied with the results of the investigation.

The man in black looked nervous. His huge and tall body suddenly became stiff. “Ninth Young Master, one of my men found out that on the day of Yang Chongguang’s death, Ning Shuqian pawned quite a few of her personal jewelry and managed to gather five hundred dollars from all the items she pawned. I’m guessing that Ning Shuqian indeed had something to do with Yang Chongguang’s death.”

Si Yiyan’s hand that was tapping on the tea table suddenly stopped moving. He spoke in a low and serious tone, with a ting of warning. “I’m dead sure that Ning Shuqian has something to do with Yang Chongguang’s death. Continue to investigate the matter.”

The cause of Yang Chongguang’s death was a mystery, and there were many doubts about it. Even he could not find any evidence. It seemed like Ning Shuqian had a strong backing behind her. It would not be easy for Xinya to deal with her.

“Yes, Ninth Young Master! I’ll continue with my investigation!” The man in black took a deep breath and turned around to leave. Ninth Young Master always acted calmly and peacefully, but he had a special frightening aura on him.

Si Yiyan squinted his pair of long and beautiful eyes with determination and coldness. He would never allow anyone to harm or threaten Xinya’s safety.

Si Yiyan stood up and walked to the living room, and saw Wen Xinya sitting beside the tea table. She was wearing the pair of long earrings he had given her earlier. Her hands were meddling with the pearl that she got from the oyster feast that day. She liked it a lot and would frequently take it out to play with it like a toy.

“Since you like this pearl this much, why don’t you get a jewelry master to polish it and make it into an accessory so that you can wear it with you everywhere you go.” Si Yiyan stared at the pearl in her hands. It was half flattened and had an uneven surface.

Wen Xinya held the pearl in her palm and said, “Why polish it? I like it this way. An unpolished pearl cannot be considered a true pearl. This is to remind me that one only gives off a beautiful glow with enough polish.”

Si Yiyan smiled. Wen Xinya was just like the pearl in her hands. It was just the beginning of the path she was going through and life’s way of polishing her.

Wen Xinya held the teapot and started brewing Chinese tea, her actions much smoother. Though there was room for improvement, it was a pleasure watching her in action, and the tea smelled good.
