Little Lucky Star

  Tan Jieyan looked down at the trembling child in his arms, Tong Jiang was just an orphanage-born child. Five years ago, everything changed because of him, Tan Jieyan had never thought that Tong Jiang's life would change because of him in these five years.

  If everything five years ago hadn't happened, at that time, Tong Jing would have even if she failed the college entrance exam, she might have gone to a technical school, learned a skill, and like many ordinary girls, had a boyfriend, started a family, had children, and rushed around for a living.

  But after meeting himself, Tong Jiang's everything changed. What he had never thought of before, but now Tan Jieyan suddenly felt fortunate that five years ago, it was him who met Tong Jiang, and then she was incorporated into his life trajectory.

  Tan Jieyan had one hand still wrapped around Tongyuan's waist, the other resting on her head, awkwardly stroking it as if this alone could comfort the child who had suddenly lost control of her emotions and was sobbing uncontrollably.

  From loud wailing to stifled sobs, Tong Jiang calmed down afterwards, but felt extremely embarrassed. Fortunately, her face was buried in Tan Jieyan's chest at that moment, so she didn't have to awkwardly face him. However, even so, her ears still slowly turned red with shame. In this lifetime, Tong Jiang felt that the number of times and degree to which she lost face in front of Tan Jieyan were constantly breaking records.

  The crying sound stopped, Tan Jiyang lowered his head to look at the red ears of Tong Jiang, who was burying her face in her own arms and not lifting her head. He knew she was shy, so he gently patted Tong Jiang's head and smiled, "Finished crying?"

  "Hmm." The little chick nodded like a chicken pecking at grain, Tong Jiang really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, it was even better than fainting from crying, at least that way she wouldn't have to face Tan Jieyan!

  Listening to the steady heartbeat coming from that chest, Tong Jiang knew she had lost face in front of Tan Jieyan more than once or twice, but her face was still burning with embarrassment, so humiliated that she directly became a turtle, refusing to lift her head.

  "Go wash your face, I'll pour you a glass of water." Knowing that Tong Jiao was embarrassed, Tan Jiayan shook his head, feeling more and more that she was indeed just a child. Even though she was already 22 years old, and would be turning 23 in just a few days after the new year, she was still as pure as an unpolished jade stone.

  Tong Jing also knew that she couldn't stay in her shell forever, so when she heard Tan Jieyan's words, she softly hummed in agreement. She then loosened her grip on Tan Jieyan's waist and took a step back, creating some distance between them. Although she knew she should lower her head and rush into the bathroom to wash her face, she couldn't help but sneak a glance at Tan Jieyan.

  Tan Jieyan's dark eyes were full of doting, his thin lips subtly curled up in a good-looking arc, which made Tongyuan very depressed. He opened his mouth with a stuffy tone, "If you want to laugh, just laugh."

  "Go wash your face." Tan Jieyan coughed dryly, suppressing a smile as he looked at Tong Jiang's reddened eyes. Then, with a listless air, she walked towards the bathroom, her appearance finally causing Tan Jieyan to burst out laughing in a low voice.

  Not yet entering the bathroom, I heard Tan Jieyan's low and husky laughter behind me. Tong Jing let out a dissatisfied hum, wrinkled her small red nose, then opened the door and walked into the bathroom. At this moment, she was thinking that she had just cried enough in front of Tan Jieyan to lose face, but completely forgot about the previous fleeting kiss.

  After receiving the text message, Guan Yao informed Tan Jieyan to ensure Tong Qiang's safety and immediately accessed the surveillance at the entrance of Xihu Garden. They found the black car and joined forces with the traffic department to chase after it. However, Liu Kang was no fool either. As soon as he knew that Tong Qiang might have contacted Guan Yao, before Guan Yao could lead his team to intercept the car, the driver inside had already been replaced. Naturally, they returned empty-handed.

  "Tongtong's safety, I'll send someone to protect her. If you're not at ease, just have someone keep an eye on her from the shadows. Don't let the Liu family drag you into this." Guan Yao sat in the living room, last night's actions had been swift but yielded no results, leaving Guan Yao feeling somewhat defeated. Not to mention that now Tongtong was really being dragged into danger. If anything happened to her, Guan Yao knew that Tan Jieyan would probably be the first person not to let him off the hook, even though they were childhood friends who had grown up together.

  "Still can't find any clues?" Tan Jieyan couldn't help but admire the meticulousness of the Liu family, but having reached their current position, the Liu family was naturally not to be underestimated. However, with Tong Jing now involved, Tan Jieyan wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible and ensure Tong Jing's complete safety. Otherwise, even with people protecting her, it would be pointless if there were any lapses. Moreover, Tan Jieyan also feared that the Liu family might take revenge on Tong Jing because they couldn't do anything to Guan Yao or himself.

  "I used to think that the Liu family was being cautious, but now I understand. Since Liu Kang is gay, the Liu family would definitely not let outsiders know about this matter, so it's no wonder that Liu Kang's previous lover was so secretive, without leaving any clues." Guan Yao also felt helpless, as the case of Li Lianlan's disappearance and murder in Xixia Mountain was linked to Liu Kang.

  But there is no evidence, and the only witness may be Liu Kang's mysterious lover. If this lover was a man, it would also explain why Guan Yao couldn't find any clues no matter how hard he searched.

  "I know a person's name." Tong Jing drank water, washed her face, and had already recovered normally, but those eyes were still as red as a small rabbit, facing Guan Yao and opening his mouth. Under the embarrassment, his gaze was not looking at Tan Jieyan beside him.

  "Who?" Guan Yao regained his spirit, taking over the case. Although he knew it was a very simple case, there was no evidence at all, and the only clue was still Tong Jing's previous observation that Liu Kang was gay; otherwise, Guan Yao would have continued to investigate in the wrong direction.

  But tonight, the license plate number was also provided by Tong Jiang, unfortunately, the Liu family acted faster, so it was a waste of time. However, at this moment, when Tong Jiang spoke up, Guan Yao's gentle and elegant face shone with a radiant glow, he almost regarded Tong Jiang as his lucky star.
