Xu Lan's eyes were blazing, and those bright eyes were faintly filled with excitement.

She seemed clearly interested in the matter.

Very excited!

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said calmly, "He's dead."

"Dead?"

Xu Lan opened her eyes wide: "Is he really dead?"

"He's really dead."

"You killed him?"

"It's none of my business."

"I see..."

Xu Lan nodded thoughtfully, then showed an expression of "as expected".

"He's really dead?"

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian became slightly suspicious.

Her reaction...

Not quite right?

The Lin family and the Xu family are old friends. Prince Lin and Xu Lan have known each other since childhood. Although their relationship is not good, there is a deep connection between the two families after all.

Now, upon hearing the news that Prince Lin had been murdered, Xu Lan felt neither the slightest bit of surprise nor the slightest bit of sadness...

Even if you're not sad, you shouldn't look so indifferent, right?

"Aren't you angry?" Lin Jiangnian stared at her and asked.

"angry?"

Xu Lan raised her eyes and raised her eyebrows: "Why should I be angry?"

"Prince Lin was murdered..."

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes: "Aren't you sad?"

Xu Lan asked back: "Why should I be sad?"

"You and him were childhood sweethearts... He died, and you're not sad at all?"

"hehe!"

Xu Lan sneered: "Childhood sweetheart? Come on, I'm not familiar with him. That guy has done so many dirty things over the years. I'm ashamed to know him..."

"He's dead, so what? He's been rid of a threat to the people. Why should I be sad?"

Although the Lin and Xu families are old friends, Xu Lan's relationship with Prince Lin is not really good... Perhaps he feels regretful about his death and sighs that things in the world are impermanent.

But to say sadness?

hehe!

Xu Lan could only sneer in response.

Good death!

God has eyes.

…

Lin Jiangnian was silent. Xu Lan's reaction made him feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

It seems to make sense, but...

Lin Jiangnian collected his thoughts and glanced at her again: "So, what is your purpose?"

"No purpose?"

Xu Lan rested her hands on the table, her chin in her hand as she looked at Lin Jiangnian in front of her. Suddenly, she sneered, "I was thinking of having some fun with you again, to see how long you could keep up your pretense... but you're so irritating, and you're such a mean-spirited person!"

"I'm so angry!"

Having said that, Xu Lan looked angry and glared at Lin Jiangnian.

"So, I have to let you know what fear is!"

Lin Jiangnian: “…”

"Just because of this?"

"Any questions?"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head. This girl was exactly as he expected.

He has a bad temper, explosive personality, can't hide his thoughts and is prone to mood swings, and more importantly... he is calm!

However, such girls usually have one advantage.

Easy to cheat?!

…

Lin Jiangnian looked at the smug Xu Lan in front of him and asked, "So, how did you figure it out?"

"I won't tell you!"

Xu Lan smiled and said, "This is a secret... Tsk tsk, your life is in my hands now, are you afraid?"

Lin Jiangnian didn't say anything. Is he afraid?

I was a little worried just now, but for some reason, when I saw her silly look, I felt a little relieved.

Xu Lan then changed her tone and winked at Lin Jiangnian: "However, as long as you are obedient and cooperate with me, I can consider not exposing you and continue to let you be the Prince of Lin. How about it?"

Xu Lan leaned forward, blinked, stared at Lin Jiangnian, and smiled brightly.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Yes, I am threatening you."

Xu Lan nodded in acknowledgement honestly.

"If I don't agree, will you reveal my identity immediately?"

“That’s right!”

Xu Lan nodded, then seemed to remember something, a hint of anger appearing on her face: "Who told you to bully me? Who told you to mock me for looking like a man?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at it subconsciously.

"You're still looking?!"

Xu Lan immediately raised her voice and glared at him with raised eyebrows.

He still dares to look?

"You misunderstood, that's not what I meant."

Lin Jiangnian thought for a moment and looked at her seriously: "I want to express that Miss Xu is not only heroic and beautiful at such a young age, but also kind-hearted and broad-minded. She is as capable as those men..."

Xu Lan said, "Oh, now you know how to praise me? Come on, tell me more, I love to hear it!"

But soon, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that there was something wrong with these words?

Weird?

"Forget it, stop using your sweet words to try to trick me. I won't fall for it!"

Xu Lan waved her hand and sneered again: "You haven't answered me yet, do you agree or not?"

Lin Jiangnian shrugged: "Do I have a choice?"

"Yes, you can choose to resist."

Xu Lan was very proud. "However, I cannot guarantee that your identity will not be exposed."

Lin Jiangnian looked at her quietly and said calmly, "I don't like being threatened."

"so what?"

"I am a simple person who likes to be obedient."

“…”

“Chuckle…”

Xu Lan was stunned for a moment, then laughed so hard that she fell backwards: "It seems that you are very aware of the current situation?!"

Lin Jiangnian still looked at her calmly, and suddenly asked, "Then can you guarantee that my identity will not be exposed?"

"Of course!"

"You won't lie and then regret it, will you?"

Xu Lan snorted softly, "I always keep my word and will never break it!"

"What if someone else around you leaks it?"

"Don't worry, no one else knows except me..."

Xu Lan stopped talking midway.

Then, she opened her eyes wide in vain and subconsciously covered her mouth.

Then his eyes were filled with anger: "Are you trying to trick me?!"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and sneered: "You said that yourself, you can't blame me."

Sure enough, he is simple-minded and easy to fool!

No one else knows?

very good!

Lin Jiangnian's eyes gradually turned cold.

"What do you want to do?!"

Realizing that he had been exposed, Xu Lan suddenly became alert: "Are you trying to silence me?!"

But then she realized something and gradually relaxed. "I'm warning you, don't mess around... This is Prince Lin's Mansion. If I die here, my father won't let you go, and Uncle Lin won't let you go either!"

Lin Jiangnian said calmly, "You mean... as long as you die outside, then everything will be fine?"

"Oh, you can try!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lan suddenly slammed his palm on the table.

The next second, a sunken palm print appeared on the sandalwood table. Although it was not deep, it still made Lin Jiangnian's pupils shrink suddenly.

The thought of silencing someone that just popped up in my mind disappeared quietly.

He suddenly remembered...Xu Lan mentioned yesterday that she was a ninth-grade master?

Really,

Kind of awesome?!
