"Mr. Xia, actually, I have something to ask for your help," Yun Qing said straightforwardly.

Xia Tian stared at Yun Qing's pretty face with an expression that showed he could never get tired of looking at her: "Sis Yun Qing, whatever it is, just say it. I'll do my best to help you."

His immediate agreement made Yun Qing's delicate eyebrows furrow slightly; she couldn't help but glance at Li Ping—was Li Ping deceiving him

However, upon further consideration, she felt that was unlikely. She had known Li Ping for a few years now, and he even pursued her intensely back then. He still hadn’t given up on her entirely, so there would be no benefit to him in deceiving her about this matter.

"Mr. Xia, do you remember Mo Zilun and Li Shen" Yun Qing asked after some thought.

"Of course, the couple who lived in Jintai Community and were killed by assassins," Xia Tian naturally remembered that incident; how could he forget something related to Leng Bingbing

Seeing him mention it so readily, Yun Qing completely believed that Li Ping hadn’t deceived her. Xia Tian was indeed aware of this matter.

Yun Qing's face showed a hint of sadness: "Mr. Xia, Mo Zilun and Li Shan are my friends. I really want to find out who the masterminds behind their murders are, but there has been no progress at the police station. Li Ping told me that you were the first one to discover that they had been killed by professional killers, and it was also you who personally caught those killers. Therefore, I believe you have the ability to find these masterminds. That's why I came today to ask for your help so that Zilun and Shan can rest in peace."

"This matter!" Xia Tian scratched his head, "Sister Yun Qing, this might be a bit tricky. The killer was taken away by the policewoman, and she didn't allow me to interrogate him. Moreover, as professional killers usually don’t reveal their employers' identities because they never directly contact them, it’s quite difficult to find out who's behind these killings."

Upon hearing Xia Tian’s words, Li Ping couldn't help but nod: "Lawyer Yun, what Xia Tian said is actually true. I think you shouldn’t pursue this matter further; otherwise, it might bring grave danger upon yourself."

"Li Ping, I know that you're worried about me, but Zilun and Shan have been my friends for twenty years. In my life, such good friends as them are rare. Now they died so tragically, leaving behind a five-year-old daughter. How can I just let this go" Yun Qing seemed very resolute. "I must find that bastard out and make him pay for what he did to Zilun and Shan!"

After taking a pause, Yun Qing turned towards Xia Tian and continued asking: "Mr. Xia, is there no other way to find the masterminds behind these killings"

Xia Tian thought about it for a moment before saying: "It's not entirely impossible; there actually is a relatively simple method."

"What method" Yun Qing asked anxiously.

"You could arrest everyone who might have had a grudge against them, interrogate each one of them individually. In the end, you'll definitely find out who's behind these killings." Xia Tian replied.

Li Ping felt a mix of amusement and frustration. Was this what they meant by a simple solution

Yun Qing was silent for a while, her expression changing several times as she seemed to be deep in thought.

"Lawyer Yun, do you really mean to go through with it" Li Ping expressed his concern. "You must know that doing this is illegal and could get you entangled in the mess too."

"I'm aware," replied Yun Qing with a forced smile. "Li Ping, don't worry about me. I wouldn't act recklessly. Today’s visit to Mr. Xia was merely an attempt, but if it doesn’t work out, I won’t force anything."

Yun Qing abruptly changed the subject as though nothing had happened: "Forget about this for now. Let's go have lunch."

Li Ping shook his head inwardly. From what he knew of Yun Qing, she wouldn't give up easily. However, regarding this case, he was aware that there were pressures from above to expedite its resolution. Although the case hadn’t been closed yet, without any progress it would likely be concluded soon. This suggested that someone didn’t want the investigation to continue, and the reasons behind Mo Zilun’s and Li Shan’s murders might not be straightforward.

Yun Qing was a renowned lawyer in Jianghai City, but no matter how famous she was, she was just an attorney and a woman. She lacked strong backing; if someone decided to target her, it could cause significant trouble for her—ranging from losing her job to facing the same fate as Mo Zilun and Li Shan.

Li Ping had always harbored feelings of admiration for this beautiful and independent woman. He once pursued her briefly, but eventually realized that despite her seemingly approachable demeanor, she kept everyone at a distance in her heart. She only appeared friendly because her profession required it to interact with people without being too cold.

In these days, Yun Qing kept going to the police station to inquire about information and also investigated privately everywhere. Li Ping was a bit worried that she might get into trouble. Finally, he had an idea and decided to introduce Xia Tian to Yun Qing. In Li Ping's view, if Xia Tian could help her, even though Yun Qing might not find out who was behind the crime, in terms of safety, there should be no problem.

However, seeing the look Xia Tian gave Yun Qing made Li Ping feel a bit depressed inside; this kid indeed liked Yun Qing. But thinking about it, since he couldn't win her heart anyway, why bother If this guy really had the ability to win both Yun Qing and Leng Meiren over, then Li Ping would admit defeat.

While lost in thought, Li Ping's phone rang; it was from the police station asking him to hurry back as there was a new case.

"What the hell, why so many cases recently" Li Ping complained and then said goodbye to both of them. "Lawyer Yun, Xia Tian, I have to go first. Eat slowly, let's meet again next time!"

"Li Ping, thank you today," Yun Qing stood up to see him off.

With a bitter smile, Li Ping said something inexplicable and hurriedly left.

In the private room now, it was only Xia Tian and Yun Qing. For Xia Tian, this was naturally what he wished for.

"Mr. Xia, are you really willing to help me" After taking her seat again, Yun Qing looked at Xia Tian with a strange expression.

Summer looked at Qingyun with a strange expression, "Of course it's true! You're so beautiful, how could I possibly deceive you"

Qingyun couldn't comprehend Summer's logic and thus continued to ask, "We've only just met for the first time. Why would you be willing to help me"

"Because you are pretty!" Summer said with a matter-of-fact attitude.

"Mr. Summer, I must inform you beforehand that if you help me, I will compensate you financially but not in other ways." Qingyun felt she should clarify this.

Summer didn't seem to mind at all and replied, "That's fine, I don’t need compensation."

Qingyun was taken aback by this response: "Mr. Summer, you’re willing to help me without any compensation"

Summer nodded seriously, "Correct! If I accept payment for helping you find the murderer, then that would make me your private detective. Uncle Three said that nowadays, being a private detective is rather lowly; with my status, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to do such work."

Qingyun really wanted to ask what this person's identity was but ultimately restrained herself from asking out of politeness, even though she still couldn’t understand—could there truly be someone willing to help her without expecting anything in return She knew that he had his own intentions towards her, yet she had already clearly stated that she would only provide monetary compensation. Could it be that he didn't understand

"But don't you feel like you're losing out by helping me for free" Yun Qing asked again, because she had to make sure that this person was genuinely willing to help her. Only then could she tell him about some more secretive matters.

Summer chuckled, "Sis Yun Qing, how can I be at a loss You're so pretty and have such a good figure; you'll soon match the policewoman sister's beauty. By helping me find the mastermind behind all this, you'll become my wife in return."

Yun Qing's expression slightly changed, her tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction: "Mr. Summer, I think you misunderstand what I mean. As clearly stated before, my repayment will only be monetary; should you not wish for that, there is nothing else I can offer."

Summer had an innocent look on his face, "Sis Yun Qing, it's no misunderstanding. It’s just a small favor, and of course, I wouldn't ask for such a thing."

"Then what did you mean by your earlier statement" Yun Qing held back her irritation; she needed help from him and naturally didn't want to ruin their relationship.

“Sis Yun Qing, my meaning is very simple. I'm helping you now, and as we get to know each other better later on, you'll definitely come to like me, then you will willingly be my wife. So ultimately, I still won't lose out!” Summer said with a chuckle.

Yun Qing looked at Summer speechless for quite some time; this guy was too self-absorbed! How could he even say she would certainly fall for him

Even though Yun Qing had seen through Summer's appearance, she couldn't help but scrutinize him again. She concluded that although the guy didn’t look handsome and was also very young, around twenty years old at most. To her, who was already thirty, he was just a little boy; not even remotely her type. Even if she were to remain unmarried forever, there's no way she would like someone like him. took out his phone to call Xia Tian.It was a critical moment for the Tiannan Group.
