He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Chapter 184 is even more unfavorable.

Siyi's eyes widened suddenly. "Really? That's great! As long as we can find out where this snakeskin came from, we can prove whether Jiang Yanhui is innocent or not."

"Siyi, don't be happy so soon."

Xia Ran abruptly extinguished half of her hope, "I have found the source of the snakeskin, but having this source seems to make things even more disadvantageous for Jiang Yan Hui."

Siyi's heart sank. "What do you mean?"

"This snakeskin is very special because it's completely white. Generally, completely white snakes are transformed, like the White Snake we watched when we were kids. It's a white python. In a place like City A, as you know, there are even fewer snake species. But after I got the report, I had it investigated. There's a rather perverted person in City A who keeps two snakes, one white and one green. Do you know who this person is?"

Siyi felt a chill run down her spine at the mere mention of snakes. In fact, these soft, limp reptiles were cold-blooded, which made ordinary humans like her very wary. Now, hearing that someone was deliberately keeping them as pets, she felt an even greater dread. "...How could I possibly know? I'm terrified of those things."

Xia Ran chuckled softly on the other end of the phone and uttered a name that left Si Yi speechless: "Lu Fengcheng."

"What?" Siyi was so shocked she could hardly contain herself. "...Lu...Lu Fengcheng?"

Her mind involuntarily recalled that face. He was actually very handsome, but he had an indescribable effeminate quality. Even though he wore a pair of seemingly gentle glasses, it couldn't hide the chill emanating from his body. Moreover, he seemed to be too cunning and not someone that an ordinary person could handle. Siyi suddenly shivered.

No wonder she didn't want to get close to Lu Fengcheng; it turns out that guy was playing with snakes...

That's...that's terrifying!

What kind of friends does Jiang Yan have here?!

"You know him, right?" Xia Ran, hearing Si Yi's exaggerated tone, concluded that she definitely knew him. "It's not surprising that you know him. He was originally Jiang Yan Hui's friend. That's why I told you not to be so happy so soon. Now that the snakeskin came from his snake, Jiang Yan Hui is even more suspicious, and Lu Feng Cheng is also a suspect. So, do you want to continue investigating?"

Siyi calmed herself down, pondered for a moment, and then said, "We need to investigate. No matter what, I believe Jiang Yan wouldn't kill anyone. Since Lu Fengcheng is the key, let's go and meet him first."

Xia Ran had no objection. In fact, when he first heard that someone was raising two snakes, he was quite interested in seeing them. Now that Si Yi said she wanted him to accompany her, he didn't refuse. The two agreed to meet at around 2 pm. After hanging up the phone, Si Yi saw that it was almost time, so she got dressed and quickly washed up.

However, Jiang Yan did not return during this time. Before leaving, she thought that she should tell him about any new clues in the case. However, she did not know when he left and had not seen him since. Siyi called him again, but his phone was switched off.

There wasn't enough time. Siyi figured he might have other things to do, so she simply sent him a text message, telling him that the case might be related to Lu Fengcheng and asking him to call back when he saw the message. Then she left the apartment to meet Xia Ran directly.

Lu Fengcheng sat in Xiangfei's private suite, holding a wine glass in his right hand. The dark green wine shone like a cat's eye in the dim light.

The door was opened from the outside, and a middle-aged man entered, bowing respectfully. "Young Master, there are two young ladies outside who say they wish to see you."

Lu Fengcheng grunted, swirling the wine in his glass without looking up, his voice equally cold, "Who wants to see me?"

"One of the young ladies seems to be Young Master Yan's girlfriend." The middle-aged man was Lu Fengcheng's butler, who had been with him for a long time. Given the relationship between Lu Fengcheng and Jiang Yanhui, he naturally knew Siyi's identity.

Lu Fengcheng narrowed his long, narrow eyes slightly and put down his wine glass. "Let them in." Yan Hui's woman, is that Ye Siyi? What does she want with him?

He vaguely remembered the last time he saw her, it seemed to be in a private room at the Golden Plaza. She looked wary as soon as she saw him, but now she's taking the initiative to come to him? Could it be related to Yan Hui?

"Yes." The butler nodded respectfully and left. A moment later, the door opened again, and sure enough, Siyi and another woman entered.

Lu Fengcheng had seen Siyi several times before, so his gaze naturally wouldn't linger on her for long. Instead, he unconsciously narrowed his eyes and scrutinized the other woman standing next to her.

She was tall and slender, wearing a black business suit. Her long hair was tied into a simple bun with bangs framing her face. Her large, dark eyes were exceptionally bright and expressive. How to describe such a person?

She possesses a maturity that is also tinged with cuteness, a caution that is also tinged with a touch of laziness...

But he clearly sensed it; from the moment she entered the room, she had been observing the furnishings, or perhaps… observing something else. This woman was remarkably meticulous. Who was she? Ye Siyi's best friend? Or perhaps…

Lu Fengcheng saw everything. A slight smile appeared on his thin lips, revealing a hint of interest. Xia Ran looked around and, as she looked up, she happened to see that smile, like an evil flower blooming on his lips.

In that instant, she felt as if someone had easily seen into the depths of her heart, especially his sharp eyes, which made her heart tremble slightly, and she subconsciously looked away.

"Young Master Lu, I'm sorry to bother you today." Siyi always felt something was off about Lu Fengcheng every time she saw him, and now that she knew he also kept cold-blooded animals, she was even more wary of him. She coughed lightly, "I came today because I have something I want to ask you."

Lu Fengcheng withdrew his gaze from Xia Ran's face, lazily flicked the outside of the glass with his middle finger, and smiled slightly. "Attorney Ye, there's no need to be so polite. If you have any questions, just ask. If it can help Yan Hui, I will naturally not hide anything from you."

Lu Fengcheng was a smart man, and Siyi knew it too. He could probably guess that her abrupt visit was related to Jiang Yanhui, so she wasn't surprised. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly heard a hissing sound, which also caught Xia Ran's attention. Siyi's heart skipped a beat, and she frowned, looking down to see two small snakes coiled on the ground, one white and one green. To Siyi, they were utterly devoid of beauty, their long, slender, flame-like tongues flickering in and out. She turned pale with fright, barely managing to suppress the urge to scream, but her body involuntarily took two steps back. Xia Ran, however, was much calmer and quickly reached out to support her.

You can't blame her for being timid; everyone has weaknesses. Siyi is genuinely afraid of reptiles. She feels disgusted just seeing caterpillars, so this snake was a huge blow to her.

"Young Master Lu..." Siyi hadn't calmed down yet when, before she could even speak, one of the white snakes suddenly appeared out of nowhere and slithered towards Xia Ran's calf with incredible speed, like a white lightning bolt.

Siyi was terrified. Her mind went blank, and she could only see the white snake fangs and the bright red tongue. Her body was frozen in place and she couldn't move an inch.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. Siyi only saw Xia Ran precisely grab the little white snake's seven-inch mark, its tail still shaking violently. Xia Ran's strength was considerable; she grabbed the little white snake's seven-inch mark and pressed it directly onto the thick carpet. Knowing that Siyi was scared, she let her hide behind her.

Siyi was truly terrified and at a loss for words. She didn't know Xia Ran was so brave, but considering that a girl who dealt with corpses year-round, this snake really didn't pose much of a threat to her. However, she didn't expect that just as she subdued one, the small blue snake that had been resting at Lu Fengcheng's feet would suddenly attack as well.

Seemingly even faster than the little white snake from before, Siyi saw a flash of green light before her eyes.

She closed her eyes tightly, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. After a long while, she timidly opened her eyes and saw Lu Fengcheng holding the tail of the green snake. The green snake twisted its slender body and bit down hard on its master's left hand with its sharp snout.

Siyi was stunned and speechless. Although she knew that these cold-blooded animals were not as loyal as cats and dogs, Lu Fengcheng was still her master no matter what.

Looking at Lu Fengcheng again, a pained expression appeared on his face, but only for a moment. His slender, white right hand pinched the green snake's chin. The little green snake twisted its body desperately, forced to raise its snout, its mouth wide open in an exaggerated way, and its yellowish-black eyes seemed to bulge even more violently.

A moment later, Lu Fengcheng released his grip and threw the little green snake to the ground. The snake immediately slithered back into the corner. He glanced at Xia Ran's hand, which was tightly gripping the little white snake's vital spot, and his eyes darkened. He said, "Are you planning to kill it? Let go of me!"

This was the first time Siyi had ever seen Lu Fengcheng with such an expression on his face. The attack from the two snakes had terrified her, and she was now stammering, "Um... Lu Fengcheng, your hand..." His hand seemed to have been bitten, right? He won't die, will he?

"I was just defending myself when you attacked me." Lu Fengcheng's dark eyes were fixed on Xia Ran. Xia Ran was not afraid of him and met his gaze openly. She was still holding the snake tightly and showed no mercy. "Besides, even if you want to keep it, you can't. I suspect that this snake is related to the previous murder case. I want to take it back."

As he spoke, he took out a cage he had prepared earlier from his bag and put the little white snake inside.
