【Sweetheart Lover】

Chapter 149 Unexpected People

Ruan Jianan stared nervously at the mysterious figure with his back to them, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead unconsciously. His eyes were fixed on the mysterious figure's back, trying to get a clue from his seemingly calm posture. Ruan Jianan clenched his hands into fists unconsciously, his knuckles turned white due to the force, and his breathing became rapid, as if he could hear the sound of his heartbeat echoing in this silent room.

The stranger stood aside, with a complex expression that was hard to read. His eyes sometimes drifted to the mysterious figure, and sometimes looked at Ruan Jianan, as if he was weighing something. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, showing his inner uneasiness, and his hands trembled slightly at his sides, but he tried hard to restrain himself.

The mysterious man slowly turned around with a meaningful smile on his face. When Ruan Jianan saw his face clearly, he was shocked and widened his eyes, his mouth slightly opened, but he couldn't speak. Because the mysterious man standing in front of them was someone that Ruan Jianan and the stranger could never have imagined - Lin Yanan's long-lost brother Lin Yu.

Lin Yu's eyes swept across Ruan Jianan and the stranger, and his eyes were like a cold sword, making people feel like they were being stabbed in the back. His face was more vicissitudes and colder than in his memory, and the former gentleness had long disappeared.

Ruan Jianan tried to read something from his eyes, but found that they were bottomless, as if hiding countless secrets. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but his voice was still trembling: "Lin Yu? How could it be you?"

Lin Yu did not answer immediately, but walked slowly to the window, looking at the scenery outside, as if thinking about something. The moonlight sprinkled on his side face, outlining a cold outline.

At this moment, a subtle nervousness flashed across the stranger's face, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists. His Adam's apple moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he finally held back. His eyes became more erratic, and he didn't dare to look anyone in the eye.

Lin Yu turned around, looked at Ruan Jianan, and said slowly: "Some things, knowing too much is not good for you." His voice was low and magnetic, but it revealed a chilling chill, as if it came from a distant ice cave.

Ruan Jianan gritted his teeth, took a step forward, his eyes became firm and resolute: "But we are already involved in this, and we must find out the truth! Lin Yu, why are you here? What does all this have to do with you?" His voice echoed in the room with unquestionable determination.

Lin Yu sneered: "The truth? Do you really think you can bear the price of the truth?" His eyes became sharp, staring straight at Ruan Jianan, as if he wanted to see through his soul.

Ruan Jianan looked back at him without flinching: "No matter what the cost, we will get to the bottom of this! Lin Yu, Yanan has been looking for you, don't you want to meet her?" His chest heaved violently, showing his inner excitement.

A trace of pain flashed across Lin Yu's face, but he quickly returned to his indifference: "She shouldn't be involved in this."

The stranger couldn't help but interrupt: "Then why don't you tell us what happened? Maybe we can solve it together."

Lin Yu was silent for a moment: "Okay, since you are so persistent, I will tell you something. But remember, this may change your life." There was a hint of helplessness and warning in his tone.

Ruan Jianan and the stranger held their breath, waiting for his next words.

Lin Yu sat back in his chair, leaned back slightly, and crossed his hands on his chest: "The criminal cooperation between the Lin family and the Ruan family is just the tip of the iceberg. There is a huge interest group behind it. Their tentacles are spread across various fields and they control many unknown things. And I have to hide myself in order to find evidence."

Ruan Jianan's eyes widened in shock: "What interest group? What on earth do they want to do?"

Lin Yu sighed: "Their goal is far beyond your imagination. They pursue absolute control of power and wealth, and will do whatever it takes to eliminate obstacles."

At this moment, a slight sound suddenly came from the room. Lin Yu's face changed: "Oh no, someone is coming!"

Ruan Jianan and the stranger suddenly became nervous.

Lin Yu stood up quickly: "Follow me!"

They followed Lin Yu through a narrow passage and came to a hidden room.

"Hide here and don't make any noise." Lin Yu said in a low voice.

Ruan Jianan and the stranger nodded, not daring to breathe.

There were footsteps and noisy voices outside, and it sounded like someone was up to no good.

Ruan Jianan's heart was in his throat, he didn't know what was waiting for them.
