"You will help me? Why?"
Lily asked, displaying a faint smile, which made Nelson instantly blush. He didn't think so much about this reaction at that time. Listening to Linda and Lily talking about Jessie's antics made Nelson feel disheartened. He felt compelled to assure Lily that he can be relied upon to protect her.
"I……"
He didn't say anything for a long time, which made Linda and Anna burst into laughter.
"Nelson is very shy."
Lily began to scrutinize Nelson up and down carefully.
She had not taken a look at him properly yet.
Nelson seemed to be more handsome than he was when she first met him. His refined facial features with the sharp angular edges that matched the angled corners of his mouth and the slenderness of his nose, all of which were features that would make girls crazy for him.
Lily had seen a lot of handsome guys, but few of them could tempt her.
And it seemed that Nelson was one of them.
"What do you want to say?" Lily wanted Nelson to finish his sentence. When she saw Nelson blushing, she became curious and couldn't help but tease Nelson.
Nelson said righteously, "I will help you in the name of the Nalan clan."
"But I have nothing to do with the Nalan clan. Why would you help me in the name of the Nalan clan?"
"Of course you do. You are a good friend to Lady Linda. If something happens to you, I will certainly help you, just on that premise alone."
Lily couldn't help but laugh.
When she heard that Nelson would help her, her heart warmed up.
Perhaps in recent years, one of her greatest pleasures is knowing Linda, Nelson and Anna.
Over her lifetime, she had been blessed with not only a loving and caring brother, who at a moment of need took the fall for her miscalculated revenge plot, but also with friends.
Or had she finally met someone who could make her fall in love?
Lily couldn't help but take another glimpse at Nelson, and then she opened the laptop.
"Linda, Stacy bought a train ticket to Deyang, Sichuan province at 10:00 this evening."
'This is particularly suspicious, ' Linda thought carefully, 'If she left her job two weeks ago, why is it that she is only leaving today?'
"That's very strange."
Besides, although she quit her job a few days ago, there was no information on her ID card that could explain why she was leaving SH City. But perhaps, she had found a new job.
Linda glanced at the clock, it was nine o'clock.
"Lily, can you find which station and platform she is taking the train from?" Linda asked.
"Of course I can."
Lily focused on the screen and began searching.
"Linda, I found two mobile phone numbers registered to her ID card. One was registered today. She called a taxi to go to the South Station at 9pm, using the account of a taxi app linked to this new number."
Lily told Linda about the search result.
"Nel..."
