Xie Lian was thinking hard regarding the photos that he saw back at the laptop. There was only one other person that he knew who could cast that soul transfer array in that short amount of time, although it was a pretty basic one. But why? He just did not understand why. So he turned to face Feng Xin and it seemed that he already knew what he was going to say.

"Dianxia, are you thinking about him ?" He poured tea and served it to Xie Lian. They were not coming to the funeral, instead, they moved to BingQiu's house. The security was better, and Xianxian loved it better there.

"What do you think, Feng Xin? That was most likely him, right?" Xie Lian sipped the tea and then munched the cookies. "I mean, you saw that green light, right? And he was the only one who could do that. But for what reason?"

"I can think a few out of my head right now." Feng Xin scoffed at his innocent Dianxia.

"So can I." Mu Qing also rolled his eyes since Dianxia seemed unaware of other people's attention, affection toward him. Hua Cheng was the exception. Probably because he was very intense.

"Oh? And what's that?" 
 
But before either of them could answer, the front door was opened and a little typhoon along with a black shadow ran inside and slammed into Xie Lian, then the girl shook the rainwater out of her hair and body just like the cat and together they cozied up to him. And Xie Lian forgot about everything else except the girl in his lap.

"Xianxian! How come you're so wet? Don't you have an umbrella?" Feng Xin quickly gave him a towel to dry her long hair, while Mu Qing dried Chenqing, with a disapproving look on his face. Ruoye looked at them with curious eyes.

"He ran away from the car with Chenqing." Lan Wangji entered the house looking as pristine as he always did without any droplets of water on him. "I think the cat missed him."

"Well, Chenqing is Xianxian's… familiar, so it's understandable." Xie Lian kissed the top of the girl's head. "So, baby, how's your day?"

"Let's see…" Xianxian took a cookie and munched it before she answered. "Ah yes, I cracked a nut today, and I also saved a damsel in distress. Not bad for a short outing, huh?" She looked so proud of herself it made Xie Lian throw a questioning glance at Lan Wangji.

"Long story short, he ended the Jin's family tree by himself." Lan Wangji took the girl in his arms. "You have to go change your clothes, otherwise you'll get a cold." He kissed her forehead fondly.

"Right. I wanna wear my unicorn onesies." She pouted, because although they just bought it yesterday, it was too small already for her.

"I'll buy you a new one later, okay?" She nodded and ran to her room with both cats. 

Lan Wangji then sat beside the smiling Xie Lian.

"He's so skillful huh? Like he had no fear at all. That's my Xianxian even though he's still a kid." Xie Lian chuckled.

"Now I wonder what you guys taught a kid that young. What exactly did Wei Ying's parents do again?" Lan Wangji could not find any information about Xie Lian and Wei Wuxian's parents, family, or anything. It was like they popped out of nowhere at the age of seventeen and ready to change the world. It was either their profiles were too high, or they deliberately erased every trace of their existence. Or both, judging by Xie Lian and Wei Wuxian's manner and self-confidence.

"My father and Xianxian's mother were siblings." Xie Lian quietly sipped his tea. He knew Lan Wangji would want to know everything about Xianxian, but he did not have any liberty to tell him. He just had to wait until Xianxian grew up more and told him himself. "Other than that, I think you better ask Xianxian later, don't you think?"

"Right." Knowing how secretive Wei Wuxian was, he would not like it if anyone poked around his life. Even though it was his boyfriend. He just needed to wait for a bit.
 
Be patient Lan Wangji.

 
Right about then, Liu Qingge entered the room and walked straight to Lan Wangji, his expression grim.

"I need to show you something." Then he opened his laptop.
Lan Wangji knew it must be bad news since he happened to know Liu Qingge's personality quite a bit. He was quirky and often blurted out some nonsensical words that only he seemed to understand. But Wei Wuxian was like that too, so he understood him quite a bit. So when he was all serious and had no smile, he knew that it was bad. When showed him what he got, Lan Wangji was at a loss for words.

"Here, every transaction that Lan's Research and Development has made so far." Liu Qingge showed him a long list of properties, lands, local and overseas. "They were hidden under different names, for tax evading purposes." He clicked the pertinent documents. "I also cross checked every transaction with your brother's whereabouts, and every single time he was in his office, where the transactions happened." He clicked on the security cameras, the access logs, and the computer's login. "But, he was not alone in his office, there were at least two other people there with him. His assistant and his security." He showed the login data and the corridor's security camera. "But get this. I hacked into your brother's phone, and every time the transaction happened on the laptop in his office, he was on the phone with someone." Liu Qingge looked so satisfied with himself, and he had that puppy look that wanted to be praised for his good work.

"Are you sure?" Lan Wangji checked the phone data.

"Is the pope catholic? Dude, of course I'm sure! Here, check it out, it was right at the time he called his girlfriend to ask her for dinner , and boy that was spicy." Liu Qingge clicked on the voice recording, which Lan Wangji did not dare to ask where he got that from, and only made a mental note not to have any phone sex in the future. "Wonder what made your brother so horny all the time. And that was not the only one…"

"Stop, I get it." Lan Wangji massaged his forehead. That was the sound of something he wished to forget. Xie Lian giggled from beside him. Even Mu Qing and Feng Xin also snorted. Xie Lian already knew that Liu Qingge was mischievous, just like this, and he was glad that he found out that Lan Wangji also had this side of him.
 
"There is a… bedroom in my brother's office." He still could not believe that his brother did those things in the office. The stress probably took a toll on him, and that's the only way to quickly unwind. The title Lan's Casanova seemed fitting now. 
 
"No need to explain, Lan Wangji, we are all just human. Hey I didn't say a word when you and Xianxian went at it all night back at the…oops." Liu Qingge smirked, he was actually scarred for life, knowing that his best friend was kind of a… beast in bed, and insatiable too.
 
Lan Wangji knew that Liu Qingge did it on purpose, but since it was true… 
 
"Please stop bragging about your sex lives, gentlemen." Xie Lian sighed. They were all like kids. "So what should we do now? By the way, Qingge, can you check something for me?" Xie Lian gestured to Feng Xin and he gave Liu Qingge a photo. "He entered this country under a guise, so I don't know what name he used, but I think it had something to do with Xianxian and Mo Xuanyu's death."

"Sure, Dianxia. Lan Wangji, there's something else I need to show you." Liu Qingge clicked on one of the security feed and enlarged a portion of it. "Do you see it?"
