Lin Zhiming was taken away from the police station by the special secretary, accompanied by Paul, a barrister of the Royal Bar Society, and Natalie Portman, the daughter of Duke Bauhinia.

Natalie has left her own testimony at the police station, proving that Lin Zhiming has been in her room at the time of the crime, and Natalie has also said that she will be legally responsible for her testimony to ensure his authenticity.

Lin Zhiming's suspicion was gone all of a sudden, although Li Xuan was really killed, but Lin Zhiming had a perfect alibi.

"Mademoiselle, the Duke has learned of what has happened to you at the Venetian tonight, and he wants you to return as soon as possible. Paul said.

"Oh, I'll go back if I want to. Natalie said.

"Your Excellency... Recently, my health has been getting worse and worse. Paul whispered to Natalie.

Natalie frowned and glanced at Lin Zhiming, who was chatting with the special secretary.

I don't know why, she didn't really want to go so fast, like that... I can also talk a few more words with a man named Lin Zhiming.

"Are you going back in the evening?" asked Natalie.

"Preferably like this, the private jet is ready and you are ready to go. Paul said.

"Okay, then wait for my news, you go to the plane and wait for me first. Natalie said.

Paul nodded, said goodbye to Lin Zhiming, and then turned to leave.

"I didn't expect you to be the daughter of Duke Bauhinia, amazing!" Lin Zhiming said to Natalie with a smile.

Duke Bauhinia is a very noble title, second only to the queen and prince in the rotten country, although he has no real power, but he controls a very large industry, and at the same time, it is also an existence that countless people need to look up to in the aristocratic circle.

Although the aristocratic set is not popular in the Dragon Country, the Western aristocratic set is still very useful in other places, and in the eyes of many people, even the most down-and-out nobles are much more noble than billionaires.

"Just an illegitimate daughter. Natalie said lightly.

Lin Zhiming was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

"Mr. Lin, I have already arrived at the hotel, I will not send you up, with my status, it is not suitable to enter the Venetian. The secretary of the special leader said apologetically.

"Okay, I'm sorry for you, I'll go find a special student to sit down tomorrow!" Lin Zhiming said.

"Okay, the leading student is waiting for you!" said the secretary, turning to leave.

Lin Zhiming glanced at Natalie and said, "Thank you for testifying for me at night." ”

"Didn't you let me go to your room just so I could testify against you?" said Natalie.

"Oh?" Lin Zhiming raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I didn't think so. ”

"Hypocrisy. Natalie said with a smile.

Although she said that Lin Zhiming was hypocritical, Natalie's tone did not have much contempt, more like a joke.

"Isn't it possible to be hypocritical in life?" Lin Zhiming said.

"That's so tiring, I can't stand it. Natalie shook her head.

Lin Zhiming smiled and pressed the elevator to the upper floor.

The elevator came quickly, and the two walked into the elevator together.

The elevator went up quickly, and neither Lin Zhiming nor Natalie spoke during the period.

In the blink of an eye, the elevator came to the top floor.

The two stepped out of the elevator and saw that the door of Li Xuan's suite had been cordoned.

"I'll see you again in the future. Lin Zhiming said.

"I... Can I go to your room for a drink?" asked Natalie suddenly.

"Have a drink?" Lin Zhiming was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Are you sure you won't get drunk?"

"I rarely get drunk unless I'm in a bad mood. Natalie said.

"Then you were drunk that day because you were in a bad mood? Lin Zhiming asked.

"Half of it, anyway, there are a lot of things that make me feel bad. Natalie shook her head.

"Let's go, have a drink. Lin Zhiming said and opened the door of his room.

Natalie followed Lin Zhiming into the room.

Lin Zhiming walked to the refrigerator, opened it, and asked, "What do you drink?" ”

"Give me a whiskey on the rocks, thank you. Natalie said.

Lin Zhiming nodded, poured two glasses of whiskey, took out ice cubes and put them in the wine, and then walked to the living room with a glass of wine in one hand and handed a glass of wine to Natalie.

Natalie sat down on the couch and tucked her legs into it.

Lin Zhiming sat opposite Natalie, raised his glass to Natalie and said, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm. Natalie nodded, took a sip of her wine, and then said, "Just now Paul told me about your identity, I have to say, your identity shocked me, you are not yet thirty years old this year, and you have already obtained something that others have not been able to get in several lifetimes." ”

"While you have gained a lot, you have lost a lot. Lin Zhiming said melancholy.

"I agree with this, just like me, after becoming the Duke's daughter, I lost my friends, I lost my lover, I lost too much, what about you, what have you lost?" Natalie looked at Lin Zhiming and asked.

"Lost the worries. Lin Zhiming said.

“...”

Natalie had the urge to spill the wine in her glass on Lin Zhiming's face.

"Just kidding, don't take it so seriously. Lin Zhiming said with a smile.

"I thought you were like me. Natalie said.

"You said you lost a friend and a lover, what's going on?" Lin Zhiming asked curiously.

"Originally, I was just an ordinary girl. Natalie took the wine glass, curled up on the sofa, looked at Lin Zhiming and said, "In the first thirty years of my life, I have been very happy, my family lives in a small village in Yoshire, I live with my mother, I go to school like an ordinary person, make friends, work, and fall in love, and this situation lasted until I was thirty-two years old. ”

"What happened?" Lin Zhiming asked.

"One day, Paul came to me, the same lawyer who told me that I was actually the illegitimate daughter of Lane Portman, Duke of Bauhinia," Natalie said.

"Why did I find you at that time?" Lin Zhiming asked with a frown.

"Because... My father's only son died in a car accident during that time, and he had no direct descendants, so I remembered that I was such an illegitimate daughter, so I became his heir, and one day I will inherit his title as the Duke of Bauhinia and become the new Duke of Bauhinia. Natalie said.

"I see!" Lin Zhiming suddenly realized, and then said, "Shouldn't this be a good thing for you?

"My original life was extremely peaceful, teaching in the high school in the county every day, my colleagues were my good friends, my boyfriend was a bank clerk, our life was very ordinary, very peaceful, but also very beautiful, but since I became the heir of the Duke of Bauhinia, all this has changed, I have to leave my familiar place, in the big city to learn the etiquette that a nobleman should master, I can't be friends with those ordinary people, because I am a nobleman, I can't fall in love with ordinary people, for the prosperity of the family, I will inevitably find a nobleman to marry in the future, I have to leave my boyfriend, leave my friendsDo you know the frustration of leaving the place where I've lived for more than thirty years?" asked Natalie.

"What age are you, and you nobles still have so many rules?" Lin Zhiming asked in surprise.

"If it's just an ordinary nobleman, there are not so many rules, but Duke Bauhinia is different, he is second only to the queen and prince in our country, so I must strictly abide by the rules of the family, from then on, I lived the life of a nobleman, life is full of all kinds of evil hypocrisy and gorgeous, my father gave me some inheritance, gave me a lot of money to squander, as long as I can inherit his title honestly in the future. Natalie said.

"Since you're not happy, why don't you leave, even if it's a duke, there's no way to force you to inherit the title, right?" Lin Zhiming asked.

"Yes, he can't force me, but... He was my father, and besides, he was sick. Natalie said helplessly.

"Sick?" Lin Zhiming frowned.

"I lived a few years as an aristocracy, and I hated that life, so I thought about leaving, but at this time, my father was seriously ill, and the doctor said that he would not live long, and I watched his health deteriorate day by day, and if I left at this time, what would he do?" asked Natalie.

"Hey!" Lin Zhiming sighed, this kind of thing was also a bit tricky for him.

"Slowly, I became what I am now, I took the money he gave me every day and didn't know what to spend, and finally I thought of gambling. Natalie said.

"Is it true to seek excitement by gambling?" Lin Zhiming asked.

"Yes. Gambling stimulates my senses and lets me know I'm still alive, but don't worry, I won't gamble anymore because I'm used to living like I am, and if you tell me to go back to living as poor as before, I won't necessarily be able to adapt to it. Natalie said.

"Why would anyone want to kill you?" Lin Zhiming asked suspiciously.

"Because of the right of inheritance. Natalie shrugged helplessly and said, "If I die, my father's title will be inherited by his other relatives, I am the first in line of succession, and the second in line of succession is my cousin, I think, maybe he let people assassinate me." Natalie said.

"After so many years, the wealthy family is still full of this kind of as always. Lin Zhiming said disdainfully.

"My father wants me to go back tonight, probably because he knows that someone is trying to kill me. Natalie said.

"Then you're leaving tonight?" Lin Zhiming asked.

"Hmm!" Natalie nodded, looked at Lin Zhiming and said, "So I'll tell you these things, because I don't know if I'll have a chance to say it again when I go back this time." ”

"Why did you say it to me?" asked Lin Zhiming.

"I don't know, maybe it's because you helped me. Thank you again!" said Natalie, picking up her glass.

"You're welcome. Lin Zhiming picked up the wine glass and touched it with Natalie in the air.
