In the next half a month, Shen Yuan was bored in his room, without going out, and when he woke up, he began to study the various sacrificial seals that the demon form had shown, and when he was tired in his heart, he turned to making totem poles, until he ran out of energy, covered with a quilt and fell asleep, and the cycle began again and again, without alarm.

Originally, Shen Yuan thought that such days would last for a long time.

Because there are still many unfinished totem poles for those thousand totem poles, and because the means displayed by the demon form really need a long time to ponder and study.

In addition, it would take a certain amount of time for the Black Dragon City and the Timing Department to resolve the contradictions between the two sides, and it was not appropriate for Shen Yuan to leave the area controlled by the Black Dragon City until the two sides had reached a conclusion.

But just half a month later, Shen Yuan's peaceful retreat life was interrupted by a sudden phone call.

Shen Yuan took the mobile phone handed by Ruan, looked down, and saw an unfamiliar number hanging on the screen. He raised his eyebrows slightly and pressed the answer button.

A voice came out of the earpiece of the mobile phone, causing a cold glow to suddenly jump out of Shen Yuan's eyes.

He had only heard this voice a few times, but he had already put it deep in the depths of his mind.

"Shen Yuan, I want to talk to you. ”

This is Wang Ning's voice.

Shen Yuan narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Wang Ning, I don't think we have anything to talk about, the so-called injustice will kill you, it's you." ”

After that, Shen Yuan hung up the phone directly.

The phone was silent for two seconds, and then the incoming call rang again.

Shen Yuan glanced at the same number on the screen and hung up again.

The bell rang for the third time.

Shen Yuan snorted angrily, picked up the phone and put it to his ear, and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you should still have a lot to talk about with Black Dragon City, right?"

Wang Ning smiled on the other end of the phone: "The accounts of the Time Sequence Department and Black Dragon City have been settled, so you don't have to be afraid, I have no ill will towards you, and I don't want to hurt you." ”

"Shen Yuan, let's meet, I think there are many misunderstandings between you and me that need to be clarified. ”

Shen Yuan's thoughts raced in his heart, and he sneered, but did not continue to refute Wang Ning, but asked, "Okay, then we will meet, I want to see what misunderstanding you want to clarify." ”

Wang Ning smiled with relief and hung up the phone.

Three seconds later, Shen Yuan's mobile phone received a message, the message was a simple time and address, and the address pointed to a café located on the edge of the central business district of Chiping City, which was some distance from the Xulong Group, but only two streets away from the controlled area of Black Dragon City.

Cheng Ruan gently held Shen Yuan's hand and asked worriedly, "Are you really going?" ”

"Since he wants to meet, let's meet, at least to know what the hell he's up to. You don't have to worry, if I want to escape, I must be able to escape. ”

Hearing Shen Yuan's answer, Cheng Ruan sighed lightly, knowing that there was no way to dissuade him, so he had to ask, "Do you want me to inform the Battle Witch Blade?"

Shen Yuan shook his head and refused.

The established plan was shattered by a sudden phone call from Wang Ning, and Shen Yuan simply put down the matter in his hand and decided to end the retreat for the time being.

He picked out a wind element totem pole and a water element totem pole from a bunch of totem poles made for Li Lao Immortal to make up for the totems on his body, and then went to Lei Ping, and learned that the differences between Black Dragon City and the Time Sequence Department had indeed been alleviated under the efforts of the Ministry of Quality and Security, and the two sides reached a basic consensus.

Hearing Shen Yuan say that Wang Ning wanted to meet, Lei Ping was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he still agreed with Shen Yuan to meet Wang Ning, and bluntly said that this might be a solution for Wang Ning to seek other ways after the violence failed, and Shen Yuan needed to listen.

And Lei Ping said that he would make arrangements around the meeting place to ensure Shen Yuan's safety.

On the second day, at half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Yuan pushed open the door of the café.

At the door of the café stood two members of the Timing Department in black suits, their faces were serious and cold, and they watched Shen Yuan pass through them and enter the café.

There were no clerks or customers inside, and only a short and fat middle-aged man sat at the middle table in the café with an area of nearly fifty square meters, with a sincere and friendly smile under gold-rimmed glasses.

There were also four members of the Timing Department in black suits, two standing behind Wang Ning and two standing in the café bar.

Seeing Shen Yuan push the door in, Wang Ning got up enthusiastically, took two steps diagonally and stood at the table, and greeted loudly: "Come to Xiaoyuan." ”

Shen Yuan sneered, walked to the other side of the table, pulled out the stool and sat down, hugged his chest and crossed his legs, looked at Wang Ning coldly, and said nothing.

Wang Ning was not embarrassed at all, and sat down with a smile.

At this time, the two people in black suits standing in the bar walked out, holding two cups of fragrant hot coffee in their hands, and placed them in front of Wang Ning and Shen Yuan respectively.

Wang Ning took a sip of coffee, saw that Shen Yuan didn't move, and didn't care, gently put down the cup in his hand, looked Shen Yuan up and down very seriously, and sighed: "I saw you when you were born, but I didn't expect that you are already so old now......"

"I've always wanted to see you, but your mother hasn't allowed you. When they said goodbye, they looked like enemies. ”

Wang Ning's tone was like a conversation between relatives, which made Shen Yuan's heart extremely annoying.

Shen Yuan sneered, squinted at Wang Ning, and asked, "So what? So you killed her?"

Wang Ning was stunned, his eyes widened, his eyes were full of shock and incomprehension, and it seemed that even the pupils of his eyes changed with the change of mood.

"What did you say? Who did I kill?"

Hearing Wang Ning's rhetorical question, Shen Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"You killed my mother! Kill Li Ping!!" Shen Yuan sat up suddenly, leaned over the table with his upper body, reached out and grabbed the tie on Wang Ning's chest viciously, and yelled hoarsely.

Seeing this, the two black suits standing behind Wang Ning took a step forward, wanting to push away Shen Yuan, who was suddenly agitated.

Wang Ning raised his hand to stop the two black suits.

He looked directly at Shen Yuan's aggressive bloodshot eyes, didn't dodge at all, and said earnestly: "Shen Yuan, I didn't kill her." How could I possibly kill her?"

"I know it's easy for you to misunderstand, but I really didn't kill her. ”

"Give me a chance to explain. ”

Looking at the sincerity in Wang Ning's eyes, Shen Yuan slowly let go of Wang Ning's collar and sat back on the seat, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, then you can explain." ”

"That day, your mother asked me to meet, and the place where we met was where we had our first date. ”

"The old café had been demolished and turned into a building, so we met at the top of the building. ”

"Time has passed, and we are no longer the same as we were. Many dreams have been quietly shattered in the passage of time, and she and I, who were originally young and innocent, have become two old men wrapped in the dust of the world. ”

"She dressed up very carefully. Although I have lost the appearance of my youth, it makes me feel like I have seen that girl again. The girl who would spend the afternoon arguing with me about whether or not to add ice to iced coffee. ”

"A treasure that I once vowed to protect for the rest of my life can now only be exchanged for a veiled joke of hypocrisy. ”

"Li Ping asked me out because she asked me for something. She begged me to help Shen Fuqing's company. ”

"But...... This is a violation of the regulations of the Timing Department, and I cannot use the power of the Timing Department to influence the operation of the market just because of personal feelings. ”

"So I ...... I rejected her ......"

Speaking of this, Wang Ning lowered his head guiltily, his eyes were red, and a thick color of remorse appeared in his eyes.

"And then?" Shen Yuan's eyes narrowed, there was no sadness or joy on his face, and he quietly looked at Wang Ning opposite, hiding all his thoughts in the depths of his chest.

"She thinks I don't help her because of resentment, because of jealousy......"

"So she said to me, she said ......"

Wang Ning's voice became trembling, and there was even a slight whimper.

She said...... She used this life to make amends for me, and asked me to forgive her for the harm she had done to me over the years......"

"I haven't had time yet...... She's ...... Jumped off. ”

Large tears rolled down from the corners of Wang Ning's eyes, and his eyes looked at his hands spread out on his knees without focus, as if the scene of that day resurfaced in front of his eyes.

Wang Ning sniffed hard, tried to suppress the tremor in his voice, and continued: "In order to prevent the Xulong Group and me from being exposed unnecessarily, I used the channels of the Ministry of Quality and Safety to cover up this matter as a suicide case...... Erased the existence of my existence in it. ”

"That's what happened that day, Shen Yuan, I don't know what you misunderstood. I didn't kill Li Ping, I couldn't have killed her!"

"Because ......"

"She'......"

"It's my whole youth......"

Wang Ning's red eyes looked at Shen Yuan, as if there was a bloody scar hidden in it, humble and helpless.

Shen Yuan looked at Wang Ning in front of him, and then began to laugh.

Cachinnation.

Laughing maniacally.

The laughter even passed through the café's thick double-deck windows and clearly reached the crowded street outside, attracting the attention of passers-by.

After more than ten minutes, Shen Yuan stopped his almost crazy laughter, sat on the chair panting, looked at Wang Ning opposite, and asked with a smile: "So what? What do you want to say? Let me let Wang Shaofeng go?"

Wang Ning sighed and nodded slightly, "Your mother has always been reluctant for me to approach you, if it weren't for Shaofeng, I would never appear in front of you in my life." ”

"He's dead. Shen Yuan said lightly.

Wang Ning shook his head and said with certainty: "He is not dead, he is in your hands." ”

Shen Yuan looked at Wang Ning, and Wang Ning also looked at Shen Yuan.

Wang Ning was the first to speak again: "You can't kill him." ”

"Why. ”

Wang Ning gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and said word by word: "He is your younger brother." ”

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows, and his voice went straight up.

"What is he?"

"He's your half-brother. Wang Ning replied word by word again.

Shen Yuan's stomach was already laughing painfully, but at this time, he couldn't help laughing again.
