"Knock knock~"

Lin Zitan walked upstairs and found that the door of Mike's study was closed, and Li Manrui should have locked himself inside, so he knocked lightly on the door.

After waiting for only a few seconds, Li Manrui opened the door from the inside, and Lin Zitan saw that Li Manrui's meticulous hair was a little messy at the moment, and his face was rarely pale, so he hurriedly said with concern:

"Mom, what's wrong with you?

As he spoke, he followed the haggard Li Manrui into the study.

This study is no longer the same as before, and the books on the shelves around it have been packed in boxes by Li Manrui.

The large dark brown desk was also spotlessly cleaned up by Li Manrui, but the computer, pen holder and office supplies were also missing.

The whole study gives people the feeling of being desolate, decadent and revealing a sense of age and a faint smell of soot.

"This is what he left me as a legacy, a pile of tattered books, and a notebook that he carefully hidden!"

As soon as Li Manrui entered, she walked directly to the position of the floor-to-ceiling window, picked up a black notebook from the ground, walked back and handed it to Lin Zitan.

"Notebook?"

Lin Zitan took Mike's notebook, and although many years have passed, this notebook is quite well preserved.

Lin Zitan opened it gently, and there were some fragmentary logs written in it after returning from Lin Zitan's fall into the sea.

The first is a confession, which briefly explains that his son William is the mastermind who caused Lin Zi to fall into the sea.

"W. I know you did it, but I'm going to keep my mouth shut about Mary, but luckily this kid is okay, otherwise, I really don't know how to deal with her!"

This is followed by a record of a few sentences every once in a while.

"The boy came back so much that I could hardly believe my eyes, and despite his care, he really changed. ”

"The first gift I gave him, he seemed to be very nervous, if scratching the lottery ticket can make money, then how many people have to fall into this illusory life? Fortunately, he is very sensible~"

"A. shot again, but fortunately W. intervened and didn't cause a catastrophe, what are you going to do with this kid? He's completely innocent......"

"Seeing him sitting in the car and happy, I still feel ashamed, since I can't stop them from making mistakes, I can only make up for it like this. ”

There are many more in the back, Lin Zitan took a closer look, most of Mike's diaries were recorded when he and Mike had an intersection or he was framed by the Amanda family, and more or less Mike rescued him.

It wasn't until after the yacht accident that Mike didn't write anymore, and before that, Mike's words were very meaningful!

"What many people think is the end is actually the real beginning!"

When Lin Zitan saw this, he subconsciously looked at the time when Mike wrote this diary, July 22nd!

This point in time is too sensitive for Lin Zitan, this is the day when Lin Guodong was thrown into the sea by Lao Hei, and it is also the day when Lin Zitan got out of the yacht accident after nine deaths, Mike's words are as mysterious as some kind of prophecy!

---------------

"Isn't it...... How many times have they framed you without me knowing?"

Li Manrui didn't know the waves churning in Lin Zitan's heart at the moment, and when he saw that he turned the log to the last page, he said sadly.

"Mom, it's okay, it's all gone, whether it's William, Amanda or Mike, they're all gone......"

"Amanda is dead, really, when?" Li Manrui said excitedly when she heard this.

"He died during the epidemic, I don't know the specific date, but I found someone to verify, it was him, Leo went to pick up the ashes in person~"

Lin Zitan was still pondering Mike's last sentence, so when he answered Li Manrui, it sounded a little careless.

"Good and evil are rewarded, it is really innocent to die!" Li Manrui gritted his teeth and said.

As Li Manrui spoke, Lin Zitan turned around and pushed the large desk that was cleaned up by Li Manrui forward, revealing the dark compartment under the floor.

Just in Li Manrui's eyes full of surprise, Lin Zitan opened the dark grid and tapped lightly around the empty dark grid.

"How do you know there's a secret compartment here?" Li Manrui couldn't help but ask.

"I came in and checked after Mike was arrested, and I took the gun and magazine inside, and I didn't know you hid the pistol at the time!"

Lin Zitan replied softly while knocking.

"What else can be in here, it's such a big place~"

Li Manrui looked at Lin Zitan's movements curiously, puzzled.

"I always thought he should have some secrets!"

Lin Zitan originally wanted to move the desk a little more, but unfortunately the desk was a log, big and heavy, and he could barely push it away, but it was not easy to move it.

"I've put away all the books in this room, almost one by one, or I can't find the journal at all.

And I looked at the four walls, and the back of the frame, and there was nothing, I really didn't expect him to have a mechanism hidden under his desk......"

Li Manrui couldn't help but report all his exploration results to Lin Zitan.

"Mom, go and let Xiao An come up for a while, I want to move this desk away. ”

After Lin Zitan waited for Li Manrui to finish speaking, he finally raised his head from the knock on the dark grid and said.

"What did you find? Oh, okay, I'm going to call him!"

Li Manrui said and turned around and walked out the door.

"Mom, your hair ......"

As soon as Li Manrui walked to the door, she heard Lin Zitan remind.

"Oh, look at my messy hair~"

Through the brown-red lacquer surface of the study door, Li Manrui saw her messy hair, so she quickly loosened the headband, straightened her hair, and then didn't go back downstairs.

Lin Zitan, who was squatting there and stopped the percussion action, looked at the back of Li Manrui leaving, and found that she was really old for the first time!

The original black hair is now mixed with a lot of gray, and even the vigorous and upright posture is a little rickety!

This year, Li Manrui is 60 years old!

…………………

"Boss, have you discovered a new continent again?"

As soon as Xiao An came in, he said excitedly.

"Come here and help me lift this table away~"

Xiao An came in by herself, and Li Manrui didn't follow up at the moment.

"One, two, three~"

Xiao An and Lin Zitan were both big men, and the two of them worked together to lift the big desk off the original ground at once.

Lin Zitan turned around and tore the gray carpet under the desk along the gap above the dark grid, little by little, and sure enough, he saw that the floor here was different from the color of other places.

"Isn't this place empty?"

Xiao An looked at the dark grid and said strangely.

"Look at this floor, don't you think it's strange? from the dark grid here~"

Lin Zitan gestured with his feet, the carpet covered the four floor tiles outside the dark grid, and the whole room was carpeted on the log floor, only these four were floor tiles, although they were the same wood color, but these four were independent.

"Boss, there's a crack here, this floor tile can be removed!"

Saying that, Xiao An had already started to pick the floor tile.

"Be careful~"

Lin Zitan didn't know what Mike would store here, so he hurriedly reminded him.

"Ding~" When Xiao An took the floor away, he accidentally touched a piece next to him, and immediately made a crisp sound.

"There's a safe in there! It's pretty big. Xiao An said and pointed to Lin Zitan to see.

"Safe again, you go and call my mom~"

Lin Zitan thought that Mike had put two safes at home, and his brows frowned slightly.

"Xiao An said there is also a safe?"

Just as he was trying to uncover all four floor tiles, Li Manrui also followed Xiao An in.
