Chapter 398: Tenderness is like water
I told Elle what Long Chen and I told about the Xishan Ancient Tomb, and Elle was speechless when she heard it. Sun Shao was so vicious that he disregarded the lives of more than a dozen people.
Zhou Ran, when the ancients were buried, they often set up many traps and traps in the tomb in order to prevent future generations from robbing the tomb. But among all the tomb robbers, few of them ended well. I heard what you said, those who went down to the tomb probably touched some mechanism inside, so they caused a huge stone to fall from the sky and seal the cemetery itself. "Elle is such an all-rounder, she knows pretty much everything.
"It's just that I don't understand why those people are howling like crazy when they go inside?" I asked, confused.
"There must be some kind of gas in the tomb that when you inhale it, you can hallucinate or see something very scary. In short, the knowledge contained in the ancient tomb is too great. Sometimes even a curse can kill trespassers. Elle's eyes were visibly frightened when she said this.
"Alright, let's not talk about the dead. I heard that Zhu Huantian was also coming to Rongcheng in the past two days, and his appearance was to cheer up Sun Shao, but his real purpose was to come to the ancient tomb. I sighed.
"Zhou Ran, so many people have died, are you going to hide it like this?" asked me suddenly.
"I'm just a little skeptical that what Long Chen said is completely true. Moreover, no one reported that there was a missing person, and even if I went to report the case, what kind of grounds would the police station use to arrest Sun Shao. In addition, Zhu Huantian is the mastermind of this matter, once this matter is announced to the public, Zhu Huantian will inevitably get the news and escape, and it will be even more difficult to find him in the future. ”
I groaned, the reason why I couldn't bear to report it was because I wanted to destroy the criminals led by Zhu Huantian in one fell swoop after getting sufficient evidence.
"Zhou Ran, it's really hard for you. However, I vaguely feel that Zhu Huantian is not their biggest owner. Elle said worriedly.
"What do you mean?" I was even more stunned, a Zhu Huantian was a headache. Is there someone else behind the scenes?
"Do you remember the resignation of your secretary Wang Qing? She wrote in her resignation report that she did not dare to say it from her master. And where she's gone now, you know what?"
Elle's words reminded me of Wang Qing, the secretary who had been my secretary for nearly two years. In the end, because of guilt, he resigned. In fact, I don't resent her in my heart, and I'm even worried about her safety. She is a good girl, and she is probably oppressed or instructed by others.
I sighed and said softly.
"Where do I know her whereabouts? Ellie, the next thing is the big thing about the bidding, Zhu Huantian may have to come. So I tried not to show up and stared at him from behind. Look at what he and Sun Shao want to do?"
Ellie and I carefully studied what would happen next, and whether or not to report the incident to Officer Zhang Rui. Ellie looked calm.
"Zhou Ran, as you said. It's not that Chen Long's words can't be believed, but he can't believe them all. It's better to secretly observe their movements behind their backs, so as not to startle the snakes. ”
I sat in Ellie's guest room for a while, and suddenly remembered that in my guest room, Zhu Qiqi was still lying on the sofa in the living room. I smiled wryly at Ellie.
"Ellie, help me take Zhu Qiqi away! I'm helpless. ”
"Don't you have a ghost in your heart?" Elle gave me a resentful look, but still acquiesced. I didn't refute it, as long as it is a man, who would not be tempted in the face of such a bewitching temptation?
Elle and I returned to the guest room, and Zhu Qiqi had already left. The thin blanket was neatly folded on the sofa, and the bottle of Louis XIV rested untouched on the coffee table.
Elle gave me a smirk, questioning.
"Isn't it a little disappointed?"
"Elle, what do you say? Don't you understand my heart? I'm talking about wine now, and I don't dare drink the wine that anyone brings me. I will never do anything to be sorry for you again. ”
In the face of Ellie's questioning, I didn't know what to say. Yes, Zhu Qiqi makes me a little tempted, but I will never do anything despicable.
"Zhou Ran, you should rest early! I'm not a person who is suspicious, time will tell. "Elle exited the room, and at that moment I really wanted to keep Elle, but I couldn't.
The night was silent, and I was lonely. I smoked on the balcony and watched the smoke rise. The phone on the coffee table rang suddenly, and I walked over and picked it up.
It was an unfamiliar number, but when I answered it, it was a very familiar voice.
"Zhou Ran, it's me. I'm Xie Ran. Xie Ran seemed to be crying, but not loudly, as if he was worried about being heard.
I don't know what kind of affection I have for Xie Ran now, I've been together for a long time. Love will slowly become numb, but it may be replaced by family affection.
It's not so much that I want to forget Xie Ran, but that I hide her deep in my heart.
"Xie Ran, where are you now?, are you doing well?" At this moment, I found that I had not forgotten Xie Ran, but felt that I had been worrying about her. It's not the kind of care between lovers, just like worrying about the little girl next door many years ago.
"I don't know where it is? Zhu Huantian and I have been sitting on the ship for a few days and nights since we came to the mainland from Nanyang. It's pitch black outside, and I don't know where I've been. Zhu Huantian went to drink, so I secretly made a phone call to you, you have to take precautions in advance, so as not to be conspired against. ”
Xie Ran was reporting to me, and I remember the last time she came back out of the blue. Appearing as the boss of the Black Tiger Gang, how proud he is. Chen Long, An Xuan didn't even pay attention to Sun Shao. But what happened later? Xie Ran was finally conspired by several of them, which led to the Black Tiger Construction Project established by the Black Tiger Gang to end in a fiasco. And An Xuan, in order to curry favor with Zhu Huantian, still sent Xie Ran back.
As the so-called people's hearts are not ancient, how can Xie Ran be the opponent of several of them.
"Xie Ran, I don't have to worry about you. You pay attention to your own safety, my mother remembered you yesterday!" I told Xie Ran, but I was still relieved.
I hung up the phone, but I still held it and refused to put it down. A figure fell in front of me, slender and slender. I don't have to guess, it's Ellie.
"Is it Xie Ran calling you?" Ellie leaned down behind me, putting her face to my ear.
I'm not surprised how Elle got in, as we both have each other's room cards.
"Xie Ran and Zhu Huantian came to Rongcheng together, and they told me to embankment Zhu Huantian. I replied softly, with vicissitudes in my tone.
Elle just gently held me behind my back and whispered in my ear.
"Zhou Ran, don't think too much, if there are any difficulties, let's face them together, okay?"
I jerked to my feet, turned around, and held Ellie tightly in my arms. At that moment, my cold heart felt melted by Ellie's warmth......
