"Are you sure? You can punish that bastard Gao Jiaze?"
Ji Ran waited for this answer, knowing that Xiang Sibo had been shaken, he nodded firmly and said:
"I'm sure I can, but I need you to help me first. Xiang Sibo, you also know in your heart that if you want Yunxin to feel good and want Gao Jiaze to be punished, all we can rely on is the law and public opinion, but maybe before we pass things over, we will be intercepted halfway. Therefore, defeating Gao Yecheng is our only choice. ”
She was kind and seductive, and she knew in her heart that Xiang Sibo had actually determined her position, so after saying this, she stopped making a sound, waiting for Xiang Sibo to give her an answer.
After a long time, Xiang Sibo finally opened his mouth:
"Okay, I'll help you keep an eye on Gao Yecheng's moves, and I'll record what I know, but Ji Ran, I also hope that you can guarantee Yunxin's safety, until we all succeed, you have to keep it a secret. ”
As he spoke, he shook the document bag in his hand and said seriously:
"These things, before that, must not be seen by others. ”
He said seriously, Ji Ran listened to it, and Ye nodded seriously:
"I like her a lot, so I won't do anything to hurt her. ”
Xiang Sibo looked at her for a long time, and finally made sure that Ji Ran was not lying, his mood calmed down a little, and he was ready to leave.
"I'm not suitable to stay out for a long time, I will do my best to promise you, and if there is any progress, I will communicate at any time. ”
As he spoke, he was about to go out.
Ji Ran hesitated for a moment and stopped him.
"Xiang Sibo, can I ask you a question?"
"You say. ”
Ji Ran pondered the sentence for a long time before cautiously asking:
"I know that my brother used to have a relationship with you, can you tell me that my brother is really dead,,, he is really dead?"
Xiang Sibo's figure was stunned, a little stiff in an instant, he raised his eyes, looked at Ji Ran, his eyes were full of sadness that she couldn't understand, and after a long time, he opened his mouth, but he didn't reply to her directly:
"Bai Xingchen told you?"
Ji Ran thought about it and nodded. Unexpectedly, Xiang Sibo sneered, and his expression became complicated when he looked at her.
"You're with him?"
"Yes. Ji Ran didn't hesitate, and he didn't feel that there was anything to hesitate, so he replied simply, but as soon as the words fell, he was vaguely flustered at the eyes of the previous Xiang Sibo.
"What do you want to say?" she asked Xiang Sibo.
"Since you're all together, then I don't have anything to say, if there's any problem, just go ask him. ”
The words were extremely normal, but Ji Ran heard the mockery in his tone, so he was a little anxious, and directly asked:
"I'm with him, what does it have to do with my brother? I just want to ,,, confirm my brother's ,,,."
She couldn't say anything anymore when she said this, Xiang Sibo looked at her, suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, took a step forward to Ji Ran, and lowered his voice:
"Okay, if you want to know if your brother is really gone, then let me tell you, he is really gone, and I watched him go with my own eyes. But since you want to know the truth, I'll tell you another thing later. Do you know who shot your brother in the chest?"
Ji Ran had a bad premonition, a possibility flashed in her mind, her face turned pale in an instant, she instinctively wanted to run away, don't listen to the next words, but her feet seemed to be filled with lead, and she couldn't move a bit.
So she heard Xiang Sibo's words ringing in her ears:
"That person is Bai Xingchen. Do you know that when Bai Xingchen raised the gun, Cheng Yu kept saying 'please, please, please', but the shot still came out of the chamber, and then, it took your brother's life. ”
As he spoke, looking at Ji Ran's face, he couldn't bear it, so he stopped talking, patted her shoulder before leaving, and said softly:
"A lot of times, don't trust people too much. Because the more you believe, the more damage you may suffer later, the greater it will be. ”
***
Bai Xingchen watched Xiang Sibo come out of the warehouse, and when the two looked at each other, the other party cast a complicated look, with contempt, ridicule and a little guilt. At that moment, Bai Xingchen suddenly had a bad premonition.
But because of the agreement with Ji Ran, he still stayed here, looking at the surrounding environment, waiting for Ji Ran to sort out his mood and come out.
It's just that he waited for a long time, and half an hour passed, and when the sun was setting, Bai Xingchen finally couldn't help but walk in.
As soon as he stepped through the warehouse door, he froze.
Because Ji Ran was sitting on a stool, slowly pulling a stack of photos, from his point of view, it looked like a family portrait or something like a record.
He got closer and saw Ji Ran's expression, although it was calm, it was indeed full of tears, as if he had cried very violently before.
Bai Xingchen was nervous, took two steps forward, and wanted to walk to her side, but just as he was about to continue walking towards her, Ji Ran, who had not looked up, suddenly opened his mouth:
"Bai Xingchen, do you have anything to say to me?"
This state is really not right, Bai Xingchen was worried about her situation, and did not answer, but asked with concern:
"Ranran, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't you want to say it?" Ji Ran still lowered his head and asked in a low voice.
"Ranran, don't scare me, what's going on?"
Ji Ran suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Xingchen, but there was an emotion in his eyes that he couldn't understand:
"Someone just told me a story that made me feel like I've always been a little silly. Do you want to hear it?"
Bai Xingchen was really frightened by her, took a few steps forward, squatted down in front of her, and raised his head to meet her eyes:
"Whatever you want to say, I'll listen. ”
Still as gentle as ever, Ji Ran closed his eyes, a little sad. It's just that the thinking in my head is too chaotic, but it's surprisingly unanimous in shouting, "Speak up, say it." ”
So, she said:
"I just asked Xiang Sibo how my brother died. ”
Ji Ran looked at Bai Xingchen and said slowly. She stared at Bai Xingchen motionlessly, wanting to deny everything Xiang Sibo had just told her from his reaction, but Bai Xingchen's hand holding her face but suddenly paused, and the panic that flashed in his eyes, had already told her that those things she didn't want to believe were likely to be true.
It's just that she has always been stubborn, and she always doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, so she held back the pain in her heart and continued:
"Bai Xingchen, is it really your gun, a shot through my brother's chest?"
Bai Xingchen didn't speak, his heart was almost curled up in pain, at this moment Ji Ran's question was like a forced peel off the layer of skin he used to hide, and the pain and guilt in his heart were entangled, and he kept bubbling up.
"I ,,," he opened his mouth with difficulty, his voice was dry, but as soon as he spat out a word, his throat seemed to be sealed, and he couldn't spit out a word.
"If you say you don't, then I'll believe it. ”
Ji Ran looked at his entanglement and spoke. She knew that Bai Xingchen's character would not lie to her, but she still had some expectations, expecting to learn from him that everything was fake, and Xiang Sibo was lying.
It's a pity that she didn't wait.
Because after some entanglement, Bai Xingchen spoke:
"I'm sorry, it's me. ”
He put away the pain and guilt that had just surfaced, and lowered his head, and the voice he made had a muffled sound.
"How can you ,,, do it? Ji Ran broke down emotionally as she spoke, and there was some crying in her words, but she didn't care about that, just continued:
"Why are you so cruel to me, you can stay away from me, but you want me to like you, rely on you, and then tell me that you are also my enemy. Bai Xingchen, how can you be so bad. ”
She almost collapsed and shouted, Bai Xingchen looked at her sadly and distressedly, hesitated, but still stretched out his hand, wanting to hold Ji Ran into his arms.
It's just that when the hand was halfway out, it was knocked off by Ji Ran.
Then, a pain hit Bai Xingchen's face, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Ji Ran had already stood up, and his arm was hanging by his side before he could take it back, or she didn't want to take it back at all.
She wiped the tears from her face and said viciously to Bai Xingchen:
"This slap is your punishment for lying to me. As for my brother's affairs, don't worry, when I forget you one day and my emotions will no longer fluctuate for you, I will come back to you and make you pay. ”
With her now crying face, the deterrent effect is very weak, but Bai Xingchen knows that every word Ji Ran says is true and will be done. When she says this, she means that she will leave her life and her help. Alone again, embark on a journey to find the truth.
He panicked, so he grabbed Ji Ran's wrist, and said in an eager and gentle voice:
"Ranran, I know you hate me, but I really want to help you. It's really too dangerous for you to be alone, so it's okay to stay with me, and when you complete your goal, whatever you want to do to me, I can accept it, okay?"
What answered him was Ji Ran's hand that he simply shook off.
Ji Ran just looked at Bai Xingchen like this, the tears in her eyes fell one by one, but her expression did not loosen a little, she took out all her momentum, and said viciously:
"Stop dreaming, I can't stay with you anymore, I think that way, even myself, will hate myself. ”
After speaking, she took the materials that had been packed up a long time ago, hugged them in her arms, and ran out of the warehouse quickly.
Bai Xingchen was stunned for a moment, his legs that had been squatting for a long time when he got up were numb, and he knelt on the place, he turned his head to look at her back who was resolutely disappearing from the door, gritted his teeth and stood up, chased out, and when he arrived at the door, Ji Ran's figure was completely gone.
