On a moonlit night, in the corner of the city, on the road paved with trees and shadows, two people slowly walked over, both dressed in black, walking in this narrow alleyway, one after the other, as if they were Ji Ran and Bai Xingchen.

The two of them were one step apart, and Ji Ran obediently followed behind Bai Xingchen, although he was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask too much why Bai Xingchen took her to such a slightly desolate place at night.

Bai Xingchen walked ahead, looked back from time to time to see if she was following, took her around a few corners, and stopped in front of a low building.

"What is this?"

Ji Ran stopped behind him, and finally asked the doubts he had been having.

"I'm going to bring you to meet someone today. ”

"Who?"

Bai Xingchen lowered his head, he couldn't see his expression clearly, but there was a slight melancholy in his tone:

"The people related to Kaiyu are also, the people related to the case before your parents. ”

He said it very lightly, but it slammed into Ji Ran's heart like a jackhammer, making her gasp unconsciously, and then grabbed Bai Xingchen's arm tightly.

"You mean, in fact, my brother has already found a clue before?"

Bai Xingchen grabbed her shoulder, patted her gently, and then hummed:

"Just before his accident, I found the important witness at the beginning, but I didn't have time to make good arrangements, just"

He didn't say the next words, but he knew that Ji Ran understood, so he just gently hugged her, resting his chin on her hair, bringing her a little comfort.

After a long time, Ji Ran finally walked out of that decadent mood, she gently pulled Bai Xingchen's hand, moved closer to the door, glanced at Bai Xingchen, and then reached out and knocked.

There were some hoarse female voices from the door:

"Who?"

Ji Ran didn't answer, raised a little strength, knocked again, and then the voice of the person in the door was a little higher:

"Who?"

As soon as Ji Ran raised his hand, Bai Xingchen grabbed her wrist, held it in his hand at a different angle, and then said to the door:

"Sister Liu, it's me, Xiaobai. ”

After he said this, he really didn't speak anymore, but there was the sound of footsteps, which got closer and closer, and after a few seconds, the door showed a crack, revealing half of his face, and he looked out with some vigilance.

When those eyes saw Bai Xingchen, the vigilance in their eyes faded a lot, but as soon as they moved to Ji Ran's body, they instantly became vigilant again. She clung to the door frame, and the lock in the exposed gap was crumbled even tighter.

Bai Xingchen saw her nervousness, smiled at her as if comforting, and said softly:

"Sister Liu, don't be nervous, this is my girlfriend, I came over today, just to see how you are doing lately, and ask some questions by the way.

"I'm not feeling well today, you can do it yourself another day. ”

Sister Liu hurriedly said and wanted to close the door, but was stopped by Bai Xingchen, he looked at Sister Liu quietly and said:

"Actually, in addition to being my girlfriend, she also has an identity, that is, Ji Kaiyu's sister, I brought her over to see you today, I hope you can have a chat, just for my sake, for the sake of Kaiyu's face to help you, okay?"

Bai Xingchen's tone was soft, and his words were polite and respectful, Sister Liu had already been grateful to Bai Xingchen, but now she suddenly heard that Ji Ran was Ji Kaiyu's sister, and remembered the past, even if she was still a little nervous, she finally opened the door.

Inside the door was a small room, crowded, full of clutter, and the furniture was in tatters, full of the smell of decay. The door was very low, Ji Ran bent down slightly and walked in, and he didn't have any intention of observing, just staring at Sister Liu.

At this time, under the illumination of the light, she saw Sister Liu's appearance clearly, she looked like she was fifty years old, her hair was half white, her back was slightly hunched, the skin on her face was rough and loose, her eyelids drooped, and she looked very bad.

She was constantly speculating in her heart about the relationship between the person in front of her and Ji Kaiyu, but she couldn't figure it out, so she could only organize sentences and ask in the other party's obviously nervous and curled up state:

"Sister Liu, I am Ji Kaiyu's sister, I believe that my brother has already looked for you, I don't know how you talked about it and what you said at the beginning, but now, I really want to know what happened between you at the beginning, what do you know about the accident between my parents and my parents, this is really important to me. ”

Ji Ran stared at Liu Xia, not wanting to miss any of the expressions on her face, and then, she saw fear and panic on that face, which made her completely sure that Bai Xingchen's words were true, this person who was not amazing years ago definitely knew something, and maybe he still had decisive evidence in his hand.

Thinking of this, she decided to force it again, took a few steps forward, and walked in front of Liu Xia, this distance brought some oppression, which made Liu Xia even more panicked.

"I... I..." She paused for a long time and didn't say anything, Ji Ran was waiting for a little anxious, Bai Xingchen saw it, and simply helped her answer:

"Sister Liu, I know that you have been very tired for so many years, when Kaiyu found you, he thought that he could overthrow Gao Yecheng and let the truth be revealed to the world, but in the end, it was a pity that he didn't do it. I know that you must have some evidence in your hands, and I also know that if it wasn't for Kaiyu's accident, you would have handed over the evidence to him. In the past few years, I have been helping you hide your secret life, but now, Ran Ran She is bent on finding out what Kaiyu didn't do at the beginning, can you tell us what you know..."

He said sincerely, and Liu Xia's face also loosened for a moment, but soon, the panic was revealed again.

"I'm sorry, I really don't want to say any more. ”

What she said was that she didn't want to say it again, not that she couldn't say it, of course Ji Ran understood the gap in this point, and she couldn't take care of anything else at the moment, so she walked in front of Liu Xia, the distance from her was very close, her face was almost pasted, and her face showed undisguised nervousness and anxiety.

"Sister Liu, I beg you, you said you don't want to say it again, I don't know why, but my parents and brothers have had an accident because of this matter, I really can't let go, compare my heart to my heart, if you don't know anything, all your relatives are gone, and then you are left alone to track down their whereabouts, but in the end you find that you still don't know anything, how desperate you are, I really beg you, just tell me what you know, what happened back then." ”

She looked at Liu Xia fearlessly, and her face did not hide her pain and despair at all, just looking at her quietly, her eyes were even full of tears.

She waited for a long time, and Queen Liu Xia took a step forward and sighed:

"You and your brother are really the same dead eyes. ”

She waved her hand to let Ji Ran and Bai Xingchen find a place to sit down, found two cups and wiped them, while doing these actions, she was still entangled, just thinking about Ji Ran's words just now, and then thinking about the other party's care for herself when she was in contact with Ji Kaiyu before, and then thinking about Bai Xingchen's care for herself in the past few years, she finally made up her mind.

She poured two glasses of water for Bai Xingchen and Ji Ran, then sat opposite the two, holding the cup and thinking about where to start, and waited for a quarter of an hour before she finally opened her mouth in the expectant eyes of the two.

"You're right, I do know something. Ji Ran, your father and mother used to be my employees, and the bombing case at that time was indeed not that simple. ”

"So, Sister Liu, where were you in the first place?"

Ji Ran was a little excited, the hand holding the cup used some strength, the joints were white, Bai Xingchen saw it, and naturally took the cup in her hand and held it in his hand, Ji Ran was unaware of this, and still asked what he wanted to know.

"Yes," Liu Xia pondered for a moment and nodded:

"And I wasn't just there, I accidentally broke Gao Yecheng's conversation with them. ”

"What did they say?" Ji Ran continued to ask, but this time Liu Xia was silent.

After a while, she said:

"I don't remember what I said, but it's not a good thing to remember, otherwise, how could I have ordered someone to blow up the factory in a hurry?"

"Exploded?" Ji Ran was frightened by this sentence, she chewed the meaning carefully, and asked with some uncertainty:

"You mean, the original bombing was actually operated by Gao Yecheng himself?"

Liu Xia nodded: "Otherwise, do you really think that there are so many accidents in the world? Many accidents are just to cover up some unsightly things." ”

When Liu Xia said this, she remembered the scene where the fire was soaring that day, and she hurriedly slipped away and escaped after accidentally breaking the conversation between Gao Yecheng and others, and she was even a little afraid.

"Something unsightly?" Ji Ran repeated these words, looked at Liu Xia and nodded, she also understood a lot, and simply stared at Liu Xia and asked:

"So, you still know exactly what they talked about, what secrets are buried in that factory, right?"

As soon as the words fell, she really saw Liu Xia's face change, and now she believed her guess even more, and then said:

"And you still have the evidence, right?"

She finally understands why Bai Xingchen brought her over, when Ji Kaiyu first found out here, something suddenly happened, Bai Xingchen knew that it was related to Liu Xia, but he didn't know what it was related to, so he didn't move in the past few years and didn't ask anything, and now that Ji Ran has appeared, he decided to tell this matter and open a way for Ji Ran's current dead end.

She also knows very well that if Liu Xia really has very crucial evidence in her hand that can defeat Gao Yecheng, then the hiding person who should beg for mercy will now become Gao Yecheng, and Ji Kaiyu, all the grievances of her parents will dissipate with the advent of evidence.

Thinking of this, she dragged the worn-out chair and moved a distance forward.
