"How did you get to this place?"

Liang Qiong just bypassed a few small alleys, stopped outside the agreed house number, pushed the door and saw Ji Ran, and immediately asked a little nervously.

She suddenly received a call from Ji Ran in the afternoon, in which Ji Ran told her that she knew something and successfully connected with the people around Gao Yecheng, but the mood in the words was too low, even Liang Qiong felt that something was wrong, and after several forced questions, Ji Ran confided where he was hiding now.

After breaking with Bai Xingchen, it was impossible for Ji Ran to return to his previous residence, so he could only find a rental house as a temporary shelter.

"No way, nowhere else to go. ”

Ji Ran's expression was calm, but his expression looked very haggard. Liang Qiong didn't know what happened to Ji Ran during this time, but she could guess that it was not a good thing, so she said with concern:

"Why don't you move to me, it's really uneasy to live in this place. ”

"Forget it, I don't want to drag you into the water, the days of being targeted by Gao Yecheng are really not too easy. I still need you to stay the same and help. ”

Liang Qiong knew Ji Ran's personality, so she could only give up. She found a place to sit down, and then began to talk about the purpose of the day:

"You said today that you hooked up with the people around Gao Yecheng, what do you mean?"

"A subordinate he trusts a lot, because he knows some things at home, so after chatting, he promised to help me keep an eye on Gao Yecheng, and I also promised that he would help him deal with things at home. ”

Ji Ran said vaguely, but Liang Qiong quickly understood what she meant, and nodded to show understanding.

"By the way, there's another very important thing. ”

Ji Ran looked serious, thought about it, frowned and said:

"I found a key witness, she has evidence of the original bombing, which can prove that Gao Ye was deliberately instructed to conceal the truth of certain facts. ”

"Really, who is that person? Is that an old employee? When I was investigating before, I found that there was a gap between the number of employees I actually found and the number of employees on duty that day, but no one mentioned this matter all this time. ”

Liang Qiong couldn't help but be excited when she talked about the activation in her heart all the time.

Ji Ran waited for her to finish and nodded:

"Yes, but she said that she didn't want to give me the evidence, because she didn't want her family to be harassed by Gao Yecheng, so. ”

"So you'd rather hide for the rest of your life?"

Liang Qiong took her words, and knew in her heart that Ji Ran did not persuade her, so the other party must be very insistent on her own ideas, I am afraid that there is really no good solution at present. She thought about it and asked Ji Ran:

"Do you know the information about her family?"

Ji Ran shook his head:

"I don't know, she hasn't revealed any news, her mouth is very strict, and she makes it clear that she doesn't want to involve her family, so I don't have a clue at all. ”

"Then you can always look for her information, right?"

"I only know that her current name is Liu Xia, and as for her previous name, I don't know very well. ”

"Liu Xia" Liang Qiong frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered something, quickly pushed the door open, and then left, before leaving, he left a sentence for Ji Ran:

"Wait for me to call tomorrow, and I can probably guess who it is. ”

***

Liang Qiong's movements were very fast, and early the next morning, Ji Ran received a call from Liang Qiong, in which the other party told her that she would arrive at a certain address at the agreed time after sunset, and also told Ji Ran to wait for the car she arranged to come to pick her up before she could leave.

Ji Ran obediently did as she said, and when the sun was only a small horn left, the car arranged by Liang Qiong also arrived on time, Ji Ran got in the car, and set off towards the location that Liang Qiong had said.

When she got out of the car, she saw Liang Qiong wearing a hat waiting at the intersection. Ji Ran tightened his clothes, lowered his hat a little, and walked over.

"Why are you here? There's nothing special about this neighborhood. ”

"Liu Xia's family should be here. Actually, I originally planned to come by myself, but after checking, I found that the person we were looking for seemed to have something to do with you, so I could only take a little risk and bring you here. ”

Ji Ran was a little surprised: "Someone related to me?"

"Yes, Anxi Lee. ”

When Ji Ran heard this name, she was stunned, her acquaintance with Li Anxi was actually very dramatic, once on the bus, Li Anxi was harassed, but due to personality reasons, he just retreated and tolerated it, Ji Ran looked at it coldly for a few minutes, couldn't bear to take pictures of the other party's movements, and by the way, he beckoned the other party to the police station.

Because of this incident, Li Anxi was very grateful to Ji Ran and thanked him specifically, and later accidentally found that the two were actually in two adjacent buildings, Li Anxi often asked Ji Ran to eat together, and over time, the relationship between the two became familiar.

In Ji Ran's eyes, Li Anxi is a very good-tempered and gentle person, and sometimes even so gentle that he is a little cowardly. So I often take care of her.

It's just that the two have never talked about family matters, and Ji Ran didn't expect that Li Anxi would be Liu Xia's daughter at all. But now that I know about this matter, and then look back and think about Li Anxi's current character, I think it is also because of the impact of her mother's disappearance.

"So, I feel like it might be more useful to ask you to talk to her. ”

Liang Qiong interrupted Ji Ran's thoughts, and seeing that she came back to her senses, she turned around and walked towards the entrance of the community, motioning for Ji Ran to follow her door.

When I got to the place and pressed the doorbell, a few seconds later, a weak voice came, with a little panic:

"Who?"

Liang Qiong let go of the way, let Ji Ran appear in front of the door, and answered.

"Anxi, it's me, Ji Ran. ”

It was silent for a few seconds, as if to confirm the identity of the visitor. But they didn't wait long, and soon, the door opened, Li Anxi was wearing pajamas, his hair was scattered, his face came out of the half-open door, and after seeing Ji Ran, the expression on his face changed from nervousness at the beginning to surprise.

"Ranran, why didn't you call me in advance when you came?"

She got out of the way and let Ji Ran enter the door, only to find that Ji Ran was actually following a person behind her, and looked at Liang Qiong a little nervously.

"It's okay, this is my leader, and he just finished running errands with me, so he came over. ”

Although Li Anxi's expression was still a little confused, but listening to Ji Ran's explanation, she obviously chose to believe it and handed Liang Qiong slippers.

When the two went in, Ji Ran walked around the living room. Although she is more familiar with Li Anxi, this is indeed the first time she really came to her house, although there was a situation of sending the other party home before, but most of the time, she went to the door to see the other party open the door, and then left.

At this time, knowing the relationship between Li Anxi and Liu Xia, she naturally looked at it more carefully.

There was a table in the living room, some distance from her, and there were some photos scattered on it, so Ji Ran walked over seemingly casually and looked at the photo frame seriously.

Sure enough, in the middle, Liu Xia's figure was found. In the photo, she hugged the young Li Anxi, and both of them smiled brightly.

Ji Ran was looking at the photo in a daze, Li Anxi walked in front of her, and seeing Ji Ran's gaze on the photo, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes:

"It was a picture I took with my mom when I was seven years old. ”

Li Anxi put the photo in place, pulled Ji Ran to sit down on the sofa, and set up the fruit plate, before asking her with a smile:

"Ranran, what is the matter with you coming to me today?"

Ji Ran and Liang Qiong glanced at each other, and then said:

"Anxi, your mother, is your name Liang Xia?"

Li Anxi's eyes widened instantly, and he said with some surprise:

"How do you know?"

"Anxi, did your mother also work in a friend's factory, and then, when the big explosion ,,,?"

Ji Ran couldn't go on a little when she said this, because the expression of the connection had obviously dropped, which made her a little unbearable. So he paused and asked the other party to get back in the mood.

"yes, but how do you know that?"

Li Anxi smiled reluctantly, still maintaining a polite tone, she believed that Ji Ran should not ask her about such a thing for no reason, and she believed that the other party would not have any bad thoughts about her.

"I ,,, I saw your mother the other day. ”

At this moment, Li Anxi couldn't sit still at all, the fruit in her hand didn't hold it steadily, she fell to the ground and rumbled around, she came back to her senses a little, but the expression on her face was still full of shock:

"Ranran, don't be kidding, my mother ,,, fifteen years ago"

"I didn't lie to you, she is indeed alive. ”

Li Anxi didn't want to hear it anymore, but he still maintained a friendly state in the face of Ji Ran: "How is it possible? If my mother is still alive and you have seen her, it means that she is in this city, so why don't you come to me? ”

Ji Ran looked at her reluctant smile, ruthlessly, and continued:

"That's because she can't and won't dare to come to see you. The reason why she didn't dare was because she survived the bombing fifteen years ago, but she also broke a big secret, in order to keep this secret, in order to protect your safety, so she could only hide and stay away from you. ”

"How is it possible, you're telling a story again. ”

Li Anxi was a little shaken in her heart, because she knew that Ji Ran was a person who didn't like to lie, and Ji Ran's current state was too serious, so serious that she almost believed it. However, Li Anxi couldn't accept this kind of story from the bottom of her heart, it was too unbelievable and beyond her imagination.

"I really didn't lie to you, I could even take you to see her if you wanted. In fact, I came to you today, in addition to telling you about this, I also hope that you can do me a favor, a very important favor. ”
