5. Chapter 5
The cabin was extremely quiet, and the driver glanced at the passenger in the passenger seat from time to time, for fear that she would make some strange moves.
From the moment he got on the bus, the passenger's face turned pale, and there was a circle of swollen strangulation marks on his neck. And just now she seemed to be frightened by the radio, grabbing the driver and asking, "It's 2016?" 2016? ”
The driver stepped back slightly: "It's 2016...... Miss, are you alright? ”
"Are you sure? It's been five and a half years? ”
"Miss, why don't we take it to the hospital first?"
Then the passenger stopped talking.
If this isn't a malicious scam that the whole world has put together, where have these five and a half years gone? The latest memory in her mind was still the freshness of "yesterday", but the world and the rest of the world had passed nearly two thousand days and nights.
You Xinnian looked out the car window, this is G City, she can tell from the plane trees planted on the side of the street, the coffee shop on the corner of the street, the road signs and the name of the building. But this is no longer the G City she is familiar with, with brand-new high-rises and unfamiliar real estate reminding her that 2016 is not a scam. It really came, and You Xinnian was just a poor worm abandoned by time.
Her fists clenched tightly together, trembling all over.
"Miss, are you cold?" After all, the driver was a kind person, and turned the air conditioner up again, "Look at your ugly face, really don't you go to the hospital?" ”
You Xinian said in a low voice: "No, thank you." ”
On the bridge, it is only 5 kilometers away from Junyue Dijing. The coastline was still brightly lit, and she used to fly by helicopter over here, looking down on the whole of G-City. The lights are like the blood of G City, extending majestically from the center.
She looked back at the shore in the other direction, something she was used to doing every time she crossed the bridge. On the other side of the coast is the city's landmark, the bustling CBD center, and their Lotus Hotel building has always stood in the heart of the center. As long as you are on a high place, you can see the big words "Lotus" from any direction of G City. Lotus is the pride of their family, and even the pride of G City.
Just as something happened in the past few hours that she couldn't accept, "Lotus" was not immune, it was gone.
The lights on the bridge kept changing color on You Xinnian's face, and her expression was like freezing, unchanged.
She knew that she couldn't get through the gate without a key card, so she knocked on the doorman's window and said that she was looking for the owner of Building 8.
"Building 8?" The doorman said, "Ask your name." ”
You Xinian hesitated for a moment and said, "My name is Xu Shi." Xu Shi is the girlfriend of her younger brother You Randong.
The doorman told her to wait a moment and walked back to the sentry box to call Youjia. You Xinnian heard that it was You Randong himself who answered the phone: "Huh? She? What is she doing here? Okay, let her in. ”
The doorman hung up the phone and let You Xinian go, and said kindly: "It's too big inside, Building 8 is far away, I'll send you there." ”
"Okay, thank you."
The doorman drove his electric sightseeing car and walked in with You Xinnian. For You Xinnian, it was only one night, but the scenery in the Emperor Jing has decayed a lot. I don't know if it has something to do with the season, the bare trees and sparse gray-green green belt look like a layer of dust, the street lamps are lonely and silent, and even the villas are old.
You Xinian recognized this doorman, and once lost his temper with him because of the problem of the parking space, but the other party was still very polite and professional, and smiled politely throughout the whole process. Because of the guilt afterwards, You Xinian had some impression of his face.
"Hey, it's been a long time." You Xinnian said to herself in a flirtatious tone, "This villa is really beautiful, after so many years, I don't know how much the eldest lady of the You family has grown up." ”
The doorman looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Miss, are you here to find Miss You?" ”
"Well, what's wrong?"
"I'm sorry to say more, who are you?"
"I'm her cousin."
"Cousin?" The doorman's gaze obviously swept over her, and he stopped the car, "You are her cousin, how can you not know that something happened to her family?" ”
You Xinnian originally wanted to get the words out of the guard's mouth, so he continued to ask: "Something's wrong?" What's going on? ”
"Miss You has been dead for many years."
You Xinnian was stunned: "Dead? ”
The doorman stopped talking to her and got out of the car: "Wait here, I'll let someone from the You family pick you up in person." ”
The doorman was suspicious of her as soon as he saw her dress, claiming to be the cousin of the eldest lady of the You family, but he didn't know that Miss You was dead. If a strange person comes to the door, he won't be able to eat and walk around.
He walked to the side and used the walkie-talkie to find his colleagues in the booth and asked him to help connect Building 8 and ask for clarification.
Hearing the news of his death, You Xinnian stiffened, and almost instinctively took out his mobile phone to search for his name. Her name is special, with a low repetition rate and easy search. She knew that if she did die, there would be news online.
The doorman looked at her as he lowered his voice, and the web page loaded for a while showing the search results:
"Last night, You Xinnian, the director of Lotus Group, died tragically at home, and the murderer set fire to the body, and the scene was extremely tragic. The police said they would go all out to hunt down the killer. 2011-06-08”
You Feng's family of three died tragically at home, and You Feng was buried in the fire with his wife Bai Xi and eldest daughter You Xinnian. 2011-06-08”
……
"There is still no progress in the murder of You Feng, chairman of the Lotus collective, and You Xinnian, a woman, and the police are silent about the case. Is this case an unsolved case? 2011-06-12”
"You's daughter, You Xinnian, is a money-worshipping lesbian? Friends revealed his distorted personality, 'often angry with friends around him, is an out-and-out, arrogant second ancestor'. 2011-06-13”
……
Before You Xinnian could click in to take a closer look, just looking at these news headlines shocked her hands and feet, and she couldn't care about being angry.
I'm already dead? Mom and Dad are dead too? June 8...... It was the day after my birthday, so it was my birthday.
What about Ran Dong and Xiaoxue? Yes, it was Ran Dong who answered the call at the access control just now, he is still alive, what about Xiaoxue?
Turned into an unsolved case? Haven't you caught the murderer yet? Who is the murderer? Who is going to kill us, set fire? The house was burned?
Who is the murderer? Who is it? What happened that night?
Countless questions smashed into her brain like meteorites, and she tried to remember what happened on the night she was killed, but her memory only stayed when she stumbled into the garage, and the next thing that happened was cut off with a knife, crisp and crisp, without a trace of residue.
If she was just a little frightened and panicked when she realized that she had "temporarily" borrowed Wang Fang's body, now she is completely at a loss. Parents, this strongest backing was brutally destroyed and, like the "Lotus" building, disappeared into the most striking position in the city of G. The most important landmark is gone, and she is no longer her.
For the first time in her life, You Xinnian fell into extreme anxiety and confusion.
A car drove slowly from a distance, You Xinnian didn't know what the expression on his face was, and subconsciously slowly raised his head. When she saw the incoming car, her eyes quickly condensed for a moment.
She was familiar with this car, and the license plate could be reversed - this was Lu Man's car.
Lu Man was sitting in the driver's seat, she hadn't changed at all, the same hairstyle and makeup. This is her Lu Man, she is here to declare that this qiē is all fake!
Lu Man glanced at her, retracted his gaze expressionlessly, and gently turned the steering wheel to get past them.
You Xinnian was anxious, and pounced on it with a brisk step, Lu Manmeifeng hurriedly hit the steering wheel and almost hit it.
The moment he saw Lu Man, You Xinnian's tears almost erupted. The first thing she thinks of when something happens is her parents, who are her home and her roots, but when the strong fortress is destroyed and she is unrecognizable, there is still someone in this world who will definitely believe her.
Even if 2016 is true, even if the whole world can't recognize her, she firmly believes that Lu Man will understand. Her temper, her habits, little secrets and little tacit understandings that only lovers understand...... Even if the most ridiculous thing in the world happened to her, Lu Man would believe her. She needs Lu Man!
Lu Man saw an anxious and somewhat hideous stranger through the car glass, and his brows furrowed slightly. This is not the gentleness that You Xinnian is familiar with, and there is obvious alienation and coldness in his eyes.
However, You Xinnian is confident that as long as they are left alone and say a few words, Lu Man will definitely understand her!
"Okay, okay, I got it." The doorman saw the situation here, put down the walkie-talkie and walked over, "Hey, I said, this young lady ......"
You Xinnian was about to open his mouth to Lu Man, when a woman poked her head out of the passenger seat, "What are you doing?" Bumped into it? ”
When he saw the other party's appearance clearly, You Xinnian's smile that had already spread half of it collapsed.
"Didn't hit it." Lu Man knew in his heart, and his eyes moved away from You Xinnian's face again.
"What do you think? How dangerous! Jiang Zhengqing glared at You Xinnian angrily and patted Lu Man's heart, "Didn't scare you, did you?" ”
Lu Man smiled and shook his head, kicked the accelerator, and left.
Lu Man simply left, almost throwing You Xinnian to the ground. She staggered to her feet, her eyes glued to the back of Lu Man's car, and she didn't have the strength to move away.
Suddenly, a picture flashed through my memory.
The weird birthday, a night full of intrigues, Lu Man didn't follow her as usual, she even pulled down her face and got angry.
When he left early, Jiang Zhengqing got into Lu Man's car, and his triumphant smile gradually faded away by the ambiguous darkness in the carriage.
When she is not present, does the intimate girlfriend make an ulterior agreement with the most hated love rival?
She understood how tight the security system of Jun Yue Dijing and her home was, and she couldn't enter it if she wasn't an acquaintance.
An eccentric lover, a smug rival, and a tongue-chewing friend as always.
Relatives who beg for money, who are illegal and small, and twin brothers and sisters who seize the group's resources.
In that missing memory, the night that ended her life, something happened that she didn't know until now.
You Xinnian slammed into the doorman and ran out like crazy.
His legs trembled heavily, and sweat stuck to his hair, blurring his vision.
When her closest lovers become suspects, she knows she can't tell anyone who she is.
Anyone around her could be the real murderer of her and her parents.
