Chapter 19: The Deceased

The night was deep, and the silence was terrible

The light in Ke Dongcai's study should have been extinguished at this time.

But tonight, Ke Dongcai was still in the study, flipping through some things in his hands, as if he was waiting for something.

However, it backfired. Ke Dongcai's state lasted for an hour, but nothing happened.

Ke Dongcai's eyebrows tightened. As usual, in less than half an hour, there should be an echo. And now more than an hour has passed, and even if it fails, there should be an echo.

For some reason, he had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.

After another while, just when Ke Dongcai's patience was about to run out, a waiting voice came from outside the study. Master.

In. Hearing this, Ke Dongcai's heart was a little relieved, but the ominous premonition became more and more intense. Anyway, what's going on?

Master, we underestimated the Leng sisters and brothers. None of the killers who were invited survived, and their bodies were all thrown in Dongyang Lane. Seeing that there was no response for a long time, the subordinates went out to look for it, and found it in Dongyang Lane. The person who came looked grim and bowed.

Syllable! Ke Dongcai was shocked, and subconsciously slapped the table case angrily. It's such a waste, and it can't be solved at all!

It was only an instant, Ke Dongcai calmed down and sat down slowly, his face was cloudy, and his cold eyes were rolling.

Conspiracy!

Kedong Finance can develop the small share of the industry in the past to this day, and his mind will inevitably not be simple. After a little analysis, there is an answer.

He's being taken advantage of! And it's still a junior!

Ke Han, Fourth Uncle, I underestimated you. This trick is beautiful to use to kill people with a knife, but unfortunately, you don't want to take advantage of the fisherman again!

Go, order someone to keep an eye on the Leng sister and brother! By the way, there is also that Cheng Luo, you have to deal with it carefully. No matter how strong the Leng sisters and brothers are, they will not expect tonight's events. It must be that Cheng Luo who is making suggestions in the back. Ke Dongcai commanded in a deep voice.

Yes, sir.

The Leng brothers and sisters should not be underestimated, and when staring, be careful.

Be.

What's going on on over there? A cold light flashed in Ke Dongcai's eyes. was put on the spot, and he was naturally not reconciled.

Master Yu, Ke Han's side was as usual, and there was no change. It's just that recently, there has been a sudden rush of preparations, and it seems that some important person is coming. Moreover, judging from the things that were prepared, the person who came should be very important to him, and the identity of the person who came was afraid that it would be unattainable, and the ** of the ten was from Shengjing.

Sheng Jing? A sneer flashed at the corner of Ke Dongcai's mouth, then it's better, take me to prepare well, and give him a big gift then!

……

The next day, Dongyang Lane

The bodies that had suddenly appeared were found early in the morning. However, there are often ruffians and hooligans fighting here, and there are often casualties. So, it didn't cause much of a stir. As for how the government will investigate, it has little to do with the common people.

At the same time, in He Mansion, in He Tingting's boudoir, someone was plotting something.

Miss, the matter has been completed, and there will be results in the near future. Bai Ling blessed his body, and after finishing speaking, a sinister smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.

Well, the man said yes? The cruelty in He Tingting's eyes was even worse than that of Bailing. Since last night, when she learned that Brother Ke actually came to the door to apologize to the fox, she was ruthless to Cheng Luo. Brother Ke actually took the initiative to apologize to that sassy fox? She deserves it too?! She He Tingting didn't do anything wrong in that incident. No matter who seduces Brother Ke, she will not hesitate to make a move! Brother Ke can only be hers!

I was very happy to agree. Speaking of this, a smug look appeared on Bai Ling's face, that person is a habitual offender, and what he does on weekdays is these frivolous women who commit adultery with others. Now, a woman took the initiative to come to the door, and he couldn't be happy, not to mention, he still had money to take.

That's good. He Tingting nodded, but the three servants under the Nasao fox were not simple. Is that man sure?

Miss rest assured. This is what the man did most often, and God did not know it. Mo said that it was the three sisters and brothers, even if there were three more sisters, I am afraid it would not matter. Bai Ling said confidently.

Okay, then we'll wait for the good news to come to you. He Tingting hooked her lips and sneered, remember, when the time comes, she will spread this matter as soon as possible, Miss Ben will let that sassy fox be ruined, and she will no longer have the face to seduce Brother Ke! Also, at the same time, the government was notified and the man was taken with him. The dead are the safest.

Be.

……

At night, the wind rises

It seems that due to the recent warming, the wind blew on the face, and no one asked people to tighten their clothes, but there was a trace of warmth on the face.

In the shadows where the moonlight does not shine.

Aunt An, what are you looking for me? Tonight's trip made Ke Han a little strange. In the years he has dealt with Aunt An, the other party rarely takes the initiative to find him. Even if I look for him, it's because there is something extremely serious. However, nothing major has happened in recent days, and he has not done anything else. Aunt An is looking for him, what is the matter?

Young Master Ke, more is better than less. Miss Cheng came to Los Angeles, maybe she has something to do, and she has no ill will towards you and me. Although Aunt An looks like a lady on the surface, she is just a lady in the market. But that's not the case, He Tingting led people to break in and Ke Han came to apologize, and even the assassination of the killer, she saw it in her eyes. Although Cheng Luo suddenly appeared and lived next to her, he must have a plan, and his direction also faintly pointed to her and Ke Han, but she could feel that Cheng Luo had no murderous intentions towards her and Ke Han, not even malicious intentions, but was just investigating for something. Of course, she didn't know what this matter was, and she wouldn't think about it. Over the years, she has become more accustomed to her current life, she doesn't want to cause trouble, she just wants to live the rest of her life in peace.

Well? Ke Han was a little surprised by what Aunt An said, and said: Aunt An should not forget, you and I are in the same boat. That Cheng Luo suddenly appeared, where he didn't live, he became your neighbor, and he often came to Moyang Tower, the reason for this, I believe I don't need to say it.

Of course I know. Miss Cheng has been around for a year, and I don't talk to her much, but with my experience, I can conclude that Miss Cheng is by no means a villain. If nothing happens to her, she will definitely not be angry with you. Moreover, this matter is related to the Leng family sisters and brothers, and Miss Cheng is an outsider. Aunt An can see clearly that what has happened in the past few days is that others have taken the initiative to come to the door, and Cheng Luo is just passively responding.

What if I provoke her? Ke Han asked rhetorically without moving. The robbed dart was very important to him. For a year, he pursued the matter all the time, but to no avail. Now, it seems that he can find suspicious clues from Cheng Luo's body, how can he give up lightly? What if you offend a Cheng Luo? In L.A., he doesn't care about any of that yet. Using Cheng Luo and Leng Chun to lure out the fourth uncle is the simplest and most effective method.

Aunt An was stunned when she heard this, and immediately remembered Ke Han's status in Los Angeles, and sighed lightly: My behavior is not ordinary people. Although Luocheng is high and the emperor is far away, it is the place where the Son of Heaven belongs after all. Ke Gongzi should not be too proud.

Too arrogant? Ke Han was disdainful. His Ke family will not be limited to just Los Angeles, Sheng Jing is his goal. So, what if Cheng Luo is not an ordinary person? When he entered Shengjing, even Cheng Luo's family had to look at his face.

There is no need to say any more about this. I'm free to measure. Ke Han said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Aunt An sighed in her heart, knowing that it was useless to say more, so she stopped talking. It's just that she seems to need something to prepare for the future.

……

Just after dinner, the sky has not yet darkened, and it is the most beautiful time for dusk.

Cheng Luo and Leng Chun, sister and brother, were eating snacks in the courtyard while enjoying the scenery and chatting.

But after a while, there was a knock on the door.

After Leng An went to open the door, he saw that the person who came was Zhong Qingxiang.

Is Miss Cheng there? Zhong Qingxiang held something in his hand, hesitated, and finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door, but when he saw the expressionless cold shore who opened the door, he was nervous. In fact, Miss Cheng is very gentle to people.

At. Leng An nodded, then turned sideways.

Zhong Qingxiang saw Cheng Luo, smiled shyly, and then walked over and sent the string of bacon in his hand, this is the bacon that my mother just made, and my mother asked me to send it to Miss Cheng.

Leng Chun came over and took the bacon, and immediately smiled and said to Zhong Qingxiang: It's so fragrant, Aunt An's craftsmanship is good.

Cheng Luo stood up, came to Zhong Qingxiang's slowness, and said with a smile: Thank you, Aunt An.

Miss Cheng doesn't have to be polite. Zhong Qingxiang scratched the top of his head, his face flushed, he didn't know how to face Cheng Luo, as long as he saw Cheng Luo, he couldn't control his blush and heartbeat. However, he understands better than anyone that he is not worthy of Miss Cheng at all.

Brother Qingxiang tasted this dim sum, it was very delicious. Leng Die came over with a snack and motioned for Zhong Qingxiang to taste it.

Zhong Qingxiang was cramped, and when he didn't know what to do next, fortunately Leng Die was relieved, he immediately picked up a piece of dim sum, swallowed it, and swallowed it, only a faint sweetness in his mouth, and he didn't taste anything at all. But he still nodded vigorously, it was very delicious! Thank you.

Seeing Zhong Qingxiang swallowing the dim sum in one bite, and then calling it delicious, Leng Die couldn't help laughing: Brother Qingxiang, have you tasted what this taste is?

Zhong Qingxiang's face turned red again, and after he glanced at Cheng Luo, he scratched his head and smirked: I didn't taste it.

Do you want to eat another piece? Leng Die asked.

Zhong Qingxiang hurriedly shook his head, I have to go back to sweep the yard, so I will leave first.

Wait a minute. Cheng Luo stopped Zhong Qingxiang, who was leaving anxiously, and then instructed Leng Chun: There are still two roast ducks in the kitchen, bring them to Qingxiang. It takes a lot of meat to make bacon, and the price of Los Angeles pork is not cheap, Aunt An should have noticed it, and she couldn't help it.

When Zhong Qingxiang heard this, he immediately waved his hand, no need, we have already had dinner.

Save it for tomorrow, I remember your favorite roast duck. Cheng Luo replied with a faint smile.

Zhong Qingxiang was about to nod and say that he liked to eat roast duck the most, but as soon as he was about to nod, he immediately shook his head.

If our young lady asks you to take it, you will take it, and if you don't take it back, you will definitely drool tonight. Leng Die teased.

After Zhong Qingxiang took the roast duck from Leng Chun's hand, he ran away.

Seeing Zhong Qingxiang disappear from front of his eyes as soon as he slipped away, Leng Die sneered, what was he afraid of?

Leng Chun looked at Cheng Luo, Zhong Qingxiang was honest and loyal, and many people were afraid that many people had already seen his thoughts. It's just that Miss won't stay in Los Angeles for a long time in the future, and more importantly, Miss doesn't seem to have any intention of being in love with men and women. In the past year, there have been many men who have confessed their hearts to Miss in Los Angeles, but Miss has never been moved by anyone.

In fact, they don't know who the young lady is or where she comes from.

When Leng An was about to close the courtyard door, Cheng Luo saw Aunt An in front of the door, her mind moved slightly, and she stepped forward, Aunt An is in trouble?

Aunt An has actually been outside the gate of the courtyard, waiting for Zhong Qingxiang to return home before she appears. In the past few days, she has always been uneasy, and after some thought, she decided to talk to Cheng Luo. She nodded: I'm going to delay Miss Cheng for some time.

Aunt An doesn't need to be polite, come in, let's go into the house and talk. Cheng Luowen replied. I want to come to Aunt An to see her, Aunt An can endure for so many days, I'm afraid it will be difficult every day. Speaking of which, she is somewhat similar to Aunt An in some places, they both want to have a simple and free life, and there will be no more deceitful in life.

After arriving at the room, Aunt An sat down.

Let's have a cup of tea first, it has just been brewed and tastes good. Cheng Luo said softly.

Aunt An nodded, took a sip, raised her head to look at Cheng Luo, and said straight to the point: I know who Sister Leng Chun is and why they are in Los Angeles, but I don't know who Miss Cheng is. It doesn't matter, though. The important thing is that I can see that Miss Cheng is a good person, so it doesn't matter who Miss Cheng is.

Aunt An lowered her head again and continued: The death of Leng Chun's parents and brothers has nothing to do with Young Master Ke, it is someone else.

I know. Cheng Luo replied with a light smile.

Aunt An raised her head again, looked directly at Cheng Luo, looked at Cheng Luo's smiling and gentle face, she sighed softly, Miss Cheng is a smart person, since you became my neighbor, I am afraid that I know my connection with the Ke family. Since I came to see Miss Cheng, I am ready to tell this matter as it is.

Cheng Luo was silent.

After taking a deep breath, Aunt An said slowly: Twenty years ago, I was a killer and worked hard for a killer organization. Later, don't send to assassinate Master Ke, Master Ke has a master around to protect me, so I naturally failed to assassinate him. However, Master Ke did not embarrass me, and also saved me and helped me get out of control, which was my dream wish. Master Ke has been kind all his life, and he has never asked for repayment after saving me. Later, I stayed in L.A. and got married. Of course, I stayed in Los Angeles because it was the equivalent of my rebirth. The second reason is that as long as I am in Los Angeles, as long as Master Ke has a place where I am needed, I can help me with all my might.

So Ke Han received something important in your name, and you didn't hesitate to respond? But you didn't expect that the thing was robbed, and the parents of the Leng Chun siblings were also affected. The death of the Leng family's parents was indeed not done by Ke Han, but it did have something to do with Ke Han. Aunt An can say bluntly, the real purpose of coming to see me. After Cheng Luo listened to Aunt An's statement, he immediately said in a deep voice.

Yes, the real purpose of my visit to Miss Cheng is not to tell about my past. I must have guessed my past, Miss Cheng must have guessed it a long time ago. When I see Miss Cheng's purpose today, I hope that Miss Cheng can move out of here. Now that Miss Cheng and Sister Leng Chun must have known who the real murderer was, it would be useless to stay here, wouldn't it? Aunt An took a deep breath again, clasped her hands tightly together, and when the words fell, she looked at Cheng Luo, whose expression had not changed in the slightest, and became even more nervous.

Cheng Luo's eyes were like an abyss, quietly staring at Aunt An for a while, and smiled faintly, what is Aunt An afraid of?

I...... Aunt An bit her lip, and replied after half a ring: Qingxiang, that kid is a dead eye, and once he recognizes it, he won't give up lightly. In the past year, he only has Miss Cheng in his eyes, I know that it is all Qingxiang alone, and he has reached the age of marrying a wife, if he continues, I am afraid it will be difficult to settle on the family. Miss Cheng, this is my unreasonable request. I don't force Miss Cheng to move out. Can ......

But as long as I'm here, you can't settle down? You are more afraid that something unforeseen will happen next, your past will be known, and you don't want to change your current situation. Cheng Luo said in a deep voice.

Aunt An immediately lowered her head and did not respond.

No response is the answer.

Cheng Luo put down the teacup, no longer looked at Aunt An, and said softly: It's not early, Aunt An should go back.

Aunt An immediately looked at Cheng Luo, Miss Cheng, I ......

Over the past year, Aunt An has taken good care of me, and since Aunt An has opened her mouth, I naturally will not refuse. However, from now on, no matter what happens, Aunt An will no longer have the right to speak to me. Cheng Luo lowered his eyes and replied slowly.

Aunt An's face changed slightly, gritted her teeth, and nodded, thank you Miss Cheng.

The words fell, and she hurried away.

After Aunt An left, Leng Chun walked in.

Aunt An rushed away in such a hurry, and her expression was wrong. Did she say something that was unpleasant to Miss? Leng Chun asked worriedly.

Hearing this, Cheng Luo glanced at the room where he had lived for a year, and replied with a light smile: Let's go see the house tomorrow, let's move out in the next two days.

What the? Leng Chun's eyes widened, very surprised, didn't Miss say two days ago that she didn't have to move? Why did Miss Ann move after she came? Was it Aunt Ann who asked us to move? Why did she let us move?! What little bit of thought did she think others couldn't understand?

Leng Chun was extremely excited, after learning that Aunt An had something to do with her father's death, she was actually somewhat estranged from Aunt An, so she was very angry when she learned that Aunt An came to see Miss and made such an unbelievable request!

She did, but I'm waiting for her to speak. I had the intention of moving out. Cheng Luo half-closed his eyes and replied in a low voice.

Leng Chun was surprised, what does Miss mean?

You'll find out later. Cheng Luo replied. She lowered her eyes, and a trace of disgust crossed the depths of her eyes, it was disgust with herself, some things were really with her, even if she liked a simple and free life. But as long as you think about it, you will maximize your interests uncontrollably. She has been waiting for Aunt An to appear for the past few days.

For yes.

Aunt An will feel guilty because of this.

This guilt may be useful one day.

……

Day 2.

Leng Chun and Leng Die went out early in the morning to find a house, and since they were going to move out, they would completely move out of this neighborhood.

It's not hard to find a house in Los Angeles, but it's a bit difficult to find the one you like.

Leng Chun knows what kind of yard Cheng Luo likes, the yard doesn't need to be big, but it must be neat and tidy.

So it took the whole morning and after looking at several places, I finally chose two places, the two places are very close, and I am waiting for Cheng Luo to finally decide.

After coming out of the first courtyard, they walked towards the second courtyard.

Is the young lady satisfied with this yard? Leng Chun asked.

Cheng Luo smiled and nodded: The place where you are looking for is naturally excellent.

Miss will go and see the next one, and the next one will definitely make Miss like it. I especially like that yard, there are a lot of flowers in the yard! Leng Die pointed to the courtyard not far in front of her and said excitedly to Cheng Luo.

Cheng Luo nodded, okay.

Behind the three, two people walked. One master and one servant.

The woman had already stared at Cheng Luo's back for a while, frowned, and kept saying: Impossible, am I wrong?

Miss, what's wrong? Nian Qiu saw that Meng Jiaru had lost her mind for a long time, and was still talking to herself, so she asked worriedly.

Meng Jiaru pointed to Cheng Luo, who had gradually walked away in front of her, and asked, "Nianqiu, do you think that woman is a little familiar?"

Nian Qiu looked in the direction Meng Jiaru pointed, she shook her head, the slave maid never remembered the posture and appearance of people, unless she was particularly familiar with someone. Does the young lady know the woman? Could it be that there are people we know well in Los Angeles?

I should be considered an acquaintance, and if it weren't for her, I would never have ended up where I am today. But isn't she dead? Did I read it wrong? No, I'm going to take a closer look! Nianqiu, let's go faster and catch up with her. Meng Jiaru's doubts deepened, knowing that Su Mo was dead, but she still didn't give up.
