The place to eat breakfast is the bun shop across the street from the shantytown.

The city government's demolition and reconstruction scope is very large, and the area where this steamed bun shop is located is also included, and the big word "demolition" written in red paint on the wall is extremely eye-catching, which contrasts with the red cloth banner hung by the shopkeeper who "sticks to the last shift and rewards new and old customers for three days at half price".

There are many diners in the bun shop at this time, and most of the chats are about how much compensation they have received, or where to buy their new home, and the house is full of laughter.

Since the two of them entered the house, Qing Che has always been a little absent-minded, with a hint of imperceptible gloom in his seemingly ordinary expression, and he often wanders from time to time when eating.

Li Mengnan knew that she was on the threshold of uncertainty about her future, and she was already cautiously living in the shadow of domestic violence, and the sudden changes in her surroundings would only exacerbate her inner panic.

"Haven't you been in touch with your dad yet?" Li Mengnan coughed lightly, interrupting Qing Che's thoughts.

"No...... But this is a very normal situation, every time my dad goes south to find my mom, he will turn off his phone and not contact anyone, and when he runs out of money, he will naturally come back. ”

Qing Che lowered her head and sighed softly, she had long been accustomed to this kind of day when she was alone every once in a while.

"What are you going to do in the future? Are you still living like your dad forever? ”

Qing Pei has no skills, he has always relied on odd jobs to make a living, and he has a bad habit of drinking, and his family's economic situation has always been in a strict deficit state, if Qing Che continues to follow him, it is very likely that he will face the danger of dropping out of school after graduating from junior high school.

Qing Che also knew what Li Mengnan was referring to, so he was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "This is probably fate......

Li Mengnan has always pitied Qingche, a hard-working girl, and even once wanted her mother Xiao Hui to adopt Qingche as an adopted daughter, but Qingche's parents were only divorced and not dead, even if the HX Research Institute had certain privileges, it was impossible to forcibly deprive Qingche of custody from the hands of the first guardian such as the other party's parents.

"Or ...... Go find your mother. ”

Perhaps this is the only way to get Qing Che out of the sea of suffering at this moment, even if he does not use the power of the HX Research Institute, with the current relationship between Li Mengnan and the police station, it is not difficult to find the current address of Qing Che's mother through the Guò household registration system.

"I ...... I do not know. ”

Qing Che's heart was very confused, she also knew that Li Mengnan's mention was completely for her good, and the choice at this moment was likely to affect her fate in the future, but she still couldn't make up her mind.

Her father's violence did make her frightened all day, but after so many years, she had long been accustomed to such days, and at this moment she was suddenly asked to go to a strange city with her mother, who had almost no impression, to live with some so-called family members who were not related by blood, and she could not imagine what kind of life would await her.

And crucially, there is also her most unforgettable first love, the first man she experienced in her life - Li Mengnan.

"There's no hurry, I'll help you check your mother's situation first, and then you can make a decision."

Li Mengnan doesn't have to choose Qingche to live with his mother, after all, after many years, any situation can happen, maybe her mother's recent situation is not as good as her father's, and a hasty decision may harm Qingche.

Qing Che reluctantly smiled lightly, and changed the topic: "Don't talk about me...... Monango, how are you doing with the armed police officer? Are there any further developments? ”

"That's it...... She works every day, I go to class every day, I finally come out to meet on weekends, and dating is like rushing to the scene, how much development can I have? ”

Speaking of this, Li Mengnan is also a little helpless, in fact, time is still secondary, the key is that it is really difficult for him and Wu Ansu to find any common language, often he chats Wu Ansu can't understand, Wu Ansu can't understand what he talks about, it's just like two creatures of different dimensions are forcibly pinched together.

Li Mengnan even felt that the relationship between the two was not as comfortable and natural as when they were not familiar with each other, and sure enough, some people are only suitable for being friends and not for lovers.

"Actually, the armed police officer is very good, and I can see that she likes you very much, maybe she is not very good at expressing it......"

In the end, it is a bystander, although Qing Che has never been in love, but he can see Wu Ansu's character quite accurately.

"I know that, too...... Alas, no more, eat. ”

What Li Mengnan is most entangled with now is the strange relationship with Wu Ansu, which is stuck between friends and lovers.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

As soon as Wu Ansu was mentioned here, the mobile phone began to call in Li Mengnan's pocket, and the caller ID was Wu Ansu himself.

"Hey, Susu, what's the matter?"

"Huh? Monnan, you're not in school? ”

may be due to professional reasons, Wu An has an unknown stunt, that is, he can roughly hear the other party's location from the ambient background sound of the phone, but he is not intentionally checking Li Mengnan's whereabouts.

"Oh, I took a leave of absence from the department this morning, and I'm out for breakfast now." Li Mengnan didn't mention helping Qing Che move, it wasn't that he deliberately concealed it, but he knew that Wu Ansu would definitely not be interested in this kind of thing.

"If you have time, you'd better call your aunt and them to the police station today—the murderer of Mitong has found them."

The murderer has been found?!

This is big news, Li Mengnan hurriedly put down half of the breakfast leftovers, called his mother Xiao Hui, and asked her to contact Minnie Mouse and Xiao Bao'er, who were still at school.

Qing Che also took advantage of this time to run outside to help park a taxi and accompany Li Mengnan to the police station.

Accidentally encountered a traffic jam caused by a car accident on the way, Li Mengnan was delayed on the road for an hour, and when he arrived at the police station, Xiao Hui's mother and daughter had already arrived for a long time.

"Mom, you guys came fast enough, did you see Su Su? Who exactly is the murderer? ”

Li Mengnan just ran to Xiao Hui's side to ask, and Minnie, who had been sitting silently on the bench next to her, suddenly got up and walked in front of Qing Che, and raised her hand without warning to slap her hard.

"Sister Minnie, ...... you?" Qing Che covered his face and looked at Minnie in front of him in a daze, obviously stunned by this slap.

"What else are you doing here? Get out of here! ”

Minnie Mouse shouted hysterically, raised her hand and pulled it into Qingche's face again, but this time Li Mengnan grabbed her wrist first.

Li Mengnan thought that Minnie was too sad and lost her mind, and yelled loudly trying to wake her up: "Minnie, are you crazy? You can see clearly, she is Qingche! ”

"You don't need to remind you! I know who she is! I'm hitting her! Minnie struggled desperately to break free, her cape scattered like madness.

Xiao Hui also reacted at this time, hurriedly stepped forward to pull Minnie Mouse away, and kept signaling Li Mengnan to take Qingche to go first.

Although Li Mengnan didn't know the reason, he could also see that Minnie's out-of-control behavior at the moment must have some special relationship with Qingche, and letting Qingche stay here would only further stimulate Minnie's feelings, so he escorted Qingche out of the corridor on this floor, out of Minnie's line of sight.

"Bao'er, what's going on with your sister?"

Comforting Qing Che and sitting down on the bench in the corridor, Li Mengnan turned to Xiao Bao'er who came with him and asked with a puzzled face.

Xiao Bao'er clasped her arms and bit her lip several times, and suddenly sighed heavily, "The murderer who killed that man...... It's Qingche's father Qingpei. ”

"What? This...... How is this possible? How could my dad kill someone? Qing Che subconsciously stood up, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Nothing impossible, the police have already caught someone, and he has confessed to the killing."

In fact, Xiao Baoer didn't want to believe it, after all, Qing Che was her best friend and best friend since she was a child, but the police had sufficient evidence to prove that this was the truth, and Qing Pei was the murderer of her father Mi Tong.

"Because...... That demolition money? ”

Li Mengnan suddenly realized that Qing Pei did have the possibility of killing Mi Tong, that is, the motive for the crime.

"Yes, but for some reason, the other party basically didn't move much of that money, and the police have basically recovered all of it."

Qing Che suddenly felt dizzy in front of him, took two steps back and sat on the chair, almost completely losing the ability to think.

She never imagined that her father would one day become a murderer, and the person he killed was still the father of her best friend!

Xiao Bao'er walked up to Qing Che and slowly squatted down, putting her hands on her knees, the expression on her face was extremely complicated.

Although she always coldly refers to Mitong as "that man", no matter what she calls him, it can't change the fact that "that man" is her father.

She also knew that this matter had nothing to do with Qing Che, and it could even be said that Qing Che was also one of the victims, but just like she couldn't change the blood connection with Mi Tong, in the end, Qing Che was still the daughter of the enemy who killed her father after all, even if she didn't hate Qing Che in her heart, but from today on, it would be difficult for the relationship between the two to return to the same intimacy as before.

"Qingqing, there are some things that can never be changed when they happen, you should understand...... I'm sorry. ”

After that, Xiao Bao'er finally hugged Qing Che gently, got up and left silently.

……

From the police station to the apartment, Qing Che didn't say a word, his eyes were so empty that his soul seemed to be drained.

Li Mengnan tried to communicate with her, but was unsuccessful.

In order to prevent Qingche from wanting to have an accident, Li Mengnan could only stay in the apartment temporarily to take care of her.

"Monnango...... That's my life, right? ”

After sitting motionless like a statue facing the window for nearly twelve hours, Qing Che finally turned his head and spoke.
