123 Mysterious Woman
I heard the familiar ringing of my cell phone as I approached the staircase. Li Dongye's face was not very good, and his steps were a little exaggerated.
I had a false alarm in my heart, and I took two steps forward and brought her over: "Where did you run on a winter night?" β
"I'm sorry, I ......" Knowing that I couldn't bear to blame her, Li Dongye first apologized again and again: "My stomach hurts a little, and the upstairs bathroom is full, so I went downstairs." I'm so sorry. β
I don't believe it at all, and the reason why I have entrusted my child to the care of my best sister over and over again is because I believe that she would never be so careless. How can you go to the toilet and leave your child alone on the table?
"Are you alright?" I touched her forehead, and I was in a cold sweat.
"Lan Lan, have you seen Jiang Zuoyi? How is he? Li Dongye pushed my hand down, obviously deliberately changing the topic with me, and forcibly blocked the opportunity for me to continue to ask.
I nodded and said that it was okay, and Zhu Dani was taking care of it.
Li Dongye was gossipy by nature, and now he heard me mention the name of his rival in love, but he didn't hold me up like an electric shock as usual. Instead, a pair of dull and distracted eyes swam and drifted.
I became more and more sure that there must be something on her mind, and she didn't want to confess to me?
There's only one reason for that, and it has to do with me.
I stopped making a sound, and pulled her downstairs with the leaves in my arms. It's already past eight o'clock, and tomorrow is still tomorrow.
Ye Zi fell asleep before she could get home, so I carried her into the back room, changed her clothes and covered the quilt and walked out. I saw Li Dongye still sitting on the sofa as if he had no soul, and the tea in his hand was almost cold and he didn't take a sip.
"Leaves asleep?" When she saw me come out, she raised her eyebrows indifferently, then got up and said that she was going to leave too.
"What's the hurry, there's no one to go back, right? Ye Jinliang said this morning that Chen Feng and the entire financial team are working overtime, and you will accompany me tonight. I pressed Li Dongye's shoulders and felt her body tremble like an electric shock.
"Lan Lan, he ...... That's what I told you about? β
I calculated in my heart that this tone was a big deal. I said Winter Night, what did you see when you were eating with the leaves?
Li Dongye's eyes swam and seemed to have made up his mind: "Lan Lan, I saw Chen Feng and Shu Yan together. β
What the?! I almost jumped up.
Vaguely, I didn't have a hunch. Who else can make Li Dongye so out of control and tight, besides Du Chenfeng?
On the way to the hospital just now, I made a cheating joke with her without a match, but I can't think of a comfortable face even if I borrow my brain!
"Really! I always know Tatsukaze's car. At the convenience store that just stopped at the intersection, the woman in the passenger seat was Shu Yan. Li Dongye's tears fell suddenly: "Lan Lan, I'm really afraid-"
"No, it won't!" I said don't worry about winter nights, there may be a misunderstanding about this. How could Du Chenfeng get together with Shu Yan-
"It's scary because it's impossible to get together!" Li Dongye grabbed my arm and almost grabbed out the tattoo: "Just like when Shu Yan and Ye Jinliang were together, if it was just because of love, desire, hatred or something, it's a big deal, let's turn around!"
But you know better than me, what kind of character is Shu Yan? What the hell is Chen Feng talking and doing with her...... I ......"
I can only comfort Li Dongye, but behind the comfort is a fear that is even more pale and helpless than her.
Du Chenfeng is not only the husband of my best sister, he is also the CFO of my company! It controls all information disclosure of Zhongshan Jianye's finances, both legal and illegal......
I was terrified, afraid that I would not be able to see the position of friend or foe clearly when I turned around, and I was afraid that I would breathe a sigh of relief and face the muzzles of dozens of guns that I didn't know where they came from.
Obviously, Li Dongye's worry is also my worry, and she begged me: "Lan Lan, no matter what the hell is going on, can you ...... it?"
I soothed her and said, I know what you mean. I won't stab your Du Chenfeng with a knife like Jiang Zuoyi.
No matter why he was with Shu Yan, I first had to find a way to investigate the motive and why.
"But before that, you have to promise me one thing on a winter night."
I said you have to calm down first, and don't run to question him.
"But I ......" Li Dongye said that she couldn't do it: "Really Lan Lan, from my second uncle's incident to now, I can't get out of the nightmareββ"
I hugged her shoulders and was ashamed to say that I was the one who dragged you down. If it weren't for the fact that you're my friend, you probably wouldn't have been involved in this mess by my side.
I'm more afraid that you and your husband will once again be used as weapons against me by the enemyβ
Enemy...... Do I have any enemies? Jiang Zuoyi?
Finally coaxed Li Dongye to calm down a little, I asked her to go to my room to sleep first, and then went to the balcony outside alone to make a call.
"Jinliang, well, it's me."
For the first time, Ye Jinliang opened his mouth and asked me how Jiang Zuoyi was doing. This surprised me.
"You're concerned about how he's doing?" I don't mean to be aggressive, but no matter what angle you look at itβ
As long as Ye Jinliang still loves me, it is impossible for him not to look forward to a turnaround.
"Oh, no...... I'm just worried about you. β
I thought to myself, you're really great, and you love the house and the black to the point of breaking your heart for the sake of your rival.
"He was so hurt that he couldn't ask anything. But it doesn't matter, I'll do what I have to do.
ββThere are two weeks left for the second phase of the bidding of the Jiangjing Capital, Jinliang, have we made a final conclusion on the reserve price? "I haven't been in charge of the company for a few days, and since the will was made public, I went down from Zhongshan Jianye. The ensuing chaos broke my plan to vacation peacefully, but the reason why I was in this situation today chased Ye Jinliang to ask about the company.
It's because I believe that to find the motive behind a person's weird behavior, we should first start from the range that he has the most at his fingertips-
"Not yet, the people in the finance department have been preparing for this for the past few days, and Jiang Zuoyi also came to discuss this matter with us yesterday. But Shu Lan, I don't think until the last moment, the more smoke bombs are released, the better. β
I said yes, and I think so. Bidding is a game, our first phase of the pre-sale contract has been obtained 30%, as long as the second phase of the bidding is in the bag, basically no one can regret this victory and consummation.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the interior decoration company that competes in the name of Shuyan is obviously not good.
And today, I can no longer boast that I have Jiang Zuoyi.
Ye Jinliang comforted me and said don't worry, even if Shu Yan has such a sum of money in his hand, he can't compete with us.
I almost laughed, and said Ye Jinliang, you are really strange, why do you seem to be stronger than me and pressed the treasure on Jiang Zuoyi.
You must know that once Jiangyuan Group backs the water, we can't eat and walk away.
"I don't think he will." Ye Jinliang said.
I laughed and said yes? Will you have me to understand Jiang Zuoyi? For the sake of profit and purpose, he dares to kill people and set fires.
"Shu Lan, don't mention him first?" Ye Jinliang said that he had just come back from the company and was still driving. If it's okay, call me when you get home.
"Oh yes, is Tatsukaze in the company? He's working overtime tonight, isn't it, I'm with Winter Night before, she said-"
"Well, Chen Feng is in the company, they may also ...... Let's do data all night, after all, time is running out. β
I didn't speak, I didn't debunk.
So Ye Jinliang's attitude obviously tightened, and he suddenly lowered his voice and asked me, "Shu Lan, have you heard something?" β
I chuckled and said, "No, I just think that the composition of the people around me is so complicated now, and it doesn't hurt to be cautious."
The little aunt will come in a few days, right? Then I'll take a vacation to accompany Ye Zi during this time, you have to worry about the company's affairs.
But all the strategies for bidding and bidding, when I go back, I need to see it in person. β
After hanging up Ye Jinliang's phone, my whole person became more and more uneasy.
may also come from the telepathy of more than 20 years of getting along, and I have two question marks about Ye Jinliang's several performances.
First, Ye Jinliang knew Du Chenfeng's whereabouts and his contact with Shu Yan?
Second, Ye Jinliang's attitude towards Jiang Zuoyi is obviously very strange.
My mind was almost numb, and I couldn't understand the slightest clarity in horizontal and vertical directions.
The worst is that everyone around me is a ghost. And the best plan is that they actually have their own plans to make a good appearance?
Thinking of this, I even psychopathically planned to choose the first view. Can anyone tell me what it took me to become so attached to everything around me?
If Jiang Zuoyi was by my side at this time, what would he do?
He is always like that, and his arrogant aura is always only used to deter. And when you really do things, you will be low-key and secretly let you be impressed again and again invisibly.
Jiang Zuoyi, after all, he still couldn't wait for me, a stupid student, to come out of the school, and only left a teacher-student love that was strangled in the cradle of youth?
I have never had a real campus love, and Jiang Zuoyi has not even lived a real campus life.
One day after we loved, we lay side by side in bed and talked about the rest of our lives. He said that he really wanted to go to school, and at that time I laughed so much that my uterus cramped, and I said that you are an underworld, if you don't cut people and want to go to college, do you still have any heavenly reason.
But he told me he just wanted to be closer to my way of life.
The reason for such hypocrisy is that he can say it, even if the body hugs each other into the most tacit rhythm, no matter how close the distance is, it can't escape the curse of this catastrophe.
I miss him so much, it's too much, and I'm just starting to miss it now......
***
The day before I saw off the leaves, I was like a little madman, and I couldn't wait to move the whole supermarket home.
Whenever Ye Zi likes snacks, I stuff them into her small backpack in the same way.
Ye Jinliang said that if it goes on like this, he will have to weigh it in a small tonnage when he comes back.
"Dad, when Ye Zi is away, you have to be kind to Mom. Otherwise, mom will let Ye Zi call someone else's father! β
After all, her daughter was still close to Ye Jinliang, grabbing his shirt at this time, and her little face was covered with green stubble. But I watched and watched the play, and I hadn't seen Jiang Zuoyi for almost a week......
He didn't call me, not even Andy.
I plucked the leaves from Ye Jinliang's body, and Shen Xinci and his wife were waiting in the living room early.
There was plenty of time for the plane at one o'clock this afternoon, but my mood was like water, and I couldn't bear to let my daughter go out.
Rubbing left and right, I hurried to the airport slowly.
I didn't cry, because I told Ye Zi last night that we can't cry tomorrow. Every tear represents one minute, and one less tear can you see your mother for a minute, okay?
"Mom, Ye Zi is well-behaved, listen to my aunt's words, my mother must be obedient, don't get hurt again, okay?"
Idiot, who said you can't cry. I couldn't help it, so I didn't dare to look up while holding my daughter. The heat of the breath and the tears flowed into the little clothes of the leaves.
"Mom, it's so itchy." Ye Zi giggled, laughed and laughed and suddenly said, "Uncle Jiang!" β
It was as if I had been electrocuted, and I stood up all at once.
"What did you say, leaf?"
The daughter stretched out her hand and pointed to the location of the airport living room: "Uncle Jiang is behind that pillar." β
I looked up, but I didn't see anyone. Only a diagonal shadow made an outline in the backlight.
The face is very sharp and angular, and the height is slightly shorter. Probably because he was standing against a pillar, slightly twisted.
I know that feeling, I can't even straighten my waist for three or two days after the caesarean section, not to mention that Jiang Zuo is so deeply injured.
Hehe, didn't you say that someone would take care of him, Andy and Zhu Danni just let him run out and mess around? Is...... It's not worry-free......
I have the urge to rush over and hug him, but the role of maturity and reason is nothing more than telling us that just like the addiction before drug rehabilitation, we can't collapse and can't give up all our efforts.
So I didn't move.
Ye Zi laughed and said that Uncle Jiang was not shy, he was hiding!
I lifted the back of my hand to wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes, and pulled my daughter to turn around and go to the security checkpoint. I said Yezi, we have already said goodbye to him, let's go, my aunt and mother-in-law have already gone in.
The figure of the daughter turning back three times and finally disappeared with the flow of people. I clutched my elbows and stood in a strong, defensive posture at all times. Ye Jinliang walked up from behind me: "Shu Lan, don't you see him......"
I didn't answer, but I suddenly broke away from Ye Jinliang's position and bumped into it, looking at the place where Ye Zi had just pointed out-
Where else is there any?
Behind the pillar was empty, except for a small piece of very uncivilized cigarette butt lying quietly on the ground.
Smoking is not allowed at the airport, alas, but Jiang Zuoyi is a hooligan.
"He shouldn't have gone far yet, you ......" Ye Jinliang handed me a tissue, probably to wipe my tears. Instead, I bent down to pick up the cigarette butt, wrapped it, and threw it in the trash.
"No, I don't know what to say when I meet some things. He came and went, and whatever he wanted to say, we both knew it. β
I know better than anyone that there is no debt if there is no conspiracy. I and Jiang Zuoyi are nothing more than a sentence of 'I miss you, oh me too'.
On the way back, Ye Jinliang asked me if I knew how long it would take for me to get out of this relationship.
I laughed and said Are you comparing yourself to Jiang Zuoyi? See who I put down first?
"I just think it's gratifying that you're more desperate for him than for me." Ye Jinliang sat in the co-pilot, facing out of the window. To be honest, I don't know when he didn't seem to dare to look me in the eye anymore.
This change is obvious, because first of all, I am a wise woman, and secondly, Ye Jinliang is not good at disguising in front of me.
"If you have something to hide from me, hide it thoroughly, otherwise you won't be able to clear your name if you find out to me." I say.
"Shu Lan, you think too much."
I said I had to think less? In this situation, I don't want to be gnawed to the point of being gnawed sooner.
"Jin Liang, no matter what your reason is, now I am really so full of grass and trees that I can't stand betrayal. Since you choose to still entangle your life and career with me, I hope you can be as open and clear as I am.
What if one day I will be stabbed by me like Jiang Zuoyi...... I'll say hello first, you probably deserve it......"
The car stopped downstairs and I returned to the office building where I had officially stepped back for the first time since I left the company.
After everyone saw me, they would still call Mr. Shu enthusiastically. I smiled and nodded, and didn't argue that I didn't have a title anymore.
"Your office is still there." Ye Jinliang said.
I smiled and said of course, can you still occupy the magpie's nest to this point?
"Mr. Shu is still so aggressive." Hearing a creepy provocation behind me, I felt like a cat that was suddenly on guard with hair. But vigilance and calmness are two senses, turn around, smile, I said Yanyan, it's been a long time.
I said what are you doing again, there is still a week to go is the bidding day, at this time we are in a clear position, you should not be stupid enough to use some means to fight the enemy "inside".
I took the first two steps, and without the interference of long hair, the conversation would appear more in-depth and powerful: "To tell you the truth, Shu Yan, I won't trust anyone now, and I want to win unless I dig out my brain and look at the hole cards." β
"It looks like I've finally pushed you to this level of combat power."
I said, hehe, born in sorrow and died in peace, I should really be grateful for your existence.
"Shu Yan, why can't you die..."
I said Ye Jinliang, you go to the meeting first. I caught up with my sister.
I invited Shu Yan into my office and didn't even pour her a cup of tea. I said I wouldn't put any more life in your hands, you crazy murderer.
When I heard the words murderer, I clearly felt her face under her sunglasses shake slightly.
"What did you say?"
I squinted, leaned against the table, and I said nothing, and bluffed you.
Shu Yan said that she didn't come to argue with me: "Dad's body has been in the police station for many days, when will we send him to be buried?" β
I said, oh, I'm an unfilial girl, I almost forgot about it.
"Our dad's bones were not cold, and you pulled him to cut it horizontally and vertically, and wanted to beat me upside down, but it's a pity that I have the aura of the heroine, hehe.
Shu Yan, who poisoned Dad's death, should we still talk about it openly? β
The compound, which is stored in the air for more than 20 minutes, is the same as the pancreatic drugs that Dad takes between meals a day. The three cakes I brought with me were just a trick for Shu Yan to make a fuss, and the real fatal thing was the time I ran into her alone, and she once reached out to open the cake box.
Then he teased me sourly!
"Do you have proof?" Shu Yan's complexion has changed, but he pretends to be calm.
I said no, the matter was decided. You killed your own father with your own hands, don't tell me that there is no torture in conscience at all.
For me today, I don't need to do it myself anymore to see what happens to you.
"Shu Lan, don't talk big anymore, without Jiang Zuoyi, you wouldn't have the ability to make a move on me.
I advise you to give up the capital of Jiangjing, you can't fight us. β
"You...... Guys? I squinted my eyes and ears, "Who do you mean by "we"?" β
Shu Yan stroked his sunglasses and coughed lightly.
"Anyway, I've brought everything I should have brought today, if you don't want to lose too ugly. Shape up or ship out. β
I said then I put the words here: "I don't have anything to lose now, you want to make a move, I'll follow."
I don't care how you forced Dad to change his will to your name, and I don't really care about the money.
But Jiangjing is the biggest effort I have captured over the years, and only it can save Zhongshan Jianye from innocence.
I'm not going to let you get your way. β
"OK, since you have a plan to break the boat, no matter what happens in the future, just don't cry."
I said thank you for caring so much about me, I wiped your tears when I was a child, you are obedient like a cat every time, in fact, you hate to bite me to death in your bones.
"Don't worry, I will deal with Dad's body and make arrangements, if you are not afraid that he will give you a dream, you can come to Shangzhuxiang."
Before I finished my words, Shu Yan left, I don't know if it was an illusion or what's wrong, I found that Shu Yan's whole aura and attitude when he came to me this time began to be different.
is a little exaggerated, but there is unwillingness and helplessness in the warning.
I grabbed the phone and wanted to call Lin Yuqing, a week has passed, and my side has quickly found out where Gao Shanfeng is located, so there will be no movement on his side!
But before I could dial the phone when I took it out, I saw a scene across the road-
After Shu Yan got out of the gate, he got into a black car, a lengthened and modified Lincoln, and the whole exterior was gloomy, like a coffin that had seen the light of day.
The license plate number is clear, but I think it should be a black plate or a deck, even if you write it down, it's useless.
Shu Yan didn't go up immediately after pulling the car door, as if she was talking to the people in the car, but in less than ten seconds, she suddenly stumbled and fell out. I don't know if I was slapped or kicked.
Later, the car left, leaving her alone on the side of the road like an abandoned child.
In the blink of an eye, I had a gut feeling that the person in the car seemed to be a woman.
And Shu Yan, who has taken off her sunglasses, obviously has a little awe and promise in her eyes, and I have never seen such an expression on her face in the nearly twenty years I have been with her.
I think there is no saddest chess piece than this, looking at the whole picture, knowing when it will be abandoned, but making a stepping stone without regrets.
It's like the moment of sacrifice, with fireworks as evidence, and tears as a memorial, it is enough...
So, the person behind Shu Yan... Who is it?
With a flick of my fingers, I thought about pressing the phone out.
But the person who answered the phone was not Lin Yuqing, but his wife.
She told me that Lin Yuqing was injured, and that a baseball bat had been thrown on her head, and that she had a knife cut seven or eight inches long on her arm.
I don't have many surprises, there is a law that is unwritten - when you start to be threatened, you are starting to get closer to the truth.
At this time, the mobile phone was lightly picked up by Lin Yu, his voice was hoarse, and his state was slightly sluggish.
"Mr. Lin, how are youβ"
"Shu Lan, tonight, you ...... A man came to me. Lin Yuqing said that he was fine, so don't say polite words: "I have something to talk to you about alone." β
I said okay, I'll come alone, and we'll get in touch at that time.
After hanging up the phone, I let out a long breath and was startled by the man standing at the door as soon as I turned around!
