Chapter 005: Discovered
The matter was successfully completed, and Shi Lei was indescribably relaxed.
"Brother, go home or have a drink?" he looked forward to the latter, he hadn't been so relaxed for a long time.
Some time ago, Mo Jingxuan was like a wandering spirit, he was worried that he would take care of him, and he didn't dare to relax at all, finally he cheered up, wouldn't it be right to go and drink two glasses?
"It's not time yet. Mo Jingxuan replied nonchalantly.
"Isn't it time to go home or is it time to have a drink or two?" he didn't know.
"It's not timely. β
Shi Lei didn't understand a little, he hated talking too much, he had no head or tail, and he was bored.
Mo Jingxuan ignored him, and quickly followed in the direction where Xiao Shrimp left.
Shi Lei hurriedly followed, and shouted in confusion: "Alasβalas--, brother, why are you going?"
"Sending her home, of course. He chuckled.
"W--isn't this good?" people obviously refused, and it would scare people to follow them so rashly.
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's so late, how dangerous is it for her to go home alone? β
Shi Lei was right when he thought about it, but he vaguely felt that it was not so simple, he must have some ulterior secrets. But, whatever he does, what his brother does, he never asks why, just follow it.
Instead of taking a bus or other means of transportation, she walked unhurriedly along the sidewalk along the street, and it was clear that this was not the first time she had walked home like this. She turned right after passing the fourth traffic light, continued on, past a fruit shop, then a barbecue bar, then a bubble tea shop, then stopped at a convenience store and walked inside.
Mo Jingxuan and the two quietly stopped on the side, found a hidden corner, and looked in through the glass door. Xiao Shrimp did not shop after entering, but walked up to a clerk who was bending down to tally the goods, and naturally reached out to help.
Although he didn't see clearly who the tally clerk was, but the dress in the black tracksuit and the thin figure, Mo Jingxuan was 100% sure that it was Liluo that night.
He was hesitant to go over to her now to ask her for clarification, but he was afraid that such a reckless appearance would scare them. After thinking about it, he decided to wait and see what happened. This Lilo seemed to know everything about him, and he didn't know anything about her. Now that she is in the light, he is in the dark, so he can probe first.
The person in the convenience store is indeed Liluo, she is on the night shift there, and like Xiao Shrimp, she also works part-time. They are not sisters, but they are closer than sisters.
"Sister, I met two people when I just got off work, they waited for me all night at the door of the store where I worked, one of them was named Mo Jingxuan, and he said that he wanted to see you. Ask when you're free. Xiao Shrimp told her what she had just encountered and handed her the note with her mobile phone number.
Liluo took it silently, stuffed it into his pocket casually, looked calm, and only replied lightly. "Okay, I got it. β
"Who are they, what are you looking for?" asked Shrimp curiously.
"It's none of your business, don't be nosy. She counted her down unceremoniously, but softly.
Xiao Shrimp knew that she shouldn't be troubled, and stuck out her tongue at her coquettishly. My sister has always been confident and strong, alone, doesn't like to take care of people, always keeps a distance from people, even if she encounters any difficulties, she is carried by herself and solved alone. She respects her, loves her, and looks up to her as an example.
"Go back and rest early! The rice cooker is warm with your favorite crab roe buns. β
When Xiao Shrimp heard this, her eyes lit up, a little warmth, and a big satisfaction, "Thank you, sister!"
Liluo watched the shrimp go out and walked into the community next to the convenience store.
The sisters rented a two-bedroom apartment in that neighborhood, some dilapidated staircases, on the seventh floor, simple but cozy, which was their shelter and a haven for tired stays.
Liluo glanced across the road, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, with a smile on his face.
She sensed their presence. From the moment the shrimp entered the door, she sensed it, but pretended to be nothing. She knew who they were and what they came for.
She knows that some things will always come, and she can't hide them if she wants to. Although she wanted to hide it, it was also with good intentions.
She picked up the phone in the store, took out the note that Xiao Shrimp had just given her, and pulled out the mobile phone number.
Mo Jingxuan and the others were hiding in the dark at this time, hesitating whether they would take turns on duty to keep an eye on them, or come back another day. Anyway, they had already found out where they worked, and they also knew where they lived after Xiao Shrimp entered the community. The coming day is long, and some things are not in a hurry.
At this moment, the mobile phone rang suddenly, and in this deserted street, it was very loud, and they were startled at the same time.
Mo Jingxuan hurriedly took out his mobile phone to check, a local unfamiliar number, called from a landline. He pressed the answer button.
"Mo Jingxuan?" a cold voice and a flat tone. "I'm Liluo, come in and talk. After that, he hung up.
Mo Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, they were so cautious, or was they discovered by her, but thinking of her mysterious actions before, he was immediately relieved.
They walked into the convenience store together, Shi Lei was a little nervous in front of her, and Mo Jingxuan was also a little uncomfortable. Instead, Liluo was generous and asked them to sit down in the lounge area near the glass window.
"I'm sorry to bother you so late. Mo Jingxuan spoke first, begging someone to do something, it's always right to be polite.
Liluo was noncommittal.
"Well, I found the safe that my mother left me, thank you. He had a lot of questions, but when he saw her, he didn't know where to start.
"Actually, I want to ask, when did you see my mother, and under what circumstances did she tell you that? My mother, she--is she--" The whole person was thrilled at the mention of his mother.
"Your mother committed suicide. Lilo interrupted him and said calmly. "She was no longer able to do so, so I didn't call the police or inform you to avoid trouble, and your mother didn't allow me to do that. I don't think she wants to get me in trouble either. β
"Did my mother really commit suicide?" he always felt that his mother would not commit suicide, and he always believed that he would not commit suicide.
"Or else?" she asked. The eyes are calm, the tone is firm, and there is no room for refutation.
"The dead are gone, but the living are like us. She actually didn't want to talk much, but for some reason she relented. "Of course, you can continue to track down and continue to struggle, but what can you change? Why not fulfill your mother's wish to live well and let her be at peace in another world. β
Her words silenced him.
"My mother left me a lot of assets and money, and I want to know where she got it from?" he asked. "I know very well what she can do, and it is impossible to earn that much. Can you tell me?"
"Sorry, I don't know. She only had time to tell me that there was a safe, and I had no idea where it was placed or what it contained. β
