Before he finished this action, the back of his neck suddenly hurt, Zhou Huai'an's eyes widened in disbelief for a moment, and then his eyes went completely dark, and the last trace of feeling in his consciousness was a faint smell of cologne.

Lin Ran opened her eyes and stood up against the wall, the flashlight of the person standing at the door had already shone in front of her, shining on her gray coat and her chin that had recently become sharpened. The man then stopped, standing silently.

The person who came was of medium height, dressed in a custom-made suit that didn't look cheap, and there was no shortage of scarf cufflinks, and the faint smell of cologne was particularly evident in this old house full of decay.

He was just watched by Lin Ran steadily, not moving, not speaking, just standing in place, holding a flashlight with a soft white light in his hand.

After a while, Lin Ran finally turned her gaze away, she leaned against the wall, laughed lowly, and then raised her head again, looking at Wu Ziping from a distance: "You got your wish." ”

"Ran." Wu Ziping called her softly, his voice was unexpectedly soft, as if they were still as close as they were many years ago, Lin Ran could joke about him, he was like an elder and indulged, "You seem to have had a hard time these days." ”

Lin Ran sneered: "The greetings will be waived, and I will move my legs and feet, and walk around, I can't compare to your old man's calculations." To say...... I now understand what it means to govern people by those who work hard, and those who work hard govern others. Wu Ziping, compared to you, a few people on my side are simply preparing to participate in the Paralympics. ”

"You remembered, didn't you?"

Lin Ran looked at him and was silent.

Wu Ziping sighed, took a step forward tentatively, and was coldly drunk by Lin Ran: "Stop!" Be honest, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people, I don't want to kill you in a day or two. ”

Wu Ziping smiled helplessly: "If you want to kill me, you won't watch me knock Zhou Huaian unconscious...... Ranran, I grew up watching you. ”

He put his hand into his coat and took out a worn-out notebook, Lin Ran's eyes focused on the notebook, frowning slightly.

Wu Ziping carefully bent down, put the notebook on the ground, and pushed it under Lin Ran's feet with his hand: "I deliberately left this for you when everyone didn't pay attention, plus other people's tips, I think how can you know something, but you didn't notice it." ”

Lin Ran glanced at the textbook under his feet and raised his eyebrows: "As far as I know, as long as you are a normal person, you have the function of speaking." What do you have to say and what you can't say clearly, so do you have to struggle so hard? Wu Ziping, I can't figure it out, why are you tossing back and forth so many people and involving so many people? What are you trying to do? ”

Wu Ziping suddenly had some kind of almost sad look on his face, he looked at Lin Ran deeply for a long time, and then whispered, "The only person I'm sorry for is you...... I didn't expect it, and your father didn't expect it......"

Wu Ziping paused and sighed: "It's been so long, I don't believe you have no thoughts in your heart...... Why don't you take a look at this? Those were his real last words. ”

"You don't have to talk to the dead......"

"Think about it yourself, why does Zhou Xixue keep looking for someone to spy on you, and why does your stepfather keep trying to get out of your mouth?" Wu Ziping stared at Lin Ran deadly, "Moreover, don't you think your own grandfather is also hiding something from you?" ”

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, and her brows furrowed little by little.

Wu Ziping glanced at Zhou Huai'an next to him, the corners of his mouth were picked, as if he wanted to laugh, but he was full of bitterness: "Moreover, if you really don't have any doubts at all, why don't you want him to hear what I told you?" ”

Lin Ran followed his gaze, looked down at Zhou Huai'an who was leaning against the corner of the wall, his head hanging to the side, there was an imperceptible confusion in his eyes, for a while, she slowly bent down and picked up the somewhat worn book, she picked up the flashlight that fell on the side in Zhou Huai'an's hand, raised the book high, and hit it with the strongest light of the flashlight page by page. Looking closely, behind the handwriting, there were some lines and words that loomed, so faint that she never noticed: "What is this?" ”

Wu Ziping handed her a pen and paper: "Your father is very secretive, there are things I have figured out over the years, you can take a look." ”

Lin Ran didn't answer, she carefully flipped through the book left by her father from beginning to end, and then sat in the corner, pulled up the trouser legs of her trousers slightly, put her hands on her knees, and couldn't see any expression on her face buried in the shadows: "No need, you can say it." What's on top of this? ”

"Do you believe that a plan will last for twenty years...... No, more than thirty years? Wu Ziping asked suddenly.

Lin Ran was silent for a while, nodded very slowly, Wu Ziping smiled, and pointed to the notebook in her hand: "I originally wanted to burn this thing, if you didn't get mixed with that kid Mo Zhi - when that person was in the scenery of Yancheng back then, many people had dealings with him in order to climb up, including not only those people you know, but even the Zhou family." ”

"For money and status."

"The Zhou family withdrew early, after all, it was your grandfather who was in charge back then, that old fox looked at people very poisonously, and knew that person was not a good person, but Lin Cheng was different, you know him very well." Wu Ziping paused and continued, "You can do anything for these things, and the involvement is getting deeper and deeper. ”

Lin Ran let out a sneer and commented simply: "Fool." ”

"You've seen it all with your own eyes."

"Of course I did, but I was only a little old at the time...... You don't want me to understand this nonsense when I'm a few years old, do you? ”

"No one knows why that person disappeared when it was so glamorous." Wu Ziping calmly recounted, "That's not the point, the point is this thing that your father left behind - do you know why your father died back then?" ”

I don't know why, Lin Ran's heart suddenly became nervous, she opened her mouth to ask, but found that her voice was extremely dry: "My father...... Why? ”

"Because he knows some things that he shouldn't know, forgive me for not being able to tell you these things, otherwise I'm not sure if you can survive," Wu Ziping said softly, "That person didn't worry about him, so he contacted Lin Cheng instead, and under his brainwashing and temptation, he came and went, and he was poisoned." ”

Lin Ran's face twisted and sneered: "No wonder, no wonder...... My grandfather also said that when he went that morning, he was obviously fine, why did he suddenly get so serious in the afternoon? ”

"You actually guessed it a long time ago," Wu Ziping interrupted her, and turned her head to look at Zhou Huai'an in the corner, "I just don't want to believe it." You had a vague guess a long time ago, but you didn't want to think about it, and even went to a psychiatrist for counseling for this...... Ranran, are you afraid that if you believe this, sooner or later, you will no longer trust anyone because of this, right? ”

Lin Ran was silent.

"Take 10,000 steps back, you have always felt that Zhou Xixue is still a person, and there will always be a little feeling, and you are still her biological daughter, so you will always think about it, right?"

"Yan Qingping and Zhu Weimang, who have a grudge against Zhu Yunxi, were released early, did you help?"

Wu Ziping paused and nodded: "Yes." ”

Lin Ran put her legs down and sat up straight: "I knew it was you, but why, just for a plan that I don't know for?" What does it have to do with me and my brother? ”

A weird smile appeared on Wu Ziping's face, and the indescribable sadness, hatred, and ridicule were mixed together, making his facial features look a little distorted: "Can't you think of it?" Ranran, think about why you're here? When your mother brought you here, what did you find when you first stumbled in? What did someone tell you? He sighed, "Even this protector of yours can sense the logical loopholes before and after things, how can you not be clear?" ”

"What did Zhou Huai'an feel?"

He intuitively sensed the danger and ...... He seemed to know that there might be someone here. Wu Ziping said softly, "The fire burned so vigorously that if someone were in the house, it would burn people to a faceless charcoal, but there was no problem with the books in it - why do you say?" ”

Lin Ran stood up slowly, stared at Zhou Huai'an, then lowered his head, and suddenly smiled, it was the kind of silent and heart-wrenching smile.

Wu Ziping walked over and patted her on the shoulder: "Think about it, with your ingenuity, what else can't you think of?" He looked in Zhou Huai'an's direction and shook his head, "His purpose is not as simple as he said, just for his desires, his selfish desires are very heavy, you ......"

"Shut up."

Wu Ziping sighed, suddenly felt that his eyes were very sore, he turned his head, gasped fiercely, and said in a dumb voice: "I...... I didn't expect this, Ranran, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you. ”
