Chapter 111, a coincidence of fate
Ding Xiu took Song Xijun and Shen You back to the car outside, and before leaving, he also set a fire in the villa, the purpose was to destroy the corpse.
The people in the villa are all dead, Ding Xiu didn't leave a single person alive, this is Nangang, he doesn't want to make trouble for himself and his companions.
It was late at night when he returned to the hotel, and Gu Beimo had been waiting in the lobby. Seeing that Ding Xiu and the three of them came back safely, he breathed a sigh of relief and greeted everyone.
"Are you alright? What's going on? Gu Beimo asked.
"It's Fan Jian." Ding Xiu said and motioned for him to go upstairs first.
"Cheap? Oh......" Gu Beimo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this name belonged to the man he met on the beach during the day.
The four of them took the elevator back upstairs, and the front desk in the lobby got the instructions of the boss Xiao Jinteng and immediately called him.
On the way back to the room, Gu Beimo finally knew the cause of today's incident, and with a look of indignation, he greeted the eighteenth generation of Fan Jian's entire family.
"Lao Tzu wants to kill his whole family!" Gu Beimo was still angry after scolding, what happened tonight made him really angry.
"That's the end of it." Song Xijun persuaded, "The person who did evil is Fan Jian, he is dead, if we are to connect his family, what is the difference between it and the wicked." β
"He's just a jerk, so I don't think his family could be any better?" Shen You pursed his lips, very disdainful of Fan Jian's character.
"Xijun is right." Ding Xiu thought for a while and said, "Fan Jian dared to kidnap the two of you on Nangang Street, which shows that his family should have some power here." We are not targeting his family, not that we are afraid of them, but that Lao Gu still has things to do next, and if there are extraneous branches, I am afraid that it will delay the right thing. β
"Okay, let's get down to business." Shen You nodded, but he was still a little haunted by Fan Jian's slap and a bottle in his heart.
Everyone went upstairs and returned to their respective rooms to prepare for a wash and rest. Shen You was lying on the bed tossing and turning, a little difficult to sleep, and suddenly heard a knock at the door.
She put on her clothes and went to open the door, and found that the person standing at the door was not Ding Xiu and them, but another familiar face.
"How are you?" Shen You was stunned.
"Ah, what a coincidence, it turns out that you live in this room!" Cao Yi laughed, pretending to be surprised.
"Why are you here?" Shen You asked him, and when she saw this Xiao Cao always appear at the door of her room, her first reaction was curiosity.
"I happened to live in the room next door to you, no, my hair dryer over there is broken, and I want to come and borrow a hair dryer to dry my hair." Cao Yi had long been preparing to wait in the hotel, and when Ding Xiu and the others just came back, he got the news from the hotel owner Xiao Jinteng, so he drove over overnight.
The broken hair dryer was fake, and Cao Yi's purpose was to pretend to be close to Shen You by coincidence.
"Come in, I'll bring it to you." Shen You didn't know that even if this thing was really broken, he would go to the hotel staff to get it, and it was impossible to say that he was going to borrow it from other guests. She didn't have a bad impression of Cao Yi, so she agreed to lend him the hair dryer in her room.
Cao Yi put a lot of thought into getting close to Shen You, and even the water on his hair was seriously drenched just now. When he entered Shen You's room, his mood suddenly became a little excited, and he was a little nervous inexplicably.
"Here you go." Shen You took the hair dryer and handed it to him, "Just blow it here, I'm afraid you will take it and forget to return it." β
"Okay, okay." Cao Yi couldn't ask for it, he was just thinking about borrowing a hair dryer, what reason to stay here for a while.
"What's wrong with your face?" He was overjoyed in his heart, and suddenly saw that Shen You's side face seemed to be a little red and swollen.
"Nothing." Shen You didn't want to mention today's incident, after all, being beaten was not a good thing, and it was impossible for Ding Xiu to tell others about killing people in the villa.
"Did someone bully you?" Cao Yi asked cautiously.
"Who dares to bully me?" Shen You avoided his question and made an excuse, "I accidentally bumped into it when I went out by myself." β
"Well, be careful when you walk." Cao Yi nodded.
He used a hair dryer to blow his hair, his movements were slow, and he pulled Shen You to chat without words.
Shen You didn't have any scheming, and he was unconsciously tricked out by Cao Yi with a lot of details.
"Are you an orphan?" Knowing Shen You's life experience, Cao Yi was a little surprised and a little clear in his heart. From the first time he saw this girl on the beach, he felt a familiar temperament from her.
That kind of temperament is very similar to Cao Yi's mother Ji Yang. And coincidentally, Ji Yang also lost his parents at a very young age.
When Ji Yang was born, his mother died in the delivery room because of "Haipu syndrome". This disease causes the body's blood pressure to rise and the blood platelets are low, and if a pregnant woman suffers from this disease, she will definitely die during childbirth.
However, Cao Yi's grandmother was still in difficult childbirth at the time, so between protecting the adult and protecting the child, his grandmother chose to sacrifice herself to protect his mother.
Cao Yi's grandmother died of dystocia, and his grandfather died of depression within a few years.
Cao Yi's grandfather and grandfather are friends of life and death, and the two got married before they had children. So after Cao Yi's mother's parents passed away, the elders of the Cao family raised her as their own daughter, and later Ji Yang married Cao Yi's father, and then he was born.
"I'm not mistaken, she even has a similar experience to her mother." Cao Yi thought in his heart, quite emotional.
Cao Yi also told Shen You about some things in his family, including the hardships of his father's entrepreneurship and his mother's life experience. Shen You was fascinated by it unconsciously, she never thought that the past of the rich family also had many ups and downs.
"The rich don't start out rich, they are either industrious or lucky enough to take the right opportunity to move themselves up to a higher class." Cao Yi is different from Fan Jian, thanks to their family's tradition and family education, so he has always maintained a normal heart for his identity and status today.
Almost no one in the whole of Nangang knows that Cao Shengli, the head of the Cao family, was once a migrant worker on a construction site, and how many catastrophes and disasters he had experienced in that era when human life was inferior to dogs a few decades ago.
The zombie virus and nuclear war that have swept the world...... It is not easy for people who have survived from the previous era.
"More than ten years ago, our family was still in Brilliant City, and it was only later that we moved to Nangang." Cao Yi continued.
"Ah, your family used to be in Brilliant City?" On this night of chatting with Cao Yi, it was not the first time that Shen You was surprised, she smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I will go to Brilliant City in a few days." β
"Really?" Cao Yi was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing there?" β
"My companions are going there, so I'm with them."
"That's right." Cao Yi nodded, and the loneliness that suddenly appeared in his eyes flashed, "Brilliant City...... It's big, it's beautiful, and there's still memories of my childhood. β
"I'm also curious, why did your family move from Brilliant City to Nangang?" Shen You asked suddenly.
"There is a family business relationship, but the main thing is that my grandfather and grandmother like the sea, and the place where they once met is the same as Nangang, which is also a coastal city." Cao Yi's hair had already dried, and the hair dryer was on the side, but the two were too engaged in chatting to notice it.
He continued, "My grandparents are getting older, and the marine climate is good for them to recuperate. This place in Nangang is very good to be honest. If you have time, I hope you can stay here longer. β
"I want to too, but Ding Xiu still has to go to Brilliant City to find his friend." Shen You was a little moved by what Cao Yi said.
"Don't worry, you can come back after visiting friends." Cao Yi said this, glancing at the clock on the wall, "It's not early, you rest early." β
"Ah, it's early morning." Shen You realized that the time had come to the next day.
She was too fascinated by listening to Cao Yi's previous stories, although she was still a little unsatisfied, but it was really not early, so she could only say regretfully, "Okay, good night." β
"Good night." Cao Yi smiled at her and walked towards the door.
"Mr. Cao, ......," Shen You suddenly called out to him again.
"You can call me Cao Yi."
"Cao Yi." Shen You paused and said to him, "It's a pleasure to chat with you." β
"Me too." Cao Yi's gentlemanly smile disappeared behind the door. He helped Shen You close the door, and he could no longer hold back the excitement and joy in his heart.
βyes!yas!yasοΌβ This Xiao Cao always clenched his right hand into a fist and bent it to his chest a few times, and his excitement was overflowing. When he stopped, he suddenly noticed a nighttime janitor in the hallway looking at him dumbfounded.
"Ahem...... cough ......" Realizing that he had a gaffe just now, Cao Yi hurriedly straightened his posture and said with a straight face, "What did you see just now?" β
"I didn't see anything." The cleaning staff came back to their senses and quickly shook their heads.
"Good, you're smart." Cao Yi said with satisfaction, "What's your name, I'll ask Xiao Jinteng to give you a raise tomorrow." β
After sending away the ecstatic cleaning staff, Cao Yi returned to his room. As soon as he entered the door, the ringing of his cell phone next to his bed stopped abruptly.
Cao Yi ran over to take a look and found that there were more than a dozen missed calls on his phone.
In addition to his parents, the people who called also included his grandfather Cao Shengli.
"Ah~" Cao Yi wailed and rubbed his forehead with his hand.
As one of the four young people in Nangang, he has to be windy and rainy here, but there is one thing he can never avoid, that is, the control of the elders in the family.
Cao Yi dialed the last number called.
"Grandpa, you haven't rested yet?"
"Why are you staying in the hotel so late?" The person on the other end of the phone was Cao Shengli, the head of the Cao family.
"Xiao Jinteng told you?" Cao Yi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect his grandfather to know his whereabouts.
"I want to know where you still need to find Xiao Jinteng?" Cao Shengli said.
"That's right, how can Nangang hide something from you." Cao Yi heard that his grandfather's tone was not good, and hurriedly flattered one or two.
"Say, what are you doing there so late?" Cao Shengli continued to ask this question.
Knowing that this matter could not be avoided, Cao Yi had to confess calmly, "Grandpa, I like a girl." β
After Cao Yi finished speaking, there was silence on the other end of the phone for at least three minutes.
After a while, a voice finally came from there, "That girl is in the hotel now?" β
