……

When Pete wakes up, he finds himself lying in a dimly lit room.

It was dark all around, except for some dim starlight coming in through the small window at the end of the bed.

He tried to move his hands and feet, but as soon as he thought about it, the sore muscles involved the wounds all over his body, and he couldn't help but gasp in pain.

And at this moment, next to the small window, a tall black shadow suddenly approached.

Someone......

Pete immediately became vigilant.

He had slept for too long, and his eyes were not very accustomed to the darkness when he woke up just now, so he didn't even notice the danger hidden in the darkness.

Where, though?

What happened when I was on the bridge before?

Didn't you fall into the river with someone and a car? Could it be that this man saved himself?

Thinking of this, Pete immediately cleared his throat and forced his composure.

"Friend, who are you?"

As soon as his words fell, a man's voice was heard in the darkness.

"Congratulations, Mr. Pete, if you don't die, you will be blessed."

"Who are you? Do you know my name? Pete was a little surprised, it didn't seem like a coincidence.

"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to answer me a few questions, Mr. Pitt."

The man's tone was calm, but there was a sense of urgency that could not be refused.

Pete couldn't help frowning slightly, "What do you want to know?" ”

"All!"

In the darkness, the man seemed to snort softly, "Everything you know, I want to know." ”

Pete didn't speak, he looked down at the tube he was sticking into, and knew he had no choice.

"Then let's start from the beginning, Mr. Pete, are you investigating a man in a wheelchair?"

Pete hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "...... Be. ”

"That's right, tell me everything you find."

In the darkness, the man's voice seemed to have some kind of magic power, which made people subconsciously want to surrender.

Pete was in a trance for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses.

Reason told him that this matter must not be leaked casually, especially the man in front of him.

Although he couldn't see the other person's face, he could feel how dangerous the light from the darkness was.

"Who are you and why are you interested in this?"

"Mr. Pitt, now I'm asking you, and you're not qualified to ask."

"I'm at least qualified to know your identity, otherwise how can I judge if these things can be leaked to you?"

"You're not qualified, Mr. Pete, I think you should understand." The man suddenly sneered, "See the tubes stuck in your body, just remove them, you will die immediately, and your son, he will also be in trouble." ”

"It's none of Leo's business, you can't hurt him!" Pete immediately let out a low roar, like a beast guarding a calf.

"I can't move him, it depends on your appearance, don't you understand?" The man's voice was full of menace.

Pete hung his head in despair, and after a moment's pause, he regained access to the man's burning gaze hidden in the darkness.

"Okay, I'll tell you all."

……

Lu Yao and Su Marie stayed with Leo in the hotel for a morning, until Leo was extremely tired and fell asleep, and then the two left the hotel with a sigh.

"It seems that Leo doesn't seem to believe that this was an accident, is there really something wrong with it?"

Su Marie said thoughtfully as she started the car.

Lu Yao saw that she had begun to doubt, and hurriedly wanted to go over.

"Well, it should be that he is too sensitive, and now the police haven't spoken yet, let's not scare ourselves yet."

Su Marie nodded, "Well, you're right, the authorities are obsessed, we bystanders naturally can't be like Leo, the accident happened really unexpectedly, but it can't be complicated by this." ”

"That's right......"

Lu Yao quietly glanced at her with her peripheral vision and was slightly relieved to confirm that Su Marie had dispelled her doubts.

Nothing to say all the way......

As soon as she got home, Lu Yao locked herself in her room.

Her heart was full of question marks, and she quickly took out the photo from her bag and brought it to her eyes to take a closer look.

In the photo, old Pete is still very young, and the woman next to him is also delicate and beautiful, in that era, she should be called a stunning beauty.

It's a pity that God is jealous......

Lu Yao frowned with some regret, and then turned on the computer and searched through the photo.

Her little knowledge of hacking can only be regarded as scratching the surface, but she has finally climbed over the wall and found the Internet.

It's a pity that the identity of the other party is too mysterious, and she searched around the keyword Interpol, but she couldn't find any clues.

It's a kind of facial recognition technology, which allowed her to inadvertently flip through some useful things.

It can be inferred from the details that this girl should be an absolute Bai Fumei before becoming a criminal policeman, in addition to the identification of people, Lu Yao also found an account suspected of being abandoned by a girl on an ancient social software, from the analysis of ID, she should be surnamed 'Rong' or 'Rong', with mixed-race genes.

But after checking here, the clue was broken.

After that, no matter what method Lu Yao used, she could never find anything about her.

But this little harvest is already an unexpected surprise, fortunately this is the Internet era, people live in the world, more or less will always leave some personal traces on the Internet.

Lu Yao hugged the tablet contentedly, leaning against the head of the bed and being slightly distracted.

Is it 'Rong' or 'Rong'?

Why is Hua Tingshen also investigating things about her?

Could it be that this 'Rong'o

The 'Rong' family is also one of the twenty families in the underground world??

Lu Yao was suddenly startled by this bold idea in his mind, but this fright, like a hurricane, finally blew away some of the obstacles that had been haunting his heart for many days.

What if this is not your own hypothesis, but an ironclad fact?

If there is really a 'Rong' in the twelve families

'Rong' family, Hua Tingshen's behavior is easy to explain.

Maybe the Hua family was also involved in the incident back then, so he was investigating in secret, right?

But what happened back then?

Why did old Pete mention this and look like he was secretive?

And Leo's conjecture, could it be that Old Pete was really retaliated against, and what happened last night was really not an accident?

The more she thought about it, the more Lu Yao felt that her whole body was cold from beginning to end.

She seemed to be shrouded in clouds, and she couldn't figure out a reasonable result no matter how she tried it, but her thoughts were like a kite that couldn't be contained, and a familiar name could not be suppressed at the end of the line.

Hua Ting Shen ......

Could it be him?

Could he have done all this?

Lu Yao suddenly shivered, as if he was in the middle of a winter night, and the cold feeling went straight from the soles of his feet to his vest.

……

In the dark room, the starlight grew dimmer.

Old Pete's story had been told, and the dark shadow in front of the window had frozen into a boulder.

After a long stalemate, old Pete coughed lightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I told you everything I know, are you satisfied now?" ”

In the darkness, the man's voice sounded at the right time.

"The Yi family has been wiped out, and now there is only one disabled waste young master left, why are you investigating him? Do you think there's something wrong with him? ”

Old Pete didn't speak, and was silent for a moment before he looked up and looked in the direction of the shadow.

"You're from that world, too, aren't you? Who are you and why are you so interested in the affairs of the Yi family? ”
