Lan Ni asks Xiaoyao if she knows where the Black Tigers are? Xiaoyao didn't answer, but her phone rang suddenly, it was Dapeng.

Dapeng: "Master, are you going to the Black Tiger Gang?" ”

Lannie: "Yes. ”

Dapeng: "Master, what are you doing in the Black Tiger Gang?" ”

Lannie: "Find someone." ”

Dapeng: "Although the Black Tiger Gang can't be compared with the Hong Gang of the Third Master, the scale is not small. ”

Lannie: "I'm just going to ask someone about something, not to fight, and the size doesn't matter to me." ”

Dapeng: "Xiaoyao and I are also going." ”

Lannie: "No. ”

Dapeng: "Master—"

Lan Ni said earnestly: "The master just asks casually, and he doesn't necessarily go, remember, you can't tell the fourth master about it, okay, it's late, go to sleep!" With that, Lannie hung up.

……

……

At half past five in the morning, Lan Ni arrived at the practice room on time, and Dapeng pestered Lan Ni to ask about the Black Tiger Gang last night, and Lan Ni sent him away: The person has been found, and the plan has been canceled.

Lan Ni accompanied Xiaoyao and Dapeng to practice, and the others also practiced together, and the whole practice room was in full swing.

When Lan Ni returned to the villa in front, it was almost seven o'clock, she came to the restaurant on the first floor to find Zhong Liwei, but the restaurant was empty, the third sister said that the fourth master had not gone downstairs today, and he might be in the study upstairs.

Lannie hurried up to the third floor, and when she found the door of her study open and no one inside, she walked down the hallway again, and found that the door to his bedroom was tightly closed.

……

……

Zhong Liwei didn't sleep all night, he stood in front of the window until more than three o'clock in the morning, and it wasn't until almost four o'clock that he went to bed and squinted for a while.

The curtains were hanging, the room was dark, and half-asleep, he heard a very soft sound of the door opening, followed by a very soft footsteps, and he knew that it was Lannie.

He slowly opened his eyes, and saw Lannie standing in front of his bed in a tracksuit.

She sat down softly, her eyes concerned: "Didn't you sleep well yesterday?" ”

He was about to get up, and she immediately pressed his shoulder: "Sleep a little longer." ”

He looked at her quietly, reached out and took her in his arms, and carried her into the bed.

Lan Ni struggled for a moment, and her voice was coquettish: "I just came back from the practice room, I sweat a lot, and it stinks." ”

He didn't speak, just tightened his arms and held her tighter in his arms.

In a moment, he closed his eyes, his stiff body gradually relaxed, and his breathing became even and long.

……

……

At 11 a.m., on the 59th floor of DB Company, Zhong Liwei's office.

Ouyang Qing stood in front of Zhong Liwei's desk with a brown paper bag, his eyes were entangled: "Fourth Master, I have basically investigated the things you asked me to investigate before." ”

Zhong Liwei put down the documents in his hand and glanced at Ouyang Qing: "What do you mean basic?" ”

Ouyang Qing: "After Miss Lan left Qingcheng, there were two years of blankness, and I used all our forces, and I didn't find any information about her. ”

Zhong Liwei stretched out his arm and took out a slender cigar from the humidor with his big finger bones: "What did you find?" ”

Ouyang Qing's expression was complicated: "Miss Lan was in the winter three years ago...... He was imprisoned in a drug rehabilitation center for 15 days because of drug abuse, and he was released from the drug rehabilitation center in the afternoon...... Only...... Just ...... with Dr. Lu I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register my marriage. ”

Zhong Liwei was stunned, and then a muffled thunder rolled under his dark eyes, and instantly set off a stormy wave.

Ouyang Qing immediately said: "Fourth Master, this matter may not be what we think, there must be something in it." ”

Zhong Liwei lowered his eyelashes: "What else did you find?" ”

Ouyang Qing: "Later, Miss Lan came to Rongcheng and returned to Qiao's house, but someone took out the evidence of Miss Lan's drug use, and Mr. Qiao, who was in charge of Qiao's family, ordered Miss Lan to be locked up. ”

"But the next day Miss Lan ran away, and the Qiao family immediately sent someone to chase her, and when she chased a cliff, Miss Lan fell off the cliff."

"The Qiao family sent people to look for a few days under the cliff, but they didn't find the body, because the cliff was very high and very steep, so the Qiao family believed that Miss Lan was dead."

"In the next two years, Miss Lan seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no news."

"Two years later, Miss Lan suddenly appeared in Rongcheng, and after returning to Rongcheng, her life was very regular, every day was two o'clock and one line, home and company, and then she went to Binhai Road on the first and fifteenth day of each month, occasionally went out to sketch in the mountains, and returned to her adoptive parents' house in Xiao County, C City."

Zhong Liwei lowered his eyelashes and didn't say a word.

Ouyang Qing looked at Zhong Liwei: "I specially investigated the relationship between Miss Lan and Dr. Lu again, although they have been registered with the Civil Affairs Bureau, but they only meet occasionally for a meal, and occasionally make phone calls, the frequency is about one or two weeks, or once every two or three weeks, it seems that ...... Not like a couple. ”

Zhong Liwei was still silent, but the pain in his heart had spread to his whole body, and suddenly, he felt a tumult in his stomach, he immediately got up and walked towards the bathroom in the office, Ouyang Qing followed closely behind Zhong Liwei: "Fourth master, are you uncomfortable again?" ”

The door of the bathroom was slammed shut, and there was a sound of rushing water inside, but the sound of rushing water could not hide the sound of almost vomiting out of the stomach.

Ouyang Qing was anxious: "Fourth Master, are you okay?" Fourth master, can I go in? ”

Ouyang Qing clutched the doorknob tightly and wanted to rush in several times, but in the end he still stood at the door, because Zhong Liwei did not allow anyone to see his embarrassed appearance of being tortured by illness.

Five minutes later, the sound of the water disappeared, but Zhong Liwei never came out, Ouyang Qing was so anxious that he felt that he was about to fall down in a hurry.

The door of the bathroom finally opened, and Zhong Liwei walked out of the bathroom, his handsome and extraordinary face was like a reef in the deep sea, cold and stiff.

He sank himself deep into his chair and looked out the window indifferently, like a dead plant, lifeless.

Suddenly, Zhong Liwei's phone rang, it was Dvořák's "Humorous Song", the song was like a sunny summer day, beautiful and bright, but Zhong Liwei's eyelashes trembled, and Mu Ran's empty eyes did not change, he was like a walking corpse, accidentally throwing his soul in another time and space.

The piano music continued to sound, and Ouyang Qing on the side wanted to speak, but at this time, he didn't dare to speak easily.

The piano music stopped, and the room returned to a deathly silence, just when Ouyang Qing was about to open his mouth to call Zhong Liwei, the piano music sounded again, at that moment, his brows moved slightly, and then a trace of sorrow crossed his eyes, he slowly lowered his head and glanced at the phone on the table, it was Lan Ni.

Ouyang Qing couldn't bear it anymore, he said anxiously: "Fourth Master, it's Miss Lan, she must be asking you to have lunch together." ”

He slowly picked up the phone, gently slid the green button, and immediately heard Lannie's happy voice inside.

Lan Ni: "Zhong Liwei, what are we going to eat at noon?" ”

Zhong Liwei did not speak.

Lan Ni: "Hey, Zhong Liwei, why don't you speak?" ”

Lannie: "Huh—why can't I hear it?" ”

Lannie: "Is the phone broken?" Why is there no sound? Hey, hey—"

Zhong Liwei was silent for a long time: "I have a party at noon. ”

Lannie: "Oh! Then I ate it myself. ”

Zhong Liwei said "um".

Lannie: "Shall we go home together in the evening?" ”

Zhong Liwei was silent for a few seconds: "...... at night There are also socials. ”

Lannie: "Oh! Then you don't drink, your stomach is bad. ”

Zhong Liwei said "um" again.

He hung up the phone and sunk himself deep in his chair, the feeling of loneliness, fear, like walking alone in an unknown space, blinded by the darkness, no matter how much he struggled, he could not see any light.

He slowly closed his eyes and allowed himself to be lost, to sink, to perish in the endless darkness......
