Chapter 59: Inquiring from many sides
When Xi Lie returned to her room, she had already fallen asleep.
stroked her forehead and made sure that she didn't have a fever anymore before covering her with a quilt and lying down lightly.
Tossing and turning.
He also suddenly realized that since Shen Mi married him, his life was not very troublesome, and it was his impulse that broke her peaceful life, and the Xi family's big business could not protect her.
It can be seen that she has no desire for wealth and nobility, and it was probably impulsive to agree to marry him at that time.
It's just that he's really doing too badly.
He still asked Jason to report the application materials to him.
He thought about it again and again, the country has been prosperous for generations, but the life of a person is very short.
It wasn't until late at night that he fell asleep.
The next day, Shen Mi got up early in the morning.
Quietly changed his clothes and went out on his own.
"What's the matter with me?"
Li Mengzheng was holding a cup of coffee, looking at her with a confused expression, a trace of guilt flashing on her face.
Shen Mi smiled, ordered a morning for herself, and slowly sat down opposite her.
"I know your identity, let's get straight to the point, I have a few questions for you."
Li Meng was stunned when he heard this, "You, you ask!" β
"How much do you know about your dad? Also, how do you know that the person in the photo is me? β
The other party obviously didn't expect her to say this, and he couldn't even control his expression for a while.
"Don't be surprised, it's my husband who caught someone in it." She explained to herself.
"Actually, he came to me after he was released from prison, and suddenly one day, he specially stuffed me with a bank card, and then there was no news, and I knew that he was arrested." Li Meng said, hanging his head with some guilt, not daring to look into her eyes.
"As for the picture, I recognize your necklace."
"I've always thought your necklace was beautiful, so I took a few more looks."
Li Meng said, sighing apprehensively, "I'm sorry, I really don't know how to face you." β
"It's not your fault, take the liberty of asking, can you tell me about your dad's past? How did you become a murderer? β
Shen Mi blinked, and glanced at her expression that instantly cooled down, "If you don't want to say it, don't force it, I'm just curious." β
Li Meng shook his head when he heard this, "It's been so long, and I've been like this for so many years, so I don't feel anything special." β
"However, when I was a child, I didn't understand this, but after I went to school, I found out that my classmates excluded me, and later I heard that he was a murderer, and I went back to ask my mother, and she beat me hard."
"After that, my mother couldn't stand the pressure and filed for divorce, and after that, she got married. I started my oil bottle career again. I hadn't seen my dad for so many years, and I knew he was being held in the northern suburbs detention center, but I never went to it once. β
"Also the other day, my mom said that he was out of prison and went to see him once, and then he came to me. I really don't know, he, he actually did that kind of illegal thing again, or did it to youγγγγγγ β
Shen Mi sighed and hooked the corners of his mouth gloomily.
"Do you remember what happened to him before he went to prison?"
Li Meng shook his head, "I really don't know, my mother has a big temper, and I haven't asked." β
"yes, I see." Shen Mi nodded and said no more.
"He's hurt you, I'm sorry, if there's a need for me, call me! Anyway, I'm sorry. β
Farewell to Li Meng, Shen Mi felt that there was nothing to gain, and after thinking for a long time, he called Zhao Zihao.
Zhao Zihao was busy, and the two had to make an appointment to have a meal together at noon.
In her spare time, she plans to go to the Nanshan cemetery to have a look.
Yesterday I dreamed of my father, and she had been in a heavy heart, and then she remembered that she was so busy with personal matters that she hadn't talked to him for a long time.
Probably angry, I don't bless myself anymore.
After buying a large handful of chrysanthemums in the service area, she walked slowly on the wet path after the rain.
There were a lot of dead leaves on the ground, and there was a dull sound when stepping on them.
Arriving at her father's tombstone, her shoes were stained with a lot of mud, and she cleaned up the mud beside her, and then she meticulously began to clean up the mud that had been covered everywhere by the rain.
Finally cleaned up, she silently wanted to put the white chrysanthemum she bought.
But I suddenly found that in front of the tombstone, there was a bouquet of flowers that had already been born.
It's not a chrysanthemum, but a few white roses!
It seems that someone sent it not long ago, although the petals fell off a little, but it still retained its true color, which made her whole person stunned.
Who sweeps the grave and actually sends roses?
And for so many years, except for Shen Jie coming with her, she has never seen anyone else here!
It seems that this is definitely not sent by Shen Jie.
So it's some acquaintance of my father, have you been here? And, still a woman?
Could it be that his own mother, who made Shen Jie beat her chest and kill her spouse, is back??
It's just that how did she know that her father was buried here? You must know that this is a whole hill is a cemetery, could it be that she has already asked who it is?
Thinking about it, she glanced at the white rose that exuded an eerie luster, and the goosebumps that had just appeared on her body instantly dissipated, and her heart was shrouded in a dullness.
Almost without hesitation, she picked up the bouquet of roses and tossed it aside.
Glancing at the photo on the tombstone, she respectfully placed the flowers she had bought.
"Dad, I haven't come to see you for a long time, I dreamed of you yesterday."
She muttered, ignoring the wet ground, and sat down slowly.
"It's been a hard time lately, and there are times when I can't hold on, I don't know if you can't stand it anymore, so you can cheer me up with your dreams!"
"Next time, can you give me a dream and tell me who is causing trouble? I'm really tired. β
As she spoke, she shook her head, her shoulders hanging limply.
After staying for a while, the mobile phone rang, and when I took it out, I saw that it was Xi Lie.
"Where have you been? I thought you were just going out for breakfast. His voice came, with a slight weariness.
"I'll come to the cemetery to burn some paper for my dad." She replied honestly.
"When will you come back, do you want me to pick you up, I still have something to tell you."
Xi Lie said in a heavy tone.
"In the afternoon, I'm going to have lunch with the rat at noon." She explained, then closed the line.
From Nanshan Ink to the city, it was time to have dinner with the mouse, and the two made an appointment at a restaurant near the police station.
After waiting for a while, Zhao Zihao was late.
Shen Mi hadn't seen him for a long time, and when he saw his beard unshaven, he couldn't help but glance at him with disgust.
"You've been getting more and more unkempt lately, how can you be so sloppy? My aunt is still pointing at you to beg for a wife! β
Zhao Zihao raised his eyebrows indifferently, "What do you want a woman for?" Life isn't good enough? β
He sat down with a big grin, glanced at the food Shen Mi ordered, and nodded with satisfaction. "What's the matter with me?"
"Just to inquire about something, you told me that day, what did that prisoner do before?" Shen Mi frowned and asked nonchalantly.
Zhao Zihao was stunned when he heard this, and looked at her vigilantly for a while.
"Why do you ask this? What do you want? β
"I just feel very wronged, I want to know what this person is doing, why are you so excited?" Shen Mihu glanced at him suspiciously, intuition that he was hiding something from him.
"Oh, what do you know all this for, aren't there police here? Besides, I can't tell you these things! Zhao Zihao muttered, and she frowned when she heard it.
"Why can't you tell me, I'm a victim, I'm still your sister! I just asked him how he became a murderer before, and you didn't tell me? β
The soft one can't do it, she can only come to the hard one.
"Oh, don't ask, it's not good for you to know this!" Zhao Zihao sighed irritably.
"What the hell can't you say? It really is. Seeing his resolute attitude, she was a little anxious.
Zhao Zihao was inexplicably anxious.
"If it weren't for your Xi family, I could tell you anything."
Shen Mi was stunned when he heard this, his eyes lit up like a hyena smelling the fragrance, and instantly lit up.
"What is the Xi family? Say it! β
"I also suddenly found out one day when I turned through the file, didn't one of the Xi family die in a car accident? It was this person who hit it, and it was characterized as a traffic accident at the time, and it was questioned later. Zhao Zihao couldn't resist her, looked around, and lowered his voice.
"But you said that this person has a lot of enmity with the Xi family, he drove a truck and turned the young master of the Xi family into scum, and he had to target him when he came out, and it was only a few days, and he went in again."
Shen Mi frowned when he heard this, and there was a chill, and goosebumps kept falling.
Li Juncheng has no enmity with the Xi family, she knows, but what she is worried about now is who is so ruthless behind this scene? !
And when did this grudge begin?
Now it seems that it's okay to kidnap her to take some pictures, it's still a small fight?
"Sister, seriously, you have to be careful, I feel that this matter is not simple, the person behind it must hate the Xi family to the core, I am a little worried." Zhao Zihao said, and glanced at her worriedly, and Shen Mi looked a little creepy with that worried look.
If it was really Luo Yanbei as she thought, what kind of hatred was this, and even Xi Lie couldn't figure it out?
Thinking that she was in no mood to eat anymore, she felt very uncomfortable and faintly worried.
It's not that I'm afraid of what will happen to me, but I'm afraid of what the culprit will do.
After lunch, she remembered that Xi Lie still had something to tell her, so she had to go home obediently.
There were several pairs of shoes at the entrance, and as soon as Shen Mi entered the door, he found that several people in the family were sitting on the sofa, and when they saw her, they all stood up respectfully, which startled her.
"What is this?" She asked, hesitantly.
"From tomorrow onwards, they will be responsible for protecting you." Xi Lie said, and began to introduce her seriously.
"This is Ah Chao, this is Ah Cheng, this is Xiao Yan. They are all retired soldiers. β
Shen Mi had no choice but to smile and greet them politely.
Several of them were well-trained people, and they stood straight and straight, which made her feel extra stressed.
"Isn't three a bit too exaggerated......" she asked in a whisper as she pulled Xi Lie aside.
"Then two people, one person takes turns off." Xi Lie said without doubt.
When she heard this, she sighed helplessly, "In this case, don't you have to apply for early retirement?" β
Xi Lie frowned when he heard this.
Jason's guy is really blatantly eating inside and out.
"You are my husband, and I have the right to know about you. Besides, you don't have to do that. β
"I won't allow you to do anything again." Xi Lie said word by word, without beak.
"Got it, can't you take the three of them with you?" Shen Mi sighed, pointed to the three people in the living room, and lowered his head speechlessly.
Xi Lie nodded with satisfaction, and patted her shoulder with his big hand, "I don't mean to spy on you, I just don't want to make any mistakes, in another week, I will have to go back to the military region, and when the time comes, I will feel at ease when they protect you." β
Shen Mi nodded silently, which was considered to be an acknowledgement.
So she turned into the head of three tough guys.
Xiao Yan was in charge of driving, and the other two were responsible for protecting her, and for a while, she had the illusion that she was a celebrity.
Xi Lie specially packed up three guest rooms, and the three of them, plus Jason, just got together a table of mahjong, and she didn't have a share in the game.
A good new home suddenly became a military camp.
In the morning and evening, she can see a row of big men sweating in the gym around the corner of the living room, sometimes standing upside down in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, which makes her feel out of place.
When the car customized for her arrived, Xi Lie actually gave Xiao Yan the car key directly, and didn't even let her touch it!
The photos about her have dispersed quickly since Li Juncheng came forward to clarify that day, but the incident in Luo Yanbei continued to ferment, and I heard that he had been controlled and was being investigated by the authorities, and it seemed that it had cooled down.
Because Xi Lie was busy for a long time and didn't go back to the old house, he got up early in the morning and took her out.
"You're leaving the day after tomorrow, do you have any mission?" In the car, Shen Mi couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm." Xi Lie nodded, and looked at her with a pair of deep eyes, "One last time." β
"What do you mean? Did you really apply? She was stunned, and there was a little helplessness in her tone.
"I applied for a civilian job and was transferred back to Cloud City."
"You, what do you mean, your physique, is it someone who sits in an office? Haven't I been protected by the three of them lately? She asked, a little angry, with a straight face.
"It hasn't been approved yet, don't get excited." Xi Lieyun said lightly, and parked the car at the gate of the yard steadily.
Shen Mi saw an unknown car parked at the gate of the courtyard, thinking that there seemed to be a guest at home.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Man greeted him.
"Lie'er is back?"
"Well, what about Dad?" Xi Lie looked around and asked subconsciously.
"Suddenly there are guests in the house, and they are discussing things in the study." Chen Man said, beckoning them to sit down.
"Who's here?" Xi Lie frowned and asked.
Chen Man blinked, "It seems to be the Luo family, I recently heard that the Luo family is not peaceful, so I should have come to ask your father for help." β
Shen Mi was stunned when he heard this.
I have to say that the Luo family is really amazing!
Luo Yanbei kept saying that there was a deep hatred and hatred, blood debts and blood repayment, but at this time, there were still people who came to the door to ask for help, which was really speechless.
Now it seems that the Xi family doesn't seem to know what is behind it.
She certainly couldn't just open her mouth for nothing, things were more tricky than she had imagined.
I don't know how to remind them to be careful of this Luo family without a trace, she is a girl's family, and she has no position on these things, and it is really dizzying to tell Xi Lie that he is going crazy and retiring again.
"Daughter-in-law?" Chen Man's voice suddenly drilled into her ears, and she came back to her senses.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
"I just said, grandma wants to see you, go up!" Chen Man repeated good-naturedly.
She nodded, obediently went upstairs, looked at the closed door at the end of the hallway, and sighed heavily.
"Grandma."
Pushing the door in, Lin Meijuan was sitting on the bed, and Ah Hong was helping her rub her legs.
"You go out first." Lin Meijuan glanced at her and waved her hand to Ah Hong, who quickly got up and exited the door.
"Grandma, you're looking for me." Shen Mi obediently stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, took over Ah Hong's work, and obediently helped her press her shoulders and legs.
Lin Meijuan smiled, "Daughter-in-law Sun, how are you doing?" β
Shen Mi smiled and nodded obediently.
"I heard that you are asking Zhang's mother about something?" Lin Meijuan said, no emotion could be heard in her tone.
"That's right, Grandma." She didn't shy away from it, and nodded solemnly.
feels that in this family, the only people she can talk to are Lin Meijuan and Chen Man.
"Silly boy, I told you not to worry about it, I know it in my heart."
When Shen Mi heard this, he hesitated for a while before he glanced at Lin Meijuan hesitantly.
"Grandma, tell me about the past, I was quite curious at first."
Lin Meijuan blinked in confusion when she heard this, "When do you want to hear about it?" β
"That's it, when Xi Lie was a child." She smiled, innocent.
"Lie'er, when he was young, he was as good as he is now, he likes to practice martial arts, and he is very well-behaved when he reads." When Lin Meijuan talked about this eldest grandson, she couldn't hide her approval, and there was a smile in her eyebrows.
"I heard that when I was a child, my favorite in the family was the second uncle." Shen Mi's eyes flashed and said with a smile.
"Yes, at that time, Yingjun also liked Lie'er very much, and often took him to play with him." Lin Meijuan nodded, as if caught in a memory.
"My handsomeness is also well-behaved and sensible, but I never thought that God was so ruthlessγγγγγγ"
Seeing that her eyes were dim, Shen Mi suddenly felt that she was a little unkind, but there was nothing she could do, after all, she didn't have many news channels, and Zhao Zihao was just hearsay, with no substantive basis, so she could only ask around hard.
"Since Youngjun's death, all happiness has been taken away by him." Lin Meijuan sighed and suddenly fell into pain.
"I heard that the second uncle had a car accidentγγγγγγ As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Meijuan cautiously, ready to quickly change the topic when she was really unhappy.
But she never thought about it, Lin Meijuan just sighed deeply and grabbed her hand tremblingly.
"At the beginning, your second uncle talked about a girlfriend, and the two fell in love, but who knew that the old man didn't know what was going on, but he didn't like them to be together, and then they had a quarrel, and the two broke up."
"Since then, your second uncle has been ghostly, until Yingyue's birthday, he drank some wine and drove out, and he never came back."
"Then, grandma, do you know where the prospective second aunt is now?" She blinked and asked curiously.
Xi Lie said at the beginning that he was still young and didn't remember those things, but he only knew that the daughter never appeared again, and she may have settled abroad.
"There is no news, your second uncle has never seen her come after the accident. Probably heartbroken and unwilling to turn back! Lin Meijuan shook her head and sighed heavily.
"And what about the perpetrator at that time? What happened to it later? β
When Lin Meijuan heard this, she blinked her dark eyes and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Daughter-in-law Sun, why do you ask so much?"
Only then did Shen Mi realize that he had indeed asked a little off-topic, so he had to laugh twice and resume the movements in his hands.
"I also asked about those places before I knew it, I'm sorry, grandma."
"I just think it's a pity that the second uncle is gone, and I think the perpetrator should be severely punished."
She played a round for herself, and Lin Meijuan didn't say much when she heard this, but just looked at her deeply and stopped talking.
After a while, Xi Lie also pushed the door in.
The mother-in-law and grandson seem to have a good relationship, and the gloomy atmosphere just now has been swept away by his arrival.
"Grandma, you talk first, I'll go down and take a turn." Shen Mi quickly stood up, smiled at the two, glanced at Xi Lie, and then walked out slowly.
After standing in the hallway for a while, she chirped downstairs.
In the room.
"Lie'er, keep an eye on your granddaughter-in-law lately." Lin Meijuan's eyes sank, and she commanded word by word.
"Grandma, what's going on?" Xi Lie was a little puzzled.
Lin Meijuan sighed.
"My daughter-in-law is a good girl, she likes to do everything by herself, and I'm afraid she will get hurt."
Who is Xi Lie, he quickly understood what she meant, and his sword eyebrows frowned slightly.
"I wonder what Grandma is referring to? It's been a bit much lately. β
"Daughter-in-law Sun, it seems that she is asking me about your second uncle, intentionally or unintentionally, I guess she should have sensed something."
Hearing this, Xi Lie's eyes sank, and his expression sank.
"Probably something happened, she strung together with her rich imagination, grandma, don't worry, I arranged someone to protect her, and it will be fine."
"What's happened to my daughter-in-law lately? I see that she is not in a good mental state, and she has lost a lot of weight, did you bully her? Lin Meijuan quickly grasped the key point of her words, and asked with a twisted eyebrow.
"No, how could I bully her?"
"Then why else did people lose weight, and they didn't tell you anything, and came to knock on the side in front of me, an old woman?" Lin Meijuan glared in displeasure, and her tone was full of reproach.
"Daughter-in-law Sun is a kind person, it's not good to marry into the Xi family, I also know that if she can't treat you as a confidant, she will live too lonely, you have to pay more attention, don't snub others."
Xi Lie lowered his eyes and was silent, as if he was thinking about her words.
Lin Meijuan sighed, patted the back of his hand with her thin hand, and muttered:
"She wants to know about your second uncle, so tell her!"
