Tick – tick – tick –

In the darkness, only the sound of falling water droplets could be heard.

Nangong Yanran opened her eyes, and as soon as her head moved, there was a huge pulling force behind her neck.

Where is she?

Didn't you get a token in Little Rock? In a trance, it seemed that I had read a letter left by Tie Niu, and then I didn't know it at all...

Tick – tick – tick –

The sound of water droplets was still the same, Nangong Yanran's heart was furious, and she wanted to move, only to find that her limbs were fixed on a wooden stake, and her wrists were also firmly tied to iron chains, which was cold and piercing.

She couldn't hold the shudder, and the chains shook.

There was a foul smell in the air, like the smell of something moldy and rotten.

"Hey!! Where is this? Who are you? Why are you arresting me? ”

The first thought that popped into Nangong Yanran's mind was Qin Chen.

But after thinking about it again, what is Qin Chen's motive?

It can't be the continuation of coveting Ah Da, right? How is it possible, even if Ah Da is rich, those will definitely not be taken into Qin Chen's eyes.

Can... So who else?

Since she completely severed her relationship with the Nangong family, there are not many people who know that she is still alive.

"Crunch-crunch-"

A light appeared in the darkness in the distance, and in the light, an old body was crumbling, she held a kerosene lamp used in the last century, stepping on a dead branch, deep and shallow, her figure disappeared with the flickering flame.

Rao is Nangong Yanran's courage is abnormal, and she can't help but be frightened at this moment.

She tried hard to identify the figure, and she could vaguely make out that it was an old woman, as if it was still somewhat familiar.

"Grandma?" Nangong Yanran was overjoyed.

"yes... Miss... It's me..."

As she spoke, the old woman had already stepped forward and lifted the lamp in her hand with great difficulty.

Under the long dull hair, a wrinkled face was revealed, and the round eyeballs in the deep-set eye sockets occupied most of the whites of the eyes. Her wrinkled mouth was open and closed, dark and empty. Not to mention the teeth, not even the tongue can be seen.

"Hell!!" Nangong Yanran screamed! She remembered that during the day, this grandmother was still talking to herself, and she was going to cook for herself, why was it only a little older, and her tongue and teeth were gone.

"Ghosts?"

"Hehe..."

In the next second, the old woman's hand had climbed up her cheek, and the tingling sensation spread.

Nangong Yanran twitched violently, wanting to struggle, but the old woman suddenly exerted her strength, and her emaciated fingertips pressed under Nangong Yanran's cheekbones, and she screamed in pain!

"Ahh Grandma, what are you doing!! Help me untie it, I'm Yanran! ”

"Does it hurt?" The old woman's voice was like breaking a sealed box, extremely slow, but the words were clear, and it followed Nangong Yanran's scalp into her mind.

"It hurts... Grandma, what's wrong with you? Why am I here, didn't you say you cooked for me? What are you going to do if you lock me up here..."Nangong Yanran hurriedly replied, tears of pain were about to fall.

"Does it really hurt?" The old woman said slowly.

"But I'm nothing compared to Miss? Have you forgotten how you sent someone to pull my tongue out and sew it on? ”

A picture suddenly flashed in Nangong Yanran's mind, and she remembered the picture of her attack on the old grandmother at that time, it was the first time she killed someone, for Qin Chen.

She also did mental construction for a long time at that time, and even didn't sleep well for more than a month, hiding in her room all day to read Buddhist scriptures.

"But... But aren't you dead? Grandma, for Grandma's sake, please let me out. Nangong Yan suddenly lowered her attitude and prayed in a low voice.

was locked up by Qin Chen, although it was possible to die, but the man's methods were all above board. But the person in front of her is different, she is an old minister of the Nangong family, and she has naturally experienced some filthy things in the great family.

Not to mention anything else, those perverted tricks... Nangong Yanran's scalp is numb...

"That's not going to work," the old woman smiled, her already wrinkled face twisted into layers with her smile, like the bark of a tree piled together.

"Why!" Nangong Yanran had a faint sense of foreboding in her heart, and she suddenly regretted coming to the desert for this trip.

"Because... You have harmed my son... Of course I'm going to avenge him. ”

"Your son? Ah? Grandma, you're laughing, Grandma... Okay. Nangong Yanran smiled reluctantly, her mind turned, and she hurriedly explained: "You forgot, Ah Da still told you a few days ago that he went on a mission, and he will come back when the mission is over." ”

"Really?"

The old woman squinted her eyes and stroked the hand on her cheek, but she did not relax at all.

"Miss, do you know how my eldest son died?"

Nangong Yanran was stunned, and some didn't know why she was involved in Grandma's child who died early at a few years old, and looked at her suspiciously: "Didn't your son accidentally fall into the water and die?" ”

"yes," the smile on Grandma's face deepened again.

"But if it wasn't to save you, how could he fall into the river? And... If it weren't for the fear of being punished for being playful, how could he not be rescued? That's it, now you killed Ah Da and crushed him to ashes... Nangong Yanran, your heart is really ruthless. ”

"I really want to dig out your heart to see if it's black."

Grandma said, her fingers running down her cheek.

Obviously, she was just an old man who looked like she was about to die, but at this moment, Nangong Yanran felt that the old woman was so terrible.

Especially the dim light, she couldn't see where it was.

Through the flickering coal lamp, she could faintly see the scene around her.

The clutter of dead grass lay on the stone floor, and from time to time there was a rustling sound, as if something was crawling. On the irregular stone wall, there were black-and-white photographs with yellowed paper, and when she looked closely, she realized that it was a teenager.

There was some familiarity between her eyebrows, and her head buzzed.

"The child who saved me back then was your son?" She blurted out, and her fear was infinitely magnified...

Once upon a time, she was also naïve and romantic.

Unfortunately, it all ended with the death of her mother when she was six years old.

She witnessed her father and stepmother in the woods, and accidentally fell into the lake for fear of being discovered.

Or a teenager saved her.

It's just that the young man's kindness was not rewarded, but was killed by Nangong Yanran's father in the name of breaking into a forbidden place.

After all, at that time, Nangong Yanran's mother had just passed away for a few days...

spread out, and he didn't have to be the head of the house.

As for drowning, that's just a reason to stop the crowd.

And... When the head of the Nangong family made a move, he still pressed a teenager into the water and drowned him alive in front of Yan Ran...

Nangong Yanran will never forget the look in the eyes of that young man before he died.

Despair, helplessness... And a touch of incomprehension.

Obviously he saved her, why...

This is also the reason why Nangong Yanran did not hesitate to save people when she found the dying Ah Da in the river, because the compensation psychology was at work...

"yes... He saved you, but you let your father kill him! Grandma's voice became sharp in vain!

"Nangong Yanran, you are so ruthless !!"

"No... No... How do you know, didn't you say that no one knew at the time? Nangong Yanran said tremblingly.

"So? Do you admit it? The old woman's eyes widened again.

"I thought Mr. Qin was lying to me, but now it seems..."

"Nangong Yanran, don't worry... I'm not going to kill you so soon, I'll let you taste my son's pain!" I still owe Ah Da that share! I'll get it back!! ”

Grandma laughed hysterically, feeling uncontrollable, the truth that had been buried for more than 20 years finally surfaced, she looked at this girl she had taken care of for more than 20 years, and her feelings were extremely complicated.

Two lines of blood and tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, she picked up an extremely blunt dagger, shook her hands, and stabbed at Nangong Yanran's chest...

"No... No!!! ”

"I don't want to die... Mother-in-law... Please... Let me go..."

......

Los Angeles SR Headquarters Office.

Qin Chen read the report from Continent F in silence.

Nangong Yanran died, and her body was hung on top of Little Rock City, covered in iron and swollen.

I don't know what she suffered during her lifetime, her whole face has changed beyond recognition.

The only intact chest was also sewn with the words "I am guilty" with needle and thread.

Qin Chen sighed and silently closed the picture.

"Boss, that grandma committed suicide, when we went to collect the corpse, this thing was placed next to the corpse, and the message said that it was to repay you." Ben knocked on the door and came in with a box.

When Qin Chen saw the box, he remembered Long Yan's face, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Ben didn't notice his small movements, and saw that Qin Chen didn't object, so he opened the box.

In addition to the token symbolizing Ah Da's identity, there is also a very old map. The material is sheepskin, and when it is spread out, there is a strange smell in the whole room.

But the strange thing is that the map above is so messy that you can't tell which one is which.

Not to mention, the text looked more like a ghost drawing than the oracle bone inscription.

Qin Chen didn't think too much about it, and directly let the things be put away.

Just as he was thinking, there was a rhythmic knock on the door outside, which was Leng Qing, who had been forgotten.

"President, the second son of the Fu family is downstairs, saying that he has something important to look for you."

"The second son of the Fu family? Fu Changqing? Qin Chen frowned.

"Yes, I've been waiting for you for half an hour." Leng Qing's formulaic answer, there was love in her shining eyes that couldn't be hidden.

In the past few days of Qin Chen's absence, she has actually planned to give up.

But when she saw Qin Chen come back alone, the little flame she suppressed in her heart couldn't help but burn again.

"Invite him to the third conference room." Qin Chen got up and said, arranging for Ben to properly handle the grandmother's life experience.

Looking out the window, he couldn't help but miss.

Rao, Nangong Yanran is also dead, when will you come back.

What about the surprise?
