Luo Qingyuan's living room is a very expensive place at first glance.

Everything is decorated in accordance with where he is - water-colored wallpaper and light blue Mediterranean-style furnishings, a place where the wise can enjoy water.

But is he a wise man? looks like no business or treacherous, Lu Xuefeng is much better than him.

A cup of lukewarm tea in a Mary blue French porcelain cup was handed over to me as I thought.

Snort slightly, it's black tea...... With a slightly stale taste, it seems that the Luo family is indeed not as good as it used to be.

"Actually, I'm not as self-conscious as Mr. Lu thinks. I know that the answer to Mr. Lu's question is owed by my Luo family to Mr. Lu. However, Qing Xiang would not have come here to find the eldest brother if Mr. Lu could have clues. Now the eldest brother doesn't say it, if Mr. Lu wants to find clues, I'm afraid it will take some effort. ”

Luo Qingyuan finished the work of serving tea and pouring water, and sat down in front of us with a sense of relief. He looked at me apologetically and smiled, then looked at Lu Xuefeng persistently and continued: "Since Mr. Lu still needs to find clues, if Qing has an answer, it will be equivalent to saving Mr. Lu some effort." For Mr. Lu, time is money, and as a businessman, Qing saved Mr. Lu a sum of money. Should Mr. Lu also give Qing the same reward? ”

While I was drinking tea on the side, I almost lost the teacup in my hand.

This Luo Qingyuan's way of speaking one ring after another can be said to surprise me, this is quite clear, if you are not careful, you can go around it!

I put down the teacup and couldn't help but look at Lu Xuefeng with a face. I don't know what he thinks about Luo Qingyuan's words.

"Oh? Lu was stupid and didn't know what the sixth young master wanted. Lu Xuefeng did seem to have a new interest in Luo Qingyuan's trade-offs. Just looking at the faint smile in his pupils, it was not admiration, it seemed to be more of a curiosity.

He's not here to play, is he?

Feed! Dare to be serious!

Luo Qingyuan heard Lu Xuefeng's rhetorical question, and his eyes seemed to be overflowing with anticipation as if spring flowers were blooming in an instant.

"The eighth brother was once the financial manager of the Luo family. After his disappearance, this position fell into my hands. The current situation of the Luo family is the clearest among our only six remaining brothers. Therefore, Qing hopes to use Qing's information in exchange for Mr. Lu's signature. ”

In pretending to be calm, he hurriedly took out a thin folder and held it tightly in his hand with shaking hands.

What is it?

It makes him so excited.

"Is the contract for the capital injection right?" Lu Xuefeng's simple sentence didn't give Luo Qingyuan a chance to unfold the file at all, so he snatched everything away.

Funding contract? Is it possible......

It's just that this is too thin, and the various terms will not be mentioned for the time being, in this short period of more than a week, for him who has just taken over the finances, he probably has not written it in detail at all.

Besides, how could he have thought that Lu Xuefeng and I would come here? With such a hasty contract, he Luo Qingyuan dared to take it out, didn't it make it clear that he was going to be rejected?

"Yes. At present, only the strong assets of Mr. Lu's family can save the Luo family from fire and water. If Mr. Lu is willing to take a look, Qing is willing to answer Miss Yang's question of coming here immediately. ”

'Huh? Are you prophetic? You know I have a question to ask? Hearing this, I couldn't help but have a new understanding of Luo Qingyuan.

Does he also know that his contract is not detailed enough? So just take a look.

"Then I'll take a look?" After hearing this, Lu Xuefeng looked at me jokingly, and took the document from Qing's hand.

'How could I have done this, Lord!' You're kidding me! 'I don't look away as if I dislike it, the affairs of the Lu family are not in my hands, how can I mix it casually, I am not so on the nose!

Compared with the unhurriedness between me and Lu Xuefeng, Luo Qingyuan seemed to be a little unable to wait, and took the initiative to take out a not old photo from his arms and put it on the table.

"Miss Yang must be curious to know. So first of all, I would like to ask Miss Yang, have you seen this photo? Before I could finish speaking, I had already swept the panorama of the photograph with my peripheral vision.

It is a graduation photo of the South District Normal High School......

If there is a showdown now, he is not afraid that Lu Xuefeng and I will regret it?

"This is the graduation photo of the seventh brother, and the seventh brother liked Miss Yang at that time......"

With a bang, I almost dropped my glass and stood up. Is there a Mary Sue plot with thunder! Luo Jiexin likes me! How is this possible, he and I just talked to each other in the library!

"What nonsense are you talking about!" How can he talk nonsense, like this kind of thing, what basis does he have!

At that time, Luo Jiexin and I only shared the same preferences in some poetry collections, so we often met in the library to discuss poetry, and there was absolutely no overstepping feelings.

Wait, Luo Jiexin doesn't think so! Is it that as his brother, I will understand him better, am I just because he likes it, so I am too impulsive.

As if I had some reason, I sat down honestly again. It's better to come and find fault after listening to it, but now I don't know what to do. ’

"Looks like I'm right! Miss Yang, both emotionally and physically, is the person who the seventh brother should have killed. However, in order to protect you, the seventh brother found a stand-in. In order to keep Miss Yang alive, he killed the other 56 people in the photo except for him. ”

Luo Qingyuan faced my impulsiveness, with an unexpected calmness in his eyes, and there was no panic caused by lying.

What he won't say is true, right?

Then my iniquity, is it impossible to write about it!

On the one hand, Lu Xuefeng's warm hand gently covered my slightly trembling shoulder, and I looked at him in horror, and what caught my eye was a pair of gentle and reliable obsidian pupils.

He seemed to remind me that everything was with him.

Luo Qingyuan looked at me and Lu Xuefeng lightly, coughed lightly, and then began to continue: "Miss Yang still doesn't know the secrets of the Luo family, I'm afraid Qing needs to start from the beginning. I don't know if Mr. Lu is interested in listening. ”

At this point in the story, he looked at Lu Xuefeng again, as if he was threatening him with this desire to speak.

"I just look at the contract and don't care about me. All you need to do is tell Miss Yang a story. Lu Xuefeng flipped the contract on the table very cooperatively, and his casual words revealed a meaning of allowing Luo Qingyuan to continue.

Storytelling...... These seem to him to be just stories and not facts?

"The Luo family has two secrets, one is the Tongchang Pagoda that Miss Yang has destroyed, which is a pagoda self-styled by the ancestors, and no one can shake it for thousands of years. There is another one, which was created the day after tomorrow, which is the secret method given by the group of old monks on Yinhu Mountain, the 'Eight Sons Tomb' of resentment. ”

Eight Sons Tomb ......

The old man on Silver Lake Mountain? Are those old monks who said earlier that my strength almost caused the Zhenzhou seal to change hands?

"The people who died in Tongchang Tower were deeply resentful, and in the previous few hundred years, the Luo family was extremely thin because of this, and the descendants could not escape the fate of not being able to die well. So those old men gave us a way for the Luo family to seek a substitute, which is the root of the Luo family's ancestral hall to worship ancestors. Every eighteen years of reincarnation, we will find someone we love and dedicate it to the ancestral hall to renew our lives. ”

Sacrificing other people's lives to continue their lives did exist in ancient times. Just like the Qin period, the matter of sustaining life by killing people is often recorded. But whether it's true or false is never known.

Either they didn't succeed, or the people who lived with other people's lives were too low-key.

I'm afraid that the origin of the Eight Tombs is too deep, and all the stories in my heart are connected, and I seem to have some eyebrows about the matter of the gray shadow. I was a little nervous and pieced together what the gray shadow said in my memory, and asked Luo Qingyuan rhetorically: "Then you mean that Luo Jiexin chose me...... But he didn't kill me in the end? ”

If it's because Luo Jiexin didn't kill me...... And kill someone else...... That......

"Yes, the seventh brother should have been very clear about his fate, if he didn't kill you, he would die. But he's afraid of death, and he doesn't want you to die. So he found another woman and put his friendship for everyone in the class on protecting you. Luo Qingyuan's explanation seemed a little professional and vague, and it seemed that there was a feeling that I didn't understand it on purpose.

"What do you mean?" I was getting more and more anxious, and I was getting more and more nervous. I'm afraid to listen to what he's saying, because I don't understand it!

"It's really an idiot idea to use family and friendship to pay off the debt of love." Lu Xuefeng, who was beside him, seemed to have been listening to Luo Qingyuan's narration, and he answered my questions very straightforwardly.

It's like trying to make me understand how much this has to do with me.

"This was really the only way at the time, and I don't know where the seventh brother knew about it. But that's not where the key is. Because fifty-five is enough...... The fifty-sixth man, the woman who replaced you, died in vain. ”

The crux of the problem slowly spit out after Luo Qingyuan's eyes sank.

The woman...... Dead in vain?

What is the meaning?

Didn't those 56 people die when the bus overturned? How come there are only fifty-five?

Is this a case within a case?

"The woman? Could it be ......" My mind flashed, and I guessed who that woman was.

It's Grey Shadow! Because she is my stand-in, she likes Luo Jiexin, but she was killed by Luo Jiexin because of me. She thought she could accompany Luo Jiexin in the tower, but she didn't expect the tower to be destroyed by me...... So she's going to take revenge on me?

So how did she get sealed in the tower?

"The long night is cold and the green curtain is low, and the pipa is not sad for anyone. Jun's heart is as uncertain as the bright moon, and only then does the building turn from east to west. Xie Zhen's "Song of Resentment", Miss Yang should be no stranger. ”

The tactful verses in Luo Qingyuan's mouth came eloquently. Like a death knell, it confirmed my suspicions. is the senior sister who gave the poem to Luo Jiexin at that time, it is her, she is the gray shadow!
