"Are you really so sure?" Shuqing still couldn't believe what An Xiaowen said, she had a lot of confusion, maybe this was the time to figure it out.

An Xiaowen paused with the hand holding the teacup, and then raised her head to look at Shuqing, of course she knew what she was thinking, everything should be told to her.

"I can tell you everything you want to know. She said slowly, in a sad tone.

"You know Anna is in an insane asylum?"

An Xiaowen nodded: "I know." ”

"If you know, why do you want me-"

An Xiaowen knew that the first question Shuqing asked her must be this, she couldn't hide it, and she couldn't deceive her. So, she sighed and said calmly:

"Shuqing, I know she is there, but it doesn't mean that I know her situation, I only have a quick glance with her. In the moment I caught a glimpse, I believed that the poor girl was my snatched daughter. But I'm not sure, and I don't dare let anyone know—this—how ridiculous this is—you're right, I'm not going to find a way to get her out of there. She, she couldn't have come out. So, I only hope to get information about her from you once in a while. ”

"Why?"

"What, why?"

"Why can't you get her out, she's not crazy, she's just being Zhou Zhiwen's evil wife-"

"No, Shuqing, no, don't you know that she poisoned her own brother to death?

"But you can send her to a better place, a better psychiatric hospital with a stronger medical team and better equipment, can't you?"

An Xiaowen shook his head, his eyes red with sadness.

"You tell me in person, blame me, why didn't you tell you earlier, did you forget?" Shuqing remembered how angry An Xiaowen was when she told An Xiaowen about Anna's whereabouts and how she dealt with it, her attitude was really incomprehensible.

"No, Shuqing, no! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have hidden anything from you, because—because—I can't—"

"Because Li Yiwen used patients in an insane asylum for experiments? Is it true that you are afraid of exposing his illegal behavior, and you are afraid of influencing him, right? ”

An Xiaowen looked up at Shuqing in surprise, her panic and surprise were indescribable. "How do you know?"

Li Yiwen's wife has been spying on him. ”

"Well, she knows it. ”

"Yes, she knows, knows everything Li Yiwen does. ”

An Xiaowen looked at the black oppressive lake in silence, no matter how bright the light is, you never know what is under the black oppressive lake, piranhas, or water monsters, but this is not Loch Ness.

Li Yiwen has a younger sister who lives in a village called Yanren in northern Chongqing. The house she lives in was rented by Li Yiwen from a villager. Her sister used to be in Guangzhou, she married in Guangzhou, and after her husband died in a car accident, she returned to Chongqing to join him. You know that their parents died very young, leaving two siblings to depend on each other, and he accepted her and bought her a two-bedroom house in Jiangbei, and he borrowed money from me when he bought this house, so I know about it. His sister has a son, and he came back with her, and he was a very sweet boy, and I liked him very much. After their house was built, I often went to see them, sometimes by myself, sometimes with the translation. One winter, we went to see her as usual, and it was particularly cold that winter. The humid air, the cold wind was blowing, and the whole street was filled with the smell of rotting aquatic plants, and it felt like the gates of hell had been opened, and the foul-smelling cold wind was blowing from hell. Although I don't know what hell is like, I think that if there is hell, it must be like that, and the wind and air in hell must be like that. We walked very fast, and my woolen hat was blown off several times because it was too windy on the road. But when we walked into the warm room that the translation had prepared for his sister, there was no wind, no humid air, no rancid stench of water plants, nothing. Only a warm, clean house, and a gentle and touching woman. Dressed in a beautiful goose-yellow knitted dress and an aqua blue courtesy, she stood barefoot at the door to greet us. She smiled very softly, and I still remember that smile, and she said, 'Wenwen, my favorite Wenwen, you are here. Oh, and my favorite brother, my favorite brother'. She hugged us separately and kissed us on the cheeks. Her style has always been relatively new, I hugged back, and kissed her on the cheek, although I think it's strange, the Chinese do Western etiquette, but I did the same, we often watch some foreign movies together, between us, we always like to imitate some scenes in the movie, so as to have fun. At that time I thought of her as my best friend, and yes, she was my best friend, except for you. An Xiaowen paused, she glanced at Shuqing, and then turned her head to look at the black and oppressive lake, as if waiting for something to emerge from the lake.

Shuqing didn't speak, waiting for her quietly.
