When he saw this, Xu Fan's heart sank.

But it was just a notebook with an unknown origin, a page of genealogy, and an inexplicable sentence, Xu Fan naturally wouldn't believe the content on it, even if it had the name of Xu Fan's mother on it.

But the strong curiosity prompted Xu Fan to turn the second page of the notebook.

There is a group photo of a young man and a woman inside, the man's face is scratched and he can't tell who it is, but the woman Xu Fan can see at a glance that it is her mother.

Flip over the back of the photo and record the time.

Xu Fan pinched his fingers and counted it, it happened to be taken when his mother Xu Lanxin was about twenty years old.

Xu Fan frowned, in Xu Fan's memory, there was never a separate photo of his mother before he was born, and the man in the photo, only through his figure, Xu Fan was sure that he had never seen it since he was a child.

At this point, Xu Fan began to realize that what the notebook said might be true.

At least, someone is investigating their own mother!

Xu Fan couldn't wait to open the third page of the notebook.

This page is the notebook reporter's own statement, who claims to be a good friend of Xu Fan's mother, Xu Lanxin.

Because the Xu family was killed twenty-five years ago, and began to conduct a secret investigation, because the investigation would be very dangerous, so he specially wrote this investigation note in order to fear that he would be killed in the process of investigation, which would cause his clues to sink into the sea.

The date of the payment here is 20 years ago.

Seeing this point in time, Xu Fan calculated in his heart again, this time happened to be the time when Xu Fan was born.

Just when Xu Fan calmly faced and was about to continue to open the notebook.

But I found that the contents of the notebook were interrupted, and from the fourth page, a full twenty-five pages of the contents were torn up!

Xu Fan was shocked in his heart!

Thinking of the rest of the names that were crossed out in the family tree above, Xu Fan vaguely remembered that when he was a child, he heard his mother talk about it occasionally.

Xu Fan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart!

At least the name on this page is real, and this family tree belongs to his mother, the Xu family.

No wonder!

Xu Fan remembered that he had lived in Donghai City with his mother since he was a child and had never met his father. When he was a child, he quarreled with his mother because of this.

The quarrel was annoying, and it was only said that his father died before he was born.

At the same time, what puzzled Xu Fan when he was a child was that other people's children had relatives, but their family had never seen relatives. Whether it is a New Year's holiday, or his birthday, etc., Xu Fan has never seen his mother's elders and juniors appear.

The only playmates who appeared in childhood were Shangguan Qian and Shangguan Yuying.

It was also at that time that Xu Lanxin relieved herself and told Xu Fan that her mother's family was in the imperial capital, but because of her father's relationship, she had cut off relations with her family for many years.

In short, from when Xu Fan was a child.

Regarding Xu Lanxin's family and Xu Fan's life experience, Xu Lanxin is secretive and never talks about it with Xu Fan.

And when Xu Fan grew up, he didn't ask anymore. He doesn't care about his background, as long as he and his mother are doing well.

As for his mother's family, Xu Fan didn't like to go to relatives, and no contact would affect his life at all.

But even so, Xu Fan always believed that her mother said that her mother's home was in the imperial capital. And this time, Xu's mother left Donghai City to travel, and she also went to her mother's house in the imperial capital, which Xu Fan never doubted.

Until now!

If the Xu family, except for their own mother, was killed more than twenty years ago, then everything makes sense.

Although Zhao Donglai is not credible, and he handed over the notebook to himself, he must have his purpose.

Xu Fan still had doubts about whether the content on the notebook was true or not, but Xu Fan had to admit that just by reading the first three pages, Xu Fan's heart suddenly surged with strong anger.

Anger against the XII!

Even though Xu Fan desperately suppressed this anger, he still couldn't bear to kill Situ Yao just now.

Time to go back to the present!

After carefully reading the contents of the three pages of the notebook again.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Fan closed the notebook and put it into the ring.

Then, Xu Fan took out his mobile phone.

It's hard to say whether the contents of the notebook are true or false, but Xu Fan had to ask about its source, and he called Zhao Donglai.

"Zhao Donglai, it's me. You should know why I'm calling you, right? Answering the phone, Xu Fan immediately said in an extremely low voice.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Donglai was silent for a while and said, "I know!" You've probably read the information on your notebook. Just ask whatever you want. ”

"Good! The first question, where did the notebook come from? Xu Fan said in a deep voice.

Zhao Donglai said lightly: "Three months ago, in the battle of Sanfeng Temple, the Gu family lost and fled in a hurry. This is what I found in the dark pavilion of the Gu family's villa. ”

"What is it about the torn up notebook? Whether it was torn off by you. Xu Fan then asked.

"When I found this notebook, all I had left was these three pages. In addition, I originally thought that this was something that the Gu family did not take away. But I checked later, and it was very likely that it was not something left by the Gu family. Because when I got the notebook, I guess no one had flipped it for at least 10 years. So, this is left by the people who lived in the villa before. Zhao Donglai said slowly.

Xu Fan pondered for a while and continued to ask, "You got the notebook three months ago, and you didn't hand it over to me as soon as possible. Have you already investigated? I want to know what the results of your investigation are. ”

Zhao Donglai pondered for a long time this time, and only said after a long time: "Okay! I looked into it though. But useful information is limited. There are only three pieces of information that can be determined. ”

"First, I inquired about the case that occurred in the imperial capital twenty-five years ago. There was indeed an arson case, a family surnamed Xu broke out into a fire when they were having a family banquet! More than thirty people died overnight. And these people who died in the fire all appear in the family tree. ”

Xu Fan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "That's not right!" There were only about 30 people, and the notebook said that all but my mother had died. ”

Zhao Donglai groaned: "That's right! I didn't think it was right at first. So, I started looking for the remaining names on the family tree. It turns out that all but your mother died unexpectedly within a year of the arson. ”

Xu Fan said in a deep voice: "What are the remaining two points?" ”

Zhao Donglai sighed and said, "The second thing I inquired about was your mother's information. It turns out that your mother brought you to Tokai City twenty-four years ago, when you were already born, about two years old. Also, there is no information about your father."

"Thirdly, I inquired about the Gu family's villa ten years ago. It was learned that it was the property of a foreigner, this person named Elton, but he had also left Tokai City ten years ago and was missing. ”

After all that is said.

Zhao Donglai paused and said, "Xu Fan! In fact, whether the notebook is real or fake, and who left it, I still can't tell. I'll send you the information I've looked into later. As for wanting to know the truth or falsehood, it's very simple, you just have to ask......"

"I see." Xu Fan directly interrupted Zhao Donglai, and then asked, "Zhao Donglai, let's be more direct." You got the notebook three months ago! You may have chosen to hand it over to the Twelfth Family, but you chose to hand it over to me when you left Tokai City, what is your purpose? ”

Zhao Donglai was silent for a while, and said slowly: "I already said it the night before you left Lin'an City. My purpose is to overthrow the Twelfth Family. ”

"Xu Fan! I have the same blood feud as the Twelfth Family! But I don't have to forge the contents of the notebook in order to pull you into the water. You can check the information I just said, and it must not be difficult to find it yourself. ”

Xu Fan said in a deep voice: "I'll check." I will work with you as well. But I only have one request. ”

"What requirements?" Zhao Donglai asked.

Xu Fan said coldly: "No matter what you do, what you have to do!" You must not look for my mother, if I find out that you are looking for my mother, or using my mother for something! Then, I will definitely kill you with my own hands! ”

After pondering for a while, Zhao Donglai said, "I understand!" I can promise you that. The contents of the notebook are currently known only to me, Yang Shoucheng and you. There will never be four people who know, and I won't go to your mother for confirmation. ”

"Good!" Xu Fan said lightly: "If you find anything in the future, please notify me immediately!" Good bye! ”
