Because of Cao's Group's violations of laws and regulations, it suffered a huge fine, and Cao's Group went bankrupt.

Cao Pu sold both villas...... Instead, he lived in the East Lake community he developed. He lived in it and remembered his misfortune, and at the same time he remembered the original accident.

When he was building one of the buildings in the Donghu community, he cut corners, causing the building to collapse, and six construction workers fell from the building and died...... However, he has been blindfolded......

Therefore, the matter has not been settled.

This accident is like a demon, which has been haunting Cao Pu's heart. He drank all day long, and he poured out his sorrows with wine. In the end, he couldn't support it and committed suicide.

That day, the sky had already darkened, and it wasn't long before it was almost completely dark.

When the sun went down, the wind stopped blowing.

There is a 15-story residential elevator building in the East Lake community, and the lights in the building are shining.

Despite his reputation and financial damage after the accident, Cao Pu was still a wealthy man – as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Cao Pu now lives on the fifteenth floor of this building, which has a rooftop garden.

When Murong Lian came back from staying with Kan Ying for a few days, she parked her car in a private parking space in the underground garage and took the elevator to the door of the building.

Murong Lian glanced at her watch, Cao Pu at this time may be sitting lazily in front of the TV while watching TV and drinking.

"How is Cao Pu now?" Murong Lian called Kan Ying's house to ask the female neighbor.

Before Murong Lian left, she told her neighbors to always look at her husband. Because she was worried that after she left, there would be problems with leaving Cao Pu at home alone.

The female neighbor said to Murong Lian on the phone: "Cao Pu is drinking more fiercely now." You'd better come back soon, I don't think he's in good spirits...... He may need your help too much. ”

Murong Lian had lived with Kan Ying for more than three months, and she still clearly remembered the scene when Murong Lian left at that time, as if it was still yesterday.

At that time, after arguing with Cao Pu, she walked out of the house with her bag and ran to the underground parking lot without hesitation.

At this time, Cao Pu suddenly ran over and shouted at Murong Lian:

"You dead mother-in-law, get out of here, never come back!"

"Did you hear that? Don't come back. You're going to die outside! Get out of here with your notoriety and infamy!"

Since he sold his villa and moved to Donghu Community, Cao Pu's mood has been very bad, and he loses his temper at every turn, Murong Lian has never seen Cao Pu when he has a good temper.

On this day, Cao Pu was so drunk that Murong Lian was afraid, she was afraid that Cao Pu would fall from the too low guardrail on the top of the fifteenth floor.

Walking into the elevator, Murong Lian pressed the button to the fourteenth floor. At this time, Cao Pu was in the house on the fifteenth floor. But before she could meet Cao Pu, she was going to talk to the female neighbor who lived on the fourteenth floor and talked to her on the phone.

Murong Lian knocked on the door of the female neighbor's room 1401...... The female neighbor exclaimed in surprise when she saw her: "Ah, Murong Lian, it's so good that you're back!"

After the greetings, the female neighbor invited Murong Lian to sit on the sofa, brought boiling water, and chatted while peeling apples.

The female neighbor was in her early forties, of medium height, and well-dressed. Although she is a little older than Murong Lian, she still has the charm and has always paid attention to taking care of herself.

As soon as the female neighbor saw Murong Lian, she said enviously: "Your figure is so good!" Where is it like me, I'm so fat. ”

Murong Lian sat down, leaned forward, and said, "Where are you fat, not fat, much more beautiful than me, I'm just a little thin."

When the female neighbor heard the compliment, she felt extremely comfortable.

"By the way, what do you think I'll see when I knock on the door?" Murong Lian asked worriedly.

"Ah, some of Cao Pu's behaviors are really weird and incomprehensible, really weird...... I told you all over the phone. ”

"How long?"

"Ten days ......"

"Ah......h

"That's right. Don't be surprised......

"Ten days ago was the third anniversary, you know?" The female neighbor looked at Murong Lian blankly, "It's been the third anniversary of the accident." ”

The female neighbor shrugged her shoulders and said, "Ah, these two things shouldn't have anything to do with each other." I mean, Cao Pu was always reluctant to take any responsibility. ”

Murong Lian asked, "What's wrong with Cao Pu's behavior?"

Cao Pu told people that he heard a voice.

"What sound?"

He said he heard footsteps and talking.

"There are frequent leaks on the roof, is it being repaired?"

The female neighbor shook her head - she is a property manager and probably understands this situation:

"No, of course not...... Not long after you left, you put a waterproof layer on the roof of the building, and you haven't done it since. Some people once said that the quality of this building was not good, and that there would be more loopholes in the future, right? ”

Murong Lian didn't know how to answer this question.

So, Murong Lian stood up and walked out.

By this time, it was already dark outside.

The neighborhood faces the lovely East Lake, which turns into a black and glittering mirror that reflects the lights emitted from the building.

If it weren't for the lake, probably no one would have come to buy this house. Most of the residents put aside the emotional factor and buy a house because of this lake.

When Murong Lian was leaving, she also asked: "You said on the phone that Cao Pu drank more alcohol, is it more powerful than when I left?"

The female neighbor nodded: "I met Cao Pu at the elevator yesterday, and he fell down like that...... Alas, we could smell the smell of wine on him from all afar, and he was already drunk, so we had to help him upstairs and go back. ”

Murong Lian shook her head and did not sit down again, but walked to the door again and talked to the female neighbor.

"Okay, I'd better go up and have a look now. Thank you for calling me. ”

"If you're worried, I can go up with you."

"It's okay, you don't have to accompany me. I have to face my husband alone, it's not good for you to go......"

Murong Lian thanked the female neighbor again and hurried upstairs.

This time, Murong Lian did not take the elevator, but walked up the stairs to the top floor and came to room 1501.

Murong Lian bit her lip lightly, raised her right hand and knocked on the door, and then waited.

At that moment, she heard footsteps......

Hearing this voice, Murong Lian knew that Cao Pu was drunk. His footsteps stopped, as if he couldn't pull the door open.

Cao Pu staggered open the door and looked at his wife as if he didn't know him.

"Husband, are you okay?" Murong Lian stood at the door and asked with concern.

"Why are you back?" Cao Pu asked angrily, and blocked the door, not letting him in.

"This is my home, why can't I come back? I see you drink like this every day, how can you do it? I'd like to help you if possible. ”

"How can you help me? I don't need your help. ”

Cao Pu suddenly yelled, and the energy was exactly the same as when Murong Lian left Cao Pu.

"Husband, let me in first." Murong Lian said pitifully.
