Lu Jiming is getting busier and busier, and the whole person is also visibly tired, and the high-intensity work pressure and mental pressure make him breathless.

Only when he gets home every night and sleeps with Ning Yu is his only time to relax and rest.

He thought about Ning Yi's body, and rarely did anything else, so he was very satisfied with holding her quietly.

This week, he ended the online meeting in the study room at two or three o'clock in a row, and he was extremely tired and mentally stressed, and he inevitably had nightmares.

Ning Yu was woken up by his frightened murmur.

"Don't come to me, I didn't mean to kill your ......"

"It's not...... You go away! ”

“……”

Lu Jiming was woken up by Ning Yu.

The light had been turned on, and she was worried about him between her eyebrows, and took a tissue to wipe the fine sweat off his forehead: "Why do you sweat so much?" ”

Lu Jiming had already woken up, but his face still had some palpitations: "I'm fine, I just had a nightmare." ”

He tugged at the corners of his mouth and looked at Ning Yu: "You should have heard it just now, right?" ”

Ning Yu nodded.

Lu Jiming's expression was a little stiff, he leaned his head on her neck, took a deep breath of the fragrance on her body, and said in a light tone: "Actually, it's nothing...... I just dreamed of Gangwon. ”

Under the warm yellow light, Ning Yi put his fingers on his hair, gently soothed him, and hummed.

Lu Jiming was completely relieved, he was really tired, and he fell asleep like this after a while.

Looking at Lu Jiming, who was sleeping peacefully, some imperceptible chuckles flashed in Ning Yi's eyes.

She had heard everything he had said in his sleep.

But what she didn't say was that she clearly heard the person he called was-

Brother.

*

In the following days, Ning Yi never went to the utility room again, and was a quiet and harmless "sick beauty" day after day.

Until one day, Lu Jiming had to go on a business trip for a few days.

The opportunity has finally arrived.

Waiting until late at night to be silent, Ning Yu walked out of the bedroom barefoot and walked towards the utility room.

These days, she has also checked a lot of information and newspapers on the Internet, but there is not a single word about the word "Lu Mingyuan".

Lu Zhengcheng is a public figure, and his partner's information and children's information are transparent and open to the public.

But no matter how she checked, the family information she could find was that he was married to an actress, divorced seven years ago, and their only son, Lu Jiming, was raised by him.

Only Son......

Could it be that Lu Mingyuan is an illegitimate child?

Then why did Lu Jiming want to harm him? Will illegitimate children also threaten his position?

……

She didn't waste any more time outside this time, and walked directly into the small room that she didn't have time to see before.

She used her phone's flashlight to scan the cluttered room.

There was no one to clean it, there was dust everywhere, and several large heavy wooden boxes were lying around.

Ning Yi opened a box and found that it was full of handmade models, boys' clothes, and daily necessities......

It seems that these things are really used by Lu Mingyuan.

Ning Yi leaned down and examined it carefully, wanting to find some useful clues.

It is said that everyday objects can best reflect a person's habits and character.

Ning Yi can also get a glimpse of his character from the objects he left behind-

Strong hands-on ability, can make a lot of delicate and complex models, good taste in clothing: simple and elegant, see the bottom of the box, there is a neat pile of books and test papers.

Ning Yi flipped through it casually, and found that the test papers were very neatly organized, each one was flat and neat, although the handwriting was a little faded, but it was still possible to see the elegant and beautiful strokes, and what was even more rare was that the test papers were full of writing, and most of the traces of correction were checked.

It seems that this Lu Mingyuan is really good.

Ning Yi looked at the trophies in this room that had accumulated dust and were engraved with the words "Lu Jiming", and couldn't help but think.

Lu Jiming has also won a lot of honors, and an illegitimate brother who is not known to the outside world, what can hinder him?

Ning Yi rummaged through the entire box, and even the old newspapers that Lu Jiming had used to attend the event with Lu Zhengcheng and his mother when he was a child were turned out, but he still didn't find anything useful.

She bent over to look for a long time, and she could only hold the mobile phone in one hand and rummage with the other hand without turning on the light, which was a little out of strength.

After closing the heavy wooden box, her brain turned black due to the lack of blood supply.

One fell to the ground without noticing.

Rubbing a little skin at her elbow, she relieved herself of the momentum, opened her eyes, and she slowly stood up.

After a few seconds, as if thinking of something, she went back to where she had fallen, and lay down to check with the light source of her mobile phone—

A small bag of garbage wrapped in a black plastic bag sits quietly under the cabinet.

The dust on the plastic bags indicates that they have been here for as long as the boxes.

Ning Yi remembered that in the casual conversation with Aunt Zhou that day, she had inadvertently mentioned that some of the things here were all ordered by Lu Jiming to throw them away after the accident back then, but there were too many, and within a few days, for some reason, most of the servants of the Lu family were replaced, and some people were driven away before their work was finished.

Ning Yi's heartbeat was faintly accelerating, and he always felt that there would be something ...... in this Something that excites her.

She bent down and struggled to pull the bag out of the bottom of the cabinet.

After untying the bag, Ning Yu found that there were very few things inside, only a wooden box and a photo of it being torn.

Ning Yi tried to piece it together, and found that the people in the photo were Lu Mingyuan and Lu Jiming.

This photo was taken in the snow, two young teenagers facing the camera, and the slightly older Lu Mingyuan had a bright smile, a clear face, and a fiery and warm smile.

He put one hand on Lu Jiming's shoulder, looking like he trusted this younger brother.

Lu Jiming and Lu Mingyuan's facial features are actually very similar, but judging from this photo, they will definitely not be mistaken.

Lu Mingyuan is sunny and cheerful, full of youthful spirit, like a refreshing breeze in summer.

And Lu Jiming's appearance is more delicate and feminine, and he didn't like to laugh as much as he did later-

Even if that smile is a disguise for endless malice and ugly pus-shedding hearts.

In the photo, his thin lips are pursed, there is no smile at all, and there is an indissolate gloom in his eyes, like dark and damp moss.

Ning Yi stared at the steep snow-capped mountain behind the two of them for a long time, and gradually had a reasonable conjecture in his heart - this was taken on the day of Lu Mingyuan's accident.

As she expected, Lu Mingyuan had an accident that day, and Lu Jiming was also there.

And the two people in the photo are wearing neat hiking suits, and it seems that they will also go up the mountain together in a while.

Ning Yi finished reading the photo before opening the box on the side.

Inside the box are two very long ropes, which are used to protect the mountain when climbing.

Ning Yi picked it up and found that one of them had been broken into two, and Aunt Zhou's vague words suddenly sounded in his head-

"It looks like the rope is broken......"

Ning Yu was overwhelmed by intense joy, and she looked at the broken mountaineering rope in her hand, as if she had found a treasure.

As long as you send this rope to the appraisal center to test whether it is broken due to force or artificial, everything will be revealed!

Ning Yi thought like this, and a smile couldn't help but welling up on his face.

However, all this joy was due to the name engraved on the beginning of the rope that she saw in her lower eyes, three familiar and clear small seal characters—

Lu Jiming.
