The north wind at night was very cold and the sky was very gloomy. The moon was dark and the wind was high. Such weather was originally not suitable for going out. Qiuhuai stopped at the door for a moment and then took out his mobile phone and carefully looked at the words marked on the screen.

After setting the time and place, I pressed the delete button and made sure that no evidence would be left behind, then I wrapped my windbreaker tightly and walked out.

This is a very ordinary residential area. Although the weather tonight is not very ideal and there is no brightly lit city night view to enjoy, Qiu Huai still reluctantly entered a small shop facing the street outside the community.

In such weather, especially at night, business will naturally not be very good. A middle-aged man in his forties was taking a nap against the cashier.

Qiu Huai's high heels deliberately tapped on the floor tiles at the door. The man was startled and quickly looked up, "What...are you doing?".

"Looking for your boss..." Qiu Huai took a look at the store and found that although the store was not big, there was a door in the northeast corner, indicating that there was another room inside.

"I am the boss, girl...what do you want from me?" the middle-aged man asked again.

"Look for your boss!" Qiu Huai snorted disdainfully, "Let him come out to see me within half a minute, otherwise... I will not accompany you!".

The middle-aged man looked Qiu Huai up and down, and seemed to realize that the charming and extraordinary woman in front of him was unusual. So he quickly walked directly from the cashier to the door inside. Ten seconds later

He came back and made a "please come inside" gesture to Qiu Huai, "Please...".

Qiu Huai turned around gracefully and gave the middle-aged man a soft smile before walking into the door.

The space inside is not large, and it should be a temporary resting place for the shop owner. There is a quite exquisite tea table in the center of the room. Two people are already sitting at the tea table, an old man who is over seventy years old is very unfamiliar, and the other is three years old.

The gentle man in his teenage years was an old acquaintance of hers. Not only did he have a good relationship with her, but he was also very friendly.

"Sister Qiuhuai..." The gentle man saw Qiuhuai coming in and immediately came over and hugged her shoulders, "Sister is getting more and more beautiful, she has a 'big sister' demeanor...".

Qiu Huai unceremoniously pushed away the hand he put on his shoulder, then looked at the old man and asked, "This is...".

Although the old man is already in his seventies with white hair and beard, he is very energetic. Especially his face is very similar to that of Mr. Bao Lan Zipeng. Even if you make a blind guess, you can guess the exact result.

The gentle man did not answer, but smiled and asked, "Who does sister think he should be?".

Qiu Huai also smiled, "Although I haven't met Lan Zipeng himself, I know what he looks like. If it was a different appearance or a whole appearance that was deliberately done...I'm afraid I can't hide it from the Lan family! So, you at least have to

Make sure this old gentleman’s bloodline is authentic…”.

The old man's majestic gaze glanced at Qiu Huai's face twice, and then said, "Miss Qiu, you don't have to worry at all. My identity is clearly written in the Lan family genealogy. Even though Lan Zipeng died, there is still a person."

Lan Ziqian is still alive, and I will let you see the results when the time comes...".

"Okay!" Qiuhuai's charming eyes flashed, "In order to help you, I put myself at the forefront of the storm! I hope you two won't let me down...".

The gentle man put his hand on Qiu Huai's shoulder again and said with a smile, "We have been in love for so many years, sister, why can't you still trust me? As long as you help me get what I want, I will also make my sister's wishes come true.

!".

"All your wishes come true?" Qiu Huai pushed his hand away again and asked, "It seems that Mr. Hong knows what I want?".

The gentle man laughed without thinking, "Woman! All you want is endless glory and wealth, and endless money. I can give you all of this!".

Qiuhuai gave him a very charming smile and asked, "You really understand me, but what if...I want more?".

"No problem, give me to you too..." The gentle man laughed again in a self-righteous and ungrateful way.

The old man looked at them and asked with a serious face, "Are you sure that the eldest young master of the Lan family is really dead? He is a 'god' in the eyes of the Lan family. Is it really that easy to die?".

"I'm not sure whether he's dead or not, because I haven't seen the body with my own eyes!" Qiu Huai replied, "The senior management of the Lan family has been very secretive about this matter. There is also a theory that the eldest young master of the Lan family has gone out to travel around the world..."

.

The gentle man laughed when he heard this, "He went to travel around the world? He also pretended to be a monk. Does he have so much leisure? He didn't show up at the Lan family's ancestor worship celebration once every ten years. I think he was probably afraid of the Lan family.

They were fighting for power among themselves, so they deliberately released such news to stabilize the situation, right?"

"If Mr. Hong thinks so, maybe...it's true!" Qiu Huai smiled uncertainly, and then agreed with this guess, "Otherwise, Zhang Mingrui and Rose King would not have disappeared one after another...".

"Missing?" the old man asked in surprise, "They are all the top figures in the Lan family. They disappeared one after another...Did they encounter an accident or something else?".

Qiu Huai hesitated for a moment before answering, "It is said that... the eldest lady of the Leng family was pregnant when she left the Rose Garden. They were looking for news about Lan Tianxing's posthumous son. Although this matter has been suppressed

In order to avoid being mentioned, the Rose King went out to look for clues personally. If Lan Tianxing was still alive, why would they spare no effort?"

"It makes sense..." The old man nodded and asked, "In two days, the Lan family will have a big day to worship their ancestors once every ten years. We will take this opportunity to make a comeback. Now only Ji Lang is left in the Lan family to hold on to the scene.

, my chances of winning should be very good!”.

"Isn't it true?" Qiu Huai reminded, "There is also Zhang Zhiheng. Although his father is not here for the time being, the Zhang family is not that easy to mess with! Besides, Lan Ming's 'Mingyue' brand has been

They are all financially supported by the Lan family. If you want to seize power...it is best for the two of you to get the support of Mr. Lan, and the chance of winning is really great..."

"That's right! But we have already planned this!" The old man stood up with a satisfied smile and boasted, "Miss Qiu is not only beautiful but also so good at planning. It seems that we will cooperate happily.

…”.

Cooperation? Qiu Huai chuckled disdainfully. She was not very interested in such explicit flattery. She just smiled gracefully and did not answer. Whether there will be a very happy result after cooperation is still open to question.

She just wanted to take advantage of the current emptiness inside the Lan family to find a scapegoat to test the waters for her, because based on her knowledge and understanding of Lan Tianxing in the past ten years, that 'god'-like man was

He would never die so easily. In addition to being an illusion, his disappearance may also have another deeper hidden meaning.

Therefore, she would not reveal her trump card so quickly and cooperate closely with someone on whose ship she really boarded, because she was worried about getting into trouble when she got off the ship.

Fang Yining carefully prepared an afternoon at home. Not only did she dress herself up beautifully, she also prepared a table of food and wine that Lan Ming liked. Today is the first anniversary of her wedding to Lan Ming.

Although he knew from the beginning that Lan Ming did not love her at all, he married her purely because of the generations of family friends between the two families and the friendship between their fathers. In other words, Lan Ming was the biggest victim in the family relationship.

, in order to maintain various business and human relationships, he had no choice but to be kidnapped by marriage with no way to escape.
