Chapter 224: The Darkness
The call was from Mrs. Tang.
The two of them were separated by a table, and Chu Ci could still clearly hear Mrs. Tang's heart-wrenching cries on the other end of the phone.
What does it feel like to hear an elderly man crying heart-wrenchingly and heartbroken?
Shocking.
What kind of mood is it?
Chu Ci's throat seemed to be stuck with something, and it was congested.
Tang Qing stood up suddenly and said into the phone: "Grandma, I'll be right back."
Mrs. Tang was so excited because her husband was killed.
Chu Ci sat on her seat and looked at Tang Qing's hurried away figure through the glass window. She knew that there were some things that Tang Qing wouldn't care about, but she couldn't get over it with Mrs. Tang.
Chu Ci returned to Ruan's house in a daze. Lin Lin was looking for food in the kitchen with a cane. When she heard the door open, she came out with a cane: "Sister, why is there no food at home? Why is the aunt at home gone? No one can do anything."
Rice, I’m starving to death…”
Lin Lin talked for a long time, but received no response. Chu Ci lay on the sofa in despair.
"Sister?" Lin Lin called out again. Chu Ci seemed not to hear. She walked over and called out again: "Sister? What's wrong with you? I'm hungry. Where is my aunt at home?"
Chu Ci came back to his senses and looked at Lin Lin with some confusion. Looking at the face that was exactly the same as Chu Nian's, she felt like she was in another world and subconsciously murmured: "Nian Nian."
Chu Ci seemed to have returned to the time when Chu Nian was still alive. In this world, Chu Nian was the only one who truly had a sisterly relationship with her. She missed Chu Nian very much and also missed those days.
Chu Ci reached out and hugged Lin Lin: "I miss you so much, sister misses you so much."
Lin Lin stiffened and did not move, letting Chu Ci hug her. Listening to Chu Ci's crying voice, she felt a little guilty in her heart. She remembered that when she first met Chu Ci, Chu Ci actually helped her.
It has taught her a lot, but she has never been satisfied.
Lin Lin said softly: "I'm sorry."
Maybe it was something that touched her heart. At this moment, Lin Lin really felt sorry.
Chu Ci's eyes moved, she regained consciousness, and she let go of Lin Lin.
The face is the same, but the eyes are different.
Chu Ci restrained his emotions and forced a smile: "Are you hungry? I'll give you some takeout."
Lin Lin opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Chu Ci had already turned her back.
Chu Ci ordered takeout for Lin Lin and went back to the room.
In fact, Chu Ci knew that Lin Lin was not Chu Nian, even if there were too many similarities, and even if Lin Lin had evidence of surgery, she believed in her feelings, and her intuition told her that Lin Lin was not.
She knew that Lin Lin had lied to her, but she was still willing to take him back, just to give her something to think about.
The takeaway boy delivered it quickly. Lin Lin used crutches to get the takeaway. She inadvertently caught a glimpse of the car in the yard next door. She stared at the license plate number in a daze, feeling that it was very familiar.
Chu Ci was like a salted fish who didn't want to stand up. He stayed at home every day, basking in the sun with Lin Lin, sleeping in under the quilt, eating only takeaways, and asking the hourly worker to clean the house when it was dirty.
Lin Lin couldn't help but sigh: "It's good to have money. Sister, if you don't want to be the boss anymore, do you have enough money to squander it for a lifetime?"
"Enough." Chu Ci said with a very rich smile: "You can spend more than you can spend in a lifetime, Lin Lin, do you like this kind of life?"
"I like it, I don't have to do anything, I have financial freedom, I can do whatever I want, who doesn't like it." Lin Lin has her own set of principles: "Having money is not about doing what you want to do, but not doing what you don't want to do.
.”
Making money is for "not wanting", not for "wanting". This is the first time Chu Ci has heard such a theory.
Lin Lin walked a few steps into the yard with a cane and took a look at Nan Shu's yard: "Sister, who is your neighbor?"
"What's wrong?" Chu Ci couldn't tell specifically what Nan Shu did.
"Nothing, just asking casually."
Lin Lin did not voice her suspicions. She stared at the car with a license plate number of two nines parked in the yard, and many such blurry images flashed through her mind.
She seemed to have seen this car somewhere.
Chu Ci said: "Mr. Nan Shu is a very powerful person. Don't provoke him."
"I know." Lin Lin smiled and said: "Sister, you are afraid that I will fall in love with him."
"Isn't it strange that you like him? Nan Shu has such charm." Chu Ci said with a smile: "But don't blame me for pouring cold water on you, he must not like you."
Lin Lin is not angry, she knows her own value. Even if her views are a little distorted now, she still has this self-knowledge.
"He went out for several days and didn't come back. He was so mysterious." Lin Lin curled her lips and said, "He can rest assured that he left his girlfriend at home."
"Girlfriend?" Chu Ci was puzzled.
"Don't Mr. Nan Shu have a girlfriend? I saw a woman come out of the house last night, throw away the trash and go back in." Lin Lin said, "Although it was dark and blurry, judging from her figure, she must be a big woman."
Beauty."
Chu Ci frowned slightly: "Lin Lin, Mr. Nan Shu has always lived alone."
"But I clearly saw it."
The two looked at each other. Lin Lin rubbed her arms and felt a chill on her neck: "Sister, don't scare me. Could it be that what I saw last night wasn't... a person?"
"I don't know what you saw. I only know that Nan Shu does live alone." Chu Ci was also confused. She had never seen any woman enter Nan Shu's home.
Speaking of women, Chu Ci remembered that when Nan Shu was away from Beicheng, one time Nan Shu's house was robbed, and what she saw was also a woman.
"Sister, I really saw it. If you don't believe it, I caught it at night and showed you."
Lin Lin was very scared. The only way to eliminate her fear was to confirm whether there was really someone there.
As soon as it got dark, Lin Lin stayed in the yard, staring at the house opposite. Chu Ci waited with her for a while. She was too sleepy, so she went back to her room to rest.
Lin Lin kept watching, her eyes almost squinting, and her head moving bit by bit.
The night wind blew by, and Lin Lin felt cold all over, and she shuddered and woke up.
Realizing that she almost fell asleep, Lin Lin quickly slapped her face to wake her up.
At this time, a figure suddenly flashed in front of her eyes. Lin Lin rubbed her eyes and saw a long-haired woman walking out of Nan Shu's house, feeling very energetic.
In the middle of the night, a long-haired woman walked sneakily with her head lowered, and the surroundings were so quiet that it made people's hair stand on end.
Lin Lin swallowed, subduing the fear in her heart and followed the long-haired woman.
The long-haired woman was holding a bag of bulging things in her hand, and liquid was dripping down on the ground. Lin Lin felt curious, so she knelt down and took a closer look. It was too dark to see clearly, so she stretched out her finger.
I got a little bit of it and looked at it before my eyes. I was so frightened that my face immediately turned pale, I screamed, and I fell to the ground.
