Chapter 144 The truth is revealed(1/2)

Just when Shangguan Nan was nervous and thought that Fang Zhiqi had an accident again, Fang Zhiqi spoke.

"Nan, I'm here."

Hearing her voice, Shangguan Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

"How are you?"

"I...will do that!"

I wanted to say that she was not good at all, but when the words came to my mouth, Fang Zhiqi swallowed again. She didn't want to worry him or cause trouble for him.

"When you called, I was in a meeting and my phone fell into the office." Shangguan Nan explained for fear that she would misunderstand.

"oh!"

At this time, Shangguan Nan was both secretly happy and upset. What was happy was that Fang Zhiqi finally called him on his own initiative, but what was annoying was that he forgot to bring his phone with him.

It was from this time that Shangguan Nan had never left his cell phone, and he even took a shower with him.

"You are very busy these days, aren't you?" Fang Zhiqi asked.

"I'm very busy! I'll go see you when I finish this."

Fang Zhiqi did not forget to remind him: "Then you should pay attention to your body, especially your stomach, remember to eat!"

Shangguan Nan felt sweet, "Okay, I will listen to you! You should also have a good meal, a good rest, and miss me!"

"Yeah! Then I'll die, I won't disturb your work anymore!"

"Is your son okay?" Shangguan Nan asked suddenly.

Fang Zhiqi paused and wondered: Did he still know that the child had returned to Shangguan’s house? Did he not go back, or did Shangguan Zhengde hide the child?

Fang Zhiqi asked tentatively: "Did you live in the company all the time?"

"How do you know? It seems that we are 'a phoenix with no colorful wings, and a little bit of harmony'!" Shangguan Nan smiled and said in a genius.

Fang Zhiqi immediately understood, but said, "Yes! We have a good understanding of each other!"

"Qi, I miss you!" Shangguan Nan said emotionally.

Fang Zhiqi replied silently in her heart: "I miss you too!"

Then, suddenly thought of the Hongfa Temple and asked, "Is the collapse of Hongfa Temple related to the appearance I designed at the beginning?"

"No, if the inner structure is designed according to your appearance, it may not collapse!" Shangguan Nan sighed.

Although it has not been found out, and there is something wrong with the design drawings provided by the monk, Shangguan Nan is very sure that it is the problem with the design drawings.

Fang Zhiqi felt relieved when she heard that it was not because of her drawings. For several days, the erosion that had been suppressing her chest finally disappeared. However, what followed was full of worries about him.

"So have you found out the specific reason?" Fang Zhiqi asked.

"Not yet! There is no problem with the building materials, and no problem with the workers. I suspect it is the design drawing, but after reading it for a few days, I just couldn't see the clues. Alas!" Shangguan Nan sighed again.

Fang Zhiqi's heart also raised high. She had never seen Shangguan Nan sigh like this. It seemed that this time the matter was very difficult.

“Is the drawing complicated?”

"Well! It's a grand design!"

"Then ask the drawing designer and see what he says."

"He's gone!"

Fang Zhiqi was suspicious, "If he could design so magnificently, he must be a bit famous in the architectural design industry, how could he not find it?"

"When he came to present me with design drawings, he dressed as a monk and claimed to be an abbot, but the vice president met him in a nightclub."

"It's very strange, as if you're approaching deliberately! Nan, draw his avatar and find an old abbot who is a little famous to ask." Fang Zhiqi suggested.

"Okay, just do what you said! Oh, is your son okay?" Shangguan Nan asked the child again.

In order for him to work with peace of mind and solve the collapse of Hongfa Temple as soon as possible, Fang Zhiqi decided not to tell him that Shangguan Zhengde had taken the child away.

"The child is very good, you can work with peace of mind! I'm dead, goodbye!"

After saying that, Fang Zhiqi immediately hung up the phone, afraid that Shangguan Nan would say he would listen to the child's voice.

I used to want him to comfort myself, but now she has made it her point to him. However, even though I didn't talk about her with him, after chatting with him for a while, she felt much better.

Shangguan Nan was in a very good mood, and all his worries and fatigue disappeared instantly. He put down his phone, picked up the pencil, and began to draw the person's avatar while recalling the memory.

...

Early the next morning

Shangguan Nan drove to Nanmen Temple all the way. If you ask who the most famous abbot in S City is, it must be the abbot of Nanmen Temple.

Shangguan Nan thought about it for a long time last night and felt that he had to look for the abbot of Nanmen Temple. One reason was that Shangguan Zhengde framed his parents and needed to get more detailed things from the abbot's mouth; the other reason was that he had a wide connection, especially the situation in various temples, which he knew almost clearly.

Two hours later, Nanmen Temple arrived.

After climbing the 2,999-story stone steps, Shangguan Nan saw at a glance what the abbot and a worshiper were saying.

Shangguan Nan tightened the sketch avatar on his hand and the design drawings of Hongfa Temple and walked towards the abbot.

"Amitabha"

The abbot stood in front of his chest with one palm, and plucked the Buddhist beads with his left hand. When he saw Shangguan Nan, he nodded slightly.

"Amitabha, abbot, can I talk to you privately?" Shangguan Nan clasped his hands together.

"Donor, please come with me!"

Shangguan Nan followed the abbot and walked along a tree-lined path to his Zen room.

"Donor, please sit down!" The abbot raised his hand to the cushion on one side and signaled Shangguan Nan to sit down.

Shangguan Nan sat down cross-legged on the cushion, and the two looked at each other again. This scene was the same as last year's day.

The abbot looked at Shangguan Nan carefully and found that his eyes were as dark as last year, as deep as the bottom of a pool, making people unable to see through it. The "hate" was still there, but today there was one more thing, that was "anxious".

"I wonder what the donor is looking for me?" The abbot pulled out the Buddhist beads in his hand and asked calmly.

Shangguan Nan didn't bother to look at the abbot, and quickly spread the portrait in his hand and placed it in front of the abbot.

"Have the abbot met this person?"

The abbot held the portrait and stared for a long time. Because he lowered his head, Shangguan Nan could not see the expression on his face, but only felt his brows frowning.

"Did the abbot remember something?" Shangguan Nan asked anxiously.

The abbot looked up, his face became natural again, and he handed the portrait to Shangguan Nan. After pondering for a moment, he asked:

"I know this person. What do you want to know?"

"The abbot should know the collapse of Hongfa Temple during the construction process, right?"

The abbot nodded.

Shangguan Nan spread the drawings and said, "This is the design drawings of Hongfa Temple, and its designer is the person on the portrait."

A trace of nervousness finally flashed across the abbot's calm face, "Does the donor think the collapse of Hongfa Temple is related to this drawing?"

“That’s right!”

"I'll take a look at this design drawing first!"

The abbot avoided talking about the man and said directly that he wanted to look at the drawings. Shangguan Nan always felt that the abbot seemed to be hiding something. He caught the nervousness on the abbot's face just now.

What exactly did he know? That person should be very familiar with him, right?

Shangguan Nan stared straight at the abbot who looked down at the painting, trying to see something abnormal from him.

After a while, the abbot slowly raised his head, looked at Shangguan Nan who was looking at him, and said calmly:

"If I tell you the problem with this design drawing, can the donor let that designer go?"

Shangguan Nan was stunned for a moment. He looked at it for several days but couldn't see the problem. However, it took only twenty minutes for the abbot to find the loophole. This abbot is too profound and unfathomable!

But when he heard the words behind, Shangguan Nan was furious.

"Why should he let him go? Because of his fault, two people have died and eight people have been injured. Shouldn't he accept the punishment he deserves?"

If he can forgive him for making a mistake, then what about the people who died because of him? Do they deserve to go to the underworld?

But why did Haina Group pay for his mistake in the end?

"Amitabha! The main thing is to blame me! It's all my fault. I will save all living beings for the dead!" The abbot said with apologies.

"Why did the abbot say this? Could it be that you drew this drawing?" Shangguan Nan frowned and asked with anger.

The abbot shook his head, "No, this drawing was not drawn by me. For this drawing, he once came to me."

"What? Is there still your share in it?" Shangguan Nan was disbelief.

"At that time, he asked me many questions, one of which was how to prevent collapse. I didn't know the darkness of his mind at that time, and I didn't know that what he was going to design was Hongfa Temple. The problem is that there is a crucial pillar here. Although there are many small pillars around, the large pillar in the middle cannot be missing. The internal gravity of the second and third floors must be supported by this pillar. Without this pillar, even if there are many small pillars around, it will be useless."

Shangguan Nan suddenly realized that he had been looking at it for a long time but couldn't see it. It turned out that he was deceived by the small pillars around him.

"There are faults and debts, and the masters! Abbot, tell me where is he? What's his name?"

After knowing the truth of the matter, Shangguan Nan understood that the main responsibility for the matter was not on the abbot.
