"Hello."

The phone was connected after four tones, and Hai Manzhi's voice came through.

Zhan Lianshi stood up and came to the balcony, "Xu Ping should have told you about the Jinfeng clan."

"Well, he said it."

The sound of scissors pruning flower branches came from the phone, slowly and softly.

There is no trace of impatience, or even neatness.

"I want to ask you something."

"you say."

"Did you live the year Lin Mingyue disappeared?"

Zhan Lianshi had thought about this question a long time ago, but because it was not the right time, he did not ask it.

Now that everything was figured out, it was time for him to ask.

When Hai Manzhi heard these words, she stopped pruning the flower branches.

She raised her eyes and looked into the distance, her eyes becoming distant and soft.

As if she remembered something, the breath on her whole body became warm.

Putting the scissors aside, she took the wet wipe and wiped the dirt off her hands. She acted as if she had just pruned a flower branch, so unhurriedly.

And her words came out in this unhurried movement.

"I like Mingyue. She has a good temperament, a nice person, and is kind."

"In my heart, I treat her like a daughter."

"She trusts me and is very smart."

"Before what happened, we were in contact as usual and met occasionally."

"But after Liu Yuwen's accident, she stopped contacting me."

"I knew her well. In this case, it was only possible that something had happened to her. After I couldn't contact her, I went to find her. Unexpectedly, she fell ill and fainted at home."

"I took her to the hospital and that's when I learned she was pregnant."

"At that time, she had just learned that she was pregnant."

"She looked very bad at the time, as if she had suffered a huge blow. At that time, I heard that a group of people from the archaeological team was missing. Looking at her appearance, I guessed who it was."

"I know that she and Liu Yuwen are in love."

"She was quiet for a long time and didn't speak."

"She just lay in the hospital bed all day long without saying a word. If the doctor hadn't told her that she would not be able to keep the baby in her belly if she continued like this, she wouldn't have cheered up."

"At that time, I thought she was like this because of Liu Yuwen's accident, but later she told me that the place where Liu Yuwen disappeared was different from the place Liu Yuwen told her, and I realized that the matter was not simple."

"She noticed it. Liu Yuwen is afraid it's not an accident."

"She wants to find Liu Yuwen and want to know whether Liu Yuwen is dead or alive."

"But her body was too weak at the time, and it was difficult for her to bear the shock of pregnancy and Liu Yuwen's disappearance."

"But even so, she calmed down."

"She said she had to leave."

"For the sake of the child in her belly, she has to leave where she is now. No one can know that she needs to give birth to the child and then go find Liu Yuwen."

"She wants the truth."

"She looks quiet and weak, but in fact she is very strong. Once she makes a decision, she will not change it."

"I told her to go abroad and I could arrange everything, but she didn't want to. She said she wanted to stay in the country and go to a place where no one could be found."

"She asked me to help her and get her out of the hospital and live in a place temporarily."

"At that time, I had an empty house that I didn't live in, so I arranged for her to move in and hired a private doctor from abroad to take care of her."

"During that time, she told me all the traces of Liu Yuwen before he disappeared, and I also sent people to inquire about the situation at that time."

"I didn't expect that everything about Liu Yuwen's disappearance was different from what Mingyue said. Both the investigation results and the reported results were completely different from what she said."

"We all know that this matter is not ordinary and complicated, and the people behind it are even more extraordinary."

"She is in danger, and so is the child in her belly."

"Originally, she planned to give the child to the Liu family after she was born, but in that situation, she didn't dare."

"She was afraid, afraid that her children would also be implicated."

"She didn't dare take any chances."

"So, after a month of raising the baby, she left after the baby in her belly was stable."

"In order to prevent me from being implicated, she also cut off contact with me, but I told her that she would find a way to have a phone call with me every month to let me know that she was safe."

"She agreed."

"She would talk to me on the phone once every month, and the number she called was different every time."

"She is very cautious and careful."

Having said this, Hai Manzhi paused.

At this moment, her eyes became cold, heavy, and even angry.

These emotions suddenly came out, breaking her usual peace.

Because what she says next will be very heavy.

When Zhan Lian heard the sudden silence on his phone, he knew that Lin Mingyue's death was not far away.

He died shortly after giving birth.

Such a result is a fact that no one can change.

His eyes dropped, silently.

For some things, hearing it once, twice, or three times will not change the pain it brings.

No matter how many times it happens, that depressing feeling will never go away.

After a while, Hai Manzhi's eyes became calm, and she continued: "The last call I received from her was after she gave birth. She said that the baby was born and looked like Liu Yuwen. She was very happy and sad at the same time."

"She is happy that she and Liu Yuwen have their daughter. This is proof that she and Liu Yuwen love each other, but she is also sad that the child will be born without a father."

"She said she didn't know if it was good or bad for the child."

"But she couldn't bear to have her. After knowing the existence of the child, she wanted to give birth to her."

"No matter what, they are their children."

"But she was in pain after birth. She said she could feel that the baby would be very painful in the future, and she didn't know what to do."

"I could feel her pain then."

"I don't want her and the child to suffer. I want her to take the child abroad. I will investigate Liu Yuwen's matter."

"She didn't want to because she was afraid of hurting me. She has always been a kind child."

"She said that she would send Lin Lian to her brother's house and ask his sister-in-law to help her take care of the child while she went to investigate the truth."

"As long as Liu Yuwen is found, she will have a way for the Liu family to investigate and find out the truth."

"This way she and her children have a chance of survival."

"She asked me not to see the child or look for the child, just pretend that I didn't know this matter existed."

"No one knows that Lin Lian exists."

"At the same time, she also asked me to do something to erase the traces of Lin Lian's existence so that no one would know of Lin Lian's existence."

"At least don't let Lin Yan be exposed until the Liu family knows the truth."

"She was afraid that those people would kill Lin Lian."

"She is really smart. She has thought about everything and calculated everything. She may even... know that she will die."

"I wanted to stop her and take her and the child away. She said she must know the truth."

"She has to fight."

"If we try hard, maybe both of us will survive. At least, Lin Lian will survive."

"If we don't fight, both she and Lin Lian may die, and even more people may be implicated."

"She doesn't want to."

"She was prepared to die so that Lin Lian could be saved."

"She made a decision to cut off all contact with me."

"When I found out the news again, she had already..." Hai Manzhi didn't say any more, because the outcome was already determined.
