Mental hospitals are simple rooms with nothing but beds. Because some mentally ill patients have aggressive or self-mutilating behaviors, their hands will be tied and they will smile silly when they see people, or they will
Hysterical shouting...
Li Xiaochen is not an aggressive patient, so he can occasionally get time to relax. Sitting on the green lawn, his originally smooth hair is now messy, and he looks extremely thin and haggard in a white hospital gown. A silly hospital room
.
She lowered her head and grabbed the grass and counted them carefully one by one. Every time she counted to nine, she would start counting from the beginning again. Silan sat next to her and looked at her for half an hour. She suddenly didn't know, immersed in her own thoughts.
in the world.
The doctor said that she was gang-raped and tortured in prison, which led to mental disorder, that is, she went crazy.
There is little chance of recovery, not to mention that she is a prisoner sentenced to life imprisonment.
"One blade of grass...two blades of grass..."
She lowered her head and counted seriously, murmuring like a child who knew nothing about the world.
"A good psychiatrist can disguise himself as a mental patient without being suspected by anyone." Slan said to herself, staring at her side face intently, believing that she would understand what he was saying.
What.
"You will be very angry if you are betrayed by your brother and the people around you. It is much easier to escape from a mental hospital than from a prison, isn't it?"
"Who do you want to kill? Li Mingzhe or me..."
"Nine roots of grass... one blade of grass..."
Li Xiaochen counted carefully, not reacting at all to Si Lan's words. His long curly eyelashes cast a green shadow, and he focused on the green grass in front of him, meticulously.
"You will not let me go easily, nor will you let go of anyone who has hurt you. Li Xiaochen, the Li family has fallen. You did not destroy my will, so you lose. Stop it! I will never see you again.
...You should also stop doing some futile things. Otherwise...I will never forgive you!"
Si Lan finished his sentence, stood up and clapped his hands.
He was not afraid of anything except that Li Xiaochen would hurt the people around him again.
But the loser in this game is Li Xiaochen, what else can she do? Even if she pretends to be a psychopath, she can't do anything.
"Five roots of grass...six roots of grass..." The fingers with white bones and clear bones, the blue meridians were looming, the voice was still so dull, and a hint of coldness flashed quickly in the dark eyes that had been bowing their heads...
A sinful smile curved her lips...
***
The next day's newspaper headlines read that a patient in a mental hospital was missing, and that night a fire broke out in a residential complex, killing three people and injuring several others...
The ones who died were none other than Yan Ya, Fang Yan, and Li Xiaochen who ran away from the mental hospital.
Silan looked at the photos in the newspaper, and a chill ran down his spine. He knew that Li Xiaochen was deliberately pretending to be crazy and waiting for an opportunity. He originally thought that her target would be him, so he specifically told Lan Yunsheng to be more careful to protect Helianze, and even
Even Lan Ruixiuslan had said hello, but she didn't expect that her targets were actually Yan Ya and Fang Yan.
I didn't expect that she would take away the lives of two people at the same time in such a tragic way as "died together", without even caring about other people in the community.
Li Xiaochen is a madman, a complete madman.
When Silan put down the newspaper, the secretary pushed in and put down a package, "President, your package."
--pack?
Silan was confused. He didn't order anything, and he didn't hear who ordered what for him. Where did the package come from?
Seeing her hesitation, the secretary said, "Why don't you let me open it."
"No need." Slan waved her hand to let her out.
After the secretary left, Silan looked at the package carefully and weighed it in his hand. It was not heavy and what it was. He picked up a utility knife and cut open the packaging carton. There was a CD in the center of the box.
Silan put the CD into the optical drive without hesitation. There was only one video in the file.
When she clicked on the video, the person who appeared on the screen was none other than Lan Sichen. The iron box he was holding was exactly the same as the box Ning Mo was holding, and he even walked into the same bank.
My heart tightened suddenly, my mind became increasingly confused, and I had no idea what was going on.
Why is it that the box in Lan Sichen's hand is exactly the same as Ning Mo's, or even the same box, but why can Ning Mo get Lan Sichen's box?
In the video, Lan Sichen's handsome face is as handsome as before, his eyes are cold and cold, his fingers are green and white and his bones are clear; he is walking on slender and powerful legs, with outstanding heroic appearance and charming charm.
I can’t remember how long it has been since I saw this person. The bridal shop he once bought was transferred to Lan Sichen’s name earlier. The photos in the closet only show her...
Occasionally when I pass that road and see that photo, I can always remember the way he stood in front of the window and stared at the photo...
These things seem to have passed a long time ago, but when I think about them, it seems like just yesterday.
Si Lan really thought that he no longer remembered this person, until his appearance appeared in front of his eyes again, and he suddenly realized that he had never forgotten him.
There is even a very funny feeling.
He seemed to have never left.
Always there.
***
Night Rain City.
Silan stood outside the bar for a long time, hesitating whether he should go in or not. If he hadn't seen Lan Sichen in the video, maybe Silan wouldn't want to know Ning Mo's secret; but when Lan Sichen was involved, the thoughts in his mind
My nerves seem to be blocked, and it seems that if I don’t understand it, I won’t be able to eat or sleep...
I couldn't even breathe normally.
What was the previous relationship between Lan Sichen and Xu Ningmo?
The iron box contains secrets, and Slan really wants to know, but is afraid that opening Pandora's box will push everyone into hell.
"You've been standing here for a long time. What's the matter? Or are you looking for someone?" The woman walked out, her long hair hanging down like a waterfall, a cigarette butt between her fingertips, her cold eyes staring at Si Lan without any malice, she just noticed her.
I stood outside for a long time.
"I'm looking for——" Silan hesitated for a long time and then said: "Xu Bunuan."
"A-Nuan?" The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, "A-Nuan has returned to New York. What do you want to see her for?"
"She once said that I can come to her if I need anything, but I lost the business card she gave me...so...forget it, I won't disturb your business, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Si Lan turned around and left. Unexpectedly, the strange woman left so quickly.
"Wait a minute." The woman called to Si Lan.
Si Lan turned around and looked at her with puzzled eyes...
The woman smiled helplessly and shook her hair, "Since Ah Nuan gave you her business card to show that she is not wary of you, if you want anything to do with her, tell me directly and I will contact her. Is that okay?"
Si Lan hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Come in and have a drink." The woman smiled seductively.
It was dusk at the moment, and customers were filling the bar one after another, sitting down to order drinks. Silan sat at the bar, looking back at the scene in front of him, which was indescribably weird.
"Are you wondering why they are all men?" The woman handed her a glass of wine. The light blue liquid swayed in the glass, which was particularly beautiful.
Slan nodded.
The woman supported her chin and stared at her clear pupils, her smile getting thicker, "Because this is a gay bar!"
Si Lanke: "That's not warm..." Could it be the owner of the bar?
"She is one of the shareholders of this bar. I was traveling with my lover before, and she happened to be bored and panicked and ran to check out the bar." This woman was none other than Jiang Ning, another owner of Yeyu City.
"What do you want from An Nuan?" Let's get back to the topic.
"She said -" Silan hesitated for a few seconds and lowered his voice, "she said she could steal something for me, as long as I pay her."
Jiang Ning was quite surprised, "Ah Nuan has quit working for many years, but I didn't expect that I would come back to work for you! If the man named Cheng knew about it, he would probably want to kill you." It's not that Ah Nuan wants to wash his hands in a golden basin, it's actually Cheng Qinghan.
The control is too strict and she is not allowed to do anything dangerous.
"Should the money be given now, or should I pay a deposit? Or transfer it?"
Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile, "What an honest kid."
Slan coughed again, "I'm already twenty-five."
"Did An Nuan tell you the price?"
"One hundred thousand."
This time Jiang Ning coughed and stared at Si Lan strangely, "Is Ah Nuan crazy because of poverty? You can earn 100,000 yuan!" She had no interest in the previous orders that were less than 10 million yuan.
"I will tell Nuan for you! When will you need the things?"
"Within three days!" Because Ning Mo will be back in three days, and he needs to get the things before Ning Mo comes back. "Money?"
The more Jiang Ning looked at Si Lan, the more interesting he became, "Forget it! Ah Nuan is not short of pocket money at all. She just really wants to help you, and she doesn't want you to feel that you owe her, so she asks you for money."
Si Lan looked stunned. He didn't expect that the woman seemed so heartless, but her thoughts were so delicate, intelligent and wise.
"May I know who you are?"
"Taoyaoyao." Jiang Ning answered her casually, seeing Si Lan's puzzled face, "Looking at your clothes, you should be a white-collar elite. You probably don't read Taoyaoyao's bloody romance novels! But Ah Nuan's
The stories are all written in her writing. Although many people think they are just stories, in fact many things are the real experiences of our group. Of course, you can also just take it as it is.
Let’s read the story and just pass the time..." (Author: That’s right! The young master is doing this for advertising. Haha! The story about Xu Bunuan is in "Police|Bandit|Communist|Bed: Wife Does All Evil" About Tao
Readers who have not read Yaoyao's story in "Debt Collection Xiaobao: Pay My Mommy Ten Dollars" can read it. It is lighthearted and funny, different from the boring, complicated and gloomy ex-wives of rich families.)
"Thank you, thank you for the wine, it's delicious!" Silan liked the wine she made. It had a light aroma, was sweet and slightly cool, and felt very comfortable in the mouth.
"You're welcome, you are welcome to come often... I can give you a discount on drinks!" Jiang Ning was rarely generous. On weekdays, A Nuan would charge the original price of drinks when he came to drink.
Silan left Yeyu City and walked on the dimly lit streets. People were coming and going, and there was a huge crowd, but he was a little at a loss and didn't know where to go.
Ning Mo was not here, and the house was so deserted and empty. When he returned home, he faced the desertion alone. Silan was afraid of the darkness and desertion, as if even the air would freeze into ice.
At this moment, Helianze must be by Lan Yunsheng's side and does not want to disturb her.
Ji Fengwen and Lin Jiu also have people they want to accompany. As for Lan Ruixiu... forget it, it turns out that except for Ning Mo, there are no lonely people in this city who can accompany him and drive him away.
Passing by a bookstore, Si Lan stopped and thought about Jiang Ning's words, then turned around and walked in.
"Excuse me, do you have any books about Tao Yaoyao?"
"She! There is... wait, I'll get it for you!" The bookstore staff went to the bookshelf and took out two books and handed them to her, "Her books are really ridiculous and nonsensical, but they are good as jokes..."
Si Lan pulled his lips with a forced smile, paid, took the book and returned to his deserted home. He habitually turned on all the lights in the house, including the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom...
Sitting on the sofa with a blanket, flipping through Tao Yaoyao's book, the language is humorous and nonsensical. At first, I didn't think there was anything strange about it, but the further I read, the more interesting it became. Especially the pictures that describe it.
It's like a Hollywood blockbuster, it has everything, especially Xu Bunuan can always do some incredible things.
I think of that woman in my mind, she is as bright as a flower, her bright eyes are more beautiful than diamonds, she is exquisite...
Are all these things true?
Si Lan closed the book and rubbed his tired eyes. The phone flashed and it was Ning Mo's call.
"Have you rested?" The low and hoarse voice on the other end of the phone couldn't hide the longing.
"Not yet." Silan curled up on the sofa, looking around the empty house, feeling increasingly lonely inside.
I don't like being so clean, with only my own breath, gurgling and weak.
The sound of Xu Ningmo's breathing came through the radio waves, soothing her inner uneasiness and fear, "I'll be back soon, don't worry. Eat on time, don't make your stomach hurt from hunger."
He was worried that she would faint at home from hunger again and no one would know.
"Xu Ningmo, you are so annoying, really annoying..." Si Lan's low voice sounded as if it had turned into ashes.
Even though they were separated by a coast, he was on the other side of the sea and he was on this side of the sea. Yet he had to remind her carefully on the phone about such trivial matters as eating and sleeping, and he was so gentle and indulgent that he couldn't be forgiven.
You see, isn’t it very annoying?
Xu Ningmo chuckled and said in a doting tone: "Okay, be good, be good. You are destined to be annoyed by me for the rest of your life."
"Not necessarily. You can't tell if I'll marry someone else in the future. I'll bother others and let's see how you bother me!"
"Who else in this world would dare to marry you?" Xu Ningmo was not annoyed. He was extremely patient with her, so much so that he wanted to give her all his internal organs.
Si Lan smiled, "Why doesn't anyone dare?"
"I will kill whoever marries you." Xu Ningmo's voice was very soft, as gentle as water.
Asi, how can I safely leave your happiness in the hands of others? Therefore, I cannot, cannot watch you marry someone else.
Since fate has entrusted your happiness to me, then let me protect your happiness, just me, okay?
Although Si Lan was annoyed, he said in a soft voice: "Ning Mo, it's unreasonable not to take you with me. If you don't want to marry, why don't you allow others to marry?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and there seemed to be a sigh, which seemed to be nothing. Silan suspected that he was hallucinating, but his voice came one after another, "If only we were not us..."
At this moment, can I tell you that we are in love and let's get married?
Marry me, it's me, not Xu Ningmo.
Si Lan smiled, "Ning Mo, if we weren't us, what would we be?"
Yes! If you weren't Si Lan, and if I wasn't Xu Ningmo, you wouldn't be talking to me so kindly at this moment; if it weren't for Xu Ningmo's face, you would be stingy about even looking at me...
People are really strange. It was Lan Sichen who couldn't be with her. When he became Xu Ningmo, he could finally be with her, but he still thought that the person she fell in love with was her real self, not this name.
This last name, this face...
It’s just that Lan Sichen, in this world, I have both peace and harmony, and I will live up to the Tathagata and live up to you.
***Next day.
Jiang Ning called Si Lan. Ah Nuan had rushed back from New York overnight. It would take some time to rest and investigate the bank environment. He would definitely hand over the things to her within three days.
Silan faxed Xu Ningmo's information to her and couriered a card to Yeyu City.
I hope Xu Bunuan can successfully get the things before Ning Mo comes back, and even more hope that she won't get hurt or have an accident.
Li Mingzhe asked Si Lan to have dinner, but Si Lan refused, so Li Mingzhe invited Si Lan as a partner. Business entertainment must not let Si Lan refuse.
Si Lan didn't know that the person who wanted to cooperate with the company was Li Mingzhe. When he went to the box and saw his half-smiling look, he suddenly realized that when he turned to leave, he was stopped by him first.
Li Mingzhe smiled evilly, "How can I say that I have helped you? Is it so difficult for you to have a meal with me? Or...are you afraid of what I will do to you?"
"I just don't think there is any need for any interaction between Mr. Li and I." Si Lan's expression was cold and cold, and Li Xiaochen made her uneasy.
That CD was probably a gift given to him by Li Xiaochen before his death. He didn't understand why someone named Li had to be in trouble with him.
"Li Xiaochen's death is not enough to make you feel at ease?"
Si Lan's face darkened and she raised her head to stare at him in surprise, "Did you kill Li Xiaochen? You can even do it to your own sister!"
Li Mingzhe smiled indifferently, "Don't look at me like that. I'm not so cruel as to even attack my own sister. However, I can guess a little bit about her thoughts, so I can help her."
"People in the Li family are all lunatics." Si Lan gritted his teeth. He originally thought that the fire was just Li Xiaochen's work, but he didn't expect that Li Mingzhe also contributed to it.
Li Mingzhe sneered, "You are right, the Li family are all lunatics, thank you for your compliment. Xiaochen's favorite man was snatched away by his cousin. Xiaochen wanted to die with the man he loved most, but
A love triangle would be meaningless without a third party. I am kind enough to help the three of them so that they will not be lonely on the road to hell..."
A wave of annoyance surged into his heart, and Si Lan tried his best to suppress it, saying simply and concisely: "Get out of the way."
Li Mingzhe stood still and said, "Lance, I just want to treat you to a meal." He looked kind and cheerful. He had never been so patient with any woman in his life.
"Facing your face, let alone food and water, I can't swallow it!" Si Lan showed no mercy.
"Then I'll feed you..." Li Mingzhe smiled instead of being annoyed, especially because the sound of the word "feeding" was pronounced very hard.
This man is even more shameless than Lan Ruixiu.
"Don't worry, there are no aphrodisiacs in the food, and I won't make you drink. Just have a meal like ordinary friends." Li Mingzhe pushed Si Lan to the table.
Si Lan's eyes flashed with a hint of laughter, "Do you believe there is pure friendship between men and women?"
"I don't believe it." Li Mingzhe answered neatly and without thinking. "But this is not inconsistent with what I just said. Any relationship evolves and develops from ordinary friends, right?"
"If Li Xiaochen is an excellent psychiatrist, you will be an excellent philosopher."
"Thank you for the compliment! But for a businessman like me who is full of copper odor, I even despise myself, and I am afraid that everyone will despise me even more! Besides, it is the responsibility of Bodhisattva Jesus to save all sentient beings, and I am not that kind."
Li Mingzhe had people prepare the dishes earlier, and as he said he didn't know how to drink wine, he ordered freshly squeezed juice for Si Lan.
Silan had a poor appetite, especially when faced with Li Mingzhe's face. Facing a table full of rich food, he rarely moved his chopsticks.
Li Mingzhe drank red wine alone, smiling like a spring breeze, staring at Si Lan, and said quietly, "I don't know if you have ever heard of a famous saying. Concessions that cover up the truth will only keep people away from the truth."
"Aristotle." Slan said the famous man's name without hesitation, "It's just that his words smell a little more coppery when they come out of your mouth."
"Haha!" Li Mingzhe couldn't help laughing, "I really appreciate you more and more! I just like your sharp look, but that man wants to tame you into a docile and obedient house cat."
Si Lan also smiled, but his smile was a little more distant and indifferent, "What do I look like and what does it have to do with you?"
"If someone changes what I like, I will naturally be unhappy. If I am unhappy, I will definitely do something."
"What do you want to do?" Slan asked straight to the point.
"I just hope that you will show the same determination and determination you had towards the Lan family instead of being a coward." Li Mingzhe lowered his eyes, narrowing his eyes slightly with a cold light.
Silan said, "Why...why do you have to force me?"
This is the confusion lingering in my heart, and I still can't find the answer.
Li Xiaochen is like this, Lan Ruixiu is like this... I think even Li Mingzhe is like this.
Why does everyone force themselves to face things they don't want to face? Why can no one tell themselves, Silan, you don't have to know, just live your life happily.
Why, but not.
Li Mingzhe smiled particularly sinisterly, "Maybe only when I see you living an unhappy life will I feel happy."
"Neuropathy."
"Thank you for the compliment."
***
"This is the DNA report of Lan Yunsheng and Xu Ningmo. They have no blood relationship."
Lan Ruixiu took the report, his eyes became darker and darker. This report had overturned all his previous conjectures, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"Are you sure this report is true and has not been tampered with?"
The man nodded firmly, "Yes."
"You go, I want to be alone for a while. The investigation continues..." Lan Ruixiu waved his hand and asked him to leave.
