In the evening, Xi Xiangdong drove her to the restaurant she had made an appointment with Tong Leyan. On the way, Shen Ke kept holding Xi Xiangdong's hand, and his palms were wet because of nervousness.
Xi Xiangdong got out of the car with her and kissed her on the forehead: "Don't be nervous, just call me if you need anything."
The restaurant is a very antique Chinese-style club. Because he was going to meet Mr. Tong, Shen Ke also dressed up a little and changed into a well-fitting suit, making him look glamorous.
The huge restaurant was gorgeous and empty, with not a single customer at the table. Manager Shen Keke came up to greet her and asked, "Is your restaurant closed to the public?"
The manager replied: "Mr. Tong shows his concern and has reserved the restaurant. Miss Shen can rest assured to dine."
That makes Shen Ke even more uneasy! She never thinks that she is important enough to ask Tong Jiansheng to book the venue for her!
Shen Ke raised his head and saw that Tong Leyan was sitting at a round table with an old man not far away, looking towards the entrance.
As soon as he saw himself, the old man even stood up excitedly. Tong Leyan came over to pick her up with a smile: "Dad, she's here."
Shen Ke gradually approached, thinking about how to introduce herself to the leader in the business world. However, she didn't say a word. The old man in Chinese Tang suit already made a surprised voice: "Keke... you are Keke..."
Shen Ke suddenly froze when he was halfway there.
Time blows back like a strong wind in the wilderness, and the memories in my mind fly back like arrows.
Shen Ke seemed to be back in that dream again, but the person sitting on the window sill was no longer her four-year-old self, but the current her. She watched expressionlessly as her father was thrown into the sky by the car. The blood stains spread for several meters, and she ran back The painful Zhong Lan beside his father, and the man who jumped into the car in panic and never paused again...
The memory is like an eternal stone carving, deeply imprinted in her mind.
Several times, Shen Ke felt that she didn't see the man who was running away in a hurry at all. Moreover, she was still so young, and even if she saw it, she would have forgotten it. It turned out that she remembered it so clearly that she recognized him as soon as she saw him in reality. Come out!
She thought of the photo of a woman in a cheongsam that Tong Leyan showed her. How could she forget that that cheongsam was cremated with her father's body?
She saw that Tong Jiansheng's face was still energetic and not showing signs of age. Fortunately, he had been well taken care of and had not changed at all from more than twenty years ago, so she recognized him at a glance!
Shen Ke slowly came back to his senses and asked Tong Jiansheng slowly, word by word: "One night twenty-three years ago, did you go to the Qianfeng Road alley?"
Before Tong Jiansheng's surprised look could be recovered, Shen Ke's anger rose sharply, and questions came one after another: "Did you drive to elope with a woman named Zhong Lan, but you were discovered by her husband and fled in the car?" He accidentally hit someone to death on the way and then drove away?"
Tong Jiansheng's face instantly turned white.
Tong Leyan stood up and pulled Shen Ke: "Keke, sit down first. Dad invited you here today because he has something to say."
Shen Ke glanced at him lightly, and there was regret and pleading on his handsome young face, as well as an emotion she couldn't explain clearly.
Shen Ke withdrew his hand, pulled out the chair, and sat down with his arms folded: "Okay, I'll listen to what you, a murderer, have to say."
Tong Leyan glanced at his father. He was still standing, as if he was not ready yet, so he spoke first: "Keke, today's dinner was actually arranged by me. Because when I was very young, I heard my father say that I still have A little girl."
Shen Ke's face froze hard.
Dinner, dinner, the Chinese are really clever at coining words. This is really a bureau.
