Zhan Lian was staring at the vast and formidable gate in front of him.
He remained motionless, like a pine and cypress, gazing at the distant green hills.
The faint words coming from below fell into his ears. The concentration in his eyes dispersed, and the deep darkness of night came in.
He lifted his steps and continued to move forward.
Zhan Nanhong looked at this scene and looked away.
Even Lin Lian would not change his decision.
Zhan Nanhong went up the steps and followed.
Fang Ming felt movement beside him, but he didn't look at it. He listened carefully to the voice on Lin Lian's cell phone, and then strode towards the parking lot.
The forest curtain is outside, there is traffic, and it is very noisy.
He feels that she is very unsafe now.
At least she is very emotionally unstable now.
But as soon as Fang Ming took a few steps, Lin Lian's voice came over: "Where is he? Tell me!"
This sound was filled with suppressed hoarseness and tearing, as well as full of anger and pain.
Fang Ming stopped for a moment and held his phone tightly.
Lin Lian stood on the side of the road, looking at everything in sight. There was no sound on the phone, only silence.
Endless silence.
To her, such silence was like being in a terrifying swamp abyss, with her alone in it.
His eyes were scarlet and his nails were embedded in his flesh: "Tell me!"
"elder brother!"
She almost roared with the last sound.
Fang Ming's eyebrows tightened, and his fingers also tightened.
He could feel that Lin Lian's emotions were already on the verge of collapse.
He was afraid that he couldn't hide it anymore.
"He's in court."
The forest curtain froze.
In just a moment, she took off her phone, quickly hailed a taxi, and said in a mute voice: "Court."
Soon, the car drove into traffic.
Lin Lian looked at the passing scenery outside the window, tears gathering in her eyes, and she clutched the document in her hand tightly.
Zhan Lianshi, I want you to tell me personally why.
The tears were forced back by her, and thin red blood filled her eyes.
Fang Ming stood there, listening to the busy signal from his cell phone. He did not move for a while, until the sound of the car horn fell into his ears.
He turned his head and saw a car approaching from the front entrance, and he was standing in the middle of the road.
Fang Ming retreated to the side of the road, took off his cell phone, and looked unusually solemn.
Lin Lian hung up the phone, she should be on her way here.
Look at the time on your phone, and then look at the high steps.
The person who was walking on it before disappeared.
He has walked through that door.
Without hesitation.
His answer is already very clear.
No one can stop it.
Fang Ming lowered his head, opened the address book, and made a call.
At this time, several cars drove towards the court from a distance.
In the car were Liu Yao, Hou Shude, and Hou Shuyu, followed by Liu Yuqing, Liu Yumin, and other Liu family members.
Liu Yao was sitting in the passenger seat, and Hou Shude and Hou Shuyu were sitting in the back seat.
Suddenly, Liu Yao's cell phone rang.
He took out his cell phone, looked at the caller, and answered: "Hello."
"Uncle, there is something I want to tell you."
Fang Ming's voice was different from before, and Liu Yao could tell. His eyes moved slightly, but his expression didn't reveal anything: "Say."
Hou Shude and Hou Shuyu followed Liu Yao's phone and their eyes fell on him.
This week, dealing with the funeral affairs of Liu Yuwen and Lin Mingyue, as well as various investigations on the events of that year, everyone was extremely exhausted physically and mentally.
Especially Hou Shude.
Although she had accepted the fact that Liu Yuwen was dead, the moment she saw Liu Yuwen's body, she could not control her emotions and collapsed.
The truth is cruel, and the facts before us are even crueler.
Make arrangements for the funeral and take care of everything that needs to be done.
Things over there have come to an end.
They were coming back to tell Lin Lian her life story, but at this time, Zhan Lianshi also entered a very difficult stage.
This stage is not what they want to see.
Hou Shude had to rush back.
After all, if you don't do some things, you will be in trouble later.
Even regret.
Everyone was in a very solemn mood along the way, and there was a heavy atmosphere in the car.
Liu Yao's cell phone rang, which made Hou Shude's heart tighten even more.
Even Hou Shuyu was not as relaxed as usual.
She has also been shrouded in dark clouds this week, until now.
She couldn't relax anymore.
"Well, I understand."
Not knowing who the person on the phone was or what was said, the two heard Liu Yao's voice and watched him hang up the phone. Hou Shuyu asked, "Xiao Yao, are you busy with something?"
This was a test to see if it was an important call.
After all, at this time, when everyone's nerves are tense, a phone call becomes sensitive.
Liu Yao looked at Hou Shuyu and Hou Shude through the rearview mirror. Both of them had a look of uneasiness on their faces.
Although he restrained himself very well, he could still see it at a glance.
He didn't want to tell the two of them at first, but seeing the looks on their faces, especially the way Hou Shude looked at him, Liu Yao still felt like telling him directly.
"Lin Lian didn't know what was going on and suddenly asked Fang Ming where Zhan Lian was. She was very emotionally unstable. Fang Ming had no choice but to tell her."
Simple, one sentence explanation.
Hou Shude frowned for a moment, but before she could say anything, Hou Shuyu said, "Where is Lin Lian asking Lian Shi?"
"Why did she suddenly ask this at this time? What does she know?"
Hou Shude took out his mobile phone and called Lin Lian directly.
If Zhao Qiwei dies and the Zhao family falls, no one will harm Lin Lian anymore, and those who used to secretly follow Lin Lian to protect Lin Lian will also withdraw.
So now no one knows where she is, they can only call her directly.
"beep……"
The call was quickly connected. Hou Shude listened to the voice and waited patiently.
This matter is by no means simple.
Only when she asked in person and heard the sound of the forest curtain with her own ears could she feel relieved.
However, "Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unanswered..."
Hou Shude frowned and took off his phone.
Hou Shuyu noticed it: "What's wrong? Didn't you get through?"
Hou Shude said: "I didn't answer."
As she spoke, she dialed again.
Liu Yao made a direct call: "I want to know Lin Lian's whereabouts."
"Who did she meet today and what did she do?"
"Nothing is too small."
Hou Shuyu heard Liu Yao's voice, saw him take off his phone, and asked, "Xiao Yao, what can I do?"
"have."
Lin Liang can't be found, but her friends and company can be found.
These are not difficult for him.
Liu Yao looked at Hou Shude in the rearview mirror: "Mom, nothing will happen."
Hou Shude didn't respond. She kept calling Lin Lian, and there was no answer after several calls. Her expression gradually became unstable.
Hou Shude couldn't tell and quickly held her hand to comfort her: "It's okay. When Lin Lian came to find Lian, Fang Ming told her, and she will naturally come to the court."
"The phone can't be connected now, maybe because the signal is not good."
No one believes this reason.
But even if it is fake, it can have a little comforting effect at this time.
Liu Yao looked at the buildings gradually appearing in front of him and said, "We're almost there."
Hou Shude looked over, and from a distance, the iconic building came into view.
Dignity, solemnity.
She held the phone tightly and stopped calling.
The sky is getting gloomier and the traffic on the street is increasing.
The roads throughout Kyoto are densely packed with cars.
Lin Lian was sitting in the car, and her cell phone kept ringing but she didn't answer it.
She kept looking out the window, clutching her phone and files tightly, and scenes from the past kept flashing before her eyes.
To her before, these scenes were painful, muddy, and filled with endless fear and fear.
But now, these images are memories for her.
A memory that she cannot escape.
She was like a bystander, looking at these pictures indifferently, watching them unfold like a long picture scroll bit by bit in front of her eyes.
