On the other side, after Cheng Wei sent Xiaobai back, he was about to leave when he met Daniel who had returned.
He asked: "Has the person been found?"
Daniel walked to the kitchen and poured a glass of water, raised his head and drank it before saying: "I haven't found him, but I have sent people to keep an eye on him. He can't escape from Nancheng."
Cheng Wei nodded and asked, "Where's William?"
"He hasn't come back yet. I heard that he took Ruan Jun away."
After hearing this, Cheng Wei spoke after a while: "Now that the matter is almost over, does he... still plan to continue hiding it from Xingwan?"
Daniel put down the water glass and said slowly: "Miss Ruan also asked me the same question, but I don't think so."
"Is it because of Xiaochen?"
Daniel said: "Maybe there is part of the reason."
"The others."
"A person who has been dead for many years in the eyes of others suddenly appears now, and in the appearance of another person. It shouldn't be easy to get over this hurdle in my heart."
If it weren't for Ruan Xingwan, William wouldn't have stayed here for so long. He would have left as soon as the matter was over.
Lin Zhiyuan will truly disappear from this world.
Cheng Wei frowned: "But you also know that now is different from before.
Xingwan should have the right to know, we can't keep hiding it from him."
"I know, but I know what's the use of these. Can you convince him?"
Cheng Wei pursed his lips and said no more.
Although William now looks gentle, refined, and polite, they all know how much he has done for revenge over the years. In some places, it is not an exaggeration to call him cruel.
Lin Zhiyuan had actually died in that explosion a long time ago.
Daniel said: "As for what you said, don't be anxious. Lin Zhi'an hasn't been caught yet. Let's take it one step at a time."
Cheng Wei hummed: "Then I'll go back first."
"good."
After Cheng Wei left, Xiaobai came out of the room: "Uncle Daniel."
Daniel pinched his cheek: "What's wrong?"
Xiaobai looked up at him: "Am I avenging my parents today?"
"Of course, you did a great job."
Daniel thought for a while and then said, "You have done what you should do. Don't think about revenge in the future. Just go back to school."
Xiaobai added: "Then when will he be caught?"
"You'll always get caught.
You have to believe that justice will always come, even if it takes ten or twenty years, as long as you have done bad things, you will always get the punishment you deserve."
"I know that Uncle William actually came back for revenge."
Daniel laughed: "You know it again."
Xiaobai snorted: "I often hear you chatting, I just know."
"Don't say this, there is something I haven't settled with you yet. Did you look through my phone...Pei Shanshan's phone number?
Did you even run to find her?"
Xiaobai took two steps back: "Suddenly sleepy, good night, Uncle Daniel!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran quickly into the bedroom.
Daniel looked at his back and smiled, closed the door and left.
Sitting in the car, Daniel held the steering wheel with one hand and put the other hand on the window of the car. He looked forward quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
He came to Nancheng originally to complete this plan. Now that the matter is almost over, it stands to reason that he should go back.
But after staying here for a few months, I suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave.
Daniel licked his lower lip and didn't know what he thought of. He put on his seat belt and drove forward.
…
Pei Shanshan had just finished watching the news and was about to go to bed when she suddenly heard the doorbell ring.
She didn't order takeout either. Who could she be at this late hour?
Pei Shanshan walked over and looked at the display screen at the door. Unexpectedly, it was Daniel who came.
She opened the door a crack, revealing only half of her face: "Are you okay?"
Seeing her like this, Daniel said amusedly: "Why are you like this?
I'm not a bad person."
"Maybe, after all, there is no good man who will knock on the door of a single woman at one o'clock in the middle of the night."
Daniel: "..."
He said: "It's a good thing for you to be careful when you live alone, but you don't have to be like this with me."
Pei Shanshan said: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, I'm going to sleep."
"Just...can't you let me go in and say it?"
Pei Shanshan felt that if she had time to spend time with him here, no matter how troublesome things were, she simply opened the door: "Come in."
"Thanks."
Pei Shanshan sat on the sofa, held a pillow in her arms, and said slowly: "I have read all the news today. Did you come here just to say that Lin Zhi'an's true face was exposed?
There’s no need to continue the drama between the two of us, right?
Even if you don’t need to say this, I know..."
Daniel interrupted her: "That's not it."
Pei Shanshan was surprised: "Isn't it this?
what is that."
"I just want to say that I've caused you a lot of trouble during this time."
"Oh, that's not to mention it. I'm not helping you anyway, I'm doing it for the stars."
Daniel coughed: "Actually, there is one more thing."
Pei Shanshan asked: "What else?"
"I might... be leaving here soon."
Hearing this, Pei Shanshan was startled for a moment. He probably didn't expect it, but he felt it was reasonable.
His work here has been completed and there is no need to stay.
Pei Shanshan suddenly looked at him warily: "Why are you telling me this? Are you asking me to treat you to a meal?"
Daniel: "..."
Without waiting for his answer, Pei Shanshan said again: "Okay, okay, we have known each other for such a long time, and you have invited me to dinner many times. I treat you to a meal to see you off."
After a pause, Pei Shanshan said again: "Then when will you leave?"
"Not sure yet, probably after catching Lin Zhi'an."
"Fine."
Pei Shanshan responded and added, "Then... you can eat whatever you want, but it shouldn't be too expensive."
Daniel said: "Don't worry, I won't pick it."
Pei Shanshan said: "Then...bye?"
Knowing that she was issuing an eviction order, Daniel did not stay any longer and stood up and said: "I'm leaving. Let's rest early."
When Daniel left, Pei Shanshan didn't go to see him off.
When she heard the sound of closing the door, she fell down on the sofa, feebly took out her cell phone, and sent a message to Ruan Xingwan: [Xingxing, I've fallen out of love again.
】
After sending this message, Pei Shanshan threw the phone aside, got up and went to the kitchen to get a can of beer.
As soon as she walked back to the sofa, she saw her cell phone ringing. It was a call from Ruan Xingwan.
Pei Shanshan sat down cross-legged, answered the phone, and opened a beer: "Xingxing, are you still awake?"
