And when she went out, she clearly remembered that she turned off the light in the study.
So, whose light is it? !
After pressing the password and opening the gate of the manor, Laura went straight to the front of the mansion and looked to the second floor again.
Perhaps it was discovered that Laura had returned, and the flickering light in the study had disappeared.
The act of not having 300 taels of silver here strengthened Laura's inner guess.
She directly took out the key, opened the gate of the mansion, and walked in.
With a "snap", after turning on the light, Laura didn't go straight to the study on the second floor, but went straight to the corner of the living room, picked up an ice pick, and then set off to the second floor.
I saw Laura tightly holding the ice ax with both hands, her ears pricked up, as if she was listening to any suspicious sounds around her.
When she walked slowly outside the closed study room, she paused, and couldn't help tightening the ice ax in her hand.
With a "click", the door was pushed open, and Laura quickly swept inside, only to find that there was no one, before walking into the study.
Going straight to the desk full of various materials, Laura soon discovered another very suspicious thing.
That is, the tape recorder, which was originally turned off, was now making a "rustling..." noise.
Apparently, not so long ago, someone was listening to the cassette tapes of the tape recorder and forgot to turn off the tape recorder when they left!
After confirming that someone had been to the study, Laura turned off the tape recorder and went to the open window.
Looking out the window, Laura couldn't help but fixate her eyes with a solemn expression.
In this dark rainy night, she clearly felt that a pair of greedy eyes were staring at her from somewhere...
As for the identity of the person monitoring her, Laura also roughly guessed:
"Holy Trinity, what tricks are you playing..."
When Laura just closed the window, the remote door device installed on the desk of the study suddenly heard a female voice:
"Laura, are you there?"
Hearing this, Laura was taken aback for a moment, then came to the desk, pressed the intercom button, and said with a little hesitation:
"Anna?"
"It's me, I'm at the gate of the manor, is the password still the same as before?"
"Yes, you can just come in..."
"Okay, see you later..."
About a few minutes later, a black SUV slowly drove into the manor, and finally stopped in front of the mansion.
When Laura opened the door, she was greeted by a pale-looking blonde woman in a gray windbreaker.
The woman is well maintained. Only the fine lines on the corners of the eyebrows can tell that she is not young anymore.
This still beautiful mature woman's name is Anna Miller.
After Laura's mother passed away, she was with Laura's father for a long time.Although the two were not officially married, in a sense, Anna was Laura's stepmother.
The relationship between the two is not bad, and they will be in touch from time to time.
It's just that, it's so late, she didn't call in advance, and came directly to the manor, is there something urgent...
"Anna, why are you here?"
"I saw your picture all over the news, and I was thinking, maybe you need someone to accompany you..."
As soon as the words fell, Laura looked at the gate of the manor, and asked without forgetting:
"Is anyone following you?"
Hearing this, Anna showed doubts on her face, and immediately responded:
"Tracking? Of course not, what's wrong?"
"fine..."
After locking the door casually, the two walked down the stairs to the study on the second floor.
Seeing Laura closing the door mysteriously, Anna looked a little worried, and couldn't help but ask:
"Laura, are you all right?"
"I'm fine. Anna, do you remember that great discovery my father kept talking about?"
Hearing this, Anna frowned when she saw the various materials scattered on the ground and piled up on the desk, and immediately understood:
"You mean the ancient tomb where the prophet is buried?"
"Yes, I think I found it!"
The excitement on Laura's face made Anna's frown deepen a bit.
"Are you kidding..."
"The legend of the prophet is true, my father is not wrong."
"Laura, your father is...not doing well."
"No, he's fine! He was on the verge of finding this great discovery, concrete evidence of the immortal soul..."
Looking at Laura who was sorting out various materials at the desk, Anna pursed her lips, walked slowly behind Laura, put her hands on her shoulders, and said softly:
"I used to love Richard...If he had asked me to marry him, I would have married him. But that doesn't change the fact that he is a worn-out person."
"I don't want to see you end up like him..."
Chapter 332 In a different place, but with each other in mind
Faced with Anna's kindness, Laura, who had already made up her mind, couldn't listen to it at all.
She had already deeply felt the complicated feelings of her father when he was looking for the tomb of the prophet.
When everyone is drunk and I am sober, when no one believes in myself, the only thing that can support me to move forward is my unwavering determination and strong belief!
Thinking of this, Laura turned around slowly, looked at Anna with unquestionable eyes, and said:
"But, Ana...he was right! It was someone else who was wrong!"
"The ancient tomb is in Syria!"
Hearing this, Anna's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Syria?!"
"God, Laura, no! That sounds crazy..."
"It's hard for you to come home. You should think about how to take over the family business and settle down properly. Instead of following in your father's footsteps and continuing to pursue those non-existent legends!"
"You know, it was this persistence that finally ruined your father..."
Facing Anna's eyes, Laura's eyes did not waver at all:
"I saw something...something that I couldn't explain. Now I finally understand what my father went through. It wasn't an attachment, but a desire to know the truth that drove him forward!"
Hearing this, Anna's expression gradually became serious, and she said in a deep voice:
"Eternal life, immortality, it's all human fantasy and nonsense. Laura, listen to me, don't fall into it again, before it's too late."
Shaking her head, Laura said seriously:
"It's the only thing that makes sense to me right now..."
"I must go to find the ancient tomb of the Prophet!"
Laura's resolute attitude made Anna give up the idea of continuing to persuade:
"It seems that I can't persuade you to change your mind. You are just like your father, you are so stubborn..."
Hearing this, Laura couldn't help but smile, bowed her head and murmured:
"Maybe that's why my last name is Crawford..."
. . .
The visiting Anna didn't stay in the mansion for too long, she just drank a cup of tea and planned to leave.
"Okay, don't send it away."
When the two came to the gate of the mansion, Anna stepped forward and hugged Laura, then held her young face and said softly:
"Laura, no matter what happens, anything, if you need help, remember to contact me, got it?"
"Well, I will."
The sound of the car engine "rumbling", watching the SUV drive towards the gate of the manor, Laura turned and walked into the mansion...
In the empty mansion, Laura was left alone again.
However, instead of feeling lonely, she relaxed a lot.
Anna's opposing attitude made her feel as if she was walking on a road full of thorns, with only her own shadow walking along.
In the whole world, no one is on her side.
The kind of helplessness and loneliness that goes straight to the heart cannot be compared by being alone!
"Father, I finally understand now, how you felt at that time... This feeling is really uncomfortable..."
While whispering, a tall and straight figure suddenly flashed in Laura's mind!
"If Lu Qi is here, he will definitely support me..."
Compared with elders like Ross and Anna, Laura trusts Lu Qi more, who has only known her for less than half a year.
Without him, the two have experienced too much together in Yamatai...
Thinking of this, Laura's lowered eyes suddenly lit up:
"By the way! If Lu Qi knows the legend of the Prophet, he will definitely be very interested!"
"I have to tell him about it!"
Do it when you think of it!
Going back to the study excitedly, she found the mobile phone from under the desk scattered on the table. Laura just wanted to call Lu Qi's number, but there was a sudden pause.
Only then did she think of Lu Qi's work.
At this moment, Lu Qi should be in a certain corner of the world, rushing with the filming team to catch up on the shooting progress of the wild adventure...
Once I call by myself, will it affect Lu Qi's work?
Thinking of this, Laura looked at the phone in her hand, couldn't help but pouted her lips, and began to hesitate.
This call, make it, or not make it?
Just when Laura was indecisive, the phone suddenly vibrated and the ringtone rang!
The sound made Laura loose her hand in fright, and the phone fell straight down.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough, and when she was short, she stretched out her hand and grabbed it violently, so that she didn't drop the phone on the ground.
"Phew...it's okay..."
Looking at the caller ID on the phone screen, Laura was taken aback for a moment.
The caller was Lu Qi who made her hesitate!
Letting the phone ring for a while, Laura, who didn't know what to think of, took a deep breath and finally pressed the answer button:
"Hey?"
"Hey, Laura, good evening!"
"Why do you call me when you have time, don't you need to shoot?"
"I just finished work and I was a little excited, so I thought of calling you and chatting with you..."
After a pause, Lu Qi on the other side of the phone continued:
"Isn't it night in London?"
"Yes, it's almost eleven o'clock..."
Through the mobile phone signal, Laura could vaguely hear the sound of "whoosh" coming from the other side.
