After rebirth, I was hugged and kissed by a crazy boss

22:00 The night is dark

Liang Yunian opened the door and found Yan Qing and Gu Qingyan's shoes still at the door.

He frowned subconsciously and pushed his glasses up on his nose.

His expression returned to its usual gentle and friendly self.

"Qingqing, you haven't left yet?"

While Liang Yunian was changing his shoes, he said to the inside,

"When I came back, I saw that your door was closed. Have you dealt with everything?"

Yan Qing and Gu Qingyan had already been waiting in the living room.

"Uncle Liang, I have something to ask you."

Yan Qing stood up from the sofa and walked to Liang Yunian.

"I hope you can give me some time."

Liang Yunian looked at her quietly for a few seconds, and Yan Qing also looked straight into his eyes.

Her gaze was cold and transparent, reminding him of a glass slide covering a specimen, which seemed to be able to analyze everything.

"Okay. Come to my study."

……

Liang Yunian sat behind his desk, with a full bookshelf behind him.

Yan Qing sat on the sofa opposite him, and the two of them talked across a desk.

"Qingqing, the last time you sat in this position was when..."

Liang Yunian took out a pen from the pen holder, poked his temple, and then smiled apologetically.

"Ten years ago? Or eight years ago? Sorry, Uncle Liang's memory is getting worse and worse."

"Uncle, to be exact, it was eleven years ago."

Yan Qing said calmly,

"It's getting late. I'll leave after I finish asking questions."

"Okay." Liang Yunian nodded, "What do you want to know?"

"Uncle, when did you and my father meet?"

"Si Chen and I...I think it was when I was around 20 years old. At that time, he was only a teenager, not yet an adult."

Liang Yunian's eyes flickered slightly.

"We are both students of University A, and we agreed to study abroad together."

"You went to a college called Dexinwei for further studies."

Yan Qing added calmly,

“It is worth mentioning that this school generally does not recruit students. Only a very small number of students who are qualified to be recommended by alumni can enter Dexinwei College.”

"That's right." Liang Yunian restrained his gaze, "There has always been a rumor in the academic community, you should have heard of it -"

"Gold will always shine, but Dexinwei is magnificent."

Yan Qing nodded, "My father once thought about recommending my brother and me to study there. Unfortunately, he had a car accident before he could write the recommendation letter."

Liang Yunian raised the corners of his lips bitterly.

"I feel very sorry. Your father... is in his prime years doing scientific research."

"Uncle Liang, do you know Featherwit? It means... a fool. Its symbol is a crow with its wings spread, or a raven."

Liang Yunian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"The Fool? Reminds me of Tarot cards. Of course, I don't really understand these."

His reaction fell into Yan Qing's eyes, but Yan Qing chuckled.

"Uncle Liang, you are pretending to be confused."

After laughing, her eyes were as sharp as a scalpel.

"You know something about it, but you just don't want to tell me."

Liang Yunian also laughed.

"Qingqing, uncle really doesn't know what you are talking about. What fool, what raven, I really have no impression of it."

Yan Qing crossed her legs impatiently.

"Uncle, we are all smart people, so why don't we speak frankly?"

Liang Yunian just raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

"You deliberately let me find out that among my father's belongings, there is a crow seal and a certificate signed by Louis, right?"

Liang Yunian seemed surprised. "What is that?"

Yan Qing really wanted to roll his eyes, but didn't in the end.

"Uncle, let me be frank. That safe is yours, isn't it?"

"You bought my family's information and picked out some important ones, such as the marriage certificate and my brother's and my birth certificates. You put them in this safe along with the crow seal and certificate, and then set my mother's birthday as the password."

"You've been waiting for me, waiting for me to come back here, waiting for me to discover these things."

Liang Yunian's eyes were filled with joy and interest. "Qingqing, this is a good inference, but it's just a guess."

"Uncle Liang, do you know why I noticed something strange?"

Yan Qing also had a playful look on his face.

"The answer is that safe."

"Oh?" Liang Yunian smiled and motioned for her to continue.

"Actually, I don't know much about safes."

There was a gleam of wisdom in Yan Qing's eyes.

"But my friend said that if the password is entered incorrectly three times, this type of safe will automatically lock and even an electric saw cannot cut it open."

Liang Yunian looked at her calmly.

Yan Qing met his gaze and analyzed in an orderly manner,

"If I were that person, the old woman who claimed to be my grandmother, or the man who claimed to be my uncle..."

"I will definitely do everything I can to try to open the safe. Because there may be my father's passbooks, bank cards, and even gold bars in it. I can't just sell it without doing anything."

"In this case, the safe will definitely lock automatically and can never be opened again. Moreover, there should be traces of being hacked with a knife or sawed on it."

"If this safe really belonged to my father, it would have been a piece of scrap metal by the time it came into your hands. Because the combination has been entered incorrectly three times, it is locked."

"But, I succeeded in opening it today."

"There is only one possibility. That is - the safe was prepared by you, Uncle Liang, wasn't it?"

"You prepared this safe just to make me pay special attention to the crow seal and Featherwit?"

clap clap.

Liang Yunian clapped his hands, his eyes full of admiration.

"Qingqing, that's a very good reasoning. No wonder your father always praises you, saying that you are very good at learning chess... Your personality is also very similar to his."

"In fact, there are some similarities between playing chess and reasoning. That is the understanding of human nature, the game with people's hearts, and the speculation of details."

Yan Qing stared at his smiling face closely.

"Uncle, you admitted it."

Liang Yunian did not deny it, but turned his eyes to the ballpoint pen turning in his hand.

"Qingqing, do you remember why you sat here last time?"

Yan Qing was stunned, "Uncle, this is not what we are talking about now."

"You are a smart child, although not as smart as your father... No, perhaps, your potential has not been fully developed yet."

There was a hint of loneliness in Liang Yunian's smile.

"Qingqing, your father... is a very good friend of mine."

“There’s a saying that goes, it’s lonely at the top.”

"Like me, without friends by my side, I don't know how to face a lonely life alone."

"My memory has been getting worse since your father passed away."

"Maybe... I have Alzheimer's disease. I don't know how long I can stay awake."

Yan Qing stared at him blankly, forgetting words for a moment.

"Qingqing, I don't know if what I did is right or not. Maybe... you should have a more peaceful and happy life."

"I'm sorry, I was going to put the stuff in the safe for you to choose."

Liang Yunian's tone and gaze were gentle and sad.

The next second, he snapped his fingers.

Yan Qing seemed to have his soul sucked out of him, and instantly collapsed onto the sofa, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

She had been hypnotized since some time.

Liang Yunian rubbed his face and walked out of the study.

"Student Gu, I was just talking about going to a concert with her father when Qingqing fell asleep."

He smiled helplessly.

"Maybe, I'll have to trouble you to send her back."
