After being reborn and having his mind read, the cold and arrogant Zhan Ye kneeled down to coax
Chapter 25 Grandma locked the door
Jiang Wan felt depressed when she saw his eyes.
In the previous life, I desperately wanted him to believe me countless times, but now he is willing to believe me and investigate Qiao Ruhai.
She suddenly felt so cruel.
Tearing apart a person's dream since childhood, it would be extremely painful for her, right?
However, if we don’t “dig out the bone and heal the wound” in time, how can we eliminate this old lesion?
Zhan Tingxiao's speed was faster than she expected.
That night, she watched all the surveillance videos of Qiao Ruhai's hospitalization over the past week.
The old man in the video has white hair and a haggard face. He is suffering from illness and looks like he will die at any time.
[No wonder everyone was easily fooled by him. ]
[Just think about it, if you didn’t see it with your own eyes, who would have the heart to doubt such a poor person with such a vicissitude? ]
[But, is he really pitiful? ]
[Everyone has their own reasons for what happened back then. How vicious is it to drag a group of innocent people into his crazy revenge? ]
[Over a hundred people in the Zhan family died tragically at the hands of these trembling hands.]
Jiang Wan watched the surveillance video and saw his hands shaking. It was so difficult for him to even pick up the drinking cup on the table.
The violent coughing made his already hunched body even more bent.
Zhan Tingxiao said in a low voice: "I asked my eldest brother, and he still has some impression of what happened back then."
"What did he say?"
Jiang Wan clenched her hands nervously and found that Zhan Tingxiao's expression became even more solemn.
“Brother said that what happened back then was true!
When Liu Ruyue followed Uncle Qiao to the Zhan family, he was already in his teens.
Therefore, he knew very well that she was a restless woman.
However, Uncle Qiao was honest and sentimental, and every time he was coaxed by that woman, he would foolishly believe her wholeheartedly.
The day her grandmother caught her, he had just returned from school.
He saw with his own eyes that his father was in a dazed state, and it was obviously not just as simple as being drunk.
As for Liu Ruyue, she was eloquent and fickle. Even when her grandmother threatened to call the police if she told the truth, she insisted that she was going to deliver sobering soup.
My grandmother originally wanted to scare her by locking her up for a few days and then sending her back to the countryside, but she didn't expect that the weather was dry that year and a fire suddenly broke out in the prison at night.
By the time she received the news, the woman had already died."
"So, big brother, you never doubted Qiao Ruhai's sincerity?"
"I doubted it, but over the years, he had been tortured by the pain in his legs and had lost his fighting spirit. In addition, Qiao...he was 'wholeheartedly' taking care of the Zhan family. He thought he had let go of Liu Ruyue's matter."
[Yes, more than a decade is enough time for anyone to let down their guard.]
[After all, not everyone has such long-term perseverance. ]
[But, Zhan Tingxiao, what about you? ]
Jiang Wan looked into Zhan Tingxiao's eyes and didn't ask what was in her heart, but the nervousness and concern in her eyes were all written on her little face.
Zhan Tingxiao said, "He made many phone calls these days. Most of them were about his concern for our Zhan family and his worries that the servants didn't take good care of our requests."
Jiang Wan: "..."
"There is another one, which is today."
Today, Xiao Gu got into trouble.
Zhan Tingxiao looked into Jiang Wan's eyes.
Although I really hope that her feelings are all false, even if it is just any tough opponent.
But why is it Uncle Qiao?
The person who appeared when his parents passed away and his world collapsed, the person who took care of him wholeheartedly, now tells him that all his kindness and meticulous care were just to lower their defenses so that he could take revenge.
"Zhan Tingxiao..."
Jiang Wan had never seen him so lonely.
It was like a lone wolf who had been deeply betrayed. He wanted to howl, but forced himself not to make a cowardly sound.
"What are you going to do next?" she asked.
Zhan Tingxiao was silent for a while, then said, "I'll leave the house to you. As for the things he did... he couldn't have done it alone, so he must have had help."
"Yes!"
Jiang Wan nodded affirmatively.
[In the car accident that year, my grandmother's investigation revealed that Qiao Ruhai was drunk at home that night, so the brakes failed. Either someone covered for him to go out and do something, or someone helped him do it directly.]
[Also, someone acted as the executioner for Xiao Gu's death today. ]
【But who is that person? 】
Before, she thought it was Fu Yanzhou. After all, that guy was Zhan Tingxiao's mortal enemy and wanted to see him in trouble more than anyone else.
However, after today's information test, he didn't even know who Xiao Gu was.
The drizzle is rustling.
I don't know when, it started to drizzle outside the window again.
Jiang Wan was so sleepy that she hit her head on the back of the sofa and fell asleep unknowingly.
When Zhan Tingxiao came to his senses, she was already sleeping soundly with her mouth open.
He reached out to carry her back to bed, but when he stretched out his strong arms, he thought of her defensive fist yesterday and subconsciously touched his eyes.
This girl doesn’t allow anyone to touch her when she falls asleep!
So, after three seconds of silence, he stood up, fetched a quilt, and covered the woman's curled up body with it.
……
"so cold."
The boundless dream is like the sea water that penetrates your bones.
Dragging her body, like the claws of a devil, pulling her into the abyss...
“No…let me go! Let me go!!”
She murmured uncomfortably and suddenly woke up from her dream, waving her fists.
Beads of sweat the size of beans fell one by one down his pale cheeks.
Jiang Wan breathed rapidly and looked around at the familiar environment. It took her three seconds to realize that she was having a nightmare.
But that nightmare was so real.
It was as if she was struggling in the endless sea just before her rebirth...
"Jiang Wan, are you okay?"
Zhan Tingxiao's low voice was heard at the door of the room.
The man was holding a cup of warm milk in his hand, and his tall and straight body was covered in grey pajamas, which made him look less fierce at home than during the day.
Jiang Wan exhaled deeply and waved her hand, saying, "It's okay."
[It's just another nightmare. ]
The reason why it was "again" was because she also had a nightmare last night. However, she didn't know how, the suffocating pulling feeling disappeared silently, and she slept soundly instead!
"What are you doing?"
She looked at Zhan Tingxiao's outfit.
His room is about a hundred meters away from here, so he probably didn't come here just because he heard her voice.
and so……
A hint of embarrassment appeared on the tip of Zhan Tingxiao's ears.
He said in a deep voice: "Grandma secretly locked my door."
"what?"
"Not just my room, but the guest room as well."
Yesterday, they asked someone to move the bed away. Today, they simply cut off the source of the problem and didn’t even allow people to enter the door.
Zhan Tingxiao walked in helplessly.
He handed the milk to Jiang Wan: "Would you like to drink it?"
Jiang Wan was sweating all over and her mouth was indeed dry.
So I took it and started drinking without hesitation.
By the way, I asked, "Do you want to borrow my sofa?"
"May I?"
"Okay!"
Jiang Wan stood up and found that there was still a quilt on her body.
So, Zhan Tingxiao built this for her?
