Fatal temptation

Cheng Simu was really in a hurry to keep the appointment.

Jiang Yiran asked him to meet at the largest lakeside restaurant on the outskirts of the city.

When he arrived, Jiang Yiran was sitting by the window, staring blankly at the sparkling light outside the window.

He was wearing a long black trench coat with a stand collar, covering half of his face in shadow, adding a melancholy aura to his whole person.

Maybe this is the artist, Cheng Simu thought.

He walked over, took out the cigarette Jiang Yiran was holding in his mouth, pinched it with two fingers and pressed it on the table, "You have just been discharged from the hospital, so smoke less."

Jiang Yiran smiled indifferently, "Are you here?"

"looking for me?"

Cheng Simu has relaxed a lot in front of Jiang Yiran now, and she no longer holds it like before.He pulled out his chair and sat here, with his hands folded on the table, his eyes as calm as water fixed on the person in front of him.

Jiang Yiran was a little uncomfortable being watched by him, he coughed and turned his head away, "I heard that you are going to take over the Dragon River Pearl?"

"..." Cheng Simu was a little surprised. We were discussing this afternoon, so did Jiang Yiran know?

Could it be that news from the government leaked out in advance?

He didn't think that someone in his company told Jiang Yiran, one was the red-headed document that was just issued to the group in the afternoon, and the other was that he believed in Jiang Yiran and would not have anything to do with his company.

"Yes."

"Amu, listen to me, let others take over the order, we don't want to get into this muddy water easily."

"why?"

"It's an ominous place."

"..." In the afternoon, Director Fang just said that this is a dragon's vein, why did it become an ominous place when it came to Jiang Yiran?

That's right, if it's unknown to the living, wouldn't it be an excellent choice for the dead?And Jiang Yiran doesn't know his company's plan yet.

"Don't worry, that land is for my own use."

"No! Ah Mu, listen to me! Haven't you realized where the land is near?"

"...you mean?"

Wushi Mountain, Huangquan Road.

The place where Zhao Yu had an accident.

How did he forget?

No wonder the last time I went to investigate, I felt familiar. It turned out that they met there for a racing car ten years ago.

It was the place he hid deep in his memory and hoped he would never recall it for the rest of his life.

"That matter is over."

"Amu, ask yourself, do you really think it's over?"

"..."

"If you think that, you won't question Zhan Qi in front of so many people, and you won't rush to Xiling the next day after returning home. You came back this time to find out the truth ten years ago, right? ?”

"..." Cheng Simu's face was still calm, but his clasped hands were trembling slightly.

"And it really has no past. To be precise, 'he' is always with us."

"He", this is the first time Cheng Simu clearly heard this symbol from Jiang Yiran.Who he is is self-evident.

"From car accidents to oil paintings to posthumous photos, 'he' reminds us and intimidates us all the time. In the incident ten years ago, no one was innocent. Yaohu and his wife have already paid the price for what they did. One, who would it be?"

"Yi Ran, why do you have such a terrible idea? All of this is just a coincidence. And I returned to China because my father wanted me to develop in China."

"Amu, you still don't regard me as your own." Jiang Yiran smiled wryly.

He was already extremely pale, but he was so lonely, it really hurts to see him.At least Cheng Simu couldn't bear it anymore.

He held Jiang Yiran's hand that was also on the table, "Aran, you..."

His name is Aran, not Yiran.

Jiang Yiran thought, he really cares about himself.

"Amu, only you can save me now."

"What's the matter with you?" He couldn't help asking.

Jiang Yiran took out a note from the inside pocket of the windbreaker, and slowly unfolded it in front of him.

"This is what Chen Qiao has been looking for."

Cheng Simu took a look and shook her hand, almost letting it fly to the ground.

"I know your secret."

There were only these few words on the note, but in Cheng Simu's eyes, they seemed to be stained with blood, because they were written by Zhao Yu, with beautiful lower script.

"Now you know why I'm so scared? This note was in Yaohu's suit pocket when he had an accident, and as far as I know, Yu Ming was holding a note in his hand when he died. A note like that. That's the real reason why I dared to make this bet with you."

"Why would you know..." the existence of this note.

"Why? Hehe..." Jiang Yiran held his forehead and smiled wryly, "Because I also received it."

"What?!" Cheng Simu grabbed the edge of the table tightly with both hands and almost stood up.It never occurred to him that Jiang Yiran's mental condition was not good because he had been threatened like this for a long time.

If he can be more careful and care about him, maybe he can find out about this earlier.

It's all my fault that I have been only caring about my own affairs all this time, while ignoring Jiang Yiran.If he didn't take the initiative to tell himself today, wouldn't he have to wait until...

Cheng Simu, Cheng Simu, you are so careless, yet dare to boast that you have loved him for ten years.

He let go of the edge of the table, and grabbed Jiang Yiran's hand again, "Why are you talking about such an important matter now? Go, go back and pack your things, and come live with me right away. Your apartment has neither alarm nor security , who knows what will happen."

Jiang Yiran: "..."

This is not the right direction.

He took the initiative to mention this because he wanted to persuade Cheng Simu to give up the land and get out of the game, but Cheng Simu seemed a little confused about this focus.

By the time he realized it, he had been dragged to the door by Cheng Simu.

"Amu, I'm not a woman, I can protect myself. I'm just worried about you..."

"Nonsense! Look at Sun Yaohu! Do you still dare to say such a thing? Ran, this is not a joke."

"I'm not joking with you either. Amu, if his target was me, he would have done it long ago. You don't have to be so nervous. Probably in the eyes of 'him', I'm not ready to die yet. But you, can Can't you give up that piece of land for me?"

"Aran, this is not a question of giving up or not. The government has clearly appointed Cheng Feng to take over the project. What can I do? Should I fight against it?"

"This is workable, and it will be Mr. Zhan's birthday banquet in two days..."

"If it could work, it would have worked long ago. Mr. Zhan didn't even give his grandson face, would he take care of me, a junior with a foreign surname? Besides, if Zhan Qi and I are in such a mess, can we still expect to get benefits from his family? ?”

"I can still talk in front of the old man, if you are willing..."

"Yiran, forget it, let nature take its course. It's you, you must go back with me tonight."
