[Love and Producer] Time is long

At night, in a small bungalow on the outskirts of Lianyu City, a middle-aged man was tremblingly pouring a cup of tea for the young girl in front of him.He held the handle of the teapot firmly with his hand, and the uncontrollable trembling caused the tea to splash all over the table.

"How...how did you find me..." The man's voice was dry and hoarse, and his thin, sunken face was full of fear.

"If I remember your face, is it still difficult to find you?"

"Your father promised me that he would not pursue me..."

"Hmph..." Youran sneered, "Why should he agree to you? You know how many children like me have been killed by your greed... We are tortured day and night because of you..."

"They threatened me with my family members, and I couldn't do anything..." the man begged. "When I drove the orphanage's car to that place according to their requirements, I thought they were trying to extort ransom from the government. I never thought that such a terrible thing would happen afterwards. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

The man lowered his head and sobbed, his skinny shoulders trembled as if they would fall apart at any moment, "I have also received retribution. The doctor said that I was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, and I will not live long."

As if mustering all the courage in his body, the man looked up into the girl's eyes: "For so many years, I have been tormented by the guilt of this matter. If you really want to seek revenge on me, I will not resist. But please Please don't implicate my family again."

Leisurely noticed a group photo of a family of three on the small table in the living room, in which there was a smiling little girl who looked only four or five years old. "Tell me everything you know about the kidnappers, and I'll spare your family..."

"Thank you..." The man stood up tremblingly, turned around and went into the room to search for a while. When he came out, he took a worn-out leather bag and handed it to the girl.

"It contained my pager at that time, the threatening letter I received, and a voice recorder, and inside it was the phone call between me and the kidnapper..." You Ran opened the purse and checked the evidence he said.

"Can I make one more request?"

"Go ahead."

"My child's ballet class is about to end. If you want to kill me, I can go out with you. I... don't want my child to see it."

A trace of pity flashed in Youran's eyes, but he was immediately irritated by something in the bag's interlayer... It was a yellowed and cracked card with a line of childish handwriting on it:

"Happy birthday to Uncle Liu!" On it are small hearts printed with fingers, the small fingerprints are only half the size of Youran's current fingers.Tears welled up in Youran's eyes, she almost still remembered who printed each fingerprint.That morning, Xiao Ning, who loved the uncle the driver the most, was responsible for secretly putting the card into the uncle's purse. In the end, her body was the first to be carried away.

Unforgivable... Youran stretched out his hand and grabbed the man's throat, his skinny arm grabbed Youran's arm, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat...

At this time, the sound of a key opening the door came from the entrance, and a childish voice was full of joy.

"Dad, look at the new dance steps I learned today!"

******

"A massacre occurred in the outskirts of the city, and a family of three were mysteriously murdered."

Li Zeyan frowned, and then clicked on the leisurely whereabouts confirmation that Laobao had just sent him.At 8:[-] in the evening, she had indeed been to this community.

Has she already started killing people?Among them was a child who was only four years old... Li Zeyan supported his head, the chaos in his mind made him unable to think at all.His eyes fell on the wine rack next to the desk, he reached for a bottle of whiskey, unscrewed the cap, and poured it directly into his mouth.

Youran didn't come home until early in the morning, and when she stepped out of the elevator, she could smell a strong smell of alcohol.Under the dim light in the corridor, a tall man was sitting slumped against the wall, his shirt collar was loosened, and a black tie was put on his shoulders. He stopped his footsteps before slowly raising his head, his eyes blurred, and he muttered road.

"Finally back, idiot..."

In his memory, he seemed to have never been so drunk before, he sighed slightly in his heart, and opened the door leisurely.Then reach out to help him.Putting his arms on the back of his neck, leisurely encircling his waist, with all his strength, instead of helping him up, he lost his center of gravity and fell into his arms.

His body was scorching hot, and through the thin shirt, he leisurely felt his breath mixed with the smell of alcohol.You Ran wanted to prop herself up on the ground, but she felt her shoulders being held down by him, and then turned her whole body to face him.It was still that stern face like a sculpture of ice, with a deep light shining in the dark eyes.His forehead was disheveled, very different from his usual meticulousness, he looked decadent and tired.Leisurely noticed his black eyes and faint beard, and knew very well in her heart that it was because of her that Li Zeyan had worked so hard during this time.

Li Zeyan's hand caressed the girl's face in front of him, and a shallow kiss landed on her closed eyelids.The longing in his heart didn't diminish at all because of this kiss, it seemed to boil even more violently, mixed with the messy taste of alcohol, he blocked her lips somewhat rudely, as if he wanted to crush her into his body, this kiss brought her With love, hatred, longing, despair and helplessness, he wantonly plundered everything that belonged to her. He didn't let go until he realized that the tears in her eyes were dripping down.

"Sorry..." He clumsily hugged the sobbing girl in his arms, under the effect of alcohol, for a moment, he even mistakenly thought that the crying idiot had returned.

"Why are you still unwilling to let go?" Youran didn't break free from his embrace, but just said something quietly.

"I miss you."

"You miss her very much." Youran corrected.She could see that the light in Li Zeyan's eyes was instantly extinguished, replaced by a deep depression and loss.The red and swollen lips after the long kiss seemed to still have traces of him. The soul residing in this body can feel the fiery emotions, but it has to remind itself to leave this sweet illusion that does not belong to itself at all.

His love is fake, but the tears just now are real.

****

As the morning light fell on the window sill, Li Zeyan opened his eyes again, barely sat up, only to realize that he was sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room of Youran's house.

"Are you awake?" You Ran came out of the kitchen and came in with a cup of hot tea.

"Last night...sorry..." Although he was very drunk, fragments of memories can still connect what happened last night.After drinking the tea, she seemed to have cleared her mind a little. The environment of the living room was a bit strange, and the miscellaneous knick-knacks that she usually liked were gone, including those camel ornaments he bought on business trips.In the corner of the living room are large and small cardboard boxes.

"Moving?"

"Yes. The house is too big to be used alone." Youran replied indifferently.

Li Zeyan knew that this was the apartment where Youran and her adoptive father used to live together. Although it was too big after the death of her adoptive father, Youran was never willing to move out.She doesn't seem to care about that anymore.Li Zeyan remembered the case of extermination of the family, and he wanted to come here when he was so drunk, just to hear her confirm the matter himself.

"Where did you go the night before?"

"Some private business. What's the matter?"

"Do you know this?" Li Zeyan searched for the report from his phone.Looking leisurely, the expression on his face froze for an instant. In the processed photo, he could still see three fuzzy corpses in the living room. One of the small bodies was the child with the red bow...

Li Zeyan's heart sank, and a fluke flashed in his heart, and it was also lost.Leisurely saw his thoughts, bit her lips subconsciously, neither affirming nor denying.

"Tell me the truth, do you know about this?!" Li Zeyan had deep doubts in his eyes.

"do not know."

"Liu Shichuan, the driver of the orphanage 17 years ago, left his job and kept his name incognito."

"You know him"

"I checked him. He said he wasn't on duty that day."

"Lie! It's him who gave the whole carload of children to those demons."

"Don't you know?" Li Zeyan's trick is here.

"I didn't know he was dead, didn't I..." Youran stopped in the middle of her explanation, "Forget it, you must think that I killed the three members of this family..."

"Didn't you? You hated him..."

"Yes, I do hate him to the core, for his weakness, for his meager existence..."

"But that doesn't mean you can kill him!" Li Zeyan was also a little excited, "There is also that child, who was almost as old as you at that time, how could you do it!"

"I didn't!" Youran beat the wall behind her with her hand, lowered her head, "I really wanted to, but I didn't... When I wanted to do it, his daughter came back, so I left..."

"Then why did they die in the end?" Li Zeyan still had doubts in his eyes.

"I don't know." Youran's heart was very complicated. Seeing Liu Shichuan's death did not bring the pleasure she imagined, and that little girl, she still remembered her twinkling eyes and hair on her head when she ran into the living room. Little bow.

Li Zeyan looked at her with genuine surprise, hesitating in his heart whether he should believe it or not.If, as she said, it was murdered by someone else, then she is likely to be some kind of target of these people.But if she lied, then she was talking to the devil now.

"If you don't believe me, you'd better leave immediately, so as not to get into trouble." You Ran opened the door and pointed in the direction of the door. Even if she didn't do it this time, she will eventually part ways with him for revenge. Instead of keeping it, it's better to break it now.

Li Zeyan suddenly noticed a blue glass cup standing alone on the window sill by the door, it had been broken into several pieces, and then glued together again.He subconsciously walked to reach out to take it, but You Ran took a step ahead of him.

"There are two of these cups?" Li Zeyan clearly remembered that this was an apology gift that Youran personally made for himself last time, and he kept it in the cabinet all the time without breaking it.

"Yeah." Youran lowered her head in a panic.It was a few nights ago that the cup was glued again.Wei Qian brought over some pudding, which Li Zeyan made with his own hands, and it was the only thing she could eat without retching.As soon as my heart moved, I glued the cup again and put it on the window sill to dry

"Give it to me." Li Zeyan could tell that this leisurely liar bowed her head.

You Ran frowned at him, and reluctantly put the cup in his palm.Li Zeyan's gaze stayed on the two childish graffiti on the cup, which were almost exactly the same as his own.There was a faint bloodstain on the edge of the crack.It seems to be embedded in it.

Even Li Zeyan couldn't explain why the moment he saw this cup, he began to calm down slowly.

"Trust you for the time being." Li Zeyan stretched out his hand to close the door, leisurely did not expect him approaching, dodged to the side, but tripped over his foot.Li Zeyan reached out to grab her, and the door closed with a bang.

"Thank you for trusting me." Youran gently shook off his hand, lowering her head to escape from this closeness.

"do you hate me?"

"Why ask that?"

"Just say, do you hate me?"

"……no feelings."

"Then let me help you find out what happened back then. Take it as your reward for saving me."

"It's unnecessary." Youran's instinct was to refuse.

"I swore that if I could find the girl who saved me again, I would do my best to keep her safe. Although I have mixed feelings about you, I have promised and must do it. If revenge is your If you choose the path, then let me at least protect you on this path."

His tone was undeniable. The Li Zeyan in front of him was the firm and persistent CEO. He thought he could support everything, but he didn't know the cruelty of fate.She frowned, but her eye circles were a little warm.

"up to you."

****

Li Zeyan's help was substantial, and clues were soon found in the evidence left by Liu Shichuan.An incomplete fingerprint was found on the paper threatening credit.

"Tell me, who is that man?"

"Su Henian, a genetic engineer, but he died in a car accident last year."

"Another car accident..."

"Old Bao got his daughter's contact information, and I will accompany you to see her tomorrow night." Li Zeyan was slightly taken aback as he took the supplementary information that Lao Bao had just sent over.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing...it's just that this Su Yiyun should have died a long time ago." Li Zeyan handed a diagnosis report to Youran, which read:

Su Yiyun, female, 4 years old, diagnosis: acute leukemia.

Lianyu Jiuxi Psychiatric Hospital is located in the depression on the other side of Jiuxi Mountain, isolated from Lianyu City.There are all kinds of serious mental patients living in it, and there are also prisoners who have committed felony murder due to mental problems.

"Be careful, both of you." The nurse who received Youran and Li Zeyan was a chubby nurse in her thirties and 40s. She always had a smile on her face, and seemed to be able to ease the terrifying atmosphere in the mental hospital.

"Yes. Thanks for the reminder."

"To be honest, Su Yiyun has lived here for more than ten years. Apart from her father, I really haven't heard that she has any other relatives."

"It's not considered a relative. I'm Professor Su's student. I've met Yiyun a few times before, so I'm considered a friend. This time I came back to Lianyu and knew she was here, so I wanted to visit her."

"You really have a heart. Many people dare not set foot here. They say that our place will turn sane people into crazy people, hahaha..."

The loud laugh echoed in the empty hallway.Leisurely's heart trembled involuntarily.

"Su Yiyun, someone is here to see you." The three walked to the door of a room at the end of the corridor, and the nurse took out the key and opened a small window the size of a palm.

"The visiting time is 15 minutes. By the way, I remind you that Su Yiyun's diagnosis is severe paranoia. You must be mentally prepared."

"Ok."

"Press the red intercom button if you have any questions. I'm right outside the corridor." With that said, the fat nurse turned and left.

Looking from the small window, the inside of the ward was snow-white. The floor, wall and ceiling were covered with thick white cushions. A young woman in her twenties was sitting cross-legged on the ground, her fingers seemed to be writing something on the ground.

"Miss Su..." You Ran tried to call her name softly, she raised her head, then scratched her face, as if she didn't hear anything, she lowered her head to pick the soft cushion on the floor.

"We are your father's friends..." Before You Ran finished speaking, the woman raised her head again, with a miserable sneer on her face: "I said, I don't know where those medicines are, why don't you Let me go!" The woman's voice gradually became sharper, and she threw herself to the side as if she had gone mad and began to kick the wall frantically.There were large red bleeding spots under the skin on her legs and hands, and then miraculously disappeared quickly.Li Zeyan felt vigilant, this Su Yiyun was also an evoler.

"Miss Su, please calm down. It's not medicine, I just want to ask something about your father 17 years ago..."

Gradually, the woman's hands and feet slowed down, and she turned her head to look in Youran's direction, "17 years ago? 17 years ago..." She mumbled and sat down on the ground, staring up at a corner of the ceiling.

"What I want to ask is, 17 years ago, did Professor Su associate with any special people, or participated in any special research projects? For example, some genetic research, or evoler..."

Just after You Ran said the word evoler, the woman's whole body stiffened as if possessed by something, she kept moving on the ground, her face turned purple, and a rough man's voice came out of her mouth: "It's been 17 years, what else do you want?! " Youran took two steps back in fright, Li Zeyan supported her from behind and protected her behind her.

The woman slowly got up and walked towards the door step by step, her head twitching nervously.The gait is extremely strange, as if the hands and feet are fighting each other, and the left foot almost tripped over the right foot a few times.Su Yiyun muttered to himself, but his words were incoherent, sometimes male and sometimes female.

"That old fellow Su Henian should die, he should die!..." (male)

"Don't save me again, please..." (female)

"You will die too!" (male)

"Why—" (female)

Li Zeyan took two steps back, turned around and shrank leisurely to the corner of the wall.A skinny hand protruded from the window, and the wrist was covered with layers of scars. The hand danced wildly in the air, knocking on the window frame, and it couldn't stop until the skin was bleeding. .Seeing that Su Yiyun was out of control and couldn't ask anything, Li Zeyan wanted to press the button to call the nurse in, but there was no answer from the other end of the corridor.

The door began to make a knocking sound, and the solid steel door began to shake.The hand got deeper and longer, and it was about to scratch Li Zeyan's back. He leisurely pulled Li Zeyan's clothes and looked out. Half of Su Yiyun's face was almost embedded in the small window, looking distorted and terrifying. Words that he couldn't understand were still repeated in his mouth.

"Don't look at it." Li Zeyan stretched out his hand to cover Youran's eyes.

"No... Li Zeyan, I might really know him..." Youran felt that the blood in her whole body was about to freeze. Before she was overwhelmed by fear, she slowly stretched out her hand, and then held the bone-like palm. The woman's hand gently drew a circle. .

"You!" Li Zeyan was ready to pull her back at any time, but the violent woman instantly became quiet, and the man's voice became gentle: "Youran, is that you?"

Leisurely let the withered hand hold it in a daze, looking at the mad woman with disheveled hair in disbelief, the tears welling up in her eyes fell uncontrollably.She held Li Zeyan's skirt tremblingly, and shook her head gently, "Li Zeyan...do you still remember a little fat man surnamed Xia who ran with us at that time? He was not afraid of falling or getting hurt, any wound would be fine." The little fat man who recovered quickly..."

Li Zeyan looked back at the woman, a burst of cold poured from the top of his head, he also reached out and hugged the girl in front of him tightly, this Su Yiyun is not an evoler, but an evoler transplanted...
