Chapter 21

Chaoyang came to the girl's side silently, the girl didn't notice the outsider's arrival, she just roared and then laughed, the laughter became more and more crazy, as if she was venting all her anxiety.

The blood on the girl's body hadn't dried yet, and she could tell from the strong smell of blood that she must have been contaminated with a lot of fresh blood.

"Did you kill someone?" Chao Yang said lightly.

The girl was stunned, and looked at Chaoyang with those big eyes, but compared to the freshness two hours ago, these eyes now showed a lifeless look.

The girl didn't speak, and Chaoyang didn't urge her, but just looked at the girl quietly.

Chaoyang doesn't know why he should pay attention to this girl, it's not so strange, maybe it's those eyes, whether it's the light full of fighting spirit before, or the appearance of struggling in the abyss, they all caught Chaoyang's attention.

"I killed my father and mother..."

The girl said in a hoarse voice, the corners of her mouth curled up in a strange way, the men's hat on her head fell to the ground long ago, and her long hair fell loose.

Chaoyang didn't speak, and listened silently to the girl's seemingly unconscious words.

"Actually, I know they are not our real fathers and mothers... They made us do a lot of heavy work... and beat us often... But after all, they gave us water and steamed buns so we wouldn't starve to death... "

"My brother is two years older than me, he is so good-looking..." The girl showed a proud expression.

"I tried my best to make money, but I didn't expect that pair of beasts to sell my brother..."

The girl thought of her thin brother, tears finally fell down.

"I secretly drugged them into their meals, and then killed them... I killed them so easily... Why didn't I kill them yesterday... This way my brother won't be betrayed..."

"It's all my fault, I'm so stupid, why didn't I react when they sent my brother to the private school, I naively thought that they finally realized their conscience, and thought that as long as I raised the tuition fee, my brother could continue to go to school... ..."

The girl covered her face and shrugged her shoulders.

Children from poor families headed home early, especially those like her who were precocious, but after all, she was a 12-year-old child. After her last hope was overwhelmed by a straw, it was enough to make her despair.

Chaoyang heard the girl talking intermittently, and probably understood what was going on.

Chaoyang looked at the despair in the girl's eyes, and wondered if he had this look for a moment before he died?When Chaoyun attacked her again and again, he faced death again and again, did he gradually turn into this kind of despair?

Although this girl's situation is different from his own, it does not prevent Chaoyang from showing a little pity for this girl.

"I will help you solve the murder and help you find your brother, okay?"

Chaoyang said slowly in a soft and cold voice, took off the veil with his hands, and looked directly into the other party's eyes.

When the girl heard "help you find your brother", she looked excitedly at Chaoyang, met those infinitely deep black eyes, and also saw that face that was too beautiful to be easily described in words.

But what imprinted in the girl's heart were those dark eyes with a hint of pity, staring at her like that, as if she was her salvation.

--------

The girl's name is Yi Meng, and her brother's name is Handan.

Handan is a boundless dream.

Yi Meng said that it was taken by their biological mother, but they were still young at that time, and only remembered the name that was called constantly, but forgot the vague mother's face.

Yi Meng has now decided to stay by Chaoyang's side, and the condition is to help her find Handan.

As a result, there was one more person in Chaoyang's team.

The weather was getting warmer, and at noon the sun became hotter and hotter. Chaoyang was sitting in the room practicing calligraphy.

Finally, after reading the book many times at a rate of five seconds, she set her sights on the slender book in Tsing Yi.

Although Chaoyang was sometimes emotionally dull and didn't want to think too much, she was very sensitive, and she noticed something wrong with the writing almost immediately.

Chao Yang asked suspiciously, "What do you want to say?"

"...Master..." Shuwen was startled, a little twitchy, he pouted habitually, and lowered his head at a loss when he realized something was wrong.

Now Chaoyang is really a little confused, the appearance of Shuwen is still rare, even if Chaoyang is particularly conniving to him, but as Shuwen grows older, he becomes more mature and disciplined, and he will not easily confront him again. Chaoyang has a gesture of intimacy, and more of a restrained dependence and respect.

Shuwen's eyes were a little red, and under Chaoyang's gaze, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Master, why did you bring someone back...?"

Am I not good enough and I am not enough?Shuwen was tangled in his heart awkwardly.Yesterday she saw that her master had brought Yi Meng back to be her personal maid, and she began to feel uncomfortable. She felt that half of her master had been snatched away by others.

She knew that once she said this, it would be a big gap. When will it be her turn to interfere with what the master wants to do, even if she has been together for nearly ten years, she must not be arrogant. What should I do if I find my master disgusted?Regretting his impulsiveness, thinking that Chaoyang might hate her because of this, he couldn't help turning pale, his delicate face looked miserable at this moment.

Looking at Shuwen Chaoyang who looked like this, he frowned slightly, "It's just an ordinary maid, why do you care so much?"

"Because the master has only been with me for many years!" Shuwen blurted out.

Randomly, there was silence.

Shuwen knew what kind of person her master was, and she was not very sensitive to feelings. If she didn't say it directly, she might never understand.

Finally, Chao Yang said, "Then let her go."

Shuwen looked up in surprise.

Chaoyang took up the pen again, raised his wrist, and the word "one" came naturally.

"I said it was just an ordinary maid."

Chaoyang's words fell, and there was a crisp sound of broken bowls outside the door.

Shuwen quickly pushed open the door, only to see Yi Mengqiao standing at the door, her eyes wide open with complicated eyes, and the porridge bowl in her hand fell to the ground.

Shuwen frowned, and cleaned up the embarrassment in front of Chaoyang, and said displeasedly, "What are you doing?"

Didn't you tell the master not to disturb others when he is in the study?Shuwen immediately looked at the other party suspiciously.

Yi Meng's voice was clear and crisp, and she unexpectedly yelled at Shuwen, "It's none of your business! You hate it to death!"

In the last sentence, Yi Meng looked towards Chaoyang, tears flickered in her eyes, and she was a little bit stubborn and hurt.

After all, she is just a 12-year-old girl, she can't be deep, and she can't be forbearing, so she expresses her grievances and injuries unscrupulously.

The things in those eyes have always attracted Chaoyang, because she felt that Yi Meng's eyes contained things she had once had, and things she didn't have now but made her envious.

Faced with those eyes, Chaoyang still felt soft-hearted, and the corners of his mouth softened slightly, and he said to Yi Meng, "Come here."

Yi Meng couldn't refuse Chao Yang's soft eyes, so even though she was sad and awkward, she still walked over as she said.

Chaoyang asked Shuwen to clean up the place, took Yi Meng's hand and walked out of the room.

Shuwen stared at Chaoyang holding Yimeng's hand from behind, the color of his face turned from white to blue.

The master obviously hates being touched by others!

------------

"Yimeng, your brother has escaped from that person." That person is the trafficker who took over Handan.

"Then what about him now?" Yi Meng excitedly pulled Chao Yang's sleeve and asked.

"I can't find out where he is now. He must have been helped by someone with a lot of means and power to cover up his tracks."

Yi Meng didn't know whether to worry or be thankful, although he could not find his brother's whereabouts now, but at least his brother was safe, that's good.

Chaoyang saw Yi Meng's face change, and said flatly, "He's fine."

"Yeah." Yi Meng nodded with a relieved smile on her lips.

"Then it's time to talk about your plan." Chao Yang looked at Yi Meng and said.

"Plan?" Yi Meng raised her head in doubt.

"It's not good for you to stay by my side." Thinking of Shuwen's appearance, Chaoyang Emei frowned slightly.

Shuwen was the girl she had always doted on, and it was rare for her to reveal her feelings like this.

"Why? Because of the book?" Yi Meng's eyes widened when she heard that Chaoyang wanted her to leave. Her big eyes were full of questioning, as if she was accusing Chaoyang of his chaos and abandonment.

Chaoyang turned his eyes away and said, "No." After a pause, he continued, "You should have your own way to go, and staying by my side is not suitable for you."

"Why do you say that I'm not suitable to be by your side?" Yi Meng's mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc, "You hypocritical woman, you just don't want me to follow you, why don't you just say so?"

"...Then I'll just say it straight." Chaoyang said indifferently, without any ups and downs in his tone. "I have arranged two paths for you. The first one is that I will find you a wealthy family or the identity of a housekeeper. As for whether to go to Yunqi or stay in the southern country, you can decide for yourself. At that time, you can live a normal life and have enough food and clothing. The second is to help me do things, and I will give you relative benefits and freedom."

Yi Meng stared blankly at Chaoyang's lips opening and closing as he said indifferent words, a little unable to react.

She could clearly feel Chaoyang's pity for her, but why was Chaoyang so indifferent to her in a blink of an eye.

It's really ruthless.

Chaoyang's gentleness is certainly intoxicating, but her coldness is even more unbearable.

Yi Meng lowered her head, her eyes filled with tears.

Sure enough, no one will really treat her well except her brother...

"I choose the first one, to go to the West Wind Country."

She didn't impulsively reject Chao Yang's olive branch and helping Yi Meng. She knew that these two choices were opportunities, and if she gave up, she would be beaten back to her original shape, which was nothing.

Unexpectedly, Yu Yimeng chose West Wind, but Chaoyang didn't show it, but said, "Well, I will make arrangements for you tonight. You get up and go to Yunqi tomorrow, and I will send someone to escort you."

After Chaoyang finished speaking, he turned and left without looking at Yi Meng again.The dark red dress didn't look seductive on her, but it was frozen ice, faintly majestic.

Yi Meng stared at the back of Chaoyang leaving with complicated eyes, the nails of her left hand sank into the flesh but she didn't feel any pain.

Chaoyang walked to the corner and stopped, and glanced at Yi Meng in the distance. The other party was lowering his head, unable to see his expression clearly, but his thin body looked very pitiful.

Chaoyang sighed lightly.

All she can do is to try her best to make the life of the person she feels pity better, and she can't guarantee anything else.
