end of night

Chapter 51

Bai Xinglan could hear the soft sound of high heels.

The man walked in, Wan Chaofeng stood up, looked at the woman at the door, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xu Yuan didn't expect that the person who was with Wan Chaofeng was actually a woman. With a slightly hesitant look on her face, she explained: "I came here with my friend today and saw your secretary at the door. I haven't thought about it for a long time. See you, let's say hello."

Bai Xinglan turned his head to look, this woman had good taste in clothes, she looked like a pampered young lady.

She smiled softly, Xu Yuan just looked down and saw Bai Xinglan.

Xu Yuan has never seen Bai Xinglan before. She was raised in a deep boudoir before, and she didn't leave the house without leaving the house. After seeing Bai Xinglan, she smiled softly, looking very well-bred, and greeted her: "You good."

Bai Xinglan stood up, she didn't miss the disgust that flashed in the young lady's eyes just now.

Hehe, you are looking at her directly as an enemy, right?

"Hello, Mr. Wan, do you have something else to talk about? Then I won't bother you." Bai Xinglan picked up his coat from the hanger and wanted to leave, but Wan Chaofeng stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.

"Sit down, Xu Yuan, come with me." Wan Chaofeng stepped forward with a long leg and went out first. Xu Yuan looked at Bai Xinglan who was standing where he was, with a trace of viciousness in his eyes.

Bai Xinglan pretended not to understand, and the smile on his face was very polite and distant.

She was afraid that she would have another person pointing at her nose and scolding her in the future, but it didn't matter, Xu Yuan seemed to be a bit wise.

Bai Xinglan sat back in her seat, but she didn't hang up her clothes again.

She was still ready to leave.

Not long after, Wan Chaofeng came in from outside, Bai Xinglan turned his head slightly, and he sat in front of her again.

Bai Xinglan laughed, and his tone seemed to be teasing: "If I'm not mistaken, the one just now is Mr. Wan's fiancée, she looks good, and Mr. Wan is really a good couple."

"Miss Bai is making fun of me." Wan Chaofeng looked at Bai Xinglan as if he was about to leave, with some displeasure between his brows.

Bai Xinglan didn't speak, she just smiled, she looked at Wan Chaofeng lightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Wan Chaofeng felt a little itchy from her eyes, so he simply talked to Bai Xinglan: "20 years ago, something happened in Wan's family, and it was Li Qinglan's father who made great efforts to keep it safe. For me, I want to repay his family's previous kindness, but for Miss Bai, I am very reluctant."

Bai Xinglan's face slowly froze, 20 years ago?She seemed to remember something.

"Mr. Wan wants to repay his kindness. Just repay him. What does it have to do with Xinglan?"

"Li Qinglan must be trying to take advantage of my Wanjia's power to bring down the Zhuang family. After you lose your protection, he wants you to die. It's as easy as squeezing an ant to death."

"so what?"

"Follow me, even if Mrs. Zhuang falls, you will still have my protection."

After leaving Yunwu Villa, Bai Xinglan's expression was very cold.

The driver didn't say a word after seeing Bai Xinglan get into the car, and boldly asked, "Miss Bai, are you going back to Rongyuan?"

After Bai Xinglan left Yunwu Villa, he kept thinking in his heart that these men really didn't have any good things.

They thought that the only confidence in Bai Xinglan was the Zhuang family, and as long as the Zhuang family was gone, Bai Xinglan would be at their mercy.

Wan Chaofeng wanted the Zhuang family to die, and also got Bai Xinglan at the same time.

Is Bai Xinglan stupid?Doesn't she understand the real intention of Wan Chaofeng's words?

"Go to the Zhuang's old house." Bai Xinglan had always had a lot of questions before, maybe she could understand something by going to the Zhuang's old house.

In fact, very few people went to Bai Xinglan, the old house of the Zhuang family. Before Yang Wei died, even though Yang Wei divorced Wan Chaofeng, she still lived there all the time.

Zhuang Yishen seemed to be a little lenient towards Yang Wei, but after the divorce, he always lived in Wanjin Garden, with Bai Xinglan.

Sometimes Zhuang Yishen would go back to get things, and Bai Xinglan would follow him, visiting the manor by the way.

It's just that once she happened to meet Yang Wei, and Yang Wei came up to beat her, but Bai Xinglan was hugged by Zhuang Yishen.

At that time, she should have looked like a favored bad woman who came up to show off her might, and she must have given people a particularly bad feeling.

The car parked behind the gate of the dealer's old house, and there were two other cars behind. They were bodyguards responsible for protecting Bai Xinglan's life.

The old house of the Zhuang family is not as brilliant as it used to be, perhaps because it is rainy today, it looks a bit down and out.

It is said that the monkeys scatter when the tree falls, is this also true?

After the driver got out of the car, he held up a black umbrella for Bai Xinglan. Bai Xinglan walked into the house, feeling a little suffocated.

The people in the family didn't seem to expect that someone would come suddenly. An old woman hurriedly came from the backyard. After seeing Bai Xinglan, her expression turned from searching to hatred.

She was also holding a broom in her hand, and the broom seemed to be trying to drive Bai Xinglan out.

Bai Xinglan didn't move, and her expression didn't change too much.

The bodyguard snatched the old woman's broom, and finally a trace of panic appeared on the old woman's face.

"Sister-in-law Chen, I'll just come and take a look. You don't have to be too hostile to me, I won't do anything to you."

She just wanted to step in, but Mrs. Chen fell down in front of her and said loudly: "You vicious woman, the husband is dead, and the wife is also dead! You vixen, how long will you want to harm my dealer?" ?!"

Bai Xinglan glanced at her faintly, smiled and said nothing.

The bodyguard dragged her away, and Bai Xinglan went directly to Zhuang Yishen's study.

Zhuang Yishen's study in the Zhuang family's old house was several times larger than when he was in Wanjin Jiayuan.

Bai Xinglan suddenly thought, those people who wanted to kill her before were still looking for something.

Why don't you come to the dealer's old house to look for it, instead of going to Wanjin Jiayuan.

Surrounded by Bai Xinglan, there are so many books here that she doesn't know where to find them.

Many objects here are very antique, Bai Xinglan suddenly remembered that this old house was actually sold to Zhuang Yishen by someone else.

Zhuang Yishen used to be a poor boy, no one would pass him such a big house.

Walking to the desk, Bai Xinglan's hand slowly brushed over the wooden table, and she knocked suddenly.

There are pens and inks on the wooden table. Zhuang Yishen used to love calligraphy and painting, and sometimes he always had to draw two pictures to enjoy himself when he was bored.

It seems that he alone is not enough, he still has to teach Bai Xinglan.

There should be something in the table, which is hollowed out.

Bai Xinglan looked down and saw that there was no flaw on the surface of the table. She squatted down and looked up from the bottom, and she saw a small but regular gap.

She tapped lightly, only one piece was empty, but the whole table seemed to be very complete, and there was nothing at all from the outside.

Bai Xinglan's complexion was not very good, she temporarily let go of this table, then turned to look at other places.

It seems that nothing has been found.

But Bai Xinglan didn't give up, she called the bodyguards in and told them to smash the table.

After hearing Bai Xinglan's words, Mrs. Chen turned pale with shock, and quickly said, "You have lived so young! These are all things that Mr.

The bodyguard covered Mrs. Chen's mouth.

"Sister-in-law Chen, if you don't want to stay here any longer, I'll change it to another one. Anyway, whoever guards the house will guard it, right?" Bai Xinglan smiled harmlessly, looking innocent at all, but said The words that come out are extremely vicious.

Mrs. Chen finally calmed down. The bodyguards sawed open the table and successfully got the things in the dark compartment intact.

Bai Xinglan sat on the sofa in the study, watching them take those things out of the table and hand them to him.

It was a bulging file bag, which seemed to contain a lot of things.

Bai Xinglan asked them all to go out, and she opened the file bag in the study alone.

The things inside seem to be very old, and the photos are slightly yellowed.

Bai Xinglan put all the contents of the file on the tea table, and when she saw the small pure white box in the file bag, she laughed.

This box is exactly the same size as the black box in her hand, but the color is different.

And these photos.

Bai Xinglan looked at these photos one by one, and then put them away again.

There were also a few letters, which were neatly arranged according to the date, and Bai Xinglan opened them one by one, and read them word by word.

In the end, she couldn't hold back and laughed.

The bodyguards outside the room heard the voices inside and looked at each other. They didn't even know whether they should go in and have a look.

After Bai Xinglan finished laughing, he slowly calmed down.

She raised her hand to hold the small pure white box and looked at it.

Zhuang Yishen.

Li Qinglan.

Ah.

You returned to China not long after Zhuang Yishen's death, and now I... know your purpose.

Bai Xinglan picked up the phone and called Zhou Tian: "I asked you to put in the people before, how is it now?"

Zhou Tian's voice was still calm and respectful: "One died, but the others are fine, and one has already entered the interior. What's your order?"

"Send me Li Qinglan's latest itinerary."

"Okay, wait a minute."

Bai Xinglan hung up the phone, and with this file bag, she left the Zhuang family's old house.

Duan Chengze naturally received the news. He knew that Bai Xinglan had gone to the old house, but he didn't expect that after Bai Xinglan left the old house, he would come directly to Zhuang's to find him.

At that time, Duan Chengze had just finished a meeting. The secretary said that there was someone waiting in his office. He asked who it was, and the secretary replied that it was Mrs. Zhuang.

Duan Chengze's brows and eyes relaxed a little, and he entered the office.

Zhuang Yishen's previous office, Duan Chengze, did not occupy the magpie's nest. Instead, he set up an office on the other side of this floor, and his behavior was fairly low-key.

Bai Xinglan was sitting on the leather sofa in his office. A secretary brought Bai Xinglan a pot of black tea. Bai Xinglan sipped it slowly, watching the scenery of the southern city from the Zhuang's building.

When Duan Chengze entered the office, what he saw was Bai Xinglan sweeping over with her somewhat charming eyes, and then smiled lightly: "President Duan."

Duan Chengze walked over, he smiled respectfully: "You can just call me by my full name."

Bai Xinglan put down the black tea in his hand, and Duan Chengze sat opposite her.

He felt that Bai Xinglan seemed to have something on his mind now.

"I came today because I actually want to ask you something."

"You say."

Bai Xinglan thought about it, but decided not to show Duan Chengze the bag of things.

For Duan Chengze, Zhuang Yishen is his benefactor and his belief.

If Duan Chengze knew about Zhuang Yishen's past, it would be difficult for Duan Chengze to be used by her in the future.

"You have been with Zhuang Yishen for many years, right? Before he was alive...Actually, I didn't care about him a lot of times. Although he lived with me in Wanjin Garden, I knew he would sometimes go back to the old house. After I followed him, do you know what he sometimes went back to the old house for?"
