Some people said that the more you read, the more confused you will be. Lu Wan obviously didn't belong to this category.
She was born in a scholarly family. Her parents and even her maternal grandparents were all very famous scholars. Since she was a child, she had been with Tang, Song, Ci, Jing and Shi Ziyi. She could be considered the type of person who was well-read and knowledgeable. She fell in love with the handsome and elegant Fang Yixing and married him. Then she lived a quiet life of studying and writing. The Fang family had gone through too many hardships in these years. As a woman, she had to stand up and help with the housework of the Fang family. She had to bear too much responsibility and was looked down upon.
She looked gentle, but her heart was firm. She had never believed in ghosts and gods.
But today, she felt restless.
She always felt that something important was leaving her, but she couldn't figure out what it was.
"Have you seen Fang Yan?" Lu Wan asked. Her first reaction was to wonder if something had happened to Fang Yan. Because since he was a child, she had been worried about this precious son.
She knew that her son did very well in Huacheng, but she also knew that her son seemed to have provoked some big shots.
Fang Yixin, the eldest aunt, put down the cloth sole that she was making and said, "I just saw him go to the backyard. He was either chatting with his enemies or playing chess with the old man. This child has really grown up. He looks calm and reliable. He doesn't go out to play after the New Year. Now he is in love with the girl from the Ye family. Will the wedding be held next year? "
Lu Wan was a little relieved. As a mother, she couldn't find any fault with her son, Fang Yan's behavior. She felt sweet when she saw him every day. She even went to sleep with a smile.
Everyone said that the hope of the Fang family was in Fang Yan. She didn't have any opinion on this. They said that Fang Yan was the hope of the Fang family. Wasn't it a disguised praise for the excellence of their own son?
"He is not a child anymore. Can he go out to hunt rabbits and birds like before? The marriage with the Ye family is still far away. Who knows what the Ye family thinks? But in a few days, I have to go to the Ye Family to find Wen Rourou's mother. It will be good if she succeeds — I will send them a pot of tea. "Lu Wan said.
Lu Wan made a pot of the best Sparrow Tongue and sent it to the backyard. As expected, Fang Yan was playing chess with the old man in Fang Huwei's cottage. Fang Huwei made a wrong move and was clamoring to take it back. Fang Yan pressed on the chessboard and disagreed, saying that one should not regret a move. The old man and the young man were arguing fiercely.
Lu Wan put down the teapot and persuaded, "Fang Yan, let your grandpa —"
"Let? Who asked him to give way? " Fang Huwei said with his eyes wide open, "I'm just getting old and my eyesight isn't good. I accidentally put the stone in the wrong place. He just needs me to put it back. What are you giving in for? "
Lu Wan knew Grand Master Fang's temper. He was stubborn and old-fashioned. Sometimes, he was like an old urchin. Hearing that he was unwilling to admit that Fang Yan gave way, Lu Wan echoed, "That's right. The stone was so small and the line was so thin. Who said he could see it clearly? Fang Yan, ask your grandfather to put that chess piece back on the board. "
Fang Yan poured a cup of Sparrow Tongue for his grandpa and then poured one for himself. He drank it all in one gulp and said, "He can't see it clearly? He could clearly count the number of feathers on the Vajra Eagle's body. This game of chess is waiting for the opponent's carelessness. If he makes a mistake, he will take back his move. How can I beat him? "
"I said it wasn't carelessness. My eyesight was bad and I couldn't see it clearly —"
"Don't regret a move. Do you have any chess skills?"
"I'm your grandpa. You said I have no chess skills. Do you have any moral character?"
Lu Wan shook her head and walked out of the cottage alone.
She knew that the old man rarely talked. He would only be particularly happy when his grandson came back. Fang Yan also understood the old man's feelings. He took advantage of the few days he was at home to stay by the old man's side. The grandfather-grandson pair had a close relationship.
Lu Wan thought of her husband again. He and her son were the two people she cared about the most.
Her husband had been busy with the art exhibition in Yan Jing recently. It was the field he had put all his effort into after he gave up martial arts. He always wanted to prove himself. No matter what, this was the most likely chance for him to succeed.
Lu Wan thought for a while and dialed her husband's number.
No one answered the phone.
Lu Wan then dialed Wang Dong's number. No one answered the phone.
Lu Wan felt more uneasy. She hurriedly dialed the number of the person in charge of the Linlang Guild Hall.
Lu Wan explained the purpose of her call. The person in charge told her politely that Mr. Fang had left for an hour. He probably hadn't reached home because the road was not smooth. He hoped that Lu Wan wouldn't worry.
Lu Wan was very worried. She hung up the phone and ran to the backyard. She looked at Fang Yan who was playing chess and said, "Fang Yan, your father hasn't come back yet —"
Fang Yan held a stone in his hand and said, "Did you call him?"
"I couldn't get through." Lu Wan said. "I'm very worried."
Fang Yan put down the stone, walked over and put his arm around his mother's shoulder. He said with a smile, "My father is an adult, and Uncle Wang Dong is with him. Don't worry, nothing will happen. If you are worried, I can drive to find him."
"Go and pick him up." Lu Wan said firmly.
"Okay. Whatever you say, it goes. I'll go and pick him up now. "Fang Yan said with a smile. "You play this game with my grandfather for me. Don't let him go. "
Fang Yan patted Lu Wan's shoulder, pushed the door and went out.
Lu Wan sat where Fang Yan had just sat. She held a stone in her hand but couldn't put it down for a long time. She looked restless.
Clatter!
Fang Huwei reached out to mess up the game in front of him. He looked at Lu Wan and said, "That guy is afraid that you will worry, so he wants you to play chess with me to distract yourself. Since you can't be distracted, go and do what you should do. It's not shameful to worry about your man. "
Lu Wan stood up and walked outside quickly.
Fang Yan pretended to be calm in front of Lu Wan. But after he came out, his expression became serious and anxious.
He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed his father Fang Yixing's number.
No one answered.
He dialed Wang Dong's number again, but no one answered.
He immediately dialed another number that he remembered in his mind, but no one answered.
Fang Yan's heart was beating very fast. He ran into the garage and drove the Hongqi car towards Yan Jing City.
Fang Yan drove with one hand and dialed Fang Yixing's number with the other.
No one answered!
No one answered!
Still no one answered!
Fang Yan became more worried. He threw his phone aside and started to concentrate on driving and thinking.
What had happened? Who was it?
They failed to use poison in Swallow Dock, so they chose to do it in Yan Jing City?
Or were they on the way back?
It was very possible that they did it on the way home. They were far away from the eye-catching places in Yan Jing City and the holy land of Swallow Dock. If they were clean, they could cover up after killing the people. No one would be able to find any traces of them.
Swallow Dock was a glorious place, but it was also a place that was destined to be forgotten by the world. In order to prevent people from looking at it, there wasn't even a proper road.
The road to Yan Jing was rugged. After being covered by ice and snow, it became as smooth as a mirror.
Driving on this road, one had to be careful of the protruding rocks that would burst the tires, and also be careful of the mud that would sink the tires. One had to be careful of the car sliding on the ice and into the deep ditches on both sides.
This was a dangerous journey. If one's driving skills weren't good enough, he wouldn't be able to drive on this road.
Fang Yan drove the car as fast as he could. Those deep ditches and rocks were thrown to one side.
His sharp eyes scanned the front and his ears twitched slightly. He took in all the movements in his surroundings.
His head leaned forward slightly, which showed his impatience. He hoped to reach Yan Jing City as soon as possible or pick up his father as soon as possible.
"Nothing must go wrong, nothing must go wrong, nothing must go wrong —" Fang Yan muttered in his heart.
Boom —
The body of the Hongqi car sank, and the hard road quickly collapsed.
This was a trap!
The enemy had hollowed out the bottom of the road, leaving only a thin layer of road on top, which was covered with ice and snow. When Fang Yan's Hongqi car rolled over, the layer of soil and ice was immediately crushed.
When Fang Yan felt the car sinking, he already knew something was wrong.
He didn't fasten the seat belt when he got in the car, which made it easier for him to escape.
He pushed the door open, his right foot tapped on the chassis of the car, and his body jumped high.
Clang —
The Hongqi car fell into the deep pit with a loud noise. This was the only antique car that Fang Huwei had in his life, and Fang Yan's favorite car, was finally destroyed.
Whoosh —
A crisp sound came through the air.
A giant net appeared above his head. The net was colorless and blended with the color of the sky. If it wasn't for the slight sound, it would have been hard to notice it.
Moreover, the net wasn't cast by human hands, but was shot out by high-tech equipment.
There was a pit below and a net above.
Whether Fang Yan continued to fly up or quickly fell down, the result would be captured by them. Moreover, the area of the net was very wide. Whether it was to the left or to the right, Fang Yan was always within its coverage for a limited period of time.
These people had calculated all the ways that Fang Yan could retaliate and were thinking of ways to capture him.
Whoosh —
The thin silk that looked like a fish net covered Fang Yan's head, forcing him to land on the ground.
From the deep ditches on both sides of the road, countless people in black jumped out and surrounded the place where Fang Yan was about to land.
