Qin Fangang flicked the ash from his cigarette. "Tao Wantian."
He reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out a wallet. Opening it, he pulled out a small colored photo and handed it to Lu Yihan. "Take a look. Do you know this woman?"
Lu Yihan only glanced at it. The woman in the photo looked very gentle and the photo was probably from a few years ago. Her clothes were from a few years ago, but the charm in her eyes was more charming than Xin Yu's. Overall, she was a person full of femininity.
But he had no impression of this person.
"I've never seen her before."
He said directly, "When Xin Yu and I got married, her mother was already dead. To be honest, I never knew her mother's name. As for her father, I've only seen him a few times. I don't know much about the Leng family."
He paused and suddenly thought of something. His eyes flashed and he asked coldly, "What? Could it be that you want to tell me now that this woman has something to say to the old man? "
Qin Fangang reached out and gently flicked a corner of the photo. He put it in his trouser pocket and said casually, "I don't think I said anything, right? Yihan, you should ask yourself. Why is it that when I mention the people around Xin Yu, the first thing that comes to your mind is whether or not they have something to do with Lu Shiyun? "
“”
"People are like this. Once they have doubts, the question mark will grow bigger and bigger. After that, as long as there's even the slightest thing, they'll become suspicious."
Lu Yihan said expressionlessly, "You're thinking too much. I said before that I don't want to be involved in this kind of thing."
"I didn't ask you to be involved."
Qin Fangang's voice was still cold. He said calmly, "But I hope you can do me a favor. Of course, I'm showing you Tao Wantian's photo now because I think one day you might see some information about this woman. I hope you can tell me that I trust you. I won't force you to help me. But now, I need to confirm something … "
The man pursed his lips and seemed to hesitate for a moment. In the end, he said slowly, "I suspect that Xin Yu's mother, Tao Wantian, didn't die five years ago. And Leng Dongming. I talked to him once, and I found that his mind was very clear. He didn't seem like someone who had been crazy for five years. And five years ago, why did he suddenly go crazy? It's impossible for me to get close to Lu Shiyun, but he still trusts you. If all of this is related to him, then he must have left some clues around him. "
“”
Lu Yihan's expression changed drastically. The man's lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes were filled with shock.
How could someone who had died five years ago still be alive? And that Leng Dongming, he's not crazy?!
No, this, this is absolutely impossible!
His heart trembled. Just as he was about to say something, he glanced around. In the next second, his expression turned even uglier.
"Xin Yu, why are you out here?"
Qin Fangang was speechless.
Xin Yu's frail body was wearing a loose hospital gown. She had one hand on the wall at the corner. Her face, which was already pale, was now as pale as a sheet of white paper. He didn't know when she had stood there. This was the end of the long corridor, less than ten meters away from where Qin Fangang was standing at the corner.
She was so close to him that she must have heard their conversation loud and clear.
Qin Fan had just turned his face when he saw her like this. Amidst the shock, there was a hint of disbelief and bewilderment. She stood there in a daze. Her expression was too stiff, as if she was trying her best to hide something, but her attempt to hide only made it more conspicuous.
He thought she had fallen asleep, so he came out. But why did she come out too?
There were some things that he didn't want to hide from her, but he felt that now wasn't the best time to tell her. He had some information about her mother, Tao Wantian, but he was really worried that she wouldn't be able to take it if such a shocking secret was revealed in front of her without warning.
So he thought of starting with Lu Yihan first. Because he only knew a little less than one-tenth of the truth.
Lu Shiyun could be said to have wiped clean what happened five years ago. The only thing he could confirm from the name list that Situ Lin gave him was that Tao Wantian was indeed still alive.
Actually, the name on the list was not Tao Wantian. Lu Shiyun would never be so careless when doing things. He had obviously gotten someone to erase her real name. However, no matter how cautious a person was, there would still be times when he made a mistake.
The name could be changed, the location could be changed, but the time of imprisonment couldn't be changed no matter what.
Five years ago, there weren't many people who were sent to the Tomb for the Living at the same time. Qin Fangang always had this suspicion, so he simply got someone to find a photo of Xin Yu's mother and send it directly to Zhang Jinghua. He didn't expect that after she recognized it, she would actually say that she looked familiar.
She couldn't be sure, because she said that everyone who was in there had actually changed their faces. But the gentle woman in the photo did give her a very familiar feeling.
As long as it was "familiar," that was enough.
Zhang Jinghua felt that Tao Wantian's appearance was familiar, so she must have seen Tao Wantian in the Tomb for the Living. But just like she said, everyone who went in had their faces completely changed, so it was normal that she couldn't recognize her.
But after she finally got out of prison, she ran to the western suburbs of C City for a reason as well. These two points were enough to prove that the person Zhang Jinghua met in prison — there was an 80% chance that it was Tao Wantian!
But up until now, he could only be sure of this.
The person had been sent to the Tomb for the Living in B City for too long. Not to mention that Qin Fangang had never been involved in politics, even someone like Situ Lin wouldn't dare to casually take a person out of there. Moreover, the person was deliberately put in there by someone with ulterior motives. He needed a lot of evidence. If Lu Shiyun was really the mastermind, he believed that he would definitely have the thing he wanted the most on him.
The current situation was like a newborn baby. Everything was unstable. Qin Fangang had always been deep and reserved in his actions, so he really didn't expect to tell Xin Yu so many shocking facts before this.
It was just that God always seemed to be against him.
Using such a method to suddenly let Xinyu know was something that no one expected.
Qin Fangang frowned and glanced at Lu Yihan. The two brothers had never seen eye to eye, but at this moment, their gazes met in the air. Unexpectedly, they had a tacit understanding.
Lu Yihan pursed his lips and didn't say anything else. He turned and walked into the elevator.
At this time, there was no use for him to stay here. Under such circumstances, Lu Yihan couldn't help but agree — only when Qin Fangang talked to her in private could she accept and digest this shocking news.
Shock!
Actually, Xin Yu wasn't the only one who was shocked.
He also couldn't believe it.
Tao Wantian was still alive? A person who had been dead for five years was still alive? How was this possible? And how was it possible that Leng Dongming wasn't crazy?
After Lu Yihan entered the elevator, he put his hands on the smooth and bright wall of the elevator. He frowned and looked at himself in the mirror. This was real. Everything he just heard was real — Leng Dongming wasn't crazy. He actually wasn't crazy?
No, he remembered the first time he went to the hospital, he rushed over because Xin Yu was suddenly injured by him. At that time, he was still annoyed when he saw Xin Yu. He thought about how he hadn't really visited Leng Dongming in the past five years. In the beginning, it was really because he didn't want to see him, but later on, he didn't realize it.
Should he go and confirm it himself now?
Lu Yihan took out his phone. His slender fingers swiped on the screen, but in the end, he didn't dial that number. He went downstairs, left the hospital, and got into his car. In the car, he quietly smoked two cigarettes. He waited until his throat was extremely bitter before he started the engine and drove away.
In the hospital's VIP ward, Qin Fangang was sitting on the sofa. He looked at the woman sitting across from him. From the beginning, her face didn't have a trace of blood. That kind of forced calmness made his heart ache. He sighed and stood up from the sofa. Just as he was about to reach out to touch her face, the woman grabbed his hand in mid-air.
Qin Fangang was stunned and even more worried. "Xin Yu, your hand is very cold."
"My heart is even colder."
Xin Yu slowly raised her head. She was so shocked that she was a little numb. She was so numb that even her heart was cold. She didn't know how to describe this feeling. Scary?
Yes, it was scary.
— — I suspect that Xin Yu's mother, Tao Wantian, didn't die five years ago.
— — And Leng Dongming. I talked to him once. I realized that his mind was very clear. He didn't seem like someone who had been crazy for five years.
This man's voice was so familiar. It was so familiar to the deepest part of her soul. His words had never made her feel scared, but now it was real.
She didn't dare to believe it. How could it be?
Was she dreaming?
But this feeling was so real that it didn't feel like a dream at all. She knew that she couldn't lie to herself. Her mother, who had been dead for five years, was actually still alive? Her father, who had been crazy for five years, was actually not crazy?
This news came more fiercely than the news that the elders she had respected for five years had suddenly turned against her.
She didn't know why God was playing such a joke on her. It wasn't funny at all, was it?
If everything Qin Fangang said was true, then what was she? Could it be that she had been an idiot for the past five years? She had lived a self-righteous life for five years. She had sacrificed for five years, but she had also been taken advantage of for five years?
