It was already late in the night, so although Tie Shan had a strong physique, he could be said to be physically and mentally exhausted after rushing around for a whole day. He was currently walking home alone. On a dark street not far from home, a black car suddenly appeared and stopped at the side of the road. Immediately after, two black-clothed men got out of the car and quickly followed Tie Shan.
When Tie Shan realized this, his hands were already wrapped around two strong men, one on the left and one on the right. He tried to cry out, but a wet cloth covered his mouth and soaked him in strong anesthetic. Tie Shan struggled for a while before his entire body went limp, his eyes slowly drooped down, and then he lost consciousness.
They kept talking, but Xiao Fen just got in the car and returned home. It was getting dark, and sleep was approaching fast, so she did not take off her clothes and just lay on the bed for a while and fell asleep.
Xiao Fen's room was on the second floor, and the glass door of the balcony was opened. The wind blew in, and a gust of wind blew into Xiao Fen's slim body, causing her to wake up slowly from her sleep.
The sleepy Xiao Fen could vaguely hear a familiar voice calling to her.
"Xiao Fen, Xiao Fen..."
"Xiaolong? Is that you? " Xiao Fen suddenly saw a man appear in front of her. His figure and appearance were extremely familiar to her, to the point where she blurted out Xiao Long's name.
"It's me, Li Xiaolong." The man replied, "I came here to tell you two things."
"Are you really a dragon? You... Not... Isn't it dead? " Xiao Fen was not very clear-headed, she still had a drowsy look on her face.
"I am dead, but I have to tell you the truth." The man said, "Firstly, I didn't kill your father, only Lin Kai did. He drugged the alcohol for me to drink and then used all his effort to move me into a well-prepared secret room to blame me for it."
"You … Is what you said true? " Xiao Fen's face turned slightly pale as she hurriedly asked.
"Listen to what I have to say first. This is one of the reasons." The man continued, "Secondly, not only did Lin Kai plan to kill your father, he also killed me and my sister Xiao Yu. If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself. If he has a clear conscience, then call him to my grave and swear to prove his innocence. "
"Is this useful?" Xiao Fen was skeptical.
"You must trust me, or else your father will never be able to rest in peace." The man said, "As long as you do what I say, you will know the truth. You have no other choice. Do you want your father to hate Jiuquan? "
"I... I also want to know the truth, but are you a human or a ghost? Why should I believe you? " Xiao Fen asked.
"Again, you have no choice. If you don't do as I say, the truth will be buried forever. Remember, tomorrow night at 11 PM. No matter what, please bring Lin Kai to my grave no matter what method you use. "
"You … You still haven't told me, are you a human or a ghost? " Xiao Yu's curiosity was piqued and she wanted to get to the bottom of this.
The man did not make a sound, he only extended his hand and waved in front of Xiao Fen, teaching her to fall back into bed and sleep soundly.
When Xiao Fen woke up again, the sky was already bright white. She opened her eyes and felt the blinding sunlight. She immediately stood up and looked around, but there was no shadow of her.
"So it was a dream." Xiao Fen took a deep breath. Although she knew it was a dream, she still felt uneasy.
Xiao Fen had never had a dream as real and profound as last night. She faintly felt that she had to do something. When he was about to get up from the bed, he suddenly discovered that there was a necklace on the bed. It was worn by a man. There was a small round gold medal hanging on it. The word "dragon" was engraved on it in traditional Chinese. Although she hadn't seen Long Haochen for very long, she still recognized that this was one of her belongings.
"Why is his necklace here?" Xiao Fen stared at the necklace in her hand, she could not understand no matter how she thought about it, "Did he really come by last night? He's not dead! "
Xiao Fen thought this way, but felt that it was not right, and thought: If the person who came last night was Xiao Long, then who was buried in the grave? His corpse is being handled by me and Tie Shan, even if I admit fault, could it be that his good friend Tie Shan would also be mistaken? "
Xiao Fen didn't think too much about it. In order to solve the many questions and find the truth she wanted, she decided to find Lin Kai.
Xiao Fen never procrastinated.
She changed into a new set of clothes and went straight to Lin Kai's house.
Lin Kai had already received a call from Xiao Fen, and personally went to the door to welcome him in.
"It's only been a day and you're already missing me?" Lin Kai poured a cup of fruit juice and handed it over to Xiao Fen: "Come, have a drink. I'm free today, so I can accompany you for a whole day. "
Xiao Fen drank a mouthful of fruit juice and placed it on the table.
"What? Looking at your expression, you aren't here to denounce me, right?" Lin Kai looked at Xiao Fen, and asked tentatively.
Xiao Fen's eyes shone, and she replied: "What crime did you commit?"
"Of course not. I'm just worried that you will blame it on me." Lin Kai shrugged his shoulders.
"How do you know he's dead?" Xiao Fen was surprised.
"That day when Tie Shan went to my hotel to stir up trouble, you bailed him out. You even helped that brat erect a tombstone, how could it be fake?" Lin Kai said as if it was as expected.
"You sent someone to spy on me?" Xiao Fen said angrily.
"How can this be monitored? I'm protecting you! " Lin Kai said, "That Tie Shan is not a good person, he's just a common person. What if he molests you unrestrainedly?"
After Xiao Fen heard this, she did not refute and after a while, she slowly said: "Forget it, I did not bring up this matter today, I specifically came to see you."
"Really?" Lin Kai raised his eyebrows, and said excitedly: "It's rare that you're so interested, so I'll have to cherish it."
"I'm hungry. Why don't you have something to eat first?" Xiao Fen made a request.
Lin Kai said: "Isn't that easy? I immediately told the servants to prepare it for us to have a good meal. How about we go to a friend's PARTY tonight? "
"As you say." Xiao Fen agreed readily.
Xiao Fen had stayed at Lin Kai's house for half a day, and the sun was already setting in the west. She was at the dressing table putting on makeup, and Lin Kai walked over from the back.
"There's no need to intentionally dress up. You're already very beautiful. Let's quickly change clothes and head out. It's getting late." As Lin Kai spoke, he had already arrived beside Xiao Fen and bent down to gently kiss her tender cheeks.
"Since this is your friend's ball, I should dress myself more properly …" Before Xiao Fen could finish, she heard Lin Kai asking with concern: "Where did you get this necklace?" With that, he grabbed the necklace from the dressing table and took a look. Her expression immediately became slightly twisted.
"Give it back to me!" Taking the chance when Lin Kai wasn't prepared, Xiao Fen turned around and snatched back the necklace, holding it tightly behind him.
"Whose is it?" Lin Kai asked.
"A friend's."
"What friend?" I'm just here to take a look, is there a need to be so anxious? "
"Let's not talk anymore. Let's head out." After Xiao Fen finished speaking, she turned around and walked out.
"Halt!" Lin Kai reached out and pulled Xiao Fen back, "You still haven't answered my question?"
"Is that so important to you?" Xiao Fen stared at Lin Kai and asked a question in reply.
"Even if you didn't say it, I already know that this is Xiaolong's necklace." Lin Kai said.
"So what? Now that he's dead, will you still be jealous of a dead man? " Xiao Fen emphasized.
"Since he's dead, why did you still leave behind his inheritance? Do you want to put on a ghost show? " Lin Kai's face changed, his tone becoming extremely stern.
"You are truly unreasonable!" Xiao Fen also did not give in, and continued: "If you do not plan to go, I will be going back."
Lin Kai tried his best to calm his emotions, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Xiao Fen, I hope you'll answer honestly, have you fallen in love with Xiaolong?"
Xiao Fen didn't expect Lin Kai to have such a question, and stared blankly for a long while before saying: "No, never, you're overthinking it."
"You hesitated."
"That is because I didn't think that you would still doubt me. You don't trust me that much, do you even consider my feelings?" Xiao Fen's words were sharp, loud and clear, making Lin Kai speechless.
"Alright, I was wrong." Lin Kai nodded his head, "I was thinking too much. I was wrong about you, I apologize to you …"
"Forget it, let's not talk about the meat jelly. Are you going or not?" Xiao Fen interrupted.
"Go, of course, we're leaving now." Lin Kai made a gesture, "Please!"
"Dang Dang Dang …" After ten knocks, it was ten o'clock at night. Xiao Fen subconsciously looked at the time, and then bade farewell to Lin Kai in a hurry.
"What's the matter? Why are you leaving so soon?" Lin Kai had doubts in his heart as he stared at Xiao Fen and asked.
"I have some private matters, so I have to leave for a while. You don't have to drive me, I can take a taxi. " After Xiao Fen finished speaking, she walked out.
Lin Kai caught up quickly, and said to Xiao Fen as they walked: "Since you want to leave, there's no point for me to stay. Just wait for me to send you off."
Hearing that, Xiao Fen stopped and looked at Lin Kai, and said seriously: "No need, I just said that this is my private matter, can't you give me some private space?"
Lin Kai was silent for a moment, then nodded his head with difficulty: "OK, I will wait for you at home."
Xiao Fen no longer bothered with Lin Kai. She turned around and walked out, and stopped a taxi at the entrance.
The taxi carried Xiao Fen away from the city center.
About an hour later, the taxi stopped at the foot of the hill behind the slums. Xiao Fen paid the driver and went up the mountain with the moonlight.
The mountain road was not considered rugged, but at night, the mountain wind whistled like a group of angry devils howling. The tree shadows were like layers of ghostly shadows, causing Xiao Fen to feel a chill down her spine.
Xiao Fen mustered her courage and went to the place where she and Tie Shan had been during the day with great difficulty. She believed that this was where Xiao Long had buried her bones. Because there was a tombstone inserted here, the word "Dragon" was still very eye-catching.
"Xiaolong, I've come as promised. If you're here, no matter if you're a human or a ghost, please respond to me!" Although the sound of Xiao Fen's voice wasn't loud as she stood in front of the tombstone, it was exceptionally clear in the empty depths of the mountain.
"Xiaolong, I know you're not dead yet. Why aren't you coming out to meet me?" Xiao Fen said as she looked around to see if anyone was hiding in the vicinity.
"Why aren't you talking?" As Xiao Fen spoke, she showed the silver white necklace on her hand in front of the tombstone and continued, "This necklace was left in my room by you. I don't believe that this was done by a ghost. If you are looking at me from somewhere, even if you don't speak, you should at least give me an explanation so that I can confirm that you are not dead and make my heart feel better. "
However, other than the sound of the mountain breeze insect, there was no other sound of human speech, nor was there any other sound that was worth paying attention to. Xiao Fen could not help but feel a sense of sadness. She slowly knelt down in front of the grave and said sorrowfully: "Xiaolong, I'm sorry … "Sorry …" As she spoke, she could not help but feel tears welling up in her eyes. She lowered her head and lightly sobbed.
"There's nothing to be sorry for. You don't have to feel guilty about it. It's not your fault at all." At this time, another voice suddenly sounded out. It was actually Lin Kai.
Hearing that, Xiao Fen turned his head, and seeing that it was Lin Kai, he was not surprised, and said indifferently: "You're monitoring me again?"
"I'm protecting you in the dark." Lin Kai said as he walked towards Xiao Fen, "Do you feel sorry towards Xiaolong?"
"You heard it?"
"I only hear your constant apologies."
"Yes, he died because of me. My heart is very uneasy."
"His death was an accident. What does it have to do with you?"
"He was killed."
"That can only mean that he was unlucky."
"Do you think my father deserved to be killed?"
Lin Kai's face slightly changed, just like the moon being covered by thin clouds, it looked slightly gloomy: "I didn't mean that, don't confuse unrelated things with one another."
Xiao Fen laughed in disdain, "Did you force Xiao Long to drink a lot on the night my father died?"
"Who told you that?" Lin Kai's mental state could not help but tensed up as he glared at Xiao Fen.
"That's true." Xiao Fen accepted it tacitly and continued to speak, "If a person wanted to set up a secret room in their own territory, it would be too easy. "Tell me, is my father's death related to you?"
"Are you crazy? You actually suspect me?" Lin Kai shouted.
"I've suspected you since a long time ago. You acted as if you were respectful and fawning on my father, but your heart was filled with resentment. You wish you could get rid of him later, don't you?"
"Nonsense!" Lin Kai's eyes were round, looking like he was about to devour someone.
"You don't have to be so excited. If you don't know what you're doing, don't do it." Xiao Fen took the chance and struck the iron while it was still hot, "Not only did you blame Xiaolong for the crime, but you also sent people to kill him, and then throw his corpse into the mountains. Did I say anything wrong?"
"You … You said I killed Xiaolong? " Lin Kai was so excited that his voice trembled.
"Isn't it?" Xiao Fen said, "Do you dare to swear in front of his grave?"
"Why should I swear? I just found out that he's dead, so why did they send people to kill him? " Lin Kai refuted with all his might.
"Since you didn't do it, why didn't you dare swear in front of his grave?" Xiao Fen asked.
"I swear it! I didn't kill him, and I didn't instruct anyone to do so. Lin Kai's face was completely ripped apart as he scolded loudly.
Xiao Fen was just about to say something when a third person's voice interrupted him. "He's right, he didn't kill me." While they were talking, a person walked out from the depths of the forest. It was Li Xiaolong.
When the small dragon suddenly appeared, both Xiao Fen and Lin Kai could not help but be stunned. Xiao Long continued, "Xiao Fen, don't be afraid. I am not dead, it is just that my poor little sister is dead at the hands of this beast!" As she said that, she raised her right hand and pointed at Lin Kai.
Lin Kai composed himself, walked a few steps forward and said to Xiao Long: "Brat, what the hell are you doing? "You did all this just to slander me as a murderer?"
"Let me ask you, did you instruct someone to kill Xiao Fen's father?" Xiao Long asked seriously.
"No, I didn't do anything. You were the one who killed him!" Lin Kai was as excited as a roaring beast.
"You still want to argue?" Xiao Long waved his hand and saw a group of people surrounding them. There were at least a dozen of them, all dressed in black and carrying guns.
Lin Kai did not know where these people came from, but he was so scared that his legs went soft. He retreated a few steps and almost fell down. Is the punishment severe enough to force a confession? "
"Bring him out!" The dragon gestured again. He saw a young man with a square head and square face being pushed in front of the crowd.
"You … Why are you here? " Lin Kai was not small, "Didn't I give you a sum of money and sent you abroad?"
"Young master, paper cannot contain fire, you should just accept it!" Ever since I killed someone for you, my heart has been very unsettled. I truly regret that I did not know what to do. " The young man spoke word by word, causing Lin Kai to gnash his teeth.
"You bastard, you betrayed me!" In his fury, Lin Kai walked forward and ruthlessly kicked the young man. The young man was kicked to the ground. Just as Lin Kai was about to give chase, he was stopped by Xiao Long, "Stop! Otherwise, I will blow your head off with a single shot! " He had a shiny black pistol in his hand.
"If you call him a bastard, then you're worse than an animal!" Xiao Long pointed his gun at Lin Kai. "You aren't even letting a young girl who hasn't reached adulthood go, you killed my sister! She has no enmity with you, why would you kill her, why! "
Hearing that, Lin Kai suddenly laughed wildly: "You kept on saying that I killed your sister, so how did your sister die? I don't know anything at all! "
"You won't cry until you see the coffin!" Xiao Long pointed his spear at Lin Kai and took a few steps forward.
