It's a pity I still love you

Chapter 17 As long as you tell me, I will believe it (1)
Because only you understand me, so you have not escaped.
-
At noon of the next day, Liu Nian went through the discharge procedures and returned home. As usual, Liu Nian turned on the TV to watch the noon news. Officials who harm the interests of the people will not be tolerated no matter where they are.

These words were clearly aimed at Ran Zhimo!
The phone rang at this moment, Liu Nian picked it up, it was Cheng Ranming's call.

"I'm downstairs with you."

"I'll go down right now."

Having nothing more to say, Liu Nian hung up the phone, picked up the prepared things and went out.Passing the things to Cheng Ranming from the car window, Liu said in a young voice, "Thank you."

Cheng Ranming took the things, glanced at them, and said, "Be careful these few days, once they see this copy, they will definitely want to find the original!"

Fleeting Nian slightly lowered his head, pursed his lower lip, "I understand."

She didn't expect to come to this point in the end, even though Ran Zhimo specifically told her not to do this, she still wanted to exchange the things left by her father.

This is not a multiple-choice question, and she may be a little more dangerous because of it, but if she doesn't do this, Ran Zhimo may really be charged with this unwarranted crime.

Cheng Ranming's work efficiency is very high. In the evening, Liu Nian received a call from him. He said: "Shao Qiren said that he should think about it carefully. He promised to let Ran Zhimo get bail pending trial first. As for the others, he will You have to discuss it with others."

Liu Nian sneered, "What else is there to think about, if he doesn't let Ran Zhimo go, he will be buried with Ran Zhimo, and he will be released on bail pending trial... a plan to delay the army?"

Cheng Ranming snorted softly as an affirmation of what she said, and then added: "He is probably not reconciled, and the only purpose of delaying the attack is that he still wants to find the original document to resolve this crisis, so be careful!"

Within half a day, this was the second time he had said the word "be careful" to her, and Liu Nian felt slightly sour, and said softly, "I understand."

"Also, don't forget what you promised me."

The sourness in his heart became worse, Liu Nian bit his lower lip, and after a while, he said those three words again: "I understand."

Waiting anxiously, Liu Nian finally saw the news of Ran Zhimo's release on bail 24 hours later in the news.

On the TV was the scene when Ran Zhimo came out of the detention center. Many reporters surrounded him. Fleeting Nian stared at the screen tightly, trying to see clearly Ran Zhimo's face among the people watching. His face was a bit haggard. The reporters They scrambled to ask a lot of questions, but Ran Zhimo kept his face cold and didn't say a word.Looking at the way Ran Zhimo pursed his lips on the screen, Liu Nian felt that he seemed a lot haggard, and at the same time couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately, he seemed to be fine.

The phone's ringtone suddenly rang at this time, Liu Nian was stunned when he saw the number displayed on the phone.

It turned out to be dyed ink!

Fleeting Nian only felt her heart beating faster, her heart was full of apprehension, but also a little bit of joy, she held the phone in her hand, but never pressed the call button.

He probably just came back, what is he looking for her now?
The bell rang persistently, over and over again, as if as long as she didn't answer it, the phone would keep ringing like this.

Concentrating on it, Liu Nian connected the phone, there was a wind coming from the receiver, and Liu Nian heard his own voice so softly: "Hello."

"Can you come out for a while? I'll wait for you by the river."

The two of them don't have any "old places" to speak of. The bridge by the river was a place they used to go to when they were together. When Liu Nian arrived there, Ran Zhimo had already arrived. The wind blew up his clothes, and she approached, only to feel the tiredness on his face so clear.

Liu Nian felt her heart constrict for a while, and she wanted to stretch out her hand to smooth his raised brow in distress, but in the end she could only say in a flat tone: "Why are you so anxious to find me out?" She turned her head to the side , If you don't look at him, it's like you don't want to see him.

The broken hair on the sideburns was gently brushed behind the ears, and the man's fingers lightly brushed her ears, tickling, and she couldn't help but took a step back to escape.

"Liu Nian, you made a deal, right?" His voice was very soft, as if she accidentally soiled his favorite book when he was a child, and he wanted to blame but couldn't bear it.

Fleeting Year almost shed tears, but held back, opened his eyes wide, and let the wind dry his eye sockets.

"What deal?" She frowned, pretending to be strange.

"You took what your father left behind and went to them to make a deal, right? Otherwise, they would never let me be released on bail at this time!"

Fleeting Nian's expression was almost surprised, "What deal? What did my father leave behind? What did my father leave behind? They? Who are they?"

Ran Zhimo's expression suddenly became serious, he looked at her and asked directly: "Liu Nian, what do you want to hide?"

"What do I want to hide? What do you want to say? You don't think your release on bail has anything to do with me, do you?"

Ran Zhimo didn't make a sound, just looked at her.

She seemed to think it was ridiculous, and really laughed, "I only saw the news about your release on bail one minute before you called me, and then I knew you were out. You overestimate me. If I have With this ability, I wouldn’t have watched my father get arrested back then!”

There was a sense of irony in her words, and that kind of deliberate irony made the air between the two of them freeze in an instant.

Night Breeze was very cold, and the chill seeped into his body, Liu Nian stiffened his back, forcing himself not to be defeated in this confrontation again.

After some time, she heard Ran Zhimo's voice dry: "Really...it's not you?"

Her heart stabbed fiercely, but Cheng Ranming's voice came back to her mind: remember what you promised me.Fleeting Year gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "Of course it's not me!"

He carefully discerned every change on her face, as if wanting to see the truth of the words, Liu Nian met his eyes, tried to make himself look calmer, and finally he whispered: "I'm sorry ,excuse me."

Fleeting Nian struggled to save a smile, "It's okay, I'm still happy for you if you can come out."

She just smiled like she didn't care about anything.

He frowned, then turned after a moment, out of her sight.

She didn't know what it was like in her heart, she seemed to want to cry, but she couldn't cry, so she simply laughed. She took two steps forward and approached the guardrail by the river, looking at the river surface with sparkling lights, she didn't know why, just I feel that the other side of the guardrail is like another world. My father and mother are there, but she is the only one who can't go there.

After blowing the wind by the river for a while, I finally calmed down a bit, sighed, and finally decided to leave, but was stunned the moment I turned around.

Ran Zhimo was standing not far from her, she thought he had left long ago, she didn't know how long he had been standing there.

She looked at him with questioning eyes, only to hear him say: "It's so late, I'll take you back."

"No, I can do it myself."

He insisted: "It's already dark, you are too dangerous as a girl."

She had no choice but to agree, said "thank you" softly, and walked forward.

Deliberately speeding up the pace, in order to avoid the embarrassment of being side by side, such an intimate posture is now more like an embarrassment to them.

All the way in silence, finally arrived downstairs, Fleeting Nian couldn't care less, said "thank you" again, and hurried into the building.

Her heart was beating very fast, and it seemed to be expecting something, but she was getting farther and farther away, and he didn't stop her, and when she entered the building, she couldn't tell whether it was a sigh of relief or what.

When she reached the door of the house, she habitually took out the key and opened the door. However, when she turned the key, she suddenly realized something was wrong, and quickly opened the door. She turned on the light, and the sight was a mess, almost all the drawers were After being opened, some of the contents inside were thrown out, and some were lying in a mess in the drawer. The ceramic flowerpot was smashed to the ground, the soil inside fell on the floor, and the flowers were even stepped on. There was no one to settle down, Liu Nian felt cold when she saw such a scene, she couldn't make sure if there was anyone still inside, after thinking about it, she turned and went downstairs.

Before going out of the building, he saw Ran Zhimo who was still standing there and did not leave. When he saw her come out, he was very surprised, "What's wrong?"

Liu Nian was afraid that he would think of something when he found out that his home had been burglarized, so he concealed it and said, "It's okay, I just wanted to come down and take a walk." But he was anxious, his expression was not natural, and Ran Zhimo noticed it.

"In the end what happened?"

Fleeting Years couldn't hide it, so he had to say: "A thief has broken into the house, please call the police for me."

The police arrived soon. After inspecting the scene, they asked Liu Nian, "Did you find anything missing?"

There is no passbook or other valuables at home, Liu Nian looked at it, although the damage was serious, but nothing was missing, Liu Nian just wanted to shake his head, and suddenly realized that if nothing was lost, this was not an ordinary housebreak Theft, those people must come in to find something, the police will definitely ask her what she thinks those people are looking for, too many words will be lost, not to mention there is still ink, she can't make people aware of the existence of the ledger .

So he lied, "I lost a passbook."

I went to the police station with the police to make a record, and the police asked some questions, and the passing years about the passbook were not ominous.

After coming out of the police station, Ran Zhimo was still waiting for her, seeing her coming out, he asked, "I'll see you off, where are you going?"

"go home."

He asked bluntly, "Can you still live there?"

She pursed her lips slightly and hesitated for a moment, "Then I'll just go to Yi Luoluo's place tonight. Her house is very close to here, so I can go by myself. It's late, so go back first."

Ran Zhimo stubbornly ignored her words, "Did you call Yi Luoluo?"

She had no choice but to take out her cell phone and dial Yi Luoluo's cell phone.Yi Luoluo arrived 10 minutes later, when she saw Ran Zhimo, she was a little surprised, but she just politely said "Hello Senior".

Ran Zhimo nodded at Yiluo, and said to her again: "Leave the fleeting years to you, I'll go first."

The moment he left, he looked at Fleeting Years, and there seemed to be many words hidden in his black eyes, but after a moment, he just left.

Telling Yi Luoluo about the burglars in her house, Yi Luoluo was very surprised, especially when Liu Nian said that her house was in a mess and there was nowhere to stay, and she wanted to spend the night at her house, Yi Luoluo's eyes almost widened .

"Have you lost anything?"

At first, Liu Nian felt that there was nothing to hide from Yi Luoluo, so he shook his head, but then nodded quickly, and said, "I lost a passbook."

"How much money is there?"

Liu Nian took out the trick he used to deal with the police just now: "More than 1..."

Yi Luoluo laughed disapprovingly, "The thief who broke into your house was really exhausting. They ransacked your house so that no one could live in it. In the end, they only found a passbook worth 1 yuan..."

It's really not convincing, I'm afraid those policemen thought so too!

As soon as he thought about it, Liu Nian suddenly smiled again: "Do you have a friend like you? You're expecting me to lose something!"

Early the next morning, Liu Nian was woken up by the ringing of the mobile phone. Liu Nian dazedly pressed the call button, held the phone to his ear, and said "Hello".

A man's voice came from the phone: "Hello, fleeting time? I'm your Uncle Shao."

Half of the drowsiness went away, Liu Nian sat up, and asked carefully: "Hello, Uncle Shao, may I ask if you have anything to do with me?"

At this point, he didn't make any more detours, "Do you have time now? I want to talk to you."

The purpose of this phone call was naturally guessed in my heart. When Shao Qiren saw the copy, he probably knew that the original was with her. With such an old account, besides her, who is the daughter of a corrupt criminal, who else can get it? get?

That's why her home was stolen last night, but unfortunately they didn't find what they were looking for, so Shao Qiren had no choice but to call her today.

In fact, whether to talk about it or not, the result probably won't make much difference. Fleeting Years will naturally not change her mind, but Shao Qiren was a good friend of her father's life after all, and she always hopes that this matter will have a happy ending.

So I agreed: "Okay, let's go to the coffee shop you asked me to go to last time!"

When he saw Shao Qiren, Liu Nian felt that he seemed much older than last time. He was looking out the window, but when he heard her footsteps, he turned his head and said to her, "You're here! Sit down!"

In the very quiet shop, there was soothing music playing slowly, halfway through drinking coffee, Shao Qiren finally said: "Before the incident happened, your father met me here for the last time, and he specifically asked me, Let me take care of you and your mother for him."

Fleeting Nian put down the coffee spoon, "Back then, my father probably thought that he couldn't escape anyway, and he didn't want to let you all die, so he carried everything by himself... It's a pity that he left in the end, and my mother followed... "

There was a moment of silence, Liu Nian lowered his head, but he heard Shao Qiren say seriously: "Actually, I have always been very grateful to your father. Without him, I am afraid that I would not be in this world now."

Reminiscing about the old days was not their purpose today. Shao Qiren said so much because he wanted to use his old relationship with his father to persuade Liu Nian to hand over the original account book.

Fleeting Nian understands this point, tired of such endless circles, Fleeting Nian directly breaks the theme: "Uncle Shao, I don't want to embarrass you, I just hope you can let go of Ran Zhimo."

Shao Qiren frowned, "Liu Nian, why are you still talking for that kid? If it wasn't for him and his father, your father wouldn't have come to that point!"

It was the deepest embarrassment in fleeting years. She let out a breath, tilted her head, and remained silent for a long time. After a while, she seemed to have found her own voice, which was so hoarse: "What happened back then was my father's own fault, and he can't blame others... "

Shao Qiren looked at her with disbelief on his face.

Liu Nian took a deep breath, "Uncle Shao, I really don't want to hurt you, I just want you to let go of Ran Zhimo, no matter what, I still can't help but watch him have an accident! As long as you promise me, I will give you whatever you want!"

Shao Qiren still knew about Fleeting's stubbornness. Looking at Fleeting with pleading eyes, Shao Qiren heaved a long sigh, and finally agreed: "Forget it, since you've already made up your mind, I'll just do what you want."

"Thank you."

Fleeting Nian thanked him, and took his leave not long after.The sky outside was a bit gloomy, and when Fleeting Nian left the coffee shop, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, finally, it was over.At that time, Fleeting Nian didn't know that he had just escaped from a catastrophe.

After Fleeting Nian left, two men in the seat next to him approached Shao Qiren and asked, "Why did you just let her go?"

Shao Qiren put down the coffee spoon in his mouth, wiped his mouth with a tissue on the side, and said after a long while: "Forget it, she is that person's daughter after all, if she will really keep her promise and hand over the account book, this deal is done." Just do it."

"What if she doesn't?"

Shao Qiren narrowed his eyes, retracted his index finger that was knocking on the table, and clenched his hand into a fist with bulging veins, but he never made a sound.

At this moment, Fleeting Nian only felt a chill penetrate into his body from his back.

I didn't go far, and I don't know if it was a coincidence or what, but I saw a BMW off-road that was exactly the same as Cheng Ranming's car parked there. Before she got close, the people in the car got off Come on, it's Cheng Ranming.

"The house was stolen?" he asked her.

Fleeting Nian nodded, "But it's okay, nothing was lost."
