Return of the Daughter: The Earl's Astronomically Valuable Wife

Chapter 24 The past, return to the scene of the crime
Sheng'an Plaza is the most prosperous commercial plaza in City A. All well-known brands at home and abroad are gathered here. There are also a lot of food, clothing, housing and transportation. There are several large groups around Sheng'an Plaza, such as Zongheng Entertainment and Qin's Pharmaceutical Group.

Arriving at Sheng'an Square, Ruan Xin had already collected her mood, pointed to a high-end apartment building in front of her and said, "Lan En, park the car in the underground garage over there."

"Okay!" Lan En steadily drove the car into the underground garage, found a parking space and stopped, got out of the car and walked around to the co-pilot, looked at Ruan Xin who got out of the car, and saw that she was not in a good mood, and asked worriedly : "Little cat, are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Ruan Xin raised her head and showed her a comforting smile, closed the car door and held his arm, looked at the elevator not far away, took a deep breath and said, "Let's go!"

It wasn't until she got on the elevator and looked at the rising numbers on the control panel in front of her that Ruan Xin said: "This apartment is my birthday present from my father, and it is also... the scene of the crime."

Lan En's heart tightened when he heard her words, he stretched out his hand to hold her cold hand, hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear: "It's okay, I'll be with you."

He also sent someone to investigate the case back then, but all the evidence pointed to the person in his arms. Everything was too clear for people to investigate. Judging from the attitude and reaction of the kitten, this case is still There was an inside story, but she didn't say it, and she didn't dare to ask, for fear of touching the Ni Lin in her heart. The most he couldn't see was that the kitten was sad, so in the past three years, he never asked anything about it Now, seeing her expression, he confirmed his guess in his heart that this case is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

Ruan Xin stared at the ever-changing numbers with serious eyes, and slowly clenched the hand hanging by her side.

Ding……

The sound of the elevator arriving brought back Ruan Xin's thoughts. Looking at the slowly opening elevator, she secretly clenched her fists and stopped in the elevator for a few seconds before going out.

Lan En stayed by her side without saying a word, looking at her stiff body and expression, he really wanted to take her away from here, but he knew very well in his heart that the kitten would have to face this matter sooner or later. To face it, it would be sooner rather than later, so I could only endure the pain and hug her shoulders, silently giving her support.

When she came to the door of the apartment, Ruan Xin looked at the combination lock and hesitated, her outstretched hand did not press the combination for a long time, her heart trembled violently, and her lips pursed unconsciously.

"Little cat, I'm here!" Lan En looked at Ruan Xin's slightly trembling hand, a flash of distress flashed in his eyes, he stretched out his hand to hold her cold palm, and softly comforted her ear.

Hearing Lan En's gentle voice, Ruan Xin's trembling heart slowly settled down, she turned her head and gave him a slightly pale smile, took a deep breath, pressed the code to open the door, and when the door opened, At that moment, she seemed to return to that morning three years ago in an instant.

Frames of images flashed before her eyes, they were so clear, as if they happened yesterday, the despair and helplessness in her heart were so obvious, it made her tremble uncontrollably.

Three years ago, she woke up in the morning and found that she had lost her body inexplicably, and fled back here from the hotel in a panic. Before she could organize her thoughts and figure out what happened the night before?Then she received a call from the hospital, saying that her father died in a car accident on the spot. The severe blow made her brain go blank. The smell of alcohol almost stunned her, until the man roughly ripped off her clothes and wanted to insult her, she reacted and began to struggle, what was called was fist and fist, and finally she seemed to catch something and threw at the man She smashed it, and got a slap in the face, causing her to fall unsteadily, and hit the bedside table with her forehead. In the moment she fell into darkness, she seemed to see the man's ferocious expression with blood on his face.

When she regained consciousness, the police were already there. Lin Yue was crying at the side and she didn't hear what she said clearly. She only saw the man lying motionless in a pool of blood, and she held the blood-stained cloth in her hand. The base of the lamp, she was in a daze at the time, completely unaware of what happened?

"Kitten, kitten!" Lan En looked at Ruan Xin who walked towards the inner room as if she had lost her soul as soon as she walked into the apartment, her heart ached, she called her softly but found that she didn't respond, With a flash in his eyes, he stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder and turned her around. When he met those unfocused black eyes full of despair and helplessness, his heart suddenly tightened, and the hand holding her shoulder became heavier unconsciously. With some strength, he called out in a deep voice, "Kitten!"

"Ah!" Ruan Xin, who was immersed in desperate memories, suddenly came back to her senses, looked up at Lan En in a daze, and finally came back to her senses after a while, looking at his tight lips and blue eyes full of distress and worry , avoiding his eyes in some embarrassment, stretched out his hand to cover his hand, and said in a low voice: "Sorry, I made you worry." After speaking, he looked up at his eyes with a pale smile, and turned his head to look at the eyes closed tightly. He opened the door of the room, and said faintly: "Three years have passed since the incident, but those pictures are still so vivid, as if everything happened yesterday." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to open the closed door in front of him, and pulled Lan En walked in.

Lan En frowned tightly listening to her words, and his thin lips were tightly pursed without saying a word, allowing her to drag him into the room.

Pulling Lan En to the window, looking at the clean floor in front of him, his eyes were in a trance for a while, then he looked at the almost untouched room furnishings, his eyes fell on the place where the man died, he opened his red lips lightly, and his voice was a little ethereal Said: "The man is lying here, his head is full of blood. There was a wool carpet here, which was also stained red by his blood, and I sat there, holding the blood-stained desk lamp in my hand." Said Looking down at the outstretched hands, looking at the white palms, he slowly clenched his fingers.

Listening to her simple statement, Lan En could imagine the scene at that time, his eyes dimmed, he stepped forward and hugged her from behind, and kissed her lightly on the top of her head, comforting her silently Emotions.

Ruan Xin felt extremely relieved by the body temperature transmitted through the on-demand clothes behind her. She raised her hand to cover his big hand that was embracing her, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I know it's over " Then he broke free from his embrace, turned to look at him, looked into his eyes seriously and said, "Lan En, there is one thing that I have no chance to tell you."

Ruan Xin never told Lan En that Lin Yue was the murderer. It wasn't because she deliberately concealed it, but because she never had the right time. When she first arrived in Country Y, she only wanted to come back for revenge, and never thought of talking about it. , After she settled down, she forgot because she had to learn too many things, and now standing at the place where everything originated, she felt it was time for him to know everything.

Lan En looked at her serious expression, his eyes flickered slightly, he nodded slightly, and said gently: "Speak! I'll listen." Hearing that she had something to hide from him, she was still a little depressed, but she Now I am willing to take the initiative to mention it, and the little depression in my heart has also dissipated.

Ruan Xin's eyes flickered for a moment, she looked up into his eyes, and said slowly: "I didn't kill anyone, it was Lin Yue who killed that man, it was Lin Yue who killed her biological father." It was only when the case was settled and she became a murderer that she realized that the man who broke into her apartment and tried to mistreat her turned out to be Lin Yue's biological father.

A cold light flashed in Lan En's blue eyes, he raised his hand to caress her cheek, and said in a low tone: "How did the kitten know?" At this moment, he felt very distressed. He didn't expect the kitten to suffer alone. He has been suffering like this for so long, but he can't share it for her.

Thinking of the way she learned about it, Ruan Xin couldn't help showing a sarcastic smile, she pulled him back and walked out of the room, and said as she walked: "At the beginning I was seriously injured and hospitalized, Lin Yue came to the hospital to see me, probably because he thought I was in a coma Can't hear anything, or be sure that I can't continue to live, and tell me that she killed her biological father."

There was a dangerous gleam in Lan En's eyes, it seemed that the woman was not as stupid as she showed.

Without waiting for Lan En to express her opinion, Ruan Xin continued: "It's a pity that I have no evidence. Even if I know that she is the murderer, I have no way to prove my innocence." At the beginning, the case was too clear, and everything pointed to her. Although it was an excessive self-defense homicide, the label of a murderer had already been attached to her.

"Don't worry about the kitten, it will be found." Lan En stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms. Thinking of what she said just now, he suddenly felt a little lingering. If he hadn't taken her away in time at that time... No, no if, he would never Will not let such a thing happen.

Finding that after telling the biggest secret in her heart, the whole person felt a lot more relaxed. Ruan Xin let out a breath, with a relaxed expression on her face, looked around in a blink of an eye, looked at Lan En and said, "Let's go! I'm hungry. Already!"

"What does the kitten want to eat? Chinese food or Western food?" Lan En walked out with his arms around her naturally, asking her for her opinion, but thinking in his heart, should he contact his uncles?
When the two left, they swept away the dull atmosphere when they came, and walked all the way to the underground garage, talking and laughing. Just a few steps out of the elevator, they saw a few people approaching them.

As soon as Lan En took a few steps, he felt that something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere. After walking a few steps, he saw those people who were swarming towards them. Bian said: "Don't look at them, keep going!" After speaking, he put his arms around her and continued walking towards their parking place as if nothing had happened.

Ruan Xin also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, she subconsciously grabbed Lan En's clothes, and when she heard his words, she nodded imperceptibly, and let him walk forward with her arms around her without looking sideways. The person is getting closer and closer, and my heart is in my throat.
