fraudulent engagement

Shen Fang's hand trembled, and the key fell directly on the floor, making a series of crisp metal impact sounds.

He used to laugh non-stop when he saw this very familiar license plate number, but when he said it from his brother, he no longer had the slightest thought of laughing.

Shen Qian watched him bend down to pick up the key, and asked softly, "Fang Fang, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Shen Fang quickly pulled out an unnatural smile, "I just think this license plate is too strange."

Shen Qian replied: "Yes, it's because it's so strange that I remembered it at a glance."

After a pause, Shen Fang asked again: "Don't you remember wrongly?"

Shen Qian said with certainty: "It can't be wrong."

Shen Fang fell silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Fortunately, Shen Qian's spirit is not good now, and he lay back while talking, without further questioning him, and his gentle voice became lower and lower: "Put it down, call the police if you have time."

Shen Fang said: "Brother, it's just right, this matter is not urgent, let me handle it." Then he said, "The police will definitely come to ask you for questioning, wait for you to recuperate for a few days and get better. Since we already have clues, it’s not too late.”

Shen Qian thought about it and said, "Okay."

At this moment, Shen Fang's mother came in.

Shen Fang took advantage of the situation and said, "Then I'll go home first and make something for you and Mom. Brother, what do you want to eat?" He turned around and asked, "What does Mom want for lunch?"

Shen Qian smiled: "I like everything you do."

His mother also said: "I can't think of it, you decide."

"Then I'll just watch and do it myself." After Shen Fang said this, he left in a hurry, with an inexplicable feeling of fleeing in his footsteps.

Shen Qian turned his head and looked at his back with a thoughtful expression.

When Shen Fang returned home, the ingredients he asked for on the phone were already in the kitchen.The fresh vegetables are washed clean, with some drops of water, and they are placed in the same basin, and they are placed in the same direction. It is very obsessive-compulsive at first glance.Fish and chickens were also killed and kept in the refrigerator as they were before they were alive.

Xue Yan said: "I have everything ready." His expression was as cold as ever, but his eyes showed a strong meaning of "seeking praise".

It's a pity that Shen Fang wasn't in the mood to praise him at the moment, so he let out an indifferent "hmm" before turning on the pressure cooker and putting the cleaned whole chicken and seasonings into it.

Xue Yan was a little disappointed at once, moved a small bench and sat on the side, silently watching him cook.

Shen Fang was a little absent-minded, and he kept thinking about what was going on while stewing the chicken soup.

Before today, he had never associated the man next to him with the word hit and run.

No, no, Shen Fang looked back at him, and quickly denied himself.Although Xue Yan often shows a childish, awkward and even bad-tempered side in front of him, he is actually kind, upright, and responsible, and he is not at all like a person who would do such a thing.

And to put it bluntly, if there was a traffic accident, the Xue family could use money to make up for it in private.

For him, hit-and-run is a very risky matter that outweighs the gain.

So what the hell is going on here?

If it was left on other matters, according to Shen Fang's temper, he would have asked directly.But when it's his turn, it doesn't matter if he's too calm or heartless, he's a lover on the one hand and an older brother on the other, he was stunned to analyze logically and methodically under these conditions and figured out that asking directly won't yield any results. .

He felt that no matter how he asked Xue Yan, the answer was always negative.

If my brother misread the license plate number, Xue Yan would naturally not admit it.

If the car accident was really related to Xue Yan, then he would have been able to get along with him calmly and without any flaws for so long after running away from the accident, it should be...impossible to admit it.

Therefore, we can only change our thinking.

Shen Fang put the lid on the pressure cooker, washed rice, cooked porridge, cut up the washed vegetables, and briefly fried two vegetables.

While cooking, Shen Fang turned his head and said, "Xue Yanyan, why did you come back today?"

Xue Yan looked up at him from the small bench: "I asked the driver to pick me up."

Shen Fang: "That 233 again?"

"No, the other one." Xue Yan asked casually, "Why do you always miss 233?"

"It's so unique." Shen Fang said, "I remember you said that the car was given by a friend, why did he give you the car?"

Xue Yan thought for a while and said, "It should be last year...well, yes, it was last year's birthday present."

Shen Fang said "Oh", and asked again: "What kind of good friend is a luxury car as soon as he makes a move?"

Xue Yan said: "It's just ordinary friends. But our two families have a lot of business contacts, so it's not a simple birthday gift. The wool came from the sheep. What?" When he said this, his words paused, and suddenly Feeling excited, he stood up and approached Shen Fang, "I said, why are you asking this? Are you jealous? It's not too late to think of being jealous at this time about what happened last year."

Shen Fang directly picked up a piece of ham that had just been cut and was going to put it in the porridge and gagged his mouth.

Xue Yan put the ham and Shen Fang's fingers in his mouth in one gulp, bit him twice before emphasizing: "It's really just ordinary friends."

Shen Fang thought for a while, and said, "You have quite a lot of friends, so many came at the wedding back then."

"...It's okay." Xue Yan thought about it, "Actually, there were many partners in the business field at the wedding, and not all of them were friends."

Shen Fang lowered his eyelashes, staring at the neat ham pieces on the cutting board, as if a flower had grown there: "But why do I rarely see you hanging out with them?"

"People who are married must be careful." After saying that, Xue Yan felt that something was wrong, and quickly added, "Before getting married, you can play seriously when you go out to play."

Shen Fang smiled: "Then what did you usually play in the past?"

Xue Yan's eyes faltered: "Ah, there's nothing fun to do, just golf, car racing, horse riding, etc. Sometimes I go to some clubs, like the ones we've been to before."

"Hey, speaking of horse riding, I remember that there is a horse farm on Mount xx, which seems to be very famous." Mount xx is where Shen Qian's accident happened.

"That racecourse wasn't very fun." Xue Yan recalled a bit, and said, "At the beginning of this year, around the end of January and the beginning of February, I went there once with a group of friends. By the way, I drove up the mountain It's the 'Low Smile'. The horse over there is too tame, some people describe it as running like an old lady."

...The time, place, and characters all match up with my brother's car accident.

Shen Fang didn't expect to be able to find clues so easily, so he pulled out a smiling face and continued to ask: "Then tell me how to play?"

"I didn't play much." Xue Yan said, "His horses are not good, but the wine he brews is very good. We ran around for a while, and then we all went to drink."

Shen Fang: "And then?"

Xue Yan looked a little uncomfortable: "... I was drunk. Then I didn't know how to go home. It was the next day when I opened my eyes." Before marrying Shen Fang, the next step of his drunkenness was always to sleep.

Shen Fang fell silent.

He believed that under normal circumstances, if Xue Yan bumped into someone by accident, he would never run away.

But what if a drunk driving is added to the traffic accident?

Shen Fang has seen Xue Yan drunk before, even if he has a bad memory, those scenes are still vivid in his memory.

He will be very different from usual, he will completely lose the maturity and stability when he is awake, and he will not remember many things he has done. Kiss yourself.

What if it was true that he hit his brother while drunk driving, ran away in a daze, and even forgot about it when he woke up, so what should he do?

Shen Fang suddenly asked so many questions about his friends, Xue Yan couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, and asked, "Why do you want to know this all of a sudden? Or have you heard something?"

Shen Fang just said: "It's nothing, just ask."

Are you just asking casually?Are you suspecting that I have any special relationship with my friends?

Heaven and earth can be seen!

Having just experienced such a wonderful and crazy night of mutual understanding, each other still bears the traces left by the other, at this moment Xue Yan has a special kind of intimacy and enthusiasm for Shen Fang.

But Shen Fang avoided Xue Yan for a while because of doubts in his heart.Although this change in attitude was slight, it was still felt by Xue Yan.

And the lunch is all Shen Qian's favorite dishes.

And he didn't even say baby.

Shen Fang went to the hospital to deliver meals, and Xue Yan sat alone at the table with his rice bowl in his hands, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became.

Sure enough, if you catch up with him, your attitude will change!

At the same time, Shen Fang deeply felt that he had never been so indecisive as he is now.

Obviously knowing that there are problems that should be solved as soon as possible, but still hold the attitude of muddling along, torturing myself and torturing the other party.

He wanted to find the truth and justice for his brother's suffering, but at the same time he was a little afraid of revealing the truth.

If the conclusion does not come out, he can still deceive himself and say that there must be a misunderstanding.If it is confirmed that Xue Yan is the perpetrator after the results come out, then there may really be no room for turning around.

He knew that he was sorry for his brother, but he... couldn't bear it.

Shen Qian lay down for ten months, although Shen Fang and the nurse gave him massages every day to prevent limb atrophy during the period, after all, it was no different than usual when exercising every day.

Waking up now still requires a lot of rehabilitation work and a period of time in the hospital.

But already woke up, it is already great news.

Two days later, Shen Qian's spirit has improved a lot.In the evening, Shen Fang, who was off work, helped him out for a walk, and he suddenly said, "Fang Fang, did you tell the police about the license plate?"

Shen Fang was taken aback: "Not yet."

"I'm almost ready for questioning now." Shen Qian said, "Let the police investigate this matter."

Shen Fang didn't speak, and after a while he said, "Brother, can you not tell the police about this?"

Shen Qian looked back at him, his gaze was as calm and peaceful as ever, but Shen Fang saw a sharpness that sees through everything in that gaze: "Why?"

"I... I've seen that license plate."

"Where?"

Shen Fang said: "...The Xue family."

Shen Qian was silent for a moment before asking: "Is that Xue Yan's car?"

In the phrase.

Shen Fang couldn't help defending his partner: "It's his. But I think there might be some misunderstanding in it. I'll ask him when I go back."

At this moment, he finally decided that no matter what the truth is, he must face reality.

Shen Qian stretched out his hand to signal and stopped him: "Don't."

Shen Fang looked at his brother puzzled.

Shen Qian said: "I never asked you. You are with Xue Yan, it's not like the puppy love that mother said, right?"

Shen Fang was stunned, and resolutely took the blame: "It's puppy love. We have known each other for many years, and we were secretly together before."

"Impossible." Shen Qian said firmly, "You didn't remember him at all back then."

Shen Fang didn't expect that the lies they carefully crafted could not be believed by his brother at all from the beginning to the end.

He looked into Shen Qian's eyes, and Shen Qian also looked at him.

In the end, he was defeated first and admitted: "Okay. I did pretend to marry him in the first place to make money." Fearing that his brother would doubt their current relationship, he quickly added, "But he really I really like me. At the beginning, I pretended to find someone to marry just to chase me."

"I know." Shen Qian said, "I know he has always liked you. But that's the problem. He likes you, but his scheming is too deep."

Shen Fang blinked, expressing his doubts with his eyes.

Shen Qian's voice was very calm and calm: "Does he like you so much that he would do anything to get you? At all costs?"

"So, what if this car accident was not an accident?"

Shen Qian's words stop, but Shen Fang feels like being struck by lightning.

He has always preconceived the accident encountered by his brother as a traffic accident, hit and run.But if it wasn't an accident, if it wasn't an accident...
