My Dear People · Moon Evening

Fireworks, epiphyllum, explosion, death.

Too many exciting things only exist in a moment.

Including our fear, it consumes a lot of energy, so it must not survive for long.

-June 2016, 11

The winter of this year came suddenly.

Chen Lu fell asleep very early, sitting on the balcony in the cold morning and looking out the window.

After staying for a long time, I forgot the time, and snowflakes fell in the sky without knowing it.

How is Lin Yilin doing now?He must be very angry with himself. I don't know if his body has recovered. I don't know if he will think of himself when he sees the first snow.

Chen Lu smiled wryly, and heaved a long sigh, making the air dense and pale.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door behind him.

The young master came back to his senses, raised his hand, and the bodyguard came in and asked, "Fujii Hiroshi didn't respond to any message, are we still going as planned?"

"And then send a message to all his numbers, saying that if he doesn't come to pick them up, I'll destroy them for him, and we won't wait until the expiration date." Chen Lu still looked at the bleak winter scenery in the distance: "Also, keep an eye on Ning Yun. You don't need to let him know about it."

"Yes." The bodyguard nodded in agreement.

Lin Yilin, who was in the castle at this time, was far more difficult than Chen Lu imagined.

After waking up early in the morning, he claimed that his stomach problem had recovered, and planned to rent a house to start working. Leo did not refuse, but asked the family doctor to check his body again, and then left temporarily due to the bank's regular meeting.

Xiao Linzi, who seems to be free, is always followed by a "caring" maid. It is really hard to look for clues in a big way, so he can only walk around slowly under the guise of visiting.

Fortunately, he himself has a wealth of architectural knowledge, and he has tried his best to collect all the information about this ancient building before. If he can go through all the on-site inspections, then it should not be a problem to draw a map that is almost inseparable.

"These portraits are the owners of the Louki family." The maid introduced Lin Yilin seriously: "This is Master Mayer."

Lin Yilin looked up and looked at the portraits of these wealthy people, and asked after a while: "Is there no mother of Leo?"

The maid was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

Lin Yilin smiled at her and walked forward again.

"Mr. Lin, that leads to the basement. It hasn't been cleaned. You'd better not go there." Seeing that he was about to go down the stairs, the maid hurriedly stopped him.

Lin Yilin turned around and said, "It's okay, I rarely have the opportunity to see aging buildings in the United States."

The maid still dissuaded: "If you get dirty, the young master will definitely be furious, or wait until I clean it up later, and then you go down."

The purpose of Lin Yilin's coming here is to get more information about Leo, so how could he back off because of such words, his expression is very indifferent: "The construction site is much messier than the basement, I'm used to it."

Then he walked down with long legs.

The maid didn't know what was wrong with the basement, but Leo strictly forbids anyone to go in, so she was very flustered, her expression changed, and she hurriedly turned to the old housekeeper for advice.

Sure enough, as the maid said, there was a thick layer of dust on the basement floor, and it seemed that no one had been there for a long time.

Xiao Linzi quickly covered his mouth and nose, and turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone to illuminate himself. He found that there were old light boxes on both sides of the long corridor, separated by half-hidden or closed doors, which was eerie.

He took a few steps forward, looked back at the string of footprints he had left on the ground, and felt inexplicable in his heart.

At this moment, footsteps were heard on the stairs again.

Lin Yilin withdrew his hand that was about to push the door. Seeing that it was Leo, he pretended to be calm: "You came back so soon."

Leo didn't speak, and approached him against the light, unable to see the expression on his face clearly.

"I didn't have a chance to look at this building last time. Can you give me its blueprint? I really want to study it." Lin Yilin simply said: "Of course, if you find it inconvenient, just forget it."

Leo was silent for a moment, then reached out and turned on two rows of wall lamps, the soft light illuminated the whole space.

He didn't seem to be angry, but instead replied, "Wait until you're better."

Lin Yilin looked around: "I'm sorry, maybe you have a secret here, the servant stopped me from coming down, don't blame her."

"It's not a secret." Leo didn't have a smile on his face. He passed him and walked in, and when he came to a closed door, he suddenly stopped and said, "I lived here with my mother when I was young."

Of course, Lin Yilin knew that the humble Luna had led him to suffer a lot, but there was a difference between knowing and facing him. At this moment, he couldn't say anything interesting to break the solemn atmosphere.

"When grandpa is unhappy, it is common for him to go without food for a day or two. I was so hungry and sick, my mother went out to beg them, and then I was kicked by the housekeeper from the stairs and rolled all the way down, my head was covered in blood... ..." Leo described it very calmly, and then bent the corners of his mouth mockingly: "So I don't want to come back here when I'm sensible, and I don't want others to come."

"I don't know, I'm sorry..." Lin Yilin was once dependent on his mother, and he had already used his life to experience the feeling of helplessness.

"Actually, it's nothing. Do you want to go in and have a look?" Leo turned his head and asked after his emotions returned to normal.

Lin Yilin refused in a timely manner: "...No need, I'm a little tired."

Leo said: "Then go upstairs. I invited a doctor who specializes in treating stomach problems. Don't take it lightly and drag the small problems of your body to the point of no return. I have an uncle who got stomach cancer like this."

As he spoke, he took Lin Yilin out of this terrifying underground corridor.

Fujii Hiroshi, who had been leaning against the door and watching the monitor, was relieved.

At that moment just now, he really thought that Leo, a lunatic, was going to let Lin Yilin in, and he couldn't cover it up at that time, so he could only tear his face.

Hiroshi Fujii, who had studied with Lin Yilin in the design office for a period of time, knows very well that he is a very smart architect and can often help his predecessors come up with solutions to some distressing problems. I am afraid that he will deduce the structure of this castle soon. It may not be impossible to discover the secret of his hiding place...

It is impossible for him not to be loyal to Chen Lu, and he may become an informer who must be silenced.

Fujii Hiroshi frowned and looked at the terrible weapons hanging on the wall, and became very contradictory for a while.

"If you don't want to come and take Fujii Yu's relic, I don't mind destroying it for you, it won't wait until it expires."

He lowered his head and turned off the text message he had just received on his phone, feeling like a fish about to be caught in a net, squatting powerlessly in place.
