wife and father

After the call was connected, neither Qiao Sen nor Li Zan made a sound immediately.

After a long time, Qiao Sen heard Li Zan's calm voice: "Johnson, have you guessed it?"

Qiao Sen pressed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray and extinguished it: "You made such a big mistake for me, no matter how stupid I am, I can guess it."

Li Zan smiled: "I want to chat with you."

Qiao Sen sighed, "The sooner the better."

Li Zan replied, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Half an hour later, Li Zan came over with a few bottles of red wine.Qiao Sen went to the kitchen to get two goblets, Li Zan opened the wine and poured them separately.

After picking up a cup and drinking it in one gulp, he said softly, "Johnson, it's been my fault all these years."

Qiao Sen held the wine glass and watched as Li Zan remained silent, just quietly waiting for him to continue.

Li Zan filled the goblet in his hand again, and asked with a smile, "Do you listen to me, or do you ask me to answer?"

Qiao Sen said, "Tell yourself."

Li Zan nodded with a smile, his delicate and fair face blushed slightly due to the effect of alcohol: "Do you still remember how my parents died?"

Seeing Qiao Sen nodding, Li Zan suddenly laughed for a while. After regaining his composure, he stared into Qiao Sen's eyes and said almost word by word, "Johnson, my father didn't commit suicide. I poisoned him."

Seeing the astonished look on Qiao Sen's face, Li Zan said frankly: "My mother died of excessive blood loss. At that time, my father cut her and injured her. If she was sent to the hospital immediately, she could be saved. But my father didn't do that. He Instead, I ran to the bedroom to look through the passbook. Although I was young at that time, I already hated him so much. I knew he was going to leave with the woman outside him, how could I let him leave like this?"

"So I poisoned the water. He drank too much alcohol in those days, and the alcohol numb his sense of taste, and he couldn't drink it at all."

Qiao Sen frowned slightly, and called him in a low voice: "Azan—"

Li Zan just smiled, and there was no expression of pain on his face: "I'm almost perfect. The police came and went, and they didn't suspect me at all. No one would believe that a child in elementary school would kill his father."

After that, Li Zan drank the red wine in the glass again: "Just when I was completely relieved and started to guess who would adopt me, a policeman appeared. He changed my life."

"His surname is Luo, I don't know his full name, but you have seen him."

Seeing Qiao Sen frowning slightly, Li Zan smiled slightly: "It's the old housekeeper who has been following Ah An. Before he retired, he was a policeman, and he was one of Lian's eyeliners in the government department."

Li Zan poured another glass of wine, took a sip, "He didn't ask me anything, he just took me to see Uncle Lian."

"That was the first time I saw Uncle Lian and Ah An. 18 years ago, ah, no, it should be 19 years ago."

Qiao Sen was stunned, he only guessed that Li Zan and Lian were related, but he didn't expect that this relationship has been going on for 19 years.

Li Zan smiled and said, "Johnson, you and A Wei are too naive. Do you remember when we mentioned Ji Lian's three adopted sons? Let me tell you, the eldest son Zhang An, the youngest son Yunhuang, and the second son No People know. In fact, you should have doubted me since then. Because there are not many people in this world who know the existence of the emperor."

"Besides, Gu An just disappeared at that time, so I should be the main object of your suspicion."

Li Zan raised the cup in his hand to Qiao Sen, and drank it down: "I'm sorry, last time I lied to you that Gu An's disappearance had nothing to do with me."

Qiao Sen pursed his lips: "Azan, finish your sentence. I don't want to hear your apology yet."

Li Zan smiled: "Okay."

Then he continued: "You should be able to take your seat right? Ji Lian is Gu An, and his three adopted sons are A'an, me, and Huang."

Johnson nodded.

Li Zan said: "I grew up with Uncle Lian until I was 15 years old. I love and respect him very much. He is more like my biological father than my father."

"When I was 15 years old, I slept with A'an for the first time, and was discovered by Uncle Lian. His attitude was unexpectedly tough, and he even made me leave Lian and live alone."

Qiao Sen looked at Li Zan, and finally understood why Li Zan would act so abnormally when Si Wei and Zhang An got close.

Li Zan glanced at Qiao Sen and smiled faintly: "But I don't hate Uncle Lian. I know he still loves me, no less than before. He just doesn't want me to be with A'an."

After finishing speaking, he smiled wryly: "But, probably because of the mentality that the less I can get, the more I want, I can't forget Ah An. I have been suffering for the past ten years. I am going crazy. Especially in the After he did it with Ah Wei, I even had the idea of ​​killing Ah Wei."

"It's scary, isn't it?"

Qiao Sen only drank half of a bottle of wine, and the rest went into Li Zan's stomach.

The blush on Li Zan's face was even stronger, but he didn't feel drunk at all: "Johnson, I know what you want to know, but let me speak slowly, okay? These words have been held in my heart for many years, and I don't know who to tell explain……"

Qiao Sen lit a cigarette and signaled Li Zan to continue talking.

Li Zan smiled slightly: "Although Uncle Lian got my custody, I still stay here to study and live. At first it was because I hated you and Ah Wei, and later because I wanted to take care of Uncle Lian."

Seeing the surprised expression on Qiao Sen's face, Li Zan smiled and said, "Listen, Johnson, you should know what you want to know."

"Uncle Lian suffered from split personality disorder when he was a teenager. I don't know the specific situation. When I was adopted by him, his personality has basically stabilized, and the other weaker personalities have disappeared. The two personalities of Gu An and Ji Lian."

Seeing Qiao Sen frowned, Li Zan grinned: "You must never have imagined that Gu An is the main personality. Such a strong and ruthless Ji Lian is just an accessory."

"Over the years, Uncle Lian's condition has gradually stabilized. As long as the protagonist Ge Gu An loses consciousness involuntarily due to no stimulation or too strong trauma, Ji Lian will basically not appear."

Li Zan took a sip of red wine, and looked at Qiao Sen with a faint gaze: "That time when Gu An disappeared from the hospital, I informed A'an to pick him up. He was injured at the time. If he can wake up in a short time, he will definitely not It will be the main personality. It is indeed the case. However, none of us thought that Gu An's personality could replace Ji Lian in such a short period of time."

"Do you remember that time drinking with A'an in Mei Se, and he left in a hurry after answering the phone?"

Qiao Sen looked at Li Zan and told him that he remembered.

Li Zan laughed: "That's because Gu An woke up, and the emperor didn't know what to do, so he told him to go back."

"Johnson, are you suspecting that Gu An is deceiving you?"

Qiao Sen didn't speak, nor did he make any expression, not even his eyes changed.

Li Zan looked at him and said solemnly: "Trust me, Johnson. Because Gu An rejected the existence of Ji Lian, he subconsciously sealed up all the memories of him as Ji Lian. For him, Ji Lian, It was his dream. Therefore, Ji Lian knew everything about Gu An, but Gu An knew nothing about Ji Lian."

Qiao Sen slightly lowered his eyelids, looking at the liquid in the goblet in his hand.

He didn't disbelieve Gu An, but all this was a bit beyond his imagination, and he still couldn't accept it for a while.

Li Zan continued: "At the beginning, I didn't understand why Gu An could wake up so quickly. Later, A'an followed him and saw him driving the car directly downstairs to your house, so I realized that he could wake up in such a short time. Regaining consciousness is entirely because of you."

Johnson's heart skipped a beat.

After drinking the wine in the glass, Li Zan began to feel a little dizzy: "But what is this? Even A'an can see something, how can Ji Lian, who has been planning for so many years, not understand?"

"Almost everything that happened later was under Uncle Lian's control. Gu Shuyu drove into Gu An, and it was Ji Lian who woke up."

Qiao Sen finally couldn't bear it and downed the liquid in the cup in one gulp.

Li Zan picked up the wine bottle and poured it for him again, saying, "Your heart is just right, don't try to die."

Qiao Sen closed his eyes: "Whose heart is this?"

Li Zan smiled: "Ah Qi's. Uncle Lian's stand-in. You should understand that Lian has been able to stabilize for so many years, one is because of A'an's proper management, and the other is because there has always been a 'Ji Lian'."

"A'an put a lot of effort into the stand-in. Looks are the second thing. If not, you can have plastic surgery. But the height, body shape, pupil color, and even blood type can be compared. It's really not easy."

Qiao Sen sneered: "It's thanks to his hard work that I'm still alive today."

Li Zan also smiled: "He was looking for this chess piece to prepare for this day. He has always believed that Ji Lian will replace Gu An, so he can't wait to pave the way for everything."

Gently shaking the goblet in his hand, Qiao Sen raised his eyes to Li Zan: "Azan, why did you choose to tell me this now?"

Li Zan smiled: "If you didn't get together with Gu An, maybe I would never say anything in this life. It's not a good thing, knowing too much will bring you trouble and danger instead."

"I took the medicine yesterday. Uncle Lian wants you to take this."

As he spoke, Li Zan threw the plastic bag containing the white pills onto the coffee table: "It's hallucinogenic, he hopes you have the right to think that all this is his own hallucination."

Qiao Sen said indifferently: "You could have let me eat it without knowing it, and even if I found something wrong, I would never suspect you."

Li Zan nodded: "On impulse, I changed the medicine."

Qiao Sen couldn't help laughing: "You? Do you also have impulsive moments?"

Li Zan also smiled: "Johnson, why can't I be impulsive? What you can do for Gu An, I can do for A'an. To put it bluntly, we are the same."

Qiao Sen changed the subject: "Why doesn't Ji Lian let you be together?"

Li Zan smiled and sighed softly: "I don't know. But I guess it might have something to do with his brother."

Qiao Sen looked at Li Zan: "His brother? Ji Lian has a brother?"

Li Zan hummed, and then said: "My name is Ji Ke, he is Uncle Lian's half-brother. But I heard that he died very badly. And——"

Qiao Sen looked at Li Zan, waiting for him to continue.

Li Zan pondered, and said, "Also, I think Ji Ke's death may have something to do with Uncle Lian."

Johnson frowned: "Why?"

Li Zan said frankly: "I'm just guessing. I remember the first time I met Uncle Lian, he said to me: 'We are the same kind of people'. I was too young at the time, so I just passed by if I didn't understand. After thinking about it over the years, I always feel that something is not right. How can I be similar to Uncle Lian back then? And the only thing I did at that time was to kill my father."

After all, both of them were silent.

Li Zan downed two more glasses of red wine, raised his head and sighed, "It's so refreshing!"

After sighing, he looked at Qiao Sen again: "Johnson, what do you think? I've shown you all my cards. Do you choose to believe me or coax me to leave? Ha, these are not important, I prefer I want to know what you think of Gu An, ah no, it should be Ji Lian. Do you still love him?"

Seeing that Qiao Sen remained silent, Li Zan laughed and said provocatively, "You love Gu An, but now it is Ji Lian in front of you. How about it, how do you choose?"
