end of night

Li Qinglan didn't speak. He opened the curtains and sat down again in the same position. There was a single sofa opposite the round table. He made a gesture. Bai Xinglan knew that he was being controlled by others, and he was very unwilling. Reluctantly, she sat down opposite Li Qinglan.

She seemed to be particularly afraid of the gun. Besides the gun, there was actually a vase on the round table with bright and beautiful flowers.

Li Qinglan slowly pushed the gun in front of her to Bai Xinglan, and placed it in a position that was easy for her to get.

Bai Xinglan watched Li Qinglan's movements, and said, "Xinglan doesn't know what enmity she has with Mr. Li, it's worth making Mr. Li miss Xinglan so much."

"Do you miss it? This word is used well. I miss Miss Bai every minute and every second in Nancheng."

I don't know why, anyway, Bai Xinglan felt that the words from this man's mouth always made her feel weird and disgusting.

"Then I have to thank Mr. Li. I don't have to think about it anymore. I will be very scared."

Li Qinglan kept staring at Bai Xinglan, as if he wanted to see something on her face that he wanted to see, but there was nothing.

This woman has always been calm and calm, except for the panic she just came in that made Li Qinglan very interesting, now she seems to be wearing a mask that only belongs to her.

That beautiful, glamorous mask made Li Qinglan want to destroy it.

"I originally thought that if I invited Miss Bai over today, she would have a lot of questions that she wanted to ask me, but now it seems that there are no questions at all? Miss Bai has always pretended not to know me, but there are a few people around me, They said they were sent by Miss Bai, how do you explain this?"

Bai Xinglan smiled: "I don't know anything, I'm just a woman, Mr. Li may be thinking too smart of me."

Li Qinglan licked his lips, he suddenly approached Bai Xinglan, Bai Xinglan looked into his deep eyes, and did not leave his sight.

After staring at each other for about ten seconds, Li Qinglan asked in a low voice: "I don't think the things I did are of any use to Miss Bai, because I can't see the fear in your eyes at all. How is it, now... it seems to be not bad?"

As expected, it was for Zhuang Yishen.

Bai Xinglan remained calm, Li Qinglan stood up again, he took a bottle of red wine and two goblets from somewhere.

He moved the gun back, as if he didn't care at all, and after putting the goblet in front of Bai Xinglan and himself, he opened the bottle of red wine with a corkscrew. After smelling it, he raised his eyebrows. Seemingly very satisfied, he poured a little into both Bai Xinglan's and his own cups.

Bai Xinglan's hand was still placed safely. Although she didn't know whether Li Qinglan had asked her to "talk" as he said, but if she really had to die, she had to be a sensible ghost.

She didn't drink the glass of red wine, Bai Xinglan asked: "Today's charity dinner is said to be held in the city, but you are also one of the initiators, you just hid your name."

Li Qinglan picked up the goblet and shook it lightly, looked at the red wine hanging on the wall of the glass, and said with a "hmm", "Yes, that's right."

Bai Xinglan lowered his eyes and asked again: "Did you write the invitation?"

Li Qinglan took a sip, as if savoring it carefully, he closed his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "How did you tell?"

"That handwriting is exactly the same as my dead husband. I even wonder... Is he not dead at all?"

Bai Xinglan also smiled. She leaned on the back of the chair and watched Li Qinglan's reaction.

Li Qinglan stopped shaking his red wine glass, and said, "No surprise, Zhuang Yishen used to be my slave, and we are the same calligraphy teacher."

Bai Xinglan lowered his eyes, trying to hide his emotions.

This can explain why Zhuang Yishen and Li Qinglan have so many childhood photos. They can be said to have grown up together.

But it is impossible to have the same leaf in this world, Bai Xinglan raised her eyes, she still did not believe that Li Qinglan's handwriting would be exactly the same as Zhuang Yishen's.

Li Qinglan put down the half-drunk red wine, took a pen and paper, and wrote her name in front of Bai Xinglan.

After finishing writing, he handed the piece of paper to Bai Xinglan, and Bai Xinglan took it and looked at it, and it was indeed exactly the same.

"I was self-willed when I was young, and Zhuang Yishen can only be regarded as my playmate. His family is very poor, but he looks good. He has been by my side for more than ten years. What do I want him to do during those ten years?" He has to do what he has to do, including handwriting, and I force him to imitate me."

Seems like a shadow of childhood.

Bai Xinglan remembered that Zhuang Yishen did the same at that time, and asked her to imitate his handwriting, but Bai Xinglan was a woman after all, and couldn't write such vigorous calligraphy, so Zhuang Yishen could only give up.

After changing the subject, Li Qinglan said again: "After the Li family became lonely, he probably had nowhere to go. He married an ugly woman and began to climb up and down the south city. I really can't imagine how he could be with such a woman. It's been such a long time."

He was talking about Yang Wei.

In fact, Yang Wei's appearance is not very bad, but her brows are always wrinkled, which makes people feel very fierce, and she can still see it.

"Then I may know why Mr. Li hates me so much. Maybe in Mr. Li's eyes, I am also an ugly woman, so he wants to kill me quickly?" Bai Xinglan said to Li Qinglan like a joke. Made me laugh.

He shook his head, "You are very beautiful, it's hard for me to imagine that Zhuang Yishen has been facing his ugly wife for nearly 20 years, and his aesthetics is still reliable."

Bai Xinglan didn't speak, but Li Qinglan changed the subject and said again: "It's just that I don't like him having contact with women, so I want to kill him to vent my anger."

The hatred revealed by his words made Bai Xinglan's body stiff again in an instant.

When Li Qinglan laughed, Bai Xinglan always felt a little perverted for some reason, maybe Bai Xinglan subconsciously classified Li Qinglan as a pervert.

Bai Xinglan didn't speak anymore, she was afraid that what she said would offend Li Qinglan, if the other party suddenly went crazy and shot her, it would be over.

She didn't forget that this pistol was equipped with a muffler, and even if Bai Xinglan died quietly here today, no one would know.

Li Qinglan drank all the rest of the red wine, and what he said seemed to be a little drunk, but how could Bai Xinglan not know that this person was actually pretending, and he said in a very hypocritical way: "I didn't scare you, did I? "

Bai Xinglan chuckled a few times, with a half-hearted smile: "I certainly wouldn't believe it if I said I didn't scare Mr. Li."

Li Qinglan shook her head lightly: "I killed so many people, but I didn't scare Miss Bai. I already knew that Miss Bai was courageous."

"Why did you kill so many people?" Bai Xinglan actually knew the people around her, maybe it was Li Qinglan who did it.

But this man is really too cunning, and he has many people who are willing to defend him, so he does whatever he wants and is unscrupulous.

"I love playing cat and mouse. My pleasure is watching the prey spin helplessly in my cage, and then I will bite their necks off, enjoying the last moment of victory. It is a kind of... It's a wonderful feeling."

His words made Bai Xinglan break out in a cold sweat behind his back, thinking in his heart that he really was a pervert, and even his thoughts were so unique.

But even if Bai Xinglan felt disgusted in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.

She didn't take a sip of the glass of wine that Li Qinglan poured her before, her mouth was dry after talking for so long, she cleared her throat, although it seemed impolite, but she couldn't help it.

"Miss Bai is thirsty, why don't you drink the wine I poured for you?"

Bai Xinglan shook his head and said, "The more you drink, the thirstier you become, and I don't like red wine very much, so I'm sorry Mr. Li."

Li Qinglan suddenly picked up the wine glass in front of Bai Xinglan, and drank it down in one gulp.

He knew what Bai Xinglan was guarding against: "It seems that Miss Bai is still afraid that I will drug this wine."

"After all, it's not the first time that Mr. Li wants my life. Of course, he has to be more careful, right?" Bai Xinglan looked at Li Qinglan, her eyes were always bright, like an elk, pure , clean, without a trace of impurities.

But this kind of woman is from a prostitute, Zhuang Yishen, you can see that the level of women is still very low!

Basically, as long as Li Qinglan doesn't speak, Bai Xinglan won't speak either.

She didn't have a watch on her hand, but she had a faint feeling that the charity dinner was about to start, and when the time came, people couldn't see her as the representative of Zhuang's, so she didn't know how they would feel.

Thinking of this, Bai Xinglan turned to look at Li Qinglan, only to hear Li Qinglan suddenly say, "Why don't you follow me back to America?"

Bai Xinglan looked at him and smiled: "I'll follow you to America? Will I still be alive then?"

"I want your life. Actually, I can do it now." He showed a sinister smile, as if he was going to get the gun, but Bai Xinglan reacted faster than him, raised the gun and pointed at it immediately. Li Qinglan.

Li Qinglan's eyes were instantly filled with storms, and his eyes were extremely gloomy for an instant.

The expression on Bai Xinglan's face was full of seriousness, but at this moment the door was suddenly opened, Bai Xinglan didn't look back, she knew that if she was a little careless now, the gun in her hand might be snatched away by Li Qinglan immediately.

Wan Chaofeng was still holding the head of the man with the scar in his hands. There were traces of blood on the man with the scar, but it didn't splash on Wan Chaofeng's white suit.

He couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene inside, and then said, "Damn, Bai Xinglan, you're pretty fierce, aren't you?"

Bai Xinglan heard Wan Chaofeng's voice. At that time, she happened to be pulling the safety on the gun, which happened to allow Wan Chaofeng to see this scene.

I don't know why Bai Xinglan relaxed inexplicably, she stepped back step by step, "Mr. Li, I want your life, and I can do it now."

Li Qinglan sat still on the chair, he laughed like crazy, he finally stopped after laughing for a long time: "What should I do, Miss Bai, I'm getting more and more interested in you."

Bai Xinglan backed away slowly, Wan Chaofeng suddenly put his arms around her waist, then held her hand, and asked, "Do you know how to shoot?"

"Stay away from me." Bai Xinglan knew that Wan Chaofeng was taking advantage of the opportunity, and after pushing Wan Chaofeng away, she pulled the trigger.

The glass on the window was broken.

Li Qinglan heard the sound of glass shattering, and the haze flashed across his eyes.

Bai Xinglan's hand was steady, she turned around after firing the shot, and saw the bodyguard who was following her before.

After she handed the gun to the bodyguard, the bodyguard immediately put the gun away.

Wan Chaofeng saw this skillful scene, stared at Li Qinglan twice, said nothing, his eyes seemed to say: This woman is not easy to mess with.

Bai Xinglan turned around and left, here was a long corridor, Wan Chaofeng took a handkerchief from his subordinates, ran to Bai Xinglan while wiping his hands, and asked her: "I saved you, you don't even have a word of thanks?" There's none?"

Bai Xinglan remained expressionless, "Oh, thank you."

Wan Chaofeng couldn't laugh or cry, why did this woman have such a sense of humor when she became indifferent, wasn't she very cute when she was next to Zhuang Yishen, and she was quite a cuddly bird?

She was so steady when holding the gun, could it be that...

Wan Chaofeng's eyes suddenly flashed inquiring.

Bai Xinglan only felt that she had really saved her life, she suddenly stood still, and said to Wan Chaofeng, "Thank you very much, Mr. Wan, for saving your life."

Wan Chaofeng finally wiped off the blood on his hands. Looking at Bai Xinglan's face and expression, he seemed to have noticed something, and said, "I see, you are afraid, right? I just said how could a woman... "

Wan Chaofeng suddenly stopped speaking in the middle of his sentence, his eyes passed Bai Xinglan, Bai Xinglan turned around to look, and at the end of the corridor stood an old man with a cane, his hair was gray, but his eyes were very shrewd and clear.

Bai Xinglan suddenly took two steps to the side, her sensitivity to certain things was definitely unusual, when Wan Chaofeng looked past her, she instantly felt an unusual atmosphere.

Wan Hongkang walked over with a cane, and behind him was a man who was about the same age as Wan Chaofeng, with sharp eyebrows and eyes.

I don't know why Bai Xinglan felt that Wan Hongkang looked at him with a slight...kindness?

Bai Xinglan suspected that he had an illusion.

Wan Hongkang looked at his son: "The banquet is about to start, did you sneak away to pick up this lady?"

Wan Chaofeng neither admitted nor denied it. Seeing Wan Hongkang looking at her, Bai Xinglan hurriedly said, "Hi, I'm Bai Xinglan."

"Haha, it's a very good name. How old are you this year?"

Wan Chaofeng almost wondered if this was his father.

In the past few years, Wan Chaofeng had never seen Wan Hongkang smile, and his father's smile was really terrifying.

Bai Xinglan had never met someone who asked her age when they first met. Although she was not used to it, the person in front of her was an elder anyway. She replied, "I am 24 years old."

Wan Hongkang nodded, shook the crutch on his hand, and said with a sincere tone, "Chao Feng cares about you very much. After a while, I will ask Chao Feng to bring you to my house to play, okay?"

Bai Xinglan glanced at Wan Chaofeng, who knew that the other party had no intention of helping her out, and even showed a little smile.

She felt inexplicably awkward being in the middle of these two people. At this time, a waiter ran over, and he saw the eyes of the three were full of joy: "Three, the dinner party is about to start, please take your seat as soon as possible."

Wan Hongkang didn't look back at all, he just stared at Bai Xinglan, which made Bai Xinglan very uncomfortable, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

After getting the answer, Wan Hongkang turned around and walked neither fast nor slow with a cane.

Bai Xinglan's expression faded in an instant, but Wan Chaofeng was complacent: "I called off the engagement some time ago, and my dad almost beat me to death. Why don't Miss Bai take me in? I think my dad treats you as well." I am very satisfied, and I will invite you to my house when we meet for the first time."

Bai Xinglan glared at Wan Chaofeng, didn't say anything, but just followed.

When they sat down, the dinner had just started, Bai Xinglan was not interested in some of the auction items on it, but remembering that she is now a "slaughtered little fat sheep", throwing more than 2000 million out, Bai Xinglan felt that it was almost the same, Wan Chao next to her Feng has never raised a sign.

The scene was very lively, Bai Xinglan put down the sign, thinking that her task for today should be completed, turned to look at Wan Chaofeng, but saw that the other party was also looking at her, Bai Xinglan laughed twice, and asked: "Why doesn't President Wan hold up a sign?"

Wan Chaofeng supported his face with his hands, glanced at the stage indifferently, and let out a sigh: "They recently checked my Wanjia, and I will pay them back? Only my father is willing to do such a thankless thing."

Bai Xinglan turned his head and glanced at Wan Lao who was excitedly holding up the sign, nodded and said: "That's right, your father's money is enough for the Wan family."

I don't know why Wan Chaofeng heard something unusual from it, but Bai Xinglan didn't give him time to react, he stood up and was about to leave, Wan Chaofeng held her back: "You just went back?"

Bai Xinglan nodded: "Before dealing with Li Qinglan, I lost energy and was very tired. Boss Wan will let me go home and sleep?"

I don't know why Wan Chaofeng felt that this woman was acting like a baby, and he was very useful, so he let go of his hands and nodded, "Okay, let's go."

Bai Xinglan lifted her skirt and was about to leave. She walked up to Wan Hongkang and said softly, "Uncle Wan, I'm going back first."

Wan Hongkang looked at it for a second, and then smiled: "Okay, okay, go, do you want me to send someone to see you off?"

"No, I have my own car." In fact, she just came to say hello out of politeness.

Wan Hongkang nodded, and Bai Xinglan walked outside the venue.

The wind outside is actually not very cold. Her purpose today was to get acquainted with Mrs. Fang. Now it seems that she has completely failed.

Bai Xinglan felt a little sad at first, but when she was halfway there, she was suddenly stopped: "Miss Bai, please stay!"

What she heard was a woman's voice, and when she turned her head, the person who stopped Bai Xinglan happened to be the Mrs. Fang she had been wanting to see today.

Bai Xinglan pretended to be confused, but her heart was filled with joy. She lifted her skirt and went up two steps again. Mrs. Fang came down and stood on the same level of steps as her and said, "Miss Bai, I originally I was thinking of going with you after the dinner party, but I didn't expect you to leave early, so it won't disturb you, right?"

Mrs. Fang has a very good temperament, she looks like a well-bred lady, and she speaks very politely.

Bai Xinglan smiled lightly: "Mrs. Fang, it's all right. What do you need from me?"

Mrs. Fang saw that since she called to stop someone, this person actually knew her, and she didn't have any intention of turning a corner, and she was afraid of delaying Bai Xinglan's time, so she cut to the chase and said, "That's how it is. Among the things auctioned today is a painting by my youngest son. The painting, I originally wanted to buy it and hang it at home, but I didn’t expect that Ms. Bai was so quick that she took the picture first, so I thought, can I talk to Ms. Bai, I am willing to add another 100 million to buy that painting .”

Bai Xinglan was even happier when she heard this. She pretended to hesitate, but her expression immediately brightened again. The other wife said, "Today was originally a charity gala. Since it is your youngest son's painting, it must be of great significance. You There is no need to add another 100 million, I will give it to you after I talk to my people."

Mrs. Fang quickly waved her hands: "How can this be done? I feel bad for receiving such a gift for nothing."

Bai Xinglan held Mrs. Fang's hand, pretending to be very familiar, she said with a smile: "Since this is a charity dinner organized by the city, Secretary Fang and you must be very caring, Xinglan can tell The love you have for your youngest son, mother's love is the greatest, how can I link such a love with money? Don't be embarrassed. "

Mrs. Fang was a little embarrassed by Bai Xinglan's words, she patted Bai Xinglan's hand, and sighed: "I'm a little ashamed, I don't know how to repay Miss Bai."

Bai Xinglan smiled: "Don't say anything about repaying or not repaying, it's too serious."

Mrs. Fang thought about it in her heart, and said: "How about I recognize you as a younger sister? I think Miss Bai is really kind-hearted. Someday we will go to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva and have a beauty treatment?"

"It is an honor for Xinglan to recognize you as my sister."

The two women laughed together, Bai Xinglan just felt that it was a chance for her.

After saying goodbye to the people under her command, Bai Xinglan said goodbye to Mrs. Fang, and when she turned around, a smile finally appeared on her face.

In fact, Shu Yiwen had already been waiting outside the meeting place. She saw Bai Xinglan talking to a woman for a long time, and then called Shu Yiwen with brisk steps.

She seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness with Li Qinglan just now, but in fact, she mainly didn't want Shu Yiwen to worry.

Shu Yiwen immediately connected the phone, and then said to Bai Xinglan, "After you come out, go to the left, I've already seen you."

"it is good."

Bai Xinglan looked at her, the two met eyes, Bai Xinglan smiled, she originally wanted to trot over, but it was really inconvenient to wear a dress, so she could only walk slowly with her skirt.

After seeing her, Shu Yiwen got out of the car quickly, and then helped her lift up her skirt, finally stuffing her into the car.

Then Shu Yiwen got into the car again, ready to drive home.

The rest of the bodyguards also got into the car behind them one by one, and followed Shu Yiwen's car.

Bai Xinglan let out a breath after getting into the car, and when waiting for the red light, Shu Yiwen glanced at her and asked, "Why is your face so pale?"

Shu Yiwen remembered that Bai Xinglan's makeup wasn't too thick, but she could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Bai Xinglan's expression.

Bai Xinglan lowered his head and smiled: "It's nothing, maybe the air conditioner at the banquet is a bit cold, I should go home and take a shower and it will be fine."

Shu Yiwen was also wearing an unlined garment, so she could only speed up and go home with Bai Xinglan.

After the two of them took a bath together, Shu Yiwen helped Bai Xinglan to dry her hair. Bai Xinglan seemed to be in a trance, but she had been wondering since she came back.

She didn't know why, Li Qinglan really treated her as if he was playing, and even put the gun in front of her. Could it be that he was really not afraid at all?

"What are you thinking?" Shu Yiwen helped Bai Xinglan blow dry her hair halfway. The part where she touched her scalp was completely dried, but the ends of her hair were still a little damp.

Bai Xinglan didn't mind either, Shu Yiwen has always been like this, blow-drying his hair half-dry before blow-drying his hair.

She smiled and said, "When I called you tonight, it was actually Li Qinglan's subordinates who asked me to see him."

The sound of the electric wind blowing was a bit loud, but Shu Yiwen could still hear what Bai Xinglan was talking about. She turned off the electric wind blowing switch, and her long hair was even dripping water.

After hearing Bai Xinglan's words, Shu Yiwen's expression was extremely serious: "And then?"

"He said he was looking for me to chat, but he was cleaning his gun when I first entered." Bai Xinglan lowered her eyes slightly, she thought for a while and then continued: "But Wan Chaofeng came to save me, and I also met him His father, his father invited me to his house to play."
