Chapter 34: No more and no small talk

Faced with such a suicidal question, I believe everyone would say "no".

Lan Tong did not answer her directly, but asked: "Why do you think you are a burden?"

My sister sighed and said, "I was in a car accident when I was a child, and since then I have been confined to a wheelchair. At first my brother insisted on sending me to school every day, but my classmates laughed at me and isolated me because I was in a wheelchair. After a long time, I didn't want to go to school anymore...

"My brother is the only one who earns money at home, and I need to spend a lot of money to buy medicine for my leg... My brother works very hard and has to work overtime every day, but I can't do anything..."

"Don't mom and dad make money? They don't seem to be working."

My sister shook her head: "Dad has a bad heart and Mom is not in good health."

Lan Tong glanced at his mother beside him for no reason. His mother was cursing in the morning and didn't look like she was in poor health at all.

"Then...brother should make a lot of money. Our family lives in such a big villa. In comparison, your medicine expenses are not that big of an expense."

When this matter was mentioned, my sister suddenly fell silent.

Lan Tong waited for a while, but still didn't get any reply.

My sister looked up and ahead, her eyes empty, as if her thoughts had flown to a place Lan Tong didn't know.

Lan Tong had no choice but to get up and go back into the house. She just couldn't believe that in this outrageous plot, even this villa was not her sister's home.

……

"Land from."

"Land from."

"Lu Li Lu Li..."

"Shut up!"

Lu Li spoke impatiently.

Lan Tong lay in bed for the entire afternoon, and no one knew what was going on in her mind. Her attitude towards Lu Li suddenly changed 180 degrees.

"Let's discuss?"

"explain."

Lan Tong stretched out his voice and said, "Don't be so cold. I've already taken the initiative."

"..."

Lu Li was in a small space, observing Lan Tong's emotional changes with a cold eye. His voice was clearly intimate and his attitude was fawning, but when Lan Tong said these words, there was no fluctuation in his heart.

hypocritical.

Lu Li cursed in his heart.

Lan Tong had no idea that she was being scolded; she was only thinking about other things.

A few minutes ago, she had just confirmed the side quest in the mission panel.

Originally, she planned to make preparations for both situations. If she had collected enough evidence, she would accept the side quest. If she hadn't collected enough, she would just stick to the original mission for three days.

But just now, a countdown for the side quest suddenly popped up.

If you don't make a choice within five minutes, the side quest will be automatically canceled.

Lan Tong felt that finding the last piece of evidence would be easier than holding on for another two days, so he accepted the side quest.

After accepting it, she realized something was wrong.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly changed his attitude towards Lu Li.

Lu Li and Lan Tong shared the same vision, so naturally he saw her accepting the side quest.

She felt that Lan Tong was looking for her with bad intentions.

Under normal circumstances, this ungrateful guy would never speak to her in a nice tone.

"If someone is too attentive to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief."

“……” Damn it.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Li was still somewhat useful, Lan Tong wouldn't bother talking to her.

How dare this crazy guy say that she is either a rapist or a thief?

Lan Tong's fists hardened, and she resisted the urge to scold Lu Li from head to toe again.

When asking for help from others, everyone looks so attentive and fawning that even a chatterbox like Lan Tong starts to speak in a sweet and annoying tone.

"I'm really sad when you say that. Aren't we partners now?"

When she spoke softly, her cold voice sounded particularly pleasant, especially when she deliberately twisted and prolonged the tail of the sound, it sounded inexplicably well-behaved.

Lu Li's scalp tingled.

"If you have something to say, just tell me. Don't talk to me in such a spoiled tone!"

"Okay, then I'll just tell you."

Lan Tong couldn't pretend anymore, "I'm going to my brother's room tonight. If there's any unexpected situation that I can't handle, you're responsible for coming out and helping me solve it."

Lu Li sneered, "What do you think of me? Why should I clean up your mess?"

"You don't have to deal with it." Lan Tong said, "We can just die together."

"..."

Lu Li was silent for a moment, then said, "This won't happen again."

Lan Tong knew that she would agree. Generally, such brainless people would behave well when under duress.

She said a little too much, "What do you mean it won't happen again? You have to help me deal with it next time."

"Why?" Lu Li said, "If you don't have the ability, just give me your body."

Lan Tong believed that Lu Li was willing to solve the problem for the sake of her body's safety, but she didn't believe that Lu Li could return the body to her after occupying it.

It is estimated that the next time she gives up the sovereignty of her body, Lu Li might turn against her and lock her up in that damn prison again.

But there was no other way at the moment, she had to use Lu Li. Besides, she didn't believe that Lu Li, with his crazy temper, could always refrain from taking action against the weird.

"So what if I'm incompetent? If you say one more word, I'll take you to death right now."

Lu Li gritted his teeth and said, "You..."

Lan Tong said quickly: "I'm going to die now." "I..."

"Now die."

"Shut the fuck up!"

After Lu Li cursed angrily, he turned off the microphone.

……

Mom didn’t cook in the evening, and no one came to call Lan Tong to eat.

It seems that when there is a problem with the mother in the family, the rest of the family can't even eat on time.

22:00
After waiting for ten minutes, Lan Tong quietly opened the door and walked out with a candle.

She couldn't make any noise or turn on the lights at this time.

The living room was pitch black, as if a bottle of ink had been spilled in the sky and the entire sky had lost its color.

Lan Tong quietly came to her brother's door, took out the key and opened the door.

The warm candlelight shone into the room. The furnishings in the room were clean and simple. Apart from a bed and a desk, there were no other extra furniture.

Lan Tong first searched the bed, but found nothing.

She searched for a long time in front of the desk, where there was a group photo.

There are only two people in the photo, one is the man Lan Tong met on the balcony in the morning, and the other is her sister.

There seems to be no change in age, and the background is also a normal picture of two people standing in front of a landscape.

Otherwise, Lan Tong only found a work notebook and some receipts in the drawer.

The work record book records the projects my brother has done in the company over the past few years.

What surprised Lan Tong was that an engineering plan recorded in the book was actually related to the high-speed rail accident reported in the newspaper.

She took out the newspaper from the space, compared the information carefully, and found that her brother was responsible for the accident.

Lan Tong had originally guessed from the information given that her brother died due to a high-speed train derailment. Now, combined with this information, she guessed that perhaps the high-speed train accident itself had something to do with her brother.

She carefully looked at the design plan provided by her brother for this project.

Lu Li asked suddenly: "Can you understand?"

"Ah."

“You used to do this?”

"No." Lan Tong didn't know why she understood it at once, "but I can understand it."

Maybe it's because it's too quiet, and making some noise will make people feel at ease.

Lu Li wanted to say something again.

Lan Tong looked at the plan intently, anticipated that she would speak, and interrupted her.

“No small talk.”

Lu Li: “…” Your kindness is taken for granted.

Lan Tong looked at it carefully and found no problem with his brother's plan.

Maybe the main clue has nothing to do with this.

Lan Tong flipped through the thick stack of receipts again.

Although they are called receipts, in fact there are all kinds of invoices, from small ones such as payments for living expenses to large ones such as salary and bonus invoices.

It seems disorganized and unconnected.

But Lan Tong still felt that his brother left the last message because he wanted to remind him of something.

dong dong dong! !

The sudden knock on the door scared Lan Tong so much that her heart stopped. Fortunately, she locked the door when she entered.

Boom boom boom! ! !
who is it?

Lan Tong remembered clearly that she closed the door on purpose when she went out.

The living room was dark at that time, with only the light on in my sister's room. The rest of the scene was almost exactly the same as last night.

Boom boom boom! ! !
Lan Tong stared at the door vigilantly. The person outside seemed to be knocking harder and harder.

It seemed as if the entire door would be knocked down by him in the next second.

Lan Tong didn't dare to make a sound and flipped his hands even faster.

There were too many checks. If she took them all, it would definitely attract attention. It would be better to take only a few key ones, and maybe she could get away with it.

Dad's cold voice suddenly came from the door.

"Doudou, are you in your brother's room?"

Lan Tong ignored him and quickened his movements.

Dad turned the handle, but found it wouldn't open, so he continued knocking.

"Open the door."

The invoice in Lan Tong's hand was almost sparking.

I can't find a useful one.

Dad urged, "You know what happens if you go into your brother's room, don't force me to get the spare key."

When Lan Tong heard that there was a spare key, he was stunned.

Is he trying to trick me or does he really have a spare key?

"Something's wrong."

Lu Li whispered, "His aura is not right."

Lan Tong felt that Lu Li seemed to be quite familiar with these strange things, "What do you mean?"

"He is more polluted than when I saw him at noon."
