"He Ningchuan, you have three minutes to come to the back garden and explain to me what this is, or I'll tell Mom."

His brother's voice rang out when he was at his weakest, which really startled him.

"Brother! What are you doing there!"

He asked his final question in despair.

"Just passing by."

There was no more sound after that, and He Ningchuan rushed home as fast as he could.

Sweating profusely, he carried the cotton through the front yard, through the living room, and then into the back yard.

They even forgot to put down the cotton dog leash.

"Manman, why are you in such a hurry? Have some herbal tea."

He Ningchuan was so anxious that he stomped his feet when his grandmother, who appeared out of nowhere, stopped him.

"Grandma, I'm going to find my older brother after I finish drinking."

Before Wang Meixia could even wipe her grandson's face, he dashed off like a little calf.

Li Ying laughed and said, "It has to be Manman. Look how strong and healthy she is after eating so much. Hehe, did you hear that?"

He Ningze was focused on watching the little figure on TV when he fell into a trap, and the game started over.

"what!"

"Hahaha! I'm number one!"

He Ningze said in frustration, "Grandma, please don't bother me next time. I'm not even as good as He Ningxi."

Li Ying innocently replied, "I don't care, I played cards with your grandma."

The two got up and walked to the mahjong table next to them.

The two elderly fathers, He Jianguo and Yu Jinbu, were already dozing off.

Staying at home is incredibly boring; all I do is eat, drink, and sleep.

The older you get, the less you can endure it.

The backyard.

Behind a lush bush, the two brothers looked at each other, neither speaking for a moment.

Finally, He Ningchuan couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you the truth, I sold it to Uncle Li."

Upon hearing the name Uncle Li, He Ning'an immediately understood.

"Why are you so stubborn? I've already told you it's fake."

"Hmph, even you have your faults, big brother. Trust yourself and come with me. All the food I put out is gone."

He Ning'an immediately analyzed several possibilities, which were all refuted by He Ningchuan with reason and evidence.

"Brother, if you don't believe me, you can put the medicine here. Uncle Li is injured, and he definitely needs the medicine more than food."

He Ning'an, half-believing and half-doubting, was encouraged by her younger brother to leave the medicine bag there.

He looked at his brother triumphantly, "Brother, if you don't believe me, you can sit on the terrace and watch. There are no stray cats or cotton causing trouble. Who would take the medicine? It must be a ghost... Oh wait! I need to pour Uncle Li a glass of water, otherwise how can he take his medicine?"

Before he could finish speaking, he excitedly ran home.

He Ningchuan moved swiftly, taking out a large cup and pouring water into it as if afraid Li Yanshen was thirsty.

He poured out one-third of the warm water from the blue thermos.

He quickly and carefully placed the cup under the rose bushes.

"Brother, if you don't believe me, stay with me and keep watch, but don't get too close, or the ghost won't come."

He Ningchuan looked at his younger brother and wondered where he got all these crooked ideas from.

"Okay, let's go."

He Ning'an was full of curiosity about his younger brother's words. They did nothing all afternoon, and during mealtime, the two brothers sat on the terrace with their bowls in hand, staring into the distance.

As night fell, He Ningchuan suddenly said, "The things have been taken. Let's go take a look."

How did you know?

"It's what I feel in my heart."

He Ningchuan walked behind his younger brother and shook his head helplessly, but still followed him toward the rose bushes.

"See! Big brother, I didn't lie to you!"

At a glance, the things I had personally placed below had vanished without a trace, even the glass of water was nowhere to be found.

He Ningchuan immediately concluded that someone was playing tricks and brought over the ladder his mother used to tend the garden.

He propped the ladder against the wall on this side.

The outside is all community green belts planted with a variety of plants, which are lush all year round.

"Brother, come down quickly, don't be skeptical, there really are ghosts."

He Ningchuan said with great conviction.

"Don't talk nonsense. Someone must be playing tricks. From now on, you're not allowed to put any food or drink here, or I'll tell Mom."

As she pushed her younger brother away, He Ning'an glanced back and made up her mind to find out the truth.

……

The appointed time for meeting has arrived.

The room was empty except for two stools, and there were countless people inside.

Police officers and He Lin's men stood on either side, a dense, imposing mass.

Seeing this, Lusca was the first to express her dissatisfaction, saying, "Leave only her and me. The rest of you should not stay in this space, or we'll meet again at another time."

"You have no room for negotiation."

Lusca leaned back in his chair, looking completely indifferent. "Of course I know I can't escape now, but I also know that you two, or more precisely, Miss Yu Lian, are very interested in how that person died, since you can't escape the consequences of his death."

"Watch your mouth, unless you choose to go to jail."

Whether it was He Lin's words or not, Lusca shut up and looked at the small window on the high wall.

"I can talk to you alone, He Lin..."

The couple spoke in hushed tones after that, and it was difficult for others to hear them clearly.

He Lin left with his men, still feeling uneasy. One of the walls was made of glass, so you couldn't see outside from inside.

Lusca's every move in the film is clearly presented.

In the vast space, only two people remained for a moment.

As Lusca requested, the listening device was turned off.

Those outside couldn't hear their conversation; they could only guess at it through facial expressions and the movement of their lips.

"Say what you want to say, don't worry about whether the listening device is still on."

Lusca changed his expression and sat up straight. "Since you've found out about my past, you naturally know about my relationship with Li Yanshen."

"However, you won't get the answer you want from me today. Li Yanshen sent you to your wedding with He Lin, his purpose being to disrupt your wedding."

"and then?"

Lusca was very dissatisfied with Yu Lian's reaction: "You don't hate him? You're not angry?"

"This has nothing to do with you. If you've gone to all this trouble just to make me angry, I suggest you give up on that idea and stop wasting your time."

Lusca calmly uttered a few words: "He died for you."

After accurately capturing Yu Lian's curiosity, or rather, her astonishment, he continued to reveal the truth of that day.

Lusca, who originally intended to lie low for a while and prepare for another attack, received a call from Li Yanshen that day.

He told Lusca that he had enough evidence to break up their marriage and that she should come and get it herself.

If the wedding is over, he will destroy all the evidence so as not to ruin Yu Lian and He Lin's marriage.

As a detective who had gained some fame in his youth, Lusca had no doubt about Li Yanshen's abilities.

After confirmation, one person rushed to the scene.

But Lusca never expected that Li Yanshen wanted to die together with him.
