"You mean, Tan Luo used Wei Zhuoning's personal affairs as bait to frequently ask you out?"
"That's the trick. It's my fault that I was so focused on Zhuo Ning that I didn't think too much about it. After all, we were just online friends who we could chat with."
Lin Xiaoying and Tan Luo met for the first time in the three-dimensional world at an Internet-famous coffee shop.
When Lin Xiaoying arrived, Tan Luo had already thoughtfully ordered muffins and hot chocolate for her, both of which were Lin Xiaoying's favorite foods.
"Are you cold? Have some hot chocolate to warm yourself up." Tan Luo's windbreaker was hanging behind her, and the sleeves of her white suit were rolled up, revealing her beautiful and delicate arms. She wore a high-end bracelet on her wrist, which made her arms look even more slender.
Tan Luo gave Lin Xiaoying a very good first impression, like a considerate and elegant sister.
Lin Xiaoying almost wore the same bracelet as her, which her mother gave her on her birthday last month.
Fortunately, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
Lin Xiaoying listened carefully to what Tan Luo said about Wei Zhuoning's family the whole time, and even got a photo of Wei Zhuoning when she was a child from her.
"It's so cute..."
Lin Xiaoying looked at the photos in Tan Luo’s phone.
Wei Zhuoning looks about seven or eight years old. The photo was taken in the factory with her mother and other workers.
She was wearing a pair of goose yellow overalls, and her hair was about the same length as it is now, hanging on her shoulders.
He had a small beret on his round head, his hands were behind his back, his eyes were black and bright, like lacquer, and he was frowning for some reason, looking exactly the same as he is now.
This is a mini version of Wei Zhuoning!
A hundred times more delicious than a table full of desserts!
Lin Xiaoying's heart is filled with peach blossoms, so the whole earth cannot contain them all. She calmly asks Tan Luo if he can send this photo to her.
"No problem." Tan Luo smiled with eyes as bright as crescent moons. "Seeing that Mi likes it so much, maybe I can get more photos for you next time we meet."
Lin Xiaoying met her for the second time, and the third time...
Of course there are not new photos every time, but Tan Luo never lets Lin Xiaoying down.
When there were no photos or videos, she was still able to collect some interesting stories about Wei Zhuoning from childhood to adulthood.
Tan Luo is a good speaker and is especially good at telling stories. Even the smallest things coming out of her mouth can make people listen with great interest.
Every time these little things would hit Lin Xiaoying's sweet spot, making her get to the bottom of it and want Tan Luo to say more.
Tan Luo was forced to smile bitterly: "I would like to say more to make you happy, but this is all I know, and I can't tell you nonsense, right? Don't worry, I will go and find out for you."
At that time, Tan Luo looked like an angel, and she was thinking about Lin Xiaoying wholeheartedly, which made Lin Xiaoying feel a little embarrassed:
"Will it be too much trouble for you?"
"How could that be? Why are you being so distant with me?"
Seeing that Lin Xiaoying didn't say anything, Tan Luo added, "I haven't had many friends since I was a child. I'm a bit aloof, don't worry about you laughing at me, whether it's classmates or relatives, there are not many people I like. The person I like must be smart first and good-looking second. Isn't it a bit vulgar to say this? I'm not afraid of being vulgar, I'm just afraid that I don't even have the qualifications to be vulgar. To be honest, there are not many people who can meet these two points at the same time. Xiaoying, you are different, your advantages are far more than these two points. If you didn't already have someone you like, I would definitely chase you down at all costs."
Lin Xiaoying's suitors were scattered all over the place. Even if they couldn't cover the sky and the sun, they could at least create a large area of shade. She had always heard a lot of nice words and had long been immune to them, so her girlish heart was stable and was not stolen by Tan Luo.
At that time, I didn’t know Tan Luo’s true face. I was deceived by her exquisite appearance. I just felt that the way she spoke was a bit corny.
But who doesn’t like to be praised by exquisite people
Looking back later, Lin Xiaoying felt that he was stupid enough to never doubt the authenticity of the news from Tan Luo.
Chi Lin: "So the things about Zhuo Ning were all baits she used to lure you into the trap? They were all fake?"
Lin Xiaoying: "From what I learned later, at least 80% of it was made up by her."
Chi Lin nodded slowly and looked at Lin Xiaoying thoughtfully - it turned out that the smart squad leader could also make stupid mistakes sometimes.
Lin Xiaoying knew exactly what she was thinking: "I was only in the second grade at that time, less than 15 years old. Aren't people allowed to have a growth process? It is also because of her that I have matured a lot."
Although she was not willing at all, an element that constituted her fixed personality during her growth came from Tan Luo.
After several exchanges, Tan Luo not only continued to express his affection, but also gradually grasped Lin Xiaoying's preferences in all aspects, and consciously or unconsciously began to "be surprised to discover" in front of her that there were so many similarities between the two of them.
Under Tan Luo's deliberate guidance, the content of their conversation gradually shifted from Wei Zhuoning to more areas.
Tan Luo comes from a wealthy family. Her mother is an educated person and her father is an entrepreneur. They have already paved the way for her future life. As long as she takes the first step forward, her life is destined to be smooth sailing.
She doesn't have any extracurricular hobbies, the only thing she's interested in is dating and picking up girls.
She was just a love-brained person, but her brain worked very well. She didn't spend much energy on studying, but she always scored top marks in the exams, which further encouraged her arrogance in playing with the world.
At that time, Lin Xiaoying didn't know that this "Peach Blossom Pool Water" had already become notorious.
Later, because Wei Zhuoning did not choose to be in the same group with her during a summer camp, Lin Xiaoying was unhappy for a long time.
Tan Luo comforted her until midnight, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.
Even so, Lin Xiaoying was still grateful to Tan Luo.
She felt that Tan Luo was her good sister and was willing to listen to her nonsense about secret love all night long.
As the third year of junior high school was coming to an end, Lin Xiaoying was a little hesitant about choosing a high school.
Wei Zhuoning would definitely not be able to get into a key high school, and at most he could get into Nanhu No. 3 Middle School.
Lin Xiaoying's grades at the time were enough for her to go to a key school with her eyes closed, but she still had some regrets about Wei Zhuoning and didn't want to give up just like that.
And Tan Luo has been encouraging her:
"I'm also in Nanhu No. 3 Middle School. Although I applied to No. 3 Middle School in the first place in order to spend less time on studying, and my classmates are generally a bit stupid, but the teaching staff is actually quite good. If you come, we can continue to be together. We can talk about your little Zhuoning together, and I can continue to give you advice on any difficulties you have in love."
So Lin Xiaoying applied to No. 3 Middle School.
Chi Lin: "It turns out that you and Zhuo Ning were classmates for six years not just by chance, but you did it on purpose."
"Of course not. How can there be so many coincidences? Even the fact that she and I were assigned to the same class as each other and became deskmates was arranged by my dad."
"Your mind has always been on Zhuo Ning, and has never been distracted by Tan Luo?"
"Of course, the person I like has always been Zhuo Ning, and it was always her that I tried my best to get close to. Tan Luo never had anything to do with it. But after entering high school, Tan Luo and I went to the same school, and we had more opportunities to spend time together. My classmates bumped into us a few times when we went out shopping, and they started posting crazily on the school forum, gossiping endlessly, saying that she turned me into a lesbian. Tsk, I'm naturally lesbian, why did she turn me into a lesbian? Originally, these gossips didn't pose any threat to me, but what was disgusting was that the little fool Zhuo Ning actually saw those posts... How could I have thought that she would have the time to dig up gossip?"
"She did misunderstand that you and Tan Luo were together, so why didn't you explain it to her?"
After Chi Lin finished speaking, he quickly figured it out and nodded: "Because you inquired about her family's private affairs through other channels without her knowing, and you were afraid that she would be unhappy after knowing it."
"Whatever the reason, it's an invasion of privacy. And she has such a strong sense of self-esteem that she will definitely be angry."
"In order to keep this secret, you have allowed gossip to spread all these years and have never come out to deny it."
"It's totally unpredictable what this scumbag Tan Luo can do. I'm afraid that Tan Luo will disturb Zhuoning. I don't care about it myself, but Zhuoning is different. She lives very seriously."
The two were silent for a moment, and Chi Lin continued to ask her:
"Then how did you and Tan Luo fall out?"
"Is there still a need to make a fuss? She has been tossing and turning for so long, and her ultimate goal is only one, and that is to trick me into bed."
After Lin Xiaoying entered high school, he and Tan Luo became closer. They met more often and had more physical contact.
Lin Xiaoying gradually became defensive, while Tan Luo used more information about Wei Zhuoning in exchange for the opportunity to stay close to her.
At that time, Lin Xiaowei had become a deskmate with Wei Zhuoning, and their relationship gradually became closer. Lin Xiaowei increasingly felt that the information provided by Tan Luo was untrue.
Tan Luo had been trying every means to get her into bed, and when his failed attempt to force a kiss on her completely enraged Lin Xiaoying, he broke up with her.
Tan Luo half-truthfully threatened her online that he would have a chat with Wei Zhuoning so that Wei Zhuoning would know how infatuated her class monitor had been with her all these years and how he had been asking around about her. It could be considered a good thing to do before breaking up.
Lin Xiaoying searched for weapons at home and finally decided that it would be more satisfying to deal with Tan Luo with his own hands.
After breaking Tan Luo's leg and causing her to miss school for a month, the two of them were temporarily even.
No matter how Tan Luo came to tell Lin Xiaoying later, her threat was not a real threat, but just a joke, and Lin Xiaoying would never believe her again.
The word "scumbag" was used to describe Tan Luoguan.
All kinds of gossip about them have been circulating in the school forum, but no matter how twisted the gossip is, Lin Xiaoying can't refute it.
After all, it was he who pried into Wei Zhuoning's privacy first, so being tricked by Tan Luo was a lesson for him.
From then on, she devoted herself to getting close to Wei Zhuoning by relying on her own strength.
Even if she approaches a little slower, she has the patience to last a lifetime.
Now that her relationship with Wei Zhuoning is progressing steadily, Tan Luo's evil claws have once again reached out to someone else, and that person is Chi Lin. Lin Xiaoying can't just sit back and watch.
"You told me all this, aren't you afraid that Tan Luo will get angry and tell Zhuo Ning about what happened?"
"I'm afraid." Lin Xiaoying said, "I used to think I was fearless, and that losing anything would not affect my life. But now, I don't want to lose Zhuo Ning at all, and I don't want to distance myself from her again."
"That… "
"But I did some of these things, so I have nothing to complain about even if they are exposed. I am also eager to achieve success, and Zhuoning is qualified to know all the truth." Lin Xiaoying put his hands in his pockets and stretched his legs.
"I don't want you to suffer the same loss I've suffered."
"Thank you, little bird."
"So, did Tan Luo take advantage of you?"
"No." Chi Lin said, "Although I met her several times, she had a plan, and I also had my own purpose."
"You also have a purpose? What is your purpose?"
"It is not convenient to tell you about this matter for the time being."
Lin Xiaoying: “…”
Sometimes Lin Xiaoying felt that Chi Lin's brain was particularly useful, just like how she got first place in the English final exam this time. Her learning ability was actually very outstanding.
Sometimes Lin Xiaoying thought that if he shook the child's head, he might be able to shake out a basin of water.
How long will she continue playing this childish game of imitating the ancients' speech
"Okay, I've said everything I wanted to say. You must have your own plans." Lin Xiaoying stood up and prepared to leave.
"Thank you." Chi Lin picked up Tiger, whose ears and lips were all bruised from sleeping, and sent Lin Xiaoying to the community gate.
While Lin Xiaoying was waiting for the bus, Chi Lin suddenly asked:
"Does the Tan Luo family live in Binhai No. 1?"
Lin Xiaoying thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be called this name."
The front row of single-family villas in Binhai No. 1.
Tan Luo sat on the sofa, drinking coffee and enjoying the live performance of the most popular girl group on stage.
My cell phone rang, and when I opened it, it was Chi Lin.
Tan Luo was cheered up. She never expected that Xiao Chi Lin would contact her on her own initiative.
After Chi Lin rejected her and disappeared immediately in the library last time, she thought her plan was completely ruined.
It seems that the confusion in Koike Rin's heart has not been completely resolved, and she is still reluctant to let go.
Tan Luo dressed up carefully and went out to the place where Chi Lin had agreed to meet, on an overpass.
On a winter evening, the north wind blowing on the overpass felt like it could cut through three layers of skin.
Tan Luo, who was usually not afraid of the cold, couldn't help but hide his whole face in his collar.
I walked forward with difficulty against the wind and finally saw Chi Lin.
Different from Tan Luo who was fully armed, Chi Lin wore only a thin coat, with his hair tied firmly behind his head. He stood straight, looking like a cypress in the snow, which made Tan Luo's heart tremble.
Tan Luo sighed at the "beauty in the world" and walked to Chi Lin with trembling steps:
"Koike Rin has always been different. Even the place where she dates is unexpected."
Chi Lin turned around, his expression was colder than the north wind:
"Do you know why I asked you to meet here?"
I have to say, Tan Luo likes Chi Lin like this, cool and sexy enough.
Every time Chi Lin exuded an aura that was difficult to approach, Tan Luo wanted to know what she would look like when she was embraced and infatuated...
"Because you missed me."
Chi Lin's mouth twitched upwards, making an expression similar to a smile, and looked at the traffic under the overpass:
"I checked. There are few people on this overpass on weekdays. The surveillance camera has been broken for a while and no one has repaired it. Maybe someone can be killed here without anyone noticing."
Tan Luo's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled: "I never knew my Xiaochi Rin had a sense of humor."
"But you know a lot of other things. You know everything you should and shouldn't know."
"What do you mean?"
"My phone is with you, right?"
"Cellphone?" Tan Luo shrugged. "You didn't give it to me for safekeeping."
"Did you crack my password yourself, or did you ask someone else for help? Did you see everything in the phone?"
"What are you talking about, I..."
Tan Luo wanted to continue denying it, but was dazzled by the cold light that flashed in Chi Lin's hand.
When I looked again, I found that her hands were tucked into her sleeves and there was nothing inside.
"What do you have hidden in your sleeves?" Tan Luo's signature smile was a little strained, and his throat also became tight.
"You want to know?" Chi Lin turned his body and faced Tan Luo, "I'll show it to you."
"No, no, I don't want to see it at all."
Chi Lin didn't even listen to what she said and walked straight towards her.
Tan Luo sensed the danger and turned around to run, but as soon as he raised his foot, he was knocked to the ground by a huge force.
When she fell and was dizzy, Chi Lin handcuffed her hands behind her back, quickly tied them behind her back with a rope, and then pressed one knee on Tan Luo's back.
Tan Luo wanted to get up but she had no strength at all. Chi Lin easily controlled her and began to search all her pockets.
Tan Luo felt a sharp pain in his back and his arms were about to break, but he laughed instead:
"Koike Rin is even more handsome than I thought. Keep touching me, don't stop."
Chi Lin: "... You didn't bring your phone with you?"
Tan Luo continued to play tricks: "What kind of mobile phone is this? How would I know what you are looking for..."
While she was speaking, a knife came down from in front of her eyes, piercing the skin on her nose like tofu. With a "buzz", the blade sank into the ground.
Tan Luo: “…”
The feeling of warm blood flowing down the bridge of his nose was so real that Tan Luo felt as if his soul was drained out for an instant and he was speechless.
"Answer me two questions. Did you find my phone? And where is it now?"
Chi Lin is naturally good at interrogation, and physical pain is nothing to her. If Tan Luo still refuses to confess, she has more tricks up her sleeve that will make him suffer neither the consequences nor the consequences.
Of course, interrogation techniques must be improved in this legal era.
Chi Lin, who is familiar with the human body's meridians, is confident that he can make Tan Luo suffer without causing any serious injuries.
Tan Luo did not give her the opportunity to use interrogation methods, and she admitted it during the stage of threatening with the dagger:
"Lady, spare me, I did find your phone, but I don't have it with me right now... I'm not stupid, why would I carry it with me so you can find it?"
Chi Lin: "That's at Binhai No. 1."
"Lady, you are really smart. You even know where I live. If you want to get the phone back, you have to spare my life. Only then can I return it to its original owner."
Chi Lin actually just wanted to know the whereabouts of the phone. Since the phone was really picked up by her, then the love poem and the little details about Ohara, everything confirmed Chi Lin's guess.
Tan Luo is not His Majesty at all, he is just a villain who takes advantage of others' misfortune.
Feeling her back loosen a little, Tan Luo wanted to take the opportunity to struggle to get up, but Chi Lin tapped her shoulder blades and spine a few times, and a strong pain restricted all Tan Luo's movements.
Chi Lin stood up, but Tan Luo, who was not under any pressure, could not stand up either.
“What did you do to me…” Tan Luo was completely unconscious from the head down. Breathing became extremely difficult and he almost suffocated.
Chi Lin took a black pill and stuffed it into Tan Luo's mouth, then lifted her chin up, and she had no choice but to swallow it.
"I just sealed a few of your acupuncture points, which will be unsealed soon. But this pill was carefully prepared for you by me." Chi Lin said, "This medicine is extracted from seven deadly poisons. It tastes sweet, but it is actually very toxic. It won't kill you immediately, and the poison will take thirty days to spread throughout your body. As long as you get the medicine from me every month, you won't have to worry about your life and you can live to the end of your life."
Chi Lin knew that there were many rumors about her, including that she was weird and that she might not be a fairy but a goblin.
Taking advantage of these rumors, he could scare Tan Luo. Without taking her life, he could control her and make her shut up for the rest of her life.
The numbness gradually faded away, and Tan Luo, whose lower body could move on his own, leaned against the overpass and vomited for a long time, but failed to vomit out the pill.
"I have a few more questions." Chi Lin grabbed her wrist, pinched the vital point in the middle of her wrist, and said coldly,
"Why do you happen to have a birthmark?"
"Just so?" Tan Luo's doubts didn't sound fake. "Are you referring to the birthmark on your chest? Of course it's real."
Chi Lin narrowed his eyes: "Really?"
"How can a birthmark be fake? Lady, my life is in your hands, how dare I lie. I just found your phone, and on a whim I cracked the password and saw the information about Ohara. I did want to use this information to get closer to you, but it didn't work in the end. It's just a failed date, not a murder, right, lady... As for the birthmark you mentioned, I've had it there since I was a child. If you don't believe me, I'll take it off now and you can verify it with your own hands!"
As Tan Luo was about to straighten his chest, Chi Lin found it offensive and refused.
At this point, Tan Luo has no reason to lie.
So, Chi Lin did record in her mobile phone the information about her search for His Majesty, as well as information related to Ohara, but the matter of His Majesty's birthmark was in her mind from beginning to end, so there was no need to record it. Tan Luo probably really didn't know about it.
Birthmarks may not really be evidence of past lives.
After the rope that tied up Tan Luo was pulled away, Tan Luo finally regained his freedom.
She touched her nose and felt blood on her hand.
The knife just now really cut into her face.
For Tan Luo, who has always relied on her face for a living and cannot accept even a pimple, the loss of her skin was too much of a blow to her.
"I didn't expect you to be such a vicious person..." Tan Luo looked at Chi Lin.
Chi Lin sneered: "Same here. Don't worry, as long as Miss Tan keeps her mouth shut about my affairs, I will naturally give you the antidote on time. Otherwise, it will not just be another wound."
"What will happen then?"
Chi Lin said with a gloomy face: "The poison will take effect. After 49 days of festering all over your body, you will turn into a pool of blood and die in an ugly way."
Tan Luo stared at her and shuddered.
Chi Lin felt that he had achieved his goal, but he did not expect that Tan Luo's frightened expression gradually changed, like rippling a pool of spring water. Tan Luo said coquettishly:
"I used to think you were a flower on the mountain top, and I wanted to pluck you off and abuse you. I didn't expect you to be a bitch. The more vicious you are, the more I like you. Don't worry, I will never tell anyone about your affairs. The antidote is not important at all. What's important is that I can see you every month in the future. Xiaochi Rin, Miss Chi, will you accept me as your apprentice?"
Chi Lin: “…”
In this era, there are always some developments that Chi Lin could never have imagined.
