Lan Zufeng had a bad premonition in his heart and almost stayed up all night. While tossing and turning, he thought: even in the morning, he would not get any results from Lan Xiu and his wife.
It turns out that his guess was right.
It could be seen that Lan Xiuhe and Lin Peizhi also stayed up all night, looking haggard and exhausted.
Lin Peizhi's back looked a little stooped, and the elegant temperament of a lady was gone; Lan Xiuhe's temples were completely white, and his eyes were dull. They still kept their mouths tightly shut, like two mutes.
Lan Zufeng waited patiently for a long time, knowing it was hopeless, sighed, and went downstairs first, the servants escorted Lan Xiu and his wife to walk behind, Gu Nianbin and Lu Xiaoxian silently followed.
When they appeared in the restaurant, everyone stood up one after another, but no one dared to make a sound, because the atmosphere was too dignified. Lan Zufeng sat down silently, looked up at Lan Xiu and Lin Peizhi, and spoke slowly and deeply: "Let's go after breakfast."
The nonsensical words made everyone baffled. They all looked at Lin Peizhi and Lan Xiuhe in amazement. The two people who were still in high spirits yesterday were expressionless, their eyes were dull, and they looked haggard as if they had aged ten years overnight. age.
Hearing Lan Zufeng's words, the couple sat down, bowed their heads silently and started eating breakfast.
Lan Qin'er finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Lin Peizhi, "Auntie, where are you and uncle going?"
Alinda secretly pulled her clothes under the table to signal her not to speak.
Lin Peizhi seemed to have never heard of it, staring blankly at the clear porridge in the bowl without answering. Lan Qin'er didn't dare to ask any more questions, she knew that something big must have happened at home, otherwise Lan Xiuhe and Lin Peizhi, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, wouldn't be like this.
After a while, Uncle Hua walked in and whispered something in Lan Zufeng's ear.
Lan Zufeng nodded, and looked around Lan Xiu and his wife's faces, "You guys, do you still insist on keeping silent?"
Lan Xiuhe put down the spoon in his hand, lowered his head and said, "I'm done eating."
Lin Peizhi glanced at him, put down his fork, and sat silently.
Lan Zufeng sighed, and said to Uncle Hua: "Send them out."
Uncle Hua responded, sighed inaudibly, and silently followed behind Lan Xiu and the couple.
Lan Zufeng sat without moving, so everyone dared not move. But they all stopped and sat quietly.
Looking at the figure of the eldest son who was gradually going away, Lan Zufeng finally showed a trace of sadness in his eyes. After this time, Lan Xiuhe might never come back...
He used to always feel that family scandals should not be publicized, so no matter who got into trouble, it was spent money to protect his family and his own reputation. Over the years, he has covered up those scandals one by one. After coming down, maybe it was because of his protection that they became so unscrupulous and lawless.
In his life, he was strict with himself, but he neglected and indulged his children and grandchildren, which eventually led to a big mistake.
This time, if I hadn't witnessed their despicable and dirty acts with my own eyes, I'm afraid I would still try my best to cover up the truth as before.
In addition to being disheartened, he also had a great understanding. He was wrong, very wrong! Therefore, he no longer conceals, no longer covers up, a mistake is a mistake, and everyone should pay the price for their mistakes.
Lan Xiuhe's figure disappeared at the door. Lan Zufeng withdrew his gaze, glanced around, and said slowly, "You must all be very curious, wanting to know where they are going? I don't have to keep this from you, I'm here to pick them up It is the police, and in the next few days, they will be investigated in the police station until Kaiser's whereabouts are clarified."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes shot at Gu Nianbin. Lan Kaiser is clearly here, what's going on
"The person you are looking at is not Lan Kaiser. His name is Gu Nianbin, and he is Lu Xiaoxian's husband. Lan Xiu and his wife replaced Kaiser with him more than a year ago, but they refused to disclose Kaiser's whereabouts, so , I had to hand them over to the police and let the police deal with it."
Except for Lan Kaili, everyone was dumbfounded, too shocked to believe it.
Lan Xiuming looked at Gu Nianbin and then at Lan Zufeng, with an unbelievable look: "Dad, this is clearly Kaiser, he looks exactly the same!"
Lan Qiner said again: "Grandpa, why is eldest brother Lu Xiaoxian's husband? Ever since Lu Xiaoxian came home, many things have happened, you can't trust her!"
Alianda was the least courageous, so Hou also interjected at this time: "Father, brother and sister-in-law went to the police station, they will suffer!"
"If you make a mistake, you should suffer a little bit," Lan Zufeng stood up slowly, with a serious expression on his face: "Listen up, everyone, from now on, no matter who it is, if they commit crimes again, they will break the law with their own bodies , I will hand you over to the police as I did today, and deal with it according to law."
His expression was rather stern, and his sharp eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, making people daunting. No one dared to raise their heads, they were all afraid of the cold gaze. Lan Zufeng paused, and then said: "Nian Bin, Xiaoxian, Kaili, you all come upstairs with me."
Those who were called stood up and followed him upstairs, and the people left behind had different expressions: Alianda was shocked, Qiao Yiyi was surprised, Zeng Hong was shocked, Lan Xiuming was indifferent, and Lan Kaida's expression was dark and unclear.
Lan Kaili didn't know what happened until he got upstairs.
He didn't expect that he, who always thought he was a participant in the incident, was actually kept in the dark.
It turned out that it was Lan Zufeng who rescued Gu Nianbin and Lu Xiaoxian that night.
Although he has been brooding over Lu Xiaoxian's smashing of the Yuan blue and white plum vase, it is not enough to become an old fool. After the fire in the small warehouse happened, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he paid more attention.
That night in the rubber plantation shootout, he got the news and assigned his cronies in the plantation to rescue Gu Nianbin and Lu Xiaoxian and leave through the secret passage.
During the melee, Gu Nianbin got a bullet on his calf, but fortunately it was not dangerous. After going to the hospital overnight to take out the bullet, he was sent to a secret place to recuperate. At that time, Gu Nianbin turned everything to Lan Zu Feng confessed everything. Hope to get his help.
Although Lan Zufeng was dubious, he still agreed to Gu Nianbin's plan, and when he came back from his wounds, he would use a trick to lure the snake out of the hole. That's why at the dinner table last night, Lan Zufeng and Gu Nianbin talked about the past seemingly casually.
Gu Nianbin's performance really made Lin Peizhi and Lan Xiuhe panic. They were sure that Lan Xiu and his wife would fight overnight, because the sooner they acted, the abnormality that Gu Nianbin was showing could be covered up.
Gu Nianbin felt that instead of looking for a needle in a haystack to find Ubidan, it would be better to directly open the gap from Lan Xiu and his wife. But unexpectedly, after the scandal was exposed, they remained silent.
After hearing this, Lan Kaili let out a sigh of relief, and said with some complaints: "Grandpa should have told me after you escaped from danger. It made me worry all day long, and I didn't even think about doing anything."
Gu Nianbin said: "I told you, the play is unreal. They are panicked and suspicious, and they will inevitably not show their feet. In this way, we can see more clearly in the dark."
"How many people entered the garden that night, and who belonged to them, have you found out?"
"Lan Xiuhe's people, An Yirou's people, your people, grandpa's people, that's about it." Gu Nianbin said, "Fortunately, grandpa has been protecting us in secret, otherwise the consequences would be really disastrous."
Lan Zufeng listened to their conversation without interjecting, he was in a daze, Lu Xiaoxian felt sore in his heart, and said softly: "Grandpa, don't think too much, Lan Kaize will find it."
Lan Zufeng shook his head, "Ever since Nian Bin told me about this, I already have a bad feeling. I understand my son. If they don't say it, it's because they don't want to say it, but they can't. Kaiser..." He He didn't go on, just shook his head with a sad expression.
"Grandpa, big brother, he will be fine." Lan Kaili comforted him, "Maybe big brother just doesn't like the life here, so he walked far away so that we can't find him."
Lan Zufeng looked at the blue and far-reaching sky outside the window, "I've always known about Kaiser. He didn't like women since he was a child. When there were signs of that, his parents always opposed him with a strong attitude. I Although I love him all the time, I haven't understood his heart too much. To be honest, I was on the side of his parents at the time, thinking that I should correct him. He will be the heir in the future, so what if he doesn't get married? No How can the child do it? Just like this, the relationship between him and his parents is getting worse and worse, and he is becoming more and more indifferent and withdrawn. He often stays alone quietly. Seeing him like that, I really feel sorry for him. I know he wants to What I want, but I can’t give it to him. Now that I’ve figured it out, it’s too late!”
"Grandpa, don't be so pessimistic," Gu Nianbin said, "Things haven't reached that point yet, we don't even know where Kaiser is?"
"I asked you to come up because I want you to hand over the information and evidence you have to the police without reservation, and let them investigate. Maybe relying on their means and methods, you can find out the truth."
"I know, Grandpa," Lan Kaili said, "I'll do it."
"Okay, you all go out, I'm tired and want to rest for a while."
Lan Kaili wanted to say something, but Aunt Gui waved at him, so they all stopped talking and left the door silently.
When he arrived at Gu Nianbin's room, Lan Kaili asked him: "Brother, what are your plans now?"
"Let's wait, maybe the police's intervention will make things better."
"I was asking when are you going to leave?"
Gu Nianbin patted him with a smile, "Why, you want me to go after the matter is revealed?"
"On the contrary," Lan Kaili said, "I'm really worried about Grandpa's appearance. Although you are not really Lan Kaiser, you look almost exactly like him. With you here, Grandpa will feel better."
"Don't worry, I won't leave so early, at least until the day when the whole thing comes to light."
As soon as the matter of Lan Xiu and his wife finding an outsider to replace their son was made public, it immediately swept across the whole of Australia like a storm. Originally, the Lan family was one of the few families in Australia. Xiuhe and his wife refused to disclose the whereabouts of their son, which caused the public to discuss and speculate a lot. In the streets and alleys, after dinner, almost everyone is talking about this matter.
A monk in a dark gray robe sat silently at a tea stall on the side of the street, listening to the people at the next table talking loudly. The big bamboo hat covered his face, only a pointy chin could be seen, as if he was a handsome young man.
