After reading this article, Fu Yao's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and she bit her lower lip lightly.
When she mentioned her mother, she was always a little sad, but after a long time, she gradually got used to it, and she was not particularly sad.
It's just that when I see other students have mothers, I can't help being a little envious. But after Fu Chengyan woke up, her emotions gradually faded away, not because she forgot her mother, but because she transferred all her feelings to her father alone.
She only found out today that her mother used to be Mr. Rolles' assistant.
I saw some people talking about it before, saying that Mr. Fu is Mr. Rolles' apprentice. But she knew very well that what Dad used was not magic, but spells, which was completely different from Rolles.
Therefore, it is impossible for Rolls to be her father's master. This is just the imagination of netizens.
But now it seems that her family has some connection with Rolles.
Ten years ago, the Internet was not as developed as it is now, and there were not many materials handed down. The matter of the great magician Rolles' retirement will definitely be listed on the hot search for several days today, triggering heated discussions among people across the country.
But in the situation more than ten years ago, although some people would read the news, not many people would discuss it. At that time, people's main Internet access tool was the computer, which was not as convenient as the mobile phone they carry with them now. They could read the news anytime and anywhere, and express their thoughts with just a few fingers.
There are already tens of thousands of comments under the article, and the discussion is very intense.
Many people showed great interest in this matter, and the discussion in the hot comment area was particularly intense.
"Mr. Rolles hasn't appeared on stage for many years. I found out that someone contacted his family a few years ago, saying that he was in poor health and it was not convenient for him to be on stage."
"He must have been seriously ill. Maybe he wanted to find a successor, so he chose Mr. Fu?"
"I'm from No.7 Middle School. I've heard people say that Fu Yao's mother has passed away, that is... Ning Zihui is no longer here."
"The baby in the photo is Fu Yao, right? It's a little pitiful. I also heard that she lost her mother when she was very young. Later, her father was injured at the construction site and became a vegetable. She woke up recently. She was adopted by relatives when she was young. As a result, That family didn't treat her well either, and she lived alone afterwards."
"Ah, so that girl is so difficult..."
"I found out that there was a comment that was a bit strange... Someone said, 'I saw a lot of policemen around the theater, but I didn't dare to approach', did something happen? Ning Zihui died, when Rolles was the most popular Don't you think it's too strange to disappear suddenly?"
The last piece of information made Fu Yao's heart beat faster. Based on the information provided by netizens, she checked the comment from that year.
The comments were posted on a very old social platform. At that time, there were not many social platform users, and the comments were not as exaggerated as they are now, with only a few hundred. The social platforms of that year have gradually fallen behind. Although they are still in operation, there are not many users at present, and they have been replaced by new and more convenient social platforms.
The original text is like this:
Starlight Magic Troupe: The performance originally scheduled for this Sunday has been cancelled. Audiences who have purchased tickets can go to the theater to get a refund.
The time was fourteen years ago.
In the comment area, many people discussed why the performance was suddenly canceled, especially the fans who liked Rollyes very much, they were very unhappy and asked the theater to give a reasonable explanation.
At this time, a person posted the comment about seeing the police, and many people replied under the comment.
"The police are here? Is something wrong? Is Mr. Rolles all right?"
"Is it an accident or a case?"
"My house is nearby, and I saw the police. I saw a lot of police running around, as if they were searching for something. Something must have happened!"
"That man who is good at changing people, did he use magic to make himself disappear?"
…
There are also some comments that were posted months after the message was posted, and even a year later, and years later, there are still people replying.
"Three months have passed, will the Starlight Magic Troupe appear on stage again?"
"I will always remember that piece of starlight!"
"It's been a year, Mr. Rolles, where are you?"
"Although I know it's impossible, I still hope to see the day when Mr. Rolles returns to the stage in my lifetime."
Fu Yao had a feeling in her heart that her mother...may not have died of illness as her aunt said.
What should father know
It's just that she hesitated, wondering if she should ask her father, she was afraid that he would be sad, but she really wanted to know what happened back then. There was an accident in the theater, and the time happened to be around the same time as her mother's death. Could it be that the person who had the accident...
Ye Ran saw that Fu Yao's mood was a bit depressed, he patted his head, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't bring up this topic."
Fu Yao forced a smile, "It's okay, it's over long ago. And I should thank you, in fact, no one in my family has ever told me about my mother, if you didn't let me read this article... I might even her I don’t know what to do.”
She couldn't eat anymore, and left the Chuan Chuan Xiang shop with Ye Ran.
Ye Ran's wheelchair walked very slowly, and Fu Yao also slowed down following him.
At this time, Ye Ran's wheelchair stopped.
He looked at Fu Yao, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "I've heard a little bit about what happened back then. My family was a sponsor of the Starlight Magic Troupe. Later, my father told me about it, you have to listen ?"
Fu Yao's heart was shocked, she turned around, grabbed Ye Ran's arm suddenly, and said eagerly: "Say it!"
He actually knew about it!
Ye Ran then slowly said: "At that time, the Starlight Magic Troupe was going to perform, and they needed to arrange the scene in advance. The people in the magic troupe were very mysterious. They didn't let people from my father's company help, and all the arrangements were done by the people of the magic troupe. My father respected their rules, so he didn't let anyone follow them. My father said that the people of the magic troupe have always been like this. After they set up the scene, they would not allow anyone to go in to see through it, so as to ensure that the magic trick would not be seen through. So generally, they set up the scene the night before."
"But something happened that night. My father received a call from someone from the Starlight Magic Troupe, saying that a strange accident had happened at the scene. It was already late at that time, so my father went there in person right away..."
Fu Yao's face turned pale, and she had a premonition that something terrible would happen next.
Horrible things to do with her mother.
The fingers holding Ye Ran's arm clenched unconsciously.
Ye Ran glanced at his arm, then looked away, and continued: "When my father arrived, the people from the magic troupe had already called the police, and there were many policemen and police cars. I heard from the people from the magic troupe that their work today is Dig a hole under the floor—these were the secrets of their magic, and they couldn’t be told to others, but they couldn’t hide it at this time, so they told the police. I think the secret of the Starlight Magic Troupe’s transformation into a living person is in this hole Of course, even if they knew there was a hole in the ground, others would not know how they got in."
"The hole has been dug. Mr. Rolles took his assistant down to look. This is a very common thing, and the others didn't care. But after a long time, they didn't come up, so someone went down to call them... "
"As a result, they saw that Mr. Rolles
Passed out in the cave, his assistant has disappeared..."
"My father only knew that the police dispatched a lot of people to find the assistant that night, but what happened...he never asked again. It involved other people's sex, and it was inconvenient for him to ask. As for Mr. Rolles...he has been in a coma, I don't know what happened next."
Fu Yao didn't realize that she had unconsciously exerted force on her hand, and she had grabbed several deep red marks on Ye Ran's arm.
Ye Ran didn't seem to feel it, and let her hold his hand. After he stated the facts, he didn't speak again, and he didn't want to express any speculation of his own.
Fu Yao had many thoughts in her mind.
She didn't know if the police had found her mother, and whether her mother's death was due to this incident.
Ye Ran's father was not the person involved, so he didn't know much about it, but Fu Yao felt that her father would definitely know the inside story.
She really wanted to know what happened, since it was her mother after all.
But she was afraid of knowing the truth. If she heard her father say "the police found a cold body somewhere later", she didn't know what kind of expression she should use to face her father who said this.
She stood for a long time, and then slowly let go of Ye Ran's fingers.
"Let's go!" Ye Ran saw that her mood gradually calmed down, and calmly withdrew his hand, pulled his sleeves, covering the few red marks on the cuffs.
Neither of them spoke, and walked out of the alley slowly.
Just after leaving the alley, several people suddenly rushed out from the entrance of the alley, blocking their way.
Fu Yao looked at those people. It was Liang Xu who was leading a few high school seniors.
Fu Yao didn't know what they wanted to do, didn't they learn a lesson from what happened last time? You don't want to fight again, do you
Even if she was allowed to beat these people alone, she wasn't afraid, and she didn't think that these people would come together to deal with her so shamelessly.
It's just that there is Ye Ran by her side at this moment, it's not convenient to fight with others, so she wants to leave first.
But at this moment, Liang Xu caught sight of her, laughed and called out, "School beauty, don't leave! Let's chat!"
There are many people around him now, and he feels that he is doing well again, and he is not afraid of Fu Yao at all, and even wants to provoke her and take revenge for being beaten by her last time.
What's more, there is a cripple next to Fu Yao, which is a burden to her. If he can't beat Fu Yao, he can vent his anger on the cripple.
From this point of view, this is simply a god-sent opportunity for him to avenge the last time he was beaten.
While talking, Liang Xu walked up to Fu Yao's side, and said arrogantly: "We are collecting protection fees, and everyone else has paid them. Hurry up and hand them in! Otherwise, you might be late for the next class!"
While speaking, he showed a wanton smile.
He has been walking around Fu Yao these days, for fear of being beaten up again if she sees her. I have long been looking forward to the day when I can smile so unscrupulously in front of her.
Fu Yao clenched her fists.
She really wanted to beat up these idiots who were fighting scum and had no self-knowledge, but she couldn't beat people in front of Ye Ran, she was afraid of scaring him.
If he knew that she was so violent, he would definitely not want her to be his tutor, and he would even stay away from her like other classmates and never dare to talk to her again.
She took a step back, hid behind Ye Ran's wheelchair, and said in a terrified voice: "What should I do? I... I'm so scared!"
Liang Xu: "..."
He took a closer look at the girl in front of him, suspecting that he had mistaken her.
Ye Ran turned around, reached out and patted Fu Yao's arm, and comforted softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Fu Yao nodded, but she seemed even more frightened. She shrunk her head and whispered, "They... are very bad, they can beat people!"
While comforting her, Ye Ran looked at Liang Xu, "What do you want?"
"Five hundred per person!" Liang Xu stretched out his hand carelessly towards him, "If you don't pay, don't even think about leaving here today, there is no negotiation!"
Ye Ran said lightly, "I didn't bring any money."
These words made Fu Yao's heart tense, he... did he mean to declare war
He has a leg injury, how could he fight with a group of people like Liang Xu? It is impossible to beat it!
what to do? Let's start in a while, does she want to help? If you don't help Ye Ran, you will definitely be beaten badly, but if you help... her job will be lost.
Liang Xu's face changed, he didn't expect Ye Ran to say that.
So he wanted to fight
He actually didn't want to fight Ye Ran, after all, behind him was the wealthy Ye family. But if he must resist, he doesn't mind beating up this rich young master.
He has nothing to lose, so he has nothing to fear.
Ye Ran took out his mobile phone from his pocket, looked up at Liang Xu, and said, "So can I pay with my mobile phone?"
Fu Yao: "..."
Liang Xu took out his mobile phone after being stunned, and opened the payment code, "Scan it."
Ye Ran scanned and tapped the phone a few more times.
Liang Xu's mobile phone prompts: The payment is 1,000 yuan.
"Can we go now?" Ye Ran's tone was still calm, as if he just greeted someone briefly.
"Uh... that's fine."
Liang Xu didn't expect Ye Ran to pay the money so readily, and he wanted to make things difficult for them. But in front of these younger brothers, he said that each person was five hundred, and they paid the money. He really couldn't find an excuse to embarrass them.
The last time Fu Yao beat him, he didn't want to mention it again in front of his brothers, it was quite embarrassing after all.
Fu Yao looked back at them, thinking about how to pay Ye Ran away, and then ask for the money back.
At this time, Ye Ran turned the direction of the wheelchair, and Fu Yao headed towards the school.
Almost all the students have gone back now, and it is unlikely that they will be able to wait for the next student. Liang Xu and the senior three boys also went back to school.
They walked fast, surpassing Ye Ran and Fu Yao who were walking in front, and bumped into Ye Ran's wheelchair when they passed by.
When Fu Yao saw the group of boys going towards the toilet, she had an idea in her mind.
When they come out of the toilet, grab them and beat them up, and get back the money Ye Ran gave them just now!
But the premise is to get rid of Ye Ran first.
She stopped and said, "I'm going to the toilet, why don't you go back to the classroom first?"
Ye Ran said, "I want to go to the bathroom."
Fu Yao didn't want him to bump into those people again, so she suggested to him: "There is a toilet upstairs, why don't you go upstairs? I saw those ninth graders there, don't let them ask you for money after seeing them. "
There are toilets on every floor of the teaching building. In addition, the school also has a large two-story public toilet. This is the public toilet that Liang Xu and the others went to. Compared with the toilet upstairs, this public toilet is cleaned more cleanly, and many boys will choose to sneak here to smoke. Some shrewd class teachers will go to the toilet to catch students who smoke, and then send them warnings.
"It's okay, I gave the money, they won't make it difficult for me." Ye Ran smiled, "I'll be here for a while
Wait for you? "
Fu Yao was looking for a chance to separate from Ye Ran, so naturally she wouldn't let him wait, she rubbed her belly, "My stomach is not feeling well, it may take a while. You can go back to the classroom when you come out later, don't wait for me."
Ye Ran responded, "Okay."
Then headed towards the men's restroom.
Fu Yao pretended to go into the toilet, turned around and saw Ye Ran disappear behind the door of the men's toilet, then walked out, waiting behind a nearby big tree.
At this time, she saw Shen Kaibo passing by not far away, so she stepped out and waved to him.
Shen Kaibo ran over immediately, and when he approached Fu Yao, he saw a blue bruise on his neck.
"This bastard, several people came to fight me!" Shen Kaibo said angrily, "I had to slip away because there were too many of them, and now he came to collect protection money again, master, what should we do? Or should I find someone to follow him?" He fights? But... I don't like group fights, and if we fight first, the brothers will be punished by the school."
Fu Yao moved her wrist, "No, the two of us are enough."
Do these people really think that they can win if they have a lot of people? She didn't pay attention to these trash fish.
After all, no matter how many miscellaneous fish there are, they are just miscellaneous fish.
"Wait a minute," she said, "wait for them to come out."
She wanted to wait for Ye Ran to leave before doing anything. He should come out faster by himself, right
…
In the men's room at this moment, Liang Xu was standing at the door smoking a cigarette. Like other boys at school, he likes to hide here and smoke.
Although he often bullies his classmates, he is still afraid of the teacher. The school has banned smoking, and he dare not go to the teaching area to smoke no matter how bold he is.
He took a puff on his cigarette and saw Ye Ran walking towards the toilet in a wheelchair.
He only thought he was here to go to the toilet, and didn't intend to ignore him.
But he saw Ye Ran's wheelchair driving directly towards him.
Ye Ran squinted his eyes, showing his trademark evil smile, looked up at him and said, "I have something to tell you."
Liang Xu frowned, "What can I tell you?"
Ye Ran tilted his head, "You just took a thousand dollars from me, it's been a while, if you count the interest, you can just pay me back 10,000 dollars!"
Liang Xu's face changed slightly, "You better be joking."
The evil spirit in Ye Ran's smile became even stronger, "What if I say no?"
After Liang Xu took the money, he didn't want to continue to embarrass Ye Ran, but he couldn't help being furious when he said this, "Are you kidding me!"
He ruthlessly stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and strode towards Ye Ran.
"Little cripple, you are impatient!"
He suddenly reached out and pinched Ye Ran's neck.
Several boys in the third grade who followed Liang Xu gathered around to watch the good show, wondering if this little cripple had something wrong with his brain, he acted as a hacker in the TV series and he thought he was a hero
But the next moment, everyone was stunned.
They didn't see what happened at all, and when they realized it, they saw Liang Xu fell to the ground clutching his stomach.
Ye Ran reached out and grabbed Liang Xu's back collar, turned the wheelchair, and dragged him into the toilet.
There were bursts of flushing sounds from the toilet, as well as Liang Xu's howling.
The boys outside were startled when they heard it. After a while, a boy who had a very good relationship with Liang Xu remembered, "Go help! Why are you standing there? He's alone!"
Only a few people came to their senses and rushed into the toilet.
They saw that Ye Ran pushed Liang Xu's head into the urinal with one hand, and pressed the water switch from time to time. Liang Xu tried to struggle, but he couldn't break free as if he was caught by a pair of iron clamps.
"Let go!" A boy strode over and punched Ye Ran in the face.
Ye Ran's wheelchair turned suddenly, something hit the boy's leg hard, and his neck suddenly felt cold.
He reached out to touch it, and there was a faint blood stain on his hand.
Turning around, I saw Ye Ran glance at his finger with some distaste, on the ring on his finger, there were a few streaks of blood that were particularly glaring.
He collapsed in fright.
If the opponent had used a little more force just now, he might have disappeared immediately.
Ye Ran ignored the boy, grabbed Liang Xu again, and dragged him to the urinal.
Liang Xu shouted hoarsely, "I'll give you money! I'll give you money!"
Only then did Ye Ran let go of his hand. He took out his mobile phone and opened the payment code. Seeing that Liang Xu was still lying on the ground panting, he kicked him with his uninjured foot.
Liang Xu struggled to stand up, took out his mobile phone and scanned Ye Ran's payment code, gritted his teeth, and paid 10,000 yuan.
Ye Ran put away his phone when he heard the prompt "receive 10,000 yuan", he glanced at Liang Xu, smiled wickedly again, and said, "In the future, if you need money, just ask me to borrow it. So helpful!"
Liang Xu: "..."
When Ye Ran's figure disappeared behind the toilet door, Liang Xu's body was still trembling.
"This man..." he trembled, "is...the devil?"
A boy asked cautiously: "Brother Xu, do you want to find a way to get back the place?"
Liang Xu gritted his teeth, "Looking for farts! He's a plague god that can't be offended, so I'll make a detour when I see him in the future! Damn, Fu Yao is even more gentle and cute than him..."
Two boys wanted to come to help him, but he pushed them away and walked out of the toilet.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Liang Xu saw the gentle and lovely Fu Yao looking at him with a smile.
