Twenty minutes ago.
int laboratory loading car.
Luo Zhan: "After this phone call is over, you immediately ask Qi Jin to check something."
Tan Yunchang: "What's the matter?"
Luo Zhan: "The specific time and reason why Lan Jingqian went abroad. Especially the latter, I want to know whether the Tang family also played a very important or even decisive role in this matter."
Tan Yunchang: "He is my male god, of course I have already checked this - he went abroad just 17 years ago. But the specific reason has not been found, it should be caused by external forces."
Luo Zhan: "External force..."
Tan Yunchang: "Wait, you just said the Tang family? Do you suspect that my male god was forced out of the country by the Tang family?"
Luo Zhan: "Auto Technology has not been involved in the domestic field for many years. As far as I know, the Tang family's industry is only limited to China - so after Lan Jingqian went abroad, there is basically no basis for the two of them to have bad relations."
Tan Yunchang: "It shouldn't be in China. He's just an unknown college student. How can he have an intersection with the Tang family?"
"… "
After a few seconds of silence on the phone, Luo Zhan slowly said a name: "Tang Shiyu."
Tan Yunchang was stunned for a moment: "Who?"
"Tang Shixin's younger sister, Tang Shiyu, I heard from my grandfather that she married abroad 16 years ago."
"What does she have to do with my male god?"
"In the teahouse on Friday, didn't you analyze Lan Jingqian's injury history?"
"...Fuck." Tan Yunchang swallowed hard, "Goosebumps all over me... According to what you said, it seems that every link is right."
Luo Zhan did not answer.
Tan Yunchang digested it for a long time before slowly coming back to his senses: "There seems to be no problem with this chain, but which link did you cut in and start integrating? After all, such a fragmented and large-span information volume."
Luo Zhan: "We'll talk about this later. The top priority, you ask Qi Jin to check one thing as verification."
"?"
"Seventeen years ago, the intersection of Lan Jingqian and Tang Shiyu, and the possibility of Tang Shiyu having an unmarried child after Lan Jingqian went abroad."
"…!"
a minute ago.
Luo Zhan received two text messages from Tan Yunchang on his mobile phone—
"According to Qi Jin's database matching results, Lan Jingqian and Tang Shiyu do have traces of contact, and there is a possibility of an intimate relationship. As for unmarried births, Tang Shiyu's whereabouts within a year before going abroad have been wiped out so cleanly that it is impossible to judge."
"There is only so much information, what are you going to do?"
After reading it, Luo Zhan tapped two words on his phone: "Cheat him."
After sending a message, the young man put away his mobile phone, jumped off the front body of the supercar, and walked straight to the black semi-convertible car.
…
now.
Lan Jingqian froze in the driver's seat, almost suspecting that he had auditory hallucinations. After the huge shock, his quick-response reason quickly understood the most literal causal relationship behind the name Luo Zhan.
So instead of being shocked, annoyance surfaced on Lan Jingqian's face: "What do you call me?"
Luo Zhan fully collected the information he needed and came up with the final answer. From seventeen years ago to the present, every branch and leaf on the unclear vine related to Tang Ran's life experience gradually appeared in front of him until the veins were clearly visible.
Luo Zhan regained his senses and sighed softly. He pulled out his hand in his trousers pocket and lowered his eyes in a rare compromise:
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry - hello uncle."
Lan Jingqian's face turned pale with anger. His anger rose to a certain extreme, but he laughed angrily: "Uncle? How can I be, how can I bear the uncle of Young Master Luo?"
Luo Zhan lowered his eyes listlessly: "I also think that the span of this identity relationship is a bit large. If another person is caught in the middle, I will probably pretend not to know. After all, I am the one who fell for a generation inexplicably."
Lan Jingqian's cheekbones moved slightly in anger: "Then you pretend not to know."
Luo Zhan didn't even think about it: "Ran Ran is caught in the middle now, I can't pretend I don't know."
"… "
The silence inside and outside the car continued for a long time.
Lan Jingqian finally calmed down slowly. He turned his face and looked up at Luo Zhan again: "How did you guess?"
Luo Zhan raised his eyelids lazily.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, he lowered his gaze again and said at the same time, "I was told yesterday that a person who looks very much like you appeared together with a little girl with a voice very similar to Ran Ran."
Lan Jingqian frowned: "That's why you called me to test me?"
Luo Zhan was noncommittal: "And in yesterday's call, what impressed me the most was your saying that you are going to be a father."
Lan Jingqian did not speak.
Luo Zhan: "I know your relationship history very well, at least in the two years since I've known you, I have never seen you have any contamination with any woman, let alone an intimate relationship. So if there is no accident, the child is basically impossible. It was a new birth, more likely years ago, a certain 'mistake'."
Lan Jingqian regained his senses and looked at Luo Zhan with complicated eyes: "Then you guessed it? Young Master Luo's ability to integrate information is really scary."
Luo Zhan lowered his eyes lazily: "Thank you uncle for the compliment."
Lan Jingqian: "..."
Lan Jingqian glanced at him coldly: "Even if you voluntarily step down, I have to agree to your name."
"Does Mr. Lan agree?"
"dream."
Luo Zhan laughed dumbly.
Before the two could talk again, the soft sound of a blind stick knocking on the ground sounded not far from Luo Zhan's side. Luo Zhan quickly looked up.
Tang Ran stopped a few steps away from him hesitantly: "Dream? What dream?"
The face of Lan Jingqian in the car changed slightly.
Luo Zhan stepped forward and said helplessly, "You can hear it even at such a distance?"
"Just heard the last sentence..." Tang Ran finished softly, looking up at Luo Zhan, "What were you and the driver uncle talking about just now? Why did he say he was dreaming?"
"Well, then you have to ask him yourself."
Tang Ran: "Oh."
Lan Jingqian: "..."
Luo Zhan helped the little girl to the side of the car. Tang Ran touched the position of the car door, and at the same time asked Lan Jingqian curiously: "Uncle, what were you talking about with Luo Luo just now?"
Lan Jingqian opened his mouth, but did not speak.
Luo Zhan watched the excitement for a few seconds and smiled silently. He lowered his eyes and said lazily, "We were just discussing the title."
Tang Ran: "Name?"
Lan Jingqian paused, then looked at Luo Zhan with a warning.
Luo Zhan ignored it, and only responded to the girl: "Well. You call him uncle, my brother, what do you think I should call him?"
Tang Ran lowered her head, thought about it for a while, and said hesitantly, "Although my uncle's voice sounds very young, it should be our elder, so Luo Luo should also call uncle?"
Luo Zhan curled his lips successfully: "I think so too. But your uncle driver doesn't seem to be happy to accept this title."
"?" Tang Ran turned around in confusion, "Don't uncle like this name? Then, what should I call you in the future?"
"… "
Facing the girl's uneasy expression, Lan Jingqian was at a loss for words.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Lan Jingqian glanced at Luo Zhan next to the car expressionlessly. He turned to Tang Ran and sighed softly: "How come? Xiao Ran can shout whatever she wants."
Tang Ran was relieved, and the corners of his eyes were slightly curved: "Luo Luo, I said that my uncle would not disagree."
"Well," Luo Zhan smiled, "please take care of me from now on - uncle, uncle."
Under the small expression of Tang Ran's expectation, Lan Jingqian's cheekbones moved slightly and smiled: "Definitely."
Tang Ran and Luo Zhan's "date" did not go well.
Because of Yang Yilan's phone call, their destination was temporarily changed to the apartment where Tang Ran and Yang Yilan originally lived together.
And besides that…
Luo Zhan, who was driving, glanced in the rear-view mirror—behind the butt of the dark blue supercar he was driving, he was persistently following another black sedan.
Still a light bulb that can't be caught.
Luo Zhan withdrew his gaze unhappy.
"Luo Luo," the little girl suddenly said softly in the passenger seat next to her, "You seem to be a little absent-minded along the way. Is there something wrong?"
"Huh?" Luo Zhan hurriedly returned to his senses.
Tang Ran: "If you have something to do, just let the driver's uncle accompany me to get things."
"No." Luo Zhan denied, "I just suddenly remembered something."
Tang Ran asked curiously, "What's the problem?"
Luo Zhan's thoughts drifted, and he said casually, "The grandma you're going to see later seems to think of me as Luo Xiu. I'm wondering if it will be exposed by your... the new driver accidentally exposes it."
Tang Ran woke up suddenly: "Yes. Grandma still doesn't know that you are Luo Zhan's business." The little girl frowned in distress, "Then how to explain it."
"Don't explain."
"what?"
Luo Zhan looked at the apartment building that was getting closer and said, "Isn't what she wants to give you already packed? Later, you and your grandma will chat downstairs, and your new driver and I will go upstairs to pick up things for you. ."
Tang Ran thought for a few seconds, then nodded solemnly: "Okay, I will be responsible for dragging grandma."
"… "
Luo Zhan was amused by the little girl and laughed dumbly.
to the apartment downstairs.
Two luxury-looking supercars and sedans parked downstairs in the apartment, attracting a lot of attention from passersby.
The driver's door of the dark blue supercar opened, and a young man in a white shirt jacket and a long coat came down. A pair of large brown sunglasses was buckled on the face that seemed to be clear and handsome. The most beautiful peach blossom eyes were tightly covered, and only a high nose bridge and thin lips were exposed.
The young man went around to the side of the passenger seat and helped the little girl in the car down.
When Tang Ran left the car, Yang Yilan pressed her surprise and came to her: "Xiao Ran!"
"Grandma." Tang Ran turned towards the direction of the voice, revealing an unconcealed happiness, "Are you okay?"
"This should be the question that grandma asked you..." Yang Yilan dragged Tang Ran and muttered a few words, and couldn't help but glance at the tall and long-legged young man standing beside the car.
Yang Yilan asked Tang Ran hesitantly: "Why did the eldest young master of the Luo family send you here?"
Tang Ran lowered his head guiltily: "Luo Luo and I made an appointment to come out together today, grandma, he was by my side when you called me."
"I see." Yang Yilan nodded and looked at Luo Zhan again.
Young Master Luo rarely showed obvious hesitation.
Unlike the real Luo Xiu, he was definitely not the kind of person who would have a gentle surface manner. It's just that the person in front of him is an excellent elder to Tang Ran after all, and it seems inappropriate for him to turn a blind eye...
The young master's expression was uncomfortable for two seconds, but he obediently lowered his eyes and whispered, "Hello, grandma."
Yang Yilan was a little flattered and smiled: "It's been so long since I haven't seen you, Young Master still remembers such an old woman as me."
Luo Zhan: "You are Tang Ran's grandmother, my elder. That's right."
Yang Yilan smiled slightly.
This made her wonder how she felt something else.
Luo Zhan had no plans to keep delaying.
After he finished speaking, he turned to Tang Ran and slowed down his voice: "Ranran, your new driver and I will go upstairs to pick up something for you first, okay?"
"Well." Tang Ran nodded, "Grandma, can you give Luo Luo the key?"
Yang Yilan hesitated: "I'll go up with them..."
Tang Ran hurriedly clenched Yang Yilan's hand: "But grandma, I want to chat with you."
Yang Yilan's expression softened immediately: "Okay, then let them go up, I'll chat with us Xiaoran."
"… "
When Luo Zhan and Lan Jingqian who got off the next car walked quickly into the apartment, Yang Yilan looked back strangely.
"Xiao Ran, is the man behind you the new driver you said?"
"correct."
"It looks weird."
Tang Ran bent his eyes: "Listening to the voice is also a very gentle uncle."
Yang Yilan: "The sun is not dazzling today, it's still a bit cloudy. Why are they both wearing big sunglasses?"
Tang Ran was startled: "Did the driver's uncle also wear it?"
"yes."
"… "
Tang Ran turned his face blankly.
Luo Luo wore sunglasses because he was afraid that Yang Yilan would find out that he was Luo Zhan, the young master of the Luo family, not Luo Xiu.
Then why does her new driver have to wear sunglasses...
Inside the apartment building, elevator.
After Luo Zhan took the initiative to press the elevator's up button, the nearest elevator slowly came down.
The number stops at "11". Appears to be other occupants upstairs.
Expecting to wait for a while, Luo Zhan withdrew his hand and stood in front of the ladder door.
Beside him, Lan Jingqian looked at the environment in the elevator room of the entire apartment, and was frowning back: "Xiao Ran lived here before?"
"Well." Luo Zhan replied lazily, "She and the grandmother who just stood next to her have lived here for nearly ten years, and it was not until her 16th birthday that she was brought back to the Tang family and moved into a partial house."
Lan Jingqian frowned deeper.
It was just the next second that he suddenly thought of something, and looked at Luo Zhan badly: "You know Xiaoran well?"
"… "
Luo Zhan put his trousers in his pockets, and the emotions in his eyes fluctuated several times.
In the end, he just laughed softly and raised his eyes again: "Uncle, don't worry, we have officially known each other not long ago, and I have only been to this apartment once."
That title still made Lan Jingqian's eyelids twitch. He endured it and asked with a frown, "Then what is the relationship between you and Xiaoran?"
Luo Zhan laughed dumbly.
He pulled his hands out of his trouser pockets, raised them over his shoulders, and turned half-jokingly, half-seriously.
"You know, what I said before is the truth - I admit that I like her, but we are just a friendship like children who can't be purer."
Lan Jingqian looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"
Luo Zhan put down his hands: "Ranran is only 16 years old. I remember this better than anyone else. No matter how much I like it, I'm not at the level of a beast who wants to fall in love with a minor."
Although Lan Jingqian was not worried, he was relieved.
At this moment, the elevator door "ding" opened in front of them.
Just as Luo Zhan was about to open his legs, he paused again.
In the elevator, an old lady with hunched waist and gray hair was leaning on crutches and taking her first step slowly.
Luo Zhan turned sideways consciously to make way for the old lady who seemed to have difficulty moving.
Hearing the sound of the crutch being clasped on the ground, Luo Zhan's drooping eyelids stood up.
… He remembered the voice.
The last time I came to the apartment, it was the voice that was very similar to the little girl's blind cane that touched him, and it was rare for him to take the initiative to "help others" once.
There seemed to be some hiccups later.
Without waiting for Luo Zhan to recall carefully, the old lady walking in front of him glanced at Luo Zhan who was turning sideways, and stopped: "Thank you, young man."
The words of thanks have not changed.
Luo Zhan lowered his eyes and replied, "You're welcome."
The old lady's crutches were lifted again, but they fell again before half the height.
Her puzzled voice sounded: "You, do you look familiar?"
Luo Zhan stopped.
At this moment, his heart beat for no reason. It's like some kind of bad premonition...
"Ah, I remembered."
After thinking hard, the old lady pointed at Luo Zhan with a smile.
"You're going to the 12th floor, aren't you, and you're seeing your girlfriend again today?"
Luo Zhan: "..."
Lan Jingqian: "?"
-What friend?
