Lan Chen had long expected that Lan Bai would answer him like this. Maybe brothers from other families could live in harmony and help each other in the same boat, but the Lan family had long been like scattered sand, and they flew away when the disaster came.
In fact, the three brothers of the Lan family did not fall apart like they are now. They were once united and respected as brothers and sisters. But at that time, something happened, a tragedy, that changed the whole world of the Lan family. All turned around.
Their eldest brother passed away suddenly. A car accident ruthlessly took away his life when he was only in his thirties.
Everyone thought it was an accident, and that he might have been out of energy that day, but Lan Bai knew full well that he had tampered with it. The car lost control, rushed out of the road, and rolled down the hill. of.
Lan Bai was abroad at the time. After Lan Chen received the call, he hurried to the hospital and saw his eldest brother lying there covered in blood. The whole corridor was filled with cries. It was at that time that the old man fell ill. The matter was left to him, and he was in a very sad mood at the time. The traffic police handed him some relics collected at the scene. Lan Chen took a look and saw that there were cigarettes and lighters, as well as a mobile phone and A very small diary. Lan Chen took all those things home. He began to wonder why his elder brother kept this diary.
Lan Chen found a deserted place and opened the diary, and saw rows of accounts written on it, which were the company's black accounts. Lan Chen was shocked on the spot, and the embezzlers of these black accounts turned out to be It was the second brother. At that time, he was deeply shocked. How could the second brother, who was always smiling, secretly misappropriate nearly 800 million public funds in the company and even the accounts? The eldest brother discovered this matter , so... this was not an accident, it was murder.
Lan Chen was so frightened that he felt cold all over. He squatted down in the park and smoked half a pack of cigarettes. Then he carefully put away everything. He decided that he would remain silent on this matter.
He has been silent until today. Finally, he doesn't want to be silent anymore. More than ten years have passed, and it's time to settle old scores.
"Second brother, are you really unwilling to help me? Our Lan family is in such trouble now. Have you ever thought carefully about what caused it?" Lan Chen casually picked a sofa and sat down. His eyes were fixed on Lan Bai's face: "Eldest brother is dead, and our Lan family seems to have changed overnight."
Lan Bai's hand holding the cigarette suddenly froze. He slowly turned his head and looked at the third brother squarely: "Why are you talking about this? We have been grieving that the eldest brother died, but there are some accidents, and we can't stop it. of."
"Is the death of eldest brother really an accident? Or... someone doesn't want him to live, for fear of touching his own interests?" Lan Chen sneered, and the words he said made Lan Bai's face turn pale with fright.
He immediately asked with a sullen face: "What do you know?"
Lan Chen immediately shrugged his shoulders: "Second brother, why are you staring at me with such a terrifying look? What do you think I know? I'm just reminding us that we brothers should be more harmonious and join hands to fight against each other. The matter has been dealt with.”
Lan Bai was already frightened at this moment. Waves of cold wind blew past his back, making him shiver.
"You're right. Dad really shouldn't stay in a cold place like the hospital. He loves sunshine and cleanliness the most. We have to bury him as soon as possible." Lan Bai suddenly put away the fear in his eyes and rekindled it. A cigarette. This time, he seemed to have changed his unhelpful tone and became willing to do what Lan Chen said.
"Then let's go to the hospital now." Lan Chen stood up.
"Now?" Lan Bai glanced at the time. It was almost five o'clock and it was getting dark.
"That's right, right now, the hospital hasn't finished work yet. Let's send dad to Huohua first, and he will be buried tomorrow. Anyway, we have already chosen a place for dad's tomb. We just need to send him there, and our Lan family will also It's not as prosperous as before. I believe that if we invite others, they won't be willing to come. Otherwise, everything should be simplified. It will be just a few of our family members to send dad away, and don't call Lan Yanxi, she doesn't deserve to come." Lan. Chen's face was filled with resentment.
Lan Bai's face was stiff. After listening to Lan Chen's words, although he wanted to refute, he did not dare to answer. He could only endure the dissatisfaction in his heart and nodded: "Okay, you make the decision. I haven't been feeling well recently. , you just have to take care of everything."
When Lan Chen saw that his second brother agreed, he was secretly relieved. When he turned to leave, he quickly contacted the hospital and asked that the old man be cremated tonight and buried tomorrow. The hospital was a little surprised, but Lan Chen Chen is the old man's son, and his request is reasonable.
Lan Chen immediately drove to the hospital. Although the Lan family was in decline, there were still some connections. Lan Chen immediately contacted the staff who managed the cremation and sent the old man there immediately.
Lan Yanxi had just taken a shower and dried her hair in the hospital. Ling Mofeng was answering an important call outside the ward. Suddenly, someone from the hospital came over. Ling Mofeng made a gesture to Chu Lie, and Chu Lie quickly walked over and asked: "What's up?"
"It's like this. Mr. Lan Chen came to the hospital just now and said that he would send the old man to be cremated now and buried tomorrow. He felt it was necessary to let Miss Lan know about this matter," the medical staff said.
Chu Lie was startled and immediately turned to look at Ling Mofeng. Ling Mofeng also happened to hang up the phone. Chu Lie quickly told the story. Ling Mofeng's expression sank: "The cause of the old man's death has not been found out yet, so Lan Chen is in such a hurry to bury him? Ha, I must have Someone is scared."
Ling Mofeng turned around and pushed the door open and walked in. Lan Yanxi stood in front of the window with her long hair loose. She had changed out of her large hospital gown and put on a beige dress. She looked even more delicate.
When she heard the sound of opening the door, she immediately turned her head. Ling Mofeng walked up to her with his mobile phone and whispered: "Your third uncle is here. Now he wants to send your grandfather to be cremated. He also said that he will be buried tomorrow. They Feeling guilty."
"What? The cause of grandpa's death hasn't been found out yet. Are they so anxious to deal with the funeral?" When Lan Yanxi heard this, he was shocked and angry, and felt chilled.
"Only those with a guilty conscience will desperately want to cover up all the truth." Ling Mofeng sneered.
"Where is he now? I will never let him take grandpa away now." Lan Yanxi said and walked out.
"Don't go, I'll go." Ling Mofeng reached out and gently held her wrist, and advised her softly: "If you go, you will only quarrel with him and lose your mind. Let me talk to him."
Lan Yanxi closed her eyes tightly in pain. Indeed, when she saw her third uncle, she just wanted to quarrel. She really couldn't calm down and talk to him about anything.
"Okay, you go find him. You can't let him take grandpa away. We can't just let this matter go." Lan Yanxi opened her eyes again and completely trusted this man. If he goes, he will definitely be able to handle it better than himself. better.
"Wait here for me to come back. Don't cry. You've been crying all day." Ling Mofeng wiped the corners of her eyes distressedly.
"Yeah!" Lan Yanxi nodded and agreed to him.
Ling Mofeng turned around and walked out, and Chu Lie and his bodyguard followed immediately.
Lan Chen was waiting to go through various procedures. He was a little anxious, rubbing his hands constantly, urging the staff to go through it quickly.
Suddenly, he saw the office door open, and a young and distinguished figure came in. Some female staff members on the scene were all blushing and heartbeating with excitement. They were at a loss and always secretly looked at Ling Mofeng who came in.
"Uncle Lan, you are so anxious to send Grandpa Lan to be cremated, isn't it because you are afraid that my people will find some evidence?" Ling Mofeng came in and went straight to the topic, without giving Lan Chen any buffer time. .
Lan Chen was originally feeling guilty and uneasy. When he saw Ling Mofeng walking in with a domineering attitude, he made it clear that he was here to question him.
"How is that possible? My father has a bad heart. Everyone knows about it. He just died of illness. What evidence can we find to find out?" Lan Chen immediately stabilized his expression and hummed lightly.
"If you can conclude that the old man passed away due to a recurrence of his illness, then why don't you wait another day and send him away at dawn tomorrow instead of going through the formalities so late." Ling Mofeng's voice suddenly became a little colder.
Lan Chen's face stiffened.
