In a dream.
It felt like I was back in high school that afternoon, from the chance encounter on the playground, to the warm atmosphere in the library, to the kiss under the sycamore tree after school, everything was so beautiful.
And young love is like the wind in June, passionate but warm.
His love was never concealed, and his eyes were like the vast starry sky, reflecting her shadow all the time.
He would often look at her clumsily shooting the basketball with a gentle smile and a smile in his eyes, and then pat her head as soon as she hit the basket and compliment her on how good she was.
Later, the stepmother's daughter also fell in love with the boy, and together with the family, they used her mother's safety to force her to leave...
However, the next second, the dream brought Tan Wan into the court.
The boy's father was sitting in the dock, and she was sitting opposite him.
In the solemn court, she showed no expression as she stood up and swore: "I will strictly enforce the law, handle cases impartially, and safeguard the dignity and authority of the law. I solemnly swear to the court that I will not interfere with personal interests or private feelings, and will strive to pursue justice." justice......"
During the three-hour court trial, every piece of evidence she provided pointed to the guilt of the teenage father, and every statement she made pushed the result further into the abyss.
She didn't dare to look into the boy's eyes the whole time, until the judge's hammer came down, and the final word was that the boy's father was found guilty of intentional homicide and executed immediately.
There was no smile on the boy's face that day, and she successfully made him hate her.
But instead of being with his stepmother's daughter, the young man returned to himself to exact revenge on himself.
He said that he wanted her to accompany her to get wet.
Dreaming of this, Tan Wan suddenly woke up from the nightmare.
It was already dawn, but her heart was still beating fast, and the pain in her neck and back was telling her that she lay down at her workstation and slept all night.
These two days were weekends, and although it was already broad daylight, only a few people from the police station came to work.
The police officers on duty last night had gone off duty and were replaced by a group of police officers who were on duty in the morning.
They were surprised when they saw Team Tan come out of the office: "Why did Team Tan come so early?"
The unusual behavior has attracted the attention of others, and Tanwan also realizes that living in the police station is not a long-term move.
She checked out of the hotel room and then drove home with her luggage.
When passing by the guard, Tan Wan saw the guard who mistakenly let Tan Xue into the community that night.
"Good morning, Miss Tan~" the guard greeted Tan Wan warmly.
Tanwan didn't respond, just glanced at him and continued to drive into the community.
The glass and door locks of the house were already installed. She unlocked the door and went in.
Since she is busy at work and often away from home, she doesn't have many personal belongings. She quickly packs her things and then turns on the vacuum cleaner to start cleaning.
After cleaning the room spotlessly, Tanwan sent a message to the owner of the house: Cousin, thank you for staying with me during this time. I will move in with Beiya later.
After sending it, she wanted to call Li Jue, but found that she did not have his phone number.
After thinking about it, he returned to the guard room.
Tanwan knocked on the glass window of the guard room and said to the guard: "Give me Mr. Li's phone number."
The guard was stunned for a moment, then he did as he was told and gave Tan Wan a series of numbers.
After entering the phone number, he dialed. Within a few seconds, the other end of the phone answered and Li Jue's cold and deep voice came: "What's the matter?"
"It's me." Tan Wan said bluntly without any hesitation, "Give me your home address."
The other party was silent for five seconds, and then said, "I'll send you a text message." After that, he hung up the phone.
It didn't take long for the text message to arrive. Tanwan entered the address into the navigation and drove towards the destination.
The house is located deep in a hidden bamboo forest path. Compared with the urban area where Tan Wan lives, this place is very remote.
There are vast bamboo forests on both sides of the road, and there are not even street lights on the roadside.
The car drove slowly on this road, the tires making a rustling sound as they pressed against the dead leaves.
She drove very slowly, familiarizing herself with the surrounding environment as she drove. This bamboo forest gave people a weird atmosphere during the day. Tan Wan could not imagine how scary it would be when it was dark here at night.
How could Li Jue live in such a deep mountain and old forest? What on earth was he thinking? ?
The car finally stopped in front of a manor. The end of the road was the gate of the manor, and there was no other road in sight.
Tanwan checked the navigation and thought, I didn’t drive the wrong way?
She got out of the car and looked around the terrain. As soon as she got off the car, she heard the door of the manor opening from the inside.
A neatly dressed butler came out to greet you with a smile: "You are Miss Tan. Mr. Li asked me to wait for you here~"
Tan Wan was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time. She took a step back and looked up at the manor again.
This is... Li Jue's home? ? ?
After the car parked, the housekeeper took the luggage from Tan Wan and said, "Miss Tan, Mr. Li is still at school and has not come back. Please ask me to take you to the bedroom."
Oh, yes, Han Beiya seemed to have said that Li Jue seemed to be some kind of professor now.
The housekeeper led the way, and Tan Wan followed behind, looking around as he walked.
There is a small garden at the back door with a gravel path on the ground and a small European-style pavilion next to it. The pavilion is full of flowers.
The steward, surnamed Yang, is responsible for the management of the manor and the maintenance of the gardens.
The environment inside the manor is very complex, with many rooms and many large and small corner stairs.
Tan Wan followed behind and walked blindly. He couldn't remember the way he came and was dizzy: "Steward Yang, how big is this house?"
Butler Yang replied: "If Miss Tan talks about it, it's probably about 1,280 square meters."
Later we talked late and found out that the 1280 that Butler Yang mentioned did not include the yard and garden, but these were the properties of Li Jue's maternal grandmother. After her grandmother passed away, they were left to Li Jue's mother, and now they are in Li Jue's hands.
The manor has three floors in total. The first and second floors are the banquet hall, kitchen, storage room and servants' room, and the third floor is the master's room.
Tan Wan stood at the door of the bedroom and did not dare to go in. She glanced inside twice, and then asked Butler Yang tactfully: "Excuse me, Li Jue, he... I want to ask... uh, him. ....Would you like to sleep in this room too?"
Butler Yang shook his head and pointed not far away: "No, Mr. Li's room is the last one at the end of the corridor."
Until the afternoon, Butler Yang showed great welcome to Tan Wan and worked very hard, making Tan Wan even more elusive about Li Jue's intentions.
A huge manor, with a butler on call, looking at everything around him, Tan Wan thought to himself.
That man probably didn't want to show off his wealth in front of him, use his poverty to show off his wealth, and then use this to get revenge on himself, right? ?
