After Gu Mingyan asked, the man sitting in the passenger seat replied solemnly: "I'm sorry, Miss Gu, the commander didn't tell us what he wanted to investigate specifically. The order we received was only to send you back to Li's house, and the rest Don’t know anything.”
For this reason, Gu Mingyan knew that there was nothing he could ask.
If she wanted to find out what Li Yunzheng was looking for, she could only wait until he came back and ask in person.
In the haunted house, the man pretending to be Li Yunzheng hugged her and stuffed her with flowers. It was definitely not a coincidence.
Who is that man?
Why are you targeting her?
Judging from Li Yunzheng's appearance, he should know the man who sent the flowers.
Otherwise, his expression wouldn't be so angry.
If Li Yunzheng knew that man, why didn't the man come to Li Yunzheng directly instead of her? What kind of flowers did he give her?
In Gu Mingyan's guess, the car arrived at Li's house.
Gu Mingyan thanked him and led his brother into the house.
After dinner in the evening, her brother didn't even play games, he just wanted to go to bed.
Zhang's mother was surprised: "It's just before nine o'clock, why do you have to go to bed so early today?"
Gu Mingyan knew what her brother was thinking, "He wants to go to bed early and get up early tomorrow to go to the hospital to see my mother."
Zhang's mother knew Jiang Shuhui. This woman had been waiting at the gate of Gu Mingyang's school every day for a week, delivering breakfast in the morning and soup in the afternoon.
After hearing the driver Lao Huang say that she was Gu Mingyan's mother, Zhang's mother was quite happy, thinking that they could reunite as a family.
Later, the housekeeper told her privately that Jiang Shuhui had abandoned the two brothers and sisters. When Gu Mingyan's father called her during the funeral, she was so cruel that she did not come back.
So Zhang Ma no longer had a good impression of this woman.
I was willing to leave my child behind, but now I have the nerve to come back.
"Who knows." Gu Mingyan smiled and propped her chin up. "She said she wanted to compensate me and my brother. I didn't believe it. She had already done it long ago. How could she wait until now. But she did it for me this afternoon. My brother got into a fight with someone and ended up in the hospital with a bloody head, which was beyond my expectation."
Zhang’s mother was stunned: “Is that okay?”
"It's okay. I had an incision on my forehead and a few stitches. The doctor said I should stay in the hospital for observation for two days."
"When will you go there tomorrow? I'll make some soup and you can take it with you when you go to the hospital."
Gu Mingyan declined: "No need to bother, the hospital cafeteria has everything."
"After all, she is your mother, and she is admitted to the hospital because of Mingyang's injuries in a fight. I'll make some soup and get some food to bring over. It won't be a bother."
Zhang Ma insisted on sending it, but Gu Mingyan had no choice but to nod.
"but……"
Gu Mingyan looked over with a smile: "What do you want to say?"
Zhang Ma sighed: "I won't say it anymore, I'm afraid you'll be unhappy if I say it."
"It's okay, you can say whatever you want and I'll listen."
"It's like this. I think your mother is absolutely not good at all, but the fact that she can fight tooth and nail for your brother proves that she still has you and your brother in her heart."
Zhang's mother patted her hand, "You've been in a bad mood these days, probably because of your mother's affairs. I don't want to advise you to let go of your worries. I just want you and your brother to be happy. Maybe you can try to accept your mother. If she changes her ways, your brother will have a family member to love him. If she is just pretending, she may show her true colors once she sees that you are soft-hearted and accept her."
Gu Mingyan fell silent.
Jiang Shuhui suddenly came back and showed her kindness, she must be doing something.
Instead of passively waiting for her to make a move, it is better to actively jump into her "trap".
Gu Mingyan smiled, not wanting to offend Zhang Ma. She knew that Zhang Ma sincerely thought about her and her brother.
She nodded and said, "Okay, I will seriously consider what you say."
**
At ten o'clock in the evening, Gu Mingyan lay on the bed after taking a shower.
When closing the door, I thought that Li Yunzheng might be coming, so I left the door unlocked and waited for him to come.
This was the first time in two lifetimes that she actively waited for him to come to her.
But after waiting and waiting until 11:30 in the morning, he didn't show up.
After another half hour, Gu Mingyan couldn't wait any longer and decided to give him a call.
She got up, unplugged her charging phone, and dialed Li Yunzheng's number.
The phone rang, but there was no answer.
She hangs up.
Thinking that it was so late, he might be taking a shower, so she waited another ten minutes before calling again.
He still didn't answer.
Gu Mingyan hung up the phone.
This was also the first time in his life that he didn't answer her call.
After pondering for a moment, I sent him a message.
Send the message and he will probably reply after seeing it.
Gu Mingyan didn't care about anything and fell asleep.
**
The night was dark, and Li Yunzheng was sitting quietly on the sofa in the living room of the apartment.
The mobile phone placed on the coffee table rang twice, both times it was from Gu Mingyan.
Looking at the screen flashing her name, he twitched the corner of his mouth.
It's really strange that she would take the initiative to call him.
She used to avoid him. When he called her, she would answer or not depending on her mood.
Li Yunzheng let his phone flash in the dark. He had no call to answer.
When he didn't answer, she gave up.
But she sent him a message, the content of which was very simple: [After seeing the message, call me back. I want to ask about what happened in the haunted house during the day]
Li Yunzheng knew that she wanted to ask who the man pretending to be him was and what the gardenia meant.
But he couldn't tell her.
After sitting quietly in the dark living room for a few minutes, he got up and went to the master bedroom. He went straight to the dressing room and stood in front of the island in the middle where watches, ties and accessories were placed.
Open the drawer and press the button hidden inside the drawer.
The tightly closed closet door suddenly opened, and a dark room appeared.
Li Yunzheng walked into the small dark room. The sides of the wall were filled with guns, ammunition and various small weapons. There was a small desk against the wall with several thick notebooks placed on it.
On every notebook, there is a number.
14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22.
He entered the Li family when he was 13 years old and stayed in the Li family for two months before his 14th birthday.
From the age of 14, he started keeping a diary.
I continued writing until I was 22, and stopped for a year when I was 19.
Next to the diary placed, there are three gardenias made into dried flowers.
The white gardenia flowers are sprinkled with red marks.
That was Mrs. Li's blood.
On the day of Mrs. Li's funeral, he dried all the gardenias he had received from her. After putting them away, he went to those people alone and asked them to pay for Mrs. Li's death.
Before Mrs. Li died that year, she also received gardenias.
Whenever they lock onto a target, three gardenias are given away.
The first one is notification.
Notify the target person that they are targeting you.
The second flower is waiting.
This tortures the target person's heart.
The third flower is the time of death.
When they send the third flower, it means that the target may die at any time within three days.
And now, Gu Mingyan received the first flower.
This is not a coincidence or a misunderstanding.
Why Li Yunzheng is so sure is because he invented this "hunting game" back then.
What state of mind should he use to tell Gu Mingyan the truth?
Tell her, have you been targeted by a group of extremely vicious people and become their prey?
No, he would not tell her the cruel truth.
In the dark room, he sat quietly in a single chair, his eyes as dark as ink flashed with sarcasm, self-deprecation, and a cold and cruelty that gradually emerged.
He was able to kill all the people who killed Mrs. Li 8 years ago.
After 8 years, he can also be a thug for Gu Mingyan.
