A minute later, Bailong received a call.
"Go to the cemetery immediately."
Although Li Zishen's tone was very concise and he hung up without waiting for a reply, Bai Long still understood the unintended meaning.
Immediately, the order was quickly passed on.
The bodyguards entered a state of emergency, especially the four people deployed behind Meiyuan. After receiving the notice, they immediately put down the canned luncheon meat in their hands, not even daring to take a breath.
…
Small bamboo forest.
Grandma Tang's inscription is very simple. It only states the time of Tang Mei's birth and the fact that the person who erected the monument is her granddaughter Tang Xiaowan. There is nothing else.
Originally, Li Zishen was a little confused.
However, after investigating Grandma Tang's background, living habits, and way of doing things, she roughly understood the reason why Tang Xiaowan did this.
The old man pursues simplicity in everything and does not like excitement.
"Grandma, I'm Xiaowan. I'm sorry that I didn't come to see you for so long. I hope you don't blame me. I'm sorry. I will..."
Tang Xiaowan choked up as she spoke.
At this time, Li Zishen also bowed three times, thanking her for raising Tang Xiaowan.
"Grandma, I'm leaving. I'll see you again tomorrow."
"I will definitely find out the truth."
Li Zishen: "?"
Tang Xiaowan's tone suddenly changed, no longer delicate.
Although there were tears shining in his bright almond eyes, his expression was unusually calm.
After leaving Xiaozhulin, they returned to Meiyuan together and had lunch, but Tang Xiaowan didn't say a word to Li Zishen during the whole process.
My walking speed became very slow, and when I ate, I no longer stuffed my mouth full, but chewed carefully.
This change made Li Zishen very worried.
Until Tang Xiaowan left the restaurant and said: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I won't seek death or survival. I just want to be alone for a while, okay?"
There was a smile on his face and his tone was very calm.
Li Zishen tensed his jaw: "Okay."
…
The master bedroom at the east end of the second floor.
Tang Xiaowan froze as soon as she entered the door.
A man was looking at him steadily, about 30 years old.
"Who are you and how did you get in?"
The sound was neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough for the man to hear, but not for anyone outside.
Tang Xiaowan was unusually calm at this time.
The man nodded with some appreciation.
"Tangtang, you will know my name later, but I hope you will remember it yourself, rather than me telling you or someone else."
When Tang Xiaowan heard this, his eyes widened and he felt that this person was so strange.
But the name Tangtang was only heard a few times in dreams, and it was still a female voice, but now it was called by a strange man.
By some strange mistake, she actually closed the door.
Seeing Tang Xiaowan's reaction, the man put his hands behind his back, slowly approached, and said in a tone that sounded like a reunion after a long absence: "Tangtang, we haven't seen each other for 22 days. How are you in Liyuan?"
Liyuan, 22 days, the time is so precise!
Tang Xiaowan suddenly became interested and said in a longer tone: "Do you know me?"
There was a hint of expectation in his tone.
The corner of the man's mouth raised slightly, and the enthusiasm in his eyes increased sharply: "More than just knowing each other, we just talk about everything. It can also be said that we don't distinguish between each other."
"Best friend?"
"Almost, but a little closer than that."
Tang Xiaowan suddenly thought of Li Zishen.
It’s not like he’s a boyfriend, right?
No, am I mistaken? Men’s routines are exactly the same, nothing new at all!
How can I have two boyfriends on my own?
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaowan couldn't help but look up and down, with a bit of doubt and disdain in her eyes.
The man wore a black suit with the buttons fully unbuttoned and a floral shirt underneath. There was a hint of laziness when he spoke, which was different from Li Zishen's cold and domineering style. He was of the evil and charming type.
"Tangtang, have you started to have a headache recently?"
Hearing the man call her Tangtang again and mentioning a headache, Tang Xiaowan froze and didn't know what to say.
Oh my god, do you even know such a private thing?
He can't really be your boyfriend, right?
The man raised his eyebrows lightly and took a few steps closer.
Under the wide eyelids was a pair of bottomless eyes, which were staring lovingly at Tang Xiaowan. The domineering posture made Tang Xiaowan feel a suffocating pressure.
It seems that Li Zishen is possessed.
So, she couldn't help but take half a step back.
Tang Xiaowan: "You, who are you?"
The man stopped moving forward, his thin lips slightly hooked, "That's not important. What's important is that in this world, I am the only one who can cure your headache."
He spoke very slowly and his voice was extremely gentle.
"Nonsense, I don't have a headache."
The man smiled evilly, imitating Tang Xiaowan's behavior just now, first he lowered his eyes, and then touched his nose with his index finger.
"Tangtang, you really can't change this little habit, but it doesn't matter, it's quite cute."
Tang Xiaowan looked at this strange man in confusion, and couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope reappear.
This question about Tangtang has been bothering Tang Xiaowan for many days, and she has never mentioned it to anyone else, including Li Zishen.
She always mistakenly thought it was just a dream.
"Why do you call me Tangtang? Is it a nickname?"
"Yes, that's your nickname, because when you were little, you often got up in the middle of the night to steal rock candy. The next day, your grandma searched the kitchen for sugar bowls. In the end, she had to use honey to process pig's trotters, so we all called you Tangtang."
Tang Xiaowan smiled directly.
It turns out that I am so cute, and I even steal candy!
But then, a trace of astonishment flashed in her eyes, "You just mentioned us, who else?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, grandma passed away in mid-July, and now only me and..."
The man seemed to have something to say, but suddenly stopped.
Seeing that Tang Xiaowan was still waiting eagerly, she added with a smile, "By the way, I almost forgot, there is also your bodyguard, Cheng Shi. He also likes to call you Tangtang, but only occasionally. That guy is too brave. He is young and is afraid that others will say that he has committed a crime."
"Cheng Shi? My bodyguard, where is he?"
"Want to see him?"
Can you not think about it? Isn’t that nonsense?
Why does this person have so much trouble communicating? It's like squeezing out toothpaste. He asks and answers. He's really anxious!
"Of course I want to, okay?"
"It's possible, but not today. The distance is a bit far and it's too late. Let's try another day. I'll bring him over if I have a chance."
What? After saying it for a long time, I didn’t say anything.
Seeing the displeasure on Tang Xiaowan's face, the man quickly continued: "Actually, tomorrow is not impossible, but it's just a bit urgent. Okay, let's do it tomorrow."
"Really, when?"
"Well, it depends on the situation, I can't say for sure."
"Why?"
"Remember, the fact that I came to you must be kept secret. No one can be told at any time or under any circumstances, especially... Li Zishen."
The man's eyes changed suddenly and his teeth clenched.
Especially when the three words "Li Zishen" were mentioned, all the original gentleness suddenly disappeared with every word, as fierce as a jackal, tiger or leopard.
