Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 542
Chapter 542 Sends them out the door
Lan Zufeng had a bad premonition in his heart, and almost stayed awake all night. As he tossed and turned he thought: even by morning, he wouldn’t be able to get any results out of Mr. and Mrs. Lan Xiuhe’s mouths.
His suspicions proved to be correct.
It was obvious that Lan Xiuhe and Lin Peizhi had also been up all night, looking haggard and tired.
Lin Peizhi’s back looked a little stooped, and her elegant noblewoman temperament was gone; Lan Xiuhe’s temples were all gray, and his eyes were dull. They still kept their mouths shut, like two mutes.
Lan Zufeng waited patiently for half a day, knowing that it was hopeless, sighed, and took the lead down the stairs, the servants escorted Lan Xiuhe and his wife behind them, Gu Nianbin and Lu Xiaoxian silently following on the side.
When they appeared in the restaurant, everyone stood up but none of them dared to make a sound because the atmosphere was just too heavy, Lan Zufeng silently sat down and raised his eyes to look at Lan Xiu and Lin Peizhi, his voice was slow and low, “Let’s eat breakfast before we leave.”
No head of a sentence, so that the crowd is puzzled, are surprised to look at Lin Peizhi and Lan Xiuhe, yesterday also bright and energetic two people at the moment expressionless, eyes lifeless, haggard like a night old ten years.
Hearing Lan Zufeng’s words, the couple both sat down and silently lowered their heads to eat their breakfast.
Lan Qin’er finally couldn’t help herself and asked Lin Peizhi, “Great Auntie, where are you and Great Uncle going?”
Alenda snuck under the table and tugged on her shirt, signaling her to keep quiet.
Lin Peizhi didn’t even hear it, staring blankly at the clear porridge in the bowl, and didn’t answer. Lan Qin’er didn’t dare to ask further, she knew that something big must have happened at home, or else the always arrogant Lan Xiuhe and Lin Peizhi wouldn’t look like this.
After a while, Uncle Hua walked in and whispered a few words in Lan Zufeng’s ear.
Lan Zufeng nodded, his gaze circling around the faces of Lan Xiuhe and his wife, “You guys, are you still adamant about keeping silent?”
Lan Xiuhe put down the spoon in his hand, lowered his head and said, “I’m done eating.”
Lin Peizhi glanced at him and also put down her fork, sitting silently.
Lan Zufeng sighed and said to Uncle Hua, “Send them out the door.”
Uncle Hua responded with a soft, inaudible sigh and silently followed Lan Xiu and the couple.
When Lan Zufeng sat and didn’t move, everyone didn’t dare to move. But they all stopped and sat quietly.
Looking at the gradually fading away the figure of his eldest son, Lan Zufeng’s eyes finally revealed a trace of sadness, this go, Lan Xiuhe may never come back …
He used to feel that the family’s scandal could not be publicized, so no matter who was in trouble, he spent money to settle the matter, and used money to preserve the reputation of his family and himself, and over the years, those adulterous scandals were covered up by him one by one, and perhaps it was because of his harboring them that they became so unbridled and lawless.
In his life, he was strict in discipline, but negligent and indulgent to his children and grandchildren, which eventually led to a big mistake.
This time, if I had not witnessed their despicable and dirty acts, I would have tried my best to cover up the truth as I did before.
Disheartened, he came to a great realization. He was wrong, very wrong! Therefore, he no longer hide, no longer cover up, wrong is wrong, everyone should pay the price for the mistakes they made.
Lan Xiuhe’s figure disappeared in the doorway, Lan Zufeng retracted his gaze, scanned the circle, and slowly spoke, “You must all be curious to know where they are going? This matter, I don’t need to hide it from you, the ones who came to pick them up are police officers, and for the next few days, they will be investigated at the police station until they figure out Kai Ze’s whereabouts.”
Hearing this, everyone’s eyes swept towards Gu Nianbin. Lan Kaize was clearly here, what was going on?
“This person you’re looking at isn’t Lan Kaize, his name is Gu Nianbin and he’s Lu Xiaoxian’s husband. More than a year ago, Mr. and Mrs. Lan Xiuhe replaced Kaize with him, but they refused to disclose Kaize’s whereabouts, so I had to hand them over to the police to let them handle the matter.”
All of them, except for Keli Blue, were jaw-dropped and shocked into disbelief.
Lan Xiuming took a look at Gu Nianbin, and then at Lan Zufeng, with a look that was hard to believe, “Dad, this is clearly Kai Ze, looks exactly the same!”
Lan Qin’er added, “Grandpa, how could Big Brother be Lu Xiaoxian’s husband? A lot has happened since Lu Xiaoxian came to the house, you can’t trust her!”
Alinda, the least courageous, interjected at this point, “Dad, big brother and sister-in-law will suffer if they go to the police station!”
“Having made a mistake, it’s only right to suffer a little,” Lan Zufeng slowly stood up, his expression serious, “All of you listen up, from now on, no matter who it is, if you commit any more crimes and break the law with your body, I’ll also hand you over to the police and dispose of you according to the law, just as I did today. ”
His expression was quite stern, and his sharp gaze swept over everyone’s faces one by one, making people look away. No one dared to raise their heads, all afraid of that chilling gaze. Lan Zufeng paused for a moment and added, “Nian Bin, Xiao Xian, Kai Li, you guys come upstairs with me.”
Those who were named stood up and followed him upstairs, leaving behind people with different expressions: Alenda was terrified, Qiao Yi Yi was surprised, Zeng Hong was shocked, Lan Xiuming was indifferent, and Lan Kaida’s expression was obscure.
It was only when Lanceli got upstairs that he realized the whole thing.
He didn’t realize that he, who had been assumed to be a participant in the incident, had actually been kept in the dark.
It turned out that it was Lan Zufeng who saved Gu Nianbin and Lu Xiaoxian that night.
Although he had been grumbling about Lu Xiaoxian breaking the Yuan Qinghua vase, he was not so much of an old fool. After the incident of the fire in the small warehouse, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was wrong, so he kept his eyes peeled.
That night, during the gunfight in the Rubber Garden, he got the news and assigned his close friends in the garden to save Gu Nianbin and Lu Xiaoxian and leave through a secret passage.
In the melee, Gu Nianbin received a bullet in the calf, but it was not dangerous, and after entering the hospital overnight to remove the bullet, he was sent to a secret place to recuperate, and it was at that time that Gu Nianbin told all the things to Lan Zufeng. I hope to get his help.
Although he was half convinced, he still agreed to Gu Nianbin’s plan, to wait for him to return from his injury, a move to lure the snake out of the hole. That’s why last night’s dinner table, blue Zufeng and Gu Nianbin will seem to casually talk about the things of the past.
Gu Nianbin’s behavior had really alarmed Lin Peizhi and Lan Xiuhe, and they had counted on the fact that the Lan Xiuhe couple would make their move overnight, because only the sooner they did so could they cover up the abnormality that Gu Nianbin was revealing himself to be.
Gu Nianbin felt that instead of looking for a needle in a haystack to find Ubitan, it would be better to open the gap directly from Lan Xiuhe and his wife. But he didn’t expect them to remain silent after their scandalous behavior was exposed.
Blue Kelley heard, breathed a sigh of relief, some complained, “After you guys get out of danger, grandpa should tell me only right, causing me to worry all day long, do what have no heart.”
Gu Nianbin said, “Told you, the play will not be real Well, they panicked, suspicious, inevitably will not reveal the cloven foot, so that we can see more clearly in the dark.”
“How many men entered the garden that night, and whose men were they, and did you find out?”
“Lan Xiuhe’s people, An Yirou’s people, your people, grandpa’s people, that’s probably it.” Gu Nianbin said, “Luckily, grandpa has been protecting us in the dark, otherwise the consequences would really be unimaginable.”
Lan Zufeng listened to them and didn’t interrupt, woodenly lost in thought, Lu Xiaoxian’s heart sank and said softly, “Grandpa, don’t think too much, Lan Kaize will find it.”
Lan Zufeng shook his head, “Ever since Nian Bin told me about this, I already had a bad feeling about it, I know my sons, they don’t say it not because they don’t want to say it, but they can’t say it. Kaiser …” He didn’t go on, just shook his head, looking sad.
“Grandpa, Big Brother, he, will be fine.” Lan Kaili comforted him, “Maybe big brother just doesn’t like life here, so he went far away so we can’t find him.”
Lan Zufeng looked at the blue far-reaching sky outside the window, “Kaiser’s matter, I’ve actually always known, he didn’t like women since he was a child, when there was that kind of seedling, his parents used a strong attitude against him, although I always loved him, I didn’t have too much of an understanding of his inner being, to be honest, I was on the side of his parents at the time, thinking that I needed to set him right, and that he was going to be the heir apparent in the future. He is going to be the heir, how can he not get married? How can he not get married? How can he not have children? In this way, his relationship with his parents is getting worse and worse, people are getting more and more cold and withdrawn, often alone and quiet, to see him like that, I really feel very distressed, know what he wants, but can not give him. Now I figured it out, but it’s already too late!”
“Grandpa, don’t be so pessimistic,” Gu Nianbin said, “Things haven’t come to that yet, where is Kaize, we don’t even know?”
“I called you up here because I want you to hand over those circumstances and evidence you have to the police without reservation, so that they can investigate, and perhaps relying on their means and ways, they can get to the bottom of the matter.”
“I know, Grandpa,” said Lanceli, “I’ll take care of this.”
“Okay, all of you go out, I’m tired and want to rest for a while.”
Lan Kaili wanted to say something else, but Mrs. Gui waved her hand at him, so several people stopped talking and silently left the door.
When he arrived in Gu Nianbin’s room, Lan Kai Li asked him, “Big brother, what are your plans now?”
“It’s better to wait, maybe the police involvement will turn things around.”
“I’m asking when you plan to leave?”
Gu Nianbin laughed and slapped him, “What, you want me to leave after the matter is revealed?”
“It’s just the opposite,” Lan Kaili said, “I’m really worried about Grandpa in this state, and even though you’re not the real Lan Kaiser, you look almost exactly like him, and with you here, Grandpa will feel better.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t leave so early, at least not until the day the whole thing comes out.”
Lan Xiuhe couple looking for outsiders to take the name of their son’s matter publicly, immediately like a storm swept across the whole of Aole, originally the blue family in Aole is one of the few people, this kind of luxury secret is simply incredible, shocked the public, and the blue Xiuhe couple refused to disclose the whereabouts of their son, but also let the public debate, all kinds of speculation all over the place. The streets and alleys, after dinner, almost everyone is talking about this matter.
A monk in dark gray robes sat silently at a street-side tea stand, listening to the people at the neighboring table talking at great length. A large bucket hat covered his face, and only a bit of his pointed chin could be seen, as if he were a young man of clean-cut appearance.
