Chapter 114 When did we become so distant?
He knew his daughter wouldn't give up so easily.
"But when I found out that the person who wanted to kill me back then was also plotting to kill my daughter, I didn't care about anything else."
He set a trap, taking advantage of men's desire for fame and fortune, and tricked him into going overseas.
I found an opportunity and killed him.
"Fortunately, I knew all along that we would eventually reach the point of no return, so I made ample preparations over the years. I tried my best to become him, and finally one day, I completely replaced him."
The man gave Lin Qingran a meaningful look. "I never wanted to be a burden to my daughter, but my reunion with her was not an accident."
The man took out a document and handed it to Lin Qingran.
"Alright, my story is over, you can go now."
Lin Qingran wiped away her tears and left Shen Pei'an's office.
The assistant gently pushed open the door and came in. He saw the man sitting on the sofa lighting a cigarette.
Dusk had fallen, and the setting sun shone on him.
It should have been a very warm and cozy scene, but it inexplicably made people feel a little desolate.
The assistant stepped forward and lowered his head.
"Mr. Shen, many people heard what Miss Jiang said downstairs today. Now there are rumors that Miss Jiang and Miss Lin are the same person."
Shen Pei'an laughed, "So what? In any case, her marriage with Fu Xiuheng has been dissolved. As for now, I'm more concerned about the relationship between Fu Xiuheng and Lin Yuyan."
I heard that the two of them haven't seen each other for a long time.
"Nine Songs, Nine Songs?"
Lin Qingran snapped out of her daze and met Bo Ye's gaze.
"what happened?"
"We're here."
Lin Qingran then realized that they had arrived at the hotel parking lot; she hadn't come to her senses the whole time.
Bo Ye looked at Lin Qingran with concern and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"do not Cry."
Lin Qingran had been looking lost and dejected ever since she left the Lin Group.
Although Lin Qingran did not tell Bo Ye what happened inside, Bo Ye could guess the general idea.
The current Shen Pei'an is no longer the same person he used to be.
He was Lin Beicheng, who was replaced and appeared in his place with his name and appearance.
For a moment, I felt a pang of emotion. Everyone had said that Lin Beichen was dead, and even Zhou Lan, his so-called lover, firmly believed it. But he was still alive, and he appeared in such an unexpected way.
Thinking about it now, although it seems very fantastical, it doesn't seem strange at all.
After all, Shen Pei'an has caused Lin Qingran a lot of trouble recently, but it hasn't really been a serious problem.
Even though the factory in Nancheng lost tens of millions, the sudden arrival of Zhang Yihong and Fu Jingnian made up for those losses several times or even more than ten times.
The two went upstairs and looked at each other in silence.
After a long period of stunned silence, Lin Qingran finally opened the document she had brought back.
After reading a few pages, Lin Qingran's anxious heart gradually calmed down.
“It’s Aunt Liu,” Lin Qingran said.
"The person who was bribed by the real Shen Pei'an and tried to kill me was Aunt Liu."
That day, Shen Qiyan came to find me in a madman's rage and threw a huge tantrum.
When the police arrived, they conducted an investigation on him at the scene, and Lin Qingran listened in for a few minutes.
Shen Qiyan seemed to have lost his mind, speaking incoherently, but Lin Qingran still managed to extract the key information.
When Shen Qiyan went to see Shen Pei'an, he heard him say some things that were completely unexpected. Zhao Quanying was also present at the time.
Shen Qiyan probably suspected something, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he went to Lin Qingran to vent his frustrations.
From that moment on, Lin Qingran thought that since Zhao Quanying was someone who had been bribed by Shen Pei'an, then his actions must have been instigated by Shen Pei'an behind the scenes.
The threatening text messages that were sent were combined to form the sentence "Beware of Zhou Lan," which is irrefutable evidence.
Under these circumstances, Zhao Quanying could not possibly be the one who plotted against him.
Even though all the evidence found before pointed to Zhao Quanying, it now seems that Zhao Quanying was also a link in the chain of manipulation by the person behind the scenes.
Only now has Lin Qingran finally understood the reason behind it.
Aunt Liu was the traitor who hid the deepest secret.
Perhaps even Zhou Lan herself didn't know that the two people closest to her were, respectively, bribed by the real Shen Pei'an and Lin Beichen, who had taken Shen Pei'an's place.
The two men who had once played a significant and memorable role in her life turned out to be plotting against her in the end.
“Zhou Lan’s life can be considered legendary,” Lin Qingran said.
"She has painstakingly built her business, always wanting to acquire the Lin Group, but so far, it seems she has been working for someone else's benefit. Don't you think she knows that herself?"
Susukino was silent for a moment before speaking.
"But my biggest doubt is whether Zhou Lan has realized that Shen Pei'an is no longer here. Although she dislikes Shen Pei'an, the two of them are both evenly matched rivals and the closest partners. Moreover, they have shared a bed for decades. Wouldn't she have noticed?"
"Unless she has lost her mind, the only other way is that she guessed it but dared not admit it."
Lin Qingran turned her head and looked at Bo Ye indifferently.
"If there is someone with whom I once loved passionately, but in the end I indirectly caused his death for my own selfish reasons, or even acquiesced to his death, and one day I suddenly find that he seems to have come back, I will force myself not to think that way."
After all, the idea of someone dying and coming back to life, except in fictional works, is usually categorized as a ghost story.
"However, it seems that Zhou Lan's restlessness over the past two years is not without reason."
“Me too,” Susukino chimed in.
"His desire to deal with Fu Rongrong and the others is definitely not just because of your return, but also to cover up some truths. When she decided to kill Fu Rongrong, she didn't even think about you, because at that time, she probably really thought you were dead."
Lin Qingran sneered, her face showing a mocking expression.
"In that case, it is indeed time to meet with certain people."
However, to Lin Qingran's surprise, Su Mian arrived before she could even make a move.
Lin Qingran and Bo Ye had dinner downstairs at the hotel. When they went upstairs, they ran into Su Mian standing outside Lin Qingran's room, lingering.
His face showed a conflicted expression, and he couldn't hide his guilt.
He kept going in circles, unable to muster the courage to knock on the door.
"When did things become so distant between you and me?" Lin Qingran said jokingly, arms crossed.
