Fang Lan was carried down the mountain by Fang Si, who seemed to be carrying a lost treasure that had been found again, and remained silent the whole way.

Fang Lan finally got a clear look at the villa. It seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time, and the exterior was mottled. There were no vegetable gardens outside the villa.

Fang Lan withdrew her gaze and leaned against Fang Si's back. Everything was just Xu Chaosheng's imagination.

Despite thinking this, tears streamed uncontrollably down Fang Lan's face.

Fang Si felt Fang Lan's body trembling and felt guilty.

He didn't know what Fang Lan had been through these past few days, and he didn't dare to ask, for fear of upsetting Fang Lan's sensitive nerves.

Fang Si regretted breaking down the door and seeing the scene; it was the first time he had ever seen his younger brother cry like that.

A week ago, he used a trick to let Xu Chaomu's men kidnap Fang Lan, but then Xu Chaosheng appeared as an unexpected incident.

The other party sent him a video showing Fang Lan unharmed, along with a record of the Xu family's crimes over the years. They even provided him with a list of spies who had infiltrated the country, and while the Xu family weren't spies themselves, they were far more egregious than spies.

The Xu family made their first fortune by selling state secrets. At that time, the country was facing difficulties and was in dire straits. The Xu family was the mastermind behind this bloodshed.

They are now gradually gaining control of public opinion, distorting facts, and twisting the truth to achieve their own unspeakable secrets.

Going further back, their great-grandfather was a traitor who advised the Japanese and conducted extensive human experiments in China, resulting in the deaths of many Chinese people.

Their great-grandfather hid so well that if it weren't for Xu Chaosheng's list, they would never have known that Xu Shan, the great philanthropist during the war, was actually a treacherous ghost in human skin.

Further tracing back, it was discovered that the Xu family had intermarried with the extinct You people, who were intelligent, cunning, ungrateful, and rotten to the core.

Most of the Xu family members have perfectly inherited this gene.

As expected, Mo Jiang, the mayor of X City in Yang Province, was also on Xu Chaosheng's list. It turned out that the other party was a spy sent by Japan and foreign countries. They had the Xu family's secrets and were trying to negotiate with them.

The moment Fang Si received the information, he asked Xu Chaosheng what his purpose was in revealing it. However, Xu Chaosheng only told him to deal with it first. He said he would not hand over Fang Lan until the matter was resolved, and the Fang family would never know where he had hidden Fang Lan.

Just as Xu Chaosheng had said, they had no idea where Xu Chaosheng had taken the person. Fang Si could only send all the information to Fang Guowei.

Fang Guowei launched a swift and decisive operation, purging the entire Yang Province and Nan Province. Just yesterday, the news broadcast a list of spies and traitors, causing a nationwide uproar.

That popular international superstar was actually a spy spreading divisive rhetoric;

A famous CCTV host was a spy who had been undercover for 20 years.

The Xu family business was actually a joint venture between traitors and spies, so it was unclean from the root.

Liang Tan, the founder of Liang's Enterprises, also collaborated with the Xu family for profit and has now been sentenced to death.

...

Unfortunately, Mayor Mo Jiang and Xu Chaomu of City X fled the country immediately. Fang Guowei guessed that they were very likely in a no-man's-land, so the Blue Country issued an international arrest warrant for the two.

Just yesterday, after the list was released, Xu Chaosheng sent Fang Lan's location to Fang Si. The address was actually on a big mountain in Yang Province, only 50 kilometers away from Linjia Village!

Fang Si rushed over without stopping. He didn't understand Xu Chaosheng's purpose in doing all this, and why he had to expose everything himself.

If you're going to self-destruct, why did you have to take Fang Lan with you?

Why wait until everything has settled down before telling them where Fang Lan is?

Before he arrived, he had imagined many scenarios, even guessing that Xu Chaosheng wanted to use Fang Lan to help him escape his crime, but he never thought that it would be the scene of Fang Lan crying in Xu Chaosheng's arms. This scene had a great impact on him.

When he went to check, he found that Xu Chaosheng was already dead, while Fang Lan was crying uncontrollably. He hugged Fang Lan tightly, "Don't be afraid, brother will take you home."

I'm sorry, little brother.

He seemed to know why Xu Chaosheng did all this. This kid had really fallen in love with his younger brother and probably knew how long he was going to die, wanting to be with Fang Lan in the last period of his life.

For Fang Lan's future safety, he directly exposed all of the Xu family's secrets, bringing many corrupt officials to justice and making the Fang family even stronger.

Anyway, he's about to die, and the future glory of the Xu family has nothing to do with him.

Fang Si gritted his teeth. He had really played his cards well. His foolish younger brother would probably never forget the man who died in front of him.

However, as Fang Lan's brother, he couldn't bear to ask Fang Lan what had happened, because it was he who had pushed his younger brother to Xu Chaosheng's place.

The group came in a great hurry and returned in a grand procession.

By the time they boarded the helicopter, Fang Lan had already fallen asleep on Fang Si's back.

...

When Lin Ruanruan learned that Fang Lan had returned, it was already the next morning. She got up from her guest room and went straight to Fang Lan's courtyard.

That's right. After returning, Lin Ruanruan moved into the Fang residence to wait for Fang Lan. She needed to make sure Fang Lan was safe.

These days she counts the seconds, her mind filled with Fang Lan.

This was only the second friend she had made in two lifetimes, and she really didn't want anything to happen to Fang Lan. She hated herself for being unable to do anything about it.

Several times at night, I almost had a seizure and cut myself, but I managed to hold back at the last moment.

Even if she harms herself, it won't change anything.
