Wen Jingyi stood still in the old corridor, with the key pointed at the door lock, but she did not move.

She was half hesitant and half surprised.

Not many people have the keys to the old house, and their adoptive parents died early, so they only have one adopted daughter. After all these years, they have no relatives left.

Who could be in there?

Or...

What happened back then is finally coming to light!

The death of her adoptive parents was strange. They had no enemies, yet they died suddenly. Even the police have not found the real murderer for many years. If the person inside is related to the person who killed her adoptive parents, Wen Jingyi will never allow herself to miss it.

If she missed this opportunity, she would never forgive herself in her life!

Wen Jingyi's eyes became firm, and the blood in her body rushed back. She suddenly opened the door and looked at the empty room warily.

No one?

She took two steps closer and became even more confused after seeing the furnishings in the room.

After so many years, the house is still spotless and everything is still in the same style as before, but there are obvious signs of additions and repairs to the items, and there are even half-eaten snacks.

Someone occupied the house?

Suddenly, there were light footsteps behind her. Wen Jingyi turned around abruptly and met the eyes of the person who came out of the kitchen with a bowl of rice. They looked at each other in surprise.

Then it turned into surprise, "Zhou Jingrui?"

This is the neighbor brother who always thought about her little tomato!

Now he has grown into a young man of about 1.8 meters tall, with a tall stature and clear eyebrows. His face, which had been delicate and handsome since childhood, has now grown into a handsome young man.

But his face was a little pale, and the look he gave Wen Jingyi was very unfamiliar.

"Don't you recognize me?"

Wen Jingyi took a step forward and said in surprise: "I am——"

"ah!"

Zhou Jingrui suddenly took a step forward, his expression turned fierce in an instant, and he easily clamped Wen Jingyi behind his back with one hand. With a sullen face and without saying a word, he dragged her to the bathroom and tied her tightly to a chair.

"What do you mean?" Wen Jingyi was terrified, her mind flashing with lightning. She didn't understand why he suddenly attacked her. "Zhou Jingrui? You don't even recognize me. I'm Jingyi. Why are you in my house?"

"Jing, Jingyi..."

Zhou Jingrui finally spoke, his first words of the day. His voice was hoarse, and it was obvious that he hadn't spoken in a long time. "It's you. Why did you come back? It's you who killed them!"

His expression instantly became ferocious, and he slammed closer to Wen Jingyi, no longer looking like the familiar face he had when he was a child.

Wen Jingyi was completely confused.

Then he suddenly realized what was happening, not caring about being tied up for no apparent reason, and hurriedly asked, "Who did you say killed them? Don't you know anything?"

"Zhou Jingrui, you know right? I haven't heard from you in all these years. Have you been living here alone?"

Back then, the adoptive parents treated all the children around them very kindly, so it wasn't surprising that Zhou Jingrui got the key to their house.

But no matter how Wen Jingyi asked, Zhou Jingrui's reaction became more and more confusing.

He seemed not to recognize Wen Jingyi, and only said viciously: "It's all your fault, they died...it's all because of you."

Wen Jingyi slowly calmed down and gathered herself. With her hands behind her back, she secretly typed on her phone while steadying Zhou Jingrui: "Who did you say killed them? Do you know anything? Just tell me and I can help you find out."

"You also want to help them get revenge, right?"

Sure enough, Wen Jingyi's gentle coaxing voice gradually calmed Zhou Jingrui's paranoid expression, but he still muttered to himself: "There is someone, you brought them here, it's all your fault..."

people?

Wen Jingyi remained expressionless, but she was thinking silently in her heart: "So, you tied me up now because you think I killed my parents, and they were killed because someone wanted to kill them?"

"Is that right?" Wen Jingyi's heart sank.

She has been thinking about it for so many years and still can't figure it out. Could it be that Zhou Jingrui knows something?

At this moment, there was a faint vibration from the cell phone. Wen Jingyi suddenly shut her mouth and stopped asking questions. Instead, she held the phone tightly and stared at the direction of the door.

The next moment, the door was suddenly broken open. The person outside had not arrived yet, but his cold and intimidating aura was enough to daunt people.

Mo Yunfan took a few steps forward and saw the restrained Wen Jingyi. His expression darkened immediately. He easily pinned Zhou Jingrui to the ground and handed him to the bodyguards he had brought with him. He then quickly rushed to Wen Jingyi's side to comfort her, "How are you? Did he hurt you? I'm late."

Wen Jingyi's tense mind suddenly relaxed, her legs softened, and she almost fell to the ground. Her hands subconsciously grasped Mo Yunfan's sleeves: "It's not too late... I'm fine."

In fact, Mo Yunfan arrived much faster than Wen Jingyi had imagined.

Thanks to the fact that the two had contacted each other not long ago, he was the first one on Wen Jingyi's contact list. At that time, Wen Jingyi could only type blindly, so she simply called Mo Yunfan secretly. After letting him hear a conversation between herself and Zhou Jingrui, he really understood.

It's only been less than ten minutes, and he's already here...

Wen Jingyi looked at Mo Yunfan, who had come in a hurry, with a few strands of his neatly-knit black hair falling on his cold forehead, and her heart suddenly felt warm.

He smiled at Mo Yunfan again and said gratefully, "Thanks to you, otherwise I might——"

"Don't talk nonsense."

This was the first time he had a cold expression in front of Wen Jingyi. His tone was stiff, and his slightly trembling fingertips revealed his unstable mood: "You will be fine. This person will disappear from your sight soon."

He turned around and looked at Zhou Jingrui who was pinned to the ground. After exchanging glances with Zhou Jingrui, a look of surprise flashed across his cold face.

"It's you!"

Zhou Jingrui seemed to have improved all of a sudden. He no longer acted crazy in front of Wen Jingyi. When he saw Mo Yunfan, his pupils suddenly shrank and he looked very scared: "I've seen you--"

“Mmmmm!”

Zhou Jingrui couldn't say the rest of the words because the bodyguard had already covered his mouth with great tact. Wen Jingyi didn't notice the clarity that flashed across Zhou Jingrui's eyes.

She glanced at Zhou Jingrui sympathetically and said to Mo Yunfan, "Thank you very much, but he seems mentally unstable. I... I knew him when I was a child. Is it okay if I don't want to call the police?"

"Okay," Mo Yunfan looked at Zhou Jingrui deeply and said, "Since he's in a bad mental state, send him to a mental hospital and find someone to take care of him. You can't believe everything he says."

"I know that."

Wen Jingyi didn't plan to talk too much about her family affairs with Mo Yunfan. After looking at Zhou Jingrui with mixed feelings, she thought about how to change the subject.

Before she could speak, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Since it was Shen Zekai who pushed the door open with an anxious look, he actually looked a little embarrassed: “Jingyi! How are you.”

He suddenly met Wen Jingyi's gaze, his expression suddenly froze, and then he hurriedly changed his words, his footsteps abruptly stopping outside the door: "Sister-in-law... I heard that you were kidnapped, so Mengqiu and I came to see you."
