On the film set.
It's still the same bookstore, still the same old tree, but the people standing under the tree no longer have the same feelings as before.
Yin Lan stood under the tree, staring blankly at the young man in front of her. Her eyes were filled with pain, struggle, and sorrow. Before she could even utter a question, her eyes welled up with tears.
Yin Qi stood quietly at the courtyard gate, holding a box of new books. He seemed to have anticipated something, and the smile on his lips slowly faded.
"sister?"
"Was it you?"
Yin Lan asked in a hoarse voice.
"What?" Yin Qi tilted his head slightly, changing the subject. "Didn't my sister want to reopen the bookstore? So I had someone clean this place thoroughly. Look, these are the books I specially found. Putting them in the store will attract more people!"
"You know that's not what I meant."
Yin Lan's emotions were churning, but she just tried to close her eyes and clear her mind.
"If you don't like it, I can also—"
"Yin Qi!"
As Yin Qi spoke, Yin Lan finally lost control of her anger and interrupted him sharply.
Yin Lan rarely loses her temper. She usually speaks very logically. Even when she is extremely angry, she will only beat people harder. She would never yell at people so loudly and directly unleash all the anger she has suppressed.
Yin Lan's voice startled the birds perched in the trees, and after the birds cried out in panic and fled, the entire courtyard suddenly fell silent.
There was no sound of wind, no birdsong, not even the sound of human breathing.
Yin Qi looked at Yin Lan, his handsome face seemingly wearing a heavy disguise. As usual, he moved his muscles to reveal a smile, but in this environment, it seemed a bit eerie.
Did you kill Lao Wu?
"Did you also kill Zhang Yiyu and his entire family?"
Where have all the pharmaceutical professionals overseas gone?
"What are you doing? Speak!"
As Yin Lan's voice rang out, a hint of sarcasm appeared on Yin Qi's face.
"Sis, what does this have to do with me?"
A gunshot pierced the sky, and then the books in Yin Qi's arms fell to the ground. He was forced to lean back due to being shot in the head and staggered back a few steps.
Yin Lan subconsciously reached out to help, but images of her companions dying flashed through her mind. In the end, she coldly lowered her hand and looked at the person who had been shot with a complicated expression.
However, Yin Qi did not fall down; he regained his footing after taking a few steps back.
Right between his eyebrows was a bullet hole, and bright red blood gushed out from it, instantly staining his eyes and trickling down his face to his chin, dripping down in a steady stream.
He was originally a sunny and cheerful young man, but when he put on blood-red eyes, his aura suddenly changed.
He smirked and looked at Wuwu and Evan running towards him.
Wu Wu stepped in front of Yin Lan and said in a serious tone, "Yin Lan, don't be fooled by him! He is the leader of that organization! The people who are chasing us have always been his subordinates! He wants to live forever!"
Evan, gun raised, warily watched Yin Qi: "Yin Lan, we'd better get out of here quickly! This guy has been lurking among us for so long, it's not safe here anymore! He'll definitely try to wipe us all out!"
Yin Lan didn't speak, but stared at the blood-soaked youth, her eyes filled with a myriad of thoughts.
