Floating Island
The "Dream Butterfly" building has been very deserted recently. One reason is the frequent comings and goings of the police, and the other is that the management is trembling in fear when facing the truth.
Guo Yan and Jia Kun had just contacted headquarters to report the recent events. After being scolded by the headquarters manager, they finally said they would help them solve the problem. As for how to solve it, they knew better than anyone that Lin Ran was going to die.
Due to the investigation, Jia Kun suspended all R&E work. At the same time as announcing the suspension of work, he also brought bad news to Li Meng: she was dismissed.
Jia Kun dismissed her from her position on the grounds that she was suspected of having a mental illness. Whenever Li Meng saw him, she would recall the interrogation by Jia Kun and Guo Yan after she had confessed everything to Chen An two days ago. They eagerly asked Li Meng what she had said to Chen An. Of course, she would not be stupid enough to tell them the truth. She only picked out the things that she was dissatisfied with the company and talked about them. With her accusations and uncontrolled emotions, Jia Kun really thought she had a mental illness, and he became much more cautious when talking to her.
Obviously, Jia Kun and Guo Yan didn't know that she already knew the operating rules of "Dream Butterfly". After all, she was always the one hiding behind Tang Xiaoyou.
After suspending business, they were all very idle. Jiang Qiunan took her younger sisters out shopping, while Li Meng stayed in the house and didn't want to go out.
She didn't turn on the lights, sitting on the sofa and emptying her mind, watching the sky outside the window gradually darken. Her cell phone vibrated, and Jia Kun sent a notification in the group that Wang Yingying became the new captain of R&E. Not only that, even Li Meng's position as the lead singer was changing hands.
This news made her clutch her phone tightly. Tang Xiaoyou's death was one thing, but the captain and lead singer she'd worked so hard to secure could easily become someone else. No, just thinking about it gave her a splitting headache. How could this happen? She'd always been in good health, so why had she been experiencing so many issues lately? First came nightmares, then insomnia, and then even mild auditory hallucinations. She kept hearing Luo Fanyin calling out to her in her dreams, telling her she was in pain. She didn't know why Luo Fanyin kept haunting her in her dreams. She clearly hadn't been the one to kill her, so why was she haunting her?
Her head suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a question popped up in her mind: Was it really not her who killed Luo Fanyin?
She remembered that she was the one who gave Tang Xiaoyou the advice.
The person who recalled these things fell to the ground defenselessly. That day in the backstage, she heard Tang Xiaoyou crying softly, and then she walked over to listen to her "troubles". Before leaving, she also gave her some advice on her "troubles".
The person in her mind seemed to be able to see through everything about her and said quietly, "Did you remember?"
Li Meng suddenly hugged herself and buried her head between her knees. She was scared, afraid of retribution.
But a few minutes later, the endless messages in the group interrupted her fear. She saw that everyone in the group was congratulating Wang Yingying. Her eyes suddenly widened, her eyes about to burst, and she stared at the name fiercely.
She began to think that all her visions had started when she moved in.
She stood up and went straight to Wang Yingying's bedroom. She threw the clothes in the closet to the ground with force. Then she saw the white clothes that Wang Yingying never wore among the colorful clothes.
She picked up the white clothes with trembling hands, and they were exactly the same as the ones outside the window.
She roughly searched through other things in the room, but ultimately couldn't find the milk powder Wang Yingying mentioned. So what exactly did she give her to drink every day?
Li Meng figured things out in an instant.
Wang Yingying is the most scheming person. She disguised herself as Xiao Baihua and hid behind Tang Xiaoyou. After Tang Xiaoyou died, she set her sights on her who had just become the captain. She seemed the most innocent but was actually the most terrifying.
Li Meng's blood boiled with rage, and she felt like an emotionally unstable mental patient, because at this moment she actually had the urge to kill Wang Yingying.
She stood there motionless, her temples throbbing, her senses amplified. She could hear footsteps and the sound of a door opening more than ten meters away, until Wang Yingying, humming a tune, walked in completely.
Li Meng walked out of the room. Wang Yingying saw her bloodshot eyes and asked her cautiously, "Sister Meng, what's wrong with you?"
Li Meng remained silent. Wang Yingying brainstormed, guessing that she must be unhappy because of the news in the group chat. "Sister Meng, don't be sad. I will tell Brother Kun not to let you quit R&E."
Innocent, and an innocent look.
She is as good at acting as Tang Xiaoyou, and has deceived many people with this seemingly innocent face.
Li Meng suppressed her anger and asked through gritted teeth, "It's you, isn't it?"
"...What?" Wang Yingying felt that she was in danger and took a step back.
Li Meng took a step forward and said, "My mental state is because of you, right? My captain and lead singer are all because of you, right?"
"Sister Meng, how can you say that?"
Wang Yingying put on a good show, biting her lower lip with tears in her eyes.
"Are you still trying to lie to me? I found a white dress in your room, and you never wear plain clothes." Li Meng pressed on. "What do you give me to drink every night?"
Wang Yingying was silent for a moment, then raised her hand to wipe away her artificial tears. Her expression became impatient, "So what if it's me?"
Li Meng clenched her fists. The man continued, "Do you think you're any better than Tang Xiaoyou? Tang Xiaoyou sold her body to gain Jia Kun's favor, and you and Tang Xiaoyou murdered Luo Fanyin together. What qualifications do you have to quarrel? What qualifications do you have to cry foul? What qualifications do you have to be the captain?"
"How do you know about Luo Fanyin?"
Wang Yingying snorted and laughed. "There are four people in the dormitory at night, and three of them are not there. Where do you think I will appear?"
"So what do you mean now? Do you want to avenge Luo Fanyin?"
"No." Wang Yingying's eyes were full of indifference. "Why should I avenge her? I just want to get what I want."
"Now I have it." She spread her hands and smiled at her provocatively.
Looking at her arrogant face, Li Meng's rational nerve was completely broken, and he picked up a fruit knife and stabbed Wang Yingying.
"Is this what you came up with?" Anber mercilessly complained about his employer.
Lin Ran didn't care much about his ridicule, "If you can come up with another good idea."
"Is this a method that hurts the enemy by a thousand but hurts yourself by eight hundred?"
Lin Ran turned around and smiled at him, "I'm not sure about anything else, but in terms of love, I really hope you'll encounter this situation as well."
Anber rolled his eyes at him.
Lin Ran continued to fiddle with his computer, took off his mask, and prepared to log into his account. Anber leaned beside him with a gloomy expression.
A few minutes later, his live broadcast appeared on the big screens of various shopping malls through screen projection. The person in the video sat upright and said, "Good evening, everyone. I am Lin Ran."
He even had a faint smile on his lips. "Next, I will disclose some of my real experiences. I will formally sue my current company, 'Dream Butterfly', and the huge criminal group behind 'Dream Butterfly'."
"I know this live broadcast won't go smoothly. It'll probably be cut short by someone with ulterior motives. But if you can patiently stop, I'll thank you on behalf of the countless people who have been persecuted by 'Dream Butterfly'."
"In 2016, I stumbled into the 'Dream Butterfly' trainee recruitment trap to make a living..."
Lin Ran's voice was transmitted to all shopping malls in the city through this live broadcast, and his live broadcast was also quickly reposted on the Internet. Anber looked at the man who looked calm but had clenched his hands. He kept an eye on the people within the surveillance range, but in the past few minutes, those who were hiding in the dark had already been ready to move.
"They're coming up," he said.
Lin Ran was even delivering his speech passionately, as if it were his last.
Anber cut off the live broadcast, and the screen went black for a moment. He took Lin Ran's hand and said, "Let's go!"
Their people had already blocked off the entire department store. He dragged Lin Ran down the stairs. The director's room was too high. Halfway down, Lin Ran was already tired. He had no choice but to take everyone to hide in the fire room. There were two sets of clothes in a plastic bag. "Change."
Lin Ran took off his clothes and put on a mask and hat like him.
There were footsteps coming up. Lin Ran looked up and saw that there was not a drop of sweat on his face. He praised him, "Young man, you have great physical strength."
Anber ignored him and waited until the footsteps passed before pulling people to continue walking down.
Halfway through the walk, he suddenly felt something was wrong. The stairwell was too quiet, the entire mall was too quiet. Standing at the corner and looking outside, he couldn't see anyone in the building!
Lin Ran was worried about both himself and him, "What should we do?"
He glanced out the window. It was the tenth floor, too high. Lin Ran would definitely die if he jumped down.
"Call Chen An now," he said.
Lin Ran raised his head, "But..."
"I'll hit you if you ask me to."
The building was cleared out in just a few minutes. It's impossible. Even the police couldn't be so fast, unless their actions had been noticed by someone long ago.
He had good hearing. There were people approaching upstairs and downstairs, but the first floor was empty. In such a big city, no one noticed why they were quiet.
But someone is bound to notice.
Before Lin Ran could finish his call, the police arrived. The sirens outside grew louder in the darkness. He hung up the number Lin Ran had just dialed and said, "I'll hand you over to Chen An."
Lin Ran didn't believe the police and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but was scolded back with a look.
"I told you I'm not good at protecting people, so you can go with him and don't have to give me the money."
"What about you?"
He looked out and said, "I'm going down from here."
Lin Ran glanced at it, the wind was blowing outside the window, "Are you crazy?"
He didn't say anything, but Chen An's voice came from the first floor. Two seconds later, he clearly felt someone coming down from upstairs, pulling Lin Ran to the corner of the corridor and meeting them. Fortunately, they didn't have guns.
As soon as he let go, Lin Ran watched the young man's slender figure fighting with the group of men in black. He moved swiftly, and the dagger on his waist quickly severed the man's throat, splattering blood all over the ground. After he stood still, he said to the stunned people, "Let's go."
He escorted Lin Ran all the way to the sixth floor, found a suitable angle, and was about to jump out the window when someone suddenly grabbed his clothes and said, "I'm going with you."
He was flatly rejected, "No, go find Chen An, he will help you."
After saying that, he opened the window and jumped down without hesitation.
