Chapter 135 Rebirth

◎In Zhao Chenyang’s previous life, Wei Lan was not dead◎

Zhao Chenyang's brain finally worked for once, and he knew how to use his rebirth advantage. However, he was still the same Zhao Chenyang who loved leisure and hated work and always liked to take shortcuts.

Because he only remembered the plots of those popular novels in his previous life, but he was troubled by the limited ink in his stomach and could not write a lingering love story. So he chose to cooperate with Wei Lan, borrowing Wei Lan's writing style and fame to realize Zhao Chenyang's dream of getting rich.

No! Zhao Xiangwan suddenly realized a problem.

A very, very important question.

The fact that the reborn Zhao Chenyang chose to collaborate with Wei Lan to write a novel reveals two important details.

First, in Zhao Chenyang's previous life, Wei Lan did not die. Not only did she not die, but she also developed well in the following days. As Zhao Chenyang just thought, Wei Lan had literary talent, connections, and money. Therefore, Zhao Chenyang chose to cooperate with Wei Lan instead of other writers.

Second, since Wei Lan did not die in Zhao Chenyang’s previous life, why was her throat cut in this life?

It must be the butterfly effect brought about by Zhao Chenyang's rebirth and cooperation with Wei Lan, which means that Wei Lan's death is related to Zhao Chenyang, and the grudge was caused by Zhao Chenyang's desire to cooperate with her.

Zhao Xiangwan first ruled out the possibility that Zhao Chenyang was the murderer.

Zhao Chenyang was just happily imagining how he would gain fame and fortune after working with Wei Lan. How could she be the murderer when she didn't even know that Wei Lan was dead?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiangwan looked at Zhao Chenyang deeply: You didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of you. It seems that if you want to solve the case, you have to do it.

However, Zhao Chenyang felt that Zhao Xiangwan's eyes were filled with contempt and ridicule, and he jumped up in anger: "Hey, third sister, at least I have helped you a few times, okay? Can you be a little friendlier?" If the secret of his rebirth had not been known by Zhao Xiangwan, why would Zhao Chenyang be so servile in front of her?

Zhao Xiangwan's attitude was rare and he said, "What are you doing back here?"

Without waiting for Zhao Chenyang to speak, Zhao Xiangwan raised his hand and said, "Don't tell me you're coming back to see your parents. You haven't been back for five years. You must have forgotten about Zhao Jiagou."

As soon as Zhao Chenyang spoke, he was choked by Zhao Xiangwan and snorted: "I came to Luo County to discuss a big business."

Zhao Xiangwan asked Ji Zhao and the others to leave first, and then he pulled Zhao Chenyang aside and asked with a smile: "Why don't you let me guess, what big deal are you here to discuss?"

Zhao Chenyang shook off Zhao Xiangwan's hand as if he had been electrocuted, looked around, and found that he was forcibly dragged by Zhao Xiangwan to the fence of a vegetable garden. Behind him was a vegetable field planted with garlic and cabbage sprouts, and in front of him was the spacious floor of an old house.

The noisy crowd had dispersed, Qian Shufen returned to the house with the gift, and only Luo Yihui was left standing three feet away, staring at the two of them vigilantly.

Zhao Chenyang waved to Luo Yihui and said to Zhao Xiangwan with a brilliant smile: "Did you see that? I have someone to protect me, so don't always bully me."

Zhao Xiangwan was both angry and amused when he saw her like this. She found a venomous snake as her boyfriend, and she was still showing off in front of him?

Zhao Chenyang glanced at her and said, "Why did you drag me to this shabby vegetable garden?"

Zhao Xiangwan: "If you don't hide from others, will everyone in the village know that you are planning to make a fortune from your rebirth?"

Zhao Chenyang felt his scalp explode, and his eyes widened in shock: "You, how did you know?"

She quickly looked around again to make sure there was no one around. She was so far away that Luo Yihui couldn't hear her. Then she lowered her voice and asked, "Hey, you promised me that you wouldn't tell anyone."

Zhao Xiangwan said: "I also said that you have to be obedient."

Zhao Chenyang muttered reluctantly: "I didn't offend you. I didn't even dare to see you. I told you everything you asked me. What else do you want?"

Zhao Xiangwan asked: "What are your plans for returning to Luo County?"

Zhao Chenyang was so frightened by Zhao Xiangwan's threats that he could not even think of resisting. He could only say angrily, "Oh, you guessed right. I want to make some money from my rebirth. Is that not okay?"

Zhao Xiangwan glanced at her coldly.

Zhao Chenyang was aroused by her glance and said, "Hey, don't look down on me. Although I didn't achieve much in my previous life, at least I have read a lot of romance novels and watched a lot of TV dramas. I know exactly what will be popular in the future. If I write them out in advance, I will definitely make money!"

Zhao Xiangwan: "And then?"

Zhao Chenyang saw Zhao Xiangwan's attitude and didn't seem to object, so he immediately said enthusiastically: "I plan to find someone who can write novels. I'll come up with the ideas and she'll write them. If we make any money in the future, we'll each split it in half."

Zhao Xiangwan pouted in Luo Yihui's direction: "Did you tell him?"

Zhao Chenyang shook his head: "No, I haven't married him yet. I'll make some money first, so I can feel more at ease."

Zhao Xiangwan: "Then why did you bring him here? Aren't you afraid that he will discover the secret of your rebirth?"

Although Zhao Chenyang is stupid, he is not that stupid. Only Zhao Xiangwan knows the secret of rebirth.

In front of Luo Yihui, Zhao Chenyang did not say that she was a reborn person, but occasionally told him some creative ideas copied from the future, such as the rich nightlife in the future, such as adding some art and story elements to the erotic song and dance performances, such as the waiter's commission for drinks, etc. Don't underestimate her small ideas, they are the essence summarized by the future business elites, but a few words of understatement can benefit Luo Yihui a lot.

Zhao Chenyang said, "I just said that I admire Wei Lan. I heard that she was holding the annual meeting of the Writers Association in Luo County, so I came to ask her for autographs. Yihui is a very nice person. He took time out of his busy schedule to drive me to see Wei Lan. How nice."

Zhao Xiangwan asked her, "Did you go to see Wei Lan?"

Zhao Chenyang said, "I haven't seen him yet. We left Zhushi early in the morning and arrived in Luoxian at 9:30. Yihui said that writers usually get up late, so we should go back to my house first, so we came to Zhaojiagou. I didn't expect you guys to come back today, and we bumped into each other."

It takes about an hour and a half to drive from Zhushi to Luoxian via the provincial road. Zhao Chenyang and Luo Yihui set out from Zhushi at around eight in the morning.

From childhood to adulthood, when have you ever seen Zhao Chenyang so diligent?

Zhao Xiangwan glanced at her and asked, "How can you get up so early?"

Zhao Chenyang yawned and sighed, "Yihui goes to bed early and gets up early, there's nothing I can do about it." The performances at the nightclub lasted until two in the morning, but Luo Yihui handed the nightclub over to the manager. He himself never stayed up late, got up early every day to run, and also worked out on weekdays. He was very self-disciplined.

Zhao Xiangwan's eyes became deep. Self-disciplined people are the most difficult to deal with.

Without finding more useful clues, Zhao Xiangwan decided to deepen the conversation: "You collaborated with Wei Lan to write a novel, so why can you get half of the profits?"

This question made Zhao Chenyang suddenly feel stuck.

「Ah, this……」

【I can’t say.】

Zhao Xiangwan continued to ask: "Even if Wei Lan used the ideas, plots, or inspirations you provided for her book, how could she agree to give you half of the proceeds?"

Zhao Chenyang was speechless for a long time before he said, "Well, I corresponded with her and wrote her an outline, and proposed that we each take half, and she agreed."

Sometimes Zhao Xiangwan really wanted to knock Zhao Chenyang's stupid head open.

She agreed? She agreed so you could get half?

In this world, if everyone’s words count, how can there be the crime of fraud?

Zhao Xiangwan asked: "How can you ensure a share of the profits?"

Zhao Chenyang answered quickly this time: "So I came to talk to her, and we signed the contract after we agreed on the profit sharing."

Zhao Xiangwan asked again: "Even if the personal agreement is signed, how can you guarantee that Wei Lan will give you half of the money from the novel's publication? You have to know that only Wei Lan's name is in the novel, and negotiating the publishing contract with the publisher is also Wei Lan's personal behavior. What does it have to do with you?"

Zhao Chenyang realized at this time that the fundamental reason why he was not as successful as Zhao Xiangwan in his previous life and this life was that he was not as smart as Zhao Xiangwan. He just mentioned it, but Zhao Xiangwan thought everything was clear, and no one could deceive her. But what about himself? He wrote a letter to Weilan in a fit of anger, and was tricked by her to come to Luo County. If Zhao Xiangwan hadn't reminded him, he would probably not get a penny even if he sold a lot of ideas, right?

Zhao Chenyang gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, "Damn it! I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else. Wei Lan is a beautiful writer in public, but she's actually a whore behind the scenes. Around the turn of the millennium, she was exposed for a scandal that she had been cheating on her husband for a long time. Moreover, all her novels were completed by a mysterious person. I plan to use this to threaten her."

Zhao Xiangwan already knew about Wei Lan's extramarital affair and was not surprised. What surprised her was that all of Wei Lan's novels were completed by a mysterious person? Who was the mysterious person?

Seeing Zhao Xiangwan's surprised expression, Zhao Chenyang finally felt that he had made up the score in terms of IQ: "You don't know about this, right? So you see, it has to be me. I was so stupid before, always thinking about snatching your good life. Now I understand how great an opportunity it is to live a second life. Why should I always fight with you?"

Zhao Xiangwan frowned: "You use this to threaten Weilan, aren't you afraid of her revenge?"

趙晨陽哼了一聲：“我堂而皇之地去見她，她哪裏敢對我不利？再說了，她要是不肯和我合作，那我就在作協年會裏随便找一個。我有腦子、有故事，就是不會寫，只要找個厲害的作家來合作不就行了？到時候簽兩個人的名字，一起去和出版社談條件，就行了嘛。”

趙向晚沒有說話。這個趙晨陽一天到晚腦子裏琢磨的都是些什麽？除了偷別人的人生、抄別人的創意，她還會什麽？

趙晨陽見趙向晚沒有反對，以為她默認自己的行為，整個人歡喜得有些飄了：“對吧，你也覺得可以是不是？我見過我爸媽之後就去羅縣，中午請蔚藍吃個飯，談談條件。畢竟她的名氣大，丈夫又是出版社的老總，找蔚藍合作最容易賺錢嘛。”

趙向晚：“找蔚藍？你怕是要失望了。”

趙晨陽不解地看着她：“怎麽？”

趙向晚的聲音很冷靜：“她死了。”

趙晨陽渾身一顫，不敢置信地看着趙向晚：“死了？”

趙向晚目光炯炯：“原本，她不應該死是不是？”

趙晨陽被趙向晚的話吓得後退兩步：“她不應該這個時候死！原本她會獲得華國言情小說最高獎項，她還會與喻惠民一起幸福地接受電視臺的采訪，她的小說會改編成電視劇熱播，怎麽可能現在就死了呢？”

趙向晚往前逼近兩步，目光變得銳利起來：“所以，是你改變了她的命運！”

趙晨陽被趙向晚逼得再後退了一步，連連搖頭：“不不不，我沒有殺她。我只是寄了封信給她，讓她看了一點我的想法，并提出合作的願望。”

洛一輝在一旁看得情況不對，快步跑了過來：“晨陽，怎麽了？”

趙晨陽慌忙擺手：“沒事沒事，你不要過來。”

即使趙晨陽拒絕他靠近，洛一輝依然走近，一只手攬住趙晨陽的肩膀，盯着趙向晚：“你在做什麽？別欺負她！”

趙向晚試圖探聽洛一輝的內心所想，卻發現此刻他的內心依然像蒙了一塊黑布，什麽光亮都透不進去，什麽聲響都傳不出來。

趙向晚冷笑一聲。

趙晨陽忙推了洛一輝一把：“沒有沒有，她沒欺負我，我們就是閑聊。”

洛一輝将趙晨陽摟得更緊了一些，眯起雙眼，帶着一種莫名的壓力：“趙向晚，你以後離晨陽遠一點。她雖然做過錯事，但當時也只是個不懂事的小女孩，事情過去這麽久，道歉也道了，賠償也賠了，你還想要她怎麽樣？”

趙向晚索性當着洛一輝的面問趙晨陽：“蔚藍已死，你是嫌疑人之一，今天別想走。”

洛一輝眉毛都沒有動一下：“開什麽玩笑！蔚藍的死和她有什麽關系？”

趙向晚迅速盯着洛一輝，兩人目光在空中交會，火.藥味十足。

趙向晚問話的态度一如在審訊室，聲音沉靜而威嚴：“所以，你知道蔚藍已死？”

洛一輝的左眼眼睑微微抽了抽，目光下意識地回避趙向晚的眼神：“我不知道。”

趙向晚忽然笑了，動作快似閃電，揉身上前。

也不知道她是怎麽做到的，一只手托住洛一輝的右手手肘向上一擡，另一只手從他衣服口袋裏取出車鑰匙，五指一收，牢牢将車鑰匙握在手中。

拿到車鑰匙之後，趙向晚迅速後退，遠離開洛一輝的近身範圍：“你們別想跑，留下來等着警車接吧。”

洛一輝根本沒想到趙向晚的反應速度這麽快，他想要搶回車鑰匙，卻發現趙向晚根本不與他對抗，離得遠遠的。

洛一輝咬牙道：“你發什麽瘋？把車鑰匙還我！”

趙晨陽現在也是一頭霧水，看看趙向晚，再看看洛一輝，不知道趙向晚為什麽突然要搶車鑰匙：“喂，三妹子，你是不是瘋了？大白天的明搶嗎？你又不是沒有車！”

趙向晚橫了她一眼：“蠢貨！”

洛一輝的心跳開始加快，不敢與趙向晚繼續糾纏，拉着趙晨陽的手，往村口走去：“不知所謂！簡直就是神經病。”

趙晨陽被他拖着往村口走，一邊掙紮一邊說：“你幹嘛呀？我媽還在家等我們回去喝茶呢。”

不知道為什麽，一股強烈的危機感從腳底湧了上來，洛一輝仿佛聽到腦海裏有一個聲音在不斷地告誡自己：趕緊離開，趕緊離開！

此時此刻，洛一輝無比後悔與趙向晚碰面。

不該惹她。

她是一頭危險的豹子。

明明季家人都溫和慈愛，怎麽偏偏找了個這麽厲害的媳婦？太可怕了！

洛一輝的手上不自覺地帶出些力氣，捏得趙晨陽的胳膊生疼，趙晨陽有些害怕，帶着哭腔地喊：“一輝，你松手，我不走，我不想走。”

話音剛落，趙伯文、趙仲武兄弟倆從上屋那裏走過來：“向晚，快來，就等你了。”

一眼發現狀态不對，趙家兄弟跑了過來，趙仲武一巴掌推在洛一輝肩頭：“你幹嘛？四妹子都哭了你還拖着她！”

洛一輝将趙仲武這一巴掌推開老遠，一個踉跄差點摔倒，他平時經常健身，身體強壯，很快穩住身形，看一眼趙晨陽：“你不回去？”

趙晨陽的腦袋完全轉不過彎來：“我不回去，蔚藍都死了，我去羅縣也沒什麽事做。再說了，你的車鑰匙還在三妹子手裏，怎麽回去？”

洛一輝終于讓自己的情緒穩定下來，緩緩站直，眼神冰冷一片，看着趙向晚：“想留客？你想的辦法可真獨特。”他此刻再想走，就顯得心虛慌張，不如和趙晨陽一樣，以靜制動。

趙向晚微微一笑，對趙伯文說：“把他們帶到家裏坐下好好喝茶，千萬別讓他們跑了。”

趙伯文點點頭，二話不說照做無誤。

趙仲武倒是問了一句：“你要做什麽？”

趙向晚說：“我去打個電話，讓警車來接他們。”

趙仲武倒抽了一口涼氣：“出了什麽事？四妹子犯法了？”

趙晨陽“呸！”了他一句，“狗嘴裏吐不出象牙。”

趙向晚指了指趙晨陽與洛一輝：“這兩個，是一樁命案的重要證人，好好招待吧。”

說罷，趙向晚轉身去找村委主任趙長興。

雖然說了不插手蔚藍的案子，但是……線索就在眼前，如果放趙晨陽、洛一輝離開，恐怕這樁案子會成為懸案。所以，趙向晚還是決定幫李明楊一個忙。

電話打過去，李明楊興奮地說：“好好好，我帶上傳喚證，馬上就過來。”

趙向晚說：“審訊……”

李明楊立刻反應過來：“我讓局長給你們星市公安局去函，請求讓你以刑偵專家的身份協辦此案，如果立功也有你一份，怎麽樣？”

趙向晚想象得出來許嵩嶺的表情，笑了笑：“好。”

很快，警車開進了趙家溝，衆目睽睽之下，洛一輝、趙晨陽被帶上警車。

錢淑芬吓得直哆嗦，拉着趙晨陽的手說：“妹子啊，你怎麽犯了事？不要做犯法的事啊。你姐她是警察，肯定要抓你的。”

趙晨陽心裏也有些忐忑，不耐煩地說：“我沒犯法，你慌什麽。”

她也想不通，蔚藍怎麽會死，難道真的是因為自己與她聯系，改變了她的命運？到底是因為什麽，蔚藍會被人殺了呢。

這件事，與洛一輝又有什麽關系呢？趙向晚為什麽說他早就知道蔚藍已死？

剛才安靜坐在老屋，趙晨陽想了很多，突然覺得洛一輝陌生起來。

趙晨陽和洛一輝談了半年戀愛，同居了三個月，他一直是個溫和有禮的君子，從來沒有見他像今天這樣激動過。

趙向晚雖然讨厭，但她從來不打诳語。

她說洛一輝與案件有關，那就一定有關。

可是趙晨陽想破腦袋，也想不出為什麽洛一輝會與蔚藍之死扯上關系。

趙晨陽上警車之前，悄悄對趙向晚說：“喂，我的秘密，千萬別對其他人說。”如果讓人知道她是重生的，趙晨陽擔心自己會被關進研究所，切片進行探索生命的奧秘。

趙向晚點了點頭。

如果趙晨陽的能力被某些人利用，會改變很多人的命運，不見得是好事。

蔚藍不就被殺了？

李明楊把趙晨陽、洛一輝帶回市局，趙向晚則拜訪了趙家溝曾經對她有恩的長輩，在趙長庚、趙清瑤家裏吃了午飯，一家人這才往星市而去。

至于錢淑芬、趙二福，趙向晚連看都沒有看一眼。

沒有把他們告上法庭，判他們遺棄罪、虐待罪，已經是慈悲，還想讓她像沒事人一樣來感謝他們養大了她？休想。

将季家人安頓在芙蓉酒店，趙向晚與季昭準備參與案件調查。

臨走之前，趙向晚看着欲言又止的洛丹楓：“您覺得洛一輝是你侄子，在你身邊養了十幾年有感情，所以哪怕知道他對季昭有惡意，兩家依然保持着表面的親戚走動。看到他被警方帶走，你心裏不舒服，是不是？”

Luo Danfeng felt very upset and wanted to explain a few words, but she felt helpless. She looked at Ji Jinmao for help, hoping that her husband would say a few words for her. But Ji Jinmao did not seem to receive her signal and just looked at Zhao Xiangwan quietly.

Zhao Xiangwan's expression was serious: "What if I told you that Ji Zhao climbed up the billboard in the hotel and almost lost his life, and it was all planned by Luo Yihui?"

Luo Danfeng's face turned pale all of a sudden: "How is this possible?!"

Ji Jinmao also widened his eyes: "Xiang Wan, that's not what you said at the time."

Zhao Xiangwan: "I was not Ji Zhao's fiancée at that time."

Ji Zhao stood beside Zhao Xiangwan, nodded heavily, and clearly supported everything Zhao Xiangwan said.

Do you need any more evidence? Not at all.

Ji Zhao's attitude means everything.

Luo Danfeng was trembling with fear, "I, I treated him like my own son, raised him carefully, sent him to study abroad, my brother and sister-in-law got divorced, and neither wanted him. I brought him home and lived with Ji Zhao. How could he do this?"

Zhao Xiangwan said: "Human nature is greedy. You think you have done him a great favor, but he thinks you are just using him and want him to work like a slave for Ji Zhao."

Luo Danfeng shook his head, sat down, and murmured, "I was wrong, wrong!"

Zhao Xiangwan said calmly: "You still have Ji Zhao and me."

Ji Jinmao knew that Luo Danfeng had feelings for her family, and he had never had the heart to irritate his wife. Now that Zhao Xiangwan had personally pierced this cancer, although he knew that a short pain is worse than a long one, he still felt distressed. He put his arm around his wife's shoulders and comforted her softly, "Yes, you still have me. We are a family. We should ignore that kind of ungrateful wolf!"

Zhao Xiangwan said: "Ji Zhao and I will go to the Luo County Public Security Bureau to participate in the interrogation. If I get ruthless, don't blame me."

Ji Jinmao said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter, go do your thing."

Luo Danfeng slowly raised his head, endured the pain in his chest, and said word by word: "Xiang Wan, just let it go and try it. No matter what the result is, I don't blame you."

【Xiang Wan has never missed anyone she wants to catch.】

[Yihui, you are sorry for me and yourself! ]

Zhao Xiangwan finally felt relieved and rushed to Luo County Public Security Bureau with Ji Zhao.
