Chapter 236: Nightmare
"He should be back soon. He won't be out all the time. He went to pick up his wife."
This was said by Xie's father. Although Xie Huailan was his biological sister, he knew her too well over the years. Xie Huailan was like a poisonous snake and could do anything.
Although his son did not continue to talk to him about the last time Nancheng became blind, Father Xie had long suspected that it was Xie Huailan's doing, so he still had to be on guard.
Seeing what her husband meant, Mrs. Xie did not mention it again.
Half an hour later, take advantage of the free time.
Xie Huailan and Xie Huaishan quietly walked around to the corner of the stairs in the villa.
"Second sister, what's the matter?"
"Don't you think this is a good opportunity?" Xie Huailan sneered.
"I don't think so. I've failed several times and I don't want to take the risk again." Xie Huaishan is now exhausted by his wife's affairs and is in no mood to deal with his nephew.
"Huaishan, don't you think about it? If it wasn't his doing, how could my sister-in-law be hooking up with that guy surnamed Guo? I suspect that this matter is not my sister-in-law's fault at all. It was all set up by that brat."
"You treat him as a family member and can't bear to kill him."
"They haven't shown you any mercy. Now your family is in turmoil, and that country bumpkin wife is pretending to be a good person and taking care of your children. Who knows what they are up to? You don't really think that they like Jiatong, do you?"
Xie Huailan's words made Xie Huaishan frown again.
He is not as cruel as his second sister, and he also puts profit above all else.
But he is indeed not as decisive as Xie Huailan in doing things, and it is true that he is hesitant.
"That won't work either. It's too late, Second Sister."
"Phoenix Ridge is some distance away from us."
"We don't know anyone there."
"Transferring people from Xiangcheng would be too conspicuous, and I'm afraid it would be too late. Forget it."
After thinking about it, Xie Huaishan felt that it was not a good time to take action.
"You think I'll do it myself?"
"What else?" Xie Huaishan looked at Xie Huailan with some suspicion.
"I have my own way, just listen to my news."
Xie Huailan turned and left without saying anything more.
Recently, she has been encouraging her younger brother Xie Huaishan to form cliques in the company, hoping to gradually erode the company and undermine Xie Nancheng.
While instigating his sister-in-law Yang Xin, he went to find the gambler to attack Xie Nancheng.
After hearing that the gambler had failed, Xie Huailan did not give up. In short, Xie Huailan would not miss any good opportunity to bring down Xie Nancheng.
Phoenix Ridge, thatched house.
Tu Ran was in a daze and had a very scary dream.
It can be called a nightmare.
Tu Ran dreamed that she and Xie Nancheng were sleeping in each other's arms.
There were footsteps outside the house.
She woke up quietly, looked through the window, and was dumbfounded.
Unconsciously, there were more than a dozen masked men in black outside.
Each of them was holding a weapon and came with a fierce momentum.
In her dream, she pulled Xie Nancheng out of the back window and ran towards the back mountain.
After all, this is a place she is familiar with.
But the downside is that because of the heavy snow, you can quickly catch up with them by following their footprints.
In the dream, Tu Ran kept running and running.
She only remembered holding Xie Nancheng's hand tightly, and did not let go even when she was sweating profusely while running.
Then he came to the small town at the foot of the mountain in a daze and hid here and there.
Finally they found a car and drove towards Xiangcheng.
But he was caught up on the road he was leaving, but actually he was not caught up.
It’s because those criminals, I don’t know where they got a car from.
They also threw flammable eggs at their car, setting it on fire.
Amid the raging fire, the couple jumped out of the car and fled.
But he accidentally fell off a cliff by the roadside.
Tragically, Xie Nancheng accidentally fell off a cliff, and she could only watch him fall.
At that moment, she couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.
"Ah...Xie Nancheng."
Tu Ran screamed and woke up from his dream.
"What's wrong?" Xie Nancheng was completely awakened by Tu Ran's shout.
I quickly hugged her and began to comfort her.
Although Tu Ran had woken up, he was still sobbing because the dream he had just had was too real.
Xie Nancheng had never seen Tu Ran cry before. The last time she was surrounded and hacked by so many people, he didn't see her show any fear. But now he actually saw tears in the corners of her eyes.
Xie Nancheng felt inexplicably distressed, and quickly stood up and held the person in his arms.
"Having a nightmare?"
"Um."
"What did you dream about?" Xie Nancheng asked gently.
Tu Ran remained silent. The lights were not on and the room was still pitch black.
It was still snowing outside, and I could vaguely see large snowflakes falling.
The silence in the mountains was terrifying, without a sound at all.
In the darkness, there was only the sound of two people breathing.
"It's okay. If you don't want to talk about it, don't worry. I'm here. Don't be afraid."
"Um."
"Would you like some water? I'll get it for you." Xie Nancheng stood up and tried to get out of bed.
"Don't go." Tu Ran was so nervous for the first time.
It’s not because I’m afraid of the darkness, but because I’m afraid of the scene of losing Xie Nancheng in the dream just now.
The two of them have been together day and night for such a long time, and they finally opened up to each other and their relationship has taken a step forward.
If Xie Nancheng really fell off a cliff and died, she would definitely be extremely sad.
"Okay, I won't go. I'll just hold you like this."
After being quiet for about two or three minutes, Xie Nancheng deliberately teased her, "Honey, you're not sleepy anymore, are you? If you're really not sleepy, then how about we do some exercise?"
"It's already this time, and you still have the mood to think about this?" Tu Ran glared at him angrily.
"Hahaha, of course I was just teasing you on purpose."
"But if you really want to, I will definitely cooperate with you."
"Xie Nancheng, please have some shame." After coming to his senses, Tu Ran finally regained his composure.
"Okay, now that you can curse, it's okay. It's still early, just after four o'clock, let's go back to sleep."
Xie Nancheng glanced at his phone. It was only 4:05 in the morning and it was still dark.
He pulled Tu Ran to lie down and wanted to continue sleeping.
Tu Ran couldn't sleep no matter what.
"You go to sleep first, I'm going to the bathroom."
With that, Tu Ran put on his down jacket and went out.
Xie Nancheng didn't think much about it and continued to lie in bed.
Tu Ran really wanted to go to the toilet, but the environment in the mountains was naturally not as good as in the city.
The toilets are all outside and are extremely basic.
After Tu Ran went to the toilet, when he came back, he stood at the door for some reason and looked down the mountain.
The path in front of the door was paved brick by brick by my grandfather.
This is the only way down the mountain. It takes a while to reach the village at the foot of the mountain.
There are probably more than sixty households there, and it is quite lively.
Some of the villagers there once had a good relationship with my grandfather, but those elders passed away one after another as time passed. In addition, Tu Ran has been in Xiangcheng for four years, so there must be no intersection between them.
Tu Ran looked at the time on his phone again. It was 4:15.
As she stood at the door and looked down the mountain, a picture suddenly appeared in her mind.
A group of masked men in black broke into a farmyard.
In the yard was the luxury car that Xie Nancheng had deposited.
