For people like them who are in the upper class, it is normal to have unknown houses, but Jin Lou is obviously unaware of it, which makes Su Niannian's expression ease a little.
Following behind Su Niannian, Jin Lou's heart was filled with turmoil. What had Su Niannian experienced during the years he had been gone? Why did she hate Jin Chuan so much? Everything was a mystery in his mind. Thinking about it carefully, his head began to hurt. Jin Lou subconsciously looked at Gu Zhiye who was walking beside him.
As Su Niannian's nominal husband, he could actually ignore her. Did he not care?! Or did he care too much...
Su Niannian and Gu Zhiye had already talked about everything, and there was nothing to hide at the moment. She took the two of them to a small courtyard of a Western-style house in the west of the city with ease.
Pointing to the tightly closed courtyard door, Su Niannian's voice trembled: "This is Jin Chuan's home."
Gu Zhiye could sense that his wife was in a bad mood, so he quickly stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulders. This action made Jin Lou's eyes dim a little. Without saying anything more, he simply climbed over the wall and unbolted the door from the inside. The flowers and plants in the yard were well-maintained, and it was obvious that people came here frequently.
Jin Lou's face turned pale. What Su Niannian said seemed to be true. He subconsciously waited for Su Niannian and Gu Zhiye to come in. Su Niannian, who had been holding her head high just now, looked like she had come to some forbidden place. Even her face turned pale. She whispered to Gu Zhiye, "Go in and see if Weidong is here."
Gu Zhiye uttered a low "hmm".
He and Jin Lou pushed open the door of the inner room one after another.
at the same time,
With the invasion of light and shadow, the world was divided into two halves. The black and white were too obvious. Jin Lou and Gu Zhiye inevitably saw the huge sketch hanging in the main room. The girl in the painting was barefoot and dancing gracefully. It was undoubtedly Su Niannian.
What's even more shocking is that there is not just one such painting, but six in total, large and small, and some are even unfinished. Jin Lou's heart skipped a beat, guessing a possibility, and his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot in an instant. Compared with him, Gu Zhiye was calm and a little indifferent. He lowered his eyes and said coldly: "Can I burn these things? They are an eyesore..."
Jin Lou's hands trembled slightly.
The next second,
Su Niannian's voice sounded outside: "Have you found the person? Do you want me to come in..."
"Don't come in--!" Jin Lou's voice contained a hint of panic.
Gu Zhiye glanced outside and said in a deep voice: "Why do you think she hates Jin Chuan? Don't you know what kind of person your brother is?"
After saying this, without waiting for Jin Lou's reaction, Gu Zhiye went to other rooms first.
Including cellar.
Check them one by one.
There was no sign of Xue Weidong at all. Su Niannian was visibly disappointed with the final result. The couple turned around and were about to leave. Jin Lou chased them out and explained in front of Gu Zhiye: "I'm sorry about what happened today. If there is any news about Xue Weidong, I will contact you, but this may be a misunderstanding. My brother is not aware of it..."
Su Niannian's eyes turned red: "What guarantee do you have?"
Her tears were about to burst out. In order to avoid being seen by Jin Lou, Su Niannian quickly buried her head in Gu Zhiye's chest. The man hugged her possessively. This scene hurt Jin Lou's heart for no reason. He couldn't express more concerns. His most beloved girl had become someone else's wife. He could only say that it was fate.
And his broken body also did not allow him to accompany the beauty. Jin Lou swallowed hard the salty taste in his throat and said, "Comrade Gu, please take good care of her."
"I will take care of my wife. Who are you to say that?"
"..."
"Just treat it as your brother."
"As a brother, could you please tie up the mad dog at home? Instead of caring about other people's daughter-in-law, you might as well worry about your morally corrupt brother. If he falls into my hands again, I will never show mercy even with the intervention of that person!" Gu Zhiye hugged Su Niannian and left this forbidden place.
Looking at their departing backs, Jin Lou felt as if his heart was crushed and he felt extremely uncomfortable. He opened his mouth and after a while, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The extremely weak Jin Lou had long lost his original spirit. He held the wall with one hand and walked into the house with the other. After piling up all those bold and unbridled paintings, Jin Lou chose to burn them all with trembling hands, just like the beautiful past of him and Su Niannian, which could only be buried and turned into ashes that could not see the light of day.
…
After this interrogation, even if Jin Chuan is found to be suspected of plagiarizing other people's achievements in the academic world, given his excellence, it is impossible to charge him with a felony. The most important thing is that those who stood up to accuse him at the beginning have now changed their words. As for Comrade Xue, who caused the most trouble, there is no trace of him at all.
There is nothing to check.
Anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on. It was impossible for someone without money or background to go far on this path. After the interrogation was over, the police officer in charge of the case breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jin Chuan, "According to the current situation, as long as the people at the Ning County Agricultural Bureau are willing to give in, it will be a matter of time before you regain your freedom. Generally speaking, you are here to make a contribution, and they will not suffer any loss."
"Let's talk about it later. Now you have plenty of time to spend with your family. There's no need to rush into work." Because Jin Lou had just returned to Heilongjiang Province, Gao Xianlan had not had time to return from the imperial capital. She ordered her younger son to take good care of her older son, no matter in life or other matters, and not to add burden to his brother.
God have pity on him. Jin Chuan didn't say a single word about those dark, dirty things, or even the things that represented his thoughts in front of his brother. He vented all his suppressed emotions in that private house, hidden from the light of day.
From a distance, they saw flames coming out of the villa.
Jin Chuan's eyelids twitched. As soon as he got off the car, he saw his neighbors carrying buckets going back and forth to his house. The originally beautiful flowers were trampled beyond recognition, and the paintings that served as a consolation to him were all reduced to ashes in the fire.
Jin Chuan's emotions were on the verge of collapse. Even though the people around him tried their best to stop him, they couldn't stop him from yelling, "Who did it?! Who the hell set the fire! If you have the guts, stand up! I'll kill you!"
A cold and desolate reply came from the noisy crowd.
"I'm right here, how are you going to kill me?!"
