☆, Chapter 61
"Actually, when I found out your parents were always out and not at home to take care of you, I thought they were irresponsible, but they still love you very much, right?"
Xi Mo nodded. Because things had developed differently in this life, she could also feel the true love of her father and mother from some small things.
The two of them found a dessert shop to eat. Qin Xinwei suddenly thought of something and said mysteriously, "Hey, Momo, people from the other class said that Xiu Changle and Xiu Yanggui are brothers. Is that true?"
In fact, Qin Xinwei didn't care about whether they were brothers or not. It was just that school life was too boring, so she liked to know some gossip and strange stories. Xiu Yangui was still a celebrity in the school, which made her even more curious.
Xi Mo nodded, "Yes, brother."
Xiu Yangui has become very good at making fun of his own identity. The boy's originally narrow and fragile world is growing stronger with the passage of time.
Qin Xinwei thought of something else and approached Xi Mo cautiously. "I heard, just heard, I don't know how it got out, that Xiu Yangui is an illegitimate child. He and Xiu Changle have the same father but different mothers. And uh, Xiu Yangui's mother is a mistress..."
Xi Mo was stunned for a moment, and Xiu Yangui's face immediately appeared in her mind. Did he know about this? Would he still be sad?
Qin Xinwei looked at Xi Mo's expression. In fact, she didn't say everything, and she couldn't say it completely, because the people who spread the news actually said very unpleasant things. Those shady rats and cockroaches were afraid that Xiu Yangui would know, but they wanted everyone else to know.
"I think those people have dark hearts. I'm not the only one who thinks they're sick. Others think so too."
"Why bring up the affairs of the previous generation? Let's keep things separate. Xiu Yangui is not interfering in other people's feelings."
Xi Mo lowered her eyes and took a sip of Momo Latte, "Yes, Xiu Yangui is right."
Xi Mo ate her cake and listened to Qin Xinwei continue sharing other gossip she had heard. She wondered to herself: Who was maliciously spreading rumors about Xiu Yangui? Xiu Changle? Or Fang Sai?
"Okay, bye Momo, see you tomorrow. I'm really happy to be out with you today."
"I'm very happy too. Goodbye Weiwei, see you tomorrow."
It was still bright at 6:30 in the evening in May. Xi Mo did not call a driver to pick her up, but took a taxi directly. When passing by the residential complex where Xiu Yangui lived, she subconsciously looked over there. However, Xiu Yangui lived in a building farther inside the complex, so naturally she could not see anything from the outside.
Among the things Xi Mo bought were snacks and toys for Moli. She planned to put the other things back home before going out to look for Xiu Yangui.
After getting off the car, Xi Mo walked towards the front door of her home carrying the bag. The further she walked, the more she felt something was wrong. Her heart felt heavy and her head ached slightly, as if a hammer wrapped in cloth was hitting her head again and again.
Xi Mo stood there, staring at the house carefully. From outside the house, she didn't see anything wrong, but there was definitely something wrong.
Then I took two steps forward and found that the smart lock on the door was out of power and could only be opened with the key.
However, Xi Mo did not choose to open the door immediately. She put all the bags at her feet, took out her mobile phone and started checking the surveillance in the house. As expected, the screen was completely black.
Xi Mo had just replaced this surveillance camera last month, so it shouldn't be broken. The only possibility was that someone covered it with something, or someone destroyed the surveillance camera. No matter which possibility it was, it was not right.
Where's Aunt Lin? Is she home? Did the incident happen earlier? Aunt Lin has already been murdered, and Lin Baozu is hiding in a corner of the villa with the murder weapon, waiting for Xi Mo, who knows nothing about it, to come home.
The situation is unclear now, and Xi Mo cannot act rashly. She subconsciously opened Xiu Yangui's chat box and sent him a message.
【mol: Come to my house.】
【xiuyG: What's wrong? 】
【xiuyG: Are you back from shopping? 】
Just as she was about to reply to him, the phone screen went black. Then Xi Mo remembered that her phone only had 6% battery left when she took a taxi. Now she could only hope that Xiu Yan would return, hoping that he would pay attention to the message she had just sent and rush to her house.
Not being able to get a positive answer from Xiu Yangui made Xi Mo feel unusually nervous. What would she do if Xiu Yangui didn't come?
I have experienced something like this in my previous life, so I should be more experienced and mature in this life. Why are my palms starting to sweat?
I can only comfort myself silently in my heart and believe that Xiu Yangui will definitely come.
Xi Mo first picked up two bags of small items, opened the door with the key, and walked towards the house naturally. When she reached the door, she did not open it, but pretended to be calm and touched her pocket. She stood there and listened to the sounds inside the house. There was silence, as if there was no one who was knocked unconscious, nor anyone with an ugly heart who was about to continue committing crimes.
Xi Mo had never met Lin Baozu in this life. She had only met Lin Baozu in her last life when she was in her third year of high school. Was she being overly suspicious? In fact, there was nothing in the room. She was just being too sensitive.
Xi Mo rejected this idea the next second. Things are constantly developing and changing. There is a certain probability that Lin Baozu will show up early and have the idea of kidnapping Xi Mo for blackmail. Aunt Lin will be angry and disappointed with her brother just like in her previous life, and then be knocked unconscious by the furious Lin Baozu before calling the police.
But Aunt Lin will never lose her life again because of this incident in this life. She will definitely live a long life, and Lin Baozu will definitely receive the punishment he deserves and pay the full price.
"Hey? I left my keys in the big bag."
Xi Mo muttered something and turned back to the yard.
Now she was sure that there was someone in the room. When she stood at the door just now, she felt that someone was lying on the door, spying on her every move through the peephole. The heavy and turbid breathing sound kept invading Xi Mo's ears, making it difficult to ignore.
Xi Mo looked into the distance and saw a tall and thin figure appear at the corner of the road. It was Xiu Yangui. He was jogging towards this side. He arrived at Xi Mo's house in such a short time. He probably set off as soon as he saw the news about Xi Mo.
The moment she saw Xiu Yan return, Xi Mo felt strangely relieved.
Even if she felt she was wrong and this incident was a misunderstanding, causing Xiu Yangui to make a wasted trip, it didn't matter. Xiu Yangui wouldn't be angry with her. The next time Xi Mo looked for him, he would still come to her house.
Xi Mo took a step forward and said, "My phone is out of battery."
"I was wondering why you disappeared after saying just one sentence. I thought something happened to you."
Xiu Yangui ran a little hurriedly, and followed his breath, "Is it that the things can't be moved in?"
As he said that, he went to pick up the bag and found that although the things looked a lot, they were all very light. He didn't care. As long as Xi Mo was fine, it was okay.
Xi Mo took a step forward to block Xiu Yangui, and got very close to him. The two of them seemed to be hugging each other intimately. Xiu Yangui tensed up instantly, and then he heard Xi Mo say:
"Someone's home."
Xiu Yangui understood immediately, put the bag down again, and moved closer to Xi Mo. The two of them actually hugged each other, "Where's the surveillance?"
“Black.”
The two exchanged a secret glance. He knew that Xi Mo had replaced the surveillance camera, and he was the one who helped install it.
Xiu Yangui immediately had an idea, "My phone is in my pocket, take it, I'll go in and take a look."
"good."
The two of them were like a clingy couple, hugging each other from time to time. Xi Mo easily took out the cell phone from his pocket, walked behind Xiu Yangui, and entered the emergency number in a place where no one could see. If she found anything wrong, she would call it immediately.
There seemed to be strange noises coming from the empty house. Xiu Yangui, who was approaching, stood at the door with a bag in his hand and opened it unconsciously. Xi Mo followed two steps behind him.
I don’t know if it was because of Xiu Yangui’s presence, but the person hiding in the house was obviously panicked. He didn’t have a complete plan to begin with and acted on impulse.
The door opened, and Xiu Yangui stood in front of Xi Mo. His tall and majestic figure and stretched shoulders completely blocked Xi Mo's view of what was happening in the living room. Xiu Yangui turned his head, opened his thin lips, and whispered softly, "Ambulance."
Xi Mo's pupils shrank, and two seconds later the phone interface changed to an ambulance alarm number, which she dialed the next second. Xi Mo gave the address, and regained her composure five seconds later.
Xiu Yangui stood in front of Xi Mo, not rushing forward and not letting her see the situation in front.
There was no one else on the first floor. They probably ran to the second floor. When Xiu Yangui turned around, Xi Mo had already called the police.
Xi Mo's face was calm and composed, and her voice was steady and calm when she gave the address, but the hand holding the phone was trembling slightly, and only Xiu Yangui, who was close to her, could feel the coldness of her body.
Xiu Yangui's heart felt like it was hit by a thrown stone, and pain suddenly swept through his brain. He used to hope that Xi Mo could be a little more timid, but now he found that he was extremely wrong. He now hoped that she could be stronger, strong enough to face all accidents calmly and take all injuries calmly.
He carefully held Xi Mo in his arms, carried her out, and locked the door from the outside. "Auntie Lin will be fine. The ambulance and police car will be here soon."
"We'll just stand here and guard it, and not even a fly can fly out."
"We both need to protect our own safety first while waiting for professionals to come to rescue us."
"We won't destroy the scene. We'll protect all the clues, give Aunt Lin an explanation, and make that person pay the price."
"Xi Momo, talk to me, don't scare me."
"Say something."
The boy's clear and pleasant voice was cautious and trembling. He was afraid, not afraid of the case happening in the house, but afraid of Xi Mo's mental state at the moment.
Xi Mo buried herself in Xiu Yangui's chest, listening to his voice and heartbeat. Her body temperature returned to normal, but she didn't want to speak. She could only muffle her response, "Yeah."
It took only six minutes from the time Xiu Yangui discovered that Aunt Lin had been murdered to the time the ambulance and police car arrived at the scene. Aunt Lin was still slightly conscious when she was lifted onto a stretcher by medical staff. She saw Xi Mo standing beside her with a pale face and looked at her with gentle and guilty eyes. She was then sent to the hospital for treatment.
Lin Baozu was found by the police in an empty room on the second floor. He was hiding under the table holding a vase, trembling with fear.
He was only twenty years old and had been spoiled by his family. He had never suffered any hardship. He lost his mind when he was angry. Now that he had come to his senses, he knew that his life was over.
Not only did he have to spend his entire life in prison, but a month after he was imprisoned, he also lost his hands and feet, becoming a disabled person who could only cry, scream, and suffer from incontinence. And that was not all, as people came to insult and beat him every day.
When he was beaten unconscious, he saw another self in the world, lying on the ground in a dishevel and dirt. In the messy and disorderly crowd, there was a pair of peach blossom eyes, staring at him sinisterly and cruelly, sending him to a miserable hell.
In a daze, he seemed to have lived two lives, and the previous life was just like this one, miserable and helpless.
Fortunately, Lin Xiu was fine in this life. The first thing she said after waking up was to ask how Xi Mo was and whether she had a high fever.
But when Xi Mo had a high fever, Lin Xiu was still unconscious in the ICU. She shouldn't have known about this, but she knew Xi Mo was having a fever as soon as she opened her eyes.
Lin Xiu also said that when Lin Baozu was holding the vase to hit her, she felt a magical force that pushed her to the side, avoiding what should have been a fatal blow from Lin Baozu. Perhaps it was destined.
After the incident, Xi Yicheng and Ruan Wenwen returned home and took care of Xi Mo personally, handling all matters as they did in their previous life, and bringing the matter to a perfect end.
There is also Xiu Yangui. Originally, Xiu Yangui didn't want to be as ruthless and violent as the one in the dream, but Xi Mo started to have a high fever after that day, so he had to take leave and rest at home. He didn't come to class for a week.
He decided to follow the method in his dream, but this time he did not plan to do it himself. Instead, he would hire someone to do it, so that he could achieve his goal without dirtying his own people.
I didn't expect so many things to happen in just a few days. Xi Mo couldn't come to school, and Xiu Yangui also knew the recent news circulating in the school.
During morning exercises, Xiu Changle came to him specifically and said that he did not do it.
Xiu Yangui smiled knowingly. He believed that it was not Xiu Changle who did it. After all, Xiu Shangzhu was watching them in secret. Xiu Changle would not dare to disobey his father. In addition, as the son of the original wife, if Xiu Changle did such a despicable thing and tried to destroy his half-brother, it would be too embarrassing and would also affect the stocks of Xiu Group.
Xiu Yangui's way of dealing with those rumors was to just ignore them, Xiu Changle had a similar idea, and now in class they acted as if they had never met before.
Xiu Changle shook his head at the curiosity of others, indicating that he knew nothing and hoped that everyone would focus on their studies. Needless to say, Xiu Yangui was even worse. When asked about it by others, he would sometimes admit it with a smile, and sometimes deny it with a smile, leaving those people confused.
Even though both parties ignored the news, the discussions in the school continued to intensify, as if there was a big hand behind the scenes manipulating it.
