Chapter 86: Pretty Widow 8: The Beautiful Widow Who Kills Her Husband
"The hospital has already sent people to handle it. They'll probably be transferred there this afternoon. As for the police..."
"I understand. I'll have to trouble you, Doctor, to take care of the next thing."
"Uncle Chen, you don't have to be polite to me. Over the years, I have always..."
The two people in the room spoke quietly, and Wu Lan didn't hear it clearly. She only vaguely heard words like hospital and police.
When I wanted to listen carefully, they had already changed the subject and were talking about the Li brothers.
"Ma'am, why are you here?"
The servant's voice sounded behind them, and the conversation between the two people in the room came to an abrupt end.
Wu Lan's face showed a hint of embarrassment and bewilderment. Looking at the servant walking towards him, he tried to remain calm and said, "Nothing, just going back to my room to get something."
"But ma'am, your room is not in..."
"What's wrong?"
The door in front of him was opened, and the housekeeper frowned slightly when he saw Wu Lan and the servants standing outside.
Feeling everyone's gazes on her, Wu Lan blushed slightly and lowered her head to explain, "I was going back to my room to get my phone and just happened to pass by here."
"Xiao Xu, go get Madam's phone."
"OK."
Seeing the servant walk away, Wu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Chen, what were you and Doctor Xie talking about?"
Something flashed across the butler's eyes. He smiled gently and said, "Just to talk about Master Che's injury."
"It's strange to say, this morning Master Che was found unconscious downstairs, and after waking up he had no recollection of fainting at all.
"We were just discussing whether or not to have Young Master Che go to the hospital for a thorough checkup. But judging by Young Master Che's attitude, he doesn't seem to want to go."
Speaking of Li Yiche, Wu Lan immediately thought of the scene last night when Li Yiche caught him when he was not paying attention.
"Madam, do you know what Master Che did downstairs last night?"
Hearing the question, Wu Lan shook his head stiffly, "No, I don't know."
Last night he just asked Li Yi Che to carry him back to his room, but after that, he didn't know why Li Yi Che went back to the first floor.
He was clearly telling the truth, but his unsteady eyes and trembling eyelashes made him look quite suspicious.
Xie Anqin took Wu Lan's strange expression into his eyes and said softly, "Madam, you look a little pale. Do you need me to take a look at you?"
Wu Lan looked at Xie Anqin who suddenly spoke. She always felt that his gentle eyes could see through people. Subconsciously, she didn't want to have too much contact with him: "No, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."
"Ma'am, your cell phone."
The maid brought the phone over and said, "I see the laundry basket in the cloakroom is full. I'll take it to the laundry room for you to wash right away."
"Trouble."
The appearance of the servant just interrupted the conversation. Wu Lan took the phone, left a message, and turned away under the gaze of several people.
"The weather feels nice today. I'm going to take a walk in the garden."
It wasn't until he walked down the stairs that he felt the gazes on him disappear.
Passing by the restaurant, Wu Lan saw Li Yiche eating breakfast, while Li Chensen was still sitting next to him, reading the newspaper and drinking coffee.
Behind the two of them stood a tall man, but no one could see him.
Shen Yulin looked at the two brothers of the Li family hesitantly, and his gaze stayed on Li Yiche for longer.
After carrying Wu Lan back to the room last night, he was locked outside.
I wanted to tell Wu Lan that his soul was always there, but I was worried that it would scare people, so I had to keep silent for the time being.
He wanted to use Li Yiche's body to do something, but for some reason, controlling Li Yiche's body became extremely difficult. He could clearly feel that Li Yiche's soul was fighting with him for control.
Soon, his soul was squeezed out of Li Yiche's body.
After Li Yiche regained control of his body, he was only conscious for a second and soon fainted on the ground. He was not discovered by the servants until this morning.
After Li Yiche fainted, Shen Yulin kept trying to enter his body again, but every attempt ended in failure.
Soon, he shifted his target to Li Chensen.
But after trying several times, his soul could only pass through the bodies of the two people and could not enter their bodies directly.
After trying it one last time, Shen Yulin determined that this was a probabilistic event and that certain conditions might need to be met to succeed.
"Brother, are you cold?"
Li Yiche accidentally pulled at his wound and hissed in pain. He glanced at the windows and said, "Strange, the windows aren't open. Where is the cold wind coming from?"
"fine."
Li Chensen folded the newspaper, picked up his coffee and took a sip, then asked, "What were you doing on the first floor last night? Why did you faint?"
"I don't know. I have no impression at all."
Li Yiche also wanted to know why he fainted.
His only memory was holding Wu Lan in his arms, and when he was questioning why his beautiful sister-in-law looked like a boy, he lost consciousness.
I was awake for a few seconds in between, but I have no recollection of it at all. It was quite strange.
He grabbed a handful of hair casually, and his face looked a little unnatural when he thought about Wu Lan seeing him in such a miserable state.
Li Chensen glanced at him calmly and said, "You fainted at such a young age. Your body is too weak. Go and get some nourishment."
Hearing this, Li Yiche was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He immediately looked around and didn't see Wu Lan. Then he lowered his voice and warned: "My body is not weak, don't tell anyone nonsense!!"
Li Chensen raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
"Did you hear that?"
Li Chensen ignored him, stood up and walked towards the direction Wu Lan had just left, no longer paying attention to Li Yiche who was jumping in anger behind him.
Looking at Li Chensen's back, Shen Yulin narrowed his eyes and quickly followed him.
*
[System, I feel like Uncle Chen and Doctor Xie are hiding something.]
Wu Lan talked as she walked, opened the glass door to the garden, and took a deep breath of fresh air.
It had just rained in the early morning, and the air in the garden was mixed with the scent of moist grass and the faint fragrance of flowers, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
2720【Why do you say that?】
[Because when I was testing them just now, they avoided the main point and talked about Li Yiche!]
Wu Lan seemed to have made a major discovery, patiently highlighting the key points for the clueless 2720. "But I clearly heard them start by talking about Shen Yulin and even mentioned his health and so on."
【I think there's something weird going on here!】
2720 suddenly asked, "So what are your plans now?"
Wu Lan was stunned by the question.
He hasn't decided what to do yet.
For some reason, he didn't want to have too much contact with the doctor named Xie, which meant he could only learn about the situation from the housekeeper.
Wu Lan thought carefully and said, "I'll talk to Uncle Chen later."
2720 This is the first time I know that Wu Lan can trick others into talking. It’s really rare.
Although the system didn't say anything, Wu Lan keenly sensed something was wrong from the pause of a few seconds.
He frowned, his cheeks puffing up in anger.
【2720! 】
He addressed the system by name, hands on hips, like a puffed-up kitten. "Don't underestimate me! I'm really good at tricking people!"
2720 paused unnaturally. [I don't think you're inferior. I just didn't expect you to be such a skilled tactician. It's all my fault for being so short-sighted.]
【sorry. 】
After receiving 2720's sincere apology, Wu Lan pursed her lips and snorted softly, then forgave him good-temperedly.
Suddenly, a bottle rolled over to my feet.
Wu Lan had just picked it up when he saw the young man named Xiao Hao walking towards him anxiously, "Sorry, sorry, this is mine."
After handing the hydrogen peroxide in his hand to the other party, Wu Lan realized that this person had been here all the time. There was a medical box and some medical drugs on the table not far away.
"I'm here sorting out my medicine cabinet. Sorry to bother you."
Yin Hao looked at the girl with long hair in front of him, his gaze lingering on her snow-white face for a long time, and he was stunned.
Just then a breeze blew, and he faintly smelled a sweet fragrance mixed with the scent of grass, which was inhaled into his nostrils.
He didn't notice that his face was flushed and his throat was rolling up and down.
Wu Lan was also looking at the other person.
They had just met in the living room, when he was helping Li Yiche with his wounds. Yin Hao was half-crouching at the time, so he hadn't expected the other person to be so tall when he stood up straight.
It seemed like every man he met in every world was not short, almost a head taller than him.
"Your name is Xiaohao, right?"
Qingyue's soft voice was particularly pleasant to the ear. Yin Hao woke up from his daze and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, my name is Yin Hao, and they all call me Xiaohao."
"I'm Dr. Xie's assistant, and I'm single."
"?"
Wu Lan felt that Yin Hao's self-introduction was a little strange. He looked at Yin Hao strangely and asked, "Why are you organizing here?"
"I was worried about disturbing them inside, so I came out to clean up." Yin Hao answered almost every question. "Doctor Xie asked me to wait for him. He is talking to the housekeeper."
Wu Lan was just about to ask Yin Hao more questions when she heard someone coming out the next second.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to give up his thoughts.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"
From Li Chensen's perspective, his beautiful sister-in-law was standing with the tall young man. The two were a little close to each other and looked like they were whispering.
"Nothing, just a quick chat."
As soon as Wu Lan finished speaking, he felt the temperature around him seemed to drop, and something cool was touching his waist.
Shen Yulin lowered his eyes and stared coldly at the young man in front of him. He put his big hands on Wu Lan's waist, as if he was declaring his sovereignty.
It’s a pity that no one can see it.
But Yin Hao clearly felt as if he was being stared at. The venomous gaze made his back chill and his heart beat faster.
Suddenly I remembered that the male owner of this house had just passed away, and I didn’t know if the first seven days had passed. I felt inexplicably weak in my heart and cold sweat broke out on my ears.
"Xiaohao, you can go now."
A cold voice interrupted, Wu Lan looked over and found Xie Anqin standing by the glass door.
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
Yin Hao came to his senses and quickly put the medicines on the table into the medicine box. After saying goodbye to Wu Lan and Li Chensen, he hurriedly left with Xie Anqin.
The glass door was closed, and the only two living people left in the garden were Wu Lan and Li Chensen, and the soul of Shen Yulin, which no one could see.
Li Chensen walked to Wu Lan and naturally helped her tidy up her hair that was messed up by the breeze. He didn't feel that this action was too intimate for the two of them.
Shen Yulin looked at Li Chensen's actions coldly, the coldness in his eyes was like a storm.
"Sister-in-law, let me remind you not to get so close to strange men."
Li Chensen gently tucked the black hair behind Wu Lan's ear, and his slender fingers gently stroked the fair and small earlobe. His fingertips touched Wu Lan's cheek and lifted her chin.
"My eldest brother just passed away. If I saw you being entangled with a wild man outside, I think he would die with regrets."
He paused, then changed the subject: "But if you really want to find a man, you can consider me."
