Lan Xuegui's nose turned slightly red. She didn't want to cry, but she was frightened by the thunderbolt just now. The physiological fear plus the thought of bad things made her emotions unable to be controlled for a while.
She looked at Qin Qiushi, who was originally one meter away from her, and walked towards her, crying, "What's wrong? Mr. Qin."
Her voice was soft and a little tender, as if she was acting coquettishly to him because she had just cried. Qin Qiushi's throat choked and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.
"Nothing."
He wanted to ask her why she was crying, but he swallowed the words back. He thought that he and she were not that close. Lan Xuegui said "Oh", then turned around, took out a tissue from her bag and wiped her face.
After a while, the rain gradually subsided.
Lan Xuegui was about to take Qin Qiushi away when she suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures walking stealthily in a certain direction.
Qin Qiushi also looked in the direction of her sight and saw two people carrying a bucket and rushing towards a wall.
Lan Xuegui shouted, "What are you doing?" and ran towards them.
Qin Qiushi also hurriedly followed. When the two men saw someone coming, they quickly dropped the paint in their hands and ran away.
Lan Xuegui looked at the red paint bucket under her feet and suddenly remembered the recent rumors that several buildings were haunted. Now it seemed that it might be man-made.
Just as they were about to take the paint bucket away, the door of the building opened from the inside and a figure walked out.
"Xuegui, why are you here? Who is this?" Grandma Song asked curiously when she looked at Qin Qiushi, who was handsome and good-looking beside Lan Xuegui.
Then he noticed the paint bucket at Lan Xuegui's feet and his expression changed. "What is this?"
"Hello, Grandma Song. I just came back from get off work. When I was hiding from the rain over there, I saw two people sneaking around outside your house, so I ran over and saw this." Lan Xuegui told the truth, but did not answer her subsequent question.
When Grandma Song heard this, she was amazed at how could a person over sixty years old not understand the reason.
She hunched over, slapped her thighs with her hands, and cried out, "These real estate people really deserve a miserable death! In order to drive us away, they really did everything they could. All they care about is money!"
"So the current rumors about ghosts are all made up by these black-hearted capitalists. No, you have to talk to them too!"
Grandma Song immediately perked up and stopped planning to buy ice cream for her grandson. She turned around and prepared to go back.
She said to Lan Xuegui, "Good boy, thank you so much, but if you encounter such a thing in the future, don't go forward alone. They may do anything for money."
Lan Xuegui nodded, "Okay, Grandma Song, I will pay attention to it in the future."
Lan Xuegui watched Grandma Song close the door, and she and Qin Qiushi picked up the paint bucket and threw it next to the trash can.
On the way back, Lan Xuegui looked at Qin Qiushi's profile and suddenly said, "Grandma Song has been very good to you since you were a child. Since you and your father passed away, your mother had to lock you up in the room in order to earn money to support you and your brother."
She paused and continued, "Sometimes my mother would go out to work and come back very late, but when Grandma Song was free, she would guard the door of my house and chat with me, so that I wouldn't be so scared."
"I would bring food to them from time to time, but I heard recently that this place was demolished and a new building was built, and the residents here were driven away."
"What's even worse is that the demolition compensation these capitalists gave was very little, not even enough for them to buy new houses outside!"
Suddenly, Lan Xuegui stopped and turned to look at Qin Qiushi. "What a coincidence! I heard that the real estate owner who is demolishing the house is also named Qin."
Qin Qiushi frowned slightly, and the company's first half plan flashed through his mind. It seemed that there was a real estate plan, but that plan seemed to be handed over to his adopted brother.
Thinking of this possibility, Qin Qiushi's eyes deepened.
Lan Xuegui looked at Qin Qiushi's expression and quickly explained, "Mr. Qin, I don't mean to scold you, please don't misunderstand me."
Qin Qiushi, "..."
Then he heard her continue, "But what that Qin guy did was really not decent enough!"
He tilted his head and saw that she had an angry look on her face, as if she wanted to kill that person if she saw him in person.
As the two were talking, they arrived at Lan Xuegui's home.
Qin Qiushi looked at the wall in front of him that was covered with electric wires. The wall was also covered with various papers with all kinds of messages on them.
There are people who rent houses, people who cure cancer with their ancestral secrets, and people who specialize in curing infertility...
I walked in through the gate between the walls and saw the house inside. The corridor was quite old, and I could vaguely see traces of years left on the ground.
Just as he looked away, he actually saw a mouse running past him.
Qin Qiushi couldn't help but frown. How could someone live in such a shabby place?
Lan Xuegui frowned when she saw him staring at the person behind her. She thought he disliked the place where she lived, and she felt embarrassed.
But the next moment she quickly adjusted her mood. Although this place was a bit shabby, it was where their family of three had lived for a long time.
She hesitated for a while, then said to Qin Qiushi, "Thank you for sending me back. I'll go in first."
As she spoke, she pointed behind herself.
Qin Qiushi could tell that she had no intention of inviting him in, so he wouldn't make himself unhappy. Anyway, he would only send her home because of what his grandmother said.
"You go in, I'm leaving."
Lan Xuegui turned around and walked in. Qin Qiushi looked at her from behind, his eyes slightly narrowed. He stood there for a long while before turning around and leaving.
After leaving, he took out his cell phone and called Assistant Liu, asking him to investigate the demolition matter that Lan Xuegui had just mentioned. If it was really what he thought, he would deal with him mercilessly.
…
In the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, a hot search about #順東뀘毒饮# was quietly rising.
The first content in the hot search is a video of only a few seconds.
The title is very eye-catching: Shocking! Someone passed out after drinking a certain brand of beverage!
All of a sudden, many night owls on the Internet crawled over along the network cable, and after watching the content of the video, they left comments below. For a while, the word #explosive# gradually appeared after the hot search.
Lan Xuegui, who was soundly asleep, knew nothing about this.
The next day, Lan Xuegui was awakened by a series of rapid cell phone rings.
She picked up her phone with sleepy eyes and saw that it was her phone call, which made her sleepiness disappear by half.
"Hey, Boss."
Lan Xuegui jumped up immediately when she heard the voice on the other end of the phone, "What? Okay, okay, I'll go to the company right now!"
After hanging up the phone, Lan Xuegui hurriedly changed her clothes, said something to her mother Lan who had gotten up early to prepare breakfast, and left in a hurry.
On the way to the company, Lan Xuegui opened Weibo and saw the name of her company on the first trending search. She clicked on it with shaking hands and saw the video of Fan Zimo fainting yesterday.
She opened the video and saw the comments, which were full of insults.
[Oh my god, what kind of drink is this? I fainted after just one sip. Is this person dead?]
[Doesn't the current Food Administration come out to supervise? How come everyone can start a company? 】
[@Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, why don’t you come out and take care of this? ]
[Avoid this brand of drinks in the future, your life is at stake! 】
【The above speaker seconded the proposal.】
There are even more comments, all of which say that the company called Lightning Protection is so vicious that it actually murdered people.
Lan Xuegui's face turned pale, and he flipped through the comments more and more anxiously.
