After solving the case, Jian Jing's worries disappeared and she slept for a long time. She didn't get up until ten o'clock in the morning.

The sky outside was clear and incomparable, the sunshine was so beautiful that it made people intoxicated. The spring breeze blew on her face, which was so comfortable that she wanted to go out for a walk immediately.

Jian Jing had intended to avoid the Jiang family's internal affairs. She wanted to pack her luggage and leave directly, but she thought about it. The three brothers and sisters of the Jiang family were sticking together, Jiang Xue and her daughter supported each other, and even Jiang Yue, who was also an outsider, had Secretary Fan to help her. Only Jiang Baiyan was alone, and none of the agents who were usually capable of fighting were there. It was really too miserable.

So she decided to pretend to be deaf and dumb and not leave for the time being, which would make others a little cautious.

So she specially called the nanny and said hello, saying that she was going out to play a few scenic spots and would definitely come back in the evening, so "tell Jiang Xun not to run around."

"If he's missing, I'll be very distressed." Jian Jing specifically asked her to pass on the message.

The nanny didn't know what this sentence meant when translated - don't kidnap me and put me under house arrest - so she agreed very enthusiastically.

Jian Jing then went out.

The local area is indeed a famous tourist city. The weather has been neither hot nor cold these days, which is comfortable for tourism. There are many people.

Jian Jing had no sense of being a public figure. She didn't wear sunglasses or a mask, and walked on the roadside to enjoy the scenery.

At first, there were only a few people who looked at her frequently, but she didn't care. Later, two girls had the courage to ask directly: "Is it Teacher Jian?"

Jian Jing nodded and smiled.

They immediately asked in a cautious but extremely eager tone if they could take a photo together.

It was not a big deal, so she naturally agreed.

Then it got out of control.

"Rose Gold" is still in theaters, and with such a high box office, there are only a handful of people who haven't heard of it. Young people may not watch mystery movies, but the previous "Haunted Mansion" was a very popular variety show, and they more or less remember her face.

If you meet a celebrity on the street, even if you are not a fan, it is not a loss to take a photo with her.

Everyone stopped and lined up to take photos.

The crowded crowd attracted the attention of other passers-by.

The real bystanders didn't recognize who she was, but seeing so many people asking for a photo, their first reaction was that some star had come.

So "swipe", they all rushed up, and each of them raised their mobile phones to take photos or videos.

Among them were many grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, and aunts.

They discussed her loudly while queuing.

"She played the second female lead in XXX!"

"No, she's the one who recently participated in the talent show, the show my girlfriend watched, what group."

"What are you looking at, she's the one in the recent costume drama, the very beautiful one."

"Aunt, she's a writer, the author of the movie Rose Gold."

"Oh, oh, oh, I know, it's the female writer who writes love novels."

Jian Jing: "..."

She was surrounded and couldn't break out.

"I'm sorry." She decisively rejected the request of the people behind her, "I'm catching the plane, make way."

The agility of the character panel has never been so important. Jian Jing dodged here and there, flexibly shuttled through the crowd, and finally escaped with great effort.

She immediately bought a hat on the street that was specially used to rip off tourists.

Thinking that it was not safe, she rushed into the convenience store and bought a pink mask to wear.

Clean.

This is the side effect of the "quite famous" reputation, sweet and annoying.

There were too many people at the tourist attraction, so she took a quick tour and took a taxi straight to the local gourmet restaurant.

The food was okay, with a bit of fame as an added ingredient, not particularly stunning, but the service and environment were remarkable, and the overall score was above passing.

After eating, run to another attraction.

Continue to check in.

Done.

Today is a very touristy day.

Jane Jing returned to the Jiang family villa with satisfaction and regret, and then had a big meal.

These days, the whole villa is brightly lit, and the light does not stop until late at night. The windows reflect the figures of people walking around, and it is so lively and noisy that it seems that conflicts can break out at any time.

But at this moment, she found that the lights in other rooms were all off, and only one light was on in the public area. The Jiang family members who were still on edge last night were nowhere to be seen.

The air was no longer filled with the smell of cigarettes and strong tea, and the sound of high heels could no longer be heard in the corridor.

In the huge villa, there was only the old nanny.

"Where are the others?" Jian Jing suddenly felt that she had been gone for ten days or half a month.

The old nanny shook her head and sighed: "They are all gone."

"Where did they go?"

She said: "I don't know, anyway, they are all gone." She added, "Xiao Xun is in his father's room."

Jian Jing was very surprised and went upstairs to find Jiang Baiyan.

He was indeed in the chairman's bedroom, which was the room with the best view in the whole villa, and the extra-large terrace that came with it faced the lake and the peach forest.

Jiang Baiyan was lying on the recliner on the terrace, swaying from time to time like a retired old man.

"Are they all gone?" she asked.

Jiang Baiyan said lazily, "After dividing the spoils, of course they went back to their own homes and their own mothers." Jian Jing

glanced at him and felt that he was not in a good mood.

"So soon." Taking advantage of the fact that he was lying down and couldn't get up, she touched his head mercilessly.

Jiang Baiyan yawned and said, "Of course it wasn't that fast at first. If you don't shoot forty episodes for a wealthy family's inheritance battle, it would be a waste. But isn't the situation special? They almost lost everything, so things are much simpler."

Jian Jing was curious about what kind of deal they had reached, but after thinking about it, it was ultimately the privacy of the wealthy family, so she didn't ask.

But he took the initiative to speak: "Yesterday, he was busy until more than three o'clock, and today was another whole day. In the end, they all said that he died of illness. Anyway, it's hard to say whether it was morphine or oxygen machine... Anyway, the chairman himself doesn't care."

The last sentence inevitably shone with mockery.

Jian Jing also sighed, as a father, it was really amazing.

"But I did make a profit after all." Jiang Baiyan rested his head on his arm and looked at the stars in the distance. "In the chairman's plan, I should have been the loser."

Jian Jing fell silent.

Yes, according to the chairman's original plan, the six children would join forces, and the scapegoat who would be squeezed out in the end would most likely be the helpless Jiang Baiyan.

He had been away from home for ten years and knew nothing about the situation at home. He also had no help from Mrs. Jiang and Secretary Fan. The only value of his existence was to become an "enemy" and force the other five children to form an alliance.

Is this the truth behind

why he was called back? "What am I?" he asked.

Jian Jing could not answer.

"Jiang Ou said that he doesn't believe that I'm the only innocent one in this incident." Jiang Baiyan suddenly said, "Jingjing, what do you think?"

Jian Jing thought for a long time before saying, "Maybe."

Jiang Baiyan: "What do you mean by maybe?"

"It means that I believe you didn't do it, but..." She turned her gaze back to his face, "You hid something from me."

"Eh--" He smiled, which was very different from his usual appearance. His tone was still so well-behaved, but his tone was cold, like a quiet lake under the night sky, no longer as gentle and lovely as in the daytime. "What is it?" Jian Jing

: "I don't know. It's hard for me to tell when you're lying."

Jiang Baiyan sighed softly and said, "It's actually very simple. When the chairman was alive, no matter how Jiang Lian and the others were wary of me, he could still meet with me alone. We talked a lot."

"He asked me why I wanted to act," he paused and said nonchalantly, "I said, because no one liked me since I was a child, and I wanted to be liked by many people."

This is completely different from what he said before, but Jian Jing thought that perhaps both times were true.

"The chairman said that I can firmly choose what I want to do, which is much better than Jiang Ou. He always wants to do this and that. Every time he says he wants to do investment, but in fact he always gives up halfway."

Jian Jing smiled: "You must have been very happy at that time."

"Of course." Jiang Baiyan said, slowly sitting up from the rocking chair and sitting cross-legged. "He also said that he watched the movie I acted in and thought it was very good, so he asked the company to book the theater and invite all employees to watch it. This should be true. I asked the driver and secretary, and they said they all went and the movie was very good, but..."

He turned his head and said word by word: "It was all to deceive me."

Jian Jing was stunned.

"He told me to do whatever I wanted, and that I was his son and he would not treat me unfairly." He said slowly, "For a moment, I believed it."

"Then what?"

"Didn't I say that I met him before seven o'clock on the afternoon of his death?" Jiang Baiyan said, "The chairman asked me to see him at twelve o'clock in the evening. He had something to give me."

Jian Jing was shocked and couldn't believe it.

"I find it very strange, very, very strange." Jiang Baiyan said coldly, "It's normal for a person to suddenly feel guilty and want to compensate his son before he dies, but why is he suddenly so good to me?"

"The chairman can't be so good to me. He never cared about me before. Why is he treating me differently when he is dying? Jiang Lian and others went to look for him, but sometimes he was nowhere to be seen, but asked Secretary Fan to find me alone.

"Now I understand, Secretary Fan knew it, and Jiang Yue knew it, and when he died - whether someone did it or he died on his own - I would be the most suitable scapegoat. "

Jane Jing pursed her lips.

She originally thought that this was a multiple-choice question. If others were not greedy and did not take action, everyone could get a reasonable share. Unexpectedly, she was wrong. How could the chairman allow such a "good" ending?

No one took action, and the group's shares were scattered in the hands of six people, and there would inevitably be conflicts.

Yes, he is a dictator and a tyrant. He does not leave any room for his children to oppose.

This is the most reasonable explanation.

But she still comforted him: "Maybe he just wants to know more about you."

"No, the chairman already knows me well enough." Jiang Baiyan said slowly, "I am the only dog ​​in a litter of wolf cubs. "

He said, "The lotus is pure, the unicorn is auspicious, the seagull is free, the moon and snow are also beautiful things, but Jiang Xun is the only one who has nothing."

Xun means the edge of the water, and Jiang Xun is the edge of the river.

What is by the river? Nothing.

Not even flowers or grass, cats or dogs.

Jiang Baiyan laughed briefly, and said, "Lawyer Cai gave me a letter, saying that only those who have the inheritance rights can read it, so they don't know - the letter contains the monitoring account and password, and a sentence."

He slowly read out the line of words: "The truth is not important, the answer you recognize is reality."

Jian Jing was silent.

"He is telling Jiang Qi and the others that it doesn't matter whether I'm a bad person or not, my existence is to complete his plan. "Jiang Baiyan said, "It's just like the plot in a Japanese drama, where a group of people made the same mistake and kept it secret and didn't tell anyone."

"The chairman is great. Although he never cared about me, he really knows me. Unless there is an accident, I will go." The words were very uncomfortable, but Jiang Baiyan's mood was very stable. "I rarely have the opportunity to talk to the chairman alone. Very rarely. When I lived with my mother, he didn't come often. When I came to the Jiang family, Jiang Lian and the others didn't allow me to talk to him much. It was rare for me to call him 'Dad' when I met him. "

How could a child who had never received his father's love refuse such an opportunity?

Yes, the chairman had no choice. He would go even if he felt strange, and spend more time with his father to listen to him praising himself, recognizing himself, and caring about himself.

"So it's me. Only a poor bug like me will be fooled. Moreover, even if I know the truth, I won't hate him." He covered his face and laughed at himself. "I am willing to use money to exchange for his love. He has never liked me-this is the only time he likes me."

Jian Jing finally couldn't help it: "Don't say it."

Jiang Baiyan laughed instead and lay back in the rocking chair: "Don't be sad, it's just talk. Look, this beautiful place belongs to me now."

He raised his head and said softly: "It's good to have money. I have brothers and sisters now."
