Chapter 144 The Arrangement Ten Years Ago (1/2)

Jiang Quanyu spread out his hands. ”Are you angry?”

”Not really.” A Miao gave him a blank look. ”It's just so unexpected.”

She thought Shen Xinglan was still abroad, she did not expect that he had come back...

”I didn't know until a few days ago.” Jiang Quanyu apologized. ”I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just didn't want to mention his name to you.”

A Miao smiled. ”I don't blame you, but... I can't just suddenly digest it.”

”Rest assured.” Jiang Quanyu patted her hand. ”If you really don't want to be with him, I won't let him come near you.”

A Miao bowed her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, ”I have an idea...”

At the same time, Shen I was beaming as he stood inside Shen Xinglan's office.

”Boss, the young lady's plane will arrive soon.”

Shen Xinglan shook his fist. He was actually very nervous. After waiting for three years, he would be able to stand in front of A Miao very soon. He had already decided that no matter how angry A Miao was, he would take any punishment as long as she would return to his side.

”Brother Xinglan!” The door of the office was pushed open and Shanshan came in smiling.

As Shen I secretly curled his lip and stepped aside, Shen Xinglan looked like at her as if she were a stranger. ”Why didn't you knock on the door again?”

”Oh! I forgot.” Shanshan stuck out her tongue. ”Sorry, I've come to show you this project.” She put a blue folder on Shen Xinglan's desk.

Shen Xinglan picked it up and took a look at it. ”Has it passed?”

”Mmm!” Shanshan happily said, ”This is the first time I have planned it myself from beginning to end!”

”Not bad, it can start next month.” Shen Xinglan handed her back the document.

As Shanshan looked at his indifferent appearance, she became a little disappointed. But since A Miao had left, Shen Xinglan had always been like this, except to Le Yi and his friends, who could occasionally see him smile...

”Brother Xinglan, let's have dinner together tonight!”

”I have something to do tonight, so eat by yourself.” As Shen Xinglan said that, he did not even look at her. ”Shen I, send her out.”

With red eyes, Shanshan bit her lip and went out. As soon as Shen I closed the door, his face had a fierce look.

”Boss, you'll just keep her?”

After a full investigation that took more than a year, Shen I had discovered some clues. The orphanage was located in a small village and the entire village had less than 100 people. Everyone knew the seven or eight children who were in the orphanage.

Speaking about Shanshan, people commented on her that she was a beautiful and lovely girl, they also said that she had been taken away by her rich relatives and they did not know how she was doing now.

He was determined to prove that there was something wrong with Shanshan, so he rented a house to live in and told the public that he was looking for his uncle, who had been sent to the orphanage. As time went by, he and the neighbors in the village got familiar with each other.

One day, he was wandering in the east part of the village when a man suddenly rushed out.

”Ah... ah!” The man grabbed the bag in Shen I's hand, in which was the roast chicken he had just bought.

Shen I pushed him aside. ”What are you doing?”

”Ah, ah ah...” The man fell to the ground, still staring at the bag full of chicken.

”Do you want to eat?” Shen I squatted down and looked carefully at his eyes. The man was dirty, even his facial features were dirty and could not be seen clearly.

When the man heard Shen I ask him, he quickly nodded. ”Ah, ah!”

”Here you are.” Shen I handed the bag over.

Suddenly, another man jumped out and grabbed the bag.

”Ah, ah...” The man who wanted to eat the roast chicken seemed afraid of him, and he immediately shrunk to the ground and did not move.

Seeing that, Shen I knew it was Old Zhao Liu, who raised pigs in the village.

”Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu!” Old Zhao Liu handed the bag back and said sorry to him with an apologetic face. ”This is my nephew. He is mute and has a brain problem. Did he scare you?”

Liu Wei was the pseudonym Shen I used once he arrived here.

”Your nephew!” He took the bag and handed it to the mute. ”It's okay, give it to him.”

Old Zhao Liu pulled the mute from the ground. ”Who let you run out? Thank Mr. Liu for his kindness, eat quickly!” After that, he turned to ask, ”I heard everyone say that Mr. Liu came here to the orphanage to find someone.”

”Yes, to find my uncle.” Shen I looked disconsolate. ”It's a pity that people don't know what happened decades ago.”

”Yes, it's been so long.” Old Zhao Liu also sighed, then chatted with him for a few words and left with the mute.

Shen I looked at their backs and thought, ”How come I've never heard of Old Zhao Liu having a nephew...”

In the evening, as usual, he reported the situation to Shen Xinglan.

”Boss, I discovered a very strange situation. The people in this village never leave. They grow their own vegetables and raise their own chickens, which is almost a state of isolation from the world. I went to the county seat to ask about it. For more than 10 years, there has been no registration of any foreign population. When the children grow up, they do not leave to go to school either. They stay and work in the village.”

On the other end of the phone, Shen Xinglan looked somber and pondered for a moment. ”It seems that my suspicion was correct. Continue looking. Anything that has been there will definitely have left a trace.”
