Chapter 42 Meeting
Chapter 42 Meeting
When Bai Yanliang woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
He did not go out this morning. Instead, he stayed in the hotel and carefully sorted out his brother's belongings.
Bai Yanren is a private detective. Bai Yanliang thought about it carefully and found that he actually knew very little about his brother. He only remembered that Yanren often went out for several days, but he would always give a sum of money to the landlord's aunt. Help take care of yourself, although Bai Yanliang feels that he doesn't need any care.
Looking through the documents saved by Yang Wanlong, Bai Yanliang could not find anything valuable in them.
Most of these documents are contracts signed with clients. Some are for investigating infidelity, hiring people to find relatives, legally collecting debts, and some are looking for cats and dogs. Generally speaking, they are very ordinary and normal private detective work. .
But... such a normal Bai Yan, he actually left a strange silver key in his relics.
And that key can open the door to Wuji.
Where is the foggy place?
Although he has already experienced a mission, Bai Yanliang still has no clue about it. He doesn't even know what impact it will have on the real world if he returns to the real past world. If... it can really have an impact on reality, the time and space paradox involved would be too complicated.
But, if it can't have an impact, what is Wuji's purpose in sending people like himself to that strange time and space?
He didn't think it was just a joke made by some unknown being out of boredom.
If that kind of existence really existed, humans might not even be qualified as toys.
Bai Yanliang sorted out all Yanren's documents and quietly looked out the window.
In short, he has entered Wuji. According to Zhou Li, the next time he will enter again will be in a month.
As long as I can continue to live, one day I will be able to know everything, and one day I will find out the truth behind Yan Ren’s death...
He would make whatever killed Yanren pay the heaviest price, no matter who the other party... was.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Bai Yanliang took a shower, changed a set of clothes, had lunch slowly, and went out for the appointment.
The hotel he currently lives in is near Rongqiao Tianjie. After asking along the way, he quickly found the Log Cafe.
It was lunch break, and there were a few white-collar workers working nearby sitting in the log coffee shop.
Bai Yanliang saw her at the window seat.
She was wearing a pure white fashion brand coat and a pair of huge sunglasses covering most of her face.
She seemed to be thinking about something and was looking out the window slightly. From where Bai Yanliang stood, he could clearly see her long hair tied up high and her delicate but cold profile.
Seemingly noticing Bai Yanliang's gaze, she quickly turned back and looked at him.
"Am I late?"
Bai Yanliang walked up to her, pulled out a chair and sat down. At the same time, he politely refused the coffee recommended by the waiter and asked for a cup of boiled water.
"I'm early."
Feng Xiuxue responded softly.
Her voice was a bit beyond Bai Yanliang's expectation. After meeting her in person, he thought her voice would be colder, but he didn't expect her voice to be unusually soft.
"What do you want from me?"
Bai Yanliang didn't mean to be polite. After taking the boiled water in the waiter's slightly weird eyes, he asked the question simply and clearly.
Feng Xiuxue suddenly sat upright and looked at him quietly. Although her eyes were obscured by sunglasses, Bai Yanliang could still feel the complex emotions in her eyes.
After a long time, Feng Xiuxue took out a photo from her handbag and placed it in front of Bai Yanliang.
"You should know this person."
Bai Yanliang, who had always been quiet, tightened his grip on the cup and looked at the photo. It was old and the corners were a little faded, but it was obvious that it had been well preserved by its owner.
The photo shows a man wearing white casual clothes. He grins widely and smiles brightly. His appearance is similar to Bai Yanliang's, but his temperament is more easy-going, friendly, mature and stable.
How could I not recognize him?
But he never expected that he would see Yanren's photo in the hands of a female star with high national recognition.
However, something is wrong.
Yanren's accident happened ten years ago. Even if he has something to do with Wuji, it was ten years ago, but... Feng Xiuxue is still in Wuji. Could it be that she has spent ten years in Wuji?
"Where did this photo come from?" Bai Yanliang was silent for a long time and finally asked.
Feng Xiuxue kept looking at Bai Yanliang. She asked herself that few men could hide their true feelings in front of her, but she had to admit that she was frustrated by Bai Yanliang.
She couldn't see any emotion in Bai Yanliang's eyes. The only thing that made him lose his composure was his right hand that subconsciously clenched the water glass when he saw the photo for the first time.
But, this is enough.
"Bai Yanliang, Bai Yanren... you are indeed two brothers..." Feng Xiuxue seemed to be relieved and said thoughtfully.
"You haven't answered my question yet." Bai Yanliang looked at her quietly.
Feng Xiuxue looked at him, without any pretense, and said seriously:
"Your brother is my brother-in-law."
"Huh?!"
Bai Yanliang's eyes showed surprise for the first time. He looked at Feng Xiuxue, as if he didn't hear clearly, and asked again: "Yanren... is your brother-in-law? Is he married?"
At this time, Feng Xiuxue took out a photo from her handbag again and placed it with Bai Yanren's.
The photo shows a young girl who is very beautiful and full of intellectual beauty. The Feng Xiuxue in front of her looks quite similar to her, but her temperament is very different.
"This is my sister, Feng Yiru. I use her name to work in the entertainment industry." Feng Xiuxue took a sip of coffee. Hers was the bitterest black coffee without anything added.
"Ten years ago, my sister suddenly disappeared. The family was very worried. When searching for her traces, they accidentally discovered that she was already married, and her husband was your brother, Bai Yanren."
So, he does have a sister-in-law?
Bai Yanliang felt that his mind was a little messed up. It was extremely rare for this kind of thing to happen to him. After all, there were few things that could affect his emotions.
"Bai Yanliang, there is a problem with your brother's death, and there is also a problem with my sister's disappearance." Feng Xiuxue put down her coffee and said to Bai Yanliang seriously.
In fact, she noticed Bai Yanliang when he first entered Wuji. He looked so similar and had such similar names. There wouldn't be so many coincidences in this world, but...if Bai Yanliang failed to survive the first mission If so, she wouldn't have to tell him these things.
Fortunately, Bai Yanliang did not disappoint Feng Xiuxue, or in other words, Bai Yanliang's abilities exceeded her expectations.
He should be able to help her, help her... find them.
