Chapter 683 You Have No Idea How Much She Liked Him

Ning Li pursed her lips.

She had specifically walked in front and deliberately covered the door as she opened it. Unexpectedly, Shen Zhijin had still noticed it.

Shen Zhijin’s eyelids were slightly lowered, and the expression in his eyes could not be seen.

After a long while, he regained his composure and moved to enter the room.

Ning Li’s lips moved slightly, but she did not know what to say.

Lu Huaiyu walked in and raised his hand to gently stroke her hair.

It was true that there was nothing left about Ning Li in this house anymore.

The so-called “tour” of the house could actually be finished in just a few minutes.

However, Old Madam Gu and the others still looked at it for a long time. It was not until Ning Li urged them to go back that they finally left.

That night, everyone returned to Xishi Hotel.

After dinner, Ning Li went to look for Gu Tinglan.

Gu Tinglan was a little surprised to see her.

“Ah Li? Were you looking for me?”

Ning Li nodded.

Gu Tinglan let her into the room.

“Is it… because of Ning Haizhou?”

Ning Li nodded and then shook her head.

“It’s the fire and… the car.”

Gu Tinglan was pouring water for her when he heard this. He paused and slowly looked

up.

“What?”

Ning Li met his gaze.

“I was the one who repaired the silver-gray supercar that Gu Siyang sent to Lincheng.” Gu Tinglan’s eyebrows twitched.

In that instant, he recalled many things from that time.

After a while, he put down the cup and sat down opposite Ning Li. He looked at her with a complicated gaze and said slowly, “… No wonder you were in Lincheng at that time…”

He paused for a moment.

“So, you know about the car?”

Ning Li nodded.

“I want to know, did that car belong to my mother?”

Gu Tinglan paused.

“Yes.”

Ning Li’s heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough–

“The bullet marks in the car…”

Gu Tinglan was silent for a moment, as if he was considering how to speak.

“That car was Fourth Sister’s 18th birthday present, and she liked it very much. However, she had been kidnapped once before while she had been driving that car.”

Ning Li frowned.

“To be precise, it was an attempted kidnapping. They hadn’t even left Hong Kong City when they were captured. Those bullet marks had also been left behind at that time.”

“Later, Father sent people to investigate, and uncovered all the people who had been involved in the kidnapping. From beginning to the end, everything had happened in less than an hour, and Fourth Sister had only received slight injuries at that time. After those people were dealt with, the matter was quickly resolved.

“As for the fire in Lincheng, the fire had started from the family downstairs where Fourth Sister and the others lived. The third person who died was a resident of that family. The fire was so fierce that by the time the fire department arrived, it was already too late.”

Gu Tinglan closed his eyes.

“The kidnapping incident had happened very early, almost three years before the fire. Therefore, no one had thought of linking the two incidents together since it was thought to be an accident. It was not until two years ago that we unintentionally discovered that there was someone who had been in close contact with the kidnappers for a period of time. Moreover, he had just returned from abroad when the fire had broken out. The clues pointed to the possibility that he had returned to Lincheng at that time.”

It was also from then on that the Gu family had become suspicious and began to investigate again.

“However, so many years have passed so it’s not that simple to investigate again.”

The reason they had come over this time was actually to start with Ning Haizhou and see if there was any progress.

When Ning Li heard this, she was silent for a moment before asking, “Then, who is that person?”

Gu Tinglan shook his head.

“He only has one codename– Dylan. As for any other specific information about him, he has hidden it very well. We haven’t managed to find out too much.”

Even with the Gu family’s ability, they were still unable to find anything. It was clear that the other party had a deep background and was extremely difficult to deal with.

Ning Li’s eyelids drooped slightly.

Gu Tinglan looked at her and said, “Originally, I thought that I wouldn’t tell you this before the matter had been investigated thoroughly. However, since you were the one who repaired that car and you’ve come to ask, there’s no harm in telling you. However, we will continue to investigate these matters so don’t worry too much.”

His voice was much gentler.

“Just spend more time with your grandparents. In addition… There’s also your father.”

Ning Li’s heart skipped a beat as she looked up at Gu Tinglan. Gu Tinglan smiled.

“Ah Li, do you think that we hate him to the extreme because we haven’t interacted with him all these years?”

Ning Li pursed her lips.

Based on what she had seen before, there was indeed a deep gap between them.

The attitude of the Gu brothers was especially obvious.

However…

“When I met Siqi and Sicheng at Hua University, they said that they wanted me to send my regards to their fourth uncle,” she said.

If they had really hated each other to the extreme, why would the two children have said such words?

The corners of Gu Tinglan’s lips curved slightly.

“If it wasn’t for your return, we would probably never have reconciled with him. But Ah Li, you have to know that there is a barrier there. It’s a barrier for him, and it’s also a barrier for us.”

“Now that we have you, it’s for the best.”

Gu Tinglan sighed softly.

“You have no idea how much your mother liked him.”

…

Ning Li stood up and left. Gu Tinglan walked her to the door.

“Ah Li.”

Ning Li turned around and saw Lu Huaiyu walking over with a small container of food in his hand.

“Second Brother.”

Lu Huaiyu stood beside her.

“I saw that you didn’t eat much for dinner just now, so I thought I’d bring you some supper. You weren’t there, so I came here instead.”

Gu Tinglan’s gaze fell on the container of food in his hand, and he narrowed his eyes dangerously.

“Second Master Lu, it’s so late at night, why are you so free?”

Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was thinking for a moment.

Then, he handed the container of food over.

“Little Uncle, would you like to eat as well?”
