Liu Lan really didn’t want to get involved with this kind of person, especially considering that two hundred yuan wasn’t a significant amount. She simply paid him the money.
Once Zhou Nan received the money, he left immediately.
When Liu Lan finished work, she deliberately paid attention to her surroundings, making sure that Zhou Nan was not around. Only then did she completely let her guard down.
Unexpectedly, the next day, a severe accident occurred on the mountain road, and the protagonist of the accident was the woman Zhou Nan had burned with a cigarette the previous night.
The more Liu Lan thought about it, the more frightened she became. However, the manor’s manager insisted that she keep her mouth shut, treating it as if nothing had happened.
So when the police came to inquire, Liu Lan remained tight-lipped, pretending to know nothing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe police didn’t suspect that this small incident was related to the car accident. At the time, they only investigated the surveillance footage in the parking lot and didn’t think to check all the surveillance videos inside the manor.
The incident was ultimately classified as an accident.
After hearing all this, Mei Shu’s eyes were already red.
She glared at Liu Lan, her expression terrifying, as if she had just crawled out of hell to seek revenge.
“Then why did you report to the police that thugs harassed you? What happened then?”
Liu Lan bowed her head in resignation, closed her eyes, and said, “After work, on my way home, a few thugs blocked me on a narrow path. My cries for help attracted some kind-hearted passersby, and the thugs scattered. With the insistence of the passersby, 1 went to the police station to report the incident together. Initially, I didn’t connect these two incidents. But as soon as 1 finished reporting to the police, Zhou Nan came with a group of people to find me.”
It was already half-past eleven at night.
The streets in the suburbs were not as bustling as those in the city. Now, it was dead silent, with only the streetlights and moonlight casting a faint glow.
A group of people smoked their cigarettes, enveloping the small path in smoke.
“Leader, you’ve learned some new tricks, even reporting to the police,” Zhou Nan said sarcastically as he spat on the ground.
Liu Lan never expected that they would dare to stop her on the way home as soon as she left the police station.
She subconsciously clenched the strap of her bag and warned without any momentum, “What do you want? Zhou Nan, did you ask those people to come just now?”
“Yes.” Zhou Nan threw the cigarette butt on the ground, gently extinguishing it with the tip of his shoe. “Are you scared? Don’t worry, we have no interest in an old woman like you. 1 came to tell you something.”
“What?” Liu Lan, frightened, stood stiffly. She watched Zhou Nan approach step by step. She couldn’t even manage to step back, and as he drew nearer, the unpleasant smell of his breath sprayed onto her face.
With a smirk, Zhou Nan said, “Actually, it’s nothing. It’s about the woman who died on your manor’s road that night. Remember we had a little conflict? I came to tell you not to blabber about that night to the police. 1 don’t want trouble. Understand?”
Liu Lan immediately nodded. “I understand. Even if you didn’t come to me, our manager had already warned me beforehand not to mention that incident to the police.”
“That’s great.” Zhou Nan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and continued to walk away, shoulder to shoulder with a few men. “Alright, brothers, let’s go. It’s been a tough trip today, and I’ll treat you to dinner!”
“Brother Nan has made a fortune recently, always treating everyone. Share with us some money-making tips!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe voices of a few people joking gradually faded away.
Liu Lan stood there, dazed, on the night path for a long time before gradually regaining the sensation in her limbs.
She was really not good at dealing with this group of idle hooligans.
Fortunately, since then, Zhou Nan had never come to trouble her again.
But just to be safe, coupled with another death near the manor, Liu Lan decided to change her work environment.
The story reached this point, and the truth of that year was now crystal clear.
Zhou Nan secretly added other brake fluid to Bai Ling’s oil drum, causing the brakes of Bai Ling’s car to fail downhill, resulting in the extremely severe accident and Bai Ling’s immediate death, a tragic end.
Mei Shu wished she could grab Zhou Nan now and retaliate against him using the same method, making him experience the fear of death.
But reason simultaneously told her that there were a hundred ways to deal with someone like Zhou Nan, and the least worthwhile was to involve herself and risk her own life.
Thinking of this, Mei Shu took a deep breath, closed her eyes, held back the tears about to fall from the corners of her eyes, and asked the final question.
“That night, my mother only borrowed the oil drum from the manor. After using it, she should have returned it. Has anyone touched that drum of brake fluid afterward?”
Liu Lan didn’t understand the truth, so she didn’t understand why Mei Shu was asking about the whereabouts of the oil drum. After careful consideration, she said, “I really don’t know about this. The one in charge of these things is Mr. Feng, who manages the utility room. You can go ask him..”
