Chapter 439
Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin stood up from his seat and took his mobile phone outside to answer a call.
Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You sat at the dining table and continued to eat, while Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun's parents enthusiastically served him food.
They liked a simple and steady young man like A You very much.
If they had another daughter and A You didn't have a partner, they would truly be willing to have another son-in-law like him.
"Whew... I'm full!"
Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You put down his chopsticks and patted his belly lightly.
Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yunyun's father pulled out a cigarette and handed it over.
Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You gave a "hehe" laugh, and just as he was about to reach out to take it, a hand shot in from the side and snatched the cigarette away.
Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin took out a lighter, lit it for his prospective father-in-law, and then lit one for himself:
"Dad, Mom, something happened at my friend's place, I have to go take a look. A You, let's go, come with me to Brother Liang's house."
Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin had drunk two glasses with his prospective father-in-law at dinner, so he sat in the passenger seat while Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You started the small pickup truck and asked:
"What happened at Brother Liang's place?"
"The murderer who created that haunted house has returned. When he tried to attack Brother Liang, he was dealt with by the pet kept by Bai Nuo and the others."
"Is Brother Liang alright?"
"He's fine, he has already left the police station and gone back. Let's go take a look."
"Should we notify Brother Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan?"
"After we finish checking and go back, we can just tell Brother Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan."
The call was from Tan Tan Yunlong; it was mainly because when they previously reported the former owner of the haunted house for corruption and bribery, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin had used his father's connections. After the house had a second incident, Tan Tan Yunlong was notified, which is why he called his son.
Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You said while driving: "A person like Brother Liang shouldn't really run into any accidents because of something like this."
Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin shook his head: "If you walk by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet? Our Brother Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan is very good at fortune-telling, but do you think he truly believes in fate?"
"If a fortune-teller really says you will get rich in the future, do you think you'll just get rich by doing nothing and waiting to die at home every day?"
Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "What if I happen to run into a demolition?"
Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "What you said actually makes quite a lot of sense."
Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "Anyway, I can live in a rented house; I don't want resettlement housing, I want a huge resettlement fee, and make a big profit."
Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "A You, focus on driving."
Outside, it was already dark. It had rained during the day, and the night air was still filled with damp, cold moisture, but after closing the car windows, there was a stuffy heat in the atmosphere.
Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin chose a cassette tape and pushed it in.
Accompanied by the melodious prelude, the singing began, combined with the small raindrops that started to fall sporadically onto the car windows outside.
Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin felt that when he looked back on the present, on the current nineties, it would be just about this kind of artistic mood.
The car arrived in the city center, and just as it drove to the entrance of the residential complex, Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang was waiting there.
"I already said I was fine, there was no need for you to make a special trip."
"Brother Liang, if we don't see that you are safe and sound, we won't be able to sleep peacefully tonight."
Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin stepped forward, patted and touched him up and down to check his body, confirming that apart from a few abrasions that had already been treated, there were no problems.
Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang: "Even if he was holding a knife, I could have subdued him; who knew he was actually carrying a gun."
Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "The criminal was actually carrying a gun?"
Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang: "Yeah, when I was pointed at by the muzzle, it was indeed quite scary; my back felt cold."
Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You nodded in agreement: "Back then, if Uncle Tan hadn't shown mercy and deliberately missed, I probably would have been done for."
Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "You're quite good at making excuses for him."
Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "Huh?"
Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "You don't know, that night at school, after he saw someone who could dodge bullets with their agility, he was depressed for a long time after going back."
Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "So Uncle was trying to kill me that night?"
Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Not necessarily, he just wasn't aiming for your vital parts."
Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You subconsciously pulled up his pant leg, wanting to see the injury that had been grazed by a bullet, but found that the skin there was smooth and delicate.
After the deep transformation of the boy and recovering from countless serious injuries, plus the layer of skin he had changed not long ago, how could he still find the traces of the gunshot wound from back then?
Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang: "Let's go, shall we go for a drink?"
Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "No, Brother Liang, we just finished eating at my father-in-law's place. Since you're fine, let's get some rest early; you were frightened and went through a lot today."
Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang: "Alright, then drive safely on the night road."
Watching Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin and Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You get in the car and leave, Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang walked back into the complex.
The original three-bedroom, one-living-room layout of the house had not been changed; Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang and his wife slept in the master bedroom, while the other four Bai family ladies lived in pairs, and the beds inside had been replaced with bunk beds.
After all, they were all people who had been lying in coffins for a hundred years, so they didn't feel cramped.
"Son-in-law, please drink this bowl of calming soup."
The old nanny, who looked the oldest but was actually the youngest of the four, brought a bowl of soup to Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang.
Seeing how the four of them interacted on a daily basis, with that little girl Bai Nuo calling the old nanny by her childhood nickname and bossing her around, Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang felt a bit uncomfortable.
He took the bowl and drank the soup in one gulp.
"Thank you, it's delicious."
"Son-in-law, get some rest early."
"You too."
When Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang returned to the master bedroom, he passed the living room, where Bai Nuo was sitting on the sofa, intently watching TV, her feet dangling in her slippers.
She was like the daughter of this family, yet her age was the oldest among the four Bai family ladies.
Opening the master bedroom door, Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang walked in and closed the door.
Bai Bai Zhilan came over to help him take off his coat.
"It was my negligence; I should have let one of them follow you all the time."
"Heh, that's a strange thing to say, as if the whole society is full of such criminals."
"You are the sky for us mother and child; without you, who can we rely on to live?"
"I hope you can all live well, no matter what situation you encounter."
Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang lay on the bed, one arm around his wife, and the other hand gently placed on her slightly protruding lower abdomen.
A man, at this moment, felt as if he possessed the whole world.
In any other family, encountering such a thing would likely leave them shaken for at least half a year, but in this house, it was considered normal, and it didn't even delay them from continuing to live here tonight.
After enjoying this quiet beauty, Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang turned to his side, ready to turn off the desk lamp.
His fingers touched the knob, and he said:
"This lamp can adjust its brightness."
Bai Bai Zhilan: "Yes, Bai Nuo chose it; she also has one in her room."
Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang: "How bright can it be adjusted to?"
Bai Bai Zhilan: "Very bright, it can shine through the window and reach the unit entrance."
Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang: "That's actually quite good."
Bai Bai Zhilan: "But being that bright is dazzling and meaningless."
"Let's rest."
"Snap!"
Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Xue Liangliang turned off the desk lamp.
In the living room, Bai Nuo stepped onto the floor with both feet, stood up from the sofa, and looked up at the ceiling.
Originally, that was where the chandelier was, but the chandelier had fallen, and a new one hadn't been bought or installed yet.
At the moment, the living room lights were clearly very bright, but a mass of shadow was still lurking there, constantly contracting and expanding.
Bai Nuo's eyes revealed severity as she opened her mouth.
The shadow above seemed extremely terrified and began to tremble violently, yet it still couldn't resist the trend of being pulled down.
Finally, it fell down, and Bai Nuo waved her small hand, clutching the mass of shadow in her hand, watching it struggle.
"When that guy reached the unit entrance, you could have clearly taken action, but you deliberately waited until he made a move on my son-in-law before acting to seek credit and performance."
You've really gone too far!"
When Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin returned home, he saw that the desk lamp in Brother Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan's room on the second floor was still on.
After going upstairs and reporting the matter about Brother Liang to Brother Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin went back down to take a shower by the well with A You.
"Splash..."
One bucket for you, one bucket for me, and then each started using soap.
Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "Brother Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan is sleeping so late tonight."
Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Yeah, he's writing something."
Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You: "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng isn't home, sigh."
Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "He should be at Old Man Uncle Tian's place."
After the two finished showering, they each lay back in their coffins.
Upstairs, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan put down his pen and rubbed his wrists lightly.
He had already written the latest summary of the "Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan Secret Scroll" on his way back; what he was writing now was the team development plan for the next stage.
It not only involved the original individuals and the whole, but also the chain reaction after A Li officially joined the team.
This is a complex project; even for Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan as he is now, deducing it feels cumbersome.
