The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 336 Eavesdropping Behind the Door
In the middle of the night, a gust of wind came in through the crack of the window, slightly lifting a corner of the bed curtain.

In the soft light of a small lamp beside the bed, the boy opened his eyes, surrounded by lavender satin bed curtains.

At first, I suddenly thought it was a dream.

But this environment made him a little uneasy.

Obviously a girl's bedroom.

The stamina of the antidote was still strong, he was awake for a while, and dazed for a while, relying on his willpower to keep himself from falling asleep again.

The bed was very strange, but the familiar scent from the bedding on the bed reminded him, he was stunned for a while, and slowly woke up.

This is Shi'an's home, her bedroom and bed.

However, the room was empty and she was not there.

So late, where did she go?

In fact, Qilan, who had come to his senses, preferred to have Shi'an by his side at this time, not for anything else, at least knowing that she was still safe, so he was less worried.

She must have left while he was asleep.The cheongsam and hat I wore when I came back in the evening were casually placed on the coat rack next to the cabinet.One of the high heels stood up, the other fell down.

He turned over from the bed, put on his shoes and walked towards the door.

However, people could be heard walking downstairs and in the corridor very clearly by the door, and the movement was not small.

Immediately afterwards, a woman went downstairs and told the servant:

"There are distinguished guests coming, all kinds of cakes, fruits and good wine, put them in order!"

As a person who entered quietly through the small door, he had a sense of propriety, and he was not allowed to run around in other people's rooms rashly.

So he hid behind the door and listened to the movement outside.

At the top of the stairs, a man's high-pitched voice came:

"It's a great honor for He to visit late at night!"

Qilan guessed that the two people talking must be Shi'an's parents.

Since you have to receive this courtesy when you come in in the middle of the night, visitors are not waiting for it.

The guest's response seemed too bland.

"Thank you for your kind invitation, but time is tight, and there is no need to pay attention to red tape, let's talk about important things first."

He still wanted to listen to more of the conversation, but unfortunately, this gentleman didn't talk much, and his voice was still low, so he couldn't hear what was going on behind him.

He was so focused when he put his ear to the door that he didn't notice the slight sound of footsteps at the door.

The door was made of fine yellow pear wood, as smooth as a mirror. With a sudden movement, his whole body was gently pushed back, and the whole body was pushed down behind the door.

Shi'an stood at the door with her long hair loose.

She was only wearing a set of silver-gray embroidered silk pajamas and pajama pants that didn't look too thick, and a red wool shawl was loosely draped over her shoulders.

There was no makeup on the face, it was washed very clean, and only a little moisturizing cream was applied.

In her hand was a plate containing two cakes and a small bottle of milk, both warm.

Maybe it was because she was at home, so she came in so naturally and relaxed, put the plate on the bedside table, stretched out her hand to check the bed curtain, and leaned half her body inside.

"What about people?"

Shi'an found that the quilt was still warm, but there was no one there, so she looked down at her feet, and sure enough, her shoes were gone.

"It's impossible to run out in such a short time, right?"

She was so anxious that she scratched her head with her hands regardless of her image.

"There are so many people downstairs, they will definitely be discovered if they go out."

"Is he hiding upstairs?"

She shed tears just thinking about it, this is not her character.

However, as long as he is worried about his safety, the tears that are usually hidden will be on call.

Qilan flashed out from behind the door, closed the door, and walked softly behind her.

"I'm here, don't cry."

She raised her head, smiled through tears, and hurriedly grabbed the milk on the plate.

"I saw that you slept for an hour, and you were afraid that you would be hungry when you woke up, so you went downstairs to get something to eat."

"This is just warm, drink it before it's cold."

Qilan thanked her, sat down and drank the milk, then finished the snacks, and slowly regained some of her physical strength.

And Shi'an seemed to be thinking, with a little hesitation and worry in his eyes.

There was makeup before, so I couldn't see the real expression.

Without makeup, her mental activity is directly reflected in her facial expressions.

She watched him rest for a moment, and mustered up the courage to speak in a low voice.

"There's one thing I haven't dared to tell you."

"The night before Lin Mi's wedding banquet, my father also received an invitation, but he didn't go."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, so small that even if Qilan sat face to face with her, it was very difficult for her to hear.

"Don't be afraid," he stretched out his hand and moved the chair towards her, "No matter what you say, I will treat you as my good friend."

His tone is sincere, even if he already guessed in his heart that there will be a lot of information released in the next words.

Tears flickered in Shi'an's eyes, and she hugged him suddenly, sobbing softly.

"That day, I was outside my father's study and heard him say on the phone that he was going to plant a bomb in the car outside the hotel"

Speaking of this, her body trembled involuntarily, for fear that he would forcefully push herself and the chair to the corner.

There was no disgust in the way he looked at her, only honesty and understanding.

This pair of eyes made her feel a little more relieved and courageous. After a short rest, she continued:

"I didn't like Lin Mi in the past, but I never thought that her family would suffer all kinds of blows now."

"I have to admit that my father also took part in these blows."

Qilan sighed softly, and patted her on the shoulder lightly:

"I know it's uncomfortable for you to keep secrets in your heart these days, but Lin Mi and I won't blame you."

Shi'an wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, pointed to the door, and told another fact that surprised him.

"The person who came to my house tonight, surnamed Hong, is doing the same thing as my father."

"He is also partly responsible for the current situation of the Lin family."

Qilan was puzzled, Lin Mi's father was a low-key and upright person, how could he be attacked by people in the same circle so jointly, making him worse?

There must be many unspeakable secrets behind this.

Just as he was thinking about the problem, Shi'an came to his ear and said softly:
"I overheard the conversation between him and my father, saying that there is a blood debt that must be paid by the Lin family."

Blood debt? !

Qilan was stunned for a moment.

He actually knew nothing about the real Lin family.

Shi'an's voice continued to ring slowly in my ears:
"The last time he asked my father to investigate the 17-year-old soldier who worked in the Lin family. When I was eavesdropping outside the door, I wondered, why did I find someone so meticulously?"

Qilan was also deeply surprised.After all, he has only been to Lin's house a few times, and he has very few close contacts.

However, a figure suddenly flashed in his mind.

Once Lin Mi talked with him, and said that Li Yan went north with her father when she was 13 years old, and stayed with her in Beiping for almost four years.

Is it a coincidence?
