He said he doesn't love me

There is a pavilion by the lake in the far suburbs. No one has been there for a long time, and weeds and wild flowers have grown there, blocking the way.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. The sun had long lost its midday heat and was a little cooler under the cover of white clouds.

A man holding a sickle swung it to clear a path leading to the pavilion, then bowed respectfully to the person behind him, waiting for that person to approach.

Not long after, a woman walked leisurely onto the road. She stretched out her hand and slapped the man hard.

"Snapped!!"

The woman was wearing a white robe that covered her from head to ankles, and her exposed hands were also covered with lace gloves with intricate patterns. She looked weak, but the slap she swung was very loud, showing that she was really angry.

"You jerk! I asked you to get something and you almost got caught! What use do I have for you?!" the woman cursed angrily, "Did he see your face?"

The man shook his head. "The young master has never seen my face. Master, please calm down. It was because of my carelessness that I almost made a big mistake. I hope you will give me a chance to make amends." As he spoke, he knelt on one knee in front of the woman and presented the watch to her with both hands.

The woman glanced at her watch, her eyes becoming even more furious. "Take a good look at what this is! You idiot, they dug a hole and you just jumped in?!"

The man looked at the watch in his hand with a confused look on his face. "Master, I am sure that this is the watch that Miles gave to Xiao..."

"Snapped!"

Before he could finish his words, the woman slapped the watch away with one hand and said, "This is just an ordinary wristwatch. They must have discovered something. You should be more careful when doing things. Go back and don't be so reckless." She snorted coldly and turned away.

The man stared blankly at the broken watch and couldn't help but frowning, "Why did the master know that this is just an ordinary watch at a glance?"

He picked up the watch and looked at it carefully, and found that there was nothing special about it. When he thought that he was eager to take credit, but the thing was fake, he was immediately furious. He held the watch tightly in his hand and threw it into the lake.

With a splash, the watch sank into the lake.

"Dare to play tricks on me?!" He gritted his teeth. Sun Ran couldn't move, but the master didn't say Miles couldn't move!

He left angrily and disappeared on the overgrown lakeside. In just a few breaths, he was gone.

As soon as he left, he saw several people in white robes picking up the weeds that had just been cleared and covering the road again, giving the illusion that it had always been like this.

The golden light faded, and the orange, light blue, and green clouds mixed into a beautiful oil painting, dotted in the sky. The sunset gradually turned darker, until it disappeared into the darkness, and night had arrived.

The lights were turned on in the courtyard, adding a touch of life to the silence in the distant suburbs, making it neither too deserted nor too lively.

Sun Ran took a shower, changed into new clothes, and went downstairs to find something to eat.

"Master, are you hungry?" The maid was cleaning the living room. When she saw him coming down, she stopped her work and asked, "The chef just made some soup. Can I serve you a bowl?"

Sun Ran glanced at her, nodded, and sat on the sofa. A variety show was playing on TV, and the person holding the microphone and interacting with the audience was Tang Lele's brother.

Tang Anan.

Sun Ran looked for the remote control but couldn't find it after searching for two rounds. He had no choice but to get up and go to the kitchen to find the maid. "Where's the remote control?"

The maid held the bowl, turned around and looked at him, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Please check the box under the TV to see if there is anything."

"No." Sun Ran curled his lips, "Isn't it you who cleaned the room? Do I need to find the things myself?"

The maid's smile froze and she was a little at a loss, "Don't blame me, young master. I wasn't the one who cleaned the room the past two days. We take turns once a week. So I don't know the exact location of some things. Of course, you don't need to do it, young master. I'll do it, I'll do it." She put the soup on the dining table, wiped her hands and began to look for the remote control.

Sun Ran touched the remote control in his pocket and sat silently at the table, drinking soup with a spoon. He held the spoon in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the maid's movements. He wanted to see if this person had a tattoo.

The maid felt the burning gaze behind her, and her palms were sweating. She searched for a long time without success, turned around and pinched the hem of her skirt awkwardly, "Master, you have been looking at me, do you want to...solve it?"

"Puff... cough cough cough..." Sun Ran was so scared that he spat out a mouthful of soup. He quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth, but was choked and kept coughing.

After recovering, Sun Ran waved his hands at her, "You think too much, I don't mean that. Don't look for her for now, go and do your work." He wiped his face with tissue paper and buried his head in the tissue, not daring to look directly into the maid's eyes.

Sun Ran swallowed his saliva, embarrassed to the point of tapping his toes. He didn't expect that the maid in Sun Zhaoxu's house had such a strange function. He once again refreshed his view of this uncle.

What a beast in human clothing, Sun Ran cursed in his heart: He claims to love his wife who passed away young, but he keeps someone else at home. What a beast in human clothing, what a hypocritical man!

Sun Ran finished his soup in a few gulps, and when he looked up again, the maid had picked up the towel again and continued to clean the room. His eyes followed the maid's movements, but there was no tattoo anywhere he looked.

He did not dare to ask. If the other party was an enemy rather than a friend, he would be courting death. In this way, it would expose the sign of the unity of the people of Minglang. If someone wanted to sneak in, it would be much easier than it is now.

"What's your name?" Sun Ran took an apple from the fruit bowl and went into the kitchen. He washed the apple, took two bites, and asked.

The maid smiled at him and said, "Master, my name is Du Linxuan, you can just call me Linxuan."

"Linxuan." Sun Ran leaned against the kitchen door, watching her clean the bookcase and wipe the sofa and coffee table. Not only were her movements neat and tidy, but she also managed her time very well. She boiled water here, and she went to wipe the sofa. After wiping the sofa, the water turned on again. She then used warm water to wipe the coffee table, so that her hands would not get cold and she would not waste time.

"Linxuan, you take shifts once a week. Does that mean everyone's positions are shuffled and rearranged?" Sun Ran still didn't let his guard down. After Sun Zhaoxu left, he was not sure whether there were people from other factions in this place.

The person who followed him last time didn't seem to be Ming Lang's. That person was as stupid as a fool, and was completely different from Ming Lang's decisive killer.

that……

How many spies are there around me, and who are there to protect me? Sun Ran pursed his lips, undecided for a moment.

The maid thought for a moment and said, "No, we have rules for our shifts. The maids are randomly arranged in the courtyard and take turns to take charge of their respective jobs. And the guards outside basically do not change, unless someone dies while on a mission, someone will be sent to take his place." After she said that, she waited patiently for Sun Ran, as if she had anticipated that Sun Ran would definitely have the next question.

Sun Ran munched on an apple and nodded silently.

If the guards remained the same, it would be easy for Miles to check the people on the latest shift and find out who sneaked in. He threw the apple core into the trash can, washed his hands, and sat back on the sofa.

The maid was stunned. Was he not going to ask any more questions? She raised her eyelids and looked at Sun Ran, not understanding why he stopped asking.

Is there something wrong with what I just said that made him doubt me?

"By the way, I left something in my uncle's study. Can you take me there?" Sun Ran quietly took out the remote control from his pocket and stuffed it behind the sofa. He then stood up and looked at the remote control in surprise. "Isn't the remote control here? Are you so careless about your work?!"

The maid quickly put down the towel in her hand and ran over to apologize, "I'm sorry, Master. I may have been careless for a moment. I promise there won't be a next time. Please don't tell the master."

Sun Ran waved his hand helplessly, "Take me to the study, I won't complain."

The maid nodded and took him to the study.

Sun Ran closed the door as soon as he entered the study, walked a few steps to the window, and looked in the direction where the man who took the watch left. It was pitch black over there, obviously an uninhabited place. Was he running over there because he was afraid of being followed, or was there someone there to pick him up?

He touched his chin, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Zhong Caiye, saying that he had something to do tomorrow night and wanted to advance the intervention to noon.

Zhong Caiye readily agreed and made an appointment for lunch with him.

Sun Ran put down his phone and went to Sun Zhaoxu's computer desk. He didn't plan to turn on the computer, after all, he didn't know the password and didn't have the habit of snooping into other people's privacy.

He sat down on the chair and opened the letter.

The handwriting on the envelope was very beautiful, and it was addressed to Sun Ran. Sun Ran leaned in and sniffed the envelope, which still had a faint fragrance.

It can't be a love letter, right?

Sun Ran was shocked by his own thoughts. Apart from the Château de Chantilly and the Castellès family, no one knew his location. How could anyone deliver the letter to him accurately?

He opened the envelope with confusion. The handwriting on the letter was also elegant and the beautiful font looked very pleasing to the eye.

But when he read on, he felt unhappy and he wished it was a love letter.

"Hello, my dear baby, how are you? Maybe you don't know who I am, it doesn't matter, we will meet one day.

I have heard a lot about you. Although I have not been with you and have not watched you grow, I understand a lot about you and know what you are worried about.

Be obedient, baby, don't investigate further. The power of the Three Darks is not something you can interfere with. You don't want to know the truth. Stop now, find a place away from the chaos, and spend a long time with your husband. It's better than anything else.

I'm sorry to involve you, but we had no choice. I hope you won't blame us. When things are resolved, we will find a way to find you and ask for your forgiveness. Now, please leave New York as soon as possible, don't go back to Paris, and definitely don't go back to China. Go somewhere else and live a good life.

New Zealand is great. Didn't you have a great time there? Just relax, okay?

My baby, you must live on. We will always love you, dear. I hope you will be safe and happy for the rest of your life. "

Sun Ran read the letter over and over again with trembling hands, unable to believe that his actions could be spied on without any error.

This person knew that he was married, that his partner was a man, that he had been to Paris and New Zealand, and that he was investigating the Three Darks...

Who is this person?

Why was someone following him secretly for so long without him even noticing?

Sun Ran pulled his hair in annoyance. He had always addressed himself as "baby" in the letter. Who could that person be? What did he mean by "I don't want to know the truth"...

What secrets were hidden behind this, and how many people were involved? He had no idea how many of them were his own people and how many were his enemies.

Everyone said that Black Crow no longer existed, but everyone still mentioned the Three Darks, not Ming Lang and An Yuan. Could it be that Black Crow was the most powerful of the Three Darks?

Sun Ran put away the letter, and a number of faces flashed through his eyes, but he ruled them out one by one. According to what the letter said, the writer was not by his side, and he knew these things through other people's retelling, which meant that there was always an eyeliner around him.

Could it be that they are in the same group as those people in my memory who could enter and leave the Sun family without any hindrance?

Everyone wanted him to live well, and tried to protect him, but they didn't tell him anything. Sun Ran was deeply trapped in it, and he still had no clue. The enemy was in the dark while he was in the light. If a fight broke out, there was no chance of survival.
