Lu Yan took a deep breath to calm down his fluctuating emotions.

After entering the study, he quickly closed the door with his backhand, and then quietly looked around the layout of the entire room.

A long time ago, when Lu Yan was taken back to Xishan Villa, he was told by Li Shujun that he should pay attention to the privacy of others in this home. Except for the living room and dining room on the first floor, there is almost no public space in the whole villa, including This study is no exception.So it still clearly retains the display of the owner when he was alive, as well as the imperceptible traces of the man's life.

The last time I came and went was too hasty, Lu Yan didn't have time to pay attention, and now I had a rare chance to come in alone, and only after I saw it - more than ten years have passed, Lu Chengrui's study room has not undergone any changes at all, as if he was four years old It was the same as when I was first brought into this door that year.

Thinking of this, the memories can't help but come to an abrupt end.

Lu Yan drove those unpleasant pictures out of his mind, collected himself, and then walked towards the set of desks in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with a clear goal.

This table is equipped with a total of six drawers on the left and right, among which the bottom drawer of the low cabinet on the right has a lock, and the key has been kept by Lu Chengrui himself, and the other five can be opened and closed at will.

Lu Yan checked the three drawers of the low cabinet on the left one by one, and found a stopped watch, a medicine box and several handwritten manuscripts inside.Lu Yan picked up a notebook with the most worn cover and flipped through it casually. The contents were probably excerpts or thoughts after reading, and the handwriting was Lu Chengrui's own.

It's quite a literary hobby.

Lu Yan raised the corner of his mouth with a half-smile, and put the notes back in the drawer.

During this process, the hard leather corner of the notebook happened to bump into the plastic dispensing medicine box, which obviously still had unused medicine in time, and there was a "crash" sound when it was hit.

Lu Chengrui died of heart failure caused by a heart attack. It is reasonable to take drugs to suppress heart failure for a long time before.Lu Yan stared at the medicine box for a few seconds, vaguely feeling that something was wrong with the sound just now.

Finally, he picked up the pill box from the drawer.This feeling is more intuitive. The medicine box itself is not big, and it can hold four doses of medicine, but the weight is much heavier than it looks.After another flash, Lu Yan suddenly opened his eyes wide when he heard the sound, the sound of metal hitting the inner wall of the plastic was very obvious!

He quickly opened the medicine box, and there were a few white pills and blue-and-white capsules inside. Since they were all placed in one compartment, it should be a one-time dose.

Lu Yan didn't know about medicines for heart disease, so he didn't spend his mind on those things. Instead, he carefully opened the interlayer, and as expected, he found a brass key at the bottom of the box.He casually put the medicine box into his coat pocket, quickly checked the two unlocked drawers on the right, and found the kraft paper bag brought by lawyer Ri Jiang in the middle drawer.

In order to save time, Lu Yan did not open it for inspection, but put it close to his body, and finally inserted the key into the lock hole of the bottom drawer.

With a "click", the lock cylinder twisted, and Lu Yan opened the drawer.After seeing what was inside, he couldn't help being slightly stunned.

——It was a thick stack of photos, which should have been taken secretly from the angle of view. The photos recorded his various periods from childhood to adulthood, and on the back were the dates and places marked by Lu Chengrui himself.

Lu Yan looked at the top photo and found the scene very familiar, so he picked it up and turned it to the back to check the time, and found that the date on it was less than a month ago!

On the way back to the villa on the day of the funeral, didn't Du Hui say that Lu Chengrui's old illness had relapsed for a long time?How do you still have the energy to sit in the study and receive these things?

Lu Yan vaguely sensed that there was a problem here, but he didn't have time to stay in the study to think about it.He hastily locked the last drawer, restored the scratches on the desk to its original state, then walked to the door and listened quietly for a while, making sure that no one was passing by, then pushed the door open and walked out silently.

The worship downstairs was coming to an end, and according to the procedure, it was time to send the ashes to the Cold Spring Cemetery.

To be on the safe side, Lu Yan still chose to return to the lobby on the first floor by the same route.But just as he turned the corner of the corridor and was about to go around to the back stairwell, footsteps sounded at the stairway connecting the second and third floors of the villa.Lu Yan broke out in a cold sweat in an instant, raised his head suddenly, and met the person who came down from upstairs.

It was a middle-aged man in his fifties by visual estimation, and his actual age might be several years older. He was wearing a black handmade suit without a tie.It can be seen that the man usually takes care of himself very well. If it weren't for the graying of the sideburns, judging from the face alone, he would not be able to see a little oldness at all.

Lu Yan frowned slightly, thinking that the third floor of this villa is the owner's bedroom, how could this person come down from there?

In just a few seconds, the other party also saw Lu Yan, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

Neither of them spoke, they just stared at each other in a slightly awkward silence, and after an unknown amount of time, the man laughed first.

"You don't know me," the other party's voice was flat, but the content was bloody, "It seems that you have sneaked in to dig up exclusive entertainment journals?"

Lu Yan's thoughts turned, and his intuition told him that this person is very smart, and he is obviously not afraid of accidents if he is bumped into, so he can smile so calmly.

This situation was too passive for him, and Lu Yan was dressed as a woman and couldn't open his mouth to deal with it.He couldn't think of a better solution in his heart, so he simply didn't do anything, didn't answer, turned around and gave up on the hidden servant's staircase, but quickly returned to the main corridor on the second floor of the villa, and went down the main staircase in a stately manner. Arrived at the lobby on the first floor.

Fortunately, the Lu family is busy guiding the guests to the parking lot right now, so no one noticed a stranger coming down from upstairs for a moment.

Lu Yan didn't dare to turn his head back, let alone go to Gu Jinglin again if he was bumped into by someone. He took two quick steps to sneak into the crowd, and left the hall with the first group of guests.

The rain outside was heavier than when it came, and the sky was as gloomy as night. Lu Yan carefully protected the things he had brought out from the study, not daring to stay, and went to the parking lot alone in the rain.

As time went by, several nearby cars drove away one after another.

Gu Jinglin's side was probably delayed by something, and he didn't come to meet up for a long time.Lu Yan's long suit and long skirt were drenched by the rain, and wrapped around his body drippingly. He squatted beside the BMW and huddled up in a ball, afraid of being seen, and even more afraid of getting the things on his chest wet from the rain.

After another ten minutes, Lu Yan, who was already drenched, felt that there was no rain on his back. He wiped the water on his face, and saw that the liquid on his palm was washed away with a little black color. The liquid eyeliner made me feel a little uncomfortable.He wiped the dirt off the hem of the skirt, and then stood up with the car body.

Xi Chen stood behind Lu Yan with an umbrella, his face was calm, but his eyes showed a trace of indifference. He really didn't like this "trouble" who left the table halfway.

"A more important person has just arrived, Young Master Gu has to wait a little longer to come over," he said coldly, "He asked me to take you and my car to rest first, so as not to catch the cold in the rain."

Lu Yan nodded silently, wiped the end of his eyes with the back of his hand, and forcibly suppressed the urge to cry.It's a pity that the physical reaction was completely uncontrollable, the more he forced himself to calm down, the more tears flowed out.

Seeing that he was not moving, Xi Chen took two steps forward and came to Lu Yan's side. Before he could speak to urge him, he saw that the drenched young master's shoulders twitched slightly, and when he raised his head, his eyes were red.

"you--"

Mr. Broker has never met this model before, and if he doesn't wait to see it again, he won't be angry with Lu Yan like this.Besides, the three young masters looked really miserable right now, the makeup on their faces was all blurred by the rain, it's okay to put it on ordinary people, but he is a clean freak.

"Are you okay?" Xi Chen changed his words.

Lu Yan shook his head and said in a low voice: "I made you laugh, it's okay, it will be fine in a while, don't worry about me."

Xi Chen sighed, took off his suit jacket and made a gesture to put it on for Lu Yan.Lu Yan subconsciously wants to hide back, but Xi Chen is not Gu Jinglin, who will not patiently coax people back when he sees him hiding, but directly puts his coat on Lu Yan's head.

The warm clothes directly touched the skin, and Lu Yan was so stiff that he couldn't move for a moment, his tear glands were sore, and he took a low breath.

"Don't worry too much at this time," Xi Chen said helplessly, seeing Lu Yan like that, "If you are sick, our Young Master Gu will definitely be unhappy, and I will most likely be blamed at that time." .”

Lu Yan lifted the edge of his suit to look at him, sniffed, and said, "No, I will explain it to Mr. Gu."

"Let's talk in the car." After Xi Chen finished speaking, he took Lu Yan into a Land Rover not far away with an umbrella, and then handed him a set of men's clothes prepared in advance by the co-pilot.

Lu Yan didn't care about changing clothes for the time being, and after sitting in the back seat, he hurriedly took out all the things one by one, and dried the wet parts with paper towels.

Xi Chen knew that he shouldn't ask more questions, but when he saw him doing this, he couldn't help being curious, and he really cared about what Lu Yan did during the time when he disappeared, so he kept quiet for a long time, and couldn't help but ask. :"what is that?"

Lu Yan tidied up the kraft paper bag, and now he had time to wipe off the makeup on his face. He knew that he couldn't tell the truth to Xi Chen, but it was obviously impossible not to tell the truth.Lu Yan sorted out the wording in his mind, and said simply: "It is a condition for the will to take effect."

Xi Chen smiled knowingly when he heard the words, and said, "It's not surprising that you suddenly returned to China, got into a car accident, and came back from the dead. After all, it's all to inherit the Lu family's inheritance."

Lu Yan knew that he had misunderstood, but did not explain, and simply followed the other party's meaning: "Yes, in a situation like the Lu family, the father passed away suddenly, and the will has not yet been announced, so how can we be worthy of us as heirs if we don't fight for the inheritance? Woolen cloth?"

Xi Chen said, "It's true."

Lu Yan raised his head, smiled at him through the rearview mirror, stopped talking, took the men's clothes from the bag and changed them silently.
