The other end of the phone thought silently for a few seconds, before realizing who he was, Ji Liaochi asked, "Who?"

"...what do you say?"

"No," Ji Liao asked, "so what did Gao Kuiliang tell you?"

"I didn't say anything," Yan Cun was quite honest, "Just say that you know everything, let me ask you, and let me not trust you too much."

He paused for a few seconds, then said in a low voice, "You said earlier that 'you told me so much about Fang Yushan to win me over', you wanted me to unite with you...then are you with me? It's also because..."

"No," Ji Liao quickly interrupted him, changed the subject and asked again, "How about the theft?"

"Hmm... probably the target has been identified. It's a girl named Jiang Linlin from Gao Kuiliang's company. It is confirmed that she is one of the children Fang Yushan sponsored before." Yan Cun quickly brought the topic back, "So the fire case of my parents Can you give me the clues and results tonight?"

"Yes," Ji Liao said, "I'll tell you when I go back tonight, that's why I came to find Xiao Zhiyu today."

He thought for a while, then hesitated: "Actually... um... I..."

"You don't need to say it," Yan Cun said, "I know."

Having said all this, he could no longer deceive himself and pretend to be confused, and said in a muffled voice, "It's not just that you have tried to design Gao Kuiliang and Fang Yushan from a very early age, in fact, you already have clues to prove that The person who set the fire was Fang Yushan, but there is no definite evidence, and he knew that Gao Kuiliang had a way to restrain Fang Yushan and the evidence of the original arson case, so you played a role in promoting the process of this matter, and you even managed to win him over Take a look at my uncertain 'factor', in case the plan is ruined by my impulse at the end."

Ji Liao knew that Fang Yushan was trying every means to target Gao Kuiliang, and took advantage of this opportunity to guide him to focus on both Fang Yushan and Gao Kuiliang, causing the police to suspect Fang Yushan and at the same time let Gao Kuiliang be interrogated for the crime, and he may have known Gao Kuiliang for a long time. Illness and Gao Yaya’s threat, I know that Gao Kuiliang may cooperate with him when there is no way out, and contribute to the flames, in order to help protect Gao Yaya’s conditions to negotiate cooperation, Gao Kuiliang will restrict Fang Yushan’s methods and the evidence of the arson case offered to him.

Gao Kuiliang and Fang Yushan are in crisis, facing the crisis of downfall, Ji Liao doesn't have to do anything throughout the process, all he needs to do is induce the other two parties to kill each other.

Good one kills multiple birds with one stone.

So when he told Ji Liao what happened when he was a child, Ji Liao said he wanted to help him find out the truth, it was definitely not because Ji Liao liked him since then, but because the arson case inspired Ji Liao Among them, the evidence can speed up the process of Fang Yushan's downfall. It can only be because this matter is consistent with his original purpose, and it can only be because all of this happens to be on the same channel as what Ji Liao wants to do.

So Ji Liao's third-party position is the oriole behind the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole.

"If you didn't have enmity with both of them, I really can't think of any reason for you to do this," Yan Cun said in a daze, "Don't say that it's because you like me, because you want to help me find out about my parents. The truth of death, this is too naive, even dogs don’t believe it, so if you think about it, just think of some normal excuses.”

If it wasn't for the fact that there was no conflict of opinion, Ji Liao was indeed on the side of 'justice'.

He heard Xiao Zhiyu's voice seem to be playing in the background of Ji Liao, and Ji Liao asked Xiao Zhiyu to wait for him outside, then came back to his senses, and quickly said: "...became smart."

"... Wouldn't it be wiser to be with you? Otherwise, I'll be sold by you and I'll count the money for you." Yan Cun asked, "Are you busy? I'll talk about it later."

"I'm not busy, I'll have dinner later," Ji Liao said, "I'm a little bit smarter, I guessed half right, you are indeed 'one of the uncertain factors', but I'm not with you for this, yesterday you and I will give back what I said to you now, I really really like you, and I really have no grudge against Fang Yushan Gao Kuiliang, really not."

"Hmm..." Yan Cun was dubious, "Then you..."

"This matter is too complicated and difficult. You may not believe it. It involves a lot." Ji Liao thought for a while, "The clues to the fire case have been collected, and there may be more things to deal with recently, and we will deal with them later. After finishing these things, I will tell you everything, okay?"

"..." Yan Cun smiled, "You have too many secrets."

"I……"

"That's fine, let's not count this account first," Yan Cun asked, "So what's the result of the fire case?"

"Well...Fang Yushan is more cautious in his actions. In fact, everyone knows what he has done over the years, but there is no actual evidence. This arson case is one of the few confirmed cases at present." Ji Liao said, "Gao Kuiliang does have evidence of Fang Yushan's arson in his hands, and he also knows a little bit about the cause. But the case has been too long, and it may not be possible to successfully identify Fang Yushan. The probability of overturning the case is half and half. Gao Kuiliang doesn’t trust me [-]% either, and there is still some other criminal evidence at hand that has not been released, and there is a risk of betrayal at any time and anywhere. So a few days ago, I asked Xiao Zhiyu to find out whether anyone else was involved in Liang Jiawen’s case, and asked Shake Gao Kuiliang from other aspects, as long as Gao Kuiliang can completely identify Fang Yushan in the end, there will be a chance for this matter, otherwise everything he has done before will fall short.”

Ji Liao knows in his heart that he is not a purely good person. Sometimes he thinks that he is the one who really tends to think too much. He has to think carefully about every step he takes. I also don't like this self who is too forward-looking.

Yan Cun was stunned for a while, and was firmly nailed to the spot by the words "Fang Yushan set fire". The psychological preparation he had made for so long before collapsed, and he didn't listen carefully at all in the second half: "The cause... After ? What is it?"

"..." Ji Liao suppressed his emotions, and softened his tone as if flattering, "Go back and talk to you, okay? I can't make it clear on the phone."

He seemed to think of something, and quickly added: "There are not many secrets, and I don't mean to deceive you. There is too much information about this matter. I'm afraid I won't be by your side, you..."

"Got it," Yan Cun lowered his eyes, "I know, it's been so many years, it doesn't matter if I know it later."

It was a little cold by the window, and he was a little weak due to hypoglycemia. He sat back at his desk and reached for a water glass: "Ji Liao, so now I understand the truth, and I also know what you want to do. I know you I have always been very scheming, step by step..."

"No...not..." Ji Liao was stunned, "I didn't..."

"So why should I trust you from now on?" Yan Cun said, "You didn't lie to me, but you have a lot of secrets, many of which I can't know, and I don't even know who you are planning behind your back." ——so why should I trust you in the future?"

"..." Ji Liao said, "Liang Wanyi is my stepmother."

"...?!??" As if Ji Liao didn't expect such a sudden sentence, Yan Cun's water cup was almost frightened away, and he paused for a few seconds before realizing who Ji Liao was talking about Liang Wanyi. "ah?"

"Let me tell you, the Liang Wanyi mentioned in Liang Jiawen's case before," Ji Liao took a deep breath, "is my father Ji Cheng's second-married wife, my sister's biological mother, and my stepmother. The suspicion is not serious, the people from the Dongcheng branch didn't ask so deeply, and even if they asked, they didn't specifically mention my relationship with her, so you don't know about it."

"..." Yan Cun remained silent for a long time, "??!?"

"So don't tell me that I have a lot of secrets," Ji Liao said in a hoarse voice, "It's too difficult, too complicated, involving too many people, it's difficult to handle, I will tell you all when I have a chance, okay?"

He was a little disappointed and added: "If possible, I hope I can be a person without secrets."

"..." Yan Cun opened his mouth, "I..."

No wonder Ji Liao said before that he couldn't see Liang Wanyi. It turned out that there was still such a relationship - he couldn't say anything for a while, and was shocked by the sudden amount of information.

"No, no..."

He thought about what Ji Liao just said, and felt a little sad, his mind turned quickly, and he quickly remembered the Ji Liao who was cold outside and hot inside.

He remembered the self who felt sorry for Ji Liao's background back then.

So what is the cause of this personality...

He suddenly remembered the time when he let Ji Liao stay at his home. He had analyzed it early on, and he should have understood when Ji Liao said that he "doesn't have a home either".

"It's not...bao, baby..." Yan Cun's voice was startled, "you...have you...have you experienced something...you didn't tell me..."

Maybe Ji Liao has always been too strong in front of him, and Ji Liao has been saving him all this time, so that he didn't realize the reason behind Ji Liao's doing this.

Recalling the details revealed in Ji Liao's words before, he should have understood earlier.

Ji Liao uttered the monosyllable "I", paused for a long time, and his tone was a little fragile: "I, I will tell you... okay?"

"I, I understand! I understand!" Yan Cun took a breath, "Don't, it's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't talk about it first! It's okay!"

"Why do you still believe me?" Ji Liao's voice was weak, "Because you also want to know the truth, because you want to uphold justice, so you believe me, and trust me a little longer...does it work?"

"No, no! I believe in you, I really believe in you!" Yan Cun regretted saying so much, "Don't do this!"

Ji Liao's heart was peeped out of nowhere, he couldn't react for a while, suppressed his emotions, pretended to be unhappy and said to Ji Liao: "You child... don't talk about things! You have to pretend to be calm. Look! You have to be found out before you reveal the truth... Are you fucking Yan Cun No. [-]?!"
