What about the revenge line? [Rebirth]

Time flies by like a flash, Li Huaicheng has changed from a freshman student to a sophomore who is about to enter the third year. At the end of the second semester of the sophomore year, Li Huaicheng's 20th birthday will also come as scheduled.

The Li family pays attention to celebrating the whole year, so Li Huaicheng didn't make any big arrangements for his birthday, but just celebrated in private with his family and friends. He also likes such a relaxed atmosphere, but he can't do whatever he wants on his 20th birthday, it must be treated solemnly.

The whole birthday of every Li family member will be celebrated in Li's old house, and Li Huaicheng's 20th birthday is no exception.

A few days before his birthday, Li's mother had moved into the old house with her three children, firstly, to facilitate the preparation of the birthday party, and secondly, it was a rare opportunity to be able to accompany the two elders of Li's family here.

The usually quiet place suddenly became lively because of the addition of four people. The smiles on the faces of Mr. Li and Mrs. Li were much happier than usual.

Fang Bo, the housekeeper, watched Li Zhiming and Gao Sian grow up. Although he treated them politely and respectfully, in his heart, they were no different from his own children.

Gao Si'an was painting in the garden, and it was rare for Fang Bo not to accompany Mr. Li. Instead, he stood aside and watched her paint with a kind smile on his face. Looking at Li Huaixin's lively appearance in front of him, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Si'an After Miss came back with the three young masters and young lady, both the old gentleman and the old lady were very energetic."

"I'm just afraid that my parents will be disturbed after a long time." Gao Si'an dipped the paintbrush in his hand to pick up a bit of the adjusted color, and spread it on the canvas with appropriate strength, with a gentle smile on his face, "Huai Xin Now is the noisy time, and it's hard to coax her to take a nap at noon."

"If Master Huaicheng is here, Miss can sleep well." The butler laughed.

Gao Si'an paused for a moment when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Huaixin is clinging to Huaicheng even more now, if no one will listen to what he says, Huaicheng will be obedient as soon as he speaks."

"You should be happy when the relationship between siblings is good."

"The two of them just have such a good relationship." Gao Siyuan looked at Li Huaixin who was running around in the flowers, shook his head and smiled, "I can't do without her brother at all, and I will be in the first grade when school starts, so clingy. Still like a baby."

As soon as Gao Si'an finished speaking, Li Huaixin, who was sweating from running in the garden, ran up to her like a cannonball, with big eyes shining brightly: "Mom, mom, brother should have finished his studies by now, right? You can go play with your egg rolls." Yet?"

"Go." Gao Siyuan smiled helplessly, "If brother is still studying, you can't disturb him, just sit on the side and wait for brother to know?"

"understood!"

Li Huaicheng jumped up and ran away happily.

Gao Si'an looked at her lively back and sighed, "Looks like a monkey, more naughty than her two brothers."

Butler Fang smiled and said, "Generally naughty children are smarter."

"Huai Jin is also smart, but he wasn't naughty when he was a child." Gao Si'an looked nostalgic.

"Master Huaijin has been calm since he was a child, and at a young age, he can see that he will be independent when he grows up."

Gao Si'an couldn't help laughing, and said coquettishly, "No matter what I say, they don't have any shortcomings in your eyes."

Steward Fang smiled kindly, and said, "You and Master Zhiming didn't have any shortcomings in my opinion when they were young, they were good everywhere."

As soon as he put down the book in his hand, Li Huaicheng heard a rhythmic knock on the door: bang bang—bang bang bang—bang bang bang—accompanied by the little girl's crisp laughter.

"Come in." At this point, Li Huaixin must come here to look for him.

"Brother, brother!" Li Huaixin opened the door and threw herself into his arms, her eyes shining brightly: "Have you finished your homework? I want you to accompany me downstairs to find Chu Qi!"

Li Huaicheng took her hand and said with a smile: "Brother didn't finish his homework, are you going to drag Chu Qi up to find brother?"

"No way." Li Huaixin said, "Then I'll just sit here and obediently wait for brother."

Li Huaicheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, brother will accompany you down to play."

Although Li's house also has gardens and small courtyards, they are nothing compared to the big lawn in the old house where Chu Qi can run wildly. Therefore, every time I come to Li's house, Chu Qi spends no time except for meals and when Li Huaicheng takes it for a routine walk at night. Basically, he would play by himself in the garden. Anyway, everyone in the old house knew it, so Li Huaicheng didn't worry that it would suffer, and let it run around.

He took Li Huaixin to the lawn, but he didn't see Chu Qi's shadow. Li Huaixin put his hands on his mouth and yelled a few times, but Chu Qi didn't come out, so the two had to go to the courtyard to look for it.

Li Huaixin said as he walked, "Chu Qi is too disobedient. I told him to only play on the lawn, but he actually went to play elsewhere."

Li Huaicheng echoed her with a smile: "The egg roll can't be so disobedient."

"Egg rolls are not good, egg rolls are the most obedient." Li Huaixin replied with a smile, and saw a yellow flower hiding in front of him, ran over and squatted down to look at it, and waved to Li Huaicheng: "Brother, come and see, This flower is so cute!"

Li Huaicheng walked to her side and squatted down, and within two seconds she ran to other places, saying that the flower was beautiful and that the tree was interesting, completely forgetting the original intention of coming here.

It wasn't until a familiar bark suddenly sounded that she quickly raised her head and said to Li Huaicheng, "Brother, brother! I heard Chu Qi's voice! Let's go find it!"

After speaking, without waiting for Li Huaicheng to react, he ran towards the direction of the sound like a whirlwind, bouncing around very lively.

Li Huaicheng quickened his pace, his face was full of helpless doting smiles, someone said that children are the most curious when they are six or seven years old, and Li Huaixin is no exception. It caused Li's mother to fight every day when she was caught sleeping at noon.

"Brother, I saw Chu Qi!" Li Huaixin stood at the corner and waved to Li Huaicheng, with a bright smile on his face: "Its white tail is exposed, brother, hurry up, we will chase it."

Obviously, Chu Qi will come running over after calling out, but the children are obsessed with this kind of hide-and-seek game, and never get tired of it.

After Li Huaixin finished speaking, she disappeared around the corner, only hearing the energetic sound of her little leather shoes stepping on the wooden bridge, and occasionally Chu Qi's cry.

Li Huaicheng followed Li Huaixin's footsteps not too far away, and suddenly heard her footsteps stop abruptly, followed by Chu Qi's bark, he thought she had found Chu Qi, and walked over there with a smile Said: "Have you found Chu Qi?"

Li Huaixin stood where he was, staring blankly at a small door in front of him, with a frightened expression on his face.

Li Huaicheng frowned, glanced at the door Li Huaixin was looking at, hugged her and said, "What's wrong with the egg roll?"

Li Huaixin hugged his neck tightly, as if he was frightened by something, his whole body trembled, the voice of Chu Qi in front was still calling, Li Huaicheng looked at the wooden door with half-closed eyes, walked over lightly and pushed it open .

Outside the door is a small path, which leads to the back mountain. Li Huaicheng remembers this door. When passing by, Li Huaijin said that this is a small door that can go to the back, and you can also go out from here, but it is a distance from the main road.

Li Huaicheng's eyes dimmed, and when he heard Chu Qi's call getting farther and farther away, he raised his voice and called Chu Qi's name, and sure enough, the call stopped, and he should have returned.

"Brother..." Li Huaixin hugged Li Huaicheng's neck and did not let go, buried his face on his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I just saw a person...so scared..."

Li Huaicheng glanced at the empty courtyard, patted Li Huaixin's back comfortingly, and said softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid of egg rolls, brother is here."

Chu Qi ran back within a few minutes, the hair on its legs and body was stained with mud, and it ran over and barked at Li Huaicheng.

Li Huaicheng looked at the wooden door with half-closed eyes calmly, closed the door again, hugged Li Huaixin, and followed Chu Qi back to the old house.

Bringing Li Huaixin to the room, Li Huaicheng squatted down and looked at her, and asked seriously: "Who did Egg Roll see? Why are you afraid? Do Egg Roll remember his name?"

Li Huaixin nodded, apparently still not recovered, whispered: "Uncle, the uncle I met, the uncle I saw at the playground last time, he took the egg roll away."

Li Huaicheng's expression turned cold, he suppressed the hostility in his eyes, hugged Li Huaixin to comfort her, thoughtful.

Because the next day was Li Huaicheng's 20th birthday, Li's father, who hadn't moved back to the old house because of his busy schedule, came back today, and the three generations of the Li family had a rare dinner together.

After dinner, Li Huaicheng called Li Huaijin and Li's father to the study.

"what happened?"

Li Zhiming was a little surprised. It was the first time that his youngest son called him and the eldest son to the study with a serious face. It seemed that he had something important to say.

Li Huaicheng walked to the side and sat down, with a very serious expression on his smiling face: "I have something to say."

Li Huaijin was also curious, sat down and asked, "Is it about your birthday tomorrow?"

"No." Li Huaicheng shook his head, his frowning brows never loosened: "Father, brother, do you know that the small door in the courtyard of the old house, other than Grandpa Fang, who else can enter and exit privately?"

Li Huaijin was taken aback, thought for a while and said, "I'm not very clear about this matter, it should only be Fang Bo."

Li Zhiming didn't expect that Li Huaicheng called them here to ask this question, but he spent his entire childhood and adolescence in the old house, so he naturally knew more than his elder son, so he replied: "The key to the small door is not only Fang Bo, but also There is a gardener who manages the garden, but he retired a few years ago, why do you ask this?"

"Retired gardener?" Li Huaicheng frowned slightly, "Is there anyone else who might get the key there?"

Hearing that Li Huaicheng asked the courtyard several questions in a row, Li Huaijin and Li Zhiming also paid attention to it.

Li Zhiming became serious: "I need to ask Fang Bo about this, I am not very clear about the specifics, why do you want to know who has the key to the courtyard gate?"

"When I was playing with Huai Xin in the courtyard today, she said that she saw the person who took her away from the playground. When I passed by, that person had already run away through the small gate of the courtyard."

Li Huaijin's expression changed slightly, and his smiling face sank in an instant. Even though he knew that Li Huaicheng would not joke about it, he subconsciously asked, "Are you sure?"

Li Huaicheng nodded lightly: "I'm not sure if he didn't run away from the small gate or if he was going to leave from the small gate. When I saw Huai Xin, she was already so frightened that she just said that the person was at the small gate. Then she went out and said that the person had the key in his hand, so I asked you who else has the key besides Fang Bo."

Li Zhiming's eyes were dark, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, and immediately said to the other side: "Send me another copy of the surveillance footage from the day Huai Xin fell into the water, especially the screenshot of the man wearing the hat and sunglasses that day."

After Li Huaixin fell into the water, the Li family has been investigating, but just like investigating Li Huaicheng when he was dropped, because there is no clue, there is no clue at all.

The community where Li's family lives is an extremely hidden high-end villa group in Qing City. The checks for entering and exiting the community are very strict, and there will be security patrols at regular intervals. Strangers will appear inside and take Li Huaixin to the artificial lake without being found. The possibility is almost zero.

However, this happened just like this. Even though Li's family searched almost the entire neighborhood and checked the cameras in every corner of the neighborhood, they couldn't find the suspect.

The only one who seemed suspicious was a strange man who appeared on the camera next to the playground for a moment, but that man was wearing sunglasses and a hat, so he couldn't see his face clearly at all, and he seemed to be very familiar with all the cameras in the community, even if he was The camera that captured him only captured a small part of his upper body, and he couldn't even see his figure clearly.

Because of this incident, the high-level management of the community has apologized to the Li family many times, and even dismissed all the security guards and guards who were on duty in the community that day, just to give the Li family an explanation.

However, dismissing the security guard and the doorman did not allow them to find the suspect. The man seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Except for the corner of the camera, there was no picture of entering or exiting the community at all.

In addition, Li Huaixin could hardly provide any clues in the description, so more than a year has passed, and he has not been able to find out why.

This incident has almost become a ticking time bomb in the hearts of Li's family. For more than a year, Li Huaixin's mother would personally pick her up and drop off Li Huaixin every day when she went to and from school.

Although Li's mother is a little exaggerated, Li's family, including Li Huaicheng, is acquiescing. If the person who caused Li Huaixin to fall into the water can't be found out for a day, Li Huaixin's safety will not be guaranteed. Compared with keeping her in unknown dangers, Excessive protection completely cut off the possibility of her being killed, but it was more acceptable to the Li family.

The picture of the man's blurry appearance was quickly sent, and Li Huaicheng and Li Huaijin were all looking at it in front of Li's father's computer. In fact, they had seen this picture countless times before, and they couldn't figure out anything after looking at it now.

Li Zhiming's face was gloomy, and Li Huaijin said: "Why don't you let Fang Bo take a look? Since that person may work in the old house, it is possible that Fang Bo knows him?"

Just after hearing Li Huaicheng's words, Li Zhiming's heart sank. He naturally knew this, but he thought more about it. If the person who killed Li Huaixin was really from the old house, then he must Don't put everyone in the old house in the position of the suspect or the person behind the suspect.

This meant that Uncle Fang was also suspicious. Naturally, he was unwilling to suspect the old man who had watched him grow up, but this matter was of great importance, and he had to guard against it.

After Li Huaijin finished speaking, he also realized that if this person is really from the old house, then Fang Bo is the most suspected person, because Fang Bo keeps all the keys of the entire old house.

Seeing the expressions of Li Zhiming and Li Huaijin, Li Huaicheng knew that they had also thought of this, which is why he did not show any abnormalities all afternoon, and waited until after dinner before finding an excuse to call them to the study. .

"If Fang Bo is involved," Li Huaicheng said, "then he probably already knows what we are talking about in the study, because the person who left in the afternoon should have told Fang Bo that Huai Xin saw him. .”

Li Zhiming frowned and raised his brows. After a moment of contemplation, he got up and said, "I will deal with this matter. If it is someone from the old house, I should be able to find out in a few days. Don't show any clues."

Li Huaicheng and Li Huaijin nodded in agreement, but their expressions were very solemn when they left the study.

There are different concepts in the north and south of China. The south generally believes that a child is an adult, but the north believes that the real adult is after the age of 20. It is not only the full birthday every ten years, but also the only day of adulthood once in a lifetime. Therefore, almost all People in the north will hold a big party on their children's 20th birthday.

The same is true for Li Huaicheng's 20th birthday party. The Li family started preparations early on. Today's party is more grand than the birthday party when he just returned to Li's house five years ago.

At noon, the Li family had a simple meal, and the guests would arrive in the afternoon. Just after noon, the whole Li family began to get busy.

Li Huaicheng stood on the terrace and looked down at Fang Bo leading the other servants to prepare everything in an orderly manner, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

As the protagonist of the birthday party, Li Huaicheng became the most leisurely one. Boys don’t need to dress up too much, and Li’s mother has already prepared the clothes he will wear today, so he just got up in the morning and made a hairstyle. What's the matter, just need to change clothes before the guests come.

A shiny car slowly drove in from the driveway on the left side of the lawn, the door opened on the front lawn, and a slim woman appeared in Li Huaicheng's field of vision, with a faint smile on her face, she walked over to meet Fang Bo said a few words, but there was no smile on Fang Bo's face, he seemed to reprimand her a few words, and then she turned and went into the room.

Li Huaicheng glanced across Fang Bo's serious expression, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Fang Rui came very early. She is not only a guest of Li's family, but she is also half of the owner since she grew up here, so she found Li Huaicheng on the terrace as soon as she came, and said with a smile: "Little birthday boy Why are you standing here? The sun is so big, can you bask in it?"

Li Huaicheng turned around and said with a smile, "Aunt Fang, you are here. Mom is in the back garden."

Fang Rui came over with a smile, winked at him and said, "I came here on purpose to say happy birthday to you, happy birthday, Huaicheng."

"Thank you." Li Huaicheng accepted the blessing with a smile.

Fang Rui shook her head: "The older you get, the more meaningless you become. Forget it, I'm going to find Si'an. You're here to wait for your friend. The terrace is still too hot. Wait. Maybe I'll ask someone to bring you an umbrella and bring some fruit and drinks over, it's better for you to sit and wait."

Li Huaicheng accepted Fang Rui's kindness, smiled and said, "Then thank you, Aunt Fang."

Not long after Fang Rui left, servants came over with umbrellas and fruits and drinks.

"Second Young Master, is the umbrella next to you?" Someone asked.

Li Huaicheng waved his hand and said lightly: "Just put it aside, and fruit drinks too."

Several servants looked at each other, and lightly arranged the tables and chairs, then arranged the fruit plate and drinks and snacks in a very beautiful appearance, and then left quietly.

Li Huaicheng didn't stand for long when Zhou Ziyou's sports car appeared in his field of vision. He was also very familiar with the cars behind him, and a smile quickly appeared on his cold face.

As soon as Zhou Ziyou got out of the car, he saw Li Huaicheng on the balcony on the second floor. He took off his sunglasses and waved to him playfully, making a gesture to indicate that he would go up immediately.Jiang Siyuan and He Dong who got off the car only a while behind him also waved to him, and the three of them appeared on the second-floor terrace not long after.

As soon as they came up, they saw the fruit plate and snacks in the middle. Zhou Ziyou ate a piece of iced watermelon, let out a comfortable breath, and said, "Chengzi, have you been expecting us to come, so you even prepared the fruits?" alright."

Jiang Siyuan walked up to Li Huaicheng, handed him the gift in his hand, and said with crooked eyebrows, "Happy birthday."

Li Huaicheng took the gift, under Jiang Siyuan's expectant eyes, hesitantly said: "Should I open it now?"

Jiang Siyuan nodded with sparkling eyes, Zhou Ziyou and He Dong also surrounded him and handed the prepared gifts to Li Huaicheng one after another.

He Dong said: "Happy birthday, Orange, I wanted to say happy birthday to you as soon as I came up, but I didn't expect to be preempted by Jiang Siyuan."

Zhou Ziyou proudly said: "I said happy birthday to Cheng Zi early this morning, it's useless for you to be the first to say happy birthday, and the first to give gifts. Obviously I'm the one he loves the most."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Ziyou grabbed Li Huaicheng's shoulder and asked, "Right, Cheng Zi, I'm the one you love the most, right?"

Jiang Siyuan glanced past Zhou Ziyou holding Li Huaicheng's hand, pulled him away and said calmly: "Yesterday, Huaicheng and I called from eleven o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning, and I told him at midnight Happy birthday, I'm sure he hasn't seen your text by then."

"Fuck!" Zhou Ziyou said, "I just said why I can't get through on the phone, Jiang Siyuan, you are a scheming ghost!"

Jiang Siyuan raised his eyebrows, put the gifts from He Dong and Zhou Ziyou on the table aside, leaving only his own gift in Li Huaicheng's hands, smiled and said to Zhou Ziyou: "Also, I am his favorite." That one, he said it yesterday."
