Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen

Do you want to see the record on the day Sha Kailin died?Bai Aili held a cigarette in her hand and looked at them through the smoke.What a coincidence! Anna and Reeve became nervous at the same time, and Winston also seemed to sense the difference in the atmosphere, and followed them to look up at Bai Aili. Alright, Ellie Bai, you've already given us a lot of attention.Reeve said.What do you mean by coincidence?Did anyone else borrow that record from you? But not very politely, about a week after Karin died, someone from the research center broke into my apartment and took only one item.Guess what it is?

Anna said nervously: The record of that night? right.Bai Aili thumped the table.At that moment, I knew something big must have happened that night.But the next morning everyone was talking about Shakeline's death in an accident, or that Reeve might be involved in murder.You say, is this too unusual? Rafe watched her carefully.You still think someone from the research center killed her? Bai Aili looked at him proudly.In my opinion, there are only two possibilities for this matter.First, they murdered Kailin to divert attention from what was going on in the research center or?Anna urged her curiously.

Bai Aili lowered her voice and said mysteriously: Or, as I said that night, the girl from the Sha family saw something she shouldn't see.No matter what the reason is, the people in the research center are trying to kill people and use Reeve as a victim.Anna, if it weren't for you, he would already be in jail. Anna was depressed.They knew that it was not easy to borrow something from Bai Aili, but they never expected that the things were gone. Who do you think stole your things?asked Reeve. As I just said, a person from a research center. Um.Reeve glances at Anna. She smiled encouragingly and said to Ellie Bai: Do you remember which cars left around midnight that night and came back before the party was over?

Ellie shook her head dejectedly.Eight years later, I only remember that there were so many cars that night that there were no vacancies for almost the whole night.There are many cars coming and going, some are researchers from out of town, and most are good local residents. Reeve leaned back in his chair dejectedly.Damn, I told you years ago that you should enter the data into the computer. Ellie snorted disdainfully.Computers cannot be trusted, any kid can break in and steal anything. It is not more appropriate for you to record the information in a notebook.Rif grumbled. Ellie shrugged, watching her guest carefully.

Ana turns to Reeve.Any other great ideas? let me see.He rubs the back of his neck.Sjedi said he could find me a guest list for that night. It would take many days to investigate the whereabouts of so many people for those two hours.Anna said.I'm afraid I'll never find out.As Ellie said, eight years later, who still remembers the details of that night? Maybe Jedi could help, he was in charge of the interview that night, maybe he still had notes. Anna thought about it, then shook her head.Even if he still keeps his notes, the content is mainly about newsy big figures, and it is impossible to record the whereabouts of everyone present.

If we're right, we're looking for someone who is newsworthy, or, at least, has something to do with Sandriver's election.Riff stood up.Jedi might be able to help, worth a try. It seems that we have no choice.Anna followed to stand up.There is no record of Bai Aili I didn't say there was no record of that night.Allie said slowly. Anna immediately sat back down.What did you say? Rafe put his hands on the table.Allie?You just said that the record was stolen. Ellie laughed softly.The original records were indeed stolen. original record?asked Reeve. Ellie said proudly: I have been doing this for so long, and I am not a rookie.The first thing I do when I go home every day is to make an extra copy of the records.

Rafe started to smile.I should have guessed it. Anna began to feel hopeful.Ellie, where's your copy of the record? Hidden in the cave with other copies.Ellie checks her watch.I went to dig it out and it took about two hours back and forth.How about meeting at Zhumeng Garden at eleven o'clock? We will wait for you.Rafe straightened up.Thank you, Ellie Bai, I really appreciate it. You're welcome.Ellie stood up too.Glad someone finally noticed the bad things about the research center. River pulled Anna towards the door.Bai Aili, if we find anything, we will definitely keep in touch with you.

that's all.Bai Aili hesitated and said with concern.Also, you two be careful, you hear me?You have already provoked the people in the research center, whoever ordered to kill the girl from the Sha family is likely to kill again. Anna shuddered.about that record Also, Bai Aili interrupted her.How long do you two plan to live together in Zhumengyuan? Anna suddenly became angry, and immediately turned to stare at Ellie. We don't live together! Rafe gripped her arm tightly.Anna, there is no time to talk about this right now. No wonder!Ana held the doorknob to prevent Reeve from pushing her out.Before I leave, I want to make things clear.Reeve and I were just living in Zhumengyuan, discussing how to deal with the mess left by Isa, we didn't live together.

I can't see any difference.Ellie said. In my opinion, there is a big difference.Anna said angrily.We slept in rooms on different floors. This seems inconvenient.Ellie said. After getting into the car, Reeve could still feel Anna angrily.Winston licked her ears in the backseat to reassure her, but she was still angry. Reeve tried to divert her attention. Although Bai Aili has a different view on things, she will not make things out of nothing, he said.She thinks the records were stolen and I believe her. It's been eight years, and maybe she just forgot where. Bai Aili is an organized person, she will never forget where things are placed.Believe me.He slowed down as he passed the pier.Makes you curious, doesn't it?

That's right.I'm so annoyed, it's bad enough hearing people say we're dating, and now everyone thinks we're living together in public, it's really annoying. We live together, almost. Don't you find it annoying? Won't.Anna, let's not talk about anything else, we're talking about the missing notes. I find it annoying.I know that you Mai family are very used to other people's gossip, but our He family has always disliked being the object of discussion. He knew that she was like a hedgehog now, tense and full of anger. They've been talking about us the first day we've been back in Eclipse Bay, he said calmly.You didn't mind then, why are you so allergic now?

I'm done.She looked out the window at the bay.I thought everything would be taken care of now, only to be back at square one.I was going to buy your half of the property and start running the hotel business now.However, things are getting more and more complicated. What you said, he said cautiously.I think you're referring to our relationship, not the fact that we woke up the murderer? Yes, I mean our relationship. He clenched the steering wheel tightly, trying to maintain his composure.All right!You want to discuss this now? don't want. He sighed.He should have felt relieved, but instead he was disappointed. Simple, he said.So let's move on to the recording thing! Why bother?There's nothing we can do until Ellie Bai finds her copy. He let go.up to you.I need to come on. then go! follow orders. He drove the car to the main business district of the town, where Chamberlain University and research centers made it lively, including supermarkets, post offices, and various shops. He stopped at a gas station and turned off the engine.However, he found that his anger was gradually rising. I want you to stop that.he said. how to stop Stop sulking.Both Winston and I are beginning to be influenced by you. I am angry and I have every right to be angry.I can be angry for as long as I like. He has had enough!He turned around, resting his hand on the back of the chair.What the hell is going on with you?An irrelevant cohabitation rumor, why does it make you so angry? I hate that adjective. live together?He shrugged.You have to live with the opinions of the older generation. Now, you're also starting to use this adjective.We don't live together. OK, take it easy.Reeve saw a familiar figure walking towards the car.Damn, isn't that Yin Shandi? Anna glanced out the window.probably! Rafe knocked on the car door.He really doesn't look like he's changed, does he? yes!Anna pursed her lips and said.It still looks like the boring virtue of looking up a date's name on the bathroom wall. Men must make good use of all resources.Reeve got out of the car, closed the door, lowered his head and said to Anna through the car window: You better stop staring at me like that, otherwise, Sandy will think that we have a quarrel between lovers.If you think the current rumors are already annoying, think about what it would be like to add another rumor that we had a fight? Anna decided to ignore it. Hi!River. Reeve straightened up.Hi Sandy. I heard you're back. Is everything going well?Sandy bowed again to greet Anna in the car.Hi!anna. Hello!Sandy. Sandy looks at Reeve with interest.What can I do for you? I just have to work hard.Reeve reaches for the gas hose.Sandy, how are you doing? fine.said Sandy proudly, as he began to wipe the car windows.I bought the gas station two years ago. real?Reeve said.Congratulations.The summer business must be particularly good, right? That's right.Sandy rolled his eyes.It looks like you're doing well, too. Passable.Reeve suddenly realizes that stopping for gas is not a good idea. However, it is too late to regret now.Sandy had put down the rag and approached Reeve to speak in a low voice. I heard that you and Anna were very happy in Zhumeng Garden? I hear you, Sandy Yoon!Anna yelled loudly in the car.That is not true.If you say that again, I swear, I'll strangle you with a gas hose.Did you hear me? Sandy took a step back in panic.Hey!Anna, I mean no harm, really.Just talking casually! Asshole, Ana said.Just because you're looking for phone numbers on the bathroom wall to date women doesn't mean everyone is looking for the same one-night flings as you do. Of course, of course.Sandy gives Reeve a begging look. I got it done.Reeve quickly lowered the gas hose.How much? Oh, eleven dollars and fifty-five cents.said Sandy. A Cadillac pulls in, and a woman with too much glue sprayed on her head pokes out.Merif, is that you? Yes, Mrs. Xi.Reeve quickly took out his wallet and counted the money. Sheidi gave Reeve a head-to-toe look.Wow!You are doing well! Reeve felt his face heat up.He didn't blush easily, but Mrs. Xi did it. Nice to see you, Mrs. Xi.Hell, he didn't have fifty-five cents.He concentrated on taking out the money while talking.Are you still running that antique shop around the corner? yes!If I don't open that store, I don't know what else to do.Mrs. Xi looked into the car.It is you?anna. yes!Mrs. Xi.Anna's voice was stiff. I heard that you and Reeve have inherited Dreamland.Shortly before Isha decided to do the conveyancing, I spoke to her about it and she was so excited to leave the house to you.Mrs. Xi rolled her eyes.She is always so romantic. uh-huh.Anna's voice became more indistinct. A crowd of people near the gas station gradually emerged, and some people began to look over here. At this time, another car drove by.It was a familiar green luxury car, the driver's window was rolled down, and Debarry in a suit and sunglasses appeared. There are more and more people, and he can't delay any longer.Reeve hurriedly tosses a bill to Sandy.Look no further, bye. After speaking, he hurried to open the door and prepare to get in the car. But he was still a step behind.A pickup truck pulls up just in front of his Porsche, and a burly man in jeans and a baseball cap gets out. Merif.The big man shouted happily.haven't seen you for a long time. Hello, Peter. Peter Li showed a curious face and said: I heard that you and the girl from the He family shared a dream garden?What exactly is going on?you two really Before he could finish speaking, the door of the Porsche opened suddenly. enough!Anna jumped out angrily like an erupting volcano, and Winston jumped out of the car excitedly. A man and a dog approached Peter.Reeve felt that something was wrong, but it was like watching a movie, and there was nothing he could do but wait and see. Wow!Peter raised his hands in surrender, backing hurriedly to his car.Calm down, Anna.Am I saying something wrong?What did I say? Not what you say, but what you intend to say!Anna yelled loudly.You thought I was living with Reeve, didn't you? live together?No, I didn't say that.Riff, did I say that?Peter helplessly calls Reeve for help. Rafe ignored him.He was busy admiring Anna's furious appearance.Her whole body was exuding anger like it was on fire. Who would have thought that the members of the He family would be furious in public? Winston followed closely at her feet, his four little feet moving rapidly. This is really a rare scene, but there will definitely be sequelae. Riff cleared his throat.anna She ignores him.He sighed and leaned against the car door to watch from the sidelines.Later, when she blames him for making her look ugly in public, he will only be able to remind her that it's not that he didn't stop her. Listen carefully, Peter.Anna stood in front of the big man with her hands on her waist.Reeve and I did not, I repeat, did not live together in Zhumengyuan.understand? Of course, Peter said hastily.No cohabitation. Mrs. Xi said with great interest: I heard that you are planning to get married? What?Anna turned sharply to her.Who did you listen to? Heard it at the post office this morning.Mrs. Xi said happily.I ran into Mitch to pick up the letter, and he said he thought you and Reeve would be an ideal match.He said that you may announce your marriage at any time.is that true? no.Anna raised her voice.We are not getting married! Riff pursed his lips. Everyone looked surprised. Really?asked Mrs. Xi. certainly.Anna gritted her teeth and said.Rafe and I never discussed getting married. Reeve suddenly felt a wave of anger rushing up, and he couldn't suppress it.Who says it hasn't been discussed? Anna turned sharply and stared at him.What did you say? I said, we have discussed this topic. Shit!Anna yelled. I admit, we haven't talked very seriously, but you can't say we haven't talked at all. Merif, how dare you play tricks on me here!She took a step closer to him.You never proposed to me! You've heard Mitch talk about my phobias. Don't tell me that stupid excuse about phobias!It was you who said the best way to overcome a phobia is to face it.But I don't see any intention of confronting you. All right!His stomach was almost cramping with tension.I speak to you now. He heard Mrs. Sean hold her breath, and the others stared at them, even De Barry staring at them. It wasn't a real proposal, and her voice was oddly nervous.It's a joke.Rafe, I don't appreciate jokes like that at all. no joke.he said softly.I really propose to you.can i get your answer She stared at him, a icy look on her face.Then, a horrible thing happened, he found that her eyes were wet, and then her lips began to tremble. damn it!He knew that if she was made to cry in public, she would never forgive him for the rest of her life. He immediately rushed up and put an arm around her waist.Sorry guys, we have work to do. He let her into the car before anyone else figured out what was going on. When their car left the gas station, he could still see excited faces in the rearview mirror.He was sure that before five in the afternoon the whole town would know about his public proposal at the gas station. He glanced uneasily at Anna, who was blinking furiously, apparently having largely controlled her tears. I'm very sorry.Reeve said. shut up! He tried his best to think in a good direction, at least, she didn't reject him.
