Chapter 66 The Long Shadow

When Shen Boyan thought of this, the chill in his heart spread to his limbs.

He never thought that the system's tentacles could spread from now to the distant past.

At this moment, he could no longer disconnect the past events from this 'system'.

Cheng Wenjun's "lateness" is similar to the system's punishment model.

For example, if a coincidence occurs on the road, as long as Cheng Wenjun is delayed for a short period of time and he is a little late, he is late.

But there was one more thing Shen Boyan didn't want to understand.

Why does the system do this?

He didn't understand what consequences Cheng Wenjun's tardiness would bring and what direction it would take their relationship to.

What is its purpose?

Shen Boyan leaned against the door and bit his nails.

Only one step away from the final truth. But he knew too little, and most of the things were just based on his own speculations, which were naturally not enough to point to the results. But who could he ask? Ask Meng Xinqiao?

Shen Boyan bit his nails for a moment.

The rationality faded a little, and another inexplicable emotion floated up again.

Meng Xinqiao knew everything, but forcibly kept Shen Boyan in the dark, unwilling to let him get involved in this matter.

But how could he completely separate it?

He is obviously the other party in this matter and cannot be alone.

Shen Boyan took a deep breath in confusion and turned on his phone.

Instead of looking for Meng Xinqiao, he sent a message to Fang Shengyun.

Shen Boyan: [Do you know where they will go tomorrow? ]

Fang Shengyun replied to him: [I don’t know, but I plan to follow him tomorrow. ]

Then Fang Shengyun sent out a warm invitation: [How about it, do you want to come with me? ]

Shen Boyan readily agreed: [Yes. ]

Fang Shengyun made an 'ok' expression.

[Contact me tomorrow morning. 】...

The next day is the weekend, but Cheng Wenjun and the others obviously don't have a holiday.

Shen Boyan opened the door and saw Cheng Wenjun busy preparing to put on his shoes and go out.

When Cheng Wenjun saw Shen Boyan, he immediately smiled: "Xiaoyan, I'm going to the company first."

"Are you going to the company on the weekend?" Shen Boyan looked up at him and asked casually.

"Yes, Xiaoyan also knows that there are a lot of things going on in the company recently." Cheng Wenjun said, "I have to attend the dinner hosted by Qi's family. I will probably not be able to get back until later tonight."

Shen Boyan said "Oh".

Cheng Wenjun was obviously a little disappointed when he didn't receive Shen Boyan's instructions and greetings.

But maybe he was too busy at work and didn't have time to talk to Shen Boyan anymore. He just said "I'm leaving first" and turned to leave.

Shen Boyan contacted Fang Shengyun while eating breakfast.

Fang Shengyun got up early and told Shen Boyan: "He is going to the villa to receive guests in the morning, and Meng Xinqiao is also there." 】

【And you? ] Shen Boyan asked him.

[That villa belongs to my friend’s house. ] Fang Shengyun replied proudly, [I'm coming to see you now, shall we go there together? 】

【good. ] Shen Boyan agreed.

He thought of another thing: [If they bump into me...]

[If I bump into him, I bump into him. ] Fang Shengyun was calm, [Just say that we are here to reminisce, and Shen Poxuan and Fang Youhan will be here soon. ]

Shen Boyan felt that although such an argument was too simple and crude, it was also reasonable.

[Okay, I'll be downstairs in a moment. 】

Shen Boyan waited at the gate of the community after breakfast. Fang Shengyun came very quickly and drove over after a while.

"Hello!" He rolled down the window and waved to Shen Boyan, "Come on, let's go."

Shen Boyan stepped forward, opened the passenger door and got in.

"They're already over there." Shen Boyan had just fastened his seat belt when he heard Fang Shengyun say, "We have to hurry."

"Why are you so well-informed?" Shen Boyan was surprised.

"This villa belongs to my friend, so I have to have some spies." Fang Shengyun started the car, "Your sister always said that I wasted my time, but eating, drinking and having fun all day long is still useful."

Suddenly I heard Fang Shengyun mention Shen Poxuan, Shen Boyan smiled.

Fang Shengyun didn't wait for Shen Boyan's answer, and said to himself: "I don't know what Meng Xinqiao is doing. He has been hanging out with Cheng Wenjun these two days. Some accidents always happen... Is this still possible? Can it help him return to his own body?"

Shen Boyan thought: "Maybe this is an idea."

His thoughts were confused before, and he had never thought about it. But then Fang Shengyun pointed this out, and he began to think about the possibility.

"I think so, just I think." Fang Shengyun continued to analyze, "If these 'accidents' are not accidents, for example, if Meng Xinqiao approaches Cheng Wenjun, he will definitely be unlucky. The person attached to Cheng Wenjun is completing these things Will there be any price to pay?"

He thought: "You think, if that thing is so powerful that it can easily threaten another person's life, then he would have ruled the world a long time ago, and he would still have to spend this time. Why is Boss Jin so entangled with us here? "

Yes, that's the truth.

Shen Boyan suddenly realized: "So, maybe Meng Xinqiao did it on purpose?"

"It should be on purpose." Fang Shengyun said firmly.

"I think that may be the case...but it's all my guess. We need to take another look."

Shen Boyan nodded in agreement.

Fang Shengyun suddenly thought of something and laughed rather speechlessly: "He must know everything. This is quite like his style. He will come to you when nothing happens, but when something happens, he will run and hide by himself."

Shen Boyan Lowering his eyes: "Yes."

"He's always like this."

"Over the years, I always feel that he has a lot of things on his mind." Fang Shengyun sighed, "Now I finally know a thing or two."

Shen Boyan I feel so too.

He said "hmm" and continued the topic: "I think he told Cheng Wenjun his identity because he wanted Cheng Wenjun to focus on him."

"Furthermore, Cheng Wenjun knows that he is the soul of his original body, so he will "Be more anxious."

"The more anxious you are, the easier it will be to jump over the wall." Fang Shengyun pointed at the steering wheel and added.

"Yeah." Shen Boyan nodded, "Then..."

He tightened his fingertips and whispered, "It's almost the end."

Fang Shengyun didn't answer.

He drove for a while before sending the two of them to the remote mountain villa. He seemed to be paying attention to Meng Xinqiao's movements and went straight to the villa teahouse.

As soon as Shen Boyan got out of the car, he smelled the fresh and elegant fragrance of tea. Fang Shengyun led him around a few corners, and Cheng Wenjun's voice floated over in the distance.

"...The Pu'er tea here has a very strong fragrance." He seemed to be talking to someone attentively, "Mr. Yu, you can give it a try."

Fang Shengyun got into a tea room next door, and Shen Boyan also Keep up. Here, the voice next to me becomes clearer.

"I talked to Manager Meng before." A strange voice came, "It's really good."

"The Pu'er here has a mellow taste." Meng Xinqiao finally spoke at this time, "It seems to be very similar to Mr. Yu and I. Taste."

"Yes." Mr. Yu agreed.

Shen Boyan hid next door and listened to their socializing.

The three of them didn't talk about anything substantive. They walked around Pu'er tea, the weather in the villa, and the horse farm not far away.

Cheng Wenjun seemed to be trying hard to socialize with Mr. Yu, constantly looking for topics to talk about. Meng Xinqiao, on the other hand, was much more comfortable with his words. He kept talking, but never handed over the conversation to Cheng Wenjun.

"Would you like to go to the racecourse later?" Cheng Wenjun suggested as he spoke.

He seemed to want to continue the invitation, but as soon as the word "there" came out, there was a crash like a collapse from the next door.

Shen Boyan was stunned and stood up suddenly.

Fang Shengyun held him down and said, "Don't worry, I'll go ask first."

As he said this, he sent a message. After a while, he explained to Shen Boyan: "The screen in the tea room next door collapsed, almost knocking the Meng Xin Bridge away." Here it comes again.

Shen Boyan licked his lips in annoyance.

Even if he understood Meng Xinqiao's intention, he still couldn't help but feel irritated every time he heard such things.

Why does Meng Xinqiao have to be like this?

Why hasn't he changed at all from many years ago to now?

"Meng Xinqiao has gone out." Fang Shengyun said, "The remaining two are still there."

"I'll go find him." Shen Boyan asked, "Okay?"

"...You go." Fang Shengyun only warned, "Don't let Mr. Cheng Wen see it."

"Okay." Shen Boyan nodded.

He left the tea room and turned around to catch Meng Xinqiao's back.

Meng Xinqiao walked in a hurry, as if he didn't pay attention to what was going on around him. He lowered his head and typed busy on his cell phone while walking towards the bathroom at the end of the corridor.

When Shen Boyan saw Meng Xinqiao like this, the emotions in his chest suddenly exploded as if some fuse had been clicked on.

Grabbing Meng Xinqiao's arm, Shen Boyan dragged him into an empty tea room.

The door slammed shut, and the whole tea room trembled. Shen Boyan stared intently at Meng Xinqiao, who had not yet come to his senses, and said,

"Do you want to give me an explanation, Meng Xinqiao."
