Zhu Kai came out of the room, looked around, saw Wang Ma in the living room, and asked, “Did anyone enter my room just now?”
“Your room?” Wang Ma was burying her head and sorting out the teacups on the coffee table in the living room. She heard the words and looked at him, “No, who entered your room?”
At this time, neither Li Zhenran nor Li Zhenzi had returned. Besides him, there were only Wang Ma and Li Jianglin in the family. No one should have entered his room.
Zhu Kai turned back and felt gloomy in the room for a while, so he walked to the living room sofa and sat down, raised his legs on the coffee table, and rubbed his fingers against his lips, but he remembered the claim he had received a long time ago. A phone call claiming to be from Li Zhenruo.
At that time, he thought that someone was going to put Li Zhentai in order and called him in the name of Li Zhenruo. Although that person knew something that others didn’t, he didn’t take it too seriously.
Right now, Li Zhentai was already like this, who was still pretending to be Li Zhenruo to provoke him?
At this time, Wang Ma suddenly hit him on the thigh, “Can’t you put your feet down? I just cleaned up the table!”
Zhu Kai hurriedly put his feet down and thought that it must be impossible for Wang Ma and Li Jianglin. There were still some workers in the family, but he didn’t know if any of them have received money to do this kind of thing.
But the handwriting was very similar to Li Zhenruo’s.
Was there really a ghost in this world?
In the evening, Li Zhenruo was lying on the windowsill waiting for Li Zhenran to come back.
In the evening, he deliberately left a note in Zhu Kai’s room, the purpose was to intimidate Zhu Kai.
Li Zhenran didn’t go home for a long time. After a while, Li Zhenruo heard the phone ring, ran over and pressed it with his paw, and found that Li Zhenran had sent a text message saying that he would not be able to return from overtime at night, so that he didn’t have to wait for him to go to bed earlier.
It seemed that Li Zhenran was entangled in work matters. As he thought of this, he couldn’t help but blame Li Zhentai for leaving such a big mess and making others help him clean up.
Li Zhenruo jumped back to the window sill and thought that Li Zhenran would not come back anyway, he would have more time to play with Zhu Kai.
That night, when Zhu Kai slept until midnight, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of knocking on the window. It was weird, like someone tapping a finger on the glass, and it’s very rhythmic.
Zhu Kai got up from the bed, turned on the lamp at the head of the bed, then got out of bed and walked to the window and opened the curtains. Sure enough, it was pitch black outside the window.
He opened the window and looked left and right and saw nothing. He closed the window, and when he turned around, he heard someone knocking on the window again.
Zhu Kai turned back quickly but still didn’t see anything.
Li Zhenruo huddled in the corner, with his paws on his chest, and his heart pounding. He thought that fortunately, he was a cat, otherwise, it would be difficult for such a big person to find Zhu Kai’s blind spot and hide.
Zhu Kai stood silently for a while and suddenly returned to the window to reach out and open the window, and in one swoop tumbled out of the room. The room was on the first floor, he jumped out and landed in the grass, stood up, and looked left and right.
When Li Zhenruo heard the sound of him opening the window, he quickly jumped up to a big tree next to him. At this time, he hid behind the shade and looked at Zhu Kai. He thought that he was fortunate enough to react quickly enough, or this time he really wouldn’t have a good place to hide.
Zhu Kai didn’t find any suspicious person, so he couldn’t help but walk a few steps forward with his slippers.
In the middle of the night, the back garden of Li’s house was very quiet. There was a tennis court in front of it, with grass and trees on both sides. The weather was cold, and even the sound of insects couldn’t be heard. The entire building behind him and all other windows were dark except for his room.
Li Zhenruo was lying on the tree, watching Zhu Kai walking towards the back, and suddenly had an idea.
He thought since he had the ability to use spiritual power to disguise a suit, was there any way to use spiritual power to change his appearance? He raised his claws and tried to wrap them with spiritual power, turning the original yellow and white colour into black.
It was just an attempt, but Li Zhenruo was surprised to find that he succeeded.
The black fluff instantly covered his whole body. He looked down and saw that his nose and mouth had also turned black. When he stood up, he was completely a slender black cat. The only thing wrong is that the nose still seems to be very flat. He raised his paws and touched his face, and found that his face was still very round, which didn’t seem to match the image of a beautiful black cat he imagined.
It’s a pity that he couldn’t look in the mirror here, but it didn’t matter, as long as Zhu Kai doesn’t recognize him.
Zhu Kai moved forward cautiously in the dark.
There were streetlights near the villa just now, but there were no lights in this area, and there were infrared cameras and alarms on the outer walls farther away.
He didn’t believe that there were ghosts in this world, and all the things that science couldn’t explain were just because science had not developed enough to perfection, so instead of going back and lying down and waiting restlessly, it was better to go and find out what was going on in the middle of the night.
The surroundings were quiet and only the sound of his own footsteps could be heard. Suddenly, Zhu Kai saw something running quickly in the dark. He subconsciously chased after it for two steps, and then something jumped on the back of his head from behind.
This time the force was not too light. Zhu Kai was originally thin, but he didn’t expect that he was slammed into the tree next to him and knocked unconscious.
Li Zhenruo watched Zhu Kai’s body fall softly, and couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment and quickly turned into a human figure and reached out to catch him. He always knew that Zhu Kai was an embroidered pillow, but he really didn’t expect him to be so useless. If he knew, wouldn’t there be a need to painstakingly become a black cat to hide his identity?
Zhu Kai was later woken up by the splash of water. He slowly opened his eyes, and after a while, he realized that he was covered with a black cloth and his hands were tied behind him to a big tree.
“Who?” Zhu Kai asked in a low voice.
Someone leaned into his ear and whispered, “I’m Li Zhenruo.”
The voice was so soft that he almost spoke in an airy tone. Zhu Kai couldn’t tell who it was for a while, he just sneered and said, “You are Li Zhenruo? Li Zhenruo died a long time ago, you crawled out of the ground?”
Zhu Kai didn’t believe that this was Li Zhenruo. If it was a ghost, why bother to help him tie it up to cover his eyes? Although he couldn’t see it, he believed that he should be in the woods behind Li’s house. There were surveillance cameras all around, and no one should be able to move him out without anyone knowing it.
He even believed that this person was someone from the Li family. He said, “Believe it or not, someone will come soon after I yell.”
Li Zhenruo leaned into his ear and said, “I believe you. Just scream, but no one can see me, and I will continue to come to you tomorrow night.”
Zhu Kai was silent, and said after a while, “Okay, you are Li Zhenruo, what are you doing?”
Li Zhenruo said, “We have been friends for so many years. Before, I have been scolded by my father in the past to help you. Why do you want to harm me?”
Zhu Kai laughed, “Blame your father.”
Li Zhenruo was not angry, he stretched out a hand and touched Zhu Kai’s chest, slowly touching down with some ambiguous action, and when he touched the lower abdomen, he asked Zhu Kai, “Did my Dad touch you like this?”
Zhu Kai’s voice suddenly turned cold, “Take your hand away.”
Li Zhenruo took his hand away obediently, leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice, “Have you been fvcked by him? You’re hiding deep enough, I didn’t even see it after all those years.”
“No!” Zhu Kai said, “Are you Li Zhenruo? You think of your father like this?”
Li Zhenruo said, “I know you’re doubting me, but I know more than you think, do you want to hear it?”
Zhu Kai didn’t answer. After being quiet for a while, he said, “Sometimes, I think the way you talk is indeed very much like Li Zhenruo.”
Li Zhenruo reached out and touched his face, “Yes, as I said, we’ve been friends for so many years and we are too familiar with each other.”
Zhu Kai turned his head hard and threw off his hand.
Li Zhenruo didn’t reluctantly, retracted his hand and continued, “For the paternity test, are you the one who obtained Li Jianglin’s semen?”
Zhu Kai said, “What if you know this?”
Li Zhenruo slipped his hand against his lower abdomen, “I just want to know, otherwise I will not be reconciled and will entangle you. In fact, there is nothing to hide. You asked Aunt Wu to steal the bloody tissue from my room, took my dad’s semen and handed it over to Li Zhentai. Li Zhentai then asked Yue Zijia to send it for a paternity test, and then put the test results in Li Jianglin’s office for Li Jianglin to see.”
Zhu Kai felt Li Zhenruo’s hands wandering around him. He got goosebumps and said irritably, “Don’t you know everything? What else do you want to ask?”
“Why?” Li Zhenruo asked him, “I thought we were friends.”
Zhu Kai sneered when he heard this, “How much is a friend worth?”
Li Zhenruo said, “Okay, it’s not worth much, but why is it me, not Li Zhentai? There is something you should know, right? In fact, Li Jianglin is unable to have a child, and he has no real son.”
Zhu Kai didn’t answer, just smiled to show that he knew.
Li Zhenruo asked him, “Why did you choose me? Not someone else?”
Zhu Kai tilted his head slightly in his direction, “I didn’t choose you, someone chose you. Do you know where the photos from Li Zhentai came from?”
What he meant was the photo of Li Zhenruo’s mother and his biological father.
Li Zhenruo knew the existence of the photo and always thought that Li Zhentai got the photo by accident. Now that he thought about it, he really didn’t investigate how Li Zhentai got the photo.
Zhu Kai said, “What else do you know? Want to know something? Let me tell you, Li Jianglin has never had sex with me. I remember when I was a child, I fell asleep several times and woke up, feeling him watching by the bed and touched me. At that time, I was very scared, and I couldn’t sleep well every night for a while. Do you think I should not hate him?”
Li Zhenruo did not answer his words.
Zhu Kai continued, “Later I found out about the photo, and Li Zhentai began to doubt your identity, so I found him and said to help him collect the materials for the paternity test, but he had to have someone to do the test, and he agreed. I got Li Jianglin’s semen, and I gave him oral sex. He was happy, angry, and guilty. He even went to cry at Zhu Yun’s photo, are you interested? Want to hear the details?”
Li Zhenruo said, “I’m not interested.”
Zhu Kai smiled, “Also, I didn’t participate in the plan to kill you, the one who killed you was Li Zhentai.”
Li Zhenruo shook his head, “I don’t understand, I’m no longer a threat to him, why would he still want to kill me?”
Zhu Kai said, “After you were kicked out of the house, your father was very angry. At that time, he put down his words in front of the three brothers and told them whoever was behind the scenes, that he should pack up and get out of the Li family with you.”
Li Zhenruo said softly, “Because I wanted to try my best to find out the truth, so Li Zhentai was afraid that Li Jianglin was really angry about this, so he asked someone to kill me?”
Zhu Kai said, “Maybe. After you died, your father really didn’t continue to investigate. He suddenly became disheartened and felt that sacrificing one of you was enough, and he didn’t want to continue to involve all the remaining sons.”
Li Zhenruo leaned against the tree next to him and raised his head to look at the darkness where he could not see anything.
Zhu Kai suddenly said at this moment, “Well, now it’s my turn to guess your identity?”
Li Zhenruo looked at him.
Zhu Kai smiled, “You are the boy next to Li Zhenran, right? With the same name as Li Zhenruo, Jason?”
Li Zhenruo neither admitted nor denied it, and now he was not too afraid of Zhu Kai guessing his identity anyway. They both knew so many unspeakable secrets about each other.
Zhu Kai said, “You have a little bit of Li Zhenran’s perfume on you, it’s very light, but I can smell it. Your hands are very tender and your voice is very young. If you listen carefully, you can still guess it, right?”
Li Zhenruo laughed when he heard the words, and did not answer Zhu Kai’s words, but walked slowly outside. Whoever Zhu Kai called, no one could catch him anyway.
Notes:
In the past, I saw an NU comment saying that Li Jianglin actually r4p3d Zhu Kai and I was pretty anxious because even though Li Jianglin is like that I do think he was somewhat a decent and reasonable person. Well.. It cleared up in this chapter, he didn’t r4p3 but he did touch child Zhu Kai since he was similar to Zhu Yun. It’s disgusting but I guess that’s what a person who was left by their partners could do. Love really is a momentary lapse of judgement
