Since her father left, no one has celebrated her birthday, or even participated in the group entertainment of her peers.

Su Ling has always known that she has a yearning for the happiness of ordinary people in her heart, but she never expected it to be so strong.

"Happy birthday!"

Demi smiled and took out the gift she prepared, a very delicate silver brooch, with a beautiful design and an obviously unusual price.

Su Ling looked at this lucky girl who lives in the world, this guy is an abominable current charge!

Also his best friend.

She drank wine, cup after cup, and gradually, the girl with extraordinary physique also got a little drunk.

Of course, everyone was also shocked by her alcohol intake, and at least nearly half of them were swayed by her.

How can you drink so much... You can't tell from the outside, this is the last consciousness of some male classmates.

Su Ling rarely shows her emotions in front of people. Recently, she has only exposed her emotions in front of George and Shen Yi, but today she has no more restraint.

She drank a little confused, sitting in a chair in a trance.

The party continued for a long time, and many classmates left one after another. Of course, some men and women planned to go to other places to continue playing... Nolan's atmosphere is still quite open.

The party is drawing to a close.

Su Ling sat dazedly on the sofa, covering her head.

The dangers of alcohol are coming...

She shook her head again. She doesn't have to do this in the future. She is already eighteen years old. It's fine to celebrate her birthday silently...

Even though she thought so, Su Ling was still very happy.

This may be the best day ever.

At this moment, a man with a mustache walked not far away and said, "You are my daughter's good classmate, right? I heard that you are only eighteen years old. It is really amazing to be able to attend the Bedern Imperial College at this age. ,admirable."

Su Ling opened her eyes in a trance and saw a man in a suit, nearly fifty years old, with a pair of mustaches and a smile in his eyes.

"Hello, I'm Demi's father, Horn."

Su Ling was stunned for a moment, and found that the villa had been messed up, she felt a sigh in her heart, and subconsciously wanted to get up.

"Uncle Horn, hello, I'm Su Ling."

Most Nolan people can pronounce the names of Shangxuan people. For example, George and others will directly call Su Ling. The text and pronunciation of Shangxuan people are slightly different from modern Chinese.

"Su Ling."

Horn laughed, and there was a deliberate kindness in that smile.

Su Ling was stunned for a moment. She had been in the slum since she was seven years old, and she could naturally see that the kindness of the other party was not pure.

Horn said, "Uncle, I'll give you a gift too. It's a thank you for taking care of my daughter all the time."

After speaking, he handed her an ordinary gift box.

"Go back and take it apart."

"Um."

She nodded lightly, but quietly performed an invisible technique, peeping at the gift inside.

Su Ling stayed in place.

Inside the box is a sparkling diamond!

This is so precious!

Su Ling, who was already confused, immediately woke up a little, with some confusion and confusion in his eyes.

Very...not right.

Horn walked to the stairs, turned around and smiled: "Su Ling, come upstairs now, uncle has something to talk to you about."

"Yeah." Su Ling nodded lightly, wanting to know the other party's purpose.

She glanced at Demi on the sofa, the girl had fallen asleep half-lying and half-sitting.

Su Ling followed in Horn's footsteps and came to the house on the second floor. The wine was a little bit stronger, which made her feel confused for a while.

Drink too much... Really drink too much...

Su Ling usually drank alcohol, but because of her extraordinary physique, she had never been drunk before. She was half-drunk for the first time today, and she also felt dizzy for the first time.

Horn entered a room, and just as she pushed the door and followed into the room, an old man walked out from the room.

The two collided, and the glass of water in the old man's hand accidentally spilled Su Ling all over.

He immediately said, "Sorry, sorry, really sorry, it's all my fault, forgive me."

Su Ling subconsciously wanted to say "I forgive you", but she suddenly shuddered in her trance and kept her senses.

She just stared at each other and immediately sobered up.

I just can't wake up anymore!

It's you!

Su Ling was frightened and angry, and the person who bumped into her had gray temples, an old face, cloudy eyes, and a slightly fat body... It was the superhuman who instructed the family, the real murderer who killed the old man selling sugar.

The current patriarch of the Boot family, Earl Boot himself!

Su Ling subconsciously wanted to do it, and then thought that the other party would appear here, and felt that something was wrong.

Could this be a trap?

The old man also seemed to feel her hot gaze, and stepped back a distance without hesitation.

Su Ling immediately wanted to follow, but an arm stood in front of her.

"Hey, there is something to say, something to say, don't be angry."

Su Ling was slightly taken aback, and found that the person who reached out to stop him was in his early thirties, wearing a neat black suit, with an extremely easy-going and friendly smile on his face.

"Mr. Benny?" She was stunned, not expecting her colleague to appear here.

"

Happy birthday, Su Ling. ' Benny replied with a smile.

Since Benny was promoted ten years ago, he has been a C-level investigator. He is a well-known mess in the Anti-Magic Bureau, and he is always unmotivated.

But he is also famous in a sense, because Benny is a recognized peacemaker and a good old man. Almost every newcomer has been taken care of by him, and the potential Su Ling is no exception.

Su Ling was silent for a while, and there was no trace of warmth in his voice.

"what happened?"

Benny smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just heard that you and Mr. Boot had a bit of a misunderstanding, so today, I want to take this opportunity to reconcile you and the Earl."

The old man stood aside with a face full of regret: "Yes, we did have a misunderstanding, alas, it's all my fault, and I regret it too."

Su Ling said solemnly, "It's not a misunderstanding."

is murder!

Boot didn't feel embarrassed at all, nodded lightly, and followed her: "Yes, you are right, it's not a misunderstanding but a mistake, it's all my fault."

"I'm in pain too..."

"However, I won't run away." He sighed and said, "Su Ling, I know, it's not that simple to ask you to forgive me."

"I can give compensation, to the relatives of the old man, or to you. I am willing to give 20 million."

"I don't need it." Su Ling shook her head.

Boot nodded lightly and said, "Do you think I did something wrong? In fact, I just want to take a little life from him, just a little life, and then compensate him for 10 million."

"It turned out to be a mistake, and I didn't expect him to have only five years left."

He stared at Su Ling and put on a sincere look: "I know you are investigating me and even want to kill me, but have you ever thought that this means nothing to the dead."

He said this, paused, and continued: "I'm promoting a bill recently. You can check it out. If this bill is passed, Nolan will have more children who will receive educational and medical help."

"This will put five years of life in a better place, and I think that's what really makes up for the deceased."

Su Ling listened silently and did not answer.

The old man sighed and said bitterly: "I know, this may not make you forgive me completely, but you have to think about it carefully, is it really that important to satisfy your personal sense of justice?"

Benny opened a bottle of champagne on the side, smiled and poured a glass for each of the four present, took one of them, and handed it to Su Ling.

"Happy birthday, Su Ling, you are an adult from today onwards, and naturally you have to think like an adult."

Benny smiled kindly, while Su Ling remained silent and did not pick it up.

He said in the tone of an elder: "Count Bute sincerely repents, he has already given in like this, and he is still doing good things to make up for it."

"If you still want to kill people like this, you are just satisfying your own selfish desires, not pursuing true justice. In fact, it is no different from some reckless superhumans and vengeful ghosts."

"Isn't that enough?"

It wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, Su Ling didn't answer, but the inner voice had already answered.

She stared at this man in a daze, and in the anti-magic bureau, she has been helping everyone's colleagues as a good person.

Originally, Su Ling had a certain favorable impression of him as a colleague, but he could never have imagined that he would actually be like this and say these words out of self-righteousness.

Demi's father, Horn also nodded, also said in the tone of an elder.

"Su Ling, what do you want?"

Benny added: "Everyone makes mistakes, Su Ling, haven't you done anything wrong since you were a child? Haven't you done anything against your so-called justice?"

"None of them."

Su Ling's answer was very quick, and it quickly made the three present stunned for a while, obviously she didn't expect her to answer without thinking.

"You are really honest, and I admire you too." Horn smiled and said, "It's really a good thing for you and my daughter to be friends."

"Demi also often talks about your name and hopes to be friends with you all the time."

Demi... Su Ling thought of her friend, she was a little dazed, that was her only friend.

How would Demi see herself if she turned her face here?

The three people present also said a lot, but Su Ling didn't listen at all.

She knew that she could not succeed here, and there must be extraordinary bodyguards outside. Without a knife, her unarmed skills were not strong, and she could not defeat Benny in a short time.

Su Ling's mind was a little confused, and she thought about many other things in an instant.

Does Demi know about this, and if she doesn't, does Demi know that her father is such a person? If she knew...

If you fight here, you accidentally hurt her father...

Su Ling only felt dizzy, and the wine was surging. Suddenly, she threw away the gift box in which Horn had put the diamonds, opened the door and walked out.

Benny and Earl Boot looked at each other and didn't say anything to stop them.

She hurried down to the first floor and looked at her friend who was asleep on the sofa with a dazed expression.

Demi, who lives in the world of watches, is still sleeping peacefully. Obviously, she has no idea about the "special program" of today's birthday party.

Su Ling immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

but soon

, she thought of one more thing.

Many people came to the birthday party today, and many of them were not familiar with themselves, but they all gave gifts.

Who are these gifts for?

She suddenly felt that her scalp was numb, her hands and feet felt cold, and she didn't know how to move, so she walked out of the villa unknowingly.

The night was already very dark.

The drizzle has not stopped, constantly hitting the girl.

In a trance, Su Ling walked on the street for a long time without thinking about anything, and her mind became blank.

She couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe.

The murderer was right in front of her just now, and she was an old man with no fighting power, but she felt that it was extremely difficult to kill him from the bottom of her heart.

If she really does it, under the influence of Demi's father, she is likely to lose her only friend in college.

This is the most important reason for Su Ling's confusion.

What should I do myself?
