After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

Chapter 1971 Someone went to Tianjia Village to investigate the case from back then.

Shu Baozhu leaned closer and lowered her voice: "I specifically called her over. If you take the initiative to talk to her, I don't believe Ranran will still be angry with you."

Liu Xia felt a bitter taste in her mouth. She couldn't tell them the reason: Zhang Ran had broken off their friendship because she was preparing for the civil service exam. They certainly wouldn't believe her if she told them, so she kept it to herself. She hadn't been eating or sleeping well for the past few days. Her mother noticed her unusual behavior and spent the whole night trying to comfort her.

Upon entering the kitchen, Zhang Ran called out to Shu Xian's retreating figure, "Auntie."

"Ranran is here." Shu Xian turned around and gave her a gentle smile.

"It's been so long since I've had your cooking, I've been really craving it." The aroma of the food made Zhang Ran's stomach rumble.

"Then you'd better eat more today."

"I guarantee I'll eat it all."

Seeing that she was smiling happily, Shu Xian thought of Bao Zhu's troubles and suddenly asked, "Ran Ran, don't blame me for meddling, but I heard from Bao Zhu that you and Liu Xia had a falling out? Don't blame me for being nosy, you two have known each other since your freshman year of college and have always had a good relationship. Today is Bao Zhu's birthday, so please have a good talk with her for my sake."

Zhang Ran took a step closer and lowered her voice: "Someone went to Tianjia Village to investigate the case from back then, and there's a high chance they'll reopen it."

Mentioning Tianjia Village brought back a nightmare she had deliberately tried to forget. Shu Xian's smile vanished instantly, and her face turned deathly pale.

Zhang Ran looked at her face, which suddenly changed color, and murmured softly, "Someone is watching me." The person secretly watching her not only went to Tianjia Village to collect evidence, but also went to the police station in her hometown to investigate all cases related to her.

On the way back to Beijing, Cheng Mingtai called to remind her that someone had gone to the S City police station to check on her. Even Zheng San, the local hotel owner near the border, called to curry favor with her, claiming that someone had gone to the local police station to investigate the case of Chen Pozi and Chen Guangzong being bitten to death by a man-eating bear.

Shu Xian looked at Zhang Ran with trembling eyelashes. Looking at her calm face, she finally understood why Zhang Ran had broken off her friendship with Liu Xia. She didn't want to implicate her friends, so she distanced herself from them in advance. "Then what is the purpose of your visit today?"

"After the dinner, I will speak with Baozhu privately. Please comfort her then."

Her suspicions came true, and Shu Xian, overwhelmed with emotion, grabbed Zhang Ran's arm, her voice heavy and urgent: "The case from back then is closed, what right do they have to reopen it? With Auntie here, they won't be able to hurt you!"

Zhang Ran tried to ignore the pain in her left arm from being pinched, and put her right hand on her shoulder, gently comforting her: "Auntie, that happened several years ago, it will be difficult for them to find evidence, you don't need to worry too much."

"Then why are you still..."

Before Shu Xian could finish speaking, Zhang Ran interrupted her: "I have a mental illness and can't handle any stimulation. When I have an attack, it can easily lead to someone's death. Your back is too thin. You can help me take the blame once, but you can't take the whole burden."

Shu Xian: "..."

Shu Xian wanted to take the blame for her, but knew it was impossible. Her expression was helpless, like a child's: "...Who? Who is investigating you?"

"Don't ask anymore. Just live a peaceful life with Baozhu." Zhang Ran changed the subject. "As for me, don't worry, I'll be fine."

"Mom!" Shu Baozhu suddenly rushed in and shouted at Shu Xian. Seeing that her eyes were red, she quickly walked over and asked, "Have you been crying?"

"Auntie's eyes stung from cutting onions." Just as Shu Xian was about to smooth things over, Zhang Ran was the first to find an excuse for her.
