Chapter 2582: Exposing lies
"Wang Jinpeng, did you live abroad before?" Meng Xing had nothing to do now, so he wanted to find out more about Lin Ran.
In their time, it was normal to go abroad to study and work.
She just didn't understand why someone would name their son Wang Jinpeng. This name was already famous and had certain social attributes. Ordinary people would definitely not name their children such a name to avoid embarrassment.
Therefore, she subconsciously thought that Lin Ran came back from abroad. After all, living abroad, she was not so sensitive about Wang Jinpeng's name and would not think too much about it.
"No." Lin Ran said. For a moment, he wanted to say his real name.
"Then, Wang Jinpeng is your pseudonym, right?" Meng Xing asked.
"Well, yes." Lin Ran did not intend to continue to deceive Meng Xing, but said, "It's the name of an old friend of mine."
"Bah, we're still old friends! You don't even draft a lie." Wang Lei came to Lin Ran.
Meng Xing was worried that Lin Ran would be angry, so he immediately explained: "Let me tell you, Wang Jinpeng is actually Wang Lei's grandpa Zeng."
Lin Ran had actually guessed Wang Lei's identity just now, but when he heard it from Meng Xing's mouth, he was still a little surprised.
"Haha, you and Wang Jinpeng do look a bit alike." Lin Ran laughed.
But just after laughing, Lin Ran realized that he seemed to have let something slip.
"What did you say?" Wang Lei originally wanted to find trouble with Lin Ran, but he didn't expect Lin Ran to come to the door. He said angrily, "You kid, don't hold back your words. You make it sound like you are very familiar with Grandpa Zeng." Same!"
After saying that, Wang Lei wanted to grab Lin Ran's collar.
Meng Xing saw Wang Lei's attitude and immediately came up to stop Wang Lei.
"Wang Lei, this brother might just be joking to lighten the mood!"
"Miss, there are some words he says that can be trusted!" Wang Lei couldn't help his temper anymore. Meng Xing had always been a proud girl.
For girls, a person who dare not reveal his real name is simply not worthy of trust.
As a result, this kid made up a fake name and gained the lady's trust. Wang Lei was so angry that if Meng Xing hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed to beat Lin Ran.
Lin Ran was certainly not joking. He didn't understand why Wang Lei was so hostile to him. He and Wang Jinpeng were obviously very good friends.
It's just that there are some things that are inconvenient to talk about now.
In order to lighten the atmosphere, Lin Ran joked: "Of course you look like your Grandpa Zeng. Am I wrong?"
"Nonsense." Wang Lei asked for trouble and went to the corner to stay by himself.
Meng Xing looked at Lin Ran with wide eyes: "You have many secrets. There are no outsiders here. Can you tell me your true identity?"
"You shouldn't have anything to do with Lai Fei and the others, right?"
Lin Ran sighed: "Of course not, I have never heard of this person before today."
The two people chatted without a word. In addition to Wang Lei, Xu Yun and Fang Yuan were also listening to their conversation secretly, but they were thinking about different things.
The atmosphere in the tomb became a little strange.
After chatting for a while, Lin Ran still didn't reveal his identity, and Meng Xing couldn't ask further.
The two of them were silent, and the atmosphere in the tomb returned to silence again. Only the sound of Fang Yuan breaking stones could be heard.
Wang Lei looked up blankly from the side, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, the light outside had dimmed, and it seemed that night had entered.
After an unknown amount of time, Fang Yuan had opened a tunnel, and under his feet, gravel and soil piled up into a small mound.
"I can't do it anymore." Fang Yuan climbed out of the hole and looked at Lin Ran, "Hey, you said you would give me something to eat after I finish digging. Where's the food?"
Lin Ran had already prepared the candies and threw them directly to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan looked at the three pieces of candy in his hand, dumbfounded.
"You said you wanted me to eat, is this it?" Fang Yuan asked in confusion.
"Yes, if you don't dig it down, we won't even be able to eat this stuff tomorrow." Lin Ran replied calmly.
"Are you kidding me?" Fang Yuan looked at Lin Ran with an unhappy expression.
Facing Fang Yuan who had strange powers, Lin Ran didn't panic at all and asked: "Are you going to dig it up? And eat the candy. If you don't want to eat it, just give it back to me."
"Go." Fang Yuan put the candy into his pocket, "You are so good at calculating, and you still want me to work for nothing!"
Fang Yuan sat down opposite Lin Ran, and then tore open the candy wrapper.
It was already evening, they had not eaten anything yet, and Wang Lei's stomach began to growl.
Except for Fang Yuan, everyone only got a piece of candy, so it was really impossible to fill their stomachs.
There were still two days left before I would go crazy with hunger.
"I said, are we going to dig like this?" Fang Yuan asked while chewing candy.
"Otherwise?" Lin Ran raised his head and looked at Fang Yuan, and then asked in a puzzled tone: "Well, I would like to ask if this is your first time going to the tomb?"
"How is that possible?" Fang Yuan retorted subconsciously, and then immediately changed his mind, "Yes, I have never done it before."
Lin Ran smiled and said, "It's my fault that I didn't explain it clearly."
"What do you mean?" Fang Yuan asked, looking at Lin Ran in confusion.
"I asked you to dig a passage to leave the tomb, instead of digging a tunnel." Lin Ran said with a bit of laughter. Fang Yuan seemed to have a very flexible mind, but he handled some small details very poorly.
"What's the problem?" Fang Yuan was still confused.
"Have you ever seen other tomb robbers digging holes?" Lin Ran did not explain directly. He knew that Fang Yuan was not in a good mood now, so if he told him directly, he might not be able to accept it, so he had to use guidance.
Fang Yuan shook his head. He had always entered ancient tombs in a formal way before. How could he have ever seen a robber hole?
"Okay, let me tell you." Lin Ran became curious when he saw Fang Yuan, and he could listen until he explained to him at this time.
Lin Ran came to the place where he had just dug the tunnel and said, "If you want to dig a robbery hole, you have to dig up at an angle of about 45 degrees."
"We have to dig a way out, but you have been digging sideways, and you are not digging a passage for the subway."
Lin Ran said in a slightly teasing tone.
Fang Yuan was indeed a smart man. After hearing these words, he immediately slapped his forehead.
"Fuck, why didn't you say it earlier?"
"I thought you could figure it out?"
"I thought you had to dig a lot of rocks, and then build a slope for me to climb up." Xu Yun also said at the side. After all, Fang Yuan did a lot of work all afternoon, and the gravel on the ground has been piled up. It has become a small slope.
Fang Yuan stared at Lin Ran with a puzzled look.
"Who are you? You obviously know a lot of things, but...for someone as powerful and young as you, there is no reason why I haven't heard your name."
Perhaps because he stayed in the ancient tomb for too long and was in a closed environment for a long time, Fang Yuan also began to gradually reveal his true identity.
At the mention of Lin Ran's real name, Meng Xing, who was already a little drowsy at the side, regained his energy and looked here.
