Chapter 222: Dark Corner
Tang Qin woke up, Zhong Zhiyan was gone, she was used to this, she packed herself up and went downstairs to have breakfast. There was only Li Ting in the restaurant, Tang Qin said hello and sat down, and asked casually, "Where is Akai?"
"He ......," Li Ting took a sip and paused, "I haven't gotten up yet." ”
"Akai has been going to bed early and waking up early, what's wrong today?" Tang Qin asked as he ate.
"Akai is like a child, he can't figure him out. Li Ting replied with a smile.
After eating, Li Ting was busy with her own business, and Tang Qin went to see Li Kai if she had nothing to do. There was no one in the room, Tang Qin turned around and saw Li Kai lying on the wooden bottom board by the courtyard, looking at the garden in a daze.
"Akai. Tang Qin walked over and sat down beside Li Kai.
Li Kai didn't react, and Tang Qin then asked, "Why didn't you go to breakfast?" ”
"Uncle Da is gone. Li Kai spoke.
He usually spoke in a high voice, this muffled sentence made Tang Qin very unaccustomed, she touched Li Kai's forehead, "Who is Uncle Da?"
"Uncle Da cooked for us. Li Kai replied.
"Oh. Tang Qi thought that Uncle Da that Li Kai said should be the chef at home.
"We've always eaten his cooking, and we've been eating ...... since we were kids," Li Kai muttered.
Tang Qin smiled, "Is it a change, are you used to eating, tell Ah Ting about ......?"
"They threw Uncle Da into the river behind him at dawn. ”
Hearing Li Kai's words, Tang Qin's expression immediately froze.
"They said that Uncle Da betrayed his eldest brother. Li Kai continued, the whole person was in a state of dissociation.
After the shock, Tang Qin looked at Li Kai full of sympathy, everyone thought that Li Kai was ignorant of the world, didn't think much, wouldn't get hurt, and no one knew that he just buried these things in his heart. Tang Qin wanted to open her mouth to ask Li Kai, but she couldn't say anything, she didn't know the environment Li Kai was in, so she could only say something that didn't hurt or itch. Li Kai's temperament, the last thing he needs is these. After thinking about it, Tang Qin still decided to sit with Li Kai like this, at least let him have someone to accompany him when he was so heartbroken.
Tang Qin raised her head and looked into the distance like Li Kai, the clouds were light and the wind was light, she closed her eyes, and a lyric appeared in her mind. If I still have sorrow, let the wind blow it away.
Li Kai was depressed for a day and refused to even eat dinner. Li Ting seemed to be used to it, and only said, "Playing with a child's temper again." ”
After the maid finished serving, Li Ting and Tang Qin sat down, Tang Qin bowed her head to eat without saying a word, she tried her best to keep it normal, but Li Ting still saw something strange.
"Akai is like this, is he just losing his temper and refusing to eat, we are all used to it. Li Ting suddenly spoke.
Tang Qin raised his head when he heard the sound and smiled reluctantly.
"He doesn't understand a lot of things, and sometimes he talks nonsense, so don't take it seriously. Li Ting said again.
Tang Qin's heart sank, his expression became even stiffer, and after thinking about it, he only said one sentence, "I also think that Akai's imagination is particularly rich." ”
"Yes, it's fantasy. Li Ting said with a smile.
"But he hadn't eaten much for a day. Tang Qin asked with some concern.
"He'll call a servant when he's hungry, don't worry, eat." Li Ting said while picking up vegetables, "I had a new accident today, and I think it tastes good." ”
"What's wrong with the chef before?" Tang Qin blurted out, regretting it after asking, but it had already been exported.
Tang Qin looked at Li Ting carefully, her face was as usual, "The previous chef had something at home, so he resigned and went home." ”
"Oh. Tang Qin could only smile and respond.
After eating, Tang Qin went upstairs, she was so preoccupied with Li Kai's affairs that she didn't notice the dark shadow at the corner of the stairs at all. Tang Qin walked to his room, and was suddenly pulled into the corner, Tang Qin exclaimed, but was covered by someone and did not make a sound. She opened her eyes wide and saw that the person in front of her was Li Kai's bodyguard, Agu. After staying by Li Kai's side for a day today and not seeing this person, Tang Qin thought that Agu had followed Li Rong out and relaxed his vigilance.
Agu didn't say anything, just looked at Tang Qin crooked and smiled, Tang Qin was terrified, but the struggle had no effect at all, she was still firmly trapped. She looked around anxiously, and there was no one. In the middle of hesitation, Tang Qin had already been dragged into an empty room. The soles of her feet fell to the ground, and she had to crawl forward with her hands and feet, trying to escape. Agu looked at the embarrassed Tang Qin with interest, and leisurely pulled her legs.
"Ah!" Tang Qin shouted, "You let go of me!"
The cold touch on his leg made Tang Qin turn around, and when he saw the knife in Agu's hand, Tang Qin didn't dare to move at all. Agu smiled with satisfaction, and he pressed against Tang Qin and pulled her neckline.
"Do you know Zhong Zhiyan?" Tang Qin said, grabbing Agu's hand.
Agu shook off her hand irritably, Tang Qin didn't give up and said, "I'm pregnant, it's Zhong Zhiyan's, you let me go, I'll let him give you money." ”
Tang Qin only begged Agu to understand what she said at this time.
"He is very rich, richer than your brother Rong. Tang Qin added again.
Agu slowly got up, and Tang Qin escaped and breathed a sigh of relief.
"How much can he give me?" Agu's knife was still on Tang Qin's leg, grabbing her skirt upward.
"You can take as much as you want. Tang Qin said stiffly.
"What if not?" Agu's knife pressed against Tang Qin's thigh.
Tang Qin felt the pain and didn't dare to move, "Zhong Zhiyan doesn't care about me, I will take care of the child, if you don't believe in my relationship with him, you can ask Lisa, you should be quite familiar with her, right?"
Agu's expression really relaxed, and Tang Qin took the opportunity to say, "He should be back soon." ”
Zhong Zhiyan was stunned as soon as he walked into the room, Tang Qin was sitting on the sofa, and there was another person in the chair.
"Zhiyan, you're back. Tang Qin said bluntly.
Tang Qin's voice was very strange, and Zhong Zhiyan walked over quietly.
Before Zhong Zhiyan spoke, Tang Qin said again: "Agu said that his family is a little miserable, you can lend him some money first." ”
Tang Qin stared at Zhong Zhiyan tightly, and Zhong Zhiyan glanced at Agu.
"It's urgent, you can help first, Agu has also helped me a lot in the past two days. Tang Qin anxiously grabbed Zhong Zhiyan's hand.
Zhong Zhiyan felt Tang Qin trembling slightly, and Tang Qin shook his hand anxiously.
"How much?" Zhong Zhiyan finally spoke.
"Give as much as you want. Tang Qin whispered.
Zhong Zhiyan took out all the dollars on his body, and Agu walked out with a stack of dollars with a relaxed face.
Tang Qin let go of Zhong Zhiyan's hand, and she leaned back on the sofa and relaxed completely.
"What are you giving him money for?" Zhong Zhiyan sat down and asked.
"Pay the protection fee and report safety. Tang Qin's eyes were blank, and he said weakly.
Zhong Zhiyan looked at Tang Qin and saw the mark on her leg.
"What's going on on your legs?" Zhong Zhiyan asked with a frown.
Tang Qin came back to his senses, "I was dragged by him on the stairs like last time." ”
Zhong Zhiyan's fire came up all of a sudden, and Tang Qin hurriedly grabbed him, "It's okay." I think he's an addict, and he's honest when he says you'll give money. Now that you've given the money, he shouldn't be bothering me all this time. ”
Zhong Zhiyan couldn't help but sigh, "The addict has tasted the sweetness......"
What Zhong Zhiyan said, Tang Qin understood in her heart, but the situation was critical at the time, and she saw that his nails were gray and she was just gambling. Tang Qin hugged Zhong Zhiyan, and the tears he held back just now only stayed at this time. Zhong Zhiyan hugged her expressionlessly and patted her to comfort.
Tang Qin calmed down and wiped away his tears, "I was careless, if he was in the future, I wouldn't be alone." ”
Zhong Zhiyan frowned, he was a cowardly and greedy businessman in the eyes of these people, and he could only endure this bunker before it was broken.
With Zhong Zhiyan by his side, Tang Qin felt at ease, and quietly leaned on him to look at the moonlight outside the window. The moonlight is both beautiful and cool. She felt his wound and saw her own.
"Do you think we can really go back safely?" Tang Qin felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
Zhong Zhiyan didn't answer, Tang Qin smiled, "So I asked you to come back at that time, you just don't speak, right?" ”
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it if he agreed, which would make her even more sad.
"You should have turned around and walked away when you saw me. Zhong Zhiyan spoke calmly, he simply became her disaster star.
"No, I don't want to go. ”
Tang Qin whispered softly, tiredness hit. After a full day of shock and shock, she closed her eyes and just wanted to get a good night's sleep.
Qian Wenyu asked the producer to talk about the actors, she has a little friendship with this producer, and she thinks that the new actors promoted by the company will definitely be able to play this play.
"Wenyu, there is only one online drama for the actor you pushed. The producer read the information and said.
"He has good acting skills, and the online drama has a high rating. Qian Wenyu responded calmly at first.
"There are no works, no popularity, and no one will admit that there are acting skills. The producer frowned with a headache, "The qualifications to be the protagonist are not enough, and the other roles are set." ”
Qian Wenyu could only accompany the smiling face, "Bai Hao had only acted in one online drama before he became popular. ”
Qian Wenyu meant that the actor who pushed this one might be the next Bai Hao, and the producer just laughed, "If Bai Hao wants this role, do you still need to discuss?"
Qian Wenyu sighed embarrassedly, and the producer continued: "I know that Bai Hao was cultivated by you, and I believe in your vision, but now it is difficult for everyone, you can't take risks casually, and investors also have to look at the return on investment, which is very conservative." ”
Qian Wenyu smiled, "I understand." "She can't just bring out Bai Hao, she also needs Bai Hao himself to do it.
After the producer left, Qian Wenyu felt stuffy in the box and went outside to smoke in the yard.
"Sister Wenyu. ”
Qian Wenyu heard the voice, turned her head and saw that it was Bai Hao calling her.
"What a coincidence, you're here too. Bai Hao came over and said.
Qian Wenyu spat out a puff of cigarette, "Yes, what a coincidence, come here to talk about work?"
Bai Hao nodded. Qian Wenyu smiled politely and turned her head.
"You're busy now, aren't you?" Qian Wenyu asked casually, "Don't delay your time, go get busy." ”
Bai Hao was originally very restrained, but when he heard Qian Wenyu's words, he smiled, "Are you chasing me?"
Qian Wenyu looked at him generously and didn't explain, isn't it obvious enough to just say with an expression?
"Sister Wenyu, I know you think I'm ungrateful. Bai Hao said.
Qian Wenyu couldn't help laughing, "Don't dare, we are good to get together and disperse." Offended you, Brother Bai Hao, I don't know how to open this small company yet. ”
Listening to Qian Wenyu's angry words, Bai Hao's face did not change, "Actually, I have always been very grateful to you, Sister Tang Qin and Mr. Zhong, without you, I would not be where I am today." ”
"Hehehe," Qian Wenyu laughed, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." I'll forget it, thank you Tang Qin. ”
"At the last event in Thailand, I saw Sister Tang Qin," Bai Hao paused, "It's really long since I saw Mr. Zhong." ”
Qian Wenyu laughed and exhaled smoke, but her smile gradually solidified, and she frowned and remembered something.
"You...... How did she do when you saw Tang Qin when she was in Thailand?" Qian Wenyu hesitated, "I haven't seen her for a long time." ”
"The trip was too hurried, so we met in a hurry, and Sister Tang Qin was in good shape. Bai Hao replied.
The new agent came over to call Bai Hao, he took two steps and turned back and said, "Sister Wenyu, if you want to help in the future, I will definitely do it." ”
Qian Wenyu naturally didn't take this sentence to heart, just waved her hand and made a goodbye gesture.
After returning home, Qian Wenyu was worried and called Tang Qin a video.
"Are you still in Thailand?" asked Qian Wenyu as soon as the video was passed.
"yes, ah. Tang Qin was stunned by the question.
"Is Zhong Zhiyan also over there?" Qian Wenyu then asked.
"Who told you?" Tang Qin's expression became tense.
Qian Wenyu was so surprised that she was silent for a moment before she spoke, "I'll just say why you have nothing to do in a foreign country, it turns out that you eloped." ”
"Elopement?" Tang Qin was stunned, "Elopement what." ”
Qian Wenyu felt that Tang Qin was deliberately pretending to be confused, "It's not a way for you to hide there all the time, you always have to come back." ”
Tang Qin simply followed Qian Wenyu's words and said: "I haven't thought about the rest yet, who told you that?"
Qian Wenyu seemed to smile, "I guessed, someone today said that I haven't seen Mr. Zhong for a long time." ”
Tang Qin gave a thumbs up, "That's smart." ”
"Be serious," Qian Wenyu was in no mood to joke, "Have you figured it out clearly?"
Tang Qin put away his smile and became as serious as Qian Wenyu said, "These things can only be talked about when we go back." ”
Putting down the phone, Tang Qin fidgeted at the room where she was the only one, and always felt that someone would break into the door. She walked to the balcony and saw Li Ting sitting in the courtyard.
Tang Qin quickly went downstairs to find Li Ting in the courtyard.
"Ah Ting. ”
Hearing Tang Qin's greeting, Li Ting raised her head and smiled at her.
"Where's Akai?" Tang Qin sat down and asked, "Are you still uncomfortable in your room?"
"Well," Li Ting responded, "if he likes to hide inside, just hide inside, I'll ask the maid to bring the food in." ”
Tang Qin didn't speak, and sat quietly beside Li Ting, who glanced at Tang Qin after finishing her business.
"It's boring, isn't it?" Li Ting asked suddenly.
Tang Qin seemed to be in a daze, and only came back to his senses when he heard this, "Huh?"
"We don't have much entertainment here, and we get bored if we stay for a long time. Li Ting replied.
"No, no. Tang Qin hurriedly explained, "It's better to be quiet, there will be no such leisurely days when you go back." ”
After speaking, Tang Qin looked at Li Ting, "When Zhong Zhiyan's matter is finished, I will leave, I am quite reluctant to you and Akai." ”
Li Ting smiled, "You can come over and play, Akai and I are welcome at any time." ”
"When I get to work, I can't help myself, and my time is gone. Tang Qin sighed.
"I understand that your star's time is precious. Li Ting thought for a while, "Because Akai likes you so much, I wanted to invite you over for two days, but I didn't expect it to drag on for so long." ”
Tang Qin smiled awkwardly, if Li Ting didn't mention it, she really forgot how she got here. Remembering Zhong Zhiyan's reminder, the quiet years that seem to be good will indeed make people forget the reality of being in danger.
Li Ting suddenly remembered something, "Yes, I should have told Akai that you are leaving, and if you don't stay for a while, you won't have a chance." ”
Li Ting immediately got up and went to Li Kai's room, and it didn't take long for Li Kai to run out of the room. He stood in front of Tang Qin and asked nervously, "Are you leaving?"
"Come on, wait ......"
"Why?"
Tang Qin didn't finish speaking, and Li Kai asked anxiously.
"Akai, Tang Qin is also going home. Li Ting came over and explained.
"But...... But ......" Li Kai was entangled.
"Well, she's been playing with you for so long. Li Ting said again.
Tang Qin pulled Li Kai to sit down, "Well, I'm going home, I still have a job at home, and my brother, what else do you listen to, I'll tell you in the past two days." ”
As soon as his attention was diverted like this, Li Kai forgot about the parting that was close in front of him, and sat down to listen to Tang Qin talk about those interesting stories in the crew. Some things have actually been said once, but Li Kai didn't remember them, and he still listened to them with relish.
At dinner, Li Ting was very happy, and while Li Kai hadn't come yet, she said to Tang Qin, "Thank you, Akai is really happy today." ”
Tang Qin lowered his head and smiled, "He helped me kill my boredom!" And as long as she is by Li Kai and Li Ting's side, she is safe.
"I know you want to go back quickly," Li Ting glanced at Tang Qin's abdomen, "Worried about your body, right?"
Tang Qin just laughed, not wanting to talk about this topic.
"If you are really not at ease, I can take you to the hospital for a check-up first, so you can rest assured. Li Ting said thoughtfully.
Tang Qin's heart trembled, her breathing stopped for a second, and she slowly raised her head, "My body is fine, I can feel it myself." ”
Tang Qin's expression stiffened, and Li Ting nodded, only feeling that it was the sensitivity of a pregnant woman.
Late at night, Zhong Zhiyan opened the door and came in, Tang Qin suddenly woke up, and only relaxed when he saw Zhong Zhiyan. She was originally waiting for Zhong Zhiyan, but somehow fell asleep.
"It's me, go to sleep when you're sleepy. Zhong Zhiyan said.
Tang Qin sat on the bed and looked at her, completely sleepy.
"I asked Li Rong to go out with that bodyguard. Zhong Zhiyan wanted Tang Qin not to be too afraid.
"I stayed with Li Ting and Li Kai for a day today, and Li Ting said that she wanted to take me to the hospital...... Examine. ”
Zhong Zhiyan sat on the bed and looked at Tang Qin and frowned.
"I said I wasn't feeling unwell and didn't need to go to the hospital. Tang Qin replied in a low voice.
Zhong Zhiyan and Tang Qin looked at each other in silence, time was getting tighter and tighter, and they didn't say anything, but both of them knew it.
