He had just picked up the phone when he saw the car window tapped twice.

Jiang Wanyan had already gone up the stairs and down again, as if she was in a hurry to ask him about something, Qi Zhou put the phone in his pocket and opened the window.

"Anything else?"

Jiang Wanyan bit her lip and said, "I still want to know, why did you bail me out of the Patrol Bureau, and what exactly did we intersect." ”

Qi Zhou was lukewarm: "What do you think we have in common?"

Jiang Wanyan said, "No." ”

Qi Zhou retracted his gaze: "That's no." ”

After saying that, he started the car, Jiang Wanyan looked inexplicable, looked at the car that had already driven away, and didn't have time to scream.

Jiang Wanyan pursed her lips, and the doubts in her heart gradually rose, she herself had definitely only seen this man on the information, and there was no contact anywhere else, why did he help her?

Now she doesn't believe those things in the past like she used to, for example, men help her just because of her beauty, she is not good at dressing up now, and she doesn't believe that a man of this value will help because she hasn't seen it.

Reactive power is not punished.

In order to find out the whole story, Jiang Wanyan went to the Patrol and Arrest Bureau, but when she asked the young police officer why she was released on bail without incident, the answer given by the police was: "Because it is clear that the murderer is someone else, you are indeed justified in self-defense." ”

Jiang Wanyan asked, "Who is the murderer?"

The patrol glanced at her, thought for a while, and said: "It's a card friend of the deceased, because the deceased liked gambling and nostalgia in the chess and card room, borrowed a lot of usury, and finally was directly retaliated by the gang to death, and the person who stabbed him is now locked in the detention room." ”

Jiang Wanyan was shocked, and the whole person felt full of incredulity, and there was a chill in his heart that struck him with incredulity.

If she remembers correctly, Zhao Yicheng said that Lu Qilin had designed him to take the initiative to lend usury, although he can't be sure of the truth or falsehood of Zhao Yicheng's words, but if it is true, wouldn't it be that Lu Qilin also indirectly caused it......

No, no, according to her understanding of Lu Qilin, Lu Qilin would not do this, definitely not.

Zhao Yicheng must be lying.

Jiang Wanyan's whole body trembled a little, she didn't want to think about these things, but her mind was thinking uncontrollably.

Told herself countless times that no matter what Lu Qilin did, it had nothing to do with her, and after thinking about it like this, she returned home and cooked some food for herself at will, but the whole person was still absent-minded.

After thinking about it, he finally dialed Jiang Zhihai.

Since she remitted the money that time, Jiang Zhihai has not moved, and she has not come to her again, Jiang Wanyan has to think more, after all, her father and her are in the same city, and if there is always no contact, she will have a faint uneasiness in her heart.

But Jiang Zhihai didn't answer the phone.

Jiang Wanyan looked at the phone call that was not connected for two seconds, put down the phone irritably, and fell asleep.

I don't know that after a few days like this, Jiang Wanyan has continued to maintain this uneasiness in her heart, but she felt that she couldn't go on like this, so she thought about going out for a walk to relieve her inexplicably depressed mood.

The person named Qi Zhou never appeared again, because he had a bunch of uneasy thoughts, he didn't look for a job well, or he was in a bad state, and he basically stayed at home.

It was a week after Liu Yuan came to the door.

She was getting up from her bed, thinking she had a cold, when she heard a sharp knock at the door.

When Jiang Wanyan opened the door, she saw Liu Yuan with an anxious face, and before she could ask, Liu Yuan directly pulled her and wanted to go out: "You go somewhere with me." ”

Jiang Wanyan was caught off guard: "Wait, what are you going to do?"

Seeing Liu Yuan's eagerness, his eyes were still a little red, Jiang Wanyan frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Yuan let go of Jiang Wanyan and said, "You go and wash up first." ”

Jiang Wanyan said, "Hmm." ”

Although she was puzzled, she still freshened up, changed her clothes, and followed Liu Yuan downstairs, Liu Yuan directly let Jiang Wanyan get into her car, she sat in the co-pilot, and watched Liu Yuan start the car.

Liu Yuan slammed on the brakes, Jiang Wanyan quickly fastened her seat belt, and then saw Liu Yuan driving the car very quickly and concentrated, and couldn't help but say, "Have you had breakfast?"

Liu Yuan didn't speak, Jiang Wanyan touched his stomach and said, "I haven't eaten yet, we'll see a store open later, you can eat something first." ”

Liu Yuan still didn't speak, Jiang Wanyan's brows furrowed even tighter, and she said, "Where are you going to take me?" ”

Liu Yuan didn't plan to answer her at all, Jiang Wanyan pouted, just let her be, twenty minutes later, Liu Yuan finally stopped the car and said coldly: "Get off." ”

Jiang Wanyan opened the car door, got out of the car, looked around, and found that this was a very old residential house, the building and some small shops outside even looked a little dilapidated, and many retired old people with subsistence allowances lived here.

Jiang Wanyan seemed to have been here once, but she had forgotten when she had been, and saw Liu Yuan buy a porridge around the community, and then carry the porridge and lead her into the community.

Said to be a community, in fact, the security is not too good, a security guard sat in the security room lazily napping, and there was no access card, Liu Yuan walked in very easily, Jiang Wanyan followed, and then directly entered the second house.

There is a gate set up here, but it is a very old-fashioned door, the kind that needs to be opened with a key, Liu Yuan took out the key from his pocket and opened the door, giving Jiang Wanyan a look, and it was suitable for her to go in first.

Jiang Wanyan asked her, "What is this? You live here now?"

Asked this question, even Jiang Wanyan himself didn't believe it, but Liu Yuan didn't explain much, but let her enter the door, and then followed Jiang Wanyan into the door, there was no elevator, the corridor was dim, but the sound of the two people's shoes stepped out of the light.

After reaching the third floor, Liu Yuan used the key to open the door on the right, and then walked in with Jiang Wanyan.

Jiang Wanyan didn't know why, and watched Liu Yuan turn on the light, and then saw the scene here.

The house is not big, it looks like seventy or eighty square meters, and the furniture is not much, but it is very tidy.

Jiang Wanyan stopped at the door, and Liu Yuan said to her, "Come in, you don't need to change your shoes." ”

Jiang Wanyan nodded and walked in with her.

However, the scene in the bedroom shocked her a little, only to see a person lying on the bed inside, Jiang Wanyan could see clearly, it was a sleeping woman in her early sixties, her hair and sideburns were a little gray, and her mental state was not very good.

I saw Liu Yuan sit down on the bed next to her, then patted the bed, and said to her, "Mom, get up, I'll bring you porridge back." ”

Liu Yuan's mother didn't react, Liu Yuan gently shook her twice, and said, "The porridge won't taste good if it's cold." ”

The old woman opened her eyes with some intuition, and when she saw Liu Yuan, she said, "Yuanyuan, you are here." ”

Liu Yuan nodded, and then after helping the old woman up, she took out the porridge, scooped a spoonful and fed it to her mouth, the old woman sighed, glanced around, and saw Jiang Wanyan.

Jiang Wanyan didn't wait for the old woman to say anything, so she said, "Auntie is good." ”

The old woman looked at Liu Yuan and asked, "Who is she?"

After Liu Yuan fed a mouthful of porridge to her mouth, she said, "It's my friend who just came to Beicheng, and after hearing about your physical condition, he came to see you with me today." ”

The old woman smiled at Jiang Wanyan: "Thank you, you don't dislike me here, and you came to see me ......."

The old woman seemed to be about to gasp when she said a word, Jiang Wanyan felt a little sad when she looked at it, she looked at the old woman's appearance of difficulty eating, and she wanted to deny it and admit it at once: "No, this is a gesture, and I didn't bring you anything today." ”

The old woman shook her head: "You don't need to bring anything, our Yuanyuan has been working hard for so long, the first time I saw her bring a friend back, you must be a very important friend of our Yuanyuan, I hope you will take more care of our Yuanyuan in the future......"

"Okay, Mom, let's eat porridge first. ”

Liu Yuan interrupted the old woman's words, fed the porridge again, Jiang Wanyan just stood aside and watched her finish feeding, and then helped the old woman lie down, and pulled Jiang Wanyan out of the room.

Jiang Wanyan watched her clean up the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned the hygiene here quickly, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Yuan paused with the hand holding the broom and said, "What's going on isn't it very clear?"

Jiang Wanyan said: "I'm asking, what is the purpose of you bringing me here. ”

Liu Yuan laughed, it was a wry smile, she faced Jiang Wanyan and knelt down directly.

Jiang Wanyan was frightened by her sudden action, and hurriedly helped her up, she said, "What are you doing? Why are you kneeling down suddenly?"

But Liu Yuan knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, she suddenly changed her face, from calm to suddenly embarrassed and collapsed, she said: "Jiang Wanyan, can you let your father let me go, I really can't stand it!" You also saw it just now, my mother is not in good health, I avoid your father again and again, and I have moved a few places, but why can he find him every time, I know that the previous thing is that I am sorry for him, but you let him open a condition, any condition is good, if I meet it, you let him let me go!"

Liu Yuan's tears suddenly fell like this, dripping directly on her hands, and her hands were dragged by Liu Yuan, which hurt incomparably.

Jiang Wanyan was stunned and said, "What the hell is going on? Is my dad still harassing you? You stand up and tell me, I can't think normally if you are like this, you can at least tell me why things have become like this, and how he found you." ”

Liu Yuan looked at Jiang Wanyan, bit her lip and stood up, glanced at her mother who was still lying in the bedroom, and pulled Jiang Wanyan out of the door.

Jiang Wanyan passively walked with her, she went outside the door, wiped away her tears and said: "I don't know how your father found me, but it's normal that he always has some way, after all, his connections are there, and he has now coerced my life!

Liu Yuan grabbed Jiang Wanyan's shoulder and was extremely excited and shook vigorously.

Jiang Wanyan swallowed and said, "Why does Auntie live in such a place, he ...... Didn't I give you a lot of money at that time?"

Liu Yuan's eyes were full of grievances, and when she mentioned this incident, a trace of despair suddenly crossed her eyes: "My mother has cancer." ”

Jiang Wanyan's heart was shocked.

Liu Yuan added: "Breast cancer, mid-stage, chemotherapy from the early stage, do you know how expensive the drug is? The daily expenses, as well as my meager income, are no longer enough to support my mother to continue living in the hospital, why do you think I would rent that house to you?" And living in the hospital is also easy to be noticed by him, I just said, I have moved a lot, this place has just moved in a few days, but now I am starting to be scared again, because I received a call from him last night, I am really afraid that he will appear in front of me in the next second. ”

Jiang Wanyan said that it was impossible not to be surprised, and it took a long time to straighten out these things, and she couldn't say a word.

Although he knew that Liu Yuan was using her sympathy to bring her to this place, there was still a trace of pity in his heart.

Liu Yuan tugged at the corners of her mouth, if she hadn't said it today, Jiang Wanyan would never have thought that such a person, who was usually gentle and demure and smiling everywhere, would hide such a big thing in his heart.

She said: "Jiang Wanyan, can you imagine what it is like for you to live in fear every day? Can you imagine that when you open your eyes every day, what you worry about is whether someone will follow you? Have you tried? You have been pampered since you were a child, even if you don't have the protection of the Jiang family now, you still live well in Beicheng without incident, don't you think about who is sheltering you? Do you know how much you yourself are in the blessings and don't know how blessed!?"

Jiang Wanyan looked at Liu Yuan a little aggressively, and she couldn't bear it in her heart, she didn't think about her words at all, but retorted: "That's what you provoked my dad first! I don't care what illness your mother had at the beginning, and no matter how difficult your life was before, it was you who chose to be Lu Qilin's subordinate, and you yourself were willing to be this junior, since you chose to do such a special 'position', you should think of the consequences!" Instead of letting me bear the consequences after the incident, I will be like a victim!"

Xu is Jiang Wanyan has not lost her temper for too long, Liu Yuan was frightened by such Jiang Wanyan, she was half less arrogant, but she still stared at Jiang Wanyan lukewarmly, Jiang Wanyan glared back at her mercilessly.

The atmosphere in the corridor was already extremely stiff, Liu Yuan and Jiang Wanyan did not give in to each other, she saw that Liu Yuan's body was trembling a little, but she had no room for concession.

After a while, Jiang Wanyan probably thought of the scene he had just seen, and suddenly felt a little soft-hearted.

However, the pride of the past made her unable to let go at all, so she turned her face away and said in a dull voice: "But the matter has come to this, it is useless for us to talk about the previous things, I will contact my dad, and I will persuade him to let him sit down with you and have a good talk......"

"Let's talk about it?" Liu Yuan seemed to have heard some earth-shattering joke, she sneered and said: "Forget it, I can't afford it, if I sit in front of your father, he has to kill me, let him make conditions, as long as I can do it, I will do whatever it takes." ”

Jiang Wanyan saw that Liu Yuan was also very absolute, and said, "I can't contact him, now." ”

Liu Yuan sneered: "How is it possible." ”

Jiang Wanyan said: "Really, he is busy with business now, and he doesn't even answer my phone." ”

Liu Yuan frowned, and her eyes crossed for a moment of thought.

Jiang Wanyan continued: "During the days I came to Beicheng, whether you were true or false, I really felt your care, and I still have to thank you for this alone. ”

Liu Yuan didn't speak, Jiang Wanyan said: "You are almost out of words today, I thought I could still be friends with you, but now I think about it, I am too naïve, it's just that, the words have come to this, don't contact you in the future." ”

After Jiang Wanyan finished saying this, his heart was much more relaxed, and he didn't know why, so he breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

She said, "I can't take care of what he is pestering you, so you can ask for more blessings." ”

Jiang Wanyan said, turned around and walked downstairs, without looking back, in fact, she had almost forgotten what happened a year and a half ago, but the people around her always reminded her to remember, so that she continued to accumulate burdens in her heart.

It seems that escaping from Bencheng can escape everything, this is just a delusion, but this is not the case at all, she can't escape everything.

When is the end of the day?

I went downstairs and took a taxi home, but when I first arrived at the gate of the community, I saw Qi Zhou's figure, he was still standing there with a cold face, Jiang Wanyan walked over, ready to say hello to him.

Although they know each other inexplicably, Jiang Wanyan is so tired that she can't do it now, and she just wants to find someone who has nothing to do with this matter to vent.

Although this Qi Zhou is a little cold, it is said that this kind of ice cube is the most able to hide things in their hearts, and they are no different from strangers.

"Hi, why are you here. Jiang Wanyan was a little pale and said hello to Qi Zhou.

Qi Zhou didn't speak, Jiang Wanyan looked at the breakfast in his hand, and said with a smile: "Did you buy it for me?"

Qi Zhou didn't say anything, but stuffed the things in his hand into Jiang Wanyan's arms.

Jiang Wanyan raised what he thought was the brightest smile and said to him: "Thank you, it's still hot, I'm very happy." ”

Qi Zhou looked at Jiang Wanyan for a few seconds and said, "You still don't have to laugh." ”

The corners of Jiang Wanyan's mouth froze, and for some reason, she asked, "Why?"

Qi Zhou said: "The way you smile is very ugly. ”

After that, he didn't allow Jiang Wanyan to refute a word, he got into the car directly, started the car, Jiang Wanyan watched him go away again, and once again petrified in place.

What is this?

Why does this man come and go without a trace every time, and say something inexplicably shocking?

Jiang Wanyan pursed her lips and put away her smile, although the breakfast in her hand could make her a little happy, but now it was already past the time to eat breakfast, even if it was a moment of happiness, it couldn't stop the pressure in her heart.

Since that day, she has been the appearance of Liu Yuan's mother lying on the bed when she opens and closes her eyes, and the words she said were very refreshing at the time, but now she only thinks back to it, deeply uneasy.

So in order to alleviate her guilt, she called Jiang Zhihai almost every few hours to try to contact him.

In fact, what Jiang Zhihai would do to Liu Yuan, she said that it was impossible not to worry.

But the takeover was naturally fruitless, Jiang Zhihai didn't answer his phone at all, and a few days later, she called again, and it was empty.

She became more and more anxious, but there was no one she knew in Beicheng at all, and it was not easy to find someone, so she could only be anxious.

But she had a new way.

Qi Zhou has been looking for her more diligently these days, and Jiang Wanyan found that although this man has few words, every time he exits is a golden sentence, and he can't say a word of her scolding, he can only secretly eat the deflated extent.

After getting along as a friend for more than two months, Jiang Wanyan finally almost let down her guard against Qi Zhou, and slowly regarded him as a friend in her heart, but she still didn't give up asking him why he rescued her from the Patrol Bureau.

Qi Zhou was reluctant to say it at first, but later he casually gave her an answer, saying that he had seen her in Beicheng by chance and was very impressed.

"What coincidence?" Jiang Wanyan asked.

Qi Zhou pursed her lips and smiled, she rarely saw him smile, she had always had a cold face, and suddenly smiled like this, which made Jiang Wanyan stunned.

Qi Zhou really seemed to remember something, and said: "At the beginning of the year, on the snowy mountain, I soaked in the hot springs. ”

Jiang Wanyan was shocked: "Soaking in the hot springs? Did you see me soaking in the hot springs? You also climbed the mountain at that time?"

Qi Zhou shook his head: "No, I came to this place to talk about business, so I happened to take the road of the Snow Mountain, and I saw you by chance." ”

Jiang Wanyan muttered: "Yes, that's really a coincidence......"

Qi Zhou had a smile in his eyes: "It was also that time that I found out that some people can fall asleep in hot springs." ”

Jiang Wanyan smiled, and her memory was suddenly pulled back to the beginning of the year, when she had just followed the company's team building, and she seemed to have had a dream in the hot spring......

As for what kind of dream it was, Jiang Wanyan found that he didn't want to think about it anymore, and only remembered what seemed to be a painful thing.

There have been too many things happening these days, one by one, which makes her really want to leave the past behind, but the facts force her to face it, but fortunately, she feels much more comfortable when she says it now.

Qi Zhou didn't notice Jiang Wanyan's thoughts, and said, "It was that time that made me have an impression of you, so I will occasionally see you in the Patrol Bureau later, so I decided to bail you out." ”

Jiang Wanyan suddenly laughed when she heard this.

Qi Zhou asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Wanyan said: "This is a sincere smile, not a forced pretence, I am laughing at my charm." ”

Seeing Jiang Wanyan smiling so happily, Qi Zhou also lowered his eyes and smiled, but there was a trace of concealment in his eyes.
