"Dididi"

The SMS exclusive prompt sounded, Ji Ran remembered the goosebumps at the end of the conversation with Gao Yecheng just now, and picked up the mobile phone in a little panic and opened the SMS interface.

It wasn't any threat she imagined, but a photo, Ji Ran frowned and clicked on it, and a crashed car came into view.

It looks like a very normal car accident photo, but Ji Ran also knew that Gao Yecheng couldn't send irrelevant photos to himself for no reason, so he enlarged the photo a little bit, and then looked at it seriously.

When her eyes stopped on the figure sitting in the car, her hand shook and she almost threw away the phone she was holding.

The figure with his head hanging and bleeding from his face seemed to be her friend for many years, Ding Cheng.

Ji Ranxin panicked instantly, she hurriedly exited the SMS interface, panicked to find Ding Cheng's phone address book, and when she pressed it, her hand trembled twice.

The wiring sound, which was originally very annoying, is now even more upsetting and irritable, Ji Ran listened to the frequency of beeping in his ears, and intuitively felt that it took a long, long time before someone over there picked up the phone.

It's just a voice, but it's not Ding Cheng's, but another voice, which she is very familiar with.

"Xiao Ran?"

"Jiang Qiu, Ding Cheng, is there something wrong with his ,,,,,,?"

Ji Ran asked cautiously, she was afraid to hear the words that scared her from Jiang Qiu's mouth, but she couldn't help but want to ask for verification and care.

Jiang Qiu on the other side of the microphone was silent for a moment, and then spoke slowly, with a hint of hoarseness in his voice:

"Something ,,, happened to him, and now, Liang Xia and I are both in the hospital. ”

"Where are you?"

Ji Ran stood up and walked out the door, but Jiang Qiu's voice paused:

"Xiao Ran, you still, don't come here yet. ”

"What's wrong? Is it serious?"

His words made Ji Ran even more worried, she didn't stop, and walked straight towards the elevator.

"Xiao Ran, now you come here, it's actually ,,,,,,"

"What are you worried about? After so many years of friendship, I'm very worried that something will really happen to Ding Cheng, if you really have something unspeakable over there, wait for me to go and see him, and then say no?"

Ji Ran was in a hurry, and the words spit out of his mouth, Jiang Qiu was silent by her for a while, and then agreed a little helplessly.

A few minutes later, the address was sent to Ji Ran's mobile phone as promised. She was in a hurry to wait, she almost jumped up and walked out, at this moment, what threat, what hiding, Ji Ran left behind.

It's not that she forgot, but that those threats to herself are even less worth mentioning than the lives of her best friends.

***

In the hospital, Jiang Qiu and Liang Xia sat by Ding Cheng's window. Liang Xia stretched out his hand to help Ding Cheng tuck the corners of his back, looking at Ding Cheng's forehead wrapped in gauze, as well as the swollen corners of his eyes, and his hanging right leg, his expression suddenly became sad again.

Jiang Qiu noticed that something was wrong with her and patted her on the shoulder:

"Don't be too sad, the doctor said, I was lucky to have picked up a life. ”

Liang Xia wiped her tears and nodded, she turned her head sideways to look at Jiang Qiu, who was still frowning:

"Xiao Ran is coming over soon, and when she sees Ding Cheng like this, she will definitely be even more sad. Seeing that when Ji Ran was mentioned, Jiang Qiu's brows furrowed again, and after many years of love, Liang Xia naturally knew the thoughts hidden under his expression.

So she bumped Jiang Qiu's arm:

"Don't think too much, don't talk too much later, it scares her. After all, if this kind of thing happens, no one wants it, and she must be sad in her heart, so don't add fuel to the fire. ”

Liang Xia didn't know if Jiang Qiu listened to it, but she was also familiar with Jiang Qiu's stinky temper, and whether she could listen to it or not was all up to his own thoughts, so he didn't know much anymore, and took care of Ding Cheng intently.

Soon, Ji Ran felt it.

She came in a bit of a dusty way, wearing a single coat, and it looked like she had forgotten her coat in such a hurry. Jiang Qiu looked at her and rushed to Ding Cheng's side in a daze, and after a few glances, her eyes were wet, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

It's just that there are some things that I can't help but say.

He made a decision in his heart, so he leaned against the wall, waiting for Ji Ran and Liang Xia to vent those uneasy and guilty feelings, and only when Ji Ran almost calmed down and returned to his previous demeanor did he walk over.

"Xiao Ran, let's go out and talk. ”

"Don't, you can't go away now, let's talk later. ”

Liang Xia stretched out his hand and pulled Ji Ran's arm, but his eyes were looking at Jiang Qiu, Jiang Qiu could naturally see the disapproval in her eyes, but the expression on his face still did not loosen at all.

Ji Ran knew that Jiang Qiu had something to say, although she didn't have much energy now, but she didn't want Liang Xia to be embarrassed, so she patted her hand comfortingly and said:

"It's okay, Lao Jiang has something to say, let's talk about it, just look at Ding Cheng here, don't worry. ”

She intuitively felt that something different would happen between them today, but Ji Ran also knew that she seemed to have no way to stop it.

Liang Xiaji looked at the attitude of the two, and finally let go, sat down next to Ding Cheng, and watched the two leave the ward, then she turned her head and sighed at Ding Cheng, who was still in a coma, and muttered in her mouth:

"Chengcheng, do you say that the relationship between the four of us for so many years will finally stop today? I'm really, quite scared. ”

***

Ji Ran followed Jiang Qiu along the corridor of the hospital, turned two corners, and Jiang Qiu in front finally stopped in a corner. She also followed Jiang Qiu and stopped.

It's just that in the few minutes after stopping, Jiang Qiu just frowned and hung his head slightly, without a glance, Ji Ran could see at a glance that he had something in his heart, but he was worried about whether it was right to say it. Ji Ran looked at his hesitation, and simply made it clear to himself first:

"Old Jiang, what do you want to say, just say it?"

When Jiang Qiu heard her words, he raised his head and stared at her, as if he was brewing, and it took a long time before he said:

"You asked me for help before, and I have always had some doubts, but I haven't been able to get to the bottom of it, but now, I really want to ask you, Xiao Ran, what is the matter you tracked down before?"

Ji Ran didn't expect Jiang Qiu to ask this, she was stunned for a moment, then squeezed out a smile and said:

"It's nothing, it's just a job. ”

"Xiao Ran, we've known each other for so many years, and as soon as you put on this expression, I knew that what you said wasn't the truth. Then let me just ask, is that incident related to your brother's disappearance?"

Jiang Qiu hit a straight ball, Ji Ran didn't know how to answer for a while, she didn't want to hide her good friend, but her intuition told her that knowing too much was a very dangerous thing.

"Why do you ask this?"

She subconsciously wanted to escape, but Jiang Qiu's next sentence firmly pinned her in place, and her back was numb:

"Because, today's injury to Ding Cheng is related to this incident. ”

Jiang Qiu was stunned when he saw her, and he couldn't bear it for a while, he got a little closer, held Ji Ran's shoulders with both hands, and said slowly:

"I know you can't let go of this matter, you can't let go of your brother's disappearance, but Xiao Ran, people always have to look forward, if you keep nostalgic for the past, there is no way to get out and start a new life. ”

Ji Ran slowed down for a moment, and now she finally understood, she opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything, Jiang Qiu looked at her, with some persuasion, and continued:

"I know it's hard, but you always try, otherwise, it's actually very dangerous to keep tracking. ”

"Why do you think it's dangerous?"

Ji Ran suddenly raised his head, stared straight at him, and asked a little anxiously:

"Old Jiang, tell me honestly, do you know something?"

The two looked at each other, the exhortation in Jiang Qiu's eyes and the fierceness in Ji Ran's eyes were intertwined, and they didn't give in to each other, and after a while, Jiang Qiu was defeated, he sighed and said:

"Yes, because someone came to us before you came. ”

"Who"

Ji Ran could almost guess the name of that person, but the little bit of luck in her heart couldn't help but come out and let her ask this question.

"Gao Yecheng. ”

Sure enough, it was him, Ji Ran smiled bitterly, a little depressed in his heart, he actually started with his friend, but although he knew everything, he still couldn't stop anything, it was really desperate.

Jiang Qiu looked at her expression, thinking that she had loosened a little, and then said:

"Xiao Ran, you really don't know what kind of big guy you've provoked. ”

"I know. Ji Ran interrupted him, then raised his eyes to look at him, with some gloom in his eyes, and said:

"So, I never dared to tell you what I was doing, I really thought it would be better if you knew less. ”

"Why don't you just think about it, just leave everything before and start a new life? Even if you maintain the original state of life, is there anything wrong with that? Xiao Ran, think about it, before you started this troubled water, although our life was a little boring, but at least we were safe and happy, but now?"

"In my eyes, it's not muddy waters. ”

Ji Ran said seriously: "I really thought that I could do it, I thought I could trace the truth of the year and give an explanation to my brother and my parents, but who knows, before I succeeded, I had already exposed myself to others." ”

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Qiu hurriedly interjected:

"Xiao Ran, listen to me, as long as you want, everything is in time, you can go back to your previous stable life, track the news you are interested in, and live the life you like, and we will be like before, happy to drink, unhappy to talk, think about it, how pleasant the previous life was, right. ”

He finished speaking in one breath, and then with some expectations, he asked Ji Ran:

"Xiao Ran, you give up tracking down Gao Yecheng, okay?"
