At seven o'clock in the afternoon, Ji Ran couldn't help but stretch when he walked out of the hotel.

Touching the camera on her waist, she confidently looked back at the hotel signage and secretly snorted.

Do such a lack of morality as secretly installing a camera, and you will definitely have to peel off your skin.

After humming, Ji Ran took out his mobile phone refreshed and strode out. There was a unique noise in a hot pot restaurant from the microphone, and the voice that picked up the phone was unexpectedly choked, and he said very hoarsely.

"I'm done, where are you?"

The person on the other side drank about half a glass of beer before taking a breath and announcing the name of the place.

"What, are you choking with excitement when you get my call?"

Ji Ran joked, walking forward, she had always been used to observing the road conditions while walking, and seeing that the color of the roadside lights gradually became blurry, she looked at the light source.

No wonder, seeing that the famous clubhouse in the city suddenly appeared in the realization range, Ji Ran stared at the ambiguous pink-purple light on the sign, and the reporter's occupational disease made her gradually pay attention to the wide open door, observing whether there would be any shadow of a big man at this moment.

It's just a pity that I didn't catch the shadow of any big guys, but I saw someone I didn't want to see again.

Damn, the road is narrow.

I didn't pay attention to the words I was talking about in my heart, and when Ji Ran turned around and walked back, the person on the other side of the microphone asked with concern.

"I'm not going today, you guys can play. ”

After speaking, she quickly cut off the phone, stuffed her hands into her pockets, shrunk her shoulders, adjusted a sluggish posture, and walked forward quickly, still silently chanting in her heart, "I can't see me, I can't see me, I can't see me."

Ji Ran, who was walking briskly with his head down, suddenly saw a long shadow in front of him, listened to Gao Jiaze's voice slowly coming from behind him, slowed down his pace a little, and then stopped resignedly, and silently pressed the button of the recorder with his hand.

It's just that he witnessed a school bullying incident, and then he cheated people out of his hands with a sense of justice, how did it take ten days and half a month, and I still remember. These boys, who usually can't remember anything and don't care, how can they be so clearly remembered by a small role like her?

"Wow, meet again, how did you look dusty this time. ”

Gao Jiaze greeted excitedly as if he saw an old friend.

"Hi. ”

Ji Ran greeted Gao Jiaze who came over, knowing that he couldn't avoid it, so he simply changed to a kind smile. didn't think about it, but what was ushered in was a very fast slap.

The force was very strong, and when Ji Ran buzzed in his head, he tilted his head and didn't react.

Although in the past few years as a reporter, I have more or less encountered some threats, some intimidation, and sometimes, even some physical conflicts, but like this time, there was no prelude to direct action, which made Ji Ran a little stunned for a moment.

"Didn't you say last time that you didn't know what the consequences of being nosy are? ”

Gao Jiaze was still smiling, and his words had begun to have a faint sense of tyranny. He is a very grudgeful person, the last time Ji Ran deceived him and ignored him, but it made him angry for a long time, and he even wanted to find someone to check Ji Ran's identity and was ready to clean it up, but he was forced down by his family.

In their mouths, although the profession of journalist is inconspicuous and powerless, it is like a fly when it is glued, which makes people upset and can't get rid of it. Gao Jiaze scoffed at this, but there was no way. The fact that he was forced to let Ji Ran go made him haunted him for several days, but he didn't think about it, but the other party took the initiative to send it to the door.

Ji Ran also came back to her senses after listening to his words, she touched her somewhat hot face, and sneered silently in her heart. This completely tyrannical and unscrupulous way of behaving is really worthy of Ji Ran's evaluation of him from the bottom of his heart.

"This friend ......"

"Did I let you speak!"

Ji Ran still wanted to say a few words, Gao Jiaze kicked over, but he didn't expect Ji Ran's center of gravity to be unstable, and he fell directly to the ground, she raised her body with her elbows on the ground, and glared at him with some anger.

"Why? dare to stare at me, you stare at me, you stare again. ”

After speaking, he kicked towards Ji Ran's knee, Ji Ran covered his knee in pain, gritting his teeth and sighing, while thinking hatefully in his heart.

The little bunny is ruthless enough, don't let me catch your other tricks.

There were a few pedestrians walking by, Ji Ran looked through the gap between the figures without hope, some people looked forward for a while, their faces were a little unbearable, but looking at the few tall men around them, they still didn't step forward after all, but walked away in a few steps under the deterrence of the other party's eyes.

Although I have been prepared for a long time, I also know that everything in the world can only rely on myself most of the time. But seeing this picture, an irrepressible disappointment still overflowed from her heart.

"No matter how fierce you are, why, don't you dare to be fierce?"

Gao Jiaze squatted down and patted Ji Ran's face, seeing that there was no fear on her face, but just looked at him with some mockery and hatred, and the anger in her heart was even worse.

"Okay, don't be afraid, right, then let you know what it is to be afraid. ”

After speaking, he smiled maliciously, looked at the expressionless attendant standing on the side, and raised his eyebrows at them, and the other party took a step forward with understanding, squatted down and grabbed Ji Ran's foot.

The moment her ankle was buckled, Ji Ran suddenly panicked, she looked at Gao Jiaze who was smiling a little ill-intentioned in horror, and her voice trembled a little.

"What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, looking at you like this, there are probably no men around, I'll let my subordinates play with you." ”

The fear in Ji Ran's eyes finally gave him a sense of accomplishment, and he kicked the back of the man in front of him with his foot, signaling the other party to move faster.

The meaning of the words made Ji Ran's scalp tingle, goosebumps all over her body involuntarily appeared, she struggled for a moment, tried to hold on to the ground, and grabbed the protruding stone pier forward.

"Why bother to meet a small character like me. ”

Although he tried to keep his tone steady, the tremor in his tone was faintly audible.

What answered her was Gao Jiaze's disdainful cold snort.

She already felt that the man who grabbed her ankle wanted to drag her into the dark, Ji Ran finally struggled uncontrollably, but the more she struggled, the more she could feel the force restraining her getting stronger and stronger, and the hoop made her ankle hurt.

Seeing that he was about to be dragged away, someone coughed lightly.

Accompanied by the sound of light coughing, there was the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, Ji Ran felt that as the other party walked in, the strength of the hand holding her ankle gradually lightened, and the feeling of being choked by the throat but instantly relaxed made her heart beat violently, leaving tears uncontrollably.

"Young Master Gao, it's time to go back. ”

"Yo, now even I dare to care?"

Gao Jiaze looked at the man who appeared in front of him, his words were very tough, but the tone in his words softened, and the people around him reacted faster than him, and almost instantly let go of Ji Ran and stood up.

"Of course I don't dare, it's just that it's not early, and Mr. Gao has been waiting for you to go home. "The voice is very calm, and I can't hear any emotion.

"Bai Xingchen, are you threatening me?" Gao Jiaze took two steps forward and stood in front of the other party: "A subordinate, just a little favored, thinks you can order me?"

"Don't dare," the other party's tone did not fluctuate without any fluctuations, it was still the original speed of speech, the original tone, and continued: "But if something happens here, we can't deal with it, so Young Master Gao will raise his noble hand and consider us." ”

Gao Jiaze, who was just quick to speak, seemed to be a little jealous of Bai Xingchen's words, thinking that he had been called back by his father, but he had been delayed here for so long, his heart trembled, and his mood of wanting to find trouble also faded.

He turned his head and kicked Ji Ran's foot casually, and said indifferently:

"Forget it, I still have something to do today, just if you're lucky, but little reporter, remember in the future, don't mess with people you can't mess with. ”

After speaking, he didn't look at Ji Ran, so he just took the people around him and left.

After a while, Ji Ran's mood had calmed down from the ups and downs, she sat down with her knees hugged, and when she looked up, she found that the person who had just spoken was still here.

Just five paces away from her, I saw her raise her head and walk over.

Under the backlight, Ji Ran only felt that the other party seemed to be tall, wearing a leather jacket and shirt, but she couldn't see her face clearly, she squinted her eyes, and waited for the other party to get closer before she could see the other party's appearance clearly.

The sword eyebrows and starry eyes, with the obvious lines of the jaw angle, are all tough and exclusive to men, but there seems to be something very sad, the eyebrows are slightly locked, but the eyes are calm.

He stretched out his hand towards Ji Ran, Ji Ran thought about it, and stretched out his hand, and in the next second, he was pulled up.

"Thank you. She patted the dust that fell on her body when she fell to the ground, and quietly put the recorder hidden in her sleeve into her pocket, and after doing all this, she looked at Bai Xingchen, but found that the other party seemed to be looking at her all the time, and she didn't look away, she was a little puzzled.

"Excuse me, do you know me?"

Bai Xingchen heard her question, his eyes stayed on her face for a long time, and Ji Ran looked back at him without any fear, and after a long time, he shook his head.

"Nope. ”

"Anyway, thank you really for today, it's no exaggeration to say that you are now a hero who fell from the sky in my eyes. ”

Ji Ran said to herself, seeing that the other party didn't respond, she smiled:

"I won't introduce myself, I think since I can get him to be obedient, it won't be difficult to check my information. If there's anything I need help with in the future, I won't say no. ”

In just such a while, Ji Ran almost figured out the other party's reluctance to speak, she expressed her meaning clearly, bowed, and walked forward a few steps with her feet on her feet.

I didn't think it was just now, but now when I walk, my knee really hurts.

Ji Ran gritted his teeth and moved towards the taxi parked on the side of the road with a half-jump and half-walk.

"Are you sure you can go?"

"Don't worry, you can leave without interruption. Ji Ran took the time to turn around and fold his hands and nodded to him: "I'm already very grateful for you saving me, and I really don't want to trouble you anymore." ”

Bai Xingchen didn't speak again, he nodded towards Ji Ran, looking at her figure in the car, he was afraid of surging into his heart for a while, he really didn't expect it, but he couldn't bear it at that moment, and the person he saved was actually Ji Ran.

It's just that this is the first time they met, Ji Ran seems to be a little different from what he imagined, thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, now the other party's personality seems to have much to do with him.

It's really destiny, what you owe, you have to pay back.
