"Why, don't you seem happy to see me?"

Seeing Ji Ran with displeasure in the rearview mirror, Bai Xingchen turned around and said deliberately.

How could he be happy, Ji Ran leaned on the back seat speechlessly, and slammed his forehead on the side of the car window. finally had the opportunity to be alone with Xiang Sibo, and he could turn around and inquire about the news of Ji Kaiyu in Xiang Sibo's mouth. But now, the plan was disrupted by the person in front of him.

Thinking of this, Ji Ran stared at Bai Xingchen's back driving with an indignant face, and that look seemed to shoot through the other party. Bai Xingchen was a little uncomfortable, but he quickly adjusted.

He was very clear about Ji Ran's purpose for getting into Xiang Sibo's car, but he didn't want the two of them to have any contact at all, thinking that Ji Ran might attract Xiang Sibo's attention because of several problems, and then fall into danger, he immediately made up a reason to let Xiang Sibo leave.

"You work under Gao Yecheng?"

Ji Ran opened his mouth coldly, with some anger, but this anger did not come from hatred for Gao Yecheng, but another even stranger feeling.

I have to say that with Bai Xingchen's help twice and several chance encounters, Ji Ran has some good feelings for him, even if he guessed that the other party had something to do with Gao's company, but he never thought that he was the one who helped Gao Yecheng do things.

In her heart, Gao Yecheng is a person who can do anything for his own interests, so it is impossible for the people who work under him not to know, and it is even possible that he is a helper.

It is difficult for Ji Ran to imagine and believe that Bai Xingchen is a character who aids and abuses, which is too different from her initial understanding. A person who rescued her in Gao Jiaze's hands and helped her get out of danger when she was in prison, Ji Ran really couldn't classify him as Gao Yecheng's similar role area, but what happened today really reminded her that all this was true.

Bai Xingchen didn't answer immediately when he heard her question, and after a few minutes, he hummed softly.

"Didn't you hear it all?" he continued, slowing his tone.

"That is, indeed. ”

Ji Ran's voice sounded sorrowful, and after answering this sentence, he didn't speak for a long time, and Bai Xingchen couldn't help but secretly look at her through the rearview mirror.

At this time, Ji Ran blew back the wind, and she didn't bother to worry about the question just now, when she was bored, her eyes fell on the bag that had just been put aside, and on a whim, she took out the box inside.

Opening the box, what caught his eye was the neatly arranged small telecommunications, Ji Ran fumbled, and took one out of the corner, revealing the space below.

I saw a stack of red banknotes neatly arranged at the bottom of the box, and when I lifted a corner, I could feel its sufficient thickness, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as I guessed, Ji Ran pursed his mouth, snorted a little from his nose, closed the box with a snap, and threw it aside in disgust.

Bai Xingchen in the driver's seat quietly watched her movements, feeling a little funny and inexplicably cute.

"It's ......"

As soon as the car stopped, Ji Ran couldn't wait to open the door and get out of the car, stood at the door and thought for a while, but still took the "gift" given by Gao Yecheng, didn't look at Bai Xingchen, and walked straight towards the hotel door.

Footsteps followed, and within a few seconds, Bai Xingchen's figure appeared beside her, showing a posture of the two walking side by side.

"You're living here, huh?"

"I'm going to take you to the factory these days, so it's easier to stay here. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Ran, who was a little absent-minded, gently tugged on her sleeve, took her to a place a little farther away from the stairs, and then quickly withdrew his hand:

"Can't you change someone?" Ji Ran muttered twice, and Bai Xingchen'er caught her whispered complaint.

"I'm sorry, I can't. ”

He replied deliberately.

While the two were talking, the others also arrived, Yang Ting walked up the steps in a few steps, and when she passed by Ji Ran and Bai Xingchen who were standing at the door, she glanced at her suspiciously, then shook her head, and walked quickly to the elevator with her colleagues.

Xiang Sibo stopped by the car door for a while, and then walked over slowly, and when he walked up the steps, he stared at Bai Xingchen with unkind eyes.

I was inexplicably called away, and when I looked back and saw that the car had been driven away, I thought about it with my toes and knew who did it. It's just that with Bai Xingchen's character, what is the reason for doing this?

Thinking about it, his eyes moved to Ji Ran beside Bai Xingchen.

Ji Ran involuntarily shrank back silently, and lowered his head slightly, if Xiang Sibo suddenly became suspicious, this would not be good.

As she stepped back, she felt a sudden shadow in front of her, as if someone had stepped in front of her and blocked Xiang Sibo's sight for her. She was stunned for a moment, and before she could look up carefully, she heard Bai Xingchen's voice.

"You're late. ”

actually used this tone to talk to himself, Xiang Sibo was out of breath at the moment, and glanced at Bai Xingchen with a sneer, and didn't say anything, he accelerated the speed of his feet, and in a few steps, he left the two behind.

Bai Xingchen's expression didn't change much, he just turned around and shrugged at Ji Ran slightly.

"Let's go. ”

***

Bai Xingchen has always woken up early, especially sleeping in unfamiliar places.

I didn't feel sleepy at the moment, so I simply got up and walked out of the room, and was about to go to the gym downstairs to do some morning exercise.

Bai Xingchen looked at the watch in his hand, it seemed that there was still a long time before the agreed departure time, where did he go in an unfamiliar place?

Before he could think about it, Ji Ran's figure was about to disappear from his sight, and Bai Xingchen followed with his legs.

Finally threw away the hot potato and walked out of the foundation, Ji Ran unfolded the list in his hand, looking at the three words of Ji Kaiyu who had worked neatly on the donor, he was satisfied and a little stunned at the same time.

She couldn't accept Gao Yecheng's gift, but it was impossible to refuse, thinking about it, and only in this way could she feel better.

Carefully putting the list into her bag, Ji Ran slowly paced back along the way she came, and while her heart was relaxed, she didn't notice Bai Xingchen who was silently watching her movements not far away.

It's really impulsive, Bai Xingchen shook his head, he dared to do this while he was still in Gao Yecheng's field of vision, if it wasn't himself who met her today, then ......

This point is quite similar to Ji Kaiyu, thinking that in the end, Bai Xingchen could only come to such a conclusion and followed from afar.

***

When she arrived at the base, as soon as Ji Ran opened the trunk, Bai Xingchen reached out to help her take out the photographic equipment.

Ji Ran didn't squirm, picked up the bag, thanked him, and the two walked inside.

The site was built far away, about three hours' drive from the city, with a number of deserted villages and hills along the way. Ji Ran was groggy in the car for a long time, and when it was time to work, he quickly wiped his face and brought himself back to his senses.

The next thing is very familiar, interviewing and filming are things that Ji Ran is good at, plus the base obviously made some arrangements after knowing that a reporter was coming, and the places that can be photographed are all in order, and the words of the people who can be contacted obviously have their own frameworks, which have been specially practiced.

At the same time, it still feels very boring, when Ji Ran was shooting with a tripod, he grabbed a little female worker who seemed to be passing by in the corner, her face was timid, and she did not have the sleek and calm of the workers interviewed before.

Inquired about the more mysterious and core area in the eyes of ordinary workers, Ji Ran found a time and slipped over.

She didn't know if there would be any secrets hidden here that were unfavorable to Gao Yecheng, but since it was built so far away, and the internal area was not transparent and public, she was deliberately only taken to the outer area during the interview, which at least showed that there were still some problems.

She followed the direction the little female worker said, and the journey was very smooth, and she didn't meet anyone at all. It was only when she walked a few more steps that she found several closed warehouse doors, and there were even one or two men in workers' uniforms, but with very strong figures, standing at the door.

Ji Ran swallowed her saliva a little nervously, and was about to step forward and pretend to be lost for a few words, when there was a sound of footsteps behind her, loud, as if she was deliberately reminding her.

"How did you get here? ”

"Oh, just hang out. ”

Bai Xingchen's voice made Ji Ran stop in time, turned around calmly as if nothing had happened, and smiled at the other party.

"It's ready over there, let's go over first. ”

Ji Ran followed behind him, pretending to be casual with some curiosity, and said:

"I don't think I've heard you talk about it before. ”

Who doesn't want Bai Xingchen to stop his steps suddenly, suddenly turned around without saying a word, looked at Ji Ran and walked forward with his head half-bowed, stretched out his hand, and pressed her shoulder.

Just as he was looking up suspiciously, Ji Ran bumped into Bai Xingchen's eyes, his eyes were looking directly at her, and he bent down slightly, with a sense of oppression.

"Every business has its own secrets, and it's not for us ordinary people to ask, right? ”

"Then you mean, there is indeed a secret here. ”

Ji Ran looked at him without fear, looking at her calm eyes, Bai Xingchen chuckled in his heart, the words that were originally just blurted out for warning, but he didn't expect to be caught immediately by the loophole in the words, and for a while, he suddenly didn't know what to answer.

Before he could think of speaking, Ji Ran used a little strength, brushed off the hand he pressed on his shoulder, patted it with disgust, and the corners of his mouth curved, revealing a row of white teeth.

"If you shouldn't ask, then don't ask. ”

Ji Ran is actually not a person who likes to break into the tiger's den in Longtan, plus Bai Xingchen stared so closely, he knew that he couldn't inquire about life or death here today, so he decided to do his job according to the plan and put a long line to catch big fish.

It's just that he suddenly looked at Bai Xingchen who was stunned and didn't know how to reply, and he felt a little embarrassed.
