In the narrow room, white manuscript paper is scattered everywhere, there is a low wooden coffee table and a soft cushion next to the coffee table, a dim lamp falls on the roof, and the coffee table is placed with a designer's special paintbrush.

The house smelled of old decay, and in the corner of the wall was a roll of thumb-thick hemp rope, and there was a rag there, and when Zhang Xingchen and I arrived, the room was empty.

The man guarding the door who was knocked down by Zhang Xingchen said that Lu Xiaochao was locked up here these days, there was a hole in the wooden door, and the people outside were using it to monitor Lu Xiaochao, and most of the time he was forced to sit in front of the coffee table and draw drawings, and sometimes, when the guards were tired, Lu Xiaochao was tied to the corner by the hemp rope.

Zhang Xingchen's face changed suddenly after seeing the situation in the house.

The pencil sharpener that sharpened the pencil was dismantled by Lu Xiaochao, and she took advantage of the time when the guards went to eat, cut the rope, and escaped.

The screws that fixed the lock bolt on the door were also loosened from the door, and the wooden door was old, but seeing that the bolt was broken like that, I could also guess that Lu Xiaochao was so scared that he would desperately flee from here like this.

Seeing that the bolt on the door was also loosened, Zhang Xingchen's calmness completely collapsed, he turned around and grabbed my collar and trapped my neck, his eyes were also red, and he asked me in a dumb voice: "How do you know that Lu Xiaochao is here, you know that she is here but you have been letting it go?" ”

"Why don't you want to, I'm also an accomplice?" I sneered defiantly.

Zhang Xingchen half-narrowed his eyes at me, the force in his hand increased, and his gaze became gloomy: "It's you?" ”

The man who had been lying on the ground as a janitor took advantage of the argument between me and Zhang Xingchen, and immediately got up, picked up the golf club on the ground that I had just brought down from the car, and hit Zhang Xingchen on the back of the head.

I watched as that person attacked Zhang Xingchen, but I didn't make a sound warning. Zhang Xingchen took that blow and finally let go of me,

I took a few steps backwards, leaned against the wall and exhaled, seeing that the man was holding the club and rushing towards me again, Zhang Xingchen stretched out his legs. Knock the man to the ground.

I stepped forward and grabbed the club and knocked the guy out with a shot.

"Why help me?" I asked Zhang Xingchen.

Zhang Xingchen didn't speak, he stood up with his hands supporting himself, and his hands were on the manuscript paper on the ground, and I realized that there was blood on his hands, and the paper was also stuck to his hands.

"You're bleeding?" I went over to examine his injuries and found that he had a cut in his head. The blood is still pouring out.

Zhang Xingchen didn't care about this, he kept staring at the manuscript paper that was stuck in his hand, I leaned over and saw Zhang Xingchen's name written all over the paper.

Only then did I notice that almost all of the manuscript papers scattered on the ground had Zhang Xingchen's name written in pencil, and the handwriting was not neat and the stroke order was not smooth. It seems that Lu Xiaochao intends to use all his strength. Just to write the name of Zhang Xingchen.

"She just ran away, and it was in trouble for them to catch up." I reminded Zhang Xingchen.

Zhang Xingchen folded the manuscript paper in his hand, put it in his pocket, and ran out without hesitation.

The person who chased him out drove away and has not returned yet. Lu Xiaochao should not have been found yet.

Zhang Xingchen and I drove around twice, but we didn't find any trace of Lu Xiaochao.

It is located in the countryside, with a spacious yellow mud road and rice paddies in front of the small wooden house, and a forest in the back. Zhang Xingchen said to get out of the car and look for it on the mountain.

"She managed to escape, and she will definitely go to someone for help." I disagreed with his mention and insisted on going to the village to find someone.

"Then you go to the village, I'll go to the mountains." Zhang Xingchen said, and the car opened the door and got out of the car before it stopped steadily.

I didn't have a rut, I got out of the car, Zhang Xingchen took the mobile phone and turned on the light in front, and I followed behind.

"She doesn't have crutches, she can't go to the village, there are trees on the mountain, and she may be able to walk farther." Zhang Xingchen said in front that the blood on his wound seemed to have stopped, but the blood stains on the white sweater still looked a little scary.

"She's so strong, I've never seen her ask for help since I met her, I think, she ......" Zhang Xingchen said thoughtfully, and suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Xingchen stopped, squatted down in front, and then ran up the mountain like a madman.

I chased after him and saw that where he had stopped was a pool of blood, with a little brown stain of blood. Looking up, Lu Xiaochao seemed to slide down for a short distance, those shrubs and dead grass were collapsing in one direction, and not far from the pool of blood, there was a navy blue cloth hanging on a thorn, which was probably on Lu Xiaochao's skirt.

This should be the bloodstain left by Lu Xiaochao, right? Is she hurt?

The night in the mountains is extremely cold, I can't help but shiver, I remember, when Lu Xiaochao left the hospital, it seemed that she was only wearing a sweater jacket, she had been in the mountains for so long, and she was injured again, and she didn't know what had become of her.

I was about to go up, but I saw a few bright lights shining under the mountain in the distance.

Thinking that maybe the people from the cabin had come to me, I immediately turned off my phone's flashlight and walked forward in the faint light of the moon.

"Zhang Xingchen?" I lowered my voice and called.

After walking for a while, the light behind me was gone, and I couldn't find my way away.

"Zhang Xingchen?" I tried to lower my voice and shout a few more times.

There was a squirting sound behind me, and before I could react, I passed out with a dull pain in the back of my head.

When I woke up again, the person standing in front of me turned out to be Ru Yu.

Of course, not far from Ru Yu, there was another person sitting in the room, Ru Lang.

"Awake?" Ru Lang's voice is still so strong and powerful.

I reached out and touched the back of my head, and the pain was still there.

"Where am I?" I sat up and saw Ru Yu looking at me with a worried expression, and my stomach churned and retched twice.

"You're at my house, my personal doctor has already shown you your injuries, it's fine, it's fine after a few days of rest." Ru Lang said, standing up.

"How could I be at your house? I'm not in the mountains? I secretly wondered, thinking of Lu Xiaochao and Zhang Xingchen, I couldn't help but sink in my heart.

"What? The two of them left you on the mountain, are you still worried about them? Ru Yu asked with a sneer.

About the same as my expression changed, Ru Yu got up from the couch, took a puff of his cigar, smoke came out of his nostrils, and said, "They left in your car, and my people found you and brought you back." ”

I pondered for a moment, then asked, "You mean, both of them are back?" Are they all safe? ”

"It's back but it's back, it's not safe, it's not good." Ru Lang snorted.

I rolled over and got out of bed, my brain was still dizzy, I stood for a while, Ru Yu hurriedly came over to help me, and said softly: "The doctor said that you have a slight concussion, you quickly lie back and rest." ”

I withdrew my hand from hers, oblivious to her courtesy.

"Lu Xiaochao shouldn't have drawn what you wanted, you are so leisurely, the problem of funds has been solved, right?" I asked Ru Lang.

Ru Lang spat out another puff of smoke, then pulled the corners of his lips and said: "It doesn't matter if there are drawings or not, giving Lu Xiaochao a lesson is what I want, and I have to thank you for the problem of funds." ”

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Your sister is thinking of a little old love, you are in my hands again, she didn't say a word, she pleaded in front of Danqi, and the bank has approved the money." Ru Lang said, the smile on his face disappeared, the expression on his face was cruel and indifferent, he snuffed out the remaining cigar in the ashtray in his hand, and said in a gloomy voice: "But I won't be at the mercy of them like this, you look at it, Danqi, this kid, and Lu Xiaochao, I won't let go of any of them." ”

As he spoke, he turned to me with a smile again, slanted the corners of his mouth and said, "It's rare, we have a common enemy, right?" ”

"Danqi snatched your beloved Long Shuyi, and Lu Xiaochao, betrayed you and your company for Zhang Xingchen, I never knew that in addition to becoming a son-in-law, we can also be business partners."

I smiled, and walked straight in front of Ru Lang and out of the room.

I went downstairs, and Ru Yu followed.

"I'll drive you." Ru Yu caught up and said.

I didn't refuse, and smiled and agreed: "Okay! ”

Ru Yu looked flattered, although she tried hard to hide, the smile in the corner of her eyes still did not escape my eyes, I don't know why, since I knew that Long Shuyi was designed by Ru Yu, every time I saw Ru Yu, I always felt a feeling of nausea in my heart.

Ru Yu picked up the car and parked at the gate of their house to wait for me, I got into the car, fastened my seat belt, and she started the car.

From beginning to end, Ru Lang stood on the balcony on the second floor and watched loudly.

After the car left Ru Lang's sight, Ru Yu asked me: "You don't hate my father very much, why would you come up with ideas for him to solve the problem of funds?" ”

"Who said I came up with the idea to solve the problem for him?" I retorted with a laugh.

"And what do you mean?"

"I came up with the idea to create a problem." I smiled and said, "Lu Xiaochao's hand can't draw the artwork, how can your father take the artwork to Qiu Yuyao to get money?" ”

The smile on Ru Yu's face finally disappeared, and she stared at me and asked, "But didn't you say that Lu Xiaochao's hand is good?" Why do you ......?"

"Look ahead and concentrate on driving." I reminded.

The car drove onto the highway, and I didn't answer Ru Yu's question, but just asked her, "Where is Lu Xiaochao?" Hospital, right? Send me there. ”

"What the hell do you want to do? Don't you like Lu Xiaochao? Why did you do that to her? Do you know how miserable she was in those days? Lin Yue, what kind of person are you? Ru asked a series of questions.

"Yes, I like her, yes." I replied.

Ru Yu looked at me again, her brows furrowed, her face confused.

My mood suddenly lightened. (To be continued......)
