232 To Each His Own Mind (2)
Leaning back on the sofa, Bai Xiran smiled at Leng Xinmeng and said, "Miss Leng, you don't think of me as a fool." I know that there was a kidnapping in an abandoned factory in the suburbs last week, and I heard that the police have arrested the culprit. ”
Raising his eyes and glancing at Leng Xinmeng, Bai Xiran hurriedly lowered his eyes when he saw that there was no expression on her face, and said, "It seems that that abandoned factory is the same factory you ordered me to take Gu Duosu to last time." ”
Moving closer to Leng Xinmeng's direction, Bai Xiran deliberately asked, "Does Miss Leng think things are too coincidental?" ”
In the process of listening to Bai Xiran's words, Leng Xinmeng's face had no expression all the time. When he looked at the eyes that he undoubtedly suspected that Gu Duosu was kidnapped by her, Leng Xinmeng turned his head and sighed.
"Can I ask you a question?" Leng Xinmeng stared at the door of the room and asked.
"Okay, please!" Bai Xiran said politely.
Moving his gaze to Bai Xiran's face, Leng Xinmeng's expression became more and more serious.
"Let me ask you, why did I ask you to take Gu Duosu to the suburbs, but you didn't do it?"
Hearing Leng Xinmeng's words, Bai Xiran shrugged his shoulders indifferently and asked, "Why did I do it?" ”
"But we're partners!" Leng Xinmeng's tone sounded a little excited.
"Yes! We're partners, but that doesn't mean I can be used by you. ”
Standing up from the sofa, Bai Xiran walked to the window. Leaning against the window, he supported the wall with both hands, stared at Leng Xinmeng, and said, "Miss Leng, we are just cooperating." I didn't say I'd help you break the law! Of course, I won't say anything about what you do. ”
"You ......"
Leng Xinmeng realized it. Bai Xiran didn't really want to cooperate with her at all.
What does it mean to be 'we are partners, but that doesn't mean I can be used by you'?
Hum! To put it bluntly, Bai Xiran wanted to use himself to help him, and then waited for him to get what he wanted and left.
Is she so stupid as Leng Xinmeng? Willing to give him use?
Feeling that there was nothing left to say to Bai Xiran, Leng Xinmeng got up from the sofa and said to him, "Bai Xiran, I regret it." I don't want to work with you now, you can do it yourself. After that, Leng Xinmeng planned to leave this hotel.
This hellish place that wastes time, she doesn't want to stay for a moment now.
Just as Leng Xinmeng's hand was on the doorknob, about to open the door and leave, Bai Xiran's voice sounded behind her.
"Then what if I find Mo Qianran in the future?"
With her back to Bai Xiran, Leng Xinmeng gritted her teeth hard. Squinting her vicious eyes, she turned her head to look at Bai Xiran and said, "Then stop before you find him." Mo Qianran...... I'll look for it myself. After speaking, Leng Xinmeng slammed the door hard.
Looking at the door of the room that was closed, Bai Xiran put a smile on his face.
Walking to the coffee table, he picked up the cigarette pack on the table, took a cigarette from it, lit it for himself, and returned to the window again.
Leaning against the window, he looked at the rows of high-rise buildings outside with deep and long-term eyes, and whispered to himself meaningfully: "How can you stop?" I finally managed to get some evidence of who killed Ning Suyan! If you stop now...... I'm afraid it's too late! ”
Taking a hard puff of the cigarette between his fingers, Bai Xiran spit out the smoke in his mouth as if he was relieved of the pressure in his heart. But the furrow between his brows revealed that the pressure in his heart was still like a thousand pounds of boulders, overwhelming him.
Bai Xiran doesn't blame anyone, and there is nothing to resent! The life he lives today is all the result of his own fault.
Thinking about the past, if it weren't for the fact that he was young and frivolous and didn't completely take Ning Suchuan to heart, and didn't put all his love on Ning Susaku, how could the tragedy that made him and Ning Susaku live and die?
So, it's all his fault!
Bai Xiran had already figured out that when he handed over all the criminal evidence he had collected to the police, he would return to City C to start over, and he would never come to the city that made him tired again.
Bai Xiran didn't know when his life like this would end, but there was always a voice in his heart telling him that it was almost ......
It's almost over......
Qian Linghan sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at the ceiling tiredly. He always felt that something was missing in this house.
A cosy atmosphere?
Or is there one less person?
It should be both, right?
Since Gu Duosu was no longer in this house, Qian Linghan always felt that his life with Qian Xuemeng had become different from before. Something boring, some quiet, no longer as warm as it used to be, and the laughter that once and so often sounded in the living room is almost gone.
In the past, when he returned home at night, he could always see Gu Duosu sitting at a table full of dishes, and said to him with a smile: "Ling Han, it's time to eat......
But now, when he opened the door, all he saw was a dark, empty living room. Even the breath of Gu Duosu who used to live here, he couldn't smell it.
In the past few days, he often has the illusion that Gu Duosu never seems to have been here.
"I don't know how Gu Duosu is doing now?" Qian Yuling muttered worriedly.
Gu Duosu was forcibly injected with drugs by the kidnappers, this alone is enough to make people worry, but with Xia Yaoyi by her side to take care of her, there shouldn't be anything, right?
Presumably, Gu Duosu will also live a very happy life, right?
After all, she has always loved Xia Yaoyi, hasn't she?
Thinking that maybe now Gu Duosu was lying sweetly in Xia Yaoyi's arms, Qian Linghan felt panicked in his heart.
Just as Qian Linghan was tasting the bitterness in his heart alone, his mobile phone on the coffee table suddenly rang with a text message ringtone.
Subconsciously glanced at the letter on the mobile phone, and when Qian Linghan saw that it was Su Man who sent a text message, he immediately reached out and picked up the mobile phone and clicked on the text message.
[See you at the old place!] Turning off the phone, Qian Linghan leaned back on the back of the sofa again. At this time, footsteps sounded upstairs, and the sound of "popping" slippers wiping the floor reached Qian Linghan's ears from far and near, making him even more irritable.
Standing in the middle of the stairs on the first floor, Qian Xuemeng looked at Qian Linghan who was tired and leaning on the sofa, and couldn't help but show a worried expression.
She didn't know what happened to Qian Linghan.
Since Qian Linghan came back from outside last week, everything in this family has changed.
He began to come home late, and he lost more than half of his words, and even the signature 'smile' that usually hung on his face was barely visible.
However, Qian Xuemeng can also understand Qian Linghan.
Sister Duosu disappeared, this home is empty, and it doesn't look like a place for people to live. Qian Xuemeng is not happy, let alone Qian Linghan, who is busy working outside every day and making money to support her family?
Walking downstairs, Qian Xuemeng came to Qian Linghan and sat down, and called him in a low voice: "Brother......"
Still holding his head high, leaning his head on the sofa, Qian Linghan let out a soft "grace".
Seeing Qian Linghan's tired face, Qian Xuemeng paused before continuing to ask, "Sister Duosu...... Where did it go? ”
Hearing Qian Xuemeng's question, Qian Linghan was stunned for a moment, and then began to be silent.
The living room without the lights was a little dim, and neither of Qian Xuemeng and Qian Linghan spoke, and the whole living room was extremely quiet, as if no one lived there.
Opening her eyes, Qian Yuling looked at the ceiling, which looked a little blackened in the dim light, swallowed, and said, "She's back to where she belongs." ”
Qian Xuemeng listened to the answer Qian Linghan gave her, lowered her head in frustration, and asked again, "Are you back to Xia Yaoyi's side?" ”
Qian Linghan: "......"
Although he didn't want to admit it, after all, Gu Duosu had become a fact with Xia Yaoyi, and he didn't want to deceive himself anymore.
"Probably......" Qian Linghan replied in a low voice.
He had never known that he had never entered Gu Duosu's heart at all, and Gu Duosu had always loved Xia Yaoyi.
No matter how Xia Yaoyi treated her, no matter how many tears Xia Yaoyi made her, Gu Duosu never felt dead because of the harm Xia Yaoyi constantly inflicted on her, and there was always a place for Xia Yaoyi in Gu Duosu's heart.
Qian Xuemeng raised her eyes and looked at Qian Linghan hesitantly, and after sighing lightly, she asked, "Are you willing?" ”
Taking away the hand on his forehead, Qian Linghan turned his head to look at Qian Xuemeng, who was hanging his head very low. After being silent thoughtfully for a while, Qian Linghan sat up straight, gently put his hand on the top of Qian Xuemeng's head and stroked her hair dotingly, and said, "You know what? There are things that don't belong to you, and you don't belong to you. No matter how unwilling you are, it's useless! ”
Not agreeing with Qian Linghan's words, Qian Xuemeng raised her eyes to look at him and asked, "However, if you don't fight for it, how can you know if something belongs to you?" ”
Stopping the hand that was stroking Qianxue's sprouting hair, Qian Linghan glanced at her unwilling eyes and withdrew his hand.
"You have to know that there are some things that you can't fight!"
Looking at Qian Linghan's sad eyes in a daze, Qian Xuemeng said, "Because you don't know if you really want it, right?" ”
When he heard Qian Xuemeng's words, Qian Linghan was stunned, and his shocked expression condensed on his bewitching face.
Qian Xuemeng's words were like a bucket of ice water poured directly on his dazed head, making him wake up suddenly from the unknown.
Not bad! What Qian Xuemeng said is not wrong at all!
When you are unwilling to fight for something, maybe it is just your self-esteem, not because you really want it.
Qian Linghan didn't feel heartache because of Gu Duosu's departure, and he didn't even feel suffocated that life was worse than death. Gu Duosu's departure is completely different from Qiao Keqing's departure.
Three years ago, when Qiao Keqing disappeared, Qian Linghan looked for her everywhere like crazy, and at that time he thought that no matter where Qiao Keqing was or who he ran with, he would definitely try to get her back......
