The black car came to a steady stop on the side of the two.

He Xu's eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly approached in the direction of April, his chin raised slightly, and his eyes locked on the car motionlessly.

The cold blade of the knife pressed against April's neck, and the chill spread inch by inch along her skin, and she could feel the hand holding the knife trembling slightly.

Immediately, the sound of the car door opening came from that side.

Xiao Li was the first to get out of the car, and then Gu Qingyan stepped down from the passenger seat.

He Xu pursed his lips, his eyes were calm and deep, and he continued to wait quietly and patiently.

After a while, Mu Xin pushed the car door and walked down, his eyes swept over April, and then he met He Xu's gaze.

Neither of the two spoke to each other first, but Xiao Li cautiously approached in the direction of Hexu, and said calmly: "I have already brought the person you are looking for, can you release April now?" ”

"I'm sorry." He Xu glanced at April in his hand and replied to him: "I still need to take up a little bit of her time now." ”

Gu Qingyan has been staring at April since she got out of the car, still with that wooden and dull expression, perhaps because she has not eaten and slept well in the past few days, her face is faintly haggard.

Moreover, the gaze she looked at him was no different from looking at Xiao Li.

He quietly withdrew his gaze, turned to look at He Xu, and said in a cold voice: "We didn't call the police, you don't need to be so wary of us." ”

He Xu listened and chuckled, "You guys leave first, leave Mu Xin behind." As he spoke, he lifted his chin and pointed to the jungle opposite.

Gu Qingyan hesitated a little, and glanced at April again, this time, perhaps to appease him, April showed him a faint smile.

He felt a little relieved and said to Xiao Li: "Let's go first." ”

Xiao Li looked at April's direction with a heavy face, and exhaled, "Okay." ”

The two left in the direction He Xu pointed, April staring silently at their backs until her eyes were a little sour, and she came back to her senses.

It's not that she's not afraid, it's just that her reflex arc has always been slower than ordinary people, not to mention, even if she is afraid, there is no way.

Now there are only three people left: April, He Xu and Mu Xin.

He Xu put away the knife in his hand, and when he turned around, he found that Mu Xin was still standing in the same place.

After many years, the two finally met again.

He Xu kicked the mud under his feet and wanted to walk towards Mu Xin, but for some reason, he couldn't take a step.

He found that Mu Xin's eyes had changed when he looked at him, and he had lost his previous love and desire, like a pool of stagnant water, unable to shine anyone's shadow.

Suddenly, he didn't dare to make eye contact with Mu Xin's eyes.

You must know that he has always been bullish in front of Mu Xin before, He Xu felt that he had changed a lot, so he pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed at himself.

Then, he tilted his head and habitually showed a ruffian's evil smile, "Hey, little bean sprouts, have you missed me for so many years?" ”

***

On the other end, Gu Qingyan leaned against the stump, his eyes always looking in the direction of April.

The dense foliage and intertwined trees blocked his vision, and he withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, and Xiao Li's slightly worried words reached his ears.

"What do you think will be bad for April, he is such a cunning person, will he really obediently go back with us and turn himself in?"

Gu Qingyan didn't reply, and after being silent for a moment, he asked, "Is there any smoke?" "He really wants to smoke now.

"Rub, you still have the heart to smoke." Xiao Li shook his head, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him.

The man took the cigarette and looked at Xiao Li lightly, who sighed again and lit the cigarette for him himself.

Because he didn't know what the situation was over there, Xiao Li looked a little bored, so he simply scooped a cigarette and lit it.

In the quiet and silent atmosphere, there was only the rustle of the leaves blown by the wind.

Xiao Li blew his nose, and somehow, suddenly said, "Qingyan, after rescuing April, what are you going to do with her?" ”

Gu Qingyan was silent for a few seconds, "She has nothing to do with me. ”

"Really?" Xiao Li didn't believe it.

The man didn't look at him either, with an inquiring look in his eyes.

When the cigarette butt was about to burn his fingers, he threw the cigarette butt away and stepped on the spark heavily. He lifted his leg with great force, as if he were struggling with something, and only when the mud on that side became a small pit did he exhale heavily.

Xiao Li glanced at the pit under the man's feet, raised his eyebrows and said, "What were you doing just now?" ”

Gu Qingyan still didn't answer, and Xiao Li didn't say much.

April was in the woods opposite them, and they couldn't figure out what the purpose was, and both of them were a little heavy.

"I'll go take a look." Gu Qingyan couldn't wait.

"I'll go with you." Xiao Li pulled the zipper of his clothes to the top.

Although in such a short period of time, He Xu couldn't run at all, but they couldn't see April, and they obviously couldn't rest assured.

Just as he was about to take a step, a gunshot suddenly rang out out of thin air. The birds were frightened and fluttered their wings and flew wildly.

The direction of the sound came from April.

Xiao Li was a little stunned, and as soon as his footsteps stopped, Gu Qingyan beside him had already rushed forward as fast as an arrow. He felt his heart beating faster and faster, and his limbs seemed to be his own, just running forward desperately.

When he was a student, he only had Xia Bai in his eyes, and he thought that he had never noticed Lin April, but did he really not notice?

He remembered the look of indifference and sarcasm in his black pupils when April was besieged.

also watched the smugness and viciousness hidden in her eyes when she did bad things.

But Lin April, who he thought was dark in his heart, handed him an umbrella on the rainy night when he was abandoned by Xia Bai.

Over the years, he kept recalling the smile that Lin April left him when he pushed Shen Yanjin down the stairs. He speculated on the meaning behind her smile, but no one could give him an answer.

As a result, there will be entanglements after ten years, and I will perseveringly ask her for an answer.

He thought he only wanted an answer, but at this moment, he suddenly realized what he was avoiding exactly.

Why do you want to know the reason why Lin April pushed Shen Yanjin downstairs? Whatever her purpose was, it had nothing to do with him, did it?

Xia Bai, Xiao Li, and Su Zi had all asked him the same question, and he thought, he finally knew the answer now.

I just hope it's still too late.

Xiao Li bent down, his hands on his knees, panting heavily.

Sweat slid down his forehead, he reached out and wiped his forehead, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, straightened up and continued walking.

As I stepped over a wooden stake, the scene opened up.

He, in April, Mu Xin had a lot, but there was an extra batch of punishments. Alarm.

He Xu put the knife against April's neck again, and the rope on April's body had been untied, and He Xu's throat was restrained from behind.

"Who the hell called the police?" Squeezed out of his teeth word by word, Gu Qingyan froze in place, the wind came from all directions, pouring into his body, cold and thorough.

"It's me."

A male voice came from behind him, and the man stiffly turned his neck to look there, only to find that Qi Sheng, who was supposed to be in City C, appeared here.

Mu Xin's eyes flashed violently in an instant, and he glared at Qi Sheng with an almost incredible gaze.

She wanted to ask him why, but suddenly she found herself speechless.

She was very close to Hexu, only an arm's length away, but in such a short distance, she could never reach him.

He Xu was not surprised when he saw Qi Sheng's appearance, but a trace of regret appeared in his eyes.

"Little bean sprouts, can you get closer to me, I have something to ask you." He Xu ignored Qi Sheng's existence and looked at Mu Xin with a sinister look.

Without waiting for Mu Xin to speak, Qi Sheng's restrained and deep voice sounded again: "Mu Xin, come here, come to me." ”

Although He Xu's knife was clamped on April's neck, the force to hold her hostage was not great, and April's neck was not uncomfortable.

Qi Sheng's sudden appearance reversed the current form, and He Xu became a passive party.

Gu Qingyan almost immediately stabbed his gaze, lowered his voice and shouted at Qi Sheng, "Lin April is in his hands. ”

"So what?" The aura on Qi Sheng's body dissipated, and the whole person was like a sword with a sharp edge, and the momentum was fierce.

The man clasped his hands and looked at Qi Sheng like a dead man, "If something happens to Lin April, I want you to bury her." ”

Qi Sheng was noncommittal when he heard this, just waiting for Mu Xin to make a choice.

Mu Xin glanced at Qi Sheng lightly, took three steps in his direction, and paused.

"Little bean sprouts." He Xu's voice is very good, obviously it is a cheesy nickname, but he pronounces it low and tactful, as if he is talking about love.

She suddenly closed her eyes, and her footsteps turned, quickly approaching He Xu.

There is no distance between the two of them at all.

Xiao Li saw He Xu's mouth open and close, and said a word in Mu Xin's ear, but the distance was far away and the voice was low, and no one knew what he said.

Including April.

She didn't hear what He Xu said to Mu Xin, but Mu Xin's voice was clearly poured into her ears.

"He, you've lied to me so much that I can't tell if you're telling the truth or not."

He Xu smiled lightly and replied, "You just need to listen to my words in reverse." ”

He raised his eyes and glanced at Qi Sheng in the distance slightly defiantly, and then suddenly threw the knife in his hand on the ground and put his hands to his ears.

"What?" Mu Xin muttered his name.

The criminal policeman had a gun in his hand and quickly approached He Xu.

He Xu didn't smile, "Little bean sprouts, goodbye." ”

Behind him was a cliff, but the man retreated step by step, and at that moment, everything around him was blurred, and Mu Xin only had him in his eyes.

In a trance, she heard the young He Xu say in her ear: "I like two things the most, one is freedom, and the other is you." Those memories flashed through her mind.

"Nope." She shook her head, trying in vain to pull Ho's hand, and April, who was closest, also subconsciously reached out.

He Xu looked at Mu Xin with a smile, put his index finger to his mouth, and gave her a flying kiss.

The moment the man's body was in the air, Mu Xin still wanted to pull her, but April turned around and hugged her tightly.

The next moment, she only felt a warmth behind her, and Gu Qingyan had already come behind her.

Qi Sheng took a step slower, and then dragged Mu Xin back, he still had lingering palpitations about the dangerous situation just now. Almost, almost she was going to fall.

"It's okay, it's okay." He took Mu Xin in his arms and reached out to caress the back of her head.

Mu Xin's voice was hoarse: "Why do you want to call the police." This sentence is not so much a question as a desperate murmur. Qi Sheng didn't answer her, just hugged her with all his strength.

When April looked sideways, he suddenly had a feeling that the soul of this woman named Mu Xin had also fallen from the cliff with He Xu.

***

April got into Xiao Li's car and went back with them.

Xiao Li drove the car to the door of the detective agency, and then tilted his head to look at April, "What are your plans now?" ”

"I'm going back to Z City."

Xiao Li heard about April from Xia Bai's mouth, and he was a little puzzled, didn't he say that April was going to marry Li Yu, why did he have to leave now?

He didn't ask why, only asked, "When are you leaving?" ”

"In two days." Because there is still something to take away, April gives an approximate time.

Gu Qingyan never spoke, Xiao Li glanced at him, and then said to April: "Tell me when you leave, I'll send you off." ”

"Thank you." April smiled at him.

The three of them got out of the car, Xiao Li still had a job, and after saying goodbye to April, they hurried into the detective agency.

April's suitcase was brought out of the cabin in the mountains, and at this time she held the suitcase in her right hand, bowed her head and said, "Thank you really for today." ”

She didn't expect him to come to her rescue.

Gu Qingyan lowered his eyes and looked down at her, this time, he looked at her instead.

Seeing that the other party didn't mean to speak, April pursed his lips, "Then, I'll go first." ”

"Wait."

The woman looked up at him, patiently waiting for him to continue speaking.

Maybe it was because he understood his heart, Gu Qingyan faced April, and suddenly with a hint of crampedness that he didn't notice, "Where are you going, I can drive you there." ”

April was stunned, then shook his head and said, "Thank you, I'll just take the bus by myself." ”

Seeing her stunned appearance, Gu Qingyan was a little annoyed, "You don't have to be polite to me." ”

April was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the other party's attitude had changed.

Gu Qingyan directly snatched the suitcase in her hand, stuffed it into the trunk, then opened the car door, and looked sideways at April, who was standing.

His side face is better looking than the front face, with a well-defined silhouette, like a few sketches on paper, "Let's go." ”

Because the suitcase was in the car, April had to walk up slowly. A secret smile flashed in Gu Qingyan's eyes, and when April approached, he gently pushed her into the car.

April reported the address to him, the man nodded casually, and the two were speechless.

Gu Qingyan looked at her from the rearview mirror many times, but April's eyes kept looking out the window and didn't notice his gaze.

When did he become so cautious? Thinking so, he withdrew his gaze again, his eyes staring straight ahead, his expression stern and serious.

Halfway through the car, April's cell phone rang, and she picked it up after a moment's hesitation.

"Hello?" Afraid of affecting the man's driving, she stretched out her left hand to cover her mouth, and her voice was very low.

Gu Qingyan quietly slowed down the car and listened with his ears propped up.

"Well, I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

"I have a place to live, don't help me find a place to live."

April's voice was a little restrained, obviously not knowing how to talk to the person on the phone.

The man glanced at her distractedly, his eyes sank, and he suddenly changed his mind and turned the car to drive in the opposite direction.

April was talking on the phone, and she didn't find anything abnormal, and she didn't say a few words on the phone for a short time, obviously listening to the person on the other end.

Gu Qingyan didn't feel good when she heard it, and couldn't help but ask, "Who?" ”

April glanced at him with his mobile phone, and whispered into the phone: "Li Yu, if it's okay, I'll hang up first." ”

After hanging up the phone in a hurry, she whispered back: "My boyfriend." She thought that Gu Qingyan didn't know about her breakup with Li Yu.

It's obviously an ex-boyfriend. Gu Qingyan muttered in her heart, but she was silent on the surface, still concentrating on driving.

By the time April realized that the route was wrong, he was already halfway there. She thought that the man was driving in the wrong direction, and hesitated for a while before saying, "That, this is not the direction to my house." ”

Who knew that Gu Qingyan nodded without hesitation, "Yes, this is the direction to my house." ”

April was dumbfounded, wondering why he was taking her to his house.

She opened her mouth several times to ask him why, but somehow she didn't ask. Gu Qingyan had been observing her from the corner of his eye, and when he saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, the corners of his lips hooked, and he said unhurriedly: "Lin April, you promised me before that you would do one thing for me, I don't know if you make this promise, do you still make it?" ”
