74. Chapter 74

Gu Qingyan quickly rushed back to S City with Mu Xin.

Perhaps due to lack of sleep, his face was extremely pale, and his eyelashes swept slightly, leaving a blue mark on the bottom of his eyes.

Seeing this, Mu Xin took out a piece of chocolate from the beige bag he was carrying, "Here, eat a piece of chocolate." ”

The man was stunned, twisted his neck, and looked fixedly at her outstretched hand.

He doesn't like to eat chocolate, but his spirit is really bad at this time, so he didn't refuse, "Thank you." He reached out and took the piece of chocolate, tore open the package and put it in his mouth, and in an instant, a rich and silky taste came from the tip of his tongue.

The car drove to the door of Xiao Li's detective agency, because he had called Xiao Li in advance, and he was seen at the door from a distance.

After the two got out of the car, Xiao Li walked to Gu Qingyan's side in three steps and two steps, "You can be counted as back." After complaining, he paused, and looked at Mu Xin with curious and inquiring eyes.

Receiving his gaze, Mu Xin greeted him generously: "Hello, my name is Mu Xin." ”

"Hello, Xiao Li."

He didn't know how to describe this woman, she didn't look very good, but her temperament was too clean, but it made people unbearable to blaspheme.

It's hard to imagine that such a woman would be involved with that evil temperament.

Xiao Li turned his head to look at Gu Qingyan, raised his eyebrows, and conveyed what he wanted to express with his eyes. Gu Qingyan understood, shook his head at him, and Xiao Li's face instantly drooped.

Please, I brought people here without saying anything, isn't that tantamount to deception?

Xiao Li stretched out his finger and pointed to the room, "Let's go in first." ”

The three of them came to Xiao Li's office, the assistant brought them three cups of coffee, and Mu Xin politely said thank you.

Mu Xin held the cup and took a sip of coffee with elegant movements. Her hands were very good-looking, white and slender, but the fingertips were a little rough and there were some small wounds.

Her demeanor is very good, whether it is sitting or manners, it is impeccable, and she looks like a very cultured woman. She can't find any shortcomings in her facial features, but she can only be regarded as a mediocre, and she is barely a good-looking beauty when combined, but her temperament is too catchy, so Xiao Li can't help but look at it twice.

Gu Qingyan's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he stared at Xiao Li coldly, the latter came back to his senses, cleared his throat, and returned to the topic: "Hello Mu Xin, there are some things I have to make clear to you in advance. ”

Hearing his solemn tone, Mu Xin's eyelashes trembled slightly, put down the cup in his hand, and nodded, "Okay, you say." ”

The tone is gentle and calm, and the focus of the roll call should be a very assertive person.

Xiao Li's impression of her was a little better, he glanced at someone with an alienated temperament on the side, and considered the vocabulary: "That's the case, He Xu's current identity is a little special, you should pay attention to safety when you meet him." ”

Safe? Mu Xin was silent, her fingertips slightly rubbing a button on her cuffs, "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

Xiao Li guessed her relationship with He Xu, and vaguely felt that the relationship between the two of them was not simple.

Couple? Relatives? If you ask directly, it will inevitably be a little abrupt, and it will also offend someone else's **.

As if guessing his hesitation, Mu Xin explained lightly: "I used to be neighbors with He Xu. ”

Xiao Li didn't believe it, if it was really that simple, why would such a person be willing to exchange his freedom with him, just to meet Mu Xin?

Gu Qingyan was a little impatient, and directly interjected: "Miss Mu, I'm sorry, there are some things I didn't make clear to you before. Seeing Mu Xin raise his eyes to look at him, with a gesture of quiet listening, he paused and continued: "My friend has been kidnapped by He Xu, his request is to see you, I need your help." ”

The atmosphere was suddenly a little quiet.

Mu Xin lowered her head and stared at the coffee in her hand in silence.

Gu Qingyan and Xiao Li were both waiting for her answer, especially the former, although there was no expression on his face, there was a faint flash of anxiety between his deep eyebrows.

"He Xu has been on the road of crime all these years, I hope you can actively cooperate with us and persuade him to turn himself in, so that he can reduce his sentence." Xiao Li intuitively felt that there should be some bond between the two, even if Mu Xin had not shown anything abnormal until now.

At this moment, Xiao Li's mobile phone rang. He scooped up his phone and looked at it, and it was no surprise that he was calling.

In front of Mu Xin, he directly turned on the hands-free, "Hey? ”

"Did you find the person I wanted?"

Xiao Li raised his eyes to look at Mu Xin, and found that the other party had already raised his head, and there was no emotion in his clear eyes.

"Well, she's by my side right now." Xiao Li said to He Xu on the phone.

He Xu didn't speak, and after a long time, he said in a dumb voice: "Give her the phone, I want to listen to her voice." ”

Xiao Li walked up to Mu Xin and handed her the mobile phone in his hand.

Mu Xin stared at the phone screen in a daze, her right hand curled up slightly, and she let out a light breath after a stalemate for a while.

She took the phone, turned off the hands-free button directly, and then put the phone to her ear.

Sensing her move, Gu Qing's eyes turned dark, and he ignored Xiao Li and did not speak.

"What?" Mu Xin called out his name softly, his lips slightly opened, "It's me." ”

Gu Qingyan didn't deliberately walk to Mu Xin's side, he didn't know what He Xu said to Mu Xin on the phone, but he sensitively noticed that Mu Xin's right hand holding the phone was trembling. Come to think of it, Mu Xin's heart should not be as calm as she seems on the outside.

Perhaps, that's another story.

His heart is now full of Lin April's shadow, and he has even begun to imagine what language he should use to sarcastically mock Lin April when he sees her when the time comes.

At that time, Mu Xin seemed to hold his feelings steadily, and said lightly to He Xu on the phone: "Well, let's talk about it when we meet." ”

After saying this, she turned around and handed the phone back to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li was about to pick up the phone, Gu Qingyan suddenly reached out and snatched the phone, and walked away a few steps, "I want to listen to Lin April's voice." ”

On this side, He Xu heard Gu Qingyan's request, and glanced at April a little absentmindedly.

"When you bring Mu Xin to me, I will let Lin April talk to you."

Before the voice fell, he hung up the phone directly and threw the phone on the table.

April shrank in the corner, taking He Xu's expression into her eyes, she didn't know who He Xu was talking to on the phone just now, her eyebrows and eyes, which had always been full of evil, suddenly softened, and her eyes flickered, as if a meteor was shining.

This was the first time she had seen He Xu show such an expression in the few meetings she had.

He didn't even speak, just put his phone close to his ear, as if listening to the other person's breathing. Before he hung up the phone, he said something in a slight hurry, because his voice was so low that April didn't hear it clearly.

He Xu sorted out his feelings in the same place, and then picked up the phone again, lowered his head, and his long and straight eyelashes left a dark shadow under his eyes. After sending a text message to Xiao Li, he put down his phone and picked up the stack of old newspapers, browsing the old news in the newspaper attentively and carefully.

From this perspective in April, I saw that these newspapers were all entertainment tabloids, and I didn't know what I was reading, and I was so fascinated by it.

And Xiao Li's side, since receiving the text message from He Xu, they began to arrange for He Xu to meet Mu Xin.

He Xu was obviously anxious to see Mu Xin, and the time on the text message was nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Although He Xu can't be called a vicious person, but he does something in private, and it's hard to say whether he will tear up the ticket.

Gu Qingyan was afraid that He Xu would change his mind, so he asked Xiao Li not to call the police.

When Mu Xin set off for the agreed place, she also specially asked them if they had called the police, and after receiving a negative answer, she seemed to be relieved.

He Xu did not say on the phone that he would not let Xiao Li and them follow, but that Gu Qingyan and Xiao Li decided to set off together. Originally, Gu Qingyan planned to bring some people, but this mention was rejected by Mu Xin.

She looked skinny and small, but she said that if they were going to bring people, she wouldn't go. For this reason, Gu Qingyan didn't blink her brows, and directly followed her advice

Early the next morning, He Xu carefully tied April's hands and feet before taking her out the door.

The morning sun was not dazzling, but the room in April was dimly lit, and the sudden exposure to sunlight made her a little unaccustomed for a while.

Her hand was pulled at a pause, and April came back to her senses to find He Xu standing in front of her, the rope in her hand winding up and connecting her wrists.

"What are you doing?" He Xu tugged at the corners of his mouth and provoked an evil smile: "You'd better not let the attempt escape for a while, otherwise I don't dare to guarantee that I will send you to Xiao Li's hands safely." ”

He smiled, but behind the words was a cold threat.

April didn't dare to stay long, and followed behind He Xu, avoiding the stones and bushes on the ground with great difficulty.

It was only when she came out that she found out that He Xu had taken her to the mountains, and that they had been staying in a small cabin all these days.

She didn't know where He was going to take her, but he made several phone calls in Cantonese, and April didn't understand a word.

After about a quarter of an hour, Ho Xu took her to a clearing on the top of the hill, and tied the other end of the rope to a stump.

After doing this, he leaned against another tree, pulled out a cigarette and put it to his mouth, and took the lighter out of his trouser pocket. Somehow, his hands were shaking, and the flame was always against the cigarette butt. Sensing that April was looking at him, he paused for a moment in his hand, and then lit the cigarette steadily.

In the fog, he tossed the silver lighter in his hand up and down, and after three rounds, he held the lighter and looked sideways towards April.

With the cigarette butt shaking slightly, he asked, "You say, if I throw this lighter off the cliff, will it fall to pieces?" ”

April didn't know what he meant by asking, and after a moment of silence, he said uncertainly, "It should be." ”

One of them was a kidnapper and the other was a hostage, and they were able to talk calmly.

He Xu flicked the cigarette butt, put his thumb and index finger together, brought the cigarette to his mouth, took a deep breath, threw half of the cigarette butt on the ground, and extinguished it with his shoe.

Then, he took a step abruptly and made a toss with his right hand facing back.

April only felt a flash of silver light in front of him, and the next moment, the crisp sound of a lighter hitting the rock wall was heard, and then it fell silent again.

He Xu clapped his hands, and when he was about to walk towards April, he faintly heard the sound of a car engine in his ears.
