Cao Ruxue was pushed into the villa, and the first thing that caught her eye was a dark passage, and she vaguely saw a faint dim yellow light in the living room inside, and vaguely heard the voices of someone inside.

And the man's voice was familiar to her, and in an instant, a huge fear engulfed her like a tide.

She felt a slight tingling in the muscles of her body, every inch of her skin, because of fear, because of the imminent, almost predictable pain and despair.

Cao Ruxue subconsciously covered her chest, which seemed to be filled with boulders, stagnation and sourness, and her breathing became cramped.

Her steps slowed down, and the people behind her pushed her violently, and she staggered, but fortunately she held on to the stone wall beside her, otherwise she would have been planted directly on the ground.

Two seconds later, she had already been ushered into the living room, and on the expensive green leather sofa sat the slender body of a man, needless to say that the person was her half-brother Shi Zhaoting.

She shuddered and didn't dare to look up: "Brother, I'm here." ”

Shi Zhaoting was whispering to lawyer Gao Yang about Xu Zhiyuan's lawsuit, when he heard Cao Ruxue's voice at first glance, he raised his hand and waved, Gao Yang immediately understood, and left the villa with a slight bow.

After Gao Yang left, the other subordinates also left one after another, and only Cao Ruxue and Shi Zhaoting were left in the huge living room.

Cao Ruxue unconsciously tightened her clothes, and when she saw this, Shi Zhaoting sat on the sofa and chuckled, her voice was gloomy but pleasant, making people's hearts shrink involuntarily.

Shi Zhaoting stared at her, slowly smiled, got up and stretched out his long straight legs, walked a few steps away from Cao Ruxue, and seemed to look at her with interest.

Then he looked at his watch and said, "My dear sister, has it taken you too long to come to this villa from the city?" ”

She pursed her lips, still not daring to look up: "...... There was some traffic jam on the road. ”

Shi Zhaoting narrowed his long, feminine eyes, and asked again after a few seconds: "What about the things I explained to you, how did you do it?" ”

"Well, the second uncle said that as long as my parents agree, I will be allowed to enter the Cao family for internship."

After Cao Ruxue finished speaking, she took out something from her bag, it was a voice recorder with an extremely delicate and small design, she handed the voice recorder to Shi Zhaoting, and said, "There is also this, return it to you." ”

Shi Zhaoting took the recorder with satisfaction, hooked his lips and said, "Very good, I knew that you would not let me down." After a slight pause, he said: "But you can keep this thing for the time being, and there will be a time when it can be used later." ”

Cao Ruxue frowned, but didn't take it back for the first time, Shi Zhaoting felt her strangeness, so he raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "What, is there any problem?" ”

Pursing her lips, she said, "Brother, do you really think that the second uncle will not doubt me?" And Rong Ye, he's not as easy to deal with as you think...... I think it's better for you not to mess with him. ”

Shi Zhaoting smiled suddenly, Cao Ruxue's words reminded him of the bidding case during the day, Zhaofeng lost badly, and the entire company spent months of hard work in flames.

This is a shame for Shi Zhaoting, who has always been conceited, and he will never admit that he is inferior to Rong Ye.

He tensed his jaw, and his jawbone was bitten very obviously, Cao Ruxue heard him bite out these words almost from between his teeth: "Cao Ruxue, you remember it clearly for me, how the opponent is, I will make my own judgment, and it is not your turn to judge!" ”

Her heart tightened, and she quickly said, "I, I'm just worried about you...... Brother. With that, she immediately took the recorder from his hand and quickly put it back in her pocket.

That timid "brother" made Shi Zhaoting's face soften slightly, but at the same time, another familiar and frightened expression appeared on his face.

"Heh......" He was laughing, smiling elegantly, and the eyes that had been angry had become clear at some point, but they were hollow and cold to the point of creeping.

Cao Ruxue subconsciously took a step back and said, "I'll put away the recorder, so ...... I'm gone, don't disturb your rest. ”

However, her wrist tightened, and the man's ghostly voice came from behind her: "Where are you going, my dear sister?" There are no taxis to take here. You look at my villa, there are many rooms, there is no problem in staying for your stay. ”

"Well, I'd better go back to the hotel, I'll go to Cao's tomorrow morning to report." Cao Ruxue struggled, but she couldn't break free from Shi Zhaoting's shackles.

"I let you stay, and you dare to go?" He said in a deep voice, his expression was calm, but his tone was extremely cold, which made Cao Ruxue's heart shrink suddenly.

Shi Zhaoting's temperament has always been uncertain, he was still laughing one second, and the next second he was likely to change, as his half-sister, Cao Ruxue knew his temperament very well, whether he was laughing or angry, as long as it was such a gloomy and cold tone as now, it was really a precursor to his rage.

She closed her eyes in resignation and said, "Okay, I'll stay, but I'll have to leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Shi Zhaoting's face finally showed a happy smile, and his eyes staring at her became more and more gloomy: "Okay, I will send someone to send you back, and I will never let you be late." ”

========

The city of clouds in the night is completely different from the suburbs, there are neon phantoms everywhere, the bright lights and the stars in the sky reflect each other, stretching out, until the sky, it is impossible to distinguish where is the lamp and where the star is ......

Such a night is destined to be prosperous and lonely.

Liang Sheng stands on the top floor of Rong's branch office building in a prosperous area, looking out of the wide floor-to-ceiling windows, you can enjoy the panoramic view of this night.

It's just that he has no intention of appreciating this night scene, and his body is as lonely as the night outside the window.

He had been standing there for more than ten minutes, quietly motionless, with a cigarette between the middle and index fingers of his left hand, and he was unhurried and unhurried, floating up in circles.

If it weren't for the smoke still moving up the circle, it would have made people think that it was not a person standing by the window, but a statue.

Knock -

Knock -

Knock -

There was a soft knock at the door, and the sound was unhurried, and there was a bit of temptation, and the knocker was obviously cautious.

"Come in." Liang Sheng still didn't move, frowning slightly.

The door opened, Ah Quan walked in tremblingly from the outside, a little hesitant, his steps were relatively slow, he walked from the door to Liang Sheng and stood still, but he didn't make a sound.

Sensing something unusual, Liang Sheng turned to look at him and asked, "Ah Quan, is something wrong?" ”

"Uh......" Ah Quan wanted to speak and stopped, but before he could speak, a layer of fine and dense sweat appeared on his forehead, and he said after a few seconds: "Just now one of my subordinates said that in the bar street of Binhai Road, I seem to have seen the third lady." ”
