Wandering aimlessly on the streets, this city where she grew up suddenly felt strange to Lingche, who had lived in a greenhouse built by her parents since she was a child, and had never really seen the cruelty of society. With the death of her father, the darkest side of this world is naked in front of her again and again. The ideals of the past collapsed, and all kinds of loss, confusion and anger could not find an exit. How many of those people who are in a hurry come here with dreams to work hard, and how many of them can really get their wishes?

Ling Che suddenly felt very lonely, she took out her mobile phone and dialed Xiang Ke's number, only thinking of him could warm her slightly cold heart.

After a long time, the phone was finally connected, and Shen Sijia's sweet voice came from the other end of the phone: "Lingche, is it you?" I'm Sijia. ”

Ling Che nodded in astonishment, "Miss Shen, hello." ”

"My brother was talking about things in my grandfather's study, and I couldn't help but answer the call when I saw that it was you." Sijia said: "Do you want me to bring it in and give it to him?" ”

"Oh, no, it's nothing. Thank you. Lingche hung up the phone gloomily. Xiang Ke's relationship with his grandfather has been repaired little by little recently, and both of them have carefully avoided the minefield of Xiang Ke's parents and tried to open their hearts to each other. Lingche also hopes that Xiang Ke's wandering heart can return to his home as soon as possible, but for this home, for some reason, she is a little afraid. In the shadow of the Shengshi Group, Lingche always felt that his world was too small, so small that it could be crushed by the torrent of this financial empire at any time. If Xiang Ke is just an ordinary lawyer, she can stand by his side very confidently; But when he stood in front of her one day as the heir of the Shengshi Group, she really didn't know how to face him, not to mention, there were so many pretenders around her because of Xiang Ke's identity. Lingche felt that she was very contradictory, and this contradiction would one day completely crush her!

Thinking of this, Ling Che couldn't help but shudder, the hunger in her stomach pulled her back to reality from her flying thoughts, turned to look at the surrounding environment, it was very close to the place where Xiang Ke took her to drink porridge last time, Ling Che decided to try to find it, to see if she could still find the porridge shop.

It turns out that people's memory is not always so reliable, it will occasionally doze off, and there will be a little deviation, Su Lingche has completely lost his way after sparing two laps in the old alley. This group of low-rise bungalows is clearly out of place in this high-rise city, with a large demolition written on many walls, and there is no human population in the long alleyways except for a few families who are about to move out. A black cat scurried out from behind, howling like a baby, Lingche looked at the high-rise landmarks in the distance, tired and hungry, and just wanted to get out quickly.

But the more anxious she became, the more chaotic she became, and when Lingche was annoyed to take off her accidentally broken heels, a hairy teenager laughed and blocked her way.

Lingche watched vigilantly at the visitor, and his brain raced through strategies to deal with it. She carefully pulled out her purse from her bag and threw it forward, turning around and about to retreat backwards, when two dark shadows appeared from behind her at some point blocking her path.

The mobile phone in the bag sang desperately, cutting through the silence of the night sky, Lingche hesitated and did not dare to move, but the young man took out the mobile phone from her bag suspiciously, pressed it twice, the quacking sound stopped, and the world suddenly fell silent.

Lingche felt the cold blade cut through her coat and pressed hard against her back, warm blood sticking silently down her back, accompanied by the burning heat of the torn skin. The boy's voice came from his ears like a ghost: "Don't meddle anymore. ”

Like a nightmare, the three teenagers disappeared silently under the night sky, and the silent alley was empty, except for Lingche who shivered like a frightened soul. She trembled and picked up the phone that the boy had thrown on the ground, and finally turned it on after a few hard presses. As soon as the screen lit up, the familiar number was dialed in, and when he saw Xiang Ke's name, Lingche's eyes immediately turned red, and Xiang Ke asked anxiously: "Lingling, where are you?" Why did it suddenly shut down? ”

Lingche bit his lip and pretended to be calm: "I'm lost." ”

"And what are the iconic buildings around you? Tell me, I'll pick you up. Xiang Ke said.

"It's just a lot of bungalows, and they look like the last time you took me to drink porridge, but I can't find that porridge shop." Ling Che muttered, "Xiang Ke, I'm so scared, there's no one here. ”

"Try to find out if there are any telephone poles nearby?" Xiang Kedao.

"Yes." Lingche trembled and picked up the wallet on the ground, staggered to the nearest telephone pole, and reported the number on the telephone pole to Xiang Ke by the dim light of the mobile phone.

"Lingling, stay there and don't move, I'll be there soon." Xiang Ke admonished.

Lingche nodded, and sat down on the ground. She didn't eat all night, she suddenly felt hungry and sleepy, shivering with cold, without a trace of strength, Xiang Ke's phone did not hang up, his voice was warm, like the sun illuminated Lingche's heart, she held the phone tightly like a life-saving straw.

It took about ten minutes for Xiang Ke to rush over, and he saw Ling Che who was shrunk into a trembling ball, so he hurriedly took off his suit jacket and wrapped it tightly around Ling Che's body, gently hugged Ling Che in his arms, and said with concern: "Ling Ling, what happened?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a few thugs." Ling Che understated and pressed her face tightly against Xiang Ke's chest, the familiar aura warming her cold face.

"You're hurt?" Xiang Ke inadvertently touched the sticky blood on Ling Che's back, and said nervously, "Show me your wounds." ”

Ling Che buried his face in Xiang Ke's arms and whispered, "It's just a scratch on the skin, it doesn't matter." ”

"There was so much bleeding, we went to the hospital." Xiang Ke's hand holding Lingche tightened, and he couldn't help but speed up the pace on his feet.

The wound was indeed not deep, and the other party obviously only wanted to intimidate Ling Che, but the delay was a little long, resulting in excessive blood loss, and Ling Che looked weak. After the doctor simply treated the wound for her, he told her to pay attention to rest and not to let the wound become infected or something. Xiang Ke was like a great enemy, and carefully interrogated the whole story.

Thinking that this matter might be related to Zhang Yi's death, Ling Che didn't dare to be careless, Ding Dafa's advice was especially in his ears, and he couldn't tell the truth to Xiang Ke, so he could only play Tai Chi ambiguously: "It's just that I just happened to meet a bad boy who is short of money to spend, don't be so nervous." ”

Xiang Ke looked gloomy, took out Lingche's wallet, and several brand-new red tickets in the wallet were lying there unharmed, he took out the money, spread it out in front of Lingche, and looked at her coldly.

"Don't you be like a prisoner." Lingche lowered his head weakly: "I don't have anything to do." ”

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about things at work." Xiang Ke's eyes were bottomless, but there was undeniable authority in his voice: "Tomorrow I will help you report to Ding Dong on leave, no matter what the injury is, I will talk about it later." ”

"Don't." Ling Che wanted to refute, but his raised eyes just met Xiang Ke Ling's fierce gaze, so he had to close his mouth sneeringly.

The familiar sound of music broke the solemnity in the air, and Xiang Ke took out Lingche's mobile phone suspiciously, and saw Jia Rui's number shining on the screen, and the flames burning in his eyes were even stronger, staring at Lingche tightly.

Lingche whispered: "It's nothing, don't take it." As he spoke, he was about to hang up.

Xiang Keyan quickly snatched it over and connected the phone, only to hear Jia Ruidi's voice anxiously coming from the receiver: "Lingling, when I parked the car just now, I saw a person sneakily following behind, and I was a little worried about you, so call to confirm, have you arrived home?" ”

"Lingling is with me now." Xiang Ke said coldly.

"Oh." Jia Rui said: "It's okay." ”

"I will take care of my girlfriend, and it would be better for Lawyer Lin to spend more time with his family." Xiang Ke hung up the phone casually.

Lingche lowered his head, and he didn't dare to look into Ke's eyes with a weak heart.

Xiang Ke silently helped Lingche pack the phone and money, gently picked up Lingche, and said softly: "It's me who didn't protect you well." “

Lingche shook his head: "Don't say that, you're already fine." ”

The clouds on Xiang Ke's face dissipated little by little, but the strength in his hand increased, and he couldn't wait to rub Lingche into his body: "Silly girl, don't work so hard for work, you are a girl, leave the charge to a man to do, nothing is more important than your own safety." ”

Ling Che hurriedly nodded, and retracted his head tightly into Xiang Ke's arms, the uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated, becoming as soft as a cloud in the sky.

In order not to worry his mother, Ling Che deliberately asked Xiang Ke to hide his injury, and although Xiang Ke was not very happy, he had to cooperate with Ling Che to pretend that nothing had happened.

What happened tonight is related to Lingche's personal safety, Lingche himself is reluctant to say, but Xiang Ke can't help but find out. Today's incident is obviously to scare Ling Che away, but the perpetrator really doesn't know our stubborn little friend too well, how can she give in so easily to what she is determined to do? There was no way to start with Ling Che, so Xiang Ke simply didn't do anything and called Ding Dafa directly to ask for clarification. Ding Dafa was also deeply surprised to hear the news of Ling Che's injury, he didn't seem to be willing to tell the truth about Xiang Ke's questioning, but just said that the case handed over to Ling Che recently was a bit complicated, and it may have touched the interests of some people, and he would arrange for others to continue to follow up.

"With what I know about Lingche, if she really grasps something, she will definitely not give up." Xiang Ke said straight to the point: "It's better for you to leave this case to me." ”
