Chapter 246: Cunning
Gu Shi'an thought that Chen Xiao would go out, but Chen Xiao did not go out again. When he arrived at the office, he discussed with Assistant Sun outside. She didn't sleep well last night, so she was arranged to rest in the office to recuperate for the meeting with Chen Xun at night.
Although he didn't sleep much last night, Gu Shi'an couldn't sleep at this time, so he closed his eyes and recuperated on the sofa. Chen Xiao outside, making plans with both hands, let people continue to stare at the place where the Tibetans were found. On the other side, he and Assistant Sun speculated about the place where Chen Xun would meet.
He has dealt with Xiao Si not once or twice, and he is clearer about Xiao Si's territory. Since he was planning to do something to him, he would definitely choose his own territory. Xiao Si has always been suspicious, the two are old rivals, this time he finally had a chance to deal with him, if he chooses to be in another place, where will he rest assured.
Now the one above is keeping an eye on him, and the place he chooses must be hidden. As long as he guesses the place he will choose and prepares in advance, then the chance of them coming out safely will be at least forty percent.
Chen Xiao barely spoke, staring at the few points circled on the map. Assistant Sun said a few words from time to time, but he just nodded or shook his head.
They didn't have enough manpower, and after determining the last two possible points, he asked Assistant Sun to go out and prepare. They must have brought people, and with him and Gu Shi'an with those two, it would be impossible to come out if no one answered.
What they want is him, the worst option, that is, for him to stay.
Xiao Si knew his situation, and it would not do him any good to take a few more lives.
Chen Xiao originally wanted to go to the house, but he didn't go. Just standing in front of the window, looking out at the bleak street. He took out a cigarette and took a few puffs, then dusted off the ashes in his hand.
There was no expression on his face, he and Xiao Si really had to calculate the account. He couldn't be clearer in his heart, Chen Xun, but just the fuse.
In other words, Chen Xun is just a chess piece in Xiao Si's hands.
Chen Xiao stood in front of the window and didn't move for a long time. Outside, the sky was gray, and I didn't know if there would be a heavy snowfall in the evening.
He suddenly remembered what he looked like when he first saw Xiao Si. At that time, it was also winter.
When he took over Chen, he was too young. In the Chen family, there are many elders who are not convinced. The means of not being convinced is to disobey the yang and the yin. During that time, he was not less anxious.
Chen Zhengkang is not successful, and the old lady has great hopes for him. He wouldn't tell the old lady about such a big mess.
He also knew that the old lady was old, and telling her would only worry her. Even if she cleared it up for him, if there is a first time for such a thing, there will be a second time. And so it goes.
He had to make an example, cut off the restlessness that was about to move, and cut off the uneasiness that was about to move at once.
What he didn't expect was that before he could do it, someone would make a move on him.
At that time, he was the only person he could trust. It was Assistant Sun who followed him into the Chen family. That time, he narrowly escaped and learned that the person who did it to him had an affair with a local underworld.
He has always been unable to afford to lose anything. When they do something to him, he will naturally retaliate with a tooth for a tooth. It was at that time that he and Xiao Si had their first cooperation.
Xiao Si has always been insatiable. At first, the cooperation between them was quite pleasant, but in the end, the insatiable face gradually appeared.
He and he had a few years of deceit. Xiao Si is much more difficult than those in the company, and it took a lot of money for him to get rid of him. Unexpectedly, he was still not satisfied. It's a pity that he has never been slaughtered.
Chen Xiao's eyes showed fierceness, extinguished the cigarette butt, and went back to continue looking at the map.
Gu Shi'an forced himself to close his eyes and gradually fell asleep. When she got up at noon, Chen Xiao was still there, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a big battle in the evening, and after lunch, Chen Xiao personally took her to an underground shooting range. took out the wooden warehouse, skillfully dismantled it, and taught her how to use it.
He did these things smoothly and without dragging his feet in the slightest. There is also a coldness on the body. Gu Shi'an has never seen such a Chen effect. She didn't speak, but took it, and did as he taught.
She knew that many things had to be arranged by Chen Xiao, so after practicing for a while, she let him go to work, and left someone to guide her.
Chen Xiao didn't refuse, let her just learn something simply.
On such an occasion, how could it be possible to move nothing. Gu Shi'an naturally knew, and nodded his head.
The waiting time is undoubtedly difficult, and Chen Xun said that they will be given a place to trade in the evening. But it was getting dark, and there was no movement on his side. Chen Xiao dialed the phone, but his phone couldn't get through at all, and the mechanical female voice prompted that the phone had been turned off.
Assistant Sun couldn't hold his breath, so he asked, "What does he mean?" ”
Chen Xiao's face was calm, and he said, "Wait and see." He looked up at the time, pinched his eyebrows with his fingers, and sat down on the side.
Not long after he sat down, someone from outside hurriedly walked in. At this time, someone came in, there must be something, and Assistant Sun immediately walked over.
The people who came in first looked at Chen Xiao, then at Gu Shi'an, and said in a low voice, "Miss Li is here." ”
He said that Gu Shi'an didn't react a little, and when he saw the embarrassment on Assistant Sun's face, he knew that it was Li Ran who came over.
The people who came in were obviously embarrassed, and they didn't leave or stay, so they had to ask again: "Mr. Chen, do you want to invite in?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the office instantly fell silent.
Chen Xiao made a calm look and said, "Please come in." ”
The man didn't dare to go to see Gu Shi'an, turned around and went out to call someone.
Li Ran came in quickly, still wearing delicate makeup. I just carried two insulated boxes in my hands. She was not surprised to see Gu Shi'an there, she still greeted Gu Shi'an with a gentle and gentle look, and then said to Chen Xiao: "It just so happens that there is soup at home, I heard that you have to work overtime tonight, so I will send you some by the way." ”
When she said this, she looked at Gu Shi'an, smiled and said, "Shi'an, let's try my craftsmanship?" ”
Gu Shi'an also smiled back and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Li, I have already eaten." ”
What she just said, 'I know that Chen Xiaode has to work overtime, so I will send it by the way' is worth considering, and I don't know who told her that Chen Xiaode worked overtime.
The strange thing is that no one asked, Chen Xiao even asked lightly: "Didn't you go to work today?" ”
Li Ran smiled slightly and said, "Yes, get off work early today." ”
She is gentle and virtuous, not only for Chen Xiaosheng, but also for the people present. It's just that everyone is long-eyed, and they know that the beauty's soup is for Mr. Chen, so they all refuse.
When everyone is like this together, it doesn't look like they're working overtime. Li Ran put the soup in the soup and asked as if he had just realized, "What's wrong with everyone?" ”
Assistant Sun smiled and said, "Not much." Miss Lai, you may be seated. ”
Li Ran obviously didn't believe this, his face was a little stiff, he looked at Chen Xiao, and said, "Is it inconvenient to tell me?" There is a lot of power in numbers, if I can help......"
She looked pitiful and couldn't bear to refuse. It's just that before the words were finished, Chen Xiao said lightly: "It's nothing, you think too much." ”
Li Ran didn't pick him up, looked around, looked at Gu Shi'an half-jokingly and half-seriously, and said, "Shi'an, they don't tell me, you won't tell me, right?" ”
Gu Shi'an looked at her with a smile and said, "Senior Sister Li doesn't believe it, what do you think is the matter?" ”
When she asked Li Ran, she was dumbfounded. Squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay." ”
As she spoke, she opened another bag she had brought, and said with a casual smile, "I also brought some snacks, let's all eat some." Barely able to cushion the stomach. ”
She was completely self-cooked, looked around, and said, "Can you make coffee here?" I'm going to make coffee for everyone. ”
Assistant Sun said politely at this time: "Miss Li is a guest here, how can you trouble Miss Li." ”
Li Ran smiled gently and said, "It's okay to stay anyway." Besides, I'm a guest. She said this and looked at Chen Xiao with a smile.
No matter how you hear this, it is ambiguous, Assistant Sun's face flashed a little unnatural, and he didn't dare to go to see Gu Shi'an, so he said politely: "Then trouble Miss Li, Miss Li, please." ”
As he spoke, he took Li Ran to the pantry.
Although Li Ran is enthusiastic, because of her arrival, the atmosphere in the office is a little different. They were all sitting together just now, but now they are looking for their own things to do.
Li Ran's coffee brewing skills are good, and it didn't take long to smell the aroma of coffee. It's not particular here, the coffee was bought by Assistant Sun from the supermarket.
Li Ran deliberately showed off, saying that she had coffee beans she brought from abroad at home, and she would bring some when she came over next time. Let everyone taste it.
The last cup of coffee was for Chen Xiao, smiling and letting Chen Xiao taste whether her craft had improved.
Her move was undoubtedly ambiguous, and it was completely as if Gu Shi'an did not exist.
After all, this is the boss's business, and no one in the office should have seen it. Sitting down with your head in your own business.
Chen Xiao took the coffee, but he didn't drink it, he put it aside, raised his wrist to look at the time, and said, "It's not early, I'll let someone send you back." ”
The smile on Li Ran's face stiffened slightly, but then he returned to his casual appearance and said, "I drove over." I'll go back later. I'll stay, and I'll be able to help if I need help. People don't hate me for being clumsy, right? ”
She asked, smiling.
At such a juncture, what is the matter with her staying?
Assistant Sun glanced at Chen Xiao, smiled slightly, and said, "It's naturally our honor that you can stay and help." I'm afraid I'll be busy until late, so I'd better send you back first. ”
No matter how thick-skinned Li Ran is, he is embarrassed to stay at this point. I had to squeeze out a smile and say to Chen Xiao: "Then I'll go first." ”
Chen Xiao nodded, and did not mean to stand up and send it.
Assistant Sun next to him was standing and waiting, and Li Ran had to follow him outside.
Although Li Ran is gone, the atmosphere here is also stiff. No one spoke.
Assistant Sun came back soon, and he was about to say something, but Chen Xiao's mobile phone rang. So he waited.
At this time, everyone thought it was Chen Xun calling. But no, it was the people below who called, telling Chen Xiao that there was no movement in the few places he saw. There is no trace of Chen Xun and Xiao Si.
Chen Xiao pursed his lips and let him continue to star.
Li Ran's arrival was just an episode, and soon the atmosphere returned to anxious waiting. At nine o'clock, there was still no movement on Chen Xun's side, and Chen Xiao got up and went outside to smoke.
Just arrived outside, Assistant Sun also walked over. said in a low voice: "I said I wanted to send her, but she wouldn't let me." ”
Chen Xiao nodded lightly and asked, "Is it staring at people?" ”
Assistant Sun nodded and said, "The person didn't go, and the car was parked in a hidden place on the side of the road." Our people didn't dare to approach, for fear of startling the snakes, and we didn't know if there were other people in the car. ”
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Chen Xiao to speak, and said, "There is no news yet, will it be normal trading tonight?" ”
Chen Xiao's eyes were suddenly dark, he looked up at the lights outside, and said lightly: "It may not be." What he wanted to wait for was an opportunity for us to be exhausted. If you want to trade, you will have to wait until the second half of the night. ”
Chen Xiao looked at the time again and said, "Let everyone rest." Leave two people in touch with the people outside. ”
Assistant Sun responded and said, "You and Miss Gu should also take a rest." ”
Chen Xiao nodded, Assistant Sun went down, he smoked a cigarette, and then went out.
Although Assistant Sun asked Chen Xiao and Gu Shi'an to rest together, he couldn't rest. Xiao Si was ruthless, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.
Instead, he told Gu Shi'an all his thoughts and asked her to sleep first. Conserve your stamina.
At this time, both of them acted as if Li Ran had never been here, and no one mentioned it.
As Chen Xiao expected, Chen Xun called at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. The whining vibrating sound of the phone ringed in the dark night, and it was particularly harsh.
Although he had expected it, in order to make it look like he was eager, he immediately picked up the phone.
As soon as he fed it, Chen Xun on the other end of the phone said with a smile: "Brother is waiting a little anxious, right?" I'm really sorry, the phone was accidentally broken, and I just replaced it with a calling card. ”
The reason he was looking for was obviously lame.
Chen Xiao asked coldly as if he hadn't heard his 'explanation', "Where did we meet?" ”
Chen Xun didn't go around the bend now, and said: "The place to meet has not been decided for the time being, so brother will take his sister-in-law out first." Drive all the way north and I'll have to make sure there's no one following you. After all, it's better to be careful, brother, right? ”
Chen Xiao's fists were clenched tightly, and he said lightly: "Do as you say." Before I do, though, I'm going to make sure they're all right. ”
Chen Xun chuckled and said, "Okay." ”
He didn't know where he was going, but after a short while, there was a sudden sharp wail of men and women. Chen Xun laughed and said, "I heard it." I didn't treat them badly, and I was in good spirits. Otherwise, how could he howl so loudly. ”
I don't know what he ordered his men to do, and the wails of men and women continued. Chen Xiao knew that the more he said at this time, the more the two would suffer.
He asked lightly, "Now go?" ”
"Yes. Go all the way north until the right time comes, and I'll call you where to go. ”
What this means is that from the time he went out, he was being watched. Let him not play any tricks.
Chen said yes, didn't say anything more to him, and hung up the phone directly.
His phone hung up, and Assistant Sun immediately asked in a low voice, "What did he say?" ”
Chen Xiao replied lightly: "Let the car go all the way north." ”
Assistant Sun was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Our guess is wrong? ”
The corners of Chen Xiao's lips hooked up with some sarcasm, and he said lightly: "No, he just wants to mislead." He must be in the opposite direction. ”
First misled him, and then changed course. Even if he was prepared, it would be in a hurry. That's a good idea.
Chen Xiao's tone was firm.
Assistant Sun hesitated at this time and said, "In case I don't ...... if I'm not there."
This matter is not trivial, and he is very willing to believe that Chen Xiao's judgment is right. But if there was any case, even if they wanted to rush over, it would be completely too late.
Chen Xiao grabbed his coat and put it on, and said lightly: "If there is any case, it will only be my life." If I can't come back, take care of her for me. ”
Assistant Sun was silent and said, "I'll call Mrs." ”
The car was ready, and the people in the office gave them a ride out and opened the door for the two of them.
The car quickly drove out, Chen Xiao drove the car with one hand and held Gu Shi'an's hand with the other, and no one spoke. The sky was pitch black, and two rows of dim yellow streetlights kept retreating.
Chen Xiao followed Chen Xun's instructions and kept walking north, during which Chen Xun did not call again. It was quiet in the car, and after driving so far, Chen Xiaocai asked, "Are you afraid?" ”
Tonight is destined to bleed.
Gu Shi'an shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid." ”
She had never faced such a scene, Chen Xiao was silent for a moment, and said: "If there is a chance later, I will let you go, you can go, don't hesitate to know?" ”
His tone was harsh.
With such a tone, how could Gu Shi'an not know what kind of plans he was going to make. For a moment, her heart seemed to be suffocated, and she replied in a low voice.
Chen Xun didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't call. When the car was out of the city, he called and asked Chen Xiao to turn around and go back.
On his side, it depends on whether Chen Xiao's side is with or not. On the other hand, he is actually playing with Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao had expected it a long time ago and was not angry. Turned around.
Chen Xun obviously wanted to exhaust their patience, and went back several times over and over again.
For the last time, Chen Xiao simply stopped the car and asked coldly, "You don't want to trade anymore?" ”
Chen Xun laughed on the phone and said, "You don't have to come." ”
He relied on the two of them in his own hands, so he had nothing to fear.
The two of them had been hanging out for more than an hour now. Chen Xiao was not angry, the corners of his lips hooked up a little sarcasm, and said, "Do you want to wait until dawn to trade?" That's pretty good, too. I just don't know if Xiao Si agrees. ”
He said it lightly.
This kind of trick that instructs them everywhere can only be Chen Xun's own idea. In this way, Xiao Si has always disdained it.
His words poked Chen Xun's sore spot, and he sneered at this time, and said in a weird manner: "It seems that my brother is really in a hurry." Then I'm not going to go around the bend, and I'm going to keep moving forward. I didn't remind you to keep going straight before. ”
No matter how much he tried to play him around, he didn't dare to delay Xiao Si too much. can only let them turn around not far from their goal.
It's just that Xiao Si is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. This side is completely unfamiliar to him. Chen Xiao's lips pursed tighter, and he looked at the mobile phone on the side.
It's in the middle of nowhere, and there are no cars for a long night. The dark front is like a monster with a bloody mouth, waiting for them with its mouth open and swallowing them into its belly.
The transaction after dawn will obviously be affected, and Chen Xun did not play them again this time. When they arrive at a fixed place, they are reminded which direction to go.
He was clearly prepared, and he spoke with a sneer and smugness in his voice.
The atmosphere in the car was depressing, and neither Gu Shi'an nor Chen Xiao spoke. From time to time, she looked sideways at Chen Xiao's vague side face, knowing that this trip must be more auspicious, so she simply didn't think about anything.
Although I rested, no one could sleep at that time. Staying up until the second half of the night is exhausting.
Chen Xiao himself was also like a person who had nothing to do, feeling that Gu Shi'an looked at him from time to time, and said, "Close your eyes and sleep for a while, and I'll call you when you get to the ground." ”
Gu Shi'an originally wanted to shake his head, but in the end, he still responded and closed his eyes.
The topography of the place chosen by Chen Xun is complicated, and it does not follow a path to the end. There are a lot of forks in the road. Chen Xiao also drove slowly. The frequency of his phone calls with Chen Xun has changed from about ten minutes at the beginning to four or five minutes.
The forks in the road are all inward, and if the car is going to drive out, it will end up on the main road where the car came in from the outside. If you are lucky enough to escape in the end, you have to see if there will be an ambush on the main road. Chen Xiao looked outside, and his heart sank.
He took out an inconspicuous mobile phone under the car, briefly edited the text message while holding the steering wheel with one hand, and then pressed send.
If he guesses correctly, all the mobile phones will not have a signal in a while.
