It was cold outside, and the dim yellow lights in the courtyard gave off a faint light.

Qi Shiyun just went back to the room and added a piece of clothing, and when Gu Shi'an hurried downstairs, she was already waiting downstairs. She didn't call the driver, and directly asked Gu Shi'an to drive the car.

Chen Zhengkang has been leaving since the afternoon, and he doesn't know where he will be at this time.

Gu Shi'an started the car and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to call first?" ”

Qi Shiyun seemed to be a little tired, and said, "No, go straight over." She didn't know what she was thinking, and closed her eyes.

Gu Shi'an stopped talking and drove to the side where Chen Zhengkang was staying.

Because of the slippery roads, it is still peak time. Qi Shiyun is in a hurry, looking at the time from time to time. It's like sitting still.

The car stopped not far from Chen Zhengkang's residence for almost two hours, and Qi Shiyun didn't need Gu Shi'an to call, so she took out her mobile phone and dialed Chen Zhengkang's number.

She couldn't get through, and Chen Zhengkang's mobile phone prompt was turned off. Her brow furrowed, and she dialed it a second time. This time is the same as the previous time, it is still turned off.

She came over in a hurry, never expecting that she would not be able to contact Chen Zhengkang. She clenched her phone and sat with her eyes closed.

Gu Shi'an didn't know what she was thinking, looked at the community in front of her, and asked, "I'll go down and take a look, you are sitting in the car." ”

Qi Shiyun was tense as soon as she met them, and it was obviously inappropriate for her to go.

She was just about to get out of the car, when Qi Shiyun said, "No need to go." The corners of her lips curled up with some sarcasm, and she paused slightly, then said, "Even if you go, you may not be able to find him." ”

Her words don't speak for themselves. Gu Shi'an didn't understand what she meant. Qi Shiyun didn't explain, and said after a while: "Let's go, go back." ”

As she spoke, she closed her eyes and stopped talking.

Gu Shi'an looked at the community again and started the car again.

Qi Shiyun didn't speak all the way, and when she was about to wait for the traffic light in the old mansion, she suddenly asked, "When will Chen Xiao come back?" ”

Gu Shi'an didn't expect her to suddenly ask about Chen Xiaolai, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "He didn't say it." It should take a few days. ”

She thought Qi Shiyun was going to say something, but she didn't say anything. Didn't speak anymore.

It was already past eleven o'clock when I went back to the old mansion like this, although the lights were on in the old house. But it's quiet.

The two got out of the car one after the other, and Ye Qing was still waiting. And made a late-night snack. Qi Shiyun didn't say anything, and went upstairs directly.

Qi Shiyun's hurried out made Ye Qing a little uneasy, and she didn't have time to ask anything at that time, so she asked Gu Shi'an: "What's wrong?" ”

Qi Shiyun asked about the fact that when someone came from time to time in the afternoon, she said that Chen Zhengkang had come, who knew that she suddenly changed her face after standing for a while. asked her what Chen Zhengkang said when he came over, but she didn't know. I just said I don't know. Who knew that she actually went to find Gu Shi'an again.

Gu Shi'an was a little tired, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Not much." I don't know very well. ”

She said that Ye Qing didn't suspect anything, Qi Shiyun and Chen Zhengkang would pinch each other when they met. Probably he came over this time to upset her.

Ye Qing didn't ask any more questions, and asked Gu Shi'an to eat something and go to rest early.

Qi Shiyun hasn't gone out for a few days, and she got up early the next day. She didn't say hello to anyone either, and went out without breakfast.

Gu Shi'an got up a little later, Ye Qing went to tell her that Qi Shiyun went out, and she hurriedly got up. It was already too late to chase out, and Qi Shiyun was already gone.

Before her body recovered, Gu Shi'an immediately took out her mobile phone and called her.

Qi Shiyun picked it up after a long while. Without waiting for Gu Shi'an to ask her, she said lightly: "Don't worry, I'll go out to meet a friend." Will be back in the evening. ”

Her tone was calm.

Gu Shi'an wanted to ask something, but she hung up the phone directly.

Gu Shi'an was uneasy. But I don't know where Qi Shiyun is going, and I can only wait for her to come back at night.

Qi Shiyun said that she would come back in the evening, but she came back at about three o'clock in the afternoon. Her face was not good, she sat down on the sofa, Gu Shi'an poured her a cup of hot water, she drank it, and her face was slightly better. Leaning on the sofa with his hands on his brows, he waited for a while before asking, "Is there anyone else here Chen Xiao?" ”

There must be something wrong with her asking, Gu Shi'an nodded and said, "Yes." I'm going to call now. ”

Qi Shiyun didn't stop her, and acquiesced.

Assistant Sun came over quickly, and Gu Shi'an only called him for an hour. So he drove over.

He greeted Qi Shiyun politely. Qi Shiyun didn't make a detour, and said directly: "Father Chen Xiao came over yesterday. ”

Assistant Sun nodded.

Qi Shiyun said again: "His mobile phone has been turned off. I went over there today, and he never came out. He doesn't seem to be over there right now. ”

She said that and she didn't get to the point.

Assistant Sun was very patient and asked, "Do you want to see where he is?" ”

Qi Shiyun was silent for a moment and said, "He came here yesterday to find Chen Xiao. You should know the relationship between him and Chen Xiao. For no reason, it was impossible for him to come to Chen Xiao. He must have known something. She paused and said, "He is a real villain. But he has always been less courageous and knows what to do and what not to do. It also got a share of the weight. ”

Although she and Chen Zhengkang have quarreled for so many years, they have lived together anyway. She is more or less clear about what kind of person Chen Zhengkang is.

She said that, Assistant Sun still didn't understand something. He immediately stood up and said, "Rest well, I'll check it out now." ”

As he spoke, he took out his phone and immediately walked outside.

Gu Shi'an also walked outside and said in a low voice, "I'm with you." ”

There are few people who can use Chen Xiao now, and finding someone is naturally the more people, the better.

Her eyes were firm, and she continued without Assistant Sun speaking: "I promise to listen to the arrangement, and I will stay wherever I am." ”

Assistant Sun was a little helpless and said, "If Mr. Chen knew......"

"He won't know." Gu Shi'an said without thinking about it.

Assistant Sun couldn't resist her, so he could only take her with him. Keep her in the car and don't let her get out.

As Qi Shiyun said, Chen Zhengkang is indeed no longer there. Assistant Sun inquired with the security guard, and Chen Zhengkang didn't go back yesterday since he went out.

Chen Zhengkang is usually a cunning rabbit in three caves, and he often goes to many places. Assistant Sun made everyone star. He himself personally stared at the place where Chen Zhengkang went the most.

But these places where Chen Zhengkang loves to appear, there is no figure of him.

Assistant Sun called Chen Xiao and told him about the matter.

Chen Xiao said something Gu Shi'an didn't know, and after hanging up the phone, Assistant Sun said to Gu Shi'an: "I'll send you back." ”

It will take a lot of time to go back to the old mansion here and come back, and he has to keep an eye on this side now, where will Gu Shi'an let him send him back. said: "No, you are busy with yours, don't worry about me." ”

She went back with the same worries. It's better to stay here and at least know everything.

Assistant Sun listened to her and said, "It's not too early, I'd better send you back." ”

As he spoke, he started the car.

Gu Shi'an had to say: "It's too late to go back, I'll take a taxi to Chang Yan's side." ”

Assistant Sun was not at ease, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "You call and ask where Miss Chang is, and I will send you over." ”

He insisted, and Gu Shi'an had to make a phone call.

Chang Yan was still in the store at this time, so Assistant Sun sent Gu Shi'an over.

It's not far, but it's about twenty minutes away. Assistant Sun has been here a few times, and he didn't leave immediately when he arrived, but said to Chang Yan: "It's late now, it's resting anywhere, Miss Chang won't go back tonight." ”

He was obviously presumptuous in saying that. Chang Yan didn't say anything, nodded and simply responded.

Assistant Sun didn't say anything at this time, nodded slightly as a greeting, and then drove away.

There is only a small bed in the lounge here, but fortunately there are simple toiletries. Chang Yan closed the door and asked Gu Shi'an to wash up first, while she called herself.

Gu Shi'an lay down on the bed soon after washing, and Chang Yan came back after a long time. She didn't know what she was thinking, she closed her eyes and fell asleep without speaking.

Gu Shi'an was worried about Assistant Sun's side, and he couldn't sleep for a long time. When he was about to fall asleep in Lincheng, he was woken up by the sound of an alarm.

Chang Yin is no longer around, and Gu Shi'an is excited. Immediately sat up. There was only a faint light in the room, and after her eyes got used to it, she realized that Chang Yan was standing at the window, looking outside. She immediately got out of bed as well.

This side faces the street, and you can see the outside clearly. The alarm outside kept ringing, and she walked to Chang Yan's side before asking, "What's wrong?" ”

Chang Yan's face retracted his gaze, and he said lightly: "It should be some action on the side of the strip." ”

Below is a whizzing police car, which is obviously not a small action.

Gu Shi'an looked at Chang Yin, there was no expression on her face. It should have nothing to do with her, Gu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief slightly.

The police cars outside kept ringing, making people unable to sleep. It wasn't until it was almost dawn that it fell silent.

Both of them fell asleep at dawn. Gu Shi'an woke up and was already up. When she went downstairs, she was already in the kitchen, making breakfast.

Gu Shi'an wanted to help, but she refused to let her help, she just stood aside.

Xiao Wu came early, at eight o'clock. Seeing Chang Yin, he said as if he had survived the catastrophe: "I was fortunate to go back early last night." When he said this, he specially lowered his voice and said, "I heard that someone was doing illegal transactions last night, and the police arrested a lot of people. A lot of streets were also blocked. Some people said that there was also a clashes, and several ambulances were called. A friend of mine who is already playing there happened to be playing there, and I heard that he was stabbed during the commotion and is still in the hospital. ”

He looked like a gossip.

Chang Yan glanced at him and said, "You know quite clearly. ”

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "I've heard about it." But it should be true, I came over there this morning and it was still a mess, and the cleaners were cleaning. There was blood on the ground. It's good to take care of it above, otherwise I don't know how messy it is. ”

Lincheng has always been chaotic, but it is just chaotic underground.

He went on to say, "I heard that it was the handiwork of the new mayor, who had always turned a blind eye to the previous one. As soon as he took office, he had achievements, and his future is limitless. ”

He spoke as if he were one of them. Saying that, he shook his head and went about things.

Although a police car kept ringing last night, Gu Shi'an didn't expect it to be so big. She suddenly remembered Assistant Sun's advice last night.

Assistant Sun told them not to go back, which should obviously be known.

Since he knew, Chang Yin must also know. Gu Shi'an asked in a low voice, "What happened last night?" ”

Chang Yan didn't hide it from her, and said lightly: "The letter is three people with three fires, and someone hit the muzzle." ”

She said it simply. After a pause, he continued: "The places last night were all under Xiao Si's hands. He should be targeted by the new one. ”

Xiao Si was targeted by this, and his life was not easy. It must be more restrained.

Gu Shi'an's heart did not feel relaxed, but heavy.

This morning, Gu Shi'an was very worried, but fortunately, there were not many people at noon, and he was not busy.

It was already one o'clock at noon when Chen Xiao came over, and he had been here a few times, and Xiao Wu had an impression of him. politely called Mr. Chen.

Gu Shi'an raised his head when he heard Chen Xiao's answer. She didn't expect him to come back so early, stood up, and said, "It's back." ”

Chen Xiao nodded and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

Gu Shi'an nodded and said that he had eaten.

Chen Xiao came to pick her up and take her back to the old house, and he didn't stay here for long. Soon I went back to the old house.

The car was driven by the driver, and he seemed to be a little tired. When I got in the car, I kept my eyes closed and pretended to sleep.

There has been no news from Chen Zhengkang's side, Gu Shi'an originally wanted to ask, but he didn't ask when he closed his eyes.

The old mansion was quiet, and Qi Shiyun probably knew that Chen Xiao was back. And not in the house, but in the living room.

Gu Shi'an didn't change his clothes yesterday at Chang Yan's side, and when he entered the living room, Chen Xiao said to her: "Go and change your clothes and come down." ”

Obviously, he and Qi Shiyun have something to say. Gu Shi'an responded and quickly went upstairs.

Chen Xiao didn't know what to say to Qi Shiyun, but he came upstairs in about ten minutes. He was tired and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

Gu Shi'an didn't go downstairs either, just stayed in the bedroom. Waiting for Chen Xiao to come out, she asked, "Dad...... Is there a clue over there? ”

Chen Xiao obviously knew about the fact that she had been following Assistant Sun yesterday. He wiped his hair and said, "I'm investigating, it shouldn't be long before there will be clues." ”

He didn't go downstairs again, dried his hair and lay down on the bed. said to Gu Shi'an: "Come and take a nap." ”

Gu Shi'an couldn't sleep, so he said, "I'm not sleepy." I'm going to help Aunt Ye with things. ”

Chen Xiao didn't let her go, raised a pair of narrow eyes to look at her, beckoned, and said, "Come here." ”

Gu Shi'an had to pass now.

As soon as she lay down on the bed, Chen Xiao's hand gently stroked her stomach and asked softly, "Did he trouble you?" ”

Gu Shi'an was a little awkward, and said: "It's still young, so I won't make trouble." It won't be moved until a few months later. ”

Chen Xiao closed his eyes and snorted. The hand never took it off Gu Shi'an's stomach, so it kept going.

Gu Shi'an didn't dare to move, and after a while, he asked, "Are all the things dealt with?" ”

She waited for Chen Xiao to answer, but she didn't hear him for a long time. When I went to see him, I realized that he was asleep.

He slept soundly, his brow slightly loosened.

Gu Shi'an lay down for a long time without moving, and it took half an hour before he gently took Chen Xiao's hand away. I got up softly.

Chen Xiao on the bed didn't notice her leaving, and she was still asleep.

Gu Shi'an was originally going downstairs, but he remembered Chen Xiaona's changed clothes and walked to the bathroom again.

The clothes were really messy and thrown on the ground, and she picked them up one by one and put them in the basket containing the clothes. When I went to pick up the white shirt, I saw another dark red stain on the cuff. Although it was small, it was still visible as a blood stain.

Gu Shi'an's movements froze, and he stood for a while before putting away the shirt.

Chen Xiao was wearing a bathrobe, which was spacious and his arms were exposed. Gu Shi'an checked that both arms were not injured, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he was not injured, the blood stain on his shirt belonged to someone else.

Gu Shi'an stood in front of the bed in a daze for a long time, and then gently opened the door and went downstairs.

When Chen Xiao woke up, it was already evening. When Gu Shi'an went upstairs to see him, he was talking on the phone at the window. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he turned around, said a few words to the other side of the phone, and hung up.

After a good night's sleep, his face was much better. Gu Shi'an said at this time: "Aunt Ye asked me to come up and call you for dinner." ”

Chen Xiao nodded in response and went downstairs with her.

When he came back, the dinner was naturally rich, and even Qi Shiyun, who had not spoken, said a few words. It's just that no one mentioned Chen Zhengkang.

After eating, Qi Shiyun quickly went upstairs, and Chen Xiao asked Gu Shi'an: "Do you want to go out for a walk?" ”

It's a little early to go to bed now. It's not good to stay in the house for a long time. There was snow outside, but it wasn't too cold. It's a good place to go out.

Gu Shi'an thought he was going out, but he was stunned and asked, "Aren't you going out?" ”

Chen Xiao nodded at this time, and said lightly: "It's almost done." ”

As he spoke, he picked up Gu Shi'an's coat and said, "Let's go, go out and eat less." ”

Because of the snow, the light outside is bright. Chen Xiao took Gu Shi'an outside and walked slowly along the road.

It's winter, but it's well maintained. It's not that the old mansion is depressed. Planted clumps of unknown trees are green.

Probably because he was afraid that Gu Shi'an would fall on the ground, Chen Xiao held her hand when he got outside. Put it in your own pocket. His palms were warm and dry, and Gu Shi'an was gripping his fingers tightly.

Afraid of catching a cold, the two of them stayed outside for a short time. In about twenty minutes, I returned to the old house.

Ye Qing had already slept, but he knew that the two of them hadn't come back yet, leaving a light for them. It is especially warm on cold winter nights.

Gu Shi'an suddenly remembered the old lady at this moment.

When the old lady is there, the old house is more lively. And now, even if they all came back, it was still deserted. There's no excitement at all.

Chen Xiao said that everything had been taken care of, but when it was time to go to bed, he suddenly received a call from Assistant Sun.

He didn't answer the phone in front of Gu Shi'an, took his mobile phone and opened the door and went out. He didn't come back until Gu Shi'an washed up and lay on the bed.

Chen Xiao answered the phone call for about twenty minutes before coming back, he entered the bedroom, stretched out his hand to pull the quilt for Gu Shi'an, and said, "Sleep well, I have to go out." ”

Gu Shi'an was not surprised, nodded, and said, "Pay attention to safety." ”

Probably didn't expect her to say such a word, Chen Xiao was silent for a moment, and then nodded in response.

He thoughtfully turned off the lights for Gu Shi'an, closed the door, and then left. It didn't take long for the sound of a car's engine to sound in the yard.

Gu Shi'an couldn't sleep, forcing himself to close his eyes in the dark.

She originally thought that Chen Xiao would not come back, but he still came back in the second half of the night. Gu Shi'an woke up the moment he went to bed.

She didn't move, just snuggled into his arms as he reached out and put his arms around her.

Chen Xiao reached out and patted her gently, and his chin rested on her head. Smell her hair.

He was quite addicted to cigarettes at that time, but there was no smell of cigarettes on his body tonight. It's still a fresh smell after bathing. It doesn't smell of blood.

Chen Zhengkang got news the next day, saying that he had gone on a trip. But he probably didn't take the plane or train, and he didn't find the information to buy a ticket. It's just that his phone is still turned off.

I don't know if he went out to greet Chen Xun's mother and son, but there has been no movement over there.

Chen Xun came to the old mansion on the fourth day of Chen Zhengkang's trip, and the pomp and circumstance he came over was still big. I probably came over at a pinching point in time, and Chen Xiao happened to be there when I came.

He still looked gentle and gentle, and greeted Qi Shiyun and Ye Qing first when he entered the door.

The expression on Qi Shiyun's face was indifferent, and she got up and went back to the house. He didn't care, and sat down on the couch without being greeted. After looking around, he smiled slightly and said, "Grandma has not changed much here." ”

Chen Xiao's eyes were slightly downcast, he glanced at him lightly, and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Chen Xun smiled slightly and said, "Brother, you don't seem to welcome me over?" ”
