When the old lady woke up, it was already afternoon, and although the fever had subsided, her spirits were not good. I couldn't eat, so I only ate a small half bowl of porridge.

She probably didn't expect to alarm everyone, and when she woke up, she asked everyone to go back. Only Gu Shi'an was left.

But there have been a lot of things that have happened recently, and she is getting older, no one dares to go back, and they are all guarding the old mansion.

The old lady was not in good spirits, and she fell asleep not long after eating. Her cold was probably caused by depression, although the fever had subsided, but when she fell asleep, she was covered in cold sweat. The doctor was about to leave when he saw that he was fine, but he stayed and guarded.

The atmosphere in the old mansion was oppressive, and no one felt bored sitting in the living room all day. In the evening, almost all the grandchildren came over.

Gu Lan was the latest to get the news, and he was supposed to work overtime at night, but now he also asked for leave and rushed over.

She was sincere about the old lady's worries, and when she came over, she asked how the old lady Gu Shi'an was doing, and then cooked porridge for the old lady alone.

Gu Chengde went out early, and it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening when he went back and forth. The appearance of the wind and dust, the tired face.

The others were supposed to want to ask something, but they all tacitly agreed to ask nothing. After sitting for a while, Gu Chengyun went to smoke with him.

This night was a vigil in turns, saying that the vigil took turns, but in the end, only Gu Shi'an and Gu Lan were on guard. The others got tired of playing cards in the middle of the night and found all sorts of excuses to go upstairs. Only Gu Lan and Gu Shi'an were left in the living room.

Gu Shi'an asked Gu Lan to rest, but she refused, saying that she was not sleepy.

The others left, and the two of them talked more, and Gu Shi'an asked if Gu Lan was used to going to work recently. She found a new job and worked as a clerk in a company. Although the salary is not very high, you can learn a lot.

Gu Lan said that everything was fine. It was really difficult at first, but now it's much better.

She even met Qiu Shengmin a few times after she went to work, I don't know if it was because he was beaten by Chen Xiao that time and learned a lesson or what, he was not as domineering as before when he saw her again. Probably wanted to come up to say hello, but he was followed by someone, and finally hesitated and left.

has gotten rid of that nightmare, and now Gu Lan's tone is much more relaxed. After hesitating for a moment, he asked how Gu Shi'an was at work.

Although no one deliberately told her everything about the Gu family, she already knew that Gu Shi'an worked at the Gu family.

Because the old lady favored Gu Shi'an, she knew that she was ostracized by the Gu family. What's more, it's to go to work at Gu's.

Gu Shi'an smiled and said that everything was okay, it was all going well.

Even if she asked Gu Shi'an's true situation, she couldn't help much. Gu Lan didn't say anything in the end. After sitting for a while and letting Gu Shi'an guard, she went to the kitchen to make supper by herself.

The two kept vigil until dawn, and the old lady's sleep was quite good. I woke up only once at night, drank half a glass of water, and then fell asleep again.

The next day, the old lady's spirits were better, and she knew that Gu Shi'an and Gu Lan had been guarding her all night, so she urged the two of them to rest.

Gu Shi'an slept on this foot until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and when she woke up, the old lady was sitting in the living room, and Gu Lan was talking with her. The others weren't.

When the old lady saw her coming downstairs, she smiled kindly and said, "Wake up." As she spoke, she asked the aunt in the kitchen to get Gu Shi'an something to eat.

The aunt wrapped a small ravioli, probably because she was afraid that Gu Shi'an would be hungry after not eating all day, so she directly got her chicken soup wontons.

Knowing that both of them had to go to work, the old lady urged the two to go back after dinner. Saying that she was almost all right, it didn't make sense for them to stay here. I'll call them if there's something.

The two still couldn't beat the old lady in the end, so she sent a driver to send them back.

The driver sent Gu Shi'an first, and it was already more than eight o'clock when Gu Shi'an arrived home. Gu Shi'an had just gotten out of the car when he saw Assistant Sun waiting aside.

She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, knowing that there must be something wrong with him waiting here, so she stepped forward quickly and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Assistant Sun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her, he was going to make a call, but then he put the phone back and said, "I haven't been able to call you." ”

Assistant Sun smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Chen is back." ”

Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he meant by this.

Assistant Sun opened the car door and said, "He asked me to take you to his side." ”

Gu Shi'an didn't ask anything, and got into the car with a good answer.

Assistant Sun quickly started the car, Gu Shi'an fastened his seat belt, and then asked, "When did he come back?" ”

"Get off the plane in the afternoon." Assistant Sun replied politely.

He got off the plane in the afternoon, but he never called her. Gu Shi'an nodded and didn't speak again.

She originally thought that Assistant Sun was going to take her to Chen Xiao's house. But no, the car kept heading to the outskirts of the city.

Gu Shi'an was puzzled, but he couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?" ”

"You'll know when you get there." Assistant Sun replied respectfully.

The road on both sides became more and more deviant, and when Gu Shi'an was about to lose his seat, the car stopped in front of a dilapidated building.

It was pitch black in that building, and Gu Shi'an looked at Assistant Sun at this time.

Assistant Sun didn't explain anything, and said, "Mr. Chen is inside." ”

It's so dark, you can't see anyone anywhere at all. Gu Shi'an nodded, opened the door and got out of the car.

Assistant Sun also quickly got out of the car, took out the flashlight he had prepared earlier, and took Gu Shi'an into the dark building.

The building is abandoned, and it's a mess inside. When he entered, Assistant Sun's footsteps did not stop, but took Gu Shi'an all the way upstairs. When he reached the third floor, he stopped and said, "Mr. Chen, Miss Gu is here." ”

Gu Shi'an looked inside, and then saw a little red fireworks in front of the window.

Chen Xiao spoke up quickly, and hummed casually.

Assistant Sun didn't stay long, and returned after saying this.

Gu Shi'an didn't know what Chen Xiao asked her to do here, and her eyes couldn't adapt to the darkness. When he got used to it, he was just about to go inside, when Chen Xiao's voice came over and said, "Afraid that I will eat you?" ”

Gu Shi'an always felt that the current Chen Xiao was a little different from the Chen Xiao a few days ago, she didn't say a word, and groped inside.

By the time she walked to Chen Xiao's side, her eyes had adjusted to the darkness in the building.

The expression on Chen Xiao's face in the dark was not real, but from the slightly hooked corners of his mouth, it could be vaguely seen that it was a smile but not a smile.

Gu Shi'an quickly retracted his gaze and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Chen Xiao took a puff of smoke and replied lazily, "You'll know later." ”

His tone was quite meaningful.

Before Gu Shi'an could ask him what big drama he was watching, he suddenly grabbed her arm. Gu Shi'an might as well hit him in the chest at once.

There was a faint smell of smoke on his body, and before Gu Shi'an could react, he chuckled lightly and said, "Why, after a few days on a business trip, you don't want me at all?" ”

His tone was ambiguous and flirtatious, and Gu Shi'an's head rested on his chest. I was about to say something, but when the words came to my lips, I didn't say them in the end. Just about to ask something, Chen Xiao suddenly attached himself and bit her lip.

His kiss was fierce and ruthless, and Gu Shi'an's lips were quickly bitten by him with a bloody taste. She was in pain and couldn't help but cry out.

Chen Xiao didn't let go of her, and sucked hard at the wound. He was fierce and fierce, but the kiss didn't last long, but in a minute he let go of her.

Gu Shi'an was a little overwhelmed by his sudden emotion, and before she could react, Chen Xiao shushed and said, "It's here." ”

As he spoke, he let go of Gu Shi'an's shoulders and squinted his glasses into the distance.

The upstairs are high enough to see far away.

Gu Shi'an didn't know what he was talking about, but he still looked up. At the end of the road that could be seen, a car drove slowly over.

I don't know if the driver is not familiar with the road or what, the speed is not fast, like a snail.

Gu Shi'an looked up at Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao's side face was grim in the dark.

He was not in a hurry, he lit another cigarette and smoked slowly.

The car didn't look far away, and Gu Shi'an originally thought it would come over soon. But no, the car was driving extremely slowly, and it stopped when it was still so far away. The lights went out.

She looked at Chen Xiao now.

Chen Xiao stood still and didn't move, not even his eyelids.

In such an atmosphere, it is obviously not suitable to speak, and the words that Gu Shi'an wants to ask are swallowed into his stomach, waiting for the people over there to come.

The car over there didn't move for a long time, but after about ten minutes, two figures appeared downstairs. Gu Shi'an subconsciously looked at Chen Xiao.

The corners of Chen Xiao's mouth hooked up a sneer, as if he was not afraid that the two of them would come upstairs, standing still and not moving.

Time passed slowly, and the two men quickly entered the building. Gu Shi'an was nervous, no longer looking downstairs, but looking at the staircase.

The abandoned building was empty, and the sound seemed to be amplified. The two of them should have been wandering around the first floor, and the footsteps quickly went up to the second floor.

Although the footsteps were deliberately lightened, some noise could still be heard.

Gu Shi'an was nervous, just staring at the staircase. While looking around where there was a place to hide, so that the two of them could hide when they came.

Chen Xiao seemed to be sure that the two of them would not come, and stood motionless. It's just that the sarcasm at the corners of his lips is thicker.

The two looked downstairs, but didn't know why they didn't go upstairs. There was a slight noise downstairs, and then the footsteps went downstairs again. Gu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief slightly.

The two men did not stop and quickly went to the place where they had parked.

The two of them couldn't see anything upstairs, and they didn't know what they were doing when they came in. It wasn't until the two of them were far away that Gu Shi'an asked in a low voice, "Who is coming?" ”

In the middle of the night, I appeared in an abandoned building. Even if he didn't have to think about it, Gu Shi'an knew that it was definitely not a good thing.

It's just that Chen Xiao specially called her over, which should have something to do with her.

Chen Xiao didn't answer her, and replied casually: "Don't worry. ”

The two had already left, and Gu Shi'an didn't know what she meant. She wanted to ask, but in the end she didn't say anything.

The figures of the two quickly disappeared into the darkness, and Gu Shi'an thought that Chen Xiao would leave. But he didn't, he was still standing there. A pair of eyes are fixed on the parking place.

Gu Shi'an stood silently on the side, and after standing for a while, he didn't see the lights on the other side of the car and left. Then she asked, "Are they still coming?" ”

Those people didn't leave, and Chen Xiao didn't mean to leave. That means they're definitely coming over. Just now, I just came to step on it.

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything anymore. Chen Xiao mentioned waiting here, obviously to wait for the other party. Gu Shi'an was afraid that something bad would happen to his mobile phone, so he turned off his mobile phone directly in his pocket.

The temperature in early winter has gradually cooled, the wind in the upstairs window is strong, and Gu Shi'an's body is slowly becoming cold in waiting.

She was looking for something to talk to Chen Xiao, but she couldn't find anything to say.

Chen Xiao was much calmer than her, and he was not in a hurry at all. I don't know how long I stood in the darkness before the car started again and drove this way.

The speed of the car was still slow, and when it arrived at the front of the building, it did not turn off the engine, but carried a large suitcase down from the upper floor. The faces of the two of them were not very clear in the dazzling light, and when the two turned around, Gu Shi'an saw that the person among them was her second uncle Gu Chengde.

Gu Shi'an had something faintly coming out of her mind, and she subconsciously clenched her fists.

Gu Chengde and the people around him did not enter the building, but looked around downstairs, and then lowered their voices and shouted, "Is there anyone?" ”

Naturally, no one replied to him.

Gu Shi'an looked up at Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao gestured to signal her to be calm.

The two people downstairs were in a hurry, and after waiting for a while, no one responded, so they immediately called a second time.

This time, there was still no response. Gu Chengde probably felt that he had been deceived, and he cursed some swear words in his mouth. Then I took out my phone and made a call.

Gu Shi'an originally thought that the mobile phone was here with Chen Xiao, but he didn't. Chen Xiao's mobile phone is quiet.

Gu Chengde's phone was not picked up until the last second, he was obviously impatient, lowered his voice and said angrily, "Where are you?" I'm already here, I've changed places twice, what do you want? ”

He had almost lost his mind, and his voice was raised.

"Mr. Gu, what's the hurry, I'm already here." There must have been a loudspeaker downstairs, and the sound rang out in the open space.

Gu Chengde was obviously taken aback, and before he hung up the phone, the person on the other end of the phone said, "Mr. Gu is in a hurry." You have to pay attention to the word honesty in everything you do. Changed places twice for the good of all of us. ”

Gu Shi'an didn't expect that there would be other people here besides himself and Chen Xiao. It's just that I don't know where the person is hiding, Gu Chengde and they obviously came here just now, but they didn't find anyone.

Chen Xiao was not surprised, obviously he knew that there were people for a long time. Gu Shi'an didn't move, quietly listening to the conversation downstairs.

Knowing that someone was in Gu Chengde, he simply hung up his mobile phone and said to the dark building: "Since you are here, come out, I have already brought the things." ”

The people in the building chuckled lightly and said, "Mr. Gu is really powerful, two million was raised in a short period of time." ”

Although he was complimenting Gu Chengde in his words, he didn't mean to go out to meet.

Gu Chengde did not speak with a calm face.

The person inside paused, and continued: "Mr. Gu has always been smart, I can't believe it. Open the box and count it to me. ”

Where did Gu Chengde think that after tossing a few times, the other party didn't even see each other. He didn't know what kind of request the other party would make after the count. He gritted his teeth and said, "I've come here as you asked, don't get an inch." ”

The man, who was also not a fuel-efficient lamp, chuckled lightly and said, "Who gave me the capital to get an inch?" Mr. Gu refused to open it, wouldn't the things inside be fake? If so......"

He laughed at this, and said no more. But it smacks of threat.

Gu Chengde will swallow his anger here for a while, and he will not ask anyone to do it. I opened the suitcase I had brought over. Under the light of the car, there was a pile of pink renminbi in the suitcase.

After he opened it, he stood up and said coldly, "This is going down? ”

The person inside laughed again and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Gu didn't understand what I meant." I mean, it's over. Although Mr. Gu has taken out such a large amount of money, it will not be less. But I've always been serious. I'm also scared, this money may not be much money in general, but for me, it's a huge amount of money. ”

He spoke slowly and logically, obviously not caring about annoying Gu Chengde.

Gu Chengde didn't expect that he would really let him pass the count, and when the matter came, he could only swallow his anger, took a deep breath, suppressed the fire in his heart, and said: "It takes a lot of time to order such a sum of money." I can assure you that I withdrew the money from the bank. Not a penny less. ”

"Really?" The man said something, thinking that he was going to say something, but there was no more sound, and the building fell silent all of a sudden.

Gu Chengde's patience had reached the extreme, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Who are you?" ”

There was still no sound downstairs. It wasn't until a minute or two later, or even longer, that the voices of the people inside sounded again, saying, "I said when I was trading, let Mr. Gu not ask who I am." No matter who I am, as long as I take the money, I will go far. I will never come back to ask Mr. Gu for the second time. ”

Gu Chengde's mind turned quickly, and he said coldly: "I don't even know who you are, you can not ask me for a second time, but you can ask for a second time with another identity." ”

The man didn't refute this, laughed, and said, "It seems that Mr. Gu's money is quite easy to take." ”

Gu Chengde's face was pale, and he didn't talk nonsense with him on this topic. He took a deep breath and asked, "Who the hell are you?" ”

"Mr. Gu has to know that breaking the casserole and asking in the end is not good for Mr. Gu." The voices of the people inside are meaningful. He paused slightly, and then said: "Since Mr. Gu has come, it means that the news in my hand ......"

I don't know if I'm afraid to hear what he says next or what, before he finished speaking, Gu Chengde scolded: "You don't fart!" Come out, come out for me right away! ”

He was angry.

Compared to him, the people in the building were very relaxed. I wasn't angry at all when I was scolded for farting, so I laughed and said, "If I'm farting, will Mr. Gu come over with so much money in such a daze?" I'm pretty self-aware, my fart, not that valuable. ”

Gu Chengde's face turned pale, and he didn't pay attention to his interjections, and asked, "I have already brought the money, how do you want to be happy." ”

"If Mr. Gu was so refreshing, we wouldn't have to waste talking for a long time." The one inside said meaningfully, and then continued: "Mr. Gu can leave now, and the money is in place." ”

He said it simply and crisply.

Gu Chengde said without thinking about it: "Impossible." I've given you the money, but you have to give me a guarantee. ”

The person who asked for it was not surprised, laughed, and said with some playfulness: "What guarantee does Mr. Gu want me to give you?" Writing a letter of guarantee? Then I'll have to think about how to write it. ”

There is no such thing as a guarantee at all. Gu Chengde was naturally clear, and immediately said: "The guarantee is useless. ”

"Really? So what does Mr. Gu want? The tone is easy to talk and discuss.

Gu Chengde obviously had already thought about it, and said, "Come out, let's sign the agreement." ”

The man chuckled and said, "Signing the agreement doesn't do anything either. Mr. Gu seems to have to see me. In this way, Mr. Gu came over, and there was no sincerity. ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Gu Chengde to speak, and continued as if talking to himself: "Mr. Gu knows that I don't have any evidence in my hands. It's just this mouth of mine. If Mr. Gu had to give a strong guarantee, he would have sealed my mouth and made me completely dead. ”

He chuckled when he said this, and then said: "I just got the money, and I haven't squandered it yet, how can I be willing to die?" ”

"You think too much, no one wants you dead." Gu Chengde's tone was cold, paused, and said, "But you have to at least let me know who you are." I don't want to be accused two or three more times. ”

The people inside chuckled and didn't speak for a moment.
