Chapter Seventy-Five: Execution
With this episode, it was close to dawn when the unloading was completed. With Cheng Rongjian here, a group of people didn't dare to shout at them to drink.
Jiang Guangguang got into a car with Anan in silence, and before the car moved, Akai walked over, opened the car door directly, coughed lightly, and said, "Xiao Jiang, the second master has something to look for you." ”
Anan was used to it, and his face was expressionless. The others in the car all looked at Jiang Guangguang. Jiang Guangguang responded with a hello and bent over to get out of the car.
Akai didn't leave, waiting for her to get out of the car, and then closed the car door.
Cheng Rongjian was sitting in the car early, his face was as light as usual, and he couldn't tell the mood at all.
Jiang Guangguang got into the car, and he glanced at her. probably saw her disgraced face, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Scared?" ”
Jiang Guangguang reached out and rubbed his nose. said: "No, there is nothing to be afraid of if there is a second master." ”
The corners of Cheng Rongjian's mouth hooked, and after a while, he said slowly: "I said that I received a report, what do you think of this incident?" ”
Jiang Guangguang was slightly stunned, and he didn't know what he meant. He snorted and said, "I don't understand what the second master told me." ”
"Don't understand?" Cheng Rongjian's eyes were deep, and after tapping his fingers, he lowered his head slightly to Jiang Guangguang's ear, and asked casually, word by word: "Do you think someone really reported it, or is there an insider?" ”
His voice was low, and it was very ambiguous in the eyes of outsiders. Jiang Guangguang's body was tense in an instant, and Cheng Rongjian would not ask her this for no reason. After a long while, she heard her voice and asked, "What does the second master think?" ”
Cheng Rongjian had already leaned back on the car seat casually, his fingers were tapping, and as soon as the corners of his lips were hooked, his mobile phone rang.
He glanced at it and motioned for Akai to stop. Akai was very knowledgeable, and immediately stopped the car, opened the door and got out of the car.
In this case, the phone call should be very important. It's important enough to be avoided. Jiang Guangguang also immediately followed Akai out of the car and closed the door.
Cheng Rongjian in the car sat as calm as a mountain, Jiang Guangguang's heart sank little by little, Cheng Rongjian asked this for no reason, probably suspecting her something.
Originally, his temptation of her was not over. The people who can follow him, who have not been investigated. Innocent like her
Jiang Guangguang looked down at the shadow on the ground, lit a cigarette and smoked. The car followed behind, Cheng Rongjian's car stopped, and all the cars stopped, only flashing dim yellow lights.
The night was silent, and Jiang Guangguang's gaze swept over the cars, which were inexplicably empty.
Cheng Rongjian's call took a long time, and Jiang Guangguang's body stood cold before getting back into the car.
The previous topic was interrupted. Cheng Rongjian didn't mention it again. I didn't know what I was thinking, so I rolled down the window and smoked a cigarette.
It was silent all the way, and when I arrived at Cheng Rongjian's lair, someone had already greeted him, took a coat for Cheng Rongjian, and put bath water on it.
Jiang Guangguang went upstairs quietly like an invisible person, and collapsed on the bed without even taking off his clothes. The whole person was very tired, and she curled up motionlessly under the quilt into a small ball.
Jiang Guangguang slept until the afternoon of the next day, and when he woke up, it was drizzling outside, hitting the windowsill and ticking.
Probably because I haven't been asleep and haven't moved, my body is very stiff. She just lay quietly, and after a while her body gradually relaxed. It was obviously May weather, and my hands and feet were very cold.
She lowered her eyes slightly, and after a while, she got out of bed. It was quiet outside, and there was no sound.
Jiang Guangguang smoked a cigarette in the room before walking out. The footsteps fell silently on the snow-white carpet, and when I got downstairs, only an aunt was busy, and when I saw her politely calling Miss Jiang, I asked her what she wanted to eat.
When I got up at this time, it was already past dinner. Jiang Guangguang rubbed his nose and said that he would just eat noodles. As she spoke, she sat down at the table in the dining room. The table was ivory white, polished, reflecting her thin shadow.
Auntie's movements were very fast, and she soon brought a bowl of seafood noodles. The noodles are covered with shrimp and vegetables, and just looking at them makes people very appetizing.
Jiang Guangguang hadn't eaten all day, and he couldn't help but move his index finger. After saying thank you, I picked up the chopsticks. She was not reserved at all, but she ate quietly, and it didn't take long for a bowl of noodles to be eaten cleanly.
Auntie probably didn't expect her to be so edible, she was a little surprised, and politely said, "Do you want to cook a bowl for you?" ”
Jiang Guangguang drank the soup as well, and then said, "No need, I'm already full." After a pause, she said very seriously, "It's delicious." ”
It suddenly reminded her of the noodles cooked by her grandmother before, in the small yard, the noodles were kneaded by herself, revealing a smell of wheat. After boiling in the pot, I put in the small shrimp bought from the morning market, clams, and chopped green onions, and I can drip just by smelling it.
Xu is her tone is too serious, and the aunt is flattered. He didn't treat her politely at all, and said with a smile: "You like to do it for you next time." ”
Jiang Guangguang smiled slightly, and said yes. looked into the huge living room and said, "Isn't the second master here?" ”
It was almost dawn before dawn when I came back, and I should have been catching up on sleep at this time.
"The second master booked a ticket back to Kyoto early this morning, saying that the old lady was not very well." Auntie said politely.
Jiang Guangguang nodded, as if she knew what she was thinking, and then said, "Steward Xu also went with her." ”
Jiang Guangguang sniffled and snorted. Auntie looked at her. Tentatively, he said, "Shall I make you a snack?" ”
"No, you're busy. I'll go out and have a look. Although her dress was shabby, she was obviously well-cultivated, and since she came in, she had never looked around as if she had never seen the world, and her eyes did not show half a point of surprise.
Auntie replied respectfully.
Jiang Guangguang walked to the door, but did not go out again. Outside, the rain still didn't stop, dripping down on the dense creepers. Probably because Cheng Rongjian was not there. There were fewer people out there. She glanced at it roughly, stood for a moment, and then slowly withdrew her gaze.
After standing outside for a long time, she returned to the living room. The aunt had already made a cup of hot tea and brought it up, probably because she was afraid that she would be bored sitting there, and said politely: "If you don't dislike me to take you around, every grass and tree here is designed by the second master himself." ”
Jiang Guangguang's hand holding the tea paused slightly, looked down at the tea leaves that were already floating, and said hello.
The aunt asked her to wait for a while and took off her apron.
The layout of the house is large, the lower floor is the aunt and the guest room, and the upstairs is full of Cheng Rongjian's space. The design is antique, and even the floor tiles are precipitated with the taste of time.
The aunt accompanied Jiang Guangguang to go around downstairs, and Jiang Guangguang found that every room was famous. The meaning is not superficial, and it is obviously not taken randomly.
In the most corner, there is also an underground wine cellar, where Cheng Rongjian's collection of various red wines and exquisite wine glasses are placed.
When I got upstairs, my aunt introduced me softly. There are frescoes hanging in the hallway, and chandeliers. Luxury everywhere.
When I got to the innermost room, my aunt said, "This is where the second master meets the guests, and this is the second master's study." After a slight pause, she lowered her eyes and said, "The second master's study is not allowed to be approached, and you have to get the permission of the second master to enter." ”
Jiang Guangguang looked up, then lowered his head again and nodded. The aunt then introduced: "This is the second master's bedroom, and the second master doesn't like people to go in when he is here." ”
After turning the whole building, the aunt took Jiang Guangguang to the backyard. The backyard is planted with flowers and plants, and in the middle is a huge open-air swimming pool. The water was crystal clear, and it was cleaned, not even the dead leaves of the flowers and plants.
A small house on the far edge of the outside is where Cheng Rongjian raises dogs. That thing is fed by special people, and it is very delicately raised.
The aunt was probably scared and told Jiang Guangguang not to approach easily. Those things are usually based on bloody raw meat, and their temperament is wild. Except for Cheng Rongjian, others can't easily get close.
Jiang Guangguang suddenly remembered the prosperity in the courtyard, and he was a little absent-minded, no wonder he was so afraid of him.
Auntie just introduced. did not take Jiang Guangguang over again. Jiang Guangguang knew that she had something to be busy with, so he asked her to be busy with her, and she would take a look for herself. She squatted in the backyard and looked at the lush flowers and plants, and then went back to the living room.
It was a rainy day and it was getting dark early, and it was already twilight outside at seven o'clock. The smell of food came from the kitchen, and the whole house was very quiet, only Jiang Guangguang and Auntie.
The dinner was simple and delicate, Jiang Guangguang drank the soup served by his aunt, and asked a little casually: "When will the second master come back?" ”
"It should take a few days, but the second master didn't explain it." Auntie replied respectfully.
Jiang Guangguang was silent. Probably because Cheng Rongjian was not there, and he didn't see Akai and Anan come back after eating. The whole house is deserted.
Jiang Guangguang sat until ten o'clock as if he was in a villa, and then went upstairs. She didn't lie in bed like she did last night, but stood by the window and looked out. Outside, it was foggy, and in the dim yellow light, even the scenery was not really visible.
The darkness was like a giant beast with its fangs and mouth, as if it could engulf everything. There was no sound outside except the sound of rain, as if it was asleep.
Jiang Guangguang stood at the window and watched for a long time before he lay on the bed with his clothes closed. As the minutes passed, the surroundings were even more silent, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.
She slowly closed her eyes, and after a long while, she quietly got up. The hallway was dimly lit and there was no sound.
She walked around the corner, put on her gloves, and turned off the switch. The surroundings fell into darkness in an instant, and she stood for a while, not hearing any sound, and then she took advantage of the faint light of her mobile phone, took out a dagger, and cut the fuse.
After doing all this, her movements did not pause for half a minute, and immediately went upstairs neatly to the front of the study.
The door to the study was locked, and she magically pulled out two thin wires. There was a slight crackling sound in the lock, and she reached out and pushed the door open.
The study room was quiet and deserted, and by the faint light of the mobile phone, you could see rows of bookshelves and neatly arranged books.
The desk was cleanly cleaned and not a little cumbersome. Jiang Guangguang took a look, stepped forward and opened the drawer, and slowly looked for it.
There wasn't anything in the drawer, it was empty. Jiang Guangguang searched for a few drawers, and then moved his gaze to the rows of bookshelves. Her gaze was slightly condensed.
Cheng Rongjian's account book should have recorded many shady things. This is the bargaining chip he holds the lifeblood, and such an important thing will not be put at will.
She looked away again, looking around at the wall by the light of her phone, then reached out and tapped lightly. After a circle, her heart sank little by little.
There is no darkroom here. Her gaze shifted back to the row of bookshelves. It's also entirely possible to sandwich things in a book.
She'd been in for more than ten minutes, but it would take at least half an hour to search the shelves. Jiang Guangguang's thoughts paused slightly, she was clear. If it weren't for Cheng Rongjian's absence today, she would hardly have had a chance to get close to this study.
Cheng Rongjian's words came to her mind when she was in the car yesterday. She pursed her lips, no longer hesitated, and began to flip through the bookshelf intently.
The more she got to the end, the more her heart sank. The shelves are neatly arranged with books, and nothing else.
Seeing the time pass bit by bit, Jiang Guangguang's forehead involuntarily broke out with fine and dense sweat.
She looked at the time, and it had been almost forty minutes since she had been in. She didn't go any further and turned off her phone. Go to the door.
She pressed against the door, listened to no movement outside, and then opened the door. As soon as the door opened, a cold voice rang out, "What are you doing here?" ”
As the voice sounded, a strong light fell on Jiang Guangguang's face. Cheng Rongjian stood outside the study in a stormy manner, with a cold face without the slightest expression.
His hair was damp and dripping, and he didn't know how long it had been. Jiang Guangguang's body stood stiff. Let Cheng Rongjian's cold gaze fall on her.
The hallway was silent, but it seemed like a storm was going to happen at any moment. Jiang Guangguang was silent, and his thin body stood straight.
Cheng Rongjian's eyes flashed with anger, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and choked her throat with one hand. A little bit, he pushed her against the wall. A sneer appeared on his lips, and he said word by word: "Okay, very good." ”
As he spoke, the hand that grabbed Jiang Guangguang's throat tightened little by little. A pair of eyes looked down coldly at Jiang Guangguang by the light of the flashlight, with a faint scarlet.
Jiang Guangguang's slightly pale face gradually turned red, and instead of begging for mercy, the corners of his mouth hooked up a trace of ridicule.
Cheng Rongjian's hand tightened even more, and when Jiang Guangguang was about to suffocate, he suddenly threw her away.
Jiang Guangguang, who was almost suffocated, fell to the ground, he glanced at her coldly, and said coldly, "Take it down and lock it up." ”
Jiang Guangguang didn't have any resistance, and was dragged down. Her face did not soften, and the corners of her lips still carried the sneer.
She was soon thrown into a small dark room, the door slammed shut, and she coughed violently.
She probably coughed so hard that tears rolled out of her eyes. Crash down into the pitch black ground. Cheng Rongjian, I'm afraid I've been waiting for her to do it for a long time.
Those gentleness or concern were just weapons to soften her guard. In the darkness, Jiang Guangguang's face was numb. The winner is the king and the loser Kou, on this day, she didn't think about it.
She closed her eyes, a hint of sarcasm on her lips. Her throat was hot, and the pain spread along her limbs, and she leaned against the cold wall motionless.
In the end, she was too anxious, or she overestimated Cheng Rongjian's trust in her. She should have thought that he was forcing her to do what he said in the car.
His mind was so deep that his aunt told her that he was gone. Then let her show her all the places, and she jumped into this trap.
In the darkness, Jiang Guangguang's face was indifferent and numb, allowing the pain to spread wantonly, leaning against the wall with his eyes closed and motionless.
Time passed in the darkness for a long time, and there was no light in the hut, so it was impossible to tell the difference between day and night.
originally thought that Cheng Rongjian would appear, but he didn't. Every day, except for a meal that will be delivered from the small door, it is quiet outside.
Jiang Guangguang was very quiet, and he would eat a clean meal every day, and then put the dishes and chopsticks back on the side of the small door, waiting for someone to take them away.
Waiting is undoubtedly the most exhausting of people's will, but she is very calm. There was no hysterical yelling or yelling. If she hadn't eaten every meal cleanly, she wouldn't have imagined that she was still alive.
I don't know how long it took for the iron door outside to be opened. Jiang Guangguang looked towards the door, and it was not Cheng Rongjian outside, but Ah Bei.
He glanced at Jiang Guangguang coldly and said, "Come out." ”
Jiang Guangguang stood up from the ground after a while, and then walked towards the door. When she walked out, she found that there were vicious black dogs around her, and when she saw the living people, she immediately let out a barking sound that made people cry.
"The second master wants to see you." Ah Bei glanced at her coldly again, and then walked outside. The road was extremely long, and when I came to the end, I saw Cheng Rongjian, who was in a shirt and trousers, sitting coldly on the Taishi chair at the very end.
He is no different from before, he still looks indifferent. His gaze kept falling on Jiang Guangguang's body, as if he wanted to see something from her.
Jiang Guangguang was extremely calm, and when he arrived in front of him, he stood with his head down. There was no panic in her body, Cheng Rongjian looked at her for a long time, and then asked lightly: "Who asked you to come?" ”
His eyes were unfamiliar. It's like looking at a stranger.
Jiang Guangguang smiled faintly and said, "Who does the second master think asked me to come?" ”
Cheng Rongjian's gaze was slightly deep, Jiang Guangguang paused slightly, and then said lightly: "The second master is scheming, since it has fallen into the hands of the second master, if you want to kill it, you have to follow the second master." ”
Cheng Rongjian's eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers knocked on the Taishi chair a few times, and said word by word: "You are not afraid of death." ”
Jiang Guangguang smiled faintly and said, "The second master is wrong. I'm scared of death. ”
Cheng Rongjian's eyes were heavy, and he sneered and said, "I don't think you're afraid at all." ”
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. In this world, there are probably no people who are not afraid of death. Even a person like the second master who calls for wind and rain is not afraid of death, is he? Jiang Guangguang's tone was very serious.
Cheng Rongjian looked at her lightly and said, "I think you are still very sharp-toothed." Tell me, what are you looking for in the study? ”
Jiang Guangguang fell silent, looked at the torture instruments hanging on the wall, and suddenly smiled. said: "The second master knows that I won't say, so why bother talking nonsense with me, let's do it." ”
Cheng Rongjian glanced at her, her eyes were gloomy, and she said lightly: "It seems that you have been prepared early." ”
"Under the hands of the second master, it is natural to think about these things early." The smile on Jiang Guangguang's face was very faint, his face was calm, and he didn't flinch at all.
Cheng Rongjian didn't speak, looked at her coldly, and asked after a while: "Did the surname Zhou ask you to come?" ”
Yes, as deep as he was, even if her past was blank, how could he not find those pasts. It's really embarrassing for him, and he hasn't shown his voice at all, all the time
"If the second master wants to guess so, that's fine." Jiang Guangguang's tone was very light, and a sneer loomed on a pale face.
Cheng Rongjian's eyes flashed with a fierce color, stood up, and grabbed her throat. A pair of deep eyes stared at her coldly, and said word by word: "Do you think that I don't dare to torture you?" ”
His eyes were full of anger, and the hand that grabbed Jiang Guangguang's throat was not soft at all.
"In this world, there is probably nothing that the second master does not dare." Jiang Guangguang said intermittently, his face turned from white to red. The sarcasm in a pair of clear eyes was undisguised.
Cheng Rongjian's eyes looked at her as if they wanted to see her through, and after a while, he released her throat, threw her to the ground, and said coldly: "If you want to use torture, I will fulfill you." ”
He glanced at her condescendingly, took a step back, and called out to Ah Bei coldly. Ah Bei stepped forward quietly, Cheng Rongjian no longer looked at Jiang Guangguang, and said coldly: "Torture until she says it." ”
