Three days later, Chiba and He rushed back to Lucheng.

She was actually a little skeptical about whether the customer in He Chong's mouth really existed at the beginning, but she didn't expect He Chong to confess honestly the next day. Although he was angry, he had to let him be willful when he thought about the relationship between their employers and employees.

Entering Lucheng, He Chong sent her directly outside the Sakura Apartment, and the bodyguard's car was also parked in the rear and stood by.

She got out of the car, carrying a bag and a plastic bag in her hand, and He Chong stepped out of the driver's seat and took off her sunglasses.

Lifting his angular face, he looked at the cherry blossom apartment proudly, and the carotid artery under his earlobe was slightly raised, showing a vigorous personality. He loosened his neckline again, and his strong chest muscles stretched the shirt full and tight, and his hormones exploded.

"This house is really not good, if you want to change to a better one, look for me."

What a breath, Chiba thought, Sakura Apartment was the best house she had ever seen in her life.

"Thanks, I'd like to change to a not-so-good one." She smiled and refused.

"Why don't you ask me to come up and sit down?"

"Forget it, the house isn't good, bye-bye."

He Chong shrugged helplessly and drove away.

After he left, Chiba glanced at the sentry box, Da Mao was not there, and walked towards the housekeeper center again. The plastic bag in his hand is full of water chestnut and other specialties, all for Da Mao, this "not very valuable" way to maintain friendship can only be shared with Da Mao. Song Yingchen can't do it, and neither can He Chong, they have always been separated by an insurmountable gap, both status and identity. The gap between people and people due to their identities can be ignored, but its existence cannot be denied.

"Big hair? We're looking for him. Hearing that someone was looking for Da Mao, the director of the housekeeping center said angrily, "This kid is too, he said he was going back to work for a while, and he left without saying hello for a while, even if he resigned, he had to complete the formalities, what kind of thing is this." ”

"I definitely miss my daughter-in-law! At the beginning, I told him what class the newlywed Yan'er ran back to work, and I regretted it. If I ask for a wife, I will definitely hold it in my arms every day, and I will be reluctant to go anywhere. Another staff member teased, a cheesy smile on his face.

Chiba was a little surprised, stretched his neck and continued to ask, "When did he leave?" ”

"It's been two days, and the phone has been turned off when I call it, and the phone in my hometown has changed, and even his master can't be contacted. Looks like I don't want to do it anymore. ”

"Don't want to do it anymore?"

"Huh......" The supervisor blew the fine crumbs on the sticky note paper and said indifferently, "If you are absent from work for three days without reason, it will be regarded as a voluntary resignation, and even the old employees must follow the rules." By the way, what are you looking for him? ”

She shook her head and left with her bag, and just got back to 1101 when Steven called.

"Hey, Director......"

"Are you back?"

"Just arrived, what's wrong?"

"There's something very important looking for you, can you come out?" Steven's voice sounded anxious.

"Okay." She immediately realized that this very important matter must be related to Shi Ran, "Where can I find you?" ”

"The gate of Linjiang Park, I will arrive in half an hour at most."

"Okay, I'm pretty much the same."

Hurriedly putting her things down, changing into civilian clothes, she went out again.

Steven arrived in a cheap car she had never seen before, and as soon as she appeared, she was immediately put in the car.

While fastening her seatbelt, she asked, "Superintendent, where are we going?" ”

"That place." Steven stepped on the gas pedal and the car sped off.

She was a little nervous because Steven was driving too fast.

"Don't worry, I'm good at it, I won the third prize in the Lucheng Karting Steeplechase." Steven reassured her concern, "I'm just a little excited and want to get to my destination quickly." ”

"Are you going again?"

"Where do you say, a brick house or a pharmaceutical factory?"

"What do you mean, went to the pharmaceutical factory?"

"Hmm." Steven made a muddy sound deep in his throat before smiling, "It's a big gain." ”

"Is there really a casino in there?"

"No, it's more incredible than the casino, you'll know when you get there."

She was no longer talking, she needed to mobilize her attention during the journey to relieve the fatigue of the journey.

After the kidnapping case, she has lost the timid and fearful nature of ordinary women, and she is even more fearless when walking with Steven at this moment, because Steven has an extraordinary IQ and quick reactions, they only need to be cautious, and ordinary danger does not pose a threat.

The car soon came to Deadhead, and Steven led her through the grass to the outside of the gloomy pharmaceutical factory.

The door was locked, but it couldn't stop curiosity.

Steven walked along the wall with ease, quickly found a suitable place to climb, turned his head and asked, "Can you do it?" ”

Chiba nodded. The wall is not very high, and there is a brick missing on it, just enough to step on this hole and climb over it.

The two entered the pharmaceutical factory without incident, and Steven reflexively hunched his waist, like a spy trying to escape an enemy outpost in a movie. She followed suit and went with him into the storeroom.

The tension intensified, and the two of them couldn't even hold their breath. There had been no rehearsals, but she and Steven had always maintained a tacit understanding until they stood in front of a pile of wooden boxes at the end of the storeroom.

"This is it." Steven breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's here?" She looked left and right, and then crouched down to observe, but to no avail.

"Shi Ran has been released, I don't know what he has to do with cleaning up all the troubles." Steven explained, while being on high alert to his surroundings, "When I went to him, he was very cold, friendly, and we had a fight. Later, I didn't give up trying to follow him to see what kind of people I was dealing with, but I guessed correctly, he came here in the old man's car on the other side of the ruins. ”

"Ah, you're too bold!"

"No, I'm scared to death, but I can't suppress my curiosity. I followed him to the door, and the old man's car seemed to have something wrong, and it took him a long time to get it in, and it was locked as soon as he entered. Just as he was about to pick up the crack in the door and look in, a man and a woman suddenly came behind him. ”

"You've been discovered?"

"Probably not. I subconsciously ran forward, hiding in the two of us just over the wall, the people inside opened the door for the man and the woman, and entered the warehouse, seeing that there was no movement, I simply plucked up the courage to climb in and hide under the window to peek, and saw an incredible scene. ”

Steven gestured to the pile of boxes beneath her feet.

"What's down here?"

Steven didn't answer, and began to move the boxes, even though she didn't know so she stepped forward to help. With her help, the crate was quickly moved to the side, revealing a black, green patch of ground. She stepped on it, and the solid texture came from the soles of her feet.

"It's an iron plate."

Steven didn't feel dirty, he wiped it with his hands on his knees, and soon two holes the size of his nostrils appeared in the iron plate.

"There's a secret passage down there, and that's where the man and the woman entered."

"I don't have a handle, how do you open it?"

"I brought it, but I don't know if it's appropriate." Steven pulled out a homemade handle-like handle from his body and tried to stick it into the hole, "That's what the man used to pull the door up." ”

He is really a design genius, and with the measurement and analysis of the cave entrance that day, he actually made a tightly fitting handle.

The door opened, and judging from the feel and sound, the opening and closing frequency of this door was not high.

Steven hesitated for a moment as a diagonal staircase came into view, first lying on the ground and sticking his head inside to listen, then standing up.

"I didn't go down at that time, I didn't dare, but I felt that the place that made Shi Ran unremitted was below." He said embarrassedly.

"Could he have gone down from here too?"

"I don't know, but my gut tells me that the man and the woman must have something to do with him."

"But why did they walk in, but Shi Ran was in a garbage truck?" Chiba tilted her head sideways, puzzled by this detail that was easily overlooked.

"I guess the secrets should be down there."

Steven's voice lowered a single degree. With the blood-red sky of the sunset outside the warehouse, the two finally felt a trace of terror.

"Go down?" Steven asked, in fact, he wanted her to cheer herself up.

"Down, I've been in a deep well without a ladder, and there's nothing to be afraid of here."

Steven smiled knowingly, pleased with the willingness of his allies to take the risk together.

"Then I'll go ahead, you stay away, if something happens, turn around and run quickly, go to the police, you know?"

"The police are useless, so it's better to rely on yourself." After the kidnapping case, she completely believed the police's ineffective public opinion, "Since they came together, I won't leave alone." ”

"Okay, be bold and careful, let's go down together." Steven finished and stepped into one leg.

Go down the stairs and don't see your fingers. Chiba turned on the phone lighting, and it was still full of black, stairs, walls, and feet......

Finally walked to the flat ground, and a hanging heart settled down a little.

With the help of mobile phone lighting, the two walked through a dark passage and came to an open place.

It's a cave for cave explorers and a fascinating place for grave robbers. But for the intellectual workers of the two advertising agencies, the place was too frightening and unreal.

"Look, Director." She lifted up a black curtain - unless she touched it with her own hands, she couldn't have found the curtain hidden from the wall.

At the same time, Steven found a door on the other end.

The distance between the two was beyond visibility, and unexpectedly, they decided to explore the door that Steven had found.

When the door opened, a longer and deeper corridor was revealed, with the sound of water droppings, the sound of unknown machines running, similar to the turning of a car's wheels......

"Let's go, Director."

"Shhhh Steven suddenly became vigilant, like a cat hunched over to defend himself against the enemy.

Faintly, intermittently, a creepy sound drifted into the ears of the two men in those reverberations. The more they listened, the more palpitations became, and they couldn't tell what the sound was coming from.

"Looks like someone is there." Steven said.

Chiba closed her eyes and turned her attention to her ears.

I don't know if it was hinted at by Steven, but she did hear sounds that seemed to be *, neither onomatopoeia such as ah, ah, hey, nor concrete images such as pain, discomfort, and help, which are difficult to describe in words. Like a man and an animal, it is both distant and persistent, as if coming from a corner and corner in front of it.

"Check it out." She proposed.

"Let's go...... Hurry up, hurry! ”

Suddenly, Steven was terrified, because as she spoke, he heard footsteps in front of him.

The two of them evacuated as fast as they could, not daring to illuminate, so they could only find their way out of thin air in the darkness.

Chiba fell, and there was a sharp pain in her knee, but she kept holding back and didn't make a sound. She held the ground with her right hand, but it seemed to touch something, and subconsciously picked it up and held it in her hand, and fled with Steven.

Fortunately, the two escaped and did not breathe until they ran out of the warehouse, ran out of the factory area, ran out of the bushes, and sat back in the car.

When she opened her palm, her scalp was numb.

What I picked up in the panic was a sour horn.
