Chapter Eighty-Eight: Danger
He Chuan hung up Tang Huaihuai's phone neatly, and when he saw Cheng Hui staring at him, he said, "What's wrong, you've been staring at me all the time, and you've been fascinated by me?" β
Cheng Hui immediately turned his gaze away and whispered: "Narcissism." β
He Chuan smiled and didn't speak.
Cheng Hui didn't ask who called him, she guessed in her heart that it should be Tang Huaihuai.
But after knowing each other for so long, Cheng Hui really doesn't know how many women there are around him, and he has never seen him mention his relationship history before, but he has always cared about her, no matter what it is, it is better than Cheng Zhen to her.
After eating, I have to go back.
Cheng Hui ran to the bathroom and didn't come out.
He Chuan was also patient and waited in the aisle.
After another ten minutes, Cheng Hui finally came out of the bathroom, holding his stomach, his face was embarrassed, and said, "Why don't you go back first, I'll take a taxi back to school by myself." β
"I'll send you."
"It's not troublesome, your family and my school are not in the same direction, it's too inconvenient."
"Anyway, you've never been polite to me before. Grown up and know how to care about people? β
Cheng Hui felt that he was not saying good things, he was a little awkward, and he didn't want to talk to him.
In the end, she still got into He Chuan's car, and she was worried that she would not go back to school, but to him.
He Chuan said coldly: "Don't treat me as a beast, I didn't lose my mind, I will do you, don't be so far away from me." β
Cheng Hui pretended to look out the car window, when he didn't hear.
At night, there are still many students coming and going at the school gate, He Chuan sent her directly to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory, and his car is also considered to be the top match, appearing downstairs in the dormitory, attracting a lot of attention.
stopped the car, Cheng Hui opened the door and left, without saying goodbye to him.
He Chuan watched her walk into the dormitory building before driving away.
Cheng Hui returned to the dormitory, and her roommate went to bed to rest, so she hurriedly went to take a shower and changed her clothes and lay on the bed in a daze.
She didn't even hear her roommate ask her why she came back so late, and it took her roommate to shout several times before she heard it.
The roommate was still asleep, playing with her phone, and noticed her low tone and said, "What's wrong with you?" Got something upset? β
"No, not really."
"Say it and make me happy." The roommate joked.
Cheng Hui sighed, turned over, and said, "I'm sleepy, I'll sleep first." β
β¦β¦
A week later, while watching the TV news, Xingan saw a report of a local smuggling case, which mentioned the address in the nearby township of Cheng Jiu.
The people mentioned in the news include the fish head that Xin Gan had heard of, she didn't know about it, and Cheng Ji wouldn't tell her, she knew very little, and she had heard of the name of the fish head.
Seeing this news, Xin Gan tried to contact Cheng Jiu, but his mobile phone was still turned off and he couldn't get through.
It's already mid-November, and Cheng said he'll be back at the end of the year.
There are still several months, and Xin Gan feels that she can't wait, but she also has something at hand, and she can't leave, so she can't run to Beiyu at this time.
At the end of the year, there are many things to do in the studio, as well as things at home.
When Xin Gan was free, she went to Cheng's house to visit Mrs. Cheng, and when chatting, she mentioned Cheng Juan with some worry, and Mrs. Cheng comforted her: "At the end of the year, there are many things on his side, don't worry, it's okay." β
Xingan was still a little worried, deeply afraid that he would be in danger.
After all, I haven't been able to contact him for so long, and I don't know what happened to him.
Mrs. Cheng smiled and patted her on the shoulder, even if Mrs. Cheng was worried, she would not say anything bad to Xin Gan, but comforted her and said, "It's okay, don't think about it, he will naturally contact you when he is not busy." β
Mrs. Cheng didn't say anything, and Xin Gan didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore.
"How's your studio doing, okay?"
Xingan said: "Well, no problem, everything is going well. β
"It's good if it goes well, if there is anything difficult in the future, don't carry it alone, we will help you." Mrs. Cheng really treats her as her daughter, Cheng Hui will be at school, and gradually she will not go home, she has nothing to do alone, and she asks a few little sisters to go out for tea and shopping in her free time, and occasionally plays cards.
Xingan: "Thank you, Auntie, but I'm fine. β
"Are you still called Auntie?" Mrs. Cheng quipped.
"Mom......" Xin Gan was embarrassed to shout, but she and Cheng Yan had both obtained the certificate, and this "Mom" was always to be shouted.
"Good, that's good. When Cheng Zhen comes back, this house will be lively, you are giving birth to a few little dolls, and we will not worry about having nothing to do when we are old. β
The old man, anxious to hug his grandson, can understand.
It's just that there's no chance right now.
And what is the situation over there, they don't know anything about it from afar.
β¦β¦
A month ago, Cheng Yan secretly carried out the mission, and not many people knew about it, and there would be no problems according to the plan, but in the end, there was still a problem.
Their actions were known in advance by Ji Bai, Cheng Jiu and them were in the air, and they were calculated by Ji Bai and them, they were injured to varying degrees, and they were also arrested by Ji Bai's people.
Ji Bai's subordinates still have guns/guns/bullets/medicines on their bodies, and the firepower is particularly fierce, and they are all prepared, just waiting for Cheng Bai and them to jump into the pit.
Cheng Zhen also made a thousand calculations, and if they missed their actions, they would be betrayed.
Who are the five people, including him?
Several of them were separated and locked in the basement where they couldn't see their fingers, this is Ji Bai's territory, on the third day they were locked up, Ji Bai came, the basement was opened, and the dazzling light pierced them and they couldn't open their eyes, and it took a long time to recover.
Ji Bai came to the basement with someone, and when he saw Cheng Zhen who was tied to the wall, he smiled and said, "We met again, and we can be regarded as old friends, I didn't expect to meet again in this situation." β
The fake Ji Bai is a man, and the real Ji Bai pretends to be a subordinate standing with his head down on the side, trying to reduce his sense of existence.
The air in the basement, which has not been seen for many years, is filled with a damp musty smell, and people who have been here for a long time are prone to problems.
Cheng Jiu's face was colored, he hadn't drunk water for a few days, his lips were chapped, his throat was dry, and it was difficult to make a sound.
Ji Bai moved a chair to sit on and looked him up and down: "Look at it, you have to grab me and bite me like a dog, no, it's still planted in my hands, why should you bother, you have to have a good life, you have to trouble me." β
The others were quite calm and were not provoked by Ji Bai.
Cheng Yan didn't take Ji Bai into his eyes, he was planning the next step in his heart, since Ji Bai kept them and didn't want their lives, there may be other reasons, since this is the case, then they still have hope to win back this game.
"Why don't you speak, say something, aren't you very powerful? It's all specially trained, so I can't even do it with a few of my subordinates, and I have become a lost dog. β
Cheng Yan hooked his lips and stared at him coldly.
"Not convinced?" Ji Bai said, "If someone didn't want to spare your life, I would be the first to slaughter you, waste." β
As he spoke, Ji Bai slammed an elbow into his lower abdomen, Cheng Yan frowned in pain, his limbs were tied by ropes, and he couldn't move.
"You catch the head of the fish and don't stop, you have to kill it all, Cheng Zhen, I originally thought you were a man, and I didn't want to trouble you, who knew that you had to catch me and bite, don't blame me, those individuals who came with you will not be as lucky as you." Ji Bai slapped him on the face and said mockingly, "You wait, sooner or later, Lao Tzu will settle the account of the fish head with you little by little." β
β¦β¦
Cheng Jiu's worst fear still happened, according to Ji Bai's meaning, because someone had explained that he would not let him have an accident, and his teammates were not so lucky.
What is the situation with the others, Ji Bai sold Guanzi, and said with a mysterious smile: "Want to know?" I'm just going to tell you. β
In the next few days, someone brought him water to drink, but he was never given anything to eat, so that his physical strength was slowly consumed, and even if he was in good health, he could not bear the torture of not eating and only drinking water.
Moreover, the basement is damp and cold, and if you stay for a long time, you will have problems mentally and physically.
But it's okay for Cheng Jiu, he can still persevere, it's not that he hasn't had difficult training before, and if Staff Officer Meng can't contact them, they will definitely take action.
He's waiting for an opportunity.
β¦β¦
Jiang Tang came over overnight, and Ji Bai had been waiting for a long time.
"You're here, and I can't guarantee that the man will still be alive for you if it's too late."
Jiang Tang's face changed: "How is he?" β
"Yo, so worried?"
Jiang Tang steadied himself and said, "I said that I want him to be fine, and you promise me, otherwise I won't help you." β
"I know, so I said, you can't guarantee it later, it's okay now, you can go and see."
Ji Bai took her to see Cheng Jiu, he lowered his head, his hands and feet were tied to the wall, the surrounding environment was visible to the naked eye, Jiang Tang was also startled, and hurriedly went up to probe Cheng Jiu's snort.
Fortunately, there is still gas.
Just unconscious.
Ji Bai crossed his arms and said with a smile: "I can't see it, you are so affectionate, you like him so much?" β
"You don't have to worry about it, just give me people."
"I didn't say no, what's the hurry, he can't die now, he's so strong, it's just that I haven't fed him for the past few days, slowly consuming his physical strength, before you come, give him an injection and let him rest, don't worry."
Jiang Tang didn't dare to wake Cheng Zhen up, and after confirming that he was unconscious, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm going to take him away now." β
Ji Bai said: "Where are you going to take him?" Kindness? β
"You can go anywhere, you can't stay here, no matter what he says, he's a human being, and if he doesn't eat or drink, something will really happen."
"Yes, I can still send someone to send you, but Miss Jiang, what about after you go out, what will you do when he recovers?"
Jiang Tang bit her lip, she had thought about it, she didn't need Ji Bai to care, "This is my plan, it's none of your business." β
Ji Bai said: "Everyone is a grasshopper on the same boat, what else do you and me, or, you and him will stay, let's do it together, change places, Beiyu can't stay anymore, go abroad, Malay, Burmese shop, it's okay." β
There are many gray areas in this kind of place.
Hearing what Ji Bai meant, she wanted both of them to stay and not leave.
Jiang Tang bit his lip stiffly: "This is different from what we said, I didn't promise you to stay, do you want to regret it?" β
"Miss Jiang, you are so naΓ―ve, my Ji Bai can get mixed up today, but it is in vain? I can find you, you don't want to think about it, my power? β
Jiang Tang clenched her fingers, she didn't feel pain when her nails sank into her palms, she knew better than anyone else about the situation at this time, she was on Ji Bai's territory, if she disobeyed Ji Bai's intentions, she was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to leave, let alone take Cheng Yan with her.
"Miss Ji, you didn't plan to cooperate with me sincerely from the beginning, are you using me?"
Ji Bai was noncommittal, and shrugged his shoulders: "Alas, people who have lost their minds in love, this is also a lesson for you, who made me fall in love with your good looks, he caught a lot of my brothers, and also took my boss to the end, I ran out with a lot of effort, and he didn't let me go, I have suffered a lot, I can't let him go back safely, it's too cheap for him." β
"But he's not going to stay, he's not the one who comes down this path."
"Then let him become a bad guy like us." Ji Bai clapped his hands, and someone walked in from the outside, holding a needle in his hand.
Ji Bai said: "Let him become our person, and you can have him openly." β
"I don't need you to do this, he's mine too."
"Miss Jiang, are you still deceiving yourself, think I'm stupid? I'm not going to find someone to investigate him? He's married, but he doesn't belong to you. β
Jiang Tang endured, "Ji Bai, I don't agree. β
"Who are you negotiating with, with a criminal? You know, your superiors know about your cooperation with me, and you can't run away. β
Jiang Tang knows those disciplinary provisions better than anyone else, and the crimes she committed are not so light, if they are really leaked, the rest of her life will be ruined.
What Ji Bai said makes sense, let Cheng Ji become a person like her, and it can only be her in the future, they can only rely on each other.
Ji Bai looked at Jiang Tang's expression, and immediately understood, and smiled happily, "Miss Jiang, or you will take the first shot." The blood vessels on this man's arm are obvious, and they are too easy to find, so I believe you will have no difficulty in operating them. β
The cold needle was placed in Jiang Tang's hand, Ji Bai and her subordinates were watching, still urging her to hurry up, and Cheng Zhen would wake up later.
Jiang Tang held the needle and didn't move for a long time, she looked at Cheng Ji and whispered: "Cheng Ji, don't hate me, I can't help it, who made you so cruel to me, I didn't do anything wrong, I can only blame you for not liking me." β
"Cheng Jiu, forgive me. I can't get it, and no one else can get it. β
β¦β¦
It was raining lightly this day, and Xin Gan was so tired in the studio that she fell asleep unconsciously, she was so tired that she was awakened by a nightmare not long after.
I was sweating and my heart was pounding, which was very abnormal.
She took her phone and looked, it was late at night, and she was the only one left in the studio.
She closed the curtains and sat back in her seat with a glass of water, and it took a long time for her to recover.
She doesn't know what's going on lately, she has frequent nightmares, and Cheng Yan hasn't heard from her for a long time, so she can't contact him at all.
Thinking of the nightmares she had during this time, she had bad feelings, but she didn't know what caused this feeling, and she felt irritable.
Or, go to Beiyu again.
Unable to contact him, she felt uneasy.
But if you really want to go, how do you explain it to your family?
Say she's not at ease?
What if the family thinks she is too distracted and doesn't approve of her going?
β¦β¦
A few days later, Mrs. Cheng called Xin Gan to accompany her to a dinner, which was the bureau of several broad groups.
Among them is Mrs. He.
Mrs. He hasn't seen Xin Gan for a while, and when she meets again, she is already the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family.
It's mainly because of He Cheng's business.
Xin Gan maintained the politeness of interpersonal relations and greeted Mrs. He.
Now that Xin Gan took the initiative to say hello, Mrs. He couldn't help but give face, and reluctantly smiled, saying, "Long time no see, Xin Gan, you are more beautiful than before, and you are indeed the eighteenth change of the female university." β
Xin Gan smiled: "Aunt He is polite." β
The other Mrs. Kuotai were chatting with Mrs. Cheng and asking for good news.
said when did she have such a beautiful daughter-in-law, there was no rumor at all, and the wedding didn't happen, right?
Mrs. Cheng smiled and explained to them, you come and go, and Mrs. He was left out in the cold.
Mrs. He was in a bad mood, and when she heard the chat between them on the side, she was even more congested.
Mrs. Cheng said: "The wedding of my son and daughter-in-law is scheduled for the end of the year, and I will send invitations to a few people at that time. β
Several Kuotai agreed and said yes.
Someone suddenly looked at Mrs. He and said, "I heard that the eldest son of the He family and Mrs. Cheng's son have a very good relationship, and Mrs. Cheng's son will be married, why is there no news from the eldest son of the He family?" Do you want me to introduce it here? β
Mrs. He smiled politely on her face, and shirked and said: "My son is not in a hurry, he is busy with the company's affairs every day, where does he have time to talk about girlfriends, when he is not busy, there is no hurry to find it." β
"Although it is said that career is the most important, but Mrs. He, aren't you in a hurry to hold your grandson?"
"I'm in a hurry, and I can't force my son to find a girlfriend, this emotional thing can't be rushed."
Mrs. He shirked everything, and everyone just asked casually.
One of the ladies brought her daughter, and the lady's daughter was fifteen or sixteen years old, and she kept her head down to play with her mobile phone since she came in, and she didn't shout, she was very rude, and was reprimanded by her mother in a low voice, and the little girl immediately pouted and said: "I don't want to come, you have to ask me to come, I was going to pick up my idol tonight, but I can't go down, you still scold me." β
"What idols are not idols, you are still young, what are you willing to do with all that mess."
"It's just chasing stars, what a mess, you are."
"You bring your phone, you are not allowed to play."
The little girl was unhappy and got into an argument with her mother.
It also attracted the attention of other people, and now the big guys all looked over.
Xingan also looked at it.
Mrs. Cheng patted Xin Gan's hand and whispered to her: "That girl didn't study well, she was chasing stars, she didn't want to go to school, she watched it with her mobile phone every day, and the little star she chased was He Cheng." β
The attention at the dinner table was focused on the mother and daughter, and no one noticed what Mrs. Cheng said to Xin Gan.
And Mrs. He noticed that she was more sensitive, and the topic was star-chasing, and she soon thought of her son He Cheng.
