Chapter 146: Going to the Appointment
"Huhu
In the darkness of the night, I sat up from the bed suddenly, clutched my chest, gasped for air, and reached my back, only to find that I was covered in cold sweat.
"What's wrong?" Tang Tianqi, who was sleeping next to me, was awakened by my actions, he quickly sat up, hugged me, and asked with concern.
"I'm having nightmares." I snuggled in Tang Tianqi's arms, stretched out a finger and rubbed my head: "I dreamed of Lu Qingtian's old guy again." β
"Don't panic, don't panic, I'm here." Tang Tianqi hugged me a little harder.
Lying in Tang Tianqi's arms and feeling the familiar smell on his body, my heart gradually calmed down.
It has been five days since the day when Gu Fengyan and I were held hostage by Lu Qingtian, and our life has been peaceful in the past five days, and Lu Qingtian has not secretly made trouble, but the more this happens, the more uneasy I become.
Because you never know when Lu Qingtian, an old poisonous snake, will jump out and bite you.
Like this nightmare today, I've done it five times in a row.
"Sleep, if he dares to come, won't I still have me to protect you?"
Hearing Tang Tianqi's words, my eyes couldn't help but soften a little, I nodded lightly and lay back on the bed.
But this sleep is destined to be unable to sleep.
We still lived in the room next to the company, and I remember one of our neighbors had a dog, and now, he barked like crazy.
I sat up again.
"Is there a thief?" I had some inexplicable foreboding in my heart.
"I don't know." Tang Tianqi shook his head, his somewhat worried eyes gradually condensed, and he turned over and got out of bed.
"You wait here, I'll go out and have a look."
As he spoke, Tang Tianqi casually took a heavy book from the table and walked towards the door.
I couldn't let go of Tang Tianqi in my heart, and not long after he left, I got up and followed.
When I came to the door, I saw Tang Tianqi with his head down, his eyes were solemn, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand.
"Show me!" I raised my eyebrows, didn't talk nonsense with Tang Tianqi, stretched out my hand, and said bluntly.
"Nothing." Tang Tianqi pretended to smile lightly.
Only if I can believe in you can I have a ghost!
I glared at Tang Tianqi viciously, and the more he wouldn't let me look at it, the more I knew that something must have happened.
I reached behind Tang Tianqi and forcibly snatched the thing in his hand, and as soon as I got it, I looked down and saw that it was a letter.
My brow couldn't help but furrow even tighter, in the years when the information network was all over the world, who else would use the primitive way of letters?
Very suspicious!
So in front of Tang Tianqi, I opened the envelope in my hand, snatched the flashlight from Tang Tianqi's hand, and shone it up.
My heart pounded.
Because the first thing I noticed at first glance was the signing of this letter, and his name was Lu Qingtian!
Sure enough, what should come is always coming.
I looked upwards, and when I did, I fell into a deep silence.
I handed the letter to Tang Tianqi, and after he read it, the two of us looked at each other and were speechless.
"Go, or not." I asked Tang Tianqi for his opinion.
The content of the letter was very simple, and in it, Lu Qingtian said in an extremely arrogant tone, if we don't want to be scared anymore, then obediently go to the United States to find him, otherwise, he will secretly attack us from time to time.
"I don't know." After being silent for a while, Tang Tianqi shook his head: "It's hard for me to make this decision, because listening to his words is no different from going to death." β
Hearing Tang Tianqi's words, I sighed softly, yes, since Lu Qingtian dared to say this, then he must have laid a trap in the United States, waiting for us to take the bait, but if he doesn't go, he can only be scared all day long......
After thinking about it and thinking about it, I suddenly said coldly.
"I think, let's go, if we retreat, Lu Qingtian is in the dark and we are in the light, no matter what he wants to do to us, we can't take precautions in time, instead of being like this, being scared all day long, it's better to go over and meet him directly, maybe there is still some vitality in this way."
Listening to my words, Tang Tianqi pondered for a while, and seemed to think that what I said was reasonable, but he still did not agree to my proposal, seeing Tang Tianqi's appearance, my heart warmed, because I knew that he was worried about me.
"Alright, alright." I patted Tang Tianqi's face: "It's a big deal, let's go together this time, then it's always okay, even if it ...... in case"
I gritted my teeth and hesitated for a moment, finally telling the worst, but most likely, outcome.
"In case something happens to us, the two of us can also be a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks, can't we?"
After speaking, I looked at Tang Tianqi in a daze, and my eyes were unprecedentedly gentle.
Hearing my words, Tang Tianqi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, he hugged me and laughed.
"Yes, instead of being scared here all day long, it's better to walk on it with a big grin, even if you die, you can die together!"
......
Disturbed by Lu Qingtian's letter, we were not in the mood to sleep at all, we sat on the bed and waited quietly for dawn before going to prepare something.
To put it mildly, we're going to prepare for the future.
Didn't go to the company, Tang Tianqi and I first went back to the Tang family compound and visited Xiaorou, for this child, I was full of guilt, since she was born, I haven't done much of the responsibility that a mother should have.
Taking Xiao Rou from Tang Yun's arms, I gently touched her face and whispered in her ear.
"If this time, Mom can come back safely, and I won't leave you in the future."
Tang Yun's ears are very good, she heard my words, and instantly noticed that something was wrong, she opened her mouth and just wanted to say something, but was pulled away by Tang Tianqi.
As soon as Tang Yun's front foot was pulled away by Tang Tianqi, Tang Wenxuan's back foot walked out, and his tone was a little serious.
"Tianqi has already told me what happened." At this time, Tang Wenxuan also had to let go of his prejudice against me: "I am very disappointed in Lu Qingtian, an old friend, I never thought that he would do such a crazy thing, speaking like this, I, as a father, also have part of the responsibility." β
As he spoke, Tang Wenxuan took out a business card with only a phone number from his arms, handed it to me, and said to me.
"I'm an old bone this year, and I can't go with you, that kid from Tianqi is too impatient, I don't worry, so I give you this phone number, and when you get to the United States, you call him, and he says that I gave it to you, and then, he will help you arrange everything."
After saying this, Tang Wenxuan turned his back and left slowly.
I pinched the business card in my hand, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but outline a smile, and the mustard for Tang Wenxuan in my heart was already a little less.
"It turns out that he will also care about me." I muttered to myself.
......
After seeing Xiaorou's face, we went back to the Tang Group, after all, no matter how much we do it, it is impossible for the company's side to be left behind.
After explaining some of the matters and handing over the company's power to Tang Tianqi's henchmen, we took the journey to the United States.
Along the way, Tang Tianqi kept asking me this question repeatedly.
"Are you nervous?"
And my answer will always be the same: "As long as you are there, I am not afraid of anything." β
In this tone of almost mutual comfort, three days later, we finally arrived at the address that Lu Qingtian gave us - Los Angeles.
We went to the appointment this time, of course, not unprepared, but even if we were prepared, it was not much better, and because of this, when we got off the plane, the accident happened.
As soon as I got out of the airport, before I could call the phone number Tang Wenxuan gave me, Tang Tianqi's life and I were mortally threatened!
Bang!
A crisp gunshot suddenly appeared in the crowd, although it didn't hit anyone, but I just had an intuition that this gunshot was chasing us!
And that's exactly what happened!
Thinking about it, I grabbed Tang Tianqi's hand and got into the crowd without looking back, because I expected that as long as there were many people, they would definitely have scruples.
But it turns out that I am still too naΓ―ve!
The sound of that gunshot was like an eye, and they chased us wherever we ran, even ignoring the people around us, and the good machine guns hit the innocent people next to us!
Seeing this, in addition to feeling ridiculous about Lu Qingtian's madness, I felt more guilty about these innocent people who were hurt because of us.
But soon, I realized how cheap my guilt was.
Gradually, the innocent people on the road noticed us two strangers, and soon they realized that the gunshots were coming after us, and then they made a very ruthless gesture - everyone stepped aside, completely exposing our figures to their field of vision, and finally stared at us coldly.
But I can completely understand their approach, after all, people are selfish, and I didn't have time to sigh anything, so I grabbed Tang Tianqi's hand and walked quickly through the streets.
But it's not that simple!
Just when we hid in the corner and thought we were safe, a few big men with guns came out of the street in front of us!
"Hell!" was stunned by Tang Tianqi's cultivation, and at this moment, he couldn't help but burst into foul language.
Looking at their menacing appearance, I knew that they were going to arrest us, whether they lived or died!
