Chapter 19: Trapping (1)

There will never be a truth in the world in your eyes, only mysteries that can never be solved.

In the darkness, the air around me seemed to flow gently from my fingertips, and I couldn't remember how long this darkness lasted, and I couldn't even tell if I was in a dream or back in the past.

A glimmer of light finally pierced through the darkness, as dazzling as dawn.

"Hey, what are you doing? Don't lie down and play dead, get up. Xinrui's voice was mixed with a faint scent of gardenias.

"Hmm~~ just let me sleep a little longer." I lazy in bed enjoying the warmth of the morning sun.

"Do you want a recruit to miss the train on his first day of enlistment because he was late?" Xinrui helped me tidy up my brand new military uniform by the bedside.

I suddenly realized that I got up from the bed, today is the first day of enlistment, if I miss it, I will definitely be ridiculed by Liu Yi, and I will never see my hometown father again.

"It's a shame that you have a rare last day of appointment, but you slept like a dead pig and went to the army to see the instructor clean you up." Xin Rui picked up the tidied military uniform, and I reached through the sleeve of my shirt.

"Where there is you, it is home, and when I become a soldier and then I am admitted to the military academy, you will be a military wife in the future." When I was younger, I yelled triumphantly.

"Military wife? I don't want it, it sounds so old. Xinrui pouted and refused.

"Then whatever you want, you can call whatever you want, and I will listen to you when I go home in the future." At that time, I was so young, but I didn't know that the gears of fate never stopped for someone.

"If one day you and Liu Yi really go to the battlefield, who sacrifices, you may regret it?" Xinrui stared at me with that meaningful look.

"How is it possible, how can he sacrifice with me, the thugs in the place where I have been since I was a child don't dare to haunt, and they will be scared to death when they encounter enemies in the future."

"But now do you regret it?" Xinrui suddenly disappeared from my eyes, everything around me was rapidly collapsing, and the darkness was like a vortex that drew me from my hallucination deeper into the abyss, only Xinrui's voice still echoed in my ears.

"Do you regret it?"

"Do you regret it?"

What if everything went back to the way it was?

What about the good old days?

Do I regret it? I do not know.

I don't know anything.

If my life is a book, maybe I am not the one who holds the pen and writes, but I am just the pen in that hand.

"If that's the case, then you must be brave enough to spill the ink on the tip of the pen." Xinrui's last voice still reverberates.

I will, I will...

A glare seemed to pull me back from my endless dreams, and the morning breeze poured in through the windows, blowing away the smell of alcohol that filled the room. I wore a familiar brown coat with a faint lavender smell at the neckline, and a strange and familiar figure opened the curtains on both sides on tiptoe in the morning light, and the sun poured in with some warm colors and reflected in her slightly messy hair. She smiled and turned her head to face me, Xinrui? I raised my wrist and couldn't help but feel that the light was a little dazzling, the knife under my wrist and the coat on my body slipped off at the same time, and she and I reached out to grab the falling coat at the same time, but inadvertently touched the fingertips.

"Who's Xinrui?" Li Xiaoai's faint voice must have been called by her name in my sleep.

I struggled to block out the glare and constrict my pupils, focusing my eyes on the person in front of me.

"My..." girlfriend? Fiancee? The mother of the daughter? I can't seem to fully express how she feels like a mark in my heart at this moment.

"Yours?" Li Xiaoai tilted her head slightly and looked a little playful, her eyes flashed with a strange light, and then asked.

"Nothing." The sun was dazzling, and the smell of alcohol in the room had faded a lot, so I got up and returned my coat to her, then picked up the dinner knife on the floor and put it back on the coffee table, "Thanks, what time is it?" ”

She didn't say a word, but stood in front of the window and stared at me, her eyes still questioning. But just for a moment, she turned around and stretched lazily, "Hmm~"

I glanced at the time on my phone, "It's past nine o'clock, don't you have to go to the office?" ”

"Whether you go to the company or not, maybe the result is the same, what should be passed away must be gone, and you can't keep it." Li Xiaoai sat on the edge of the bed, looking up at me with the same cold eyes, "Was what happened last night just an accident?" ”

My eyes widened, and she remembered everything that had happened downstairs in her hotel apartment, "You remember?" ”

"A little vague memory," Li Xiaoai didn't look away, "what do you think?" ”

I shook my head, "Of course not. ”

"In fact, I was busy during this time not only because of the affairs within the Aikang Group, those trivial matters had nothing to do with me in the first place, the company was not mine, and even the position was temporarily placed, because no one wanted to stay in that building." "I just want to know what's going on." ”

“…”

"But I never knew who to ask, or even who to trust." Li Xiaoai curled the corners of her mouth as if laughing at herself, "I almost died twice in such a short period of time, although it doesn't seem to be a big deal, it's more like an accident." ”

"It does look like an accident."

"But both times you almost died with me." Li Xiaoai showed that sad and helpless expression, and there was a trace of fear in her eyes, "But, why?" ”

"What, why?" I do not quite understand.

"Why kill me, what's the point, and go to great lengths to create these accidents?" For fear, Li Xiaoai was extremely calm, and her thoughts were also very clear.

"It looks like an accident, maybe it's not so easy to follow the evidence down, right? Nor will it reveal who the murderer is. I guessed.

"Murder and homicide are different, the same is the investigation and solving of cases, the country with the highest detection rate in the world is Japan, and according to statistics, the detection rate is just 60 percent. In other words, it is still quite difficult for most cases to be solved. For an honor student like Li Xiaoai, the case that originally seemed emotional was taken by her with a bunch of data to prove her own situation.

In fact, in the past month, I have hardly had much verbal communication with Li Xiaoai except for a simple greeting, and more often than not, I am like her shadow behind her, watching everything around her.

"Why? Did I know something I shouldn't know? As if awakened, Li Xiaoai threw me a look to be confirmed.

"Maybe, that's still up to you."

"Won't I be able to go back to where I live from now on?" She frowned, and finally began to feel a little scared.

In my mind, she could even cancel her return to the Aikang Group's building, let alone return to her own residence, "I think you should consider living in a different place, if you have other accommodations." ”

"But..."

"What?"

"So they'll let me go?" Li Xiaoai seemed to see at a glance the deeper danger hidden behind the matter, and she had already suffered this accident before she could figure out why, how could the person hiding in the shadows and trying to take her life let her go?

In fact, in this situation, it can be quite stressful to want to protect a person.

"Maybe we need to meet with Lao Di and Dong Jian first and sort out some things." I was just about to take out my mobile phone, but the phone happened to ring, and Dong Jian called. "I was about to call you."

"What? You're going to call me, what's wrong? Dong Jian shouted on the other end of the phone.

"There's something to discuss, is Lao Di here?"

"Here, we also have something to tell you, if Li Xiaoai has nothing to do, you can go back to the company first, anyway, it's close to go back and forth." Dong Jian thought that at this point, Li Xiaoai and I were in Aikang's office building as usual.
