Chapter 174: Fear
Locust raised an eyebrow, expecting to be able to see something from the boss's face, but now he realized that he couldn't see through the woman.
The proprietress stood up, her figure looked very thin in the evening breeze, like a weightless shadow, which could be blown away by the evening breeze anytime and anywhere. At this time, in the midst of the heat wave, a slightly cold evening breeze blew, and the treetops made a hoarse sound, and the locusts thought for a moment that they were many years ago.
The locusts were so disgusting that they wanted to vomit. He hooked up with this boss lady who didn't know how old he was and played dumb riddles for a long time, but he was afraid that he didn't vomit out the overnight meal.
"Stop playing pantomimes." The locust stared straight at the proprietress of the lady, this charming woman still exuded the smell of hormones all over her body, if the locust was more than ten years younger, maybe it was really going to be on the road.
"You were sent by those two slivers." The locust's gaze was cold, like an icy ray, sweeping back and forth on the proprietress body.
The proprietress smiled and stood still in the wind, tied the ends of her hair with her hands, and her eyes were no longer warm, after all, she was a fool of words, not so naΓ―ve.
"How do you know?" The proprietress asked coldly.
The locust stood up, walked quickly to the depth of the proprietress and made a quick move, grabbed the proprietress wrist violently, and a blood-red mark was like a ring lock on the proprietress wrist, a red scar.
The proprietress smiled lightly and withdrew her hand.
"It looks like five big and three thick, but I didn't expect your heart to be very fine." The proprietress cast an admiring gaze, glancing over the muscular arm of the locust.
The locust snorted coldly.
"If you don't have a fine heart, you don't even have bones left, how can you live until now."
The proprietress laughed, and the locusts laughed too. The two looked at each other, and there was more of a kind of sympathy in their disdainful eyes, but this kind of sympathy was more of a kind of sympathetic identification.
They laughed until they could barely move, and then they regained their calm and indifference.
The proprietress looked at the locust for a long time, sighed, and pursed her lips: "It's a pity that although you guessed half of it, you guessed the other half wrong." β
"The other half?" The locust's eyebrows were tense, and he guarded against every move of this cunning woman, and the muscles on his body were pulled, like a beast that had tightened its muscles and bones, ready to attack.
"You're right, they did ask me to find some bad information. This is a condition of exchange, if I don't agree, I'm afraid I won't come back smoothly Of course, there are also reckless men who don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. β
As she spoke, the proprietress raised her wrist, and there was a hot red mark on her white jade-like skin, which looked like it was indeed done by a "reckless man".
"So you agreed?" The locust raises its eyebrows.
"Promised." The hostess replied easily. "You also know, I'm a weak woman, if I don't promise them, who knows if I will be torn to pieces."
Weak woman? The locust almost didn't spit out a mouthful of phlegm. A woman who stood in the trench, a woman who was more cunning than a fox, sold the image of a "weak woman" in herself, and the locust laughed out loud.
"Anyway, I did say yes. Said it was the police, who knows what is really under the skin. The proprietress blinked and said, "But promise is promised, who is the old lady?" β
"They may not be able to figure it out. No matter how weak I am, I'm not the number one in this place? If you want to catch it, you can catch it, let me put it away, let me exchange the survival of the organization, will I? β
The locust didn't say anything, he watched the boss's every move intently, for fear that she would make any abnormal moves, and he already had it in his hand
Ready.
"So you want to say that you're just verbally agreeing?" The locust asked, squinting.
"Of course. I am dedicated to the sake of the trap, how many years of organization I have cultivated, will I not know in my heart? Do they think that simple coercion and temptation can make the old lady submit? Joke, the old lady is not a hairy thief. β
The proprietress smiled, yawned suddenly, stretched, and looked a little tired.
"It's not early, it's time to go to bed. Brother Locust, if you see Brother Li Yi, you might as well tell him, don't look for this person, I also want him to make suggestions and discuss with us how to meet the enemy. β
As she spoke, the proprietress twisted her waist step by step, ready to go back to the courtyard behind the ballroom to rest for a while, she was sleepy, yawned a few times along the way, and finally reached the door.
When she turned around, the proprietress didn't see the locusts blocking her, so she smiled slightly. The locust smiled at her, too, but this time the smile was noticeably more natural, different from the fake disgusting smile at the beginning.
But the proprietress was a little stunned. Her mind fluctuated a little, her chest, her heart, began to beat violently, and even goosebumps rose.
Her hand was on the doorknob, and she suddenly had a violent premonition.
The locusts are still laughing.
She didn't dare open the door, and her throat was dry, and she wanted to run with her feet, but her legs seemed to be stuck in the mud, and she couldn't move. This feeling, like a mouse being targeted by a natural predator, seems to come from instinct.
"Run."
In the consciousness of the proprietress there are only these two words, but she failed to do so.
She didn't know how long she had been holding on to the round doorknob, but when she could react, the door opened.
But the proprietress could be sure that she had not used a single penny of force, and her hands were already stiff.
The squeak is so long and quiet. Once again, the proprietress realized that the world here was a little lost, and the tranquility everywhere seemed unusual.
The door opened.
The proprietress turned pale, she was so exhausted that she almost fell limply.
"Oh? Why don't you come in? Lady, aren't you tired? β
Ordinary tone.
Ordinary attitude.
Just unusual people.
The proprietress pupils contracted suddenly, and after a moment they opened wide.
"Haven't you been looking for me, lady?" The voice is elegant and subtle, and the attitude is modest and polite.
If you don't know his true identity, I'm afraid you will think that he is a scholar or a musician. But who he is, the proprietress knows in her heart.
Is there really a number?
The proprietress began to question her own cognition at this time, maybe she couldn't see through this man Li Yi at all. opened the door for her, Li Yi's posture was thin, like the host welcoming guests, gently opened the wooden door, stretched out a hand, and grabbed the wrist of the proprietress.
His palm was light and gentle, like a soft and glutinous towel, covering the wrist of the proprietress with a soft and glutinous towel. There was also a red mark on this wrist, Li Yi touched it, and his eyebrows wrinkled.
"Rude." After saying two words, he gently dragged the proprietress into the house, and without much effort, she just staggered irresistibly to the house.
Li Yi didn't say a word, stepped on a pair of beach flip-flops, and changed into a white casual shirt on his body, looking no different from a tourist who came to the beach for a vacation.
He dragged the proprietress into the house, didn't know where to dig out a box of medicine boxes, and simply took out a few bottles and cans. The proprietress looked over carefully, there was safflower oil, wine
fine, disinfectant water, iodine and bandages.
"Live bruises need to be heated." Li Yi's fingertips were lightly dipped in disinfectant, and his palms were soaked, and he quickly rubbed his palms and soaked them cleanly.
"Looks like you've suffered a lot?" While placing alcohol and candlesticks, Li Yi said intentionally or unintentionally. At this time, the proprietress only felt an invisible magic, which not only pushed herself to follow closely behind Li Yi, like a little girl who was not deeply involved in the world, but also made her irresistible.
But the instinctive fear and shock have not gone away.
She nodded, and Li Yi squeezed out a kind smile.
He picked up a bouquet between his two fingers and quickly tapped it on the candlestick, the tips of his fingers burning like a fire, and the blue-brown flames burned like magic.
As soon as the proprietress wanted to exclaim, she felt two diametrically opposed touches appear on her wrist.
First of all, the unique coldness and smell diffused on his bruised wounds, and it hurt hotly.
Immediately after, Li Yi's fingers quickly missed her wrist, and the flame head also rolled up the proprietress's wrist, and after a while, most of the redness on the proprietress disappeared in a circle, and the coldness and pain were less, and there was more of a warm and soft touch.
She was about to ask a question, but Li Yi preemptively said.
"It takes temperature and alcohol to get rid of stasis." He ordered a few more bunches, and successively scrubbed vigorously on the root of the boss's arm, the ligaments and bone joints of the wrist, and the pain disappeared completely after a while.
When giving her safflower oil, Li Yi smiled and said: "Each family has its own difficulties, boss lady, it's hard work." β
When the proprietress subconsciously replied "nothing", Li Yi sighed heavily.
"You...... What do you sigh for? The proprietress asked with a little fear on her face, and even more stammered when she spoke.
"I'm sighing for you, alas." Li Yi shook his head. "You've done a lot of things for you, but I didn't expect you to suffer like this, it's so sorry for you."
The proprietress didn't expect Li Yi to become so polite. She even felt that her fear was a faux pas, and her cheeks were a little embarrassed, and she withdrew her hand awkwardly.
"That's not true, those two are police officers after all, so they won't embarrass me so much. You see, I'm not back? β
Li Yi's eyes widened and he looked at the proprietress .
"Really?" He stood up with a smile, one by one, slowly put the bottles and cans in his hand into the drawer, put them away, and walked a few steps on the wooden floor, and suddenly stopped.
"But that's not what I mean." Li Yi said: "Boss, you have been looking for me, is there something wrong?" β
The proprietress was so worried that she didn't dare to answer.
"You don't have to rush to answer." Li Yi seemed to have seen through the boss's wife. "I studied psychology for a while in the early years, and I wasn't very good at it, but I still have some confidence in looking at people. Tell me, I'm right. β
The proprietress lowered her head, her hair trembling, but she didn't make a sound.
"The two police officers asked you to come to me to confirm some strange things, but you didn't agree." Li Yi narrowed his eyes and asked.
The proprietress looked at Li Yi cautiously and nodded slowly.
"Of course you don't, no one is stupid enough to betray the organization that they have worked hard for many years for such a small profit, you know, even if you enter the bureau, the organization has many ways to get you out, there is no fatal evidence, and at most you will squat in the class room for two years. You know that, too. β
The proprietress was relieved and said, "That's right. I don't have to ......."
"Unless......" Li Yi didn't let the proprietress continue. Unless the organization is no longer your own. β
