At six o'clock and five o'clock in the morning, before the alarm clock went off, An Xiaoxi was woken up by an unfamiliar phone number.

"Congratulations, Boss An."

The voice seemed familiar, but I couldn't tell who it was.

Half-asleep and half-awake, An Xiaoxi's consciousness was not fully awake.

"Hello? Who are you? ”

Unexpectedly, this sentence was exchanged for a burst of laughter from the other party.

"Forgot about me so soon? Sure enough, the nobles are forgetful. You used to remember everything about me clearly, like my favorite soufflé, and you would always buy me a few after work. How? Forgot? ”

Memories are awakened, and images of the past resurface. Even if this person turned to ashes, she knew it.

"Chen Hansheng!"

An Xiaoxi bounced up from the bed, sleepy. The last time he tortured him with Qiao Wenhan in the black boat, he disappeared without a trace. Qiao Wenhan finally heard something from his mouth, An Xiaoxi didn't know.

Later, it was learned that he was bribed by Anna and was an accomplice in the "Guozhao" incident. The culprit who discredited An Xiaoxi and the Qiao family.

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

An Xiaoxi hurriedly sorted out his thoughts, stabilized Chen Hansheng, and wanted to get some news from Chen Hansheng before Qiao Wenhan got the news.

Qiao Wenhan deliberately concealed it from her, so she wanted to know.

Although Qiao Wenhan's handsome face flashed in his mind at the same time, he yelled at her "idiot", and he couldn't care so much.

"Boss An, ah no, it should be Mr. An, willing to appreciate his face, I still have some good goods here, the media should be very interested......"

Threatening her? Attaboy.

didn't love him in vain, if this scumbag doesn't get rid of it for a day, he will definitely keep threatening him with things from the past. That first love, which was neither long nor short, met the most despicable man, An Xiaoxi had already thought of the hot topic of netizens and crazy topics in the media.

You can't let things get to that point.

"Okay, when are you free, let's make an appointment."

The place An Xiaoxi is fixed, the time is set by Chen Hansheng, and two days later at the Fangyuan Hotel in the south of the city, Chen Hansheng has the goods, and let An Xiaoxi redeem it with one million.

"Then we'll see you there, Mr. An."

The rogue tone of Chen Hansheng's logo, every word can make An Xiaoxi's liver surge.

When I hung up the phone, I felt a sense of anger, fear, and powerlessness. The bits and pieces of getting along in the past have resurfaced and are vivid. Those who fed the youth of the dogs gave the scumbags who were inferior to the pigs and dogs.

Ran into the bathroom and cried, An Xiaoxi turned on the sprinkler, she hated to hear her cowardly cry, accompanied by the sound of water, to hide her inner unwillingness and resentment.

An Xiaoxi was wearing clothes and flushing water against the sprinkler, rubbing her lips desperately, that was the only place Chen Hansheng had touched back then, she was disgusted, hated, and desperately washed away the marks of the past.

The lips were scraped, oozing blood, and washed down the drain with the current. The stamina of memory is very strong, and it will not disappear so easily.

Ah, this scumbag, I wish he was completely gone.

……

"How's it going?"

"I did as you said, don't forget my money."

"Don't worry, I'll put it at your doorstep as soon as it's done."

Chen Hansheng hung up the phone with satisfaction, where did he still have any "inventory" of An Xiaoxi's past. It was already deleted by Qiao Wenhan, and the mobile phone was smashed.

He did this just to take advantage of his ex-boyfriend status and make some more money.

There will definitely be no money from An Xiaoxi, but there is a big buyer who takes the initiative to find him, and as long as he cooperates with the acting, he can get a remuneration.

One phone call and that's half a million. Such a good thing cannot be encountered with a lantern. Chen Hansheng, who owes a lot of gambling debts, found a life-saving straw.

……

After changing her clothes, shoes and socks, An Xiaoxi took a bus to the Yuan Hotel in the south of the city. It was an old guest house built in the 80s of the last century.

The interior is dilapidated, and there are only two fat aunts on duty at the front desk. Anyone staying at the hotel can register without an ID card, as long as they fill in an ID number.

An Xiaoxi filled in the information randomly, and walked along the greasy and dark staircase, through the dim corridor lamp, to the room that Chen Hansheng said.

There was a knock on the door, but there was no sound.

An Xiaoxi stood outside the door and coughed softly, but there was still no reaction inside.

"It's me, open the door."

Still no reply. An Xiaoxi looked at the room number several times repeatedly, and it was indeed true, 303. Then he pressed his face against the greasy door where the paint was peeling, and wanted to hear what was going on in the room.

Unexpectedly, with this face leaning lightly, the door actually opened.

It was empty, there were no wrinkles in the quilt and sheets, and the room had a pungent musty smell mixed with a hint of sweetness.

The smell was familiar, but I couldn't tell where I had smelled it. Maybe this room was too old, the rotten smell of the old furniture, and the damp smell of the floor diluted the sweet aroma, so that An Xiaoxi, a person with a keen sense of smell, didn't care in the end.

"It's me, are you there?"

An Xiaoxi heard the old man say that when he went to a strange old house, he couldn't say his name, for fear of carrying something unclean on his back. So from beginning to end, the word An Xiaoxi was not mentioned, and of course, Chen Hansheng's name was not mentioned.

The room is so big, there is no separate bathroom, only an old big bed in the middle. An Xiaoxi endured the foul smell, opened the wardrobe and the bottom of the bed to look, and still found nothing else.

Only then did I realize that the pigeon was released by Chen Hansheng's bastard.

Leaving the room in a rage, An Xiaoxi almost tripped over a pile of garbage in front of the door.

This hotel is really badly aged, and no one has come to clean up such a large bag of garbage at the door.

Covering her mouth and nose, An Xiaoxi almost ran away from the Fangyuan Hotel.

……

"Ann Creek! Open the door! ”

There is no need to guess, An Xiaoxi knows that it is Qiao Wenhan.

Since returning to China, Qiao Wenhan has visited every three days, and he has quickly regarded her here as an inn for rest.

But today, unfortunately, she just came back from the Fangyuan Hotel, and the anger of Chen Hansheng's appointment was not gone. Coupled with the disgusting Fangyuan Hotel, the choking smell has always made her nose uncomfortable.

At this time, she was in no mood to take care of his emotions, but she still had to use her brains to make up nonsense to deceive him. Qiao Wenhan can't be allowed to find anything abnormal, he must behave as usual.

"What's the matter, your face is so ugly."

didn't greet Qiao Wenhan, An Xiaoxi cleaned up the house by herself. Qiao Wenhan went to pour the wine with ease, wanting to calm down.

Although I have seen many big battles, the trouble at the stall this time is really not small.

"Have you ever seen any strange people or received any strange phone calls these days?"

Qiao Wenhan asked directly, and An Xiaoxi's heart suddenly cooled. The only suspicious one these days is Chen Hansheng.

"What's wrong? Why do you ask? Didn't you put a bunch of eyeliner on me, where else could I meet any suspicious people?"

An Xiaoxi threw a few clothes on the bed, ready to tidy up the cupboards, and pretended to be careless.

"It's good that it has nothing to do with you. You see. ”

Qiao Wenhan threw the phone over and almost hit the back of An Xiaoxi's hand.

An Xiaoxi was dumbfounded.

At this time, the TV station suddenly inserted a message.

"The body of an unnamed man, aged between 20 and 25, was found on the moat in the south of the city, wearing a white T-shirt and light-colored jeans. The body was found without any identification and the estimated time of death was between twelve and fourteen this morning......"

Suddenly out of his hand, Qiao Wenhan's mobile phone was thrown to the ground by An Xiaoxi.

Looking at the TV picture, the deceased's eyes were mosaic, but the clothes were bought by An Xiaoxi for Chen Hansheng back then, and she would not be mistaken. and the figure of the deceased, which is almost the same as Chen Hansheng.

The most important thing is that the peace tag on the chest was obtained by the two of them when they went to the temple to pray for blessings. Chen Hansheng believes in ghosts and gods very much, and he has always worn it on his body and has never taken it off.

"Do you know this person? Ann Creek. ”

Qiao Wenhan drank wine and savored the news.

He was very uneasy in his heart, and his intuition told him that An Xiaoxi might have something to do with it. 's career has just begun to embark on a new level, and falling into the quagmire of murder before he takes office is a great disadvantage to An Xiaoxi.

"It looks like Chen Hansheng. But I didn't see the face, so I'm not sure. ”

An Xiaoxi sat on the sofa in a daze, and Qiao Wenhan could see that her face was pale, and there was a deliberately hidden fright in her eyes.

"I'll ask you again if this has anything to do with you. I asked someone to ask, and it was Chen Hansheng who died. ”

Qiao Wenhan said lightly, and An Xiaoxi listened to it in his heart.

The time of Chen Hansheng's death was when she went to Fangyuan Hotel in disguise. Calling up the surveillance video, she jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it clearly.

"What does it have to do with me, he has so many enemies outside, maybe it was a debt collector who did it, and the person who handled the case knew that this person's social relationship was very complicated as soon as he checked it......"

The more An Xiaoxi spoke, the faster she spoke. Qiao Wenhan became suspicious and hurriedly hugged her.

"It's okay, I'll just ask, it's okay. If anything, let me know and I'll help you out. It's a big deal, and you can't handle it alone. ”

Putting down the wine glass, Qiao Wenhan was about to leave.

Every time it is like this, I come to An Xiaoxi's house to sit for a while, for a few hours for a long time, and for more than ten minutes for a short time. There is no special purpose, just to see Ann Creek.

"You're leaving?"

An Xiaoxi picked up Qiao Wenhan's mobile phone and handed it to him.

"What? You've never kept me, and you're in a good mood today, don't you want to ......?"

Qiao Wenhan used his usual teasing to ease An Xiaoxi's anxiety, but it was useless. He found that An Xiaoxi seemed to be hiding something, and she was obviously more nervous in the face of his ease.

"You're going to take over as president of the U.S. and Canada Group next month, don't drop the chain at a critical time. But if something happens, be sure to let me know as soon as possible. ok？ ”

A shallow kiss fell on Ann Xiaoxi's forehead.

She gave a brief "um", said nothing, and continued to organize her closet.

My hand fiddled in the closet for a few minutes, and I didn't pick out a single piece of clothing, just to dispel my fear.

"The surveillance of An Xiaoxi's house will help me find it."

Hanging up the phone, Qiao Wenhan closed his tired eyes.
