Chapter Twenty-Nine: Something Returned to Him
As soon as Wei Shuying heard his tone, he knew that it was over, and he didn't believe her at all.
She was also a little stubborn in her bones, and immediately sank her face: "I don't need to lie to you." If you don't believe it, forget it. ”
He stared at her without blinking, his eyes getting deeper and deeper: "Where was it lost?" ”
"What do you want to do?" Wei Shuying raised his eyes in a daze, and hesitated, "You don't want to fish it out, do you?" ”
Ji Yuncheng was noncommittal, just looked at her quietly.
…… He really wanted to fish it out.
Wei Shuying's eyebrows immediately wrinkled: "That artificial lake is very big, even if you pump the water up, it will take a long time, and several days have passed, maybe the necklace has already been eaten by fish, or it has been swept away because of the water change at the bottom of the lake......"
She softened her tone: "That necklace is worth 800,000, I'll give you back 800,000, or buy another identical one, do you think it's okay?" ”
Ji Yuncheng ignored her, and only said lightly: "Take me there." ”
Wei Shuying was dumbfounded.
She almost forgot that Ji Yuncheng was not a good talker at all, and he was even a little paranoid.
"Got it." Wei Shuying lowered his head and stuffed the rest of the rice into his mouth, the food was already a little cold, and it tasted like chewing wax.
After lunch, the two went to the park together.
"It was lost around here that night."
Wei Shuying climbed the guardrail and looked at the center of the lake, where a small pavilion was built in the clear blue water, and there were some tourists enjoying the scenery on it.
She sighed, turned her face, and said to Ji Yuncheng, "Do you really want to fish?" ”
Ji Yuncheng replied with actions.
He called a construction team, who came in in a truck full of specialized equipment and parked at the lake.
One of the leaders of them came over: "We have already contacted the park to salvage it manually, and if it doesn't work, drain the lake." ”
Wei Shuying took a breath.
As for it?
A necklace, no matter how valuable it is, is only worth 800,000, and it actually drains the entire lake!
Ji Yuncheng nodded: "Go ahead." ”
Wei Shuying watched as the people from the construction party put on diving suits and jumped in one by one.
I fished for about two hours and found nothing.
The men came ashore one after another, shaking their heads helplessly, looking exhausted.
Ji Yuncheng ordered the evacuation of the crowd and began to drain the lake.
Wei Shuying couldn't stand it: "Such a large area of lake water, even if more than a dozen pumping machines work together, I'm afraid it won't be able to be pumped out in ten hours!" Even if you finish pumping, you have to rummage through every inch of silt to find it, invest so much labor, and spend so much time, just for a necklace, is it worth it? ”
Ji Yuncheng's eyes were fixed on the sparkling lake, ignoring her words.
Wei Shuying stood in front of him and waved his hand in front of him: "Are you listening to what I say?" ”
Ji Yuncheng lowered his head to look at her, his face was cold, and his eyes were a little mocking: "Then why did you lose it?" ”
Wei Shuying felt incredible.
"Are you going to wait here for ten hours, until they drain the water, and wait for a few more hours, until they find the necklace, and maybe they won't find it! You booked a plane for tomorrow morning, so you will miss the flight, and you will not care about work matters? ”
Ji Yuncheng looked at her calmly: "I found it, I'll go again." ”
"You're crazy! That's just a necklace! Wei Shuying was dumbfounded.
Ji Yuncheng corrected her: "I gave you the necklace." ”
"So, is it special?" Wei Shuying spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders, "Please, I don't think it's important." ”
Ji Yuncheng took a deep breath, his pale thin lips were pursed into a stiff straight line, and his eyes were gloomy.
After a while, he suppressed his anger and said harshly and coldly: "It's your business whether you care or not, you just need to know that I care." ”
Wei Shuying wanted to say something more.
Ji Yuncheng's face was gloomy: "Don't try to provoke me again, Wei Shuying." ”
This man is really paranoid and terrible.
What exactly did that necklace mean to him?
If it meant something, why did he give it to her so easily?
Staying by his side really couldn't breathe, Wei Shuying was silent for a while, then turned around and left, taking a slow walk along the lakeside.
His ears were filled with the rumbling sound of the pumping pump, and Wei Shuying turned his head to see that the park had been messed up by them.
The sun gradually sank in the west, a cloud climbed into the sky, and the sunset was like blood, reflecting the water of half a pond of lake.
She was in a bad mood.
The necklace was lost, in fact, it was not her fault, but this pot, Ji Yuncheng must be buckled to her head.
Why was she forced to endure this?
Having made up his mind, Wei Shuying turned his head and walked back.
At that time, Ji Yuncheng was sitting in a Porsche, lowering the window on one side, resting his elbows on it, and tapping the window frame with his fingertips, with a contemplative expression on his face.
He suddenly saw Wei Shuying.
She didn't walk in the direction of the car, but went to the construction party and said something to the leader.
The leader shook his head.
She turned back and followed the railing by the lake, as if to observe her surroundings, and then, stopping at one place, walked back and forth twice.
Eventually, she stood still and took off her shoes.
Ji Yuncheng's pupils suddenly constricted.
What does she want to do?
Wei Shuying wore a shirt and cropped jeans, barefoot, and walked over the guardrail with his legs raised.
"Wei Shuying!" Ji Yuncheng immediately pushed the car door and rushed out, "You come back for me!" ”
The petite and thin figure has disappeared from the retina.
Like a flying dove, it suddenly retracts its wings, and then suddenly falls.
"Plop!"
She actually jumped!
The lake ripples in circles.
Ji Yuncheng chased to the guardrail, where she jumped down, looked down, only saw the churning water waves, and nothing else could be seen.
"Wei Shuying!"
Ji Yuncheng never imagined that she would jump without hesitation.
His hands clenched tightly to the railing, trembling uncontrollably, and the back of his hand protruded with green tendons.
He suddenly remembered what she had said.
- Don't I have the right to die?
Suicide?
Good and decent, why did she kill herself?
Is it because he just said something to her?
Ji Yuncheng looked at the pool of blue water in a daze, his temples began to ache violently, and the terrifying picture in the depths of his memory came unexpectedly.
……
Damp and dark houses, cockroaches and rats are in a no-man's land.
The girl who was pulled by her hair and pressed into the basin struggled desperately, constantly crying: "Brother! Mom! Save me! ”
Eventually, the sound of the world died down, and it was as quiet as an angel with wings folded.
The boy crawled over in embarrassment and cautiously and pushed the girl's shoulder: "Sister......"
With a thud, the girl fell to the ground, her face drenched white.
……
"Mr. Ji!" Someone from the construction party ran over.
Ji Yuncheng's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat.
He lowered his head, he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and his voice was hoarse: "...... Save her. ”
There was a blank look on the man's face.
Ji Yuncheng was instantly furious and shouted: "What the are you doing in a daze, go down and save people!" ”
"Yes!" A person immediately jumped into the water.
The people who came with him didn't jump together, and there was a hint of strangeness on their faces: "...... Didn't she go down to find the necklace? ”
Ji Yuncheng was stunned.
"She just asked us for a wetsuit, but we couldn't borrow it according to the regulations, so we didn't give it to her, so she jumped off herself."
"Mr. Ji, look, she's right there." The man pointed with his hand.
On the surface of the water, a head suddenly appeared, as nimble as a swimming fish, waving the waves and swimming lightly towards the shore.
Wei Shuying climbed ashore drenched, and felt two blazing eyes fall on her.
She raised her head, and Ji Yuncheng stood behind the guardrail, staring at her intently.
She raised her arms and hung a shiny necklace between her fingers, the sparkle of light reflected in the sun.
"Tell your people to stop! I found it! ”
She panted and climbed over the guardrail, leaning her back against the railing, the necklace curled around her index finger.
She raised her eyebrows at Ji Yuncheng: "I remember where it fell into the water, and that little thief doesn't have strong arm strength, so he shouldn't be thrown far." I jumped down and looked for it, and it was at the very bottom of the embankment, stuck in the cracks in the stones and the mud, and you all looked in the wrong place to find it. ”
Ji Yuncheng stared at her.
His gaze was like the scorching sun scorching the earth, with a certain trembling and madness.
Wei Shuying tilted his head unnaturally, avoiding his gaze.
"Anyway, I've found it, so it's over."
Ji Yuncheng suddenly hugged her.
The bridge of Wei Shuying's nose slammed into his chest, almost knocking her tears out.
"Huh?" She looked inexplicably unexplained.
Ji Yuncheng hugged her tightly, and she was almost out of breath.
Her whole body was soaked, like a chicken in soup, and her bare feet were the color of water.
But Ji Yuncheng didn't care and hugged her tightly.
His head rested on her shoulder socket.
Wei Shuying only felt the heat on his body pass along the soaked clothes to her!
She twisted her body uncomfortably, trying to break free of his embrace: "Ji Yuncheng, you let go of me first." ”
Ji Yuncheng showed no signs of letting go.
Wei Shuying dived to the bottom of the water just now, used a lot of strength, and after struggling for a while, he was out of breath, so he had to let him hold it like this.
It took several minutes before Ji Yuncheng let go of his hand.
Obsidian-like eyes stared at her, and he spoke, his tone concealing a hint of hardship: "Why do you want to go down?" ”
"Fishing for a necklace." She said.
"Don't you care?"
Wei Shuying shrugged: "But you're fishing like this, it's very inefficient." And, since you think I lost the necklace, I'll get it back for you. ”
She just didn't want to owe him anything.
"Do you know how dangerous it is to go into the water?" Ji Yuncheng scolded in her ear, but his voice was extremely soft.
"Am I dangerous or not, is it important to you? Probably not as important as a necklace. Wei Shuying pushed him away and smiled provocatively, but his eyes were cold.
I don't know why he pretended to care for her.
Ji Yuncheng was stunned, and subconsciously said: "I'm not ......"
"You've always been like that, sometimes acting like you're nice to me, but other times, all of a sudden, it's unreasonable. I really don't understand what the hell you're thinking. ”
Ji Yuncheng said softly: "You will understand." ”
"But I don't want to understand." Wei Shuying's eyes were sparse, in fact, she just wanted to leave him.
She unfolded the necklace, stood on tiptoe, and fastened it around Ji Yuncheng's neck.
Ji Yuncheng was stunned: "...... Do what? ”
"Didn't you say it was important, I'll give it back to you." Wei Shuying said in a low voice.
Ji Yuncheng looked at her silently.
"Don't send me any more things, I can still pick them up if I fell into the water, and if I fall into the crater one day, how can I pay you back?"
Wei Shuying raised the corners of his lips and sneered bitterly.
