In the middle of July in City A, it was already too hot. Even the breeze blowing in the evening carries the dryness of summer.

"It's so hot, I knew I should have called a taxi to the door."

Ji Xiaoai, who was wearing a blue and white floral suspender dress, dragged her suitcase and stood in front of the door of an independent villa panting. Her long silky black hair was casually tied up behind her head, revealing a small but delicate baby face.

If it weren't for the fact that the phone call had not been connected, she would have returned two days ago while it was raining and cold.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoai wrinkled her little face, and looked at the villa located behind the small garden through the half-open carved hollow door.

It's strange, even if the phone can't get through, why is the door at home closed?

Full of doubts, she was a little vigilant.

The wheels of the suitcase were rolled on the path paved with goose stones, making a bone-chilling noise, and soon the road was about to be completed. Just as she was about to reach the door, the door creaked open.

"Mom, I'm ......"

As soon as he raised his head and opened his mouth, and said two words in the direction of the door, Ji Xiaoai was covered by two black shadows that jumped out of the door, and his eyes were dark and he fainted.

At night, in the treacherous dark curtain, there is a terrifying atmosphere.

Ji Xiaoai was woken up by the heat, turned over in a daze, and raised his hand and waved it in the air, "Which of you turned off the air conditioner in the dormitory again." ”

Quiet, only infinite silence answered her.

Wrong! She's already home!

The alarm bell sounded in his heart, and Ji Xiaoai suddenly sobered up. She sat up from the bed and looked at the figure beside the bed only slightly. In the absolute darkness, she couldn't see the man's face clearly, but based on her size, she was sure that it was a man, a complete stranger to her.

The distance between the edge of the bed, one high and one low, the two pairs of eyes are looking at each other.

Suddenly, the man leaned over, calmly reached out and pinched Ji Xiaoai's chin, forcing her to raise her head again, "Have you slept enough?" ”

The cold male voice carried a slight anger, which made Ji Xiaoai's first word tremble a little, "No...... Didn't get enough sleep. ”

As if surprised by this answer, the man fell into a brief silence before his voice sounded colder again, "Then sleep again?" ”

Swallowing her saliva, Ji Xiaoai shook her head firmly, "No, someone stared at me and couldn't sleep." ”

The crisp voice settled, the air froze for a few seconds, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little delicate.

The man hooked the corners of his lips with interest, and the hand holding Ji Xiaoai's chin unconsciously loosened, "You're not afraid of me?" ”

Ji Xiaoai raised her hand and rubbed her neck, which was beginning to pantothenic, and said in a serious tone, "Psychologically speaking, the fear expressed by the victim is to a certain extent to stimulate the nerve excitement of the perpetrator. ”

"Victim, perpetrator ......" The man repeatedly put these two identity pronouns in his mouth and chewed, and his deep and hoarse voice was stunned to smear a layer of unclear meaning on these two words without temperature.

"So, the best thing you can do now is to knock me out again, and then quickly flee with your accomplices, pretending that nothing happened."

The man chuckled lightly, rubbing his fingertips against Ji Xiaoai's chin, "What if I don't?" ”

"If not, then...... I'll just have to see you clearly, and I'll settle accounts with you when I get out. The sound fell, and with a "click" sound, the small lamp at the bedside was pressed by Ji Xiaoai.

Anyway, this is the place where she has lived for more than ten years, and she is very familiar with every small arrangement. In this situation, she may not be able to escape, but she still has a way to delay time.

In the warm yellow light, Ji Xiaoai could clearly see the man's face that was only a stone's throw away from her. Knife-cut contours, curled and long eyelashes, deep eyebrows, a straight nose, and thin lips tightly curled into lines.

This bad guy ...... It's a little nice to look at what's going on!

"Have you seen enough?"

The lazy voice lured Ji Xiaoai, who hadn't withdrawn his gaze, and shook his head in a daze, "No." ”

The man's eyes narrowed narrowly, and his sharp fingers tapped the cheeks of the person in front of him, all the way to the shiny eyes, "The last time I looked at me like this, I paid for this thing, what are you going to pay, huh?" ”

The tone that couldn't be calmer couldn't be calmer, but Ji Xiao Ai shivered and immediately withdrew his gaze.

She could clearly feel that the man was not joking with her.

"Who the hell are you?"

Hearing this, the man withdrew his hand in disinterest. Straightened up, turned around and took two steps back with his slender legs, then folded his hands in front of his chest and sat on the sofa not far away.

After following her gaze, Ji Xiaoai saw that there was a cup of steaming coffee in front of the man.

Are burglaries rampant to this point now? Committing a crime while drinking coffee?

Inexplicable thoughts come and go quickly, and they are dismissed quickly.

The way a man dresses, behaves, and reveals the nobility and temperament from the inside out, which is by no means what an outlaw would have.

"You're my dad's...... Guest? ”

Unhurriedly took a sip of coffee, and the man's face was a little playful, "What's the matter, the positioning for me is not 'the perpetrator'?" ”

His eyes were fixed in the direction of the sofa, and Ji Xiaoai nodded affirmatively, "You're not." ”

"It's a bit of eyesight."

"And who the hell are you?"

The man didn't answer Ji Xiaoai directly, but looked sideways and whispered outside the door, "Li Yi." ”

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a formal suit approached the sofa and bowed his head respectfully, "What does the president command?" ”

"Explain to this Miss Ji who is still in the dark."

Although Ji Xiaoai's head was a mess, she still heard the president just now.

President? The man in front of you is the president?

The man who was called Li Yi opened the folder in his hand, and said mechanically and methodically, "Ji's Group declared bankruptcy in mid-July, Chairman Ji Yemin and his wife and daughter are missing, and he owed Yan's Group a year ago a debt of 100 million, and today is the last date for repayment." ”

Company bankruptcy? Yan's Group? 100 million debts?

Unfamiliar information poured into Ji Xiaoai's mind one after another, squeezing her head. There are so many things, and she, as the daughter of the Ji family, doesn't even know anything.

Raising her eyes, Ji Xiaoai threw herself at the man on the sofa again with shock in her eyes, "So, you are ......"

The man caressed the body of the blue and white porcelain coffee cup, and his movements were graceful like a cat wandering in the jungle, "Your creditor, the current president of the Yan Group, Yan Yan." ”
