Chapter 1: Kidnapping

Next Chapter

In Qingcheng in July, the sultry heat in the weather is already breathless, and the coolness brought by the air conditioning in the office building is still pleasant.

Gu Qingyuan stood up, poured a cup of hot water, and put on the shirt next to the chair with his gloves, probably because the air conditioner was turned on too much, a little top-heavy, opened the drawer, took out the cold medicine that was not easy to cause sleepiness from a large box of medicine boxes, and swallowed it in his throat.

Looking at the large stack of documents on the table, Gu Qingyuan shook his head that hit him with sleepiness, and patiently analyzed and summarized.

By the time the last document was finished, the staff in the office had almost left, and Gu Qingyuan stood up and sorted out his things and prepared to get off work.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was still so bright, not at all filled with night, but with a unique fire cloud, brilliant dazzling.

Coming down from the office building to the scorching summer temperature, the coolness on my body melted all of a sudden, and it was sticky and uncomfortable. Gu Qingyuan was wearing flat ballet shoes, with bows tied at her delicate ankles, not wearing a uniform suit for the office building, wearing a white dress, and her thin figure made people unable to take their eyes off it.

Gu Qingyuan walked to the parking lot and found an inconspicuous Toyota small car in the corner, gearing.

The company is not very far from the apartment, more than 10 minutes by car. Lijiang Xiaoyuan, a popular single apartment now, Gu Qingyuan has moved to this apartment for 3 years, and in the past three years, he has lived at two points and one line, there is no nightlife, and he has been staying at home.

The layout of the apartment is very suitable for single women, which is the style that Gu Qingyuan likes, and the only highlight is that the wine rack next to the sofa displays various varieties of wine, which shines with an elegant and restrained luster under the light.

As soon as Gu Qingyuan arrived at the apartment, he was lazy on the lazy sofa after taking a shower, playing puzzles by himself, and after more than an hour, he was a little hungry, so he took a sandwich from the refrigerator and ate it.

At 11 o'clock, I put the puzzle in the box, swallowed a pill to help me sleep, and went to bed with the lights off.

Tossing and turning on the bed, sitting up again, turning on the phone, looking through WeChat, WeChat is full of current colleagues, the circle of friends is all showing children, and there are no new tricks in eating and drinking.

Gu Qingyuan opened the previous WeChat, Xu has not logged in for a long time, and it is a bit troublesome to log in, but after verification, he finally logged in, and there are many unread messages on WeChat.

Gu Qingyuan subconsciously flipped through it, it was all words of concern, a burst of warmth, at the age of 29, many classmates have put on wedding dresses, and there are several wedding invitations on WeChat, all of which are colleagues who worked before. Thinking about leaving that city for three years, if you go back to attend the wedding, it will inevitably be embarrassing, plus I am not used to lively occasions, I still don't go after thinking about it, and ask a friend to bring a gift.

The fingers slid over the hand, and it was cousin Gu Ye: "Chaochao, how are you doing, July 23 next month is grandma's birthday, and grandma hopes that you can come back." Gu Qingyuan's right hand was stunned, Chao Chao, I haven't heard my name for three years, only the more intimate family and friends will call Chao Chao, the man who once spoiled her in the palm of his hand said: "Chao Chao will always be the most energetic little girl." ”

It was a long way away, so far away that Gu Qingyuan couldn't remember what he looked like, he used to like to jump up and down on him the most, calling his father affectionately, since when did everything change, the home is gone, there is nothing.

Gu Qingyuan looked up at the light on the ceiling, and it took a while to recover. I took my phone, looked at the 20th on the calendar, was silent for a long time, turned off the lights, and fell asleep after a long time.

The next day was Friday, early in the morning, probably because of the biological clock, Gu Qingyuan was very punctual, he would wake up at 7 o'clock, drink a glass of milk, a slice of toast, and his stomach was already full.

Looking at himself in front of the mirror, Gu Qingyuan hadn't looked at himself like this for a long time, living his life in a daze, staring at the obvious black circle, and a little helplessly drew a light makeup to brighten his complexion, with a casual jumpsuit, the jumpsuit was worn loosely on the body, and he weighed it next to him, 82 pounds, as if he had lost weight again.

Helpless, helpless about her stomach like a chick in the past few years, the female colleagues in the same office shout every day how to lose weight, how to prepare weight loss recipes, how to exercise and lose weight The effect is the most obvious, girls of this age can always discuss beauty and lose weight for a long time, Gu Qingyuan is completely excluded.

170 tall, also tall, weighing 82 pounds, seems to be farther away from the goal, still very hateful, want to be fat can not get fat, the appetite has been bad in the past three years, recently bitter summer, eating has become a very difficult thing.

Gu Qingyuan thought about it for a while, and changed into a well-fitting skirt, which was still flat shoes, which was convenient for walking.

Back in the office, at 8:25, it was quite early, there was still a little time to leave the morning meeting at this time, the female colleague next to him was chatting, chatting about the newly bought skirts and newly arrived cosmetics, Gu Qingyuan had never been interested, returned to the desk, and began to deal with official business.

Gu Qingyuan's current company is a translation company, the scale is relatively small, and there are more female employees, because the boss has been abroad for a long time, so the discipline is relatively loose, and there are not too many requirements for employees, just do their own work, which is also the reason why she joined this company in the first place, she is leisurely, and she doesn't have to be busy like a spinning top all day long, so she is still just a small staff, but Gu Qingyuan thinks this is very good.

The morning meeting is still a cliché, nothing new, everyone seems to get together and then do their jobs.

Gu Qingyuan stared at the computer screen, and began to book tickets for a long time, booking a bullet train ticket, a bullet train ticket to Yebei on the afternoon of the 22nd.

After buying the ticket, Gu Qingyuan calmed down to deal with the documents, and still went home at two o'clock and one line, there is nothing boring and not tired of this kind of life, it may be muddy in the eyes of others, indeed, this life is not like Gu Qingyuan before, the energetic Gu Qingyuan seems to have been away from him for a long time, and now he feels that he is not himself in the familiarity, he feels like an empty shell, and the soul inside is sleeping.

When you are asleep, you can forget the pain, rely on paralysis to live again, perhaps, it is time to face the people in the place where you fled in the first place.

It was raining on Saturday morning, looking at the foggy weather through the window, remembering that I was going to Dr. Yang for a follow-up visit, I felt bored for a while, I had been delaying for two weeks, and I drove to Qingcheng People's Hospital while it was still early.

The hospital was still overcrowded, and Gu Qingyuan could be regarded as an old patient of Dr. Yang, so he went directly to the office to wait for him.

Sitting on the chair in the office, Gu Qingyuan played Tetris boringly, and he didn't even notice when Yang Ningcheng came.

"Don't get so close to your phone, it hurts your eyes." A clear voice, with a slight medicinal fragrance.

Gu Qingyuan stopped the game on the mobile phone page and raised his eyes to look at Yang Ningcheng in a white coat: "The outpatient clinic is over so early?" I thought it would be a long wait. "The words are familiar.
