Chapter 337: Race Against Time
can only hope that her daughter and Ye Yuhan can carry it through this time, after all, both of them have already gone through so many difficulties.
"Xiaoya, don't blame Dad for saying goodbye, Dad will always have to pay back this account."
Mu Juecheng took up his reading glasses, took out a photo from his pocket, stroked it gently, sighed and muttered.
Li Xue stood in the corner of the upstairs, looking at Mu Juecheng below, after thinking about it, she still didn't go downstairs, she was going to ask the latter if she had any other information about her family, because she had almost finished reading the previous stack of documents, basically all of them were things that had nothing to do with her, and she wanted to know more about what her previous parents were like and what her family background was.
But now that I think about it, Mu Jiecheng is already struggling because of thinking about countermeasures, and there is no need for him to cause too much trouble to the other party, so let's leave this kind of thing for later.
Li Xue figured it out and went back to the room, and suddenly Yu Guang noticed that a door was hidden, she recalled, this door seemed to be closed before, how did it open today, maybe it was because Mu Juecheng forgot to close it after coming out, Li Xue originally wanted to go over and close the door.
But her eyes saw a small piano inside through the gap, she was curious for a moment and didn't hold back and pushed the door and walked in, this house is not big, there are not many things in it, other things are placed in a messy place, the piano placed in the corner looks a little out of place.
Li Xue walked over, gently uncovered the dust cloth covering it, and was surprised to find that the piano was actually bright and reflective, apparently someone wiped it not long ago, she gently pressed a key, maybe because of the long time, the sound quality became a little muddy, but this did not make her feel disgusted.
Putting this sheet music on the piano, she is not familiar with this music, but it is not difficult to play, which for her who has not touched the piano for a long time, she can't help but be eager to try, completely forgetting that the door is closed.
Li Xue looked at the score, her fingers gently pressed the keys, and a beautiful piano sound sounded in her ears, Li Xue quickly entered the state, this is a very gentle song, she can hear it from this melody alone, quiet, beautiful, just like the feeling of a mother coaxing her child to sleep.
Before she knew it, she was absorbed into the music, and her eyes slowly closed, as if she could figure out the rest of the melody without reading the score.
She was so focused that she didn't even hear Mu Juecheng's footsteps coming up, Mu Juecheng stood outside the door, quietly looking at Li Xue who was engrossed in playing the piano, and her thoughts slowly drifted into her memories with the melody.
Those pictures that had long been forgotten suddenly appeared clearly in front of him, whether it was people or things, all of them really fell into his eyes, and the warm feeling of the past surrounded him again.
Mu Juecheng lost his mind slightly, and accidentally touched the door, causing the doorknob to collide with the wall, making a dull sound.
This made Li Xue, who was intoxicated with the piano, suddenly wake up, and when she turned around and saw Mu Juecheng standing outside the door looking at her, she was startled, and hurriedly stood up, looked at each other at a loss, and said apologetically
"Uncle Mu, I'm sorry, I didn't come in on purpose, I saw that your door was open, and then I saw a piano on it, just... I accidentally came in. ”
"Ah, it's okay, I didn't mean to blame you."
Mu Juecheng waved his hand and smiled, then walked in, touched the piano, there was a different kind of emotion flow in his eyes, Li Xue stood aside and watched the latter silently stroke the cylinder, and seemed to be able to guess something in his heart.
Suddenly, Mu Juecheng opened his mouth,
"This piano used to be bought by Xiaoya's mother to coax Xiaoya to sleep, when the child was young, she had to listen to her mother play a tune every night before she was willing to sleep, but she was naughty."
"No wonder, I just said that this song sounds so warm, it turns out that my aunt used it to coax Xiaoya to sleep."
Li Xue nodded and said.
"Yes, originally this piano was placed in Xiaoya's room, but later after her mother died, she began to hate this piano, always thinking of ways to destroy it, I couldn't stand it and asked someone to move this piano here, and then as time went on, we also moved, and she slowly forgot about it, and I remembered these old things when I saw it yesterday, and I didn't know that it had been so long."
Mu Juecheng sighed with emotion, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
"Yes, time flies quickly, by the way, Uncle Mu, I still don't know what my aunt looks like, is there a photo, I want to see it, it must be beautiful."
Li Xue asked.
Mu Jiecheng reacted back, nodded and said
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll find it for you."
"Okay."
Zhang Yuxuan was still relatively lucky, the traffic jam was ten minutes faster than expected, but this didn't make him happy, after all, it was still delayed for a while, and he wouldn't be at ease until he saw Li Xue and Mu Jiecheng with his own eyes.
"It's a few more miles away."
Xiao Ke looked at the red light in front of him, compared the itinerary of the computer, and said.
Zhang Yuxuan nodded, still a little inexplicably anxious in his heart, his fingers kept tapping on the steering wheel, his eyes swept the parallel vehicles around him at will, and suddenly his gaze was fixed on a certain place.
Zhang Yuxuan rubbed his eyes, lowered his head slightly, and reconfirmed the appearance of the person in the passenger seat of the car in the right rear of the rearview mirror, it won't be wrong, that person is definitely Ye Yitao.
What's going on, why is he here? Could it be that he was being followed? It shouldn't be possible, I'm already so cautious in my actions today, there's no reason to be discovered, but Ye Yitao's is indeed a few cars away from him.
"What's wrong with you? The expression is a little strange. ”
Xiao Ke noticed that after the other party glanced at the rearview mirror, his whole expression changed, and he looked at the other party suspiciously.
"I saw my opponent, and now he's in the passenger seat of the black sedan behind me, don't look back, I suspect we're being followed."
Zhang Yuxuan lowered his voice and said.
Xiao Ke frowned, looked up cautiously at the car located behind them on the right in the rearview mirror, thought for a moment, shook his head and said
"No, I paid attention to the back along the way before, and I didn't find any suspicious vehicles, this car should have just come, and the route you took can't be shown on the map, only guided, so we weren't tracked."
Zhang Yuxuan looked at the other party in disbelief, and then said
"You said you were paying attention to the back before, but why did I only see you playing your game console all the time, and I didn't seem to see you raise your head a few times."
Xiao Ke seemed to be a little lazy to explain to the other party, and said again
"Do you think a person who is following you will drive the car in front of the person being followed?"
"Of course not."
"Wouldn't that be good."
"Okay?"
Zhang Yuxuan didn't understand what the other party meant, and it wasn't until the other party clicked ahead with his hand that he found that the red light had already turned green, and Ye Yitao's car was already in front of him.
"Damn."
Zhang Yuxuan scolded, slammed the accelerator to the end, and chased after him.
His heart is now full of questions again, since the other party is not following him, why is it just a coincidence? But is there really such a coincidence in the world?
"Brother Yuxuan, I think what you were worried about may have happened."
Xiao Ke's face is still as calm as ever, and the tone of his speech is always not arrogant or impatient.
"You're saying they're going to the same destination as ours?"
Zhang Yuxuan's brows locked deeper, and the hand holding the steering wheel quietly increased a little harder.
Xiao Ke nodded and said again
"Calm down and take a closer look ahead."
After Zhang Yuxuan heard this, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and looked at Ye Yitao's car in front of him seriously, this time, there was really a new discovery, he saw that Ye Yitao's car was followed by two identical vehicles on both sides, and the three cars were almost in a parallel state.
"He also had two carts of people with him."
"Yes, going out like this is definitely not to do anything good, and the route they took is very similar to ours, and we can almost be sure that the other party's purpose is the same as ours, now it's time to be nervous."
Ordinary people may think that Xiao Ke is ridiculous and casual, but in fact, this is a sign that he has entered the state, and then, he put away the game console, opened the notebook he carried with him, and asked lightly
"Okay, Brother Yuxuan, what are you going to do now?"
Zhang Yuxuan gritted his teeth, and was anxious to think of a way, if he rushed to the other party now, he would definitely be discovered, and not only could he not arrive in advance, but he would despise himself in danger.
But if he doesn't exceed the other party, he can only watch Ye Yitao go to Li Xue's side before himself, and when that time comes, it will be too late for him to stop it, what should he do?
"It's very embarrassing, alas, seeing that you are so embarrassed, I will help you once."
Xiao Ke said with a smile.
Zhang Yuxuan turned his head to look at him, his face was a little disbelieving, and asked
"Do you have a way?"
"There's nothing you can do about it, it's just that you can get ahead of each other without being detected."
Xiao Ke shrugged his shoulders and said lightly.
"But didn't you say the road was already the closest?"
Zhang Yuxuan asked again, he clearly remembered that the other party said that this road was the closest, and he had also paid attention to other sections of the road before, compared with the road he was driving now, there were more traffic light intersections.
Xiao Ke smiled mischievously and replied
"Well, it's just common sense, but this time we don't follow common sense."
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Yuxuan became more and more unable to understand the other party's words, and Xiao Ke didn't want to explain it to the other party very clearly, so he said it simply
"Just listen to my command, don't ask anything else."
Zhang Yuxuan didn't have time to think about it at the moment, no matter what, he had to find Li Xue and Mu Juecheng before Ye Yitao, if the two of them fell into each other's hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Okay."
Xiao Ke nodded with satisfaction, his fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, and then said suddenly
"Turn left at the intersection ahead."
"But the road ahead is blocked."
Zhang Yuxuan asked puzzled, but the other party didn't pay attention to what he said, and still faintly repeated what he said, Zhang Yuxuan had no choice but to do it, to his surprise, just when he was about to turn, the cars in front of him suddenly drove forward one after another, and he thought that he would be blocked in the back but suddenly turned smoothly into the aisle.
