Chapter 270: An Inevitable Night
Leng Qingxi stood at the top of the stairs, looking at the blood-red characters on the door, the bright red color seemed to be like blood, and it was splashing out at any time.
She tried to escape, but her body seemed to be frozen, and she couldn't move.
Because the footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and they were about to walk in front of him.
It took her luck a few times to finally make her originally stiff body react, she raised one foot and wanted to run upstairs, but before she took the first step, she was grabbed from behind.
Leng Qingxi suddenly screamed in fright: "Let go of me, let go of me, help." ”
The sound of the cold stream was unusually loud in the empty staircase.
The people behind him hugged Leng Qingxi to death, and Leng Qingxi struggled desperately.
At this time, the person behind him spoke: "Leng Qingxi, it's me, you calm down." Leng Qingxi was still yelling at first, and he didn't hear what the person behind him was saying at all.
The person behind him spoke several times before Leng Qingxi gradually quieted down.
This voice sounded familiar, Leng Qingxi stopped struggling, and the person behind him saw that he had calmed down, so he let go of his hand and let go of her.
She slowly turned around, only to find that the person behind her was Mu Xuncheng.
Leng Qingxi desperately threw himself into Mu Xuncheng's arms, and said to him incoherently: "Mu Xuncheng, you ...... I. ”
Before she finished speaking, Mu Xuncheng had already interrupted her: "Okay, you don't need to say it, I understand what you mean." ”
Mu Xuncheng frowned and looked at Leng Qingxi's door.
At this time, the door of the neighbor's house next door opened, and a middle-aged man frowned and probed his head at the door.
He first looked at Leng Qingxi and Mu Xuncheng with reproachful eyes.
Leng Qingxi realized that his reaction just now was too great, and the screams must have woken up many neighbors.
She wanted to apologize to the neighbor a little apologetically, but when the neighbor turned his gaze to the door of Leng Qingxi's house, his face changed drastically.
Without saying a word, he slammed the door shut.
Leng Qingxi's apologetic words and the smiling face that he squeezed out froze.
She hid in Mu Xuncheng's arms and shivered, and it took a while before she turned around and pushed Mu Xuncheng away.
Mu Xuncheng watched Leng Qingxi leave his arms with some regret.
He then asked, "What's going on?" ”
Leng Qingxi's door was sprayed with all kinds of blood-red characters, like the scene of debt collection in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies.
There are all kinds of invective and threats.
Mu Xuncheng couldn't help but ask: "Leng Qingxi, you won't borrow a loan shark to treat Xiaoyu, right?" ”
Leng Qingxi shook his head.
After Mu Xuncheng finished speaking, he also smiled bitterly, how could this be possible.
But how to explain the current situation?
Leng Qingxi was still trembling, she bit her lip and didn't say a word, she didn't know why this happened at all. After returning to China, she had nothing to do with anyone at all, and if she had to say that there was any enemy, then that enemy was now standing in front of her.
She tilted her head and looked at Mu Xuncheng, thinking in her heart that she didn't seem to have offended anyone else except him.
However, this situation, no matter how you look at it, it will not be Mu Xun City.
If it hadn't been for Mu Xuncheng's sudden appearance just now, he might still be frightened by now.
Mu Xuncheng saw Leng Qingxi looking at him, he took a few steps back, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't look at me, this matter has nothing to do with me." ”
Leng Qingxi also knew that his idea was ridiculous, and Mu Xuncheng had no reason to do so now.
"Don't be stupid and stand at the door, let's go inside." Mu Xuncheng patted Leng Qingxi's shoulder and said.
Leng Qingxi thought about it and nodded.
She opened the door and let Mu Xuncheng enter the house.
Sitting on the sofa, Leng Qingxi made a cup of hot tea for both her and Mu Xuncheng, and Leng Qingxi sat there, holding a water cup and shivering.
A look of horror.
Mu Xuncheng looked at Leng Qingxi and didn't speak, just silently accompanied her and calmed her down.
After a while, Leng Qingxi opened his mouth tremblingly: "What are those at the door?" Why are you here, just now in the hallway, it really scares me. ”
Mu Xuncheng shook his head: "I don't know what those are. But don't worry, I'll definitely look it up. I've been following you all the time, don't you know? You didn't let me pick you up from work, I have been waiting for you downstairs in your company, but who knows that you have not come out, I have been waiting, and then it is very late before you come out of the building, and I haven't had time to call you, you have already gotten into the taxi. ”
"So you've been following me?"
"Yes, I followed your taxi here, and when I saw you walking alone, I was a little uneasy, so I followed you all the time."
Leng Qingxi nodded, no wonder he felt weird just now, and he always felt that someone was following him behind him.
But Leng Qingxi still couldn't figure out where these big characters came from and why they appeared at his doorstep.
She tightened her eyebrows, trying to think about who she had offended?
Assistant Wang Kai? No way, he's already back in the United States.
A colleague of new energy? I haven't offended anyone.
"Mu Xuncheng, it won't be you who offended, I'm implicated." Leng Qingxi thought about it for a long time, but she had no clue, and she had no choice but to make such a speculation.
"Me?" Mu Xuncheng smiled: "If I offend countless people, but no one dares to challenge my bottom line." You're thinking too much. ”
Mu Xuncheng said nonchalantly.
Indeed, if Mu Xuncheng is spoken, then he can be regarded as having countless enemies, and of course there are countless enemies in the shopping mall.
And although he has collected a lot over the years, he himself has countless peach blossom debts that year.
If he were to start making a list of possible revenge against him now, he might not be able to finish tonight. But even if he has many enemies, hasn't he been safe for so many years?
Therefore, Mu Xuncheng didn't believe that this matter had anything to do with him at all.
But he can't be too obvious. He looked at Leng Qingxi and said, "However, don't worry, I will arrange for someone to investigate this matter." ”
Leng Qingxi nodded.
"By the way, do you want to call the police?" Leng Qingxi suddenly raised his head and asked Mu Xuncheng.
Mu Xuncheng pondered for a while and said: "Don't call the police for the time being, we don't know the other party's intentions yet, if it's really vicious, I'm afraid it's useless to catch a few gangsters who spray words." ”
Leng Qingxi also nodded, the most important thing now is that he doesn't know what the other party's purpose is at all.
Mu Xuncheng raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was already past eleven o'clock.
"Tonight, I'm not leaving." Mu Xuncheng spoke.
"What?" Leng Qingxi looked at Mu Xuncheng in surprise, as if he hadn't heard Mu Xuncheng's words.
"In your current situation, how can I leave, if anyone comes again, since they can find your house, of course they can open the door of your house, now it's just a small warning to you, what if someone really breaks in? Can you protect yourself as a woman? ”
Mu Xuncheng said confidently.
Actually, this is indeed a reason, but Mu Xuncheng also has some fuss.
But Leng Qingxi didn't speak. From just now, Leng Qingxi trembled a lot, not because she was timid.
It was the scene in front of her that reminded her of some bad things in her memory.
Back then, Leng Zhanglin's business was frustrated, the company went bankrupt, and he was being collected for debts, how similar it is now.
Leng Qingxi didn't pay attention to those details at the time, but now they all appeared in front of his eyes as if they had been promised.
Those memories of the loss of loved ones, the cold corpses in the hospital, all made Leng Qingxi fall into an inextricable fear.
Mu Xuncheng was still waiting for Leng Qingxi's rebuttal, but he didn't hear Leng Qingxi's voice for a while. Only then did he discover the abnormality of Leng Qingxi.
He stepped forward, squatted down, supported Leng Qingxi's shoulders with both hands, and shook it vigorously: "Leng Qingxi, wake up, what's wrong with you?" Frightened? ”
Leng Qingxi turned around for a while, and she shuddered.
looked at Mu Xuncheng's concerned eyes in front of him, and said, "Okay." ”
"Really?" Mu Xuncheng looked at Leng Qingxi with bright eyes, but he didn't expect her to really agree.
"Well, I'll be on the couch tonight. Look at you, the way you look, hurry up and take a hot shower and get some rest. Mu Xuncheng continued.
In fact, Mu Xuncheng said that he stayed, just to accompany Leng Qingxi, how could he not worry about what happened like this. And he also knew that Leng Qingxi must be extremely scared now. How could he leave her at this time?
Leng Qingxi nodded indifferently.
Under the impetus of Mu Xuncheng, he walked into the bathroom.
The hot water sprayed from the shower hit Leng Qingxi's body, and it took a while to make Leng Qingxi feel warm.
Just now, her whole body was cold, and she couldn't even feel the temperature at all.
After pouring hot water for a while, she had a feeling of returning home.
To this day, she still hasn't figured out what all this is all about.
Forget it, she shook her hair, don't think about it, anyway, things have already happened, let's see how to solve it.
When Leng Qingxi came out of the bathroom, Mu Xuncheng was calling someone, as if he was explaining something, and when he saw Leng Qingxi coming out, he didn't hang up the phone, but just nodded to Leng Qingxi.
Seeing this, Leng Qingxi didn't say hello to him again, and went back to his room.
She lay in her bed, but she couldn't sleep over and over. There are always those big scarlet characters in front of me, and these words overlap with the words written at the door of Leng Zhanglin's house back then, like a thousand catties of heavy burden, and they smashed straight towards Leng Qingxi's face.
Leng Qingxi suddenly sat up from the bed, panting heavily.
There was the sound of someone walking back and forth and closing the door outside the door, it should be Mu Xuncheng who went to take a bath.
Hearing the human voice, Leng Qingxi felt a lot better, and now, she realized how correct it was for Mu Xuncheng to insist on staying.
