Chapter 13: The Danger of Confusion (Part I)

The outside of the door was not as dark as I had imagined, but dimly lit, and in the silence of the night, there seemed to be a certain atmosphere of peace and security.

If I leave here, I don't know what kind of 'storm' I'm going to face outside.

For a moment, I hesitated to stay here, but in the end I took my own steps.

Yes, a future full of dangers, but fate is still in my own hands in the end.

In comparison, in this place I thought silently, walking towards the location of the elevator in my memory, I didn't say that I hated Su Ling or anything, I just hated the feeling of putting my fate in the hands of others.

Thanks to my good memory, I soon found the location of the elevator and entered the elevator, and at the moment the elevator closed, I was still a little nervous, afraid that such a movement would wake up someone, but fortunately no one showed up to stop me.

"Looks like the sound insulation in this room is pretty good." I thought so, and the elevator was fast, and in less than two minutes I was taken to the underground garage.

Taking out the key card that Chen Chengyi gave me before leaving, I opened the fence door outside the elevator smoothly, and then came to the street late at night from the underground garage.

At this time, there was not a single pedestrian on the street, only the occasional traffic, which slightly broke the silence of the night.

I walked alone on the street in the middle of the night, feeling a little lonely in my heart, and looked back at the building in the night behind me, and I don't know if I will answer here in my lifetime?

For the unknown of a qiē, perhaps the most interesting part of life.

With this in mind, I reached out and flagged down a taxi, and when I got in, I said to the driver, "You've got a big business, I'm going to L City." ”

A man carrying a bag of fruit and going on a long run in the middle of the night, no matter what, could not make the taxi driver feel too safe, and he hesitated and didn't want to go.

"Haven't you ever quarreled with your wife and ran away from home? I have to go to my mom! The fare is doubled. I yelled at the driver.

On the contrary, it was such an abnormal remark, which made the driver breathe a sigh of relief, and he cautiously called someone, probably his family, and then quoted me a higher price, and after getting my approval, he drove towards the highway.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and finally left this strange city, running towards the familiarity of my memory, a warm sense of security surrounded me, and my whole person was completely relaxed.

The atmosphere in the car was a little silent, after a little bit of adaptation, the driver lit a cigarette and began to talk nonsense with me, which roughly means that it is better to solve the problems of the young couple now, and it is not good for a man to go to another city to find his mother in the middle of the night.

Actually, I don't think it's good, but I don't say that, can you drive me away? I asked the driver for a cigarette, and while smoking, I nibbled on the big apple in my hand, and I actually experienced a comfortable feeling.

Isn't that how life should be? What's the point of not being able to smoke even a cigarette in a luxurious big house?

I didn't know if it was self-consolation, but after handing the driver a big apple that I bragged about coming from Africa and not exporting, I fell asleep in the car.

City L is not far from City C and is at least a province in terms of geographical scope.

But it's not close, after a long journey of 6 or 7 hours, the car came to L City, and I have been sleeping, except for the driver who refueled once, I woke up in a daze.

This sleep in the car is extremely sweet.

When I woke up, I felt as if my weak body had recovered a lot, at least when the car drove into L City, and the fresh morning sun shone on the earth, I felt that I was full of strength.

"Little brother, pay the fare first. I don't think I'll be able to go back to City C for the time being, so I have to find a place to sleep. Counting it, it's really not that much for me to charge you. "I finally woke up, and the driver's brother began to ask me for the fare.

He may also feel that something is wrong, in this strange city, what if I miss the debt? Look at my young and tall appearance, once I run away, where will he find me?

"Go to XX Street, I'll point you the way. I'll give you a little more fare. I was calm, and then added: "Ran away from home, no money." Fortunately, I brought a watch, and when I changed it, I will settle the fare for you. ”

At times like these, I think it's better to be sincere.

"You didn't bring any money?" The driver's eldest brother frowned, obviously he didn't expect that I would dare to take a taxi and run long distances without a penny.

I'm a little embarrassed in my heart, Ye Zhengling, Ye Zhengling, how far have you been forced to be a 'thief' and a 'bully car'? This is the time when the most wolf bèi in this life, right? But when I think about my own experience, I don't know who to blame?

Although the driver's eldest brother was dissatisfied, but when things came to this point, he was helpless, so he still took me to XX Street according to his words.

I am an antique trader, and naturally I know some underground trading places, such as the unofficial pawn shops, and it is on this street that I may have seen my wolf bèi, a gold watch worth twice as much as I had estimated, and those unscrupulous pawnbrokers took it away for me at the price of a 'cabbage'.

However, it is said that the price of cabbage is more than 20,000 yuan, and after paying the fare, my life will not be a problem for the time being.

"It's really the smell of Zhumen's wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road." When the big brother of the driver, who had received the double fare, drove away in his taxi, I kicked the pebbles on the side of the road and muttered a word.

I really didn't expect that in that luxurious big house, any watch could be picked up at this price.

Unconsciously, don't I owe them a lot of money?

The morning sun shines on the streets, and there is already a unique scorching heat at the beginning of autumn, and I stand alone on the streets of the most familiar cities, looking at the people who come and go in a hurry, thinking about the boring 'debt', and I can't suppress the feeling of confusion and helplessness in my heart.

As I said, I believe in my precarious situation, and there are so many places to go in this home city.

For example, my antique shop, my nest, Lao Zhou's home, Qin Hainian's dormitory, and forest bar, but now, I find that I can't go to any of these places! If there really is an invisible 'enemy' watching me, these places should be the focus, right?

The thought of feeling ambushed on all sides made me shiver when I stood on a sunny street, and goosebumps inexplicably spread on my back, as if someone was standing on the corner of the street watching me.

Almost subconsciously, I took a few steps back and allowed myself to stand in the shadow of the trees, as if this was the only way to feel safe.

But I can't hide like this all the time, although I don't have a clear foresight of what the future will be, but I at least understand that I came to this city to inform the people I care about that I, Ye Zhengling, am still alive and well.

Next, I should take the initiative to find out who is the 'black hand' behind it? I needed help, and the only people I could think of who could help me were Master and Senior Brother.

So, I'm going to take action.

Ironically, it took almost courage for me to step out of the shade of the trees, walk to the nearest supermarket, buy a bunch of groceries, and go to a more remote street, find a small inn that is not too formal, and open a room.

Because I don't have any documents on me, I can't go to a hotel with better conditions.

And that uneasy feeling is like a poisonous snake, ready to devour me at any moment, and I don't know for some reason on the way, I bought a hat, pulled the brim low, and got myself a pair of sunglasses to wear, and I felt a little better.

After doing this, I asked the hotel staff to help me buy an 'antique' mobile phone and get a card that didn't require an ID card.

The moment I got my phone, I had the feeling that I didn't know who to call, and I always remembered the group of people I faced in the warehouse that night, as if each of them was looking forward to my death, but I didn't even know who they were.

But if it's a group of lawless people who want to kill me, and the danger refers to them.

So it's normal for phone calls to be monitored, right? The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was not safe for me to stay in any corner of the earth. But in the end, I still can't hide in this small hotel all the time, and the only feasible plan for the future, haven't I sorted it out?

Thinking of this, I held a cigarette and finally dialed Lao Zhou's phone.

According to my thoughts, Lao Zhou's place may be the only safe place, because Mr. Su told me that Lao Zhou was taken to do 'psychological education'? If this is the case, it can also be thought that Lao Zhou has received 'special care', so it is not very convenient for that group of people to start with Lao Zhou.

This kind of thinking gives me a sense of security and confidence, and I never remember other people's phone numbers, except for the phone numbers of my parents, Lao Zhou and Lao Chen, I only remember Xin Yi's.

However, the moment the phone was connected, my heart felt like it had fallen into a cold valley, and the cold electronic voice on the other end of the phone was repeating 'I'm sorry, the phone number you dialed was empty'.

How could Lao Zhou's phone become empty? I felt chills all over my body, and I reassured myself that I must have dialed it wrong, or that something was wrong with the connection.

I hung up the phone and glanced at the familiar number! That's right, I took another deep breath and carefully pressed the button again and again, number by number.

The phone was answered again, and the cold electronic tone rang in my ears again.

'Sorry, the phone number you dialed was empty. ’

'Bang', the phone in my hand fell to the ground, what's wrong with Lao Zhou?
