There was a "bang", and the sound of the soup bowl breaking resounded throughout the villa. Yang Xin was about to scream, she hurriedly brought a rag and prepared to clean it, but Gao Zhengnan stopped her and made a silent gesture to her. Director Liao was almost clinging to Gao Zhengnan's body, the two of them were back to back, and Gao Zhengnan could feel him trembling.

The scene just now was clear to both of them, Yang Xin did not move forward to throw, and from the restaurant to the front hall, he had to pass through the hall for nearly thirty meters. Both of them were breathing a little fast, Gao Zhengnan listened carefully to the movement, the swishing sound seemed to go around the bonsai, he turned around and changed Director Liao to his front. The flower pot shelf where Director Liao was standing just now suddenly fell, and Gao Zhengnan had no time to dodge, so he used his entire back to carry a heavy blow.

"Ah!" a scream came from the stairs on the second floor, and Madame stood there taking a step backwards, her face pale.

The driver, Xiao Liu, also ran in from the kitchen at the back door.

Gao Zhengnan pulled up Director Liao, who was lying on the ground, and he was stained with some soil from the flower pot.

Yang Xin was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, and her eyes were full of panic.

Gao Zhengnan opened the door, and the sunlight poured in through the gate.

He turned back to Yang Xin and said, "Quick! Pull the curtain open!"

Yang Xin stood there and nodded helplessly, and immediately ran to the window and pressed the remote control. All the gauzy curtains were opened, and the sun shone through the hall. The whoosh sound seemed to disappear without a trace, as if it had never existed.

The lady's shrill voice rang out above, "What the hell are you doing?"

Director Liao looked at Gao Zhengnan and said, "Is this really okay?"

Gao Zhengnan looked at the room carefully, took his arm and walked to the sofa and said, "You take a little rest first." ”

He turned around and motioned for Yang Xin to clean up the broken soup bowl.

Xiao Liu came over and asked, "Do you want to call someone over?"

Director Liao scolded: "What's all the fuss? It's just that the shelves are loose." ”

Madame hurried down the stairs: "What's the matter with the soup bowl?

Director Liao looked at her face and said in a low voice: "Little accidents, don't shout and make people laugh." ”

"Accident?" Mrs. looked at Yang Xin with anger on her face, Yang Xin lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, took the cleaning tools and began to clean.

"Xiao Gao, are you alright?" asked Director Liao in a calm voice.

"It's okay! Gao Zhengnan looked around with his eyes, there was no other sound in the room, and the nervous feeling he had just now slowly faded.

Director Liao stood up and patted his wife's arm and comforted, "It's not a big deal, don't worry too much." ”

He looked at Gao Zhengnan: "Xiao Gao, you come in with me." ”

Madame watched puzzled as her husband walked into his study, Gao Zhengnan had no choice but to follow, he felt that Madame's gaze was burning with anger behind him.

Shouldn't this be a time for husbands and wives to comfort each other?

Director Liao chose to talk to Gao Zhengnan alone, ignoring his wife's fear and anxiety.

The large glass window of the study was bright with sunlight, illuminating the whole room, and Director Liao stopped behind the desk and stood, he looked at the small garden outside the window, and did not speak for a long time.

Gao Zhengnan looked at his back, his white hair had crawled all over his sideburns, and although his figure was still tall, he looked lonely and helpless in the light and shadow he remembered.

"Xiao Gao. Director Liao's voice made people feel very tired: "What do you think just now?"

"Director, it was just an accident. ”

"It's not an accident, you protected me before the bowl came over, and you already judged the danger in advance. Director Liao turned around, and his eyes showed a child-like timid look: "You know." ”

"I just felt something weird, but I couldn't judge more, maybe it was instinct, so I just did it. ”

Director Liao shook his head: "You know that you open the door and window to let the sunlight in, you know this." ”

"I ......" Gao Zhengnan could not deny this.

"I've asked people who have been attacked, and they've said that injuries really look like accidents. Only they know that it was definitely more than just an accident. Director Liao's hand grabbed the armrest of the chair fiercely: "Everything is premeditated!"

His voice roared from his throat: "He's getting revenge!"

Gao Zhengnan looked at Director Liao, who was almost frantic, and was a little surprised. Against the light, he noticed for the first time that the director's forehead was a little bald, and then he realized that he was also almost 60 years old, and he was about to retire in two years.

He couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy, it turned out that in the face of fear, no matter how old he was or how high his official position was, when there was a shadow in his heart, he couldn't easily get rid of it.

His ears caught the voice of the lady in the hall, and she was asking Yang Xin, "What the hell happened just now? ”

"I don't know, ma'am, that bowl flew out of its own right. ”

"Is there a ghost?" said Madame's voice, which was low and angry.

Director Liao was completely silent in his own world, his gaze did not look at Gao Zhengnan, nor did he fall somewhere in this room, staring aimlessly straight ahead, he could not hear everything in the hall at all.

Hu Zishuo stood incognito in the study, holding Huang Amber in his hand, looked at Director Liao and said, "What kind of debt do you owe, don't you know in your heart?"

Director Liao said hollowly: "There is only this one thing. ”

Gao Zhengnan couldn't see Hu Zishuo or hear his voice, he only felt that Director Liao's words came without a beginning or end, but seeing that he looked decadent and seemed to have a sense of desolation, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Director!"

Director Liao was startled, like thunder and lightning passing through his ears, he woke up suddenly, his eyes loosened, and said, "I, I just now," he lowered his head and held his forehead with his hand: "I was a little tired just now." He gasped for breath, and his body suddenly sat down in his leather chair as if it had been emptied, and remained silent for a long time.

Gao Zhengnan looked at him and didn't dare to speak out easily, nor did he dare to leave, straightened up, and waited all the time.

Hu Zishuo moved his gaze to Gao Zhengnan and muttered, "Why do you have a sense of resentful spirits?

In the hall just now, he saw the moment when the last flower stand collapsed, and when he took out the yellow amber to recover the resentful spirit, the soul was extremely agile and sensed the danger, and immediately turned to the back kitchen and fled without a trace. He should have chased it, but this resentful spirit was not the source of the fierce spirit he was looking for, if it was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, there would be a bigger evil spirit behind, and the people here would not be able to survive even one of them. He could only stay there and watch Gao Zhengnan help Liao Zhijie up, but at that moment, he saw the scene after the bloody incident twenty years ago from Liao Zhijie's hasty eyes. This is a debt owed by Liao Zhijie, and he must face it himself.

The yellow amber in his hand emitted a strange brilliance, and Gao Zhengnan's blood had a mysterious power, making the yellow amber glow golden at once, and then emitting a faint blue mist. Hu Zishuo sighed: "Back then, in order to allow her to open the realm of life and death, I almost exhausted all means. What kind of blessing is there for you, this kid, to be able to get the power of the life and death realm without much effort. ”
