Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Sea

"Are you the bodyguard invited by Mr. Bai?" Wanwan's weak voice sounded from behind her.

"......" Lan Xingchen hesitated to tell her the truth and tell her who she was.

"Are you the bodyguard invited by Bai Qingzhou?" Wanwan raised her voice again.

"......" Lan Xingchen turned around and looked at her four eyes, looking at Wanwan's very guarded eyes, and his heart was inevitably sour.

β€œA

e you my bodygua

d? How about you

Chi

ese? Wanwan was a little puzzled, listening to his Chinese in the car before felt very pure, could it be just simple sentences?

"I... I am the bodyguard invited by Mr. Bai. Lan Xingchen weighed it and decided that it would be safer to make mistakes for the time being.

"How did Mr. Bai explain to you?" Wanwan looked at the man in front of her, his hair was long and messy, his face was full of beard, and his thin body didn't look like a bodyguard at all, and asked very vigilantly.

"Mr. Bai... Confess to do whatever it takes to keep you safe, you... How do you feel? I was in a coma for 2 days, do you remember what happened before? Lan Xingchen asked with concern.

"How do you~ know that I'm prone to forgetting something?" Wanwan knew that Bai Qingzhou never talked about her illness with others.

"Oh... Mr. Bai trusted me, so he told me some... Your condition. Lan Xingchen was originally able to make such a small lie, but in the face of Wanwan's distrustful eyes, his heart suddenly fell lonely, and his thoughts were confused, so he could only prevaricate at will.

"Where are we now? How do I get out? Can you contact Mr. Bai? Wanwan wanted to leave this ghost place immediately, and asked anxiously.

"I can't get in touch with the outside for the time being, and it's hard to get out, and I may have to stay for a few days." Lan Xingchen looked at Wanwan's anxious way to get rid of him, and said with some deliberate anger.

"What!" Wanwan was anxious and panicked, stood up and wanted to go out, but her body was weak and she almost fell.

"Be careful! Wan..."Lan Xingchen hurriedly went to help her, almost calling out her name.

"Don't touch me!" Wanwan hurriedly stepped back, her eyes full of horror and even some disgust.

"Yes... I'm sorry. Lan Xingchen knew that he was abrupt, but he was disgusted by Wanwan or unconsciously developed an inferiority complex, which was also a feeling he often had after recovering from a serious illness. Lan Xingchen hung his head and went out silently.

After Bai Qingzhou returned to the United States, he hurried to meet Meng Jie after meeting the police and private detectives.

"It's been 3 days, you're finally back, the police have no clue, you hurry up and think about what enemies, competitors or something?"

"I'll investigate this, you can quickly tell me the details at that time."

"The kidnappers were all masked, and I could only see that they were all white, and I couldn't see the rest."

"Who is with you? I've watched the surveillance video, and I'm good, so desperately catching up, isn't it Wanwan's friend? ”

"Count... It can be regarded as an acquaintance, and he used to be Uncle Jiang's subordinate, this is the nature of the police, of course, he has to do everything to save Wanwan. ”

"Yes...... Blue Star? Bai Qingzhou asked tentatively.

"It's not him, Lan Xingchen is still lying in the hospital, and he can't protect himself. With me is the old man of the police force. Meng Jie knew that Lan Xingchen was suspicious of both Bai Qingzhou and Song Qingshan, so he was very wary of them.

"Okay, I'll contact you again if there's news, go back and rest."

"How can I be in the mood to rest, but you tell me whether the police have found it, whether they have checked the surveillance? Did the kidnapper's car be checked? And also... There is also a mobile phone signal, grab it with big data? ”

"The license plate is fake, there is no clue, and you also know the surveillance in the United States, there are not many of them, and they can't be found not far from the airport, and the mobile phone signal has long been cut off."

"So you haven't found anything? What kind of efficiency is this? ”

"I'll let the private investigator continue to investigate, don't worry too much."

"You have a suspicion, don't you? Tell me about it! ”

"Probably my family."

"Huh? What's the situation? Wealthy grievances? ”

"I won't tell you in detail about Jia Chou, if it's my family, I don't have to worry too much about Wanwan's safety, they should just use her to force me."

"What if it's not your family?"

"That's troublesome, we haven't received any calls from the kidnappers at the moment, and we can't figure out what their whereabouts are."

Lan Xingchen sat silently at the door of the "home" for a long, long time, guarding the people in the family, suffering from gains and losses, in a dilemma, he could feel that Wanwan was very dependent on Bai Qingzhou now, maybe she really didn't need to go over, she should put everything aside and move on. He began to reflect on himself, he was so ridiculous that he wanted to live here with Wanwan, she must have disliked this earthen house very much, and wanted to dislike herself! He looked at the unfinished bamboo chair next to him, so shabby, like his humble self as dust, Lan Xingchen hated himself like this, he decided to take Wanwan to find a way out tomorrow.

Wanwan sat on the bed and calmed down for a while, thinking that if this man was a bad person, she would probably have returned to her hometown long ago. In such a world where there are only two people, they should trust each other more, she looked at the tomato juice carefully prepared for her on the bamboo table, and suddenly felt a little ashamed. Huang Wanwan walked out of the earthen house, came outside, and saw that this man was dismantling a bamboo chair, with injuries on his arms, hands, and even his face, so she stepped forward and said apologetically: "Thank you for saving me, this bamboo chair is doing very well, why do you want to dismantle it?" ”

"Superfluous!"

"The tomato juice just now was delicious, where did you find it? I'm a little hungry."

"I'm sorry, I'm going to make soup." Lan Xingchen patronized himself and was so lost that he forgot to cook.

"What kind of rice?"

"Bamboo rat soup."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Anything else? ”

"Tomato and bamboo rat soup."

"Okay, what do you need me to do?"

"Catch bamboo rats, kill bamboo rats, cook bamboo rats, you choose one."

"Catch a bamboo rat." Wanwan said without thinking.

"......" Lan Xingchen looked up at her, he thought she would definitely choose to cook bamboo rats.

"What's wrong? Is it hard to catch? Wanwan knew that she had no cooking skills, and catching bamboo rats sounded interesting, so she chose this one.

"No, I was just joking, the bamboo rat is already in the pot, just cook it."

After a while, the two of them ate hot bamboo rat soup, at this time it was already dark, the two of them sat in the house, watching the moonlight while eating, in order to save candles, Lan Xingchen did not push half of the roof back and cover it, but just sat at home and looked up to enjoy the moonlight. Today, the moon was very round, and the moonlight sprinkled on Wanwan's hair, Lan Xingchen recalled the scene of following her several times when she was in college, the feeling of being close at hand but far away in the world.

"You also made these bamboo chopsticks, right?" Wanwan chatted casually in order to break the silence.

"Hmm."

"Which direction are we going tomorrow?"

"Listen to you."

"I'm tired, go to sleep, recharge my batteries, and hope to go out tomorrow."

"Okay." After speaking, Lan Xingchen turned his head and walked outside.

At night, Wanwan woke up from the cold, she covered her sheepskin, and suddenly thought that the bodyguard would be colder outside? Huang Wanwan walked outside and saw the person curled up on the bamboo board, she couldn't bear it, so she pushed him: "Alas, wake up, wake up." ”

"Something?"

"It's cold outside, and it's humid, so come in and sleep."

"Rough skin and thick meat, it's fine."

"Heh, where do you have meat, I really don't know how you became a bodyguard, your temper is still so bad, you have always ignored me, how did I provoke you?" Wanwan saw that he didn't appreciate it, and she didn't open her eyes, and she was very angry.

Lan Xingchen sat up and said helplessly: "You are my boss, I am just a bodyguard, I will escort you out safely, don't think about it." ”

"I'm really grateful to you, I will definitely let Mr. Bai reward you when you go out!" Wanwan didn't know what to say.

"Oh, thank you for the reward!" Lan Xingchen closed his eyes again and lay down again.

"I'm sorry, it's me who used the wrong words, I should really reflect on it, the capitalists have become accustomed to it over the years, and there is a lot less humanity among the Chinese people. You see, for a day, I didn't ask you what your name was, I always called you. No matter how we say it, we have lived and died together, let's make friends, my name is Huang Wanwan. Wanwan said as she lay down beside Lan Xingchen and covered a sheepskin quilt.

Lan Xingchen felt her lying behind him, his eyes widened in shock, and his body froze there.

"What? Still angry? Don't want to be my friend? ”

"Uh... No, my name is ...... Call me the sea, just call me the sea. Lan Xingchen made up a random name.

"Big ~ sea ~ has some connection with the name of Brother Qingzhou. How old are you? Where are the people? Are you married? Wanwan opened her heart and really wanted to make friends with this man.

Lan Xingchen turned over and looked up at the starry sky, and said slowly: "I am from the north, 35 years old, I have a sweetheart, I love her very much, as long as I can protect her, I can give up everything." Lan Xingchen said and found that Wanwan had fallen asleep, he smiled, took out a map and looked at it, and secretly decided, so be it, go back, return to reality.
