Jiang Huaining picked up the phone, turned on the speakerphone, put the phone down, and took off the wet clothes on his body.

Hu Shengdong's voice sounded in the room through the earpiece, explaining the task as usual, and the tone did not fluctuate: "Ye Shunan's mother is here, and I have retired. The police came to the hospital half an hour to find Ye Shunan to make a record, but her mental state was so bad that she kept shaking and shedding tears, and she didn't ask anything."

Jiang Huaining was shirtless and held his clothes in his hands: "Got it."

"Ugh." Hu Shengdong didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, let alone a partner who has worked together for three or four years, even if it is a strange woman, when she hears that the other party has suffered this incident, she will sympathize, "The only good news is that the man was arrested and put in the game."

Jiang Huaining hummed without emotion.

"I'm just going to report to you, there's nothing else to do." Hu Shengdong was tired enough after being busy, "See you at the airport tomorrow morning."

On this trip to Ningcheng, Hu Shengdong accompanied Jiang Huaining over.

Jiang Huaining said "yes", hung up the phone, and turned to look at Lu Zhu, she tore off the bath towel and changed into a nightdress, and lay down in the quilt, only revealing her head: "Have you packed your suitcase for a business trip?"

Jiang Huaining walked to the side of the bed, bent down and rubbed her head: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine, but you, do you want to ask for leave to stay at home for a few days?" How can you go to work with your hand hurt like this?"

He didn't say that Lu Zhu also planned to take leave and not go to the company, maybe the next step was to resign.

She offended Zhao Dengke and was ready to make him pay, so there was no need to continue to stay in courtesy.

She can't tell Jiang Huaining about these things for the time being.

"Okay, I'll take a leave of absence tomorrow and won't go to the company." Lu Zhu followed his words.

Jiang Huaining was a little surprised, she was a typical hard-working and diligent student when she was a student, and she would be guilty of a long time to escape a night of self-study, and after entering the workplace, she was a typical workaholic, clocking in rain or shine, never being late, and working overtime was common. It is really difficult not to doubt that he followed his advice so easily and took leave to rest at home.

"Why are you so obedient?" Jiang Huaining stroked her cheek.

"The busiest time has passed, just time to relax, and ask for leave without delay." Lu Zhu never knew that his lying skills were so exquisite, and he couldn't help but applaud himself.

Afraid that Jiang Huaining would ask again and again, Lu Zhu's uninjured arm poked out of the quilt and pushed him: "You go take a bath."

Jiang Huaining took his pajamas and went to the bathroom.

As soon as he walked away, the indifference on Lu Zhu's face was all revealed, she closed her eyes, and the clips of those disgusting people in the office were automatically played in her mind uncontrollably.

She wanted to vomit, but she couldn't, and the undulating arc of her chest became more and more intense.

——

Jiang Huaining came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wiping the water droplets from his hair with a towel in his hand.

The takeout he ordered just arrived, he went to the door to bring it in, and the two of them ate it in the bedroom. He remembered that year when Lu Zhu flew to Pittsburgh to look for him, they hid in their rooms all day, like two rich little hamsters, eating delicious food and watching movies on the bed, full of relaxed and comfortable taste.

Those images feel like yesterday.

Lu Zhu ate a few chopsticks, had a poor appetite, and had nausea several times, and was pressed down by her, she didn't want to show anything strange in front of Jiang Huaining.

But her loss of appetite was on the surface, and Jiang Huaining couldn't ignore it, and asked her, "Don't you have an appetite?"

He ordered all the dishes she liked to eat, and because she was worried about her injuries, the dishes he chose were light, but they tasted very good.

Lu Zhu was speechless for a long time, and said hesitantly, "I ate too much for afternoon tea, and I'm not hungry." She pushed her share to him, "Eat more, don't waste it."

I hastily settled dinner, went to the bathroom to rinse my mouth, and lay down on the bed.

Jiang Huaining lay on her uninjured side, carefully wrapped his arms around her, set the alarm, and patted her waist: "Rest early, it will help you recuperate."

Lu Zhu curled his lips and smiled lightly: "Where do I need to take care of this little injury. You need to rest early and catch a flight tomorrow morning."

Jiang Huaining kissed her eyelids: "Good night."

The light went out, Lu Zhu closed his eyes, and couldn't sleep. After a long time, there was the sound of even breathing next to her, and she slowly opened her eyes in the dark.

If you don't dare to move your body, you will wake up the sleeping Jiang Huaining. Lu Zhu kept his eyes open, and half of his body was a little numb in the stiff posture for a long time, which was extremely uncomfortable.

The physical discomfort was far less than the psychological one, her heart was beating so fast, and she was still panicking.

Jiang Huaining rubbed her body a few times, he was obviously asleep, and he woke up at some point, and whispered vaguely in her ear: "Did you have a nightmare? My body is so tight......

Lu Zhu stiffened, turned sideways slightly, and buried his face in his chest.

She used to say that his body was like a big stove in the summer, and it was torment to sleep with him. The words are false, and his arms are super secure and can drive away all uneasiness.

Lu Zhu heard himself hum: "I had a nightmare, I dreamed of a bad person."

Jiang Huaining raised his hand, bypassed her arm, stroked her back, and coaxed her in a low and gentle voice, like coaxing a child who couldn't sleep peacefully at night: "It's okay, it's just a dream, I'm here."

"Hmm."

Lu Zhu fell asleep, but he really had a nightmare.

In the dream, Zhao Dengke's face was magnified several times, distorted, ugly, floating in front of her eyes, making all kinds of terrifying expressions. She was locked up in the dark room around her, without even a window, and she was huddled in the corner with her knees cradled as hard as she could, her body trembling and trying to squeeze into the crack in the wall.

Zhao Dengke grabbed her ankle and dragged her out of the corner......

Lu Zhu screamed, breathing rapidly and waking up from his sleep, his waving arm hit somewhere, and a clear pain accelerated the speed of his brain's wakefulness.

Jiang Huaining woke up suddenly, turned on the lamp, and the warm orange light hit his face, shining the sweat on Lu Zhu's face. He hugged her body and wiped the fine beads of sweat for her: "Are you having nightmares again?"

Lu Zhu sat up, she couldn't sleep anymore, she didn't dare to sleep, tilted her head and leaned on him: "Maybe there was too much pressure at work some time ago."

Jiang Huaining accompanied her, finding some light things to tell her and divert her attention.

Before you know it, the sky is already blue with smoke.

In summer, the sky dawns early, and it is only a blink of an eye away from the white belly of the fish.

Lu Zhu wanted Jiang Huaining to sleep a little longer, but he heard the alarm ringing on his mobile phone at an inopportune time, as if urging his life, ticking and ticking, and it was harsh.

——

Jiang Huaining was still very uneasy before leaving the house, Lu Zhu yawned and copied his previous words: "Don't worry about me."

"How can you not worry about it?"

Jiang Huaining reluctantly stood on the floor mat at the door, the black suitcase standing next to his lap.

He went to Ningcheng this time, at least three days, at most a week, and the return ticket had not been booked, so he couldn't wait to come back.

Lu Zhu leaned against the door frame, his head tilted to the side against the door frame: "Don't worry about me, I can ask for leave to rest at home, you still have a tough battle to fight." She waved her hand and said chicly, "Let's go quickly, if you delay the boarding time, Hu Shengdong will chase you to the ends of the earth."

Jiang Huaining was amused, and the atmosphere was a little more relaxed.

Seeing him enter the elevator, Lu Zhu retreated into the house, closed the door, and with a "bang" fell on her ears, she covered her mouth and rushed to the bathroom, lying on the side of the washstand and vomiting.

She hadn't eaten a few bites last night, she couldn't vomit at all, she vomited several times, and spit out a puddle of pale yellow liquid, and her mouth was bitter.

Lu Zhu took the warm water and rinsed her mouth, supported her hands on both sides of the washstand, slowed down, raised her neck, and her red eyes were reflected in the mirror.

Even though she couldn't eat it, she cooked herself a pot of porridge. The broken can is broken, and I didn't call my boss to ask for leave. What kind of leave to take, her boss is Zhao Dengke.

Lu Zhu sat in the empty living room, boiling porridge bubbling in the pot, and the continuous grunt added a touch of fireworks to the silent space.

She sat there for a while, then went back to her room and picked up her phone, found a lawyer with a good relationship from the address book, and consulted him on how to handle the case.

——

Jiang Huaining and Hu Shengdong successfully arrived in Ningcheng, and after landing, Jiang Huaining sent Lu Zhu a message of safety. Hu Shengdong also sent it to his girlfriend.

Lu Zhu quickly replied: "Got it."

Hu Shengdong's mobile phone didn't move for a long time, glanced at Jiang Huaining's mobile phone screen, and said sourly, "It's really fast, doesn't your girlfriend have to go to work?"

Jiang Huaining glanced at him: "She took a few days off."

"Oh, no wonder." Hu Shengdong pretended that he was not jealous.

Jiang Huaining looked at the cheerful three words on the screen, and his eyes, which were a little sleepy due to lack of sleep last night, blinked slowly, and he still felt that something was wrong.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Hu Shengdong slapped him on the shoulder while dragging his suitcase as he walked: "Cheer up, big brother, I heard from the grapevine that in addition to our studio, several other game companies that are already well-known have come to get a piece of the pie." We're in a bad situation."

Before leaving, he was full of confidence, and after hearing about the names of those companies, his self-confidence was cut in half.

Jiang Huaining put his mobile phone in his pocket: "Which companies?"

"Borche Technology, Mandy Interactive Entertainment, FG Digital." Hu Shengdong listed them one by one, and praised FG Digital, "The mobile game that FG released last year made a lot of money, and my cousin in elementary school is playing it, so I really want to cry to death because I still have to raise money."

Jiang Huaining's mind was half on Lu Zhu, and half was listening to him.

Hu Shengdong glanced at him, feeling that he was distracted, and was a little irritable: "Are you listening?"

Jiang Huaining's eyes focused for a moment, revealing his ambition: "No matter what, I will swallow the whole cake, and I will not let others cut even one bite." ap.

"Yes, keep it up."

Hu Shengdong shook his shoulders and made a posture of showing his strength, and the blood in his body was mobilized.
