I drove to that remote town, and tried to open the letter several times on the way, but I was afraid that I would leave traces and startle the snake, so I simply endured it.

As long as you see the recipient, you may be able to touch the melon.

From the moment the car drove out of the city, I always felt like the car behind me was following me.

There were a lot of cars out of the city, but my speed was not fast, and the cars behind me had ample opportunities to overtake, but they kept following me unhurriedly.

I didn't dare to get rid of it rashly, and vaguely speculated in my heart that it might be someone sent by Wu Meixin.

I was entrusted with such an important letter, and even though I was in the name of Alice, she would not fully believe Alice.

Send a car out to keep an eye on me, also afraid that I will defect temporarily, right?

I glanced through the rearview mirror and silently jotted down the license plate, thinking about checking the car when I got back.

And just as I drove the car to the side of the town, the car that was following me disappeared at some point.

I frowned and fell into self-doubt.

Am I too sensitive and suspicious? The car just happened to be on the same route as me.

I didn't think much of it, the car drove to the town square and stopped there.

The road to the gateway is narrower, and although the car can drive in, I am afraid that it will be very troublesome to turn around later.

I screened one house by house according to the house number, and finally stopped at the address given to me by Wu Meixin.

I tapped on the door and heard a rough question from inside, "Who!" ”

The tone was so angry that I couldn't help but slap my hand on the door.

Then, the courtyard door was opened from the inside, and a scarred face appeared in front of him.

That sharp look made me feel frightened.

Scarface stared at me coldly, "You're looking for me?" ”

"Are you living alone?" I asked tentatively, glancing inside the door, it was an ordinary courtyard, and I didn't see anyone else.

"I'm alone." Scarface asked me impatiently, "Who told you to come to me?" What are you looking for me for? ”

I took out the letter Wu Meixin gave me, "Someone asked me to hand over this letter to you." ”

Before I could hand it out, Scarface reached out and snatched it away.

He tore open the envelope and unfolded it, his face darkening.

This made me even more curious about the content of the letter.

Scarface suddenly raised his eyes and met me, "You can sit down first." I have something you need to bring to her for me. ”

I walked in behind Scarface, looking at the courtyard.

The yard is very small, and the distance from the gate of the yard to the entrance of the house is only about ten steps. The house is also very old, and the window frames are all broken and have not been replaced.

Looks like this Scarface should have been living here for not long.

I sat on a stone bench in the courtyard and waited for a moment, when I saw Scarface come over empty-handed.

I asked, "Where's the thing?" ”

He reached into his pocket, and I wondered even more about what it was.

Suddenly, there was a flash of cold light, and his expression became hideous, and he held the knife in his hand and slashed straight at me.

My mind went blank at this point, almost instinctively dodging.

Scarface stabbed the first time in the air, and without even giving me a chance to react, he stabbed the second time quickly.

I grabbed the teapot and cup in my hand and threw my head at him.

This caused Scarface to take two steps back, and anger rose on his face at the same time.

My heart tightened, I knew that I was definitely not Scarface's opponent, and I couldn't fight him with my physical strength, and I would be dead in this courtyard.

My eyes were fixed on the courtyard door, and I rushed over it now, and before I could open it, Scarface must have held me down, and I had to limit his movements.

As he approached, I took a few steps back and deliberately sat on the ground with a limp squat.

Scarface snorted coldly and let down his guard and approached me, "Don't be afraid, I'm going to do it very simply, and I won't let you die too painfully!" ”

He smiled grimly, raised his knife, and instantly grabbed a handful of dirt in my hand and threw it in his face.

The next second, I got up and rushed to the door, and as soon as I took two steps, I was grabbed by the hair, and I fell back unexpectedly, and my back hit Scarface's chest.

His yin owl voice sounded in my ears, "It's really not good, play this kind of trick with me, you are still a little tender!" ”

As he spoke, he had already raised his hand, the tip of the knife aimed at my carotid artery.

I was devastated, I was swallowed up by fear, and I closed my eyes in despair.

"Bang!"

"Uh......"

Two sounds in quick succession, and the hand that grabbed my hair suddenly loosened.

I opened my eyes in disbelief, and Li Yunzhou was walking towards me, and Scarface was lying on the ground, his head bleeding, and a blood-stained brick lying next to him.

I stood there in shock, still not recovering from my death.

"You're not hurt, are you?" Li Yunzhou asked me with concern.

I shook my head indifferently, looking at the scarred face lying on the ground, and my voice trembled slightly: "He...... You didn't think he was beaten to death, right? ”

Li Yunzhou squatted down and probed his breath, "Don't worry, you're still alive." Just fainted. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief.

has been with Su Yu and Huang Que for a long time, and I have seen more of this kind of scene.

What's more, it was Scarface who wanted to kill me first, and it was even more unlikely that I would pity his life, I just didn't want Li Yunzhou to put himself on the back of a life lawsuit for me.

Li Yunzhou got up and grabbed my arm, urging, "Let's get out of here quickly." ”

"Wait a minute!" I pushed his hand away, a doubt in my mind that needed to be verified.

Scarface didn't know me at all, and couldn't have suddenly killed me for no reason. He had murderous intent on me, probably after reading the letter that Wu Meixin asked me to hand over.

I rummaged through Scarface's pocket and found the letter, a thin piece of paper with only one line on it—

"Kill the messenger."

My heart thumped.

Wu Meixin sent me to deliver the letter, just to kill me with Scarface's hand?!

She must have seen that I wasn't Alice, but when was I exposed?

Was it after she went to the study yesterday?

I frowned, more at a loss.

The plan that Wu Shuang and I painstakingly devised still failed, and there were no other clues except for the documents that we copied on the disk yesterday.

But Xixi is still with Wu Shuang. I haven't been able to satisfy Wu Shuang, and he won't return Xixi to me.

I was stunned, and Li Yunzhou pulled me again, "Let's go, if someone from the town passes by later, I can't tell clearly." ”

I didn't want to cause trouble to Li Yunzhou, so I let him pull me out of this small courtyard.

He soothed my emotions as he walked: "Don't worry, even if he wakes up, he won't dare to call the police, I have investigated, he is a fugitive, hiding in Tibet, I am afraid that the police will catch him, and calling the police will only throw himself into the net." ”

I looked at him with suspicion, how could he know so clearly? And why did he appear here so coincidentally?
