"Kill him and you'll live. Quick, kill him! ”

In a daze, Zhang Maru felt that someone was talking in her ear. When she opened her eyes, it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything clearly.

She found herself completely unable to move. Suddenly, a light flashed right in front of her, and the blinding light made her close her eyes for a moment.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw her mother, dressed in plain clothes, with her hair disheveled, her face very dirty, her mouth covered with a black cloth, and her hands and feet tied behind the chair with ropes, because there were visible blood stains on her struggling feet.

After seeing Zhang Maru, he was even more excited, struggling violently, looking at her with helpless eyes, his slightly old face was crawling with sadness, and fell into that light. If you look closely, there are tears in the corners of your eyes, and your mouth makes a whining sound, which is unbearable.

Zhang Maru, who was wearing civilian clothes, looked at her mother's eyes, saw her appearance, sat on the ground trembling, and remembered to untie her, but her body seemed to be shackled, and she couldn't speak or move.

"Kill your beloved, and you'll live forever." The voice came into Zhang Maru's ears in due time.

After that, the laughter continued to last, going and returning in the darkness, which was extremely terrifying, and she felt that all her strength was drained.

In the next second, her hand was unconsciously raised, she wanted to control it, but she couldn't stop at all.

A pair of apricot eyes were swollen as she saw the familiar face gradually enlarge, and fear and fear filled her countenance. She couldn't scream, just shook her head vigorously.

When her painfully twisted face twisted together, there was already an extra knife in her hand, and before she could react, a force dragged her and the knife in her hand straight to the chest of the person in front of her.

"No !!"

Tears blurred her eyes, and she fell to the ground weakly, not realizing that the person she stabbed to death was not her mother.

Zhang Maru trembled all over, curled up in a ball, and covered her heart, where there seemed to be constant pain.

accompanied by a man's muffled snort, as if in the next second, his heart was about to die of pain. She shouted desperately, but there was still dead silence all around.

In the dark, a woman slowly paced out, wearing a pale green Liuyun Luo shirt skirt swaying gently, walked to Zhang Maru, leaned over to look at the woman who looked similar to herself, her apricot eyes flashed slightly, an unknown pain came from her heart, and the turquoise hairpin on her head was shining, everything looked particularly weird.

Zhang Maru, who was lying on the ground, felt that someone was approaching, she raised her eyes and saw a face exactly like herself approaching, she was not panicked or afraid, and tried to reach out to the woman in green, the woman also stretched out her slender hand, and when the two hands were about to touch, one of them slowly fell.

Only a pair of apricot eyes stared at the woman in green, struggling to open her mouth. The woman's thin eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her hand was never lowered, as if she understood what the other party said.

The woman in green was in a trance for a moment, and the lying person slowly closed her eyes as if she was dead.

She bent down to touch the man on the ground, and the pain in her heart became more and more intense, and there was already a person floating beside her, who said to her with the same face: "Live well for me!" ”

The woman in green raised her eyes to look at her, her eyes were facing each other, her face changed slightly, and the person had gradually become transparent.

A tear slid down her cheek out of the corner of her eye, and she reached out to grab the other, but she didn't catch anything except a smiling response.

The woman in room 402 of a luxury hotel suddenly woke up and sat up.

"Don't!"

She raised her hand to touch her warm cheeks, the expression in her apricot eyes was complex and changeable, wet and I don't know whether it was sweat or tears, and her delicate little round face showed a look unknown to others.

She gasped slightly, trying to calm her mind, this was the eighth time in recent days that she had the same dream. After seeing the devastation on the bed, the white fingertips rubbed among her people, trying to sober herself.

The pillow on the bed was thrown by her, the snow-white quilt had slid down the edge of the bed and fell to the ground, and it was already a little cold wrapped in a thin pajamas.

She got up and got out of bed and walked to the side, grabbed a red coat and draped it over her body, a warmth hit her and made her conscious slightly, and then moved into the bathroom.

Looking at the familiar but unfamiliar face in the mirror, she raised her hand and gently touched the side of her cheek to carefully trace the outline, this is a delicate little round face, under the fine eyelashes is a pair of extremely pure almond eyes, with a straight nose, the cherry-like mouth is slightly pursed, which makes her lose her mind for a moment.

I clearly remember in my mind that my name is Zhang Maru, and she is the director of X Group, and this time I came to B City to discuss cooperation.

Her slender white hand touched the silver-white jade pendant on her chest, thinking carefully about the events of the past few days.

On the first day of dinner, I was forced to drink a lot of wine, and I was delirious and didn't know how to get back to my room. When I woke up the next day, I had this jade pendant on my body for some reason, and I had the same nightmare for the next few nights.

Zhang Maru can clearly feel that she is not the person lying in the dream, and even she and the person in her mind are not the same person in terms of preferences or behavior, but what can a dream say?

She took off the jade pendant and looked at it with her eyes, this jade pendant was silver and white, and there was a strange pattern in the middle of it, red as blood, she couldn't see what it was, and she couldn't see anything abnormal.

She searched all the memories in her mind, but none of them existed. How did this jade pendant appear on her?

A bell interrupted her thoughts, and she hurriedly put on her jade pendant and walked to the living room.

Unbeknownst to her, just as she put it on, an unknown pattern flashed and disappeared behind her ear.

She picked up her phone and pressed it to answer, and a clear voice came from the other side.

"Director, according to reliable sources, Group C has also sent representatives to discuss cooperation, and Mr. Zhou seems to be more interested in their plan, what do you think?"

Zhang Maru listened fixedly, and only asked, "Where are they now?" ”

"...... at the Xingcheng Hotel"

"Drive to the hotel to pick me up in ten minutes." The unfinished words were interrupted by Zhang Maru.

She pinched off her mobile phone, picked up the briefcase on the side and put the mobile phone aside, walked quickly into the bathroom, changed into a blue formal suit after a brief wash, picked up the briefcase in the living room and walked to the door, bent down and went out with a pair of black high heels.

After getting into the car, her assistant Xiao Chen drove, and Zhang Maru took out a set of cosmetics from her bag as soon as she sat down and began to retouch herself.

"Director Zhang, you have a good face, in fact, you can do it without makeup."

Xiao Chen, who was driving in the front seat, opened his mouth to break the quiet atmosphere, he had a delicate face, his slender and tall eyebrows were not as stretched as the car, his thin ruddy lips were closed, and a pair of Ruifeng eyes glanced at the people in the back seat through the rearview mirror from time to time, and raised his hand to support the frame to hide his embarrassment.

He is a little unaccustomed to the changes in the director's personality in the past few days, the director used to be very serious in front of business, but he was extremely friendly to them in private, and he didn't put on a stand at all because he was a subordinate.

But since the business trip, he always felt that the director was weird, to say that she had changed, it seemed that she had not, to say that she had not changed, as soon as he quieted down, he felt uncomfortable, and for a moment he felt that he was thinking too much.

Zhang Maru ignored him, and lost his sentence without raising his head: "Drive well, and drive faster." ”

The doubts in her stomach could not stop her cooperation this time, and she remembered the military order under the leadership of Li Jianshan before leaving:

If this cooperation talks fall apart, you can leave.
