Chapter Seventy-Four: Peace of Mind
Cold sweat slipped down her forehead, Gu Ning was still holding the fragment in her hand, because she was too nervous, the fragment had been deeply embedded in the flesh, and the blood slipped from the cracks of her fingers, but she didn't notice it.
"Gu Ning?" The voice of the person standing behind Gu Ning was puzzled, and he recognized her directly.
Gu Ning's hand on the handrail of the stairs trembled, she finally reacted from the huge panic, Mu Ran turned around, and said in amazement: "Secretary Du?"
The moment she saw Du Chen, Gu Ning remembered that the woman had mentioned Secretary Du when she knocked on the door.
"Why are you here?" Du Chen asked again, he didn't know that Gu Ning had sent himself to the wolf's den in order to explore the stronghold, only that Jiang Chi was looking for the other party.
Looking at Gu Ning, who was obviously flustered, he frowned and was very puzzled, "Mr. Jiang has been looking for you, why are you here? There is also the sound of explosions upstairs......
Gu Ning interrupted him, "I did it, in order to escape." She didn't have much time to explain, she caught a glimpse of someone walking down the corner of the stairs, she could only hide in the room next to her, secretly praying in her heart that Du Chen could understand what she had just said and help her cover it up.
The bodyguard who came down from upstairs obviously saw Du Chen, "Secretary Du, there was an explosion upstairs, please leave the villa first, you can talk about the documents later." ”
Du Chen didn't leave, but asked rhetorically: "What about Mr. Yuan? It's just a signature, and it won't take long." ”
The bodyguard was a little embarrassed, he looked at Du Chen, who had no intention of leaving, hesitated, and said: "That's the case, our villa has entered the lawbreakers, just now, Mr. Yuan has died after being attacked by the other party." ”
Du Chen never expected to get such an answer, he froze in place, he clutched the document in his arms with difficulty, and Gu Ning, who was obviously highly nervous just now, appeared in his mind, and was full of doubts in his heart, "So that's the case......"
The bodyguard said politely: "This outlaw may still be in this villa, please leave the villa first, so we can continue the search." ”
This outlaw obviously really said Gu Ning, how could Du Chen not leave like this and let Gu Ning be caught by the bodyguards, but he didn't have a good explanation, and there was hesitation in his eyes.
"Mr. Yuan and I are also business partners, and we will distribute goods for this matter. With a cold voice, Du Chen looked back at Jiang Chi who was walking up the stairs and breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Jiang." ”
Jiang Chi bowed, he raised his eyes to look at the bodyguard, "You go and get busy, we will leave soon." ”
The bodyguard originally wanted to search the second floor, but seeing that Jiang Chi said that he was leaving, but he stood at the staircase on the second floor without moving, he was entangled for a while, and chose to go downstairs to search first.
After the others left, Jiang Chi suddenly turned around, and with a stretch of his long arm, he dragged out Gu Ning who was hiding behind the door, Gu Ning was caught off guard and crashed directly into the other party's arms.
"Gu Ning. Jiang Chi's voice was low, and he looked at Gu Ning's panicked, pupils constricted, and in an instant, the fire rising in his chest turned into distress, his fingers were raised, and finally landed on Gu Ning's cheeks, pulling the broken hair behind her ears for her.
Jiang Chi sighed, "Don't do such a dangerous thing in the future." ”
Gu Ning bit her lower lip tightly, but big tears slipped from her eyes, she looked at Jiang Chi with wide eyes, obviously she was so flustered and scared before, but now those emotions disappeared like the ebb tide.
Gu Ning lowered her head, her cheek was pressed against Jiang Chi's chest, the other party's heartbeat was steady and powerful, she heard it clearly, and her heart gradually became extremely calm.
Fingers unconsciously grabbed Jiang Chi's shirt, Gu Ning whispered under Jiang Chi's gaze, tears still sliding down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Jiang Chi frowned, he raised Gu Ning's face, and let the other party's gaze inevitably meet him, "Don't cry." His fingertips wiped away tears, and his voice was almost gentle.
"I'm here, you don't have to be afraid. Compared to Du Chen, who couldn't figure out the situation, Jiang Chi had already understood everything, he lowered his head, the faces of the two were extremely close, and the lenses couldn't cover Jiang Chi's eyes as deep as the sea, he looked at Gu Ning, her embarrassed posture was reflected in his eyes, there was no pity and disgust, he just understood and tolerated Gu Ning's everything.
Gu Ning seemed to have fallen into a deep sea called Jiang Chi, and was willing to indulge in it.
Gu Ning's bloodless lips trembled, she had already had heart palpitations many times, but her atrium, which had always been closed, finally cracked open at this moment.
Du Chen coughed lightly and said embarrassedly: "Mr. Jiang, if you don't leave, those people will search this floor." ”
Jiang Chi glanced at him and let go of the arm that was holding Gu Ning, "Let's get out of here first." ”
Gu Ning came back to her senses, she wiped the tears from her face casually, and said hesitantly, "But what do they do?" she motioned for the two to look at the woman lying on the bed unconscious.
"You get out of here first. Jiang Chi couldn't refuse to take Gu Ning's hand, "Yuan Lin is dead, now the Yuan family is in a mess, it's easy to take these women away, when you leave safely, I will have people come and take them away." ”
With Jiang Chi's guarantee, Gu Ning no longer procrastinated, and quickly left the villa under the cover of the two.
It wasn't until she got into the car that Gu Ning's spirit completely relaxed, she looked at the third floor through the car window that was still emitting black smoke, her eyes were cold, and she didn't retract her gaze until the car drove away.
She turned her head and met Shang Jiang Chi's gaze, and in an instant, her heart was lifted again.
But fortunately, Jiang Chi didn't plan to ask her in the car, and when he saw that she was nervous, he withdrew his gaze.
Du Chen drove the car, and he asked, "Mr. Jiang, where are we going now?"
Jiang Chi said: "Go to my house." He noticed Gu Ning's abnormal movement, and his gaze shifted over, "What?"
"It's fine. Gu Ning lowered her head, not daring to refute.
Waiting for Du Chen to stop the car, Gu Ning was like a child who had done something wrong, and followed Jiang Chi into the villa with his head down.
Gu Ning had been reflecting on what she had done in her mind, and when she found out that she was indeed reckless and almost pitted herself, she felt that she was inevitably going to be scolded, so she hung her shoulders a little frustratedly.
"Meow. A soft touch came from her ankles, Gu Ning stopped, looked at the milk cat who was rubbing against her, and had grown up a lot, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Jiang Chi, who was walking in front, also heard the movement, turned around and lifted the milk cat from the ground into his arms, "You go wash first." He frowned and looked at Gu Ning, who was wearing a men's suit with a blood-stained dress inside.
Gu Ning nodded, she glanced back before entering the bathroom, and saw Jiang Chi standing motionless, holding the cat and staring at her, her heart suddenly trembled, and she hurriedly closed the bathroom door.
