The rosy morning light colored the sky. Zhang Moyan walked out of the glass revolving door of the hotel lobby. There were not many vehicles on the road at that early hour. She took a deep breath of the fresh air of the small town with some nostalgia, as if she had made a major decision.
Take out your mobile phone and prepare to call a taxi to the airport.
Just after I pressed the button to turn on the screen, before I could enter the unlock password, a call came in. A series of unfamiliar numbers showed that it was a number in the Ruzhou area.
Zhang Moyan answered the call hesitantly, and Xiao Huai's voice came from the phone: "Miss Zhang, where are you now?"
He spoke a little hastily. Zhang Moyan guessed that the other party must have found the envelope left for him when he left Xiao's house last night. It contained more than 20,000 yuan, which was all Xiao Huai bought clothes for her last time in the mall.
Fees.
"I'm already at the airport terminal." Zhang Moyan quickly replied to avoid future trouble.
"That's good, don't leave yet, come out quickly!" Xiao Huai said.
Coming out? Zhang Moyan is inexplicable.
We already told him that he was in the terminal. He thought the airport was a movie theater and he could come out whenever he wanted? And knowing that he had the purpose of paying back the money, it was even more impossible for him to "agree to go out".
"I'm about to board the plane..."
"Grandpa Guotao suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and was admitted to the hospital!"
Zhang Moyan's unfinished lines were interrupted by Xiao Huai's words. By chance, a pick-up car stopped in front of the hotel and honked the horn at Zhang Moyan who was blocking the way.
Drop——
Xiao Huai heard it immediately on the other end: "You haven't arrived at the airport yet, have you? Where are you? I'll go pick you up now! Uncle Chai said something went wrong after grandpa looked for you last night, so we want to find out from you.
Check out the situation!"
The moment Zhang Moyan heard that Xiao Guotao had a cerebral hemorrhage, his heart skipped a beat. When he heard Xiao Huai say this, he completely forgot what he said about being at the airport.
"Which hospital Mr. Xiao is in, I can call him directly!"
"I'm on the way now. Tell me where you are and I'll pick you up directly!" Xiao Huai couldn't help but say.
"I'm at the Four Seasons Holiday Inn on Xihuan Road. I'm at the door of the hotel now." Zhang Moyan told the truth.
"Okay, I'll be there in about 10 minutes, wait for me!" Xiao Huai ended the call briefly.
Zhang Moyan was waiting anxiously at the door of the hotel with two pieces of luggage. How could Xiao Guotao suddenly have a cerebral hemorrhage and go to the hospital? Could it be related to the content of her chat last night? The old man was indeed in a mood when talking about his old friend yesterday.
Some ups and downs...
In less than 10 minutes, Xiao Huai's BMW came to the door of the hotel. Despite the current situation, he got out of the car very gentlemanly, went around to the other side, opened the door for Zhang Moyan and asked her to enter, which showed that
The qualities of self-cultivation that a truly famous person should have.
"When did Mr. Xiao have a cerebral hemorrhage? How is he doing now?" Zhang Moyan couldn't wait to ask as soon as the car started.
"I discovered it early this morning," Xiao Huai said as he held the steering wheel: "Grandpa Guotao has always had a regular schedule. Uncle Chai only found out when he found out that he didn't get up on time and called him!"
"How is he now?"
"I just finished my first surgery and I haven't woken up yet."
"Then should I go to the hospital now?"
Xiao Huai stepped on the accelerator and was silent for a moment: "I will go home now. The elders are waiting for you at home!"
Zhang Moyan paused for a moment, feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with this sentence.
"They are all waiting for me? Why don't they take care of Mr. Xiao in the hospital? If I have anything to say, I can go directly to the hospital to say it!"
Xiao Huai gave her a meaningful look: "There are two aunts and aunts taking care of us in the hospital. Let's go home first."
Zhang Moyan felt an uneasy feeling in his heart.
A red light lit up ahead. Xiao Huai stopped the car temporarily and turned around: "Miss Zhang, we also lost something very important."
Zhang Moyan's stomach suddenly tightened, and his throat began to tighten involuntarily: "What is it?"
"Grandpa Guotao's five notebooks," Xiao Huai's dark eyes looked directly into people's hearts, "his life's work!"
Under his insightful gaze, Zhang Moyan couldn't help but feel chills all over his body: "Why are you looking at me like this?! You don't think I took it, do you?"
Xiao Huai said nothing. When the traffic lights ahead changed, he turned around and started the car.
No wonder Xiao Huai was so enthusiastic about helping her put her luggage into the trunk just now. It turned out to be to withhold evidence!
Zhang Moyan looked at Xiao Huai's calm profile and suddenly felt a little angry: "You doubt me? Why do you doubt me? What kind of notebook? I don't even know whether it is square or round?!"
She will never accept this cauldron falling from the sky.
Xiao Huai's tone was calm: "No one told you to take it. We just want to understand the situation first. After all, you are the last outsider that grandpa met." He paused, "And your identity is indeed very suspicious."
Zhang Moyan took a breath of air-conditioning. A person as polite as Xiao Huai said this, and he almost said it with certainty. Then the other people waiting at the Xiao family can imagine what a terrifying state they would be in.<
/p>
"Stop! Stop!" Zhang Moyan rebounded subconsciously, "I didn't steal anything, don't go back with you!"
This attitude made Xiao Huai find her even more suspicious: "Don't be nervous, no one said you were the one who stole the notes."
"Nothing!" Zhang Moyan said anxiously, "You have already preconceived ideas and I can't possibly explain clearly! Stop the car! If you don't stop, I will jump out of the car!"
In desperation, Zhang Moyan unbuckled her seat belt and opened the car door, but the car door had already been locked tightly by Xiao Huai.
"Miss Zhang, I hope you will cooperate, otherwise we will hand you over to the police directly!" Xiao Huai gave her an ultimatum to be polite before fighting.
Zhang Moyan's hand holding the car door stopped moving. What if he handed it over to the police?
Crimes like this involving theft of trade secrets are criminal cases. No matter what, they will definitely be locked up and detained first, and this kind of detention can last up to 7 months!
As for the technical skills that may be encountered during the interrogation process, she has heard about them before, and they are definitely much more severe than facing the Xiao elders directly...
In the closed carriage, beeps sounded one after another to remind her that she was not wearing a seat belt.
Zhang Moyan was frightened, thinking of being detained by the police, thinking of the consequences of being detained, maybe she might not be able to get a certificate of no criminal record in the future... She silently pulled the seat belt from behind and put it on.
Xiao Huai saw her actions, said nothing, and drove the car smoothly towards Xiao's house.
The buildings and greenery on both sides were retreating at a constant speed. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the Xiao family, Zhang Moyan's heart was beating more and more erratically.
Xiao Huai turned the steering wheel and turned into the last section of the branch road. Suddenly, a black off-road vehicle came from the opposite direction and passed in front of them in an instant. It made a beautiful drift and flicked, and stopped steadily with a sharp "stab" sound.
In front of a BMW that is slowing down and turning!
Xiao Huai was so frightened by the surprise attack that he braked suddenly. The car body shook violently, and he and Zhang Moyan were thrown out by inertia and smashed back into the car seat.
In the shaking vision, Xiao Xingyu jumped out of the off-road vehicle and walked towards them.
