They had breakfast together at a farmhouse. After dinner, Qi Si asked her again: "Are you really not coming with me?"
"I want to walk around town."
The sky outside was very blue, and when I looked up, I saw golden wheat fields in the distance and bluestone alleys that stretched to the horizon. The same scenery, but things had changed.
"When will you come back? Do you want to socialize with those developers?"
Qi Si: "I'm not going. I'll be back at five o'clock. I can accompany you for a walk around the streets in the evening."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to have dinner." Luo Yan thought for a while and curled her lips, "Let's have dinner at home and I'll cook for you."
The man raised his thick eyebrows slightly and said warmly: "Okay."
Watching him get into Guilei's car, Luo Yan's eyes turned into crescent moons and waved to him, "Bye, see you in the afternoon."
Qi Si chuckled: "Bye."
As soon as he left, Luo Yan stretched his muscles and bones and breathed in the autumn air of Chunshui Town happily. The fragrance of osmanthus was rich and fragrant, wrapping people's hearts warmly.
Qi Si left a person with her who said he was a driver but was actually a bodyguard, but she wanted to walk alone, so she sent the bodyguard away and rented a bicycle to shuttle through the streets.
Along the way, we passed Aunt Lu’s old shop, the village shop covered with roses, Lu An’s house, Qing Bai’s house and her grandmother’s house no longer existed. It was probably too dilapidated and had been transformed into a fish pond.
The bicycle was parked under the big banyan tree in the west. She sat under the tree for a while, and suddenly she became interested and climbed up the tree as light as a swallow. The sunlight filtered in through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and fell on her face little by little. She felt so comfortable that she wanted to sleep.
It's a pity that Qi Si is not around in this weather.
The view from the tree is very good. You can see white clouds rolling in the sky, the whole town is wrapped in gold, and the autumn air is crisp. It is a good day for mountain climbing. When Qi Si is done with his work, he wants to ask him to go up high and look far.
Strange to say, it is obviously the peak tourist season, but there are not many tourists in the town. The town is very quiet, and there are not many pedestrians at first glance.
I don’t know if Qi Si imposed any restrictions.
After having enough time in the tree, she rode her bicycle towards the town. When she passed an alley, she found a pavilion with a plaque of "Antique Hall" hanging there. The second floor looked unique, and there were all kinds of exquisite handicrafts hanging outside.
Handicrafts, her heart moved slightly, Luo Yan put down her bicycle and went upstairs.
If you want to go to the second floor, you have to go through the lobby on the first floor. This house is very big, and because of the orientation, there is no light at the moment, so the light becomes much darker as you walk in.
As soon as I entered the house, I smelled a scent similar to that of pen and ink, which comes and goes. It is the kind of scent that many antique shops carry.
There was no one on the first floor. The most interesting items in this kind of store are usually on the second floor. Luo Yan went directly to the second floor. There was a slight sound when he stepped on the wooden stairs. It became quieter and quieter as he walked upstairs. The scent became more obvious when he went upstairs.
There were no other guests upstairs, but there was a figure beside the pear-shaped table in the southwest corner. He looked like a man, his back to her, and he was reading a yellowed book with his eyes downcast.
There was fine dust floating in the air of the pavilion. A beam of light came in obliquely, and he could clearly see the fine dust floating above his head. After looking at it for two seconds, Luo Yan's brows narrowed slightly, and his keen intuition had a bad premonition.
Not in the mood to look at any antiques, she turned around to go downstairs. After taking two steps, her legs felt weak and she couldn't stand. At the same time, she felt dizzy. She held on to the table next to her and could barely stand still. Luo Yan looked at the man who said nothing.
Fa's back, "Did Zhao Pei send you here?"
The man paused, put down the book in his hand and stood up.
His face was against the light, and Luo Yan squinted to see. When the face became clearer in her field of vision, surprise and confusion flashed in her eyes.
"You have to do..."
Her eyelids could no longer hold up, and she fell to the ground and passed out.
The man walked up to her, his handsome face seemed to have a faint smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
——
Qi Si sent Luo Yan a message after his inspection. He didn't know what she was doing. He didn't receive a reply from her until he arrived in Chunshui Town.
Entering the house, he found no one inside. He was sitting on the sofa and was about to call her. The bodyguard who rushed outside the door said in a trembling voice, "Master, Madam... she seems to be missing."
Qi Si's black eyes were gleaming with a faint cold light, his handsome features were instantly cold, and his voice seemed to have been hardened by ice, "Say it again."
Chen Qing swallowed hard, lowered his head, and his voice was a little softer, "My wife disappeared in an antique building. She didn't like me following her, so I watched her from a distance until she entered the store for an hour.
When I came out, I looked for it and found that no one was inside..."
"Uh-" With a short cry, Chen Qing was kicked so hard that he took a few steps back and knelt on the ground with one knee.
Gui Lei on the side looked at Chen Qing who was sweating on his forehead, and sighed with regret, and he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It can be embarrassing to anyone. Everyone knows that Miss Xu is Mr. Si's villain and he has gotten into big trouble this time.
Qi Si stared coldly at the man breathing heavily on the ground, his voice thin and cold, and he squeezed out each word through his teeth, "Have I ever told you that you should protect your wife?"
"You can lose track of people right under your nose, so what's the use of your eyes?"
Chen Qing's lips trembled slightly, "I deserve death and let Master Si suffer."
Guilei stood up and said, "Master, the first priority is to find Madam first. It won't be too late to deal with Chen Qing's matter later."
"Send people to the antique building to look for clues. People can't disappear out of thin air. There must be secret passages there. Call up all the surveillance cameras entering the city and find a few more people to watch. Watch carefully. Don't miss even a tricycle. In addition,
Find out the owner of the antique shop and question him."
Guilei: "Yes, I will contact someone immediately."
"Wait a minute," Qi Si raised his eyelids slightly, tightened his hand on the phone, and said in a cold voice, "Contact the people in Myanmar to see if Zhao Pei has left, and find his contact information for me.
Let the people over there keep an eye on the Red Hands’ movements and report any abnormalities immediately.”
Guilei paused, "Do you suspect he is Zhao Pei's person?"
Qi Si's dark eyes were as cold as a cold pool, "He has a motive."
He was the one who detained Luo Yan in Burma for a year in the first place. He has not yet settled the debt with him. If Zhao Pei really did it, he will not let it go this time.
——
When Luo Yan woke up, her hands and feet were tied, and her wrist bones ached. She was in a windowless room with only one bed.
She quickly calmed down and tried to untie the knot with her hands behind her back, only to find that they were tying a professional prison tiger knot.
The sound of leather shoes came from far away, and the door was opened. The man was wearing a meticulous formal suit, with an invisible smile on his elegant face.
After flicking the cigarette ashes on his fingertips, his face was hidden in the swirling smoke, and he walked slowly over. Seeing the coldness in her eyes, his thin lips curled up slightly, "Long time no see, sister-in-law."
Luo Yan's mouth was sealed with tape, and she didn't struggle when she saw him, but just stared coldly.
Shen Yunan looked at her helpless look, and sat down on the chair beside the bed. While sitting down, he stretched out his hand to support his left leg, "A year ago, your bullet hit my knee. I was in a wheelchair for a year, and my leg almost hurt."
It’s invalid. My sister-in-law has changed her identity and is now at ease. She actually allowed my eldest brother to marry you."
His eyes passed over the ring on her ring finger, and Shen Yunan subconsciously knocked his knuckles, "You are living a happy life. I heard that my eldest brother loves you very much. Does he know that you can kill people? You are good at pretending to be innocent and harmless in front of him."
Luo Yan's eyes did not change as he listened to his indifferent words, her mind was thinking about his motives, whether he wanted to take personal revenge, or whether he wanted to get something from Qi Si through her...
Thinking of the latter possibility, she looked at him slightly coldly.
"Don't look at me like that. We have no grudges at all. If your identity was clean, I would have to call you sister-in-law. But you just work for Zhao Pei, and you helped him want to kill me before. I heard that Zhao Pei
He also cares about you? Yes, he is capable and loyal, but he is willing to let you back. I didn't expect this. Could it be that his feelings for you are so deep that he would rather be alone than have you trapped by his side? "
Luo Yan frowned slightly.
Until now, we don't know his motive. It seems that he is not going to Qi Si.
Zhao Pei didn't say a word when he let her back. She always felt that it was too smooth and she felt uneasy for a while. She guessed that Zhao Pei might call her back one day when she was needed. She subconsciously thought that when she saw Shen Yunan's back yesterday.
It was Zhao Pei's person, but it turned out to be Shen Yunan.
He had been raising his legs abroad before. He didn't know when he came back. How did he know that she and Qi Si had arranged for her to be tied up when they came to Luo City. Such a plan must have been planned for a long time. She closed her eyes and exhaled, strange
I had been too relaxed after a stable life, allowing them to take advantage of me.
"Big Brother's people are already looking for you. They have already suspected that they have gone to Zhao Pei. The people I let out will confirm this suspicion. In fact, you admire Big Brother for nothing more than him being an upright gentleman, but you don't know that you can be with him."
The person who has been in the position for so long is not a good person. His private power has really gathered, and Zhao Pei may not be his opponent." Shen Yunan puffed out smoke rings unhurriedly, with a slight smile on his thin lips, "
He is so angry that he is a beauty, maybe he can take care of Zhao Pei for me, even if he is seriously injured in the fight, it will be good."
After hearing this, Luo Yan finally understood his plan and wanted to use her to provoke a fight between the two sides, while he reaped the benefits.
Luo Yan clenched her teeth tightly. Shen Yunan was called the second best and no one dared to call him the first. She didn't know what the grudge was between him and Zhao Pei.
No matter how powerful Qi Si is, he will be hurt if he fights with the Red Hands, and neither party can gain anything. Shen Yunan's move is too damaging.
Seeing her beautiful eyes widening with anger, Shen Yunan knew that she had something to say, so he removed the tape for her.
"You overestimated me. Not to mention whether Zhao Pei and Qi Si were stupid enough to fall into your trap. Even if Qi Si really thought that I was taken away by Zhao Pei, he would not be so impulsive as to fight tit for tat for me."
Shen Yunan looked down at Luo Yan's face, which did not affect its beauty even if it was messy, and slightly opened her thin lips, "It's you who underestimated yourself."
