After not seeing each other for more than a month, she never thought that she and Lou Xi would meet again under such circumstances. The last time they were separated, he had said that even if they met on the street one day, he would pretend not to know her. She did not
I thought that this day would come so suddenly and unexpectedly.
Her heartbeat began to beat uncontrollably, and she subconsciously took two steps back and turned slightly, not wanting him to see her face. However, at that moment when she turned sideways, her eyes quickly glanced at him.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Lou Xi's outstanding aura has only increased. The word "handsome" alone is not enough to describe him, because it can only describe his appearance, and the temperament he exudes from the inside out is almost
There is no way to describe him in words. He stands upright, his eyes are deep, calm yet unruly, calm and restrained yet hard to hide his sharp edge.
If the temperament exuded by a man is so strong that people ignore his handsome appearance, then the man's inner self will be thousands of times more than what his appearance shows.
Lou Xi was such a person. Among the group of people he walked, he was obviously the one who stood out, even though his military rank was not the highest.
Ye Xingchen quickly lowered his head and retracted his gaze. Lou Xi suddenly raised his eyes and looked in her direction. Their eyes met in mid-air. Their deep black eyes condensed slightly, and their eyes flickered slightly, as if by accident, and then wavered.
She took it back without surprise, but she suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"Leaders, please come in, let's go to the conference room to talk!" The chief of the police station greeted him personally, with a very respectful attitude.
"You're welcome, Director Wang. Let's take a look at the ores first and confirm whether they are uranium." A nuclear weapons expert said cautiously.
"Okay, we have brought the samples back, please come here." Director Wang quickly led the way.
The group of people turned to the left, which was exactly the direction Ye Xingchen was. She moved her steps stiffly to get out of the way. The group of people passed by her slowly. Lou Xi passed by her, and their shoulders seemed similar.
Wu Di touched her lightly, and she was suddenly startled, while Lou Xi also paused slightly.
"Commander Lou, do you know each other?" someone asked curiously.
Lou Xi's handsome face remained unchanged, but there was something profound in his deep eyes, and his voice was neither fast nor slow, "I don't know you."
Ye Xingchen was frozen in place, as if there was a lump in her throat. This was how she should be, but why did she seem so uncomfortable?
She lowered her eyes slightly, lowered her head even lower, and felt him walking indifferently beside her.
"Oh, by the way, where is the suspect?" A leader of the Security Bureau suddenly asked Director Wang.
"It's being held in a detention room. Don't worry, we have sent four police officers to guard it."
"Okay, lock him up for now. Let's ask experts to identify the ore first. No one is allowed to approach him tonight!"
"yes!"
Hearing this, Ye Xingchen immediately panicked. Does this mean that Shu Jing will spend tonight in the police station?
Although she had never been in a detention room, she had seen it a lot in movies and TV. The small dark room with only a cold chair was so scary. Shu Jing was not yet eighteen years old, how could he put him there?
Locked there all night?
"Wait a minute--" She suddenly rushed forward, and everyone was stunned. Lou Xi frowned suddenly, with a sharp light in his eyes.
Director Wang's expression changed, and two police officers immediately stopped Ye Xingchen. One of them covered her mouth with a large hand wearing half a black glove, apparently fearing that she would talk nonsense in front of a group of senior leaders.
Seeing that her breathing was blocked and her face was red from holding back, Lou Xi's sharp black eyes suddenly narrowed dangerously, and he yelled, "What's going on?"
Director Wang quickly explained, "Battlemaster Lou, this lady is a friend of the suspect and wants to meet him, but this is against the rules..."
Upon hearing this explanation, Lou Xi just smiled slightly, but there was a very strong cold air between his eyebrows, and he silently revealed an aggressive majesty and domineering air.
"Is it within the rules for a police officer to do anything casually?" He stared at the big hand covering her mouth like a razor blade.
The calm questioning caused the two police officers to quickly let go.
Ye Xingchen took two deep breaths, covering her chest and trying to explain, but Lou Xi suddenly shot a warning glare at her, and she quickly fell silent.
"Director Wang, let's go look at the ore first, what do you think?"
"Yes, yes." Director Wang broke out in a cold sweat and quickly led the way.
The group of people gradually moved away, but Ye Xingchen was still stunned. The only thing she could do now was wait.
But she vaguely knew that this kind of waiting would only bring bad news in the end.
The police will not arrest people casually. Although the matter has not been finalized yet, she knows that this matter will not be solved so easily. Shu Jing's trouble has just begun.
Although she did not study law, she knew something about it. Shu Jing was now detained. If those experts really found uranium material in those ores, Shu Jing would face many aspects of investigation.
His family, his classmates, and his friends will all be questioned. Even if he is innocent, who will believe him? People's words are scary, how should young Shu Jing face it?
There is also the Jin family. They hire students like Shu Jing who have neither academic qualifications nor experience just to save money. There is no formal labor contract or various insurances. Naturally, they will not be responsible for anything that happens. The behavior of the Jin family
She has already learned their style. They will never stand up for Shu Jing, and they will try their best to push all the responsibilities onto Shu Jing. He will not be able to defend himself at all.
She really regretted why she didn't pay more attention. If she had known earlier that Shu Jing was applying for Jin's job, she would not have let him go, and Shu Jing would not have suffered such a misfortune!
Although Jin's diamond mining has been stopped, those are just monetary losses, and what are they compared with Shu Jing's lifelong future? This diamond mine should not be mined at all! If Zuo Lingfeng was not willing to invest,
How can Kim have the ability to do this?
God, when she thought of Zuo Lingfeng, she couldn't help but think, if Zuo Lingfeng wasn't trying to help her solve the medical dispute, how could he cooperate with Jin? Without this cooperation, Jin would not have mined any diamond mines.
, Shu Jing will not have such a thing happen!
OMG…
The more Ye Xingchen thought about it, the more frightened she became. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had something to do with it. Although her rationality told her that she was trying to get into trouble by thinking this way, emotionally she really couldn't stay out of it. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had the responsibility to save her.
Shu Jing, yes, we must save him!
But, what can she do? She can't even see Shu Jing's face now!
Her eyes suddenly became hot, God, who will tell her what she should do?
Suddenly, the phone rang, and she picked it up choked with sobs. On the other end of the phone was Shu Rao's anxious voice, "Xingchen, how is the situation? Have you seen Shu Jing? Is he okay?"
"Raorao..." She blinked hard to hold back her tears, and said to comfort her friend, "Raorao, don't worry, I'm already at the police station, they are still investigating, but it will be over soon, I'll just wait here.
Stay here until you can see Shu Jing!"
"Then call me immediately after you see him. I'll wait for your news!"
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, she sat down helplessly on the iron chair in front of the police station. Although she knew it would be difficult to see Shu Jing today, she couldn't just go back. At least she could get some news here.
She didn’t know how much time had passed, but it was getting dark anyway, and Lou Xi’s group of leaders never showed up again. She even wondered if they had secretly taken Shu Jing away from the back door?
Although this idea was ridiculous, she still hurriedly stood up and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the row of cars outside was still there.
Suddenly a cleaner walked into the corridor, holding a rag in one hand and several discarded newspapers in the other. The cleaner placed the newspaper in his hand on the row of chairs where Ye Xingchen had just sat, and then took the rag and began to wipe them one by one.
"Miss, can you pick up your bag?" the cleaner asked politely.
"Oh, okay." Ye Xingchen quickly picked up his bag and said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
He lowered his gaze and saw those discarded newspapers. The top one had a photo of Zuo Lingfeng printed on it, and the title next to it was also very eye-catching: Jinli Diamond Mine was forced to stop, Lingfeng Group suffered huge losses.
Ye Xingchen was shocked. The newspaper was from this afternoon. The news was too fast!
She hurriedly scanned the entire report, and the more she read, the more worried she became. The consequences of this incident were far more serious than she imagined. Shu Jing was the first to bear the brunt, and Jin and Zuo Lingfeng could not escape their responsibilities. The entanglement in her heart reappeared, and the more she became more and more worried.
The more I think about it, the more I blame myself, the more I feel that I have something to do with this incident, and the more I feel that she has caused everyone to be implicated.
Suddenly, the phone rang again, it was Shu Rao again, "Xingchen, where are you? Is there no news yet?"
"I'm still at the police station..."
"Xingchen, it's raining heavily here in Europe and the airports are closed. I can't go back now. Shu Jing... I leave Shu Jing's affairs to you. You must help me take good care of him..." Shu Rao said on the phone
The other end burst into tears again.
"I understand, Rao Rao, don't worry!" Ye Xingchen comforted his friend, but he felt increasingly confused.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard from the other end of the corridor, and Lou Xi and others finally came out!
A general with the highest military rank walked in the front, with a three-star spike on his shoulder, showing his righteousness.
"Director Wang, send someone to interrogate Shu Jing immediately!"
"Also, summon the corporate legal persons of Jin and Lingfeng Group immediately!"
"Batalion Commander Lou, immediately send your men to the mining site to replace the armed police. Only the people from your special brigade can rest assured. Not even a grain of sand can fly out, let alone the ore!"
Each order was more stern than the last. Ye Xingchen didn't need to ask any more and knew what the outcome would be. I was afraid that not only would he not be able to see Shu Jing today, but he would not be able to see him tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow...
Her heart went cold and she fell into sadness.
Shu Jing is Shu Rao's younger brother, so he is no different from her younger brother. Shu Jing is not yet eighteen years old. He has not gone to college yet. If he is trapped by this matter, what will happen to his future life?
manage?
Shu Jing is innocent, but now the Jin family has pushed him to the forefront. He is a part-time employee with no evidence. Even if he can be proven innocent in the future, what should he do now? According to the current situation, detention is certain
, what a terrible place the detention center is, he is still a child!
Moreover, Shu Jing has been excellent in both character and academics since he was a child. His college entrance examination scores are among the top five in the city and he has been admitted to a prestigious school in advance. If he enters the detention center, what a psychological blow it will have to him.
?
She didn't dare to think about it, let alone tell Shu Rao that Shu Jing was Shu Rao's life. If something happened to Shu Jing, Shu Rao would also collapse!
Oh my god, what should she do? How can she save Shu Jing? And Shu Rao?
The only person she could think of who could help was Lou Xi, but...what qualifications did she have to ask him for help?
As he said, they would be strangers when they met again, and Shu Jing's matter was so involved, involving nuclear weapons and even national security. He held a senior position, how could he be willing to get involved with such trouble?
Would he help a "stranger" like her?
She doesn't know, she really doesn't know.
A group of leaders walked over in a hurry, and Ye Xingchen saw Lou Xi at a glance. He still had such a tall and straight figure, still had such a cold expression, so eye-catching, but also so that people did not dare to approach him.
She bit her lip slightly and froze in place, as if walking on thin ice.
Lou Xi also saw Ye Xingchen. She was standing there, at a loss, with a frosty face and empty eyes as if she was waiting for someone's salvation.
There was a movement in his heart, like ripples in a pond in the breeze, but his eyes dimmed suddenly when he touched the newspaper in her hand.
"Commander Lou, please." Director Wang said respectfully.
Lou Xi calmly withdrew his gaze, walked out of the police station with determined steps, and once again passed her by.
He got in the car, and the sound of the engine starting and the ringtone of her cell phone rang at the same time. Shu Rao called again. Ye Xingchen was suddenly startled. Shu Rao was going crazy and anxious.
She gritted her teeth and ran after him!
"Please wait a moment..."
What responded to her was the sound of the car speeding away.
"Captain Lou! Please wait a moment..." She did not give up and continued to run and catch up, but the more she chased the car, the further away it was from her. It seemed that she would never be able to catch up. The night wind blew on her face, blowing her hard.
pain.
In the car, Lou Xi saw the frail figure behind him through the reversing mirror. He looked so frail that he seemed about to fall down at any moment. His dark eyes darkened unnoticeably.
The car was about to turn, and when he turned the steering wheel, he suddenly saw a taxi heading straight towards her!
"Be careful—" Lou Xi shouted subconsciously, but it was too late.
Ye Xingchen focused on catching up with Lou Xi's car and ran very fast, not even noticing that there were other vehicles at the intersection.
"Squeak--" A sharp brake sound sounded on the road.
The harsh sound made Ye Xingchen feel dizzy for a while, and then his whole body seemed to be sucked into a whirlpool. His body was out of control and he was hit hard by a certain force and fell to the ground suddenly.
