Luo Xia often thought, when her world collapsed, what would she have been like without Nie Yunfeng? There was no answer to this question, because there was no if, because she had Nie Yunfeng.
It was during those desperate years that Nie Yunfeng gave her warmth, security, and trust. At this point, her heart was left behind.
Even at this moment, facing Lu Cheng, who was talking eloquently in front of her, recalling the past years, as if the years were peaceful and warm again, she no longer felt the slightest emotion, only bitterness and numbness remained.
Lu Cheng waited for a long time, and saw that the woman in front of him remained expressionless and had no reaction. It seemed that those things in the past were just for him and had nothing to do with her. He might even be thinking about someone else, and he felt angry.
Concern arose. He gritted his teeth and asked in a cold voice: "Do you really miss Nie Yunfeng that much?"
Luo Xia was holding a mouthful of lemonade, feeling the sour taste on the tip of her tongue. She was suddenly startled by Lu Chengsen's cold tone. She choked on a mouthful of water and coughed violently, stinging, numbing, and heart-wrenching.
Lu Cheng frowned, with distress flashing in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and patted her back. He took out the paper towel on the table and tried to wipe the water that overflowed from the corner of her mouth. However, Luo Xia instinctively leaned back and avoided the hand, waiting.
When she realized that he was holding a tissue in his hand, she couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed. At this time, her coughing did not stop, and she even coughed up tears, which fell down her face.
Lu Cheng's eyes darkened, he crumpled the tissue into a ball in his hand, swept away the warmth before, and returned to the coldness: "Xiaoxia, in front of me, you don't even have the intention to hide it? After all, I was also
The first person you liked..."
"Lucheng, those things..." Just as she was about to distance herself from him, her attention was suddenly attracted by the voice outside the door, and the words disappeared from her lips because she heard that familiar name.
"Yunfeng, why don't you come over? What are you standing there for?" Footsteps sounded, approaching from far away, and she could tell that it seemed to be Alie's voice, and the person he called was... Nie Yunfeng?
When the words suddenly stopped, Lu Cheng's eyes flashed strangely, and his expression was inexplicably cold. But Luo Xia felt that the world around her was as silent as death, and her violent heartbeat made her unable to make a sound, and even her whole body became stiff.
live.
Is Nie Yunfeng here? Why is he here? Wasn't he taken away by the police?
She couldn't mistake Ali's voice because it had a special intonation and cold air. Did the woman on the phone lie to her? Wait, let her think about the phone, the club, Lu Cheng, Ali, and Nie Yunfeng! All of this
What a coincidence.
Suddenly he looked at the man opposite him in shock. Was all this planned by him? He was the one who took charge of everything, and Nie Yunfeng was not actually arrested? No, the tone of the woman on the phone didn't sound like she was lying. She could hear it.
The other party's vibrato when speaking was clearly very excited, so what exactly happened? What role did Lu Cheng play in it? Adding fuel to the flames?
Lu Cheng saw her looking over and smiled softly: "Xiaoxia, didn't you come to me just to save him? You know, I will never refuse your request. I have always done so before, now and in the future! This
No, Ali just released him on temporary bail from the police station."
It was clear that this person had affectionate eyes and spoke extremely gentle words, but Luo Xia felt that the half-smile hanging on the corner of his mouth was like a poisonous snake spitting out a red core, ready to bite at any time. And his
The sound is neither high nor low, and can penetrate the door panel and reach the outside.
There was a pause of footsteps, and then came Alie's respectful call: "Brother Cheng."
She held her breath, but did not dare to turn her head to look at the door. She listened with her ears straight, and she could distinguish his voice no matter how soft it was. But after waiting for a while, she heard the sound of footsteps disappearing away.
.....
The strings in her mind snapped, and her body reacted before her mind. She pushed the chair away and rushed to the door. Without hesitation, she opened the door and ran out. She searched every corner with eager eyes, hoping for something so familiar that could reassure her.
Back view. However, there was no one outside the door, and except for uniformed waiters standing silently on both sides, there was no one else in the empty corridor.
Could it be that she was hallucinating? Did she miss him so much and want him to be okay, so she thought he was right outside the door? But Ali's call and Lu Cheng's words, were these also hallucinations?
Her eyes finally focused on the present moment when she caught a glimpse of the cigarette butt on the ground. The cigarette butt had burned to the end, and the time of one cigarette was enough for people outside the door to hear many conversations between her and Lu Cheng, including those memories of the past.
.Pinched his hand hard, the pain sobered him up, and he no longer cared about Lu Cheng who was still looking at him in the box. After eagerly searching for the exit, he ran out.
But when she was passing by a certain private room, she saw from the corner of her eye the familiar figure she was looking for inside the open door.
He stopped suddenly and turned around to stare blankly at the familiar faces. One was standing outside the door, the other was sitting inside the door; one was panicked and didn't know how to explain it, while the other stared silently with indifferent eyes.
No one takes a step closer, and there is a river of hearts that cannot be crossed across the distance of a few meters. This is the so-called world away.
Nie Yunfeng looked at the crumbling figure at the door. He was so distressed that he could hardly breathe. He placed his hands under the table and clenched them tightly. There was a voice in his heart reminding himself over and over again: Don't come forward. It was clear that a few hours ago, they
They hugged each other affectionately and fell asleep together, but they didn't dare to come close at this time.
Summer, it's not that I don't want to hug you, it's that I'm not qualified.
From the time he was taken away by the police, to when Ali came to bail him out, and then walked into this club all the way, and then heard the conversation between Lu Cheng and her. Step by step, step by step, he walked into the cliff of hell. If you still think about it now,
If you are not sure that Ali is from Lucheng, then he is a fool. When you saw Ali appear in the police station, you already understood everything. Ali did not disappear with Hong Ye, but under Lucheng's order
I purposely disappeared because of the current situation.
Everything was arranged. Alie deliberately brought him to the club, and the box he opened was right next to theirs. Even if he didn't "happen" to hear it, I believe Lu Cheng would let Alie "accidentally" take him through that place.
doorway.
There is no pain more painful than hearing his woman recall her first love with another man; there is no pain that will make him realize that he can be saved because of her pleading.
pain.
If his illegal life was obtained by Xia Tian praying to Lu Cheng, then he would rather not have it. But facing Xia Xia, who was standing in front of the door with tears in his eyes, he could not say "no".
You don't need to guess the purpose of Lu Cheng's doing this. He just wants him to recognize his identity and status and realize that he is just an ant in Lu Cheng's hands. He can crush him to death at any time and save him if he wants.
He was the only one who had this ability. But Nie Yunfeng didn't understand Lu Cheng's attitude towards Xia Tian. He was so determined to expel her from the Luo family for revenge. Later, Xia Tian was shot and injured and he ignored her. Now what happened to her?
What’s the point? Try every means to save it?
Alie sat nearby and watched the two people looking at each other, as if he was a background, like a deserted place, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Women are really a man's fatal weakness, not only for Nie Yunfeng but also for Brother Cheng. He really didn't expect that Brother Cheng, who was so cold and cold, would actually have a soft spot for Luo Xia, a woman, and even wanted to destroy her relationship with her at all costs.
The relationship between Nie Yunfeng.
He pushed Nie Yunfeng's shoulder and reminded: "Let's go, we still have something to do. We have to go and check the confession with the lawyer, and the bail time is only twelve hours." Nie Yunfeng's case involves murder, and it is a major crime in this city.
The case has all been exposed to the world. No matter how capable Lu Cheng is, he can only temporarily get twelve hours of bail time, and then there will be a lawsuit.
Seeing that Nie Yunfeng was motionless, Ali wanted to speak again and urge them. The two people were blocked at the door in a daze. But before they could say anything, Nie Yunfeng had already stood up, walked out of the box door first, and passed by Luo Xia.
As he passed by, his body trembled slightly. Ali was silent for a moment, and then followed, without looking at the expression on the woman's face that she was about to faint. This matter was beyond his control, and it would be worse to have more trouble.
One less thing is better.
Luo Xia bit her lip tightly to prevent the sobs in her throat from making a sound. Even she didn't understand why she wanted to see him so much before, but now when she saw him, she didn't even have the courage to take a step forward.
, just watching him pass by her, watching his back getting further and further away from her sight, then turning around at the end of the corridor and disappearing.
Wasn't her original purpose of chasing him out just to explain to him the conversation she had just had with Lu Cheng? Why couldn't she say a word after they met? Suddenly, a hand from behind wrapped her shoulders forcefully,
My body trembled slightly and I looked back.
I finally understand why, yes, because of Lu Cheng.
From Nie Yunfeng being arrested, to her calling Lu Cheng, to their conversation being overheard by Nie Yunfeng outside the door, these were all traps set up by the man in front of him. Lu Cheng was really horrified, while remembering their past.
When she was young, she recalled her first love that was like a fool, but at the same time, she was scheming with Nie Yunfeng to create an insurmountable obstacle, or in other words, a rift between them.
Lu Cheng's move was absolutely perfect. He cut off all escape routes for her and Nie Yunfeng.
Moreover, she did not ignore a word - for the time being, not only Lu Cheng, but also Ali said that Nie Yunfeng was only released temporarily, and the bail period was only twelve hours. Their appearance here, apart from letting Nie Yunfeng find out that she came to Lu Cheng
In addition to the fact, another purpose was to tell her that Nie Yunfeng's life and death was still in his hands, Lu Cheng.
Since he has the ability to bail people out, he can also put them in jail for a lifetime, or even... the result is even worse.
This is a warning.
So she couldn't take a step closer to Nie Yunfeng, because as long as she took a step forward, he would be put in a place of eternal destruction.
