Mu Qian was sitting in the car, leaning against the window, looking at Huo Jinxi's figure standing under the streetlight, her mind was in chaos and she was a little lost.
In those years that seemed like a world apart, his figure was what she had been looking forward to day and night.
At that time, the only person who shared this expectation with her was Ye Xi.
But now, she no longer has this expectation, and there is no Ye Xi in this world.
Mu Qian finally woke up little by little.
Through the car window, Huo Jinxi stood quietly and looked at her for a long time. Seeing her expression change from confusion to sobriety, he slowly stepped forward.
Mu Qian watched him move from far to near, but never moved.
Until Huo Jinxi opened the car door, bent down slightly, and stretched out his hand to touch her face.
Her face was warm and soft, but there were traces of crying.
Huo Jinxi gently brushed her eyebrows with his fingertips, and then whispered: "Go home?"
Mu Qian slowly lowered her eyes and only asked: "Where is she?"
"Ye Jinfan took her away." Huo Jinxi replied, "Not here."
Mu Qian took a deep breath.
It's okay, leave this cold and deserted hospital.
She probably won't like it here.
No one will like it here.
Mu Qian slowly closed her eyes, but tears came from unknown sources and burst into her eyes uncontrollably.
Huo Jinxi suddenly leaned forward and kissed her eyes gently.
From beginning to end, he didn't say much.
There was no excessive care, no unnecessary comfort, and no action to stop her.
He just let her, followed her, quietly stayed with her behind him, letting her immerse herself in her own world.
That world, at this moment, no one can enter.
And his only hope is that one day, someday, he will be able to go in.
…
After Cheng Ye left the riverside, he did not return to the city, but drove to the suburbs.
After going around several intersections, the motorcycle drove onto a secluded road. After several twists and turns, it stopped at the door of an abandoned factory.
Three inconspicuous cars have been parked in the courtyard covered by weeds.
Cheng Ye put on his helmet and got out of the car, walked to one of the cars, and reached out to touch the hood.
It was very cold and there was no trace of heat, indicating that the car had been parked for a long time.
Cheng Ye turned around and quickly walked into the factory.
The factory building covers an area of hundreds of square meters, but there is only one candle lit in the huge space. The light is so dim that only the outline of the candle can be clearly seen. Looking outside, the weak light has been swallowed up by darkness.
In the dim light, two men could be seen sitting there, hearing footsteps, and turning their heads to look this way at the same time.
Guan Xuefeng's face was gloomy. After looking at him, he immediately looked away.
But another man with a strong physique stood up immediately and walked towards Cheng Ye.
Before Cheng Ye could reach the aperture range, he was already pushing his hand on his chest, "You're late."
"Something has delayed us." Cheng Ye looked at him and asked, "What's wrong? Is being late something serious?"
"If it's normal, it's okay." Guan Xuefeng slowly sat up straight, glanced at him again, and said, "But at this juncture, you can still be late, which shows that you really don't take everyone seriously.
.”
Cheng Ye sneered and spread his hands, "I don't understand. It's just a normal meeting. What happened? Do you think you can be so dangerous?"
The strong man in front of him suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Cheng Ye's collar, "What happened? Your identity and the professor's identity have been exposed, and you still think it's a trivial matter?"
"There are no secrets in this world." Cheng Ye grabbed the man's hand, "Besides, everything is her guess! Didn't the professor say that all the plans he made were seamless? Since there is no evidence left, then
What’s there to be afraid of?”
Guan Xuefeng stood up suddenly, "If it weren't for you approaching that woman, how could our identities have been exposed?"
"I have never revealed your existence to her." Cheng Ye retorted, "Professor, why don't you think carefully about where you exposed yourself before she found you!"
"You still have the nerve to say such a thing?" The strong man was furious, "I have long said that this boy is too young, frivolous and unreliable, but you don't believe it, boss! Now we are all going to be killed by him!"
"That's enough." A man's deep and majestic voice suddenly came from the darkness, "Stop."
Hearing this sound, Guan Xuefeng sat back in the chair, and the strong man reluctantly let go of Cheng Ye.
After Cheng Ye straightened his collar, he looked into the darkness and said slowly: "Boss, I have never betrayed anyone, and I will never betray anyone."
After a long time, the voice came from the darkness again: "Where did your coat go?"
Cheng Ye looked down at himself, paused, and then said, "I lent it to a friend."
"Friend?" The strong man spoke again, "Is it that woman? You are still entangled with her until now! I think you have to send us to the cell together!"
"Even if I am really killed by her and sent to prison by her, I will never implicate you!" Cheng Ye said, "That is my own business and has nothing to do with you."
"What you say is nice! Why should I believe you?" The strong man was still aggressive, "You are obviously obsessed with it and your mind is not clear!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it." Cheng Ye turned his head and looked into the darkness, "Boss, do you believe me or not?"
Several people looked in the same direction and waited for a while before responding.
"If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have come to you in the first place." The man said slowly, "Now that we have been targeted, we should not take any further action in the near future. Everyone should live their own lives normally and do not meet again in the short term.
.Xiao Ye, stay away from that woman."
Guan Xuefeng and the muscular man looked at Cheng Ye at the same time.
Cheng Ye chuckled somewhat self-deprecatingly, and then said: "I have already killed her best friend, how can I get close to her?"
"this is not your fault."
Cheng Ye paused for a moment and then said: "No matter what, boss, thank you for trusting me."
After saying this, Cheng Ye glanced at Guan Xuefeng and the muscular man who were still looking at him, turned around and left.
Listening to his footsteps gradually disappearing, the strong man stood up again and said, "Boss, do you really believe him and let him continue to act like this?"
No one answered.
After a while, a faint sound came from the darkness, but it was the sound of footsteps gradually disappearing.
Guan Xuefeng glanced at him and said, "The boss has already said it, and he believes him."
"Haha." The strong man sneered and said, "When we are all killed by him, the boss will wake up."
After saying this, the strong man turned around and left. He could only leave Xuefeng alone, sitting on the edge of the light, thoughtfully.
