The rain continued to fall without stopping at all. In this empty suburban area, in the darkness, everything around was just washed away by the heavy rain, making it empty and lonely.
Ye Jinfan still just sat in the car and smoked until the pack of cigarettes was bottomed out, but the boat that should have appeared long ago still did not appear.
He stared coldly at the dark night ahead, and just as he was about to reach out for his phone, the phone rang first.
Ye Jinfan quickly answered the phone.
On the other end of the phone was the slightly nervous voice of the boat driver: "Hurry up! I just received news that there is something strange at the intersection ahead. Several cars are coming here. They are probably looking for you! You should hide for a while.
!”
Ye Jinfan's eyes were sharp. When he turned around, he had already seen the light coming from the distant darkness——
Ye Jinfan quickly started the car, but at this critical point, the car couldn't start.
Seeing those beams of light gradually approaching, Ye Jinfan quickly opened the door and got out of the car. After a sprint in the darkness, he hid himself in a patch of grass half a person's height.
Soon, several cars from far away parked next to his car.
"The car is here!" Someone got out of the car, quickly walked to the car, took a look inside, and said sternly, "No one is there!"
"Have you already left by boat?"
"Fuck! Then aren't we a little late?"
"Look around carefully! If anyone hasn't left yet, find them for me! Then bring them back to Boss Jin for a mission!"
Ye Jinfan lay silently in the grass, listening to the group of people cursing and yelling in the rain, and he already knew it in his heart.
This was someone sent by President Jin to find him - but he didn't expect them to come so quickly.
A rough guy like Mr. Jin would not have such meticulous tracking skills, yet he even knew that he was trying to sneak across the river in this vast suburb.
Ye Jinfan could only think of one person who could grasp his whereabouts so completely - Huo Jinxi.
Huo Jinxi was aloof and arrogant, showing disdain to attack him, but it was impossible to watch him escape, so he revealed his whereabouts to Mr. Jin - everything was just to achieve his own goals.
The purpose is to force him to surrender.
The group of people in front of them did not talk about executing him on the spot, but they wanted to take him back to see Mr. Jin. This was obvious.
With Mr. Jin's temperament, he would only wish for him to die immediately, and there would be no one except Huo Jinxi who would keep him alive and make him suffer slowly.
Unfortunately, Huo Jinxi couldn't cover everything even if he tried his best.
Just like this moment, this heavy rain, this group of frustrated thugs.
Sure enough, after a hasty search around the area, the group of people unanimously turned their attention to the water.
"I've searched it all, and there's no one!"
"The engine of this car is also cold and has stalled for a long time!"
"That kid must have run away! We're late!"
A group of people cursed, looked around randomly, looked around with flashlights, and finally got into the car.
Several cars stayed in place for a few minutes, probably a group of people discussing countermeasures. Soon after, the cars started again, turned around and drove away.
Ye Jinfan lay motionless in the grass for a long time, until there was no more movement around him, he slowly got up and walked to a big tree nearby.
The rain had already soaked his whole body, but he didn't even notice it. He just took out his phone and looked at it, and found that he could still make calls.
So Ye Jinfan quickly dialed the nearest number.
"Bring the ship over." He said in a cold voice, "The price is up to you, whether it's one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, or three hundred thousand, I can agree to it, but I'm leaving right now. This business,
If you don’t want to do it, I’ll do it for someone else. It’s up to you whether you want to make money or not.”
As soon as the other party heard his tone and attitude, he immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Ye, I'll be here right away."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Jinfan took out a cigarette and a lighter again. However, after being rained for too long, the cigarette was already soaked. He lit the lighter for a long time, but he still couldn't light a piece of tobacco.
Ye Jinfan stubbornly struggled with the cigarette for a long time, until the lighter in his hand was extinguished by the raindrops. He took the cigarette out of his mouth, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it out.
The rain still continued, and his soaked body was chilled to the bone, but he just stood there leaning against the tree trunk, quietly observing the darkness in the distance.
About half an hour later, the sound of a motor finally came from the dark water. At the same time, Ye Jinfan's cell phone also rang.
He glanced at the caller and quickly walked towards the shore.
However, just after taking two steps, another distant and thin light suddenly flashed in the direction from which he came previously.
Ye Jinfan paused and looked up.
The light was messy on a rainy night. The light was too far away, and it was hard to tell whether it was one or two beams or how many. In short, the light was constantly approaching this direction, so it was undoubtedly car lights.
When the boat on the water saw any movement, it immediately turned around and tried to run away.
Ye Jinfan made a call directly, "Stop the boat, I want to get on the boat."
"Brother! Someone is coming over there! If I stop, aren't I looking for death?"
Ye Jinfan squinted his eyes slightly, and finally vaguely saw the car coming, and said slowly: "It's just a car, what are you afraid of? You don't want 300,000?"
Hearing that there was only one car, the other party seemed to feel calmer, but he still said: "One car can also hold five policemen! If we are caught, we will all be doomed!"
"Don't worry, it won't be the police." Ye Jinfan said as he walked towards the water.
The boat stopped about ten meters offshore. Although it did not move forward, it had no intention of moving in this direction.
At the same time, the two beams of light from that car became clearer and clearer, approaching this side at extremely fast speeds on the muddy and potholed road——
Ye Jinfan was not sure who was in that car, so he moved aside again.
But he saw that car rush straight behind his parked car and hit it hard without mercy——
boom!
There was a loud noise in the rainy night, and the almost crazy car finally stopped.
At the same time, a thin and slender figure got down from the driver's seat and almost rushed towards the hit car, "Ye Jinfan——"
In the darkness, Ye Jinfan couldn't help but close his eyes.
Lu Tang.
Under such circumstances, she actually chased him all the way here.
Since she drove the car, it goes without saying that she should be the only one in the car.
"You don't have to run away." Ye Jinfan said to the person on the other end of the phone, "There is a woman in the car and she won't do anything to you."
After saying that, he appeared again and walked towards the water again.
At this time, Lu Tang, who was looking for his figure on the car window, looked up and saw his blurry figure in the rainy night.
Although it was blurry, she still recognized him at a glance——
Almost all her thoughts in her life have been devoted to him, how could she not recognize him?
Even if he turns into ashes, she can still recognize him!
Lu Tang straightened up and rushed towards him.
Ye Jinfan clearly heard the noise coming from behind, but had no intention of looking back.
It wasn't until Lu Tang bumped into him hard and reached out to hug him that Ye Jinfan finally stopped.
"You're not allowed to leave!" Even though he didn't even see his face, Lu Tang still held him tightly, buried her face in his vest, and almost shouted, "What did you say when you chased me? You
What did you say when you married me? Ye Jinfan, I won’t let you go! I will never let you go!”
Ye Jinfan slowly closed his eyes, seemed to take a deep breath, and finally opened his eyes again, grabbed Lu Tang's wrist, and pulled hard outwards.
But this time, he didn't pull her away.
Ye Jinfan was stunned for a moment before finally exerting force again. This time, he finally pulled away.
He turned around, raised his hand and slapped Lu Tang without even looking, and then pushed her away.
Lu Tang staggered and fell into the mud.
"You really let me see the highest level of despicability." Ye Jinfan looked at her condescendingly and said coldly, "A woman is too despicable. For men, there is no meaning of existence. What's more, from the beginning
I am just lying to you - do you think I will be sincere to a woman like you? Oh, let me tell you, no, not even a little bit. From the beginning to the end, I am using you, since
You’ve already used me, why are you waiting for me if you don’t kick me away? But you can still be so mean, sticking to me again and again... and you still don’t let me leave? Why do you? Since you are a bitch, then don’t let me go
I take myself too seriously."
Having said this, he slowly squatted down, looked at Lu Tang, who was lying motionless on the ground, and said word by word: "Because, you really are nothing."
Lu Tang was stiff and had no reaction at first. When she heard Ye Jinfan's words, she suddenly smiled.
"I am nothing..." She lowered her eyes and repeated Ye Jinfan's words in a murmur, "I am nothing..."
Ye Jinfan stretched out his hand, gently raised her chin, and said, "It's good to know this. People can be nothing, but they must at least have self-awareness."
Lu Tang was forced to raise his face to look at him, but his eyes were extremely gray, without a trace of light or sparkle.
Her face was also stiff, because it was red and swollen, and because of the cold, she looked like a ghost at this moment.
Ye Jinfan seemed to be disgusted. After seeing her appearance clearly, he quickly retracted his hand.
Lu Tang lowered her head again, like a puppet on strings. After sitting in silence for a moment without any soul, she suddenly moved and slowly got up from the ground.
Ye Jinfan watched her movements quietly and took two steps back slightly.
It was a bit difficult for Lu Tang to get up. Her shoes had gone somewhere. Now her bare feet were stepping on the muddy river beach, she had fallen down again, and she was so embarrassed that she seemed to have no strength to even get up.
But she still climbed up slowly, turned around stiffly, and walked towards the car she drove when she came.
Ye Jinfan saw her movements but did not move for a moment.
It wasn't until Lu Tang opened the car door and sat back in the same position where she came that Ye Jinfan finally looked away, turned around and walked towards the water again.
At this moment, Lu Tang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, pulled open the airbag that had just deployed. His gray eyes looked at Ye Jinfan's back again.
The next moment, she started the car, reversed it, and after exiting about ten meters away, she suddenly stepped on the accelerator!
The car started hard on the muddy road and headed straight towards the water -
When Ye Jinfan heard the noise, he turned around and saw the shining headlights of the car heading straight for him.
He reacted quickly and dodged, but still did not get out of the way completely. After his left thigh brushed against the front of the car, Ye Jinfan fell to the ground.
The moment he fell, the car also stopped. At the same time, Lu Tang opened the car door. Under the illumination of the car's ceiling light, her face was sallow, without a trace of blood, and she just stared at him blankly.
"Lu Tang!" Ye Jinfan covered her thigh and called her through gritted teeth, "Are you crazy?"
Hearing these words, Lu Tang seemed to be stunned for a moment, and the next moment, she suddenly pounced on the person lying on the ground.
Ye Jinfan's whole body suddenly stiffened.
He stared at the woman who threw herself into his arms with wide eyes, as if he was so shocked that he could no longer say a word——
Because Lu Tang held a knife in his hand and thrust it straight into his abdomen.
The pain came after a while, and Ye Jinfan's body was stiff and cold all night, and finally regained consciousness at this moment.
It hurts, it hurts.
His hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and when he tried hard to push the woman in his arms away, she wrapped him tighter.
Lu Tang leaned on him, looked at his pale face, and smiled slowly.
"I said, I don't allow you to leave..." She looked at him, "You just can't leave-"
As soon as she finished speaking, she whipped out the knife, and the next moment, she pierced Ye Jinfan's abdomen with force again——
Ye Jinfan's whole body stiffened again.
"I can be nothing..." Lu Tang continued, "But I just want you to stay with me forever. You will never - never want to sleep and fly with your dear sister -"
Hearing these words, Ye Jinfan, who was frozen and unable to move, suddenly grabbed her hand again, and then he pushed her away with the strength he didn't know where.
Lu Tang fell into the mud again, but she still held the knife in her hand, the knife stained with Ye Jinfan's blood.
At this moment, two wounds on his body were bleeding profusely.
The blood mixed with the rainwater, and then mixed into the muddy water, so that the original color was almost invisible.
Lu Tang knew that he couldn't leave. He finally couldn't leave...
However, just as she looked at his reaction coldly, Ye Jinfan suddenly stood up slightly, and then he stood up abruptly!
It was very difficult for him to stand, and almost fell down again as soon as he stood up——
But he held on.
He covered the two wounds on his abdomen and walked forward step by step with difficulty.
And the direction he went was towards the waterside——
Realizing where he was going, Lu Tang suddenly stood up and pounced on him again.
With this pounce, Ye Jinfan fell heavily to the ground, and Lu Tang raised the knife again and inserted it into his lower back.
"Let's go!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. "Let's see where you can go! Let's see where you can go!"
Ye Jinfan lay on the ground, motionless.
Lu Tang knelt down next to him and stared coldly at his motionless body for a long time. Then she seemed to suddenly come to her senses, pounced on him, turned his body over with force, and touched him.
Looking at his face that had lost all warmth and color, she tremblingly called him: "Husband? Husband?"
Ye Jinfan's eyes were tightly closed, his lips were also tightly closed, and there was no reaction at all.
"Husband..." Tears suddenly fell from Lu Tang's eyes, "Open your eyes, look at me, it's me... Open your eyes and look -"
The rain kept washing over Ye Jinfan's face. Just when Lu Tang desperately hugged him and cried, his eyelids suddenly moved.
Seeing him slowly opening his eyes, Lu Tang was overjoyed and quickly shielded him from the rain above his head, "Honey, are you awake? It's me, can you see me? I'm Tangtang——"
She leaned down and looked at him. Ye Jinfan's eyes dispersed and focused again, and finally settled on her face with difficulty.
"Yes, it's me, look at me, see me clearly -"
Before Lu Tang could finish her words, Ye Jinfan suddenly pushed her hand.
Then, he suddenly turned around with difficulty again, as if he wanted to get up.
But he couldn't get up.
It hurt so much, every part of my body hurt, it was unbearable pain.
But he must get up.
He still has a place to go, and there is someone waiting for him in that place——
He tried hard to gather all the strength in his body. Finally, he lay on the ground, supported himself with his hands, and began to crawl forward little by little.
Less than ten meters ahead was the river bank. On the water, there was a boat waiting for him to take him to where he wanted to go.
That place he must go to...
That person, he must meet...
Lu Tang was pushed aside by him again and sat frozen in the mud, looking at his body crawling forward with difficulty, almost sluggishly.
Why?
what is this?
Lu Tang couldn't understand or think about it.
She is obviously here.
Why did he push her away again and again and go somewhere else?
She sat frozen on the spot, looking motionlessly at Ye Jinfan's body moving forward with difficulty, and suddenly cried out uncontrollably——
Amid her almost howling cry, Ye Jinfan's slowly moving body gradually stopped.
Only two meters away from the water, he finally lost all his strength.
But there is still a feeling of dissatisfaction——
Why didn't you leave two minutes earlier?
Why are you so entangled with this woman behind you?
Why did the last time we contacted her, I only sent her a message instead of calling her to hear her voice?
Why did he make so many promises to her but never realize them?
Why do you never listen to her carefully and take her wishes to heart?
Why were you so cruel to her in the first place, causing her to almost die and suffer so much?
Why use her to do things she doesn't want to do, making her feel guilty all her life and never being able to truly open her heart again?
Why did you provoke her in the first place?
Why make her sad again?
Why……
He opened his eyes and looked with difficulty at the dark water in front of him and at the other side of the river, the other side of the world that could not be seen with the naked eye.
That place is a world that he will never be able to reach again in eternity.
…
Two o'clock in the morning, Xiangcheng.
Ye Xi looked out of the French window of the burger restaurant and found that the rain seemed to have stopped.
She couldn't help but get up, push the door open and walk out of the store, and found that the rain had really stopped, with only the occasional residual raindrops dripping from the eaves.
Once the rain has passed and the sky is blue, everything should be fine.
Thinking of this, she immediately turned around and went back to the store. After checking the time, she picked up her phone again.
After hesitating for a moment, she still didn't call, but cautiously sent a message.
But after sending this message for a long time, there was no response.
Ye Xi couldn't help but frown, and while hesitating, she suddenly heard the bodyguard next to her whisper: "It's probably not convenient for Mr. Ye to check his phone at this time, so there's no need to worry, Miss Ye."
Ye Xi thought for a while, nodded in agreement, and then re-clicked the text she was editing.
This is a letter she wrote to Mu Qian.
She knew how many unforgivable things Ye Jinfan had done to Mu Qian and Huo Jinxi, and she also knew how selfish and irresponsible it was for the two of them to fly away like this, but she still had to do it -
Human nature is always like this. When it comes to oneself, if everything can be solved by avoiding the major and taking the easy, then that should be the method most people will choose, right?
She is selfish, she is cowardly, she has no choice.
She finally waited until the day when he was willing to look back. She couldn't lose him again.
Ye Xi edited and re-edited the letter at hand, carefully considering every word, and before she knew it, she had been working on it for nearly an hour.
When she raised her head again, she was shocked to realize that time had flown by.
The two bodyguards were obviously a little anxious, and one of them was standing outside talking on the phone.
Ye Xi was about to get up and go out to see who he was calling, but she saw him suddenly turned his head and looked at her.
Through the glass window, Ye Xi saw his suddenly shocked expression and the pity inadvertently revealed in his eyes.
mercy……
Was he pitying her?
But what did she have to deserve his pity?
Ye Xi stood blankly for a moment, then suddenly stood up and wanted to go out and ask questions.
But before she could reach the door of the store, she suddenly tripped over a table and chairs placed in the store——
The moment Ye Xi fell to the ground, her heart suddenly contracted violently.
Seeing her fall, two bodyguards inside and outside the door came to help her at the same time, but Ye Xi just held the hand of one of them tightly and wouldn't let go.
She raised her head to look at him, her face completely drained of color.
"Who are you calling?" she asked with some difficulty, "Why hasn't my brother come over yet?"
Facing her question, the bodyguard's expression was almost frozen, and he opened his mouth with some difficulty, but no sound came out.
He just looked at her with compassion in his eyes.
Ye Xi looked at him stiffly for a moment, then suddenly pushed him away, stood up, and walked quickly outside.
However, just as she walked out of the door, she suddenly fell to the ground again and lost consciousness...
