Chapter 116 He Became Worried About Gains and Losses
Light snow began to fall outside again, and the road was slippery, making it very difficult for the car to drive.
Lao Qin did not dare to drive too fast along the way.
Because of the bad weather and the solemn atmosphere in the carriage.
"Miss, I'd better find a pharmacy to help you deal with the injury on your forehead, right?"
Lao Qin looked through the rearview mirror and carefully looked at Yu Ruanruan in the back seat, "Are the bruises on your head really caused by an accidental bump?"
When the eldest lady came down from the shabby building in the slum, she was in a very embarrassed state. Her collar was stained with concoction and her forehead was swollen.
Lao Qin thought someone was bullying her and was so frightened that she immediately stepped forward to ask.
The eldest lady looked indifferent and only said that she had fallen.
Lao Qin regretted very much. The public security in this place was not very good, so he should not have let the eldest lady go upstairs alone.
"I'm fine."
Yu Ruanruan reached out and touched her forehead. It still hurt a little. Thinking of Yang Cuihua's ferocious face when she kicked her out of the house, she couldn't help but frown and took a deep breath.
The money and the USB flash drive were optional, but Yang Cuihua refused to mention a word about the secrets of the Canglang organization.
Before coming, Yu Ruanruan was actually mentally prepared.
When Yang Cuihua defected from that devil's cave with her young child, she tacitly drew a clear line with the past.
She still has some impression of how terrifying that organization was.
If she hadn't witnessed the gangster committing another crime with her own eyes, Yu Ruoruan would never touch that memory in her life.
In her previous life, she offended the underworld for Huo Xu, and ended up being kidnapped, trafficked, and sent to Southeast Asia, where she died inexplicably.
Want to ask her if she is afraid?
She was afraid in her heart.
She doesn't want to mess with these dark forces at all.
But when she thought of the little girl who was taken away, Yu Ruanruan couldn't sit idly by.
How many terrible tragedies would result if she chose to remain silent even though she clearly had clues?
She had experienced it before, so she didn't dare to imagine it.
Just then, the cell phone in my pocket suddenly rang. When I opened it, I saw it was a landline number.
After Yu Ruanruan connected, Yang Cuihua's abuse came from the receiver, "Damn girl! I advise you to stop meddling in other people's business! If you want to die, I won't stop you. If you dare to drag me into the water, I won't let you go even if you are a ghost."
Pass you!"
Yang Cuihua's cursing voice continued, but Yu Ruanruan didn't listen anymore and hung up the phone.
It is hopeless to pry news from Yang Cuihua now.
Rather than wasting your time, it's better to put your energy in another direction.
"Uncle Qin, take me back to the apartment."
When she came back to her senses, she found that the driver had already driven the car in the direction of Yu's house, and Yu Ruanruan interrupted loudly.
"Miss, do you want to go back to the rental house?"
"Well, you can take me downstairs and get off work directly."
"You won't go back? How can this be done? The young master will be worried."
"The noise at home interferes with my review of my homework."
Lao Qin was speechless and sent Yu Ruanruan downstairs to the apartment. Looking at the girl's back like a lone traveler, he shook his head and sighed.
The eldest lady is so pitiful.
Yu Ruoruan took the elevator to the corresponding floor and walked towards the apartment. Because she had her head down and was thinking about something, she didn't notice someone standing in the corridor in front of her.
It wasn't until a pair of shiny leather shoes appeared in the field of vision, and a familiar breath pressed from the top of her head, that Yu Ruanruan suddenly raised her head, and the man's handsome face with clear outlines was reflected in her wide apricot eyes.
Huo Xu stood at the door of her apartment leaning against the wall, wondering how long she had been waiting.
"You...why are you here?"
Yu Ruanruan was shocked. It was her last-minute idea to go back to the apartment, and Huo Xu knew that she had followed her elder brother back to Yu's house, so how could he come here to block her?
Huo Xu locked eyes with the girl from the moment she stepped out of the elevator.
At this moment, he frowned and subconsciously reached out to touch her forehead, "What's wrong here?"
Yu Ruanruan lowered the brim of her hat to cover the bruise on her forehead, "It's okay. I accidentally bumped into a telephone pole while walking and got hit."
Huo Xu narrowed his eyes, leaned forward, put the tip of his nose close to the girl's neck, and sniffed, "What about the Chinese medicine poured on the clothes?"
"I accidentally spilled it when I was applying it on my forehead."
"You think I will believe it?"
The man frowned and his tone became cold.
Yu Ruanruan's expression changed. Of course she would not tell Huo Xu that she had gone to see Yang Cuihua.
Otherwise, with his keenness, he would be afraid of following the clues and finding something.
Yang Cuihua's background is also related to Yu Ruanruan's past. That experience is something she wants to completely erase. Although she is eager to investigate the case, she does not want to cause trouble for herself.
She immediately changed the topic, with a cold look in her almond-shaped eyes, "Why are you here?"
It's funny to say.
They seem to be constantly injured recently. Two days ago, Huo Xu was hit on the back of the head with a stick by a trafficker. It is estimated that he has not recovered yet.
"Can we go in and talk?" Huo Xu picked up the shopping bag on the ground.
Only then did Yu Ruanruan notice that the shopping bag contained fruits, vegetables, meat and vegetables.
She was stunned, "What are you going to do?"
Huo Xu's eyelashes trembled, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the white steam he breathed out made his facial features look blurry, "Can't you..."
Listening to his low and pitiful voice, Yu Ruoruan felt an inexplicable pain in her heart and frowned.
Her eyes fell on his knuckles, which were red from the cold. His long, clean fingers had a few white lines cut out by plastic bags.
Yu Ruoruan looked up and saw that the tip of his nose and the base of his ears were also red. Obviously, even though he was wearing thick clothes, he was not warm in the corridor, and Huo Xu seemed to have been standing for a long time.
She took out her key and opened the door, paused for a second, breathed in, "Come in."
Huo Xu's eyes suddenly lit up, but soon he suppressed his joy, pursed his thin lips slightly, took a step forward, pushed the door open for Yu Ruanruan, stepped aside to let the girl go in, and finally closed the door.
After Yu Ruoruan entered the door, she turned on the room heater, took off her scarf and hat, and threw her keys and bag on the sofa, with a tired look on her face.
But he didn't forget to ask the question just now, "How did you know I would come back here?"
Huo Xu placed the shopping bag on the dining table, looking hesitant.
"Guess."
Can you guess this?
Yu Ruanruan didn't believe it. She even wondered if Huo Xu was following her?
The girl's wary and appraising eyes glanced at him, making Huo Xu very uncomfortable.
He was a little annoyed. He didn't know when he started to become cautious and worried about gains and losses in front of this girl.
He was afraid that telling the truth would create a crack in the relationship that he had finally eased with the girl, but by not telling her and letting her think wildly, it would only affect their relationship even more.
The man was silent for a long time and said in a low voice, "Cheng Cheng came to see me last night."
