Some people say that darkness does not mean gloom, sin or death.
On the contrary, it is a very noble force, as powerful and noble as light. Few people are worthy of controlling it, so many people are controlled by it.
True darkness is a peaceful and all-embracing state. Silence and quietness are its essence, and it follows the principle of balance.
The real darkness is not depravity and decadence. Only foolish people will think of darkness in that way and will trap themselves in the darkness they have created.
Darkness is noble, calm, silent, action, mysterious and ultimately destructive.
At the same time, darkness is also a kind of loneliness, the loneliness of not being understood.
When darkness is angry, it will erode everything, devour everything, and corrode everything that angers it.
The carriage was filled with smoke that would never dissipate. Si Yiyan was twisting a cigarette between his fingers. There was a mountain of broken ashes on the ground. He leaned back in his chair tiredly and dozed off.
He suddenly thought of something.
When he was young, his mother asked him: "What is the first thing you think of in the dark?"
At that time, he was young and did not understand why his mother asked him this question, so he subconsciously answered: "Light!"
His mother asked him again: "Darkness is an extended commonality. It is obvious that darkness extinguishes light. Why do you think of light the first moment when it is dark?"
At that time, he couldn't answer at all.
His mother looked at him and touched his head with satisfaction: "Good boy, because there is light in your heart, you yearn for light."
Later he found out that his mother was afraid that Xia Sishi's background of both good and evil would erode his light, so she asked him such questions and planted the seeds of light in his heart.
It was not until this moment that he realized that without Wen Xinya, he felt as if he was trapped in darkness without any light at all.
He finally got the answer to the question his mother asked him: "Although darkness extinguishes light, it also makes everyone know the importance of light."
Warmth and elegance are the bright spark of his life.
"How long will it take to get there?" He had lost the ability to judge time, and time was wearing away his will bit by bit.
This was the fourth time. He asked for the time four times for a short journey of ten minutes. The interval was shorter each time. Compared with the last time, this time it was only two minutes.
Gu Yuehan suppressed his thoughts and replied, "There are still 3 minutes and 48 seconds!"
"3 minutes and 48 seconds!" Si Yiyan chewed on the number gently with a heavy emphasis, almost chewing it to pieces.
At this time, a man hurried over and said, "Nine Young Master, we used satellites to intercept a call from the West District. Those thugs demanded a ransom of 100 million US dollars from the Wen family and asked them to transfer the ransom to the XXXX bank account. The Wen family has agreed. We found that this is an anonymous bank card from a Swiss bank and we can't find any other clues."
Si Yiyan slowly sat up from the back of the chair, feeling a chill in his heart. Without asking for a ransom, Xinya's life would be guaranteed. Once a ransom was asked, especially if it was certain that the Wen family was willing to pay it, Xinya might die at any time.
"Give me the recording." He suddenly had a splitting headache. It seemed as if all his energy had been drained in just a few hours. Fatigue was like a tide, hitting him wave after wave.
The man hesitated.
Si Yiyan suddenly laughed. His hesitation could only mean one thing. The intercepted call not only demanded a ransom, but also contained information about the treatment Xinya had suffered.
Seeing him smile, the man couldn't help but look flustered and quickly handed him the recording.
Si Yiyan took the recording and opened it. A cold, bloodthirsty, cruel voice was accompanied by the sounds of beatings and Wen Xinya's sharp cries of pain. His heart was like a fragile piece of paper, being crumpled into a ball inch by inch!
Just as Si Yiyan's sanity was gradually being eroded by the darkness, the car stopped.
"Jiu Shao, we're here!"
Si Yiyan's brain seemed to have broken a string. He suddenly reached out and pushed open the car door, then got out of the car and rushed towards the unknown darkness, allowing the darkness to swallow his body.
Gu Yuehan's heart trembled, and he gestured to the two cars following closely behind and followed them.
For fear of alerting the three thugs, they parked their car in a faraway wilderness. At this time, Si Yiyan's brain was working at high speed. Just now in the car, he had studied the satellite map. His whole body was like a radar, instinctively wandering in the darkness, avoiding any possible noise, and chose the most silent way of invasion.
After about ten minutes, they approached the air-raid shelter.
Si Yiyan gestured calmly, and then followed the people behind him, breaking up into pieces and silently disappearing into the darkness, controlling the entrance to the cave.
Si Yiyan made another gesture.
Then there was a rustling sound.
For about a minute, there was no movement in the cave.
A bad premonition slowly rose in Si Yiyan's heart, and he made another gesture.
Then, a louder rustling sound was heard.
After about two minutes, there was still no movement in the cave.
Si Yiyan made a hand gesture, and he rushed towards the cave entrance like a cheetah hunting in the bushes.
Gu Yuehan followed closely behind.
The people who were covering behind did not bother to disguise themselves and hide, and they all showed up to ensure the safety of Young Master Jiu.
In the dark cave, the thin light and dim darkness reflected Si Yiyan's tall and slender body, stretching the shadow under his feet and casting it on the cave wall. He was dressed in black, which seemed to render the gloom completely gone.
When Si Yiyan stepped on the ground, he heard a dull sound. The heavy sound echoed in the air-raid shelter. It was clearly the sound of footsteps on the ground, but it seemed to be stepping on the hearts of everyone present.
Si Yiyan looked into the empty cave. The floor was in a mess and full of traces of life. The smell of boxed lunches, instant noodles and various fast foods filled her nostrils. The bloodstains on the floor were horrifying and showed... how she had been treated.
That was the woman he loved deeply, the woman he loved to the bone. He doted on her in every way, cared for her in every way, loved her with all his heart, and loved her without reservation. If she lost a hair, he would guess that it was because of insufficient nutrition, and he would do everything he could to replenish her body...
At this moment, they were subjected to such atrocities!
He rushed forward, picked up the small and exquisite mobile phone on the ground, held it tightly in his hand, and asked hoarsely: "Where is the person?"
There was a hoarse voice, with a dark and unfathomable fear in it. No one answered him. It was to be said that no one dared to answer him. Everyone was busy investigating the scene, looking for clues.
