late at night.
Not a single star in the sky.
A coupe was galloping under the cover of street lights, and the light was thrown behind it.
The pointer on the dashboard trembled dangerously, indicating that the car had already exceeded the speed limit, but Xu Ziqing didn't notice it at all. She doesn't know where she can drive, just like she doesn't know where her way out is now.
Deafening music was playing in the carriage, and the notes roared along with the engine. At this moment, Xu Ziqing's cell phone rang. The ringtone of the mobile phone was overwhelmed by the music in an instant. Xu Ziqing saw the flickering screen of the mobile phone and had no intention of answering it, but the phone rang and never stopped. She finally turned off the music impatiently and answered the call.
The next moment after the speaker was pressed, Zhou Cheng's eager voice sounded in the carriage: "Where did you go? Why aren't you in the hotel?"
"Come out and relax."
"Come back quickly, I'll wait for you at the door of your suite." Zhou Cheng always spoke softly to her, but now he was very serious, "I have something to tell you."
"I guess I can guess what you want to say to me - didn't I just go and teach her a lesson, do you feel bad?"
Zhou Cheng was silent for a while.
Xu Ziqing immediately understood that she had guessed right, so she couldn't help snorting coldly: "I've already been banned from leaving the country by her, isn't it bad enough, is it possible that you still want to scold me for her?"
After all, Zhou Cheng sighed helplessly: "You can't be sure whether the evidence in the police's hands was given to them by Yanliang. I believe Yanliang, she won't do this."
A simple sentence of favoritism made Xu Ziqing furious in an instant, the car squeaked and turned off, Xu Ziqing gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, and simply did not restart the car, took the mobile phone with his hand, and whispered into the receiver. Hou: "It's useless to say anything now, I have already told her that she is actually an unknown..."
What interrupted Xu Ziqing was a sudden sound—"Bang!!!!"
A car hit her sideways from the direction of the co-pilot. Take a firm look. The huge inertia made Xu Ziqing slam into the car door sideways, and at the same time the phone fell to the ground.
The sound of steel colliding caused bursts of tinnitus, Xu Ziqing experienced a moment of fainting, and touched his forehead—just now his forehead hit the car window, and a little blood came out.
The call on the mobile phone is still going on, Zhou Cheng should have heard the movement here, and growled anxiously on the other end: "Ziqing! Ziqing! What's the matter? Talk!!"
Xu Ziqing held his forehead and had no time to worry about his phone. It hurt a lot, but she was still conscious. Xu Ziqing unbuckled her seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car to see who the reckless perpetrator was.
But as soon as she got out of the car, a figure suddenly approached her. Before she could react, she was grabbed by the neck and pressed against the car door.
Behind them was the dim yellow streetlight. When Xu Ziqing finally got used to the troubles that followed, and finally distinguished the face of the person in front of her, she instantly widened her eyes in shock: "Jiang...Jiang Yunan?"
Jiang Yunan stood against the light, but there seemed to be a cold flame beating in his eyes. During the silence, his hand pinching her neck became more and more forceful, Xu Ziqing tugged at his arm in a panic due to the fear of lack of oxygen. He was unmoved.
Gradually, Xu Ziqing's face flushed red, his lips turned slightly purple, and his resistance was finally defeated by the opponent's pair of iron wrists. At the moment when her life was almost hanging by a thread, Jiang Yunan suddenly let go of her.
Xu Ziqing was thrown to the ground, her knees were rubbed on the ground, she was bleeding instantly, but she didn't care about other things, she kept her head down and coughed desperately, greedily absorbing the air that was lost and regained.
A pair of leather shoes walked slowly and calmly into Xu Ziqing's field of vision.
The black shadow of this man on the ground enveloped Xu Ziqing's entire body.
His voice has no warmth: "Now you should desperately pray that Yan Liang is a member of your Xu family. Otherwise, the next time I make a comeback, the target will be Miss Xu, you—the real Xu family."
"..."
He crouched down toward her.
Pinch her face: "At that time, my methods will only be more ruthless. I will do what I say."
When the voice fell, he turned her face coldly. Xu Ziqing had to turn his face to one side.
Jiang Yunan got up and left, and it took an unknown amount of time before the sound of footsteps disappeared in the distance, leaving behind the hazy yellow light, the woman who fell to the ground, and the two luxury cars that were smashed beyond recognition.
Yan Liang wakes up from a splitting headache, it's already high in the sun.
Soft bed, warm light, Yan Liang covered his eyes with his arms to adapt to the sudden brightness. It took a long time for Yanliang to sit up from the bed, looked down at herself, she had already changed into pajamas, but she could still smell the residual alcohol on her body.
Seemingly seeing that she had woken up, the servant opened the door and came in, bringing a sumptuous brunch. Yan Liang has no appetite at all, she only picks up the cup to drink water, and waved her hand to indicate that other things can be taken away.
The servant had no choice but to answer: "Yes." Then she left with the tray in her hand. Yan Liang was a little nauseated just drinking water, and she paused for two seconds to endure the discomfort. At this moment, a question suddenly occurred to Yan Liang, and he hurriedly called the servant: "That's right..."
"..."
"Who sent me back?"
The servant looked at her, and immediately felt a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "It's Lu Zheng, Mr. Lu..."
Yanliang who got the correct answer couldn't help but frowned, looking puzzled. Although she was so drunk that she was almost unconscious at the time, when the man kissed her with all her strength, she tried several times and finally opened a slit of her eyes with difficulty. At that time, the vague outline of the other party she saw was It's more like... Jiang... Yan Liang shook his head vigorously, denying this idea instantly.
Standing there, the servant finally made up his mind and promised Yanliang: "Don't worry, madam, we won't tell Mr. about this matter."
Yanliang laughed as soon as she heard it, and waved her hand to signal that she could leave.
As the servant left, the door was silently closed. Yanliang squeezed her brows and got out of bed, after thinking about it, she still found out her mobile phone and dialed the number.
The other party answered after only one ring, but Yan Liang suddenly didn't know what to say. The other party seemed to be waiting for her to speak—but in the face of her silence, the other party quickly dismissed this idea, "Are you sober?" Lu Zheng asked softly.
It seems that he was indeed the one who sent her back... Yan Liang didn't know whether she should breathe a sigh of relief or be more worried. After struggling for a while, he finally said: "I was too drunk last night, actually I..." Yanliang suddenly realized that what he said was wrong, so he simply gritted his teeth and changed his words, "I hope you forget what happened last night."
"Oh?" Lu Zheng raised his voice at the end, and asked her back in a joking manner, looking in a good mood, "Can you tell me specifically, what exactly do you want me to forget about what happened last night?"
Yanliang's chaotic thoughts couldn't help being drawn back to the confined space last night, but apart from the kiss that saved her life, she didn't even have any memory of herself. Her head hurts again... Yanliang thought for a long time, but in the end she could only say: "No matter what I said or did to you... please forget it."
This time, Lu Zheng on the other end of the phone also paused. Smiling: "I can forget it, but as compensation, you have to treat me to dinner tonight. Deal?"
"I… "
While she was still hesitating, Lu Zheng had already finalized: "I'll pick you up after work."
"..."
"..."
Yanliang's silence was regarded as another form of consent, so Lu Zheng went on to say: "I have a meeting to hold later, you should sleep a little longer. See you tonight."
Yanliang thought for a while, and hung up the phone without any further evasion.
On the other end of the airwaves, at Mingting Building and Lu Zheng's office, the assistant knocked on the door and came in, and saw Lu Zheng holding his mobile phone thoughtfully.
The assistant knocked on the door again, before Lu Zheng looked up at him.
"Mr. Lu, the meeting is about to start..."
Lu Zheng listened to the assistant's reminder while listening to the busy tone from the phone. The assistant had no choice but to remind again: "Mr. Lu..."
Lu Zheng suddenly came to his senses at this moment, gestured for the assistant to silence, and he hung up the unbroken call and dialed another mobile phone number.
The slow busy tone was torturing his eardrums, but fortunately the call was connected quickly.
The other party did not speak.
Lu Zheng stopped being around the bush, and asked frankly: "You called me out in the middle of the night yesterday, and asked me to take your wife home for you. I've done you a favor, can you tell me , What kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?"
"..."
"..."
"If you still want what you want most, then don't ask anything, don't expose anything."
Lu Zheng waited for a long time, only waiting for this answer from the other party. And as soon as the other party finished speaking, he put down the phone and left Lu Zheng alone, listening to the busy tone, silently weighing in his heart.
Xu Ziqing was frequently summoned by the police, and it would not be difficult for Yanliang to find her - just go to the police station and wait for the rabbit.
But when Yanliang went to the police station exhausted from a hangover, she was told that Xu Ziqing had been hospitalized.
"Hospitalized? Was she injured?"
Facing Yanliang's question, the police officer in charge of the case said with blood, "Do you believe it? I think she is looking for an excuse to hide from us."
Yanliang went to the hospital with the same speculation as the police officer, but unexpectedly, Xu Ziqing was really injured.
Not badly hurt.
When Yanliang arrived at the ward, Xu Ziqing was falling asleep, and he didn't know if he was really sleeping or pretending to be asleep, so Yanliang had to leave the ward silently, Zhou Cheng was sitting by the bedside, when he saw Yanliang coming, he naturally wanted to get up and come out.
"How did she get hurt?"
Zhou Cheng was also unclear: "She said she fell."
