The waves hit the shore constantly, and occasionally you can hear a few birds chirping across the sky. The originally quiet night was interrupted by a sudden phone ringing.

Li Yue fell asleep in a daze and raised her hand to touch the mobile phone on the bedside table.

She pressed the answer button, and a sharp voice came from the other end.

"Xiao Xu, the company is in an emergency situation right now. No matter what, you have to come back as soon as possible. You can't lose your mind by playing with things."

A series of inexplicable words made Li Yue slightly stunned, but she soon realized that she had taken Jiang Xu's cell phone by mistake.

A slender, cold white hand stretched out, and the next moment, the phone had been taken away from Li Yue's hand.

Just as Li Yue was about to explain to him that she didn't mean it, Jiang Xu had already turned around and said as she walked, "Mom, I know."

She only had time to see his cold and distant profile. After hearing these words, Li Yue was isolated in the room by a closed glass door.

Jiang Xu's expression over there was calm, and his eyes were dark and unclear.

The light in the room passed through the glass door and shone into the balcony in bits and pieces. Li Yue could vaguely see Jiang Xu's figure half submerged in the night.

Recalling Cai Jiang's mother's words, Li Yue's eyes were filled with emotions.

The company is in an emergency.

He put aside the complicated affairs there to bring her out. The company's affairs were indeed more difficult for him.

Li Yue thought in annoyance that it would have been better if she had not been so casual and made such an unreasonable request.

"If you are busy, let's go back early."

She sat on the bed and thought for a moment, then said to Jiang Xu who was preparing to take a bath over there.

Jiang Xu's voice was slightly cold, "There's no rush."

"Can......"

Before Li Yue could finish speaking, Jiang Xu rubbed her head and said, "Don't be in a hurry, I have a sense of proportion."

Li Yue raised her head slightly, her eyes falling into Jiang Xu's deep and twinkling eyes.

He seemed to have everything in mind.

She nodded, relieved.

-

Hearing that there was a lively market here, Li Yue was eager to give it a try and decided to take Jiang Xu for a walk.

It happened to be the peak traffic period, and the streets were crowded with people. Li Yue was almost knocked down by the crowd several times.

"Mom! Hurry up!"

A childish voice sounded from behind, and then, Li Yue was pushed hard on the back.

She staggered a few steps and almost lost her balance, but the child jumped past her quickly.

Just as she was about to fall, a strong arm stretched out from beside her to hold her steady.

Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief, met Jiang Xu's gaze, and said thank you softly.

Jiang Xu looked at the crowds of people nearby, stretched out his hand to hold Li Yue's wrist without hesitation, and said in a cold voice: "Follow me closely, I won't be able to find you if you get lost."

That's what he said, but he held her firmly, not as if he didn't want to care about her.

Jiang Xu's inconsistency was seen by Li Yue, and she couldn't help but curl her eyes: "Okay."

She was curious about many gadgets she had never seen before. Even though there were noisy people nearby and there were many people, it did not weaken her enthusiasm at all.

In such weather, the temperature was very high. After walking for a while, layers of sweat broke out on Li Yue's face.

Her mouth was so dry that she could only stop in front of a small open space and looked at the canteen not far away, with longing in her eyes.

Jiang Xu saw through her thoughts: "Want to drink water?"

Li Yue nodded, "I'll buy it. What do you want to drink?"

As she said this, she wanted to rush out, but was pulled back by Jiang Xu.

The tip of Jiang Xu's thumb rubbed her wrist for a few seconds, then said, "Wait for me here, don't run around."

Li Yue looked at him, then at the almost airtight crowd, and hummed softly.

He was taller and stronger than her, so he obviously had an advantage in the crowd.

Watching Jiang Xu reenter the crowd, Li Yue stood there bored, looking down at her phone.

There were various lively conversations in front of him, and Li Yue was completely unaware that danger was approaching behind him.

When Jiang Xu turned back to the original place, Li Yue was no longer there.

As if realizing something, his eyebrows gradually frowned.

A phone call interrupted his thoughts.

Jiang Xu looked at the caller ID on her phone, the mood between her brows getting darker and darker.

A strange uneasiness arose in his heart.

"Xiao Xu, your mother suddenly became ill and is about to die. Come back quickly and see her for the last time."

This sudden news made Jiang Xu's figure suddenly stiffen. He squeezed the phone tightly, and his joints even turned pale.

For a moment, his mind was in chaos.

Between the split of consciousness, he heard his own voice forced out of his throat: "You said...what?"

Jiang Lu's tone didn't sound like he was joking. He urged repeatedly in a calm voice: "Where are you now? Come back quickly, your mother is waiting to see you one last time!"

Even in the company, Jiang Lu and Jiang Xu never dealt with each other, but they never showed such heaviness and seriousness.

Jiang Xu seemed to hear his own heartbeat. It was extremely dull at that moment, and the expression on his face gradually became blank.

His eyes fell vacantly on the small area in front of him. He didn't know how long it took before he finally said, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, a rare look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Time no longer allowed him to delay any longer. Jiang Xu's eyes fell on the mineral water in his hand, and his eyes became darker.

He raised his hand and dialed another number.

"Teacher, I am Jiang Xu..."

The place where the sky was clear not long ago has been shrouded by a large dark cloud at some point. The air is extremely hot and gloomy, and the sky is so gloomy that it seems to be pressing down on the ground.

Li Yue gradually regained consciousness from her coma.

The pain on the back of her neck was severe, and when she moved a little, the pain made her gasp.

As consciousness awakens, the world in front of us changes from blurry to clear.

Li Yue realized that her hands and feet were tied and she was in an unknown unfinished building.

But from the still sweltering temperature, she judged that she was still in this city.

There was a row of people standing not far away from her, all of them wearing stiff suits and sunglasses covering most of their faces, with indifferent expressions.

This scene gradually overlapped with her memories from her previous life.

Li Yue frowned, trying desperately to remember some details, but found that his memories were already in pieces.

"Who are you and why do you want to tie me up?" Li Yue broke the silence with a hoarse voice.

Realizing that Li Yue had woken up, the group of people just tilted their heads this way and seemed to give her a look, but they all remained silent in agreement.

They were in a stalemate like this, and the group of people made no next move. They just guarded Li Yue tightly and did not give her any chance to escape.

Li Yue could tell that these people did not want her life.

In other words, the people behind them did not want her life.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, and some ideas gradually became clear in her mind.

"Are you waiting for someone?" This time, Li Yue's voice was very determined.

One of the men in suits gave her a look of surprise, and then warned in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, be honest, it's not your time to die yet."

Li Yue wanted to say something else, but the familiar sharp pain came from the back of her neck again. She froze and passed out completely.
