half thorns, half joy

After thinking for a long time, Tang Xuan finally decided to go there.

On the appointed morning, Tang Xuan told Xiao Zihan that she was going out for a walk to relax and buy some women's products. Xiao Zihan had no doubts that he was with him. Hearing that Tang Xuan was traveling alone, he didn't plan to go with him. He only told Tang Xuan to be careful on the road and continue on. Going to work on my final exam.

Tang Xuan was still worried, so she went to the supermarket to buy some fruit and a fruit knife, carried them on her back, and then got on the bus and headed to the temple in the suburbs.

Along the way, Tang Xuan was imagining various possibilities, imagining how to escape if Ke Ke wanted to attack her, how to escape if she found out that it was a trap, and how to defend herself if Xiao Zihan found out. .

Some people thought about it all the way, causing the bus to stop at the terminal. When Tang Xuan got off the bus with her schoolbag in her arms, her legs were limp.

But when she walked through the lush trees, walked to the front of the temple, and saw Coco, all her messy thoughts disappeared.

Coco's dress was different from before. She was wearing a set of off-white sportswear, with her hands in her pockets, she stood on the top of the steps and looked down at Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan pursed her lips, took a few steps up the steps, and stood in front of Ke Ke.

"Since you're here, let's go." Ke Ke glanced at Tang Xuan and walked up the higher steps.

Tang Xuan frowned, looked at Ke Ke's back and asked in confusion, "You asked me to come, what exactly do you want to tell me?"

Ke Ke said without looking back: "Let's climb the mountain first, and talk while climbing."

Since Tang Xuan had already arrived, there was no reason to turn back. She stood still for a few seconds, and finally followed.

Since it was not Sunday, it was still early in the morning, so there were not many people climbing, only some old men who were relatively strong and liked to exercise.

In the quiet atmosphere with only a few bird chirps occasionally, Tang Xuan's high-hanging heart slowly fell back to her chest, and she relaxed bit by bit.

"Well...Qian Susu, how are you doing now?" Tang Xuan didn't say a word all the way, and when she was about to climb to the top of the mountain, Tang Xuan couldn't help asking Ke Ke.

"Run away." Ke Ke replied concisely.

Tang Xuan was shocked, "Run away? What do you mean run away?"

Ke Ke didn't answer, climbed the last step, let out a long breath, and walked towards the open space on the top of the mountain.

Tang Xuan followed Ke Ke closely, and kept asking, "Why did you run away? Is it because of this incident? Where did she go?"

Ke Ke walked all the way to a deserted hillside, sat down, and then raised her eyes to glance at Tang Xuan, "Now that you know how to ask these questions, what have you been doing before?"

Tang Xuan was confused, "What do you mean?"

Coco did not speak again.

Tang Xuan was so anxious about each sentence, she also sat down next to Ke Ke, "If you have something to say, just say it, don't hesitate like this, since you asked me to come over, you didn't mean to play charades with me. "

Ke Ke snorted coldly, turned her head to look at Tang Xuan, her face was full of fear, "You don't know what you did wrong until now, do you?"

"what?"

"Wang Ming is dead, did you know?" Ke Ke threw out another explosive news with a serious face.

Tang Xuan didn't realize it for a while, but after a few seconds, she stammered, "Say...what did you say?"

"Wang Ming is dead." Ke Ke repeated it expressionlessly.

Tang Xuan shook her head, "No...how could it be? I didn't see any news about him in the report, and he was the manager of the Xiao Group. After he died, how could there be no movement from the Xiao Group?"

"He fell to his death from the cliff in front of him." Ke Ke pointed, "He died before the girl in your school jumped off the building. I went up the mountain to exercise, but I stumbled and fell. What news do you want to see?"

"A big man, how could he stumble and fall casually, it must be..."

It's ridiculous, and the smile is extremely disdainful, "It must be something? Man-made? Have you seen it? Do you have evidence? They did this kind of thing cleanly."

Tang Xuan still couldn't believe that a person disappeared so silently, "But Xiao Zihan didn't either..."

Ke Ke sneered, "Xiao Zihan knows shit, he's just an innocent young master, he thought his father Xiao Mingyuan was a good man."

Indeed, Xiao Zihan didn't seem to know anything. After all, his own company died. If Xiao Zihan knew the inside story, he would definitely not be so calm. Xiao Zihan doesn't have such a deep city yet.

Tang Xuan was silent, Keke just a few words, the amount of information was too much, so she didn't know where to start.After contemplating for a while, Tang Xuan slowly articulated what was in her mind.

"You know that Xiao Mingyuan has a problem, you also know that Wang Ming is dead, and Qian Susu has run away. You know so much, who are you? Why are you telling me this?"

The corner of Ke Ke's mouth curled up, as if she thought Tang Xuan asked a stupid question, "Don't you want to know what I said?"

"Yes." Tang Xuan nodded honestly, "But I also want to know why you did this and why you told me this."

Coco was silent again.

Just when Tang Xuan thought that Ke Ke would avoid this question again and was about to ask it again, Ke Ke spoke.

"Because I can see that you have hatred for the Xiao family and his son. I originally wanted you to do something for me."

Tang Xuan was taken aback. Keke's words really confuse her. Judging from her acquaintance with Keke and the few encounters with him, Keke has never expressed to her that she needs her help. Instead, it seemed that she had been asking for Coco's help.

After these things, she was only vaguely sure that Ke Ke should be on her side, but she still had no idea what Ke Ke wanted to do.

Is it...

By asking her to find Qian Susu, is she doing Ke Ke a favor?

So, why did Keke say again, she did something wrong, what did she do wrong?Could it be...

Tang Xuan bit her lip and looked at Ke Ke, as expected, she saw an expression of anger and disappointment on Ke Ke's face.

"This time... I was too impulsive... right..." Tang Xuan swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva before she managed to finish the sentence.

Coco snorted, it was the default.

Tang Xuan pinched her palms hard, and defended herself a little unwillingly, "I really don't know what to do. I called you the other day, and you told me to call the police impatiently. I..."

Ke Ke abruptly interrupted Tang Xuan, "I was with Lao Deng that day, and Lao Deng was sitting next to me."

"Then you didn't say anything later..."

"Later, I had other things, so I was delayed."

Speaking of this, Ke Ke knew that he was not without fault in this matter, so he didn't continue to blame, but sighed: "Now that things have happened, it's okay who is right and who is wrong, there is no need to pursue it." gone."

Despite what Ke Ke said, Tang Xuan still bit her lips.

Ke Ke looked at the trees and steps down the hillside, and said a little tiredly: "It's just that this time, it will be more difficult to investigate in the future, and they will be more vigilant. You should not do anything for a while, so as not to be discovered. "

"...Understood." Tang Xuan lowered her head and stared at a small grass under her feet. She thought that Zhang Qing's death had already made her feel bad enough, but now she realized that it could be even more painful.

After finally getting a clue, she was completely cut off by this incomplete anti-pornography and anti-illegal campaign.

What she could come into contact with, the dead, the missing, the missing, caught her off guard.

only……

Tang Xuan gritted her teeth, and the words came out almost word for word, "Wang Ming is dead. This also shows from the side that Wang Ming is just a small character, right?"

"Of course, he can be kicked out as soon as something happens. He doesn't matter at all."

"Okay." Tang Xuan clenched her fists, "I've learned this lesson. Next time, I will definitely find out who is behind the scenes!"

Ke Ke laughed out loud as if hearing a joke.

Tang Xuan frowned, and turned her head to look at Ke Ke.

"You don't know yet, you almost won't have another chance." With a contemptuous smile on her lips, Coco took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, pulled out one to light it, and skillfully blew out a smoke ring.

Tang Xuan stared and asked very seriously, "What do you mean?"

"Look for yourself." Coco said, then took out another mobile phone from her pocket, and threw it to Tang Xuan, "Password 230230, to view WeChat chat history."

Confusion was written on Tang Xuan's face. She followed what Ke Ke said, unlocked and opened WeChat, and saw clearly the owner of WeChat, and the familiar name at the top of WeChat. Subconsciously, she clicked open, and the moment she saw the chat history , she could hardly breathe!

Zhang Qing: Sister Susu, there is something wrong with that girl, I suspect she stabbed it this time.

Zhang Qing: I have confirmed 100% that she is the girlfriend of Boss Xiao's only son. She pretended not to know anything to lie to us, and she must have a purpose.

Zhang Qing: What shall we do?
Zhang Qing: Sister Su Su!Say something!

……

Zhang Qing: Forget it, everything is over.

Zhang Qing: It's all over.

Tang Xuan broke out in a cold sweat after reading a long list of chat records sent by Zhang Qing.Indeed, as long as she has the heart to ask, she will know that she is Xiao Zihan's girlfriend.

"This... this..." Tang Xuan's voice was trembling, "Did Qian Susu...see these words?"

Ke Ke replied coldly: "No, before Zhang Qing sent her these messages, I took her mobile phone away."

Tang Xuan relaxed a little, but was still very nervous, "Then... did Zhang Qing tell anyone else?"

"I don't know, probably not. There are rules for each line. Zhang Qing followed Qian Susu into the circle. If she has any important matters, she can only report to Qian Susu, and she cannot go to other people."

Tang Xuan looked up at Ke Ke timidly. She couldn't imagine what would be waiting for her if Qian Susu saw this record.

She knew that it was Ke Ke who saved her this time.

"Thank you."

"Humph." Ke Ke didn't take the credit, but said honestly: "Someone came to investigate, Lao Deng heard the news, and I followed Lao Deng to find out, so I took her mobile phone over during the party. Some evidence, I didn’t expect to find this.”

Tang Xuan swallowed her saliva in fear, and muttered again, "Thank you very much."

It may be that Tang Xuan was really scared, but Ke Ke explained: "This time, the superiors came to investigate directly. It is impossible that there is nothing wrong, so those people kicked out everyone below Wang Ming. You don't have to worry, they can't guarantee that their internal strife is fierce, even if they know it, they don't have the heart to pay attention to you."

"Hmm." Tang Xuan could probably guess a little about this.

Otherwise, if Zhang Qing still wanted to kill her, why didn't she seek revenge on her in the end, and instead choose to commit suicide by jumping off a building?
