"You're Eleven's fiancé."

Although the boy came over, his eyes were very unhappy. He curled his lips and said, "I don't like you."

"It doesn't matter. I don't like you either." The man said with a smile.

Xiaozhi: ...

He turned to look at the girl who was staring at him quietly and asked, "Your name is Hua Wanzhao, right? Who gave you that name?"

"My grandfather gave it to me."

Wen Can nodded: "Do you value Eleven very much?"

The girl nodded wordlessly, looking at him with a look that said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Wen Can smiled, glanced in the direction where Ye Kong left, and when he lowered his eyes, one could see that there was no smile in his eyes.

"Then do you think it would be dangerous for Eleven to go hiking in slippers so late at night?"

"No." Xiao Zhi immediately held his head high and puffed out his chest. "Eleven is more familiar with the back mountain than we are. He can walk there with his eyes closed!"

"Really?" Wen Can looked at him indifferently, "What about Yuan Ye who went up the mountain with a shovel?"

"..."

Obviously, the two children were very smart and did not misunderstand this sentence as Wen Can caring about Yuanye's safety.

Xiao Zhi looked at him warily: "What do you mean?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Ye Kong and Yuan Ye don't have a good relationship. In fact, the girl next to Yuan Ye is quite hostile to her - right?"

The man looked at Xiaocao, his tone was light and questioning.

The girl nodded hesitantly.

"They rarely talked to each other when they spent the New Year at the Flower Box before. Grandpa always told Eleven not to bother with Brother Yuanye."

"That is to say, they do have a bad relationship - and now, Ye Kong has listened to you and is obviously going to stop Yuan Ye from doing something. Do you think they will quarrel or even fight?"

Wen Can said calmly: "If a fight breaks out, in the forest late at night - do you still think Ye Kong is not in danger?"

Xiao Zhi suddenly jumped up: "Yuan Ye wouldn't dare to do anything to Eleven!"

"You know him so well?" The man glanced at him indifferently.

Xiao Zhi's face turned red, and after taking two deep breaths, he suddenly turned around and was about to rush up the mountain, but was stopped by Wen Can.

The man's hand grabbed his collar like a pair of pliers and lifted the boy's feet off the ground.

When Xiao Zhi came back to his senses, he found that he was back to the same place. He stepped back and looked at the man in front of him as if he were a prehistoric monster. There had been children with disabled legs in their yard before. Such children were usually as fragile and pale as paper, and their hands had no strength at all. But this man, when this man lifted him just now, gave him a creepy sense of unshakable power.

He doesn't look at all like someone with disabled legs who hasn't exercised for a long time.

Wen Can didn't pay much attention to his reaction, he just looked at Xiaocao.

Xiao Cao also said at this time: "You are right, Eleven may indeed be in danger, so what should we do now?"

"You know where Qu Wu lives, right? Go wake her up and tell her what happened."

"Where are the others?"

Wen Can thought for a moment, then turned around and pointed to the door at the end of the row of houses: "My secretary lives there. Can you please knock on the door for me?"

·

A few minutes later, Qu Wu rushed down from upstairs, and almost stumbling and falling did not slow her down at all.

She ran under the eaves and when she rushed into the backyard, she saw Wen Can and his secretary by the pool, but she just gave them a look that said "I see" and ran straight to the back mountain like passing by air. When she passed by the firewood pile, she grabbed an iron rod used as a clothesline.

Wen Can: ...

secretary:……

Looking at the back of the woman rushing away with an iron rod in her hands, the secretary couldn't help but ask, "Is there going to be a murder?"

He looked down at his boss calmly and noticed that the man's expression was colder than he had ever seen him. His eyes were staring straight at the deep mountains where the vegetation was overgrown, as if thick clouds were rolling in it.

"You..." the secretary said, "Do you want to go up? I'll carry you?"

"No, the efficiency is too low, and," Wen Can paused and said lightly, "it would be useless if I went."

"These are all things I don't understand, and tombstones I don't recognize."

He lowered his eyes, and when he raised them again, he had regained his composure: "Go ahead, protect her, and also prevent them from really fighting on the mountain."

"What about you here?"

"The door is locked. What kind of danger could there be in this place?" Wen Can said without question, "Go ahead."

The secretary and part-time bodyguard, who had won more than a dozen trophies in Muay Thai and fighting competitions and had also passed several levels of examinations for the chairman of Xingfei Group, nodded to Wen Can, unbuttoned his suit and strode up the mountain.

It was not until then that the two children who helped to notify people came running over breathlessly. Behind them, there was Yuan Xiaoqi, whose eyes were stained with eye boogers and whose hair was messy from sleeping, and who almost crawled all the way over.

"Where are they?"

She looked around with wide eyes in front of Wen Can.

Wen Can looked at the two children.

Xiao Cao lowered her head in shame, Xiao Zhi frowned and said, "She has very sharp ears, and Qu Wu lives next door to her."

"Where are they?! Did they really go up the mountain?"

Wen Can looked at the anxious girl and nodded.

Yuan Xiaoqi let out a whine and ran up the mountain.

"But I don't know the road!" She muttered as she ran up the mountain, "Brother, don't be impulsive! Don't fight with Ye Kong!"

Wen Can frowned slightly as he looked at her back and glanced at Xiao Zhi.

The boy seemed to understand what he meant immediately, and immediately crossed his arms and said, "I won't help someone who hates Eleven - it would be better if she just got lost and fell to her death in the mountains."

Wen Can: ...

Xiao Cao frowned slightly and said, "I'll go."

After she finished speaking, she quickened her pace and chased in the direction of Yuan Xiaoqi.

Xiaozhi shouted in vain but got no response.

He slumped his shoulders, turned his head to glance at Wen Can, snorted coldly, and hugged his arms again.

Silence quickly filled the backyard.

The night sky and the Milky Way are reflected in the cold pool water. When the wind blows occasionally, one can't tell whether it is the pool that is rippling or the Milky Way.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Zhi, whose legs were numb from standing, finally could no longer maintain his arrogant attitude and sat down by the pond.

"Hey."

He suddenly said to Wen Can, "Why don't you go back to your room? There are mosquitoes here, and it's very cold."

"If you want to leave, just leave." Wen Can didn't even look at him.

"...I don't want to leave. I want to wait for Eleven." He muttered and slapped to death a mosquito that was biting him through his pants.

A while passed silently again, and the boy heard a murmur that sounded like a dream.

"I'm waiting for her too."

“That’s all I’m good at.”

The boy tilted his head as if he was hallucinating: "You spoke?"

A cold wind blew in from the mountain, and only the water in the pond rippled back and forth with the starlight. There was no other sound in the backyard.
