"The last time we met, I told Lao Yang, and Lao Yang asked why you haven't been home for the past few years. You child..." Teacher Qi shook his head, "Sometimes you are quite relentless of."

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Qi, work..."

"Don't mention that you're busy at work." Teacher Qi interrupted her, "No matter how busy you are, you won't be able to spare 10 minutes? It takes 8 minutes to drive from my house. I'm looking at my watch."

Xu Anyi kept his smile unchanged, but his hands under the table unconsciously clenched into fists.

"Xiao Yi." Teacher Qi put down his chopsticks, apparently not in a hurry to eat noodles.

A quarter of an hour ago, she called to say that she was passing by Gala Mall, and she just wanted to try the newly opened ramen restaurant in the mall.She especially likes to eat noodles, Xu Anyi knew about it more than ten years ago.

"During the time you went to the United States, let alone you and Uncle Yang, even your parents called us all day long, why didn't there be any news all of a sudden. Later, when I came back, the movie I was going to shoot was not made, You have also terminated the contract with the company. Your mother knows that you have ideas, but she is also afraid that you will be wronged."

"There's nothing wrong with it, I've told her that it's just that I've been working for too long and I want to change careers." The phone in his pocket vibrated twice, Xu Anyi took it out and put it on the table on purpose, "Thank you and Uncle Yang, I'm very happy." OK."

Teacher Qi took a sip of the soup and frowned, "This soup is a bit salty."

Turn a blind eye to the mobile phone that flickers and vibrates frequently on the table.

"Teacher Qi..."

"An Yi." Teacher Qi lifted up his chopsticks, and the gentle side before could no longer be seen in his eyes, "Be honest, did the person Lao Yang introduced to you do something?"

The phone screen flickered, Xu Anyi glanced at it, it was Chen Xi.She got up naturally, "Excuse me, Teacher Qi, I have a call."

A cheerful Japanese song was playing in the restaurant, but Teacher Qi's slight sigh seemed to ring in his ears, drowning out all the noise.

"Hey! Yuan Xinjia received a lawyer's letter the day before yesterday, and she wanted to keep her mouth shut. This time, she's fully recruited, admitting that she is looking for outsourcing, but the outsourcing can't be contacted." At the end, Chen Xi also brought a string of "Gah quack" giggle.

"...What are you happy about when something happened to someone?"

"It's just being happy." Chen Xi stopped laughing, "Maybe they think they're doing it for themselves."

"...Two two, don't forget that you are on the same boat." Xu Anyi held up the phone and looked inside, and Teacher Qi was also looking at her.

"It has nothing to do with us, we have an exemption clause. If Cavill wants to sue, he can only sue Gu Le. My second uncle's lawyer team is still very strong. Although he has been transferred now, my father and I..."

At this moment, another call came in, Xu Anyi looked at it, it was Gu Pan.

"Two Er, I'll get back to you later. I'll answer the phone."

Once connected, Gu Pan asked directly, "An Yi, where are you?"

"company."

"Do you have time? Time to go back. I just got off the plane and I'm waiting for the bus."

Her tone was urgent, Xu Anyi realized that something was wrong, asked her what happened, and walked into the restaurant.

"Lin Lin outsourced to Gu Le, that is, He Guang's "West Out of Yangguan". Now it seems to be in trouble. Her old employer wants to sue Gu Le. Gu Le is looking for her. I can't find her now. An Yi, you're close, go back and take a look first. She..." Gu Pan's voice dragged out of tears, "What the hell is going on!"

"Don't worry, I'll go back right away." Xu Anyi hung up the phone, and he arrived at Teacher Qi's desk, "I have something to do first, teacher, it has nothing to do with uncle, I just... let's talk about it next time."

Things, good and bad, always go hand in hand.

On the way back, she wondered if she had noticed anything unusual before, but it seemed that she hadn't.

After the first video, Lin Jiqiao sent her three more videos in the past few days. The wings of Flying Pudding grew from a small piece to half its length.

She is used to reporting to Big Curly for all the activities at home, and the other party seems to be very comfortable with this rhythm.

The day before yesterday, Xu Anyi went on a temporary business trip to the neighboring province and sent a message to Curly. She also sent a screenshot of the weather forecast, suggesting that it might rain.

Different from Gu Pan's almost pessimistic cautiousness, Xu Anyi thinks that Lin Jiqiao is not so closed, maybe he just simply doesn't like contact with strangers.

She came back very late last night, and there was no reply to the message she sent to Lin Jiqiao.After arriving home, the little curly opened the door pitifully, complaining that the big curly left him alone in the living room, so she changed the water for the little curly and fed the canned food.

The pudding may have grown in size recently, and I usually only eat half of it, but I ate a can in one breath yesterday.

I also ate a lot of cat food this morning.

wrong.

She didn't feed the pudding yesterday.

Lin Jiqiao didn't know how long she stayed here, but she still remembered going to the bathroom six times.Although the concept of time is very vague, she also vaguely remembers that the interval between the last few times is getting longer and longer.

Because she had neither eaten nor drank water.

She turned off all the lights, and all the computers, routers, workstations, and servers.

That way Dan and Hans can't find her.

Don't let her participate in the damn company review meeting!

But it didn't seem to work, and they found her anyway.

She heard sirens and heard the crowd yelling.Countless hands were grabbing her, and countless people were squeezing her around.

She managed to get to the middle of the road, God knows how hard it took her.

But those people were unreasonable at all, and pushed her from the middle of the road to this side.

She just wanted to cross the sidewalk, she just wanted to go across the road.

The sound of the siren became harsher, and a new siren sound was mixed in. This is...

this is……

ambulance.

Chapter 23

The 35th floor was very quiet, the quietness she was familiar with in the past days.

Before going upstairs, Xu Anyi sent Lin Jiqiao a message, telling her to come back temporarily.

There was no reply until she entered the room.

She put on a portable headset and dialed Gu Pan's number.

"I have arrived."

"I still have 10 minutes." Gu Pan's voice was very low, but Xu Anyi could still hear her suppressed panic, "She can't go downstairs, so she must be hiding somewhere. Bedroom, yes, bedroom, it should be It's in the bedroom."

Xu Anyi changed her shoes, and used her right ear without earphones to capture all the sounds in the room, the hum of the refrigerator running, her own breathing and heartbeat, and the meowing from the opposite side.

She stayed on the phone and sent a message to Lin Jiqiao.

-Panpan I'm a little worried that I can't contact you, so let me check back.

-I am coming.

As soon as the glass door opened, Pudding jumped on his feet.Xu Anyi bent down and picked it up.

Still no response on WeChat.

Xu Anyi whispered to Gu Pan, "I'm coming in."

The autumn tiger was in full swing, the central air conditioner was turned off, and the living room was extremely stuffy. Xu Anyi turned on the ceiling light in the living room, and saw the sign "Don't Enter" hanging on the bedroom door.

She turned the lock, but it didn't open.Locked from the inside.

"The door is locked."

"Locked?" Gu Pan cursed in a low voice, and then said, "Go from the north, there is a door in the bathroom on your side."

"……you sure?"

Xu Anyi put down the pudding and went to the bathroom.

The walls of the room are covered with 60*60 camouflage tiles. According to Wang Pan's guidance, Xu Anyi found the button under the cabinet, pressed it, and an area of ​​the wall was recessed, retracting towards the walls on both sides, opening a width of 80 cm.

"... Are you shocked?" Gu Pan was suddenly very happy when he heard the opposite gasp, "Black technology."
