"Lin." Xu Anyi called out.

Lin Jiqiao was startled at the time, and reflexively put his hands behind his back and hid his phone.

Xu Anyi pretended not to see anything, and spread out the folder, "This is the lawyer's letter drafted by Lawyer Yang and I today, please take a look at it when you have time."

"No, no need." Lin Jiqiao stammered, "I'll give it to you, just give it to you."

Xu Anyi turned to the last page of the document, "Some of the contents involve money, you should take a look."

Lin Jiqiao turned half a circle with his hands behind his back, and reached out to take it.

On the last page, there was a string of numbers marked with fluorescent light. Lin Jiqiao glanced at it and couldn't help but be speechless, "Ohhh."

"Based on the subscriptions disclosed in Cavill's financial report, combined with estimated future earnings, this number is reasonable."

Lin Jiqiao glanced again, "Hans set the price too high."

"Because it's a great software. I've read online reviews and they all say it's amazing." Xu Anyi said, "You're amazing."

Lin Jiqiao's face turned from white to red visible to the naked eye, and his chain bones were stained with pink, "...Thank you."

Xu Anyi stared at her steadfastly, until she was about to raise her head before looking away as if nothing had happened. "If you have any questions, you can send a message or wait for me to come back and say, I'm going out first. Don't forget to get up early tomorrow."

"Well. Tomorrow morning, you call me, or I call you."

"Okay." Xu Anyi walked to the other side of the living room, unable to explain what kind of emotion caused it, she stopped and turned around to ask: "That...is it Panpan?"

Seeing her throwing away the phone immediately, Xu Anyi was indescribably happy. Before Lin Jiqiao could react, he waved his hand, "See you tomorrow."

As soon as the north door was closed, Lin Jiqiao collapsed on the sofa, suddenly feeling that the only sound left in the world was his own heartbeat.She took out her phone from the crack, bit her lip and sent Gu Pan a message.

- we got caught.

Panpan: Meow meow?

-She knows it's you who's texting.

Panpan: Don't think too much, you didn't say it yourself, did you?

- no, she went out.

Panpan: ...don't mess yourself up.

Lin Jiqiao returned a frightened expression: To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised even if you jumped into her trap when you went there.

Panpan: ...you shut up.

Lin Jiqiao: I didn't speak, I was typing.

Lin Jiqiao: Do ​​you know what the biggest flaw is?

Panpan: ...

Panpan: I don’t know and I don’t want to know.

Lin Jiqiao: You never post the positioning, but this time you did.

Panpan: ...you said it, I'm a little scared.

Panpan: Your 3214 is a person, not a monster, okay?

Lin Jiqiao: I still think you should ask her directly. If she doesn't want to tell you, you should respect her privacy.

The progress bar is stuck in the last third, and after a while, the system prompts "Failed to send information, do you want to try again".

Lin Jiqiao clicked to confirm, then turned to read the information again.

She sympathizes with Gu Pan, but it is limited to sympathy.

According to Gu Pan, it took them a lot of effort to get to Chu Xing's house. His mother is an elderly lady. She heard that she was looking for a son, and she was very enthusiastic. He was very smart when he was a child, and he talked about how many times he won scholarships in college.

After talking for two hours, I asked her where was your son, and the old lady said happily that his son had gone to a foreign country to make a film.

At first Gu Pan thought he had heard it wrong, so he turned around and checked with the village head who was acting as an interpreter in Juzhong. The village head told them that Xiaolu (Chu Xing) had returned yesterday and left at noon, and he might have met Gu Pan on the way.

Gu Pan collapsed all of a sudden, and sent Lin Jiqiao countless ellipsis in one breath.What's worse is that there is only a 2G network over there, and the signal is erratic, and the ellipsis is broken into parts by itself, and every word is crying blood.

In short, when Lin Jiqiao had the opportunity to look at his mobile phone, Gu Pan had already sent more than 100 messages, most of which were meaningless punctuation marks, and occasionally a desolate night scene would pop up.

Lin Jiqiao browsed for a while, and waited for Gu Pan's reply.

Pan: Do you think that the minibus could be her?

Lin Jiqiao looked up at the door vigilantly, worried that Xu Anyi would appear suddenly.

Very well, there was no movement at the door, but in the next second, her name popped up on the screen.

"Lin, I'll take someone back later."

Chapter 40

-Lin, I'll take someone back later.

With the addition of "Is it okay?", Xu Anyi put away his phone, gave the opposite party a little buffer time, and gave himself room to think calmly.

Zhan Siqi sat on a stone bench with her knees crossed, and the colorful neon lights of the high-rise building opposite were very gorgeous, casting grotesque reflections on the river, but none of them covered her body.

The autumn wind picked up, and the temperature on the riverside was much lower than that in the city surrounded by high-rise buildings. Zhan Siqi was wearing a hooded sweater, a mask, and a hat, but he couldn't stop shaking.

Xu Anyi put his arms around her shoulders, and hugged the silent young girl.Zhan Siqi sobbed, tilted his head and leaned over, still not saying a word.

More than half an hour ago, when she had just arrived at the riverside, her phone vibrated, but she didn't notice it. Then, a ringtone rang through the earphones. Zhan Siqi asked straight to the point, "Sister Yi, where are you?"

She glanced at the message, Zhan Siqi sent a message a minute ago asking if she was free.

Realizing that this was not Zhan Siqi's usual style, Xu Anyi told her where to meet without asking what was wrong.

Twenty minutes later, the tightly wrapped Zhan Siqi got out of the taxi.When she got out of the car, she tripped herself. If Xu Anyi hadn't been quick to reach out to support her, Zhan Siqi would have fallen down.But the road was clean, except for a few fallen leaves floating in the distance, it was because she didn't stand firm.

Seeing Zhan Siqi wearing a mask, Xu Anyi had a premonition that maybe the worst thing happened.

Xu Anyi didn't rush to ask her what happened.She saw tears and regret in Zhan Siqi's eyes. No matter what happened to Zhan Siqi, she had gone through the confusion period after the incident on the way here. She began to reflect on whether she did not do well enough, which led to that something happens.

She might even be wondering if she shouldn't ask for help.

So Xu Anyi took her hand with the thoughtfulness of a caring big sister, "Come with me to the river to relax."

She needs time to find the courage to re-examine what just happened, and decide whether to say it or not.

After three intersections, Zhan Siqi's palm finally felt a little warm, and he led her to sit on the stone bench. Xu Anyi said, "I understand you, no matter what happens, it won't be your fault."

Zhan Siqi nodded and shook his head, shrinking himself into a small ball.

In this case, Xu Anyi sent a message to Lin Jiqiao.Zhan Siqi needed a safe and comfortable environment, and the first thing she thought of was Lin Jiqiao's safe fortress.

In less than 3 minutes, maybe more than a minute later, Lin Jiqiao called.Seeing the name, Xu Anyi couldn't hide his surprise, told Zhan Siqi, got up and went downwind.

"The surveillance at home is on." Lin Jiqiao said something without thinking, he paused, and added, "I mean the public area."

"Well, I know." Xu Anyi nodded, unconsciously raised the side of his lips, and formed a shallow smile. "Don't you ask who it is?"

Lin Jiqiao cleared his throat and tried to keep his tone steady, "I'll find out soon."

"It's a little girl I met recently. She needs help with something. After much deliberation, I think you are the most likely to help her." Xu Anyi glanced at Zhan Siqi, she was facing the river, and Lin Jiqiao was also There was silence, as if he couldn't find a suitable reply for a while, so Xu Anyi took a step back and apologized, "I'm sorry, it happened suddenly."
