Chapter 42 Rainy Night

In the resplendent hall, the crystal chandeliers have a blurred luster, and the bright pearls and red wine are intertwined, spreading out a gorgeous flashy light gold.

Chu Ming stepped on the velvet red carpet, wandering among the glasses of red wine at a leisurely pace, entertaining all kinds of people.

He doesn't like this kind of occasion very much, but he still has to participate in it more often.After a few laps, he quietly left the crowd and stood alone at the edge of the hall.

The banquet was still lively, with human voices and music intertwined.Chu Ming leaned against the wall, lowered her head, and saw that she had received a private message.

[xxx: I have a meeting]

[xxx: miss you]

Chu Ming smiled slightly and replied "Oh".Then he raised his head and glanced at the banquet hall.

Just at this moment, he saw a particularly eye-catching figure.

The man stood in the middle of the hall with a calm expression, holding a glass of wine casually, surrounded by several other people, and from time to time he turned his head and said something to the people next to him.

Chu Ming recognized him as the president of Yaoguang, Zhou Mu'an, and also recognized the person beside him——Yi Zhi.

Ten years ago, the person in charge of Yaoguang was Zhou Mu'an's father, Zhou Shenrui, and Chu Ming's mother's half-sister, Shu Yating... had been Zhou Shenrui's lover.

Chu Ming didn't have much contact with Zhou Mu'an, and only got to know Shu Yating when he was investigating the cause of Shu Yating's death.For some reason, looking at that person from a distance now, he always feels that this President Yaoguang... seems a little familiar.

It seems to be the same kind of banquet. From the hotel lobby to the cold back garden, he met someone, and there is a faint, very strange fragrance...

The brain burst into severe pain, and Chu Ming pressed his temple tightly, leaning against the cold wall behind him in pain.

He was familiar with that feeling, and he had experienced such pain several times while taking the medicine.So he just tried his best to control himself, stretched his body as much as possible, and stood up straight again like a normal person.

The waiter at the banquet noticed his strangeness and came over to inquire.Chu Ming shook her head to show that she was fine, took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray, and took a sip slowly.

He continued to stare at Zhou Muan in the middle of the hall—he was not surprised that President Yaoguang would appear here, but the one Zhou Muan brought out.

Yi Zhian followed Zhou Muan quietly, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, like a pale and lifeless marionette. Even Zhou Muan put his palm on the back of his neck and caressed him several times, but he did not refuse.

Seeing Yizhi's silent and even dull expression, Chu Ming thought of something, and slowly frowned.

He typed a series of private messages on his phone and sent them to Ji Ze.

【You said that type D drugs can control people's hearts, so what are the first symptoms?】

hum-

In the middle of the hall, Zhou Mu'an glanced at his mobile phone, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He carelessly rubbed the wrist of the person next to him with his cold fingertips, then patted the other person's face, and said, "Go."

The man's tone was gentle, but his voice was cold, and it was still soaked in a sense of coldness.

Yizhi stared blankly at him for a few seconds, then turned and left.

-

There was no reply to the text message sent, and Chu Ming made two phone calls in a row, but they were still not connected.

He had a bad premonition in his heart, and immediately left the hotel, and walked quickly to the underground parking lot while calling Tang Yuan.

beep - beep -

"Hi, no one answered your call, please wait a moment—"

Before the sweet and mechanical female voice over there ended, Chu Ming had hung up the phone.

Not right.

he thought.

How could it be such a coincidence that something happened when he discovered the clue...

It doesn't seem like a coincidence, but rather premeditated.

Thinking of this, Chu Ming immediately dialed another number, it rang twice, and the call was connected there.

"Bai Yi!"

Without waiting for the man over there to say anything, Chu Ming said directly, "I'm at xx hotel now, and I'm going to find Ji—"

laugh.

Something sharp grazed the air, tearing apart the rushing wind.

Chu Ming's arm hurt, as if a sharp thorn had been pierced into his skin.All the strength in his body flowed away quickly, his fingertips loosened, and the phone fell to the ground, falling apart in a blink of an eye.

His sight seemed to be covered with a layer of gray cloth, and while his consciousness was drowsy, Chu Ming staggered and turned his head reluctantly——

The last thing he saw clearly was an expressionless face.

-

wow-

Tens of thousands of raindrops streaked across the air coldly, the torrential rain poured down, and the road sank in the rain all over the sky, extending all the way to the gray and hazy front.

The wheels rolled over the muddy water heavily, stirring up a cloudy film.Two steel behemoths roared between the roads in the light of rain, one in front and the other behind, chasing each other desperately.

Chu Ming slowly opened his eyes amidst the violent shock, but felt a splitting headache and couldn't help but groan.

He heard the sound of pouring rain and the violent roar of the car, and countless images flashed in his mind. He gasped in pain and wanted to press his head, but found that his hands were tightly tied behind him by a thick rope, unable to move .

"Director Chu."

Someone in the driver's seat turned his head slightly and said, "That person is chasing you."

Chu Ming: "..."

Rainy days, highways, cars - the scene in front of him coincided with a scene deep in his memory, he lowered his head in pain, and said after a long time: "Yizhi... what do you mean?"

Yizhi didn't answer, but just turned the steering wheel violently to let the car turn around the curve at high speed.

This was a desperate act. Chu Ming fell uncontrollably towards the car window, watching the car door slamming against the guardrail of the expressway, life and death.

His head hit the car window, and Chu Ming's eyes went black under the impact, and he could barely see through the rearview mirror not far behind, a familiar car followed them closely, also galloping desperately in the rain.

...No, it shouldn't be like this...

It was as if something was about to break out of its shell in my mind, and my memory and mind were confused into a ball of twine that was hanged.Chu Ming curled up in pain, clenched her teeth, but still couldn't help sobbing.

It shouldn't be like this... It's different from what he remembered.

Sweat slid down his pale face and wet his soft black hair.Chu Ming was trembling with severe pain, and her nails almost sank into her palm.

boom -

Several streaks of silver and white lightning twisted and struck down, the dark sky was as bright as day for a moment, and Chu Ming's face was also turned pale by the thunder and lightning.

The mobile phone rang in the carriage, the eerie and eerie tune seemed to be a reminder from hell.

Chu Ming's body froze, and her sweat-drenched eyelashes slightly lifted, revealing the cold pupils underneath.

Yizhi put on the earphones: "Hello..."

His voice faltered.

A cold, extremely sharp blade was pressed against his exposed neck, and the blade was stained red with blood, because the slender finger holding the blade was cut by it, dripping with blood.

Yi Zhi raised his head, his gaze met Chu Ming's cold gaze in the rearview mirror, and saw him silently showing a cold smile to himself.

"...Yes, I'm still on my way..."

As Yizhi said, he slowly slowed down the speed, and finally parked the car on the side of the road, "I'll take care of it."

The phone hung up, and he took off the headset without a word.

Chu Ming: "What have you dealt with?"

"..."

Yizhi didn't answer, but just stared at him closely in the rearview mirror, his pair of black eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, unable to stir up any waves.

Chu Ming sneered, and said, "It turns out that this is the effect of type D medicine—opening the car door."

Not far behind, the man rushed out of the car in the rain, and hugged Chu Ming who staggered out with his arms, with such force that he seemed to lock this man by his side for the rest of his life.

Chu Ming fell into his arms, took a deep breath, and said, "Are there just the two of us?"

"The people over there will come over soon, 5 minutes at the latest."

Bai Yi took off his coat to wrap him around him, and said in a deep voice, "Go back to the car and explain to you after it's safe."

Chu Ming said: "I have tied up Yizhi, and I will bring him back too."

"No, he stays here."

Bai Yi shook his head and said, "He has a micro-tracking device installed in his body, and the people over there will take it away."

He helped Chu Ming back to his car, then went to check Yi Zhi in front of him, and after confirming that he would not escape, he returned and sat in the driver's seat.

Chu Ming was sitting in the passenger seat, the sleeve that hid the blade was ripped open, and the wound on his hand was washed away by the heavy rain, and the flesh was turned out, revealing a hideous bloody mouth.

Bai Yi hurriedly pulled out the gauze to bandage him up, but Chu Ming shook his head, took the band-aid and simply pasted it on, saying, "It's just a small hole, let's go, don't delay too long."

Although Ji Ze will come here soon, he always feels that this place is not safe, and there is always a string in his heart.

The car started, turned around and drove in the direction it came from.The rain was getting heavier on the road, and it was almost difficult to see clearly a few meters away.

The rain twisted and slid down the car window like a thin snake. After a few minutes, several black cars suddenly appeared on the road ahead—like ghosts wandering in the rainy night, silently watching travelers lost in the rain .

Chu Ming stared at the cars and clenched his fingers.

"That's... Ji Ze and the others?"

"..."

Bai Yi frowned deeply, and said in a low voice after a while, "Sit still."

The steering wheel turned sharply, the wheels bit the ground like sharp teeth, and the giant steel beast let out a violent roar, and blatantly plunged into the rain!

Boom--! !

The huge thunder and lightning shocked the entire sky and howled. Amidst the deafening thunder, several gunshots were silently covered up.

squeak--

The wheels grazed heavily against the ground, making a series of tooth-piercing grinding sounds.The car speeding on the road suddenly rushed towards the guardrail uncontrollably, under the silent watch of the heavy rain and thunder... disappeared in the vast night.
