The sea breeze is so strong that people who blow it can't stand still.Behind is an empty field, and in front is a cliff.

Below the cliff, there are a bunch of large and small reefs and raging waves.

Zhong Hanjue stood aside, looking at An Yunning who was slowly walking behind him.As cold and determined as that day.The sea breeze blew her short black hair, and that immature face seemed to have disappeared overnight, full of deepness.

Zhong Hanjue didn't move or speak. She thought that An Yunning came over so indifferently because she wanted to end her own life and push herself off the edge of the cliff.And An Yunning came to Zhong Hanjue's side, and she did reach out her hand as she expected.

But she didn't push Zhong Hanjue down, but slapped herself heavily on the face!

"No! Yun Ning..." Zhong Hanjue exclaimed.This slap was worse than hitting her on the face.

Immediately afterwards, An Yunning walked forward and stood beside Zhong Hanjue, without speaking, and did not look at Zhong Hanjue again.Then, under Zhong Hanjue's terrified eyes, he jumped up!Disappeared on the edge of the cliff...

"No!! Yun Ning!! Yun Ning!"

Zhong Hanjue sat up from the bed with an exclamation, his forehead was soaked with a thin layer of sweat, and in the quiet space, the beating of the heart was so clear.it was...a dream...

"Are you awake?" Still panting in fear, a voice sounded, and turning his head to look, Luo Ran was standing under the lamp, straight and slender.

"I...how long have I been asleep..."

Zhong Hanjue stood up with great effort, only to feel the pain all over his body, and the world was spinning for a while.This cold and dark place, she vaguely remembered, was the basement of An Yunning's house.

"I don't know how long I've been asleep. Anyway, you've been unconscious for a week."

"How did it take so long..." Zhong Hanjue couldn't believe it.Her body has always been very good, even though all kinds of conditions that day were mixed together, after so many days in a daze, she was still very uncomfortable, which made her a little unbelievable.

"It's nothing unusual. Like Xiao An, the string that had been stretched suddenly broke, and the body couldn't bear it." Luo Ran sat on the chair, and there was no warmth in his voice.

"What do you mean?"

"She has also experienced it, but it is much more serious than you. Do you want to know... What was she like when I brought her back more than a month ago?"

Luo Ran's words made Zhong Hanjue feel distressed for a while.How did she have the courage to listen to...

Seeing Zhong Hanjue bowed his head and remained silent, Luo Ran said slowly: "That day, she asked me to pick her up from your place, and then she came back here directly. After she came back, she collapsed... She had a high fever for many days No retreat...I can't eat, I can only rely on infusions to maintain my life needs...I lost a lot of weight in a few days...It's heartbreaking to be sad. I dare not leave, I am a little scared...She will be overwhelmed..."

"Enough...don't talk..." Zhong Hanjue raised his head to look at Luo Ran, and interrupted with red eyes.

"Forget it, it's useless to say it, and you don't care."

Taking a few deep breaths, Luo Ran's words sounded both unintentional and deliberate, in short, it was like burning.

"How long will you keep me locked up. I'm awake now, can you let me go? Oh no, take me to the police station and do whatever you want."

This is what Zhong Hanjue is more concerned about after waking up. Every day he is by An Yunning's side, she is in danger for one more day.Maybe Dong Jun hasn't given up on looking for the two people. For more than a week, he doesn't know what happened to the outside world. Dong Jun won't let it go.

"Oh, interesting. It's not that I haven't seen criminals who voluntarily go to the police station, and all of them have weird reasons. What about you, why?" Luo Ran laughed, thinking it was very interesting.

"Will you believe what I say?" Zhong Hanjue looked at her, not sure if she could believe what he said.

"I am a soldier, you are a thief. Do you think I will believe what you say. Unless...you give me a reason to believe it."

"Dong Jun. Dong Jun is the reason, believe it or not. He must not have given up looking for Yun Ning. I have disappeared for so long, and his patience must be getting less and less. If he finds out that I am here, it will be dangerous for Yun Ning. Although you are a policeman and have the ability to protect her, it is easy to catch a thief and difficult to prevent a thief. After all, Dong Jun did nothing, and there is no evidence to arrest him, but it will be too late when he makes a move... So, don't let me here , take me to the police station, at least, then he won't find it easily..." Zhong Hanjue looked at Luo Ran and said seriously.

After finishing speaking, Luo Ran over there stopped talking.

"Why don't you speak? Is it that you don't understand what I mean? It's just..." Seeing that Luo Ran still didn't speak, Zhong Hanjue wanted to explain again, but Luo Ran interrupted him as soon as he said a word.

"You love her, why didn't you tell her all this earlier, I knew all this earlier, and nothing later would happen. Xiao An will not be hurt like that by you, Zhong Hanjue... Don't talk about Xiao An, I can't wait to kill you now..."

Her words were like a whip, lashing down hard, with nowhere to hide.

"Oh, she doesn't even believe that I love her, how could you believe it..."

"The matter has come to this point, you are gone, and there is no need to lie anymore, so I can see that your concern for Xiaoan is true, just now in your sleep...you were still nervously calling her name...and The way you said that day that you never loved Xiao An, I still remember that feeling was not unfamiliar at that time. Because... I have also experienced it..."

"Really...hehe...I really can't tell..." Zhong Hanjue looked at Luo Ran and smiled helplessly.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. You and Xiaoan... What are you thinking, what are your plans, and you just keep torturing each other like this..."

"I don't want to do this either, and it's for her safety, that's why I want you to take me to the police station, me and her... I hope there will be no result..."

"Cooperate with me. Let me end all of this." Luo Ran stood up, walked to Zhong Hanjue, and said seriously.

"What do you want to do?" Zhong Hanjue looked at her with some doubts.

"He wants this piece of jade so much, what exactly is he going to do, and this piece of jade and your life experience, don't you really want to know? If you investigate thoroughly, maybe you can solve the unsolved case many years ago..."

"Oh, you are really dedicated..."

"That's natural. I'm a policeman. We have different positions."

"So... what do you want..."

"Let you go. Let Dong Jun find you and let him go out smoothly. Then tell him Xiaoan's whereabouts. Leave the rest to me. I have other arrangements."

"No. If Dong Jun finds Yun Ning, she will be in danger. Even if you are well prepared, can you prevent him? I don't think it's right. If that's the case... I'd rather pretend that I don't know anything about what happened back then .” Zhong Hanjue lowered his head, unwilling to agree.

"Oh, for her sake, you are really tolerant. Then, do you have a more secure solution? Or, can you protect her better than me and solve all this better? Zhong Hanjue, you have no choice. Only work with me."

"Then... what about her, does she know what you mean?"

"know."

"Hehe, if you let me go, aren't you afraid that I'll walk away?"

"I'm afraid. But I still have to make a choice. Xiaoan bet her life on your love for her, and I will bet on the success of this case with your love for her. If you are really willing to part with her, it's because I saw you away." Eyes. Well, it’s a special contest between us, between soldiers and thieves.”

"Why should I promise you, will you let me be safe and sound, and then let me be with her?"

"I won't. But I can end all of this. Now on the surface, she refuses to let you go, and she is full of obsessions that refuse to forgive you. However, if you really let her give up, it can be regarded as letting her go If you let yourself go, you can also make her... let you go. Zhong Hanjue, I beg you, if this continues...she will go crazy..."

Zhong Hanjue looked at Luo Ran, although what she said was a request, there was no sincerity on her face, it was more like an order.One is to let oneself choose, but there is only one unavoidable choice.

"I see. Then... when."

"You are very sick now. It will take a few days. I will let you out when you take care of your health."

"Well, I know. Hehe, I've been bored in this dark basement for so long, and I feel a little uncomfortable. Can I... go outside to see the light and breathe some air? Don't worry, I won't play tricks."

"Haha, there's no need for you not to dare. Okay, I'll let you go for a walk." Luo Ran smiled, and opened the handcuffs on her wrists that had been cuffed to the bedside railing.

"And my friend... Duan Jinche..."

"Don't worry, he has already been let go. You are all here, and it is useless to keep him here. After leaving the room, don't walk around after you go outside. Someone will ask you to return to this basement after a while, so do the same." Just fine." After Luo Ran explained, he left the basement first.

Zhong Hanjue moved his limbs and body, and then left the basement.
