My boss hung up again

The desire to take a bath was completely shattered by the desperate bathroom. She took the spare toothbrush and facial cleansing products that Bian Yuan gave her, and after washing, she lay on the bed without taking off her clothes. She planned to deal with it all night and go home early tomorrow morning. .

Leaving the lamp on the desk, she closed her eyes looking for sleep.

There are still mosquitoes in such a cold day.The mosquitoes in late autumn were extremely ferocious, desperately trying to drink her blood.Xin Yitong tossed and turned to repel the mosquitoes, but the annoying buzzing sound reappeared shortly after it disappeared, causing her to sit up distraught, hesitating whether to go downstairs to ask the proprietress for an electric mosquito tablet.

The sound of "creaking" on the wooden steps attracted her attention.Her room was diagonally facing the staircase, and the light from the corridor came in through the crack of the door below, and a dark shadow slowly expanded on the carpet—someone approached from far and near, stopping at her door.

The black shadow swayed from side to side as if hesitating. After a few seconds, the black shadow continued to expand and got closer to the door. The door made a slight sound of metal friction, very cautious.

Xin Yitong grabbed the lamp beside the bed and said loudly, "Bian Yuan, is that you?"

Of course it wasn't Bian Yuan, the person at the door came up from downstairs, the shadow was very wide, not like a woman's shadow.She shouted this to intimidate the other party, and also to tell the person at the door that she had a companion.

The black shadow paused obviously, then receded.

But she didn't hear the sound of going downstairs, and the black shadow didn't really leave, but hid itself.

Xin Yitong didn't dare to breathe, she held the desk lamp tightly and walked to the door with breathless steps, listening to the movement outside the house with all her attention.

Sure enough, there were sounds in the corridor from time to time, and the sound of footsteps was very slight, like the sound of leather soles rubbing against the ground slowly.Is it the man I met before?It shouldn't be him, he seems to be wearing cloth shoes.

Who is that?

Xin Yitong was hesitant to go out to threaten her. After all, the proprietress was downstairs, and it took less than a minute to run up when she heard the noise.This idea was dispelled at the very beginning - the man outside the door came up from downstairs in the middle of the night and tried to open someone else's door, he must be passing in front of the proprietress, how could the boss not know?Maybe it's just a nest of snakes and rats, and if they can't run away at that time, it's bad to scare the snakes and be surrounded.

She backed away slowly. If she could hear the movement outside the house clearly, it meant that the sound insulation of the house was very poor, and she could be heard clearly outside.Fortunately, there is a carpet under the feet, which can absorb the sound to some extent.

She retreated to the bed, picked up the mobile phone placed by the bed and turned it to silent, planning to send a message to Bian Yuan before calling the police.After all, the nearest rescuer is not the police but Bian Yuan.

I found Bian Yuan's WeChat account from the company's WeChat group, and when she was about to send a message, she hesitated again.

Bian Yuan looked strong and reliable, but she was a girl after all, if something really attracted her, it might hurt her.

Better call the police.

When I pressed "110" and was about to connect, I heard the sound of footsteps going downstairs.

gone?

There was no peephole in this door, Xin Yitong opened the door a little and looked out, but there was no one there.

She quickly went out and knocked on Bian Yuan's door: "Bian Yuan! Bian Yuan!"

After a while, Bian Yuan came to open the door and looked at her sleepily: "What's wrong?"

"Someone was going to open the door to my room just now."

Bian Yuan immediately cheered up and pulled her into the room, glanced at the corridor and closed the door.

"Are you sure you're not drowsy?"

"I didn't sleep at all."

Bian Yuan asked, "Where is that person?"

"Let's go, go downstairs."

"Go downstairs?"

"Yes, that person is very courageous, maybe this store is also very problematic."

"It is possible that the boss himself committed the crime in such a remote place, but this is too bold..." Bian Yuan thought for a while and said, "You wait for me here."

Xin Yitong raised her throat: "Where are you going?"

"Go down and have a look."

"Just kidding... that man just went down."

"It's okay, you listen to me." Bian Yuan put on her coat, took something from the toolbox and hid it in the coat pocket, and left as soon as she said, "Lock the door, anyone who asks you to open the door except me and the police will be fine." Don't open."

Without giving Xin Yitong another chance to refute, Bian Yuan closed the door and left.

Xin Yitong really couldn't understand, this girl was no longer brave enough to describe her, if something happened to her, wouldn't she feel guilty for the rest of her life.

Anyway, call the police first!

Xin Yitong called quickly, and the police responded quickly after explaining the situation. They knew the location and said they would arrive within 10 minutes, and asked her to protect herself first.

The promise made by the police strengthened her courage. She walked slowly to the stairs to listen to the movement below. After hearing Bian Yuan's voice, she went downstairs quickly. She was about to face the bloody battle. A very consistent face with a smile.

Bian Yuan and the proprietress turned their heads at the same time, their faces beaming with joy.

Xin Yitong: "??"

"It's okay, excuse me, boss." Bian Yuan said.

"It's okay, our place is remote, and the little girl's house is really easy to be scared." The proprietress said to Xin Yitong who was still in a daze, "But although our house is a bit small and crude, what can I do if I stay here? Rest easy and sleep."

Bian Yuan whispered in her ear: "The person you mentioned is the boss's brother-in-law, who lives in the room next to yours on the second floor here. I was too drunk tonight and touched the wrong door. I just came down and said why the door is locked. The proprietress has already scolded him and asked him to drink some hangover tea first. He is not a gangster, Mr. Xin can sleep peacefully."

Bian Yuan said it lightly, the proprietress was still snickering, Xin Yitong blushed in spite of her calm face.

Sleeping in a strange small hotel in the middle of the night, someone sneakily opened the door outside, it is worth being afraid, okay?

The shame on his face hadn't passed yet, and another wave came.

When Yishui's uniformed policeman opened the door and entered, the proprietress was stunned.

"Who reported to the police?" The leading police comrade had a righteous look on his face, but he was a little sleepy.

"You called the police?" Bian Yuan asked Xin Yitong, "This is efficient enough."

Xin Yitong hurried forward to explain that everything was a misunderstanding.

……

The police checked the license of the express hotel by the way, and the proprietress hurriedly greeted her. Xin Yitong felt very sorry, so she didn't leave, and stayed with the proprietress.

After the police left, Xin Yitong went upstairs in silence, and when she was about to go back to her room, Bian Yuan stopped her.

"Otherwise, let's sleep together." Bian Yuan said.

Xin Yitong looked at her with some resentment: "You're making fun of me for being cowardly."

"Really not." Bian Yuan thought for a while and said, "Actually, I'm also quite nervous. Boss Xin came to accompany me to help me strengthen my courage. We can all sleep well."

sleep together?Why does this sound so familiar?

Definitely never slept with her.

No need to struggle to remember, the intersection of her and Bian Yuan is limited to work in the company, and other occasions are nothing more than attending various social activities and company annual meetings.In my impression, she and Bian Yuan are always far away from each other, leading their own teams, and even avoiding each other intentionally.This business trip can be regarded as a fantasy trip. It can tie the two of them, who are deadly enemies who have strangled each other when they meet, together for two days and one night. Now there is an extra night, and it is still a night that will never end.

Speaking of which, when and on what occasion would Bian Yuan issue such an invitation?

It's impossible not to remember, Xin Yitong rubbed his temples, he was really going to sleep, and if he didn't sleep, he really didn't know which universe he could go to.

Among the seven words of "boutique business big bed room", the word "big bed" is probably the only one that can be fulfilled.The bed is really big, even if it is two meters wide, there is a lot of room for it, and it is wide and long.Both of them are paper-shaped, and they may not be able to meet each other after tossing around on the sparsely populated bed.

Bian Yuan also thought the sheets were dirty and did not take off her clothes, so the two lay down separately, not to mention a row of bowls, even a row of pots would be suitable.

When Bian Yuan was lying down, she was rested by something, she got up with an "ouch", and took out a knife from her coat pocket.

Xin Yitong's heartbeat almost stopped.

"Don't be afraid, I brought it when I went down just now, but I forgot to take it out." Bian Yuan smiled embarrassedly, and put the knife under the pillow, "Is it safe to be with me? Go to sleep, I will call you tomorrow morning."

She never thought that Bian Yuan was this type of woman. She carried a flashlight and a knife with her, and went upstairs with her suitcase in one go. She was young but cared for others, which made people feel at ease. peace of mind.

Xin Yitong closed her eyes, there was a smell of rain in the jacket, and Bian Yuan's unique scent of inexhaustible perfume.

I hope I can sleep till dawn.

……

The sunlight penetrated through the thin curtains and shone on Xin Yitong's eyelids, waking her up.

When she woke up, she was sore. This time, it wasn't a dream, but a real day's work.

There was the sound of running water in the bathroom, the door was ajar, and half of Bian Yuan's body could be seen.

Xin Yitong blinked her sore eyes, and when she was about to get up, she found that she was covered with an extra cotton coat.

The room was damp and cold, and the sun could not save this icy area. Fortunately, this cotton coat protected her from sleeping all night, allowing her to sleep until dawn.

She folded the padded clothes and walked to the door of the bathroom. Bian Yuan had just finished washing, her long hair was coiled up to reveal her entire face, unexpectedly small, her skin without makeup was very delicate, it didn't look like she often ran to places without people at all outdoor enthusiasts.There is a freshly used facial mask in the trash can, and bottles of skin care products in the cosmetic bag are neatly arranged, all of which are their company's own products.

"Are you awake? Wait a minute, I'll be done soon." Bian Yuan wiped her hands after applying the cream evenly, and Xin Yitong's eyes fell on her tail ring again.

"You can use mine." Bian Yuan left all the skin care products, let go of her hair to comb her hair, "I bought the ticket, the high-speed rail at 09:30, I bought a second-class seat when there is no business class. Your luggage also I found it, and I asked my assistant Xiao Jiang to look for it, and the people at the station said that you have to get your ID to get it, so let’s get it when we get off the bus and go home directly.”

When Xin Yitong woke up, Bian Yuan actually finished everything, and everything was in order.

"But Xiao Jiang said..." Bian Yuan paused, but didn't finish, "It's okay, let's talk about it when we get to the city."

After checking out, I took a deposit and took a taxi to the high-speed rail station. When I arrived, there was still half an hour to check the ticket. The two sat in the empty waiting hall and casually watched the news on the big screen.

The news was rolling out a major news, and the two of them watched and their faces turned green together.

"This is... the high-speed train we took yesterday?" Xin Yitong couldn't blink, staring at the screen, afraid of missing every word.

"Car No. 7 is still the one we sat in." Bian Yuan took a deep breath, and Xin Yitong looked at the despairing and painful expressions of the family members of the deceased, feeling extremely terrified in her heart, and couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"Oh my god..." It's unbelievable.

"If you didn't listen to me and get out of the car, we might as well die."

"Stop it." She felt her stomach churning.

"When I called Xiao Jiang in the morning, she already told me about it. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be afraid. I didn't expect to see it here."

"How could you not tell me about such an important matter!"

"Anyway, we have already escaped, so it's not good to wait until we get back safely?"

Bian Yuan was very calm, perhaps because she already knew the shocking news and was mentally prepared, but Xin Yitong couldn't accept it for a while.She looked at the ticket gate, and there was no one in line.

Are they the only ones on this train?

A ticket inspector in overalls came to the entrance, and the indifferent eyes on his terribly thin blue face scanned the hall and landed on the two of them.It was as if the god of death had determined the next target, as if the whole world knew about the death conspiracy and stood by and waited for her and Bian Yuan to be sacrificed.

Ticket checking has started.

The ticket inspector called out, and Bian Yuan stood up to take her luggage into the station, but Xin Yitong grabbed her.

"Huh?" Bian Yuan turned her head.

"Mr. Bian..." Xin Yitong's face is not much prettier than that of the ticket inspector, "Is the high-speed rail really safe when this happened just now?" She spoke urgently, impatient to convince Bian Yuan, "Why? There will be terrorists raiding the high-speed rail? How do their weapons get through the security check? It's really scary."

Bian Yuan nodded and said, "Perhaps it's safe. After all, this kind of thing happened just now. Since this train can still depart normally, it means that the relevant departments have taken all necessary measures."

"Yes, the security work must be stricter than before for a period of time after this kind of thing happened." Xin Yitong insisted, "But, what if?"

The two of them stared at each other silently, neither of them moved.

The decision to travel hastily, leaving the city is easy, but the journey home seems extremely difficult and long.

They were clearly moving forward, why did Xin Yitong feel that she was lost for a long time, wandering in place countless times?

The only commercial center in Sekou, a row of new cars lined up at the entrance of the bottom store.

"Come on, this is the one."

The little brother in the gray hat held a list with a pen clipped to his ears, and led them to a Buick: "New car, full of gas, let's make sure, there is a scratch on the front of the car, everything else is fine. You guys Who's driving?"
