Why do you bring disasters wherever you go; why do your friends end up like this?

Why is everything around me so dark.

She couldn't see the slightest light.

Lin Anqiao called Yang Xi while running to another city.She only knew that Yang Xi lived in Xibei District, but she didn't know exactly where she lived in Xibei District.Yang Xi is a girl with strong self-esteem, she never tells Lin Anqiao the address of her home, because it is a place that can no longer be poor.Because Lin Anqiao was also a reasonable master, she seemed to have made an appointment and never asked Yang Xi any questions about the family.

But now, Lin Anqiao regrets her carelessness in not being able to find out Yang Xi's address.Yang Xi, please answer the phone quickly, Lin Anqiao prayed silently, speeding up her pace as much as she could while holding her phone.

Lin Anqiao felt her legs tremble after the desperate and official female voice said "the call you dialed is temporarily unanswered".Could it be that the killer moved so fast?Thinking of the iron face of the killer Lin Wenlong usually hired, Lin Anqiao felt his whole body go limp.Feeling hopeless, she even slowed down unconsciously.

No, Yang Xi will definitely not die so soon.Good people are rewarded with good, and evil people are rewarded with evil, Lin Anqiao firmly believes in this.

Suddenly, Lin Anqiao thought, it's winter vacation now, is Yang Xi working part-time in Shangri-La?When working part-time, be sure to lock your mobile phone in the employee cabinet.A spark of hope suddenly ignited in her heart.According to Yang Xi's character, he will desperately work hard before the debt is paid off.

Lin Anqiao felt that his legs were injected with energy again, made a sharp turn, and sprinted towards the Shangri-La Hotel.Although he ran at a very fast speed for almost 10 minutes just now, Lin Anqiao has now accelerated his speed due to years of physical training and anxiety.

Every step is like a step closer to the end.Even though he knew that the chance of finding Yang Xi by chance was slim, Lin Anqiao still wanted to search like crazy.

The bustling streets are still full of traffic, the traffic lights are still alternating like the four seasons, and everything is as usual.Pedestrians on the road were expressionless, wearing heavy windbreakers, and hurried in the haze of cold wind.No one knew about this impending tragedy, and no one cared.

Lin Anqiao didn't even remember how she rushed into the hotel and surprised the receptionist at the front desk.Lin Anqiao's face was highly recognizable, so the hostess glanced sideways and immediately stood up.

"Vice President?" Seeing Lin Anqiao's anxious and fierce expression, the hostess was really terrified.Usually, Lin Anqiao is busy with her studies. Although she has the title of vice president, she rarely drives the hotel in person.

Lin Anqiao struggled to support the marble slab at the front desk with one hand, gasped for breath, and asked with wide eyes, "Where is Yang Xi?"

With trembling hands, the hostess opened the register of service personnel without delay.Although Lin Anqiao is young, he has a good reputation in commercial underworld boxing, and in the eyes of others, his deterrent power is no less than that of Lin Wenlong.

"She, she..." The hostess managed to focus her eyes on a certain column in the brochure, but her lips were trembling.

"Where is she?" Lin Anqiao was extremely impatient at this moment, raised her eyebrows, and couldn't help but yelled.

"She's in the buffet hall on the fourth floor." The hostess didn't dare to look at Lin Anqiao directly, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

As soon as Lin Anqiao got the answer, he ran towards the stairs.Because at this moment, even taking the elevator seems like a snail crawling.In the end, just in case, Lin Anqiao turned around and said viciously to the hostess: "Anyone who asks later will say that Yang Xi has left."

Lin Anqiao felt a little out of breath going up the stairs because of running fast for a long time.She was tired, her legs were sore, but it all seemed worth it.She ran out of the stairwell and headed straight for the cafeteria.

Ms. Lin at the cashier at the entrance of the restaurant has never seen Lin Anqiao's real face, so when she saw Lin Anqiao running towards here in school uniform, she wanted to stop her with her hand: "Hey, pay the money first..."

Lin Anqiao didn't even look at Miss Lin, and rushed in violently.Miss Lin panicked and shouted the security guard's name.But when the security guard rushed over and saw Lin Anqiao's figure, he immediately went back the same way.The boss's son, who dares to stop him?What's more, Lin Anqiao may not be able to beat Lin Anqiao in a fight, let alone stop him.

The gentlemen and ladies who were eating quietly in the restaurant saw such a student-like young lady rushing in suddenly, and all focused their eyes on Lin Anqiao.Their eyes looked like they were watching a play.

Regardless of other people's stares, Lin Anqiao ran over as if sprinting [-] meters after seeing Yang Xi's figure, and grabbed Yang Xi who was about to set the plate.

Yang Xi's arm was so painful that he frowned and looked at the person beside him suspiciously.After discovering that it was Lin Anqiao, Yang Xi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you doing?"

Panting for breath, Lin Anqiao tremblingly said, "Follow me."

"I haven't finished work yet, wait a minute." Yang Xi shook his head puzzled.

"I can't explain it to you now, just hurry up and follow me." Lin Anqiao pulled Yang Xi harder, making Yang Xi's center of gravity unstable and almost fell.

Yang Xi originally wanted to shake off Lin Anqiao's hand, but when he saw Lin Anqiao's unexpectedly disobedient and panicked expression, he knew that something serious must have happened.Moreover, this important event must be urgent and urgent.Yang Xi is not an overly rigid and unreasonable person, so she immediately put down her hand and just picked up the plate.Absenteeism is absenteeism, if there is any serious matter.

Therefore, Yang Xi didn't say anything more, and immediately followed Lin Anqiao out of the restaurant.

"I'm going to get my things, soon." Yang Xi said inquiringly while running.

"It's too late, I'll pay you in the worst case." Lin Anqiao immediately vetoed it forcefully, and turned into a secluded stairwell.

Seeing that Lin Anqiao chose the stairs, Yang Xi was even more convinced that something serious had happened.Anyway, the mobile phone is locked in the staff cabinet, generally speaking, there is no problem, and it is okay to take it next time, Yang Xi thought.

They rushed out of the Shangri-La Hotel.Along the way, Lin Anqiao desperately tugged on Yang Xi's hand, making Yang Xi's hand red and swollen, but didn't say a word.Yang Xi followed Lin Anqiao with all his strength, but still felt powerless, after all Lin Anqiao had long hands and legs and good physical strength.

Yang Xi could probably tell that Lin Anqiao wanted to take her back to her home.Although Yang Xi still felt very puzzled and his heart was full of question marks, he still obediently followed Lin Anqiao and ran away.Moreover, while running on the road, Yang Xi could clearly feel Lin Anqiao's eyes moving left and right from time to time, as if he was avoiding something in fear.

It won't take long after passing Luoxi to arrive at Lin Anqiao's house, and Yang Xi, who was almost dying of running, finally sees some hope.The cold wind on the Luoxi River made Yangxi's dry skin ache.

When turning a corner, Yang Xi suddenly saw about five or six tall men in black standing vaguely in the distance, each of them was as strong as a gangster bodyguard described in a novel.Yang Xi felt his left eyelid start to twitch again, just like the day grandma entered the hospital.

Lin Anqiao also stopped abruptly as if frightened, her face turned pale.She was holding Yang Xi's hand so tightly that even her nails could be embedded in the flesh, and her palm was sweating unceasingly.The men in black clearly saw Lin Anqiao and Yang Xi, and immediately rushed over like eagles who had spotted their prey.

Lin Anqiao quickly glanced at the waists of the men in black, and found that there were no guns with them.

That's right, in China where guns are banned, even the most powerful gangsters have difficulty getting guns, not to mention that they have no time to prepare guns in such a short period of time, so Lin Anqiao feels a little relieved.

"Run." Lin Anqiao led Yang Xi around like a whirlwind, and ran back.She just wished she could go a little faster and hide in a small shop without being noticed.Most of those people were just deceived by the hostess at the front desk, and they were divided into several groups to search for Yang Xi in the whole Luoxi City.

Lin Anqiao's heart beat faster and faster.She didn't know if there would be more hidden killers ahead.Not only the man in black, but even any person in plain clothes may be a dark thread planted by his father.

But Lin Anqiao and Yang Xi are girls after all, and they have been running for so long, their physical strength is gradually failing.Lin Anqiao felt that his lungs were about to burst, so he could only stop with Yang Xi.Yang Xi's face was also flushed at this time, he couldn't stop panting, and his legs were shaking.

Lin Anqiao gritted her teeth, turned and looked behind.Sure enough, the group of men in black chased after them.A group of strong and big men, it is easy to catch up with them.Now it seems that since it will be useless to escape no matter how hard you try, you can only bite the bullet and go forward.

"Master Lin, hand over that little girl, and we won't hurt you." One of the men with a dragon tattooed on his neck said in a rough voice.Pedestrians on the street screamed in fright when they saw such a group of suspected gangsters, and ran away long ago.Now, only Lin Anqiao, Yang Xi, and a few killers on the empty street were on the street.

"I don't want her to die." Lin Anqiao clenched her fists, raised her head slightly, and shouted in a rough voice.

The man with the dragon tattoo sneered helplessly, and took out a shining knife: "We also want to listen to you, not to kill that girl, but now our boss is Boss Lin. He said, as long as we don't take your Life, at all costs to kill that girl named Yang Xi."

Yang Xi, who was behind Lin Anqiao, felt inexplicable fear in his heart after hearing this sentence, but he didn't understand what he did wrong.Yang Xi frowned, his eyes widened, and he looked blankly at the tall black-clothed killer on the opposite side.Lin Anqiao noticed Yang Xi's psychological changes, and patted Yang Xi's hand lightly in a reassuring manner.

After hearing these words, Lin Anqiao looked at the gray-blue sky with hollow eyes and confusion.He gave a nervous smile, then let go of Yang Xi's hand suddenly, and took a step forward.

"Then come." Lin Anqiao's deep voice showed no signs of trembling, which was completely different from his pale face.
