The elevator quickly reached the eighth floor. After getting off the elevator, Annie didn't directly open the door with the key. Instead, she put her ear on the door panel and listened carefully to the sounds inside.

It's a pity that the door panels are too thick and you can't hear anything.

Annie retreated into the corridor, closed the iron door, and dialed Joey's number.The phone is still turned off. It seems that this time, Joey is determined not to let others find her.

The phone vibrated, Annie picked up the phone, and saw a text message, "If you want to save Joey, come to Rencheng Hotel on Zhaolin Road, 201."

It is an unknown number, and the sender is unknown.

Anne replied, "Who are you?"

Anne would not leave here without knowing the identity of the other party. She was afraid that this was Joey's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

Thinking of this, Annie sent another text message, "If you don't answer, I won't go there."

It took a long time before Annie received a message from there, "I'm Kaisen, come here, and I'll help you save Joey."

Kaisen was able to send a message, which means that he is in China at this time, and he has not gone abroad to spend the New Year with his parents as in the report.

Annie, "It's not convenient for me to leave now, can I talk on the phone?"

Kaisen, "Don't worry, I know Joey's plan, she will be fine today, Anne, trust me, I will not harm Joey."

Annie thought about it and agreed to Kaisen.

She went to Kaisen, no matter whether she could help Joey or not, at least she could know what Joey's plan was, which was better than not knowing anything here and just focusing on wandering around.

When walking out of the community, Annie saw several police cars patrolling.When suspicious people pass by, the police car will stop, and the police sitting inside will get out of the car and ask questions.

However, she observed and found that the police only questioned men, and rarely questioned passing women.

Joey still had a chance to bring Liang Kai out of the house, but she didn't know which way she would choose.

Zhaolin Road is in the eastern suburbs, not far from Xicheng District. The location is relatively remote, and there are few vehicles passing by.

After getting off the taxi, Annie walked along Zhaolin Street and found Rencheng Hotel.

It is said to be a hotel, but it is actually a hotel, with a price list posted on the glass door covered with fog.The price of the hotel is cheap, and most of the people who come here to stay here have just visited the massage parlor next door and need to find a place to do business.

Looking at the dilapidated and old environment around her, Annie frowned. In her impression, Kaisen was the kind of person who was very particular about basic necessities of life.Big stars, every time they make a glamorous appearance in front of the camera, no matter how they think about it, it is impossible for them to appear in such a cheap place.

Next to the hotel, there was a fruit shop. Annie went in and bought some fruits. At the checkout, she bought a fruit knife from the boss and said she wanted to cut the fruits.

After leaving the fruit shop, Annie took out the knife and touched the blade with her fingertips.The blade is very sharp, and there is a slight burr where the finger belly touches, so self-defense should not be a problem.

There were not many guests in the hotel, and the proprietress was sitting on the counter playing with her mobile phone. When she heard someone pushing the door in, she raised her eyelids and asked Annie, "Stay in the hotel?"

Annie shook her head, "Look for someone."

"Oh." The proprietress responded, lowered her head and continued to play with her mobile phone, ignoring Annie.

Annie took a few steps forward and saw the stairs.She went up the stairs and down the corridor to room 201.

Annie sent Kayson a text, telling Kayson that she was outside and asking Kayson to open the door.

The sound insulation of the hotel is not good, the sound of chatting, the noise from the TV, and the boring voices of men and women, through the wooden walls, poured into Annie's ears.

The door was opened a small crack, and Kaisen's voice came from the crack, "Come in."

Kaisen's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of being discovered by others.

The fruit knife was placed close to her body. When she entered the door, Anne kept holding the handle of the knife in case someone suddenly attacked her.

This is her habit when she travels abroad. She never expected that after returning to Bingcheng, she would still need to act so cautiously to beware of anyone who might harbor ill intentions towards her.

The door was closed quickly, Kaisen took off the black mask on his face, and asked Annie to sit down.

The room was small, with a small chair next to the single bed.Annie sat on the chair and put the fruit bag on the bed.

"Did you buy the fruit for me?" Kaisen sat down next to the bed, smiled, and said to Anne, "Thank you."

The last time Annie saw Kaisen was in the dressing room of the TV station. Kaisen was wearing a bright costume, sitting on the sofa, and threw her a leather bag full of banknotes, telling her to go away.

At that time, Kaisen, with cold eyes and fierce tone, seemed to be at odds with her.

The current Kaisen is very different from that time. He is wearing an old T-shirt and a pair of washed-white jeans, and his bangs cover his eyebrows with too little time to cut short. He looks like a childish middle school student.

Annie, "Can you save Joey?"

Kaysen nodded.

Annie, "How can I help?"

Her tone was a little urgent, she was afraid that the police would catch Joey, and that Liang Kai's life was in danger.

Kaisen was very calm, "Don't worry, it's not Liang Kai who Joey wants to kill."

Annie, "Is it Liang Kai's father?"

Liang Kai's father's age, pushed back 15 years, could barely be connected with the orphanage.

Kaisen shook his head, "It's his grandfather."

Annie didn't speak any more, and waited quietly for Kaisen to explain.

Kaisen asked Annie, "Do you still remember the director of the orphanage?"

Annie nodded, a kind-hearted woman, relying on her own strength, struggling to support the orphanage.

She is a good person, but her husband is not.

Annie asked Kaisen, "Is Liang Kai's grandfather the dean's husband?"

"After he heard that his grandson was kidnapped, he fainted from anxiety and was sent to the hospital. He has not yet been discharged from the hospital." Kaisen curled the corner of his mouth with a sneer on his face, "Tell me, would he want to keep his grandson life, and choose to commit suicide?"

Then, I asked myself and answered, "It should be possible, after all, he is a grandson."

On the window sill of the room, there is an alarm clock with a plastic case and a duckling shape.Annie sat on the chair and could clearly hear the sound of the pointer moving forward one by one.The voice seemed to remind her that time was running out and she should find Joey quickly.

Kaisen saw Anne's anxious mood, and he said softly to Anne: "Don't worry, there is still time. I said I would save Joey, and I will definitely do what I said."

Annie, "How are you going to save her?"

Kaisen, "What do you say?"

The only way to save Joey right now is to help Joey take the blame. If Kaisen is the mastermind of the whole case, then Joey is at most an accomplice. In addition, Joey is pregnant, so the crime is definitely not serious.

Annie asked Kaisen, "You planned the revenge plan?"

Kaisen shook his head, "No, I have not participated in the whole case."

"Then how do you help her cover the crime? The police are not fools. A little investigation will reveal that you are lying." Annie paused, and said to Kaisen: "It will take time to collude a confession. The most urgent task now is to find Joey."

After finding Joey, we can discuss the details.

Annie's thinking couldn't help following Kaisen's words, but the more she thought about it, the more wrong she became.Annie took a deep breath, calmed down, and focused on Joey, "If Joey stops now, the police may not necessarily suspect her. She can leave Ice City, go to another place, disappear, and start afresh. start."

There is no need to take the blame, no need for anyone's sacrifice, those beasts deserve what they deserve, what happened back then is over, there is no need to bring two more people into it.

"I also persuaded Joey to leave, but she refused to leave." Kaisen said, "Besides, so what if you leave. You may think that the matter is over, but we don't think so."

"You" and "we", three simple words, like a gap, lay in front of Anne.There was her on one side, and Joey and Kayson on the other.

"We are one, and I have been hurt as much as you have been hurt." Anne didn't like the way Kaisen spoke, as if she was an outsider.

When Joey encountered something, she was more anxious than anyone else. She defended Joey everywhere, racked her brains to find a way, and put herself in Joey's shoes to find a way. She even began to regret that she shouldn't have left the ice city five years ago. , but should stay by Joey's side, guarding Joey every step of the way.

But in the end, she was like a child who was excluded from the small group, wandering around like a headless chicken, anxious but unable to think of any solution.

"You are with Wu Si now." Kaisen turned the topic to Wu Si, "Joy said that Wu Si is Teacher Wu's daughter."

Annie stared at Kaisen with some vigilance. Things were already messed up, and she didn't want to involve Wu Si again.

Kaysen, "Those things went on for almost a year, right?"

Annie nodded. She was seven years old and Joey was eight years old.

Kaisen, "How long did Teacher Wu stay in the orphanage? One month or two months?"

Annie shook her head. In her memory, from Teacher Wu's arrival at the orphanage to the fire broke out, the distance was very close, as if it happened in an instant.

During that time, the villains in the orphanage refrained from harming them because of the arrival of outsiders.Comfortable days always pass very quickly.

"I remember it was a little over a month." Kaisen's tone was always light, as if he was talking about something unimportant, "Compared with a year or a month, which one is longer?"

Of course it was a year. Annie didn't know what Kaisen was going to say, so she could only look at him quietly.

"Ms. Wu came to the orphanage for a month. She spent all her savings for our food and clothing, and even gave each of us a name. She is a good person, and we should thank her." Kaisen clenched his fists and punched hard The bed board, "But the person we should be more grateful to is Joey."
