The paranoid milk dog is actually me

"Do you want your tiramisu and fruit loaf to be taken away or eaten?" The waiter at the dessert shop took the receipt from Xie Anheng.

The young man has a superior figure, outstanding appearance, and a high-tailored suit. Even in such a CBD where business people come and go, he can still attract the attention of many people.

His expression was cold, and he seemed to have an icy aura in the small shop with the heating on, no one dared to strike up a conversation.

Xie Anheng glanced at his watch: "Take your bag away, you only need one set of tableware."

Waiter: "Okay, the points on your membership card can already be exchanged for a drink with us. Would you like to redeem them together today? The points will be cleared at the end of the year."

"What drinks do you have?" Xie Anheng almost forgot that he still had a membership card.

Although he often came to buy it, he hadn't had the habit of managing these cards and points for a long time. It seemed that Xie Xingzhi had applied for this card a year ago.

The waiter smiled and pointed to the menu board hanging on the right wall: "All the drinks in this row are available."

Xie Anheng glanced at the taste that Xie Xingzhi would like: "Let's have some poplar nectar."

"Okay, it will take about 5 minutes to make, please wait for a while."

By the time he bought all the desserts and drinks and returned to the company, nearly twenty minutes had passed.

As soon as Xie Anheng entered the door, he saw the special guard he arranged for Xie Xingzhi rushing towards him, as if very surprised: "Mr. Xie... isn't Mr. Xie Xingzhi with you?"

"No." Xie Anheng frowned slightly, "Isn't he in the office?"

The lobby manager from just now hurried over: "Mr. Xie Xingzhi asked us about your whereabouts just now, and we told him that you were at the dessert shop. He seemed to be looking for you."

"Huh?" Seeing the special guard, the lobby manager looked him up and down, and said in surprise, "This is the one who pushed Mr. Xie Xingzhi out just now...why, why are you here again?"

"What?" The special guard was also dumbfounded, "Mr. Xie Xingzhi didn't let me enter the top floor office, I was sitting in the lounge on the top floor, I accidentally took a nap just now, when I came out, I saw that the lights in the office had been turned off."

"I went downstairs in a hurry... Then I ran into you. I didn't see Mr. Xie Xingzhi at all, and I didn't push him to go to any dessert shop."

Xie Anheng strode to the front desk and put down the three desserts, took out his phone and dialed Xie Xingzhi's number.

[Sorry, the phone you dialed is turned off, please wait...]

His complexion immediately sank, he turned around and strode towards the monitoring room.

The lobby manager quickly followed behind him.

A group of people pushed the door open, and the president of the company stood at the front, startling the two security guards who were idle chatting in the monitoring room.

Xie Anheng didn't want to talk nonsense: "Half an hour ago, the surveillance outside the corridor of the office on the top floor, as well as the surveillance video of the lobby and the entrance on the first floor, let me watch it."

His face was frighteningly stern. The security guard put on his earphones and quickly operated the computer.

The surveillance video he was looking for was quickly displayed on the screen. There was no one in the corridor. Two minutes later, the little assistant came out.

A few minutes later, Xie Xingzhi pushed the wheelchair and pressed the elevator.

"Change to the lobby on the first floor."

"Yes."

The surveillance video on the first floor is even simpler. Sitting in the corner of the sofa is a person dressed exactly like the special guard around them.

Everyone in the monitoring room couldn't help feeling chills down their spines, and looked back at the special guard.

"It's not me, Mr. Xie, this is really not me, you can watch the surveillance in the lounge, I haven't gone downstairs yet." The special guard looked terrified.

Xie Anheng waved his hand to signal him to be quiet: "Stop here and zoom in on this picture."

The image on the monitor was not so clear after zooming in, but it was still vaguely visible that the man with his head down had a sharp and long chin, obviously not the same person as the special guard beside them.

"Keep playing." Xie Anheng's eyes turned colder.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Xingzhi came out of the elevator, and the man disguised as a special guard stepped forward to push his wheelchair to go out the door.

The five fingers on Xie Anheng's side tightened.

The surveillance video finally stopped when Xie Xingzhi was pushed to the corner of the street by this strange man. That location was a dead corner of the surveillance, and it was impossible to know what happened next.

Such an important person made a mistake right under their noses, and a needle could be heard in the monitoring room for a while, and no one dared to vent their anger.

Xie Anheng raised his hand to push them away, stood at the door and dialed Zhao Zhiyin's phone.

The other party didn't know what they were doing, so they rang for a long time before answering, with a lazy voice: "Hello?"

Xie Anheng said concisely: "The company will see me in 10 minutes."

Zhao Zhiyin paused: "What happened?"

Xie Anheng lowered his eyelashes and lowered the corners of his lips: "Xie Xingzhi was taken away."

There was a strange call from the other end of the phone.

"What?! You little bastard...you can't protect it well in your hands..."

Xie Anheng frowned: "Who?"

"No one, I'll come right away." The voice disappeared immediately, and Zhao Zhiyin coughed lightly, "Where is the police? Do you want to know?"

After he finished speaking, another text message popped up on Xie Anheng's phone.

An unknown number, sent an address, and told him to go alone.

He put down the phone, put it back to his ear after only one glance, took out the car keys, and walked towards the darkness at the end of the corridor: "You can just come here, I'll take care of other things."

When Xie Xingzhi woke up, the pain in the back of his neck hadn't completely dissipated.

He wanted to raise his hand to touch it, but found that he couldn't move his arm. He looked down and saw that his body was tied with a rope.

"you're awake."

There was a hoarse voice in front of him, and he coughed and panted a few times after speaking.

He looked for fame.

Mrs. Shi was leaning on the wheelchair, tremblingly putting down the teacup in her hand.

"The old lady's way of inviting people to meet is really unique." Xie Xingzhi had expected that the Shi family would not let it go, and was not too surprised by the scene before him.

Old Mrs. Shi snorted secretly: "Then Xie Anheng has protected you perfectly, I'm afraid you won't be able to see Mr. Xie by ordinary means."

"You invited me in this way, not just to let me watch you drink tea, but to say a few words by the way, right?" Xie Xingzhi lowered his head and tried to move. The rope was tied tightly, and his hands were still behind his back. There is almost no room for struggle.

"You don't have to think about escaping. Since I dare to bring you here in this way, I'm fully prepared."

Mrs. Shi slowly turned the wheelchair, facing Xie Xingzhi.

"You also know the current situation of my Shi family. Mr. Xie still doesn't have to play charades with me. You know why I brought you here."

"The old lady was joking." Xie Xingzhi twitched the corner of his mouth.

Being kidnapped by her, he was naturally angry, but after all, he had seen strong winds and waves, and saved his life from death, so he didn't care about such a small threat.

"I just came back from abroad and got into a car accident again. I was invited here by you before I had time to understand the situation in China... As for the situation of Shi's family, you should discuss it with Xie Anheng no matter what you say."

Xie Xingzhi slightly relaxed his tense muscles, trying to relieve the pain, and by the way, continued to play word games with her to delay time, so as to get a clearer picture of his situation.

Mrs. Shi smiled when she heard what he said, with a hint of sarcasm: "I invited you here because I want to find Xie Anheng."

"..." Xie Xingzhi met her long and narrow eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

"What?" Mrs. Shi was surprised, turned the wheelchair with her withered fingers, and approached Xie Xingzhi, "Could it be...he hasn't expressed his heart to you yet?"

Xie Xingzhi's complexion changed: "What do you mean?"

"You still don't know?" Mrs. Shi stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled, "Stop pretending to be confused, hmph, I, an outsider, can see the way he looks at you at a glance." I understand, during the few days in the Xia family's old house, you and him faced each other day and night, how could you not know?"

"..."

Why does everyone think that something happened between him and Xie Anheng in the Xia family's old house?

The other party said this, Xie Xingzhi could only say: "So what if you know? This is between me and him."

After she finished laughing, she coughed violently: "Originally it was just a matter between you and him, but if you want to blame it, you can blame him for being like his shameless mother. Dou Da's head only pretends to be love all day long. Stupid as hell!"

Hearing her mention Xie Anheng and his mother Guan Ruoling so contemptuously, Xie Xingzhi immediately tightened the corners of his mouth.

"I don't think there's anything to be ridiculed about pursuing what you love."

"Pursue what you love? Then Guan Ruoling, a little star who makes a living by laughing, wants to fly on a branch and become a phoenix. If she wants to compare with my Yaoyao, is she worthy? It would be a good thing for her to die in that drunkard's house." It's home." Mrs. Shi returned to her wheelchair.

"It's you?" Xie Xingzhi tightened his lips, "You were the one who asked Guan Ruoling to join Xie Weimao."

He didn't use any questions, and the facts proved that he guessed right.

Mrs. Shi raised her lips contemptuously: "That kind of stupid woman who only has superficial appearance, I just pointed out a way for her from the sidelines, what she does is her own choice, and has nothing to do with me."

Xie Xingzhi has always been mild-tempered, but at this time he was inevitably extremely angry.

As a human being in two lives, if he has any regrets, the only one he has is his mother, Guan Ruoling.

Whether in his previous life or in this life, Xie Xingzhi failed to change his mother's fate, the only thing he could do was to wash away her grievances.

But after a brief moment of anger, Xie Xingzhi calmed down again: "No matter how you whitewash, your daughter Shi Yao is a third party, and this matter cannot be changed."

A selfish person like Mrs. Shi only has her own and her family's interests in her eyes.

This kind of person's way of thinking is different from their ordinary people. It doesn't make any sense to reason with her. It would be more refreshing to poke her sore spot directly.

Sure enough, as he expected, Mrs. Shi's eyes suddenly widened: "The third party? My Yaoyao comes from a famous family, and someone who wants to marry my Shi family has stepped through the threshold!"

"But she still married the scum you mentioned, didn't she?" Xie Xingzhi said indifferently, "And it was after Guan Ruoling was pregnant with Xie Anheng."

This incident was obviously a knot in Mrs. Shi's heart. Her chest heaved violently a few times, and she glared at Xie Xingzhi: "Guan Ruoling shouldn't have existed! Yaoyao was also deceived by his sweet words when she married Xia Jinghui."

Xie Xingzhi scoffed: "Shi Yao will be deceived. Could it be that even you can't see who Xia Jinghui is? You covet the financial resources of the company behind him, and you think that his son-in-law won't compete with you for power and profit, which led to all this It's just your greed."

"What do you know?" Mrs. Shi was enraged by him.

"I shouldn't have let them die in the first place." Her voice was sharp, "I should have let that bastard Xie Anheng die in the mud ditch with Guan Ruoling!"

"And you." She pointed at Xie Xingzhi, "You meddle in other people's business, but you want to adopt him... Do you think those few small companies you built can protect him? Destroying you young people, is better than crushing him." It's easy to kill an ant."

Xie Xingzhi's expression froze, and he turned his head to look at Mrs. Shi again.

The other party was in a fit of anger. Seeing his expression, the expression that was on the verge of madness just now finally restrained a little: "It doesn't feel good to be excluded and slandered by the whole circle, right?"

Xie Xingzhi: "It's not Xia Jinghui who spread the rumors?"

"Xia Jinghui?" Mrs. Shi snorted coldly, "You really don't think much of me. With his brains, he's just a dog to be used by others."

"It's a pity that he is still complacent and thinks this move is perfect." Mrs. Shi laughed, "Slandering and spreading rumors are indeed Xia Jinghui's best low-handed methods, but you should rely on his ability alone. Affecting the upper circles of the entire Manbei City?"

"..."

Mrs. Shi was behind the rumors, no wonder it spread so quickly in just a few months, and everyone in Beibei city knew about it.

"You went away and enjoyed a year of leisure abroad, and Xie Anheng stayed in China and endured the much-criticized pain for you." Mrs. Shi also thought of it with him, "I just watched him exhausting himself to clarify those rumors , but in the end it is still helpless, it is really very satisfying."

"I heard that the two of you brothers have argued many times over this. Do you think he is spreading rumors and even blaming him?"

Mrs. Shi looked at him mockingly.

Xie Xingzhi told himself not to be irritated by her again: "I didn't understand the situation when I first came back, and I had a misunderstanding with him. But I don't want to trouble you, old man, I have already made it clear with the rumors."

Mrs. Shi seemed to have never heard of his words: "Really, make it clear? Being misunderstood by my beloved, I can imagine what kind of expression he will have on his face... Pain, struggle, hahaha , like his mother..."

"Feed on love, and you can't live without love. Such a person is destined to die in the hands of love." Mrs. Shi's long and narrow eyes drooped, "But that car accident didn't kill you. It was beyond my expectation, I had hoped that if you died, he would go with you, lest I do anything."

"You should be glad that I didn't die. If I die, he will just drag all of you to be buried with me. You won't have the chance to speak to me in front of me today." Xie Xingzhi said.

"Huh, what a big tone, do you think he can really have monstrous abilities? Don't you also let you fall into my hands." Mrs. Shi turned her head, "Bastards are bastards. People like Guan Ruoling, the sons born are really good. Not inferior at all, falling in love with the elder brother who raised him...you don't feel sick at all."

"Disgusting? He and I are no longer brothers, besides, someone really loves me, why should I feel disgusting?" Xie Xingzhi kept his eyes on him, "Maybe the old lady thinks this way, probably because she has never experienced being truly trusted by others. Wait, does it feel like protecting each other with your life?"

Mrs. Shi's eyes opened, her lips trembled, and the person who was talking non-stop just now was blocked by him.

Xie Xingzhi immediately understood that he guessed right.

He recalled the few words Xia Jiayu unintentionally revealed in Xia's old house, and quickly thought: "But I guess the old lady should also be a person who values ​​love and righteousness, otherwise she would not risk her life to keep your husband's family. under these properties."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Shi's eyes trembled violently, "Who told you this?!"

"It doesn't matter who it is." Xie Xingzhi sneered at her, "You laugh at Xie Anheng and his mother, why aren't you trapped by love?"

Mrs. Shi turned her wheelchair and approached him vigorously: "I tell you to shut up!"

Xie Xingzhi was unmoved, and quickly said: "Xie Anheng has the courage to pursue me, and Guan Ruoling just meets people in a bad manner. They all dare to express their love openly. I don't think there is anything ridiculous about it, but you."

"You have spent most of your life in vain, waiting until the person is no longer there, and then live in regret for the rest of your life, pretending to be affectionate and moving yourself, what's the point?"

"You!" Mrs. Shi stared at him for a long time, her hands trembling, "What do you know...you don't know anything at all..."

Her expression suddenly became crazy again, she muttered to herself for a few seconds, then looked up again.

"You want to piss me off, it's good or bad for my plan...it's not that easy."

After she finished speaking, she raised her dry hand, pinched Xie Xingzhi's chin, or made him raise his head to face her, and then tapped Xie Xingzhi's injured leg with the crutch in her hand.

"He swallowed almost [-]% of my property, and he regards you as his heart and soul. He can live and die for you. How can I let you go back safe and sound..."

"Xie Anheng wants my Shi family's property and wants to take my life, so I will also take the person he cares about the most." Mrs. Shi's sallow and thin face suddenly approached, "Mr. Right?"

Xie Xingzhi didn't evade, and looked at her indifferently: "No matter how he treats me, you have no chance of winning this match. If you hurt me, the Shi family will only incur his crazier revenge."

"Hmph! Not necessarily."

Xie Xingzhi thought Mrs. Shi was going to poke down the crutches to torture him, but she didn't, instead she pulled her thin lips.

"I won't hurt you, but guess what, if I ask him to exchange his life for you, will he agree?"

Xie Xingzhi's heart sank.

Seeing the change in his expression, Mrs. Shi smiled lightly: "Mr. Xie will wait and see, your life is in my hands, who is the one who has no chance of winning?"

She won the round, and didn't stay any longer, twisting the wheelchair, she was about to leave.

The door opened, Xie Xingzhi saw that it was a suite, and the sea was outside the balcony.

They were on the edge of a cliff against an embankment.

Manbei City is located at the intersection of rivers and seas, but most of them are low and flat shoals, only in the north there is a high-lying seaside, and there is also an old villa area there.

In just a few seconds, Xie Xingzhi confirmed his location.

Fortunately, it's not too much trouble since it's not out of the market.

The sea breeze in the evening brought the chill directly into the room.

There were a few bodyguards guarding the door, and it seemed that they didn't intend to come in.

"No one can pass through this door. If you let him escape, you will know the consequences." Mrs. Shi obviously suppressed her anger. After giving this sentence, she left immediately without waiting for the bodyguard to answer.

The bodyguard took a look at Xie Xingzhi who was tied up, then swept at his obviously immobile legs, and closed the door quite contemptuously.

With a "click", the room returned to silence.

After Mrs. Shi left, no one came in the room, and I don't know how long it has passed.

There was a small window not far from where he was sitting, barely able to let in the light, Xie Xingzhi judged that it was probably early morning.

He didn't eat or drink for a whole night, and was tied to a chair and had to keep the same sitting position. Xie Xingzhi only felt sore back and his throat was full of smoke.

Most of the wounds on his legs were bumped during the process of being brought, and he has been in pain ever since he woke up.

Even knowing that his leg was injured and he couldn't move at all, Mrs. Shi didn't take it lightly, and tied his two ankles together.

And the binding posture pulled the joints and bones, exacerbating the pain. After a long time, this pain spread from the leg bones to the whole body, and even made his brain feel uncomfortable.

Xie Xingzhi could only droop his head and half-close his eyes to preserve his strength.

At this time, Xie Xingzhi suddenly understood what it was like to be a prisoner.

There is no harm if there is no comparison. Although the time when Xie Anheng took him back to Xia's house was not smooth, at least the experience in daily life is not bad, even worse than that of a high-end five-star hotel.

Now that it falls into the hands of those who really want his life, not to mention comfortable food and clothing, I am afraid that as long as he can still breathe, it will be good.

Suddenly, Xie Xingzhi heard a few crickets chirping.

At first, he didn't think it was wrong, but the cry sounded for a few seconds, and he woke up suddenly.

On such a cold day, where are the crickets on the edge of the cliff near the sea?

"Xia Jiayu?" Xie Xingzhi looked at the window and asked tentatively.

"Xie Xingzhi! It's really you." A familiar and clear male voice came from outside the window, "As soon as I saw Xie Anheng barging in, I knew that grandma must have kidnapped you."

Xie Xingzhi saw a head sticking out of the window.

Xia Jiayu clasped the window lattice with both hands, and after a lot of effort, he finally squeezed half of his body in, staggered, and fell headfirst on the floor with a "boom".

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I didn't fall." He seemed to feel a little ashamed, and before Xie Xingzhi could ask, he got up straight away.

Xie Xingzhi was afraid that he would knock his head off, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "What did you just say? Xie Anheng has already found him?"

"Yes." Xia Jiayu nodded.

Xie Xingzhi: "Who else is there besides him? Only him?"

Xia Jiayu shook his head: "There is no one else, I only see him."
