After flash marriage with female partner
Chapter 40
Jiang Yueli's lock picking skills came in handy again.
The two found an empty house to settle down temporarily.
The rain outside did not show any signs of attenuation. Instead, it intensified, with a kind of spirit to cleanse everything.
Jiang Yueli squatted in a corner of the room, continued to wipe his glasses that were covered with rain with his sleeves, and from time to time turned his gaze to Lu Mingxuan who was pacing back and forth in the center of the room.
Lu Mingxuan was looking for a signal in the room with her mobile phone.
This area is too remote, the signal is not very good, plus it is raining, and the phone has been flooded, Lu Mingxuan's efforts are doomed to be in vain.
A heavy rain trapped them here and provided a temporary shelter.
At present, their only hope is that good friend of Lu Mingxuan who is a policeman.
And before Lu Mingxuan's cell phone was turned off, the only response they got was to ask them to find a place to hide it and contact them when they arrived.
After Lu Mingxuan flicked the phone for the tenth time, the screen of the overwhelmed phone flickered, and finally completely crashed.
Lu Mingxuan glanced at Jiang Yueli, and asked without hope: "Can you repair the phone?"
"I seem to be able to." Jiang Yueli thought for a while, and found that he really knew how to repair mobile phones, "But I don't have the tools right now."
Lu Mingxuan gave a light "tsk", "Isn't that just nonsense?"
Jiang Yueli glanced up at the irritable Lu Mingxuan, and asked, "Why didn't you find your good friend from the beginning?"
Lu Mingxuan took a deep breath, scratched her wet hair, feeling a little helpless: "He also has work to do, I can't just pull people over without evidence just because I suspect someone is going to kill me Watch it. That's supposed to be the bodyguard's job...."
Lu Mingxuan didn't say any more, Jiang Yueli could tell that she was quite irritable now.
But having said that, the group of people who thought of using bodyguards and almost succeeded were indeed ruthless and decisive.
According to Lu Mingxuan, those bodyguards should be clean and law-abiding citizens, and they have followed Lu Mingxuan for several years, and their mutual trust has reached a certain level, even surpassing some friends.
It is already a great achievement for those people to successfully persuade bodyguards to carry out such illegal activities.
If Lu Mingxuan was the only one present this time, she might not even be aware of the other party's dislike, so she would decisively seize the opportunity.
In other words, Jiang Yueli saved Lu Mingxuan's life this time.
Lu Mingxuan also realized this.
This was another source of her disorientation.
Are there so many coincidences in the world?
Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but began to suspect——
It would be unrealistic for her to maintain trust in someone she had known less than a month after she had just been betrayed by someone she trusted.
What's more, Jiang Yueli was already full of doubts.
And the timing of appearing next to her every time is amazingly coincidental.
Jiang Yueli seemed to have noticed Lu Mingxuan's gaze, and raised his head to meet her gaze for a moment.
The anger in Lu Mingxuan's heart was gradually extinguished.
Apart from other things, it is a fact that Jiang Yueli rescued her many times by mistake.
Now is not a good time to think wildly.
Lu Mingxuan forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and threw the phone into Jiang Yueli's arms.
"It's useless to put it here anyway, so you can fiddle with it as you like."
Jiang Yueli took the phone and tried pressing the power button a few times, but there was still no response.
Lu Mingxuan asked again: "Where's your mobile phone?"
Jiang Yueli freed one hand to touch the mobile phone in his pocket, but the screen was also black and there was no response.
The time the two of them had been in the heavy rain was not short, Jiang Yueli's shirt inside was wet|drenched|drenched|drenched, and the water could be squeezed out with a touch of hand, and the mobile phone in the outer pocket was naturally not immune.
"It should still work after drying." Jiang Yueli looked at the two phones over and over for a long time, and finally stopped looking at the power button, "It seems that there is just a little bad connection, and the signal here is not good."
"Aside from picking locks, you have also learned how to repair cell phones?" Lu Mingxuan leaned against the door and snorted softly, "You are very versatile."
Jiang Yueli nodded without feeling guilty at all: "Maybe I'm a genius."
Lu Mingxuan snorted very loudly, as if she was going to express her disdain by this.
However, Jiang Yueli didn't pay attention to her, and his attention was still on the phone.
Lu Mingxuan curled her lips in boredom, and turned to look at the rain outside the window.
I don't know how long no one has come into this old house, just leaning anywhere, a slight vibration will bring down a swish of dust, and the window glass is even more mushy, covered by all kinds of dirt piled together In the field of vision, only some shadowy shadows can be seen.
No one has come outside the window yet.
But those chasing and killing people may not give up just now, if they are really determined to want Lu Mingxuan's life, they will definitely not let go of this good opportunity.
They would probably go through the empty rooms one by one, and it wouldn't really take them long.
If there are more of them, this time may be shortened by a large amount.
It will take time for Han Lin to come over, Lu Mingxuan only hopes that he can catch up before those people find them.
But how to contact Han Lin is another problem.
The [-]th District said it was not big or small, unless Han Lin also brought a group of people, otherwise a few people might not be able to catch up.
They don't have the capital to be more patient with those chasers.
The fleeting years are unfavorable.
That's probably what's happening right now.
Lu Mingxuan glanced at Jiang Yueli who was still kneading the phone, hoping that a little miracle would happen at this time, such as Jiang Yueli's superpower about repairing the phone or something.
But in fact, she knew that this possibility was unlikely.
Maybe she shouldn't have gone out this morning.Lu Mingxuan couldn't help thinking again.
But if she doesn't come out, she may not find the clue of the courier, then she won't come here, she won't be hunted down, she won't have to call bodyguards to pick her up, and naturally she won't have to fall into such a trap because of the betrayal of the people around her. Dilemma.....
etc--
Thinking of this, Lu Mingxuan's eyes suddenly widened.
"This is a trap..." Lu Mingxuan couldn't help muttering.
"What?" Jiang Yueli looked up at Lu Mingxuan, "Do you know who is going to kill you?"
"That's one of those people—or many of them." Lu Mingxuan frowned, "Those couriers, maybe they lured me here on purpose for me to see, they have long wanted to lure me here and kill me gone."
This guess does not match the testimony of the person at the courier station, but both personal and physical evidence can be forged.
Especially witnesses, the bodyguard is the best example.
Maybe the death of her parents is inseparable from them, and it may not be impossible for them to keep some relics for the current situation.
Otherwise, who would keep her parents' relics for so long except them?
The more Lu Mingxuan thought about it, the paler her face became.
Perhaps they chose to tear themselves apart with her at this moment, so they showed her everything that could break her psychological defense.
Lu Mingxuan looked at Jiang Yueli, her voice trembling: "What's the recording on that phone?"
Jiang Yueli glanced at her, pursed her lips, and replied cautiously, "Help."
When she spoke, she unconsciously lowered her volume, as if she was afraid of disturbing something.
When he was in the hospital, Jiang Yueli had already studied the mobile phone that was delivered by courier.
There are some daily communications in the mobile phone, but because of the long history, many files have been damaged, only the recording seems to have been re-imported recently, and it sounds very clear.
Lu Mingxuan was already on the verge of collapse just hearing those two words, Jiang Yueli glanced at her again, but still swallowed more details.
For example, the voice is so weak that there is almost only a trace of breath, but it is persistent enough to call for help until there is no breath left, and then there is a long period of blankness and subtle wind sounds.
Apparently whoever left that recording didn't wait for someone to rescue them.
At first, Jiang Yueli didn't know who the phone came from, and what relationship it had with Lu Mingxuan.
However, seeing Lu Mingxuan's fierce reaction, Jiang Yueli had already made some guesses, and she was very close.
She later inquired about the model of the mobile phone, which was a new model 18 years ago. Except for the fading caused by time, the mobile phone has not been used for too long.
Smartphones became popular less than a year after that, and the owner of that phone was undoubtedly someone who was active seventeen|eight years ago.
It was such a coincidence that Lu Mingxuan's parents disappeared during that time - there are even some news about the disappearance of the former head of the Lu family on the Internet.
Combined with Lu Mingxuan's reaction, Jiang Yueli guessed the real owner of the phone almost instantly.
Jiang Yueli had no intention of sticking a knife in Lu Mingxuan's wound, pursed her lips, and calmly changed the subject: "But I don't think those are necessarily a trap to lure you here."
Lu Mingxuan forced her attention away: "What do you mean?"
"The relationship within your family should not be very good. If they are really related to...that matter, I don't think they will really keep these things." Jiang Yueli paused , and continued, "It's better to say that the fact is just the opposite."
If the Lu family really had something to do with the "disappearance" of Lu Mingxuan's parents, why would they keep the relics her parents used for help?
Normal people would not be willing to leave any evidence related to the "crime". On the contrary, it is common sense to be eager to get rid of the relationship.
This makes no sense.
Rather, it was precisely because those things were sent to them that they began to feel panic, and they suddenly killed Lu Mingxuan in a panic.
"I remember that your friend seemed to say that they were very nervous about your visit to District [-] last time." Jiang Yueli continued, "Maybe it's the same reason this time, but they should have convinced you that you know something."
"How is it possible?!" Lu Mingxuan frowned and retorted, "I want to know their secrets and come here? I don't have the slightest impression of this place. Who knows what shameful things they did here."
Jiang Yueli pointed out the facts expressionlessly: "As long as they think you know that's enough."
Lu Mingxuan pursed her lips tightly.
Now, it is impossible to say that she can't guess the truth at all.
The sixteenth district, the Lu family, her parents' relics, the secrets she was afraid of being discovered...
The meaning behind it made Lu Mingxuan feel horrified, and she didn't dare to think about it any further.
Lu Mingxuan stopped her thoughts in time, pressed the center of her eyebrows vigorously, and laughed at herself: "...Let's talk about it after we can get out of here alive."
The house fell silent for a while, except for the sound of wind and rain outside the window.
It seems that the small space that is isolated from the outside is quiet and safe, even the wind and rain are blocked outside, but the people trapped inside dare not relax at all.
They knew that at this very moment, the god of death was hovering outside their door, approaching them as time went by.
After a while, Jiang Yueli suddenly said, "Mr. Lu, whose number did you fill in for the emergency caller?"
Lu Mingxuan froze for a moment: "It's brother Lin, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yueli glanced at her approvingly: "That's easy."
Before Lu Mingxuan realized what she meant, she heard a familiar voice from the mobile phone that should have been temporarily discarded.
"Mingxuan?! Are you all right! Where are you guys?!"
Lu Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, looked at the phone in Jiang Yueli's hand, rubbed her eyes twice to confirm that the screen was still pitch black.
Maybe Jiang Yueli's cell phone was used for pranks?Lu Mingxuan came up with an unrealistic guess.
"The emergency SOS system is independent of the main system of the mobile phone." Jiang Yueli briefly explained, and then calmly said to the other end of the phone, "Come in at the sign of District 12, go straight to No. [-] and turn left at the corner, then turn left." Turn the sixth corner to the right of the fork, the seventh on the left—it’s almost the border on the other side.”
.......
Han Lin grabbed the phone with a serious face, while signaling the people next to him with his eyes: "Have you written it down?"
The colleague next to him nodded, and just put the last stroke on his hand: "The recording was sent directly to them, and I will take this photo for them later."
The colleague on standby on the other side couldn't help complaining: "This person is the legendary Mr. Lu? This memory is too good, can you remember such a messy location in the [-]th District? Didn't Brother Han say that she never went there? A place?"
"Whoever said it was Mr. Lu, it's obviously another person."
"But speaking of it, is this voice familiar? Why do I feel like I heard it somewhere?"
"Such a terrifying memory and narrative style are also very familiar, don't you think?"
"But Miss Xiaohua already—"
"Cough cough!"
The person lying at the table coughed twice, poked his colleague in the waist with his arm, and signaled him to shut up quickly from the corner of his eye.
"Good game Shen!"
An affectionate call immediately made several people in the narrow conference hall stand up, subconsciously saluting the leader who had just entered the door.
"Are there any new tasks?" The leader with half-white hair looked kindly, but his eyes were sharp. "I heard that President Lu called the police?"
Immediately someone replied: "The ones who reported to Brother Han heard that the situation is urgent, and they have already sent someone to pick them up."
Bureau Shen took a look at Han Lin: "Lu Mingxuan is considered a benchmark figure in K City, if something happens, the impact will definitely not be small, we need to ensure her personal safety first, we need someone to speak up."
As he spoke, he paused again, as if he was about to say something else, but finally stopped talking.
"I'll bring some people there soon." Han Lin continued, "The other one—Ms. Jiang, we will bring her back safely."
Shen Ju nodded and patted Han Lin on the shoulder: "You also pay attention to safety, I will wait for you to come back."
Han Lin gestured to his colleagues, saluted Shen Ju, and went out in a well-trained manner.
Shen Ju slowly walked back to his office, watched Han Lin get into the car with a few people from the window, and then galloped away again.
The deputy bureau chief passed by the bureau chief's office with a teacup in his hand, and followed him in to join in the fun: "Why are you frowning? I heard there is another big case?"
Shen Ju shook his head: "It was reported by Lu Mingxuan."
The deputy | director | quickly realized: "Is it the little girl who reported the crime 17 years ago?"
Shen Ju nodded, with regret and embarrassment on his face.
The name Lu Mingxuan is also well-known in the K City Police Department, not only because she and Han Lin from the criminal investigation team are childhood friends, but also because of the disappearance case of her parents.
Lu's is also one of the largest large companies in the country, and the case of the disappearance of the head of the family is naturally extraordinary.
Bureau Shen had handled the disappearance case 17 years ago.
Back then, a child who was only ten years old braved the heavy rain and came to the gate of the police station alone, and waited from late at night until daytime, just to report the crime——
To be precise, report the murderer.
Ten-year-old Lu Mingxuan deliberately avoided relatives who were vying to adopt her, just to report them.
Shen Ju still remembered that when he asked Lu Mingxuan who he wanted to report, the latter categorically pointed to the people in the Lu family group photo and said, "All of them."
There are not many records of large-scale gang crimes in K City, not to mention that they are all well-known and well-known corporate executives. Facing a child's report, no one will take it seriously.
What's more, Lu Mingxuan couldn't produce any evidence at that time.
Even though the police invested a lot of manpower and material resources, they were unable to find any traces of Lu Mingxuan's parents, and the confessions of all relevant personnel were impeccable.
The two of them seemed to have disappeared from the world.
After nearly a year of searching, the whereabouts of Lu Mingxuan's parents were finally concluded as "disappeared". At that time, Lu Mingxuan had already been sent abroad.
This unsolvable case was a thorn in everyone's mind at the time.
Shen Ju was even more impressed by Lu Mingxuan who was neither crying nor fussing and had gloomy eyes.
At that time, the child seemed to be dead—he was still alive, but his soul was gone.
Later, Ju Shen would occasionally wake up in the middle of the night, recalling the dim and silent look in the child's eyes when he learned that he could not find out the whereabouts of his parents, let alone convict those without evidence.
Many wealthy families are cannibals, especially big families with a large population like the Lu family.
Shen Ju almost thought that he would never see that child again, but Lu Mingxuan came back from abroad in only five or six years, and quickly gained a firm foothold in the Lu family.
The unsolved disappearance case back then had become a dusty dossier, but the struggle between Lu Mingxuan and the Lu family seemed to never end.
In recent years, hearing that Lu Mingxuan's reputation for flamboyant|crazy|arrogant|ostentatious outside has intensified, Shen Ju also had a vague premonition in his heart——
The disappearance case was far from over.
After "that incident", this premonition also became stronger.
The deputy | bureau chief | recalled the past with Shen Ju for a moment, and he was also very sad about the current result.
"However, I think you're worried about more than just this one thing." The deputy bureau chief looked at the melancholy on Shen Bureau's brows, with a thoughtful expression on his face, "Thinking of your girl again? I remember Before Xiao Hua had an accident last year, she seemed to have paid close attention to the Lu family."
Old friends don't have to be so scruples when talking, but Shen Ju still shook his head with a wry smile, as if he didn't want to bring up this topic.
"My condolences." The Deputy | Bureau | patted his old friend on the shoulder, persuaded him and then retreated, leaving room for Shen Bureau to be alone.
In the empty office, Shen Ju sighed softly, and sank down on the seat somewhat dejectedly.
A crumpled piece of paper was pressed in his hand, and the exposed part reflected a corner of the photo, the front face was blocked, and only a small section of curly hair and a corner of the frame were revealed.
There are two lines of writing on the other side that are not completely blocked——
【Hua Zhaoying
Status: Missing]
.......
When the voices of the crowd outside the door gradually approached, Lu Mingxuan was pacing back and forth in the center of the room.
This time she wasn't just in a daze.
Lu Mingxuan scanned the surrounding furnishings, and piled up the things that could be covered in one place as naturally as possible, then she directly carried Jiang Yueli into the newly built "nest", and threw the phone back into her hand by the way.
They only dialed out the emergency call twice, and then they don't know whether it was completely scrapped because of too much water, or because the phone was out of battery, leaving only some intermittent current sounds.
Knowing that the other party was already on their way over, this made Lu Mingxuan somewhat relieved.
But at the same time, she is also clear that they must not just stay where they are and wait to die——
At least she can't.
"In case something happens in a while, I run out, you just hide here, okay? They are targeting me, so they shouldn't care too much about your whereabouts."
Lu Mingxuan finally sat beside Jiang Yueli, muttering a few words.
Jiang Yueli absently poked the unresponsive phone screen.
Lu Mingxuan, who was ignored, took a deep breath, followed her eyes to the phone, and suddenly remembered something: "What is the emergency number on your phone?"
A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Lu Mingxuan's heart. At this time, keeping the connection open would be of great help.
The emergency mode of mobile phones has been reformed for many years, and now it is impossible to use the mobile phone normally without an emergency contact number. Dialing under the circumstances, then Jiang Yueli's call is not out of the question.
Jiang Yueli casually reported a number.
Lu Mingxuan rubbed her chin, feeling that the string of numbers looked familiar: "Whose number?"
"Your." Jiang Yueli glanced at Lu Mingxuan blankly, "Otherwise I would have called for help."
"..." Lu Mingxuan couldn't help raising her eyebrows, "Why did you use my number?"
Jiang Yueli replied, "Because I don't know other people's numbers."
Lu Mingxuan: "..."
She really couldn't refute this reason.
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Yueli's amnesia is really a very bad thing.
Jiang Yueli yelled again: "Mr. Lu—"
But this time Lu Mingxuan frowned, she covered Jiang Yueli's mouth with her hand, and made a silent gesture to her.
She noticed movement outside.
The sound of the messy footsteps was covered by the sound of the rain, so it wasn't very clear, but to Lu Mingxuan, who had been tense for a long time, the sound falling on her ears was no different from a few thunderclaps.
Han Lin and the others probably won't arrive so soon.
Lu Mingxuan and Jiang Yueli raised their hearts at the same time.
Jiang Yueli subconsciously touched the blade at her hand, as well as the knife she had found from the bodyguards earlier, but before her hand could reach far, Lu Mingxuan held it down.
"Squat here and don't move!" Lu Mingxuan lowered her voice and shouted, "You can't go out until Brother Lin and the others come, you have seen him, don't believe anyone else—I'll run to the east in a while, you can go there Come find me."
"land--"
Jiang Yueli's voice ended on the other's lips.
Lu Mingxuan blocked Jiang Yueli's mouth, but it was only a light touch, and when she subconsciously made such a move, she was also taken aback for a moment.
But now is not the time to count those things.
Lu Mingxuan stood up, pushed Jiang Yueli down at the same time, and said softly, "Good boy. I have to go through the formalities with you when I come back."
Jiang Yueli hugged the two mobile phones, looked at Lu Mingxuan for a moment, covered her mouth and nodded slowly.
Lu Mingxuan showed her an almost gentle smile, then covered Jiang Yueli's body with things that could cover her figure, then turned and walked towards the door.
......
Escaping in the rain is no easy chore.
The good news is that the rain curtain also interferes with the opponent's field of vision, at least it reduces the aim of the gun | weapon a lot.
Everything was as Lu Mingxuan expected, the group's primary target was her, and after she pushed the door and rushed out, they followed her without hesitation.
As for whether one or two people were left to search that room, Lu Mingxuan was not sure, but she didn't have time to investigate.
If there were only one or two, Jiang Yueli should be enough to deal with them.
Lu Mingxuan ran towards the forest while thinking.
There were a lot more people following her than in the morning, probably because they also had some expectation of Lu Mingxuan's strength, the morning could only be regarded as a stepping stone, and it was at this time that the real action took place.
Of the group, at least three had guns.
Lu Mingxuan was physically and mentally exhausted, and this moment was perhaps the most embarrassing moment for her, running stumbling and rolling over the mud, just to avoid bullets and sticks.
She took the opportunity to kick two or three into the ditch, unable to get up for a while.
But the pressure to cut back is just a drop in the bucket.
Lu Mingxuan could only wait - until she was rescued, she could only keep running.
until the end of the road.
Lu Mingxuan was not familiar with the road conditions in this area, so she ran into a dead end in the end.
In front of them was a dense forest, and there was no room to dodge. A huge banyan tree directly in front of them could barely cover it for a while, but it didn't help.
There were pursuers chasing after him, so Lu Mingxuan could only grit her teeth and charge forward.
However, at this moment, her spirit and body have reached a certain limit, and a bare|exposed tree root under her feet can easily trip her up.
Lu Mingxuan staggered and bumped her head against the tree trunk.
At this moment, the person behind has already approached: "Mr. Lu, the road has come to an end."
The man in black with a scar on his face pointed his gun at Lu Mingxuan, and sneered, "You know how to choose a place, so just sleep here with them."
Not only the people directly in front had guns, but also someone on the left pointed their guns at Lu Mingxuan, while the rest of them retreated a certain distance.
Lu Mingxuan couldn't retreat, she stared at the other party with wide eyes and slowly pulled the trigger, not even caring about the sting of rainwater falling into her eyes.
Is she going to die here?
She hasn't divorced Jiang Yueli yet.
Lu Mingxuan thought about it endlessly, but she still couldn't suppress the despair overflowing in her heart.
"boom--"
The two gunshots almost overlapped at one place, Lu Mingxuan subconsciously closed her eyes, her mind went blank.
But it wasn't her who fell.
Apart from the tingling around the eyes, Lu Mingxuan didn't feel any sharp tingling from other directions on her body.
The sound of the gun is indeed close at hand.
Lu Mingxuan opened her eyes, and the two people who were holding the guns fell to the ground, clutching their wrists and howling. beginning.
Facing another pair of familiar eyes, there was a more familiar expression of indifference.
Jiang Yueli was standing not far from her, her glasses had been thrown on the ground, and there was a coldness and sharpness that could not be blocked by the rain curtain in her naked eyes.
She raised her gun and pointed it at another pursuer.
The two found an empty house to settle down temporarily.
The rain outside did not show any signs of attenuation. Instead, it intensified, with a kind of spirit to cleanse everything.
Jiang Yueli squatted in a corner of the room, continued to wipe his glasses that were covered with rain with his sleeves, and from time to time turned his gaze to Lu Mingxuan who was pacing back and forth in the center of the room.
Lu Mingxuan was looking for a signal in the room with her mobile phone.
This area is too remote, the signal is not very good, plus it is raining, and the phone has been flooded, Lu Mingxuan's efforts are doomed to be in vain.
A heavy rain trapped them here and provided a temporary shelter.
At present, their only hope is that good friend of Lu Mingxuan who is a policeman.
And before Lu Mingxuan's cell phone was turned off, the only response they got was to ask them to find a place to hide it and contact them when they arrived.
After Lu Mingxuan flicked the phone for the tenth time, the screen of the overwhelmed phone flickered, and finally completely crashed.
Lu Mingxuan glanced at Jiang Yueli, and asked without hope: "Can you repair the phone?"
"I seem to be able to." Jiang Yueli thought for a while, and found that he really knew how to repair mobile phones, "But I don't have the tools right now."
Lu Mingxuan gave a light "tsk", "Isn't that just nonsense?"
Jiang Yueli glanced up at the irritable Lu Mingxuan, and asked, "Why didn't you find your good friend from the beginning?"
Lu Mingxuan took a deep breath, scratched her wet hair, feeling a little helpless: "He also has work to do, I can't just pull people over without evidence just because I suspect someone is going to kill me Watch it. That's supposed to be the bodyguard's job...."
Lu Mingxuan didn't say any more, Jiang Yueli could tell that she was quite irritable now.
But having said that, the group of people who thought of using bodyguards and almost succeeded were indeed ruthless and decisive.
According to Lu Mingxuan, those bodyguards should be clean and law-abiding citizens, and they have followed Lu Mingxuan for several years, and their mutual trust has reached a certain level, even surpassing some friends.
It is already a great achievement for those people to successfully persuade bodyguards to carry out such illegal activities.
If Lu Mingxuan was the only one present this time, she might not even be aware of the other party's dislike, so she would decisively seize the opportunity.
In other words, Jiang Yueli saved Lu Mingxuan's life this time.
Lu Mingxuan also realized this.
This was another source of her disorientation.
Are there so many coincidences in the world?
Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but began to suspect——
It would be unrealistic for her to maintain trust in someone she had known less than a month after she had just been betrayed by someone she trusted.
What's more, Jiang Yueli was already full of doubts.

Now is not a good time to think wildly.
Lu Mingxuan forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and threw the phone into Jiang Yueli's arms.
"It's useless to put it here anyway, so you can fiddle with it as you like."
Jiang Yueli took the phone and tried pressing the power button a few times, but there was still no response.
Lu Mingxuan asked again: "Where's your mobile phone?"
Jiang Yueli freed one hand to touch the mobile phone in his pocket, but the screen was also black and there was no response.
The time the two of them had been in the heavy rain was not short, Jiang Yueli's shirt inside was wet|drenched|drenched|drenched, and the water could be squeezed out with a touch of hand, and the mobile phone in the outer pocket was naturally not immune.
"It should still work after drying." Jiang Yueli looked at the two phones over and over for a long time, and finally stopped looking at the power button, "It seems that there is just a little bad connection, and the signal here is not good."
"Aside from picking locks, you have also learned how to repair cell phones?" Lu Mingxuan leaned against the door and snorted softly, "You are very versatile."
Jiang Yueli nodded without feeling guilty at all: "Maybe I'm a genius."
Lu Mingxuan snorted very loudly, as if she was going to express her disdain by this.
However, Jiang Yueli didn't pay attention to her, and his attention was still on the phone.
Lu Mingxuan curled her lips in boredom, and turned to look at the rain outside the window.
I don't know how long no one has come into this old house, just leaning anywhere, a slight vibration will bring down a swish of dust, and the window glass is even more mushy, covered by all kinds of dirt piled together In the field of vision, only some shadowy shadows can be seen.
No one has come outside the window yet.
But those chasing and killing people may not give up just now, if they are really determined to want Lu Mingxuan's life, they will definitely not let go of this good opportunity.

It will take time for Han Lin to come over, Lu Mingxuan only hopes that he can catch up before those people find them.
But how to contact Han Lin is another problem.
The [-]th District said it was not big or small, unless Han Lin also brought a group of people, otherwise a few people might not be able to catch up.
They don't have the capital to be more patient with those chasers.
The fleeting years are unfavorable.
That's probably what's happening right now.
Lu Mingxuan glanced at Jiang Yueli who was still kneading the phone, hoping that a little miracle would happen at this time, such as Jiang Yueli's superpower about repairing the phone or something.
But in fact, she knew that this possibility was unlikely.
Maybe she shouldn't have gone out this morning.Lu Mingxuan couldn't help thinking again.
But if she doesn't come out, she may not find the clue of the courier, then she won't come here, she won't be hunted down, she won't have to call bodyguards to pick her up, and naturally she won't have to fall into such a trap because of the betrayal of the people around her. Dilemma.....
etc--
Thinking of this, Lu Mingxuan's eyes suddenly widened.
"This is a trap..." Lu Mingxuan couldn't help muttering.
"What?" Jiang Yueli looked up at Lu Mingxuan, "Do you know who is going to kill you?"
"That's one of those people—or many of them." Lu Mingxuan frowned, "Those couriers, maybe they lured me here on purpose for me to see, they have long wanted to lure me here and kill me gone."
This guess does not match the testimony of the person at the courier station, but both personal and physical evidence can be forged.
Especially witnesses, the bodyguard is the best example.
Maybe the death of her parents is inseparable from them, and it may not be impossible for them to keep some relics for the current situation.
Otherwise, who would keep her parents' relics for so long except them?
The more Lu Mingxuan thought about it, the paler her face became.
Perhaps they chose to tear themselves apart with her at this moment, so they showed her everything that could break her psychological defense.
Lu Mingxuan looked at Jiang Yueli, her voice trembling: "What's the recording on that phone?"
Jiang Yueli glanced at her, pursed her lips, and replied cautiously, "Help."
When she spoke, she unconsciously lowered her volume, as if she was afraid of disturbing something.
When he was in the hospital, Jiang Yueli had already studied the mobile phone that was delivered by courier.
There are some daily communications in the mobile phone, but because of the long history, many files have been damaged, only the recording seems to have been re-imported recently, and it sounds very clear.
Lu Mingxuan was already on the verge of collapse just hearing those two words, Jiang Yueli glanced at her again, but still swallowed more details.
For example, the voice is so weak that there is almost only a trace of breath, but it is persistent enough to call for help until there is no breath left, and then there is a long period of blankness and subtle wind sounds.
Apparently whoever left that recording didn't wait for someone to rescue them.
At first, Jiang Yueli didn't know who the phone came from, and what relationship it had with Lu Mingxuan.
However, seeing Lu Mingxuan's fierce reaction, Jiang Yueli had already made some guesses, and she was very close.
She later inquired about the model of the mobile phone, which was a new model 18 years ago. Except for the fading caused by time, the mobile phone has not been used for too long.
Smartphones became popular less than a year after that, and the owner of that phone was undoubtedly someone who was active seventeen|eight years ago.
It was such a coincidence that Lu Mingxuan's parents disappeared during that time - there are even some news about the disappearance of the former head of the Lu family on the Internet.
Combined with Lu Mingxuan's reaction, Jiang Yueli guessed the real owner of the phone almost instantly.
Jiang Yueli had no intention of sticking a knife in Lu Mingxuan's wound, pursed her lips, and calmly changed the subject: "But I don't think those are necessarily a trap to lure you here."
Lu Mingxuan forced her attention away: "What do you mean?"
"The relationship within your family should not be very good. If they are really related to...that matter, I don't think they will really keep these things." Jiang Yueli paused , and continued, "It's better to say that the fact is just the opposite."
If the Lu family really had something to do with the "disappearance" of Lu Mingxuan's parents, why would they keep the relics her parents used for help?
Normal people would not be willing to leave any evidence related to the "crime". On the contrary, it is common sense to be eager to get rid of the relationship.
This makes no sense.
Rather, it was precisely because those things were sent to them that they began to feel panic, and they suddenly killed Lu Mingxuan in a panic.
"I remember that your friend seemed to say that they were very nervous about your visit to District [-] last time." Jiang Yueli continued, "Maybe it's the same reason this time, but they should have convinced you that you know something."
"How is it possible?!" Lu Mingxuan frowned and retorted, "I want to know their secrets and come here? I don't have the slightest impression of this place. Who knows what shameful things they did here."
Jiang Yueli pointed out the facts expressionlessly: "As long as they think you know that's enough."
Lu Mingxuan pursed her lips tightly.
Now, it is impossible to say that she can't guess the truth at all.
The sixteenth district, the Lu family, her parents' relics, the secrets she was afraid of being discovered...
The meaning behind it made Lu Mingxuan feel horrified, and she didn't dare to think about it any further.
Lu Mingxuan stopped her thoughts in time, pressed the center of her eyebrows vigorously, and laughed at herself: "...Let's talk about it after we can get out of here alive."
The house fell silent for a while, except for the sound of wind and rain outside the window.
It seems that the small space that is isolated from the outside is quiet and safe, even the wind and rain are blocked outside, but the people trapped inside dare not relax at all.
They knew that at this very moment, the god of death was hovering outside their door, approaching them as time went by.
After a while, Jiang Yueli suddenly said, "Mr. Lu, whose number did you fill in for the emergency caller?"
Lu Mingxuan froze for a moment: "It's brother Lin, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yueli glanced at her approvingly: "That's easy."
Before Lu Mingxuan realized what she meant, she heard a familiar voice from the mobile phone that should have been temporarily discarded.
"Mingxuan?! Are you all right! Where are you guys?!"
Lu Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, looked at the phone in Jiang Yueli's hand, rubbed her eyes twice to confirm that the screen was still pitch black.
Maybe Jiang Yueli's cell phone was used for pranks?Lu Mingxuan came up with an unrealistic guess.
"The emergency SOS system is independent of the main system of the mobile phone." Jiang Yueli briefly explained, and then calmly said to the other end of the phone, "Come in at the sign of District 12, go straight to No. [-] and turn left at the corner, then turn left." Turn the sixth corner to the right of the fork, the seventh on the left—it’s almost the border on the other side.”
.......
Han Lin grabbed the phone with a serious face, while signaling the people next to him with his eyes: "Have you written it down?"
The colleague next to him nodded, and just put the last stroke on his hand: "The recording was sent directly to them, and I will take this photo for them later."
The colleague on standby on the other side couldn't help complaining: "This person is the legendary Mr. Lu? This memory is too good, can you remember such a messy location in the [-]th District? Didn't Brother Han say that she never went there? A place?"
"Whoever said it was Mr. Lu, it's obviously another person."
"But speaking of it, is this voice familiar? Why do I feel like I heard it somewhere?"
"Such a terrifying memory and narrative style are also very familiar, don't you think?"
"But Miss Xiaohua already—"
"Cough cough!"
The person lying at the table coughed twice, poked his colleague in the waist with his arm, and signaled him to shut up quickly from the corner of his eye.
"Good game Shen!"
An affectionate call immediately made several people in the narrow conference hall stand up, subconsciously saluting the leader who had just entered the door.
"Are there any new tasks?" The leader with half-white hair looked kindly, but his eyes were sharp. "I heard that President Lu called the police?"
Immediately someone replied: "The ones who reported to Brother Han heard that the situation is urgent, and they have already sent someone to pick them up."
Bureau Shen took a look at Han Lin: "Lu Mingxuan is considered a benchmark figure in K City, if something happens, the impact will definitely not be small, we need to ensure her personal safety first, we need someone to speak up."
As he spoke, he paused again, as if he was about to say something else, but finally stopped talking.
"I'll bring some people there soon." Han Lin continued, "The other one—Ms. Jiang, we will bring her back safely."
Shen Ju nodded and patted Han Lin on the shoulder: "You also pay attention to safety, I will wait for you to come back."
Han Lin gestured to his colleagues, saluted Shen Ju, and went out in a well-trained manner.
Shen Ju slowly walked back to his office, watched Han Lin get into the car with a few people from the window, and then galloped away again.
The deputy bureau chief passed by the bureau chief's office with a teacup in his hand, and followed him in to join in the fun: "Why are you frowning? I heard there is another big case?"
Shen Ju shook his head: "It was reported by Lu Mingxuan."
The deputy | director | quickly realized: "Is it the little girl who reported the crime 17 years ago?"
Shen Ju nodded, with regret and embarrassment on his face.
The name Lu Mingxuan is also well-known in the K City Police Department, not only because she and Han Lin from the criminal investigation team are childhood friends, but also because of the disappearance case of her parents.
Lu's is also one of the largest large companies in the country, and the case of the disappearance of the head of the family is naturally extraordinary.
Bureau Shen had handled the disappearance case 17 years ago.
Back then, a child who was only ten years old braved the heavy rain and came to the gate of the police station alone, and waited from late at night until daytime, just to report the crime——
To be precise, report the murderer.
Ten-year-old Lu Mingxuan deliberately avoided relatives who were vying to adopt her, just to report them.
Shen Ju still remembered that when he asked Lu Mingxuan who he wanted to report, the latter categorically pointed to the people in the Lu family group photo and said, "All of them."
There are not many records of large-scale gang crimes in K City, not to mention that they are all well-known and well-known corporate executives. Facing a child's report, no one will take it seriously.
What's more, Lu Mingxuan couldn't produce any evidence at that time.
Even though the police invested a lot of manpower and material resources, they were unable to find any traces of Lu Mingxuan's parents, and the confessions of all relevant personnel were impeccable.
The two of them seemed to have disappeared from the world.
After nearly a year of searching, the whereabouts of Lu Mingxuan's parents were finally concluded as "disappeared". At that time, Lu Mingxuan had already been sent abroad.
This unsolvable case was a thorn in everyone's mind at the time.
Shen Ju was even more impressed by Lu Mingxuan who was neither crying nor fussing and had gloomy eyes.
At that time, the child seemed to be dead—he was still alive, but his soul was gone.
Later, Ju Shen would occasionally wake up in the middle of the night, recalling the dim and silent look in the child's eyes when he learned that he could not find out the whereabouts of his parents, let alone convict those without evidence.
Many wealthy families are cannibals, especially big families with a large population like the Lu family.
Shen Ju almost thought that he would never see that child again, but Lu Mingxuan came back from abroad in only five or six years, and quickly gained a firm foothold in the Lu family.
The unsolved disappearance case back then had become a dusty dossier, but the struggle between Lu Mingxuan and the Lu family seemed to never end.
In recent years, hearing that Lu Mingxuan's reputation for flamboyant|crazy|arrogant|ostentatious outside has intensified, Shen Ju also had a vague premonition in his heart——
The disappearance case was far from over.
After "that incident", this premonition also became stronger.
The deputy | bureau chief | recalled the past with Shen Ju for a moment, and he was also very sad about the current result.
"However, I think you're worried about more than just this one thing." The deputy bureau chief looked at the melancholy on Shen Bureau's brows, with a thoughtful expression on his face, "Thinking of your girl again? I remember Before Xiao Hua had an accident last year, she seemed to have paid close attention to the Lu family."
Old friends don't have to be so scruples when talking, but Shen Ju still shook his head with a wry smile, as if he didn't want to bring up this topic.
"My condolences." The Deputy | Bureau | patted his old friend on the shoulder, persuaded him and then retreated, leaving room for Shen Bureau to be alone.
In the empty office, Shen Ju sighed softly, and sank down on the seat somewhat dejectedly.
A crumpled piece of paper was pressed in his hand, and the exposed part reflected a corner of the photo, the front face was blocked, and only a small section of curly hair and a corner of the frame were revealed.
There are two lines of writing on the other side that are not completely blocked——
【Hua Zhaoying
Status: Missing]
.......
When the voices of the crowd outside the door gradually approached, Lu Mingxuan was pacing back and forth in the center of the room.
This time she wasn't just in a daze.
Lu Mingxuan scanned the surrounding furnishings, and piled up the things that could be covered in one place as naturally as possible, then she directly carried Jiang Yueli into the newly built "nest", and threw the phone back into her hand by the way.
They only dialed out the emergency call twice, and then they don't know whether it was completely scrapped because of too much water, or because the phone was out of battery, leaving only some intermittent current sounds.
Knowing that the other party was already on their way over, this made Lu Mingxuan somewhat relieved.
But at the same time, she is also clear that they must not just stay where they are and wait to die——
At least she can't.
"In case something happens in a while, I run out, you just hide here, okay? They are targeting me, so they shouldn't care too much about your whereabouts."
Lu Mingxuan finally sat beside Jiang Yueli, muttering a few words.
Jiang Yueli absently poked the unresponsive phone screen.
Lu Mingxuan, who was ignored, took a deep breath, followed her eyes to the phone, and suddenly remembered something: "What is the emergency number on your phone?"
A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Lu Mingxuan's heart. At this time, keeping the connection open would be of great help.
The emergency mode of mobile phones has been reformed for many years, and now it is impossible to use the mobile phone normally without an emergency contact number. Dialing under the circumstances, then Jiang Yueli's call is not out of the question.
Jiang Yueli casually reported a number.
Lu Mingxuan rubbed her chin, feeling that the string of numbers looked familiar: "Whose number?"
"Your." Jiang Yueli glanced at Lu Mingxuan blankly, "Otherwise I would have called for help."
"..." Lu Mingxuan couldn't help raising her eyebrows, "Why did you use my number?"
Jiang Yueli replied, "Because I don't know other people's numbers."
Lu Mingxuan: "..."
She really couldn't refute this reason.
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Yueli's amnesia is really a very bad thing.
Jiang Yueli yelled again: "Mr. Lu—"
But this time Lu Mingxuan frowned, she covered Jiang Yueli's mouth with her hand, and made a silent gesture to her.
She noticed movement outside.
The sound of the messy footsteps was covered by the sound of the rain, so it wasn't very clear, but to Lu Mingxuan, who had been tense for a long time, the sound falling on her ears was no different from a few thunderclaps.
Han Lin and the others probably won't arrive so soon.
Lu Mingxuan and Jiang Yueli raised their hearts at the same time.
Jiang Yueli subconsciously touched the blade at her hand, as well as the knife she had found from the bodyguards earlier, but before her hand could reach far, Lu Mingxuan held it down.
"Squat here and don't move!" Lu Mingxuan lowered her voice and shouted, "You can't go out until Brother Lin and the others come, you have seen him, don't believe anyone else—I'll run to the east in a while, you can go there Come find me."
"land--"
Jiang Yueli's voice ended on the other's lips.
Lu Mingxuan blocked Jiang Yueli's mouth, but it was only a light touch, and when she subconsciously made such a move, she was also taken aback for a moment.
But now is not the time to count those things.
Lu Mingxuan stood up, pushed Jiang Yueli down at the same time, and said softly, "Good boy. I have to go through the formalities with you when I come back."
Jiang Yueli hugged the two mobile phones, looked at Lu Mingxuan for a moment, covered her mouth and nodded slowly.
Lu Mingxuan showed her an almost gentle smile, then covered Jiang Yueli's body with things that could cover her figure, then turned and walked towards the door.
......
Escaping in the rain is no easy chore.
The good news is that the rain curtain also interferes with the opponent's field of vision, at least it reduces the aim of the gun | weapon a lot.
Everything was as Lu Mingxuan expected, the group's primary target was her, and after she pushed the door and rushed out, they followed her without hesitation.
As for whether one or two people were left to search that room, Lu Mingxuan was not sure, but she didn't have time to investigate.
If there were only one or two, Jiang Yueli should be enough to deal with them.
Lu Mingxuan ran towards the forest while thinking.
There were a lot more people following her than in the morning, probably because they also had some expectation of Lu Mingxuan's strength, the morning could only be regarded as a stepping stone, and it was at this time that the real action took place.
Of the group, at least three had guns.
Lu Mingxuan was physically and mentally exhausted, and this moment was perhaps the most embarrassing moment for her, running stumbling and rolling over the mud, just to avoid bullets and sticks.
She took the opportunity to kick two or three into the ditch, unable to get up for a while.
But the pressure to cut back is just a drop in the bucket.
Lu Mingxuan could only wait - until she was rescued, she could only keep running.
until the end of the road.
Lu Mingxuan was not familiar with the road conditions in this area, so she ran into a dead end in the end.
In front of them was a dense forest, and there was no room to dodge. A huge banyan tree directly in front of them could barely cover it for a while, but it didn't help.
There were pursuers chasing after him, so Lu Mingxuan could only grit her teeth and charge forward.
However, at this moment, her spirit and body have reached a certain limit, and a bare|exposed tree root under her feet can easily trip her up.
Lu Mingxuan staggered and bumped her head against the tree trunk.
At this moment, the person behind has already approached: "Mr. Lu, the road has come to an end."
The man in black with a scar on his face pointed his gun at Lu Mingxuan, and sneered, "You know how to choose a place, so just sleep here with them."
Not only the people directly in front had guns, but also someone on the left pointed their guns at Lu Mingxuan, while the rest of them retreated a certain distance.
Lu Mingxuan couldn't retreat, she stared at the other party with wide eyes and slowly pulled the trigger, not even caring about the sting of rainwater falling into her eyes.
Is she going to die here?
She hasn't divorced Jiang Yueli yet.
Lu Mingxuan thought about it endlessly, but she still couldn't suppress the despair overflowing in her heart.
"boom--"
The two gunshots almost overlapped at one place, Lu Mingxuan subconsciously closed her eyes, her mind went blank.
But it wasn't her who fell.
Apart from the tingling around the eyes, Lu Mingxuan didn't feel any sharp tingling from other directions on her body.
The sound of the gun is indeed close at hand.
Lu Mingxuan opened her eyes, and the two people who were holding the guns fell to the ground, clutching their wrists and howling. beginning.
Facing another pair of familiar eyes, there was a more familiar expression of indifference.
Jiang Yueli was standing not far from her, her glasses had been thrown on the ground, and there was a coldness and sharpness that could not be blocked by the rain curtain in her naked eyes.
She raised her gun and pointed it at another pursuer.
