The driver snatched his cell phone and pulled out the phone card: "It will be tracked. You can't use this card again in the future."
"No, I want to make sure my friend is safe." Wen Xiaohui stretched out his hand to grab it.
The driver handed him his cell phone: "We have to leave right now. You can call your employer and ask him to change his mind, otherwise I have to take you away."
Wen Xiaohui gritted his teeth and started to call Li Shuo, but the line was always busy.
The driver started the car.
Wen Xiaohui shouted: "I can't leave now! If you dare to start, I will jump out of the car!"
The driver turned around and said helplessly: "Mr. Wen, look at the road sign and see where we are. Even if we go back now, it will still take five or six hours to drive to the capital. The fastest way is to go to the nearest big city.
We're going back by plane. So you'd better sit tight and the phone should be able to be connected before we arrive at the next city."
Wen Xiaohui looked at the road sign and knew that the driver was right. He could only lean back in his chair in frustration, his face frighteningly pale.
The driver drove the car back onto the highway, Wen Xiaohui's eyes fixed on the phone.
About half an hour later, the phone rang. Before the first ring ended, Wen Xiaohui had already connected the phone, and his voice was shaking: "Brother Li, Luo Rui was raped by Luo Yi..."
"I know, Xiaohui, calm down, I know." Li Shuo interrupted him. His calm tone alone gave people a sense of peace of mind. He said, "Don't worry, Luo Rui is fine.
I just spoke to him on the phone."
"Ah?" Wen Xiaohui thought, Shao Qun is so powerful? What method did he use to get Luo Yi to release him?
"Luo Rui can't explain the specific situation. I have been using my connections to find someone this morning, and I just received a call from him, saying that Luo Yi suddenly let him go. You can call him to confirm."
Wen Xiaohui took a long breath, and his hands and feet became weak for a moment, and he couldn't even hold the phone, which gave him the illusion of surviving the disaster.
Li Shuo comforted him softly: "It's okay now. You can leave with peace of mind."
Wen Xiaohui replied vaguely, then hung up the phone in a hurry and called Luo Rui.
Luo Rui quickly answered the phone, his voice still a little panicked: "Hello?"
"Luo Rui, it's me."
"Xiaohui!" Luo Rui shouted excitedly, "Have you left the capital?"
"I left." Wen Xiaohui's eyes were a little hot, "I made you feel wronged. Are you hurt?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. He asked me where you were, but I didn't tell him and he didn't do anything to me... By the way, he seemed to be injured."
Wen Xiaohui thought about the blood on Luo Yi's face, and his body shook violently. But Luo Yi could still carry out the kidnapping, and it was obvious that he was not seriously injured.
"I don't know why he suddenly let me go. I thought..." Luo Rui was still frightened when he thought about it. "Anyway, I'm fine now, don't worry."
Wen Xiaohui knew the reason but couldn't say it. Of course Shao Qun didn't want to publicly offend Luo Yi. Luo Yi was a madman. As for what method Shao Qun used to get Luo Yi to release him, it was unknown. If his guess was correct, then
In the matter of encircling and suppressing Changhong Stock, Shao Qun may have had a share of the pie, so he would definitely have some information about Luo Yi. Of course, these were just his guesses, and he didn't want to know the whole story.
All he cares about is that Luo Rui is safe.
Wen Xiaohui sniffed: "As long as you're okay, Luo Yi posted the photo of you being tied up on Weibo using my account."
"Oh my god..." Luo Rui said nervously, "Why is this madman so brave?"
"Fans thought it was a joke...I have deleted it."
Luo Rui exhaled heavily: "I'm at home now. I'll go see my aunt in the afternoon and I'll change my ticket to Australia tomorrow."
Wen Xiaohui thought of his mother and felt a headache: "I don't know if my mother can understand after reading my letter..."
"I will help you convince her. When she comes back from the United States next year, maybe you can meet."
Wen Xiaohui sighed: "Luo Rui, when you go back, throw away all the clothes you are wearing and replace it with a mobile phone and a SIM card. Try not to mention my whereabouts in your life. Luo Yi is very good at eavesdropping and other means. You have to
careful."
Luo Rui gasped: "I understand."
Wen Xiaohui choked up slightly: "Beibi, I don't know when I can see you next time."
"I will find you. You are in a new place. You should get well as soon as possible and start a new life."
"Okay." Wen Xiaohui covered his eyes, tears oozing out from between his fingers. His heart was in great pain, as if it was being pulled away from the body by a force. He doubted whether his heart, which was riddled with holes, could still be normal.
's working.
There was endless silence in the car. The flat concrete road passed by quickly in the afterglow. The scenery outside the window was like time that was gone forever. We could not chase it or catch it. We could only watch it go by. Wen Xiaohui put his head against the car window.
Up, looking at it, my eyes lost focus...
After driving for two days, they finally arrived in Pengcheng. This was Wen Xiaohui's first visit to this coastal city. The humid air and summer heat wave made him feel very uncomfortable. As soon as he left the air conditioner in the car, he started to get wet.
Sweat.
The driver carried his luggage and sent him to a hotel. He knocked on the door and Li Shuo appeared in front of Wen Xiaohui.
Wen Xiaohui looked haggard, and the moment he saw Li Shuo, he had the urge to cry.
Li Shuo sighed, touched his head, and took the luggage: "Come in."
The driver nodded to Li Shuo and left. Wen Xiaohui was dragged into the guest room in a daze.
Li Shuo pressed him into a chair and asked worriedly: "Xiao Hui, are you okay?"
Wen Xiaohui closed his eyes and his voice was hoarse: "I don't know, I feel like I'm dreaming... What have I become now? A missing person? I have a home that I can't go back to, I have an identity that I don't dare to use, I have a job that I don't dare to keep, and I ran away to a
Start a new life in a strange place. I didn't do anything wrong, why should I be like a fugitive?"
Li Shuo said warmly: "Xiao Hui, no one's life is smooth sailing. Everyone has to go through unbearable hardships. It's just sooner or later. You have encountered it. Yes, but don't be discouraged. You can find a solution.
The road has to be walked, and what you need now is to calm down and start living well. Slowly you will find that life can get back on track."
"Is it really possible?" Wen Xiaohui looked at Li Shuo, "I think I have already derailed. Can I really go back?"
"Yes." Li Shuo said firmly, "I definitely can, as long as you don't give up on yourself."
Wen Xiaohui lowered his head, covered his face, and said hoarsely: "But I don't know what to do in the future."
"Don't think about anything for now. Take a rest for a while. I'll rent a house for you and take you there in the evening. When you're exhausted, you can find a job or start your own business. In short, you're so young, what's wrong with you?
This will all pass.”
Wen Xiaohui raised his head and choked with sobs: "Brother Li, thank you. You have helped me so much. I don't even know how to repay you."
Li Shuo smiled faintly: "I once carefully considered whether to help you, but then I thought about it. If I don't reach out and see you getting more and more painful, I will definitely look down on myself, so..." He shrugged, "
You're welcome."
Wen Xiaohui looked at Li Shuo's handsome and elegant smile, and his eyes heated up again. His gratitude and admiration for Li Shuo could no longer be described simply in words. At the same time, he also felt very guilty. It was not just Li Shuo who he rejected in the first place, but Li Shuo as a person.
A truly benign relationship. Unfortunately, time will never turn back.
Wen Xiaohui took a bath and slept. After Li Shuo took him to have a meal, he was sent to a community.
Li Shuo rented him a two-bedroom and one-living house. Although the area was not large, it was newly renovated and very clean and beautiful. The house was fully equipped with electrical appliances and furniture. Wen Xiaohui fell in love with this cozy little home at first glance.
It reminded him of his home in Beijing, the home he had lived in for more than twenty years.
"It's very nice here. It's surrounded by residential areas. It's convenient for eating and shopping. The transportation is also very convenient. If you are too lazy to go out, you can call and order takeout." Li Shuo opened the curtains and looked at the scenery outside the window, "The community is below.
The park is very green, and if you feel bored, you can keep a dog."
Wen Xiaohui smiled faintly: "I'm too lazy to feed myself, so I'd better stop spoiling the dog." Now he just wants to lock himself up and not contact anyone. It's best to be disconnected from the whole world, so that he can feel safe and at ease. Really
It’s hard to imagine that he used to be an outgoing, fun-loving person who would get panicked if he didn’t go out for a few days.
Li Shuo blinked at him: "You can call me if you feel bored. We are both outsiders, so we can go explore the delicious and fun things in the local area and surrounding cities together."
"Okay." Wen Xiaohui replied pretending to be interested.
Li Shuo looked at his dull eyes and felt a little uncomfortable.
Wen Xiaohui stared out the window in a daze for a while, and suddenly remembered something: "Brother Li, are you going to open a business here?"
"Well, my partner has actually been in business for more than a year and hasn't done much. After I take the stake, I will make some major rectifications and plan to open an accountant training school." Li Shuo smiled,
"I thought I could take some time off because I'm so busy with the endless work."
"How fulfilling. I used to hate working. I really hoped to sleep until I wake up naturally every day, and then money would fall from the sky." Wen Xiaohui chuckled, "later I found that there is nothing to envy if I really live this kind of life."
"If you want to work, you can work at any time. If you are afraid that your peers will recognize you, then start your own business."
"It's okay, I'm not that famous yet. I'll take a break and talk about it later."
Li Shuo introduced him to the surrounding supermarkets, subways, gyms, etc., comforted him a few words, and left.
At this time, the sun set and the living room gradually became dark. Wen Xiaohui did not turn on the light and slumped on the sofa like a boneless person. Watching the light being swallowed up by the darkness, he felt boundless loneliness, as if he was the only one left in the world.
people.
During the first two or three months when he arrived in Pengcheng, Wen Xiaohui lived in a state of confusion.
He ate and slept every day. When he was awake, he watched movies and played games. He didn't want to go out, dress up, or interact with anyone. Li Shuo was too busy with work and forced him to go out several times.
But most of the time, there was no time to care about him, and he just fell down. He couldn't find the joy of life, couldn't find the direction to move forward, and everywhere he looked was boundless gray.
Until one day, his nose hurt so much that he couldn't sleep. When he finally decided to go to the hospital, he found that he couldn't put on the pants he was wearing when he came.
