The Emperor of Hell's Green Plum Pillow She Escaped Again
Chapter 24: Future Boss vs. Childhood Neighbor
"Are you guys okay?"
Min Ying rushed forward and stared at Bai Shuiru, who was wearing a men's suit jacket and half hiding beside Hei Huomian. His seemingly routine inquiry could not conceal his genuine concern.
Hei Huomian glanced at Min Ying and replied, "It's okay."
He then looked at the elevator entrance behind him and saw half of Liao Mingzhe's body lying on the ground.
"That's right, Liao Mingzhe has already reported to the underworld."
Why does the boss sound so proud, as if Liao Mingzhe will become one of his one million employees?
Bai Shuiru's sense of crisis during the probation period immediately emerged, and she quickly looked at Hei Huomian, blinked her puppy eyes, bared her teeth and smiled, and thanked him solemnly:
"Boss, thank you for coming to rescue me just now!"
Hearing this, the man turned his head and looked her up and down, "Are you really okay?"
The little girl nodded repeatedly, turned around to show that she was unharmed, and bleated with a smile.
Hei Huomian's tightly pursed lips relaxed into a curve with both ends slightly upturned. He nodded, "That's good."
Bai Shuiru was about to turn her head to look at the elevator behind her, but Hei Huomian immediately blocked her sight with his hand.
"Girls, don't look at such unclean things."
The man's gentle voice of dissuasion came to Bai Shuiru's ears along with the cool night breeze, causing her heart to tremble inexplicably, but she subconsciously reached out and touched her ears.
So itchy.
"It's fine."
Bai Shuiru said this, but turned around obediently, lowered his head slightly, chanted a Buddhist mantra in his heart, and sighed secretly:
Liao Mingzhe, Liao Mingzhe, I warned you to stop before it’s too late...
I will recite the "Jizo Sutra" for you when I go back. After you are sentenced and endure torture in the underworld, you will enter the Tao and be reborn according to the cause and effect of this life.
Bai Shuiru felt someone patting her shoulder gently. She looked up and happened to meet Hei Huomian's eyes behind sunglasses. His eyes were as gentle and caring as the stars shining through the layers of clouds in the night sky.
The little girl pursed her lips, smiled back and nodded slightly.
Min Ying was frowning and pursing his lips, silently savoring the interaction between the two men as if no one was around, when he was asked by his subordinates to check Liao Mingzhe's body.
At this time, the police/government backup departments arrived, either to survey the scene, record statements, or treat injuries and bandages. Against the backdrop of red and blue warning lights, the long-abandoned unfinished building and the air stained by the night all exuded an exceptionally busy atmosphere.
After Min Ying arranged the work, he returned to Bai Shuiru and explained apologetically:
"We found their whereabouts through the traffic monitoring system and rushed here immediately. Sorry, I scared you..."
As Min Ying was speaking, he noticed that Bai Shuiru was staring at him without blinking, and his expression immediately turned worried.
"Did you just realize where you were injured? Or were you scared?"
Min Ying quickly turned around and looked at the assistant who was coming towards them and preparing to take the statement, "Contact a psychologist immediately..."
"Min, Brother Min Ying! You are Brother Min Ying, right?!"
Bai Shuiru suddenly took two steps forward, looked at Min Ying and called out in surprise.
Hei Huomian's face had already turned from cloudy to gloomy, and his black eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
Min Ying kept telling his assistant with a smile on his face, then he looked back at the little girl in front of him and smiled:
"Xiao Shuiru, you finally recognized me."
"...Haha," Bai Shuiru replied with a wry smile, "Brother has changed so much that I can't recognize him."
Just now I remembered that my original self had such a neighbor brother... huh?
Why does it seem that... the original body still...
Seeing this, Li You quickly covered his lips with his hands and approached Hei Huo Mian to report:
"I forgot to tell you that Min Ying and Miss Bai are childhood sweethearts and neighbors..."
Hei Huomian immediately turned his head and glanced at his assistant. Although the peach blossom eyes behind the sunglasses flashed a blue-black light quickly and faintly, it still made Li You tremble and take a half step back.
Li You suddenly realized, lowered his eyes and swallowed, then stepped forward again and corrected:
"They grew up together... no, when their parents were young..."
Li You carefully observed his boss's changing expression and spoke slowly, word by word:
"The work unit allocated two adjacent houses to the two families..."
This man and my little brush have been childhood sweethearts, so what am I?
No, I haven't confirmed that she is my little brush yet.
"Anything else?" Hei Huomian almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out the question.
Li You swallowed, nodded, then shook his head, glanced quickly at his boss, and quickly lowered his eyebrows.
"Is it true or not?" Hei Huomian's tone began to harden.
The detectives working around them all looked in their direction at the same time, then took a few steps away for unknown reasons.
Li You took two steps back due to his boss's unrestrained oppressive aura; he could guarantee that if there were no police officers surrounding him, he would have already knelt down.
"Miss Bai, Bai, Miss Bai..."
"Brother Min Ying, this is my boss," Bai Shuiru interrupted at the right time, saving Li You, whose legs were trembling.
Li You let out a sigh of relief, and silently retreated, and retreated again, until he was out of the war zone.
Bai Shuiru raised her hand to point to Hei Huomian and corrected him: "No, he is only my future boss now."
If I say something wrong and piss off Heishemian, maybe he will extend my probation period!
When Hei Huomian heard this, his face suddenly became cloudy and a storm was about to come.
The girl looked at Min Ying with a smile, "I'm still in the probation period."
Min Ying noticed that the suit jacket Bai Shuiru was wearing was exactly the same as the one Hei Huomian was wearing. He looked at Hei Huomian and gave a polite smile.
"Shui Ru, you must be frightened. Have you forgotten that a few hours ago, I led a team to Sucong Manor to record your statements."
"Oh, yes, yes!"
Bai Shuiru stuck out her tongue, patted her forehead, and laughed at herself:
"I'm not scared, I'm hungry."
As they were talking, two detectives came forward with notebooks, ready to take statements from Bai Shuiru and Hei Huomian respectively.
Min Ying took the notebook from one of his subordinates and assigned the work: "I will record Miss Bai, and you go to record Mr. Hei."
Hei Huomian silently followed a detective ten steps away, but always kept the petite figure within his sight.
Ten minutes later, after Bai Shuiru finished recording his confession and signed it quickly, he subconsciously looked for Hei Huomian.
“——Boss, you don’t look well, is that right…”
Bai Shuiru tilted her head slightly to check Hei Huomian's expression by the flashing red and blue warning lights, then she tiptoed close to his ear and whispered:
"Are you afraid that ghosts will suddenly appear?"
As she spoke, she looked around vigilantly, and after confirming, she shook her head: "It's okay, there are no ghosts around here."
Hei Huomian cooperated by turning sideways, and heard the soft and caring voice of the little girl. The faint rhythm of the girl's breathing with the fragrance of green grass brushed against his ear. The depression in his heart immediately dissipated two or three points, and the line of his lips relaxed, but he immediately pursed it back to the previous emotionless straight line.
He cleared his throat, raised his hand to glance at his watch, and looked at Bai Shuiru.
"Is it working time now?"
"Ah! Yes, yes, it's working hours now."
Bai Shuiru, a good employee who loves his job and is dedicated to his work, immediately turned around and looked at Min Ying who was communicating with his subordinates about work.
"Brother Min Ying, my future boss is a little tired, can I take him back first?"
"of course can."
Min Ying personally escorted the two downstairs and came to Hei Huomian's car.
Hei Huomian personally opened the back door of the car for Bai Shuiru, closed the door after she got in, and turned to face Min Ying.
