double burial

The next morning, the sun was just right.The snow melted on the street, and the wind became a bit colder. Pedestrians scrambled or shrank their necks, and all of them hurried.In such bad weather, Xiao Xinran chose to go to the company on foot.

Walking on the wide street, there were a few bodyguards pretending to be passers-by beside and behind him. Because of their outstanding temperament, they had a high rate of turning heads.

The snow-white wool coat with a stand-up collar couldn't resist the cold wind that rushed in. After a while, the body became cold from the inside out.She seemed to like this kind of coldness very much, maybe because it was similar to the temperament of a woman, or maybe because her body was so cold that it was numb, so the chill in her heart was not so obvious.

It seemed that there was no possibility of turning around, and the last path she left was also impossible.She tried to contact the woman last night, but couldn't find her.She searched all night, and the woman seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no trace of her in the sky or the earth.

The court session was scheduled for the afternoon, and in just one morning, even if a woman was found, there was nothing he could do.She has only been in office for a few days, and the five-year period is still far away. Is this going to put Qin Rong to death?Under the ravages of the biting cold wind, her tired brain finally gave up struggling and became blank.Walking forward almost unconsciously, the consciousness gradually faded from the fingertips, to the numbness of the arms, and finally disappeared from the whole body.

A pair of hands suddenly supported her, and the steady strength, with a sense of warmth, spread to the skin through the fabric.She eagerly turned around to look, but only saw the bodyguard's face with lowered eyebrows.A car was parked beside her, maybe she looked too fragile at the moment, like a porcelain figure that would break if touched, the bodyguard subconsciously lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Xiao, it's cold outside, get in the car."

She frowned slightly, disappointment spread in her heart, the bodyguard noticed her displeasure, immediately let go of her hand, and stood quietly aside.She took a few more steps, sighed softly, and turned back to the car that had been following her.

Arriving at the company a little later than usual, when he first entered the office, he saw Xiao Yuran sitting on the sofa, staring at the coffee table in a daze.

"Yu Ran, what's the matter?" She asked aloud while unbuttoning her coat.

Xiao Yuran seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Sister, you've come. Grandma's flight arrives at the airport this afternoon, and I want you to pick her up."

"Okay, I'll go." Xiao Xinran put her coat aside and replied.

"Why is it so late today?" Xiao Yuran stepped forward to help her straighten her collar, touched the pale skin of her neck by chance, retracted her hand almost reflexively under the cold stimulation, and found her hand again After scratching, I felt the temperature like ice, not at all the body temperature that ordinary people should have, so I was surprised: "Is it cold?"

Xiao Xinran pulled her hands back and said calmly, "It's not cold. Is there any news about the person you sent out?"

Xiao Yuran's expression darkened in an instant, and he shook his head helplessly: "Sister...the court will be held this afternoon, and this road will not work. Now I can only try my best to raise funds."

"En." Xiao Xinran responded lightly, without any reaction.

"Why did grandma come back suddenly? You still... want you to pick it up in person?" Xiao Yuran went to get the cup on the desk, poured a cup of hot water for her, and handed it to her in doubt.She took it, took a sip, and the scalding drops of water slid down her icy body, burning her internal organs.

"Maybe, miss me?" She tilted her head, her bloodless lips pursed into a faint smile, but this rare joke fell into Xiao Yuran's ears, but it was a great irony.

"Shall I go with you this afternoon?"

"No, the court will be held in the afternoon. You will attend the hearing on behalf of Qin Rong. Come back and tell me the situation." Xiao Xinran put down her glass, turned to sit at the table, looked up and said, "If you have nothing else to do, go get busy, I have my own arrangements."

Xiao Yuran showed a worried look on his face, seeing that she was busy, he had no choice but to walk out.

Xiao Xinran at the desk was not in a hurry to work, but picked up the phone, swiped open the screen, and found a number from the contact list that she almost never dialed. After hesitating for a moment, she held her breath and pressed the dial button.

Waiting bells sounded in my ear, one... two... hoping to rise and climb a little bit, and my heartbeat speeded up unconsciously.After five beeps, the phone was hung up.

Dial again.The waiting time was extremely long, and every second was more anxious.She should have dialed this number a long time ago, and should have started waiting like this long ago, instead of looking for an illusory figure in the cold wind without direction, looking for it all night.

When the hope faded a little bit, the phone was connected without warning.The tense atmosphere reached its highest point in an instant, and she coughed lightly after deliberation, trying to suppress the trembling of her voice, and asked, "Where are you?"

The other end of the phone did not speak, but there was a heavy panting, mixed with indescribable pain, which seemed to be from grinding teeth under severe pain, desperate to the extreme, and the sound was so exciting that people couldn't bear to listen to it.Her heart trembled, and she couldn't help but raise her voice a little, and said word by word: "I ask you, where are you?"

"Xinran..." The woman's nostalgic whisper came into her ears through the receiver, as light and ethereal as a cicada's wing, but with a hint of joy in it, as if she had waited for a long time, looking for something for a long time, and finally Was found by her.Hearing that satisfied and melancholy tone, she was in a trance for a while.

Just as he was about to say something, there was a muffled sound from the receiver, and he judged from the sound that it was...

Her face changed suddenly, and the hand holding the phone trembled, and the phone fell to the table with a crisp sound, and was immediately grabbed back by her, and she almost yelled into the receiver: "I I'm here! Where have you been? Talk! What's wrong...what's wrong..."

There was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone, but there was no voice.

The mobile phone in his hand, the cup on the table, and the documents all fell freely uncontrollably, causing chaos when he fell to the ground.The secretary barged in upon hearing the sound, followed by the bodyguards. After a while, Xiao Yuran who had just left turned back, and Yan Xun was also alarmed. A group of people stood in front of her, but she seemed to be unable to see them anymore.The eyes pass through layers of barriers, focusing on people who don't know where they are, but they can't see clearly what they want to see anyway, just like living in the present and never seeing the future.

She sometimes felt that she could control everything, at least everything about Qin Rong, but she was completely defeated by a conspiracy.He thought he could control everything about himself, but he was completely defeated in front of one person.In the end, all she can do is to deceive herself with a little ridiculous self-esteem, she can forget, she can let go, it doesn't matter, everything is not important.

You don't know how important it is until you're about to lose it.

A pair of soft and warm hands touched her temples and massaged gently, bringing her back to reality.Xiao Yuran's soft voice slowly rang in his ears: "Sister, you are tired, don't think so much, everything will be resolved."

"It will always be resolved?" She raised her eyes suddenly and asked.The beautiful eyes are smudged with water vapor, it turns out that she is as strong as her, and she will cry and be afraid.

Xiao Yuran was shocked by her desperate gaze and the red corners of her eyes. She didn't know how to comfort her for a while, but she lowered her eyes and wiped her tears, and then raised her head to regain her firmness.It turned out that she was as strong as her, even if she was afraid or shed tears, she knew how to adjust quickly and face reality.

"Yan Xun stayed, and the others went out. Yu Ran notified the driver to pick up the car and wait for me in the garage in 5 minutes." She made arrangements, and everyone left except Yan Xun.Although Xiao Yuran was worried, he didn't want to go against her wishes, so he had to go out.

"Come here, according to this call record, help me locate the other party's location, hurry up." She stood up, motioned Yan Xun to sit in front of her computer, walked to the French window, and stood down with her arms around her.

There were crackling keyboard sounds behind her, and occasional clicks of the mouse. She was so anxious that she didn't even notice that her lower lip was bitten and bleeding.Outside the window is clearly the scene of the first clear sky after the snow, but there seems to be a layer of blood mist in front of the eyes, refracting the world into a terrifying scarlet.The sound of the bullet piercing through the flesh rang in my ears repeatedly, and my heart ached, as if it had been cut by a dagger thousands of times.

She wanted to see women, people when she was alive, and corpses when she died.Extra waiting, every minute and every second is suffering.

"Mr. Xiao, I found it. It's in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. It's just that the factory is very large, and the exact coordinates can't be determined." Yan Xun got up and replied.

Xiao Xinran turned around suddenly, walked over in a few steps, casually wiped the blood on her lower lip, picked up the mobile phone on the table and said, "Go get the gun, then come to the garage to find me, follow me."

As he was leaving, the secretary barged in, with an overjoyed expression, and excitedly said: "Mr. Xiao, just now the court heard that the plaintiff has withdrawn the lawsuit, and Xue has the right to pursue his false accusation..."

Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded in her mind, and the woman's faint smile and the words "have a good rest" that night were slowly laid out in front of her eyes like a picture scroll, and explained together with the beginning, succession, transformation, and unity, which made her wake up like a dream.She should have expected it... She should have expected it last night, maybe everything would not be so late, so painful.

After rushing out of the office, she covered her face with her hands, the hot liquid scorched down and covered the skirt of her clothes.Some people cry for venting, others for joy, but hers are for sacrifice.The only obsession of paying homage to oneself is so easily shattered, and the object of paying homage to the person who said he would pay it back in his life just like this goes against his promise and leaves.

Yan Xun drove the car, shuttling back and forth in the urban traffic, speeding like the wind.Xiao Xinran sat in the back row, looking out the window with empty eyes, trying to catch the black shadow.Knowing that it was impossible, I still had hope in my heart, hoping that the woman would stand at the next intersection, smile faintly at her through the busy traffic, and say "sorry for the long wait".

She had waited for too long, from dusk to dawn, but she only waited for news of pain and despair.For three years, she had waited too long to get away from the woman's hatred little by little.After finally waiting from hatred to deep love, she was told that heaven and man are separated forever... This is too cruel, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never believe it.

But after thinking about it, fate always seems to be so cruel to her, and she has no choice but to bear it.

A severe headache came up, she opened the car window slightly, and the cold air squeezed into the warm car, making the best anesthetic.It's cold and tired, and I really want to just close my eyes and have nothing to worry about.

Her hands were still tightly clutching the phone, the screen was wet with cold sweat from her palms, and a string of numbers was quietly arranged, which was her last hope to find a woman.Before finding her, any emotion is superfluous, maybe there should be no joy or sorrow, and face the final sentence.
