Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Fang Shimian raised his head, his cheek...

Fang Shimian raised his head, the tears on his cheeks had not yet dried.

He saw Huo Jun's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

It turns out that the Huo family lives in Building 6.

"You look so pitiful." Huo Jun stared at Fang Shimian, his dark eyes lurking with unspeakable desires. He smiled like a gentleman, "Nice to meet you again, Mr. Fang."

At least it was someone he knew, Fang Shimian breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, he did not think the corridor was dark, but the light in the house was too bright, making the bottomless corridors on both sides seem gloomy as an abyss. Fang Shimian could not resist his natural tendency to seek profit and avoid harm. He carefully avoided the pattern on the carpet and followed Huo Jun inside.

The room is very big. As soon as you enter, you will see the reception room. The inside is covered by black curtains and there seems to be stairs leading down. I don’t know what they are used for.

In the reception room, Huo Zhongshan was sitting calmly on the single sofa in the main seat, flipping through a document in his hand, with half a cup of hot tea still left on the table.

Seeing Fang Shimian coming in, he closed the document and put it on the small table beside him. The moment he raised his eyes, his gaze fell on Fang Shimian's face. His face darkened slightly, and he turned his head to look at Huo Jun with a rather stern look, "Huo Jun."

Before Huo Jun could speak, Fang Shimian reacted, rubbed his face fiercely a few times, and replied hurriedly: "It's not him."

Huo Zhongshan did not look at Fang Shimian. His face was stern, his brows were slightly depressed, and he had a lazy, unconscious sense of oppression.

Obviously, Fang Shimian realized that his explanation was useless and had a counterproductive effect. He clutched the corner of his clothes and looked at Huo Jun apologetically.

Although Fang Shimian didn't have a very good impression of Huo Jun, and even had a little aversion that he himself didn't even notice, this didn't mean that he could remain indifferent when seeing Huo Jun being scolded for his problems.

Huo Jun tilted his head to look at Fang Shimian, and the smile in his eyes became more genuine. He slowly instructed: "Mr. Huo is asking questions, and children must not interrupt."

After saying that, he straightened his back and said to Huo Zhongshan, "It wasn't me who did it. You looked so pitiful right after you entered the room. If you want to vent your anger, take it out on your group of stupid bodyguards. Don't scare the rabbit in the room."

Hearing this, Huo Zhongshan calmly drank a sip of tea and said calmly; "Oh? Really?"

Huo Jun understood what his second brother meant. He leaned back on the sofa and snorted coldly, "Everything should be based on mutual consent. I won't force you to buy or sell anything."

Fang Shimian was confused, but seeing that the atmosphere in the room had eased, he mustered up the courage to ask, "Hello, the USB drive has been given to the person in black downstairs. Can I leave now?"

"Why are you crying?" Huo Zhongshan put down the teacup and this time asked Fang Shimian the question.

Fang Shimian was a little nervous, and he subconsciously straightened his back, as if he was answering a teacher's question in class, "I have never been here before. I thought I saw a ghost downstairs just now. I... cry when I am excited. There is no other reason."

Huo Jun was almost amused to death by Fang Shimian. He originally thought that the bodyguard downstairs was being rude, but he didn't expect the reason to be so funny.

Fang Shimian originally thought it was nothing, but Huo Jun laughed so loudly that he felt a little embarrassed. His back couldn't straighten anymore and he slowly bent down with his head drooping, looking listless.

Huo Zhongshan was actually stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, a smile appeared in his eyes, but he quickly hid it and said, "There really aren't many people here, so it's normal to be afraid."

Huo Jun raised his eyebrows and glanced at Huo Zhongshan. After a snort of laughter, he didn't say anything. He just looked at Fang Shimian and said, "There's no need to use those wooden stakes he kept at home to cover up. I asked them to bring you up. I guess they captured you, right?"

Fang Shimian glared at Huo Jun. It turned out that he was the culprit. His cold tone as if he wanted to kill someone, and the fact that they were in such a dark place, almost scared him to death.

Fang Shimian was cursing in his heart when an agreement suddenly appeared on the table in front of him. Before he could take a good look at it, Huo Jun suddenly came over, tutted in dissatisfaction, put his hand on the agreement, and frowned at Huo Zhongshan, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'll tease him again."

Huo Zhongshan raised his eyes and looked at him calmly.

Fang Shimian turned his head to look at Huo Jun, confused. Who was he teasing? Didn't he come up here to hand in the surveillance video?

Huo Jun looked a little annoyed, but he suppressed it and sat back in his seat.

"Confidentiality agreement." Huo Zhongshan said in a calm tone, and casually picked up a pen and placed it in front of Fang Shimian.

Keep it confidential?

What does he have to keep secret?

"We went to Shanghai Wetland Park this morning." Huo Zhongshan said calmly as if he was discussing today's dinner.

Wetland Park.

Fang Shimian's head buzzed, as if a time bomb in his brain suddenly exploded. All the sounds and scenes that he had planned to forget deep in his memory came flooding out. His mind went blank for a moment, and then his face turned red and bloodshot at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fang Shimian was horrified, his worldview seemed to be shattered. He re-examined the beast in front of him who was pretending to be a human being, and choked up and said, "That person... is it, is it you?"

Huo Zhongshan paused slightly, glanced at Huo Jun who was sitting next to Fang Shimian without expression, and sat back, obviously not wanting to say more.

Fang Shimian suddenly realized something and immediately turned around to look at Huo Jun, clenching his teeth, "It's... it's you!"

Huo Jun seemed to have anticipated Fang Shimian's reaction, so he simply gave up and nodded indifferently, "Yes, it's me."

What kind of game is it that is decided by both parties? What kind of personal preferences are innate? Huo Jun looked at Fang Shimian's resentful expression and was unwilling to explain. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Sign it. Leave your card number. You can leave after leaving your card number."

Fang Shimian glared at him with red eyes.

"Why...why did you call me a stray dog?"

Fang Shimian was actually a little angry. It wasn't that he wanted to eavesdrop. He had clearly already run away. He didn't intentionally disturb them, nor did he shout for everyone to know. Yet, he was still called a stray dog ​​when he left.

A stray dog ​​is a dog without a home.

This is a word that really makes Fang Shi Mian feel sad.

Huo Jun was slightly stunned, then slowly sat up from the sofa, staring at Fang Shimian intently, and asked uncertainly, "Are you angry about this?"

Fang Shimian nodded seriously, his eyes unconsciously starting to sour again, feeling that he was a loser, and actually had planned to forget about it...

Wouldn't that be too fussy?

"I thought you couldn't hear me. I'm sorry. But I needed to give you some comfort in that situation. I just said it casually. I didn't mean to scold you."

This didn't sound like nonsense. Fang Shimian rarely had the experience of being apologized to and explained to.

Small round drops of water fell onto his pants. Fang Shimian wiped them off, pretended to be stiff for a while, lowered his head and looked left and right, and said vaguely; "Forget it, I forgive you."

Huo Jun's Adam's apple rolled, and after pinching his head, he stopped staring at Fang Shimian, turned around and loosened his tie a little.

Fang Shimian took the document, glanced at it, turned to the end, signed his name, and handed it to Huo Zhongshan.

"Sign without reading it," Huo Zhongshan paused for a moment and said in a slower tone, "It's a bad habit."

Fang Shimian uttered a low "oh", rubbed his sore eyes, and stood up, "I'm leaving."

Huo Jun asked: "Card number."

Fang Shimian pretended not to hear, but still made a request, "Can I go out through the side door of Building 6? I want to buy something before going back to the monitoring room."

Huo Jun stood up and picked up his clothes from the armrest of the sofa. "What do you want to buy? I'll give it to you."

There was nothing to buy, but my legs were sore and I didn't want to run another two kilometers in the dark and deserted forest. Fang Shimian maintained his grim facial expression.

"I'll ask someone to send him back." Huo Zhongshan put away the document and placed it on the round table beside him. He tapped the table lightly with his fingertips and said to Huo Jun, "You wait here."

Huo Jun turned his eyes away and sat back.

Huo Zhongshan stood up and took Fang Shimian out.

Fang Shimian followed Huo Zhongshan obediently and found that there was no one on this floor at a glance. Even the waiter who was guarding the elevator was gone.

The pattern I saw at the door of that room just now was a set, which was translated by later scholars as "sacrifice". I wonder if there are other strange patterns on these soft carpets.

As a result, he was not paying attention and bumped into Huo Zhongshan on the back.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Huo!" Fang Shimian quickly took two steps back. He felt as if the sky was falling. He just felt that he was extremely unlucky today, as if he had been bewitched by some evil spell.

Huo Zhongshan lowered his eyes to glance at him and said calmly, "Don't be afraid of me."

Fang Shimian lowered his head and nodded like a chick pecking at rice to indicate that he heard it.

"What is your relationship with Zhu Ze now?"

Fang Shimian raised his head suddenly and met the man's dark eyes. There was no emotion in his eyes, and it seemed like a normal inquiry.

"Brother Zhu... is just a brother. I have known him for a long time."

In fact, Fang Shimian didn’t know how to describe the relationship between himself and Zhu Ze. It’s not quite right to say that they are good brothers, nor are they good friends or buddies. After Zhu Ze moved away during high school, the two of them just chatted on WeChat, and video chat was only a rare occasion. Even now when they meet again, after Zhu Ze took Fang Shimian out twice, it was not known whether it was because of busy work or some other reason, the two of them returned to chatting on WeChat as before.

In short, they are not very close, but they are also within the social circle that Fang Shimian is more familiar with.

Huo Zhongshan did not ask any more questions. When the elevator opened, the bodyguard inside had been waiting for a long time. However, he did not take Fang Shimian away immediately. Instead, he reported to Huo Zhongshan, "There is a Mr. Xu outside looking for Mr. Fang."

Huo Zhongshan nodded slightly and looked at Fang Shimian, "Do we need someone to take you there?"

Fang Shimian quickly shook his head, "No, no, no."

The elevator door closed. The bodyguard was silent for a moment and then said, "Mr. Fang, I apologize for my rude behavior outside just now. I'm sorry."

This was the second apology he had received today. Fang Shimian found it a little magical because in most cases he was the one who made mistakes and then kept apologizing.

Because it was dark and she was crying so hard, Fang Shimian didn't remember which bodyguard it was, but he still answered seriously, "It's okay, it's nothing, I was just a little scared by that road."

The elevator door opened, the bodyguard fell silent, handed the phone back to Fang Shimian, and led him out.

There were two bodyguards in black blocking Xu Long's way. He was big and strong, and his curses were harsh. Although the two bodyguards did not attack him, the atmosphere looked very bad.

"Brother Long!" Fang Shimian shouted loudly, and quickly ran out to pull Xu Long away. The bodyguard who had stopped them then disappeared into the darkness again.

"Why did it take so long? Didn't you say you would be back after sending them outside?"

"This road is too scary to walk alone. I just went to the toilet inside."

"You don't answer my phone calls or reply to my WeChat messages. I'm so worried about you, you bastard."

"I like silence, you know."

“…”

Besides, Huo Jun, who was left alone in the room, also felt something was wrong. At first, he thought that he had offended the King of Hell again, but then he thought carefully that it was only a matter of a word for Huo Zhongshan to ask someone to send Fang Shimian away, so why did he have to go out and say it in person?

I was planning to go out and take a look.

Oh no, the King of Hell is back.
