Chapter 100 Gentle Means
In the early morning of winter, the cold is always a bit stronger than usual.
When Yu Heng woke up, he didn't call the nurse, but got out of bed by himself.
The moment my fingertips touched the edge of the bed, I touched a strange object.
He reached down and with a little force hooked the thing out.
In the dim light of the night lamp, a black object the size of a Bluetooth headset lay in the palm of his hand, flashing a dazzling red light.
He pondered for a moment, then took out his cell phone and called Yu Zhi.
At this moment, Yu Zhi had just walked out of the warm dessert shop.
The night breeze blew by, and her slightly curly long hair swayed slightly with her steps, and the ends of her hair swept across her slender shoulders.
There was a hint of surprise in her voice when she picked up the phone: "Brother? Why are you calling at this time? What's the matter?"
Yu Heng stroked the little thing in his hand and said firmly, "Did you put this thing under my bed?"
Yu Zhi didn't expect him to find out so quickly, so she stopped hiding it: "Yes, I made the anti-tracking device myself."
The Pei family's mercenaries are guarding the hospital, so there is no need to worry about Yu Heng's personal safety, but they are the best at manipulating things secretly behind the scenes.
She must nip all hidden dangers in the bud.
Yu Heng casually threw the object up and caught it steadily. He didn't dwell on it anymore and changed the subject: "What's going on between you and Pei Yuezhou?"
"As you can see, it's a cold war."
Yu Heng's usual nonchalant expression disappeared, and his tone became more serious. "You can fool Pei Yuezhou with this, but do you think I will believe it?"
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the line.
He almost gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't tell me, do you really think I can't guess? Yu Zhi, are you so bold now that you dare to do anything?"
After a long while, Yu Zhi's voice came again, with a hint of pleading: "Brother, don't tell A Yue. If he knew, he would definitely not agree."
Yu Heng tightened his grip on the phone.
Last time in the west of the city, Pei Yuezhou’s out-of-control appearance was still clearly flashing before my eyes.
He suppressed his emotions and asked back: "Then why do you think I will agree? This matter is not something you can decide alone! Come to me right now, I will call Pei Yuezhou over, and we will discuss it together..."
"Brother." Yu Zhi interrupted him gently, her voice unusually calm. "Why involve him in this kind of thing?"
Isn’t the case in the west of the city clear enough?
The other party wanted not only her and Yu Heng's lives, but also the lives of everyone who had anything to do with the Yu family.
There was no way she was going to drag him into danger.
Yu Heng fell silent for a moment.
"I know my limits. Besides, I've been setting up this scheme for a long time and am about to close it. You can't let me fail at the last moment, can you?"
Yu Heng wanted to say something, but there was suddenly no sound on the other end of the phone, and Yu Zhi hung up directly.
His face instantly darkened and he called back immediately, but all he heard from the receiver was a cold "The user you dialed is powered off."
The next second, Yu Heng's shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably because he was angry.
**
As New Year’s Eve approaches, the streets are already filled with red lanterns, the bright colors emitting warm light in the twilight.
The cold wind in the evening brought down broken snow, and in a blink of an eye, the road surface turned white.
Yu Zhi walked alone from the bustling street into the old city.
She was tall and slender, and even a dark coat could not hide her exquisite figure. Her slightly curly long hair swayed gently in the wind, and the ends of her hair brushed across her neck, which was so white that it was almost translucent.
Under my fingertips, a light spot on the tablet kept flashing somewhere on the map.
She looked around and her eyebrows couldn't help but frown.
The tracked location is indeed here.
Where are the people?
The old alley before me was dark and long, like an abyss with no bottom to be seen.
Yu Zhi pursed her plump lips, used her fingertips to call up her email on the screen, and sent it to the anonymous account.
[Since you have invited me here, why are you still reluctant to show up? ]
Xiaoshui's tone was filled with excitement: [Here he comes! He's out!]
As soon as the voice fell, she looked up.
A tall man wearing a mask slowly walked out from behind a vending machine not far away.
The streetlight between the two people had poor contact, and the halo flickered, as if it would be extinguished by the cold wind at any time.
The unstable light fell on Yu Zhi's delicate facial features, which should have been a stunning beauty at first glance, but at this moment, it was filled with coldness.
Her eyes darkened slightly.
Finally he showed up.
The hand hidden behind his back was quietly clenched into a fist, and the knuckles turned white.
But before she could move, the person opposite her suddenly took a step back, as if sensing danger, and turned around and ran deeper into the alley.
Yu Zhi frowned and was about to catch up when a motorcycle suddenly came out from behind and brushed past the corner of her clothes.
She turned around in surprise and happened to see Song Nuan's profile leaning on the car seat, the lines on her face were extremely tense.
[Oh my god! Why is she here?!]
The motorcycle was like a ghost in the dark night, tightly biting the man's taillights.
Xiaoshui's voice was full of confusion: [Could that person also be included in her mission? ]
"Now is not the time to think about that."
Yu Zhi stared at the direction where the two people disappeared. Just as her fingertips touched her phone to call a taxi, dazzling car lights suddenly lit up behind her, and the sound of more than a dozen supercar engines came rushing towards her with the cold wind.
She turned around subconsciously and had to squint.
Under the strong light, her already fair skin appears even more translucent, and even the shadow of her eyelashes is clearly visible.
The supercars were steadily arranged in a circle, with the unique Bangs logo printed on the body.
One of the car doors opened, and Lin Zhi, dressed in a black suit, got out with a faint smile on his face: "Madam, good evening."
Yu Zhi took a step forward, her voice filled with urgency: "Lin Zhi, you've arrived just in time, quickly send someone in that direction to chase after them!"
Lin Zhi didn't move, but just maintained a smile: "Madam, it's cold in winter, my husband asked me to take you home as soon as possible."
Yu Zhi was completely unprepared for them until a cloud of fog rushed towards her. She then realized something was wrong, but her consciousness had already quickly sunk.
Lin Zhi and his subordinates hurried forward to support her and carefully carried her into the car.
Looking at her frowning brows even though she was unconscious, Lin Zhi felt a little guilty.
Madam, you really can’t blame me for this. I’m just a hard-working worker. If you want to blame someone, blame your husband.
After Lin Zhi placed Yu Zhi in the back seat, he deliberately raised the temperature in the car and took out a blanket to gently cover her.
The broken snow was still floating outside the car window, and it instantly turned into water marks when it fell on the window, blurring the warm light of the red lanterns outside.
He sat in the passenger seat and called Pei Yuezhou.
Although he knew Yu Zhi would not wake up, Lin Zhi subconsciously lowered his voice and whispered into the phone, "Sir, the person has been picked up and is on his way back."
Pei Yuezhou's voice came from the other end of the phone. Lin Zhi's originally relaxed expression gradually froze. He frowned slightly and replied, "Yes, the people from Organization X took action first. Judging from the posture, they are determined to bite... Understood, we will hold our ground for now..."
The other party first threw out a bunch of evidence, drawing their attention to Song Zhiyu.
Now he is hiding in the dark and taking the initiative to attack the person behind the scenes.
This desperate look made him unable to guess.
Could it be that Organization X wasn't really targeting the Pei or Yu families? They just happened to want to catch the mastermind behind the scenes?
Lin Zhi was puzzled, but before he could think about it carefully, Pei Yuezhou's voice came again. He quickly came back to his senses: "Madam is fine, it's just... we used some mild medicine."
Lin Zhi stole a glance at the rearview mirror.
Yu Zhi lay on her side, her slightly curly long hair scattered around her neck. Even with her eyes closed, her facial features were still eye-catching, but her face looked a little pale due to the effects of the medicine.
"Yes, don't worry, I'll be watching over it myself, nothing will go wrong."
When the convoy reached the cross-river bridge, the snow became heavier.
The supercar moves smoothly through the wind and snow.
The city outside the car window gradually lit up with thousands of lights, and the atmosphere of New Year's Eve became more and more intense, but there was a sense of depression in the car.
Lin Zhi couldn't help but sigh.
I hope the husband’s behavior doesn’t make his wife angry.
