Chapter 410 The Notebook is Here, I'll Take You to Get It
Apart from the sound of rain, the only sound was the pounding of his heart.
How can I get out of this predicament?
Huo Tingzhou's eyes wandered around.
What is that thing that is blocked in the inconspicuous corner?
Huo Tingzhou looked at the place where the rain flowed, and saw some black oil floating on it.
kerosene?
What if it's a big barrel of kerosene?
There were some thoughts in Huo Tingzhou's eyes.
You absolutely cannot burn down someone else’s house, but what can you burn when it’s raining?
The rain hit his shoulders through the hole in the coal shed, and Huo Tingzhou carefully fastened the rope of the coal shed again.
Then slowly moved to the kerosene barrel.
The barrel is a bit worn out.
When he unscrewed the lid of the barrel, kerosene leaked out.
Chaos had to be created, and fast.
But without fire, everything is in vain.
Huo Tingzhou was a little anxious. At this moment, he suddenly saw a small bag in the corner, which should have been left by the coal seller.
He walked over, opened it, and found matches inside.
I was so excited that I didn't even notice my feet.
With a "gurgle" sound, a small jar made an unusually harsh sound in the rain.
"This way! There's movement in the coal shed!"
Footsteps suddenly approached, and the gurgling sound of cans being kicked over could be clearly heard.
Huo Tingzhou felt like his heart had stopped beating.
Pick up the can and pour it onto the ground.
The black liquid meandered into a line on the muddy ground, extending to the place where he had just avoided.
Huo Tingzhou looked at the person chasing him and struck a match.
Throw it to the ground.
Sparks fell on the slippery kerosene, and with a muffled "puff" sound, a blue-green fire rose from the kerosene line at the door and burned in the rain.
The man in black was frightened by the sudden fire and stepped back.
Seeing this, Huo Tingzhou quickly limped towards the other direction.
The fire also attracted the attention of the residents.
“Fire! Fire!”
Everyone started beating drums and gongs and carrying basins and buckets to put out the fire.
The man looked at the place where Huo Tingzhou disappeared and curled the corners of his lips.
Huo Tingzhou felt that no one was chasing him and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, no damage was caused and they managed to escape.
He turned around and quickly found a small path to go to the Huo family.
But he never expected that when he turned around he would meet a pair of dark eyes smiling at him.
Huo Tingzhou staggered immediately.
The person who followed Shen Qingran.
How could Huo Tingzhou miss this opportunity? He chased after him without thinking.
"Stop!" Huo Tingzhou ran very fast.
I didn't care about the severe pain in my legs.
"stop."
The rain blurred my vision.
Whenever he thought that this person was the one who followed Shen Qingran, he gritted his teeth.
Can persist.
He would never admit his mistake to that man.
The man took many detours and entered a small courtyard.
The alleys became narrower and narrower, and the walls of the courtyards on both sides were particularly high.
It was raining and the wind was howling hard.
The wind made Huo Tingzhou shiver.
"Damn it."
Where did you go?
Huo Tingzhou kicked the puddle angrily.
There was a splash of water.
"Are you looking for me?"
Suddenly there was a voice behind me.
Huo Tingzhou turned his head and looked at the man behind him.
Wearing a black windbreaker, she was staring at him and smiling.
"How did you find me?"
The man thought that his tracking of Shen Qingran was perfect and would not be discovered at all.
But he didn't expect to be discovered by Huo Tingzhou.
So he was a little impatient to find out.
"Who are you?" Huo Tingzhou looked at the man's face. He was sure that he didn't know this person.
The man smiled, his expression somewhat grim.
"What do you guess?" Huo Tingzhou's pupils contracted violently when he looked at what the other person's hand was holding. A needle?
He stepped back subconsciously.
"It's okay if you don't want to tell me. We can talk it over when we get back."
Huo Tingzhou turned around and wanted to run.
The man didn't give him a chance at all.
Caught up directly.
Grab him by the collar.
With a soft "puff" sound, the needle was inserted directly into Huo Tingzhou's neck.
Huo Tingzhou suddenly felt a feeling of numbness spreading rapidly, and his whole body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead.
My vision slowly became more and more blurry.
Then his eyes would roll back and he would faint.
After a long while, two men came running over.
"I'm sorry, Team Leader. It's our fault that he got away."
The man looked at the two men unhappily, "Take the person back, or I'll kill you if you lose him again."
"Got it, definitely not again."
The two men felt very uncomfortable after being scolded by the man, and kicked the unconscious Huo Tingzhou as a way of venting their anger.
"Okay, stop hitting him. He's a living dead now."
"Take the person back quickly, otherwise he will be discovered later."
The man spat.
"unlucky."
——
When I woke up again.
Huo Tingzhou found himself tied to a worn wooden chair.
The air was filled with damp, moldy smells and a faint smell of gasoline. There were leaking wooden beams overhead. A few rays of light filtered through the cracks in the broken tiles, illuminating the debris on the ground - discarded tires, rusty wires, and several iron barrels with the words "Industrial Alcohol" printed on them. This seemed to be an abandoned warehouse.
He frowned, feeling pain all over his body, including his neck.
Huo Tingzhou struggled for a while, and his wrists were hurt by the rope.
Just as I was about to move, I heard a voice coming from behind.
"Awake?" The sinister voice startled him and he quickly turned around to look behind him.
He saw a man with a cigarette in his mouth, twirling a knife in his hand, looking at him.
His expression was very unfriendly, as if he had a deep hatred for him.
This person was the one who had pursued him before.
"Why did you kidnap me?" Huo Tingzhou frowned.
"What are you doing? I'm going to fuck you."
"Oh shit."
The man kicked Huo Tingzhou and knocked him over.
Huo Tingzhou fell to the ground.
My head was pounding and buzzing.
"Okay, you killed someone, and the team leader will kill you later."
"Is he still useful?"
As he spoke, another man came over and helped him up.
"Huo Tingzhou, you'd better cooperate with us."
"Otherwise, wouldn't we have brought you here?"
"Your sister-in-law is pregnant!"
"How dare you touch her!" Huo Tingzhou tried to break free from his restraints and moved desperately, causing the wooden chair to creak.
"Do you know what you are doing? This is kidnapping!"
"Kidnapped?"
"Ahahahaha, he said we were kidnapped."
The man who had helped him up just now walked over with a smile.
"Comrade Huo, do you think we are afraid?"
Huo Tingzhou was speechless, frowning and looking a little depressed, "What do you want?"
The man smiled, "That's right, if you cooperate, we can still talk."
Then he handed him a glass of water and said, "Drink some, we'll talk slowly."
Huo Tingzhou looked at the man in front of him, his eyes filled with rebellious cruelty.
"What do you want to ask?"
The man put away the cup of water, pulled a stool and sat aside.
"Comrade Huo Tingzhou, tell us, how did you find out that someone was following Shen Qingran?"
Huo Tingzhou snorted, "It was just an accident. Did you really think no one noticed it at school?"
"My roommates in the dormitory had already discovered it. They thought that man liked my sister-in-law, so they told me."
The man was silent for a moment. He didn't expect this to be the reason.
This is a bit unexpected.
Shen Qingran is pretty and many people follow her.
I didn't expect this to become a flaw.
"Then the second question is, has Shen Chaoxi ever told you that she has a notebook?"
Notes?
Huo Tingzhou muttered to himself, thinking that these people were looking for a notebook.
That means this notebook is in Shen Qingran's hands.
He would never betray Shen Qingran.
Huo Tingxiao sneered, "I thought you were looking for something. Turns out it's this."
"You know?" The man stood up immediately, a little anxious.
"Where did you put it?"
Just by looking at his expression, Huo Tingzhou knew that the bet was right.
Huo Tingzhou pulled at his wrist, which was painfully strangled, and deliberately showed an impatient look: "Notebook? Shen Chaoxi did give me one, saying that it recorded something."
"How would I know what it is?" He paused, glanced at the man's suddenly bright eyes, and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, "Chen Zhaoxi cheated on me and caused me to lose something important. I don't know where I got the things she gave me."
"Have you thought about where you put your things?"
Huo Tingzhou frowned.
"I just threw that kind of private and unlucky thing into the attic of the Huo family."
"You want you to go get it?"
The other man looked at Huo Tingzhou and laughed, then slapped him in the face.
"Damn, what an attitude."
Huo Tingzhou sneered, "You don't want that thing, can you get it without me?"
"Believe it or not." Huo Tingzhou turned his head, and rain dripped onto his eyelashes from the hole in the roof. "Back then, Chen Chaoxi placed her hopes on me, and thought that I could save her. I just took it. The book is tattered and looks creepy. I threw it away for several years. God knows if it is still there." He deliberately made his voice a little irritable. "If you kill me and make me stupid, don't blame me for not being able to find it."
"You're looking for death!"
The man sitting on the stool raised his hand to stop his companion, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth: "The attic of the Huo family, which attic of the Huo family? Explain clearly."
"It's... it's the Huo family's small building that my father helped me rent. You've been following our family for so long, don't you know?"
Huo Tingzhou was betting that these people had already set their eyes on the shelves.
"The house my dad rented for me has an attic. There's a broken wooden box in the corner of the attic, and I think I stuffed it in there."
Huo Tingzhou said indifferently, "It depends on luck whether I can find you. What if I remembered it wrong?"
Or will you take me with you to find it?"
Huo Tingzhou was wondering how urgent their situation was.
The knife-wielding man spat. “You better not have lied to us.”
"What good would it be for me to lie to you?" Huo Tingzhou lowered his eyelids to hide the gleam in his eyes. "I'm tied up now, and my life is in your hands."
"Let me go, and you can find the notebook as you please. If you can't find it, don't blame me. After all, it's been so many years, and it might have been eaten by rats."
"Very good, if you can find something, I can let you go."
"Don't worry, I'll keep my word."
The man stood up at this time, "But Huo Tingzhou, you didn't think that the injection I gave you before was an anesthetic injection, did you?"
"If you lie to me, do you know what the consequences will be?"
The man smiled and stabbed the knife in his hand into the apple pear beside him.
