Chapter 48
The two men were walking very fast. Su Yin and Gu Qian'an had already started a few steps slower, so they had to jog to catch up, and they were hiding themselves for fear of being discovered.
Fortunately, it was not the first time for either of them to do such sneaky things. They were very skilled in finding hiding places and had an inexplicable tacit understanding.
Su Yin and Gu Qian'an, who were hiding behind the bushes on the left and right, looked at each other and felt a secret sense of pride in their hearts. What an amazing tracking technique.
As expected of her/him, she/he is a person of evil ways!
There were murmurs along the way. The person leading the way twitched his lips slightly, trying hard not to look back. "Dean, what are those two people behind us?"
Xie Lingxu was of course aware of the two people following him. They had been following him since he came out of Yard No. 3.
He just glanced back casually. The person behind him was like the timid spirit beast raised by the sect in his previous life. At the slightest disturbance, he would quickly hide in the grass nearby, unaware that his tail was always exposed.
Xie Lingxu shook his head imperceptibly and said with indulgence, "Don't worry about it."
The gentleness that he himself didn't even notice was heard by his subordinates who had followed him for many years. They couldn't help but wonder, is this still the young master Xie who looks easy to talk to but is actually as cold-hearted as a stone?
See you soon.
The cargo ship was docked at the port outside the hospital, but the unidentified person had been taken into the sanatorium by security and was currently being held in a security room not far from the gate.
Su Yin thought she could watch the fun from outside, but she didn't expect that the two men actually went into a small dark room.
She quickly glanced at the entire small dark room. There was only a vent with iron bars on the top. She thought to herself that something was wrong and didn't care about hiding. She quickened her pace and rushed over before they closed the door.
"Don't turn it off, let me see it too!" The roar was full of emotion.
"And me, and me!" Gu Qian'an couldn't catch up with the young sect leader, so he could only shout loudly, fearing that they would leave him behind.
Your head may be cut off and blood may flow, but you must watch the fun!
Xie Lingxu: ...
I really owe her, he sighed softly, and held up the door that was about to close, leaving a gap that was barely enough for him to squeeze through.
Fortunately, Su Yin was thin and agile, and his sides were as thin as paper. He easily squeezed in through the narrow crack in the door without slowing down at all.
Xie Lingxu was standing close to the door, which was a blind spot. When she came in, she rushed in too fast and couldn't stop, and she bumped into his arms.
In an instant, his arms were filled with warmth and fragrance.
Xie Lingxu was shocked physically and mentally.
All thoughts receded like the tide, leaving only the real, soft touch in my arms.
The broad chest was as hard as a wall. Su Yin bumped into it headfirst. Stars appeared in front of his eyes. He could not see what he had hit. He just leaned against the wall to calm down.
Xie Lingxu was in trouble. He stood there stiffly, even his breathing stopped. He subconsciously stretched out his hand, but it was hanging in the air, about to fall. It was not right to push it open, nor was it right not to push it open.
The rest of the people in the room watched the two people huddled together in perfect sync, silently and without interruption.
Inexplicably presents a strange and delicate balance.
"Push, let me squeeze!"
The loud shouts were like a stone hitting the calm lake, instantly breaking the balance.
The unlucky child who ran slowly was afraid that he would miss any inside information. The young man's body could not fit into the gap of the door, so he could only squeeze in with all his strength.
Su Yin had just recovered when she felt a strong force pressing against her and the wall. She reached out reflexively and slammed the door shut.
Outside the door, Gu Qianan was stunned. He threw himself against the door, banging and shouting, "I'm still outside. Let me in. I want to see too!!!!"
The sound was particularly sad, just like slaughtering pigs during the Chinese New Year.
The devilish sound pierced his ears, and even through the door, it couldn't stop drilling into his ears.
Su Yin scratched her ears uncomfortably, and suddenly realized that the thing she was leaning on was hot. She looked up and was surprised to find that she was in Xie Lingxu's arms.
Without thinking, she pushed him back, immediately distanced herself from him, and gave Xie Lingxu a guilty smile.
Xie Lingxu didn't look at her. He lowered his eyelashes and rubbed his temples calmly. Then he opened the door for the person outside who was about to cry.
Gu Qian'an finally came in and finally stopped howling.
As soon as he entered, he forgot all the unpleasantness just now and looked at the people in the room curiously. "Is it started? Is it started? I didn't miss anything?"
For some reason, he always felt that the atmosphere in this room was a little strange.
The room was not big, and four people, including Su Yin and Gu Qian'an, rushed in at once. The already dark and narrow space became even more cramped, extremely hot and stuffy, and it seemed as if the air was not circulating.
Xie Lingxu simply left the door open to ventilate.
There were eight people crowded in the small room. Excluding the four who came in later, the remaining four were all men. One stood on the side, holding a tablet in his hand to record the interrogation information, and the other two were wearing security personnel uniforms, and their identities could be seen at a glance.
Standing between the two men was a man with silver shackles on his hands. He looked a little disheveled, and his wrinkled clothes were covered in dirt and stained with a few rotten vegetable leaves. There was a faint smell of sweat in the air.
He was looking at the person at the door in panic. He didn't know if he had fallen, but there was some dust on his face. His sweaty hair was sticking to his skin in strands. His facial features were originally handsome, but now he looked like a refugee.
Xie Lingxu had already adjusted his state of mind. He examined this outsider who had entered without permission, and then asked the interrogator, "What is your identity?"
"He claims to be Gu Cheng and doesn't admit to any faction he belongs to. We checked the identity information he provided and the known information shows that he is just an ordinary person."
The person who had gone to Courtyard No. 3 to report the news said, "Knowing the information about the cargo ship in the courtyard and being able to successfully get ashore is not something that ordinary people can do."
He was talking to his colleague, but his eyes were fixed on the locked man, his gaze as sharp as a hawk.
Gu Cheng's throat became dry when he was looked at by him, and he subconsciously lowered his head to avoid that gaze.
His behavior became increasingly suspicious.
Almost all the residents of the sanatorium are patients worth hundreds of millions or even tens of billions of dollars who are easily deceived. Security and confidentiality have always been the top priority. Not to mention ordinary people, even those who are not at the top of the circle do not know the existence of this island.
How did this person know?
Xie Lingxu took the interrogation results and took a quick look. It had been a short time since the incident, and the man was uncooperative, so he could get very little information out of him.
"How did you get in?"
Previously, because of the Suyin family incident, he closed the visiting channel of the sanatorium.
This is an isolated island in the sea. Apart from private plane, the only way to get in and out is by boat.
The cargo ship used exclusively for the sanatorium is not high-profile, and the transportation process is all completed within the Xie family's internal industries. They were able to think of this route, find the way smoothly, and avoid all the eyes and ears on the ship. Obviously, they cannot use unintentionality as an excuse.
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Gu Cheng raised his head and looked at the man who was looking at him indifferently. He explained for the umpteenth time: "I have no other purpose, and I don't belong to any faction. I am really not a bad person."
From the behavior of those people, he knew that this person was the owner of this sanatorium.
Gu Cheng's voice was very hoarse.
In order to avoid being discovered, he did not drink a drop of water during the whole day and night on the boat.
Xie Lingxu frowned slightly and answered many questions, but none of them hit the point.
It's like he doesn't understand what people are saying.
The person in charge of the interrogation was not surprised. This person had behaved like this from the beginning. The only information he had was found by him by sneaking into the database using the name and photo.
Su Yin interrupted: "What did you say your name was?"
Gu Cheng turned his head.
She stood at the door, with the light behind her, so her appearance could not be seen clearly, but her tone of voice was much gentler than those who had just interrogated him like a criminal.
"Gu Cheng, Gu means caring, Cheng means honest."
Su Yin always felt that this name sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
Since he couldn't remember, he simply gave up thinking about it and asked the interrogator, "Did you torture him?"
It looks messy, as if it has been tortured, but there are no external injuries. Could this be some new method of this world?
She has to learn and go back to benefit the evil ways.
The man smiled and said, "How could that be? We are law-abiding citizens."
He had heard about the patient in the Third Ward from a colleague before, and he quickly compared the story with the person in front of him. After glancing at the director, he explained to her, "This person was brought in mixed in with the fresh produce. When they unloaded the goods, they discovered the weight was wrong, so they stopped him."
To be able to do this, it is not only because someone outside has been bribed, but there must also be problems inside the sanatorium.
Su Yin: "Is that so."
There was unspeakable regret and pity in his voice.
That person: ...
What is she regretting in this tone?
After a day and a night of torture and the fear of being caught, Gu Cheng was in a very tense state and it was difficult for him to distinguish the tone of others.
He only knew that someone, with a soft voice, was speaking up for him and caring about whether he was being tortured.
Like an angel.
Gu Cheng kept an eye on the movements of the two people next to him and seized the opportunity to pounce on the angel.
He wanted to grab this only lifeline.
Xie Lingxu didn't expect this man to suddenly do this. Almost the moment he made a move, he protected the person next to him in his arms and held her to the side to avoid him.
The next second, the person flying in the air was subdued by the security guards on both sides and pinned firmly to the ground.
"What do you want to do?!"
Xie Lingxu was still frightened and rarely felt angry.
The two security guards used a lot of force. Gu Cheng groaned in pain and defended himself intermittently: "I... didn't... I just... just wanted to ask her... to help me..."
"Flying is your way of asking for help?"
According to his movement trajectory just now, if he really rushed over, with Su Yin's physique, he would definitely be knocked down, and the back of his head would definitely hit the concrete wall behind him.
There was no special expression on Xie Lingxu's face, but the air pressure around him was extremely low, and his eyes were extremely sharp, like a sharp sword hanging on the top of a mountain, ready to strike.
Several old employees nearby who had worked in the Xie family for many years had never seen him in such a state and looked at each other in surprise.
When did the young master develop such murderous aura?
Su Yin blinked twice. The height difference prevented her from seeing the expression of the man above her head, but the big hand that was firmly protecting the back of her head was warm and strong, and the heartbeat in her ears was steady. His presence was extremely strong.
He is protecting her.
At this moment, she finally realized the power of Tian Xiao's strategy back then.
Really, super cool!
I really want to let that transcendent light of righteousness see my face as I nervously protect the evil witch.
Hehehehe.
