Huo Yi, who had dropped something, came back and saw Duan Junchen leaving in a hurry.
His assistant happened to drive over and the two missed each other.
Huo Yi frowned.
What is Duan Junchen doing?
He subconsciously raised his heel and walked forward, then suddenly stopped.
What other people do has nothing to do with him.
Huo Yi entered the restaurant to look for something, but he didn't find anything after looking around carefully.
Seeing this, the waiter in the restaurant came over and smiled politely: "Hello sir, how can I help you?"
Huo Yi raised his head and looked at her. "It's just that a very important jade pendant of mine is missing. It seems to have fallen here, but I haven't found it after searching for a long time."
The waiter looked her over and suddenly asked, "Is it an emerald green pendant with red beads?"
"Yes, you've seen it?" Huo Yi nodded hurriedly and asked anxiously, "Do you know where it is now?"
Waiter: "Yes, your pendant was picked up by Mr. Duan."
"Last name Duan?" Huo Yi was stunned.
Duan Junchen?
He described Duan Junchen's appearance, and the waiter nodded quickly, insisting that it was him.
Huo Yi: "Thank you."
The waiter smiled and said, "You're welcome, it's my duty. Take care, sir."
Huo Yi walked out and looked in the direction where he had just seen Duan Junchen.
After thinking about it, he decided to follow.
After walking for a long distance, he saw Duan Junchen again.
As he hurried to catch up, he found that Duan Junchen had a bag of something in his hand, but he didn't know what it was.
Then he entered an alley and came to a dilapidated wooden building.
A bearded man came out.
The man took the thing from Duan Junchen's hand, opened it and took a look.
Huo Yi stretched his neck to take a look. It was bright red and should be banknotes.
So much money...what are they doing?
The man got the thing, smiled contentedly, took out a notebook, and lit it with a lighter in front of him.
The two men exchanged a few more words, and the man turned around with the money and prepared to leave.
Duan Junchen also turned around.
Seeing this, Huo Yi was about to hide, but he saw him looking back again, and took out a knife from somewhere and stabbed it into the man's heart.
Huo Yi widened his eyes, raised his hand to cover his mouth tightly, and his whole body was trembling.
He couldn't believe it... couldn't believe that the man he had known for many years was committing a crime.
Huo Yi slowly turned his back, his legs were limp, and he tried his best to use his limbs to escape.
Sudden!
The bloody tip of the knife was pointed at him, and the shadow in front of him gradually grew larger. "Stop."
The voice was ghostly and cold, as if it came from hell.
Huo Yi stopped all his movements instantly, his breathing stagnated, and he turned his head tremblingly and looked at the person who spoke.
"Huo Yi..." Duan Junchen's hand holding the fruit knife trembled slightly. At that moment, he felt as if he had been pushed into an abyss. The cold was biting, his lips turned pale, and half of the blood color on his face faded. "You...you saw everything?"
Huo Yi's eyes turned red, tears flashed in his eyes, and he felt mixed emotions and remained silent.
But Duan Junchen knew that he was seeing it like this.
Duan Junchen's ears buzzed, his mind went blank, and he hurriedly dropped the knife in his hand, his lips trembling, "Huo Yi, I... I..."
He kept saying "I" for a long time but couldn't make any sense of it.
His mind is in a mess now.
When he was killing people, he was rational and calm, and could analyze everything rationally. But when he faced this person, all his intelligence and calmness would immediately fall apart and cease to exist.
Huo Yi looked at him, who was full of panic and helplessness, closed his eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Don't say anything, I will pretend that I didn't see anything. You... clean up quickly."
He turned away, not wanting to look, but his tears kept flowing.
Hearing this, Duan Junchen was slightly startled. He lowered his eyes and spoke after a long while: "...Huo Yi, call the police. I don't want to implicate you."
Hearing this, Huo Yi couldn't hold it in any longer. He turned around abruptly, raised his hand and slapped him, lowering his voice and shouting, "Duan Junchen, are you fucking sick?! What's the point of you telling me this now? What were you doing before? Killing is against the law, don't you know? You've read so much, why do you still do such illegal things?!"
Duan Junchen looked at the extremely angry man and lowered his head. "I did something wrong and he caught me with it..."
"So you're going to kill to silence them, right? Duan Junchen, why are you so foolish?" Huo Yi wanted to slap him again, but then he pulled his hand back. "Now that things have come to this, hurry up and do it. We have to get out of here quickly."
"But……"
Huo Yi looked at him coldly, "But what but? There is no but."
"I mean, you'll be implicated by me."
Huo Yi pursed his lips and laughed at himself, "Duan Junchen, you are the source of my bad luck in this life. I have to admit defeat after meeting you."
Duan Junchen opened his mouth, and thousands of words turned into a "sorry".
Duan Junchen cleaned up quickly. Huo Yi left first and he followed.
Every step Huo Yi took was heavy.
Because he knew that from now on his life would no longer be his own.
He did it even though he knew it was impossible... What was he trying to achieve?
