Hearing this voice, Xu Youyi suddenly raised his head.
She thought she had met some bad people, but when she saw an old couple in tattered clothes, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The weather in Yuncheng was still cold, but the two people were dressed lightly, and their lips were blue and purple due to the cold.
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
Seeing the old man who was struggling to stand even with the help of a street lamp, Xu Youyi hurried forward and helped him sit down on a bench on the street.
"Thank you, little girl." The old man said, and helped his wife sit down.
The old lady looked very weak. When she sat down with her hands on her stomach, her stomach growled.
"Grandma, why are you outside in such a cold day?" Xu Youyi looked at the old woman in thin clothes and took off her scarf to put it on her.
"No, nothing."
As the old man spoke, tears already fell from his eyes.
After asking, Xu Youyi found out that they were driven out by their son, who occupied their resettlement house. They hadn't eaten for three days.
Xu Youyi felt distressed when she heard this and took out some candies from her bag.
She had no cash on her and her phone was almost out of battery. She looked around and saw a convenience store across the street. She thought she could charge her phone there so she could buy something.
"Grandma, wait a moment, I'll go buy you something to eat." She said as she was about to go buy something.
"Hey, that's not necessary, girl." The old lady stopped her.
"It's okay." Xu Youyi couldn't bear to see them so pitiful.
"Miss, can you buy a bowl of noodles for my wife?" The old man said with some difficulty, "One bowl will be enough. Today is my wife's birthday."
The old man shed tears as he spoke.
Xu Youyi felt even more distressed after hearing this, and quickly nodded in agreement, then helped them across the street.
The old man said that there was a noodle shop that they used to go to often, and his wife had wanted to eat there for a long time, so it was at the intersection ahead.
The store was located on the corner of the street, and Xu Youyi had no doubt about it. As soon as they entered, the three people inside stood up.
"Boss, give me a bowl of noodles!"
As soon as he entered the door, the old man spoke.
"Two bowls, please," Xu Youyi said. "More meat, an egg, and more vegetables."
The three people looked at Xu Youyi, their eyes flashing with excitement.
Xu Youyi looked at it and felt something was wrong.
The three men seemed to be in their thirties or forties, and their appearance and temperament did not look like good people.
Although he has been well protected since childhood and is not on guard against others, he still has basic judgment.
At this moment, she remembered the kidnapping methods she had seen in the news.
My heart suddenly panicked.
"Boss, make four bowls of noodles!" She said, turning her head to look at the old lady behind her, "Grandma, I have an appointment with my little sister. I will ask her to come over later. The two of us will celebrate your birthday together, okay?" She smiled innocently.
The three of them's eyes lit up when they heard this, and the old man was even happier.
"Oh, okay, okay!" She agreed repeatedly, with tears in her eyes.
"Little girl, do you need anything else?" The person who spoke showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, unable to hide his excitement.
Xu Youyi almost couldn't control her disgusted expression.
"Then please go buy a cake! I'll pay for it together with you when we check out." Although she was extremely scared, she still acted innocently as if she didn't notice anything.
The man had no doubts and was certain that once he got here he would not be able to leave, so he went out happily.
His accomplices were also very happy. They had never met such a top-notch person in such a long time. Especially when they heard that there were sisters, they were even more excited.
One of them went out to buy the cake while the other went to the kitchen to prepare it.
"Baby, how long will it take you to get there?" Xu Youyi muted her phone and pretended to send a message, "I met a grandma on the road who was celebrating her birthday. Let's celebrate her birthday together!"
Her fingertips were shaking because of fear.
Although she tried her best to appear calm, she knew in her heart that she could not deceive them for long, so she had to leave the room as soon as possible.
"Well, the location is not far from where we agreed. Have you arrived?" She said as she stood up and looked out the window.
The three remaining people in the room stared at her, especially the two old men. The calculating gleam in their eyes made her feel a chill down her spine.
"Hey, I see you!" she said and waved towards the window. The person opposite thought that the prey had come and also looked out the window.
There really is a girl diagonally opposite.
"Stupid, cross the street and I'll pick you up right away." She said as she walked out the door.
The moment the door opened, someone in the room suddenly shouted, "I'll go out and answer it for you..."
This was her only chance, so how could she give up? Xu Youyi opened the door and ran out at the fastest speed in her life.
"Catch her!!"
The poor old man bared his fangs, and his rough voice made people's scalps tingle.
Xu Youyi was frightened and ran away. The man who chased her first was hit by the door, which gave her time to escape. However, this short time was not enough for her to run far, and another man in the kitchen quickly caught up with her.
Even if you are trembling with fear and feel that you may fall at any time, the desire to survive can stimulate the potential of your body.
She ran all the way with the people behind her chasing closely.
"Help!" she shouted as she ran, hoping to attract someone's attention.
She was running out of strength, and the people behind her were getting closer and closer. Just when she was about to despair, a commercial vehicle stopped.
A man got out of the car.
"Miss, do you need any help?"
"Yes, someone wants to catch me." She ran out of breath.
At this time, passers-by came forward to inquire about the situation, and the person following closely behind gave up.
Xu Youyi was well-dressed, and they couldn't use excuses like their child being disobedient or their girlfriend wanting to break up with them.
At this time, Xu Youyi was so scared that she fainted. Passersby helped her sit down and asked her what happened. She stammered for a long time and couldn't say anything. Finally, the passersby had to call the police.
Xu Youyi was very scared, and the first person she thought of was Ke Chengzhou.
"Cousin, where are you, I..."
Before the message was sent, the phone turned off due to lack of battery.
In an instant, tears became uncontrollable, because of fear and because of grievance.
Passersby saw her crying pitifully and later lent her their cell phone.
She choked up and called Ke Chengzhou.
"Hello?"
Before she could speak, a woman's voice came from the other side.
He and Su Xuan were together, were they familiar enough to answer the phone?
Is it true that today is not the first time they met, not a blind date, they have been together for a long time...
…
The police received the call and asked about the general situation.
She stumbled for a long time before she could explain herself clearly.
The police sent two people to investigate the situation, and Xu Youyi was taken to the police station to take a statement.
She realized the fear too late. She had never encountered such a situation before, and her hands holding the cup were shaking.
The police sent people to the noodle shop to investigate, but in the end they found nothing. Some people questioned whether she was lying.
I was frightened and felt even more wronged when I was suspected like this.
It was already dark when Ke Chengzhou came to the police station to pick someone up. After completing the formalities, Xu Youyi followed him out of the police station.
She was frightened and just wanted Ke Chengzhou to comfort her, but he had a cold face the whole time, as if he thought she was a nuisance.
Ke Chengzhou was angry, angry that she ran around everywhere and got into such danger.
"Cousin..." she said aggrievedly.
"Xu Youyi, are you a child? Do you have any basic judgment?"
㰴I thought my grievances could be exchanged for a word of comfort, but I was interrupted as soon as I opened my mouth.
Ke Chengzhou was angry.
He knew that what happened today was not entirely her fault, she was just too naive, but she was so willful as to abandon her bodyguards and run around alone. If today...
He didn't dare to think further.
Xu Youyi felt even more upset after being yelled at like that.
She knew she was wrong, but was it really that difficult to comfort her?
"So, this is my fault?" Her eyes were red.
"Don't you have any fault at all?" He was willful and lost his temper? "Have you thought about the consequences of this? If anything happens to you, I..."
He paused mid-sentence.
If something happens, how will he be?
Xu Youyi looked at him, waiting for him to finish, wondering if he was worried about her.
"How am I going to explain this to An An?" He changed the subject and said coldly.
How... should I explain this to my sister-in-law?
"So, all you think about is your own responsibilities." He wasn't worried about her at all. "You came here and found someone to protect me and take care of me, all because of my sister-in-law?"
She didn't want to believe it and felt more and more aggrieved the more she spoke.
Ke Chengzhou did not deny it. Seeing her aggrieved look, he turned his face away and said, "I have something else to do. I'll ask someone to take you there first."
"Where are you going?" Hearing that he was going to leave her again, Xu Youyi opened her arms to stop him, "You're going to find Su Xuan, right?"
Ke Chengzhou looked at her without saying a word, but his eyes seemed to be filled with: Does it have anything to do with you?
"Did you really go on a blind date?" she asked unwillingly.
"If you don't know, why bother asking?" Ke Chengzhou asked, "Ms. Xu, I promised An An to take care of you, but that doesn't mean you can ask about my private affairs, nor does it mean you can pry into my privacy through my assistant."
"Miss Xu, spying?"
Xu Youyi looked at him in disbelief, tears falling from her eyes.
Ke Chengzhou's heart twitched as he watched, his hands curled up tightly in his trouser pockets, but the words were already out, and it was too late to take them back.
"I just like you." Her voice was tinged with tears. "Do you really have to make my feelings for you sound so unbearable?"
"But your so-called love has already disturbed me." Ke Chengzhou said.
So-called?
Therefore, he still felt that she was just fooling around and didn't like him.
"Ke Chengzhou, what do you want me to believe?" She said loudly: "I know what I do, I like it..."
"But I don't like you." He interrupted calmly, "I made that very clear from the beginning."
“…”
Xu Youyi was stiff, and her cheeks gradually lost color.
She knew he didn't like her, but why did he always hurt her so bluntly?
Because I don't like her, I don't care whether she is sad or not, right...
