After Gu Xiuyuan was discharged from the hospital, Ji Shuyu devoted herself to work again.
The residential complex has strengthened its management, so there is no need to rush after get off work every day. Gu Xiuyuan's car appears downstairs from time to time, and Ji Shuyu pretends not to see it.
Mu Ran called for the third time to complain, saying that she had already rejected her dinner invitations twice, and if she refused again this time, she would break up with her.
Before, it was because the place where I lived was unsafe and I was afraid that she would worry. Secondly, I was afraid that if she knew that I was taking care of Gu Xiuyuan in the hospital, this girl would definitely be furious.
"Okay, I'll treat you this weekend." Ji Shuyu smiled.
Faintly, she heard a man's voice on the other end, and Mu Ran hung up the phone in a hurry.
Is this Mr. M?
Last month, Xiaoxiao said she would never get involved in love! I really don't know what kind of person she is to be moved by Mu Xiaoxiao.
But... why did she feel that this voice sounded familiar? Ji Shuyu was puzzled, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.
…
It's already the end of the month, and the weather has certainly passed its hottest point. The temperature difference between morning and evening is quite large.
Ji Shuyu left the studio without her coat. After meeting with the client, it was almost time to get off work. She discussed the client's request with Ke Manning via WeChat and then went to eat something nearby.
The weather was a bit cloudy, so she ate a few bites and put down her chopsticks, wanting to get home before it rained.
Coming out of the restaurant, she hunched her arms, wondering why she was so cold.
She quickened her pace and just ran a distance when she saw an old man in sanitation worker's clothes squatting down with his hands covering his chest.
Ji Shuyu was startled and ran up quickly: "Grandma, are you okay?"
The old man shook his hand and tremblingly took out a small bottle from his pocket, which looked like medicine for heart disease.
Ji Shuyu quickly took out some water from her bag and handed it to her. The old woman took it and said weakly: Thank you.
"It's okay, are you okay..." Ji Shuyu asked, but the next second she felt something was wrong.
It’s the hand!!
Those hands were very dry. Not that they looked like the hands of a laborer, but they looked dry as if they hadn't seen the sun for a long time.
Those were a man's hands, and the voice was also a man's voice...
Ji Shuyu was startled, and before she could react, the man took out a spray and sprayed it at her, and her body instantly went limp.
Before she lost consciousness, she heard the man's laughter: "My dear daughter, you made me look so hard..."
She remembered this voice, the voice singing to the children in the hospital...
…
After being discharged from the hospital, Gu Xiuyuan was also overwhelmed by the backlog of work.
The messages he sent every day were all ignored. All he could do was watch her get off work and then follow her car to see her get home safely.
Fu Shengkai was quite disgusted with this, saying that he was not simple and direct enough.
He also wanted to be simple and direct, and a few times he deliberately let her see him to see her reaction, but she seemed to have seen nothing.
After being rejected several times for offering to have dinner together as a "thank you for taking care of me," he went straight to the studio downstairs to wait for her, but he waited and waited but she showed up. It wasn't until he saw her face that he realized she had gone out to meet a client that afternoon and hadn't returned since work, having gone straight home.
After another empty-handed attempt, Gu Xiuyuan felt a little depressed.
Although he had given up hope of making a phone call, he still called, thinking, what if?
What if you have a pleasant chat with the client and answer the phone in a good mood?
The call still didn't go through. This was the norm he was used to, but this time it made him feel uneasy for no reason.
Just like the car accident before, before he lost consciousness, he seemed to hear her crying and calling his name. It was not until they were beyond redemption that he realized that she was really in an accident...
He was afraid this time, and it was also a feeling...
After checking the time, he made a phone call, but the answer he got was: Mr. Gu, I didn't see Miss Ji come back.
The uneasiness in my heart was magnified, and I called again, but still no one answered.
Because of the previous kidnapping, which took the police a long time to find, he secretly located her phone and followed the phone's location, but found a trash can.
Her cell phone and backpack were thrown into a trash can...
Gu Xiuyuan was shocked. After checking the nearby surveillance footage, he saw her coming out of a restaurant, trying to help an old man up, then fainting beside the old man, and then being dragged out of the surveillance range.
The surveillance camera only showed a back view, and he couldn't see the person's face.
He immediately asked someone to check the surveillance along the way, but he couldn't find the man's whereabouts until his cell phone rang.
"What did you say? Out of prison?!" Gu Xiuyuan's voice changed in shock. "Isn't it still a few months away?!"
"The prison said he was sick, so they released him a few months early!"
Gu Xiuyuan heard a buzzing in his head.
Zhou Rui was previously asked to investigate Xiaoyu's childhood. Knowing that she had later changed her age and identity information, he guessed that she might have asked people to keep an eye on him because she was worried about the man's revenge later.
The man was sentenced to twenty years in prison, and with the reduction in sentence, he should have been released at the end of the year. But who would have thought that he would be released early due to illness.
If it was him, Xiaoyu would be in danger...
"Send someone out to look for it immediately, immediately!"
After hanging up, he immediately called the police and then asked Qin Chuan and Fu Shengkai for help. If things were really as he thought, then every second of delay would put Xiaoyu in greater danger...
…
Ji Shuyu fainted after inhaling a large amount of ether. When she woke up, her hands and feet were tied and she was locked in a dark box or something that looked like a box.
The enclosed space made her feel uneasy, and the gurgling sound in her ears sounded like the sound of a pulley rolling.
The space was too small and she couldn't even stretch her arms and legs, let alone struggle.
The voice before she lost consciousness made her hair stand on end. Not only because of the nursery rhyme, but also because it was the source of the fear deep in her heart...
It's that man, he's out of prison!
For so many years, she thought that as long as she slowly forgot about it, the nightmare would become a thing of the past.
But she never thought that he would come to her again.
At this moment, in this dark environment, she recalled the horrible memories of her childhood.
That case involved domestic violence and murder, and had extremely serious consequences, attracting high attention and concern.
While the case was still under trial, the man's father died of a heart attack, and the man escaped the death penalty because he killed someone while drunk.
Seeing him again reminded her of the man's resentful eyes during the live broadcast of the trial. She felt as if he was staring at her through the screen...
The gurgling sound soon stopped.
There was a sound of unlocking from outside the cabinet door. Ji Shuyu was so scared that she quickly closed her eyes. The next second, the cabinet door opened and the man's terrifying laughter rang in her ears...
