Xu Neng entered the warehouse, a space of about fifty square meters. He picked up a flashlight that was scattered on the ground and checked the surrounding environment.
There were several bloodstains on the ground in the southwest corner, which should have been left by Chen Nian just now.
He stood quietly, so quiet that he could only hear his own heartbeat. Strangely, after everyone left, his heartbeat got faster and faster.
It's really dark here; the three flashlights Chu Xiang left behind are far from enough.
It's been so long since I've seen Wang Feifei. The image of her falling into the water during our last meeting keeps replaying in my mind. Although she looked a little disheveled, that pale green hue still captivated me…
Even wiping one's nose with one's own clothes, after being processed by memory, seems quite cute.
Xu Neng, who used to be annoyed by women, changed after that incident. He relied on those little memories to get through many sleepless nights.
Not wanting to get more involved, he wanted to get out of the situation as soon as possible, but even though he was already at the airport, he couldn't resist coming back.
Because those eyes, I've remembered them since the first time I saw them, they're etched in my mind.
He looked around; it was indeed too dark. He wondered if she would be scared. He didn't want Wang Feifei to run away like last time without saying a word.
"Xiao Gao, could you go and find me some flashlights or..." This area is all rural, so I doubt I can buy any lighting equipment with its own power source.
"If we really can't find one, a candle will do." Xu Neng couldn't leave, so he could only instruct Xiao Gao to do the work over the phone.
Not long after, Xiao Gao drove back, bringing half a box of candles.
At this time of year, 24-hour convenience stores are all in the city center; where can you find one in the suburbs?
Having no other choice, Xiao Gao banged on the door of a small supermarket in town. The owner opened the door, pulling up his pants, and said nothing, but in his heart he was cursing his ancestors for eight generations.
Then he saw that the candles that had been unsold for five years had been sold out, and he happily packed them all up, even thoughtfully giving them a lighter as a gift.
As soon as Xiao Gao moved his things into the warehouse, he was told to leave: "Alright, you can go now!"
Xiao Gao took a few steps and looked back every few minutes, moving slowly. He didn't want to be called back halfway through his drive, so he decided to slow down and see if his boss had any further instructions.
He caught a glimpse of his boss's cold eyes and immediately ran away. If he didn't, he'd be the biggest third wheel. Safety first, safety first...
Xu Neng silently lit the candles, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The flickering light made his profile appear even more handsome.
What should I say as my opening line?
"Hello, I'm Xu Neng?"
This is starting to sound like a business negotiation.
He patiently lit each candle and carefully fixed it to the ground. Gradually, the warehouse became brighter and brighter.
Only the southwest corner was dark, because he didn't want Wang Feifei to see the bloodstains on the ground.
Xu Neng wore a black wool coat, the high-end fabric shimmering with a deep purple sheen under the candlelight, making him appear exceptionally elegant in the dilapidated warehouse.
The temperature was quite cold in the early morning. Even though he had been in the United States for many years and had developed a strong ability to withstand the cold, he couldn't stand it.
Fortunately, he soon heard some noise outside.
It's Wang Feifei...
Wang Feifei was very worried about Chen Nian the whole way, so she drove very fast. When they arrived, they found it was an abandoned factory.
"That trash Chu Xiang really knows how to pick a spot!"
The warehouse windows were very high and flat; she could see the warehouse lights from a distance, and this must be it.
Why is there absolutely no sound?
She remembered Chen Nian's groans on the phone, but now it was eerily quiet, and she could only pray that Chen Nian was alright.
Wang Feifei cautiously approached, mentally calculating which route would be the fastest to escape later...
Xu Neng knew she had arrived, so he moved to a spot near the door to wait.
This time, we can't let her escape...
That cunning little fox!
Wang Feifei mustered up her courage and pushed the door open, only to find that apart from the candles scattered all over the floor, there was no one there.
What's going on?
Then an unfamiliar male voice sounded from behind:
"Hello, Wang Feifei!"
Wang Feifei turned around and found an extremely handsome man standing behind her. He looked very familiar, and upon closer inspection, she realized it was Xu Neng!
Oh my god, how could it be him?
Wang Feifei's guard instantly went up, and she asked coldly:
"Why is it you? Where's Chen Nian?"
“He’s safe and has gone home.” Xu Neng stepped forward so he could see her face clearly.
Wang Feifei didn't believe him and immediately picked up her phone to call Chen Nian, but the ringtone came from Xu Neng instead.
"What did you do to Chen Nian?"
"He's gone home. I just saved him."
While keeping a close eye on him, trying to find a weakness, Wang Feifei was also thinking about how to escape, her hand reaching into her bag...
Xu noticed her subtle movements and frowned.
What tricks is this woman playing now?!
Suddenly, a long, slender arm flashed to Wang Feifei's side, and in the blink of an eye, the bag was in his hand.
Wang Feifei was caught off guard and rushed to grab it.
Before she could even touch the bag, Xu Neng reached inside first, felt something cold and hard, and pulled it out:
"What's this?"
"Don't move! Don't move!" Wang Feifei was extremely nervous.
When Xu Neng saw what was in his hand, he was also startled!
Going to a meeting alone, at the very least one would use a knife or a gun, right? Instead, it was a grenade?
Xu Neng was stunned at the scene...
Looking at Wang Feifei again, she swallowed hard:
"Don't move it, put it back... put it back now!"
"Wang Feifei! How come you always manage to surprise me? Oh no, sometimes it might even be a shock."
