Chapter 75 The Young Lady is Missing
The bathroom suddenly became quiet.
Nie Beilou looked at Xi Jiu for a long moment before he spoke, "Do you really want to know? The truth of the matter might be something you can't bear."
Xi Jiu's eyes darkened instantly.
"I want to know. Please tell me, Mr. Beilou."
…
The pitch-black night is like ink that cannot be dissolved.
The hospital, which was bustling and noisy during the day, had now returned to silence.
In the darkness of night, a black Maybach, like a dormant cheetah, silently crouched outside the hospital.
The car was dark.
Only the spark of the cigarette burns a hole in the dark night.
Xi Jiu sat silently in the darkness, his cold and fierce eyes hidden in the shadows.
The man had been sitting like this motionless for nearly five hours.
Nie Beilou had already returned to the ward, but he didn't dare go back.
Nie Beilou's words were like thousands of steel nails, densely packed and piercing into the brain, causing unbearable pain and driving one crazy.
"Xi family boy, the truth of ten years ago may be too much for you to bear."
"So far, the only people who know the truth of that year are Xiao Qi's parents and me. Even Mu Nan doesn't know the whole story. Do you know why?"
"Because of some hatred, we elders just need to remember it. Xiao Qi has been ruined once, and we don't want Mu Nan to be ruined again."
"This truth will drive everyone who cares about Xiao Qi crazy. Do you really want to know?"
Xi Jiu knew.
Nie Beilou told him everything that happened that year in detail.
Every word Nie Beilou said was like a steel knife, stabbing Xi Jiu's heart into a bloody mess.
When he thought of everything Ruan Qi had experienced, he even had the desire to destroy the world.
The flame from the cigarette gradually moved upwards, less than half a centimeter away from burning the finger.
The man sitting quietly in the darkness seemed to have no sense of pain, his eyes were cold and gloomy, and he did not move.
Boom boom boom!
There was a sudden knock on the car window.
Xi Jiu's eyes moved and he turned his head slowly.
Outside the car window, Gu Feiyang's passionate and unbridled face was looking inside with raised eyebrows.
Xi Jiu blinked his sore eyes and pressed the car window button.
The car window slowly rolled down.
In an instant, the strong and pungent smell of smoke rushed out.
The defenseless Gu Feiyang choked and sneezed violently.
"Fuck!" He covered his mouth and nose uncomfortably, "Brother Jiu, are you making drugs in the car?!"
Xi Jiu didn't say anything.
He turned on the interior lights and put out his cigarette in the ashtray.
Gu Feiyang glanced at the ashtray. One, two, three... countless cigarette butts, at least four or five packs of cigarettes.
He raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Brother Jiu, don't you dislike smoking? Why do you smoke so much?"
Xi Jiu didn't answer him, but asked in a hoarse voice, "Why are you here?"
Seeing that his answer was irrelevant, Gu Feiyang smiled nonchalantly and said, "I heard from Qin Qingdi that Xiao Qi was in the hospital. Anyway, I have nothing to do recently, so I came to take a look and see if there is anything I can help with."
After he finished speaking, he paused and glanced at Xi Jiu, "Brother Jiu, is she okay?"
How can it be okay?
Xi Jiu closed his eyes, with endless sorrow between his brows.
When Gu Feiyang saw his expression, his heart sank.
"Ninth brother," the smile on the evil man's face slowly disappeared, "Is Xiaoqi in bad condition?"
Xi Jiu pursed his lips slightly, but before he could reply, the phone on the center console suddenly rang.
The shrill ringing of the bell broke the quiet night, and the two men's hearts trembled.
Xi Jiu quickly picked up the phone.
"Master, the young lady is missing!"
------Digression------
