Chapter 122: The Heartless Educated Youth in the Period Literature (27)
After resting for a few days, Su Yu returned to Linjiang Hotel.
Colleagues came to her openly and secretly to inquire about her relationship with Shao Jinglin, with gleams in their eyes. They were curious and wanted to see if they could gain some benefits from it.
Su Yu explained: "I only knew him seven years ago. At that time, I went to their village, but now we have no relationship."
"Mr. Shao is a good man. He helped me out because we knew each other before. Besides, he has returned to the capital now. It's hard to say whether we will meet again in the future. If you need help from him, you can, but don't expect me to ask for it."
Su Yu gave them a shot of prevention in advance.
Colleagues looked at each other in bewilderment: "But Mr. Shao came here to eat yesterday and said he would stay in Jiangcheng for another week."
Su Yu opened her eyes wide: "Ah?"
How come she doesn't know?
And when we met on the street that day, didn’t he say that he was leaving?
Thinking of the last time, Su Yu's eyes gradually became blurred and she stared blankly ahead.
Shao Jinglin asked her to divorce her "dead ghost" husband and also gave her money, on the condition that she stay with him.
She was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Everything happened so suddenly.
Su Yu seriously suspected that there was something fishy going on, and even wondered if Shao Jinglin was lying to her in order to keep her in his hands so that he could avenge her for what she had done seven years ago.
Fortunately, my nephew was very supportive and kept crying and asking to go home.
She hastily refused and left with her little nephew.
When turning the end of the street, Su Yu quietly looked back. Shao Jinglin had not left yet. He seemed to be staring at her and not moving his gaze away. There was an incomprehensible emotion in his eyes. She felt a chill on her back instantly.
Now she heard that Shao Jinglin had not left Jiangcheng and would stay here for another week. Su Yu couldn't help but wonder if it was because of her.
That last look comes to mind.
Su Yu felt a chill in her heart and her back felt a little cold. She couldn't help but shiver.
The next second, a slap hit my back.
"Why are you daydreaming? Hurry up and get to work."
Su Yu suddenly came back to her senses: "Ah, here it comes."
She quickly put aside the thought and thought to herself that she was overthinking. She came to her senses and immediately stood up and followed.
I was busy all day today, and I was busy until dark.
The colleague who took over shift with Su Yu was delayed and arrived after a long time, apologizing repeatedly.
Su Yu changed her clothes unhappily: "I'll remember that next time I'll come late and give you back the work you didn't do today."
You can't suffer any loss when eating.
Su Yu used to think about slacking off when she went to the countryside. She was very experienced, so how could she let others slack off in her place after seven years?
The colleague took advantage and waved his hand, saying, "I know, I know. Go back quickly. It's dark outside. Be careful on your way back."
It was getting dark, the sky was dark blue, the moon was half hanging in the sky, its tail like a transparent gauze, and the light on the road was dim.
Su Yu lives not far from here and walks back and forth every day.
But she got home late today and no one came to pick her up.
A cool breeze blew slowly. Su Yu shrank her neck, stretched out her sleeves and clasped her hands over her chest to block the wind. She felt so cold that goose bumps appeared on her skin.
I should have worn two more pieces of clothing today.
As the night deepened, there were few people on the street and it was extremely quiet. Only the sound of the wind was heard in her ears. Su Yu suddenly felt a little scared.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel like someone is following me.
But when I looked back, there was no one there.
Su Yu's heartbeat gradually quickened. She was about to ask the system to help her check if anyone was following her when suddenly a shadow flashed by her side.
She turned around immediately and saw a man who was unable to dodge in time and was caught by her.
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat and she ran away the next moment.
The man behind him saw that he had been discovered, cursed, and hurriedly chased after him. His target was clear, and that was Su Yu.
Su Yu thought to herself that she was really unlucky today.
There have been times when I came home late before, but why did I have to encounter danger today?
“Help—”
"Is there anyone——"
“Help—”
Su Yu shouted as she ran. As long as she could run through this dark and deserted road, she would reach the business street ahead and the man would not dare to chase her.
Su Yu gritted her teeth and quickened her pace.
The next second, her eyes widened and she slowed down immediately.
It was really a case of misfortunes never come alone. This guy actually had an accomplice who was blocking the intersection ahead.
All the roads ahead and behind were blocked.
Suddenly, Su Yu's gaze froze.
There is a small alley on the right. I have walked through it twice before. It is very narrow, but there is an exit.
Su Yu ran into the alley without hesitation.
The two people who were chasing looked at each other at the entrance of the alley, and gradually slowed down their pace, maintaining a speed that would not catch up with Su Yu but would not lose her either, as if to force her into the alley.
The alley twisted and turned, and Su Yu was not very skilled in finding her way around.
Fortunately, the person behind me didn’t catch up. I wonder if he got lost.
Su Yu walked faster, breathing heavily as she determined the direction.
It was getting darker and darker. There were no lights in the alley. The streets were so stacked and winding that if someone was not familiar with the place, they might not be able to get out.
After turning the corner, I could vaguely see the exit.
Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
What a bad luck! I will never walk alone at night again.
However, before the previous breath was released, the next breath came up again.
There was actually another person at the exit!
The footsteps behind me are getting closer.
There are wolves in front and tigers behind, Su Yu is so unlucky.
There were two people behind her and one person in front of her. After hesitating for a moment, Su Yu decided to give it a try. If it didn't work, she would let the system cheat. At worst, she would just lose points.
Su Yu closed her eyes and rushed over.
"Su Yu?" A familiar voice sounded beside my ears, with a hint of doubt in its voice, "Why are you here?"
Su Yu was stunned and subconsciously slowed down the car, but failed to brake and crashed straight into the man's arms.
She was embraced by a pair of strong arms, and the man did not retreat at all, holding her steadily. It was extremely powerful and reassuring.
Faced with the woman's embrace, Shao Jinglin gladly accepted it.
The corners of his lips hidden in the dark curled up slightly.
"You're running so fast, what happened?"
There were hurried footsteps in the alley.
When they saw Shao Jinglin, the two people who had been chasing Su Yu stopped in their tracks, hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to come over, as if they were afraid or annoyed. Finally, they looked at each other and turned around and ran away.
A look of satisfaction flashed across Shao Jinglin's eyes.
You are quite tactful. You can raise the agreed price a bit.
After escaping danger, Su Yu lay in Shao Jinglin's arms for a long time, gasping for breath, with panic still in her eyes.
Shao Jinglin raised his hand and patted her on the back: "Don't be afraid, tell me, what happened?"
It was fine when she was running away before, but now that he comforted her, Su Yu realized it belatedly and felt scared.
Uncontrollable panic arose from the bottom of my heart.
"There are bad guys chasing me..."
If Shao Jinglin had not appeared in time, she couldn't imagine what would be waiting for her.
Su Yu's arms suddenly tightened and she hugged Shao Jinglin's waist tightly. She welled up her eyes with tears of fear and sobbed. Finally, she burst into tears as the man comforted her.
"There...there were bad guys chasing me...there were two of them...I was scared to death just now..." Su Yu was frightened and spoke with a trembling voice while crying.
She clutched the man's clothes on his back tightly, even until they were wrinkled, but she didn't let go. She looked so frightened and scared that she even forgot to ask Shao Jinglin why he was here.
