Chapter 74: Something is wrong
Yan Ye came back to his senses, pretending nothing happened, and said calmly: "Fortunately, it's not serious."
Xu Xiaoyue retracted her tongue, rubbed her sore cheeks, and met the man's deep black eyes, which seemed to contain some regret.
She subconsciously stepped back, feeling a little uneasy.
As if he could see her fear, Yan Ye suppressed the unspeakable thoughts in his heart and secretly reminded her that the person in front of him was only slightly braver than a rabbit. If he was really scared away, it would be difficult to catch him next time.
"Madam boss, three bowls of noodles, put more meat!"
A female voice came, and she gave instructions, as if in a hurry, and specifically instructed: "Cook it quickly, and pack everything up."
"Lady, noodles are not that easy to cook, so they can't be cooked quickly." The old lady said, her hands constantly moving to add seasoning to the bowl.
The two men following her urged in a rough voice: "Cook it quickly if it's not cooked."
The old lady didn't say anything, she lowered her head and quickened her movements. Xu Xiaoyue twitched her ears and looked up. One of the two men looked very familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.
Xu Xiaoyue wrinkled her nose, turned her head to look at the man and said, "I think I've seen that man before."
Yan Ye frowned imperceptibly and his eyes fell on the three people.
"Put more meat, I have plenty of money!"
The woman who was speaking had an accent from another place and looked very arrogant. The two men next to her had wandering eyes and kept observing their surroundings.
The trouser legs of the three of them were spotted with mud. They swallowed unconsciously when they smelled the fragrance, as if they had been hungry for a while.
The three men with hands and feet would not be so hungry even if they were in the fields in the countryside.
Something is wrong. These three people don't look right.
Yan Ye took a look and moved his body to block Xu Xiaoyue inside, "Where did you see her?"
Xu Xiaoyue thought about it carefully, "In the compound, I saw him and Wang Hao hanging out together."
Who is Wang Hao? He is the most uneducated person in the whole compound. He is idle and can't find anything useful to do.
Yan Ye observed carefully for a few seconds, then turned to the woman and said, "I'll catch up with them later. You go find Li and tell him to take a team of people to the suburban reservoir."
His expression was unusually serious, his dark eyes staring at her without a hint of joking.
Xu Xiaoyue's face darkened. She didn't say anything. She moved her fingers and gestured on the table twice, "Is there something wrong with these three people?"
She looked at the man, Yan Ye pursed his lips, and rubbed her slender fingers with his rough big palm to relax her.
"Don't be afraid, it's not a big deal." The man leaned over and spoke almost into her ear.
Xu Xiaoyue remained silent, her brows furrowed.
The stall owner handed the packed noodles to the woman with a smile on her face, "Three bowls of noodles, plus the sauce, a total of 1.5 yuan."
"Three bowls of noodles cost one dollar and fifty cents. Are you trying to fool me?"
The two men next to them spoke, and the three of them stood in front of the stall, looking at the old lady in unison, their faces full of displeasure.
"It was this female comrade who suggested adding meat, so I always added double the amount of marinade." The old lady wiped the sweat from her face and explained carefully with a flattering smile.
"That can't be 1.5 yuan for three bowls of noodles. I can give you 50 cents at most."
As she spoke, the woman rummaged through her pocket, took out fifty cents, threw it in front of the stall, and without even looking at anyone, she walked away with the noodles.
"Oh my god, this is really, what's going on!" The old lady said, her voice filled with tears. It was originally a small business, and she had encountered a bunch of scoundrels.
Xu Xiaoyue and Yan Ye looked at each other, and the man silently took out a dollar and put it under the bowl. "When we are gone, run away quickly, got it?"
Yan Ye stood up, took off his coat with one hand and put it on Xu Xiaoyue's head, "Block the sun and don't let anyone see your face."
This group of people couldn't suppress the bloody smell on their bodies. Yan Ye's eyes were very accurate. The three of them had extremely fierce faces and didn't look like good people. They also had foreign accents. They came from so far away, so it must be no good. He was afraid that there were their accomplices nearby.
"I'm leaving."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and followed without looking back.
Looking at the man's back and remembering the scars on Yan Ye's back in the infirmary, Xu Xiaoyue felt heavy in her heart. They say it's good to be a soldier, but soldiers are always the first to rush forward when something happens.
Xu Xiaoyue had never run so miserably before. The rusty taste in her throat almost made her unable to speak, and her heart was beating wildly.
"I'm looking for Li."
She squeezed out these four short words from her trachea with all her strength.
Fortunately, she had been here twice and was very good-looking, so the comrades at the police station had some impression of her. Seeing that she looked panicked, they did not dare to delay and hurriedly invited her in.
"Are you sure? Yan Tuan said he would take people to the reservoir?" Li's eyes fell on Xu Xiaoyue, and it was obvious that he did not trust her very much.
Leading a team out casually is no joke. If he is not careful and is discovered by his superiors, he will be dismissed.
Xu Xiaoyue recovered her breath and threw the clothes on her head at the man: "These are his clothes. He has already followed. I am not joking when I tell you this. Lead the team and set off immediately!"
She was extremely anxious, her face sullen, her almond-shaped eyes coldly staring at people, she didn't even have time to wipe the sweat off her forehead.
Li took the clothes. He didn't even remember what Yan Tuan usually wore. He hesitated for a second and thought that there was no need for this man to lie to him. If something really happened, he could just put the blame on Xu Xiaoyue.
"Go, notify Team One to assemble and set off now!" Chief Li looked at his subordinates beside him, made up his mind and gave the order directly.
On the other side, Yan Ye followed behind these three people. They were still cursing the lady who cooked the noodles, speaking in their hometown dialect at a very fast speed.
Yan Ye had been to many places in his early years. Judging from the accents of this group of people, they sounded like they were from the south. It seemed that they were saying that they would go back and have a good rest after finishing this job.
His face became increasingly serious, and he followed the others from a distance.
Captain Li and his men drove to a reservoir in the suburbs in a short while, found a remote place to park the car, and searched for most of the day but did not see any human beings.
The area around the reservoir was quiet, without any unusual movement.
"Comrade Xu Xiaoyue, is this the order from Group Yan that you mentioned? Where are the people from Group Yan?" The man's face was gloomy.
"No, since he told us to come here, but he's not here now, something must have happened!" Xu Xiaoyue thought for a moment and said firmly.
"What could possibly happen in broad daylight? Comrade Xu, let me remind you that if you make a false police report, you will also go to jail!"
What Li said was almost certain. He opened the car door and prepared to go back.
Xu Xiaoyue stopped in front of the car and said, "You can't leave. Something must have happened."
