Chapter 55 Chapter 55 If you have nothing to do today, would you like to...
Scorching heat waves rolled in from all sides.
The shiny black leather shoes made a series of tapping sounds on the ground.
The fleeing man tripped over a heavy bag on the ground and nearly fell to the ground. The flames that rolled from the trees to the grass licked the ground and swallowed the bag in an instant.
Ma Hongfei couldn't remember how the fire started, nor did he remember how he ended up here. The surrounding scene was unfamiliar, but he couldn't remember anything at all.
He just felt very weak and dizzy, which made his memory fuzzy. He only remembered that someone seemed to say...
escape.
Yes, he wants to escape.
Let’s get out of here first!
Ma Hongfei subconsciously touched the knife that was always hanging behind his waist, but found nothing. A dark yellow corner of his clothes was lifted up, and the sleeves were tightly tied to his arms, making it inconvenient for him to move.
Ma Hongfei had no choice but to put his hands down. He coughed a few times due to the smoke from the fire, and pulled open the collar of his white shirt. He saw a stone path in front of him on the right. The fire seemed to be smaller, so he immediately went in.
"This is your territory, do you want to chase him?" Bai Qingqing looked at Shen Tang.
The dark murderous look on her face had long since faded away, and her fair face was reflected orange-red by the firelight. The tears in her eyes were crystal clear, shining with a clear light, and her mouth was grinning as if she was half crying and half laughing.
"I understand." Shen Yan took a deep breath.
This was the case for the previous seven times. Qingqing opened up a territory for her, and all her actions and needs in the territory were determined by her thoughts.
Before, her heart was filled with hatred and she acted too quickly. But today was different. She was calm and only felt relieved.
Shen Tang: "Let him run a few laps first, he has to save himself."
Ma Hongfei shuttled through the garden, and his vague memories gradually became clear. He remembered that this was his own yard, and it seemed that an enemy was coming to kill him. He and Lu Weixian led their troops to fight in two groups.
At this time, all his men had been killed, so he had to hide in the yard. When his enemies saw him going into the garden, they set it on fire to force him to show up!
They have people at the front door and the back door, and he definitely cannot take the obvious exits. The fire at the side door and the side door is too big, but he can only choose one. He thinks the other party will not risk their lives to block him there!
Let’s bet!
After walking around the garden for a few laps, Ma Hongfei ran back to the pond, jumped into the water, climbed out after getting soaked, and looked towards the position of Shen Jian in the yard.
A pair of eyes penetrated her body. She had no idea that there were two people standing here, and ran firmly towards the side door in her memory.
Shen Yan turned around, wiped away the tears on her face with cold eyes, and turned her hand to find a heavy knife with a tiger head carved on it: "I'm going."
"Well, I'll wait for you here."
The entire garden was burning with heat waves, the branches and leaves made crackling sounds, and sparks fell down.
Ma Hongfei was forced back by the heat waves several times, and kept finding his way in the fire. He also avoided being tracked by two groups of people. He was choked by the smoke and his steps were weak. He just felt that the road in the fire was extremely long.
Fortunately, the two groups of people chasing him were idiots!
He was so busy trying to avoid the fire and escape that he almost let him escape right under his nose.
Ma Hongfei smiled, tried his best to cover his mouth and nose with his wet clothes, opened his eyes wide to find the way, and approached the exit step by step. In the heavy firelight, he saw a familiar knife being held behind the door.
He paused, then quickly quickened his pace and walked forward happily.
Brother Lu will definitely not be able to wait for him to come back to support him!
The entire blade appeared in his field of vision, and the figure holding the heavy sword gradually appeared. Ma Hongfei suddenly stopped, and the burnt wooden plank on the side door fell between the two of them with a clang.
Sparks flew, burning the skirt of the person in front of him. Shen Yan held up a heavy knife and forced Ma Hongfei back into the fire. When Ma Hongfei turned around and ran away, he raised his knife and slashed at his back!
"ah--!"
A crackling sound came from his back, as if a hot iron had burned his flesh. Ma Hongfei's body stiffened with pain. Ma Hongfei was almost in pain and almost lost his soul. He was half-out of his shell and was shocked back into his body by a burst of pressure.
"As long as you can escape, I will let you live."
A faint female voice echoed in his mind, and Ma Hongfei's memory became clearer, his eyes filled with fear.
Everyone outside is hers.
Her people have surrounded the house tightly!
Ma Hongfei suddenly felt like crying but had no tears. He didn't even remember which ancestor he had offended to have brought so many people to seek revenge. He had to quicken his pace and ran again despite the severe pain in his back.
But there were huge fires all around, and even the bluestone pavement was burning hot. No matter where he ran, he could see the evil woman in front of him.
The man seemed to be trying to escape from him, stabbing him from time to time, but not wanting to kill him, giving him a chance to run away.
Ma Hongfei's body was covered in blood, and the glaring bloodstains stained his entire yellow suit. His skin was also burned red and black by the flames that accidentally touched it.
His consciousness had long begun to blur and his breathing became increasingly difficult. For a moment he wondered if he had been possessed by an evil spirit, but no matter what the evil was, he had to run for his life.
All the roads around were blocked by the fire. After dodging for two rounds, Ma Hongfei finally returned to the pond where he had started.
The surrounding trees had been burned beyond recognition, with bright specks of ashes floating in the air.
Ma Hongfei didn't know how long he had been hiding underwater. When he became unconscious, the entire surface of the water above his head suddenly caught fire. Before he could feel the water becoming warm, he broke through the flames on the water and escaped, facing a pair of calm eyes of a woman on the shore.
Ma Hongfei's eyes were about to burst with fear.
While facing the woman in front of him, he was terrified by the flames burning his back and body.
He didn't know how a person could remain conscious for so long when his whole body was burning.
He should have fainted long ago.
But he was still very conscious. He was dragged to the ground, curled up into a ball, and felt the burning pain all over his body.
"You slaughtered my entire Shen family. Do you regret it?" Shen Yan squatted in front of him and asked him.
Ma Hongfei looked stunned, and suddenly his mind connected with the memory of killing the Shen family. He remembered that he had stabbed Shen Zhuo, the head of the Shen family...
"ah!"
Ma Hongfei coughed up a mouthful of blood from his throat and curled up even tighter. He covered his abdomen with his hands, whose flesh had long been burned, and watched with wide eyes as the tiger-head knife was pulled out of his stomach.
The images in his mind and the pain in his body overlapped, and he couldn't help but recall the second person in the Shen family...
The third person, the fourth person...
Knife after knife fell on the similar place in his memory. Ma Hongfei's screams had long since turned into fear of the woman in front of him due to the pain.
This face belongs to the eldest daughter of the Shen family and the next president of the Shen family Chamber of Commerce.
“You are…Chen Yan…” Ma Hongfei was so burned that he could hardly speak. Two lines of tears washed away the ashes on his face and fell to the ground.
"Yes, I am Shen Yan."
Shen Tang threw away the knife, waiting for Ma Hongfei to be completely burned to death like his little sister in the end.
"Oh...oh..."
His lungs had been punctured long ago and his throat had been burned by the fire. He could no longer utter a word and his eyes slowly shifted to the dark sky.
Sparks fell into his pupils.
He closed his eyes.
retribution.
It's his retribution.
Even if he dies, he will not let Shen Tang go even if he becomes a ghost! !
The world suddenly became quiet and pitch black. There was no flames blazing around, and no blood on the ground. There was only the rippling water of a pond in front of him, pushing the reflection of the dim street lamp.
The man in the dark yellow suit was curled up on the ground, as if he was having a nightmare, with a terrified expression and a pale face.
One of his shoes was missing and the toe of his sock was torn, revealing his toes with a knocked-out nail.
Bai Qingqing stood beside Shen Yan, watching with her as Ma Hongfei's soul was burned to ashes by the spiritual fire in Lu Da's body.
"It's past two o'clock. Do you want to go home and sleep?" Bai Qingqing yawned.
Shen Tang looked fine. To be more precise, there was no expression on her face at all. Bai Qingqing had no idea what she was thinking. She stretched her arms and stretched lazily.
Now that the work was done, she could finally feel at ease with her faith.
Shen Yan squatted on the ground in silence for a while, then stood up and smiled at Bai Qingqing, "Go back."
"Then let's go." Bai Qingqing took out a lighter from her pocket and lit the yellow talisman.
Shen Tang took the initiative to hold Bai Qingqing's hand: "Thank you."
*
The next morning.
The incident in which Mr. Lu, CEO of Dawen Electronics, was suspected of being attacked was reported on the morning news.
When Bai Qingqing came downstairs, Bai Shuting and Bai Lincheng, father and son, were watching the news. The surveillance footage of the Lu family yard was zoomed in, saying that Lu Da was found by the housekeeper in the yard of his own mansion early in the morning.
He had multiple bumps and wounds on his body and was missing a shoe. He was suspected of being attacked and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital.
No personal belongings were missing, there were no signs of theft in the house, and the surveillance footage did not capture any suspicious persons.
The police are currently investigating.
Bai Qingqing glanced at the tablet as she sat down at the dining table, drank the warm water handed to her by Sister Qiao in one gulp, and listened in passing.
Ao Xinyi asked curiously, "Darwen Electronics has a partnership with us, right? Is it connected with this person named Lu Da?"
Bai Shuting sighed, "Yes, President Lu flew back to China last night. He was supposed to have a meeting with them this afternoon, but it seems that it won't be held."
Ao Xinyi frowned, looking a little worried: "How could this happen?"
Bai Shuting could hear the worry in his wife's words and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will check what's going on behind this and I will be careful."
As he spoke, Bai Shuting closed the tablet and gave Bai Qingqing a kind smile: "Qingqing, come down."
Bai Qingqing paused after sitting down, looked at Bai Shuting with a slightly stiff expression, and tried to maintain a friendly smile, then suddenly smiled: "Well, I'm coming down."
"Then... let's eat!" Bai Shuting patted his eldest son, asked him to put away the newspaper, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started to eat breakfast, and his eyes occasionally glanced at Bai Qingqing.
Bai Qingqing had been home for more than a week, but Bai Shuting still had difficulty chatting with his daughter, and he could only smile at her every time.
He tried his best to explore Qingqing's preferences, but the time between father and daughter was still too little, so he thought about it and asked, "Qingqing, what are your plans for today?"
As soon as Bai Shuting said this, the sound of dishes colliding on the dining table quieted down.
Ao Xinyi, Bai Siqi and Bai Muning all looked at him. Bai Qingqing also stopped what she was doing and looked at him with a puzzled look.
Qingqing didn't answer for a moment.
Bai Shuting felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. He spoke faster than his mind and blurted out, "You said you don't have any plans for the future. I think you should know more about the direction so that you can make a better choice."
"If you have nothing to do today, would you like to go to the company with me to work for a day?"
