Chapter 37
The morning light poured into the bedroom through the gauze curtains. When Jiang Jiang opened her eyes, the aroma of fried eggs and toast was already lingering in her nose.
She rubbed her eyes and vaguely recalled everything that happened last night.
She and Xiaobai are no longer just ordinary friends!
She and Xiaobai are lovers now!
This is her first time falling in love!
A light humming sound came from the kitchen.
Jiang Jiang got out of bed quietly and found Xiaobai busy in front of the stove wearing that cute apron.
The sunlight gave her a golden edge, and even the ends of her hair were dotted with tiny spots of light.
"Xiaobai, good morning!" Jiang Jiang was startled by his own hoarse voice as soon as he opened his mouth.
She thought of the long kiss last night, her ears began to feel hot again, and she cleared her throat unconsciously.
Xiaobai turned around when he heard the voice, his eyes instantly lit up, "Jiang Jiang!!"
She rushed over in two steps and before Jiang Jiang could react, she had already covered her face with her hands.
"Jiang Jiang!" Xiaobai kissed her loudly on the lips, as proud as a kitten that had stolen a fish. "Good morning kiss!"
Jiang Jiang stood there in a daze, her cheeks turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She nodded mechanically and walked towards the bathroom with her hands and feet together, almost bumping into the door frame.
Her red face was reflected in the mirror. She scooped up some cold water and splashed it on herself, but she couldn't suppress the upturned corners of her mouth.
Seriously, when did Xiaobai become so skilled!
Ahhh, she didn't wash up just now, wouldn't Xiaobai be disgusted with her?
Judging from Xiaobai's appearance, it seems not!
Jiang Jiang immediately started grinning again.
On the table was an exquisite breakfast: fried eggs, charred bacon, perfectly toasted toast, and a cup of steaming milk.
"Jiang Jiang! Today's breakfast is Western style!" Xiaobai sat opposite, his hands supporting his cheeks, staring at Jiang Jiang without blinking.
"Don't you want to eat?" Jiang Jiang felt uncomfortable being stared at and poked the food on the plate with his fork.
"Ah? Let me try it?" Xiaobai said with a smile, and suddenly came closer.
She stole another kiss on Jiang Jiang's lips and licked her lips with satisfaction.
Warm and soft, really comfortable, I love it!
"It tastes good!" Xiaobai exclaimed.
"You..." Jiang Jiang was so embarrassed that she almost jumped up from the chair, but she was defeated when she met Xiaobai's innocent eyes.
She lowered her head resignedly, letting the tips of her ears turn red and bleed.
Breakfast seems to have become even sweeter!
Before going out, Jiang Jiang was changing shoes at the entrance.
Xiaobai came over again in a hurry. She held Jiang Jiang's face and kissed her hard. The sound was so loud that it could be heard in the corridor.
"I almost forgot, the farewell kiss!" Xiaobai muttered.
After experiencing this morning, Jiang Jiang was already numb. He shook his head helplessly and walked towards the elevator.
It was not until she was standing on the subway that she touched her lips and couldn't help laughing.
Xiaobai is so stupid!
But Xiaobai's lips are really soft and comfortable!
The passengers around her looked at her strangely, and she quickly lowered her head, but still couldn't stop smiling.
Before I even got to the company, my phone started vibrating.
The new department manager sent a message: Meet in the conference room at 9:30.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of impromptu meeting notice would definitely make Jiang Jiang irritable, but today she was surprisingly calm, not even as irritable as before, and simply replied with a faint "Got it!"
In the tea room, she met Xiaoan.
Xiaoan had two obvious dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like an eggplant hit by frost.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Jiang handed over a cup of coffee. "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Xiaoan took the coffee, shook his head as if he wanted to say something, and finally said with a sad face, "It's hard to put it into words", then hurried to the meeting room with his notebook.
Jiang Jiang was stunned for a moment, and only came to his senses after being urged by his colleagues. He hurried into the meeting room.
After the meeting, the manager of Xiaoan’s department left their people alone.
Jiang Jiang left with colleagues from other departments. He looked back at Xiaoan's drooping back and decided to ask him what happened during lunch.
Halfway through his work, Jiang Jiang stretched and decided to take a break and go to the bathroom.
Just as she finished and was about to wash her hands, she saw someone standing in the bathroom, which made her freeze in place.
Lin Yue was slowly smoothing her hair in front of the mirror and adjusting her gold-rimmed glasses.
She gave her a meaningful smile from the mirror, "Long time no see, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Jiang's face instantly turned gloomy, and she subconsciously clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Under the bright light in the bathroom, Lin Yue's elegant face looked particularly dazzling.
Jiang Jiang took a deep breath and decided to pretend not to know him. He walked over, washed his hands and prepared to leave.
Anyway, this is a company, a place where people come and go, and Lin Yue would not do something to her in public.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave!" Lin Yue stepped aside to block the door, a meaningful smile curling her red lips. "How are you thinking about the cooperation?"
"I already told you, I'm not interested!" Jiang Jiang said coldly and reached out to push her away.
Lin Yue calmly took out a retro silver pocket watch from his pocket and shook it gently in front of Jiang Jiang.
"You look at it..." Her voice suddenly became low and rhythmic, "Looking at it, you suddenly feel very sleepy, very sleepy..."
Jiang Jiang looked at the swinging pocket watch, "..."
The corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably, and she finally couldn't help rolling her eyes. "Have you watched too many movies? It's the 21st century, who still believes in this kind of hypnosis?"
"Really?" Lin Yue smiled mysteriously. He was not angry, but a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Jiang didn't notice. She was too lazy to argue with her anymore and was about to force the door open to leave when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck.
Her eyes widened. This guy actually launched a sneak attack!
I really can’t find it, Lin Yue really dares to be in her company!!!
"You! You have no moral principles..." Jiang Jiang said this with difficulty and then fainted.
"I never talk about martial ethics." Lin Yue caught the falling Jiang Jiang and spoke lightly, but his expression was more arrogant.
*
In his hazy consciousness, Jiang Jiang heard intermittent conversations.
Her eyelids felt heavy as if they were filled with lead, and the pain in the back of her neck made her frown.
"Doctor, President Wang said that if there are no more research results, he will withdraw the funding!" A deep male voice sounded anxious.
"Tell him to wait a little longer." Lin Yue's voice was a little irritated. "As long as the experimental subjects are in place, I promise! We will figure it out!"
"Doctor, the boss has been waiting for several years..."
"We've been waiting for several years, is this just a moment's delay?" Lin Yue interrupted impatiently, waving her hand, trying to get the bodyguard to leave and not disturb her experiment.
Jiang Jiang quietly opened her eyes a little, and she found that she was thrown into the corner of the laboratory.
She moved slightly, trying not to make any sound.
The bulging pocket means the phone is still there.
I don’t know if Lin Yue and the others were too careless or trusted her too much, so they didn’t even search her body.
As far as the eye can see, there are rows of huge glass culture tanks, with all kinds of mutilated human tissues floating in them.
Jiang Jiang's pupils shrank sharply, his stomach churned, and he quickly closed his eyes.
She tried to calm her fear, carefully moved her wrist, and took out the phone from her pocket...
…
Lin Yue grabbed her hair in frustration, but Xiaobai couldn't catch it, and the research process came to a standstill.
And that Mr. Wang kept urging her, threatening to withdraw his investment, and refused to send her more help. He only gave her two bodyguards who could do nothing and were completely useless!
Bah, what a bunch of trash!
Because of being randomly scratched, the hair was fluffy and stood on top of the head like weeds, and several strands of hair were playfully sticking up.
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside, followed by a bodyguard saying in panic, "Doctor! The police are coming outside!"
"What?" Lin Yue's voice suddenly rose. "Why are the police here?"
The bodyguard said, "It seems someone called the police!"
Lin Yue's expression turned grim. "Who called the police?!"
In the corner, Jiang Jiang spoke weakly but clearly, "I reported it!"
The laboratory suddenly became eerily quiet.
Jiang Jiang moved her body against the wall and sat up, and saw Lin Yue and the two bodyguards looking at her in amazement.
"Why are you..." Lin Yue was shaking with anger. Then she thought of something and immediately turned to the bodyguard, asking sharply, "Why didn't you take her phone away?!"
The two bodyguards looked at each other.
"We are bodyguards, not kidnappers..." one of them muttered.
The other bodyguard wanted to nod in agreement, but seeing Lin Yue's increasingly dark face, he didn't dare to move.
Lin Yue, "****" is indeed a useless bodyguard!
Jiang Jiang stood up little by little with the help of the wall, and met Lin Yue's gaze without fear, with a look of gloating in his eyes.
The two bodyguards couldn't stop it because the police had already entered the door.
Lin Yue glared at Jiang Jiang with a threatening look in his eyes.
She seemed to be saying: Call the police! Aren't you afraid that I'll tell others about Xiaobai?
When the police walked into the laboratory and saw the rows of terrifying glass jars, the leading police officer's face instantly turned ashen. "Take them all away!" he shouted sternly.
Jiang Jiang raised his chin and raised his eyebrows at Lin Yue. Lin Yue understood the meaning in his eyes.
Jiang Jiang was saying that since he dared to call the police, he wouldn't be afraid of telling others about it. Besides, who would believe him if he told others about Xiao Bai's affairs?!
Lin Yue was so angry that he felt like he was fuming, but then he started laughing again.
Jiang Jiang didn't realize that when she finished taking her statement at the police station, it was already evening and the setting sun had already dyed half the sky red.
She stood at the door of the police station and looked up at the glaring sunlight.
Oh, she missed half a day without a reason. This month's perfect attendance bonus is definitely gone! How should I explain to my manager why she missed half a day without a reason?
However, when she thought about Lin Yue going to jail, the fact that her salary was deducted did not affect her good mood.
In fact, after she and Xiaobai escaped from Lin Yue's villa that day, Xiaobai briefly described the situation in the laboratory.
At that time, Jiang Jiang was only concerned with escaping and did not notice the glass jars containing human bodies.
When she heard Xiaobai's story, she had the idea of calling the police, but she had no evidence. In addition, she was afraid that Xiaobai's story would be exposed, so she didn't dare to call the police.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yue actually brought himself a good opportunity this time.
Jiang Jiang took a deep breath, but the bodies in the formalin glass jars in the laboratory were really terrifying!
She tried hard to forget the scene.
However, Lin Yue was in jail, and she felt that Lin Yue would not come out for a few years.
At least Xiaobai won’t have to worry about being remembered anymore!
marvelous!
She called a taxi using an app. The sun was still shining brightly outside the car window, and she felt more relaxed than ever.
When I returned to the company to pack up, I happened to meet Xiaoan coming out of the office with a dejected look. She used to be full of energy, but now she looked like a frost-bitten eggplant.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Jiang walked over with concern.
Xiaoan raised her head, thinking about what happened. Her eyes were red and she sighed deeply. Her voice was choked with sobs, "Liang Rou... Liang Rou might have a partner."
"Ah?" Jiang Jiang widened his eyes in surprise.
How could this be possible? She had been Liang Rou's neighbor for several years, but she had never seen any strange man approach Liang Rou.
At the same time, Xiaobai in the apartment was happily preparing dinner.
When she heard the knock on the door, she jumped to open it like a happy puppy, "Jiang Jiang!!"
But the person outside the door was not Jiang Jiang, but a tall stranger boy.
He was wearing a jersey and shorts and holding a bag of fruit.
When the boy saw Xiaobai, he was obviously stunned and even took a step back to confirm the house number.
"Is this Jiang Jiang's home?" the boy asked with a frown, looking at Xiaobai warily.
Xiaobai also frowned slightly, "Who are you?"
The boy didn't answer. Instead, he walked into the house familiarly and took out slippers from the shoe cabinet skillfully. "Let me ask you, who are you and why are you in Jiang Jiang's house?"
