half thorns, half joy

"Listen, people inside, you have nowhere to escape, stop doing unnecessary struggles, put down your weapons quickly! Surrender!"

The sound of the horn for negotiating and persuading surrender echoed in the mountains, Xiao Zihan leaned on the car, his eyes were gently closed.

It wasn't until the cigarette butt in his mouth burned to the end that he slowly opened his eyes, took down the cigarette butt, threw it on the ground, and crushed it with his feet.

He was thinking about Tang Xuan.

According to what he knew about Tang Xuan, if he sent so many people to guard the house, Tang Xuan would definitely become suspicious and ask himself what was going on.

Tang Xuan is so smart, she must be able to guess that something serious happened.

Also definitely, will worry about him.

Having gone through so many ups and downs together, Xiao Zihan no longer doubted Tang Xuan's feelings for him. He deeply knew that Tang Xuan's feelings for him must be no less than his feelings for Tang Xuan.

However, he still couldn't accept that Tang Xuan lied to him.

Not only did she hide it from him, but she also used him in a roundabout way.

It really hurt him.

However, knowing that Tang Xuan would be worried, but resisting not to contact Tang Xuan, Xiao Zihan was also uncomfortable.

He loves her so much, he really doesn't want her to suffer even the slightest grievance.

At this time, Ke Ke walked towards Xiao Zihan.

The night wind was heavy, and Ke Ke was wearing thin clothes. She crossed her arms and walked in front of Xiao Zihan. As if she had seen Xiao Zihan's mind, she said softly:
"Don't blame Tang Xuan, I really don't blame her for this matter."

Xiao Zihan raised his eyes to look at Ke Ke, his eyes were so indifferent that they could almost melt into the night.

Ke Ke was very uncomfortable being looked at by the cold eyes, but she still bite the bullet and said, "You might as well imagine, if Tang Xuan told you that her friend was in Deng Li's hands, what would you do? Can you hold back?" ?"

Xiao Zihan remained silent.

If Tang Xuan asked him to help save her friend, he would definitely not sit idly by.

"You love Tang Xuan so much, so you will definitely help me, right?" Ke Ke spoke out for Xiao Zihan, and then continued: "But, who is Deng Li, no matter how powerful you are, you should be a bit wary of him, right? , Tang Xuan was worried about me and wanted to save me, but she was also worried about you. How could she just let you have a conflict or an enemy with Deng Li like this? It's only been how long since you took over the Xiao family, have you established yourself and become an enemy of Deng Liming? .”

Although it was sophistry, Xiao Zihan listened to these words.

That's right, besides not wanting him to know about the past, Tang Xuan kept it from him, was it because she was worried about him?

Love, sometimes it does make people blindfolded.

Xiao Zihan's already hesitant heart suddenly softened.

Officer Liu was standing not far from Xiao Zihan directing the final negotiation. Hearing the conversation between Ke Ke and Xiao Zihan, he put down the walkie-talkie in his hand and walked towards Xiao Zihan.

The reason Xiao Zihan was able to stay here and surround Deng Li with the police was because Xiao Zihan had a special status, but Xiao Zihan's most fundamental status was that of ordinary people, and he was still protected by the police.

"Mr. Xiao, I have to tell you this. You should report to your family that you are safe. Otherwise, if your family members find the police station, we will be very embarrassed."

"Mr. Xiao..." Ke Ke also agreed.

However, Police Officer Liu was completely thinking about Xiao Zihan's family, so Ke Ke had some selfishness in mind.

Xiao Zihan was already shaken a lot, but at this moment, being talked about by these two people from left to right, he couldn't hold on for a moment.

He clicked his tongue, took out his mobile phone, and walked towards the deserted mountain in the distance.

"Where are you going?" Police Officer Liu called Xiao Zihan worriedly, "Don't go too far, it will be terrible if there are Deng Li's ambush over there!"

Xiao Zihan waved his hand, called two of his confidantes, and followed him.

It's too noisy here, he didn't want Tang Xuan to hear such a chaotic scene on the phone, he didn't want...to make Tang Xuan more worried.

Xiao Zihan didn't stop until he reached a small hill. The moonlight swept across the ground, dyeing the ground a hazy silver.

Different from the bustling urban area, in this place, when you look up, you can still see the Milky Way dotted with stars.

Xiao Zihan sat down on the spot, looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky, and dialed Tang Xuan's cell phone number.

After the call was made, his sore heart calmed down a lot.

In the villa, Tang Xuan and Zhao Suizhi were sitting opposite each other.

The two didn't say a word, each holding a cup of hot tea, the tea became cold little by little, and the two of them didn't see a sip.

Suddenly, Tang Xuan's mobile phone on the coffee table rang deafeningly.

Surprised, everyone looked at Tang Xuan's phone.

Tang Xuan was no exception.

The word "husband" jumped on the screen, Tang Xuan's pupils dilated little by little, and she grabbed the phone and picked it up.

"Zi Han!"

Xiao Zihan was taken aback by this call of surprise and joy, he was slightly startled, and then hummed softly.

"it's me."

Hearing the all-too-familiar voice, Tang Xuan's nose immediately became sore. She resisted the urge to cry and asked Xiao Zihan, "Zihan, where are you? Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Xiao Zihan felt sore in his heart. He took a breath and asked Tang Xuan, "Are you okay, are you okay at home, are you okay, mother?"

Tang Xuan looked up at Zhao Suizhi who was full of nervous eyes, hummed, and handed the phone to Zhao Suizhi, "Mom, it's Zihan's number."

Zhao Suizhi answered the phone.

"Zihan, what are you doing? There are so many bodyguards outside, what's going on?"

Compared to Tang Xuan, Zhao Suizhi's voice was much harsher.

Tang Xuan sat across from Zhao Suizhi with the tea table in between. She couldn't hear what Xiao Zihan explained to Zhao Suizhi. livid.

Zhao Suizhi's voice suddenly rose, and he shouted sharply: "Xiao Zihan, let me tell you, no matter what you want to do, you have to think about it. You have a wife and children at home, so you must protect yourself!"

After she finished speaking, she threw the phone to Tang Xuan without waiting for Xiao Zihan's answer.

Tang Xuan was also taken aback by Zhao Suizhi's anger. She swallowed after taking the phone, and then opened her mouth cautiously.

"Hey, Zihan, are you still listening?"

Xiao Zihan smiled wryly, "I'm listening, I haven't seen my mother get so angry for a long time, she didn't kill you, did she?"

Tang Xuan shook her head, "No, Mom is just worried about you. There are suddenly so many bodyguards outside, and you can't get through to the phone. We are all worried about you."

The emotion of self-blame spread infinitely in Xiao Zihan's heart, and he suddenly felt guilty, deeply feeling that he shouldn't disappear just because of a little thing and jealousy, and make his family worry.

"I'm sorry, I'm...too busy, I didn't take care of it." Xiao Zihan told a white lie.

"It's fine, as long as you're fine. Then where are you now, and when are you coming back?" Tang Xuan asked.

Xiao Zihan glanced at the specific time displayed on his mobile phone, then looked at the police car in the distance behind the hill, thought for a while before answering: "It's probably going to be too late to go back tonight, don't wait for me anymore, rest early Bar."

Knowing that Tang Xuan would definitely be worried, he added, "Tell mom, don't be afraid. The reason for adding bodyguards at home is because I'm not around. I'm afraid that some villain will sneak up on you. It's not a big deal. Officer Liu is together, it's okay."

"Well, good." The gentle Tang Xuan could tell that Xiao Zihan was still busy, so she didn't want to ask more questions and waste Xiao Zihan's time.

"Then go ahead and call me when you're free," she said.

Xiao Zihan replied with a smile: "Okay, I will, you go to bed early."

"know."

The conversation between the two was warm and heart-warming. However, just as they were saying their goodbyes affectionately, Tang Xuan hadn't finished saying "Be careful", when she heard a loud noise from Xiao Zihan's phone.

Immediately afterwards, the phone was disconnected.
