Gu Tianqin was busy in the kitchen preparing the ingredients for bread, desserts and milk tea to be sold tomorrow, and did not notice that the store door was quietly opened with a key.

On the quiet street, the crowds gradually disappeared, leaving only the neon street lights elongating the two sneaky figures. Although they were tall, their hands and feet were unexpectedly light.

After a while, the anti-theft lock was opened. The moment they pushed the glass door open, the two of them looked around cautiously. When they found no one there, they immediately entered the store.

The store was empty at the moment, with only a warm and soft light left, providing convenience for the two men to commit crimes.

The two exchanged quick glances without speaking to each other, but they had a tacit understanding and quickly began to work together.

One walked up to the surveillance camera and began to destroy the surveillance camera in the store, while the other quietly walked toward the brightly lit back kitchen.

Gu Tianqin had just prepared the ingredients for tomorrow, and she raised her hands to rub her sore neck with a tired look. The long hours of bowing her head and standing at work not only made her shoulders and neck very uncomfortable, but also her lower back began to ache. numb.

While she was massaging her neck to relieve the discomfort, she was thinking about whether she should find time to go to Uncle Han's place and get acupuncture or something.

After pressing it for a while, she felt that her neck was relieved. Just when she was about to turn around and prepare to pour herself a glass of water, she suddenly saw a very strange and burly figure reflected on the huge oven door approaching her quietly.

She was startled, and all the blood on her face faded away. She felt as if someone had poured cold water on her in the cold winter months, and her limbs froze instantly. She wanted to turn around to confirm whether she had seen it right, but because of the extreme Frightened and temporarily incapacitated, Gu Tianqin could only suppress the fear in his heart as he saw the man approaching step by step. He kept taking deep breaths and constantly telling himself to be calm and calm! calm!

Only by calming down can she seize the opportunity to escape! !

She quickly calmed down her mood, stabilized her breathing, and her brain began to work at high speed.

The current situation is very unfavorable to her. She doesn't know who the other party is and what its purpose is. Are there any accomplices? If she turns back rashly, she will only alert the enemy and put herself in a more dangerous and passive situation.

What she has to do now is to stand still and then strike preemptively to seize the opportunity to escape from behind.

Thinking of this, Gu Tianqin, who could move his limbs, pretended to be nonchalant as he picked up the hot water bottle and poured water for himself, but he was always paying attention to the movements of the people behind him from the corner of his eyes.

When she saw the man behind her through the refraction of the oven door raising the white handkerchief in his hand and slowly approaching her, she made a quick decision and opened the hot water kettle and poured it in the man's face.

The man accidentally had scalding water splashed all over his face, and the piercing pain immediately made the man scream.

Gu Tianqin took advantage of the man covering his face and screaming in pain, and immediately threw the kettle in his hand at the man. The man staggered after being hit by the hot water kettle, and was doused all over by the remaining hot water in the kettle.

Suddenly there was another howl.

Gu Tianqin took advantage of his illness and ran for her life. She immediately turned around and ran towards the back door.

The back door of her kitchen was a door she specially used to facilitate the entry and exit of food waste. She opened the door just when she was cleaning up the kitchen, so if she ran towards the back door, she would have a high probability of escaping.

Seeing the prey he was about to capture running away, the man ignored his burned face and shouted quickly: "Old Gen, come and help!"

Lao Gen was the man who sabotaged the surveillance in the store. In fact, when he heard his companion screaming, he immediately stopped what he was doing and ran to the kitchen.

But no matter how fast he moved, he was still a step too late. When he entered the kitchen, he happened to see the woman's figure disappearing through the back door of the kitchen.

The anger in his eyes suddenly rose, he cursed in his mouth, and ran towards the prey as fast as possible without caring about his companions.

As soon as Gu Tianqin ran out of the back door, she ignored the darkness in the alley and ran with all her strength towards the light outside the alley. Her survival instinct made her eyes burst with strong hope.

The alley is very dark, and the garbage discarded from the surrounding shops is piled here all year round. Even if there are dedicated personnel to clean it up in time, the sultry summer still makes the smell here very unpleasant.

Gu Tianqin, who was in a hurry to escape, couldn't care much. In her eyes, there was only a glimmer of light outside the alley.

Because the beam of light outside the alley was like a powerful ax that split open the despair and darkness in her heart. It not only brought a ray of warmth to her cold and panicked heart, but also illuminated the dirty road under her feet.

She thought that as long as she could run out of this dark alley, she would be able to escape safely.

Seeing her getting closer and closer to that beam of light, excitement began to surge in her heart.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the back of my head.

The sound of "clang" was the sound of a baseball bat hitting the ground.

Gu Tianqin's body swayed unsteadily. The buzzing in her ears and the increasingly intense dizziness in her brain made her fall to the ground weakly.

She raised her eyes to the light source with difficulty, feeling a strong reluctance in her heart. She was so unwilling... She had obviously escaped, and there was only one step left, just the last step... before she could be saved.

However, no amount of unwillingness can withstand the surging darkness.

The light in her eyes also went out as her eyelids slowly closed...

Lao Gen ran out, just in time to see the prey that fainted on the ground and the man playing with a baseball bat and smoking leisurely beside him.

As soon as Lao Gen saw him, he immediately put away his fierce expression, bowed respectfully to the man and shouted: "Brother Hui."

The man named Brother Hui lazily raised his chin and ordered: "Move to the car, you loser!"

"Yes!"

Beijing, the old residence of the Lu family.

In the large and solemn study, the current leader of the Lu family, Lu Zhengtang and Lu Jinbei, were playing chess silently. Although the grandfather and grandson were fighting to the death on the chessboard, their faces were indifferent.

After a long time, the outcome was decided, Lu Zhengtang dropped the white chess piece, and said with dissatisfaction but also hint of pride: "Bad boy, playing chess with you is getting more and more boring now. Forget about the hard and cold expression. He was so ruthless, killing me without mercy after a few rounds, and I didn’t even know how to give him more, do you understand how to respect me?”

Lu Jinbei just lowered his head and silently cleared up the chess game, letting the old man complain.

Seeing his grandson acting like a gourd, Lu Zhengtang became furious. He waved his hands like he was shooing flies away and said: "Go, go, go, three sticks can't beat you, I'll get angry just by looking at you. Get out of here, don't stand in my way."

Lu Jinbei slowly put down the chess piece in his hand, stood up gracefully, and said warmly: "Grandpa, remember to watch the video tape."

Lu Zhengtang: "I know, I know!"

After finishing speaking, he paused and said, "Did you ask someone to bring this belt to Lao Li?"

Lu Jinbei nodded.

"Okay, you just have to make arrangements. Just do whatever you want. You have to remember your identity. You are the grandson of the Lu family. As long as what you want to do is what you think is right, good for the country and good for the Lu family. Whatever is beneficial will do.”

When Lu Jinbei heard this, an imperceptible smile flashed through his deep black eyes, and he responded softly: "Okay."

At the same time, Gu Zhiruan was happily taking a bath in the bathroom while humming a tuneless song: "I love bathing, my skin feels good, oooooooooo~~la la la la la~ oooooooo~~"

While she was singing happily, she suddenly felt a stabbing pain in her heart, and her brain went blank for a moment. Although she was still in a warm bath, her body began to gradually become cold, and her hands and feet began to tremble involuntarily.

She was a little baffled by the sudden uneasiness. She was still wondering if she felt this way because she exercised too much today and was too tired, which caused her heart to be overloaded.

But when she thought about it again, she felt that something was wrong. She often overloaded herself with exercise, and her heart had never been as heavy as it was now. This unfamiliar feeling made her a little at a loss. It was unpredictable, but it also gave her no reason to continue taking a bath. good mood.

She could only rinse the foam off her body randomly, put on her clothes and quickly walked out of the bathroom.

Lu Jinbai, who was lying on the bed watching TV, was very surprised when she came out: "Didn't you say you wanted to take a good bath? Why did you take a bath so quickly?"

Seeing that her long hair was still dripping with water, she ignored her curiosity and quickly got out of bed, picked up the towel she had just wiped her hair with and wiped her shoulder-length hair, and kept nagging: "Why did you come out? Why don't you just blow dry your hair and come out? It's dripping with water."

She didn't hear her answer for a while. Only then did Lu Jinbai notice that her good sister's face looked very strange. She asked anxiously: "Xiao Ruan? Xiao Ruan? What's wrong with you? Your face is so ugly? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Gu Zhiruan did not answer Xiaobai's question, but turned around and held Lu Jinbai's hand, saying in a panic: "Xiaobai, I want to call my mother."

Without waiting for Lu Jinbai to ask any more questions, she hurried to the bedside, picked up the mobile phone she had just thrown on the bed, found her mother's number and dialed it.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered it, and Gu Zhiruan's heart became heavier and heavier.
