Qi Yan lowered his eyelashes, turned his head, stared at the fire that had just been filled with firewood, and puffed out smoke silently.

Only when the cigarette is burned out, he exhales the last puff of smoke and throws the cigarette butt into the fire.

Stroll over here.

He squatted beside the old man who was talking nonsense out of fear, and his lips curled up.

"You can come with me now."

"Do not kill me……"

"..."

The old man raised his head while muttering, and saw Qi Yan squatting in front of him, smiling relaxedly. He could also catch a glimpse of the ground behind her, where he saw the lifeless, bloody arm.

The rest of the words stuck.

My back suddenly felt cold and I swallowed my saliva. My brain felt like it was frozen and I couldn't move at all.

The larynx could not make any sound and could only tremble and shrink continuously.

……

Qi Yan sat in the car, pressing the pager. The old man huddled in the back seat. His emotions had calmed down a little, but he still didn't dare to make any noise.

Watching her every move timidly and vigilantly.

for a long time.

As if he realized that Qi Yan had no intention of killing him, he plucked up the courage to speak.

"Are you a human or a ghost? Who sent you?"

Such terrifying strength is simply impossible without elite special training.

Qi Yan put down the pager, started the car, glanced in the rearview mirror, and said lightly.

"Ghosts probably can't drive. As for which one, you'll find out soon enough."

The old man got the answer, but he still felt heavy-hearted.

I wrapped myself tightly in my worn-out cotton-padded jacket, but even though the air conditioner in the car was turned on high, I still felt cold all over.

Looking at the mountain road outside the window, the old face was reflected on the car glass, and there were a few more strands of white hair on the temples.

He closed his eyes in resignation.

I have been hiding for so many years, but now I can't hide anymore...

noon.

After arriving in Huai City, Qi Yan took the old man out for dinner and stayed in a shopping mall in the downtown area for a while.

The old man was wearing the military coat Qi Yan gave him, eating rice, and looking around vigilantly and nervously.

He hasn't been down the mountain for more than ten years, and the city has changed so much that he can't quite adapt.

The conspicuous outfit also attracted a lot of people's attention.

Just when he was extremely nervous, Qi Yan came back with a bag and placed a bottle of mineral water in front of the old man.

"Don't choke."

The old man nodded, opened the bottle and took a few sips, his eyes falling on the bag in her hand.

"What have you been doing?"

After spending a few hours together, he was no longer so afraid of Qi Yan.

This little girl, except that she acts like a ruthless executioner when killing people, is a pretty good person otherwise.

Qi Yan put the bag aside, propped up her face and watched him eat.

"You'll know it soon enough."

"..."

It was the same excuse again. The old man was somewhat used to it. He picked up a piece of meat and glared at her.

"You don't want to eat? I won't leave any for you."

"You eat, you eat, I'm not hungry."

Qi Yan waved her hand and looked at the street outside the restaurant. She sat by the window, glanced at the black cars below, glanced at the bag, and sighed softly.

After eating and drinking enough.

The old man had just fastened his seat belt in the back seat when Qi Yan pulled the handbrake and shifted the car into gear, with a barely perceptible smile in his voice.

"Just sit tight and tell me if you feel like vomiting."

"what?"

The voice just fell.

The car suddenly rushed out, and the old man's body almost hit the passenger seat in front due to inertia.

Before he could raise any objections, the car tilted to the left again. Qi Yan swung the steering wheel and completely got rid of the people behind him in the busy downtown area before he could maintain a normal speed.

"...You are too reckless, girl."

The old man covered his frightened heart, his lips turned pale, he leaned back in his chair, and gasped heavily.

Qi Yan even kindly handed over the tissue...

When we arrived at the imperial capital, it was already evening and the sky was gradually darkening.

On the way back.

Three of Qi Yan's cars were smashed and scrapped. After she got out of the car, she stared at the rear window that was shot through again and gritted her teeth.

When this is over, they must pay!

The old man was so frightened that his whole body went cold; the last bullet almost hit the back of his head!

The experience of these few hours was equivalent to several decades of his life, and it felt like his already short life span was shortened by a few years.

When I got off the car, I was still shaking.

Qi Yan didn't urge her.

At this moment.

Mu Yuan had a messy hair, a layer of stubble on his face, and dark circles under his eyes. He looked unkempt, and it was obvious that he had been up all night.

When Mu Yuan saw Qi Yan, he patted her shoulder and yawned.

"What's the matter? You said you brought someone to me. Who?"

He squinted his eyes, his vision blurred by the tears caused by yawning. When his vision became clear and he saw the old man who had just got off the bus, his pupils trembled and he blinked violently.

As if he was unsure, he walked over quickly and confirmed again and again.

"Cheng, Mr. Cheng?"

"You are not..."

Isn't he dead?

A person who had been missing for many years and was presumed dead suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Mu Yuan rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was still asleep and was hallucinating.

When Cheng Liangzhe saw Mu Yuan, he snorted coldly at first, then stretched out his hands, put them together and raised them over.

"What are you still standing there for? Torture him!"

Now that it has come to this, there is no need to be hesitant. There will be no worse outcome than death.

"..."

Mu Yuan looked at the hand he stretched out, then looked at Qi Yan who nodded.

Suddenly looking up at the sky.

Is he really not awake?

When Mu Yuan received Cheng Liangzhe's confession, he was still confused, and it was only when Qi Yan knocked on his desk that he came back to his senses.

He coughed lightly and looked at Qi Yan who was sitting opposite the desk and flipping through a fax.

"How did you find him?"

Cheng Liangzhe, who is seventy years old this year, was a well-known figure in the imperial capital back then.

Otherwise he wouldn't remember this person's face.

He just suddenly disappeared fifteen years ago. He had no father or mother and no family. It was their unit that reported the case at the beginning.

At that time, his career was going smoothly. Who would have thought that he would end up in the mountains and forests?

He was so devastated that he looked like a nobody.

Mu Yuan felt a little complicated. The water here was probably so deep that he couldn't see the bottom.

Qi Yan took the A4 paper, quickly scanned the words on it, and said seriously.

"I know magic."

"..."

Mu Yuan was almost choked to death by her.

Is this a joke?!

Pinch the bridge of your nose to relieve the soreness in your eyes and smooth out the rise and fall of your chest.

"Okay, if you don't want to talk, I won't ask. The investigator sent by the Qi family is coming, and I will pass it on to him. If there is anything, you can contact him later."

Qi Yan nodded, indicating that he understood.

Without asking any more questions, Mu Yuan saw that she didn't ask any more questions, so he didn't say anything more.

He took the paper from her hand, pouted and started to chase people away.

"We left at this time yesterday and returned from the north at this time today. We must have not slept all night. Let's go back and catch up on some sleep. Go, go, go."

Before Qi Yan was kicked out, Mu Yuan warned her not to drive while tired and handed Pei Shu, who had just woken up next door, to her.

"Let Xiaoshu take you there."

After saying this, he disappeared without giving Qi Yan a chance to refuse.

"..."

Qi Yan and Pei Shu stood beside the car at the entrance of the detachment, staring at each other.

Pei Shu's mind was clear at this moment, and he was attentive and shy.

"Sister Yan, let me take you home. Do you want to take my car or yours?"

As he spoke, he took out his keys.

Deer-like eyes looked over expectantly.
