Xu Anyi looked ahead, then squeezed his face, "It's going to be fine. Panpan also promised us to have dinner tomorrow."

Lin Jiqiao closed his eyes, not seeing her flickering eyes.

Xu Anyi probably guessed why.

Gu Pan is Hengyi's legal representative. I don't know what agreement she has with Hengyi's parent company Xinhong Media, but Xinhong is indeed using Hengyi as a shell to launder the money. Panpan may be deliberately ignoring it, or knowing it. , and also got a share of it.

However, there have been frequent scandals in the entertainment industry recently, and the national tax reform, Cha Hengyi is a matter of time.

Gu Pan said on the phone that it had been resolved, which was probably a lie.

But she didn't tell Curly that it was inappropriate to drive.

Hearing Curly talk so much about the past, the phrase "Your wife, take care of yourself" suddenly changed, as if every word revealed the despair of being abandoned by everyone.

Xu Anyi and Lin Jiqiao arrived at Baima Lake 10 minutes earlier than the time estimated by the map.

Chapter 65

Gu Pan's car was parked in the withered weeds under the dirt road.

Xu Anyi stopped the car and pulled the handbrake, unfastened his seat belt, and leaned over to take the tablet from Lin Jiqiao's lap.

"It's been a while."

Lin Jiqiao followed the tablet to the middle of the two seats, his hair was soaked in water and stuck to his scalp, and there was a dark stain on the collar.

The small yellow dot on the map stayed at a position 400 meters away from the parking point in a straight line, stuck on the outline of the waters of Baima Lake.

This place was originally planned to be built into a park, but the project was shelved later. The terrain captured by the satellite a few years ago was not so seamless, and it was difficult to distinguish which side the little yellow dot was on.

After half a minute, remembering the terrain around the little yellow spot, Xu Anyi walked around to the passenger driver, opened the door, and hugged Curly, "I'll go first. Chen Xi is here too, it's okay."

Lin Jiqiao covered his eyes and repeated: "You go first, it's fine."

Xu Anyi unscrewed the water and handed it over, "Add water."

Lin Jiqiao pushed her, "Go!"

After the figure disappeared into the tall wild thorn bush, Lin Jiqiao took out another paper bag he had prepared and took the second dose of medicine.

During the winter, it is windy and rainy, the wild thorns in the wasteland are drooping, and clusters of red fruits hang on the twigs with loose leaves.

Further on, there are more magnolias planted loosely, and more unnamed weeds and vines crawling on the mud.

When we arrived at the sparse open space, two series of footprints of varying depths could be vaguely discerned on the ground, winding and pointing to the small soil bumps that undulate hundreds of meters horizontally ahead.

Xu Anyi went up the small slope in one breath, and looked back with a feeling in his heart. From such a distance, closing the car door seemed like an auditory hallucination.But Lin Jiqiao had just got out of the car. He half bent over and supported his knees to look up. Seeing her stop, he waved his hand to signal her to find someone quickly.

It's better for Gu Pan to be okay, Xu Anyi thought, otherwise...

She pinched her palm, what else could it be?

Below the slope, there is a flowery stone road buried in the grass. It has not been trampled for many years, and most of it is given up to the mud of long grass.

Four or five meters away, there is a semicircular small lake with strong traces of artificial excavation.

The small dot is not far below the soil slope. It is a statue of a white horse stepping làng with half of the base in the water and half on the shore. The water volume of the White Horse Lake has obviously decreased compared with when the statue was placed. Now, most of the white horse is stuck in the soft soil. Leaning forward, the làng flower floats on the water, and in a few years, it may be planted in the lake to step làng and become a throbbing làng.

The ditch around the white horse turns around.

There was nothing more to be seen standing on the top, Xu Anyi walked down, the overgrown branches blocked his view, although he still couldn't see anyone, but a fresh footprint came into view on the stone path leading to the statue.

Xu Anyi breathed a sigh of relief, tried his best not to make any noise, walked around the làng flowers under the white horse's hooves, and found Gu Pan on the narrow edge of the base.

She is just outside the long-decayed railing, the first step is the water, and the last step is the shore.

Hearing Xu Anyi's deliberate movement, Gu Pan took a step back as if nothing had happened, and sat on the narrow edge of the base, with his legs hanging above the lake.He turned his head and glanced, not too surprised, and smiled, "What a coincidence, we can still meet here. Lin Lin asked you to come."

Standing next to her, Xu Anyi looked at the churning làng flowers, then at Gu Pan's tired back, sighed, and decided to let her go temporarily, rubbing the mud off his shoes on the rocks.

"She knows it all."

"what do you know?"

Xu Anyi asked back, "What do you think?"

"Oh, the news came out so soon." Gu Pan clicked his tongue, staring at the circles of ripples on the lake, "Then she is still willing to let you come to find me, a criminal?"

Xu Anyi bent down to look at her, "Is it really your responsibility?"

Xinhong Media uses Hengyi as a shell. In name, Gu Pan is the person in charge, but in fact, Hengyi's activities, such as Xiao Zhou changing Shen Hongxuan's dressing, were all instructed by Xinhong, and Gu Pan didn't know about it. .

Gu Pan is not necessarily involved in insider trading, or even leading illegal activities.Because Xinhong executives need a "clean" person, a person who will not confess their crimes.

"The characters and chapters are both my name. Who else is there to arrest people besides me." Gu Pan said in a flat tone, "I just thought of not posting photos. But I guess it's too bad. Ah, if it is published, can I I beg you to let Lin Linhei go in and make a code for me, not just the eyes, but the whole face."

"How many?"

The question is about the amount involved.

"It's quite a lot, it's bigger than the amount." Gu Pan turned his head, his backlit face was covered with a layer of darkness that was a little deeper than the horseshoe projection, "Go back."

Xu Anyi took two steps back, found a place where he could see the top of the small soil slope, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Gu Pan picked out a piece of rock that was shattered by the wind and rain, "It's okay, I just want to be alone, relax, and enjoy the last freedom."

"Are you going to eat tomorrow?"

Gu Pan smiled: "Go, why don't you go. It may be the last time I eat Lin Lin's cooking."

Smiling, with tears welling from the corners of her eyes, she lowered her head, "Don't tell her, just once, I want to eat again."

"Under normal circumstances, I will agree." Xu Anyi finally ceased to be interrogative sentences.

"What about the general situation?"

Lin Jiqiao was struggling to climb up the dirt slope at this time, but the vast scenery further down made her dizzy.She raised her left foot and stepped on it tentatively. The mud was soft and the soil was loose. Changing the other foot, of course, could not change the objective reality of having nowhere to stay.

She stood on the dirt slope at a loss, shouted Panpan, but she couldn't even hear the sound clearly, so she had to stand on tiptoe and wave her hand here.

Xu Anyi: "Turn back."

Gu Pan turned back, turned back suddenly, and the cervical spine made a crisp cracking sound, "Fuck, I was daydreaming, I was hallucinating, I really jumped, and I died?"

Only now did Xu Anyi kick her symbolically, "What are you doing in a daze." Turning around to meet her.

Before Lin Jiqiao could find a place to step down, he hugged the water bottle and squeezed the kraft paper bag into a cowhide band, and squatted on the top of the dirt slope aggrieved, "Panpan, I'm dizzy."

Gu Pan was also a little dizzy.

Seeing the figure on the slope swaying, and the two of them rushing up at the same time, Gu Pan's legs were actually a little numb after sitting for a long time. Seeing that he was only a few steps away from her, his feet slipped and he almost fell backwards.

Lin Jiqiao hurriedly reached out to grab her, carrying Xu Anyi who had just stepped forward on his shoulders, the mineral water bottle rolled down from his arms stuck into the sole of Gu Pan's feet at an unbelievably tricky angle, before Gu Pan could stabilize his figure, the bottle became the one that pushed her down stumbling block.

Xu Anyi grasped the curly hair with quick eyes and hands, but as for Gu Pan, he was beyond his reach.

Gu Pan rolled to the bottom of the soil slope, his hands were covered with mud, he stood up while holding the stone railing and rubbed it twice, muddy water dripped from his trousers.
