It's already the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, but Qiao Lingqi's company is busy. To be precise, Qiao Lingqi is busy and runs to the company every day. The company's employees are already on vacation. Only a few employees who are in charge of cooperating with Miracle Company stay in the company , Qiao Lingqi paid high overtime pay.

Regarding the cooperation of steel supply, a new plan was produced, and Qiao Lingqi personally participated in the production.

While reading the new plan, the phone rang.

"Did you just wake up? The meal is in the kitchen, just heat it up in the microwave."

Qiao Lingxi picked up the phone without even looking at the screen, thinking that Bai Ye got up early today, and usually it was noon before he called.

"Uh...Mr. Qiao, it's me."

It wasn't the familiar voice, Qiao Lingxi froze for a moment, and glanced at the screen.

"Oh, Nurse Xu, did something happen in the hospital?" Qiao Lingxi put down the plan.

Nurse Xu's voice trembled, "Something seems wrong."

"What?" Qiao Lingxi frowned.

"The situation... seems to be getting worse." Nurse Xu pursed her lips.

"It's getting worse? What does that mean?"

"It's just..." Nurse Xu was a little hard to speak.

"I see, I'll go right away!"

Throwing away the plan, turned around and walked out, Qiao Lingqi frowned, how could the situation get worse!

The phone was thrown on the desk again. Qiao Lingxi had just left when the phone rang, and Bai Ye's smiling face flashed on the screen.

Why didn't you answer the phone?

Bai Ye nestled on the bed with Huang Keai in his arms. It was rare that he woke up early and didn't make a call.

Once under the covers again, the phone rang. Bai Ye touched the phone and thought it was Qiao Lingqi, but there was an unfamiliar number on the screen.

Who will call Bai Ye?

"Hi, hello." Bai Ye answered the phone.

"Hello, is this Mr. Bai Ye?"

Standard female voice, same as mobile customer service.

"Well, I am, what's the matter?" His head was buried in the bed, his voice was lazy.

"It's like this. In our latest event, you stood out, defeated all the competitors, and won..."

"You won the lottery, right?" Bai Ye blurted out.

"Um... yes, it seems that you have been following our activities." The female voice was obviously a little embarrassed, and she tried her best to maintain it.

Bai Ye jokingly smiled, "Yes, pay special attention! Did I also win the first prize? There is a huge sum of money, and I need to pay a handling fee in advance?"

"Uh... that Mr. Bai Ye, we... really need you to pay a small handling fee, so that we can distribute the prizes to you."

The corner of Bai Ye's mouth curved into a smile, and he had a flash of inspiration, "This beauty, you can deduct the handling fee from my prize, if there is any left, you can squeeze the prize to 1303, Huarui Community, if you want to find For personal chat, I suggest you call 110."

Bai Ye said goodbye politely, then hung up the phone, pinching the cute yellow cat ears.

"Huang Keai, there are so many scammers these days. Not only can you not eat other people's dried fish, you can't even answer calls from strangers, do you understand?"

Unreliable dad is educating (bullying) his non-speaking child again.Poor Huang Keai let out a meow, slapped Bai Ye's face hard with her paw, and jumped off the bed in disgust.

Bai Ye was teasing the cat leisurely in the room, while Qiao Lingqi had a tense face with a bad complexion.

This is the second time, Qiao Lingxi rushed into the hospital in a panic, aiming at the fourth floor.

The elevator stopped on the third floor, and when Nurse Xu saw Qiao Lingqi, she hurried up to meet her.

"Is the situation very bad?" Qiao Lingxi asked.

"Go down and have a look." Nurse Xu replied.

Nurse Xu frowned, and the two walked straight to the end of the corridor, a semi-circular staircase, metallic in color, leading directly to the next floor.

There is only one floor between the negative fourth floor and the negative third floor, but they are two completely different perceptions.There is only one metal door on the fourth floor, which looks like the door of the refrigerator in the back kitchen of the restaurant, but in fact, this is a refrigerator.

When the door was opened, there was a burst of cold air. There were no wards on the fourth floor. It was a wide hall with cold air coming from all directions. It was not a frightening cold air, but a real cold air. The white light made the hall feel like daytime, but the temperature was as low as minus [-] degrees.

There was a large metal bed in the middle of the hall, and the surrounding cold air enveloped the entire bed. A woman was lying on it with a pale face.

Black and gray cracks appeared on the woman's face, like cracks on a stone, spreading across the entire face, becoming more and more obvious.

"How could this be?" Qiao Lingqi frowned.

"There was only a crack on the neck before, but now the crack seems to be growing and has spread to the face."

Opening up the collar, Nurse Xu pointed to the naked skin on the woman's neck. There was an obvious crack there, which was much wider than when Qiao Lingqi came to the hospital last time.

Qiao Lingxi glanced at the crack and clenched his fists. "When did you start changing?"

"Let's start yesterday. When I came down to look at it last night, it wasn't so obvious. It became like this overnight." Nurse Xu's face was gloomy, and she felt a little guilty. She should have stayed here last night, maybe she could Spotted earlier.

Qiao Lingqi pursed her lips, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, she stroked her cracked face with her fingers, how could this happen.

Qiao Lingxi raised her head, and her eyes fell on the pale yellow spirit stone on the bedside, "This kind of situation started to happen, did it start when the spirit stone necklace was placed here?"

Nurse Xu frowned and thought for a few seconds, then nodded. "Thinking about it carefully, a few days ago, when the spirit stone necklace was put here, black spots began to appear on her neck, but I didn't notice it at the time. Until the cracks appeared, I also thought it had something to do with the spirit stone necklace."

"But do you want to take away the Lingshi necklace?" Nurse Xu looked at Qiao Lingqi.

This is also the question that Qiao Lingxi began to think about. Only the necklace of spirit stones can save her mother, but how to use it to give full play to the function of the necklace of spirit stones?

Before, he thought that Zhou Xiaoxie would know, but later he felt that Lin Caier might know, but Lin Caier was dead, Zhou Xiaoxie had disappeared, and the spirit stone necklace in his hand was really a useless stone.

"Put the spirit stone here first, if there is another situation, please notify me in time."

Qiao Lingqi looked at Nurse Xu with complicated eyes, a little helpless, a little sad.

Nurse Xu sighed, put her hand on Qiao Lingxi's shoulder, and said calmly, "There has been no response for so many years. The cracks this time may not necessarily be all bad, but maybe a good change."

Qiao Lingxi looked down at the motionless person on the bed, "I know."

Nurse Xu nodded in satisfaction, "I'll keep her here, don't worry too much."

Qiao Lingqi pursed her lips, but only one word came out of her mouth. "Um."

Facing other people, Qiao Lingqi still didn't know how to express his feelings. Fortunately, Nurse Xu understood his temperament and smiled faintly.

……

The phone rang more than a dozen times, but none belonged to Qiao Lingxi. Fraudulent calls from different numbers visited Bai Ye's cell phone in turn, and Bai Ye called Qiao Lingqi's number seven times, but there was no response. Bai Ye's people It finally appeared in Qiao Lingqi's company.

There is no one in the office, but the mobile phone is there.

As soon as Bai Ye entered the office, Zhong Yi followed.

"Mr. Bai, the boss is not here." Zhong Yi said.

Bai Ye turned to look at him, nodded, "Yes, I saw that too." There was no one in the office, so Qiao Lingxi was naturally not there.

Bai Ye was able to enter the company so smoothly, so he had naturally greeted him in advance. Zhong Yi rushed over immediately after he entered the office, so someone must have notified him.

"Since Qiao Lingxi isn't here, I'll leave first. You are busy with your work." Bai Ye greeted and walked out.

"Mr. Bai, the boss went to the hospital. He went out at [-]:[-] in the morning and never came back. The boss has no schedule today. You can wait for him in the office or hang out anywhere in the company. If you want to go to the hospital, I will I can send a car to take you there."

Bai Ye didn't ask, but Zhong Yi opened his mouth first, with a sincere attitude, which was completely different from last time, except that his face was still tense, as if he had changed.

Bai Ye turned his head and glanced at him, spreading his hands, maybe it was because of his carefulness.

"Okay, thank you." Bai Ye continued to walk out, showing no intention of staying.

Walking to the door, Zhong Yi behind him suddenly spoke in a low tone.

"I don't know."

Zhong Yi turned his head to look at Bai Ye, frowning. Qiao Lingqi "taught" Zhong Yi today, and Zhong Yi's attitude towards Bai Ye changed drastically. No matter where Qiao Lingxi went, he would not reveal his whereabouts, but Zhong Yi didn't understand that he asked to tell Bai Ye all his whereabouts, but what he didn't understand was even more:

"Why does the boss take a fancy to you as a kid, and you...you are still a man."

Bai Ye was stunned for half a second, and an inexplicable smile curled up on the corner of his mouth.His gaze swept around the room, and finally landed on the oil painting on the wall.

"Do you know the color palette of this painting?" Bai Ye looked at Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi frowned even tighter. He didn't understand why Bai Ye asked this, but he still answered. "have no idea."

Bai Ye nodded and raised his wrist again, "Then do you know the process of my watch? Why is it designed in this way?"

Zhong Yi: "I don't know."

"Then do you know why the data sheet in your hand is presented in the form of a table, which will give people a more intuitive feeling?"

"Do you know why you want to work under Qiao Lingqi?"

"Do you know why you have to go to lunch at noon?"

Zhong Yi: "..."

The more Bai Ye asked, the more outrageous it became, but Zhong Yi's face became darker and darker.

Bai Ye smiled sternly, "Look at you, there are many things you don't understand, but they still exist."

"So this is your explanation?" Zhong Yi said mockingly.

"No," Bai Ye hurriedly shook his hands, his eyes teasing. "I didn't want to explain it to you. Why did I explain it to you? It's up to you whether you understand it or not. Whether you understand it or not, your big boss just likes men."

Bai Ye spread his hands in embarrassment.

To put it simply, if you love, you understand or not, existence is existence.

Zhong Yi's face was as cold as the angry Qiao Lingqi's, and he was Qiao Lingqi's loyal assistant.

"So you're playing me on purpose?!"

"Don't mind, you're flattering me, I'm just talking casually."

"I don't even understand! How could the boss fall in love with you? Even if he likes men, he shouldn't like you!"

Bai Ye rolled his eyes, not to mention that Zhong Yi doesn't understand, even Bai Ye himself doesn't understand, but things in the world are never done according to your understanding, Bai Ye is too lazy to think about this, so I advise Zhong Yi to be young consider.

"It's useless to drill into a dead end, just accept it honestly."

This was Bai Ye's sincere words. He patted Zhong Yi on the shoulder and walked out of the office.

Zhong Yi looked at Bai Ye's back with a slight frown and complicated eyes.
