After Jiang Keqing was sent to the hospital, she suffered from miscarriage and hemorrhage, and was on the verge of life and death several times.

Since the parents couldn't come in time, they asked the school leaders to help them sign.

Meng Yun took the computer with him and stayed by the hospital bed all the time.

The Gu family blocked the news about this matter, and did not disclose any rumors.

Meng Yun transferred all the collected information about Hongsheng Technology to Mu Qing, who will lead the acquisition of Hongsheng Technology.

In mid-January, the police salvaged an unnamed body in the bay of the East District, which ignited the media.

The salvage location happened to be the area where the Gu family's private beach was located. As the tabloid reporters dug deeper, they gradually uncovered the news that the young master of the Gu family had illegally kidnapped other people.

As if being swept by a typhoon, various news media swarmed in-depth reports to track this matter.

Gu Chengxi was a school bully from middle school to university, bullying his classmates, forming cliques, and doing a lot of evil. Many classmates and teachers who were bullied before exposed his evil deeds anonymously in the media.

As the incident unfolded, Gu Chengxi's case of illegally kidnapping, beating, and insulting others gradually attracted the attention of the public.

Shi Yan didn't know where the nameless corpse came from, and why it was discovered just after the accident in Gu Chengxi, and Meng Yun didn't tell him anything about it.

Jiang Keqing's family members never showed up, so Shi Yan knew that the two of them really left their hometown with nothing and came to this city to study, work and depend on each other.

Jiang Keqing was mentally unstable after waking up, and the doctor in charge of psychological counseling couldn't get close. Meng Yun decided not to receive treatment in the hospital, but took her home, and began to learn psychology by himself, trying to communicate with Jiang Keqing who was suffering from depression.

Shi Yan often goes to see them, and even takes time out of her busy schedule to read psychology books, so as not to irritate Jiang Keqing when she gets along with him.

The once cheerful and smiling boy had completely changed. He curled up in the corner of the room all day long, without saying a word, and a slightly louder noise would scare him.

Shi Yan asked Meng Yun not to cook at home for the time being, and he would send it to them after he cooked it every day. Meng Yun spread a carpet on the floor, approached Jiang Keqing cautiously, and always patiently coaxed him to eat, when he couldn't sleep Hold him and hum a song to him.

After the school holidays, the year is getting closer and closer, Shi Yan took the time to go home and clean up the house, grandma is coming back, Wan Yu will live with them, so I have to clean up another room and come out.

A small yard and a small two-story building. The owner was unwilling to rent it to outsiders. Before going overseas, he signed a ten-year lease with Shi Yan and the others. At that time, Shi Yan and the others almost emptied the money left from the sale of the house.

Mu Qing disagreed with Shi Yan's move back, and said that Grandma Shi would live with them, but Shi Yan said nothing.

The two of them are just dating and living together. There is no reason to bring their own family members to live together. Besides, the current salary is still high. Shi Yan thinks that she is capable of supporting her grandma, and Lu Wanyu doesn't need him to worry about it. , Lu Jingyang has been giving him living expenses all the time.

The two fought a cold war for the first time.

Speaking of Lu Jingyang, I haven't contacted him for a long time, but recently I called him one after another.

Shi Yan occasionally picked up and exchanged greetings with him.

After nearly two months of careful recuperation, Jiang Keqing's condition has been getting better and better recently, and he has already taken the initiative to talk to him when Shi Yan visited.

Grandma will be discharged from the hospital in two days, and the company will also be on holiday. Shi Yan invited Meng Yun and the others to celebrate the New Year together.

Before leaving get off work in the afternoon, I received a WeChat message from Mu Qing, saying that I want to have dinner together.

Because of the cold war and the busy work at the end of the year, Mu Qing traveled overseas from time to time, and the family hadn't fired for a long time, and Shi Yan felt that it was time to ease the relationship between the two.

After sorting out today's affairs, I found that I don't need to work overtime at night, so I replied that I can.

Mu Qing sent the address of the restaurant.

It's not too far from where I live, so I packed up my desk early and went home to wash and change clothes.

Mu Qing didn't come back until after the meeting, so Shi Yan planned to take two subway stops to go there first.

After leaving the community, she received a call from Lu Jingyang. Shi Yan originally planned not to answer it, but saw Lu Jingyang's advance message on WeChat, saying that she wanted to have dinner with him and Lu Wanyu.

Did Lu Wanyu contact Lu Jingyang?

Shi Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she picked up the phone. In the past few months, Lu Wanyu had never mentioned Lu Jingyang and Zhang Qiao in front of him. Could it be that the year is approaching and he misses his parents?

"Hello, Mr. Lu."

"Ah, Shi Yan!" Lu Jingyang took a big breath after answering the phone, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "I thought you wouldn't answer my call. I'm at the gate of your community now. Are you off work? Let's go together Go have a meal."

"Sorry, Mr. Lu, I have an appointment." Lu Jingyang is at the gate of the community?Shi Yan looked around with some annoyance, it was completely dark in Binhai at this time, and he couldn't see passers-by and vehicles very clearly.

Suddenly a Mercedes Benz in front honked its horn, Shi Yan walked over and hung up the phone, "Mr. Lu, don't worry, I have an appointment with someone first, it's really inconvenient—"

Lu Jingyang interrupted him, opened the car door, and said with a smile: "Wan Yu is here too, get in the car."

Shi Yan bent down to look inside the car, and found that Lu Wanyu was sitting on the back seat, something seemed wrong, so she poked her head in, and was suddenly pushed hard on her back, fell into the car, and her legs were also quickly lifted up. After entering the car door, Lu Jingyang squeezed into the rear seat and closed the car door.

"Mr. Lu, what do you want to do?" Shi Yan collapsed on the seat in embarrassment, and found that Lu Wanyu was in a coma, and immediately turned to question Lu Jingyang, but saw a pair of crazy twisted eyes, followed by a strong smell of sex Rush into the mouth and nose, and soon lost consciousness.

When Lu Jingyang was in a daze, he was handcuffed, and he took off his coat to cover him. Lu Wanyu next to him was also in the same situation, except that one of his hands was tied to the telescopic rod under the seat. .

Getting out of the car again, Lu Jingyang pulled the messy clothes on his body, brushed the fallen hair back on his head, looked up and saw Mu Qing's car was driving into the gate, grinned slightly, opened the door and sat in the car. Get to the driver's seat, turn the car around and leave.

Shi Yan didn't know how long she had been in a coma. When she opened her eyes, she saw that her hands and feet were handcuffed together, and her mouth was sealed with tape. Lu Wanyu next to her had also woken up and looked sideways out of the window.

Lu Jingyang saw him wake up from the rearview mirror, and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, I just want to take you back to your hometown for the New Year."

When Shi Yan moved her body, she found that her mobile phone and wallet were not on her, and it seemed that she had been searched.

What time is it now?

It was pitch black outside the car window and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Where is Lu Jingyang's hometown?

Where is he taking them?

What happened to Lu Wanyu?

He doesn't appear to be tied down.

Shi Yan's eyes fell on Lu Wanyu, and he couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, but intuitively, he felt that something was wrong with him.

He moved his body and touched Lu Wanyu with his head, "Umm--"

Lu Wanyu came back to his senses and asked Lu Jingyang who was driving in front, "Dad, can I help my brother sit up? He doesn't look very comfortable."

Shi Yan's eyes widened in surprise, why is Lu Wanyu so calm, what is he talking about?

Are they in partnership?

why?

"Okay, be careful, don't be seen."

Lu Wanyu helped Shi Yan up and leaned against her body, hugging Shi Yan with trembling cold hands, "Brother, don't be afraid, Dad won't hurt you."

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, shall we go back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year together?"

What is Lu Wanyu talking about? Is he crazy?

What the hell happened?Why did Lu Jingyang kidnap him?Was Lu Wanyu forced?

When Shi Yan leaned against Lu Wanyu, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

At present, it seems that they are still on the highway, but the destination is not clear, and the place names on the road signs that occasionally flash past are also very strange.

"Brother, sleep for a while, you'll be there soon. I'll cook for you when I get home." Lu Wanyu hugged Shi Yan wearily, and kissed his cheek, "I like my brother the most, he is the most beautiful girl in the world." good person."

With her mouth sealed, Shi Yan couldn't ask, so she could only give up and close her eyes.

I don't know if Mu Qing found out that he was missing.

I don't know how long it took, my body suddenly swayed in a daze, and I almost hit the seat in front of me, and was hugged by Lu Wanyu.

Then the car door opened, and Lu Jingyang stood beside Lu Wanyu, "Come down, I'll carry him out."

Lu Wanyu lowered her head and got out of the car. She was so dizzy that she couldn't stand upright immediately. She knelt on the ground for a while before getting up staggeringly.

Lu Jingyang bent down and picked up Shi Yanqian and kissed his mouth that was sealed with tape, "Finally you won't push me away, Shi Yan."

Shi Yan hated him to death, and wanted to kick him, but his hands and feet were trapped, making it difficult to move.

Immediately after being carried out of the car, they looked around. It was a mountainous area, the temperature was very low, and they were now halfway up a mountain, with a dilapidated stone bungalow in front of them.

"This is Grandma Wanyu's house. The old man has passed away for several years, and no one has cleaned it up. It may be dirty. Bear with me."

While talking, Lu Wanyu found the key in the crack of the door to open the door.

A stale smell wafted through the cold wind, Lu Wanyu touched the light switch and turned on the light.

The lamp was still the kind of light bulb with low wattage more than ten years ago. Under the dim light, Lu Wanyu's face was as pale as a ghost, and he looked at them unsteadily, "Dad, you come in first, I'll go and see if the room can still be used. "

There were mice on the ground scurrying away from the house after hearing human voices, and there was a strong musty smell in the air.

Lu Jingyang walked into the main room with Shi Yan in his arms, stopped beside a recliner covered with a white cloth, knelt down on one knee, lifted the white cloth covered with dust and mold, and said, "Sit here for a while, I will go to the back of the house Get a bucket of clean water and wipe it off."

"Are you hungry? It's cold, and the clothes are covered. I have daily necessities in the back compartment. I'll go get them after cleaning the house."

Putting Shi Yan on the recliner, Lu Jingyang couldn't help but hugged him tightly, "Shi Yan, you are mine, and we will never be separated from now on."

Creepy tone.

"Father." Lu Wanyu came out of the room, looking gloomy at the two hugging each other.

When Lu Jingyang let go, Yan got up, "Wan Yu, you sweep the floor, can the bed and quilt in the room still be used?"

Lu Wanyu shook her head, because the room was dark and damp, it has become a rat's nest.

"Then sweep the floor. Tonight we will lay the floor in the main room for the night, and go to the market early tomorrow to buy." After stroking the top of Shiyan's head twice, Lu Jingyang went to the kitchen to fetch two buckets and went out.

Lu Wanyu walked up to Shi Yan, squatted down, and looked at his handcuffed hands, "Brother, don't struggle anymore, your hands will hurt. Don't make a sound, I'll help you tear off the tape, okay?" ?”

Shi Yan nodded.

Lu Wanyu's fingers were cold, and the exhaled breath turned into white mist in the air. The glue was very sticky. Lu Wanyu carefully peeled it off bit by bit, and kept asking, "Does it hurt? Brother, does it hurt?" What's more, I usually burst into tears.

Shi Yan looked at him silently.

Under those gazes, Lu Wanyu was trembling with fear, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Brother, don't blame me."

"What happened? Wan Yu, why did you kidnap me?" Shi Yan asked in a hoarse voice. He was exhausted from running around and worrying all night.

Lu Wanyu lowered her head, pale and shook her head, "Brother, you rest, I will sweep the floor."

"Wan Yu!" Shi Yan said with a heavy tone, "You are committing a crime, do you know? What happened, please tell brother well, and brother will help you, Wan Yu."

"It's useless, brother, it's useless." Lu Wanyu stood up and turned her back to Shiyan, wiping away tears, "Dad, he, he, mother—"

"Wan Yu!" Lu Jingyang appeared at the door with two buckets of water, his expression frightened, "Why haven't you swept the floor yet?"

Lu Wanyu trembled all over, bowed her head and went out to find a broom.

Lu Jingyang put the water into the kitchen, brought out a basin of water and put it on the floor, and picked up Shi Yan again, "Wan Yu, come in and wipe the chair."

Lu Wanyu came in with a broom, wrung out the towel and wiped the recliner carefully, then watched Lu Jingyang put Shiyan back.

"There are daily necessities in the car. I'll go down and get them. You should sweep the floor quickly, and then wipe the floor with water to wipe off the dirt." Lu Jingyang said eagerly, then turned and walked out the door.

Lu Wanyu didn't say anything else, she quickly buried her head in sweeping the floor, and wiped the floor with a wet towel after sweeping.

Although it is a concrete floor, it has accumulated dust for many years, and it can't be wiped clean for a while. Lu Wanyu poured several basins of water back and forth, sweating profusely, and took off his coat before wiping the floor out. Come on.

After Lu Jingyang came back, he went back to his room and found two barely usable bamboo mats, scrubbed them clean, left them at the door to dry, and then went to the kitchen to boil water.

After wiping the floor, Lu Wanyu took out the things that Lu Jingyang had brought into the house. There were two thick blankets, a small heater, several sets of clothes and a lot of food.

From the looks of it, he seemed to have planned the kidnapping long ago, and he carefully prepared household items, including razors, toothpaste and toothbrushes.

It was very cold in the room, so Lu Wanyu plugged in the heater and turned it on to blow 360 degrees into the room.

Shi Yan was so tired and unable to move, she lay on the recliner and fell asleep at some point.

After Lu Jingyang boiled the water, the father and son made two cups of instant noodles and ate them. They wanted to wake up Shiyan, but Lu Jingyang said to let him sleep and cook porridge for him tomorrow morning.

When I threw the bucket of instant noodles outside the door after eating, I found that the sky did not know when it was snowing, and the goose feathers flew through the dim light and landed on the slowly drying ground.

Lu Jingyang took the bamboo mat back and spread it on the ground, waiting for the temperature in the room to rise.

Lu Wanyu closed the door, found a small stool to sit beside Shi Yan, looked at his broken wrist with distress, "Dad, what shall we do next?"

"That's it. Try not to go out during the day, and you can turn on the lights after midnight. I will find a way for the things used in life. You stay with him."

Lu Jingyang pinched the center of his eyebrows and said that he had a severe headache, and he hadn't had a good sleep for a long time.

This place was originally a remote mountainous area, sparsely populated, and the households are far apart. In addition, young people go out to work, and there are only elderly people at home. The traffic is blocked and the information lags behind. It should be possible to live a peaceful life for a long time.

As for the future—

Where is the future for the present self!

Lu Jingyang looked at Shi Yan desperately. Even so, he still wanted to get along with him for a while longer. It was all his fault that he was too impatient and scared him. He should take his time. He has such a soft heart, which is the best way to coax him.

The temperature in the house rises, the bamboo mats are dried, and two blankets, one under the bunk and the other covered the body.

Lu Wanyu helped Shiyan take off his shoes, and Lu Jingyang carried him to the floor and put him on the floor, uncuffed him and put his handcuffs together and lay down.

Lu Wanyu slept behind Shi Yan, relying on him to hug his waist, "Brother—"

Lu Jingyang hugged Shi Yan sideways and kissed the corner of his mouth, "Good night, Shi Yan."

The three of us huddled together in the same quilt, the snow was falling heavily outside the house, the bamboo grove in front of the house was rustling, and the sound of dripping rain and dew resounded throughout the cold night.

The next day, Yan woke up from the stinging pain in her hands. She opened her eyes, but her hands and feet were still handcuffed together. The door of the main room was open, and the snow piled outside the door.

It seems that this place is to the north, so it is unclear exactly where it is, and there are no other identifiable signs in the house.

There were rustling footsteps outside the house, Lu Wanyu walked in with a bucket of ice, saw him sitting, and exhaled, "Brother, you are awake. Dad should be back soon, and you can eat later, you Have some biscuits first."

After closing the door, Lu Wanyu put on a down jacket for Shiyan, "The temperature is low now, be careful not to catch a cold. Brother, I'll make you a cup of milk tea."

Putting the biscuits in front of Shiyan, Lu Wanyu got up and went to the kitchen.

Shi Yan didn't have much appetite, but thinking of the current situation, it would be troublesome if she got sick. Just when Lu Wanyu came back from making milk tea, Shi Yan ate some biscuits with the milk tea.

"Wanyu, what time is it now, do you know the time?" I don't know if Lu Wanyu has a mobile phone, so let's test it first.

Lu Wanyu had no doubt about him, she shook her head, "Dad took it away."

It seems that Lu Jingyang is very careful.

Shi Yan thought silently.

After Lu Wanyu finished speaking, she curled up and hugged her knees and sat in front of Shi Yan without saying a word.

Shiyan's hand was in pain, she was mentally weak and had no desire to speak.

Not long after, Lu Jingyang came back with two big bags.

Lu Wanyu followed him to the kitchen to help.

Shi Yan took a special look at the logo on the bag, and found that there was only the name of the supermarket, but no address.

"Brother, Dad bought meat buns and soy milk. The meat buns in this store are delicious. I liked them the most when I was young. Come, let me try it." Lu Wanyu ran out, holding two big meat buns bag, tear off a piece and feed it to Shiyan.

Shi Yanjing looked at him and refused to open his mouth. Lu Wanyu lowered his eyes guiltyly and begged, "Brother, please."

Lu Jingyang came out, "Shi Yan, eat something, don't make things difficult for your body."

Shi Yan looked up at him, "When is Mr. Lu going to lock me up like this?"

Lu Jingyang was much thinner than a few months ago, his cheeks were sunken and his cheekbones were protruding, which made him look a bit more relaxed and embarrassed.

Touching his cheek with the back of his hand, just came back from outside, his hand was still cold, Shi Yan turned his head to avoid it.

Lu Jingyang looked at him deeply, and sat down to eat, not intending to answer his question.

Lu Wanyu ate without taste, tears pattered down on the blanket.

Seeing him like this, Shi Yan felt uncomfortable. The child she treated so wholeheartedly, but biting herself back, would make anyone feel uncomfortable, even if he didn't do it voluntarily.

However, after all, she couldn't bear to let him continue to be sad, Shi Yan moved her body, and wrapped the silently crying child in her arms, "Okay, don't cry, Wan Yu."

"I'm sorry, brother." Lu Wanyu buried her head in his arms, "Brother, just stay with us, it won't be long."

He and his father have no future.

Shi Yan sighed deeply.

After eating in twos and twos, Lu Jingyang went back to the kitchen and brought out a bowl of clear porridge and handed it to Shi Yan, "It's ready to eat." After speaking, he put the bowl on the small stool, and released the handcuffs on Shi Yan's hands .

Shi Yan noticed that he put the key in the inner pocket of his clothes.

Lu Jingyang took out gauze and iodine from his pocket, and helped Shiyan treat the broken skin. After washing the wound, he applied painkilling ointment and wrapped it with thick gauze, so that he would not be injured again when he was handcuffed again. The same is true for the injury on the foot.

I don't know if Lu Wanyu was afraid that Shi Yan would run away violently or if he was in pain, so she knelt on the ground and hugged his head tightly.

Shi Yan's heart was cold.
