Highly toxic

After leaving the main gate of the hospital, Tang Qingran gently put Jiang Mu down under Jiang Mu's distressed whispered request.

"Sorry." Tang Qingran said softly, "Just now without your permission..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Mu blushed again and again, no matter how stupid he was, he could tell that Tang Qingran was doing it for his own good just now.

Tang Qingran helped Jiang Mu walk slowly towards the side of the road. He didn't ask Jiang Mu about the "ex-boyfriend" just now, but Jiang Mu didn't do anything and pretended nothing happened.

"Brother Tang, back then...I'm sorry." Jiang Mu finally mustered up his courage, but his eyes still showed a guilty conscience, "I didn't...I didn't mean to block your phone call, I...I..."

"It's okay Xiao Jiang, I think I can guess the reason." Tang Qingran smiled and said, "But it's over, now you can decide your own affairs, I'm happy for you."

This is Tang Qingran's sincere words. Although he did not comment on Geng Yan in front of Jiang Mu, he could clearly feel that Geng Yan's barbarism and disrespect for Jiang Mu in the two exchanges. In his opinion, such a person is It's not good enough for Jiang Mu.

Even if he only regarded Jiang Mu as an ordinary friend in his heart, he would be relieved that Jiang Mu left that kind of person.

The two took a taxi by the side of the road. In the car, Tang Qingran asked Jiang Mu about going to Tanghai City to buy a house and settle down. It has been more than two months now, why he hasn't left yet, is it because there are other plan.

"I...something happened to me." Jiang Mu whispered, "The savings that were originally planned to be used to buy a house were...lost all."

Tang Qingran worried, "Has the matter been resolved?"

"It's been resolved, that's it..." Jiang Mu smiled wryly, "Even if I lost nothing, I suspended my plan to leave here. If I'm poor, I wouldn't dare to go to a strange city..."

"So you still have the idea of ​​leaving here for Tanghai City, right?"

Jiang Mu said with a helpless smile, "It's useless to think about it, now we can only work hard to make money."

"But you estimate that you won't be able to drive for a long time?"

Only then did Jiang Mu tell Tang Qingran that driving was not his main business. He was actually a freelance writer. He regularly contributed articles to two magazines, and his income was also considerable. Before, he was unable to write anything because of some depressing things. Only then did the sports car come out to divert attention.

Tang Qingran was surprised, and said with a smile, "Master Xiaojiang is still a writer?"

"No, no, I definitely can't afford the word 'writer' at my level, just to earn some remuneration." Jiang Mu explained with a wry smile, "Actually, I don't have much knowledge, and what I write is also very petty, so I'm thinking about it." In the future, when I have saved some money, I should go to work to gain some knowledge, and... also try to get in touch with others."

Tang Qingran looked at Jiang Mu's eyes more and more tenderly, and said softly, "Xiaojiang, I'm actually thinking, if you really want to leave here and live in Tanghai City, you can go anytime now, there is no need to wait until you have saved money, Tang The economy of Hai City and Zhong'an City is similar, and living there will not have any impact on your current life."

"I……"

Why didn't Jiang Mu think about it that way? He wished he could immediately cut off everything he had experienced in Zhong'an City, go to a brand new living space, and start everything again, but he was used to being cautious, and he didn't have any small savings in his hand. He really didn't have the courage Live in a strange city.

He was afraid that the mess he had in Zhong'an City would become even worse after going to Tanghai City.

"It's okay." Tang Qingran felt Jiang Mu's embarrassment, and said again, "You can go whenever you want, but if you have any concerns about Tanghai City, you can tell me, my home is in Tanghai City, I know a lot of friends in that city, I think I can help you solve most of the problems you encounter."

Jiang Mu thanked him gratefully.

It is said that after Tang Qingran and Jiang Mu got into the car at the entrance of the hospital and left, Geng Yan's car kept following behind.

According to Geng Yan's order, the driver followed Jiang Mu and Tang Qingran's taxi all the way to the downstairs of Jiang Mu's rented apartment, and the car stopped not far from the entrance of the apartment building.

There were lampposts a few steps away on both sides of the entrance, and the lights clearly reflected the area at the entrance of the corridor. Through the car window, Geng Yan could clearly see Tang Qingran and Jiang Mu get off the car.

Under Tang Qingran's insistence, Jiang Mu lay on Tang Qingran's back squatting in front of him with a red face.

The [-]-story old apartment building had a low eaves at the entrance. Under Tang Qingran's reminder, Jiang Mu shrank his head and obediently lay on Tang Qingran's shoulder.

Just like that, Tang Qingran carried Jiang Mu steadily into the apartment building.

The subordinates who were driving for Geng Yan heard rough panting from the back seat, like a pot of boiling water, and immediately dared not breathe out.

After a while, Geng Yan lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth. He lowered the car window and turned his head slightly to look at the window on the left side of the fourth floor, which was the apartment Jiang Mu rented.

The window light was on.

It looks like the adulterers and the promiscuous couple have entered the apartment.

Geng Yan's arm holding the cigarette rested on the window of the car, staring at the window coldly.

He swore that if that Tang Qingran stayed in Jiang Mu's apartment for more than 15 minutes, he would definitely go up and smash the door.

It was past eleven o'clock at night.

Back at the apartment, Jiang Mu got down to the bedroom with Tang Qingran's support.

Because Jiang Mu told Tang Qingran about his apartment being "haunted", Tang Qingran planned to help Jiang Mu check the whole apartment.

Especially the bedroom window where the ghostly face appears.

Tang Qingran opened the window, his upper body almost leaned out of the window, and then turned his head to look up.

There are two floors above. Tang Qingran asked Jiang Mu who lived there. Jiang Mu said that he only knew Lao Zhang upstairs.

"You are the only apartment with abnormalities?" Tang Qingran asked.

"I haven't heard of any reaction from other residents for the time being." Jiang Mu said with a serious face, "To be honest, I can't tell whether what I saw and heard these days is hallucination or not."

Tang Qingran frowned and thought for a moment, then turned to Jiang Mu who was sitting by the bed and said, "Xiao Jiang, if you don't mind, I can stay here all night and help you catch 'ghosts'."

Jiang Mu looked at Tang Qingran in surprise.

"I will rest on the sofa in the living room outside. If you hear anything at night, you can call me immediately." Tang Qingran said seriously, "If you don't find out the source of this 'ghost' again, I'm really worried what will happen to you this night. scare."

Jiang Mu was a little confused, but he didn't feel any embarrassment. After all, he trusted his friend Tang Qingran very much. It was fine to keep a friend in his apartment for a night, but he always felt that he had caused too much trouble for Tang Qingran, and now he wanted someone to stay with him. He was really sorry for being wronged on the small rental sofa for one night.

The small sofa was small and hard, and he woke up with a sore back after sleeping all night, so he had the nerve to let Tang Qingran, who had helped him so much, lie on it.

His small apartment only has one bedroom, and based on his brief understanding of Tang Qingran, if he let Tang Qingran sleep in the bedroom and lie on the sofa by himself, Tang Qingran would definitely not agree.

To Tang Qingran, Jiang Mu still couldn't be as casual and natural as he was to Zhuang Xi. He respected Tang Qingran more from the bottom of his heart. He respected Tang Qingran from the bottom of his heart, a man with excellent character and temperament. He didn't want to neglect Tang Qingran in the slightest.

"It's still...don't bother Brother Tang." Jiang Mu said with a smile, "I won't be afraid if I sleep with the light on."

Tang Qingran smiled and said, "Aren't you really afraid?"

"Don't be afraid. Anyway, I've been staying for a few days. The ghost just frightened me, and didn't really hurt me. After a few days, my feet will recover. I'll just rent a room."

Tang Qingran laughed, "Okay, then tonight I'll be staying in the hotel opposite this neighborhood. If you have any situation, you can call me anytime."

Jiang Mu was too embarrassed to continue to refuse, nodded, "Well, Brother Tang, go to bed early, it's so late now, don't affect the next day's affairs."

"It's okay, I don't have anything to do next, and I'm not in a hurry to go back to Tanghai City." Tang Qingran said, "It just so happens that I can help you find dumpling briquettes."

Mentioning dumpling briquettes, Jiang Mu's mood suddenly plummeted, and he was even more grateful to Tang Qingran at this moment.

He is so disabled now, no matter how much he wants to be able to do everything, he can't do anything, so Tang Qingran's assistance is like a timely help to him.

Tang Qingran didn't let Jiang Mu get up when he left, but Jiang Mu insisted on limping him to the door.

After saying goodbye to Tang Qingran, Jiang Mu hopped one foot to the sofa and sat down.

The swollen area on the ankle was still in pain. Before Tang Qingran, Jiang Mu was embarrassed to show too much pain. Now that he was alone, he gasped and showed pain on his face, and fanned the wound with his hands , trying to relieve the burning pain with cool wind.

At this moment, the door was knocked.

The rapid and violent knock on the door was particularly impatient.

Jiang Mu's first thought was whether Tang Qingran would come back, but obviously Tang Qingran would not knock on the door so impatiently.

Jiang Mu got up and hopped to the door with one foot. Looking through the cat's eyes, his back felt a chill.

Geng Yan stood outside the door with a gloomy face, his cold eyes were really scary.

Jiang Mu fumbled in his pocket in a hurry, only to realize that he seemed to have left the phone in the bedroom just now.

"You...what are you here for?" Jiang Mu leaned against the door, plucked up his courage and said solemnly, "You promised me, no...you won't come to pester me again."

"Open the door." Geng Yan said in a deep voice, with suppressed anger evident in his voice, "I'll give you five seconds to open the door."

"You...you don't mess around, I... I called the police."

"Five, four, three, two..." Geng Yan was counting by two almost every second.

Jiang Mu limped towards the bedroom in a panic, and before he had time to take a few steps, there was the sound of unlocking the lock behind him.

It's not kicking the door.

Jiang Mu didn't have time to think about where Geng Yan got the key. He just wanted to go to the bedroom and get the phone to call the police.

Geng Yan had already opened the door and walked in. From the first day Jiang Mu moved in, he had already obtained Jiang Mu's apartment keys privately.

Geng Yan was not in a hurry, just followed behind Jiang Mu in such a slow manner, sneered and watched the person in front of him limping and walking desperately to another room, turning his head to look at himself in horror from time to time.

When he got to the bedroom and grabbed the mobile phone that had just been placed on the bed, Jiang Mu turned his head and threatened, "If you dare to mess around, I will call the police."

Geng Yan closed the bedroom door, turned around and stared at Jiang Mu with a squinting smile, "Okay, you can report it, as soon as you dial out, I will post your recording on the Internet right now, no, I'll give it to you Save some face and only send it to your acquaintances, such as your brother Tang."

"Recording?" Jiang Mu was stunned for half a second, and when he realized what the recording Geng Yan was talking about, his face changed drastically, "You...you didn't believe what you said!"

"Yes, I also told you that during the time you were with me, I took a lot of photos, from angles you can't think of." Geng Yan smiled viciously, "Do you want to take a look?"

Geng Yan still regrets a little at the moment, regretting being with Jiang Mu back then, patronizing and pampering him, leaving nothing in his hands to control him.

So at the moment, I can only scare this guy with my mouth.

But he believes that this can also scare Jiang Mu, after all, in Jiang Mu's heart, Geng Yan can do any nasty things.

Jiang Mu froze on the spot, staring at Geng Yan with his eyes wide open as if he was looking at a monster. After a while, his lips trembled, "You...you are just...just..."

"What is it? It's not as good as a beast? I thought you realized it a long time ago."

Geng Yan had already walked up to Jiang Mu. He grabbed Jiang Mu's collar and threw him against the wall. He asked ruthlessly, "What's your relationship with that Tang?"

Jiang Mu had difficulty breathing, and tried to break away Geng Yan's hand, "Let go!"

"Do you like the one surnamed Tang?" Geng Yan almost lifted Jiang Mu's feet off the ground, "If you don't talk about it, I'll kill you now."

Jiang Mu was angry and frightened, "I... Brother Tang and I are just friends, we just... only met twice."

"A friend with such friendship is so caring to you?" Geng Yan recalled the scene when Tang Qingran hugged Jiang Mu in the hospital, and his face became more and more horrified. "I'm warning you now, you are not allowed to have any contact with him again."

Jiang Mu almost gritted his teeth, he couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Why? Why should I make you angry about my matter... Ugh!"

Geng Yan kissed Jiang Mu ruthlessly, and the anger turned into anger was mixed with a trace of silent grievance. He hugged Jiang Mu's waist, turned around and pressed him on the bed beside him, vowing in his heart that he would put all the patience he had endured these days. He released all the grievances, and his movements became rough, until he kissed the tears in Jiang Mu's eyes.

Geng Yan's body trembled, and he stopped all movements for an instant. He raised his head and looked at the trembling person under him. At this moment, tears of fear filled his eyes.

Geng Yan turned over and sat on the edge of the bed. He scratched his hair with both hands furiously. After getting up, he kicked out of the bed fiercely. You are forcing me!"
