The morning light is dim.

What awakened Gu Zhan was the beam of light coming in from the gap in the balcony curtains. He rubbed his eyes and looked around, his vision changed from blurred to clear, but there was no sign of Zhou Muzhen's return.

What was the room like last night, it's still the same now, even the slippers at the door didn't seem to move a bit.

Where did Zhou Muzhen go?

Gu Zhan took out his mobile phone and found that the messages and calls he made yesterday seemed to have disappeared without a trace.Since I have already established a connection with him that exceeds the ordinary relationship, Zhou Muzhen is definitely not the kind of person who loses contact without saying anything.

Something must have happened to him.

But right now, there is no way to find Zhou Muzhen directly. Gu Zhan doesn't even know who those friends Zhou Muzhen is talking about, and he doesn't even know where Zhou Muzhen often goes.

If you call the police, you have to wait. Ms. Gu is also very busy now, and she has no time to distract herself.

What should I do... Gu Zhan sat on the sofa dejectedly, and was helpless every time he faced what Zhou Muzhen encountered, which made him lose the self-confidence that was hard to wake up.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhan made two more phone calls to Zhou Muzhen.The result is obvious, the other party did not answer the phone.

At this moment, the sound of the doorbell suddenly came from the door.

Gu Zhan fell off the sofa in a jerk, thinking that Zhou Muzhen might be back.With many questions in his mind to ask, he quickly ran to the entrance and opened the door all at once.

There was no one he wanted to see at the door, only a huge box, which was big enough to fit a stack of 55-inch LCD TVs.Gu Zhan shook it slightly with his hands, the box was quite heavy, he pulled a small crack at the mouth of the box and dragged it into the house.

The box is not sealed very tightly, just a simple layer of easy-to-tear tape.Gu Zhan was not in the mood to unpack some courier, but at this moment he was staying at home and waiting for Zhou Muzhen to come back, so he had nothing to do.

"His-"

The box opened slightly, and Gu Zhan opened it.

The people in the box were still breathing weakly, their white and smooth skin was exposed to the air nakedly, and there were many bruises on it.He curled up in the narrow box, looking towards Gu Zhan with tired eyes.

Gu Zhan's question that was already in his throat was completely swallowed by him now.He stretched out his hand, wanting to hug Zhou Muzhen out.But the moment his fingertips first touched Zhou Muzhen, he felt goose bumps on the skin under his fingertips layer by layer.He saw a look of fear flashing in Zhou Muzhen's tired eyes.

Anyway, let's take him out first.

Gu Zhan put his hands through Zhou Muzhen's armpits and the grooves behind his knees, and hugged him straight up.Zhou Muzhen was obviously afraid of skin-to-skin contact, and Gu Zhan felt his body trembling uncontrollably.

In the room, Gu Zhan put Zhou Muzhen on the bed, and untied the rope that had been tightly binding his hands.The clear strangle marks on his wrist made Gu Zhan feel distressed, he just wanted to rub Zhou Muzhen, but Zhou Muzhen avoided him.The other party didn't say a word, and walked to the bathroom in the room with an extremely awkward posture.

Gu Zhan obviously guessed what happened to Zhou Muzhen.
