am i dead

When Ji Yao came out of the villa, the rain had stopped.

There is a layer of water vapor in the air, and it is wet everywhere.

Ji Yao stood at the door of the villa for a long time before taking out his mobile phone and dialing Tao He's number.

But several calls didn't work.

Ji Yao put the phone back in his pocket, turned around and walked towards the car.

After walking a few steps, I realized that my legs and feet were weak.

The jacket was a little crumpled, but there was still the heat of that person on it. He rushed forward and grabbed Ji Yao by the collar, his face was full of excitement, but he didn't say a word.

Ji Yao lowered his head slightly, took out the car key to unlock it, and opened the door to get in the car.

Tao He's cell phone has been in a state of no one answering.

While dialing patiently, Ji Yao forced himself to think about the problem calmly.

For example, why did Tao He do this.

For example, how should Duan Xiuping be handled, after all, it has constituted illegal detention and harm.

A car came up from the opposite side, the bright white headlights flashed over Ji Yao's face, he was cold and indifferent, but his eyes were absent-minded.

Ji Yao likes to make this kind of mistake.

It was the same when I quarreled with Duan Xiuping and ran away. I accidentally got into a car accident.

The sharp sound of the tires rubbing against the ground pulled the ear drums, Ji Yao was slightly startled, recovered his senses, and hurriedly stepped on the brakes to stop the car.

The headlights of the car on the opposite side were still on, so I couldn't see the model clearly, nor could I see the people coming down from above.

"Fuck! Are you fucking blind? Didn't you see that you won't be allowed to turn left at this intersection!"

Ji Yao drove a unit's car, which was very ordinary and had no police station logo.

Turning his face slightly, Ji Yao tried to see the man's face clearly, but the man immediately changed his emphasis, "Ji Yao? Fuck! What a coincidence...Ji Yao, is it you?"

Ji Yao frowned slightly, "It's you."

Eggy hurried forward, "Ji Yao, let's park the car on the side of the road first, I have something to tell you."

Ji Yao originally wanted to go back to the dormitory to find Tao He, but he thought it would be a short while, so he pulled the car by the side of the road.

After everything was done, Eggy left the car on the side of the road and got into Ji Yao's car, "Ji Yao, can you contact Tao He for me?"

"I'm looking for him too."

Eggy sighed, "Hey, yes, do you know about Dow? It's about the sharp drop in the stock price?"

Ji Yao was a little surprised, "I don't know about this."

After thinking about it again, "What happened to him?"

Eggy patted Ji Yao's thigh straight, "Ji Yao, you can take care of yourself, this guy is going crazy now, you still don't know anything? I felt that something was wrong with him for several months, and suddenly I changed him. Just like a man, he is taciturn all day long, busy with his own affairs, and does not contact our group of friends at all. When asked what he does, he just says that he goes to work. I think he may have a strong career, which is different from me and Fatty. , As a result, he became the boss of the Dow Corporation and began to cause harm... Fuck, even a business idiot like me knows that he can't do that... Hey, you think he did it on purpose? Tears, do you think this is a fucking human thing..."

Eggy talked incoherently for a long time. Seeing Ji Yao's expressionless face, she felt a little annoyed, "Fuck, Ji Yao, did you listen to me? Give me some reaction..."

Ji Yao actually doesn't quite understand what Dandan wants to say, but he still understands the main meaning.

"You mean something is wrong with Tao He?"

Eggy nodded again and again, "Yeah, I was skeptical at first, but after Tao's accident, I kept trying to find a chance to ask him, but he didn't care about me at all..."

After finishing speaking, he took Ji Yao's hand, "Ji Yao, I beg you to take care of him, what's the matter, is he crazy..."

Ji Yao withdrew his hand, "Understood, I'll go find him right away."

After the two separated, Ji Yao went back to the dormitory and found no one, he was hesitant to go to his unit, but a call came, and it was a landline.

Ji Yao picked up the phone, "Who is it?"

"Ji Yao, it's me."

Ji Yao breathed a sigh of relief, "Where is it?"

"At the emergency department of the central hospital...Ji Yao, I'm sorry, I have something to do...I left in a hurry so I didn't bring my phone..."

Ji Yao took the key and went downstairs, "I'll go find you."

"In such a hurry?" Tao He paused, "Okay, come here, you can ask the nurse to call me when you arrive, my grandpa is here..."

Ji Yao responded, hung up the phone, went downstairs and drove towards the hospital.

***

Originally, it was quite normal at first, but Tao Shu's complexion turned pale and he kept breaking out in cold sweat after talking about it, so Tao He could only send him to the hospital for examination.

While taking the electrocardiogram, Tao Hecai suddenly remembered that he should talk to Ji Yao, but found that he left without a phone.

Talked to Ji Yao on the hospital phone, and after hanging up the phone, Tao He faintly felt that something was wrong with Ji Yao.

Just thinking about it, a nurse called Tao He over.

Without thinking too much, Tao He continued to work on Tao Shu.

Emergency room ward.

Tao Shu was lying on top with a patch on his body. Seeing Tao He coming in, he hurriedly said, "Tao He, go to the company tomorrow and give me a job as vice president."

Tao He glanced at him, "What?"

Tao Shu's face calmed down a bit, showing the usual sallowness, "...you are too young... At this juncture, it is better for me, an old man, to come forward. If the company's stock falls like this, if it takes more than a week, the stockholders will lose confidence Now, we must take advantage of this time to create some news that can stabilize Dow..."

Tao He took a deep breath, "It's enough for the board of directors to submit the plan, and there is no need to greet me."

Tao He tilted his head slightly, "Also... I want to talk about that project."

"Don't talk about it, it's better to develop the industry if you have the energy," Tao He looked at him. "This kind of project is not suitable for independent operation at the beginning. It's a hot potato. It's easy to transfer out. What do you want to do when you come back?"

Tao Shu grabbed his hand, a little excited, "You still hate me? Do you really want to bring down the company? I'll go and apologize to him!"

The doctor on night shift hurried up to hold him down, "Don't get too excited."

Tao He held his hand, "No, don't talk about this."

When the door panel moved, a little nurse poked her head, "Who is Tao He?"

Tao He let go of Tao Shu's hand, "What's wrong?"

The little nurse looked at him, "Someone is looking for you outside."

Tao Shu reached for Tao He's arm, "Where are you going?"

Tao He glanced at him, "I'll be back when I smoke a cigarette,"

Then he paused again, "I asked Tao Zi to come and accompany you."

After leaving the emergency room, Tao He borrowed a mobile phone to call Tao Zi.

Tao Zi was already asleep at this time, and the voice of answering the phone was still drowsy, but I heard that Tao Shu immediately said that he would be there in 10 minutes at the hospital.

Just after hanging up the phone, Tao He saw Ji Yao at the end of the corridor.

The two looked at each other, but neither spoke.

When Tao He looked at Ji Yao's eyes, he had a bad premonition for a moment.

So much so that he didn't dare to say a word when he walked up to Ji Yao.

Ji Yao stared at him coldly, "Come with me."

Tao He responded, returned the phone, and followed Ji Yao out.

The street was brightened by the heavy rain, and the two walked around to the open-air parking lot in front of the hospital, speechless all the way.

There is an emotion in the air, like a living thing, which tightens the throat of a person, making him breathless.

Ji Yao's car was parked next to Tao He's car. The parking lot was always empty at night, and there were hardly any cars. The two cars were next to each other, making it easy to identify.

Ji Yao opened the door and got into the car, "Come in."

Tao He sat down obediently.

"what's up?"

Ji Yao looked down for a while, then threw the villa key to Tao He, "I went to the house we used to live in today."

Tao He looked down at the key and was silent for a while.

Then he smiled helplessly, "Ji Yao, did you see that?"

"Do you know that this is illegal detention?"

"I know," Tao He raised his head and looked at Ji Yao, "Since we've covered this point, I have nothing to hide from you."

"..."

"About my grandfather instructing Duan Fang to brainwash you, you can see now that I know all about it. I didn't tell you about it because I really didn't have the courage and the face to tell you about it in front of you... What can I do if I mention it? I can't do anything except make you feel uncomfortable again and see you pretending to be indifferent in front of me..."

"I don't want to be foolish at all," Tao He said in embarrassment, clenched his hands, his knuckles turned white, "Those things make me sick... I admit that I did something wrong and went too far, but I just want to Forget it then, I don’t want to make these people feel better.”

Having said that, Tao He was silent for a while, and then continued for a long time, "As for the future... I saved a card for you... it's in the top drawer of your dormitory desk..."

"..."

"To be honest, Ji Yao... You have been with me for so long, I can't give you anything... I really think you shouldn't have promised me in the first place, and you have encountered so many bad things when you are with me... Except There is nothing else to suffer..."

"..."

"I'll take care of what I committed myself. It has nothing to do with you. If I really go in later, don't worry about me..."

When Ji Yao went up, he was slapped in the face, "It's nothing to do with me!"

After finishing speaking, he continued to smoke, "I have nothing to do with calling you!"

Ji Yaoyun beat him up with all his might, without any sign of pity, "Why doesn't it have anything to do with me!"

Half of Tao He's face was swollen from the beating, and he gritted his teeth and stared at him, "Ji Yao...I really feel that I'm not good at anything...I don't deserve you at all...but I want to be with you so much... ..."

Ji Yao's tears were about to fall, and he slapped him again, "Then you break the law! You want to be with me! You are forcing me to break the law with you! Okay, you go in and I I just killed the surnamed Duan and went in with you, this time it’s alright, don’t let anyone fucking think about it!”

Tao He was still dejected just now, but after hearing Ji Yao's words, his heart was filled with honey, "Really..."

"Of course it's fake!"

Ji Yao stopped his hands, as if muttering to himself, "...I will save you...I will save you..."

"Now there is still a little room for maneuver..."

"You should have told me...how dare you hide such a big thing from me..."

Tao He's face was burning with pain, "I just said, if I tell you, you will only come to persuade me to forget it."

Ji Yao's face turned pale, "That's better than being sentenced."

Then I suddenly remembered and started the car, "Let's go! I'll take you to find him!"

Tao He didn't have time to refuse, so he drove Ji Yao out of the hospital directly.

Fortunately, I saw Tao Zi's car just after leaving the gate, and I felt a little relieved.

The road at night is quiet and there are almost no cars.

Approaching the outskirts of the city, the bustling lights of the city gradually peeled off in sight, Ji Yao's fingers were cold, and he was very scared.

On the contrary, the culprit on one side was very calm. Tao He looked indifferent, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lowered the car window and kept smoking.

Occasionally, he turned his head and smiled at Ji Yao, "Ji Yao, I really feel better after I told you...there is no such pressure"

"Leave far away."

"Ji Yao, I thought you would report the case..."

Ji Yao frowned slightly, "Don't mention this, I feel bad."

"Actually, I don't want to go to prison either. Men's prisons are terrible..."

Ji Yao slowed down the car and entered the community, "Don't worry, you only entered because you eunuched someone, no one dares to blast you."

The two got out of the car, Tao He opened the door and entered the house, but stood at the door in a daze.

Ji Yao followed behind, raising his hand to turn on the light, "What are you looking at?"

Tao He looked strange, staring at the wide open door of the bathroom, "Why is this door open?"

Ji Yao hurried forward a few steps and stopped at the door.

Empty, nothing.

Tao He walked in and glanced around, "The door is locked, there is no way for him to escape."

Ji Yao stared at him, "...I didn't lock it when I left."

Tao He stared at the screws on the ground and bent down.

The iron chain that locked Duan Fang was very strong, one end was around his neck, and the other end was tied to the special handrail next to the toilet.Moreover, Tao He would check the chain every time he came, just in case, only now did he realize that he never seemed to notice that the screws on the base of the armrest on the wall had been worn shiny.

It seems that this person deliberately wants to run away.

And very smart, he directly removed the screws on the handrail, and together with the handrail, he ran out directly while the bathroom door was not locked.

But what kind of screws does this guy use?There is obviously nothing in the house.

"I don't know if he will go directly to the police,"

Ji Yao's face turned pale, "Don't meddle in this matter... Leave him to me."
