lost year

The light of the knife flashed in the dark basement, and the sharp blade slashed down without hesitation or pity at all!

In an instant, Wen Xuan's mind went blank.

It was too late to be surprised, only the sudden dilated pupils reflected the cruel sword intent and the face that was suddenly distorted after she accidentally tore off the hood, and the skin on the neck was shuddered by the chill of the sword wind !

At this moment, a strong force struck her, and she was pushed away by this force, and she fell onto the dusty floor.

With a "click", something was crushed, made a crisp cracking sound, and then fell to the ground.

It was only after looking back in horror that it was Ning Xi who knocked her away and saved her life.

But Ning Xi couldn't hold back, although the cut knife was blocked by the white jade bracelet on his wrist, but the remaining strength was still there, and the blade still slashed across his arm, cutting a deep and slender cut.

The wound turned white for a while, and then blood beads quickly appeared, and then the blood began to drip, dripping down the arm.

The red of blood, against the fair skin, is particularly frightening.

As if awakened from a dream, Wen Xuan let out a short and convulsive cry,

She just turned around before the gate of hell, and was almost wiped on the neck by someone.

She almost died!

"Damn it!" Seeing that the knife-wielding man in the hood missed the cut, he raised the knife again, and Wang Jun raised his hand to stop it.

Under the dim light, the muscles on Wang Jun's face twitched, and his breath was extremely cold. The hood that Wen Xuan had torn off was half hung on his shoulders. Wen Xuan, who knew it later, was trembling all over, and the clothes on her body were already soaked in cold sweat. wet.

Ning Xi reluctantly looked up.

The man in front of him, with crazy eyes and a ferocious face, was no longer the Wang Jun he knew.

What kind of terrible character can make such a crazy behavior?

The ancients said: "A gentleman chooses carefully, and don't fight with poisonous beasts."

This sentence warns everyone that you must be cautious when making friends with others, and it is best not to have deep friendships if you feel wrong.

Ning Xi thinks so deeply, so she has always been polite and ordinary when getting along with Wang Jun. She never thought that such a thing as being kidnapped by Wang Jun would happen.

But now, not only he was kidnapped, but Wen Xuan was also hijacked into the van because of what he witnessed.

The other party kidnapped him very neatly and well at timing. When he came out of the Chenyi shop and passed the alley into the campus at the west gate, he moved his hand, and the half-new van parked beside the road did a good job of covering it up. , In addition, the fog is thick and thick again today, and the vision is so poor that even if there are people in the alley, they can only faintly hear a few exclamations and see a few blurred figures.

It wasn't that there was no resistance, the mobile phone was smashed out, but the three of the opponents were hit by a hard object on the back of the head and cut off his cry. In the severe pain and dizziness in his throat, he calmed down and stopped struggling. In this way, two gangsters wearing black hoods quickly pushed into the van next to him with the door wide open and the engine still on.

He doesn't want to die yet.

She also wants to accompany her parents until they grow old in good health, wants to spend the rest of her life with Yan Xiao, wants to be happy, wants to be safe, wants to be happy.

So he can't provoke the other party.

Wen Xuan who didn't know when was walking behind him witnessed this scene.

Shocked, she screamed and turned around to run away. The tall gangster standing outside the car froze for a moment before reacting, rushed up and strangled her, knocked her unconscious, picked her up, and stuffed her into the car.

Then the car quickly drove out of the alley.

Someone tied him with a rope, covered his mouth with tape, and covered his head and face with a black bag.

During the whole process, Ning Xi silently reached out to cooperate, and curled up obediently in the corner.

The back of his head was slightly injured, because the feeling of blood wet hair was obvious, bursts of pain hit him, he tried his best to endure it without saying a word, the car drove for a long time before stopping, he was dragged out of the car in a daze, and pushed a He was dragged down the stairs by two people in a place that obviously smelled of burning, and was finally thrown onto a glued but still cold floor next to the wall.

The black bag covering his head and the tape covering his mouth were removed. Someone took out his mobile phone and gestured at his face, and moved the light standing on the ground to adjust the light. At that moment, his heart finally relaxed a little.

The photos should be taken to blackmail his family members. The gangsters are all masked, presumably they are just asking for money, and they will not kill people for the time being.

As long as you cooperate with them, there is hope to go back alive.

Wen Xuan was also thrown to one side, her short skirt was lifted slightly, most of the girl's slender and slender legs were exposed, the rope binding her hands was tightened a bit, and her slender wrists were covered with red marks, the tall man approached and bowed down. Stretching out her hand towards Wen Xuan's skirt, Ning Xi was in a hurry, and was about to stop her, but saw that this person just pulled Wen Xuan's skirt down, and then reached out to touch the rope buckle.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wen Xuan was suddenly awakened by his movements!Opening her eyes, she saw a man wearing a black hood so close to her. She screamed reflexively and struggled violently, pushing the man's head away with her hands tied in front of her body, tearing off the man's head. The opponent's hood was torn off!

Everyone froze, Ning Xi and Wen Xuan stared at the same time as if they had seen a ghost.

Wang Jun, whose face was accidentally exposed, instantly distorted into a ferocious face, his face was ashen as the gray wall behind him, so gloomy, it made people tremble.

The short and stout man at the side uttered a curse with a strong local accent, and started to walk.

At that moment, Ning Xi's heart sank heavily.

The lighting range of low-power LED camp lights is not very large, but it can barely be seen that this is a basement with a high space. Burnt smell left behind.

His hands and feet were all bound, and he had to use all his strength to move. Ning Xi tried hard to suppress the pain in the two wounds, stretched out his feet, pushed the white jade bracelet that fell on the ground to his side bit by bit, and turned sideways Pick it up with a few fingers that are barely movable, and slowly stuff it into the pocket of the jeans.

After a sigh of relief, he turned his neck and looked around, the floor, the wall, the ceiling, the columns, the vents...

Not a single slit was spared.

I don't know where this is, but looking around, it should have been a warehouse or something, but now there is nothing in it, except for two flat and long vents near the ceiling on the four walls, the rest The walls below are all dusty, and once the door is closed, no sound can come out, let alone people.

The wound really hurt, making his head swell, Ning Xi frowned, feeling like he was missing something.

Thinking of how worried everyone would be if they knew that I was missing, I couldn't help feeling anxious.

Wen Xuan was still sobbing, he sighed and comforted, "Don't cry, nothing will happen."

Wen Xuan stopped sobbing, and looked up to see Ning Xi, who had looked panic-stricken in front of Wang Jun just now and stared wide-eyed when taking pictures, but now his expression was extremely calm, and he couldn't help being dumbfounded, his eyes swept over his arm The wound that was still bleeding after being bandaged indiscriminately, bit his lip, and thanked with tears in his eyes, "...just now...thank you..."

Wen Xuan hadn't recovered until now, how she was caught here, and almost died.

Before Ning Xi was kidnapped, she really followed him intentionally.

But she meant no harm.

That night Ning Xi didn't pass by by chance, but approached deliberately, because when Ning Xi saw her after approaching, his eyes were clearly asking if she needed help.

Wen Xuan knew that she should be grateful, but she didn't know why, the only thought in her heart at that time was - she didn't want to see Ning Xi, and she didn't want him to see her in such a mess.

Ning Xi probably also understood her eyes, greeted Wang Jun with a smile, and left graciously.

Make her feel ashamed.

After returning home, Ning Xi's clear and bright eyes with some concern flashed repeatedly in her mind unconsciously throughout the night.

She was still jealous of him.

Born in a scholarly family, loved by his parents, full of bookishness, gentle as jade, handsome and pleasant, top-notch homework, he will always have a share of awards, he is so excellent inside and out, and has won all the glory in Yan Xiao's eyes .

But she couldn't hate him anymore.

I didn't want to stay in crowded places these two days, so I went to the very private coffee shop outside Ximen in the afternoon, and when I saw Ning Xi coming out of the newly opened shop opposite, she followed behind.

There was no purpose, and I couldn't say why, I just followed behind silently.

Or, I still want to look at his back and say thank you silently.

He didn't expect to see that scene, and he didn't expect that he would be affected too. It was Wang Jun who kidnapped them.

Is he crazy?

"...They will let us go when they get the money, right?" Wen Xuan whispered after a moment of silence.

It's dirty and cold here, and she's never been treated so rough since she was a child, but what frightened her even more was the cold and crazy eyes of Wang Jun and the other two kidnappers before they left. The sense of horror and trembling at home still occupies her whole mind, the more she thinks about it, the colder she feels, she huddles against the wall, shivering.

Ning Xi glanced at her, and silently sighed again in her heart.

Seeing that Wang Jun had been exposed just now, the other two pulled off their hoods with their backhands. The taller one looked at him and Wen Xuan with a hint of greed in his eyes, but the short one did not hesitate to strike. The strong man's eyes didn't fluctuate at all, his eyes were gloomy and indifferent, and there was a long and distorted blue-black scar on his face, which was extremely eye-catching.

This shows that they no longer worry about whether they will be remembered for their looks, and the possibility of letting him and Wen Xuan go after their goals are achieved is very low.

What a hassle.

However, Wen Xuan is Wang Jun's girlfriend...

To his girlfriend...he shouldn't be so unfeeling, right?

Ning Xi thought that her reassurance could calm Wen Xuan down, but when Wen Xuan heard it, tears flowed all over her face——

"...I, I'm not his girlfriend!" She whispered, her lips trembling, her expression extremely embarrassed.

At this time, the battery of the standing lamp in the corner was low, the light gradually dimmed, flashed a few times, and then suddenly went out.

It was dark all around, and the two of them couldn't see anything. Wen Xuan was terrified, sobbed, and moved her body towards Ning Xi. Ning Xi froze for a moment, pursed her lips and thought about it, but she still didn't dodge, that's all. Let Wen Xuan slightly lean against her side.

After a while, the eyes of the two began to get used to the darkness. Through the glimmer of light seeping from the stairs, they could barely distinguish the blurred shadows around them. The empty darkness made people afraid, but it also shortened the distance and weakened the grudge. , There was a faint smell of blood coming from Ning Xi's body, and at the same time, there was a very nice clear smell, which made Wen Xuan suddenly feel an indescribable sense of security, and gradually relaxed her nerves.

"...I'm not his girlfriend..." In the dark night when no one could see, Wen Xuan choked up and said to Ning Xi the words that had been in her heart for a long time.

"...Why didn't you call the police?" After hearing what happened to Wen Xuan, Ning Xi was shocked.

A person with a good face is not necessarily a good person, Wang Jun once again refreshed his three views.

How sick it is to easily destroy a girl's beautiful life by crossing the moral bottom line because of my own selfish desires to generate evil thoughts!

This kind of person is born with a gloomy mind. He usually has no chance to be tested by extreme situations. He is no different from ordinary people in the sun, but once he has red eyes, he will act crazy. What he sees is darkness, and he wants to drag others into the darkness. , how terrible?

"...I can't..." Wen Xuan lowered her head and murmured, suddenly thankful that the darkness could cover her embarrassment.

The things Wang Jun photographed are many, very clear, and abnormal.Any release will be a sensational headline. Once those nude/photos or videos are released, not only will she be completely destroyed, but her parents and family will also be affected.

The complex interests involved behind the wealthy family are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. No matter how ignorant she is, she also knows that the group in which her father is in power is not as calm as outsiders see recently. While revealing some flaws for them to attack, once her sex scandal affects the family's reputation, they will never let go of this good opportunity to fight for the position. With the help of the situation, it may only be a matter of time before the father's family collapses.

However, the seemingly happy and stable marriage of her parents has actually been undercurrents for a long time. Her mother put all expectations on her, so she worked hard to be well-behaved and obedient since she was a child, so she won her father and the love of the elders, but what if she really had a scandal that made them lose face?Under the devastating blow, the mother will collapse, and the father will be furious. The meticulous care and precious love of the elders may disappear in a blink of an eye.

In her whole life, she will never even think about raising her head to be a human being again. Marrying overseas is the best ending for her.

And Yan Xiao...

Thinking of this person, Wen Xuan trembled all over, her heart ached like it was about to burst, and tears flowed out.

She is no longer qualified to like him.

But if Yan Xiao saw her video like that, she would rather die here.

In the dark, the girl's sobs were clear and pitiful, but Ning Xi remained silent.

After Wen Xuan finished venting the sadness in his heart and slowly stopped crying, he opened his mouth and said——

"...Don't be afraid, when you get out, I will find a way to help you get those things back."

Wen Xuan thought he was just comforting herself and didn't speak.

After a while, he asked in a low voice, "The police will come to rescue us soon, won't they?

"Yan Xiao will be here soon." Ning Xi replied without thinking.

Hearing Yan Xiao's name, Wen Xuan seemed to be burned, but she still couldn't help but look up, "How do you know?"

"...Intuition." In the darkness, Ning Xi smiled slightly.

He had confidence in Yan Xiao, he knew that Yan Xiao would go to any lengths to find him.

Wen Xuan was about to speak, but Ning Xi moved her tied arms and told her, "...rest if you can, and try to preserve your strength." Wen Xuan silently closed her mouth, curled up beside him, no longer Ask more.

After some time, there was the sound of the door opening and the sound of footsteps from the stairs. The tall and thin man walked down with a flashlight. After replacing the battery of the lighting, the basement was suddenly lit again. The man approached the two of them and looked back and forth. , After confirming that there was no problem, he stroked Wen Xuan's exquisite and eminent figure because of being tied behind his back, and his eyes were salivating and lewd. Ning Xi gave him a cold look, straightened up and blocked the trembling Wen Xuan behind him.

The man looked at his pale but handsome face that was even more eye-catching than Wen Xuan who was beside him, he turned and left after clicking twice.

Wen Xuan was so frightened that her heart trembled, but Ning Xi's heart was moved by a strange sound heard when the basement door opened and closed.

It's a pity that the door closed too quickly, and before he could hear it clearly, everything fell into silence again.

But with the light, he saw something else.

The same thing that he discovered because the short skirt the other party was wearing was not easy to look over there, but now that the two of them are leaning together.

"...Uh, can you extend your foot to my hand?" He tilted his head and whispered to Wen Xuan who was still in panic.

In the brightly lit hall, the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed that everyone had hundreds of kilograms of lead weight on their bodies.

Those present were all confidantes, they knew very well what Ning Xi meant to the big boss.

Yan Xiao never thought of calling the police.

In the message, as long as the words "Call the police and tear up the ticket immediately", it was like a red-hot knife, stabbing his heart and lungs continuously, even if it was a one-ten-thousandth possibility, he didn't dare to bet.

When he saw that photo, he had only one feeling, as long as Ning Xi could come back safely, he would give his life whatever the other party wanted.

The kidnapper is very smart, 5000 million, a large denomination of Hong Kong dollars.

The total weight is only more than 100 catties, and three or five big men can be easily carried away in bags.

5000 million, not even Ning Xi's finger.

But what if the other party is not only asking for money?

Yan Xiao, who has always been decisive in killing, dared not think about other possibilities.

On the way back to the urban area, Li Xuyao ​​asked Chen Yi to find an excuse to call Ning Xi's parents to confirm that Ning Xi's parents didn't know about it at all, and the kidnappers only contacted Yan Xiao to ask for money.

Therefore, the scope of the investigation was immediately narrowed, and Yan Xiao quickly asked people to investigate those who had conflicts or business competition with him in the past two years, including Qin Yunjie, who had been sent abroad by the Qin family and had never returned to China, as well as those who had been expelled from school by him. Fu Cheng's family.

Li Xuyao ​​took people to the school, carefully inspected the place where Ning Xi disappeared, and then asked someone to pull out the internal surveillance video of the street including the shops on both sides.

And Liang Licheng is raising money at the fastest speed.

Is the company's Hong Kong dollar cash flow insufficient?The bank is closed in the middle of the night?It doesn't matter, he has a wide network, and he has a lot of ways.

Not long after, almost all the underground money exchange stalls in S City received the news of exchanging cash at high prices. Cash with large denominations of Hong Kong dollars quickly gathered from all over the place to the place he designated. Within three hours, the money was in place. Most of it.

The video was also sent quickly, but the license plate captured by the camera was a bit smudged on purpose, and the fog in the evening was too heavy. After the electronic fog was penetrated, I could barely see a letter and a number, and the others were still very blurry. , and the Jinbei buns are all over the street. If the license plate is not sure, it is very difficult to find out where the car is.

Yan Xiao got up and walked to the window, looking out at the brightly colored lanterns flickering in the foggy sea, took a deep breath.

In the other corner of the room, Ning Xi's photo was constantly enlarged, enlarged, and enlarged again.

Until the blurry image in the pupil of the eye can be analyzed.

When this photo was taken, there was not enough light, and the pixels of the mobile phone were not high. After the initial processing, only the outline of the photographer in the eyeballs could be seen. The person who processed the photo looked at the bloody eyes of the big boss and was frightened all over his body. Breaking out in a cold sweat, Liang Licheng kept urging, and the top experts in the industry arrived ten minutes later and took over the rest of the work.

The special interpolation algorithm can supplement the local image information, process the originally blurred image in more detail, and make the image printed in the pupil highly magnified and increase the clarity, so as to obtain more information. People tapped on the keyboard quickly with both hands, and the screen was full of incomprehensible codes, which dazzled people.

However, the picture on the upper left began to become clearer and clearer.

At this moment, the kidnapper called to ask if the money was ready. After the voice change, the voice sounded weird and cold. Yan Xiao looked at the increasingly clear images on the computer and responded in a deep voice, saying that as long as the other party promised Ning Xi's It's safe, he will never call the police, it's just that it's too late and the bank can't get the money, and it will take a little time to raise all the money, but before the transaction, he must take a look at Ningxi's current situation.

No photos, but videos.

Probably because he heard that the money was almost ready, the person across from him paused for a while, his breathing seemed to be a little rough, Yan Xiao felt slightly relieved.

It seems that this ransom is very important to the kidnappers.

The other side immediately hung up the phone, and it didn't take long for a video to be sent.

In that dark place, the kidnappers specially used a black cloth to block behind Ning Xi as a background board in order not to expose the surrounding environment. In the video, Ning Xi only said one sentence: Yan Xiao, I'm fine, don't worry, don't call the police .

The young boy, who had always been treated carefully on the tip of his heart, was pale and looked very tired at this moment, and even spoke intermittently.

Yan Xiao's heart was about to break, but he could only forcefully hold back the thought of destroying the world, grabbed the pen and paper on the table, and wrote down the number of times Ning Xi blinked and pursed his lips on the paper.

Don't rush, don't rush.

You must be calm to save Ning Xi.

In the photos and videos, Ningxi had already tried his best to leave clues for him.

The unspeakable tacit understanding made him understand what Ning Xi meant the first time he saw the photo and video.

If he guessed right, the blinking and pursing of his lips after a few pauses were Ning Xi's message. He wrote down a few possible numbers according to the prompts, and compared them with the numbers on the blurred license plate that Li Xuyao ​​got. , Li Xuyao ​​walked out of the room with a note with several license plate numbers written on it, and gave orders to the person standing outside the door coldly.

At the same time, the computer also finished typing the last line of code——

"Bingo!!"

The Great God raised his hands excitedly.

Yan Xiao approached, leaning on the table to look at the image on the screen.

The profile of the photographer is already very clear, short and stocky, bald, although his facial features can't be seen clearly, but there is a shadow on his face, if nothing else, it is a long scar.

Liang Licheng was about to send out the pictures for people to start checking, Yan Xiao raised his hand to stop him, looked up, the evil spirit on Yan Xiao's face was like the most poisonous blade in Jiujiu Hantian, his eyes were so fierce that anyone could It can be seen that he will never stop until he skins and extracts the bones of this person and grinds them into powder!

In his previous life, before he was dying, the person sent by Wang Jun to kill him slowly got off the truck after hitting his car, and stood indifferently beside the twisted and broken commercial vehicle, just looking at him like this. Eyes, smoked a cigarette leisurely, and after making sure that he and Uncle Long were out of breath, he slowly took out the phone and called the police.

The figure and appearance of this person are not much different from ten years later, including the black and blue scar on his face.

How could it not be recognized?

He remembered from his previous life to this life.

I remember even turning into ashes.

The person who kidnapped Ning Xi turned out to be Wang Jun.
