Niantang's sentence "I can't hold back" was a bit late.

Terayama who hurried back just happened to bump into the attendant who was waking up.The master and servant looked at each other, and he who was suddenly knocked out could only falter and explain that Mr. Yu was taken away.

In a fit of rage, Terayama kicked the screen, and he asked someone to call Liao De over. The errand attendant could only come back sweating profusely and said that Chief Liao was gone.

……

Due to the clothes on his body, Xu Zhiyuan was unable to leave the main entrance of the banquet hall, but he followed the route given by Niantang and went out without incident.

Just as he was about to leave the hotel under the cover of the car, a beam of flashlight hit him. Xu Zhiyuan immediately raised his hand to cover his face, and saw the other party poking his head out of the driver's seat Come, he didn't even think about it, and ran away.

But the other party stopped him and said in a low voice: "Xu Zhiyuan, why are you here!"

"Mom?" When Xu Zhiyuan looked at her, the lights were also removed.The mother and son met each other in embarrassment. Li Anrong saw the strange clothes on his body and said, "Why are you still wearing the clothes of a waiter?"

Xu Zhiyuan hesitated to speak, looked around for no one, got into the car first, and said, "I'll explain to you later, take me to a place first."

It just so happened that Li Anrong was leaving too, so after letting him sit still, he started the car and asked, "Where are you going?"

"No. 201 Xiyuli, my friend's house." Xu Zhiyuan reported the house number of Fu Shubai's house - they discussed it in advance, Xu Zhiyuan got Fu Shubai an admission invitation, and Fu Shubai was responsible for accompanying Wu Tongqiu in secret, Xu Zhiyuan Then go to inquire about the news - if there is a difference in the middle, and if they can't find each other, they will meet at Fu Shubai's house.

But there was still a tinge of naivety in his prediction. He didn't expect Liao De and his group to arrest Wu Tongqiu to silence them. Even if the two of them escaped by chance, the pursuers couldn't let it go. Under such circumstances, they stayed in an easily exposed place and waited. Death is obviously not a wise move, but Xu Zhiyuan still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, and wants to visit the meeting place.

As expected, the lights in Fu Shubai's house were off, but the door was open—but it didn't seem to be opened in a normal way.

Xu Zhiyuan broke into a cold sweat behind his back, and stopped at the door, but Li Anrong slightly sensed his intentions, and said, "Did you go to the night party just because of Tong Qiu? Fu Shubai also went?"

Xu Zhiyuan bit his lower lip, but still said: "Yes."

"Get in the car," Li Anrong immediately understood, walked back, and said firmly, "They must not be here. Lao Mou is responsible for inquiring about Sishan's news. That old guy has eyes and ears, so he must know Fu Shubai and him. Where to live. They come back to throw themselves into the trap."

While driving, Li Anrong asked worriedly, "Have you discussed other meeting places?"

"No... I just suspected that there was something wrong with Jin Jirui before, but I didn't expect him to be one of the people who killed Tong Qiu." Xu Zhiyuan clenched his fists and said, "I didn't think carefully."

Li Anrong frowned, and asked Xu Zhiyuan what else he wanted, and Xu Zhiyuan told him one by one.

She gripped the steering wheel tightly, glanced at her remorseful son, and could only comfort her: "At least they escaped, both of them are smart children, you have to believe that they will be fine."

Xu Zhiyuan looked at his mother, and suddenly remembered that the Xihua Daily used to report on the Huai City night party.So he asked suspiciously: "Why are you here? Did the Xihua Society send you to work?"

"No, I'm about to be fired." Li Anrong told Xu Zhiyuan the truth, "I just... feel that there is something wrong with Ah Yao who came to the banquet today."

Xu Zhiyuan lowered his eyelashes and said, "Didn't my uncle tell you that he was invited by Sishan alone?"

"...I didn't say it," Li Anrong said with a sigh of relief, "It really is that pervert."

Li Anrong can be regarded as an "veteran backbone" in Xihua Club for many years. If he doesn't even know the shitty things that are about to come out, it will be in vain to work so hard for so many years in the hometown of human feelings.

"I always feel worried at home, so I found a reason to bring Mrs. Terayama to the banquet, thinking that at least Terayama will not be too pretentious."

"You know that Terayama's wife?"

"We'll talk about it later," Li Anrong said, "It's important to find Tong Qiu and Shu Bai."

"If I was being chased by someone, I must have run to a place with a lot of people," Xu Zhiyuan said calmly, "Near Jirui Hotel...the place with the most people is the Grand Theater."

Li Anrong was driving towards the destination, while turning the corner, he asked, "Did you see your uncle in Jirui?"

"I sent someone to send him home," Xu Zhiyuan said dully, "It's safe."

"That's good. I will inevitably be enemies with Sishan and the others when I go there tonight." Li Anrong sighed, "I have already submitted the application for resignation... You also have to behave in a restrained manner, and don't give them the opportunity to spread rumors and cause trouble."

Xu Zhiyuan said weakly: "Restrain... what?"

"I know you like men... But you have seen what kind of virtue Sishan is, and you definitely don't want to be like that." Li Anrong said seriously, "Ah Yao rejected you, so you should accept your heart. I I have discussed it with Xu Zhenping, we will accompany you to cure and change slowly, okay?"

Accommodation and tolerance are sometimes a kind of cotton cloth sprinkled with salt, allowing the wound to grow and heal, the pain is wrapped in tenderness, and it is impossible to shed a drop of festered blood.

Xu Zhiyuan found that the people closest to him were very good at doing such gentle and cruel things.

He could only dryly take Chicheng as a joke and said: "I just like Yu Yao, why do you all think... I seem to have done something outrageous."

Li Anrong pursed his lips, but did not answer, the car drove fast, and they arrived at the place.

Xu Zhiyuan had no choice but to put down his mood first, and looked around in the crowd. He grabbed a person who was handing out flyers, described their appearance, and asked him if he had seen them before.

They shook their heads even after asking a few questions. Just as they were in a state of desperation, a beggar who had been sitting in the corner tugged at the corner of Xu Zhiyuan's clothes.

Xu Zhiyuan turned his head suddenly, and saw the silent beggar holding a clean rice bowl in his hand. The two looked at each other for a long time, and Xu Zhiyuan, who had just been softened by his ups and downs, handed him a big ocean.

Just as he was about to continue searching, the beggar suddenly said, "The two people you mentioned came out of the night party at Jirui Hotel, right?"

Xu Zhiyuan stopped, and immediately asked, "Have you seen it?"

"I went to ask for money at the gate of Jirui tonight, but was chased out by the patrol. On the way back, I happened to meet two people who left in a hurry...It's very similar to what you said."

Xu Zhiyuan asked, "Where did they go?"

"I don't know. It's probably the hospital. The man is holding his arm, and it sounds like he was shot." The beggar stuffed the silver dollars into his pocket, as if he was afraid that the young master would turn his back on him, and said, "I see It’s not very clear, because not long after they left, the patrolmen chased them out.”

Xu Zhiyuan put another piece of ocean into his bowl, and then left with a "Thank you, young master".

"Fu Shubai was probably injured." Xu Zhiyuan became angry from accumulated worry, and cursed, "This group of things that are not as good as pigs and dogs actually shot and wounded people."

"Going to the hospital?" Li Anrong said, "No...the Central Hospital of Huai City is some distance away, and the shortest way to go is to pass by Jirui Hotel. They probably won't go back."

Xu Zhiyuan looked around, and felt that the road near the Grand Theater was very familiar. He and Yu Yao had walked through it before - the night when they were guests at Pei Zhen's house.

His intuition suddenly snapped his fingers in his heart, inexplicably reminding him of the alma mater of quack doctors.Xu Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go to Diagnosis Medical College and take this road."

And Yu Yao on the other side was indeed as Niantang thought, he did not let go of his vigilance, found a reason to get out of the car and fled on the way home, when he came home panting, the housekeeper hurried out to greet him, saying: "Mr Yu, Why did you come back alone?"

"Hasn't Zhiyuan come back?"

"No."

Yu Yao gritted his teeth and said, "I need to drive out."

"Madam has already driven out," the butler said with concern, "Is there something urgent for you?"

"An Rong? Where did An Rong go?"

"I'm going to the night party too," said the butler, "Mr. Yu, don't worry, Dr. Pei has called two or three times, and asked me to wait here to tell you. The number is on the table, you go back first." Dial, I'll go get you a car."

Yu Yao entered the room exhausted. While dialing and waiting, his heartbeat calmed down for a while, until the other side picked up the phone.

"Ah Yao, is that you?" Pei Zhen said.

"it's me."

His voice was a bit serious: "What dangerous things have you been doing recently?"

"I'll talk to you in detail later, okay? I'll definitely answer all your questions." Yu Yao had a hunch that he probably knew something, so he didn't pretend to be a joke, and said, "You called me because you have something urgent, right?"

"I met two students on the way home, one is Fu Shubai, I know him." Pei Zhen said, "He was shot in the arm, and I am arranging an operation for him now. He told me to inform you or Young Master Xu."
