Green tea with green plum

[Heat Wave chases and intercepts the two of them]

Hearing Ji Mingyu's words, Gu Yun also frowned for an instant.

Her eyes were gloomy, and she took a small step back: "It seems that you must take her away?"

"Nonsense." Ji Mingyu's knife did not move away from Ji Yaoyao's neck, "Get out of the way, unless you want her to die in front of your eyes like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, a drop of cold liquid fell on the back of Ji Mingyu's hand.

His hands trembled, and he cursed at Ji Yaoyao in a rough voice: "Why are you crying? When I asked you for money, if you were a little bit kinder, how about forcing me to nowhere like now?"

He growled in Ji Yaoyao's ear, his loud voice made her eardrums buzz.

Ji Yaoyao's legs were weak, if it wasn't for Ji Mingyu's support, she might have fallen to the ground long ago.

At this time, Gu Yun said: "Ji Mingyu, have you not thought about your own children when you do these things? As far as I know, you still have a son who just started elementary school, right?"

When mentioning his son, Ji Yaoyao could feel that Ji Mingyu's arm around her neck became stiff: "What do you mean?"

"No other meaning." Gu Yun said, and made a phone call, "It's been so long since you've been out, you should miss your son too?"

There were only two beeps from the busy speaker, and a tender and crisp voice sounded from the other end: "Dad."

It is impossible for him not to hear his son's voice.

Ji Mingyu's whole body was immediately stunned by a punch, and the soles of his feet were nailed in place like lead.

Gu Yun took a few steps forward, and stopped at a distance of one step away. She pointed her phone at Ji Mingyu, and the dim light in her eyes flashed away: "Shouldn't you say hello to your child?"

"Ran..." Ji Mingyu's voice was too dry to speak, "Ran Ran, where are you?"

"I'm at home, Dad. I was sleeping. Suddenly, many strange uncles and aunts came to the house. They asked me if I missed you, and said that if I missed you, they could chat with you."

The child's voice was very brisk, "Father, where are you now, when will you pick me up and mommy home?"

"I……"

Ji Mingyu was about to answer, when there was a beep, the phone was hung up by Gu Yun.

Her eyes were as sharp as a knife, cutting through Ji Mingyu's heart inch by inch: "It's so boring to talk on the phone, doesn't Mr. Ji want to go home and see your child with his own eyes?"

Obviously compared to Gu Yun, Ji Mingyu is much taller and stronger as a big man, but at this moment he feels an invisible oppressive force coming, which makes his body tremble unconsciously, and his voice trembles: "Don't hurt him, you guys Don't hurt him..."

Gu Yun glanced at Ji Yaoyao who was being held hostage by him between the daggers, and his voice was as cold as ice: "That depends on what Mr. Ji does, you can ignore the relationship with her brother and sister, and don't care about your parents being disappointed, don't you want to?" Is your child alive and well?

"But he is young, even if he loses an arm or a leg, he should be able to adapt quickly, right?"

Ji Mingyu had no doubts that the woman in front of him, who looked well-dressed but was actually as terrifying as a devil, could do such a thing.

He swallowed his saliva, and only the original thinking ability remained in his brain: "You can't do this, you are breaking the law."

As soon as the words were spoken, accompanied by Gu Yun's contemptuous low smile, Ji Mingyu realized how stupid his words were.

"Give her to me, and I guarantee that nothing will happen to your son." Gu Yun's tone was like a candle flickering, "Otherwise—"

"Take it!" Ji Mingyu said, pushing Ji Yaoyao towards Gu Yun with great force.

Ji Yaoyao, whose hands and feet were tightly bound, had no time to react, so she had to slam forward involuntarily.

Gu Yun subconsciously stretched out her hand to hug him tightly, and under the effect of inertia, the two of them fell to the ground together.

Even so, at this time, Gu Yun still hugged Ji Yaoyao tightly and did not let go.

Ji Mingyu took the opportunity to pick up the car keys on the ground, carried the safe, and fled quickly.

Gu Yun didn't have time to chase after her, so she hurriedly held Ji Yaoyao's cheeks, looked up at her carefully in the faint candlelight.

Until now, the calmness she had pretended for a long time finally revealed her panic: "Yaoyao, how are you? Is there something wrong?"

As he spoke, Gu Yun rubbed his fingers over Ji Yaoyao's face to see if she was injured.

There was a chill on the neck when her fingertips touched it, and Gu Yun suddenly realized something. Hidden under the black hair, there was a not deep and not shallow scar on Ji Yaoyao's side neck, and the blood had not yet dried up.

Ji Yaoyao didn't notice the flash of hostility in Gu Yun's eyes, she only felt a warm softness against the skin that had been frozen unconscious.

With Gu Yun's slightly gritty lick on the tip of her tongue, Ji Yaoyao realized what she was doing after a while.

Ji Yaoyao's nose was sore, and tears fell down.

"It's all right." Gu Yun hugged him tightly, "Yaoyao, it's all right."

"Gu Yun..." Ji Yaoyao was exhausted and could only lean on her, her voice was full of grievances, "Why did you come? Do you know how scared I am? I thought I would definitely not survive..."

Gu Yun let her lean on her shoulders, weeping and complaining in a low voice, and only caressed Ji Yaoyao's long hair over and over again: "Sorry, I came too late."

Ji Yaoyao's tears wet the clothes on her shoulders unknowingly, just as she was about to move, she remembered that she was still tied up with a rope.

The rough hemp rope was almost embedded in her skin, and Ji Yaoyao couldn't break free at all.

"Don't move, let me do it." Gu Yun said, turning on the flashlight that Ji Mingyu left behind, aiming the light at the place where Ji Yaoyao was tied up, and her bloody skin from the hemp rope was immediately imprinted in Gu Yun's eyes.

She lowered her eyes: "Does it hurt?"

Ji Yaoyao had been unconscious from the pain for a long time, but now that her fear had passed, she remembered that when Gu Yun caught her just now, she fell heavily to the ground on her back.

"What about you?" Ji Yaoyao asked, "Did you fall somewhere?"

"I'm fine." As Gu Yun said, she lowered her head and began to untie the rope tied around Ji Yaoyao's ankle.

There was no suitable tool in the room, so Gu Yun could only half kneel on the ground and untie the rope.

The knots are all tightly tied knots, and it is not easy to untie them. Gu Yun lowered her head and focused all her attention on the knots.

The second hand of the clock on the wall was still ticking, ticking away, second after second.

The moonlight was slightly cool, falling on the floor, Ji Yaoyao took advantage of the faint light, looked at Gu Yun's still perfect and delicate edges and corners, and said suddenly: "Sister."

"Ok?"

The movements of Gu Yun's hands paused.

"It's nothing."

Ji Yaoyao shook her head again.

There is really nothing to say, I just want to call her like this, Ji Yaoyao's eyes are softer than moonlight, but unfortunately Gu Yun, who lowered her head, didn't notice it.

Just as the rope on her feet was untied, Ji Yaoyao smelled a strange smell at the tip of her nose: "What smell?"

Gu Yun's reaction was faster than her: "Something is burning."

Saying that, she helped Ji Yaoyao up, and the two walked out the door.

However, as soon as they reached the corner, the expressions of the two of them changed involuntarily—thick smoke filled the light of the flashlight, making people cough uncontrollably.

In the depths of the smoke, you can see the red lava-like flames downstairs whistling, and before they get close, the scorching heat hits the pavement.

"It's Ji Mingyu, he must have set the fire!"

Ji Yaoyao couldn't help but tremble all of a sudden.

She never expected that Ji Mingyu had no intention of letting them go.

Not knowing whether she was angry or choked by the thick smoke, Ji Yaoyao coughed twice.

The road ahead was obviously impossible, and the two retreated to the previous room. Without thinking, Gu Yun closed the door behind him tightly.

She moved quickly, pulled out a quilt in the bedroom, and blocked the gap between the bedroom door and the floor, so that the smoke would slow down.

But this couldn't resist the scorching temperature. Across a wall, heat waves chased and blocked the two of them.

Compared with Gu Yun's calmness, Ji Yaoyao felt that she was useless.

She really became an ant on a hot pot, turned around in a hurry, and looked down from the balcony of the bedroom—the firelight on the first floor faintly illuminated half of the hillside, and the shadows of the trees spread their teeth and claws, falling on the wall, but how did she escape? I can't escape either.

In such an old house full of furniture, the fire ignited quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it licked the walls and spread to the second floor, where it was blown wildly by the wind.

The bedroom behind him was also gradually encroached by thick smoke. Gu Yun could only close the glass door between the balcony and the bedroom. The two were trapped in the small world of the balcony. Ji Yaoyao could already see the red fire rising and falling on the other side of the living room separated by a wall, and the flames swallowed It will be a matter of time before they come here.

"What should I do..." Ji Yaoyao kept looking down.

He just escaped from Ji Mingyu's clutches, is he going to die in the flames again?

Gu Yun's complexion also sank, but she was still much calmer than Ji Yaoyao, and while untying the rope on her hand, she said: "Yaoyao, listen to me, this rope will be untied and wrapped around your waist in a while. Go down, run as far as possible, the people who meet us will arrive soon."

"What about you?" Ji Yaoyao without thinking.

"Of course I'll go down too, and we'll all be fine."

As Gu Yun said, her forehead touched Ji Yaoyao's forehead: "Yaoyao, believe me, since I was a child, I have received a lot of professional training in order to deal with emergencies, so I won't let anything happen to me."

"No." With tears in Ji Yaoyao's eyes, she shook her head, "I'm afraid, Gu Yun, I'm so scared."

She was just hopeless, just hearing that the fire was blowing in the wind, and something was being swallowed up with a destructive force, she was so afraid that her legs would weaken.

However, the knot in Ji Yaoyao's hand has not been untied yet, her voice almost trembling: "Don't untie it anymore, Gu Yun, the fire is about to rise, let's just jump down like this, the third floor is not very high, we don't want It will be dangerous."

This is Ji Yaoyao's most instinctive reaction when she is desperate, but the trained Gu Yun knows that this method will not work, so she can only be patient: "The rope will be untied soon, don't be afraid, you and I will be fine, Trust me, okay?"

As soon as the words fell, Ji Yaoyao felt her hand loosen and the rope was untied.

Gu Yun didn't have time to say anything more, she pursed her lips, and quickly slapped Ji Yaoyao's waist.

The wind blows from the north, and the wall facing the south has not been engulfed by the flames. It is still too late to go down, and if there is another second of delay, the vitality will be lost.

Ji Yaoyao's mind was in a mess, she just followed Gu Yun's movements and stepped over the balcony railing.

Seeing that she was about to flip out, Ji Yaoyao's mind regained a moment of clarity. She looked at the other end of the rope tied around Gu Yun's waist, and realized that it would be impossible for Gu Yun to come down from this bare balcony.

There was no place to tie the other end of the rope, and there was no second person who could hold the rope for her. How could Gu Yun get down?

Ji Yaoyao stopped suddenly: "Gu Yun, how do you get down?"
