Sole decision

"It's nothing." Pei Zhaoxue shook his head, and Zhou Ce took a closer look at him. Judging from his expression, there was nothing unusual about Pei Zhaoxue, but Zhou Ce could feel something was wrong.

Pei Zhaoxue always kept his mouth shut, and if he didn't want to, Zhou Ce wouldn't be able to ask anything anyway.Pei Zhaoxue didn't buy rock candy for him, but he brought some snacks for Pei Zhaoxue along the way, and told him that it was still hot, so he had to eat it quickly.Although Pei Zhaoxue didn't have any requirements for food and lodging, looking at the fried food in heavy oil, it was still a bit difficult to get started, so she couldn't help frowning.

He is not disgusted, but observing.

Zhou Ce simply wrapped it in paper, took a bite, put the other side in front of Pei Zhaoxue's mouth, and said, "Eat it directly." Pei Zhaoxue shrank back subconsciously, smelling the hot aroma, and looked at it uncertainly. A glance at Zhou Ce.Zhou Ce raised his chin at him, and Pei Zhaoxue took a bite.

The entrance is crispy and the aftertaste is endless.

"Is it delicious?" Zhou Ce asked.Pei Zhaoxue nodded.Zhou Ce deliberately teased him and said, "You made my dad so delicate. You don't eat anything on the side of the road, and you have to be fed."

When Zhou Xiangyun was mentioned, Pei Zhaoxue's slightly calmer mood became turbulent again.Thinking about it carefully, Zhou Xiangyun is indeed kind to him, even better than his sons. Of course, this kind of kindness is not blind doting, but more strict education and expectations.Zhou Xiangyun always wishes him well, and this kind of expectation puts an invisible responsibility on Pei Zhaoxue. Even though Zhou Xiangyun never asked Pei Zhaoxue to repay the Zhou family, Pei Zhaoxue regards this as her top priority, so she also has the same requirements for herself. Getting stricter.

He seems to accept these subtly, accepting such a life given by others.

Pei Zhaoxue recalled the scene when she was a child. Zhou Ce never took the teacher's words seriously, and played all kinds of naughty pranks behind his back.He has always been ashamed of Zhou Ce's childishness and carelessness. At this moment, he suddenly looked at Zhou Ce, looking back at himself through Zhou Ce for the first time.

He has resentment towards Zhou Ce, but has he never envied Zhou Ce?

Thinking of this, he felt a little lonely again, and turned his head away.Zhou Ce thought that his joke made Pei Zhaoxue unhappy, and said, "I'm talking nonsense. You can do whatever you want. If you don't want to do anything while eating, I'll feed you. I don't mind the trouble."

If you want to have long hair, you can do it. You are the only man in Lucheng who can have long hair.

At that time, he also said the same.

What Pei Zhaoxue heard most from childhood was "whatever you want", and only Zhou Ce told him "you can do whatever you want".Facing Zhou Ce, all the plots about Zhou Xiangyun radiating his entire life emerged at once, and many bits and pieces were not without trace.

Is his faith going to be destroyed again and again?

"Zhou Ce." Pei Zhaoxue snapped back to his senses and looked at Zhou Ce, "I want to stay by myself for a while today, is that okay?"

"……it is good."

Zhou Ce left the room without asking any further questions. After the door closed, his expression changed, his brows were furrowed, a little gloomy.He called and asked Ah Liang, who came with him this time, to find out what Pei Zhaoxue did today, and report to him immediately if there was any news.After a while, A Liang told him that today Pei Zhaoxue went out alone, and the last time he was able to find her whereabouts was at the door of a shop selling ice candy. Later, he chased someone, and he never disappeared again.

In Lucheng, even things that are buried underground can be dug out by Zhou Ce, but this place is not like Lucheng. Zhou Ce came here this time to discuss business, not to fight, and he didn’t bring so many people with him, but at this moment, He has a very bad feeling.

Pei Zhaoxue is not that kind of emotional person, it must not be easy for him to make such an abnormal behavior.

The business negotiations in Yancheng were pretty much the same. Although Qi Huafeng was a bit difficult to get in touch with, he always marked the price clearly when discussing business, calculated the accounts very clearly, and did not go around with Zhou Ce.After Zhou Ce made some calculations in his mind, he felt that after discussing with Liu Rui and Lu Ai after returning home, there would be a result, so he set a date for the return trip.

As a result, the weather was not good, and Yancheng suddenly began to snow again, intermittently for several days, the snow on the ground covered layer after layer, and later, the snow became heavier and heavier, and the whole Yancheng seemed to have entered a state of hibernation , the airport station has been suspended.Zhou Ce had no way to leave Yancheng directly, so he had to drive to the next city, and then transfer back to Lucheng from there.

Qi Huafeng wanted to make arrangements for them, but Zhou Ce politely refused, and asked A Liang to set off first to make follow-up arrangements, and then the group left Yancheng in a mighty manner.

The city made of ice and snow became smaller and smaller behind him. Zhou Ce glanced at Pei Zhaoxue who was sitting next to him with his eyes closed, but his heart became more and more uneasy.

The snow here is not as big as in Yancheng, but it is also sparsely covered. When the car reaches a gas station, it stops to refuel.Because this road is relatively remote, there are usually no cars passing by, and even the gas station is very small, so it took a long time for a staff member to come out.

Zhou Ce got out of the car to breathe fresh air, while Pei Zhaoxue was still sitting in the car, motionless.Zhou Ce looked around. Not to mention the remoteness, it was backed by mountains. The mountains were white, and the gas station was almost surrounded by mountains.Zhou Ce looked back at the small supermarket inside the gas station. His subordinates had just bought cigarettes, but they couldn't smoke at the gas station, so they stuffed them in their pockets.

Zhou Ce turned his head and caught a glimpse of the man in the rearview mirror who was fueling the car, and a light flashed by his backhand.Zhou Ce immediately felt bad, kicked the man away, opened the car door and dragged Pei Zhaoxue out.Although Pei Zhaoxue closed her eyes, she was extremely vigilant and reacted immediately when she realized danger.

From nowhere, a group of people rushed over from the small gas station. They held knives and sticks in their hands, and they had obviously been in ambush for a long time.Zhou Ce's people were all separated. They had guns in their hands, but shooting at this place was purely courting death, and no one dared to act rashly.

People who want to kill Zhou Ce can be sent to Lucheng from here, even in terms of seniority, he doesn't know who these people are.They are not vegetarians either, the two sides started a scuffle, and their subordinates flew over to protect Zhou Ce to leave, but their car was stabbed at some point, and they couldn't drive.

If you want to go, you must kill a bloody road.

Pei Zhaoxue was the first to recognize the situation in front of him. He reached into his clothes and touched the gun hidden next to his body, and shot the legs of the two nearest people without hesitation. Zhou Ce heard the gunshot and shouted: "Ah! Snow!" If the bullet misses a little bit, it may cause an explosion, and none of them will be able to escape.

Pei Zhaoxue is a daring person with high skills, and others can't guarantee that she has such marksmanship.Zhou Ce had two or three people around him to protect him, and he himself was not weak, but he had no eyesight in his fists and feet, and he soon failed.Zhou Ce came to discuss business this time, not to find fault. He didn't take A Fei with him at all, and A Liang left first. The other party came prepared, even if he had a gun in his hand, he was not his opponent.

Both sides lost personnel, and Zhou Ce became calmer when he saw the people around him fall down one by one.He took off his coat and threw it in the face of his attacker, grabbed the opponent's hand and folded it forcefully, snatching the long knife in his hand.This is the most common kind of narrow-blade knife in the streets and alleys. Compared with the knife used by the Zhou family, it is shorter in length and much worse in weight.

Killing people is just right.

He didn't use it for himself, but threw it out to Pei Zhaoxue.Pei Zhaoxue was surrounded, and the gun in his hand had already been dropped. Although it was not impossible to fight with bare hands, it was still difficult.Pei Zhaoxue only heard Zhou Ce's yell, looked in his direction, reached out to catch the knife, drew a half arc out of the way, and swept a hole in the crowd.

"Run!" Zhou Ce shouted.

They can't all fold here, Pei Zhaoxue's position is the easiest to break through, Zhou Ce took the opportunity to rush over and grab those who wanted to stop Pei Zhaoxue, he wanted to let Pei Zhaoxue escape first, this was the only chance.

This decision was made almost instantaneously. Zhou Ce was never afraid of mutations and death, but he could not accept not fighting and waiting to die.

However, the other party's target didn't seem to be him at all. Some of them fought with him, while others immediately went after Pei Zhaoxue.Pei Zhaoxue stood where she was, not intending to leave like that.

Zhou Ce was slashed in the back, but he still yelled, "Axue! Run!"

Obviously there are only dozens of steps between them, but the sound seems to be unable to reach there.A knife was raised in front of Zhou Ce, and he had nowhere to hide. Just as he accepted that the knife was about to fall on him, he was pushed by someone in an instant.

He took a closer look and saw that Pei Zhaoxue rushed over from nowhere, Ju Gao was facing him, with one hand supporting the wall beside his face, and the other hand was holding the knife behind his shoulder, with the blade pointing upwards, just enough to resist the fall the knife.

When the man saw that he was about to machete Pei Zhaoxue's back, he suddenly showed a flustered expression. He had no idea that Pei Zhaoxue's speed could be so fast. In the next second, he was hit by Pei Zhaoxue's backhand, and blood spattered out. The knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

This crisp sound was like a button, and everyone present froze for a second.

Pei Zhaoxue had already taken off her coat, tore off her own tie, wrapped her hair around with one hand, and then held the knife horizontally in front of her, with her left arm bent and clamped the blade and slowly drew it out. The blood on the knife wiped on the sleeve of her shirt. With a pointed finger on the ground, he moved lightly to reveal a cold white knife light, and immediately revealed his murderous aura.

"You can't die yet, at least, not now."

After Pei Zhaoxue threw these words to Zhou Ce, he rushed into the crowd.Zhou Ce didn't have time to think about it, so he got up and joined the battle.It's just that the knife on his back was deep, the blood kept flowing out, and his physical strength had also declined, so he could barely cope with his own side, and he really couldn't help Pei Zhaoxue more.

But looking at the battle situation on Pei Zhaoxue's side, he has a knife in his hand, like a tiger with wings added, and he can move freely among the crowd. There are many blood stains on his white shirt, and there are even a few drops of blood on his face, but he doesn't look embarrassed at all. People think he is like a rainbow.

At this moment, a person suddenly got into the situation, and after a feint, he went straight towards Pei Zhaoxue. Seeing this, Zhou Ce stopped him, seeing that this person was tall, with a calm face, but he was full of ruthless moves towards him.After seeing his appearance clearly, Zhou Ce was taken aback.

Who is not Li Ying?

But he didn't have more time to digest the surprise, and he dodged Li Ying's fist sideways, but he didn't expect Li Ying's next move to be faster, hitting Zhou Ce's ear directly.At this point, Zhou Ce had no way to dodge. Li Ying's fist was as heavy as lead. Zhou Ce felt a roar in his ears, his head felt like it was about to explode, and he fell unconscious when his eyes darkened.

Pei Zhaoxue turned around and saw this scene, his eyes widened, and he didn't expect to see Li Ying.

Are these people from Qi Huafeng?What exactly is this for?
