In the dim light, Li Yanyu's hands were tied behind his back, and the lantern on the corridor was like a solitary lamp, swaying in the night wind.
The sound of the wind passed through the corridor, whimpering like a baby crying.
There was a guard standing every few steps in the corridor, each with solemn eyes and a sullen face.
The wooden door in front of him was closed tightly. His eyes were red, and he looked down at the wet marks under his feet. All he could think of was Bai Yu'an standing outside the restaurant with a smile on his face, waiting for him.
Everything seemed like a dream.
The person who was looking at him one moment was gone the next moment.
Li Yanyu couldn't accept this now. In a daze, he always felt that Bai Yu'an was joking on him.
He has loved joking with him since he was a child.
The clothes were soaked and weighed heavily on his body. Li Yanyu's shoulders slumped and he could hardly stand. He didn't even think about why these guards pressed him to come here.
Every scene in his mind was filled with Bai Yuan's appearance.
I don't know how long I stood there, but suddenly the door in front of me was opened, and a person came out. As soon as he came out, he was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
Li Yanyu looked over at the man. He was the boatman on Bai Yuan's boat just now.
Feeling someone push behind him again, Li Yanyu couldn't help but step towards the threshold and look inside.
There were only a few candles lit in the room, and it was so dark that he could hardly see anything. He was pushed forward by the guards behind him until he passed through the curtain screen and stood in front of the man sitting on the main seat with his forehead propped up.
In the dim light, he couldn't see the other person's face clearly. He only felt that the other person was tall and sitting there in black clothes. The darkness from above was pressing down on him. He even felt that the invisible eyes in the dark were looking through him sharply at this moment. , couldn't help but feel a little frightened for no reason.
But before he could take a second look, his shoulders were pressed down by a force, his knees fell to his knees involuntarily, and his head was also pressed down.
Shen Jue was half hidden in the darkness, her eyes fell on Li Yanyu, and she pressed her lips tightly for a while before opening her mouth: "Li Yanyu."
There is some majestic power in the deep tone, which is the majesty accumulated by those who have been in power for many years.
Li Yanyu was so shocked by this sound that he broke into cold sweat. He didn't know how the other party knew who he was.
He didn't dare to raise his head and lay on the ground, countless thoughts running through his mind.
Shen Jue put down the fingers on his forehead and dropped his dripping wide sleeves onto his knees. His tall and generous upper body leaned forward slightly and looked at the young man who was kneeling on the ground in front of him and did not dare to look up.
The finger on his thumb glowed coldly. Shen Jue's eyes were deep and he said in a low voice, "Li Yanyu, what did she tell you before?"
Even though Li Yanyu lowered his head, he could clearly feel the pressure on his head, like an unshakable boulder hanging above his head.
If you're not careful, it can be broken into pieces with no bones left.
Now he began to think back to the scene when he was taken aboard. He was surrounded by people from the Yamen, and there were guards on every floor of the ship. The people in front of him were obviously not someone he could mess with.
But why bring him here alone.
Cold sweat slid down Li Yanyu's neck, thinking in his heart who was the person who asked him.
Perhaps because he didn't dare to speak for a long time, the person above him seemed a little impatient, and his voice became colder: "I'm talking about Bai Yu'an."
"She came to you twice and asked you what to say."
Li Yanyu was stunned, and suddenly remembered the help Bai Yu'an asked him to help.
Bai Yu'an asked him to tie a small boat near the shore.
What about that boat?
But Bai Yu'an asked him not to tell anyone.
Li Yanyu looked uncertain and said in a hoarse voice, "Yu An didn't say anything to me."
As soon as Li Yanyu finished speaking, a cold light suddenly struck in front of him. When he reacted, a long knife was already stretched out in front of him.
The sharp sword edge was almost touching the skin on his neck, and he could even feel the coldness, and it was about to cut off his head the next moment.
Shen Jue looked at Li Yanyu and said calmly: "I want to know what she said to you. The last person she came to see was you."
"It's strange. Last time you were on the same boat, why are you on separate boats this time?"
Li Yanyu lowered his head, his voice choked with sobs: "I don't know either..."
"She came to see me. She said she was going to Beijing tomorrow and invited me to swim in the lake again..."
"But..."
Li Yanyu's voice was choked with tears, and she couldn't help feeling sad.
Shen Jue examined Li Yanyu's expression and pursed her lips: "She fell into the water. Do you think she is really dead?"
Tears welled up in Li Yanyu's eyes and she said tremblingly: "I saw him fall into the water with my own eyes."
"I couldn't save him..."
Shen Jue was silent for a long time and then said in a low voice: "My people didn't save her either."
After a pause, he added: "But her body was not found."
"But now I want to hear what she last said to you in your ear."
Li Yanyu's fingers trembled, and Bai Yu'an finally whispered in his ear that he must keep the secret.
Yuan asked him not to tell anyone.
Li Yanyu looked at the pair of black boots in front of him, tried to control his emotions and whispered: "Yu'an just told me that we would meet at a restaurant after swimming around the lake."
As soon as Li Yanyu finished speaking, a deep voice sounded from above: "Oh?"
"I remember that you talked several times alone in the room, but she really didn't say anything else to you?"
Shen Jue's voice turned cold as she spoke: "For example, what do you want you to do for her..."
Li Yanyu was surprised that the person in front of him actually knew what happened for several days. His heart beat faster and he broke into a cold sweat. He said in confusion: "Yu An and I have had a good relationship since childhood, but we just reminisced about old times..."
Halfway through his words, another respectful voice sounded outside the door: "Sir, the person who went to the shore to look for me has returned."
Shen Jue moved his fingers, and the guard who had been standing beside him pulled up Li Yanyu who was kneeling on the ground.
Shen Jue took a deep look at Li Yanyu and saw that the young man's eyes were red and bloodshot, his clothes were soaked, and his face was full of pain.
Shen Jue knew that the scene where he went into the water to rescue Bai Yu'an over and over again didn't look like he was pretending.
He also saw Bai Yuan fall into the water with his own eyes, and jumped into the water to save her at that moment.
It was a knee-jerk reaction.
Shen Jue looked at Li Yanyu, stood up and stood in front of Li Yanyu.
Shen Jue is much taller than Li Yanyu, and compared to Li Yanyu's handsome figure, Shen Jue is much taller, plus the posture of a perennial leader, and the temperament that is nearly ten years older. , just standing in front of Li Yanyu can make Li Yanyu almost unsteady, with such oppressive majesty that he dare not even let out his breath.
He had seen all kinds of people in the restaurant, everyone, but the person in front of him just stood in front of him, making him feel as humble as a grain of sand, an ant under his feet.
Such inferiority made Li Yanyu's head press even lower.
Shen Jue lowered his eyes and looked at Li Yanyu, and said calmly: "Li Yanyu, Bai Yu'an is my good friend, you can rest assured to tell me."
"I want to save her too."
"Even if her body is found and buried."
Li Yanyu then boldly raised his head and glanced at Shen Jue, recognizing him as the man who had just rescued Yu'an on the boat.
It's just that Shen Jue's eyes were too oppressive. Li Yanyu couldn't resist it and quickly lowered his head.
Then I heard a low voice: "Let me ask you for the last time, what did Bai Yu'an say to you."
Li Yanyu felt that he was about to blurt out.
But Yu'an asked him to keep the secret no matter what the situation, which must have made sense.
It’s just that Yu’an is dead now.
Why does this person keep asking him? It seems to be meaningless.
Li Yanyu hesitated, not knowing whether he should say it or not.
