The atmosphere between the two reached a stalemate again.
Li Xiao looked at Cai Xiaotang's feet worriedly and finally compromised: "Okay, I won't touch you. I just need to watch you go back to your room. Let's go."
He took a step back, but subconsciously raised his left hand slightly, forming a protective posture.
Cai Xiaotang didn't bother to pay attention to him, and just jumped on one foot and walked towards her bedroom.
But he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Is this guy finished?
Even though she knew what she was thinking about him, she still felt like this...
Cai Xiaotang became more and more angry as she thought about it. She suddenly stopped and stared at the person behind her.
"Li Xiao, what are you thinking about?"
She suddenly asked with a serious expression.
Li Xiao was startled when he heard this. He realized what she was referring to and didn't know how to answer.
Cai Xiaotang continued: "I think I made it very clear that day. I like you. Since you have someone you like and you have rejected me, what does it matter now? I don't care about you at all. Will it make you feel very accomplished if someone who may accept it knows that there is no hope, but can't help but always have a little hope?"
Cai Xiaotang asked directly what she had been holding in her heart for several days.
"I'm not……"
Li Xiao subconsciously wanted to defend, but in the middle of the sentence, when he saw her somewhat hurt eyes, he had to do the next best thing and said: "I am sorry for you, and I am just caring about you as a friend, isn't it okay? "
Right...friend.
This is the relationship between the two of them now.
Li Xiao's eyes flickered for a moment, and he found the most suitable definition between the two.
The next second——
"I do not want to be your friend."
Cai Xiaotang spoke without hesitation, without any hesitation in her tone.
Li Xiao was slightly startled and wanted to say something, but he already heard Jiang Baobao coming upstairs.
Cai Xiaotang glanced at her one last time, then turned and entered her room.
Li Xiao had no choice but to turn around and leave, just in time to bump into Jiang Baobao who was walking over.
"Li Xiao? Is Xiaotang in the room? Don't you stay to take care of her?"
Jiang Baobao took advantage of the situation and wanted to hand him the medicine box in his hand.
Li Xiao shook his head: "No, I'm afraid I have to trouble you to take care of her today. Bei Jue is still waiting for me in the study. We have some things to discuss..."
"good."
Jiang Baobao agreed, but said worriedly: "If you have any news, you must tell me, and don't hide it from me..."
"Okay, don't worry."
Li Xiao agreed and then left.
…
Two more days passed——
There is finally news from the Viper.
Li Xiao successfully obtained the location where the other party intended to trade, and had already made arrangements in advance.
Li Beijue went with him, while Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang stayed at home to wait for news.
"How long until you leave?"
In the living room, Jiang Baobao looked at the two people who were getting ready and asked nervously.
"There's still half an hour left."
Li Xiao looked at his watch, called his men, and confirmed all his actions today.
The atmosphere in the living room was a bit solemn.
Several people sat on the sofa in silence, listening to the clock ticking by, and no one spoke.
finally--
"It's time to go."
Seeing that the pointer was exactly on the hour, Li Xiao and Li Beijue stood up together.
Jiang Baobao hurriedly said: "Be careful! You guys..."
"Baby, don't worry."
Li Beijue knew what she was worried about, so he pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the forehead.
Li Xiao subconsciously looked at Cai Xiaotang, and happened to meet her gaze as she looked over.
Cai Xiaotang quickly looked away and said nothing.
After confirming the equipment on their bodies, the two people prepared to leave with others.
Li Xiao's men had already gone to the other party's trading venue, leaving only a few people around to set off with them.
Several people got into the car together, and one of his subordinates suddenly asked worriedly: "Shura, our news this time came really smoothly. If today is a trap..."
Li Xiao said nothing and glanced at his subordinates calmly.
The subordinate immediately closed his mouth knowingly and said no more.
Silence fell in the car.
Li Xiao and Li Beijue exchanged a look and understood each other's meaning.
The two of them had long realized that this might be a trap.
The other party went to great lengths to ruin the wedding and kidnap Tiantian. How could he let the news out so easily?
But regardless of whether it is a trap or not, it is an opportunity to rescue Tiantian.
Even if he wasn't rescued, it was enough to make the snake relax its vigilance.
Didn't he keep Tiantian just to play tricks on them?
Then let him really think that if they care, they will be confused. As long as it is a trap he throws, they will fall into it!
But in this case... the situation we have to face becomes more dangerous...
…
Half an hour later——
The car stopped in the suburbs.
This place is located in the wilderness, and only in the distance there looks like an abandoned factory.
Exactly where the Viper is trading today.
Li Xiao tapped the invisible earphone, and soon, news from his subordinates came from the other end.
"Shura, Viper's people have arrived, but Link's people don't seem to have arrived yet..."
Link is Viper's boss here, and he is also one of the financial backers who has been supporting him behind the scenes.
"Did you see Tiantian?"
Li Xiao asked in a low voice.
"No, but the Viper's men have a big bag, and the hostages should be packed."
The person on the other end of the headset replied.
Li Xiao responded without saying anything more, but just winked at a few people around him.
Several people understood immediately and quietly moved towards the factory not far away.
The terrain here is really not suitable for bringing too many people.
That's why Li Xiao made arrangements in advance.
Several people successfully walked around the side of the warehouse and saw several cars parked not far away.
It is the viper man.
One of them had a huge sack at his feet.
It is more than enough to fit a little girl inside.
"Tiantian... maybe it's in that bag... maybe it's not..."
Li Xiao whispered to Li Beijue beside him, looking a little hesitant.
Although the bag looked like it contained something, it was motionless.
If it's just a trap for the opponent, then the bag should be just for show...
Li Xiao was a little unsure.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw another group of people approaching from the corner of his eye.
It was Link's men they mentioned before.
The two groups of people seemed to be talking.
After a few random words, Viper's man directly picked up the bag at his feet and wanted to hand it over to the other party.
Li Xiao looked stern and immediately gave the order: "Do it!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the next second——
"Bang bang bang!"
Gunshots rang out all around immediately!
But the Viper's people also reacted very quickly. They seemed to be prepared, and they scattered and found cover in an instant!
Immediately afterwards——
There was another loud bang!
There was an explosion somewhere in the factory, and thick smoke instantly rose.
Li Xiao frowned, gritted his teeth and snorted coldly.
It was indeed a trap, they had no intention of trading Tiantian.
