The dusk of spring is like a beautiful picture paved with rich oil paintings, and the sky of the city is burned like fire by the sunset.
The branches and leaves of the street trees sway in the breeze, as if they are beating a happy melody. The lights are on in the streets and alleys. It is the rush hour after get off work, and people are coming and going in a hurry.
The tall buildings appear taller and taller in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if they are the guardians of the city. The scenery outside the window is like a moving picture: some people are taking a leisurely walk in the park, some are busy processing documents at work, and some are preparing dinner at home.
Qiao Yunshu just got off work from the company. She worked overtime at the company for a while today and finalized the spring recruitment plan.
The sunset was just right at the moment, and the orange glow hit her body, casting a dreamy filter on her.
The company was not far from home, only about ten minutes' walk. Seeing the sunset was so beautiful, Qiao Yunshu luckily didn't take a taxi and walked home directly.
She also took a few photos of the sunset, her steps were brisk and she was in a happy mood.
After walking a certain distance, Qiao Yunshu skillfully turned into a small alley. This was a house in the city. I heard it was about to be demolished, so it was not as lively as other places, but there had never been any bad guys. What's more, Besides, it was still afternoon, so she felt relieved to leave.
But as she walked, Qiao Yunshu keenly noticed something was wrong. She always felt like there was someone following her behind her.
Sometimes a woman's sixth sense is very accurate, and the premonition in her heart at this moment is very strong.
Qiao Yunshu did not ignore it. She squatted down slowly and tied a shoelace. Her long black hair hung down to block her face. She took the opportunity to turn her head and glanced quickly. Sure enough, she saw a black shadow. He quickly hid behind the building.
Seeing that he was still a man, her heart suddenly picked up and beat uncontrollably.
Although Nie Hanting had taught him several self-defense techniques before, in fact, the power gap between men and women was an unbridgeable gap. No matter what skills he had, when facing a strong man, those of his The moves in front of him were just useless efforts.
A chill ran down her back and the hairs all over her body stood up. She immediately took out her phone and called Li Hanting directly.
It's not that she doesn't trust the police, it's mainly because Li Hanting has huge power in City A. She has also seen his strength. It will be easier for him to handle some things, and he may be able to get there faster.
Just two seconds after the call was dialed, the man answered the call, and his deep voice came from the other end, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Yunshu's tone was as usual, but the volume was a little louder than usual. She called out sweetly, "Honey, I'm already off work. Didn't you say you were here to pick me up? Why haven't I seen you yet?"
Li Hanting paused for a moment, and then quickly understood her current situation, "Are you in any danger now?"
"Yes, I'm already in the alley. Why did you say you were at the entrance of the alley? Why don't you come and pick me up quickly? I've been working all day and I'm exhausted."
Li Hanting stood up immediately, strode long legs, and almost rushed out of the office. The special assistant who was about to send him documents for signature looked confused, wondering what was wrong with his boss.
I didn't see him being so anxious when the previous big project worth tens of billions almost failed.
"Don't be afraid, I'll be there soon."
Although he only said a few words, they fell into Qiao Yunshu's ears with powerful power and deep comfort, which instantly soothed her panic and helplessness.
Her nose was sore and her eyes were moist, but she still remembered to do the whole act, so she continued to act coquettishly with her sweet voice, "Okay, since we will meet in a minute, I will forgive you first. ”
While Qiao Yunshu was saying these words, she was also paying attention to the movements behind her. Perhaps her call really had an effect. The person following her thought that a tall man was about to pick her up, so they did not dare to Take action.
When Qiao Yunshu used her mobile phone to reflect the light and looked back, she could no longer see the figure of the man.
Her heart in her throat fell back into her stomach, and she breathed a long sigh of relief as if she had survived a disaster, but the feeling of panic and helplessness still lingered in her heart and did not dissipate for a long time.
When she discovered someone was following her just now, her hair stood on end, but she was still able to remain calm.
But now that she was out of danger, she could no longer control her emotions. Big tears overflowed from her eyes and fell down like a pearl with a broken string. She sniffed and spoke to the phone The other end said, "It's okay. You don't have to come. He was frightened by me and has already left."
"What's the matter? I'd better come and take a look. Was there a gangster following you just now?"
"It's not a gangster, he must have some other purpose for following me." Qiao Yunshu's intuition was very strong, so her tone was very firm, "No need to trouble you, I will call the police myself later, and the police will help me investigate."
"I'm almost there, there are still five minutes left. You should hurry home now. I'll come find you at home."
Qiao Yunshu asked him in a surprised tone while jogging, "There are still five minutes left. Were you at the company just now? Your company is quite far from my home. You shouldn't have run a red light, right?"
Li Hanting's voice was deep and sounded a bit dignified, "What does running a red light mean compared to you?"
God knows that when he went downstairs just now, he felt an uncontrollable sense of panic in his heart. He was afraid that Qiao Yunshu would encounter some danger, and now that he was not with him, she, such a weak woman, might be bullied.
So the moment he got into the car, he couldn't care less about the traffic rules. He ran a red light and speeded, almost driving the car like a racing car.
When he heard her voice saying it was okay on the other end of the phone, the mood in his heart improved slightly, but it did not completely dissipate.
Because Qiao Yunshu's slightly crying voice was still coming from the phone at this moment, he could almost imagine his expression at this moment. It must be tearful, pitiful, and pear blossoms with rain, which made people feel sad after seeing it. She felt pity and wanted to hold her in her arms and comfort her.
He wished he could come to her immediately and comfort her.
Qiao Yunshu panicked, "No, no, no, don't run the red light, don't speed, and drive well. If something happens to you, I can't bear the crime."
Li Hanting then reduced the speed of the car and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The moment Qiao Yunshu opened the door to his home, the feeling of panic temporarily faded away.
Grandma and Aunt Zhang were sitting on the sofa entertaining their two children. When they saw him coming in, they looked a little surprised, "Yun Shu, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so white?"
Qiao Yunshu said with a normal expression, "It's okay. My period is probably coming soon, and my stomach hurts a little now."
Aunt Zhang and grandma are old and like to worry about this matter, so it's better not to let them know.
This may be a common problem among young people. They always report good news but not bad news to their family members, for fear that they will worry.
Aunt Zhang looked concerned, "If your stomach hurts, I'll make you red dates and wolfberry water to drink tonight. Many young girls today have dysmenorrhea. They must be physically weak, have insufficient qi and blood, and have a cold uterus."
Grandma also got up and went to find a hot water bottle, "I'll boil you some hot water and pour it in. Cover your stomach and it will stop the pain."
The concern of the two elders made Qiao Yunshu feel warm.
She was moved and smiled, "Grandma, Aunt Zhang, you are so kind."
Grandma was a little embarrassed and said, "Hey, why are you so sentimental all of a sudden?"
Qiao Yunshu smiled without saying a word and walked up to the two babies to play with them.
The two children are already six or seven months old. At this time, babies will respond more strongly to sounds and can already pronounce mono- or bi-syllable words.
Qiao Yunshu and the two elders consciously spoke more in front of them and told them stories from time to time. Although the children could not understand them at this time, their language functions would develop faster under the influence of the language environment.
About half a month ago, the two children were able to call mommy in a sweet voice. Although this syllable was uttered accidentally, they didn't even understand what mommy meant, and they couldn't call it out every time. , but she was still excited for a while.
The sense of maternal love and responsibility in my heart has become stronger.
Within a few minutes, there was a knock on the door. Qiao Yunshu stood up and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, she met the man's dark eyes.
Grandma was a little surprised, "Why is Han Ting here?"
Qiao Yunshu was afraid that Li Hanting would directly tell her grandmother what had just happened, so she spoke first, "I asked him to come. We have something to discuss, and it's work-related."
The second half of the sentence is a bit of a cover-up.
Grandma understood, "Well, since Han Ting is here, he will also stay and have dinner by the way."
Qiao Yunshu didn't stop her this time. After all, he came all the way here, and even running a red light and speeding to treat him to a meal just for her was not too much.
They went to Qiao Yunshu's bedroom.
Because this house has four bedrooms and one living room, she, grandma and Aunt Zhang each have one room, and there are one or two children's rooms.
So we could only go to her bedroom to talk things over.
After leading the man into the bedroom, his eyes suddenly darkened a bit, and there seemed to be a flash of rich ink, with an unknown emotional meaning.
Qiao Yunshu was confused at first. She followed his line of sight and saw a piece of underwear on her bed.
The underwear is made of white lace, the design is a bit sexy, and it is placed on the bed.
Her face suddenly turned red. This was because the underwear he took out when he wanted to change this morning did not match the clothes he was going to wear today, so he changed it temporarily and got a strapless tube top bra. .
I was in a hurry to go to work, so I didn't put away the white lace underwear and put it directly on the bed. I thought it wouldn't be too late to put it away when I came back in the evening, but now I forgot about it and Li Hanting saw it.
The temperature in the room seemed to have suddenly risen several degrees. Qiao Yunshu felt a tightness in her chest, as if she couldn't breathe.
She quickly and hurriedly hid her underwear under the quilt, then cleared her throat and coughed twice, looking at him threateningly, "Come on, you didn't see anything."
Li Hanting raised a sharp eyebrow, "Miss Qiao, I'm not blind, and my eyesight is very good, 5.0."
She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't what you should do most now is to echo my words? This way neither of us will be embarrassed. If you insist on saying this, both of us will be embarrassed, okay?"
Li Hanting said calmly, "No, no matter what you say, I won't be embarrassed. It's just you."
Her temples jumped suddenly, and she suddenly had the urge to drive the man in front of her out of the house immediately.
How could there be a man with such a low emotional intelligence and yet still be so sharp-tongued?
Fortunately, Li Hanting knew how to stop when it was appropriate, and did not continue the topic. Instead, he talked about business, "Tell me about the situation you just encountered."
Qiao Yunshu told in a concise and concise manner how she found out that someone was following her and what she saw.
Li Hanting nodded and said in a softer voice, "I have sent people to investigate, but there is no surveillance on that section of the road, so the investigation will be more difficult. You may need to wait for two days."
"Because the identity of the person following you is unknown, we don't know why he came here, and we don't know whether he did it temporarily or if he had planned it for a long time, so your personal safety cannot be guaranteed during this period."
Qiao Yunshu also agreed with a solemn expression, "But I have never offended anyone, whether in life or work, so he must have followed me on a temporary basis, maybe to steal money or sex or something."
Li Hanting shook his head, "We can't take it lightly. For your safety, we still need to be more prepared. I'll pick you up and drop you off at get off work from now on, okay?"
Qiao Yunshu's eyes widened, "Is it too much trouble for you to pick me up after get off work? No, no, I'd better call the police. The police are here, so I should be fine."
"In a case like today where he was just following you and didn't do any substantial harm to you, the police won't interfere too much, let alone protect you like me."
Li Hanting stared at her with dark eyes, "Cao Yun said, now is not the time to draw a clear line. What if she has really been planning for a long time, has been targeting you for a long time, and wants to kill someone?"
Qiao Yunshu also had to admit that there was a probability that the situation mentioned by the man would happen. After all, they had no idea of the person's identity and purpose. The only thing they could do was to imagine all the possibilities and make perfect preparations.
She is not the kind of person to be pretentious, "Okay, I'll trouble you from now on."
