Chapter 167 The Violent Godfather (20)
Qi Yan held her breath for a moment. The shadow at the door was like a ghost that could rush in and strangle her throat at any time.
With her heart in her throat, she bent down and ran her fingers across the gap between the door handle and the door frame to make sure the door was locked.
Since he didn't rush in directly, it meant that he didn't hear accurately. Her voice was already very small. Unless the other party leaned against the door and listened hard, they would not hear her.
probably not……
Qi Yan was unsure, so she carefully stepped back under the shower head, pretending not to notice, and followed the normal steps to rinse.
While applying shower gel on her body, she recalled her voice on the phone just now. There was absolutely no word she said aloud, and it should not be exposed under the double cover of the sound of water falling from the shower head and the sound of the faucet flushing.
Qi Yan wasted her time, taking a shower slowly, and finally opened the bathroom door a crack while wearing a bath towel.
Lu Yan was no longer at the door. Her pajamas were hung on the bathroom door handle. After changing, she walked out of the bathroom, covered in moisture.
For hot summer days, taking a shower can really make you feel more comfortable.
"Boss?" she called softly.
No one in the room responded. She walked to the living room and found that Lu Yan was saving his flowers on the spacious balcony. The balcony door was closed tightly and he did not hear her voice.
She observed his expression and saw that his thin lips were pursed tightly, his facial lines were cold and hard, and he looked like he was not to be trifled with.
She walked to the balcony and tested his tone: "Isn't it done yet? Sorry, I won't water the flowers casually in the future."
"It's okay." Lu Yan patted the dirt on his hands and asked as if unintentionally, "Were you on the phone in the bathroom just now?"
Lu Yan's voice was relaxed and casual, but he put doubts on the table.
Qi Yan was so frightened by this sentence that her hands and feet went cold, but she quickly told herself to calm down. If Lu Yan really heard something, he would have rushed up and smashed the door open based on his character. There was no need to wait until now to ask her.
She frowned and said displeased: "Are you hallucinating? I don't even have my phone with me. Besides, I didn't say anything."
Lu Yan stared at her for a while, his deep eyes full of inquiry.
In fact, he didn't hear her voice, but he heard two completely different sounds of water flowing, one from the shower head and the other from the faucet of the sink.
This did not rule out the possibility that she wanted to use the faucet when taking a shower. Everyone has different washing habits, but he was confused and just asked. After all, sound interference is indeed the most commonly used cover method.
The most important thing is that she did not have a mobile phone on her, so he just gave it a try without really thinking about it.
Qi Yan stood on tiptoes, stretched out her hand to touch his forehead, and muttered: "Is it possible that I've made you so angry?"
Lu Yan pushed her hand away and left the balcony.
Qi Yan leaned against the door frame and breathed a sigh of relief. The new features of D77's upgrade were really life-saving.
……
Hospital, ward.
Xu Jichu was sitting on the hospital bed, holding an apple in his left hand. He looked helplessly at Pan Shenwen, who was peeling oranges. He had to say: "No need. In fact, I don't even want to eat apples."
"Just eat it. The boss just sent me a message and asked me to take good care of you." Pan Shenwen peeled the orange and put it on the bedside table. He said seriously, "Don't blame the brothers for being ruthless. Anyone can see it." Boss Chu likes to keep Miss Qi with him recently, why do you have to mess with her?"
Xu Jichu smiled helplessly, "I can't understand that I have been in Mohe for so many years, but I can't compare to a woman who has just been here for more than a month."
"No, don't think so, the boss values you very much."
"Do you value me?" Xu Jichu's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, "He has slowly distributed all the work in the second district to others. There are fewer and fewer things in my hands. He clearly doesn't trust me."
"You can't think like that. Three years ago, three drug manufacturing factories in District 2 exploded. The surveillance footage found recorded that the last person to leave was you. Anyone else would suspect that it was related to you." Pan Shenwen said solemnly. Sighing, "I believe in you. You saved my life. Without you, I would have been in jail."
Pan Shenwen took out his mobile phone and pulled up the chat history for Xu Jichu to see.
Xu Jichu lowered his eyes and saw the chat history between Lu Yan and Pan Shenwen on the screen.
[Lu]: Please pay attention to the new commanders of the third and eleventh districts and bring up new ones you can trust.
[Pan]: Didn’t the commander of District 11 just change? Change again? What happened to Li Huan in District 3?
[Lu]: Zhujiu said that three policemen have sneaked into Mohe, codenamed Chenxi, Jiaoniang, and Wu.
[Pan]: What? Three? So you suspect that Li Huan and Shangguan Jinzhu may have a problem?
[Lu]: Deal with it as soon as possible.
After reading the brief record, Xu Jichu frowned and his eyes were full of worry.
Even he didn't know that there was a policeman named "Jiao Niang" here. Is it Qi Yan? If Qi Yan is ‘Jiao Niang’, then who is ‘Wu’?
"Look." Pan Shenwen took back his mobile phone, "No one in the boss can trust such a big Mohe. We are on guard against it. All the members who join have to be screened three times for their identity before they are accepted. Even so, , we can still sneak in three policemen.”
Pan Shenwen's mouth showed a sinister smile, "Do you think these three policemen can be ordinary people with the capabilities of the Security Bureau? Chenxi has been sneaking into Mohe for so many years, maybe he has actually become the commander. Don't blame the boss for doubting you."
Xu Jichu's thoughts were confused, but he had always been calm. It didn't matter who the other policeman was, all he had to do was to keep Qi Yan.
If Qi Yan can really have regular contact with Lu Yan, her value will be far higher than that of him.
From the moment he saw her joining Mohe, he was ready to sacrifice at any time.
If she needs a stepping stone to stabilize her position, then this stone must be him, and it can only be him.
……
The night fog shrouded this bustling city, and the lights of thousands of houses reflected the stars in the sky. The dim street lights and the rushing traffic merged into a dazzling orange sea.
Qi Yan lay on the balcony, blowing the comfortable summer night breeze, and looked up at the sky.
Stars seemed to be wandering on the black sea, appearing and disappearing. Occasionally, you could still see the twinkling lights and shadows left by airplanes passing by. Everyone in this city had their own story and life, and she was as small as a speck of dust in it. .
"Put it on." A coat was placed on her back, and Lu Yan's voice had a calm and comfortable tone in the dark night.
"Thank you, boss, I don't..." She was halfway through her words when she saw the man's eyes as sharp as knives from the corner of her eye. She immediately suppressed the rest of her words and put on his coat obediently.
Lu Yan took out a pack of cigarettes, took one out and held it between his fingertips, and handed another to her. He remembered that she knew how to smoke.
Qi Yan took the cigarette naturally.
Lu Yan held the cigarette in his mouth and said, "I have something to tell you. You have to agree even if you don't agree."
