C83 (1/2)
Xi Jianguo got out of the car and leaned against the door without moving. He finally put Abby down with a knockout drug and drove alone to find Chen Xi.
The large lock of the duplex proved that she had never come back.
He called her, but her phone was turned off.
He didn't know where she was going, but there were some things he wanted to make clear to her.
He had only come to Tian Xin's place to try his luck.
It was very possible that she was currently with Chen Shao Huan.
Now that he saw the lamp, he was almost certain that Chen Xi Wu was here.
He took a pack of cigarettes out of the car, lit one, and slowly smoked it between his fingers.
His tightened heart, which had been tense all night, relaxed a little. The light white smoke was blown away by the night wind, and the dim yellow street light made his tall figure seem even longer and more lonely.
The spark on his fingertip finally dissipated. He took out his phone and called Tian Xin from the window that still had the same light.
Tian Xin and Chen Xi Wu were discussing what happened tonight, focusing on Xi JianZhe's attitude.
Hearing the phone ring, he grabbed it and looked at it. He then gave it to Chen Xi Wu and handed it to her. So late at night, did he call to talk about life with his sister? ”
Chen Xi glanced at the screen and saw the three words. She blinked and immediately lost interest in eating snacks. She grabbed the cup of water in front of her and gulped it down.
Her silence made Tian Xin somewhat hesitant. She thought for a moment before answering the phone and pressing speaker.
”Hello?”
”Tian Xin, I'm looking for her.”
The gentle, low, and hoarse voice carried a sense of certainty and an unyielding toughness that could not be refused.
