Chapter 429 The Gloomy Shadow of Death (Two Chapters in One)
“Drip Ring Ring…”
The cell phone in Su Yue’s pocket suddenly rang, Lin Lijiang didn’t finish his sentence He swallowed the words back and prepared to wait until the other party finished the phone call before talking about not being able to drink milk tea together.
Taking out her mobile phone from her pocket and looking at the caller ID on the screen, Su Yue found that it was a call from her colleague, and she was a little confused as to why the other party was calling her.
“Hello.”
"..."
"Huh?"
"..."
"Okay, it doesn't matter, go ahead!"
Lin Li saw The expression on the pretty Su Yue's face changed rapidly, and she was a little curious about what the person who called her said, which made her have such a change in expression.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yue's slender eyebrows frowned slightly.
Then, while putting her phone back in her pocket, she raised her head and looked at Lin Li, who was watching her, and said very apologetically.
"Lin Li, I will finish my morning class later, so we can't go drink milk tea together."
"Eh?!!!" Lin Li was stunned when he heard this. .
Originally, he was planning to say that he had something to do in the afternoon and could not go to drink milk tea together. But now that it was okay, he didn't have to ask himself, and the matter was cancelled. He was very happy.
Of course, the happiness in her heart cannot be shown on her face now, otherwise, Su Yue will definitely ask herself in confusion why she is so happy.
"What happened?" Lin Li asked with a little doubt, his expression unchanged.
“My colleague called me just now and said that an old man in her family accidentally fell while going down the stairs and was taken to the hospital by ambulance for emergency treatment.
She asked for leave from school and now has to rush to the hospital, and she has classes in the afternoon, so she hopes that I can take over the get out of class for her." Su Yue told about the phone call she just received and what her colleagues told her. Something.
Lin Li nodded and said, "So that's what happened! The old man fell, but it was very dangerous."
"Okay, that's it for now. I'm going back to the office. When we're free later, we'll go drink milk tea together." Su Yue said with a smile.
"Yes." Lin Li responded, then said goodbye to Su Yue and walked to where he parked his car.
Su Yue watched Lin Li open the door and get in, start the van and leave.
She turned around, carrying a bag of exquisitely crafted and delicious pastries given by Lin Li. As she walked towards the school, she lightly opened her red lips, with a regretful expression on her pretty face, and whispered muttered.
“Originally we planned to have a cup of milk tea together after class in the morning, and then naturally go to the cinema to watch a movie together.
Oh, what a pity, I can only wait until next time to ask him to go with me. "
There was a car parked on the roadside at the corner of the street. Zhu Daqi was sitting in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel with both hands. He looked at Qian Ying walking towards the school with a bag of things in his hand. His eyes flickered, as if there was something wrong. Thoughts.
"Boom... ”
When Su Yue walked into the school and disappeared, Zhu Daqi looked away, started the car, looked at the red dot representing the target displayed on the phone, and drove the car to follow.
…………
Back in the teacher's office, Su Yue came to her seat and sat down.
At this time, Wang Jiao, a colleague who was teaching Chinese and sitting at the table next to her, put down the pen in his hand, turned his head to look at her, and asked.
"Su Yue, you suddenly got up and left just now. What were you doing?"
Su Yue smiled and said to her round-faced and slightly chubby colleague, "Just now my friend Come to school and bring me some cakes.”< br>
Wang Jiao’s eyes fell on the bag placed on Su Yue’s desk, and she guessed with a smile, “I came to school specially to give you cakes. I guess this friend of yours is a boy, and he is interested in you. Pursuing you.”
"..." When Su Yue heard what Wang Jiao said, she immediately shook her head, "He! He just treats me as a good friend and has no other ideas."
After saying that, Su Yue couldn't help but feel in her heart He made some remarks about Lin Li... he was a lump of wood, a wooden man, and a big idiot.
According to experience, the boys who usually flocked to give gifts to Su Yue had the same purpose. Wang Jiao did not expect that she would guess wrong this time.
Su Yue untied the bag containing the pastries and handed it to her colleague, "Here, I just ate a piece and I think the pastry tastes very good. You can also take a piece and try it."
"Thank you!" Wang Jiao smiled and stretched out her hand to take out a piece of exquisite pastry from the bag. After taking a bite, her eyes suddenly lit up and she asked a question that Su Yue had asked before.
"This pastry is delicious! Where did your friend buy it? I'll buy some later."
Su Yue said with a smile, "My friend didn't buy this, he was given to him by someone else. "
"Oh." Wang Jiao's idea of buying some pastries was shattered, and she felt a little regretful.
Su Yue’s every move and smile in the office always attracts the attention of male colleagues. She just left the office suddenly and then came back. The male colleagues in the office immediately pricked up their ears and listened. Her conversation with Wang Jiao.
At first, when they heard that someone gave Su Yue a gift and Su Yue happily accepted it, the male colleagues secretly thought something was wrong, wondering if Su Yue was going to become another boy's girlfriend.
After hearing that the relationship was just friends, the male colleagues immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
When I brought a piece of pastry to Wang Jiao, other colleagues naturally wanted to share a piece as well. This is a human thing.
Su Yue stood up and gave each colleague in the office a piece of pastry.
Fortunately, Lin Li packed a lot of pastries for her, otherwise there wouldn’t be enough.
…………
Spiritual world, Dongwu City.
Last night, the incident that took place at the dock of the Scarlet Blood Gang, involving several second-level peak practitioners, had spread throughout the streets and alleys of Dongwu City, becoming everyone's concern. After-dinner conversation.
"Have you heard? Last night, there was a big battle on the dock of the Red Blood Gang." An old aunt carrying a vegetable basket and tomatoes in her hand said to her friends. .
"I heard it. When I went out in the morning, everyone was talking about it! It was said that the dock of the Red Blood Gang was completely destroyed because of the battle." Holding the white paper in his hand Carrot's old aunt responded to her friend.
“The Scarlet Blood Gang has done a lot of bad things in normal times, and this time it’s like this, it’s retribution!”
"Shh! Keep your voice down, the Red Blood Gang is not dead yet! If they hear you say that to them, they will take revenge."
"What are you afraid of? They don't have time to take care of themselves now. How can you think of taking revenge on us?” That’s what we say, but the Red Blood Gang is not someone we ordinary people can afford to offend, so it’s better to be careful..."
Two old aunties buying groceries were choosing what to make for lunch. While talking about the ingredients needed for lunch.
Not far away from them, there was a man wearing ordinary clothes. His appearance was unremarkable, making people unable to remember his appearance, but his figure was exceptionally good, making people look at him and think about him. The woman was listening secretly.
"Didn't you say that after Li Dingtian became the city lord, after so many years of governance, the public security of Dongwu City is very good? Why do practitioners start fighting in the city every now and then?"
Qin Muqing eavesdropped on the passers-by. During the conversation, I was thinking about what my friend had mentioned about Li Dingtian's governance of Dongwu City when I had a small gathering with him before I ran away from home.
After a while, Qin Muqing, who bought some vegetables and eggs, came out of the store and walked towards home.
Because this newly opened vegetable shop is not far from home, Qin Muqing does not need to buy too many vegetables at once to go home. It is enough for the day. After eating, he can go out and buy it again. Anyway, it is not far away It won't take much time since home is so close.
When Qin Muqing was approaching the door of her house, she saw a figure standing at the door of her house from a distance.
"Miss Qin, are you back?" Sister Zhang, the box lunch seller, greeted Qin Muqing with a smile.
"Sister Zhang, I'm sorry to keep you waiting..." Qin Muqing said apologetically.
"I just arrived a while ago." Sister Zhang, who sells box lunches, said with a smile, "The vegetables you bought today are quite fresh!"
Qin Muqing took something out of her pocket key, opened the door, and explained, "The store owner Ban said that the vegetables in the store today are all freshly picked from the fields, so they are particularly fresh. "
The two of them walked and chatted, walking on the cobblestone path, crossing the courtyard and entering the villa. Next, Qin Muqing will start today's cooking class.
.........
In the quiet ward, a man wrapped in white gauze lay on the bed.
"Where am I?" Liu Qizhi opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, muttering to himself before his chaotic thoughts returned to normal.
Soon, a terrifying masked figure appeared in his mind, frightening him to recall the scenes before his coma.
“I’m still alive!!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open.
"Click."
A gentle man with a very haggard look walked into the ward.
Last night, Fang Jingtang was summoned by the Yamen police and was not released until this morning.
As the red-blooded gang leader and the biggest victim of this attack, Fang Jingtang did not want the people from the yamen to continue to pursue the matter.
After experiencing two attacks, each time bringing him extremely close to death, the terror of the masked murderer was deeply imprinted in Fang Jingtang's mind.
He didn’t want to see that terrible masked murderer again, or be attacked by him for a third time.
"Gang Leader."
A weak cry came from the hospital bed, which brought Fang Jingtang back to his senses after being deep in thought.
He looked up at Liu Qizhi, who was wrapped in white gauze and wrapped like a rice dumpling. Then he walked forward and said with concern.
"Liu Qizhi, you suffered a serious injury. Although you are mostly healed after the doctor's treatment, you still need some time to recover.
Next, you should take a good rest and stop thinking about other things. Help I will take care of the things here..."
Facing Fang Jingtang's expression of concern, Liu Qizhi was deeply moved.
But he just encountered a life and death crisis last night. How could he not think about it now?
The masked murderer originally just listened to everyone describe how scary he was. Because he had never experienced it intuitively, he was not particularly afraid of him.
Last night, I faced the opponent directly, fought against him, and was defeated without any ability to fight back. I was almost killed by the opponent.
Liu Qizhi, who narrowly escaped death, can now be said to be extremely frightened of the masked murderer.
As soon as he closes his eyes, the terrifying and indifferent look of the masked murderer will immediately appear in his mind, frightening his nerves, and feeling like a huge stone is pressing on his heart, making him breathless. Come.
Fang Jingtang's current situation is actually not much different from Liu Qizhi's, or more serious. After all, he was attacked twice by the masked murderer!
There is a saying that things can only come in threes. He was lucky to survive the first two times. Fang Jingtang felt that if he was attacked by the masked murderer for the third time, it would be absolutely impossible for him to be like the previous two times. Lucky to survive.
The crisis of death shrouded Fang Jingtang's heart, making him feel like someone was pressing a sharp knife on his back.
This feeling of a ray of light on your back all the time is very uncomfortable and not something that ordinary people can endure.
Even if Fang Jingtang's psychological quality is much stronger than that of ordinary people, he can still persist for a short time. After a long time, he will still be unable to withstand the pressure of death and suffer a mental breakdown.
The ward became quiet, and the two nervous people didn't know what to say for a moment.
“Bang.”
Suddenly, the door of the ward was rudely pushed open, and Lu Tao, with an arrogant expression, walked into the ward. He looked at Fang Jingtang with disgust.
Fang Jingtang was not surprised by Lu Tao's attitude because he had a big quarrel with the other party yesterday.
Now that everyone has lost their skin, Fang Jingtang no longer uses his hot face to rub others' cold buttocks.
"What's the matter with you?" Fang Jingtang looked at Lu Tao expressionlessly and asked.
If it weren’t for Lu Tao’s identity, Fang Jingtang wouldn’t have bothered to say a word to him after they had already broken up with each other.
"Hmph..." Lu Tao snorted coldly. If Wu Xiong hadn't asked him to pass the message, he wouldn't have wanted to talk to the guy who yelled at him yesterday!
"Angkor asked me to tell you that you should not appear on the dock for the next few days. After he gets specific instructions from the master, he will tell you what to do in the future..."
Fang Jingtang fell silent immediately after hearing this. Liu Qizhi, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked at the silent Fang Jingtang. He seemed to be able to guess what Fang Jingtang was thinking at this moment.
"Okay, I have already received what Angkor said. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Lu Tao said, turned around and left the ward, and went back to hand in his errands.
The annoying guy left, and the awkward atmosphere in the ward eased a little.
"Gang leader, that masked murderer is really scary. Now he has set his sights on us and will not give up until he kills us.
If he shows up again next time, we may be dead. "Liu Qizhi, who was lying on the hospital bed, took the initiative to break the silence in the ward and said.
