Big business guy wants to chase me

Chapter 145

It was almost five o'clock when Xi Jincheng brought Shu Ran to the place he mentioned.

At five o'clock in winter, it is still a dark night where you can't see your fingers.

Shu Ran's legs were trembling, she glared at Xi Jincheng angrily, and cursed inwardly: "Beast!"

For the first time, Xi Jincheng gave her a smile, which made Shu Ran's eyes straighten, and then cursed: "Monster! It's poisonous!"

"The person you're looking for is inside." Xi Jincheng stretched his hand around her back and put it under her armpit, supporting part of her weight and reducing the pressure on her legs.

"Have you seen it?" Shu Ran looked at the two bungalows far away from other houses in the village under the lights of the car, feeling a little uneasy.

"No." Xi Jincheng shook his head, and after she said "Oh", he added: "I have all his information."

Shu Ran glanced at him sideways, what did he want to explain?
Xi Jincheng raised his eyebrows, and led her closer to the bungalow.

"Wait... wait!" Shu Ran grabbed his hand and shouted nervously.

"Why? Don't you have the courage to face him?" Xi Jincheng sneered, unable to understand her inappropriate cowardice: "You came to me in such a hurry that you didn't even have time to change your clothes, didn't you just want to see you sooner?" To him? Now that we are right in front of our eyes, why back down?"

"not me……"

Before she could finish her sentence, Xi Jincheng reached out and knocked on the dilapidated door panel. The rough wooden thorns on the log-colored door panel hurt his hand. He frowned slightly, but said nothing.

"Xi Jincheng..." Shu Ran frowned displeased, why is he always so self-assertive?

"With me here, what are you afraid of?" Xi Jincheng glanced at her, and kicked her lightly a few times.

He was afraid that if he used force, the seemingly weak door panel would be kicked down by him!

"Can't you let me sort out my mood?" Shu Ran hurriedly pushed his abdomen back a few steps with her elbows, really afraid that he would kick down the whole door.

She had personally witnessed how he kicked a tall and burly man three meters away like a sandbag!
"Don't be hypocritical, I've already sorted out the way for you." Xi Jincheng dismissed her protest with disapproval.

"..." Clean up the fart!
She's been trying her best to escape from the chaos he created, okay?
"Who is it?" Just as Shu Ran was thinking wildly, a voice that did not belong to her nor to Xi Jincheng was so old that it was a little ethereal.

In this bitingly cold and dark color, there is an eerie feeling that makes one's hair stand on end.

Shu Ran shrank into Xi Jincheng's arms, Xi Jincheng looked down at her, he thought this woman was not afraid of anything!

"Look for He Zeng." Xi Jincheng replied in a deep voice, letting the woman in his arms squirm as if she wanted to drill a hole out of him.

There were several continuous coughing sounds from inside the door, and then, the dim light came on through the blue curtains, and the door was opened from the inside with a "squeak".

Shu Ran buried her face directly in Xi Jincheng's chest, and gave him the back of the head.

Xi Jincheng looked at the old man who was wearing a thick cotton coat at the door. Under the cotton coat was a pair of legs in thin long johns.

"Who are you? Do you have anything to do with Ah Zeng?" After the old man finished speaking, he coughed again.

"Is He Zeng not at home?" Xi Jincheng held Shu Ran's shoulder with one hand and pulled her out of his arms: "What are you afraid of?" He glanced at the old man at the door.

Uh……

Well, it is indeed different from what I imagined, and there is nothing scary about it.

After taking away his hand holding her shoulder, she turned her back to him, and secretly scolded herself: "Pretentious! What's there to be afraid of?"

"A Zeng hasn't come back for two days, and I don't know where he went." The old man sighed heavily, feeling helpless and worried.

"He often does this?" Xi Jincheng continued to ask.

"Yeah! I don't know what's going on. Since I came back eight years ago, I have been shutting myself at home and refusing to go out. I always talk to myself, and we can't understand what he is saying. Then I took him to see a psychiatrist...cough cough..." The old man started coughing again, which made his heart tremble.

Inexplicably, Shu Ran felt her throat itch, as if she wanted to cough.

Swallowing, the old man's words made her automatically think of what happened eight years ago.

The time coincided, and the state of He Zeng described by the old man was the same reaction as a guilty conscience after doing something bad.She could already conclude that this He Zeng was the murderer who bumped into her father and escaped.

What's next?
The old man started coughing so badly that he couldn't even stand up straight.

"Old man, don't stand outside the door and catch the cold, go inside and talk!" Shu Ran looked uncomfortable and couldn't help saying a word of concern.

Seeing him coughing like this, I was really worried that he would cough up his lungs in the next moment.

"Okay...cough cough...ok...you come in quickly..." The old man patted his chest hard and went into the house.

Shu Ran was hesitant to follow in, but Xi Jincheng stood there without moving, showing no intention of going in at all.

Shu Ran looked at him, frowning slightly.

"I can't get in this kind of environment." Xi Jincheng snorted with disgust.

"..." Shu Ran said "heh" speechlessly, she forgot that he has a cleanliness habit.

"If you dare not go in..."

"Who said I dare not go in?" Shu Ran turned around and walked into the house before he finished speaking.

The old man had stopped coughing and was boiling hot water on the stove.

The stove was covered with pitch-black ash, and the color of the stove itself could hardly be seen.

Shu Ran thought to herself that it was the right choice for Xi Jincheng not to come in.

She looked around at the layout of the house. The two bungalows were connected and not separated, so they looked very long.

The walls were not even plastered with cement, they still looked like bricks one by one.

The room on the right is full of soda cans, plastic bottles, cardboard and other things that the old man usually picked up, and the house is filled with an indescribable unpleasant smell.

There are two beds on the left side, and the two beds are placed end to end in a row, one tall and one short, one big and one small.

On the big one, there is a person lying, and the electric light is on her side, hanging on the wall.

The light was dim, and she couldn't see the person on the bed, but the quilt, like the stove, could barely see its original color.

In the whole house, she did not find a single thing of value.

"Child, come and drink a cup of hot water to warm your body!" The old man poured a bowl of steaming boiling water over. Inky.

Shu Ran looked sad, took the bowl with both hands, and thanked her repeatedly.

"Where's your guy? Doesn't he come in and sit around?" The old man looked towards the door and asked her in the local language.

Shu Ran's face became hot for a while, but she just shook her head slightly without answering.
