Confess to you, do you want to listen?

Chapter 165 Tempest

How did Chen Xiao think that she would close the door suddenly, so he quickly withdrew his hand, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Why are you so ignorant, woman?"

I don't know if Gu Shi'an inside heard it, but the door was not opened again.

Chen Xiao touched the ashes on his nose. He still wanted to knock on the door, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he finally withdrew his hand and went downstairs.

Gu Shi'an leaned against the door, listening to the sound of his footsteps receding, closed his eyes and did not move for a while.She soon cheered up and went to take a bath.

Gu Shi'an's life in Gu's was calmer than she had imagined. She hadn't seen her uncles, second uncles and third uncles since the last time.

Gu Su has seen it a few times, and she originally thought that with Gu Su's temper, he would find fault from time to time.But not at all.At most, he looked at her bitterly and left.

She is not popular, and this has long been spread throughout the Gu family.Almost everyone stayed away from her.

I don't know if it was Qin Tang's order or what, but Sister Du completely left her alone at first.But it didn't take long for her to find something to do like an ordinary colleague, but she was no longer as enthusiastic as before.

Gu Shi'an is still the same as before, buying some afternoon tea and some snacks from time to time.At first, Ms. Du refused to eat it, but she gradually ate some.

Gu Shi'an gradually became familiar with the reference room. When he asked Sister Du one time, he knew that Gu's side had another file room.Materials that have a relatively long period of time or are not used are stored there.

Almost no one would go to the archives, so there was no one there, and the door was always locked.The key was kept by Lao Zhou who used to be in the reference room. After Lao Zhou resigned, the key was not handed over to her. I don't know whose hands it is now.

Now she seldom talks about the company with Gu Shi'an, she just said a few words and brought them over.Gu Shi'an didn't dare to stare at and ask about this matter, so he could only put it aside and think of a solution when he had a chance.

This day, Sister Du went upstairs to deliver the materials and came back, she stopped Gu Shian who was going to make coffee, and said, "Don't leave after get off work. I just went up to Manager Dong and said that the company has a party tonight. Let everyone Let's all go together."

Most of the gatherings of the company's staff are at the end of the year.There are still several months before the Chinese New Year, and I haven't heard of any major events in the company, so why do you want to have a party all of a sudden?
Gu Shi'an was puzzled and asked, "Is it a departmental gathering?"

Sister Du murmured, "How do I know, it was called by the superiors."

She was probably unwilling to go, looking reluctant.After a pause, he went on to say: "I don't know what kind of madness it is, and suddenly let the party, I haven't had a party in hundreds of years."

What she said caught Gu Shian's attention. She made a curious look and asked, "Doesn't the company have a party at the end of the year?"

Sister Du curled her lips at this moment, and said, "What kind of party is there? Other company year-end parties receive year-end awards. I don't even know when there will be year-end awards."

Although Gu Shi'an is not popular, he is the Gu family after all.Her complaint was full of resentment and she didn't hide it at all. She probably wanted her to convey it to the people above.

After she finished speaking, she ignored Gu Shi'an and took the materials and released them.

Gu Shi'an stood there for a few seconds before going to make coffee.

There were only her and Sister Du in the reference room, and when it was time to get off work, someone came and asked them to let them go to a meeting place together.

Those who went were all unfamiliar faces, not many people.It should be a departmental party.I just don't know how they were called to the department party.

In the past, they carpooled there, but this time, no one isolated her. Seeing that she and Sister Du were together, they called her along when they got in the car.

The grade of the place I went to was quite high, and several colleagues talked about it.It should be a time when companies are rarely so willing.

The one who made the decision was the middle-aged man named Manager Dong, who led a group of people to KTV after eating.

Gu Shi'an knew almost no one other than Sister Du, and wanted to evade it, but the manager Dong said that it was rare to come out to play, and no one was allowed to leave early, and he would not return if he was not drunk.

Mostly because they were all together, they were afraid that they would not look good, but everyone did not treat Gu Shian coldly.Talk to her a few words from time to time, and then pour her a drink.

Gu Shi'an couldn't help but drink this wine, and drank several glasses in a row.Sister Du didn't know if she was drinking or something, so she insisted on dragging Gu Shi'an up to sing together.

After the singing ended, Gu Shi'an found that Manager Dong, who had been in charge of the hot spot, had disappeared.I don't know if I went to the bathroom or what.

Everyone obviously didn't realize it, and they still played their own games.

That Manager Dong came back not long after he went out.After ten o'clock, a colleague with a child at home proposed to leave.Manager Dong refused, saying that everyone had to go to work tomorrow, and there was a way to let everyone go together until 11:30.

11:30 is not too late, and the colleagues who were leaving had to sit back.

This manager Dong is a good dancer with a lot of jokes and jokes, and the private room is very lively.

He meant what he said, and at 11:30, he asked everyone to leave together.Colleagues who have cars bring colleagues who don't have cars, and those who don't have cars drop by to carpool together.

When they come, they all go to the same place, and they all sit and walk together.This time, when I go back, I will go back to each house. Those who have a car will leave first, leaving those who do not have a car to stop a taxi at the entrance of the KTV.

Right now, they are all going in couples with good relationships, and in the end, only Gu Shi'an is left.

That Manager Dong was also carpooling with others, and he told Gu Shi'an to be careful, and he also left with his colleagues.

Gu Shi'an was the only one left at the gate of the KTV soon, and all the cars that came up just now were stopped by the sidekicks.It's deserted here at the moment, and there are no cars coming.

She stood there for four or five minutes without seeing a car coming. She checked the time and was about to go to the intersection with heavy traffic ahead to stop the car.

Although it was not too late, there were very few pedestrians on the road.She couldn't help pulling the coat on her body, and walked forward quickly.

Before reaching the fork in the road, she noticed something was wrong.It looked like someone was following her.

She tried her best to act as if nothing had happened, and kept her pace neither fast nor slow.As long as you go to the front and stop the car, you can get rid of the people behind.

The people behind seemed to know what she was thinking, and even quickened their pace.This means that she will not be allowed to stop the car.

Gu Shi'an gritted his teeth, looked around, and ran to the bar ahead.

As soon as she ran like that, the people behind her immediately caught up.Fortunately, it was not far from the bar, and she slipped into the bar before those people chased them in.

At this time, the bar is lively and full of people.She didn't dare to look back, passed through the crowd, and walked directly to the bathroom.

She tried her best not to panic, and quickly hid in the bathroom.

The people behind were chasing after her very quickly, and she had only entered the bathroom when she heard noises outside.She clenched her fingers subconsciously.

The noise outside did not last long, and soon the footsteps faded away.

Gu Shian breathed a sigh of relief, and pressed his back tightly against the wall.She knew that if those people didn't find her elsewhere in the bar, they would definitely find her.She didn't dare to relax her nerves, so she took a deep breath and left the bathroom.

She could see the situation in the corridor from the door of the bathroom, so she didn't dare to go outside immediately.He looked outside in the bathroom, and waited for someone to come to the bathroom together, and then left with the cover of the person.

The person who was chasing her went to nowhere, and there was no figure in the corridor.Gu Shi'an didn't dare to go out from the gate, walked to a remote place, stopped a bar waiter and asked if there was a back door here.

The waiter gave her a suspicious look, but he didn't ask any more questions, and pointed her to the back door.

Gu Shi'an thanked him, and was about to walk towards the back door when he heard a voice shouting, "She's over there."

When she turned her head, two people wearing black baseball caps were squeezing towards her from the crowd.Gu Shi'an didn't expect to be discovered by them so quickly, he gritted his teeth, and quickly walked to the back door that the waiter said.

Those two were still in the crowd, buying her some time.The back door of the bar was a remote alley, and as soon as she got out of the bar, she almost ran away.

The two came out faster than she expected, and she turned into the alley on the left, and the two chased them out.While cursing from behind, he seemed to be calling for someone to come over.

Gu Shi'an was not familiar with this place, and was scurrying around like a headless chicken.She knew that the chances of being caught like this were high.But the people behind were chasing her so closely that she couldn't allow her to think too much.

The people the two called for should be nearby, Gu Shi'an had only gone around three or four alleys when he heard someone call to search around.

It seems that the other party has made comprehensive preparations.Her palms were sweating even more, she didn't dare to go that way, and went into another alley.

The alley here is dark, and someone built a simple shed with bricks on the side of the road to store sundries.

There were so many people on the other side, Gu Shi'an knew that if he ran around like that, he would be blocked sooner or later.She gritted her teeth and got into the inconspicuous shed next to her.

I don't know what was piled up in the shed, but there was a musty smell.As if she hadn't smelled it, she entered the place where the wood was piled in the corner.

Her choice to enter the shed was undoubtedly correct, and it didn't take long before she heard footsteps looking for her outside.

Footsteps came towards this side quickly, and her body was tense.Unconsciously, he held a wooden stick by his feet.

Probably because she knew that there would be now, her face was calm, but her nerves were tense.

During the period of entering Gu's, her life went too smoothly.It's smooth, but it doesn't mean it's a good thing.It means that the storm is still behind.

Those people cursed and didn't make noise, they searched the sheds on the side of the road with flashlights.The light of the flashlight quickly swept towards Gu Shi'an, and her hand holding the wooden stick was even tighter.

I thought that the person with the flashlight would come in soon, but at this moment, I heard someone shouting: "Everyone, come here, people are here."

The people who got to the shed almost immediately ran in the direction of the shout.Only then did Gu Shi'an realize that his forehead was already covered with sweat.

Just as she reached out to wipe the sweat off her forehead, she stood up and walked to the edge of the shed and was about to leave when there were footsteps coming towards her again.

This time the footsteps were not chaotic, as if there was only one person.

Gu Shi'an didn't expect that someone would come over, and immediately leaned into the darkness on the side.It's a pity that this time it didn't go well, I didn't know what I tripped under my feet, and there was a crisp bang.

The footsteps outside stopped.

Gu Shi'an subconsciously clenched the stick tightly, and pressed it tightly against the side.Since the other party stopped suddenly, it proved that she had been spotted.If she stood here any longer, and the other party called someone over, she could easily catch the turtle.

Therefore, she had to escape here before anyone came over.

As soon as this idea was settled in my mind, the footsteps came over.

Gu Shian pursed his lips tightly, staring at the shadow coming from the ground.The shadow gradually fell to her feet, she raised the stick and rushed out.He was about to slash at that person fiercely.

Before the stick was split, the person outside said in a deep voice, "It's me."

This voice was not who Chen Xiao was.

Gu Shi'an couldn't react for a while, but Chen Xiao quickly grabbed her and said, "Go this way."

He is obviously familiar here, and he almost avoided people a few times, but he narrowly avoided them.Finally, he took her around into a yard.

There was probably no one in the yard, and it was silent.Gu Shi'an's legs were already extremely weak, and he was holding on to prevent himself from slipping to the ground.

Chen Xiao didn't care about him, just leaned against the wall and listened to the movement outside.After listening for a few minutes, he turned his head to look at Gu Shi'an and asked, "Can I go?"

Gu Shi'an stood up straight and nodded.

The hair on her forehead was already drenched with sweat, and she looked very embarrassed.Chen Xiao frowned slightly, looked at the time with the faint light, and said in a low voice, "Let's rest here for a while."

Those people are still looking for them, and it would be dangerous to stay here for an extra minute.Gu Shi'an said, "It's okay, I can go."

Chen Xiao was obviously a little impatient, and said: "Why are there so many nonsense, if you are told to rest, you can rest."

Gu Shi'an stopped talking now, and she didn't hold back anymore, and simply sat on the ground leaning against the wall.

Chen Xiao leaned against the wall and listened to the movement outside for a while, seeing that no one was chasing him for the time being, she sat down beside Gu Shi'an.He took out a cigarette.

Gu Shi'an was silent all this time, seeing him sitting down, he asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

Chen Xiao didn't answer her words, just looked at her like that.After a while, he said lightly: "Is there someone who stipulates that I can't be here?"

After saying this, he stopped looking at Gu Shi'an and started smoking.

Gu Shi'an stopped talking now.

Chen Xiao wasn't the only one who came here, the people outside were probably distracted, and no one came over.

Chen Xiao quickly finished smoking a cigarette, snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the weeds beside him, then stood up and said, "Let's go."

He brought Gu Shi'an in through the gate, but this time he didn't take her out through the gate.Instead, they went around to the back and went out from the back of the yard.

There should be no one in the yard, and I didn't hear any movement inside the house.

After leaving the back door, there was a smaller alley. Chen Xiao looked out from the door, and then signaled Gu Shi'an to go.

He took Gu Shi'an around two alleys and arrived under a big locust tree.

A black, inconspicuous car had parked under the locust tree. Seeing the people in them, they immediately got out of the car, called Mr. Chen in a low voice, and opened the car door.

He had already made arrangements.

Gu Shi'an was slightly taken aback, but didn't say anything.

Chen Xiao ignored her, waited for her to get into the car by the side of the car, and then got into the car himself, and then told the driver in front to drive.

The driver drove the car very fast all the way, and then slowed down a bit until he got out of the alley and entered the main road.

Chen Xiao's face was serious, he took out a cigarette and lit it, and said to the people in front of him: "There are many people on the other side, let them all withdraw."

The driver in front said hello and immediately made a phone call.

The people over there didn't know what they said. The driver hung up the phone and said in a low voice: "They have all withdrawn."

Chen Xiao stopped talking now.

The driver in front hesitated slightly, and asked, "Mr. Chen, should we go back to the company or..."

Chen Xiao glanced at Gu Shi'an lightly and said, "Go home."

The driver said yes.

When he said going home, he naturally meant going back to the new house.Gu Shi'an was silent for a while, and said, "Put me in front..."

She was interrupted by Chen Xiao before she finished speaking. He glanced at her, sneered, and said, "You think they will let it go if they don't catch you tonight? Are you planning to go back and throw yourself into the trap?"

His tone was cold.He just looked at Gu Shi'an so coldly.

Gu Shian lowered his head and did not speak again.

It was late at night, there was no traffic jam along the way, and the car was driving very fast.It took less than an hour to drive into the community.

The car had just stopped when the driver's phone rang.He picked it up and picked it up.

He hung up the phone not long after, and said to Chen Xiao with a sigh of relief: "Mr. Chen, everyone has already withdrawn."

Chen Xiao nodded.When he got out of the car, he said to Gu Shi'an, "Go to the elevator and wait for me."

This meant that he still had something to say to the driver, but Gu Shi'an walked towards the elevator without saying a word.

As soon as she walked to the elevator, Chen Xiao walked over with big strides.He reached out and pressed the elevator before her.

The two of them didn't speak all the way, and he didn't ask anything.After opening the door and entering the room, he said to Gu Shi'an, "Go change and take a shower." After a pause, he swept Gu Shi'an's clothes, and then said, "Take off your coat."

Gu Shi'an didn't realize it for a while, but when he realized it and pressed the coat on his body, he found that some dark things had rubbed against the arms of the clothes.It should have happened while hiding in the shed.

Without saying a word, she took off her coat.

Chen Xiao had already walked out of the restaurant to pour water, turned around and saw Gu Shian took off his coat, and said, "Throw it in the trash can."

Gu Shi'an didn't know what he meant, and looked up at him.

Chen Xiao poured a glass of water slowly, then looked at Gu Shi'an, and asked, "Do you know where the alley you ran through just now is?"

He didn't know what he was trying to sell.After a pause, he continued with a half-smile, "Coffin Lane. The shed where you hide is where the coffins are made. Here, didn't you notice that lacquer on your sleeve?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Shi'an's dark sleeves again.

Now Gu Shi'an didn't wait for him to say another sentence, and threw the clothes into the trash can.

After Chen Xiao finished drinking a glass of water, he poured a glass for Gu Shi'an by the way.Then went to the bathroom to drain the water.

He went to the bathroom, and the living room was even quieter.He probably doesn't come back often, it's deserted, and he doesn't see any sundries.

Gu Shi'an lost his mind a little bit, then he came back to his senses and drank water.

Chen Xiao came out of the bathroom not long after, and seeing Gu Shi'an still standing, said, "The clothes are in the closet, go take a shower."

After he finished speaking, he didn't care about Gu Shi'an anymore, and went directly to the study.

Gu Shi'an paused for a while, then went to the bedroom, opened the closet to get clothes.Her clothes are all neatly folded, just as they were when she was there.

She took a set of pajamas and went to take a shower.

She was so tired that she hardly wanted to move under the hot water.Her legs were aching, she closed her eyes and leaned against the wall.

It wasn't her home any more.She cheered up quickly, washed and changed her clothes and went out.

Chen Xiao had already come out of the study at this moment, and when he saw her, he threw a dry towel to her and said, "Dry your hair."

After being chased for a while, he was obviously in a mess, not much better than Gu Shi'an.Throwing the towel to her, he took the pajamas and went to the bathroom.

His movements were much faster than Gu Shi'an's. She just dried her hair before he opened the bathroom door and came out.

Gu Shi'an didn't look at him, but he sat down on the sofa.He took the towel she had wiped and wiped her hair, glanced at her, and said, "Are you still going to work at Gu's?"

His tone was calm and not sarcastic.

Gu Shi'an did not speak.

Chen Xiao paused, and then said coldly: "I warned you earlier, that Qin man is not a good person. He encouraged you to join the Gu family, where is he now?"

The more Chen Xiao spoke, the colder his voice became.No one in the Gu family was worried. Ever since he knew that Gu Shi'an had joined the Gu family, he knew that something would happen sooner or later.From time to time, he is paying attention to her.

It's also fortunate that he has an extra mind, otherwise, I don't know how things will turn out.The other party had already prepared for it. More than a dozen people came, and they were all unfamiliar faces. They should have been invited from other places.
