First spoiled, then love

Chapter 492: Survival in the Sea of ​​Fire (11000)

"What are you looking for?" Tang Xiaoru asked when she saw him looking around.

Chen Qingrong didn't want her to worry, so he just made up an excuse and said, "It's nothing. I just suddenly felt a little cold, as if there was air leaking everywhere."

Tang Xiaoru was amused. "This is a parking lot, big brother. Isn't it normal to have ventilation? Okay, let's get in the car first and stop being so superstitious."

"Ah."

Although he agreed verbally, Chen Qingrong's vigilance did not diminish at all.

The flash just now was definitely not his illusion. Moreover, since he could be seen in the flash, it meant that the person taking the photo was not far away from them, but Chen Qingrong couldn't find him.

He is now very confused, who on earth wants to take pictures of him and Tang Xiaoru?

They are not celebrities.

There is weirdness.

After thinking about it carefully, Chen Qingrong could only put this question in his mind for the time being and drove Tang Xiaoru away from the company.

Instead of going home directly, they planned to visit Yang Bingbing.

Yang Bingbing's belly is getting bigger day by day. Although Dr. Yan no longer goes to the hospital and stays at home with her, the more Yang Bingbing sees him at home, the more unhappy she feels. Once Dr. Yan is not at home, she can't help but call to call Dr. Yan back. The last time she saw him, Chen Qingrong found that he had lost a lot of weight.

It was really tortured.

So Dr. Yan also asked Tang Xiaoru and others to accompany Yang Bingbing when they have time, which would also relieve some of his stress.

So Tang Xiaoru planned to go over and accompany Yang Bingbing this time.

She and Chen Qingrong first arrived at a supermarket. After parking the car, the two went into the supermarket to buy some fruits to bring to Yang Bingbing.

"Let's buy some more cherries. Bingbing likes to eat them. Honey, do you think three boxes are enough?"

Tang Xiaoru immediately took a fancy to the cherries in the gift box and turned around to ask Chen Qingrong.

Chen Qingrong's mouth twitched, and he complained weakly, "Three boxes? Do you want to eat Yang Bingbing to death? There's no need to buy so much, just buy one box, and buy more after you finish eating. This stuff spoils easily."

"I thought the weather was cool now."

Tang Xiaoru pouted, but still obediently took one box and put it in the cart that Chen Qingrong was carrying.

The two of them went to the toy area again, and Chen Qingrong squatted down and took a magic wand.

"Buy one of these for Yang Bingbing's future child. This is Tiga's transformation prop. Her child will definitely like it."

"Bingbing is a daughter. How can a little girl like Ultraman?" Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes and exposed him immediately. "I think you want to play? Humph."

Chen Qingrong smiled awkwardly, "Ha, well, I do want to play. After all, which boy can resist the temptation of Tiga?"

At this point, he suddenly paused, "No, how do you know she's pregnant with a daughter?"

Tang Xiaoru looked around and whispered to Chen Qingrong, "Bingbing's mother asked a doctor friend to check it out. Bingbing also told me about it when we were chatting on WeChat a few days ago. After she found out it was a daughter, she was happy for a long time."

Chen Qingrong was a little surprised. "Aren't doctors not allowed to reveal the gender of the baby now? Is this against the law?"

Tang Xiaoru was both angry and amused, "It's not that exaggerated. It's true that it's not allowed on the surface, but some doctors will hint at it when new parents ask about it. Okay, don't take it that seriously."

"Murder and robbery are both illegal, but aren't there still people who do them?"

"Uh, your analogy sounds weird to me." Chen Qingrong pouted and said, "Anyway, now that you know it, you know it. It has nothing to do with me. What about Lao Yan? Are you satisfied with this result?"

Tang Xiaoru said, "According to what Bingbing said, after learning that it was a daughter, Dr. Yan was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night, because compared to a son, he personally likes a daughter more."

"pretty good."

Chen Qingrong smiled.

Tang Xiaoru added, "Put the purple mood in your hand in there, and I'll buy it for you."

"This is the magic stick..." Chen Qingrong was a little annoyed when he heard Tang Xiaoru humiliating the magic stick in this way.

Tang Xiaoru snorted, "If you talk back to me again, I won't let you buy it."

Chen Qingrong's mouth twitched, and he immediately revealed a servile smile, "Ha, actually I think the name Purple Mood is more suitable for it, honey, you are right."

"good."

Tang Xiaoru nodded with satisfaction, then reached out and rubbed Chen Qingrong's hair like she was petting a dog.

Chen Qingrong could only accept her humiliation with grievance.

When turning the corner, Chen Qingrong unexpectedly saw Gao Qiang and his girlfriend Miao Su. They were also pushing a cart to buy things, and there were already several bottles of drinks and beef in the cart.

"Gao Qiang?"

"Lao Chen? Sister-in-law? Why are you here?"

Gao Qiang also seemed surprised.

Chen Qingrong said casually, "We were just on our way to a friend's house, so we stopped by here to buy some gifts. What about you two?"

Gao Qiang smiled and took Miao Su's hand, "Su Su's home is nearby. I came here with her to buy some food and cook."

"Oh." Chen Qingrong smiled ambiguously, "You two are already living together? Have you met your parents?"

"We're not living together, we're very honest." Gao Qiang said stubbornly.

Chen Qingrong thought to himself, can't I tell whether you are living together or not?
The last time I went to your house, Miao Su was exposed, and she is still pretending.

Miao Su asked tentatively at this time, "Brother Chen, Sister Xiaoru, do you want to come to my house and sit down?"

Tang Xiaoru chuckled and said, "Next time, we are going to a friend's place tonight."

"Okay then, if you want to come next time, let Aqiang bring you."

"A Qiang? Yo yo yo, this name is so corny~" Chen Qingrong smiled playfully, in a very mean way.

Miao Su blushed and looked down at her shoes.

Before they parted, Chen Qingrong even whispered to Gao Qiang, "If you buy an umbrella, remember to buy a better brand. Don't be too stingy with this thing."

Gao Qiang's face turned red. "Old Chen, you misunderstood. Susu and I are innocent. We agreed to do that after we get married."

Chen Qingrong rolled his eyes immediately. "Agreements are agreements, but the actual situation is the actual situation. I don't believe that there won't be any accidental shootings between the two of you. If you don't prepare an umbrella in advance, I'll see what you'll do when the time comes."

Gao Qiang paused, somewhat tempted, but also a little hesitant, "But if I buy it now, will Susu think I have bad intentions?"

"It's up to you. I'm just giving you some advice. Don't buy cheap stuff."

"Oh."

Gao Qiang seemed to be thinking about something.

After Chen Qingrong and his friends bought the things, they went to Yang Bingbing's house.

When I arrived at her house, I found that Yang Bingbing was the only one there.

"Xiao Ru, brother-in-law, you are here. Why are you buying so many things? You have money but nowhere to spend it, right?" Yang Bingbing felt both disgusted and happy.

Tang Xiaoru smiled and said, "It's not particularly expensive, and these fruits are nutritious. Even if you don't need to supplement, your daughter does, right?"

"By the way, where are your husband and his family? Why are you home alone?"

"When you sent me a WeChat message saying you were coming, they left home without any worries and said they were going to find a fortune teller to choose a name for my daughter."

"Ah? Isn't it up to you two to decide on naming? Why do you need a fortune teller?"

Tang Xiaoru looked very strange.

Yang Bingbing spread her hands helplessly, "We also want to make a decision, but the problem is that we are very conflicted now. I want to give my daughter a more ancient name, such as Yan Nishang, Yan Suyi, etc., but my husband and my parents don't think it sounds good. And what about my husband and his family? They gave them names like Yan Tingting and Yan Yuru, which I think are very old-fashioned."

"Later, we decided to let a fortune teller use my and my husband's birth dates to calculate the eight characters, so that I can choose a few more. After all, as a mother, I still have a veto power."

"I like the name Yan Yuru." Chen Qingrong interjected, "It's the same as our Xiaoru, both have "Ru" in them, it sounds like a good name."

Yang Bingbing curled her lips, "What's the big deal if you like it? The child is not yours."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Chen Qingrong was startled. "Don't say that casually. If someone else hears it, it's easy to misunderstand."

Yang Bingbing said proudly, "Don't worry, brother-in-law. Even if I, Yang Bingbing, really do something as dirty as cheating on my partner one day, I will never be with you. The possibility of me and Xiaoru being together is higher than that of you."

Chen Qingrong's face darkened, "You are indeed a zero."

"I'm the top, Zero your sister!" Yang Bingbing snorted twice again.

The three of them sat down and chatted casually.

They were going to have dinner at Yang Bingbing's house tonight, so they were not in a hurry to go back.

At around seven o'clock, Yan Mo and the others came back. They greeted Chen Qingrong and the others first, and then quickly got a glass of water to drink.

Yang Bingbing asked, "Where are my parents?"

Yan Mo said casually, "I came back first. They still need to go buy some things and will be back later. Are you hungry? I'll cook something for you now. Lao Chen, come and help me."

"Don't worry about eating yet." Yang Bingbing stopped him and asked, "Have you settled the name issue?"

Yan Mo smiled and took out a piece of yellow paper from his pocket and handed it to her. "I knew you would ask. The name has been chosen. I asked a famous master in Magic City to choose it. The master gave us two names to choose from."

"Let me see." Yang Bingbing took it and looked at it with some disgust. "Yan Xinli, Yan Mengwan... Well, these two names are so ugly, especially the first one. It means hard work and hard labor. Doesn't this foreshadow that our precious daughter will have a bad fate in the future? I don't want it."

Yan Mo sighed, "You're not satisfied at all? In fact, my parents and I think the second name sounds better."

"Are you talking about Yan Mengwan?" Yang Bingbing smacked her lips and looked at Tang Xiaoru, "Xiaoru, do you think this second name sounds good?"

Tang Xiaoru smiled helplessly, "This is a matter for you two to decide, why are you asking me?"

"I want to ask for your opinion. After all, you are my daughter's godmother. Tell me quickly."

"Well, from the perspective of how catchy the name is, I personally think it's quite nice. Yan Mengwan, it's quite catchy."

Tang Xiaoru expressed her thoughts.

Chen Qingrong added, "Actually, I also think the name Yan Mengwan sounds better, but it doesn't seem to go well with the surname Yan."

Snapped.

Yang Bingbing snapped her fingers. "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you really hit the nail on the head this time. The name Mengwan is not bad, but it doesn't match our family name, Old Yan. Well, what do you think of using my last name instead?"

"Yang Mengwan?" Yan Mo thought for a moment and said with a smile, "It sounds nice, let's call her that."

"Then the child will have my last name?"

"It's fine if I take your surname. After all, the child is a life conceived by both of us. It doesn't matter whose surname he takes. Besides, the child's name should be nice. Yang is indeed more suitable than Yan."

Yan Mo said this sincerely.

Yang Bingbing shook her head helplessly. "I am very touched by your kindness, but if you really take my last name, your parents will definitely be unhappy. After all, you are the only son of the Yan family. Think of other names. The child should take your last name. If we have a second child in the future, then take my last name."

In fact, she doesn't care about the child's right to give her surname, but the problem is that the thinking of the older generation is difficult to correct.

The surname a child takes represents the family line he will carry on. The Yan family finally has an offspring. If the surname is Yang, even if Yan Mo's parents don't say anything, they will definitely be unhappy in their hearts.

The old couple still love Yang Bingbing very much, and Yang Bingbing doesn't want to make everyone unhappy because of such a small matter. It's not worth it.

After having dinner at Yan's house in the evening, Chen Qingrong and his companions drove home.

Because Yang Bingbing, a pregnant woman, was present, no one drank during the entire dinner.

Even Yang Bingbing's father, an old alcoholic, was willing to quit drinking for his daughter. If you think about it carefully, it's quite remarkable.

back home.

The young couple took a bath together comfortably, and did something bad while taking a bath comfortably.

By the time Tang Xiaoru was carried to the big bed in the bedroom by Chen Qingrong, her whole body was limp.

"Sometimes I really hope you die early." Tang Xiaoru said tiredly and seriously.

Chen Qingrong was speechless. "That being said, if I really thank you sooner, you will be unhappy again."

Tang Xiaoru giggled and said, "That's not necessarily true. You can't keep your current strength forever. When you're in your forties, you'll definitely be done for. See if I'll be happy by then. I promise I won't despise you."

"Then I hope you keep your word."

Chen Qingrong also crawled into the quilt and lay down.

Tang Xiaoru took the phone from the bedside table again and asked, "Your mother's birthday is next month, what gift are you going to give her?"

Chen Qingrong was shocked. "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten about it. But, how did you know that my mother's birthday is next month?"

"I've seen your mother's ID card before. My memory is pretty good." Tang Xiaoru poked her temple with her finger while speaking, and then asked, "What birthday gifts did you buy for your mother before?"

Chen Qingrong recalled, "Actually, my mother doesn't like me buying her birthday presents. She thinks it's too expensive. So every time I asked her for something, she said no. I just gave her red envelopes or bought her clothes."

Tang Xiaoru was speechless. "If you had asked her in advance, she would have definitely said no, idiot. If you really had filial piety, you should have bought it for her directly. In this way, she would have gotten it and wouldn't have said no."

"How about this, let me buy your mother's gift today, and you don't have to be an official anymore. We will go back and celebrate for her later."

After a pause, she continued, "How about bringing them here to celebrate together? My parents can also join us, but isn't that a bit too much trouble?"

Chen Qingrong said, "Let's talk about it later, but what birthday gift are you going to buy for my mother?"

Tang Xiaoru winked playfully, "Want to know? Hey, I won't tell you."

"Stingy Tang Xiaoru."

The next day I arrived at the company and started to get busy again.

Although Jin Feng did not come, Liu Dabin's assistant Nana sent a WeChat message to Tang Xiaoru.

"Boss Tang, are you free tonight? Our boss wants to talk to you alone. Bow to him."

"Yes, yes. How about this? I'll treat Mr. Liu to a meal at the Moon Over the Sea. Is that okay with you?"

"Let me ask our boss. Wait a moment."

A few minutes later, Nana sent another message, "The boss said it's OK, let's set the time at 8:30 tonight?"

Tang Xiaoru, "Ok, see you then."

Nana, "OK."

After Tang Xiaoru finished the conversation, she called the restaurant and booked a private room in advance.

She was very excited.

I didn't expect Liu Dabin to ask them to meet alone so soon. It seems that business is coming to him. This is a good thing, really a good thing.

Just then Chen Qingrong pushed the door open and came in, "Wife, I just got some bad news."

Tang Xiaoru looked at him with a serious expression, "What's wrong?"

Chen Qingrong closed the door and came to her. "Mr. Bai's niece sent me a WeChat message saying that Mr. Bai was beaten up."

"Ah?" Tang Xiaoru was shocked. "Why would he be beaten for no reason? Is the situation serious?"

"According to Mr. Bai's niece, Mr. Bai had a conflict with a notorious guy in the town because of the expansion of his farm. The guy hired thugs to smash his farm and beat Mr. Bai until his head was bleeding. Mr. Bai has been sent to the town's hospital. His condition is a bit serious. The most troublesome thing is that those thugs ran away after beating him. Although the police have filed a case, it may be difficult to catch the perpetrators."

"It's really abominable. How can there still be such vicious people in a society ruled by law?" Tang Xiaoru slammed the table angrily and stood up, asking, "Don't you know who the mastermind is? Let the police catch him."

Chen Qingrong smiled helplessly, "This is the more troublesome part, because the so-called mastermind is all the inferences of Mr. Bai's niece, and there is no direct clue pointing to that person. What crime will the police arrest him for?"

"Unless we can catch those hooligans and get some clues from them, we won't be able to catch that bastard."

"This..." Tang Xiaoru gritted her teeth and said immediately, "Let's go to the town hospital to see Mr. Bai. Mr. Bai has a good relationship with us. Now that he is in trouble, we can't just ignore him."

"It's not even eleven in the morning yet. We can make it to the dinner party in the evening."

"What's the dinner party tonight?"

"I was just about to tell you that Boss Liu wants to invite us to dinner alone. I've already booked a table at the Moon Over the Sea."

"I see." Chen Qingrong understood and asked tentatively, "How about we go tomorrow?"

Tang Xiaoru shook her head. "We already know about this. If we delay until tomorrow, it will seem that we don't care about Mr. Bai. Let's go today."

"Well, fine. As long as you don't mind the hard work, I can do it."

"It's nothing to do, let's go."

Before leaving, Tang Xiaoru gave some instructions to several senior executives of the company, and then drove with Chen Qingrong to visit Grandpa Bai. After arriving in the town, they bought some fruits and milk for Grandpa Bai, but when they found Grandpa Bai, he was making a fuss about being discharged from the hospital.

"Mr. Bai, we are here to see you."

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Tang? Why are you here?" Grandpa Bai's head was wrapped up. After a moment of stunned silence, he looked at his niece and said angrily, "Dayan, it was you who told Xiao Tang and the others about the beating I got? Why are you so nosy? Why did they have to trouble them to come here in person for such a matter? You are such a fool!"

Tang Xiaoru said quickly, "Uncle Bai, you can't blame Aunt Dayan for this. I was worried about you and called you but you didn't answer, so I called Aunt Dayan to ask. Besides, you are injured now, so Chen Qingrong and I will definitely come to see you."

Mr. Bai shook his head vigorously and said stubbornly, "I'm really fine. I'm still waiting to go back to see my animals. I can't waste time in the hospital."

"How can this be a waste of time?" Chen Qingrong quickly came to him, held his shoulder, and said earnestly, "Your head is broken, what you need now is rest. As for the loss of the farm, let's talk about it after you recover from your injury."

"I……"

"Besides, you were beaten up, don't you want to take revenge? You can't let the person who beat you go unpunished."

"I want to, too, but the problem is, I heard from the police that the people who beat me have already run away and it's hard to catch them." Grandpa Bai shook his head helplessly.

Chen Qingrong asked tentatively, "Isn't there a mastermind?"

Mr. Bai was stunned, looked up at him, and then pursed his lips, "You are talking about Qian Feng, right? Yes, I had a big fight with him, but there is no evidence to prove that those people were sent by him. Even if I want to make trouble for him, the police can't help me arrest him."

"Who are you looking for trouble with?"

Just as Mr. Bai finished speaking, a teasing male voice suddenly sounded outside the door. Then Chen Qingrong turned around and saw a man wearing a big gold chain and a small gold watch walking in with flowers in his arms. Behind him followed a burly man holding a fruit basket.

"Qian Feng? Why are you here!" When Dayan saw this man appear, he screamed.

That’s right, the person who came was Qian Feng, who had a grudge with Mr. Bai.

Qian Feng said lazily, "Uncle Bai was beaten, isn't it normal for me to come over to take a look? After all, we are all from the same village, and I am not a heartless person. Some people nowadays are really beastly. Uncle Bai is so old, but they can still do that to him. They really deserve to die."

"Besides, many people know that Uncle Bai and I had a big fight a few days ago. If I don't prove my innocence, what will you do if you doubt me?"

Dayan asked, "Where were you from last night to this morning?"

Qian Feng chuckled, "I went to the downtown area of ​​Shanghai. My friend in Shanghai can testify to this. I stayed at his place for the night, and when I came back, I heard about this incident, so I hurried to visit Uncle Bai. Look, I have already reported it to the police."

After that, he came to the bed with the flowers in his arms and said seriously, "Uncle Bai, I'm sorry to hear that this happened. You can get treatment without worry. If the medical expenses are not enough, I will pay for it. I often ate the candies you gave me when I was a child. I am not the kind of person who forgets my roots."

Mr. Bai said coldly, "No need. My daughter should be home today. She will pay for my medical expenses. We are not familiar with each other, so I won't take your money."

Qian Feng shook his head helplessly. "Alas, I know you misunderstood me, Uncle Bai. Although we had a conflict over the land, I still respect you, Uncle Bai. I'll leave these flowers and fruit baskets here for you. I know you don't like me, so I'll leave first. Bye."

After putting down his things, Qian Feng left with his bodyguards.

Come quickly and go quickly.

Dayan finally dared to curse, "Bah, what a hypocrite! He is definitely involved in this matter!"

"Alright." Mr. Bai said sternly, "Stop talking. We still don't have any evidence no matter what you say. You better watch your mouth. Otherwise, if he hears this, he might cause trouble for you."

"I'm not afraid." The wild goose seemed very stubborn.

Grandpa Bai sighed helplessly and looked at Chen Qingrong and the others. "Xiao Chen, Xiao Tang, although I really want to be discharged from the hospital, my head feels dizzy now and it is really inconvenient for me to get out of bed. Could you please go to my farm to see how it is going? I am more worried about that place."

Tang Xiaoru agreed immediately, "Okay, no problem, leave it to us."

"Well, thank you both for your hard work."

The young couple left as soon as they said they would, without wasting any time, and drove to Uncle Bai's new farm.

His previous dilapidated farm was demolished after all the poultry were moved to the new farm. Now it is covered with a greenhouse where various vegetables are grown.

This new breeding farm is very modern, but it was badly damaged this time. The doors were smashed and the doors of several pig pens were pried open. When Chen Qingrong and his team arrived, there were quite a few piglets running around inside.

But fortunately, this time the evil guys launched a surprise attack, and only Mr. Bai was at the farm, with no one else at all. Otherwise, there would have been more people hospitalized this time.

"Oh, hehe~"

Chen Qingrong began to drive the pigs skillfully, and he seemed to be shouting something.

What seemed magical to Tang Xiaoru was that when Chen Qingrong was shouting, the little piglets gathered together automatically and were driven into the pigsty by Chen Qingrong.

Click.

Chen Qingrong closed the iron door tightly.

Tang Xiaoru asked curiously, "Husband, what kind of spell were you chanting just now? How did you make those piglets obey you in an instant?"

Chen Qingrong smiled and shook his head. "It's not a spell. It's just what I used to yell when I was helping my parents chant chickens and ducks when I was a kid. It's normal that you didn't grow up in the countryside and haven't heard it. Anyone who comes from the countryside will basically know the same thing."

"Oh, did your family raise pigs when you were a child?"

"Not really, but my family raised cattle when we were young." Chen Qingrong paused here and looked at Tang Xiaoru, "How true do you think Qian Feng's words today are? I always feel that he is a hypocritical person."

Tang Xiaoru smiled helplessly, "How dare I say that? But judging from the reactions of Aunt Dayan and Mr. Bai when he arrived, they both hated Qian Feng. I think he must have something to do with it."

"Yes." Chen Qingrong narrowed his eyes and analyzed, "Why didn't he go to the downtown area of ​​Magic City earlier or later? Why did he go to the downtown area before this incident happened? This is too deliberate. It feels like he was deliberately creating an alibi for himself."

Tang Xiaoru shook her head and said, "It's not our job to solve the case. Let's leave it to the police. If Qian Feng really did it, the police will definitely give Mr. Bai justice."

"Ah."

Chen Qingrong said nothing more.

This time he was determined not to get involved in investigating the truth. After all, what happened to Uncle Zhang last time was still fresh in his mind. His mentality was much more stable now. Even if not for himself, he would consider Tang Xiaoru more.

When they returned to the hospital in the afternoon, Mr. Bai's daughter, son-in-law and grandson had all returned.

Since Grandpa Bai has his daughter and family to take care of him, Chen Qingrong and his family naturally don't need to stay. After telling Grandpa Bai about the current situation of his family's breeding farm, the couple drove back to the city.

"Phew, the air outside is still fresher, much better than the air in the city. If I didn't have to go back, I really wouldn't want to go back."

Tang Xiaoru opened the passenger window, felt the breeze, squinted her eyes comfortably and sighed.

Chen Qingrong smiled and said, "Just like you arranged before, when we are older and our children grow up, we can go back to live in the mountains, or buy a house by the Erhai Lake in Yunnan, how free and easy it is."

Tang Xiaoru said quietly, "I just don't know how many more years I have to wait. Actually, Chen Qingrong, sometimes I envy those elderly people."

"You envy the elderly? On the contrary, Tian Gang, do you know how many elderly people envy the young?"

"Each has its own merits. Especially every time I pass by a park, I see some old men and women listening to operas, singing songs, and practicing Tai Chi. They are carefree. Don't you think their lives are very comfortable? They don't have to worry about anything. They just need to wait for death to come."

"Well, now that you put it that way, does that mean there are no advantages to being young?"

"Being young has its advantages. You are full of energy and the future is full of infinite possibilities. But being young is too tiring. You have to fight for this and that, especially in the current competitive environment. I don't know if I can live to enjoy my old age."

Chen Qingrong fell silent.

After a long while, he said something shocking, "After hearing what you said, I really don't have any expectations for the future anymore. Why don't we just commit suicide together? How about going to Zhangjiajie to commit suicide together? It has beautiful scenery and is a good place to commit suicide together."

Tang Xiaoru was both angry and amused, "I'm just expressing my feelings. It's not like I'm tired of living. I'm dying for your love, you big-headed ghost."

It was already past five in the evening when we returned to the city. In fact, there was no need to go to the company anymore, but Tang Xiaoru suddenly remembered that there were still some documents that had not been taken down, so she asked Chen Qingrong to drive the car to outside the company building and wait.

"I'll just go in and get it, you wait here." Tang Xiaoru instructed him.

Chen Qingrong was puzzled, "Shouldn't I go up with you?"

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes charmingly, "I'll just go upstairs to get some documents and be back soon. It won't take more than a few minutes. It's too much trouble for you to get out of the car and follow me upstairs. Just wait for me in the car."

"Ok."

Chen Qingrong didn't insist anymore.

Anyway, he was waiting downstairs, and Tang Xiaoru wouldn't be away for too long.

Ten minutes later, Chen Qingrong received a WeChat message from Tang Xiaoru.

"I have something else to do. You should go home first. I'll come home to see you later."

Chen Qingrong was a little confused. "What's the matter? I'm waiting for you downstairs. Why don't you come with me?"

Tang Xiaoru, "Dear, don't ask so many questions. Go home first. I will contact you in the evening."

Chen Qingrong, "Sweating, okay, then you should be careful."

Tang Xiaoru didn't reply again.

Chen Qingrong didn't think too much about it and drove back home.

Because Tang Xiaoru hadn't come back yet, Chen Qingrong had a lot of energy but nowhere to vent it, so he washed the clothes and mopped the floor thoroughly.

After finishing all these, he returned to his room and wrote a novel for an hour. When he looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

However, Tang Xiaoru still didn't come back.

Chen Qingrong suddenly felt something was wrong.

Tang Xiaoru was going to meet Liu Dabin for dinner at 8:30 tonight. She takes this matter very seriously. Why hasn't she come back yet?

Chen Qingrong picked up his phone to call Tang Xiaoru, but unexpectedly Tang Xiaoru sent him a WeChat message first.

"Honey, please pick me up here in the basement on the third floor of a certain department store. I can't get a taxi."

"Why did you go there? And don't you have to meet Boss Liu tonight? I'm afraid we're too late?"

"It's still in time. The most important thing is that I came here to buy some things, which delayed me a little. You can come and pick me up first, and then we can go directly to Boss Liu~"

"Okay, I'll go over now."

Chen Qingrong always felt something was strange, but he also felt that Tang Xiaoru should not lie to him.

So he drove to the department store that Tang Xiaoru mentioned.

This department store has gone bankrupt and the front entrance is inaccessible, but there is a whole prosperous street behind it. When Chen Qingrong came over, he saw that the back door was open.

He looked around but couldn't find any trace of Tang Xiaoru. He couldn't help but call her.

Dudu~
The line is busy.

Chen Qingrong leaned half of his body into the back door. It was pitch dark inside and he couldn't see his hand in front of him.

But at this moment, he seemed to hear Tang Xiaoru's cell phone ringing from below.

Chen Qingrong thought he had misheard at first, but as he walked down tentatively, the ringing sound got closer and closer to him.

Is Xiaoru in here?

Chen Qingrong walked carefully to the basement, the second floor, and when he reached the third floor stairs, the ringing of his cell phone was already very close.

Chen Qingrong stepped onto the floor below and looked inside following the sound. After pushing open a door in front of him, he discovered that there was a very small room inside. The floor was filled with cardboard boxes. The cell phone ringtone came from here, but he couldn't see Tang Xiaoru.

"Wife? Wife?"

Chen Qingrong called out twice tentatively.

At this moment, the door behind him suddenly creaked. Chen Qingrong turned around subconsciously, and a wooden stick hit him in the face.

boom!
"Uh-huh!"

Chen Qingrong screamed, felt dizzy, and then he lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud.

His forehead felt a little hot, and blood flowed into his eyes, making his vision a little blurry.

In a daze, he saw that the person who attacked him was a not very big man, wearing a mask and holding a wooden stick in his hand. Then he quickly retreated and slammed the iron gate shut.

Damn it, who is it?
Chen Qingrong pressed his forehead and forced himself to stay awake.

It doesn’t matter who it is now, what matters is that he fell into the enemy’s trap.

What about Xiaoru?

Chen Qingrong stood up with his hands on the ground and looked inside again. He found Tang Xiaoru lying on the ground behind a pile of boxes. Her cell phone fell to her right hand side.

"Wife, wife, what's wrong with you? Wake up, don't scare me!"

Chen Qingrong quickly knelt beside her and held her in his arms. After shaking her body vigorously a few times, Tang Xiaoru finally opened her eyes in a daze.

"Chen Qingrong? Where am I? Why is your forehead bleeding?" Tang Xiaoru was frightened. She woke up with a start, her eyes full of heartache.

Chen Qingrong tried hard to force a smile, "I, I'm fine, as long as you're okay, I'm really scared."

"Did anyone hit you?"

"I don't know who he is either."

Chen Qingrong shook his head and told Tang Xiaoru what had happened.

Tang Xiaoru said coldly, "I didn't send you those messages! When I was going upstairs today, someone suddenly covered my mouth from behind, and then I knew nothing. I never sent you those messages at all!"

Chen Qingrong said, "I already know that those messages were not sent by you. I was wondering why you came here for no reason. Now I finally realize that this was a scam from the beginning to the end."

"The bad guy knocked you unconscious first, then used your phone to send me a WeChat message to get me out, then tricked me here at night, and then attacked me."

"But what is his purpose in doing this? Is it just to lock us up together?"

"Hey, wait!"

Before Chen Qingrong finished speaking, he suddenly smelled a burnt smell.

"Fire, there's a fire somewhere!"

Chen Qingrong's face changed drastically. He quickly pulled Tang Xiaoru to the back of the iron gate. He looked through the crack in the door and found that something was burning outside. The fire was spreading very quickly and was about to get in!

Sea of ​​fire!

These two words suddenly popped up in Chen Qingrong's mind. He thought of that damn spoiler, but he didn't expect it to come so soon!

"Wife, use my phone to call the police. I'll take off my clothes and put out the fire at the crack in the door. Our room is full of cardboard boxes. If the fire gets in, we'll both be finished!"

As Chen Qingrong spoke, he took out his cell phone and handed it to Tang Xiaoru. At the same time, he took off his coat and fanned the fire in the door.

As long as the force is strong enough, it will be enough to put out the fire outside.

Of course, this is only limited to when there is a small fire outside. If it is already a big fire, it will be useless.

Tang Xiaoru suddenly shouted anxiously, "No signal!"

"No signal?" Chen Qingrong was stunned and stopped moving. "I was able to call you just now, why is there no signal now?"

Just as he was stunned, the flame under the door ignited his coat, and then with a bang, the flames rushed in all at once.

"Ah, Chen Qingrong, fire, fire is coming in!"

"What? Damn it!"

Chen Qingrong was startled and quickly threw the clothes under his feet and stomped them hard to put them out, while at the same time pushing the cardboard box closest to the door hard inside.

Unfortunately, they were still a step too slow. After the flame ignited the first cardboard box, it jumped onto the other cardboard boxes like a fire snake. All the cardboard boxes in the room were ignited, and Chen Qingrong and the others were completely surrounded by flames.

"what!"

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid."

Chen Qingrong forced himself to calm down, hugged Tang Xiaoru and backed away. There was a wall behind them, and there were no cardboard boxes on both sides of the wall, so the flames could not burn here for the time being. However, the front of them was blocked by the flames, and there was no way to cross over.

"What should we do, husband? What should we do?" Tang Xiaoru was completely panicked at this time, even a little timid, "We are not going to die here, are we?"

Chen Qingrong comforted her, "No, no, this is a building after all. Although it is underground now, if there is a fire, people outside can see it. We will not be burned to death here."

"Besides, we need to save ourselves, and the only way is to open that door."

"Wife, give me your clothes. I'll hold them up, and then we can use them as a shield to rush to the door. As long as we can find a way to open the door, we can be saved."

He learned this trick from a TV show.

In TV dramas, when people are in a fire, they usually take off their clothes and put them on to block the flames before running outside.

"it is good."

Tang Xiaoru didn't have time to think about anything else at this time, so she took off her clothes and gave them to him.

Chen Qingrong spread out his clothes to block the two of them. "When I count to three, we will rush forward. Don't be afraid. The flames won't hurt your wife. Just trust me."

"One, two, three, charge!"
