Chapter 83 Fatal Injury
Originally, it was still time for rest, but the company happened to have a very important project recently that Ji Yubo needed to follow up. After leaving Chu Xichi's house, he didn't want to waste too much time, so he drove straight to the company.
When he came to the company, he happened to meet a few employees who were fishing in the tea room, gossiping and chatting——
"Have you heard? The hot pot restaurant that opened recently."
"I know, I just ate there two days ago, it was delicious!" While talking, the employee took out his mobile phone from his pocket, flipped through a few photos and showed it to others, "Look, how is it?"
The surrounding employees were a little envious after seeing it: "It looks great, but there are too many people queuing at that store. It was only 6 pm when I went last time, and the queue was already full."
Originally, Ji Yubo was not interested in these things, and was about to pass by as usual, but when he heard their chat, he suddenly stopped and cleared his throat: "Ahem."
The sudden voice silenced several employees who were fishing for an instant, and hurriedly turned around to greet the man: "Mr. Ji, good afternoon."
"Ah."
Hearing this, Ji Yubo nodded slightly, and quietly glanced at the employee's cell phone from the corner of his eye, there was still a photo of the hot pot that hadn't been turned off on it.
He lowered his eyes and retracted his gaze, and asked nonchalantly, "Where is the hot pot restaurant you mentioned?"
Maybe... Chi Chi likes to eat?
"what?"
The topic span was too far, and several employees were stunned for a moment before they realized, "It's on the South Road not far from the company."
"Okay." The corners of Ji Yu's thin lips curled up in a calm manner, and he didn't stay for long after his goal was achieved. Before leaving, he added: "Recently, I have worked hard overtime."
"It's not hard."
After several employees watched Ji Yubo leave all the way, they immediately couldn't restrain their instincts and began to gossip -
"I didn't expect that someone as cold as Mr. Ji would like to eat hot pot."
"I recently heard from the gossip that Mr. Ji's Bai Yueguang who was abroad has returned. Maybe he brought someone to eat?"
"What? Where did you hear that?"
"Don't you see how good Mr. Ji is in a mood recently? He hasn't laughed before." The employee lowered his voice: "I have a very good relationship with Secretary Li who is next to Mr. Ji. Listen to her... ..."
the other side.
Ji Yubo, who had already sat in the office, didn't know that he had become the center of the gossip vortex.
He quickly finished the work piled up on hand, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and habitually called Chu Xichi, intending to ask him if he wanted to eat hot pot.
"Beep...beep...beep..."
The busy tone of the phone kept ringing, and there seemed to be no intention to pick it up. As time went by, Ji Yubo's eyes continued to darken.
what is he doing now
Why don't you answer the phone?
Is it because...don't want to answer his phone...?
...lost?
Ji Yubo slowly stroked his fingertips. In just a few seconds, his brain was filled with countless obscure thoughts, which he couldn't control.
He curled the corners of his lips mockingly, and when he was about to hang up the phone, the phone was picked up unexpectedly.
"Hello?" The young man's familiar voice sounded over there, it sounded like he was not paying attention to the phone at all, and said absently, "What's wrong?"
"Boom boom boom——"
Immediately afterwards, there was a messy noise on the other end of the phone, which sounded like the sound of iron forging, accompanied by Chu Xichi's pointing voice: "Master, I think it's a bit thin, please make it thicker."
"... Chi Chi?" After a long silence, Ji Yubo pursed his lips, "What are you doing?"
"Hmm..." Chu Xichi sounded a little hesitant, and after a moment of consideration, he said, "I'm doing something important to my life."
"It will end soon." He might feel that this sentence was too weak, so he paused and added, "I will explain it to you in detail later!"
Hearing this, Ji Yubo hooked the corners of his lips, and asked softly: "Do you need me to pick you up? I know there is a delicious hot pot restaurant nearby, we can go together."
"Okay." This time, Chu Xichi did not hesitate, and readily agreed, "I'll send the address to your phone."
There seemed to be someone talking next to the young man, and Ji Yubo could barely hear it through the microphone, "Boss Chu, do you think this size is okay?"
"Right now!" Chu Xichi answered the man loudly, then quickly said to him in a low voice into the microphone: "Then I'll hang up first, see you later."
"it is good."
"Ding-dong-"
As soon as the phone was hung up, Chu Xichi immediately sent the address. The location is very remote. Even if there is no traffic jam, it will take half an hour to get there from the company. There is only one factory whose main business is cast iron nearby.
Ji Yubo stared at the screen in thought for a moment, and didn't delve too deeply into what Chu Xichi was doing here.
His appeal has always been simple...as long as this person stays by his side.
After finishing the final work of the work at hand, Ji Yubo did not waste time, and after explaining the follow-up work to the secretary, he immediately drove to the location sent by the young man.
Because of the remoteness, there were not many vehicles along the way, so he drove the car very quickly, even arriving a few minutes earlier than the scheduled time.
When he arrived, Chu Xichi was already waiting for him by the roadside.
The young man was playing with his mobile phone with his head down. From a distance, he looked slender, with a white neck faintly exposed under the turtleneck sweater. He had a peaceful appearance, which seemed out of place with the noisy environment of the surrounding factories.
The corners of Ji Yu's thin lips curled up slightly uncontrollably.
Wait, after staring at each other for a while, he finally noticed something was wrong.
Chu Xichi is wearing a sweater? !
"...", Ji Yubo fell silent.
If I remember correctly, it is now the end of August in City A, and autumn has just begun. Although it may be a little chilly to wear short sleeves, it is far from the temperature of wearing a sweater.
He parked the car firmly in front of the young man, unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car to open the door for him.
"Why so fast?"
Chu Xichi was a little surprised, and raised his hand to look at his watch. It was less than an hour since he and Ji Yubo hung up the phone.
"There is no traffic jam." Ji Yubo nodded slightly, subconsciously concealing the fact that he was driving so fast just now, but kept looking at the young man's clothes from the corner of his eye.
It was only after a closer look that Chu Xichi was not wearing an ordinary knitted sweater, but a thick winter sweater, and for some reason, it still looked inexplicably bloated.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally didn't hold back, opened his mouth and said in a deliberate tone, "Chi Chi... aren't you hot?"
"Not hot." Chu Xichi answered these words crisply, and then bent over to get into the car. The moment he bent over, there was a sound unique to the collision of iron sheets under the sweater.
"boom--"
Ji Yubo: "..."
He lowered his eyes and looked at the young man for a moment, and the other party seemed to be a little dazed by the sudden sound. After a long while, he pretended to remember something, and coughed twice as if to cover up his embarrassment, "Today's belt is a little tight."
"...", Ji Yubo didn't say much, just stared at the young man indifferently.
Chu Xichi felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles by this sight, he hesitated for a long time and searched for a reasonable explanation, but he never thought that the man suddenly closed his eyes, as if he really believed his nonsense, and said: "Okay, I believe you."
For Chu Xichi, a typical player who takes the soft but not the tough.
If Ji Yubo acted as if he didn't believe him, he would be ashamed to come up with a bunch of outrageous reasons to prevaricate, but after the other party really gave him all the trust, he started to feel guilty instead.
After much deliberation, he still chose to confess part of it, "...I didn't want to hide anything from you, it's just that what the Taoist said today made me very uneasy, so I took some measures to make myself feel at ease."
Hearing this, Ji Yubo let out an inaudible sigh, "Chichi, I didn't mean to force you."
He gently covered the young man's fingertips soothingly, and when he saw that the other party had no intention of taking it back, he slowly closed it tightly, very solemnly, as if he was looking at his most precious treasure in the world, "There is no need to be yourself in front of me." things you don't like."
After staring at each other for a while, Chu Xichi turned his head in embarrassment——
Sure enough, it was too thick, otherwise how could the ears be so hot.
The windows were not open, and the air in the confined space was slow and sticky.
At this moment, Chu Xichi didn't know if it was the heavy sweater that was causing the trouble, but Chu Xichi only felt that the air was getting thinner and it was difficult to breathe. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something to ease the increasingly ambiguous atmosphere.
"boom--"
However, at this moment, there was a sudden explosion sound from the wheels. The sound was loud, as if the body of the car was shaking, sweeping away the charming atmosphere inside the car.
Chu Xichi:?
what's the situation?
He looked at Ji Yubo inexplicably, and saw that the other person frowned slightly, and let go of his hand, opened the door and got out of the driveway: "I'll go check the situation, you wait for me in the car."
Chu Xichi didn't speak, but felt a little empty at his fingertips for a moment.
His heart beat faster and faster, his cheeks were so hot that he couldn't tell whether it was the sweater that was too thick or the air that was too mellow.
After being alone for a while, he took several deep breaths, but he still couldn't calm down, so he was about to get out of the car and blow some air.
When his throbbing heart finally calmed down a little, Chu Xichi went around to the back of the car, saw Ji Yubo's slightly dignified expression, and asked a little strangely, "What's wrong?"
"Someone put a nail here."
The location of this place is remote, so Chu Xichi didn't think much about it, subconsciously thinking that it was accidentally dropped while transporting materials from a nearby factory.
"I remember that there is a garage nearby." While talking, he walked towards the factory: "I'll look for it."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a hoarse male voice, which was very close to him, the voice was rough as if it had been sanded, and mixed with thick hatred: "Go to hell!!!"
A man with a hood jumped up from the cluttered bushes around him, holding a gleaming dagger in his hand.
All this happened in a few breaths, and the two had no time to react.
Accompanied by this voice, the strong wind of the dagger piercing the air rang in my ears at the same time.
But when the gust of wind hit Chu Xichi's waist, it stopped abruptly, leaving only the sound of hitting the iron plate: "Dang——"
"Huh?" The hooded man was stunned, but time was running out, he didn't have time to think about it, and stabbed at the young man again with all his strength.
"Zeng!" A louder metallic sound rang out, completely numb his hand, and the dagger was sent flying to the ground.
But even so, it failed to hurt the man in the slightest.
Those two knives had used up all the strength of the man in the hood, but the young man in front of him showed no signs of injury. How could a normal person's flesh and blood resist a sharp weapon, unless...unless he was not human at all!
In an instant, the hooded man's legs were paralyzed on the ground, and he kept moving backwards with his hands and feet, and said in a trembling voice, "Weird, monster..."
"Blame your mother!"
Unexpectedly, this sentence seemed to have angered the young man, and the other party woke up from the dazed state of being stabbed, and lifted up the sweater with two big holes poked, revealing a piece of thick iron that had been polished to add luster. Board, staring down at the man in the hood, said in a cold voice.
"mentally retarded."
"You still want to pierce my armor with your broken dagger?"
Hooded Man: "..."
Be sick!Who has nothing to go out and carry an iron plate on the back!
The author says:
Who would have thought that someone would wear a sweater to cover the iron plate in summer!
