Fortunately, the place where Gong Wanzhi fainted was sparsely populated, and a few cars would pass by occasionally. Mai Xiaoshu and the Husky stood side by side, trying their best to cover him, so as not to arouse the suspicion of passers-by.
As the sky gradually darkened, Mai Xiaoshu waited impatiently when a car headlight shone towards her, causing her to squint slightly. She raised her head slightly and saw a black Cayenne parked in front of her. The door opened and a young man walked slowly towards her from the light. His black coat made his face look even whiter.
"Xiao Shu." Jiang Xingye smiled slightly, trying hard to hide his nervousness. When he saw Mai Xiaoshu pointing at the person lying at his feet, he was stunned for a moment.
Mai Xiaoshu scratched his head and asked Jiang Xingye: "He fainted from being scared by the dog, what should we do?"
"Have you told anyone else?" Jiang Xingye asked word by word.
"No."
Hearing her answer, Jiang Xingye's expression finally relaxed: "Let's take him back first, and leave the rest to me."
Together they lifted Miyamaru Tomo to the back seat, and when they were ready to leave, Doudou still refused to give up and said, "Are you really not going to take me back? I'm very capable..."
"Go back quickly, your master must be looking for you." Mai Xiaoshu looked at the night scene around him.
Doudou looked at Mai Xiaoshu reluctantly, then turned and ran towards the darkness.
"Thank you, Doudou, I will miss you..." Mai Xiaoshu called behind it. Looking at its leaving figure, Mai Xiaoshu felt a little reluctant.
"Awoo (next time, remember to bring me some delicious grilled sausages)..."
The barking of the dog faded away in the darkness.
It was not until Jiang Xingye urged her that she said "Oh" and returned to the passenger seat.
As Gong Wanzhi was unconscious, the atmosphere in the car seemed to be only the two of them. Jiang Xingye's voice suddenly came: "Xiao Shu, how did you find Gong Wanzhi? Did he say anything to you before he fell into a coma?"
She shook her head and found that Jiang Xingye was vaguely nervous: "No. He fainted without saying anything."
Jiang Xingye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Mai Xiaoshu looked at the profile of the handsome boy in front of her, and the scene of his confession that day suddenly popped up in her mind. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. At this time, he turned his head and smiled at her, like the warm sun in autumn, extremely warm.
"Have you been avoiding me recently? I didn't receive a reply the last time I texted you." Jiang Xingye turned his head.
It is true that she received a text message from Guo Jiang Xingye after Christmas, but she hadn't thought of how to reply at that time, and she kept procrastinating and forgot about it. Thinking of this, her cheeks turned red again. Fortunately, the lights in the car were dim, so he didn't notice it.
Mai Xiaoshu pretended to be nonchalant and laughed: "No way, the cafe was too busy and I forgot about it. You don't know how popular the business has been recently... Ah, I forgot what the boss asked me to do. Can you take me to get some coffee beans?"
"Okay, tell me the address."
After telling Jiang Xingye the address, Mai Xiaoshu called the supplier again and asked him to move the coffee beans to the door and she would be there soon.
After hanging up the phone, the car became quiet again.
"You haven't given me an answer yet." Jiang Xingye suddenly spoke, his voice as gentle as usual.
Mai Xiaoshu's heart skipped a beat and he didn't know how to organize his words.
Mai Xiaoshu pursed her lips, with a somewhat nervous look between her brows.
"Xingye, I have always regarded you as a friend..."
Jiang Xingye turned around, his eyes were complicated and unclear, and he suddenly blurted out: "The one you like in your heart is Cheng Ye, right?"
The tone was flat, as if stating an indisputable fact.
Mai Xiaoshu's heart skipped a beat, and she thought, how could he know that? Did An Chengye know that too?
As if in agreement, she remained silent.
"It is true." Jiang Xingye raised his lips and said nothing more, but his expression was a little lonely.
The atmosphere in the car became very strange, but fortunately they soon arrived downstairs of the supplier's company, and Mai Xiaoshu hurriedly got out of the car to order the goods.
On the way thereafter, the two of them didn't say much. When the car slowly stopped downstairs of her house, Jiang Xingye looked up at her and said, "Xiao Shu, go home first. I'll discuss with Cheng Ye and decide whether to call the police."
"Can you really do this by yourself? What if he suddenly wakes up while you're driving?" After getting out of the car, Mai Xiaoshu bent over and said to Jiang Xingye with some concern, "No, let's call the police first."
"We can't call the police. The company has finally gotten back on track. Now that this matter has become a big deal, it will be another scandal for the company."
"What should we do then?"
"Xiao Shu!" At this time, a familiar voice came from not far away. She turned her head and found that it was Song Feifei standing there waving at her.
"Otherwise, leave Miyamaru Satoshi to me and Feifei, and you go back and discuss it with An Chengye first. I will help you take good care of him!"
"But can you handle it if he wakes up?"
"Don't worry, Miyamaru Satoshi wouldn't dare to do anything to Feifei, and I have animal friends who will all come over at my command."
The two were in a stalemate. Jiang Xingye pondered for a while and then nodded.
When seeing Mai Xiaoshu helping the unconscious Gong Wanzhi out of the car, Song Feifei opened her eyes wide and asked: "What happened to Gong Wanzhi? Where did you find him?"
"Fei Fei, help me quickly." Mai Xiaoshu struggled to pull Gong Wanzhi's arm and tried to pull him out of the car, but there was no movement for a long time. At this time, Jiang Xingye also got out of the car. His appearance surprised Song Feifei even more.
"Senior!" she exclaimed.
"I'll explain it to you when we get upstairs. Come and help."
Hearing the urging, Song Feifei quickly joined the team carrying people.
Jiang Xingye didn't expect that the two girls were so strong. The three of them successfully carried Miyamaru Tomo to his home. He helped carry the coffee beans up, and after reminding them to be careful, he left.
After listening to Mai Xiaoshu's story, Song Feifei rolled his eyes at Gong Wanzhi who was lying on the ground: "Wait until this idiot wakes up and see how I deal with him!"
Her words made Miyaru Chi, who had been pretending to be dead, tremble slightly, and his heart began to beat. He did not really faint just now, but pretended to be so when he saw that the situation was not right. He had not found a suitable opportunity to escape just now, and he did not expect that he would be carried here by them.
After a few seconds, he found that Mai Xiaoshu and Song Feifei, who were chattering in the room just now, suddenly became silent, so he opened one eye slightly and took a peek, only to find that the two were sitting upright on the ground, two pairs of eyes staring at him.
"Do you want to continue pretending to be unconscious?" Mai Xiaoshu asked, standing up with his hands on his hips.
Gong Wanzhi opened his eyes and shook his head helplessly. When he saw Song Feifei beside Mai Xiaoshu looking at him angrily, he couldn't help but want to explain: "Fei Fei, it's not what you think. I was forced to do this."
"Being forced? Who is forcing you?" Mai Xiaoshu asked.
"I can't say." Miyamaru Tomo still looked like he would never tell anyone.
Gong Wanzhi sighed, and when he looked up, he saw Mai Xiaoshu curling his lips, with a terrifying light in his eyes: "Gong Wanzhi, if you still refuse to tell the truth, don't blame me for abusing lynching!"
"You, what are you going to do?" Sitting on the ground, Miyamaru Tomo had no idea what method she would use to punish him. He supported his body with his hands and kept moving backwards. Soon he shrank into the corner.
Suddenly, a green snake appeared in front of him, twisting its body and sticking its tongue out at him. Mai Xiaoshu had bought this snake from a pet store on his way back home.
Miyamaru Satoshi screamed and curled up into a ball.
What he feared most was snakes. He remembered that he had mentioned it to Song Feifei inadvertently. He never expected that the most terrifying animal would now be used as a tool to torture him.
"Don't come over here! Feifei, how could you do this to me! Don't come over here!" Miyamaru Tomo was so scared that his face turned pale.
Song Feifei opened her mouth hesitantly: "Tell Xiao Shu the truth quickly, and she will let you go."
"Haha, are you scared? If you are, just tell the truth!"
With a hissing sound, the green snake's tongue was about to stick to his face. Miyamaru Chi finally gave up struggling and said weakly: "I'll tell you everything!"
After Mai Xiaoshu finished laughing, he regained his composure and looked at him and asked, "Who is the mastermind behind this?"
"You also know that person, he is..."
Just as Miyamaru Tomo opened his mouth, there was a sudden and violent knock on the door.
"Open the door quickly! Can you hear me, the people inside? If you don't open the door, we will rush in!" The person knocking on the door outside shouted at the top of his voice, and his voice sounded very scary.
"Who's knocking on the door?" Mai Xiaoshu and Song Feifei looked at each other, cold sweat on their foreheads.
Before Mai Xiaoshu could put away the snake in his hand, several burly men in blue uniforms suddenly broke in through the door.
The poor wooden door slammed to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.
Aren't they police officers? Why did the police come in? They looked at them fiercely, as .
"Who is Mai Xiaoshu?" the leading policeman asked seriously. He suddenly fixed his eyes on a fixed point, as if he had discovered something dangerous. He suddenly stepped back and quickly pulled out a pistol from his waist. The policemen behind him also pulled out their pistols as if they were facing a great enemy. In an instant, dozens of guns were pointed at them.
"Put down the lethal weapon in your hand immediately!"
"You...what are you talking about?" It was the first time Mai Xiaoshu encountered such a horrifying scene and he was so scared that he became incoherent.
"Ah, Xiaoshu! Put down the snake in your hand!" Finally, Song Feifei screamed.
Mai Xiaoshu recovered and said to the police in a panic, "Uncle police, I will collect it right away, right away!"
In fact, the snake was not big. She put it into the small jar tremblingly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the police put down their guns.
"Who among you is Mai Xiaoshu?" The leading policeman, who had single eyelids and looked a bit fierce, asked again.
“I… I am…” Mai Xiaoshu raised his hands above his head in a gesture of surrender.
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at her for a while, and waved his hand in the air: "Catch her for me!"
"What are you doing? Why are you arresting me?"
"In broad daylight, even the police cannot arrest civilians at will!" Song Feifei was also anxious.
"Civilians? Someone reported that you illegally detained citizens. By the way, have you found the victim?" The policeman suddenly asked the police inside.
Soon someone answered: "Captain, we found it."
Two policemen helped Miyamaru Tomo to his feet. He had been silent all this time, but now his eyes were almost popping out of his head out of fear.
The police captain stared at him and asked, "Are they the ones who are holding you here?"
Mai Xiaoshu prayed in his heart that Gong Wanzhi would not say anything nonsense, but he saw Gong Wanzhi, who was so frightened just now, immediately nodded rapidly.
"What should we do?" Mai Xiaoshu and Song Feifei, who were inexplicably labeled as kidnappers, looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
In this way, the three were taken to the police station.
