Zhou Baozhu hastily walked towards Ye's mansion, and everyone who saw her along the way greeted her. She was the mother of President Ye, and she enjoyed this feeling very much. Especially when her son became the president, she wished she could go to Ye's mansion every day. But when she came today, she had no time to think about this anymore.
Ye Nantian was looking at the documents when secretary Shu came in and said, "President Ye, Madam Zhou is here and wants to see you."
Ye Nantian rolled his eyes with a headache, he knew exactly what kind of person his mother was. Usually, she was showing off her power in the company, and he had tolerated her enough. Does she still want to disturb my work now?
Although it's a bit annoying, she was his own mother after all, so Ye Nantian said: "Let her in."
After Zhou Baozhu came in and let the secretary go out, Ye Nantian said, "Why are you here again?"
Zhou Baozhu approached with a panicked expression: "Ye Aotian is back."
Ye Nantian's complexion changed, and he said, "How do you know?"
"Yesterday, Cui Chan, that damn guy who eats inside and out, secretly contacted some of the company’s directors, and it so happened that he approached Director Li, who told me about it, and I rushed over as soon as I found out."
"Didn't you say that you have nothing to do with Li Dong? Why did he inform you first when Ye Aotian came back?" Ye Nantian said.
Zhou Baozhu's face stiffened for a moment, and then said, "What time is it that you still care about this, how do you plan to deal with Ye Aotian? I heard that she came prepared this time."
Ye Nantian turned around, looked at the desk that had belonged to him for several months, and said, "You don’t care about this, leave this matter alone."
Ye Aotian had been dreaming recently. She would usually forget what she had dreamed about after waking up, but she still felt empty in her heart, as if she had lost something important.
That day Ye Aotian sat up from the bed at dawn. She got up and poured herself a glass of water. It should be dark at this time in that country. Thinking of this, she couldn't fall asleep anymore, and she went out after a shower. The Republic was not like the Kingdom of God, and there was a high probability that people here would recognize her.
Fortunately, the weather had turned cold now, so it was not too strange for her to wear a mask and sunglasses.
Just two blocks away was a snack street. Although it was still early, the street was already filled with the aroma of food. Ye Aotian ordered a bowl of porridge from a porridge and pancake shop. The shop owner came over and asked her what side dishes she wanted, Ye Aotian ordered two items.
The boss laughed and said, "Miss, your taste is similar to a young man. He comes and orders only these two items every day."
Ye Aotian smiled indifferently, and the boss said: "But he is a foreigner. Foreigners also like to eat porridge and side dishes, don't you think it's strange?"
Ye Aotian had a very strange feeling in her heart, she couldn't help but think of Tao Ran. Could it be him?...
No, Ye Aotian shook her head. She thought that even if he chased her to the Republic, it is impossible for him to know where she lives.
With this strange feeling Ye Aotian finished eating and went back. She thought that she must be too tired as recently, she had been observing a few directors in the company, and was too mentally fatigued. She opened the door and went in, and suddenly had a very strange feeling. She couldn't help but look carefully at the living room, but there was nothing.
It must be because she was too tired, Ye Aotian headed upstairs, intending to continue to sleep for a while. As she walked up the stairs that feeling became even stronger. The sunlight came in from the window and shone on the bed, making people want to lie down just by looking at it.
Ye Aotian thought to herself, she didn't seem to draw the curtains when she went out, right?
As soon as this thought came out, she immediately felt creeped out. If I didn't open the curtains, does it mean that someone came in and opened the curtains after I left the house? So is that person still in the room now?
Ye Aotian stood there for a while, then whispered: "The side dishes were really too salty, I'd better drink a glass of water before going to bed."
She turned around and walked downstairs, step by step, her heart beat faster with each step she took. Finally she went downstairs and reached for a cup on the table. After that she headed in the direction of the kitchen, then suddenly pulled open the door and ran out when she was near the main door.
There was a loud noise from upstairs, Ye Aotian did not dare to turn around and desperately ran out.
In the early morning, the community was quiet, and even the morning exercisers hadn't come out yet.
The sound of footsteps came from behind, Ye Aotian afraid that he had a gun in his hand and did not dare to walk in a straight line, always took two steps then changed the position. She quickly crossed a street and hid in an old house. This area had been around for a long time, and there were some green moss-like things growing on the walls of the houses. Ye Aotian hid in a corner under a canopy, near a trash can. If people don't pay special attention, then they won't find anyone here at all.
Ye Aotian squatted on the ground, trying to calm her breathing. She was still thinking about how she was exposed, she couldn't stay in this place, she had to inform Cui Chan immediately.
Ye Aotian turned her phone into silent mode, and then began to send text messages to Cui Chan.
Just after sending a text message, there was a very light sound of footsteps coming from the side. The footsteps were evenly spaced, ordinary people don't make such sounds when they walk. It was like someone was walking very lightly step by step.
Ye Aotian leaned her head against the wall, and then heard a man say: "Come out."
Ye Aotian didn't move, the man said again: "If we wait for me to find you out, I won't be too polite to you. I hate people who play tricks on me the most."
Ye Aotian didn't move at all, it would the most stupid thing to be confused at this time.
The man didn't wait for her to come out, he smiled and said: "Everyone in our business has unique skills, I forgot to tell you, I have a good nose."
As he said, the footsteps turned around, and surprisingly came towards Ye Aotian's direction.
Ye Aotian's eyes widened, and she began to think of countermeasures. If the opponent didn't have a gun, she might still be able to put up a fight. She tightly squeezed the phone in her hand, and was about to throw it at him when he would come.
The sound of footsteps stopped very close, and Ye Aotian's back was covered with cold sweat. Why did he stop walking? Why did he stop?
Ye Aotian, who was squatting on the ground, slowly raised her head, and then saw a pair of eyes staring at her from the left side of the trash can.
"HeHe, I found you."
Ye Aotian's brain exploded, and she threw the phone with force. The man wrapped in black clothes reached out to pick up the phone, and with a flick of his hand, he slammed it back.
Feeling the pain on her forehead, Ye Aotian's mind became dizzy. When the mobile phone smashed her head, she backed away trying to escape, but became dizzy and fell to the ground.
The man in black stood in front of her, raised the hand holding his gun, "Speaking of which, this is the first time I've killed a young and beautiful woman like you. If the other side didn't want you dead for sure, I might have kept you for a few days."
Blood flowed from the forehead to the eyes and face, Ye Aotian said: "Did Ye Nantian send you here?"
"I have no idea."
With the pitch-black muzzle pointed at herself, Ye Aotian felt a pang of despair.
The man in black seemed to enjoy the desperate expression of the other party, and was about to shoot when a hand stretched out from behind and squeezed the hand holding the gun.
"I heard that your nose is better than a dog's?"
A hoarse male voice sounded from his back.
Ye Aotian froze and looked behind the man in black, while that man’s pupils contracted sharply. How did he approach me? Why didn't I feel anything?
Just when he was about to move, a peculiar shaped knife passed through his chest from behind.
The man in black knew this knife. In the assassination business there was no one who did not know this knife in this world. He heard that people who have seen this knife with their own eyes have all died, he wondered if it was true.
Ye Aotian watched the man in black fall beside her, and she looked at Tao Ran while leaning crookedly on the ground.
Tao Ran also looked at Ye Aotian, thought about something for a while, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Ye Aotian said.
Tao Ran: "What's the matter?"
"Why did you save me?"
Tao Ran: "Just happened to be passing by."
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Ye Aotian covered her forehead and said: "You passed by twice not once, who are you lying to?"
Tao Ran said: "I said I was passing by then I was passing by. It’s up to you if you believe it or not."
"You... don't go." Ye Aotian stretched out a bloody hand and said: "Help me up."
Tao Ran turned around and pulled Ye Aotian up from the ground, Ye Aotian held Tao Ran's gloved hand and said: "Did you follow me to the Republic? Why did you do that?"
Tao Ran: "Let me tell you one last time, I was passing by."
"Even if you want to lie to me, can you please make up a decent reason?" Ye Aotian struggled with a headache, "Let's be honest, I asked you to help me before but you refused it then why are you following me now?"
Tao Ran was stopped by her question, so he decided to leave her and go back to eat. This morning, he saw Ye Aotian at the porridge and pancake shop, which prevented him from eating the delicious thin porridge. As soon as he let go of his hand, Ye Aotian again grabbed his hand very quickly, and said viciously: "Don't think about leaving unless you make it clear."
Tao Ran turned his head to look at Ye Aotian, his black eyes seemed extremely cold. He stretched out his other hand towards Ye Aotian.
Looking at the hand that was gradually approaching, Ye Aotian was in a very complicated mood. What does he want to do? Is he trying to break my neck? Why is he following me, is it to protect me? He doesn't like me, does he?
Tao Ran's hand stopped where it was about to touch the wound on Ye Aotian's forehead, and Ye Aotian began to think about it again, does he want to touch it gently?
Then Tao Ran curled his fingers and flicked her forehead violently,
"Ah oh!"
Ye Aotian instantly withdrew her hand to cover her forehead, Tao Ran took this opportunity and disappeared with a swish. Ye Aotian stood in the same place tearfully in pain, this kind of second injury to other people's wounds is the most annoying.
