Chapter 810 One Finger

Yeah, another hour passed...

In another two hours, it will be a full twelve hours. If Mu Chen really came to the imperial city, he should have arrived.

Xi Jincheng got up a little restlessly, walked to the window, and looked at the raindrops under the street lamp outside the window.

It's raining.

It's raining again in such a cold weather, and I don't know if Mu Chen is cold or not.

Where did they take Mu Chen? Why are there so many people blocking all roads, but there is still no news of Mu Chen?

They can't sit invisible and sneak back from under so many eyes, can they?
"How about, let's go out and have a look around too!" Zu Qinyao also felt like sitting on pins and needles, waiting like this, it's better to go and have a look separately.

Maybe it was really possible that the blind cat ran into a dead mouse and let them hit it?

Xi Jincheng looked back at Shu Ran, who immediately nodded to him and agreed to Zu Qinyao's proposal, and he nodded silently.

"Let's go." Going out may distract Shu Ran's too concentrated attention.

"It's raining outside, everyone, please drive carefully." Shi Yuyan warned.

"Let me go with Qinyao! I dare not drive at night!" Ban Tianyi hurriedly grabbed Zu Qinyao.

"Yeah." Zu Qinyao nodded, knowing that he was a patient with night blindness.

A few people left as soon as they said they would, Xi Jincheng took Shu Ran with him, took an umbrella casually, and propped it on top of her.

..............................

In the imperial city in December, sitting in a car with the heater turned on, one could feel the coldness outside.

Shu Ran looked at the front windshield, the wipers swung one after another, taking away a piece of raindrops, and soon covered them with a new layer.

Xi Jincheng turned his head to look at her from time to time, stretched out his hand, and took her hand clenched into a fist on her lap.

Her hands were cold and trembling slightly, which made people suspect that she was not sitting in the warm car, but sitting outside in the cold wind and rain.

"Shu Ran, relax." Xi Jincheng pulled away her clenched fingers, straightened them one by one, and put his palm against hers, warming her cold hands.

"Don't worry! I'm fine!" Shu Ran turned her head, smiled at him, and comforted him in turn.

Xi Jincheng nodded, maybe, when she wanted to cry, he should have made her cry instead of coaxing her.

Crying out might make her feel better, at least she doesn't have to suppress herself so much.

"Xi Jincheng, if..."

Before Shu Ran finished speaking, Xi Jincheng's cell phone rang again.

The two looked at the mobile phone on the locker in the middle at the same time. It was a call from Liu Can.

Xi Jincheng picked it up, and before he could say anything, Liu Can shouted on the phone: "Mr. Xi, where are you? Come back quickly! I'm in MG!"

Xi Jincheng's heart skipped a beat. Although he didn't know why Liu Can was in such a hurry, he knew that Liu Can was not a flamboyant person.

"Okay." Xi Jincheng replied in a deep voice, hung up the phone, and turned the car around.

"What's wrong?" Shu Ran looked at him puzzled, not knowing what Liu Can said would make Xi Jincheng suddenly change his face.

"I don't know, Liu Can is in MG, let's go back." Xi Jincheng shook his head, he didn't dare to express his uneasiness and suspicion in his heart, and replied evasively.

"Oh." Shu Ran nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

When they returned to MG, they found Liu Can standing at the door.

Although there were eaves and the wind and rain were heavy, it still made the right side of his brown suit pants darken a lot.

"Why don't you go in and wait?" Xi Jincheng hugged Shu Ran, and pushed the umbrella towards her as much as possible.

"Mr. Xi." Liu Can was holding a box in his arms, an ordinary cardboard box, but he seemed to have some treasure in it, almost using his whole body to protect the box from getting wet from the rain.

Seeing his solemn expression and his posture holding the box, Xi Jincheng's heart jumped wildly.

The umbrella in his hand suddenly flew out as if blown away by the wind, and the raindrops quickly wet them.

Xi Jincheng hurriedly escorted Shu Ran in until he opened the door, and Liu Can followed behind.

"Shu Ran, you're wet, go change your clothes, don't catch a cold! I'll make some ginger soup." Xi Jincheng patted Shu Ran's shoulders where there were some wet spots, and said softly.

"It's okay, I didn't get wet." Shu Ran stroked her hair, and then she got a few drops of rain, which was not as serious as he said.

"Hey, go and brush your hair and change your clothes. By the way, go get a set of my clothes and change them for Liu Can." Xi Jincheng pushed her to the stairs and confessed.

Shu Ran looked back at Liu Can's half-soaked clothes, nodded and went upstairs.

Xi Jincheng didn't return to Liu Can's side until he watched her body disappear at the top of the stairs, looking at the box in his arms.

"Mr. Xi." Liu Can licked his lips, even his voice was trembling.

Xi Jincheng closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and asked in a low voice, "What's inside?"

"One finger." Liu Can replied in pain.

"Did you say anything?" Xi Jincheng clenched his hand hanging by his side into a fist. The blue veins on the back of his hand were distinct, and the joints were white, and the connection of every bone could be seen clearly.

"No." Liu Can shook his head, looking at him with red eyes: "Not even a note!"

"Where did you find it?" Xi Jincheng looked at the note in Liu Can's hand, but it was connected, and he didn't even have the courage to open it to check the authenticity.

"It's right at the door. I can't sleep even if I want to go back. If there is anything here, I might be able to help, so I came here." Liu Can explained.

"Don't let Shu Ran know." Xi Jincheng nodded, with a murderous look in his eyes.

Liu Can nodded silently, hugging the cardboard box even tighter.

"Damn it!" Xi Jincheng kicked the sofa hard, half of the heavy three-seater sofa was shifted by him.

Liu Can sighed, not knowing how to comfort her.

I'm really worried about that child, I don't know how he is doing now.

These people are really insane!
How could he have the heart to do such a cruel thing to a child?
When Shu Ran went downstairs, she saw Xi Jincheng cooking ginger soup in the kitchen, and the smell of ginger and brown sugar wafted through the house.

Standing at the door of the kitchen, Liu Can smiled when he saw her, but the smile was indescribably far-fetched.

"Mr. Liu, I'm so sorry to make you worry and suffer!" Shu Ran handed him the clothes in her hand and thanked him sincerely.

"Ma'am, please don't be so polite!" Liu Can originally wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, he still took the clothes.

"Go and change quickly! Don't catch a cold!" Shu Ran smiled at him, turned and walked into the kitchen.
