Forbidden City

Chapter 108

I went back by bus, and the platform was next to the vegetable market.After I got off the car, I went around the vegetable market and bought a rolling pin.After returning to the hotel, I put it under the front desk and waited intently for the arrival of Li Yang and others.However, after waiting for nearly four or five hours, it was getting dark, and Li Yang and others did not show up.Instead, there were three people living in the hotel.

A couple, and a man with a briefcase.Three very ordinary people.

It shouldn't be for tears, I think.

Could it be that Li Yang and the others are afraid of being beaten by me and dare not come?
Just as I was thinking, my cell phone rang. I took it out and saw that it was Zhou Yuyong calling.He asked me how I was doing at the hotel, how the business was, and I said everything was fine.Zhou Yuyong said happily: "That's good. I'm most afraid that you won't get used to it. By the way, where is Xinxin? Is school over now?" I said no, that school is full-day care and only comes back on weekends.Zhou Yuyong asked, "Which school is it?" I just made up a school, and Zhou Yuyong said "oh", chatted with me casually, and then hung up the phone.

Listening to Zhou Yuyong's tone, joy is mixed with care, which moved me very much.However, I am still very worried about him. This is because of the phone call he made that night. He said that a black child crawled out of Ouyang Mei's stomach to nurse.But now, seeing that he is fine, I even began to doubt in my heart whether Zhou Yuyong really told me that thing that night.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Zhou Yuyong called again. He said that he was very happy today and asked me to drink at his place, which is the villa we went to last time.

Hearing this, I was secretly happy.In fact, I have long wanted to go.Hope to see some clues from the villa.However, three people came to the hotel today, and I have to stay here.Zhou Yuyong hesitated for a moment, and said decisively: "Don't worry about those three people, you must come tonight." Seeing Zhou Yuyong's resolute words, I had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll go talk to those three people first."

After hanging up the phone, I came to the second floor, stopped in front of one of the rooms, and was about to knock on the door. Suddenly, I heard a faint hum from inside, like a woman moaning in pain.I immediately retracted the hand that was extended in mid-air.We're all grown-ups, so we naturally know what's going on inside.When I knocked on the door at this time, people thought I was a policeman.

When I went downstairs, I called Aunt Huang and said that I had something to do at night, and asked her to help me with the shift, and I would treat her to supper when I came back.Aunt Huang was very talkative and came within 10 minutes.

After explaining the matter to Aunt Huang, I went straight to Zhou Yuyong's villa.On the way, I was thinking, should I tell Mu Yi about this?But then I thought again, this time it was Zhou Yuyong who asked me to go drink, there shouldn't be any problems, if I told her about such a trivial matter, wouldn't it appear that I was too lacking in ideas?
It was nine o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the gate of the villa.Seeing that the iron gate was closed, I called Zhou Yuyong.After three rings, the other party refused to answer.

What is this kid doing?I was surprised when I saw a person walking out of the villa.It was the white-faced woman that Ouyang Mei called her Sister Rong last time.She came to the door, looked at me, and opened it without a word.Because of the incident last time, we were still hostile to each other, and I didn't speak to her, so I went straight in.

All the way to the living room, I thought that Zhou Yuyong would come out to greet him with a smile on his face, but, contrary to expectations, not only did he not come out, even when I went to the living room, I didn't see his shadow.There was only one person sitting in the living room, Ouyang Mei.Hearing my footsteps coming in, she glanced at me lazily, but didn't make a sound.

Zhou Yuyong didn't show up, and this is the territory of the "enemy". Her indifference made me feel embarrassed.

The white-faced woman also came in, sat down on the sofa without saying a word, and turned a blind eye to me.

"Where's Zhou Yuyong?" I looked at Ouyang Mei and asked as calmly as possible.

Only then did Ouyang Mei casually say, "Upstairs."

What she meant was that if I wanted to find Zhou Yuyong, I should go upstairs by myself.

I looked upstairs, then glanced at Ouyang Mei and the white-faced woman. I always felt that these two women were not normal.And things seem weirder.Zhou Yuyong asked me to come over for a drink. Why didn't he answer my phone and come downstairs when I came?And Ouyang Mei and the white-faced woman were obviously extremely indifferent to me, and they didn't even want to look at me more, so why did they let me in?Still let me go upstairs?
Could it be that the upstairs is a trap?
However, if the upstairs is a trap, then Zhou Yuyong's situation may be very dangerous.Even so, since I'm here, how can I retreat in the face of difficulties?In order to find out the truth, even if I have to break into the dragon's lake and the tiger's den.

After hesitating for a moment, I stepped up and walked upstairs.

Although my eyes were looking forward, I still secretly observed Ouyang Mei and the white-faced woman from the corner of my eye.When they saw me go upstairs, they moved their bodies slightly, looked at each other again, and then returned to their original state, as if they had nothing to do with themselves and were watching the show.

I went straight to the second floor, thinking that I could see Zhou Yuyong here.However, looking around, there was no one in sight, and the ear was quiet, where was Zhou Yuyong's shadow?
"Yongyong!" I shouted loudly.

"Bang bang..." There was a sudden knock on the door.With a heartbeat, I walked towards the knock on the door without thinking.When I got there, I found that the door had been closed.In other words, the person who knocked on the door was inside.

Since people are inside the house, if they want to come out, they should open the door directly, so why knock on the door?
And since the other party knocks on the door, there are only two possibilities: one is that the people in the room cannot open the door and can only knock on the door, but under what circumstances can the door not be opened?Either he was tied up, or he was seriously injured; the second is that the people in the room deliberately made noises to lead me over.

Either way, danger lurks in the house.

At this time, I was less than two meters away from that room.I stopped and called again in a deep voice, "Yongyong?"

The knocking stopped abruptly.

For a moment, there was a deathly silence all around.

I took out my mobile phone and dialed Zhou Yuyong's number. As the number was dialed, Zhou Yuyong's mobile phone ringtone came from the room.However, until such a cold voice came from my mobile phone: Sorry, no one answered the number you dialed... Zhou Yuyong did not answer until the ringtone in the room stopped.

Why didn't Zhou Yuyong answer the phone? Did something happen to him?

I didn't care too much anymore, walked to the door, pushed it lightly, and the door opened.It was very dark inside, so I took a picture with my mobile phone and found that it was a bedroom with a person lying on the bed.

Because it was too far away and the light was extremely weak, I couldn't see who it was.He took a photo on the wall next to the door with the light of his mobile phone and found the light switch.After turning on the light, I hurriedly looked towards the bed, and my heart sank. That was Zhou Yuyong.

"Yongyong!" I stepped to the bed in three steps at a time, and when I saw his appearance clearly, I couldn't help but gasped.

Zhou Yuyong was lying on his back on the bed, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his cheekbones were protruding, like a dying person who had been ill for many years due to malnutrition.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't believe my eyes for a moment.One day ago, Zhou Yuyong was full of vigor and vigor, but within a day, he was already lying on the bed, dying, his face ashen, he was completely different from yesterday.

What is going on here?
"Yongyong..." I yelled twice again and pushed him a few times. Zhou Yutong opened his eyes and looked at me. His lips moved, but there was only a hoarse sound in his throat, as if An old man who has been ill for a long time can't even speak at this time!
"What's wrong with you? Huh?" I was burning with anxiety: "Who made you like this?"

Zhou Yuyong's hand moved, trying to lift it up, I quickly grabbed his hand, but found that her hand was as cold as ice, and there was no warmth in it.

"Don't...don't...blame...her." He finally struggled to say three words.

My heart sank, and I hurriedly asked: "Her? Who is she? Is it Ouyang Mei?"

However, Zhou Yuyong closed his eyes again, and did not speak at this time.I was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Yongyong! Yongyong!"

"Stop screaming, he is going to die soon, if you scream again, he won't wake up." Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind.

I hurriedly turned my head and looked at the person behind me.

When I saw his appearance clearly, I was shocked for a moment.How could it be him?
