Lots of misunderstandings, the president's bride

Chapter 247 Protecting This Home

Xia Zhan looked back at her, "Oh, it's nothing, I just feel that someone over there seems to be watching here."

An Xi followed his line of sight and saw that this was a shanty town, where there were scavengers or homeless people living in it. It was dirty and messy. Looking out, it was a piece of ruins

"Where is anyone?"

"Maybe I got it wrong." Xia Zhan couldn't be sure, because the light here was very dark, and he couldn't see clearly.After thinking for a while, he asked An Xi: "Did the old man say anything?"

An Xi shook her head in disappointment. She looked behind her and signaled them to leave first.

They walked out of the shanty town in a circle, and they walked on the street. It was almost eleven o'clock, and the crowd still hadn't dispersed. I heard there was a fire today?Everyone is waiting for that moment to come.

An Xi stood on a wooden bridge looking at the lights on the river.

She was silent for a moment and then said: "He didn't say anything, he said that someone who thought it was your father wanted to find my mother, so he ignored Mu Yang."

"Ke Muyang is taking a trip?" Xia Zhan asked in astonishment.

An Xi looked at him, "You find it strange too, don't you?"

Xia Zhan smiled, took a step forward, and said: "I think you should know this better than me. Ke Muyang is a person who can't do anything without me. Since he can find this [-]-year-old audio complete There is no old butler of the Xia family, so he must have known something before he came. And how can he not take anything with him when he comes? "

"But why did Mu Yang come to him?"

Xia Zhan couldn't help chuckling: "It's more practical for you to ask me than to ask Ke Muyang directly."

An Xi looked at him silently.

If she asked Ke Muyang what she could get out, she wouldn't be here now.What is Ke Muyang's unspeakable secret?If he was really the murderer of his mother, but why?It's just that until now, she still firmly believes that Ke Muyang is innocent.That's why she's here.

She pursed her lips, bypassed Xia Zhan without saying anything, and walked straight forward.

An Xi kept walking along the crowd. At this time, fireworks were lit in the sky, and everyone looked up at the night sky at the same time. Fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the crowd burst into cheers from time to time...

At this moment, how much she wished that Ke Muyang was by her side.

"Dinglingling..." At this time, bursts of crisp voices slid by my ears.

She followed the prestige, and saw someone selling the guard.

She walked over and looked at the guardians hanging above.It's done at work, and it looks very special.

"Miss, why don't you buy one? I wish you all the best."

Anxi touched a shou with the word "love" written on it, and the boss smiled and said, "This is the shou of love. I wish you and your lover a lifetime of love."

An Xi smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll buy one."

"This is a pair." Probably the boss is too good at doing business. Seeing that she believed this, he said: "Miss, this is a pair to be effective. One for your lover and one for yourself. We will never be apart again."

An Xi didn't care about these, so she just bought a pair of these guards.

She shook the guard, and the bell on it jingled, and the sound was very nice.

Xia Zhan looked at her and said, "This is clearly a deception. I didn't expect you to believe this."

An Xi carefully put them into her bag, and said, "So what?"

"If you really have confidence in Ke Muyang, would you need these?"

Anxi smiled bitterly, "It's because I don't have self-confidence, so I need these to give myself some courage. Because I don't know what I will face in the future, but no matter what it is, I will face it, because I know , I have no way out."

"You have!" Xia Zhan looked at her and said, "You can choose to leave here, I promise, as long as you want, I can let go of everything here, let's start again, I mean it."

Anxi smiled and shook her head, "Xia Zhan, let go of everything. If you want to, then you have already let go. Why wait until now? No one can really let go of everything. Your destiny is The Xia family, the interests of the Xia family, your status, rights... Are you willing to let go of everything? You can't, because giving up is tantamount to a dead end, so in order to survive, you...you, and Mu Yang, Your father, and everyone else, cannot really let go."

"Anxi! Can't you choose to give up? Knowing everything is right for you, will you really pay it back?"

"I just want to know that he is innocent, and I don't care about the rest. How you fight, how you fight, has nothing to do with me. I just want to protect my home."

"You are so stubborn!" Xia Zhan growled a little angrily.

An Xi looked at him, her eyes suddenly became extremely sharp: "You don't want me to continue to investigate, I think you may know a lot of things, right?"

"I..." Xia Zhan was suddenly at a loss for words.

An Xi chuckled and said, "You followed me here not because you were worried about me being alone, but because you also wanted to prove some evidence for your doubts, or you were looking for something, right? Right? Xia Zhan."

Xia Zhan was silent.

Indeed, what she said was not wrong at all.

His purpose of coming here was not pure, indeed, he was looking for something.

Looking into Xia Zhan's eyes, An Xi was silent for a while and then chuckled, "So, you even came here with a plan in advance, how could I believe that your saying of letting go of everything and taking me away is true Woolen cloth?"

"An Xi!"

After Anxi took a deep breath, she only heard her whisper: "Xia Zhan, I just want a home, isn't this too much to ask? So no matter what your purpose is or what you are looking for, I don't want to bother. Ke Mu Yang said that he loves this family very much, so I believe that he will not hurt me or this family. I also believe that he has something to hide."

Xia Zhan was silent.

An Xi turned around after she finished speaking, and when she was about to leave, her body stiffened involuntarily.

After that, she didn't move, but stood where she was, looking at the bustling crowd, as if she was searching for something in the crowd.

Xia Zhan seemed to have noticed her strangeness, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

An Xi didn't seem to hear what he said, but fixed her eyes on the crowd, as if she saw something, her expression changed instantly.

Seeing this, Xia Zhan asked again: "What's wrong with you?"

An Xi still didn't answer him, but took two steps forward, and in that dimly lit place, she saw a familiar figure...

Her face suddenly turned pale.

At this moment, she ran straight into the crowd.

Seeing An Xi's unusual behavior, Xia Zhan couldn't help being startled. He reached out to grab her, but he still didn't stop her. He didn't know what happened, so he also chased after her.

"Anxi! What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Cen Kexin stopped a person at the door of a small shop, and she ran to him in panic...

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" The other party looked at the pale Anxi in astonishment.

An Xi's hand that was holding onto the opponent's arm couldn't help but tremble, and then she took a step back, but she didn't know what to say.

Xia Zhan ran forward and quickly apologized to the man, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, An Xi! An Xi..."

An Xi regained consciousness in a trance, she looked at the other party and said, "No, I'm sorry, I think I misidentified the person."

Xia Zhan also quickly apologized again, but the other party didn't do much, and then left.

But An Xi didn't give up, she didn't care about Xia Zhan's obstruction at all, she stood at a corner and looked into the crowd, but there were too many people, in the night market, the lights were a bit dazzling, blocking Cen Kexin's sight.

She tried her best to find something in the crowd.

Xia Zhan stepped forward, "An Xi, what's wrong with you?"

An Xi seemed to have finally regained her composure, and looked back at him, but her gaze seemed to be a little dazed, which already showed that she was still a little panicked at this moment.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I've been too tired for the past few days, and I want to go back and rest." After finishing speaking, she turned and walked in another direction...

Xia Zhan was a little inexplicable about her actions just now, and he subconsciously looked back at the bustling crowd behind him, "What did she see?"

After thinking for a while, he still followed Anxi towards the hotel...

And in the crowd behind them, a figure came out from a side alley.

There was no light in the alley, he was standing in the dark, and he couldn't see the man's appearance clearly. He stood there with his hands behind his back, looking at An Xi's receding back, and there was a slight arc on the corner of his lips. , can't see any expression.

"Sir." At this time, he walked up to the previous person.

The man lit a cigar, and the light from the lighter reflected a calm and composed face, but it was only for a moment, and the fire went out after the cigarette was lit.

"Do it cleanly."

"Yes."

The man took a puff of his cigarette, then turned and walked into the alley beside him.

Shanty town...

A person pushed open the dilapidated iron door of Lao Xiang.

Under the dim light, a tall figure bent over and walked in.

Hearing the voice, Lao Xiang immediately came out from the inside, and greeted him humbly: "Mister, you, you are here."

A tall and burly man came in. He looked at him and asked, "Did that girl come to you already?"

Lao Xiang replied tremblingly: "Yes, yes, young lady, young lady has just been here, and I have already told her what you want."

"She believed it?" the other party asked.

"This... I think so."

The other party looked at Lao Xiang, as if confirming something.

Lao Xiang was frightened and hurriedly said: "I, I said exactly what you mean, and I don't think she has any doubts at all."

"You didn't say that Xia Ni came to look for you?" The other party walked around here with his hands behind his back, seemingly careless, but in fact, he had scared Lao Xiang enough.

Lao Xiang bent over and hurriedly said: "No, no, that girl just came to ask Ke Muyang if he came to look for me."

The other party looked at him, "Then how did you answer?"

"I followed your advice and said that I thought Xia Minglang was looking for Xia Ni, so I didn't say anything. Really, really, I promise, I really didn't say anything this time."

The other party snorted when he heard the words, and he patted Lao Xiang on the shoulder, "Good job, sir is also very satisfied."

"Really, really, then, that... Since Mr.'s boss is satisfied, isn't he..."

The other party glanced at her, then smiled and said, "Of course, this is the money my boss promised to give you."

When Lao Xiang saw this, a greedy light flashed in his eyes.

He stretched out his hand to take it, but the other party retracted his hand.

Lao Xiang also seemed to understand what the other party meant, and then smiled: "Sir, don't worry, I know what to do. I promise not to leak a word. I promise that no one will know anything."

The other party hooked the corners of his lips, "How can I trust you?" The other party suddenly sneered and said, "At the beginning you also promised not to let anyone know that Xia Ni came to you, but when Ke Muyang came, nothing happened. I did it, and I said everything I shouldn't have said."

When Lao Xiang heard this, his face immediately turned pale, "That, that's because he has a gun, I, if I don't tell, I will die."

"At the beginning, my boss left you alive, but you didn't know what to do and betrayed my boss. Hmph, do you think we will still trust you..."

"me……"

"Back then you could have betrayed your master and let your master's family be ruined, why? Do you think my boss will believe your words?"

Lao Xiang's face was livid, and he opened his eyes wide to look at the other party.

The other party smiled, "Only the dead can't talk nonsense."

Hearing this, Lao Xiang knelt down on the ground, "Sir, sir, please save my life. I have a son who is demented. Sir, I promise that I will never talk nonsense, absolutely..." Lao Xiang The whole body was trembling with fright, tightly pulling on the other person's clothes, and kept begging for mercy.

But the other party's eyes flashed a trace of killing intent, "Don't let me do it myself, you'd better be sensible, you Yingai should have expected today."

Lao Xiang looked at him with a livid face, and suddenly he fell to the ground trembling all over, his whole body twitching non-stop, foaming at the mouth.

The man took a step back, stood aside and looked at him quietly...

Finally, I saw Lao Xiang covering his chest with his hands, struggling on the ground a few times in pain, then opened his eyes wide and lost his breath.

The man frowned, stepped forward, touched Lao Xiang's carotid artery, and found that it had stopped beating.

He stood up and couldn't help chuckling: "Tch, I'm scared to death like this, hum!"

After speaking, he turned and left...

An Xi slept until midnight, and suddenly woke up from the dream screaming...

She ran her fingers through her hair and hugged herself tightly with her arms trembling all over.

"That figure...that figure..." She closed her eyes, her back was soaked in cold sweat.

She bit her lip, feeling a burst of grievance inexplicably, tears streaming down her eyes...

"Mu Yang, it would be great if you were there. Mu Yang...do you know, I'm scared, I'm really scared! Mu Yang...what to do, I'm really scared..."

She buried her face between her knees, sobbing softly.

She subconsciously touched her wedding ring, but then she discovered that her ring hadn't been brought out at all.

For some reason, she bit her ring finger and cried even more sadly.

She wants to go back, she wants to go home.

But going back, will the relationship between them be the same as before?
She was inexplicably scared in her heart. She missed him, wanted to call him very much, but picked up the cell phone that had been off for several days, but didn't have the courage to turn it on.

She didn't know when she fell asleep crying and crying again. In the dimness, she heard a hasty knock on the door.

She tried hard to open her eyes, opened her eyes, but felt that her eyes were dry and uncomfortable, and she couldn't open them no matter what.

An Xi tried hard to wake herself up, and found that she was still holding the phone in her hand.

In fact, she still didn't have the courage to make that phone call in the end.

She regained consciousness a little, and found that the door was still knocking non-stop.

So she got out of bed, walked to the door, and opened it, which was locked with a safety chain, so there was only one opening.

I saw Xia Zhan standing at the door, "Is there something wrong? It's so early."

Xia Zhan looked at her with a heavy expression: "Something happened."

"What's wrong?" An Xi frowned, as if seeing something from his expression.

Xia Zhan said: "Old Xiang is dead."

"What?" An Xi looked at him with wide eyes.

Xia Zhan said: "Just now my people told me that Lao Xiang suddenly had a heart attack last night and died at home. It was his demented son who told people everywhere that his father was dead, so someone called the police, and the police went over. It's cold. It looks like it's been dead for a while."

An Xi frowned, "Wait a minute, I'll change clothes."

An Xi changed clothes and came out, and went to the local police station with Xia Zhan to find out the situation.

Lao Xiang did suffer from a sudden heart attack, there was nothing suspicious about it.

An Xi and Xia Zhan came out from inside, neither of them said a word.

She stood on the bridge watching the sunrise in the morning mist.She shrank her body involuntarily, and Xia Zhan put on her suit jacket.

"What are your plans now?"

An Xi looked back at him, and then sighed: "I originally wanted to wait for him to stabilize his mood today before asking him to learn more from him, but he didn't expect him to have a sudden heart attack. How could it be so Is it a coincidence?" She also hoped that it was a coincidence, but why did she have to wait until she knew the existence of this person and he died?
Xia Zhan stepped forward and chuckled, "It seems that things are not going so well."

"Xia Zhan, did you do it?" An Xi turned to look at him.

Xia Zhan was taken aback for a moment, but then he chuckled and said, "The reason? To be honest, this old Xiang is useless to me, he won't get any benefits here, and you might as well tell me what benefits I can get by killing him, Like you, I'm looking for answers, and since I know this person might have some answers for me, I won't mess around until I get them."

An Xi suddenly felt uneasy for no reason.

This feeling made her tremble all over.

"Sorry!" Anxi apologized immediately, but she was speaking nonsense without any reason.

Because if he really wanted him dead, why let her know of Lao Xiang's existence before doing it?She could have killed it directly, and she wouldn't know it.

Xia Zhan looked at her and shook his head, "Listen to me, being a little confused may not be a bad thing."

An Xi didn't speak, just turned around and walked straight forward...

"What's the date today?" An Xi suddenly asked.

"No. 20." Xia Zhan replied, suddenly he thought of something, so he said with a smile: "It seems that the day after tomorrow is your wedding, you...do you want to go back?"
