Had he been waiting for my call? The thought flashed through my mind, but it was quickly quelled by fear.
"Xia Ze, I don't know why, but I am suddenly very afraid." I tried not to cry. I was stronger now, but my voice choked.
"Yes." 's face appeared in my mind as I tried my best to imagine what kind of expression he would have at this moment. It was very strange, but I wasn't that afraid anymore.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Xia Ze's voice from the phone became anxious, "What happened over there?"
"I think there's someone in the factory." "I have to go down and see."
Xia Ze said, "Don't go down, you stay here, you are not familiar with the other side, what will you do if you get injured down there?"
"It doesn't matter." "I'm not going to get hurt," I said. "I'm a little scared, but I'm more worried about the goods here. If anything goes wrong with them, everything will be on me again, and I don't know how to deal with them."
"Then don't hang up." His voice was very warm, causing my anxious heart to gradually calm down.
It was just as quiet as before, only the sound of the rain could be heard. The raindrops pattered against the window, making the place seem even quieter.
Don't be afraid, there is nothing to worry about, this is Li Zhen's factory.
I looked at the monitor again. The shadow was gone.
Am I seeing things? I wondered if it was because I had been so scared that I had imagined the shadow.
"Jiang Rou, how are you right now?" Xia Ze asked me again.
"I'm fine." I said, I heard the sound of rain and wind coming from Xia Ze's side, "You came out? You don't need to come out, I can take care of this myself. "
"I'm worried about you." Xia Ze said, his tone was light, but I could hear the concern in his voice.
I planned to say a few gentle words with Xia Ze, but that black figure that flashed on the screen just now appeared again, this time appearing in the factory, beside a pile of basic wine that was about to be delivered today.
I can't let anything go wrong with it. Where did Li Zhen go? If Li Zhen was here, I wouldn't be so scared. Maybe Li Zhen would even be able to recognize the person who was there.
"Xia Ze, I'm going down." "Don't come over here."
"Wait for me." Xia Ze said.
I didn't listen to Xia Ze. I didn't know how long it would take Xia Ze to get here, but no matter how fast he was, it was too late.
I picked up my flashlight and a fruit knife and walked down the stairs. I wasn't familiar with this factory, but there was a number on the display. I had been here a few times before, so it wasn't hard to find where Shadow was.
The corridor was empty except for the yellow light bulb above my head. It was very quiet, like a scene from a horror movie, but Xia Ze was right on the other end of my phone. I felt less scared than I did before.
I walked down the stairs. The factory only took a turn and we were already there. I had obviously walked a long distance, but I didn't see anyone, nor did I see Li Zhen.
"Jiang Rou, don't leave anymore." Xia Ze was still trying to persuade me to turn back as we walked. I felt his concern.
"I'm almost there." I said, "I'm not afraid, and nothing will happen to me. You can rest assured."
Xia Ze became silent. I heard his heavy breathing and he seemed very excited. This was the first time I saw him so excited.
"I'm fine." "You don't have to worry about me. I'm much stronger than I used to be."
"But I still want to be by your side."
When we were talking softly, I had already walked to the door. I stopped and said to Xia Ze, "Xia Ze, don't say anything."
Xia Ze answered and the other side quietened down.
The door to the factory was shut tight. If I hadn't seen it from the monitor, I might have thought there was no one inside, but I knew there was someone here.
I used some strength to pull open the door, and the door quietly opened. The strong smell of alcohol entered my nose, and after recovering my senses, I looked inside the door.
It was so quiet in the factory that I could only hear the sound of the rain outside, which frightened my already calm heart again.
I put my flashlight away and walked toward where I could see it from the monitor in the moonlight. I was almost there.
If they were afraid of such a small matter, how could they accomplish anything big in the future? I said to myself.
"Crack." It was at this moment that I suddenly heard something drop to the ground. I immediately looked towards the source of the sound.
I saw the dark shadow, his back to me, his features familiar, as I had seen them before and mistaken them for each other.
It was the back of a girl.
"Tao Man!" "What are you doing here?"
The figure paused. She didn't turn around, she just stood there.
Staring at her back, I thought the long coat that covered her whole body looked familiar. I had seen it somewhere before.
"Tao Man, why did you harm me?" "You knew it wasn't my fault?" Whether it was the fact that Cheng Ruojun did not love her or the matter of him beating up her child.
Tao Man was still standing there, while I was almost behind her.
I wish I could excite her. Better to make her crazy, to lose her head, to make it easier to subdue her.
"Tao Man, I know you love Cheng Ruojun, maybe even more than me, but Cheng Ruojun only loves me." I said, "You should be willing to accept your loss, not do something small here.
Tao Man still didn't say anything, but she started to move, her back facing me as she moved deeper in. I also chased after her, lowering my head to look at those goods that had been flipped over.
"Tao Man, Cheng Ruojun will never love you." I was only a few steps away from her, and it was at this moment that I finally remembered where I had seen her.
"You …" I opened my mouth hesitantly, but the next second, I was hit heavily on the back of my head. I didn't even have the time to look back before I fell.
