On the way home."...""..."Xizhu fell asleep as soon as she got in the car. She hugged her handbag tightly and opened her eyes warily to look around.Zhou, then lowered his head and fell asleep. Her breath smelled faintly of champagne.Bai Siyan straightened her shaking head and fastened her seat belt."..."At this time, the man took out his mobile phone from his pocket and stared at the screen where the call had ended, his eyes frozen.cold."406..."From the beginning, he had planned to reveal the inside story to her. But, he didn't intend to be thereDo it at the right time and in that way."Originally I just wanted to make up a random story to get closer—"But when the threatener suddenly starts belittling Hee-joo, all hell breaks loose. If he had been with me at that timeIf he scolded Hee Joo, maybe the situation would be different.
Bai Siyan looked at the scenery that flashed by unintentionally, clenching his jaw.However, he couldn't bear it."It's so damn..."Just when he was frowning, his phone suddenly vibrated. In this unexpected sound, BaiSi Yan immediately picked up the phone and looked at Xizhu.On the other end of the phone, before he could speak, an urgent voice interrupted him."Senior! Found it, found it!""Speak slowly." He lowered the volume so as not to wake Xizhu, and at the same time carefully laid her headTwist your hair behind your ears."It's a threat! Did you know that the call lasted more than 10 minutes with you? So we successfully locatedGot him. Tracking successful!"The assistant's excited voice came, and Bai Siyan just raised his eyebrows slightly.The time actually reached 10 minutes? That was not a mistake he would make."Very close to here is the Soogongdong Hotel you visited today!""What?"
Bai Siyan's eyes finally left Xizhu."It looks like it's someone who was at the Shanjing Daily event today.""..."He sneered. This is simply teasing him. Compared with kind people, Bai Siyan is more accustomed toUsed to dealing with criminals. However, 406 is different, a special existence that he wants to kill more and more.exist. This guy deliberately picks out the weaknesses he wants to hide, and is simply a master at playing tricks on people.Bai Siyan decided to personally investigate the guests, temporary workers and regular employees at the event to find out what they had in common.point."How's the voice change going?"Bai Siyan asked in a low voice.
"Ah, yes...that is not an ordinary voice change, but an encrypted voice. Although it is not allowedtractable, but they are deciphering it layer by layer. "He covered Xizhu's slipped shawl again, but the sadness on his face remained.After Bai Siyan sent Xizhu home, he went directly to the third office. In the dark office,There are also several employees who stay away from get off work in front of their computers. As soon as he came in, Park Do-jae, who looked haggard, followedI came over with piles of reports in my hands."Senior, have you received a notification from the police?""ah--"
Bai Siyan, who was taking off his coat, paused for a moment. As I was busy with the activities of Shanjing Daily, this matter came to my attention.Handled by assistant. I didn't have high hopes for the issue of Xizhu's biological father, it was just an example.Reported the case in a formal manner. And instead——Bai Siyan recalled how Xizhu was talking on the phone in the car just now. She is indeed holding a cell phone stickerin the ear.As if searching for something missing, his eyes became sharp.The man who had been standing in the office in a daze for a long time spoke slowly."998가4568.""What?""The license plate number of the police car. Need the dashcam video from around 3pm on October 14th."This instruction seemed very sudden."Suddenly, this is why..."The assistant tilted his head in confusion and Bai Siyan said calmly.
"I want to see my wife's face.""What?""What's the problem?"Assistant Park opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.All dash cam memory cards of patrol cars and Criminal Mobile Team vehicles were hacked by NIS hackersThe program took over."How many minutes do I need?"Bai Siyan urged coldly.Under his gaze, Assistant Park hurriedly returned to his position.
But Park Do-jae, who turned around, quickly erased his dull expression and became as cold as another person.people."Please let me out of the car. 』"What?""No, please let me get off here." 』In the darkness, the light from the screen reflected on Bai Siyan's face.What's this?His face hardened. Bai Siyan stared at Xizhu on the screen."Do you think the police car is a taxi?""Let me get off, please." 』"But, in the middle of the road, why...""As long as I get off the bus alone, everything will be fine." 』What the hell is going on?
"Please, please, please, vomit..."On the screen, Xizhu was banging on the car door frantically, even kicking it violently, and fell into a serious panic.At the same time, it came clearly..."Let me get off, please." 』her voice."ha......"He grabbed the back of his neck and the coffee cup spilled out involuntarily.The documents on the table were instantly soaked and turned black.But Bai Siyan didn't realize this at all, his hot pupils only stared at the screen.Can Hong Hee Joo talk?say?
When did it start?He stroked his stiff face with both hands, and his violently trembling eyes could not regain their composure for a long time.What's going on...Not caring that his sleeves were soaked with coffee, he played the video again.The shock that had not dissipated was still on his face, which looked extremely distorted."No, please let me get off here." 』"No, please let me get off here." 』"No, please let me get off here." 』It was a clear sound without any impurities.
He forced himself to listen to Xizhu's voice over and over again.But no matter how many times I repeat it, it's still unbelievable.How could that mouth that has been closed for most of its life make a sound?How could it be so easy, so weak, so fragile."ha......"The finger pressed the playback button again."No, please let me get off here." 』"No, please let me get off here." 』"No, please let me get off here." 』The man's eyes were fixed on Xizhu's lips in the video, appearing extremely persistent.Twenty years, twenty years.
Hong Xizhu has been silent for many years.Perhaps because of this, he had never doubted her aphasia, but now it felt likeHe was hit hard by a brick, and the back of his head felt numb."You can ring my be-e-ell......"Bai Siyan listened to the pop songs faintly playing in the background and played back the video again.After a whole night, he finally accepted the fact.Hong Hee Joo can talk.His brows furrowed tightly.As soon as he opened his eyes, Xizhu almost screamed because of the morning light.
"--!"Fortunately, the sound stuck in his throat turned into a violent sneeze.'Why, why...'Bai Siyan, standing beside the bed, looked down at her expressionlessly.What's even more creepy than his non-human pupils is his motionless posture.It's completely impossible to guess when he started standing like this.Although I am wearing the same clothes as yesterday, there are some subtle differences. The tie is missing,The sleeves were also stained.What happened last night? His neat appearance became so messy.Xizhu covered her red neck and distanced herself from him. So, Bai Siyan's eyes quietlyFollow her movements."Hong Xizhu, did you sleep well?""..."
His tone didn't sound like a greeting.There was an inexplicable anger in that voice.Xizhu frowned when she noticed something strange. When she didn't respond, he sneered."Ah—this feels worse than I thought."He laughed slightly and rubbed his temples with his hands.A slight wrinkle appeared between his eyebrows, as if he had a splitting headache."I always thought Hong Xizhu was a quiet person——"He added, with a hint of stickiness in his voice.
Then, his eyes stayed around Xizhu's lips."Start with the shock.""...!""Would you like to try it?"He licked his lower lip, blinked his tired eyes, and seemed to be thinking."I always thought there was no secret in this world that I didn't know, but today I was beaten hardA slap. "He leaned his head against the wall and muttered, "That sucks.""Hong Xizhu also knows how to pick people."He knelt on the bed and lay down heavily. He smelled faintly of coffee.Xizhu hurriedly wanted to leave the bed, but at that moment, her ankle was caught. That power is stronger than she thoughtThe elephant was stronger and she couldn't move.He pulled Xizhu's ankles, straightened her legs, and covered her with a quilt.
"The timid Hong Xizhu... is so good at picking people, it really makes me..."He half-opened his eyes and cursed under his breath. Then, he looked up at stiffness with a strange lookof Xizhu."What an expensive mouth."Xizhu just stared at him blankly, speechless for a moment.
