Chapter 1320 Yun Rui's sincerity: like fog
Yang Xiaotang's provocative and sarcastic expression severely broke the last string in Qi Ruixiang's mind. Before she could finish her words, she felt an extreme suffocation on her neck!
"Your father is a policeman, you should know that you need to have evidence when speaking!"
Qi Ruixiang exudes an icy aura and his sinister eyes are like a sharp blade that can torture someone to death in a matter of minutes!
Yang Xiaotang subconsciously held the man's hand, and her trembling lips were enough to reveal her mood at the moment. It turned out that some skills should not be used casually!
However, even at this point, Qi Ruixiang did not let go. If he used a little more force, just a little bit, he could break the woman's neck!
Just a piece of scrap dared to provoke him, just a piece of scrap dared to sow discord between him and Gu Yunxi!
Who gave you the courage!
Yang Xiaotang knew that she had gone too far and that she had really touched Qi Ruixiang's sore spot this time. She wanted to beg for mercy, but the suffocating feeling on her neck did not dissipate at all. It was not until she lost her balance due to lack of oxygen and her eyes went black that Qi Ruixiang let go of his hand as if giving alms.
The constant influx of large amounts of fresh oxygen made Yang Xiaotang cough uncontrollably. She protected her neck while lying on the ground, feeling her surroundings as if she had survived a disaster!
She kept coughing and retching, and the warmth of the man's big hand still remained on her snow-white neck!
Qi Ruixiang just lowered his eyes and looked at her. He felt so angry that the woman who had just been trying to provoke him with sharp words became so miserable in the blink of an eye!
He took a deep breath to calm himself down, then squatted down and looked at her miserable appearance from a close distance!
When Qi Ruixiang stretched out the hand that had just pinched Yang Xiaotang's neck, the other party didn't even have the strength to dodge!
He lifted her chin and looked down at the woman with red eyes, then took out a large pile of results to give to Gu Yunxi.
"When did she find you?"
Yang Xiaotang swallowed her saliva while trying to find her original voice. She hurriedly put away the documents and put them back into the canvas bag. "We met in the restaurant that day when I was in the hospital. She asked me to help investigate Lin Xu's case... She wanted to use my connections to report her missing in China, and then she and you..."
Yang Xiaotang paused for a moment and didn't say anything else. She tried to meet Qi Ruixiang's gaze, then reflexively drew back, swallowing continuously while stroking her neck...
Two rapid cell phone rings suddenly rang at the same time, echoing harshly on the empty rooftop.
Yang Xiaotang froze, and subconsciously reached for her phone in her pocket. The moment the screen lit up, the words "Gu Yunxi" pierced her eyes, causing them to hurt.
At the same time, the screen of the mobile phone that Qi Ruixiang took out from the inner pocket of his suit suddenly showed the real-time image of Gu Yunxi lying on the hospital bed.
In the surveillance footage, Gu Yunxi was holding up his cell phone, listening to the busy tone with a frown on his face, and the IV tube was shaking gently at the edge of the camera.
Yang Xiaotang secretly glanced at Qi Ruixiang's mobile phone screen. She took a breath and her pupils began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a panic, the phone in her hand fell to the ground with a "click".
She looked at Qi Ruixiang's phone screen and then at her own phone with the screen on. Her throat felt like a ball of wet cotton was stuffed in it and she couldn't make any sound.
She had heard of spyware that monitored other people's phones, but she never thought it would be so close to her!
"Pick it up." Qi Ruixiang's voice was as cold as ice, and his eyes never left Yang Xiaotang's pale face.
Yang Xiaotang stared at the vibrating phone on the ground, her fingertips shaking so much that she didn't even have the strength to bend over.
She could feel Qi Ruixiang's gaze on the back of her neck, as hot as a poisonous snake's tongue. It was the residual force left by the hand that had pinched her neck, more frightening than any threat.
"Pick it up." Qi Ruixiang repeated it again, with an unquestionable warning in his tone.
Yang Xiaotang finally gritted her teeth and bent down. The moment her fingertips touched the phone case, the screen suddenly went dark - Gu Yunxi hung up the phone.
Almost at the same time, Qi Ruixiang heard the sound of Gu Yunxi putting down the phone from his phone. He could even clearly hear her whispering "strange" to the air. The outline of her face looked particularly soft under the light in the ward.
This scene made Yang Xiaotang feel even colder than the feeling of suffocation just now.
She recalled the scene when she first met Qi Ruixiang.
But now Qi Ruixiang still had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.
"You... you monitored her?" Yang Xiaotang's voice was cracked, like a guitar string rubbed by sandpaper.
Qi Ruixiang didn't answer, but just released the hand that was pinching her chin and turned to walk towards the railing.
The wind lifted the hem of his suit, revealing the ironed white shirt underneath, with an exquisite cufflink pinned to his collar - that was a birthday gift from Gu Yunxi. She said, "Only the best is worthy of you."
In the ward on the other side, Gu Yunxi picked up the phone again, seeming to hesitate whether to dial again.
Qi Ruixiang's thumb gently stroked the edge of the screen, as if he was caressing a precious collection, but Yang Xiaotang clearly saw the bulging blue veins on his wrist - that was a sign of suppressed violence.
"If I tell you that continuing to investigate this matter will implicate your father, what will you choose?" Qi Ruixiang suddenly spoke, his voice a little scattered by the wind, "If he can't land smoothly, then you..."
Yang Xiaotang looked up suddenly.
But before she could finish her question, her phone vibrated again. This time, only Yang Xiaotang's phone rang. Qi Ruixiang had already muted his own phone.
Gu Yunxi's persistent ringing of the bell echoed repeatedly on the rooftop like a death warrant.
Seeing that the person next to him couldn't make a decision for a long time, Qi Ruixiang turned his head and signaled her with his eyes to answer the phone.
Yang Xiaotang's fingers hovered over the answer button for a long time, her nails digging deep into her palms.
On the other end of the line, Gu Yunxi was frowning and looking at his phone, obviously wondering why he couldn't get through to Yang Xiaotang.
This simple confusion suddenly made Yang Xiaotang feel nauseous - being plotted against by the person he trusted the most and being monitored by the person closest to him, Gu Yunxi was completely clueless at the moment, which seemed like a cruel joke.
"Hello?" She finally pressed the answer button, her voice trembling.
"Where are you?" Gu Yunxi's voice was hoarse from his illness. In the background, he could hear the noise of a nurse making rounds. "I was just about to call you to ask about that dock surveillance you mentioned last time..."
"I'm busy." Yang Xiaotang interrupted her, her eyes involuntarily glancing at Qi Ruixiang's phone screen - he was holding the phone up, the camera steadily aimed at her, obviously recording the call. "I'll call you back later."
"Oh... okay." Gu Yunxi seemed to notice that something was wrong with her. He paused and asked again, "Are you okay? Your voice sounds weird."
Yang Xiaotang's gaze met Qi Ruixiang's icy eyes, and her throat suddenly tightened. "It's okay, hanging up." She hung up the phone almost as if fleeing, the phone slipping from her palm and cracking on the ground.
In the surveillance footage, Gu Yunxi frowned and put down his phone, his expression full of confusion. Qi Ruixiang stared at the screen for a few seconds, then suddenly pressed the lock button. Suddenly, only the sound of the wind remained on the rooftop.
Yang Xiaotang huddled on the ground, hugging her knees like a frightened hedgehog. As she watched Qi Ruixiang approach, she suddenly remembered a phrase used to describe people like him: "They're like the London fog—gentle on the surface, but capable of suffocating you to death."
