I was blocked by my girlfriend’s best friend.

Just last night.

The dog boss is not a human being and demands that next week’s plan be completed in advance.

So when I got home from overtime, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

I was afraid of waking up my girlfriend, so I didn’t dare to turn on the light and wash myself in the dark.

But because I couldn’t see anything, I was in a hurry and could only repeatedly light up the screen as a light source.

took a random shower.

But it wasn’t until I wiped the water off my body and climbed into bed that I realized something was wrong. What about

people?

I was stunned and subconsciously touched the inside of the bed.

is also empty, and the bedding is cold. What's going on with

?

Originally, his head was groggy due to staying up late, but now he wakes up instantly.

I got up and turned on the light. The bright light was so bright that it was hard to open my eyes.

took a while to adapt, and finally saw clearly that the bed was empty and there was no one.

Shen Tian is not at home, so where has she gone?

I just got on the phone this afternoon.

I was asked to work overtime at the last minute, and we had to cancel the movie we planned to watch together.

She expressed her understanding and comforted me that it was okay, saying that she would go with Xiao Ran and have a cup of milk tea together.

Xiao Ran is her best friend, so I felt relieved to let her go.

But it’s already one o’clock in the morning, which cup of milk tea hasn’t been finished yet?

I got out of bed to get my phone.

opened the chat history between us, only to find that it was still at nine o'clock. She said that the movie had ended, it was not very good, and she wanted to go to a milk tea shop with Xiao Ran.

As usual, nothing unusual.

But the question is, what about people?

Why aren't you back so late?

I typed and asked where she was, but there was no response.

waited until his patience ran out and simply called.

but still no one answered.

I stared at the unanswered interface, and my head felt dizzy.

She didn’t answer any of the three calls.

By some strange coincidence, I clicked on her avatar and entered the circle of friends.

then discovered that she had posted a group photo around eleven o'clock.

She was face to face with Xiao Ran, holding a cup of milk tea and posing a glass of wine with a cheerful smile.

looks fine at first glance.

But when I enlarged the photo, I noticed something was wrong.

The background of the photo is glass. Because it is dark outside the window, it is easier to reflect light.

Although the reflection on the glass was blurry, it was not difficult to see that the person taking the photo of them was a squatting man.

subconsciously tightened his grip on the phone.

Although I don't want to accept the reality, I have to admit that the man's hairstyle and clothing are exactly the same as her predecessor.

She said she was watching a movie with her best friends, but why was her ex also there?

I gritted my teeth and pulled out Xiao Ran’s WeChat account, wanting to ask her what was going on.

can send the message but it shows that it was rejected.

stared at the red exclamation mark for a long time before I realized that she had blocked me.

I am not a fool. I can guess it even now.

Shen Tian probably gave me a cuckold as a big gift!

I was holding back my breath, and all I could think about was catching someone raping.

But when I got dressed, I realized that I had no idea where to look for someone.

Open the curtains, Shenzhen is always brightly lit in the early morning, but I can only stare at the wall of the building opposite in a daze.

The warmth and quarrels after living together, these past memories came to mind.

couldn't help but smile bitterly. That's all, it's easy to get together and part ways.

Go to sleep, you have to go to work tomorrow.

I didn’t even bother to take off my clothes and went straight to bed.

But suddenly, the phone rang.

The incoming call ringtone was particularly clear in the silence, and I was shocked.

Who is it in the middle of the night?

looked through the phone and found out it was an unfamiliar number.

I frowned and waited for the ringing to stop and hang up automatically.

thought this was the end.

But it was still the same number, so I called again immediately.

So persistent...

I finally pressed answer.

Almost as soon as the call was connected, a sharp female voice rushed out of the phone, "Zhuang Qin, come here quickly, save Shen Tian, ​​please!"

I subconsciously moved the phone away from my ear.

But the familiar voice on the other end of the phone shocked me, "Xiao Ran?"

She didn't answer, only repeated those words in confusion, "Zhuang Qin, please, save Shen Tian, ​​please ! ”

The background was noisy, I frowned and just wanted to ask her to clarify.

But the sound stopped abruptly. After

came to his senses, he realized that the person on the other end had hung up the phone.

is inexplicable, but it doesn’t look like a prank.

I stared at the call record for a while, then called back quickly to find out what was going on.

The phone started ringing.

I was even prepared for no one to answer, but to my surprise, the call was answered immediately.

He spoke in a deep voice, "Xiao Ran, tell me clearly, what's going on?"

But the person who answered on the other end was a man, "What Xiao Ran, I'm not Xiao Ran!"

I was stunned, and then Afterwards, I realized that this strange number was probably not Xiao Ran's own mobile phone.

slowed down his tone and said, "Please ask Xiao Ran to answer the phone."

But the other end said a curse word, "I'm really convinced."

"I don't know what you are talking about, a woman just drank Too much, grab my cell phone and make a call. That woman has been taken away by her boyfriend now. If you need anything, don’t call me. Hang up."

The big brother’s words came to me like a barrage, and I finally understood what he meant. What do you mean, the line was disconnected again.

Before hanging up the phone, he could still hear the other person cursing and complaining about his bad luck.

But, boyfriend.

How can Xiao Ran have a boyfriend?

She just broke up with the scumbag three days ago because of his cheating. She asked Shen Tian to go to the bar all day long and said she wanted to relax, so it was possible for them to reconcile so quickly.

I clutched my phone and subconsciously thought of the man reflected in the glass in the group photo at the milk tea shop.

Did something really happen...

After this incident, I was no longer sleepy.

found the phone number just now and dialed back.

Before the other person could speak this time, I spoke first, "Brother, please don't hang up. I really have something to do. Where are you now? Can you give me your address? That drunk girl is my girlfriend. She is with I said she went to see a movie with her best friend today, but she hasn't come back yet. If she drinks too much, I have to go pick her up for fear that something will happen to her. "

This call can be regarded as half-truth and half-false.

My elder brother was stunned, and after a long time he stumbled and asked me, "But she has been taken away by a man. Isn't that you?"

I was stunned and could only continue to say, "It's not me, you." Can you give me the address? I'll go find them."

"Oh, oh, okay."

"At No. 43 Bar Street, Juese Bar." The elder brother didn't know what he was thinking about from my silence, and his tone. Sympathy, "But brother, I would like to advise you, young people, don't be impulsive, try not to do anything."

I am afraid that you mistakenly think that I want to catch the rapist and take revenge.

I smiled bitterly and said without further explanation, "Okay, thank you."

I grabbed my clothes and took a taxi to go out.

At two o'clock in the morning, the roadside bar was still brightly lit and full of young people holding wine glasses.

The bar is not far from where I live, and I reached my destination quickly.

But after I got out of the car, I found that the door of the bar was full of people.

The security guard in black clothes pushed the person out.

Many people were still holding wine glasses, obviously not aware of the situation. What's more, some had drunk too much and were sleeping on the roadside.

The crowd asked dissatisfiedly, "What's going on? Why are you driving people away all of a sudden?"

Before I could walk over to ask about the situation, the piercing siren sounded from far away.

A police car with its lights flashing stopped at the door of the bar. What's going on with

?

I got off the car and approached, looking for someone among the onlookers in the outer circle, and asked, "Brother, let me ask, what's going on?"

"I don't know." He responded casually, "I just came here. . ”

He seemed to be more anxious than me, and he hurriedly pushed aside the onlookers in front of him, and was about to squeeze towards the door of the bar.

It was dark at night, and I couldn’t see clearly what this person looked like.

But the voice is surprisingly familiar.

I carefully observed his movements and body shape, and the more I looked at him, the more familiar he seemed.

couldn't help but say, "Chen Wei."

"Huh?"

The person in front froze when he heard this and turned to look at me.

had a surprised expression, but he also called out my name, "Zhuang Qin?"

"Why are you here."

We both asked this sentence.

Chen Wei is my high school classmate and fellow countryman. When we came to Shenzhen from our hometown together, we rented together for a while because our work places were not far away.

His salary was not low at that time, but he was also tired. The company would not let him go until one or two o'clock every day, and many times he had to work overtime when he returned home.

Later, he couldn't stand the squeeze from his boss, so he resigned and said he wanted to start his own business, so he moved out of the house we rented together.

Calculating carefully, we haven’t seen each other for more than half a year.

I unexpectedly met an acquaintance and was more surprised than happy. I explained vaguely, "Looking for someone, how about you."

And he sighed, "Forget it, why didn't I leave my job and open a bar? I was just getting better, and something happened. , I don’t know which lunatic called the police, even the police came over."

Call the police?

Could it be related to the phone call Xiao Ran made to me? I concentrated on this matter and only realized it later.

This bar is actually opened by Chen Wei?

is such a coincidence.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Let me go and see what's going on. Let's have a drink later."

The environment was noisy. Chen Wei raised his voice to talk to me, and then continued to get into the crowd.

I thought of Shen Tian whose whereabouts were unknown, gritted my teeth, and followed him forward.

"Are you mistaken? We are a serious bar and have a good business. How can we be illegally imprisoned?"

Chen Wei and I walked up and happened to hear this sentence.

Illegal imprisonment?

This is no small matter.

The young bartender looked panicked, and the bartender with flamboyant hair did not dare to say a word.

There was a murmur from the crowd.

The police had a straight face, obviously unwilling to cause widespread panic. "We received a report. This is the address provided on the phone. Who is the person in charge? Please cooperate with the investigation."

"Here, the person in charge is here." Chen Wei quickly spoke up. "Cooperate, we will definitely cooperate with the investigation, but we are just a small bar and have only opened for a short time. There is really no illegal imprisonment as you mentioned."

Seeing that Chen Wei said he was willing to cooperate, the police officer leading the team softened a bit.

then arranged team members to evacuate the crowd and entered the bar to conduct a careful search.

There are still some who are brave and refuse to leave, so they stand far or near and hold up their mobile phones to record.

The bartender and bartender were frightened and kept saying, "Boss, it's okay, just like usual. We are all watching. Someone must have drunk too much and went crazy and called the police."

Chen Wei sighed , "Come on, just hope nothing happens to you two."

No one was allowed to move around freely during the search. A group of us stood inside the door, guarded by two policemen.

Chen Wei squatted beside the wall, biting his back teeth in anxiety.

I patted his shoulder, not knowing how to persuade him. He looked at me and shook his head.

followed the police figures as they searched in teams in an orderly manner.

Fortunately, this ordeal did not last long.

Within ten minutes, the police closed the team.

"Sorry, nothing unusual was found in the store. We will continue to verify the specific situation. We are really sorry for the inconvenience caused to you."

Chen Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's really okay."

Then the police seemed to be planning to close the team.

But I couldn’t help but think of Xiao Ran’s strange phone call, and felt something was wrong.

stopped the young policeman who was walking at the end, "Comrade police, I want to ask about the specific situation."

"After all, alarming you is of a bad nature and is a loss to our bar. Even if it is a prank, we can't just ignore it, no, we have to do it no matter what. "I know what's going on."

Chen Wei was startled, looked at the brightly lit but empty bar, and realized that it couldn't be opened tonight, and echoed: "Yes, uncle police, why don't you tell us? situation."

The boss spoke in person, and the request was not too much.

The young police officer received permission and patiently explained, "We received the report at 3:40 in the morning. The reporter was a woman who said she was being held in the basement of the bar. Judging from the phone call, the reporter was very emotional. , and hung up the phone passively. In order to rescue us as soon as possible, we immediately dispatched the police, but... During the comprehensive search just now, no illegal imprisonment was found, and we have confirmed that the surveillance near the basement of the bar has no abnormality, but we will Continue to verify. "

Because the police call could not be reached and the search results were normal, the police quickly evacuated.

Chen Wei closed the store.

poured me a glass of wine, stared at the bartender cleaning up the mess, and complained.

"This sister probably drank too much and took 110 for excitement. Don't you think she's sick? It's better to go to work. You don't know how difficult it is to open this bar. I've seen all the things that ruin your outlook on life. There are countless people who came here to write their homework, and there were also people who stayed here with three different people... By the way, who are you looking for? "

"I'm looking for..." Thinking of the complicated situation. , couldn't help but couldn't help but asked Chen Wei, "Is there really no basement where people can hide in your store?"

"No." Chen Wei put down his cup with a "Dang" sound, "Why don't you believe it, policeman?" I checked just now, am I that kind of person? "Oh, that's not right!"

His eyes suddenly widened, as if he suddenly remembered something, and he stared at me, "It can't be true."

"What do you mean?" I also became serious, sat up straight and looked at him.

He glanced at the bartender and bartender. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he simply pulled me up and said, "Come with me."

He walked through the corridor and the toilet without stopping.

didn’t stop until the small door at the end.

The door opened as soon as it was pushed. It was a utility room with large and small boxes piled inside, without even a place to stay.

The police just searched and confirmed that no one was inside.

But at this moment, Chen Wei stood hesitantly at the door, not daring to go in any further.

"There is actually a basement inside.

I frowned and looked at him, "Then why didn't you say that just now."

"Before I took over this house, the landlord opened a milk tea shop. The business was not doing well, so she rented it to me. She was worried about it. The room was small, so I secretly dug two meters into the ground and made a small cellar. However, this thing was not legal, so I didn’t dare to use it. Over time, I forgot about it. There couldn’t really be anyone here. ? "

he asked me with a sad face.

This is difficult to do.

I hissed, but still asked him, "Let's see what's going on here. How do we get in?"

Chen Wei gritted his teeth and moved the box when he heard this.

unfamiliarly pushed open the two boxes of beer in the center, then lifted up the carpet, revealing a wooden door embedded in the ground.

The wooden door is heavy, so we worked together to push it open.

Through the light of the corridor, I could see clearly that there was a narrow staircase leading down.

Chen Wei and I looked at each other and walked down the stairs one after another.

Chen Wei turned on the light in the basement. Only then did I see that the space below was not small. The wallpaper was soft, the shelves were neat, and there was a carpet at the end of the stairs.

is really unique.

Chen Wei's face became even more depressed, "I'll just say this thing is illegal. If I had known, I wouldn't have saved hundreds of dollars in rent."

That's not right.

"There is someone!"

My eyes froze.

The shelves were empty, and the reflection was so complicated that it was hard to see clearly, but there was clearly a figure in the corner.

Xu Wei was stunned for a moment.

I didn't care about him and ran quickly to the corner.

Sure enough.

A woman's hands and feet were tied, and she was leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, motionless, as if she had passed out.

has short hair and wears gold-rimmed glasses. Who else could he be if he wasn't Xiao Ran?

"What's going on!"

Chen Wei also followed.

obviously didn't expect this situation and subconsciously swore.

I racked my brains, thinking about how to explain it to him, but I felt uncomfortable under my feet.

Only then did I realize that Xiao Ran was throwing a mobile phone in his hand. The screen was shattered and the fragments fell to the ground on my side. You can imagine how much force he used when he dropped it.

I suddenly thought of the police phone number.

The police said that the reporter passively cut off the call...

I turned and asked Chen Wei, "When was the last time you entered this cellar."

"Last time? It must have been four or five months. I haven't done anything since I saw the house." I came in, mainly because I was afraid of being discovered and fined. "

I haven't come in for four or five months, so there should have been a lot of spider webs, but we just opened the carpet, but there was no dust at all...

It can only mean that there are people. Came in before us.

My heart sank, and I rushed over and pushed Chen Wei towards the wall.

"What are you doing, what are you doing..."

The movement was sudden, and Chen Wei staggered as I pushed him.

fell to the ground with me.

The next second, the box containing beer smashed down from the cellar entrance above his head.

Two loud noises in a row.

The cardboard box was torn into pieces, and glass particles mixed with beer were splashed everywhere.

Fortunately, we were far away from each other. Otherwise, if these two boxes were smashed down, I would be either dead or disabled.

There was a noise above the cellar.

I stared at the top. It seemed that that person had not left at all.

ignored the embarrassment of being soaked in beer and climbed up on the ground to chase after him.

The stairs are narrow and difficult to climb.

When I chased him out, only the door was open, and the cool night breeze was pouring in.

No one.

Only the bartender who was arranging the tables and chairs stood there, staring blankly at the door.

I didn’t have time to ask him, so I opened the door and ran out.

But it is now midnight, and except for Chen Wei's bar, all other stores are open as normal.

The lights are brightly lit and the crowds are busier than during the day.

Finding someone is easier said than done.

I had no choice but to go back to the bar and ask the bartender, "Did you see it? What does that person look like?"

He was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered, "Huh? Oh, I saw it. He was a man wearing a hat. Mask, no, I didn’t see the face. "

Wearing a hat and a mask...

I frowned, how can I find it?

Chen Wei also came out of the basement, looking miserable.

He was close to the wine bottle before it exploded, but now he was smelling of alcohol all over his body.

The bartender was stunned when he saw this, and was about to clean up the basement, "What's wrong, brother, the wine in our warehouse was spilled?"

Chen Wei thought of Xiao Ran in the basement, and shook his head in fear, "No, don't worry, just clean up the tables and chairs. Get off work now. I'll give you two a day off today."

"Okay."

After the others left, Chen Wei came to me and asked with a complicated expression: "Brother, what's going on?"

"Yeah, it's nothing. "

"The girl in the basement... you don't know her?"

I was stunned. Coming to the bar to catch someone raping her was not honorable. "We know each other, but this matter is... quite complicated."

But Chen Wei stared at me with a worried look on his face and had to say it.

I can only omit the part related to Shen Tian and give a rough explanation, "To put it simply, that girl is my friend. She called and said that she encountered something in the bar. She didn't say anything specific."

Fortunately, he believed it. .

"What should we do now? Do you want to call the police?"

Shen Tian's whereabouts are unknown, and I don't want to alert the snake just yet.

"Don't bother me," Chen Wei also retorted, "Now call the police and the landlord will not eat me."

I was stunned... I thought of the illegal building dug underground.

He breathed a sigh of relief, "Otherwise, I will send Xiao Ran to the hospital first, and you go and negotiate with your landlord. When Xiao Ran wakes up, we will discuss whether to call the police. Xiao Ran is the girl in the basement."

Chen Wei nodded. , "It's done!"

confirmed the solution, and then Chen Wei and I carried the people out of the basement.

Xiao Ran was temporarily placed on the sofa, breathing evenly, but unconscious.

Chen Wei sighed, "I guess they were drugged. Many of the girls who came to play were too big-hearted and had no idea of ​​protecting themselves."

"You must remember that whether you go to a bar or go out alone, you must protect yourself and avoid accidents. Happened."

His tone suddenly became serious and his eyes were staring into space. If we weren't the only ones in the room, I would have thought he was talking to someone else.

"What are you doing?"

He recovered and smiled, and handed over a cigarette, "Well, it's mainly because I've seen this situation too much, and I felt it."

I waved my hand and rejected his cigarette, " Quit."

followed his gaze and was stunned.

That seems to be...a camera?

I frowned subconsciously, and after repeated observations, I was sure that it was indeed a camera, and the shooting angle was facing the corridor.

The man who took Xiao Ran into the basement must have been photographed!

I suppressed my excitement and asked, "You can't turn on the surveillance here at ordinary times."

"Yes, the bar is full of people, and I'm afraid something might happen, so I keep it on all year round, but it only faces the corridor and toilet... Yes, we can check the surveillance!"

Chen Wei's eyes lit up, he jumped up from the sofa and hurriedly walked to the front desk, "I almost forgot about the surveillance."

I followed.

Watch all the way from the opening screen.

It wasn’t until Xiao Ran’s light pink dress appeared on the screen that I slowed down the speed.

But the light was blurry, and I could only capture a man walking into the corridor with Xiao Ran in his arms, but no more detailed scenes could be captured.

I stared at the screen, only to find that the man was much taller than Shen Tian’s predecessor, and his back and figure were completely different.

Then the question comes, who is he?

While thinking, Chen Wei hissed, "Something's wrong, your friend seems to be awake."

After he reminded me, I noticed it.

In the surveillance screen, not only was the man holding Xiao Ran's shoulders, but Xiao Ran's hands were also on his waist. If he was in a coma, how could he take the initiative to put his arms around his waist.

So since the two of them knew each other, why did Xiao Ran get drugged by the other party?

Until the taxi arrived at the destination, I still didn’t think clearly about these issues. The check result of

is not much different from what Chen Wei speculated.

Xiao Ran contained sleeping pills in his body, and he fell into a coma after taking a large amount.

But fortunately it was not life-threatening.

I stayed outside the ward.

took out his mobile phone and called Shen Tian. Unsurprisingly, no one answered.

It’s six o’clock in the morning, and it’s still dark outside the window.

But I can still tell that the white falling on the horizon is snow.

I was stunned in place.

Shenzhen, snow?

I subconsciously took out my phone, only to find that the circle of friends was quiet, which was not in line with what I expected.

moved his finger to refresh.

instantly posted dozens of pictures with pictures, and even the folks who hadn’t posted anything for a long time were lamenting the fact that it snowed today.

Tsk, it is indeed the south.

Shen Tian’s whereabouts are unknown, and Xiao Ran shows no signs of waking up.

I was not in the mood to continue watching the snow, so I turned away from the window and sent a WeChat message to my boss asking for sick leave.

took a picture of the hospital corridor and went there. The person on the other side immediately agreed without even asking about the details of his condition.

was surprised by the boss's generosity and smiled bitterly after a while. The same goes for

. With this intensity of work, it’s not surprising that he died suddenly.

After a night of tossing, I couldn’t stand it anymore and fell asleep leaning on the chair in the corridor. When

was woken up, it was already dawn.

The little nurse was holding a medical record book, with exquisite makeup, "Sir, your friend is awake."

I was shaken by her smile, and I was not sure what this person was smiling about.

could only say thank you and go to the ward.

The hospital bed was raised halfway, and Xiao Ran lay quietly, looking pale.

But when she saw me, she quickly turned her head away and looked away.

What does this mean?

I frowned and approached, "Xiao Ran?"

But she suddenly grabbed the corner of my clothes and said, "Save Shen Tian, ​​you can't give up on her, you must not!"

I just wanted to ask her about the details of last night. No matter what the situation was, she suddenly changed her face and shouted, "Go away, go away!"

The sudden change shocked me.

"Where do you want me to go?"

She was stunned for a moment, then she seemed to have made up her mind, gritted her teeth and said, "I can go anywhere, but don't say it out loud, don't let them find out, go, go quickly!"

She Wearing a hospital gown, but incredibly strong.

kept pushing me towards the door of the ward.

It was the medical staff who noticed the movement and came in to control the person.

The nurse I met before explained to me.

"Sir, the patient has been overstimulated before and is now extremely mentally unstable. It would be better for you to leave temporarily."

I walked out of the ward in cooperation, and it was not difficult to see through the glass window.

Several doctors were injecting Xiao Ran with injections. It was estimated that the injections had a sedative effect. She struggled at the beginning and gradually calmed down.

Thinking about the nurse's words over and over again, I clenched my fists subconsciously.

was overly stimulated, and she was in a stable state before I walked into the ward, so it was my presence that caused her emotional instability.

So what happened last night?

What happened to Shen Tian? Why did Xiao Ran keep insisting that I should not give up on her.

"Ding Ling Ling Ding Ling Ling..."

The phone rang, interrupting my thoughts.

took out his mobile phone.

The caller ID is: Chen Wei.

As soon as the call was connected, Chen Wei's voice came from the other side, "Zhuangzi, I was cleaning the basement just now, and I found a coat in the corner of the shelf!"

Although he lowered his voice, he could not hide his excitement. .

"The black one was exactly the same as what the man in the surveillance video was wearing. After I dug through my pocket, I found a wallet inside!"

The documents in the wallet were complicated.

If you are lucky, you may be able to identify the man in black immediately.

"What's in there!" I asked.

Later I realized that the phone was really inconvenient and I had to see it with my own eyes.

quickly changed his words, "Wait for me at the bar, I'll be there right away."

Xiao Ran spoke incoherently, and now he calmed down again. I won't be able to appear in front of her for a while, and it's useless to stay in the hospital.

jumped out of the taxi.

Only then did I realize that the bar street was particularly deserted during the day.

Many shops are not open at all, it’s like a deserted city.

Chen Wei was waiting at the door, holding a half-smoked cigarette in his hand.

"You're finally here."

"There's a traffic jam on the road. Where is my wallet?"

"This, this, this." Chen Wei walked inside, groped a few times at the counter, and then threw a black thing over. .

"I opened it just now, but there was nothing inside..."

I lowered my head to open the wallet, and after a quick glance I knew he was not lying.

Apart from a few hundred-yuan bills, there was only a business card in the mezzanine.

No documents, cards, shopping receipts... none.

couldn't find anything that could provide any clues to the identity of the owner.

Chen Wei took a puff of cigarette, "Sorry, I should have confirmed it first before calling you over. There is nothing in this wallet, and that person is hard to find... How about calling the police?"

I shook my head.

then took out the business card.

The above content is simple.

"Counselor of Hengyu Psychological Counseling Center: Zhao Hengyu"

The contact number and the location of the counseling center are printed on the back.

Seeing me staring at the business card, Chen Wei said, "Psychological consultation? I heard that this stuff is all a lie. It just asks you to go over and have a heart-to-heart talk, and then coaxes the person to sleep and pretends that he can hypnotize. It's best It's better not to go."

I didn't say anything and turned slightly to block Chen Wei's view.

On the back of the wallet, there was a price tag that he didn't have time to peel off.

used a blue pen to write the words thirty yuan.

So this is a new wallet. The new one was dropped in the basement before I even had time to peel off the price tag. Except for the business card, the only thing left in

is cash.

It is normal to put money in the wallet, but in this era, online payment is almost universally popular, and carrying cash with you has become an exception.

And the consultation center on the business card is opposite my company, across the road, and you can occasionally see the signboard when waiting for the bus.

Is all this really just a coincidence, or...

raised his head and met Chen Wei's gaze, and his heart sank.

Or is this a trap carefully planned by someone to target me?

"I'm going to this psychological counseling center to have a look.

"What are you doing?" Chen Wei frowned and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, "I won't tell you anymore, it's all a lie."

"I just want to take a look."

He "hissed" ” made a sound, but stared at me, “Brother, has something happened to you? I feel that something is wrong with you.”

“What’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong? Ever since we met last night, your face has been like this I don’t smile at all, and I’m so persistent in finding someone. Have you had any difficulties recently? Are you short of money? Or have you been cheated on?"

"My girlfriend cheated on me."

I said calmly, At the same time, he observed his reaction, "I didn't come home last night. There was a man in the reflection of the glass in the WeChat post I posted. The one who went to the hospital was her best friend. She kept asking me to save her on the phone. I also came over to find out that it was yours. Bar, you know the rest."

"This..."

Chen Wei looked away for a while, then said, "That's true... Hey, if you need help, brother, just tell me. "You're welcome."

His eyes were averted, and the surprise and embarrassment in his tone were just right.

has no flaws.

I'm a little surprised.

Does this matter have nothing to do with him?

wanted to decline his help, but suddenly thought that Xiao Ran was still lying in the hospital.

I left in a hurry and forgot to pay the hospital fee.

"Why don't you go to the hospital for me? I don't have to do anything. I just act as a family member and accompany you for a while. By the way, I can help pay for the hospitalization fee."

"Okay."

Chen Wei nodded in agreement and simply agreed. He turned around to get his coat, his steps brisk.

seems...happy?

I didn’t eat breakfast. I was so hungry that I felt dizzy, so I bought two buns downstairs in the company. After eating, I walked towards the psychological counseling center.

’s signboard is quite simple, with black characters on a white background.

There is nothing else to introduce besides this.

I stared at the sign for a while and then opened the door.

The front desk receptionist was a girl with a gentle smile. "Hello sir, when is the appointment?"

"Reservation?"

"This is your first time here. Our consultation center is quite busy, so we need to make an appointment."

" If you don’t make an appointment, you won’t be able to receive consultation?"

"Theoretically, that's the case."

heard something in the other person's words, and I asked cooperatively, "What about in practice?"

"It just happened to be that we made an appointment at 10:30. The customer is temporarily busy and cannot come over. If you need it, I can help you register. "

It's another coincidence.

My eyes darkened a bit, but I didn't show any emotion. I just said, "That's troublesome."

"It's not troublesome. I've already registered. The previous consultation will end soon. Just go to the second floor and wait for a while." 》

There is a lounge on the second floor, which is not difficult to find.

Push the door and walk in. There is self-service tea and small packaged snacks, as well as magazines and newspapers.

I was very thirsty, so I took a disposable cup to drink water.

found that the trash can was full, filled with disposable cups, and... lunch boxes.

There is an open document on the table.

"The wife cheated on her father, and the son is actually a brother. Due to the father's pressure and face problems, he could not divorce, but he continued to be emotionally agitated, suffered severe psychological trauma, and even had suicidal tendencies..."

is a medical record.

It is estimated that the previous inquirer forgot to take it.

I don’t like to pry into other people’s privacy, so I quickly withdrew my gaze.

But still can't help but sigh.

I don’t know who this person is, it’s too bad.

had just put the paper cup on the table and was about to take out his mobile phone to read the news, when voices came from outside the door.

"I left my medical records in the lounge. I'll take them and leave. Doctor Zhao, thank you so much."

looked up and happened to see who was pushing the door open.

looked at each other and I was stunned.

Slightly fat, with small eyes and a mole on his mouth, he is my immediate boss, Manager Sun Guoqing.

He was also stunned. His eyes moved to the medical records on the table, and then back to me. He didn't speak for a long time.

A question came from outside the door, it was the little girl at the front desk, "Mr. Sun, have you found your case?"

He woke up as if from a dream.

I quickly lowered my head and looked at my phone, pretending not to recognize him.

"Oh, I found it."

He quickly picked up the medical records on the table, turned around and left. Before leaving, he gave me a meaningful look, which was creepy.

After he left, the little girl opened the door and came in.

"Mr. Zhuang, the previous consultation is over, but Dr. Zhao needs to drink some water and take a break, so I have to trouble you to wait."

"It doesn't matter."

"Then follow me and wait in the consultation room."

The counselor is in the next room.

The walls are painted white and there is no decoration. There is only a desk and two chairs. There is nothing on the desk except the computer. The desktop of

is also pure white, and the feeling of emptiness is so strong that the moment you walk in, what you feel is not relaxation, but a sense of oppression.

"You can sit down and wait."

Someone spoke behind me, and I turned my head subconsciously.

is a man in a white coat. He looks to be in his forties. He wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He has a gentle smile and an indescribable sense of familiarity.

I subconsciously asked, "Have we met?"

He didn't answer, but just sat down in front of the computer, and then said, "Please sit down."

Ignorance was unpleasant, so I pulled up my chair and sat down, raising my voice. A few points higher.

"I said, have we met before?"

He shook his head, "Many people have asked this, maybe I am more popular."

After that, he took off the pen on his chest and spoke warmly, "You Did you have a bad day? It's hard to control yourself."

's tone when dealing with patients.

I suppressed the discomfort in my heart and explained, "You misunderstood. I am not here to consult on psychological problems. I want to find someone."

After speaking, I handed over the business card, "This business card comes from that person. "It fell off."

There was a bit of surprise on his face, and he pushed the business card back to me with a smile, "Sir, you may have misunderstood. For the promotion of the consultation center, many of these business cards are issued every month. I didn't distribute it myself, so..."

He is right.

But after coming here, I couldn’t bear to give up like this, so I stared at him and asked, "Then do you know Xiao Ran?"

"No."

I repeated, "No?"

He shook his head. , seemed a little helpless, "If you don't believe it, you can read it yourself. This booklet records all the patients who have received consultation."

He took out a brown-covered book from the drawer.

opens the first page, the date is today.

has only two names. The one written in front of me is Sun Guoqing.

I raised my head and looked at him, "Dr. Zhao, protecting the privacy of counselors should be the most basic requirement of the psychological counseling center. But now you are showing me the patient registration form so openly, what do you mean?"

He said Stunned, the smile on his face froze.

took a long time to speak again, "Just kidding, I think you are too tense. Young man, don't push yourself too hard, otherwise the string will break."

"If you want to reconnect the string, It takes a lot of effort, so don't be too attached to things that you shouldn't be attached to. It's right to let go when you need to."

His words had a meaning that made people feel uncomfortable for no reason.

"I am not your patient, and I don't need your guidance on my affairs."

This room was so depressing that I couldn't stay there for a second, so I got up and walked out. The person behind

did not stop him.

As soon as he stepped out of the door of the counseling center, the phone rang.

is Chen Wei.

I picked up.

"Hello?"

"I'm sorry, bro. It's all my fault for not taking good care of people. I didn't mean it. I just got addicted to smoking. Who knows, she ran away in just one cigarette. I really don't know where she went. Now."

rushed out with a hurried apology and explanation.

I heard this inexplicably, so I interrupted with difficulty, "Calm down and tell me what's going on."

Xiao Ran ran away.

Chen Wei went to the corridor to smoke, but when he came back, no one was there.

In order to find out what was going on, I turned around and rushed to the hospital. I was unlucky and missed the bus, so I had to scan a shared bicycle for emergency use.

My thoughts were confused along the way. I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't put it into words when I really thought about it.

It seems like... I've been being led around.

The thought came to my mind, like a bucket of cold water poured down my head, and it made me calm down a lot.

Xiao Ran is gone anyway, so there is no point in going to the hospital now.

It’s better to go directly to where she lives to find her.

Xiao Ran's hometown is in Hubei and she has few relatives and friends in Shenzhen. If she leaves the hospital, she usually returns to her residence, and she lives nearby.

Thinking of this, I changed direction.

But before I had ridden very far, I found construction ahead, blocking the road I usually take.

I secretly admit that I am unlucky, but I also know that land in Shenzhen is precious, and construction and renovation are going on almost all the time.

can only change the direction and want to go around by another slightly farther road.

But I didn’t expect that the turn was too sharp and I didn’t even see the old lady at the intersection.

She suddenly rushed out and I had no time to slow down.

Even if he tried his best to turn the car around, it still knocked him down because the distance was too close.

The bicycle hit the ground, and I didn’t bother to check my leg that was hit.

went over to see the old lady.

"Grandma, are you okay?"

The old lady had white hair, covered her arms and shouted in a scary voice, but when she opened her mouth, she was very angry, "How can it be okay? You hit me, your arm must be broken, you You have to take me to the hospital!"

I was sprayed with saliva, but after all, I hurt someone, so I still asked patiently, "What's wrong with you?"

"I, I feel pain all over, I need to go to treatment. Ouch ouch."

"Young man, send someone to the hospital." The person who spoke was a woman.

"Yes, we can't escape, there are so many people watching."

"I have to hurry up and check."

I turned around, and then I realized that a large group of people had gathered around the entrance of the alley. It was so crowded.

Everyone was trying to persuade me to send the old lady for treatment.

The old lady sat on the ground and grinned.

If the injury is really serious, there really is no time to delay...

So I gritted my teeth and helped the person up and said, "Grandma, I will take you to treatment first."

Seeing that I was not going to escape, the crowd of onlookers dispersed.

I remember there is a clinic nearby. It should be more timely to take first aid measures than the hospital.

The old lady sighed as I helped her walk, and asked me, "Why don't you take a taxi?"

"Grandma, let's not take a taxi first. Let's go to the clinic for a checkup. If it's serious, go to the hospital."

But not think.

After hearing what I said, the old lady exploded, "No, don't go to the clinic, go to a big hospital. Don't try to trick me with a black clinic!"

She threw me away and stood there with a frown on her face.

The force on his arm was quite strong, and it didn’t look like he was seriously injured at all.

I felt a chill in my heart.

is over, this is a mess.

But there is nothing I can do. After all, it was me who hit the person, and the other party had no choice but to cooperate if they wanted to extort money.

I sighed, but had to compromise, "Okay, you can go to the hospital."

According to the old lady's request, I took out my mobile phone and took a taxi.

I was too tired to argue anymore. I just found it funny that there were road closures and bumps into people along the way, which was so unlucky.

It wasn’t until I asked the old lady which hospital I wanted to go to, and she accurately reported the name of Peking University Shenzhen Hospital, that I realized something was wrong.

This hospital is the one I sent Xiao Ran to before.

is also my original destination.

I stopped what I was doing and stared at the old lady next to me with complicated emotions.

But I always feel like someone is watching me behind my back.

The uncomfortable feeling was so strong that I subconsciously turned my head.

However, he found a person standing at the waiting window of the milk tea shop across the street.

Beige top, black shorts, long hair loose, that is Shen Tian's favorite combination.

I stared across the road until the man turned around and revealed a familiar face.

is really Shen Tian!

Xiao Ran said he couldn’t contact her and begged me not to give up, but she didn’t answer calls on WeChat, so why did she show up here to buy milk tea?

My mind went blank and I just wanted to run to the other side of the road.

caught Shen Tian and asked what was going on.

But the person next to me grabbed my sleeve, "Young man, where are you going?"

I was impatient and wanted to find someone, "Please wait for me for a while."

"That won't work, I see you. To escape."

"Really not."

couldn't explain.

I didn’t care about the old lady beside me, broke free from her grasp, and rushed to the other side of the road.

didn't notice it. He ran too fast and ran into a young couple holding hands.

Each of them had a cup of milk tea poured on me.

Maybe he was frightened by my impatient look.

"Yes, I'm sorry, brother." The little girl stuttered.

The boy also apologized repeatedly and hurriedly took out tissues to wipe my clothes.

I stared at the stains on my clothes, feeling inexplicably irritated.

had a vague hunch that if I were slower, Shen Tian might disappear inexplicably again.

"How about we compensate you."

"Or help you wash your clothes."

"It's okay, it's really okay."

I took the tissue and wiped my clothes casually, and eagerly pushed the young couple in front of me away.

It wasn’t until I ran across the road and grabbed Shen Tian’s wrist that I breathed a sigh of relief.

But the person in front of me turned around, stared at me with wide eyes and screamed, "Who are you? You are acting like a gangster!"

He had obviously seen the same outfit countless times, but at this moment he had a different face.

Wrong person.

I was also stunned and subconsciously let go of my hand.

The girl backed away in horror, and the onlookers cast strange looks on me, but I froze in place, unable to recover for a long time.

cannot admit his mistake.

I can see clearly...

"What's the matter with you? Why are you bullying my girlfriend?" The short-haired young man punched me in the chest, his face full of anger, and he held the girl just now with his other hand.

I finally came to my senses and apologized numbly, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person. I really did. I'm sorry."

"Crazy."

The other party rolled his eyes at me, led his girlfriend away, and the crowd gradually dispersed. open.

I was left standing there confused and confused.

until someone talks to me.

"What's wrong with you young man? Take me to the hospital quickly!" It was the old lady I bumped into just now.

"Go, go to the hospital, go now."

didn't seem to expect that I was so easy to talk to. The old lady muttered and said nothing.

In the taxi, I carefully recalled the scene when I saw Shen Tian just now.

Across the road, people are coming and going.

Did I really admit the wrong person?

"Buzz..." The phone vibrated.

I took it out and found that it was Manager Sun’s phone number.

Why did you still call me when you obviously took leave?

I frowned and picked it up, but my attitude didn't dare to show dissatisfaction.

"Hello, Manager Sun."

"Xiaozhuang, you have asked for leave today, right."

"Yes, I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Okay, okay, have a good rest. I called to tell you. In one case, you are one of the earlier ones to join the company, and you already have the ability and qualifications. It’s a bit unqualified to be a content planner."

"No, no, this is leadership training."

"It’s also your own efforts, so you have experience. The company leaders have discussed that you will be in charge of the Tianjin exhibition next month. You will be temporarily seconded to help. You will hand over the work after returning to the company and go to Tianjin next week."

Tianjin?

My heart sank. The opening of

's Tianjin branch is no secret, but the new company's initial scale and capital are pitifully small.

asked me to be the person in charge. It was a promotion, but in fact, in two months, I will have been with the company for three years, and I can logically be promoted to the position of general assistant.

"But Manager Sun, I have no plans to leave Shenzhen for the time being..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the other party, "The transfer decision has been made. If you don't want to, just find another job."

The other party hung up, leaving only a hollow busy tone on the phone.

I clutched the phone tightly and never put it down.

must accept transfer.

is only available for one week.

The time for handing over work and looking for a house to rent was too short, even if we didn't consider whether Shen Tian and I lived in different places.

And I have worked hard in Shenzhen for five years. I have friends, connections, and accumulation. How can I leave just now?

This is forcing me to resign.

I held the phone so tightly that my palms ached.

But I also immediately thought of the case, which recorded the private life of Sun Guoqing that he did not want others to know.

No wonder.

I lost my girlfriend, my job, and my life was in a mess.

covered his head and leaned on the back of the car. I felt that everything I had experienced in the past two days was like a dream.

The old lady sat aside and said, "Oh, young people are so bad. It's so annoying to send old people to the hospital."

I ignored her sarcastic words and suppressed my emotions and glanced at her.

Chen Wei called, but I didn’t answer.

There is a traffic jam in Shenzhen. It’s time to get off work and the road is blocked.

is particularly difficult to block.

Register and queue up for consultation.

The little nurse handed me the registration form and said "Huh".

"You are that person this morning, in the inpatient department."

The voice was familiar, and I looked up at her. There is a familiar smiling face in the

window.

is the little nurse this morning.

When I saw her, she came out of the registration room directly.

"I'm sorry, your friend left secretly this morning and I didn't catch her."

Her eyelashes were curled and her red lips were moist. She was so beautiful that she was incompatible with that white coat.

Medical staff are allowed to put on makeup when they go to work?

For the first time, this question only came to my mind, and then I remembered that the friend she was talking about was Xiao Ran.

"It's okay, it has nothing to do with your hospital."

"Which department you want to go to, I will take you there."

She wanted to see my registration form, and her head suddenly came closer, with a vague fragrance.

I frowned and subconsciously distanced myself.

"It's really not necessary."

She seemed a little disappointed and returned to the registration room with her lips curled, "Okay then."

Finally found the corresponding department and queued up in the corridor.

I haven't had time to breathe a sigh of relief.

The old lady's face suddenly changed, "Oh, this doctor needs acupuncture to treat people, forget it, I won't see it anymore."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

But the account has been suspended. What if she leaves now and has to pay compensation later?

I suppressed my temper and said, "You are here, you should go in and have a look. If there is something wrong, I will treat it for you. I don't worry if there is nothing wrong."

"That won't work, I can't treat it."

I wanted to come to the hospital, but When I got to the hospital, I stopped seeing a doctor.

seems to be sincerely playing tricks on me.

Anger burst out. I didn’t care that the other party was an old lady for a moment. I raised my voice and said, "Just watch it if I say it!"

"Ouch, why are you yelling at me?"

The old lady grabbed me. He raised his hand and faced the crowd and cried miserably, "You bully an old man like me, but you are not a human being. It was obviously you who hit me..."

There was chaos outside the department for a while.

There was too much movement here, and doctors and nurses also gathered here.

The surroundings were noisy. My head was swollen from the noise and I almost couldn’t stand upright due to my headache.

Someone came to pull me, but I subconsciously waved my hand to ward it off.

It didn’t take much effort, but the old lady lay down on the ground, crying and accusing me of hitting someone.

The doctors, nurses and even the patient’s family members who were watching naturally accused me of not taking action.

I clenched my fists and couldn't figure out why things turned out like this.

"Zhuang Qin!" In the chaos, someone called my name.

I looked up blankly.

is Chen Wei.

He was obviously startled by my embarrassed look, so he pulled me out of the crowd and took me to the toilet.

"What's the matter with you?"

"It's nothing."

I shook my head, but this statement obviously did not have any credibility.

Chen Wei looked at the crowd in the corridor suspiciously.

I could only explain with a wry smile, "I accidentally bumped into an old lady, and now I'm being pestered."

He hissed, and then threw me a pack of cigarettes, "You take a rest here, I Go take a look."

"Okay."

I responded. After seeing the sign of the smoking area, I took out a cigarette from the box, lit it skillfully, and brought it to my mouth.

What’s amazing is that when I smoked for the first time, I didn’t feel choked.

waited for half an hour before Chen Wei came back.

smiled at me.

"It was settled. I gave the old lady 500 yuan and she left. She said she would not pursue the matter further. With so many people testifying, she did not dare to go back on her word."

Is this solved?

I was a little surprised and looked up at him.

"Thank you, brother."

"Hey, thank you for what. You helped me a lot when I first arrived in Shenzhen. You forgot but I didn't forget. By the way, you haven't eaten yet, why don't we find one? Where can I get some drinks?"

I shook my head, "No, I haven't slept all night and my brain is a bit dull. I'll go back and take a nap first."

When I wake up, I still have to find Shen Tian. Oh, and I also need to find a job.

Chen Wei stared at me for a while, and seeing that my situation was really bad, he nodded, "Okay, then I'll take you home first."

In the car, I still couldn't help but think about everything that happened today.

But the more I thought about it, the more incredible it became.

How could everything be so coincidental?

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Wei said suddenly.

I hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"I just saw my girlfriend on the road, but when I got closer, I realized that I had mistaken her, but I had seen it clearly before."

"Brother, you are thinking about things day by day and dreaming about things at night. You miss her too much. You have to look at everyone."

I frowned, "But it's not just this. I always feel that everything is very wrong since last night, as if there is an invisible one. I had to do this with my hands pushing behind my back."

Chen Wei burst into laughter.

"What you said is exaggerating. What about invisible hands? I think you just lack sleep, so you are suspicious."

"Really?"

Chen Wei knocked on the steering wheel, "Yes. You'd better go back and take a nap. Everything will be fine after a rest."

"Maybe."

When the traffic light arrived, I closed my eyes and rested.

Chen Wei glanced at me, but said again, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot something. The little nurse asked me for you via WeChat this morning. She said she was sorry for not looking after someone good and wanted to treat you. It's time to eat."

I frowned and looked at him, "You gave it?"

"That's not it." He winked at me, "That little nurse is so pretty, you are so lucky."

"But I have a girlfriend." I emphasized the word "girlfriend."

Chen Wei said "tsk", "Isn't that cheating? People have gotten back together with their exes, why can't you let go? You can't be too persistent. You have to step out when you are broken up. I think that little nurse is... Very good."

The light turned green and he stepped on the accelerator and headed straight for the road.

But I felt something was wrong, so I turned around and asked him, "How do you know that Shen Tian got back together with her ex?"

"Didn't you say that?"

"But I only said she cheated, not that she got back together with her ex." "

Chen Wei did not respond for a long time.

But the crooked driving route could still reveal his panic.

But within a few seconds, he put on a smile again and said in a helpless tone, "Hey, I was just guessing, and you told me about it on WeChat before."

I didn't say anything.

But I remember it very clearly. During the time he moved out, I never mentioned a word about Shen Tian's ex, but why would he know about it?

Everything is wrong.

On the surface, Chen Wei was concentrating on watching the road, but from the corner of his eye, he peeked at me from time to time, as if he was observing my reaction.

He must know something.

So after he sent me home, I deliberately found an excuse to trick him into going upstairs.

later pinned the person on the bed while he was not paying attention.

"Zhuang Qin, what are you doing?"

I remained silent, just thinking of ways to restrain the person.

He struggled desperately, but I still tied his hands and feet with ropes.

The rental house was cramped, and both of us were sweating.

"Are you sick? Why are you tying me up? If you have any objections, just say it. Don't do this to me... You are breaking the law!"

"Tell me what's going on."

"What are you talking about? Nonsense, have you lost your job? You've been hit so hard that you've gone crazy. Let me go quickly, or I'll call the police."

's tone and demeanor were flawless.

But I didn’t mention losing my job at all, so how did he know about it?

He really has a problem.

I ignored his anger and just went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.

is not big, but it is enough to kill people.

I deliberately didn’t explain or threaten. I just waved the knife at him with a straight face.

Then watched the expression on his face, from anger, to hesitation, to surprise, and finally to fear.

"You are serious."

His calm expression broke instantly, he ran towards the corner and shouted uncontrollably, "Director, I won't shoot, I won't shoot, this is not in the script, this is a lunatic!" "

is completely different from his calm demeanor before.

followed his line of sight and looked over.

There is a small hole in the corner.

was accidentally broken by Shen Tian when she was hanging the photo frame.

I hadn’t noticed it before, but now I looked carefully and realized that the hole had become much larger, with a small piece of glass embedded in it.

pinhole camera.

My heart sank, I raised my kitchen knife and smashed it towards the camera.

But almost at the same time, the door was pushed open.

"Stop! Zhuang Qin."

A middle-aged man wearing a hat and jacket ran into the house, and a large group of people with different looks blocked the door.

But I clearly locked the door.

"Who are you? How did you get in."

The man didn't answer. Instead, he took the rolled paper and hit Chen Wei on the head.

"You didn't hear what I said. He won't really do anything. He just got suspicious and is testing you."

Chen Wei huddled on the ground in embarrassment, with tears on his face, "But that's a kitchen knife. Director, he is crazy, he is really crazy, and when you came to me, you didn’t say there was such a plot. "

What are they talking about?

I stood there and stared at them, as if I was watching a ridiculous farce, and I couldn't figure out the plot.

Suddenly, an idea came to my mind.

I pushed through the crowd and walked out.

Sure enough, he saw the door of the next room open.

Originally, I had the impression that there was only a single room for one boy, but in fact it was horribly spacious.

is not at all the rental house that I imagined with only a dozen square meters.

Computers, cameras, dressing tables...and all kinds of unnamed shooting props.

My girlfriend "Shen Tian" is sitting in front of one of the dressing tables, holding a mobile phone in her hand.

When she saw me walking in, she froze on the spot, with an expression on her face as if she had seen a ghost.

A huge screen hangs in the center of the room, and there is a replay of the scene where I bumped into someone on the road this morning.

There are countless bright monitor screens, but the scenes on the screens are all very familiar to me.

My room, the company's office, on the way to and from get off work, the cafes and restaurants I often visit...

I swallowed.

Suppressing my emotions and trembling hands, I picked up the huge poster on the table.

I recognized it at a glance. The figure running wildly with his back to the camera belongs to me.

On February 1, 2030, "Life" will be released in the New Year!

Life is like a play, and play is life!

The Chinese version of "The Truman Show" has launched with shock.

The well-known director Zheng Guowei and a professional team are responsible for the production, and many veteran actors have joined in, trying their best to create a strong sense of substitution.

bold Chinese.

I knew every word, but when they were put together, I suddenly couldn't understand them.

My life is just a drama?

When did it start? Or should I say, it was fake from beginning to end... There was a sharp pain, and I slowly squatted down holding my head.

was pulled up.

That man was wearing a white coat and was the attending doctor at Hengyu Psychological Counseling Studio.

He smiled at me and I lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, the chaotic memories in my mind made me almost breathless.

It turns out that I am not Zhuang Qin.

My name is Zhao Li. I am a little-known bit-part actor. Although my appearance is okay, my acting skills are lacking.

’s mother is seriously ill and needs a large sum of money for surgery.

Just when I was so worried that I even came up with the bad idea of ​​selling my kidney, Zheng Guowei came to me.

He is a well-deserved famous director, a crazy actor, and he is also famous for his strict requirements.

So I couldn't believe it for a long time that he was really willing to ask me to act.

But he did give me a contract to play the male lead. He was willing to pay me a salary far exceeding that of an A-list star, and he could also pay some money in advance to help my mother undergo surgery.

's only requirement is: I want to undergo hypnosis.

is not acting.

becomes instead.

covers up his memory, becomes another person completely, and "acts" with his true reactions.
