A few minutes later, Pei Jiao returned to the car.

Qin Zhuoning saw that something was wrong with her expression, and guessed that Wen Qiong came to Pei Jiao to talk about something dangerous. He didn't know exactly what he said, but it was definitely not a good thing.

After Wen Ye drove away, Qin Zhuoning asked her: "Is it related to the crisis?"

Pei Jiao was so confused that she didn't hear Qin Zhuoning's first voice. It wasn't until he reached out his hand and patted her shoulder that she reluctantly came back to her senses and looked at him doubtfully: "What?"

Qin Zhuoning felt extremely uncomfortable: "Is there any news of danger?"

Pei Jiao shook his head and said vaguely: "I don't know."

Qin Zhuoning saw Pei Jiao's reaction clearly: "Wen Qiong came to you just now, presumably to tell you about the crisis."

Pei Jiao lowered his eyes: "I don't know, don't ask me."

Qin Zhuoning was not sure what Pei Jiao was thinking, so he could only deduce from Pei Jiao's reaction that either Wen Qiong also came to inquire about the news from Pei Jiao, so Pei Jiao didn't know anything now. Or Wei Yu was fine now, and Pei Jiao

Jiao knew it, so he remained indifferent.

He quite hoped it was the latter.

It's best that the crisis is safe now, and the two of them draw a clear line from now on. As for the child...

Qin Zhuoning's gaze fell on Pei Jiao's lower abdomen. Pei Jiao noticed his gaze and for some reason raised his hand to block his lower abdomen out of instinct.

Qin Zhuoning lowered his eyes sadly and put his hands on the steering wheel: "I'll take you home first."

"Don't go home yet." Pei Jiao suddenly said, "I want to go to Beike."

Qin Zhuoning replied without leaving any trace: "Isn't Beike not back yet?"

"I'm back." Pei Jiao looked out the car window, "I'm back the day before yesterday."

Qin Zhuoning vaguely knew in his heart what Pei Jiao was looking for to ask Beike at this time. He just heard that Qiong had been here, and it was nothing more than asking Beike about a dangerous situation.

Out of selfish motives, Qin Zhuoning persuaded her: "Have you forgotten what the doctor told you not long ago? You have signs of threatened abortion. You can't run around. It's best to stay in bed."

Whether he reminded her or not, Pei Jiao knew because he still had pain in his lower abdomen.

"I won't run around." She forced a smile.

Qin Zhuoning had nothing to do with her, so he thought to himself, forget it, let her go.

Half an hour later, Pei Jiao arrived at Beike's residence.

Qin Zhuoning intended to send Pei Jiao in, but Pei Jiao refused: "No, I come here often, just go in by yourself. If I spoil your fun today, I will make up for it next time."

Qin Zhuoning didn't like hearing her polite words and was so alienated that he couldn't even be called a friend.

"Don't talk about this in the future." Qin Zhuoning looked at her and said, "I'll smoke here for a while and then leave. You go in first."

As he spoke, he took out the cigarette case from his body.

Pei Jiao's eyes paused on the cigarette case in his hand for a moment, then turned around and went in.

As Pei Jiao's figure disappeared at the gate, Qin Zhuoning's car still didn't drive away. Juan's thin arm was resting on the window edge, holding one between his fingertips, and did not smoke it until it burned out.

-

Pei Jiao knew the password of Bei Hakka. After knocking on the door for a long time but no one came to open the door, he entered the password directly.

Stepping into the entrance hall, I bumped into Beike who had belatedly opened the door. Compared to Pei Jiao, who looked so bad due to discomfort, Beike looked as if he was terminally ill.

Dark circles under eyes, bloodless lips, quite decadent.

Seeing him like this, Pei Jiao had the illusion that he had gone to the wrong door.

"Beike?" Pei Jiao called his name uncertainly.

Beike looked at Pei Jiao intently for a long time, then turned around and walked towards the refrigerator: "Why are you here? You thought there was a thief."

Pei Jiao endured the discomfort and stepped in, teasing him as usual: "So you are disappointed that you didn't see the thief?"

Beike opened the refrigerator and took two bottles of soda, then turned around and threw one to Pei Jiao: "We had already rushed out to fight with the thief, but when we saw it was you, tsk, that's really disappointing."

The soda he took out of the refrigerator was too cold, so Pei Jiao quickly put it on the bar next to him: "With your fragile body, are you sure your eyes won't go black as soon as you raise your hand?"

Even though they are bitter, the two of them are equally willing to give in.

Beike unscrewed the cap of the soda bottle and drank half of the bottle. The cold soda made him feel better. He raised his hand to push back the messy hair hanging in front of his forehead, revealing his smooth forehead.

In this way, he showed a bit more spirit, at least not as decadent as he could see just now.

"Miss, what do you want me to see you for?" He turned around and went to the sofa, avoiding Pei Jiao's eyes from the beginning to the end, not daring to look directly at her.

Pei Jiao also noticed it. She walked over to Beike and sat down.

Although they were not close to each other, Beike moved his position like a rebound and kept a distance from her. He was not usually seen like this.

Pei Jiao felt that there was something wrong with him and he didn't dare to look directly into her eyes. Just now he saw her opening the door and coming in. What did that expression mean? Guilty?

She pursed her lips: "I have to come to you if I have something to do? Didn't I come here often before?"

Beike thought for a few seconds, then turned his head without looking at her: "You should come less frequently in the future. You are a man and a woman alone. It's hard to explain."

His reason was impossible to refute, and Pei Jiao laughed angrily: "Is there something wrong with you?"

Beike followed Pei Jiao and laughed: "No way, my heart is clear and magnanimous."

"Really!" Pei Jiao changed the topic extremely abruptly and asked him directly: "Do you know where the danger is?"

Beike was still smiling, but his smile was faint and coupled with his unpredictable expression, it was hard to see through him.

Pei Jiao felt that he was pretending to have a lot of worries.

Sometimes he is decadent, sometimes he is energetic, as if he is in one state and one person, and the two personalities take turns standing guard.

Seeing that he smiled but did not answer, Pei Jiao suddenly stood up.

Beike thought she was angry and wanted to slam the door and leave. He was not prepared to stay with her politely. Little did he know that she got up to walk up to him, grabbed him by the collar and asked him, "Where is the danger?"

Beike hesitated for a moment, then laughed out loud. His black eyes were clear and transparent, but the whites of his eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes.

He slowly raised his hand, pressed it on the back of her hand, and answered her softly: "How do I know where the danger is? You asked the wrong person."

Pei Jiao grabbed his hand by the collar and slowly tightened the grip, but the intensity was neither painful nor itchy for Beike.

Pei Jiao endured the waves of discomfort coming from his lower abdomen and continued to press Beike: "I want to know the whereabouts of Wei Yu. You must know."

"You think so highly of me, how come I must know it." Beike looked up at her expression and thought it was: "Are you worried about him?"

Pei Jiao wanted an answer to reassure himself, but any other explanation seemed boring, so he followed Beike's answer: "Yes, I'm worried about him."

The smile on Beike's lips froze for a few seconds: "For more than a month, you have been waiting for news about his return to the Wei family every day, right?"

Pei Jiao: "Yes."

Suddenly I heard Beike sigh, and the frozen smile on his lips spread again, but it was mostly bitter: "I went to see him."

Pei Jiao frowned: "Where?"

Beike told the truth: "Xingzhou, a closed laboratory, is heavily guarded by people from Beiyang. They keep people in danger inside to conduct experiments for them, day and night, and there is no end."

Pei Jiao frowned slightly, thinking that the crisis did not leave that day...

Beike closed his eyes with a forbearing expression: "He's in such danger, he's like a walking zombie. If he continues like this, he won't live long."

When Beike said that Wei Yu might not live long, Pei Jiao felt a sharp pain in his heart: "They abused Wei Yu?"

"There is no abuse. Beiyang needs to encounter such a person very much and will give him good treatment."

"Then why..." Pei Jiao's eyes were sore, and he wanted to ask why he still didn't live long after being treated so well...

Beike explained: "Because he knew he would not be able to come back, he would rather die there from exhaustion than be locked up in Beiyang for the rest of his life. Now Beiyang has nothing to do with him except to squeeze him in his last moments."

he."

"So that day..." Pei Jiao's voice became a little hoarse, "Is it because of the danger that I came back that day?"

Beike admitted: "Yes."

This trouble was caused by Bei Ke. He originally did not agree with Wei Yu to replace Pei Jiao that day. He caused the trouble by himself, so he was naturally prepared to end it by himself.

But Wei Yu knew that he had been taken away by Beiyang and would lose half his life, so he made a deal with him, asking him to bring Pei Jiao back first, and then find a way to save him from Beiyang.

Beike looked pained and blamed himself: "I was eager to save you at the time, but I was confused. I thought I could save you from the crisis by myself, but I overestimated my own strength. I have used countless methods for more than a month to not save you from the crisis.

When I was brought out, I only saw that side of him, and he was almost caught."

Speaking of this, Beike's guilt became even more intense: "I regretted it. I contacted Beiyang and used myself to exchange for the danger. Although Beiyang wanted me to die, he had a sense of choice. As long as it was best for him now,

I can’t help him bring it back because of its usefulness.”

Pei Jiao let go of Beike's collar.

She staggered back half a step, her expression looking even more painful than before.

At first, Beike thought that Pei Jiao was worried about danger and had a worried expression on his face, but now that he saw it, it seemed that it was not what he thought...

Beike stood up suddenly and held Pei Jiao's arm and her back: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Pei Jiao took a deep breath, trying to relieve the pain of falling: "Help me sit down."

"No, you seem to be in severe pain. Is it a stomachache? I'll take you to the hospital first."
