67: Deliberate exposure
…
Shopping malls, outdoor cafes.
Yan Yu changed his hairstyle again, wore a neat suit, played with his keys in a boring way, looking at the streets, squares, passers-by with unfocused eyes... as if he was in a daze.
Manli stirred the coffee elegantly and followed his gaze, not knowing exactly what he was looking at: "According to your current popularity, you should hide. Why are you here?"
Thanks to all the things Yan Yu has done, the city's management is now becoming more stringent.
From time to time there are heavily armed soldiers patrolling the streets, and at regular intervals there are commercial vehicles loaded with monitoring equipment, and there are countless plainclothes people mixed in with the crowd.
Because of the existence of these people, there are fewer pedestrians walking on the street, which adds a bit of coolness to the already lonely autumn and winter.
After all, no one likes to be walking down the street and suddenly being pushed to the ground and forcibly searched.
"Because there are many cameras here."
Yan Yu came to his senses and added two sugars to his coffee with a smile. This is the largest commercial plaza in the city. Before the financial crisis, every inch of land here was very valuable.
Unfortunately, what I see now is that many shops have sublease signs hanging at the door. Even if they are open for business, they are all with the slogan of clearance.
Manli showed her perseverance and asked: "Why are you looking for a camera?"
Yan Yu lit a cigarette and looked up at the tall buildings in the distance: "I have to give people a chance. I also want to take the opportunity to go shopping and refresh myself."
Manli held her hands and said calmly: "As you said, your purpose of dragging me out is not only to expose me intentionally, but also to give the other party an illusion and make them mistakenly think that we have a close relationship?"
When she said this, she showed anger on her face, her beautiful eyes narrowed with a cold light: "You are using me as bait."
"But you're not in danger."
Yan Yu was not too surprised that she could see this clearly.
After all, she is a future Valkyrie, and she is also a highly educated social elite and an experienced psychiatrist. She is much better than ordinary people in every aspect.
When Manli heard this, she couldn't help but sneered: "It's not you who was the bait..."
Yan Yu interrupted her and said, "I also need to go to where your uncle went. There is something I want there, so you won't die before that.
The other party’s purpose is to capture me, not to kill me, so I’m going to use your presence to set up a trap for them, lure these rats out and deal with them, and then we can leave.”
Manli's pretty face changed again and again, and she clenched her teeth and sarcastically said, "You are so confident that you are not afraid of capsizing in the gutter?"
Yan Yu smiled and asked, "Have you ever seen me capsize in the gutter?"
"..."
Manli was finally speechless, because Yan Yu was right, he seemed to have never capsized so far...
"I need to know the specific plans."
"No need, you come out with me today and you have already completed everything you have to do."
Yan Yu looked at her tenderly, picked up a tissue and wiped the corner of her lower lip. Under Manli's creepy gaze, he turned his head and whispered in her ear: "Get your things ready and be ready to go at any time."
"Ah, na..."
Manli opened her mouth subconsciously, and her body was mechanically lifted up by Yan Yu like a puppet, letting Yan Yu hold her waist and walk towards the underground parking lot.
Yan Yu's hands are very hot.
Manli's heart was very cold.
She is afraid!
Recalling Yan Yu's demeanor when he spoke just now, whether it was his tone, eyes, expression... everything he showed seemed to be Manli's boyfriend.
This kind of natural emotional control, natural changes in temperament, unobtrusive expressions, and tone changes are the source of fear in Manli's heart.
Although Yan Yu is now the template of a perfect boyfriend in the eyes of others, Manli feels uncomfortable all over, as if there are poisonous snakes wrapped around her body, which makes her shudder.
As the car door opened and Yan Yu's hands left her slender waist, Manli's body suddenly softened and she subconsciously held on to the roof of the car to stand still.
"Are you OK?"
Yan Yu quickly picked her up, took Manli into his arms, put his lips close to her ears, and murmured in an undetectable voice: "There is a bug in the car, and your part will be over when you get home."
"
Pulling the corner of her lips, Manli kissed him on the cheek and said with a smile: "I've been sitting for a long time and it's a little uncomfortable. You should drive and I'll take a rest."
"OK."
Yan Yu nodded in agreement, and when she sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt, she started the car and left slowly.
——
Just a few minutes after they left, a black business car parked diagonally opposite. The door was gently pushed open, and several men and women dressed in different clothes walked out from the back of the car.
Hawke took off his sunglasses and stared at the video with a frown: "This is Yan Yu? That woman should be Manli, right? When did the two of them get together?"
Casey leaned against the car door and said calmly: "It should be about Tom's incident. The information said that Yan Yu didn't know what conditions to use, so he persuaded Manli to help when they first met. Now it seems there is something wrong with it.
"
Hawke thought for a while and asked, "What do you think of the relationship between these two people?"
"Lover."
The companion replied firmly: "It's impossible that Manli didn't know about Yan Yu's troubles. She took him in under such circumstances. This is by no means an ordinary relationship."
Casey suddenly handed him the phone and said excitedly: "Boss, I found a good opportunity."
"What?" Hawke took it.
Casey said: "Yan ordered a large bed today."
Hawke narrowed his eyes: "The mall will send people to transport such large goods. We can pretend to be transport workers, but how do we get Manli to sign for it in person?"
Casey chuckled: "It's simple, he swiped Manli's card."
"That's easy."
Hawke's eyes were filled with joy and he said with a smile: "Make sure I sign for it, and then take the opportunity to hold Manli hostage. In this way, Yan Yu can be captured alive without much effort."
Casey patted his chest proudly and said, "If you complete the task so quickly, the BOSS will definitely pay attention to you, captain, and maybe he will transfer us back."
"Pay attention to?"
Hawke's smile froze, and his joyful mood dissipated a lot.
"I'm sorry, Captain, I said the wrong thing." Casey noticed the change in his mood and apologized quickly.
"no next time."
Hawke hummed, turned around and clapped his hands, attracting the attention of other members, and said loudly: "Start checking the equipment now and set off in thirty minutes."
"Yes, boss~"
"OK."
——
When the hands point to five o'clock in the afternoon.
Manli walked out of the bedroom, wearing silk pajamas, with naughty shoulder straps hanging on her arms, revealing a large area of white welfare.
She came to the sofa in a daze, sat down on Yan Yu, and said: "I just received a call. The bed delivery worker will be here in a minute."
"...You are so heavy."
