If the world had no daylight

Chapter 135 Are You Tired?

It was almost midnight when Ye Wan rang the doorbell.

She came in a hurry after receiving the news, and didn't even have time to go home.

Bai Tian opened the door and was stunned when she saw her dusty appearance, but the matter was important, she swallowed the words in her mouth and moved out of her seat.

He Xiaoyun had calmed down after crying for a while, she was still curled up on the sofa, looking at the TV screen, wondering what she was thinking.

Ye Wan's arrival brought the little girl on the sofa back to her senses. Seeing the man in black sitting down, she took the lead and said, "I can tell you everything you want to know."

Bai Tian poured a cup of hot water and handed it over, Ye Wan took it, took two sips to moisten his throat, and said: "What conditions do you have?"

He Xiaoyun shook her head and replied: "You saved Zhuang Ren, this is yours."

In the past few days, she has been receiving messages from Zhuang Ren every day. It is from the person who took care of him, letting her know about Zhuang Ren's daily status.

It's safe and recovering gradually.

Ye Wan was noncommittal, holding the cup, her cold fingers gradually warmed up.

Bai Tian went back to the dining table and sat down, continued to process the half-finished work on the computer, and gave them the space to talk.

The two of them had no intention of avoiding her, Ye Wan asked another question first than the things that urgently needed to be known: "First of all, let me confirm, are you and Zhuang Ren a community of interests at present?"

This term might be a bit difficult for underage female high school students to understand, Ye Wan also realized this, and changed the phrase: "I mean, are you two on the same side now?"

He Xiaoyun knew what she was asking and nodded silently.

Ye Wan didn't delve into it, and turned to the topic.

"Okay, can you tell me now, is it voluntary that you signed that artist contract?"

He Xiaoyun had expected that this person wanted to know something from her, but she didn't expect the other party to find out so clearly, so she pursed her lips when she heard this.

Ye Wan thought of something, and suddenly took out a dark blue work card from his arms, placed it on the coffee table, and moved it in front of her.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself formally to you."

He Xiaoyun looked over, and there were a few big golden characters engraved on the cover of the dark blue work permit—lawyer work permit.

She looked blankly at the person opposite.

"My name is Ye Wan, and I am a lawyer. I am willing to provide you with all legal assistance." Her voice was clear and peaceful, and seemed to contain some kind of gentle power.

Although rationally she has given up any hope, He Xiaoyun is still sincerely relieved, at least this person is not someone of unknown origin.

She answered the question just now: "I signed the artist contract voluntarily."

Ye Wan was surprised by this result.

He Xiaoyun lowered her eyes and continued: "But I later found out that this was a scam from beginning to end."

Ye Wan didn't think that this little girl was chasing the illusory star dream, and all signs showed that her character was inconsistent with this behavior, so she asked, "What is the reason that prompted you to sign the contract?"

The girl on the opposite side was thinner and petite than in the information I found, as if she would collapse if the wind blows, but this did not affect her beauty in the slightest.

Her silence this time was longer than before, so long that Ye Wan even planned to let go of the question, and the person in front of her said: "Zhuang Ren, his name is not Zhuang Ren, his real name is Li Yan."

He Xiaoyun lowered her head and said softly, "He was my brother next door when I was young."

Ye Wan paused, and the logic chain that could not be pieced together before became clear.

"So he lied to you and asked you to voluntarily sign into the company behind him."

He Xiaoyun nodded silently.

Ye Wan sighed inwardly, and was not surprised by this incident, because most of the perpetrators of the many teenage victimization cases she learned about every year were acquaintances, relatives, or even elders in the family.

But she remained silent for a long time, and then changed the question, saying: "Since he lied to you, why did you save him? Don't you understand that everything you suffered is thanks to him?"

Not far away, Bai Tian stopped his movements, knowing that Ye Wan was already angry, even though her tone was the same as before.

From high school to the present, Bai Tian has already known what kind of things will make Ye Wan really angry, especially in this regard, Bai Tian has no doubt that she will be able to send Zhuang Ren to prison after she goes back.

Even now Zhuang Ren, or Li Yan, is half dead.

This time He Xiaoyun didn't answer, Ye Wan also adjusted her extremely unstable mentality today, drank all the water in the glass, and then put down the glass.

"Forget it, I think you are very clear about the top priority. Since you disappeared from school, there have been people from unknown sources looking for you. The attempted murder that day shows that you are now in a very dangerous state. I am willing to help You, but only if you trust me and give me as many details as possible."

She went straight to the topic, and finally said in a slow tone: "You can skip the parts you don't want to say."

He Xiaoyun pursed her lips and nodded.

Ye Wan didn't want to force her to recall, so she directly searched for a few key points and asked questions one by one: "First of all, why did it rise to the level of being hunted down? The purpose of the people looking for you during the National Day is pure, just looking for it."

However, He Xiaoyun thought about it carefully in silence before answering: "I've always found this incident very strange. The person who found us this time doesn't seem to be targeting me."

Although she is not very old, what she says is clear and logical.

"When he came to the door, he didn't make a move at first, but kept staring at Li Yan."

While recalling, He Xiaoyun said: "Li Yan made the first move. He hit the man with a stool and dragged me to run outside. The man got up and chased after us. After we went downstairs, Li Yan told me to run first. "

"I was too scared at the time, so I listened to him and ran away first. But thinking about it now, Li Yan seems to have known what that person was here for, and he reacted very quickly."

Ye Wan clasped his hands on his lap, frowned upon hearing this, and suddenly asked, "Did you make an appointment with Li Yan to hide together in the first place?"

He Xiaoyun shook her head and replied, "I only found out later that he was missing, but I probably guessed where he would go."

Guessing it, I went to find him.

Knowing the meaning of this sentence, Ye Wan couldn't help pressing her forehead, and asked another question: "After you were tricked into the company, did you have any contact with high-level people?"

He Xiaoyun's face turned pale, and she replied after a while: "The art director likes me very much, and he will take me with him no matter where he goes."

Ye Wan was silent for a while, and asked, "Like a club?"

The girl lowered her eyes and nodded, and briefly summarized: "Not only clubs, but also many places, all of which are high-consumption memberships, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter."

From the perspective of the entire industry chain, this is already relatively high. Ye Wan didn't know whether he should feel lucky for He Xiaoyun, because this incident was essentially the greatest misfortune.

If her analysis is correct, this so-called brokerage company is a place to lure underage girls into signing contracts of prostitution, then train and package them, introduce them to customers through various high-consumption places, and earn high intermediary fees.

In addition to being cheated, some of them are voluntary. Conceptually, they are close to "peripheral women", but they can be called "high-end" in the entire industry chain, because the source of customers are rich and famous. They are all students with clean backgrounds.

The things Ye Wan found were limited, and only those who really knew the inside could tell the operation methods, places they entered and exited, and the list of regular customers.

Those who know these things are bound to be manipulated by the company through various methods. Threats and lures are considered mild, and Ye Wan, who is even more disgusting, has also seen it.

Either become a community of interests, or be choked by the lifeline and cannot escape, so that it can maintain operation for so long.

And He Xiaoyun and Li Yan obviously both escaped from inside.

So here comes the question, how much did these two people know before they were chased and hid everywhere, and even almost died in Huangquan?

Ye Wan pondered for a long time, then suddenly took out a brand new mobile phone and handed it to He Xiaoyun, saying: "You take this, there is the only contact number in it, during this time you can send everything you can think of to the number, there is something urgent You can also call directly."

It is easier to record in writing than to speak out.

He Xiaoyun looked at her for a long time, finally took it, and whispered: "Thank you."

It was inconvenient for Ye Wan to stay overnight, and she didn't have time, so she left after explaining clearly.

Bai Tian sent her downstairs, and the two of them stood in the parking lot, falling silent at the same time.

Do you want to bring up that matter at this juncture?Bai Tian thought for a long time, but when he looked up, he could only see her haggard expression.

The hesitation in his stomach turned into a tightness in his chest.

--are you tired?Or just leave it alone and take a break.

Bai Tian wanted to say that, but knew he couldn't.

It was rare for Ye Wan not to notice Bai Tian's abnormality.

There were too many things in her heart, and now she finally had a moment of tenderness. When she met her eyes, what Liu Da said before going back to continue the task appeared in her mind.

"Anyway, I want to see A Yuan's wedding when I come back."

The matter of the third uncle can't shake this man's heart. He is no longer the upright Liu Dui, but a stubborn old man who only has his son in his heart.

Even Wei Zheng thought she would stop Liu Dada, and then have a serious fight with him to break things up.

But she didn't.

Why would she sabotage everyone's efforts with her shady private relationship?

Ye Wan realized at that moment that he was no longer a person who could stand on a moral high platform and shout out.

Her anger seemed so unreasonable.

So I can only swallow it by myself, digest it by myself, and then ruminate the bitterness in my stomach.

Before Bai Tian seemed to want to say something, Ye Wan couldn't bear to listen, and reached out to hold her tightly in his arms.

——I'm so tired, can I leave everything behind, just you.

Bai Tian smelled great sadness from her breath, and in a trance, he seemed to have returned to the Christmas of the first year of high school.

At that time, the black-haired girl stood in the phone booth with tears falling from her chin, alone as if abandoned by the whole world, out of tune with the surrounding festive atmosphere.

The pain felt in the heart at that second seemed to be exactly the same as at this moment, and it was hard to tell the winner.

Bai Tian felt that it was so painful that his eye sockets became hot, and the scalding liquid kept falling out.

She broke away from her embrace suddenly, tiptoed to hold Ye Wan's face, and kissed it more decisively than ever before.

The other party was only briefly absent-minded for a second, and then vigorously responded to her.

It was hard to tell who belonged to the salty and bitter liquid. They hugged and kissed silently and warmly, tears slid down their faces, regardless of you and me.

Bai Tian held that hand, clasped his fingers tightly, pressed against her forehead and said, "Follow me somewhere, now."

In the middle of the night, Shi Chen, who was in a light sleep, was awakened by a knock on the door outside the yard.

He turned over and sat up on the bed, put on the reading glasses by the bedside, and glanced at the alarm clock next to the desk lamp.

At this point, who would come to disturb him so rudely.

Shi Chen took off his glasses, picked up a thick black coat and put it on himself, then got up and left the room.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, the damp fog and cold air at night made him frown. Holding a heavy wooden crutch, Shi Chen walked to the gate of the courtyard step by step, and opened the door.

There were two people standing outside the door.

Shi Chen's eyes swept over their holding hands, and looked at his niece.

The short-haired girl's nose was red from the cold, and even her eyes were red.

She pulled the tall woman beside her to take a step forward, first apologized for her abrupt interruption, and then said: "Uncle, I've made up my mind."

Shi Chen looked at her and didn't speak.

Bai Tian firmly held the temperature in his hand, his tone was calm but firm: "I don't want to get married."
