Chapter 1 The Anger

Ren Xiao punched the teddy bear a few more times, seemingly venting all the anger in her heart. She got up and went straight to the bed, jumping onto it.

"Lights off, time to sleep!"

The smart lighting system, upon hearing Ren Xiao's command, instantly turned off the lights in the room.

Ren Xiao closed her eyes.

Her daily life was very regular.

She would go to bed before ten o'clock every night and get up at six o'clock the next morning to practice yoga for half an hour.

It was just that today, she was a little late in processing some information. By the time she finished washing up, it was almost twelve o'clock in the morning.

This was her personal physician's customized schedule for her.

In the past, she would always fall asleep within ten minutes of getting into bed, but today, she didn't know what was going on. There always seemed to be a strange noise in the room, disturbing her sleep.

Buzz buzz buzz…

Buzz buzz buzz…

Was it a mosquito?

Or a beetle?

Ren Xiao carefully identified the direction of the sound, but at this moment, a slight "dada" sound came from the direction of the window, like an insect hitting the glass, like a beetle trapped in a glass bottle seeing the outside world, wanting to rush out, but being blocked by the glass barrier time and time again.

"Annoying bugs..." Ren Xiao complained and got out of bed, preparing to open the window a little and let the bug that had accidentally entered her room fly out.

As for hitting the bugs?

She didn't dare.

She found the colorful juices in the bugs' bodies disgusting.

What if it splashed on her…

Just thinking about it was terrible!

Don't look at how majestic she usually was at the company, but in fact, she was quite timid.

Shua!

She pulled open the curtains and saw a "flying insect" the size of a fingertip gently hitting the glass. She gently used two fingers to open the locking switch on the window, and then gently pulled open a piece of glass, opening a gap large enough for the bug to fly out.

But at this moment, something happened that Ren Xiao absolutely did not expect!

From that gap, a pale hand suddenly reached in, supporting the edge of the window, and pushed it violently to the side, pushing the window gap, which was originally only five inches, to half a meter!

Immediately afterward, a figure drilled in through the window gap!

Ren Xiao suddenly felt a blank in her mind.

Twelve o'clock in the morning.

A pale hand opened the window, and a dark figure broke in.

At this moment, countless horror movies Ren Xiao had watched in the past flooded into her mind.

The Victim, Mr. Vampire, Ring…

But the next second, she realized that the other party was definitely not a ghost, but a real person!

Because she saw the other party's shadow in the starlight!

Ren Xiao turned and ran towards the bedroom door!

After realizing that the intruder was a person, the fear in Ren Xiao's heart became even stronger.

In the current world situation, those with ulterior motives were much more terrifying than ghosts!

Pa!

Suddenly, Ren Xiao felt a cold palm pressing on her shoulder. Immediately afterward, she felt the world in front of her twist. With a spin, her body was thrown high into the air, and then instantly fell on the bed!

Her pupils shrank. She suddenly realized that this gangster's physical strength was unusually strong!

He could lift her nearly fifty-kilogram body with one hand, and at such a fast speed. This was a ruthless bandit!

Li Tianran pressed Ren Xiao's mouth with one hand, and then rode on Ren Xiao's legs in a very awkward posture. Of course, he was not trying to take advantage of her, but to use his size advantage to suppress Ren Xiao, preventing her from resisting or escaping!

Because Li Tianran was wearing a mask, Ren Xiao couldn't see his face at this time, but she knew what she should do at this time.

Outsiders broke in, nothing more than for money. She had a lot of money!

"I'll let go of you, don't shout, understand?" Li Tianran squinted his eyes and whispered softly in Ren Xiao's ear, lowering his voice.

At this time, he had no intention of looking at the beautiful body under him. He had not forgotten what the real purpose of his trip was.

If he found out that this woman was really targeting him to avenge Liang Tianyu, then Li Tianran would have to destroy her tonight!

Seeing Ren Xiao nod lightly, Li Tianran slowly released his right hand that was pressing on Ren Xiao's mouth.

"There is money in the cabinet by the bed. All of it is not in consecutive serial numbers, and there are some jewelry and gold. You can take it all." Ren Xiao was flustered just now, but now she calmed down extremely: "As long as you don't hurt me, I won't call the police."

"You're quite cooperative!" Li Tianran sneered with a rough voice.

"My life is worth more than those cash and jewelry." Ren Xiao said calmly, "I advise you to think carefully about what I said. If you take the money and leave, even if something happens in the future, you'll only be guilty of robbery. Now the police force is very scarce, and they shouldn't investigate."

"But if you hurt me, then things will be big! I am the general manager of Tianrun Company. If something happens to me, many people will put pressure on the police. You will definitely not escape."

Li Tianran looked at Ren Xiao with some surprise.

If an ordinary woman was held hostage, she would probably be so scared that she would cry and sob.

But Ren Xiao's face did not have any fearful expression, and her words were very clear. She was indeed not simple!

But Li Tianran suddenly laughed, deliberately pretending to be angry, pinching Ren Xiao's white and tender chin with his right hand, and roared, "You think you can scare me like this? Who told you I was here to rob money?"

Ren Xiao was suddenly stunned. She thought of a terrible possibility, and goosebumps couldn't help but appear all over her body.

"I... actually... don't look at me like this, but my private life is very chaotic, I'm sick... I'm contagious..."

Ren Xiao said hesitantly.

She was really scared, she thought Li Tianran wanted to rob her of her virtue!

Since the Doom Era, many people have been forced by life to lose the courage to live, and began to frantically release the desires in their hearts. During this period, there were often news reports of women being violated, which made women afraid to go out alone after dark.

Ren Xiao felt very pitiful.

She had never even had a boyfriend. If this "gangster" took her first time, she would really want to die!

"Are you sick?" Li Tianran was stunned.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Seeing that her words seemed to have had some effect, Ren Xiao immediately nodded frantically: "I have HIV... AIDS, do you understand? Terminal illness!"

"Isn't this a coincidence?" Li Tianran suddenly showed a grim smile, leaned to Ren Xiao's ear and said, "I have it too! Neither of us should dislike each other!"

Ren Xiao was immediately dumbfounded when she heard this.

"Damn you!" Ren Xiao finally broke down at this moment, and struggled frantically.

Li Tianran covered Ren Xiao's mouth with one hand, pressed her down with the other, and then frowned and said, "I'll ask you two things, you honestly answer me, and I'll let you go after you're done, otherwise... hehe!"

Li Tianran smiled sinisterly twice, making Ren Xiao feel chills down her spine.

"I'll ask you, Liang Tianyu, did you send someone to kill President Liang?" Li Tianran suddenly changed the subject, released Ren Xiao's mouth, and said fiercely: "Otherwise, why haven't you dug out the murderer who killed President Liang after so long?!"

After hearing Li Tianran's words, Ren Xiao's eyes showed a look of astonishment. She trembled and said, "You... are you Liang Tianyu's subordinate?"

"President Liang has been very kind to me. He died unclearly, and I want to avenge him!" Li Tianran stared at Ren Xiao, murderous intent flashed: "I heard that you have been investigating the cause of President Liang's death recently. Give me all the information you have, I want to take a look!"

Ren Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that this gangster was actually a friend of Liang Tianyu, and came here just to find the murderer who killed Liang Tianyu!

"Listen to me, the cause of Liang Tianyu's death is being investigated by me and the police, but the clues are too broken... it is impossible to identify the real murderer in a short time." Ren Xiao showed a helpless expression on her face: "I am not a professional detective, I am just a businessman!"

Li Tianran narrowed his eyes, and then shouted: "You must be lying to me! Otherwise, how could you not even have a general direction after so long? At least, there should be a few suspects, right? Give me their information, I will investigate it myself."

Ren Xiao felt like she was about to collapse.

"I really don't know who to suspect, Liang Tianyu had too many enemies in Nancheng! Moreover, before Liang Tianyu disappeared, he seemed to be conspiring something with some of his confidants, but all of his confidants are now gone, and there are no records of surveillance and some information..." Ren Xiao explained: "I don't even know who he had contact with before he died. How can I identify suspects?"

Li Tianran finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

It seemed that Liang Tianyu wanted to eat the food all by himself, but he didn't expect to be too exclusive, and as a result, he didn't even leave any clues for anyone to find the murderer after his death!

Moreover, because Liang Tianyu had made too many enemies, even within Tianrun Company, no one knew whether Liang Tianyu was killed because of personal grudges or conflicts of interest...

In summary, Li Tianran was completely safe!

"Now, can you let me go?" Ren Xiao asked softly.

Li Tianran narrowed his eyes and looked at Ren Xiao. Suddenly, he seemed to hear a very subtle sound of a lock cylinder turning outside the door.

His eyes instantly became sharp.
