She didn't know when she fell asleep. She just felt that Ma Shaolong had tormented her for a long time.
In the early morning, Ma Shaolong got off Anna, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and stood by the window with his back to the bed, smoking.
His muscular body has clear muscle lines and texture, and his back is covered with scars of varying depths.
After a cigarette was extinguished, Ma Shaolong got into bed.
As if she had her own temperature sensing system, Anna got into Ma Shaolong's arms.
Ma Shaolong's rough hands gently stroked Anna's fair cheek. He looked at her slender and slightly curled eyelashes, fluttering and moving.
Ma Shaolong couldn't sleep, his eyes stared at Anna greedily, as if he couldn't get enough of her.
He couldn't help kissing Anna over and over again.
After a long while, he tossed the sleeping person again, and then he still had enough desire to cling to her and slowly fall asleep.
On a snowy night in Yangxian County, everything seemed to be calm.
So calm that there are no hardships, only those ordinary little happiness.
***
Li Jingming and Yang Lina were awakened by a sudden ringing of the phone.
The phone rang several times, Li Jingming's body moved, and he naturally pulled Yang Lina into his arms.
Li Jingming frowned, not knowing who it was so early in the morning.
Just as he was about to get up to answer it, the phone stopped making noise.
Before he could lie down, the phone rang again.
Li Jingming gently opened a corner of the quilt, put on his coat and went to the living room to answer the phone.
When Zhao Ergou heard Li Jingming's voice, his voice was heavy and he choked out: "Brother Li, something happened to the goods in the car."
Li Jingming was startled, his mind buzzing, and Zhao Ergou on the other end of the phone started crying even more.
"Speak slowly, what is going on?"
"Last night we drove to a roadside hotel to stay. We didn't plan to sleep, but after dinner and sitting with the driver for a while, we couldn't help but feel sleepy, and then we fell asleep on the table.
When I opened my eyes this morning, I discovered that our goods and the two drivers' cars had been completely burned by everyone.
Brother Li, it’s me who’s sorry for you, and it’s me who deserves to die.”
Zhao Ergou blamed himself endlessly, and Li Jingming felt a thunder above his head, which shocked him and he was at a loss.
His mind went blank, and Li Jingming slumped on his chair, lost in thought for a moment.
"Brother Li, I'm sorry. I was too careless and it's all my fault."
Li Jingming heard Yang Lina call him, and his head buzzed for a moment, as if someone had pulled him back from the edge of death.
Calm down, must be calm.
Li Jingming only had these six words in his mind.
Normally, everything goes smoothly when hauling goods, so why did an accident happen this time?
"Ergou, where are you now? Wait for me to come over."
"It's right at the first stop."
Zhao Ergou never thought that one day he would get into such a big trouble.
He wished he could die, but he couldn't help but regret that it was himself who was burned to death, not the furniture.
The two trucks of goods were worth more than 300,000 yuan. If he died, his death would be in vain. What he owed to Yang Lina and Li Jingming would never be repaid in his lifetime.
"Xu Chengye is here, let him answer the phone."
Li Jingming said calmly.
Zhao Ergou gave the phone to Xu Chengye, who now had a gloomy face and the aura around him was as cold as an Arctic iceberg.
"Brother Li."
"What exactly is going on?"
"I suspect someone drugged our food last night, otherwise we wouldn't have slept like this."
"The owner of the inn?"
"Yes, everyone in the hotel slept like dead people last night. Everyone found out that our goods were burned in the morning.
I felt that someone must be targeting you on purpose, so I looked around and there was gasoline and extra footprints next to the car."
After Xu Chengye finished speaking, Li Jingming's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. His hands on the table were clenched tightly, and his eyes were as stubborn and murderous as ever before.
"You wait for me and protect the scene. After hanging up the phone, you report the crime first. I will leave immediately."
"Be careful on the road, and pay attention when you come here to see if there are any suspicious vehicles passing you by on the road."
Xu Chengye was also angry.
The goods of the two large trucks are all made of high-grade wood, and are worth two to three hundred thousand yuan. There are also these two large trucks. The total compensation is at least four hundred thousand yuan.
Thinking of this, Xu Chengye hung up the phone, turned around and kicked the wooden door of the small hotel angrily.
The wooden door suddenly broke into two pieces and fell to the doorway with a snap.
Unbridled snowflakes accompanied by strong winds poured into the hotel, and the owner and the wife of the hotel were so frightened that they leaned against each other.
When they saw Xu Chengye's sharp eyes, they shrank into a ball.
"Let me tell you two, my eldest brother's two trucks of goods are worth 400,000 yuan. If this matter has anything to do with you two, I will pay for the rest of my life or kill you."
There were other drivers pulling goods standing at the door, and they were too frightened by Xu Chengye's murderous aura to speak.
"Before the police come, if anyone dares to escape for me, I will kill your whole family."
Xu Chengye was furious. Four hundred thousand was not a small amount of money, especially for someone like Li Jingming who was just starting out in business.
More importantly, the contract Gavin signed for the goods included ten times the liquidated damages.
This fire almost destroyed all Li Jingming's efforts in the past few years.
Xu Chengye's teeth were itching with anger. Looking at these people in front of him, he wished he could grow a pair of piercing eyes.
Everyone present looked at each other cautiously.
They all slept like dead people last night. When they saw the two burned cars at the entrance of the hotel, only a black frame was left. Xu Chengye squatted in the snow and collapsed silently.
Their family didn't suffer much loss, but his heart was heavy.
These furniture were made together by the brothers in the furniture factory. Now they are turned into a pile of ashes, which makes people regretful and angry.
What kind of son of a bitch is this that does such harm to others?
When Xu Chengye thought of this, he lowered his head and almost burrowed into the snow.
Zhao Ergou on the side stood so quietly in the snow, like a sculpture.
It's all his fault, he shouldn't have been careless.
It really shouldn’t be!
***
On Li Jingming's side, he hung up the phone and his legs felt heavy and numb, as if they were no longer his own legs.
Yang Lina called Li Jingming several times in the room. When he didn't respond, she slowly put on her down jacket and came out of the living room.
Li Jingming's face turned pale, his deep eyes stared blankly ahead, and he sat stiffly.
Seeing this scene, Yang Lina felt a little uneasy, and her eyelids twitched.
"Jingming, whose phone number is it?
What's the matter?"
Yang Lina held her waist with one hand and walked slowly towards Li Jingming.
Li Jingming finally came back to his senses. In just a few seconds, his expression changed to the usual normal one.
