It was really because she was too drowsy, and without looking through the cat’s eye, she pulled the door open. As soon as the door opened, before she could see clearly what kind of person was standing outside, she only heard a ”clatter” sound, and in the next second, her entire body was splashed head first and drenched to the skin.
At the end of his nose, came the pungent smell of blood.
She, covered in blood … just now that person, splashed surprisingly blood …
Standing dumbfounded on the spot, she was shaking all over and her hand was still on the doorknob, gripping it so tightly that she couldn’t move a muscle.
And that’s just the blood …
She shuddered to think if the acid thrown …
At this moment, the opposite neighbor’s door opened from the inside, early in the morning to see Sammy Jones covered in blood, screamed in fear, and fainted at that moment.
Sammy Jones face no one color will be immersed in the bathtub, the entire bathtub water is stained red with blood. She was so scared that she was naked and hurriedly drilled out, shaking hands to put the blood water, after washing herself clean, and then took a rag to desperately wipe the bathtub, wiped three times in the heart of that creepy feeling but never dissipated.
She knew that as of today, her challenge was officially here! She had to be brave! All of this, but it was just the beginning!
She, Sammy Jones, was not going to be easily broken!
After cheering myself up in the mirror, taking a hair dryer to dry my hair, I put on my makeup and tried very hard to go to work at the law office like I usually do.
When I got downstairs, I met Le Mei.
“Morning.” Sammy Jones raised his voice to greet LeMay, wanting to be bright and forget the unpleasantness of the early morning.
“You’re not bad! I heard you had your first fight yesterday.” Leme took her hand and headed inside.
“You heard that too? You are not seeing how great I was in court yesterday! I was about to fall in love with myself!” Sammy Jones tried very hard to joke.
Le Mei also cooperated with a loud laugh, “Don’t you give me any more self-absorption!”
The two took the elevator all the way up, and as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, both of them were shocked by the image in front of them. Sammy Jones’ face was even more pale.
All the colleagues of the law firm were standing outside the door at the moment, staring at the door of the firm with horrified faces.
The blood on the door was also shocking.
The large word ‘death’ was like a sharp blade wielded by the Grim Reaper, as if it would take a person’s life at any time.
Sammy Jones just felt a little dizzy and LeMay was shocked, “Sammy Jones … this … this is directed at you?”
“Sammy Jones, I told you not to get involved in this mess? Now is Joey Xu trying to use something against you again?”
“That’s right, you didn’t learn enough from last time! Sooner or later everyone will be dragged down by you.”
“And don’t you say that, Sammy Jones is soft-hearted.”
“There’s got to be a limit to how soft you can be. Joey Xu, who is he? He is a gangster! The methods he uses must be dirty and nasty, if he really kills someone, what should we do?”
Sammy Jones couldn’t listen anymore and his face was slightly cold, “This wasn’t done by Joey Xu! Although he used to be a gangster, he has never used such nasty tactics, much less kill anyone!”
She retorted so firmly, in turn, making it hard for the coworker who had just said so much about Joey Xu to say anything more.
Le Mei looked at her as she took the keys to the office out and unlocked the door, “You guys go in first, I’ll take care of the writing on the door.”
Everyone went inside, Le Mei walked at the end and sighed, “Sammy Jones, it’s only a small matter if the word is handled or not, the key is still the matter of the Quartet Group case. Everyone sitting in there like this won’t feel at ease.”
Sammy Jones bit his lip, “I’m the one who dragged everyone down with me.”
“People won’t really blame you, what Xiao Qin said just now was just an angry remark, she was also frightened, don’t worry about it.”
“… I know.”
“However, I advise you to go find Joey Xu and put in a good word with him so that he’ll stop.”
“Joey Xu really didn’t make these.” Sammy Jones explained for Joey Xu. After such a long time together, she had more or less understood him, if he was really as bad as they said, then he wouldn’t have stepped in during the last time Xu Guohua was involved, not to mention the fact that he helped her to block the sulfuric acid later on.
“You trust him that much, huh?”
“It’s not belief, it’s understanding.” Sammy Jones eyes have conviction.
Le Mei nodded, ”That’s fine, even if Joey Xu didn’t do these things, then you can still go to him, he can protect you! Didn’t you guys have sex? He’s definitely willing to step in and help you smooth things out.”
Sammy Jones looked slightly darker, pursed his lips, and said, “Why don’t you go in first, and I’ll erase the words.”
Le Mei sighed and looked at her, “Come on, give me what’s in your hand, wait for me, I’ll get a rag out and wipe with you.”
Sammy Jones smiles away in relief.
Early in the morning, after two scares, Sammy Jones did not know what the rest of her day would be like. Luo Mingfan came to the phone and asked her how she was doing, she only said vaguely that everything was normal, let him not worry. And then …
The cell phone, except for a few inquiries from customers who called, never rang again.
Looking at the screen that does not flash, heart, empty, I can not say what it is like. Joey Xu’s car is still parked in her home downstairs waving, is not he should be sent back to him?
After a moment’s thought, he grabbed the phone and headed for the patio after all. Dropping his eyes to look at the traffic downstairs, he took a deep breath before dialing the phone out.
On the phone, ringing with the regular and rhythmic sound of ‘beep-‘ ‘beep-‘, Sammy Jones subconsciously gripped the phone tightly, his heart actually inexplicably nervous. Taking in another breath, trying to smooth out his breathing well, he heard a voice from over there.
“Hello.”
She was stunned, and all the tension she had just felt just now turned into loss the moment she heard Goodburn’s voice. Until this moment, she didn’t realize that she was actually expecting to hear his voice …
“Hello, is that Miss Jones?” pursued Goodburn when he didn’t hear a voice for a moment.
“Ah, it’s me.” Sammy Jones then snapped back to his senses and exhaled before asking, “Is Joey Xu here? I’d like to talk to him about something.”
“Excuse me, Miss Jones. Mr. Xu said that if you have something to say, just talk to me and it can be passed on to me.”
So …
Now Joey Xu, doesn’t even want to hear her phone calls?
Sammy Jones laughed a little, a little astringently, but in a desperately light tone, “Then talk to your Mr. Xu about when he’s going to have someone come and take his car away, parked downstairs from my house beckoning people to come and go, giving me trouble.”
“Okay, I’ll be sure to pass that on to Mr. Xu. miss Jones if there’s nothing else, then hang up first.”
“Good.” Sammy Jones really didn’t know what else to say either, and the phone was about to hang up when he suddenly remembered something and added, “Wait, Goodburn!”
“Uh, Miss Jones please.”
“The …” she coughed uncomfortably and said, “If Joey Xu wants to take the car, have him call me for the keys.”
“Okay.”
Hanging up the phone, Sammy Jones didn’t go in right away, so he stood on the patio with a tight, somewhat indescribable feeling in his chest.
The next day.
Having just been woken up by the alarm clock, and not yet fully awake, her cell phone rang at first glance. Her heart tightened, could it be … Joey Xu?
Almost immediately, he brought his cell phone over and picked it up, but, at a glance, when he saw the number displayed on the screen, his heart, which had raised, fell back. Not him, but Le Mei.
“Hey, why are you calling so early?”
No answer came from the other side, but a panicked sob came first.
“Sammy Jones … me … me here …”
“What’s wrong?” Sammy Jones’ heart tightened, a sense of foreboding rising steeply, she sat up straight almost immediately, “Rue, talk properly, tell me first, what’s wrong!”
“The blood … is all blood!” LeMay’s teeth chattered as she spoke, “Sammy Jones, so much blood … was thrown in front of my house …”
“You call the police, I’ll be right over.”
Putting down the phone, Sammy Jones quickly got down from the bed, the whole person was trembling with anger. If you want to deal with her, just come on by all means, but now you’re actually dealing with her friend, it’s simply too much!
Casually changing his clothes and carrying his bag, Sammy Jones pulls the door open and comes out.
In the doorway, another shocking pool of blood.
The man on the other side of the room pulled the door open, and once he saw the scene, he took a step backwards in fear and looked at Sammy Jones, “Sammy Jones, what’s going on with you? All this filth every day, are you in some kind of trouble? My mom had a high blood pressure attack yesterday and is still in the hospital! If you keep this up, I’m going to have to make you pay for my emotional and medical damages!”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Other than apologizing, Sammy Jones really didn’t know what to say. He had been in a hurry to get out of the house, but now all he could do was get a mop and a rag and take care of his house first. The neighbors were out, grumbling incoherently about how the place couldn’t be lived in anymore.
Sammy Jones’ heart was in turmoil, it was also her first time encountering such a situation, and she really did not know what to do. Now even Le Mei was involved, and if she went any further, she really didn’t know what she would be made to do.
Tidying up, Le Mei cried again and called, soothing her as she made her way downstairs.
When she walked to the first floor, she subconsciously looked at the public parking lot where Joey Xu’s car was parked, and for a moment, she thought that she had blurred her eyes. In the parking lot, there was no more car!
She froze, hung up the phone, and went closer to look. As expected, the car had vanished into thin air.
How was the car taken without the keys?
Worried that it was a car thief, she immediately called out, and it turned out, not surprisingly, to be the same phone call that Yoshimoto had listened to.
“Miss Jones don’t worry, it was Mr. Xu himself who drove away.”
“What about the key?”
” Mr. Xu has a spare key there, so don’t bother Miss Jones.”
After Goodburn’s words, Sammy Jones’ heart, too, sank …
The original …
Joey Xu has been here and gone …
Quietly …
The original …
Only she wanted to see him, and he, apparently, didn’t want to see her anymore …
“I know then.” Without another word, Sammy Jones hung up. Stowing his cell phone in his bag, his fingertips absently touched the piece of key in his bag.
Cold and hard …
Knocking against her fingertips, surprisingly, there was a subtle pain …
Taking it out and looking at it for a moment, he walked over to the trash can and tried to throw it away. But, in the end, the hand retracted.
Just this piece of key seems to be the only proof that she and Joey Xu ever crossed paths …
Took a cab to Le Mei’s house, took the elevator up, and was stunned when he walked up to the door. Not only was there a puddle of blood on the doorstep, there were countless dead mice and dead snakes.
Sammy Jones just got the creeps.
Le Mei was crying in pain, making a statement with the police. As soon as she saw Sammy Jones come over, she immediately ran over and hugged Sammy Jones and cried, “Sammy Jones, this is still only dead! If I were alive, I’d be dead … I don’t want to die! I haven’t found a boyfriend yet …”
Sammy Jones hugged her so tightly that not only was Lemay shivering, but so was she.
