Although there is snow in the winter in Qucheng, the weather is not as cold as in the north.

On the streets of Qucheng, there are still many people who come out to walk, or two or three or three or five people walking in groups, most of them are young people.

Lianjia Restaurant has arranged hot pot seats on the first floor, attracting many young people to come and taste the food.

Eating hot pot in winter is a good enjoyment.

There are also a lot of private rooms on the first floor, and each box is very lively.

Gathering with family and friends, of course, singing and laughing is indispensable.

A private room in the northeast corner of Lianjia Restaurant is different from other private rooms, although there are people inside, but there is no sound of speech except for the sound of eating.

Even the waiters rarely passed.

Under the influence of the noisy hall on the first floor, this was not noticed either.

There were four people seated in the box, each with no expression on their faces.

Facing the door of the box was a fat man, who only knew how to bury his head in eating, and from time to time he would pick up the beer next to him and blow a few sips on the bottle.

On his right hand is a man in his thirties, who looks polite and meticulous in eating, and at this time, he is wearing disposable gloves in both hands, holding a bright red prawn peeling.

Opposite the fat man, there is an ordinary-looking woman, but her temperament is very sharp, she doesn't look like an ordinary woman, she is like a waiter, putting the ingredients around her into the pot.

The last one was a middle-aged man with sunglasses, who had been smoking a cigar, not eating or drinking, as if he had been staring at the mandarin duck pot on the table.

"Are you sure?" the middle-aged man finally spoke.

It was the first thing they said when they sat down.

The other three didn't look up, but the woman replied while flipping the ingredients in the pot with a spoon: "It's basically confirmed, he is indeed injured!"

"The recipes sent to various places to solicit medicinal materials are secretly transmitted in the form of writing!"

After listening to the answer, the middle-aged man took a deep puff of his cigar and said, "Didn't you say that he came out today?

This time it was a polite man who answered, and after he gave the peeled prawns to the fat man and the woman respectively, he looked up and said: "He went to several pharmacies, purchased some high-quality medicinal materials, and also went to a Chinese medicine hall, and asked an old Chinese medicine doctor for some problems in dredging the meridians, and finally went to Qu's house, and never came out again!"

"Qu family?" The middle-aged man frowned, exhaled a puff of smoke, and thought for thought.

After the temperamental woman was done, she put down the spoon and asked puzzledly, "Is it necessary for us to be so jealous?"

The middle-aged man put down the cigar, picked up the chopsticks, pinched a piece of hairy belly, and skillfully dipped the sauce in the small bowl, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

The others seemed to be stunned when they saw the middle-aged man eating, but this state did not last long.

The middle-aged man replied while eating, "What do you think, what is Lian Zhanlin's strength?"

"Great, but it's far worse than me!" replied the fat man without raising his head.

The well-mannered man and the temperamental woman did not speak, and certainly did not deny it.

"Then do you think that a person who can make a strong man like Lian Zhanlin surrender willingly will be a simple person?" the middle-aged man said very casually.

He spoke more like a parent, not wanting to discuss things at all.

The well-mannered men and women heard the words and thought for themselves.

"Perhaps...... It's because they're already close, either as a master and apprentice, or as a brother!" guessed the well-mannered man.

"These are all rumors on the Internet, do you believe them?"

"Before entering the Heaven and Earth Group, I had a nanomask that only the military could have. ”

"In the first Battle of East Lake, Kunsha was easily crushed, and in the second Battle of East Lake, more than a dozen Deadpools of the Qiu family were killed. ”

"Even has a lot to do with the Qin family in Xizhou, you say, is it reasonable to focus these things on a teenager?"

The middle-aged man looked at the three of them very seriously this time.

After hearing these words, even the fat man who was immersed in eating stopped.

"Boss mean, these are not the work of one person?" asked the fat man curiously.

As for the fat man's words, the other three people didn't hear it, and then ate.

The woman ate two small steamed buns and continued: "Then, are we going to give up!"

"Give up?" The middle-aged man said solemnly: "We have been waiting for a month, and in another month we will have a winter vacation, and after the winter vacation, those people still don't know where to send that little girl, and when the time comes, we still have a chance?"

"Anyway, just today. The middle-aged man put down his chopsticks, looked at the fat man and said, "You are at the door of Qu's house, as long as he appears, whether he is really injured or not, take him down first." ”

"The boss's interest in him is not lower than that girl at all!"

"Well, don't worry, there will be no problem!" replied the fat man, with something in his mouth.

The middle-aged man turned to the polite man and said, "You are optimistic about Qilang Mountain, I am worried that he may come out of his shell and return there again." ”

"Yes!" replied the man.

The middle-aged man finally looked at the woman and said, "You still stay near the school, as soon as that car appears, notify us immediately." ”

"And I'm here in ambush, this opportunity is not to be missed!"

"Yes!" replied the woman.

After that, the four of them did not speak again until they had eaten all the ingredients.

Walking out of Lianjia Restaurant, the other three left, and the middle-aged man came to the shore of East Lake.

He looked down at the East Lake, looked at the East Lake that surrounded most of Qucheng, stared at the thin ice on the surface of the lake and said, "I hope that today's East Lake, there will not be too many deaths!"

......

"Braised eggplant, vegetarian fried broccoli, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried beans, West Lake beef soup!" Zhao Yan looked at the dinner that Qu Shengnan prepared for him, and his appetite was great.

Although they are all vegetarian dishes, they look full of color, flavor and flavor, which makes Zhao Yan very satisfied.

"I really can't imagine that you, a female man, still have such good cooking skills?" Zhao Yan muttered.

"Master!" Qu Shengnan said unhappily: "How can a master praise an apprentice like this." ”

"Am I not gentle and enthusiastic enough?" Qu Shengnan asked pretending to be a daughter and twisting.

"It's hot, it's just a little hot!" Zhao Yan replied very seriously.

"Master, I'm angry!" Qu Shengnan pouted, forcibly pretending that the little girl was angry.

"Okay, okay, you can spare me! It's still your original appearance!" Zhao Yan immediately said to forgive.

"Hmph, is it? A person's character is innate, how can it be changed!"

"Master, can you tell me what kind of woman you like?" Qu Shengnan asked with interest with a rag in one hand and a soup spoon in the other.

"Eldest sister, am I still a child?" Zhao Yan asked rhetorically.

"Child?" Qu Shengnan said disdainfully: "I don't know who it is, I saw someone's ...... that day Eyes are straight!"

Maybe it's because they've been together for too long, but now Qu Shengnan communicates with Zhao Yan, and he has no scruples at all, and he dares to say anything.

There was no shyness and squirming that day.

"Presumptuous, are you talking to Master like this?" Zhao Yan said pretending to be angry.

"Cut...... Just now I said that I was a child, and now I have to put on Master's score again!" Qu Shengnan glanced at Zhao Yan and walked into the kitchen.

Zhao Yan shook his head helplessly.

"I should have known that I should have let you be serious and have a proper apprenticeship, and see if you dare to be presumptuous!"

"Time has passed and will never return, and the past can only be recalled......"

Zhao Yan was about to eat, when his mobile phone rang, it was Lian Zhanlin's call.

"Are you here?" Zhao Yan took the phone and asked directly.

At this time, Qu Shengnan was already standing at the door of the kitchen, originally wanting to ask Zhao Yan why the ringtone was so nostalgic.

However, when he saw that Zhao Yan was answering the phone, and his attitude was very serious, he decisively shut up.

"Well, okay, you just tell them that I'm not in Qilang Mountain, and as for where I went, I just said I don't know!"

"If they have to go up Qilang Mountain, take them up, in short, you have to follow them every step of the way!" Zhao Yan said to Lian Zhanlin on the other end of the phone.

"Well, okay, that's it!" After speaking, Zhao Yan hung up the phone.

"Who's calling, so serious?" Qu Shengnan asked.

"Don't ask so much, I'll give you a task now!" Zhao Yan put down the phone and said.

"What's the matter? don't even say it to me?" Qu Shengnan said very dissatisfied.

"Be serious, this is the right matter, you go back to the criminal police team now, mobilize all the police officers you can trust, put on civilian clothes, arrange near East Lake, and pretend to be citizens!"

"Then, we must evacuate all those real citizens, and we must not make mistakes!"

Zhao Yan said solemnly.

"Master, you're not going to duel with anyone, are you?" Qu Shengnan immediately realized this.

"What kind of fight, this time the matter is much more serious than the previous two times!"

"You must pay attention to it, remember, those police officers of yours must be trustworthy!" Zhao Yan emphasized again.

Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Qu Shengnan realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately replied: "Master rest assured, I promise to complete the task!"

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

After taking two steps, he turned back again and asked with concern, "Master, your injury!"

Zhao Yan's eyes widened and said, "Don't worry, you can't die, don't go quickly!"

"Oh!" Qu Shengnan replied and turned to leave.

After Qu Shengnan left, Zhao Yan was not in the mood to taste the food, and walked directly to the position of the monitor.

There are more than a dozen images on the monitor, most of which are from the school and the community.

There are only a few on the way from Qucheng Middle School to the community.

But fortunately, one of them is facing East Lake.

At this time, a middle-aged man happened to be shown on the picture of East Lake, who was looking at the surface of the lake and muttering to himself.

It was the middle-aged man who appeared in Lianjia Restaurant before.

"Welcome to Qucheng!" Zhao Yan squinted at the man on the screen, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he had seen a friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
