After a full day of high-intensity operation, Zhou Sichen was extremely tired when he got off work, and remembered that Li Yanchuan had just called Su Xiang, and he suddenly felt less tired, and it seemed that he could accompany her out for a good meal.

"Did Madame say what you would like to eat for the evening?"

He wore his blazer while he went to get his car keys.

Li Yanchuan stood next to him and held the document, and replied in strict accordance with Su Xiang's instructions, "Madame said that it would be good to eat at home at night." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Sichen curled the corners of his mouth, and he didn't know which word pleased him, the whole person was completely different from the frowning look just now, and he was so proud that he could hang two oil pots on his mouth.

"Secretary Li, you shouldn't understand me if you're not married, right?" he coughed and said calmly: "There is a lady in the family waiting to come home, this feeling, hey, you will understand in the future." ”

Li Yanchuan: "?"

Li Yanchuan: "...... I know Mr. Xiao Zhou. ”

Zhou Sichen walked into the elevator with long legs and continued to talk with a smile, ignoring how the indifferent man next to him resisted.

"How old are you this year?" Zhou Sichen thought for a moment, "Well, it's twenty-six, although it's not in a hurry, but you have to find it." ”

Li Yanchuan is very repulsive to Mr. Zhou at this moment, if he insists on choosing one, he will still be too lazy to take care of him in the past, at least he will not stuff a lot of dog food into his mouth.

As the saying goes, forced dog food is the deadliest.

Li Yanchuan stood aside indifferently, and every time Zhou Sichen finished speaking, he had to look for him with his eyes, and only when Li Yanchuan showed a teachable look did he turn his head in satisfaction and continue to say the second sentence.

Tortured all the way to the underground parking lot, Li Yanchuan's mobile phone rang, he squeezed his mobile phone as if he had received amnesty, and reported: "Mr. Zhou, I'll go over and answer the phone!"

Zhou Sichen stared at his back and fled, frowning not very satisfied, he was still too young.

He leaned on the side of the car and waited, and by the way, he took out his mobile phone to see, the chat between Su Xiang on the WeChat page was still two days ago, and it was he who asked if he wanted to accompany her to dinner.

Zhou Sichen lowered his eyes and began to send messages.

- I'm off work.

Halfway through the typing, he paused, then deleted them all.

Every time, he took the initiative to talk to Su Xiang, this person never said that he missed him, and he never took the initiative to come to him. Shen Zhixing told him that if he likes someone, he can't wait to be by her side all the time, and it is impossible not to send messages.

Writing, deleting and deleting, Zhou Sichen was at a loss.

Li Yanchuan hung up the phone and walked to the front.

"Mr. Xiao Zhou. His expression was grim, "Li Sinian has promised to see you." ”

The typing hand stopped, and Zhou Sichen raised his head and put the phone in his pocket.

"Let's go, go to the detention center. ”

*

It was already night, Li Yanchuan parked his car on the road opposite the detention center, and the two walked across the street. After registering, the guards who came to pick them up were already waiting, and when they saw them, they came and led them inside.

"It's already past the visitation time, and there will be a trial in a few days, so it stands to reason that no one can come. The guard smiled and said, "But Li Sinian has done well in the prison, and you are the first person he has agreed to meet so far, although the old warden has said hello, you still have to hurry." ”

Li Yanchuan said: "I'm sorry for you." ”

"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, anyway, this person hasn't been here for a few days. ”

Li Yanchuan said: "The third trial has not yet begun, and there is no accurate verdict. ”

The three of them walked through the dark corridor, the sensor lights turned on one after another, the old wall paint bulged slightly, and there was a faint musty smell in the air.

"It had just rained recently and it didn't taste very good. The guard led the way in front and answered Li Yanchuan's question just now, "This case has spread too much, the second trial has been indefinite, and the probability of upholding the original verdict in the third instance is still quite high." Trafficking in children, everyone on the Internet is crazy, in this society, whose child is not a baby, public opinion is fermenting greatly, and the final verdict will definitely not be light. ”

The three of them stopped in a half-hidden doorway, the light of incandescent lamps peeking through the cracks in the door, and the words "reception room" were faintly written on the wall sign.

The guard said, "It's inside, I'm waiting outside." ”

Li Yanchuan didn't follow in, he opened the door for Zhou Sichen.

Zhou Sichen: "I'll come out immediately." ”

Because he had just passed through the dim corridor and suddenly entered a brightly lit place, Zhou Sichen squinted uncomfortably, and when he got used to the light in the room, he could see the appearance of the man behind the long table.

Because he hasn't had much contact, his memory of Li Sinian is still stuck when Zhou Chongliang was still there. The man is in a suit and leather shoes, his career has entered a rising period, and he is full of spirits and young age, and he does not judge what the relationship with Zhou Chongliang is, but the breath exuded by Li Sinian must be the kind that Zhou Chongliang admires the most.

Just like at this moment, even though he was wearing the rough and inferior prison uniform of the detention center, and the handcuffs were rattling with the movements, his gaze was steady, as if he was not in a prison at all, but in some comfortable and familiar office area.

Li Sinian raised his eyes to look at him and greeted him first: "Mr. Xiao Zhou." ”

Zhou Sichen sat down opposite, folded his legs, and said, "Mr. Li." ”

may not have heard this title for a long time, Li Sinian reacted for a while before lightly basking it, "I've been in this place for a long time, Xiao Zhou always said this, and he always felt that he was ridiculing me." ”

Zhou Sichen said: "There is no need. ”

Li Sinian nodded, "Indeed, I heard that Xiao Zhou always wanted to see me, I still didn't believe it, after all, after so many years, I haven't even climbed half a branch of your father, and you are better than him, so naturally you won't have any friendship with me." ”

Zhou Sichen tapped the armrest of the chair with one hand, and his eyes fell on him for a moment, "I thought Mr. Li and my father were friends." ”

"Xiao Zhou is always testing whether Mr. Zhou has anything to do with these things I do. Li Sinian folded his hands and thought for a long time before saying: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou doesn't know anything about me, if you dig along my assets, you will definitely dig up that welfare home, and the reason why you came to me must be because of that." ”

He said: "When people have no money, they want money, and when they have money, they want to do some good deeds to atone for their sins, so you can treat me as a sick brain." Mr. Zhou overheard that I was working on a welfare institute project, and he was very interested, so he invested a lot of money in me, and this is the whole truth you want. ”

Zhou Sichen sat in a bright light, his eyes were so calm that they revealed a little impersonal indifference.

Li Sinian looked at him and smiled, "You are very similar to him, like a mold carved out." ”

This is self-evident.

Zhou Sichen frowned uncomfortably, he hated it most when someone said that he was like Zhou Chongliang, and he said categorically: "I'm different from him." ”

Li Sinian smiled and didn't judge again.

In silence, Zhou Sichen pushed a photo over and nodded at the person above, "Do you know?"

Li Sinian glanced at it and replied, "I don't know." ”

This answer was quite surprising to Zhou Sichen.

Li Luocheng, 27 years old, from Yongxian County, his parents died unexpectedly, and his three-year-old sister grew up in a local welfare home, and later his sister was abducted, he was sponsored to graduate from college and settle in City A. ”

Li Sinian listened quietly, and his expression did not show anything abnormal.

The more Zhou Sichen spoke, the more suspicious he became, and his brows furrowed slightly. "The place where Mr. Li first started to develop his business, if I remember correctly, was Yongxian. ”

"Mr. Xiao Zhou really looks up to me Li. Li Sinian looked back at him calmly, "The missing children in the entire Yongxian County, could it be that they all went into the pockets of my Li, and if they can really do such a big business, Mr. Xiao Zhou will not see me here now." ”

Zhou Sichen carefully observed the man's expression, and he was calm, not like he was lying. After all, things have developed to this point, and it is dispensable for him to admit one more incident.

If you ask any more questions, you can't ask for any useful information, Zhou Sichen put away the photo and got up, "I'm bothering Mr. Li, if Mr. Li thinks of anything later, remember to contact me." He pushed his business card over.

Li Sinian took it, "Okay." ”

Coming out of the detention center, Zhou Sichen's expression on his face was not very good, and Li Yanchuan asked, "Did Mr. Xiao Zhou ask anything?"

He turned around and looked up at the gray building in the night, only the sporadic floors were lit, and the room where he was talking to Li Sinian just now had the lights out and was drowned in the night.

Zhou Sichen said: "No." He lifted his feet and got into the car, "Let's go back to Linjiang Villa first, and I'll take care of this matter later." ”

*

The sensor light turned on and off, and the prison guard had already walked away, pushed the door open and entered, and the cellmate who was in the same room with him had already climbed into bed to rest, and when he came in, someone poked his head out and asked, "Have you come to see the family?"

I have lived here for almost two or three months, and several people get along quite happily, Li Sinian also transitioned from these people when he was young, and there is no class difficulty in communication.

The questioner was a young student who had just stabbed someone to death some time ago, but the young man had a clear mind and called the police himself, and it was said that the family had hired a lawyer team to do their best to get him.

Li Sinian took off his shoes and went to bed, "um".

Seeing that he was not interested in talking, the man said a few more words and did not say anything more. Li Sinian pillowed his arms under his head, looking at the peeled ceiling above his head.

Li was inaugurated.

Look, it's a little different from before.

During a flight on the outskirts of Yongxian that year, he remembered that the boy was just a cowardly boy who was crying and crying. Zhou Sichen is checking him, even if he is fooled tonight, but after going back, he will definitely be able to reminisce after thinking about it, whether it will be a disservice when the time comes, making Zhou Sichen more suspicious, and he doesn't want to think about it.

The truth of what I said just now is mixed, but a few of them are sincere-

When you make more money, you want to do good.

In the early years, he couldn't live with this little boy, and the limit of what he could pay back was only here.

*

Zhou Sichen walked from the courtyard to the gate, turned the green belt and saw a crooked figure under the street lamp at the door.

Su Xiang was wearing a long suspender dress, with his hands pinned behind his back, hanging his head, bouncing back and forth, his long hair that was gently tied up was swaying behind his head, and he would raise his head to look at the intersection after waiting for a long time.

When she raised her eyes this time, she saw him and immediately smiled and beckoned.

Zhou Sichen strode over.

"Waiting for me?"

"Why did you come back so late?"

Both asked questions at the same time.

Zhou Sichen put the coat hanging on his arm for her, "After a delay in the company for a while, is it cold?"

Su Xiang shrunk his neck, "I didn't think it was just now, but when you said that, it was really a little." ”

A pair of large hands rested on his head, and he rubbed them lightly and took the person into his arms. The tip of the nose was suddenly filled with the fragrance of shower gel, grandma's, so sweet that it made people's hearts soft.

"Waiting for me?" he asked.

"Well, when you're eating—" she held her head, "are you hungry? How long have you been, have you eaten?"

Zhou Sichen shook his head, "I haven't eaten, I'm very hungry, let's go home and eat." ”

Su Xiang nodded, and babbled: "Today's dishes are specially made by me, you must eat them well." ”

Zhou Sichen was surprised and smiled: "You did it?"

"I watched Sister-in-law Liu do it. She said righteously, "It's right. ”
