A few minutes of conversation was enough for Wan Guohou to grasp the information he wanted to know. He declined Boss Yue's invitation, who desperately wanted to go with him to the office for another pot of tea. "Another day, when you're not busy, I'll bring rinses again. Wan Guohou consciously changed the pronunciation of "Susu", but Boss Yue did not correct it, "Of course it's good, no problem, no problem!

After seeing another guest call Boss Yue away, Wan Guohou settled the account in cash, and then sent a message to Yue Shuluo. "Don't pack, just go, I'll wait for you outside the courtyard gate. Then he hurried to the door, hiding in the shadows of the doorpost.

The moon gargle came out quickly. As she passed the cashier near the door, the cashier girl looked at her a few more times, and then stopped talking.

Wan Guohou waited until the back of the moon disappeared outside the courtyard gate, and then glanced at his watch: 10:45. He looked up at the moon looming in the clouds, and walked out slowly.

"Master Hou!" Yue Shuluo immediately greeted her, "Why are you alone? Didn't you call K1 them?"

"I was mistaken, I wasn't from the Unkind Society, so I didn't call them out. Wan Guohou said casually, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." ”

"It doesn't matter. Yue Shuluo whispered, "Then let's go back now?"

Wan Guohou shook his head, "I rarely eat such a heavy taste, and my stomach is a little uncomfortable, probably because of indigestion." Are you cold? Can you walk with me?"

"Is this around?" Yue Shuluo hesitated, "Could it be that the environment is not good?" ”

"Go over there. Wan Guohou pointed to the T-junction not far away, "There seems to be a community there, and the law and order should be okay." Seeing that Yue Shuluo was still hesitating, he said half-jokingly, "With me as a bodyguard, what are you afraid of?"

Yue Shuluo smirked, "Then let's go, indigestion bodyguard." ”

Both of them were wearing thick long coats, and with the temporary absence of wind, it was not too difficult. It's just that away from the restaurant and bar street, the closer you get to the neighborhood, the quieter the environment becomes.

Wan Guohou didn't talk much, and Yue Shuluo observed his words and looks, and also remained silent, walking slowly for a while, and only the footsteps of the two of them and the sound of cars passing by from time to time could be heard on the road.

"Be careful!" Yue Shuluo suddenly gently pulled Wan Guohou, "There is dog shit on the road here, and the street lights are relatively dim, you look at it." ”

Wan Guohou slowed down, "I didn't pay attention. Are you familiar with this area?"

At this moment, a sharp dog bark startled him, and it turned out that someone had come out to walk the dog. The two looked at the listless uncle who seemed to have been kicked out by his wife, then looked at each other and laughed in unison. The laughter was like an invisible hand, clearing the fog that lay between them.

"Master Hou, I still want to explain a little about tonight's events. Seeing Wan Guohou nodding, Yue Shuluo continued. "Actually, I went to Nanjia, it was really a temporary decision. To tell you the truth, I intuitively feel that it is not a good thing to get too close to Nan Zeyu in private. ”

Wan Guohou smiled slightly and did not speak.

"It's not that he doesn't do me any good. Or even if he has anything to do with me, you don't have to worry. The speed of Yueshuluo's speech was not fast, but every word seemed to carry emotion, "I think he has a relationship with those RB people...... Makes me care. But what worries me the most is his attitude towards Pennington. ”

"What's wrong with his attitude?" Wan Guohou asked curiously.

"I don't know how to say it, it seems to ...... He was a little afraid of Pennington. "Exactly, I think he has something to ask for Pennington." ”

"How much do you know about the Unkind Society?" Wan Guohou asked.

"Not much. Yue Shuluo said a little embarrassed, "I know that they are all RB people, they are underworlds? Maybe they have a legal business cloak? Besides, they have a grudge against you." Pennington was their enemy. Of course......" she hesitated for a moment, "it's mine too." ”

Wan Guohou bowed, "Yes, he almost killed you." ”

"No, it almost killed you. When she said this, there was a tremor in Yueshuluo's voice.

The old street lamp stretched the dim light obliquely, and fell on the body of the moon, as if she was clothed with a weak coat. The night breeze gently blew her long hair that was scattered, curling countless fine ripples, and gently brushing on the heart of Wan Guohou. He swallowed back the words of concern, and just whispered, "In the future, don't do anything like that again." ”

"I listen to you. Yue Shuluo nodded, and continued. "I didn't know Pennington, but I knew that he had to be a key man. Because he is both your enemy and the enemy of your enemy, and Nan Zeyu is so jealous of him, it means that he must have some kind of extremely important information, so that the Buren Society can't kill him. She hesitated for a few seconds, as if she was juggling her words, "Perhaps, you'll have to find him before the Buren Society." ”

"So you went to see Nan Zeyu with a crazy heart, because you want to find out the whereabouts of Pennington?" Wan Guohou thought it was a little funny, but he didn't laugh out loud. "Even if Nan Zeyu knew how to find Pennington, why would he tell you? What's more, if I'm not mistaken, the last time Pennington appeared was almost four months ago. Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Is there any reason?"

"I said you weren't allowed to laugh at me. "I had a nightmare that I dreamed that he and you were both ......" Her face turned a little pale, and her voice gradually became quieter.

"Are we both dead?" Wan Guohou laughed. On this cold and secluded night, his laughter was especially loud.

"Master Hou!" Yue Shuluo stiffened her face, "This thing is not funny. ”

Wan Guohou looked down at her with a complicated mood, "Okay, I don't laugh, but don't think about it either." There was tenderness in his tone that even he hadn't noticed, and those light green eyes were staring deeply at the woman with an irresistible firmness, "I'm fine, and I'll be fine." ”

The wind is stronger. Yue Shuluo gathered the hem of her coat and let out a sigh, "I believe in you. ”

Wan Guohou stroked her hair, "Don't worry, go on." ”

"I played a little clever trick and determined one thing, Nan Zeyu and Pennington met, just yesterday. ”

Yue Shuluo said it lightly, but it was hard for Wan Guohou not to think about what kind of cleverness she was playing. He thought about it for a few seconds, knowing that Yue Shuluo would probably not answer positively, so he gave up dwelling on this point.

"Why don't you ask me what tricks I've played?" Yue Shuluo smiled suddenly, "I'm waiting for you to ask, I'm almost suffocating." ”

There was complete trust and relaxation in her coquettish tone, and Wan Guohou couldn't help but laugh when she heard it. "Well, wise lady, what did you do?"

"Drinking, alcohol relaxes the nerves. He doesn't drink as much as I do, and if I drink more, I'll lose my vigilance, and then I'll hint at it with the fact that New York has taken care of him, and that's it. Of course, it is also necessary to release a little information that is easy to bring illusions. Yue Shuluo said with a little disdain, "I heard that he came out of the police academy, a public security chief, he couldn't beat a seventy or eighty-year-old man, and he was injured." ”

"Nan Zeyu is injured?" Wan Guohou showed a surprised expression, "They fought last night?"

I don't know the details, in short, Pennington ran away, and Nan Zeyu was very annoyed. Yue Shuluo replied.

Wan Guohou pondered for a moment, "It's okay to tell you, there are my people outside the Nan family, but I won't send people to keep an eye on most of his actions." First, Nan Zeyu has a strong sense of anti-investigation, so I don't need to do this; second, there are people from the Unkind Society watching behind him, and I will know about his important situation sooner or later. ”

"The people of the Unkind Society are also staring at Nan Zeyu?" At this time, it was Yue Shuluo's turn to be surprised, "Why? Aren't they on good terms?"

"Because the unkind society doesn't worry about him. Wan Guohou said lightly.

Yue Shuluo was surprised, "Then they still use him?

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Wan Guohou said, glancing around casually. At this moment, they had walked most of the street and came to the outside of a street-facing community. The floors of this building are not high, only 6 floors at most, but they are all slab structures, and they are not dense.

Yue Shuluo suddenly became nervous, she looked at Wan Guohou cautiously, "Master Hou, I'm a little cold, shall we go back?"

Wan Guohou pretended not to see her intention to ask for help, "But my stomach is still a little swollen." Why don't you go back to the car first, and I'll go for a walk?"

"How can that be done!" Yue Shuluo said hurriedly, "As a subordinate, it is not in accordance with the rules to do things like this. ”

"I'm just your employer, not your elder, and you don't need to be respectful in everything. Wan Guohou said calmly, "Although I don't like my people to hide and deceive me, I can't change the choices of others. ”

"Master Hou!" Yue Shuluo was extremely aggrieved, "I ......" She suddenly saw someone on a building facing the street walking to the balcony to smoke. This ordinary image whipped on her like a whip, so that she "flicked" to the left side of Wan Guohou without hesitation. Her movements were swift and direct, even with a rare hint of recklessness.

Wan Guohou raised his head and looked upstairs, only to see a man who seemed to be old leaning against the edge of the balcony railing.

"Master Hou. Yue Shuluo was so nervous that even talking turned into a whisper, "Let's hurry up, we can go around the corner in front, and there is a way back to the place where we parked." ”

"Didn't you just say that you want to follow my rules, and now you are in a hurry to go back alone?" Wan Guohou continued to look around, the light of the street lamp was not bright, but it could basically allow a person on the fourth floor to see downstairs clearly. He allowed the moon to hide in embarrassment, and stared curiously upstairs, as if he was afraid that the man would not find him.

"Take me back, I'll tell you what I'm hiding. Yue Shuluo grabbed Wan Guohou's sleeve and said. Her pink sheepskin gloves were so thin that they could almost make Wan Guohou feel her cold fingers when they touched them.

Wan Guohou was unmoved, "I'll take you back to the crown for almost a year." Isn't it required that you be as loyal as Poker Men, but you can't do the most basic honesty?"

"Master Hou, you have misunderstood. I ......" Yue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the fragility in her eyes was like soaking wet night dew. "That person is my cousin-in-law, I beg you, take me away quickly, let him see you, and it will be a big trouble. She didn't care about etiquette, and directly grabbed Wan Guohou's hand, "Quick." ”

Wan Guohou was almost dragged off the street by the moon. As soon as the two turned the corner, Wan Guohou immediately stopped. "Is your cousin-in-law a murderer?

"I'm not afraid of him, I'm afraid of trouble. Yue Shuluo sighed, "It's not a glorious thing, if it weren't for you asking, I really wouldn't say it." ”

This opening remark of retreating as advance did not "bluff" Wan Guohou. "Well, so, if I hadn't found out, you wouldn't have said that your cousin had opened a thriving restaurant. ”

Yue Shuluo was stunned. After a few seconds, she said with a slight squeamishness, "Then you pretended not to know at first." ”

Wan Guohou was noncommittal.

"Huanxi Dai Wei was indeed opened by my cousin before, and that was all the financial resources for her and my cousin-in-law. Yue Shuluo's voice contained infinite nostalgia, "My cousin's name is Yue Youhuan, and my cousin's husband's name is Geng Jianxi." Rejoicing is their name. ”

"Yue Youhuan, what a good name. Wan Guohou muttered, "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny." ”

"I loved the name when I was a kid. Yue Shuluo said bitterly, "When I grew up, I realized that this name means the impermanence of life." She rubbed her cheeks with her gloves, and the street lights cast on her face, revealing only a snow-white patch. Her eyes darkened, as if she had traveled into a dull gray memory.

"My cousin had cancer, so she sold the store in order to cure the disease, and she took over from our own family, but she was not related to me by blood, he was a relative of my cousin's sister-in-law. ”

Wan Guohou nodded, "The current shopkeeper is him?"

"Yes. Yue Shuluo stared at the staggered floor tiles on the sidewalk, "He actually likes Aunt Cousin a little, and I think Aunt Cousin may know about it, but it's a ...... I was young and didn't understand a lot of things. In short, my cousin didn't discuss it with her cousin-in-law, and she insisted on going her own way. ”

"But she sold the store to survive because she had cancer, isn't it her fault? And how can you be sure that she must have cheated on the store for the sake of the store?" Wan Guohou reminded, "I listen to you, you and your cousin-in-law are blaming her?"
