Zhang Xiao sat in the car, looked out the back window, looked at Pete's back, and remembered what had just happened.

At this time, the mobile phone rang, Zhang Xiao habitually picked up the mobile phone and found that it was a black screen. Only then did I remember that before I came, Chen gave him an old-fashioned mobile phone, which I remember as if it was in the inner pocket of my coat. Zhang Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the taxi driver, "Master, turn on the radio!"

The driver looked at Zhang Xiao through the rearview mirror, "You young people, why can't you calm down anywhere!"

"Listeners and friends, the time for happiness is always so short. Let's end today's show with JJ Lin Junjie's "Back to Back Hug", and we'll see you next week. ”

"The words are always unclear, how to understand, every word is like a trap. The old accounts can't be turned over, who is unreasonable. Shake off the subtlety with your hands, and then the fire burns again. We hugged back-to-back, abusing silence in a roar. Love doesn't have time to grow old, and it's a joke to be buried in the beacon fire. We hugged back to back, and the truth went around in circles. Just wanted to let me know, just wanted you to know, love warning...."

When the music sounded, Zhang Xiao grabbed the phone, found the earphones and plugged them in, looked at the unfamiliar number, and picked them up carefully.

"I'm an eagle. Chen should have told you everything, so naturally I don't need to say anything. Although the above agreed to cooperate, you should know that this matter is far from being as easy as you think, and the comrades who entered it before have basically been unplugged silently, and the methods are so cruel that they are outrageous.

Saying all this, I just want to remind you that there is no turning back when you open the bow. If you haven't thought about it, don't wade into this troubled water, it's better to leave it to us. I'm not boasting, your abilities are limited, don't do things you regret on the spur of the moment. But... If I have to do that, all I can say is good luck. ”

Zhang Xiao listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, carefully drawing the other party's appearance in her mind. Although the voice is vicissitudes, it sounds very rich and old. It was hard to hear anything else, but I remembered the conversation Chen had with him in the morning.

"Zhang Xiao, we have been thinking about this for a long time. You also know the information of the Ssangyong Gang, and we have been operating this case for a long time. Ten years ago, we worked with the army to kill Qi Laoqi and defeat his drug cartel in one fell swoop. In the past ten years, the Ssangyong Gang has also been gradually eliminated with the joint efforts of the military and police.

However, recently there was news from the army that the Ssangyong Gang had become active again. Moreover, they got important clues, Qi Laoqi had a private account book when he ran the group, which recorded the connection methods and persons in charge of drug trafficking and transportation lines in various countries, as well as the secret drug production and drug dens. The Ssangyong Gang is looking for this roster, and they want to reinvigorate and revitalize the Ssangyong Gang.

Ten years later, the roster reappeared, and bloody storms were inevitable. So we decided to join forces with the troops, and their people continued to dig for clues from within the Double Dragon Gang, and we had to find a breakthrough from the people around the Double Dragon Gang. ”

"Because of the importance of this case, it has been decided by the ministry that you will be contacted. The troops reported clues that tonight, Ssangyong Gang Tian Lao Wu and Lu Lao Liu will appear at the 'Don't Go Home Tonight' bar with their sons to meet people, and the specific person is not yet clear. So your task today is to find an opportunity to get close to that person and find a way to find out who he is.

You hold this mobile phone, and after the matter is over, someone will contact you, and the phone will only ring three times, so if you don't answer after three clicks, the other party will not call again. Remember to get out of this door and forget about our conversation today. In the future, you will contact this person one-way, and he will not make an appointment to meet you unless absolutely necessary, so be careful. ”

"This person is an informant?"

"No, he's the 'eagle' in the middleman, the link between you and the informant. ”

Zhang Xiao was sure in his heart at that time that this "eagle" should be a member of the military, but no matter where the person is, as long as it is his own person, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Now that I've decided, there's nothing to fear. Zhang Xiao took a deep breath and said, obviously hearing a sneer from the other side, "Eagle, since we are already comrades in the trenches, give you a suggestion, let go of prejudice, maybe we can cooperate well." ”

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that. But then again, your name?"

"My name...."

"Of course, I'm not talking about my real name, I'm giving a title, a code name, just like mine. ”

It seems that he sensed my nervousness? Zhang Xiao couldn't stop thinking, "Lily of the Valley, call me Lily of the Valley." ”

"Lily of the valley?"

"The lily of the valley orchid", Zhang Xiao explained unhurriedly, "May happiness come again, without any haze, leaving only pure love." Zhang Xiao said and looked out the window, wondering what she was doing now?

Here, Linuo put his mobile phone in his pocket, came to the window, and recalled what Zhang Xiao said when he was drunk, and felt a little sour. I remembered a book I read before, and vaguely remembered that there was such a passage in it.

"People in the world say that it's easy to fall in love with someone, because everyone has a shining point in them, and they will naturally attract people they like. But for the relationship itself, it's not whether you like it or not, but how long you like it.

Like a month, that's just a picture of freshness. Three months, that might be curiosity. Six months, I want to get to know him. A year or two, that's the person who should be liked. Five years and ten years, that's not liking, it can be said to be love. For a lifetime? Do you still have a lifetime of love in the current world?"

Linuo thought about it and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly, yes, is there still a person in the world who likes it for a lifetime? A cold wind blew, Linuo hugged his arms, and before he knew it, it was December, and it was about to snow.

"What do you want to be alone?" Feng Tuo picked up the windbreaker and draped it over her, "Still standing in front of the window, it's much colder here, especially the wind at night." ”

"Thank you. As he spoke, he pulled the windbreaker on his body, "Auntie is already asleep?"

"Well, just fell asleep. Feng Tuo slowed down and continued, "I've been here for the past few days, and it's the first time I've seen her sleep so peacefully, if I really want to say thank you, it should be me thank you." ”

After Feng Tuo finished speaking, he also stood in front of the window, and the scenery of the mountain behind the hospital was unobstructed, "It turns out that the scenery of the hospital is not as bad as I thought." ”

"Huh?"

"My mother has been living in this hospital for more than five years, and every time I come to see her, I smell the pungent disinfectant water, and I can't stop wanting to leave, and leave this place where I cry except for illness", Feng Tuo's voice was low, but full of guilt.

"Now that I think about it, every time I come to see her, I just have a quick meeting with her, and then the doctor asks about the situation, and it doesn't take more than two hours at most. She never said that I should stay with her a little longer, and every time she was in a hurry to drive me away, saying that I was busy with work. Later, the work did get busier and busier, and the number of visits to her became less and less. From twice a week, to once a week, three times a month, and finally I couldn't even remember to see her once every two months. ”

"You don't have to blame yourself, Auntie won't blame you. Lino looked at him and spoke comfortingly.

"Naturally, she won't blame me, even if she's angry, she won't tell me. As long as I say two good words when I go to see her again, her anger will definitely disappear, she is so coaxing. Feng Tuo's nose began to sour as he spoke.

"Moms are like that, they're the ones with the best memories. They remember every little habit, little preference, little thought, little temper, they remember everything that happened to us since we were young, every word we said, every friend we had a good relationship with, and even the teachers when we were students, they remember it clearly. They are also the people with the worst memories, no matter how much they say before, they can always digest it, and the next day they will continue to treat us like no one. They are the people who love us the most in the world, and they are also the people who make us feel the most guilty and distressed. Linuo whispered, but in her heart she was thinking about Lixiaoyan, because her mother died when she was very young.

"Whew.... It's so much more comfortable to be able to talk to you like this. Feng Tuo looked at her gratefully, "Feng Yun called just now, I'll come and pick you up later, you will stay with her for the time being tonight." ”

"Okay", Linuo turned around and nodded, hesitated to speak, "What about you?"

"I just slept in the hospital. I have already told Feng Yun to move the recliner at home when she comes over", Feng Tuo sighed, "While I have the rest of this time, I want to accompany her well, which can be regarded as making up for the neglect of her before." ”

"Good. After Linuo finished speaking, she turned around, and Feng Tuo immediately called out to her.

"If you can, can you go back to China a few days later", Feng Tuo stared at her back, "Stay with me here more... Mom, she'll be in a good mood if you're there. ”

Li Nuo listened to his words, thought about it, turned around, and met Feng Tuo's gaze, "Okay, I will stay with Auntie." Then the two looked at each other speechlessly.

Feng Yun walked over from a distance and saw two people who looked like stone sculptures.

"Brother, I'm here to pick up Sister Nuo. Feng Yun looked at Linuo after speaking, "Sister, you pack up your things, it's not too early, let's go back and rest first." You should be quite tired today, after all, you got off the plane and rushed over. ”

"Good. After Linuo finished speaking, he glanced at Feng Tuo, then walked into the ward and picked up his luggage, Zhang Li hurriedly followed out, and saw Feng Yun coming, so his heart was relieved.

"Brother, you go down with Zhang Li and bring up the chaise longue. Feng Yun saw Zhang Zhang come out, and hurriedly said, "Here, this is your room card, in the Inglis Hotel, not far from here." There are also car keys, this is what I asked Li Tong to drive over, you drive carefully, I just bought this car not long ago. If it's broken, you'll give me the latest version!"

"Well, it's worthy of being my good sister!" Zhang Zhang smiled and took the room card and key, "Feng Tuo, I'll turn on the phone twenty-four hours a day, and call me anytime if I have something!"

"Of course, I need to say. Feng Tuo glanced at him, "You'd better go back to the hotel honestly, don't run out to have fun!"

"Look at what you said, I'm not in the mood for that, I just want to get some sleep!" Zhang Zhang said and stretched.

"It's better what you say!" Feng Tuo added dissatisfiedly.

The four of them walked and chatted as they walked outside.

Feng Yun picked up Linuo from the hospital and went straight to the apartment.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of a three-story apartment, and a minute later, the garage shutter opened, Feng Yun started the car and drove in, and slowly parked. The two of them got out of the car, and when they looked around, the garage was full of all kinds of cars, and although she didn't have much research on cars, each one seemed to be expensive.

Feng Yun came to Linuo's side, "I usually don't have any hobbies except work, and I have liked cars since I was a child. When I was a child, because I liked "Initial D", my grandfather would give me a brand new sports car every year for my birthday. At the time, I couldn't open it, but I was happy when I watched it. Later, when I worked, I asked my grandfather for a gift on my birthday, and he would still buy me a car, but somehow, the car was getting more and more low-key. ”

"Perhaps, I don't want you to be too blind. "Away from the clouds and the breeze is light back.

My brother said the same. Feng Yun looked at Linuo with a smile, "The elevator is over there, let's go up." ”

Linuo nodded, followed her into the elevator, and after a while, the elevator stopped on the second floor.

"I'll take you to your room first", Feng Yun said and turned left to the room in the back, "This is your room, you can use whatever you want." Next to your room is the study, which has a computer and no password. I live over there, just call me if there's anything. ”

Linuo walked into the room, put down his duffel bag, and looked around. The decoration of this room is very stylish, simple and atmospheric, with a kind of antique taste. Feng Yun leaned against the door, looking at Linuo with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was not in a hurry to leave.

Sure enough, she turned to meet Feng Yun's gaze and slowly spoke, "This room doesn't look like a guest room?"

"Well, the guest rooms are on the third floor", Feng Yun walked in and sat down on the sofa, "It turns out that my brother lives here, and after he returns to China, I still keep his room intact." When I moved in, I reorganized the first floor. My brother has a habit of cleanliness and a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, so usually no one comes up except for the cleaning aunt. If you come all the way here, you can't let you sleep in the guest room, and this is the only way to think about it. ”

As soon as Linuo was about to say something, Feng Yun hurriedly stretched out his hand, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, now that I am the host, you must know the phrase 'the guest is as the host'." Besides, what do you want to do with such complexity, it's just a room. ”

She said so, and Linuo had no choice but to respond and nodded.

"Aha!" Feng Yun got up and looked at the time, "I haven't eaten much after a busy day, and I'm really a little hungry." I don't think you have much to eat, so why don't I call my assistant and ask him to bring some food?"

Hearing her say this, Linuo thought about it, and indeed got off the plane until now, it seems that he has only eaten a loaf, thinking about rubbing his stomach, "When you said it, I was really a little hungry, where is the kitchen?"

"On the first floor", Feng Yun replied, and then was stunned, "Sister, do you want to make something to eat?"

Linuo nodded, walked out of the room, and went down the stairs to the first floor, where Feng Yunle followed. She opened the refrigerator with her hand, looked at the various wines in it, frowned, and turned her head to look at Feng Yun.

"Is this a refrigerator, or is this a wine cooler?"

"Hahaha" Feng Yun laughed when he heard this, and only stopped after a while, "Your reaction is exactly the same as my brother's, and it's exactly the same." ”

Linuo looked at her speechlessly, since she entered the door, she had Feng Tuo in three sentences, two sentences. Linuo shook his head helplessly and opened the other refrigerator door, "Fortunately, it's not all wine, and some ingredients." ”

"Sister, what are you going to do?" Feng Yun asked curiously.

"What do you like to eat?" asked Linuo, sweeping through the few ingredients in the refrigerator.

"Even though I grew up here, I didn't grow up eating hamburger pasta, my parents still cook hometown food. Feng Yuntuo thought for a moment and replied.

"You have the same root as Feng Tuo himself, and I also ask this question. Li Nuo withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look at Feng Yun, "It's not too early, just make some and make do with it." ”

Feng Yun nodded honestly, reached out and picked up the banana on the side, and sat obediently watching Linuo busy with his work.

"Sister, it seems that you often cook?" Feng Yun looked at her skilled knife work, and moved without hesitation, a little surprised.

"Well, I learned it from my grandmother when I was a kid. Linuo said, and the movements of his hands did not stop.

"Grandma?" Feng Yun peeled a banana with his hand, and when he was collecting her information, he didn't find her mother. At the time, I just thought that I might be living in a single-parent family like my brother, but now I think it may not be.

"Yes, my mom died in an accident when I was very young. My dad was busy with work, so I was brought up by my grandparents. Linuo spoke slowly.

"Oh, we're quite similar to that. Feng Yun said and put down the banana in his hand, "I was brought up by my grandparents since I was a child, and I was admitted to the university here at the age of fifteen, and I came here, and I lived in Italy with my grandparents before. ”

Linuo raised his head when he heard this, "You were admitted to college at the age of fifteen?"

"Maybe I'm smart enough," Feng Yun nodded, smiled and continued, "Since I was five years old, my grandfather hired a tutor for me, not only to learn the basics, but also others, such as fencing, fighting, grappling, karate, and taekwondo. ”

Of course, there are also firearms, shooting, and satellite positioning, Feng Yun said in his heart, "Later, my grandfather found out that I was very talented in computer programming, so he focused on cultivating me, and at the age of fifteen, I was admitted to the university that ranked first in computer science in country A." ”

Linuo stopped the movements in his hand and saw the loneliness in Feng Yun's eyes, "Your grandfather is very good to you, and his childhood life is very fulfilling, which is not a bad thing." ”

"It's true that I had a full childhood, and I spent a lot of time in a daze. Feng Yun said with a wry smile, "But like you said, it's not a bad thing, I'm good enough now." ”

"It was excellent. Linuo answered.

"But if I could do it all over again, I probably wouldn't want to live like that. Feng Yun turned around and took out a can of beer from the refrigerator and opened it without hesitation, "I still hope to be like other children, go to and from school normally every day, and then choose the life I want as I like." ”

"Isn't the life you want now?" asked Linuo, holding his hands on the stove and staring at Feng Yun.

"I like my life very much now", Feng Yun took a sip of wine, "Despite this, I still can't do what I want." ”

"What do you imagine life to be like?" said Linuo, turning around and stir-frying.

"The life you want..."Feng Yun paused and thought about it and continued, "It may be to go to a place where no one can find anyone with the person you like, without any constraints." We were self-sufficient, snuggling up by the fireplace in the morning, drinking coffee, talking about the books we had flipped before, savoring every word and every word in the book. Stroll in the sunset at dusk, listen to the insects and birds, and hug and kiss each other in the afterglow. Sitting on the ground at night, you can see the stars in the sky when you look up, and lean lightly on his shoulder and fall asleep. ”

Linuo listened quietly and laughed unconsciously, "When I was your age, I would think the same way." ”

"And now?"

"Now," Lino put the stir-fried food on his plate, "Now, it's unrealistic to think like that, it's out of reality." ”

"How come?" Feng Yun asked.

"The reason why people are human beings is that they have more than seven emotions and six desires?" Linuo put down the dishes he picked up again, "No one can escape the word lust, whether it is family love or friendship, it is difficult for ordinary people to let go." Just like you, although you are full of desire to escape from your grandfather's cage, as long as he has something, you will definitely rush to his side desperately. As long as there are these, it is impossible to do whatever you want. Okay, bring the dishes to the table and get ready to eat. ”

"Sister, don't you think it's boring to see life too thoroughly and without a little suspense?" Feng Yun took the dish and shouted at Nuo.

"You'd be wrong, life has too many scripts, and it always doesn't play cards according to common sense. When you feel like it's transparent, there's always someone rushing in and making a mess of it. To put it bluntly, we are constantly solving the problems that life throws at us. Linuo handed over the dishes and chopsticks, thinking about what he had just said, and laughed, "What am I telling you to do with this? Eat quickly, it should be cold in a while." ”

Although Feng Yun was confused, his stomach was already grumbling with hunger, so he didn't think about it so much, picked up the chopsticks and devoured them.
