Cindy was now insisting, almost in despair: "It's absolutely necessary. My mind is full of incoherent images, Liu Zhan, I have to figure it out, I need you to help me put the pieces together. ”

"The problem is, Cindy, as soon as the two of us get together, some bastards want to kill us. ”

"I'll go see you, two days at most, Liu Zhan, I swear, even if it's death, I'll go. "

Cindy does what she says.

Two days later, Liu Zhan received a text message that Cindy had arrived, and they had made an appointment to meet at the Special Forces Club in London Bridge that night.

Tucked away in a small alley behind the department store, the club is sandwiched between Edwardian style red brick terraced houses, with an ordinary-looking exterior and no signs on its simple black door.

The Special Forces Club is a secret place, generally reserved for those who have served in the intelligence agencies and special operations forces, with rows of photographs on the walls of the club honoring those who gave their lives for their country, some of whom are household names, and others whose real names have never been known.

Here, Liu Zhan and Cindy don't have to worry about someone eavesdropping on their conversations, especially to avoid the eyes and ears of reporters.

However, the club could keep journalists out, but not the newspapers.

While Liu Zhan was waiting for Cindy at the bar, he picked up a copy of the London Evening News of the day.

In an inconspicuous location, there's a little tofu block article about Congressman Madam Mary.

According to the article, Ms. Mary went missing while hiking up a snowy mountain during her visit to Illian, possibly in a very serious accident.

An official spokesman said the search for the bodies would have to wait weeks before they could begin, with the newspaper quoting him: "Spring in Illion came late. ”

The London Evening News concluded the article by stating that a by-election should have been held after the death of Ms Mary was confirmed, but given the current economic situation and ZF's declining approval ratings, the by-election was put on hold for the time being, waiting for the next election, and as for her work, it would be handled by MPs from the neighbouring district.

Liu Zhan crumpled the newspaper in his hand into a ball and threw it into the trash.

ZF finally spoke, but in the language of birds.

Liu Zhan asked for a glass of spirits, and without waiting for Cindy, he drank it himself.

Liu Zhan walked to the door of the club to see if Cindy had arrived, when a taxi came, and Liu Zhan didn't recognize the person in the car as Cindy at first.

Cindy struggled to climb out of the back seat of the car, he was still not human, only slightly better than he had been in the basement. laborious

Holding on to his once straight back, he stood firm against the taxi door, then grabbed the handrail of the stairs and struggled up the steps in front of the club's gate.

"I know, I know, I live like a ghost. Liu Zhan stepped forward to support him, and Cindy stared at Liu Zhan's ear and said, "You don't look like you can see anywhere." "

"The doctor just checked me out, and they're going to help me spruce it up. "

"Tell me the doctor's name, and I'll need it. "

Liu Zhan looked at Cindy carefully, the former Ilian film and television star, but now he has turned as white as chalk, the expression on his face is very nervous, his eyes are dull, as if the whole person has been wandering in another world.

"Damn it!" Liu Zhan gasped.

"Yes, I know. ~

"What the hell did that bastard do to you?"

"Let's have a drink and talk. "

"The doctor allowed you to drink?"

"Liu Zhan, the doctors with pig brains told me that they weren't allowed to drink, they weren't allowed to fly, they weren't allowed to stare at the nurse's buttocks. It's not allowed, that's not allowed, there's a fart. It doesn't make sense to me anymore. "

Since regaining her memory, Cindy is ready to wait for the general to send someone to chase and kill, and people like him have recognized their fate.

Cindy has been relying on Liu Zhan to support her body, Liu

Zhan felt him tremble slightly, like a butterfly flapping his arms slightly, "Those useless doctors, if I listen to them, I will probably live for a few more months. But I don't know what it means to be obedient, Liu Zhan, I probably won't have a chance to understand it in my life. ”

Cindy stood on the steps of the club's door, her eyes full of sadness.

Just as Liu Zhan was about to touch the scene, Cindy glanced at him mockingly, "I think you should ask me at this time what poison you want to drink." Bring me a vodka martini. "

He casually handed his coat to Liu Zhan like a cloakroom boy, and then walked inside stiffly.

They found a quiet corner separated by a mosaic of wooden panels, and sat down under a portrait.

It is a portrait of a French girl with long flowing hair, who defended her country during the war, fought against foreign aggression, and finally died in the Dachau concentration camp.

Following Cindy's strict instructions, the bartender prepared two vodka martinis for them.

"Respect the enemy, respect those bastards. Cindy raised her glass with a shudder.

"Which enemy?"

"General, they ruined me, Liu Zhan. "

"I've heard that you've been fooling around with the president's wife at the presidential palace in Illion for so long, and it probably won't do you much good. ”

"That's part of the reason I came to you, I don't remember much about that experience, I just remember that you rescued me from that hell place. I have to say thank you very much. ”

"You're welcome, I'm just a life for a life. ”

"Hehe, the one who dares to hit the idea to Hell Island, you are still the first. "

"If it weren't for me, I'm afraid you wouldn't have remembered your own affairs. "

"Okay, let's stop saving each other in the future, can we just sit down and have a glass of wine like two ordinary bastards?"

"Well, I guess, we can give it a try. ”

So they drank cup after glass.

"There's something I want to ask you, this hero. Liu Zhan drank the second martini and said, "Why did you put the president's wife to sleep? I know you've always been unkind to women, and even if you did, you'd be. ”

"It's all nonsense, Liu Zhan, I haven't slept with her, I've been framed. ”

"What?"

"I met the president's wife when I was at a business banquet, and she was very cute and very charming. I did make a joke with her, but nothing else. I'm not brainless, in a place like Illian, I dare to the president's wife, I'm definitely tired of it. About a week later, Thiago was visiting abroad, and I was partying with friends, and I was drunk, and then I was told that she wanted to see me, and the car was waiting outside. I got in the car and went to the presidential palace outside the city, and they took me in through the back door and told me to wait in a room upstairs, so I stared at the wallpaper on the wall for a long time. Then they told me that she was sick and that it was not convenient for her to see me today. I didn't see her at all, but a lot of people saw me go to the presidential palace. ”

"The next day, I was playing chess in the park, and suddenly half of the presidential guards surrounded me with guns pointed at my vital point. By lunchtime, Wren and I had become good friends, and he showed me pictures of the president's wife having a with a man, and Wren insisted that the man was me. "

"That's it? There must be real evidence. "

"I haven't done it, Liu Zhan, I've never slept with her. I almost took my life for her, but I never slept with her. After saying what had happened, Cindy was panting from exhaustion, "I was framed. ”

"Why?"

"You see, Wren didn't have time to tell me why, he was busy torturing me. "

"Could it be related to your work?"

Cindy shook her head, "I don't think it's okay, I was really wronged. Oh, there were some rumors about the experiments on Hell Island, and there were all sorts of theories, but I don't know the details. I feel

I think it's like buying a lottery ticket and winning the lottery, they need a scapegoat, and I won the jackpot. "

"But I don't understand, why did you choose?"

"I'm there and I'm a big star, and they obviously don't like big stars. ”

"I don't like Chinese people either. "

"That's right. ”

"There's also a Yangglu, Cindy, and she's also a member of Parliament. She was my friend, named Mary. ”

"Do I know her? I remember there was a woman, a very cute redhead."

"She's dead, Cindy. "

"Oh God. Cindy sighed, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. ”

He stared at the wine glass in front of him and shook his head sadly, "It's not worth it, you look at me, it's not worth it for me." ”

"She's not for you, Cindy, she's done all this for me and for herself. ”

"You can see that she is important to you. ”

"You'll like her too, but whether she's willing to deal with you or not is another matter. They joked with each other with wry smiles, and rivals were always used to comforting each other with sarcasm.

"She had something that I didn't understand, and I didn't understand a lot of what she said. Liu Zhan pondered, "She said to me on her deathbed, don't let her grave be overgrown with weeds. She wanted to tell me something, but I damn it, I didn't know what she meant. ”

"I can't guess what a woman thinks. ”

"It's important to her. ”

"So it's important to you, it's important to me. Liu Zhan, please allow me to toast Mary, and I toast you, and I salute the two of you. ”

"yes, great. Liu Zhan said softly, "Maybe it could have been better. They continued to drink and talk until they were both drunk, and then they started singing, and Liu Zhan hummed the sad bartender's song, "Drink the wine and forget the words," and finally the club doorman called a taxi for them.

"Where do you live?" Liu Zhan helped Cindy into the back seat of the black cab.

Cindy struggled to lift her left leg, and couldn't seem to even step through the door, and his foot stepped heavily into the car.

"Red Rose 41, next to the Royal Mews. Cindy sat down in his seat and replied, more precisely, that he had fallen into his seat, seeming exhausted.

"The hotel had eleven different pillows and a very nice bust of Napoleon. Did I tell you about the waitress in the hotel? "

"It seems that if I suggest you get mature, it will be in vain. "

Although Liu Zhan has only made friends with Cindy a few times, now, the relationship between the two of them has become extremely familiar.

"If you open the window, you can hear the music of Buckingham Palace in the room, and I like the military music of the Yanglu army the most. ”

"You still have the window open in January?"

"The windows are open all year round. "

"I remember.

"But they never put chocolate on my pillow. ”

"Will definitely remind Rennes if I have a chance to stay next time. "

Wren's name seemed to drain Cindy's last ounce of strength, and he let out a deep sigh of exhaustion, not having the energy to continue joking with Liu Zhan, "Liu Zhan, if you don't mind, let's go around the river. I loved the Thames at night. "

"I like it too. Liu Zhan agreed.

Although it would be a long detour from the river to the hotel, he told the taxi driver to take a detour, "How long will you stay, Cindy, when are you going to go home?"

"Home?" Cindy's voice was full of confusion, as if she was reading the assembly instructions for some new piece of equipment, "I don't know, Liu Zhan, I haven't been home for too long. Besides, I still have some things to do and I haven't thought about going home yet. Besides, I guess, I'll stay for a few days, until I get things sorted out. "

"What's the matter with you?"
