Last night, Wulin City, hotel rooftop.

"I want us to work together, just me and you. ”

Zhang Xiaoran was silent for a while, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, shook the cigarette mouth, and gave Yang Xu one. Yang Xu didn't refuse, and after taking it, he asked, "Is there a fire?"

Zhang Xiaoran lit a fire for him, and the two stood on the dark rooftop, looking at the neon colors below, with smoke rings in their mouths and noses. After a pause, Zhang Xiaoran opened his mouth to break the silence: "I want to hear your plan." ”

Yang Xu's eyes were silent, if Zhang Xiaoran hadn't known the age of this young man in advance, he would be as calm as he is now, saying that he had hidden the soul of a thirty or forty-year-old man in his heart Zhang Xiaoran also believed it. Yang Xu picked out the ashes of his cigarette, and his smile was a bit like the warm light of a bean in a dark room: "You are checking Song Chen, but the monitor you use is only available to the police." So you're backed by the police. ”

Zhang Xiaoran smiled faintly: "And then." ”

"Behind me is the underworld, the underworld that cheats and abducts. Yang Xu took a cigarette in his mouth, and suddenly hung up: "If we cooperate, is it like acting in "Infernal Affairs"?"

Zhang Xiaoran was amused: "You want to be Tony Leung, and I am not Andy Lau." ”

"How dare I be Tony Leung, I am at most Yu Wenle. Yang Xu's voice softened, "I always wanted to be Edison Chen, but I didn't expect to be Yu Wenle." ”

"If you can be Yu Wenle, you will be content. Zhang Xiaoran looked into the distance: "I'm just a Zhang Xiaoran, I've been trying back and forth on various edges, trapped in this quagmire of fame and fortune and still thinking about getting out of the mud without staining, in fact, it's good to be a mud." People who have been doing things against society should not have a home, lest they do something to affect their wives and children - I am really afraid, afraid that one day I will wake up and my home will be gone. ”

Yang Xu listened quietly, thinking about the information about Zhang Xiaoran that he got from Zhao Xinnan, and the back of that man slowly appeared in his heart - that man is also like this, hiding that people all over the world are silently doing what they think is right, even if his mother dies of illness, even if he drops out of school, he doesn't come back to take a look. However, the money sent back every month is exactly the same. When he came back, he told himself that he was terminally ill and that he wanted to find a place to support himself. He sighed: "It's hard to be a man with principles and ideals. ”

I don't know if I said this to Zhang Xiaoran, or to the man, or to Yang Xu himself.

Zhang Xiaoran could hear a hint of "the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life" from these words, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"According to what I eavesdropped on today, Song Xin and the others should arrange for a transaction somewhere on the shooting site tomorrow. Yang Xu handed Zhang Xiaoran a piece of paper: "This is my other mobile phone number, I will use this mobile phone number to communicate tomorrow, you have been positioning this mobile phone to know the location." ”

Zhang Xiaoran put away the piece of paper, "I actually don't understand, what's the benefit of you doing this?"

Yang Xu smiled, smiling like the man who suddenly returned home late at night a few years ago.

"When a big man does things, how can he think about the benefits every day, and do it if he likes. ”

……

Zhang Xiaoran put down his phone.

He is now in a van, and the car drove with Yang Xu's car to the place where the variety show was filmed. This time, the police didn't know what means they used, and the program team actually allowed Zhang Xiaoran to enter the program team with his "team" to shoot some tidbits and promotional photos that could be released to the public. Next to him was Qin Ligang, who was dressed as his media colleague, with "reporter" Su Lu in the front passenger seat, and "camera" Yang Kan as the driver.

Each of them wore a wireless headset in their ear, and they obviously heard the conversation between Yang Xu and Zhang Xiaoran just now.

This conversation was planned by Zhang Xiaoran and Yang Xu last night to make sure that Yang Xu's side was safe.

"I really didn't expect that it was Song Xin who kept Song Chen in drug transactions all the time. Su Lu was curious: "Is this Yang Xu reliable? Why do I think his actions and motives are particularly suspicious." ”

Qin Ligang stood up to Zhang Xiaoran at this point: "I think in the overall direction, this Yang Xu is consistent with us. If he can guess that we are the police, then he already knows without beating the grass snake; if he wants to say, 'The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind,' what benefit can they still take from us? And Xiao Ran also said -- if he believes in Yang Xu, then I believe in Xiao Ran, and I also believe in Yang Xu. ”

Yang Kan, who was driving, was a young man, who was specially borrowed by Qin Ligang from the upper group. He slowly overtook one car after another, his eyes calmly scanning the rearview mirror—looking at the cars behind him on the one hand, and the expressions of the people in the cars on the other. Obviously, the Qin team is the most authoritative and stable in the team, Su Lu is young and curious, Zhang Xiaoran is an outsider but experienced, and what they are talking about Yang Xu, thinking of this, Yang Kan suddenly said: "I have studied psychology professionally, and I listened to Yang Xu's tone and strain in the dialogue just now, it is obvious that he is a person with strong on-the-spot response ability and a big heart." This kind of person is adaptable, learning, expressive, and superior. And in the end - he seems to be slightly out of control emotionally, there should be a story. It can be seen that he does not have no purpose to help us, but to achieve one of his own goals. ”

"......What is his goal?" Su Lu tapped his fingers on his head: "This is stumped for me, what will be the goal of such a person with mature behavior, unknown background, unknown origin, and unknown position? For money?—— we can't give him any money; for fame? He said that he is an underworld, and this kind of betrayal of the original organization should be hidden, and he is not afraid of being retaliated against by others for such a big fanfare; that is not fame and fortune, why else......?"

"Everyone has their own secrets, and people don't want to say that we don't have to ask. As soon as Qin Li finished this topic, he patted Yang Kan on the shoulder: "Xiao Yang, you determine when the special police team will be able to arrive at the location deployed near the shooting site, and Xiaolu, you can determine the progress of the other teams of our Public Security Bureau." The goal this time is to eradicate the underground drug market in Wulin in one fell swoop, so the drug dealers must not be allowed to have any chance to escape. ”

"Okay, received!" Su Lu and Yang Kan said in unison.

Qin Ligang's eyes swept towards Zhang Xiaoran, who immediately shrank his neck and said with a smile: "Knowing the Qin team, I will follow Yang Xu." ”

……

Here, with Zhao Xinnan's manual navigation, Yang Xu finally safely parked the car in the parking place reserved by the filming team. Before the car stopped, two staff members greeted him early, and while helping Zhao Xinnan open the door, he carefully reminded: "Xinnan, Producer Luo is looking for you." ”

"Is he looking for me?" Zhao Xinnan frowned slightly and turned his head to find Yang Xu.

Yang Xu also heard it, and when he saw Zhao Xinnan looking at him, he smiled and said, "If you have something to do, you can get busy, we will be busy too." ”

Zhao Xinnan smiled and waved his hand, his expression turned cold as soon as he turned his face, and asked in a low voice as he walked: "Have you seen that there are other people besides Producer Luo?"

The two staff members were stunned, and one of them scratched his head and recalled: "It seems that there is also a young man present." ”

Another added: "I just remember that he is a handsome guy, quite handsome." ”

Zhao Xinnan: "......"

Yang Xu watched Zhao Xinnan walk away, Song Xin got out of the car and patted him on the shoulder, and reminded with a deep look in his eyes: "Zhao Xinnan is not on the same level as us, we all know that she may have a good impression of you, but I suggest Xiao Yang, don't be too involved in taking it seriously, otherwise you will be injured in the end." ”

Yang Xu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Brother Song, what are you talking about, Sister Xinnan and I are more compatible, and I have no other ideas." ”

Song Xin didn't debunk his shallow explanation, but just asked him to quickly lock the car door and come over.

……

In a temporary room of the filming crew, Producer Luo was drinking tea with a young man.

said that he was a young man, but if you look closely, you can still see that he is already thirty years old, and there are faint fine lines at the corners of his eyes.

Producer Luo pushed the brewed teacup in front of the young man, and opened his mouth to break the curling tea smoke in the room: "Director Zhao, is the old man okay?" ”

The young man picked up the tea and sniffed it for a while, "Don't call me Director Zhao, I made two movies in a small way, how can I be called a director." I still need to learn from you. After speaking, he took a sip of tea.

"I'm ashamed. Producer Luo sighed: "How can I count you as a senior brother, Director Chen, Director Feng, Director Zhang, I just did some chores by the old man's side before, and I was promoted by the old man." ”

"Senior brother is humble. The young man surnamed Zhao put down the teacup and covered the teacup lid, "Just this technique of making tea by hand, my brother has learned seven or eight points from my father." Speaking of this, his eyes flickered slightly: "My father has learned some Tai Chi and Wufowl Opera over the years, and his body is quite strong, but he still likes to drink two sips of tea at noon." I've been drinking more in the past two years than before. ”

"It's good to drink tea, it's good to drink tea. Producer Luo seemed to be happy to have news of the old man, with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "You came this time to pick up Xinnan, right?"

"Ahem. Speaking of her little sister, who is more than ten years old, Zhao Xinyi couldn't help coughing twice: "Senior brother, you know, Xinnan is my father's pearl since childhood, and she can't help but suffer a little grievance." However, the family style is upright, so the father will not spoil too much, and the little sister will come out early for an internship. She is indeed competitive, starting from the basics, all departments are rotated, and she plans for her to make it clear that we will also be up to her. However, recently, the imperial capital Song family has been urging urgently, and my father is also embarrassed, and we seem to have heard that Xinnan was robbed on the street two days ago?......"

Zhao Xinnan pushed open the door and strode in-

"Brother, you go back and tell your father. I don't spend a penny on my family now, so according to my 'contract' with my dad at the time, he can't call me back for three years. And why did the Song family urge our Zhao family to do, didn't their family always like the Cao family in Tianfu? I heard Cao Xiaomei say that Song Jiao has been chasing her. ”

"Also, I was robbed two days ago, but it also reflects the courage of my Chinese people, and I immediately saw the righteousness and courage to help me snatch it back." I've already taken the robber to the police station. So my dear second brother, what do you have to worry about?"

Zhao Xinyi raised her good-looking eyebrows and looked at her sister in front of her with a "provocative" face, and lightly stabbed the finger: "I heard that you recently like an assistant named Yang Xu of Song Chen's kid?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem. ”

This time it was Zhao Xinnan's turn to cough.
