Early the next morning, Xu Yan was still resting at home when the phone rang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He picked up his phone and looked at it, but it was Zheng Qiuyi's phone. He was awe-struck and knew that things had finally come.

"Hey, senior sister?"

"Xu Yan?" Zheng Qiuyi's voice was very low, she didn't call Xu Yan her junior brother as usual: "Where are you now?"

"I'm at home. Senior sister, is there something wrong?"

"Oh. Then you wait for me at home, and I'll go to your house now. ”

What Zheng Qiuyi is going to do here, Xu Yan has a number in his heart - most of it is related to what happened to Xu Yan last night. Suddenly, Xu Yan was very afraid to face Zheng Qiuyi's clear and sharp gaze, and he said in a deep voice: "Senior sister, can't you say it on the phone? ”

There was silence on the phone for a moment, and then, Zheng Qiuyi said calmly: "I originally wanted to come over and tell you something, and then ask you something." But now it seems ... But there's no need to ask. ”

Zheng Qiuyi's words were full of heaviness and disappointment, Xu Yan naturally heard it, and he asked, "Senior sister, what are you going to tell me?"

"We just received a report from the sub-bureau that Qin Yue and one of his bodyguards died at home last night and were found this morning. The situation at the scene was very much like murder for money, and I was about to lead a team to investigate the scene. ”

Zheng Qiuyi paused: "I think, junior brother, you should be more interested in this news, so I will tell you as soon as possible, but now it seems... Hehe, it seems that there is no need. ”

Xu Yan really didn't know how to answer Zheng Qiuyi's words, so he could only smile bitterly.

Zheng Qiuyi said in a businesslike tone: "Director Xu, Qin Yue is dead, in this case, can the investigation of his old cases be revoked?"

"Senior sister, why are you asking me about this?"

"Because it was your Minister of Culture who asked him to investigate!"

"Oh... But I can't speak for the Minister of Culture and the Ministry!"

"I know you can't represent, but that's what Boss Deng meant. Boss Deng said that before officially informing the Ministry of Intelligence, he wants to know your opinion. ”

Xu Yan smiled bitterly: Deng Bonan, this old guy is as cunning as a thousand-year-old fox, I'm afraid that he knows the whole thing from beginning to end, and he is just pretending to be confused.

"Since Director Deng wants to ask my opinion... Then I agree. ”

Zheng Qiuyi's voice was flat and undulating: "Okay." If you agree, Director Xu, we'll know what to do. In this case, I will report to Director Deng, Director Xu, the Minister of Culture of your Intelligence Department, please report to you. ”

Xu Yan could feel the agitation hidden under Zheng Qiuyi's calm tone, and he said slowly, "Okay." On Minister Wen's side, I'll talk about it. ”

"In that case ... Zheng Qiuyi groaned, and then, she sighed softly: "Then that's it!"

Both sides were silent, and after a while, Zheng Qiuyi quietly hung up the phone.

Xu Yan held the microphone and was silent.

Xu Yan could naturally hear the strange attitude of Zheng Qiuyi when she talked to her today - it was obvious that she already knew who the real murderer of Qin Yue was.

Xu Yan didn't blame Zheng Qiuyi, he just felt a little sad - yesterday, Wen Xiuzhi had parted ways with him, and after last night, I am afraid that Zheng Qiuyi would also stay away from him.

The so-called friends are probably the people who accompany you on a certain part of the road in your life, some friends accompany you on a longer road, some friends accompany you on a shorter road, but the vast majority of friends, they will leave at some time. ”

Thinking of the bright red past he had experienced, Xu Yan's mood also darkened - human memory has a protection mechanism, which can help him not to touch those past events that he does not want to remember. However, those memories are always there, not really gone.

I have already embarked on a path off the beaten path, and the further I go, the fewer people I have to accompany me. Eventually, you will be alone.

Suddenly, the phone rang again, Xu Yan glanced at the phone and pressed the answer button: "Huang Xi, hello!"

"Hello, Director Xu!" Today, Huang Xi's tone was particularly solemn, she said: "Director Xu, I have just received a notice from the headquarters, and I am ordered to inform you: the headquarters requires you to rush back to the capital immediately within tomorrow to report for duty. ”

Because he had been notified by Wen Xiuzhi in advance, Xu Yan was not surprised, he asked, "Do you know why?"

"Early this morning, the Japanese government has formally submitted a request to our country through diplomatic channels, requesting us to send a military advisory group to support them. They specifically named you and asked you to definitely join this military advisory group.

Now, the matter is being considered by the superiors, and the relevant head wants to meet you in person and ask for your opinion. Because the matter of preparing for the establishment of the military advisory group is rather urgent, the ministry has asked you to rush back to the capital immediately, and you must report to the capital within tomorrow! Director Xu, when do you plan to leave?"

Xu Yan said calmly: "I can go at any time - now." ”

"That's great, Director Xu, there is a flight at two o'clock in the afternoon, I will book you a ticket now, and then come to pick you up and take you to the airport... ”

Xu Yan looked at the time: "Time is a little tight... Huang Xi, you don't have to pick me up, I'll find a car to go to the airport by myself, and we will meet at the airport. ”

"Okay, Director Xu, we'll see you at the airport later!"

Xu Yan held the microphone and let out a long breath: he was leaving Jincheng again and set off on the journey to fight.

Xu Yan didn't know why, every time he wanted to leave Jincheng, he felt very reluctant in his heart.

It is said that he is not from Jincheng, and Jincheng is not his hometown; the girl he once had a crush on, Gong Xueting, she has fallen in love with Situ Xiao; even if he wants to continue his studies, he can enter a better top university in China - no matter from which point of view, he has no reason to stay in Jincheng at all, why do he stay here and not leave!

What is the reason why you are nostalgic for this place and have been reluctant to leave?"

Could it be that the reason why he is reluctant to give up is because he is reluctant to give up the little fat man Liu Yang?

Xu Yan smiled dumbly, he walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window.

It was a bright weekend with sunny and sunny weather. The trees in the community are lush and lush, and the birds flying in the forest are jumping and chirping. Under the shade of the trees, the old people are playing tai chi, the young people are playing badminton, and the children are playing hide and seek.

Looking at this happy scene outside the window, Xu Yan suddenly woke up and understood why he was reluctant to leave Jincheng: because he still had thoughts, and he was still looking forward to Zhu Youxiang coming back one day.

If she is not here, then in the future, if Zhu Youxiang comes back, where will she go to find herself?

If Zhu Youxiang can return to this world in the future, she looks for herself everywhere, but in the end, she can't find it, her lonely and lonely figure. In the end, the two of them were separated and never saw each other again-thinking of this, Xu Yan's heart throbbed for a while.

Xu Yan quickly packed his clothes and neatly sorted out his suitcase. When he went out, Xu Yan suddenly felt something, he took a blank piece of paper and wrote a few big words: "Xuan Yun: If you return, wait for me at home, I will come back!"

Xu Yan pasted the paper in a conspicuous place on the wall, and then he shouted into the empty room: "Xuan Yun, I'll be out for a few days, and I'll be back soon!"

In a trance, Xu Yan seemed to hear a gentle female voice from the room: "Son, go early and return early, have a good journey!"

Xu Yan sighed, he slammed the door of the room and strode out.

He had a hunch that he would run away from home this time, but he was afraid that he would not come back soon.

At the gate of the community, Xu Yan took a taxi and set off for the airport. On the way, he called his landlord and asked him if he would like to sell the house.

Recently, the economy has been sluggish, rumors of property taxes are very strong, and housing prices have fallen sharply, so when he heard that Xu Yan was willing to buy this property, the landlord Mr. Wu seemed very happy, and he said that as long as the conditions were right, he was willing to sell the house.

Xu Yanxin asked calmly: "Mr. Wu, the conditions you said are suitable, how much is that?"

"Mr. Xu, you are our tenant, and you have lived in the house for a long time. What is the quality of this house, what are the advantages and disadvantages, you understand, we don't need to go around in circles, the average price of the houses in our university town is 151 square meters, my house is 1001 square meters, if you are really sincere, I will give you a discount, I want a whole number, how about 1.5 million?"

Xu Yanxin calmly asked, "Is it 1.5 million? What if I make a lump sum payment and don't want a mortgage or loan?"

"Mr. Xu, do you want to make a one-time payment?" The landlord was a little surprised, and he muttered slightly: "Mr. Xu, you are doing things well! In this way, Mr. Xu, if you can make a one-time payment, I will give you another 50,000-1,450,000 yuan! This price, there is no lower price than this." ”

Mr. Wu, I have something to do in the next two days, you give me an account number, I will first give you the renewal rent on the account, and then you wait for me to come back to go through the formalities. ”

The landlord sent Xu Yan an account number, and Xu Yan also used his mobile phone to transfer 20,000 yuan to the landlord, which was enough to pay the rent for most of the year.

At about 12 o'clock at noon, Xu Yan arrived at Jincheng Airport. At this time, Huang Xi had not yet arrived, Xu Yan was wandering around the airport idlely, but he met many acquaintances.

The first acquaintance was Director Qi Nan from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and several Japanese envoys, Xu Yan saw them from a distance, and the group entered the VIP waiting room through the VIP channel. With Huang Xi's senior sister, Xu Yan can be regarded as a friend, but because she accompanied the Japanese envoy, Xu Yan was not easy to go over to say hello.

The second acquaintance Xu Yan met was Zhao Yanran. She wore big black sunglasses, lowered her head, and walked quickly, surrounded by a group of people, several strong men in suits and sunglasses were guarding her and her assistant, looking like bodyguards.

Behind her was a group of reporters carrying cameras and microphones, they trotted all the way to follow Zhao Yanran, and the microphones and cameras stabbed at Zhao Yanran one after another, and the dense formation reminded Xu Yan of the ancient spear phalanx.

The reporters asked loudly while running: "Miss Zhao, may I ask if you suddenly came to Jincheng because of a new filming arrangement?"

"Miss Zhao, we are from Jincheng TV, can you say a few words for our vast audience in Jincheng?"

"Miss Zhao Yanran, I heard that you and the star Mr. Huang Hao have been close recently, and they have become a couple of men and women, can you reveal a little about this matter? Do you have any plans to get married in the near future?"

"Miss Zhao, can you tell the audience about your next new drama? What kind of drama is it about? Some people say that your next drama is the second part of the Twin Palaces Puzzle, I don't know if it's true?"

"Miss Zhao, film critic Huang Mingshan criticized your performance in the double palace fascination for being too pretentious and not true enough, what do you have to say about it? Do you plan to refute him? Miss Zhao, please express your opinion!"

In addition to the reporters, there were more enthusiastic young men and women, holding flowers and placards in their hands, shouting: "Yan Yan, we will always love you! We will always support you!"

"Yan Yan, sign it for me!"

In the face of a fanatical fan base, the defense line composed of several bodyguards is obviously inadequate. A female assistant waved her arms and shouted to the crowd: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!" Miss Zhao came to Jincheng for purely personal reasons, and it has nothing to do with official business or the new drama. Miss Zhao thanked everyone for their support, but please calm down, don't watch, thank you - ah, don't squeeze, don't squeeze!"

The scene was chaotic, but fortunately, at this time, the police and security guards on duty at the airport also rushed to hear the news, and they assisted the bodyguards to escort Zhao Yanran safely to the security checkpoint at the boarding gate, and then formed a human wall to stop the reporters and fans, and Zhao Yanran was able to escape.

Xu Yan originally wanted to say hello to Zhao Yanran, but when he saw this fanatical scene, he was immediately frightened - in front of everyone's eyes, if he came out to greet Zhao Yanran, wouldn't he immediately become the focus of the news? Zhao Yanran also had a bunch of bodyguards to protect him, and he was alone, so he was afraid that he would be overwhelmed by the surging crowd on the spot, right?

Seeing Zhao Yanran fleeing and hiding in the security channel, Xu Yan couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that it would not be easy to do anything! I used to be very happy to watch the scene of celebrities in the news hugging fans chasing and offering flowers, but if you really have to put yourself in your shoes, I'm afraid that the feelings of the parties concerned will not be good.

"Director Xu!" Xu Yan was looking at him in a daze, when a female voice called him behind him, and he turned around and saw Huang Xi.

"Huang Xi, you're here too. Have you bought your ticket?"

"I've already bought it, Director Xu, I'm sorry, I can't buy the first class, I can only take the economy class, let's go check in - ah, who was that just now? So many people are chasing, crying and shouting, which big star is it? Our young people, but they are really shallow and impetuous, in fact, what kind of star, isn't it still two eyes and one mouth?"

Xu Yan said absentmindedly: "Yes, it was Zhao Yanran who passed by just now... She should also be going back to the capital. ”

Hearing Zhao Yanran, Huang Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, and the whole person became excited: "Ah, is it really Zhao Yanran? Wow, great, I watch every episode of the drama "The Mystery of Two Palaces"! She is my idol! Director Xu, did you really see Zhao Yanran just now? Is it her?"

Looking at Huang Xi, Xu Yan only felt inexplicable: "Huang Xi, are you very obsessed with Zhao Yanran? Didn't you forget?"

"Then how is it the same?" Huang Xi did not hesitate to slap himself a few seconds ago: "People who chase other stars, they are shallow and ignorant stupid people, but the fans who chase Zhao Yanran are completely different from them." You know, Zhao Yanran is a perfect woman with beauty and wisdom, her performance in "The Mystery of Two Palaces" is very much praised by the judges of the Cannes Film Festival in France! You haven't seen it, have you?"

Listening to Huang Xi's rambling words all the way, Xu Yan's reaction was just a faint smile.

Half an hour later, the plane began, Xu Yan and Huang Xi sat in their seats, Xu Yan casually pulled out a magazine to read, ready to pass the boring time on the way, but Huang Xi raised his head and looked around, Xu Yan looked impatient, and asked, "Huang Xi, what are you doing?"

"Ah, Director Xu, I'm looking for Zhao Yanran - you said, Miss Zhao is also back to the capital, is it possible that she is on the same flight as us?"

Xu Yan laughed and laughed: "I said Xiao Huang, your head is not funny, right? Zhao Yanran, a big star, how can she come to take economy class? People must be first-class customers, and they will definitely not sit here, how can you see her?"

Hearing Xu Yan say this, Huang Xi let out an "oh" in disappointment: "I knew that we would have bought first class." She sat down listlessly, Xu Yan smiled faintly, but he didn't bother to pay attention to her.

The flight from Jincheng to the capital takes three hours, and Xu Yan has sunglasses on his face, ready to sleep. However, passengers came in one after another, and people came and went frequently, and from time to time people passed by Xu Yan's side frequently. Suddenly, someone stopped beside Xu Yan, and a female voice asked in surprise, "Excuse me... Are you Mr. Xu?"

Xu Yan was resting, he raised his head a little unpleasantly, took off his sunglasses, and looked up, but it was a middle-aged woman, looking very capable, Xu Yan looked a little familiar in a trance, he hesitated: "You are... ”

Seeing Xu Yan take off her sunglasses, the woman immediately confirmed. She bowed slightly and greeted politely: "Hello Mr. Xu, you may not remember me, I am Miss Zhao's assistant Zhang Yu! Last time I was at Shudu University, I accompanied Miss Zhao here, and we met." (To be continued.) )
