"Ding Dong!"

The door opened, Zhang Xinxin poked her head out with a happy face, and smiled sweetly at 11: "Brother Chu Yuan, you are here." ”

Of course, the birthday is a happy thing, but 11's face is still flat and without any variegation. Or he also wanted to laugh, but there was nothing worth his joy in his memory, his whole life was in the role of killing and being hunted down, endless chasing, there were too many dead people around him, so many that he was numb, but there was no memory worthy of making him smile, not a single one.

Zhang Xinxin didn't mind 11's cousin, and spread a hand towards him with a smile.

11 asked, "What?"

"A gift. Zhang Xinxin stared at a pair of cute eyes and said, "Don't you sue me, you didn't buy me a birthday gift, did you?"

11 spread his empty hands and said, "I didn't buy it." ”

"......" Zhang Xinxin really has no temper, 11's personality is the same as his expression, very bland, as if he won't take anything to heart. Fortunately, she didn't have much hope, so she turned sideways and gave way to half of the door and said, "Come in, my father and mother are waiting for you." ”

As she spoke, she was about to reach out to pull 11's arm, 11 instinctively took a small step back, and immediately realized that Zhang Xinxin was not going to attack him, so she forcibly suppressed the idea of throwing her out.

Zhang Xinxin didn't know that her nose was blue and her face was swollen when she was about to be dropped just now. With a sweet smile, he took 11's arm and led him into the living room.

Chu Fan just came out of the kitchen with a plate of steaming dishes, and when he saw 11, he smiled and said, "Chu Yuan, you're here." Hurry up and sit down and try my aunt's handiwork. "The nomadic god hits by hand.

Zhang Xinxin also said with a smile: "My mother's craftsmanship is amazing, but I can't taste it when I'm not usually at home." Brother Chu Yuan, today is thanks to you. ”

11 nodded with a flat face. Eyes fall on the kitchen. Chu Fan's husband is also Zhang Xinxin's father, Zhang Zhengyu also walked out of it with a plate of dishes, his eyes fell on 11, and nodded at him with a kind smile.

11 also nodded in return, he and Zhang Zhengyu met once, and that time the two passed by at the elevator outside the door.

Fan put the dishes on the table and beckoned: "Chu Yuan, come and sit." ”

Zhang Xinxin pulled him to the table, and after pressing him to sit down, he also sat down next to 11.

Zhang Zhengyu set up the dishes. He asked, "Chu Yuan, what kind of wine do you drink?"

11 replied lightly, "I don't drink." ”

Zhang Xinxin hurriedly asked, "What about the drink?"

11 shook his head lightly and said, "Water." ”

Zhang Xinxin seemed to be used to 11's eccentricity, and she didn't ask any more, turned around and poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

The plates were quickly served. Zhang Zhengyu finally served a box of cakes, lit birthday candles, and then turned off the lights. The dim candlelight reflected on everyone's faces, making it look very warm. The family gathered around the table while clapping the beat while singing together: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you...... Only 11 of the four did not sing, it was not that he could not sing the song, but that he did not want to sing it. In his opinion, this is boring. He was listening quietly, looking at the happiness on Zhang Xinxin's face.

11 had never had a birthday since he could remember, and what was it like to have a birthday? He didn't know, and he couldn't understand it. At this moment, looking at the happy appearance of this family, he was quite touched.

The candlelight shone on Zhang Xinxin's beautiful face. I don't know if it's the light, or if she's really happy at the moment, her face is blushing and simple, and it's very cute.

After singing the song Happy Birthday, Zhang Zhengyu turned on the lights again and temporarily removed the cake, then held the wine glass and said, "Come, I wish Xiao Xinxin a happy birthday." Let's have a toast, everybody. ”

The four cups touched each other, and 11 also took a symbolic sip.

Chu Fan sandwiched the two chicken thighs into the bowls of Zhang Xinxin and 11 respectively. said: "Chu Yuan, come, eat a chicken leg." ”

I sandwiched the chicken leg three times and two times. To be honest, 11's eating image is really not good-looking, but he doesn't care, he has always thought that time is the most important thing, and if you have that time to chew slowly, it is better to eat quickly and deal with the battle below. Fortunately, Chu Fan's family didn't mind, and Zhang Xinxin even took small sips of chicken with her teeth, while watching 11's gobble up with interest.

Probably feeling that the atmosphere was quieter, Chu Fan opened his mouth and said, "Xinxin, what wish did you make just now?"

Zhang Xinxin snorted and said, "I can't sue you for this, it won't work if I say it." ”

"What kind of thing, the wish is to make two, one to be announced, and the other to hide in the heart, right?"

Zhang Xin said in surprise: "Hey, Mom, how do you understand this?"

Zhang Zhengyu laughed and said, "Do you think your mother can't keep up with the times?

Zhang Xinxin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll say it." After thinking about it, he said: "I wish my father, mother, and Brother Chu Yuan all good health and happiness in their lives." ”

Zhang Zhengyu laughed and said, "I really didn't hurt you in vain." ”

11 glanced at Zhang Xinxin with a slanted eye, then moved back to the bowl, lowered his head and continued to eat.

Chu Fan asked, "What is another wish?"

Zhang Xinxin said vigilantly: "This can't be said anymore, it won't work if you say it." ”

Zhang Zhengyu laughed and said, "You don't want to find a husband to marry early, right?"

Zhang Xinxin pretended to be a murderer and said, "Dad, you are talking nonsense." ”

Chu Fan also glanced at him and blamed: "My daughter is not yet that age, don't talk nonsense." ”

Zhang Zhengyu laughed and said, "Just kidding." Today Shin Shin is a year older again, I'm happy, haha. ”

The family was talking and laughing while eating the food on the table, and only 11 of them did not speak or express themselves, which was a little out of place with this happy atmosphere. When Chu Fan was talking to him. At most, it's just a "hmm" and "oh" to mean an answer.

Halfway through the meal, Zhang Zhengyu suddenly said, "By the way, Chu Yuan, are you interested in coming to our company?" I can talk to the manager and arrange a position for you." ”

11 glanced up at him and said lightly, "I'm not interested." ”

Chu Fan also persuaded: "Chu Yuan, let's find a serious job, I'm also worried about you like this." ”

11 replied lightly: "Oh." ”

Zhang Xinxin blinked her eyes and interjected curiously, "Yes." I still don't know what Brother Chu Yuan does, right?"

Chu Fan glared at her and said, "Little child, don't interject." ”

Zhang Xinxin shouted dissatisfiedly: "How can I have it." ”

Zhang Zhengyu hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." Chu Yuan, if you are interested, you can come to me at any time. ”

Drain the water from the cup in one gulp. Putting down the empty cup and saying, "I'm done, let's go first." As he spoke, he got up.

Zhang Zhengyu hurriedly shouted: "Hey, why do you leave so quickly, sit down for a while." ”

Chu Fan also said: "Yes, Chu Yuan, you just came, why did you leave so quickly." Sit down for a while and wait for my aunt to clean up. You can have a good chat with your aunt again. ”

Zhang Zhengyu said: "I'll clean up, you talk." ”

Zhang Xinxin didn't speak, just pulled the corner of 11's clothes, and then looked at him with pitiful eyes.

Chu Fan said: "That's it, it's your first time here, let Xinxin take you to the room to sit down, okay? Don't be in a hurry. ”

Zhang Xinxin also nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, Brother Chu Yuan." Go to my room and sit down, okay? ”

Under the hospitality of the family, 11 was finally pulled into her room by Zhang Xinxin.

Zhang Xinxin's room is not big, but it is very warmly furnished, the walls on all four sides are painted with a faint pink, the futon on a small bed is pale green, and the desktop and floor are spotless, which makes people feel very comfortable as soon as they come in. The nomadic god hits by hand.

The girls' room is just different. 11 Their den was far from being compared, and the house of three big men was a kennel compared to this one. The garbage was thrown everywhere and no one cleaned it up. Among the three bedrooms, only 11 rooms are clean, except for the messy pile of clothes, there is nothing to obstruct the eyes.

Probably out of the nature of a girl, Zhang Xinxin likes toy pets very much, there is a big fluffy teddy bear on the bed, and there is also a fluffy pig and fluffy rabbit on the table. Other than that, shelves full of books, and a computer.

11The first thing I did when I came in was to habitually observe the interior of the house, and then I went to the window and looked out.

Zhang Xinxin walked up to him and asked, "The night view here is good, right?"

"Hmm. ”

Zhang Xinxin first turned around and looked at the closed door, and then whispered, "Brother Chu Yuan, are you the underworld?"

11 turned around and walked to the computer, tapped on the keyboard, and said, "No. ”

Zhang Xinxin smiled: "Then I will rest assured." Did you know that the underworld is so scary? Last time there was a shootout here in our house, and later I learned that it was a stronghold of the underworld, and that time it was a triad revenge fight. Also, just yesterday, there was a big fire in Haiyan City, and the police suspected that someone deliberately set the fire, because a large number of traces of gasoline were found at the scene......"

11 turned and asked, "Sea salt?"

"Yes, you don't even know? It's all reported in the news, and it's also very popular on the Internet. ”

As if to prove that he was not lying, Zhang Xinxin turned on the computer, opened the webpage and entered a string of addresses before saying, "Look, I didn't lie to you." ”

It's a news site, and the homepage is marked with a large line of bold letters: Mafia seeks revenge, burns down people's homes.

Use the mouse to enter this link page, and a piece of news immediately pops up: On xx month, there was a huge fire in Haiyan City. Three people were burned to death on the spot and seven people were burned, two of whom were severely burned, and were still being rescued at the time of writing. Police found traces of a large amount of gasoline at the scene, suspected of intentional arson......

11 pulled the scroll bar and looked down, and when he saw the location of the fire, his expression changed slightly. Because the place where the fire caught fire was the building where Ruan Qingyu lived. How could it be so coincidental? He walked away with his front foot. There was arson there, the only possibility is the three gangsters, it seems that the backers behind the three of them are not simple.

Zhang Xinxin didn't know what 11 was thinking at this time, and said beside her: "You see, how terrible the underworld is now, and it really does anything." As she spoke, she secretly observed 11's expression, but she couldn't see any expression on 11's face.

11 let out a faint "oh" and asked, "Is there any room to see?"

"Huh?" Zhang Xinxin was stunned for a moment.

"If not, I'll go first. ”

Zhang Xinxin immediately said with a disappointed face: "Ah, Brother Chu Yuan. Why are you going to leave again? Did I say something wrong to upset you?"

"It's not. After a pause, 11 added, "I'm not used to it." So saying, he turned and opened the door and walked out.

Chu Fan was walking over with a plate of fruit, and when he saw 11 coming out, he smiled and said, "Hey, Chu Yuan, come and eat some fruit." ”

"No need. 11He came to her. said, "I'm leaving." ”

Chu Fan looked at Zhang Xinxin with inquiring eyes, but Zhang Xinxin shook his head blankly.

Chu Fan put down the fruit and said, "Why did you leave so quickly?" and then sit down and chat with my aunt. ”

"No, I have something. ”

"That's right. Regarding 11's insistence, Chu Fan did not continue to persuade him, and said: "Okay, remember to come and sit more when you have time, we are all a family." ”

Zhang Zhengyu, who came out of the kitchen after hearing the sound, nodded. Then he walked outside. Chu Fan's family sent him outside the door, and when the elevator door was about to close, they were still telling him to come and sit more when he was free.

11 walked out of the building and sat in his car, and immediately took out his hand and dialed a string of numbers. This is the contact number left by Fat Duck for him, 11 didn't remember it at the time, but his memory is really good, and he only heard it once at the time. I can still remember it clearly after all this time.

Sure enough, a moment later, the voice of the fat duck came from the phone: "Who." There was something lazy in his voice, probably still sleeping.

11 said lightly: "It's me." ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Fat Duck said in a somewhat uncertain tone, "Boss, is that you?"

"Hmm. ”

"Wow, boss, it's really you. Wow, you've finally found me. ”

"Do something for me. ”

The fat duck said happily: "Okay, good." Boss, you say, don't say a thing. Ten pieces are no problem. ”

"Do you know about the arson case in Haiyan City yesterday?"

The fat duck immediately said, "Yes." ”

"Find out who did it for me. Also, Sea Salt has three gangsters. Two of them are called mallards and mice. Investigate the things they are very organized. ”

The fat duck patted his chest and shouted, "This is no problem, there will be news soon." ”

11 thought for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

"Long live the boss! Boss, you wait for me, two hours at most will definitely be news again!"

11 hung up the phone, stepped on the gas, and quickly headed for the Dark Cross base camp. It's not that he doesn't want to look for frenzy, but frenzy isn't a panacea. Sometimes, it would be faster to find out the news from people in the underworld directly, so he immediately thought of Fat Duck.

Back at the villa, the cold night and the monkeys have not yet returned. 11 went straight into the storeroom, selected an assault rifle and a submachine gun from a pile of firearms, and then went back to his room, took two pistols and loaded them.

At this moment, his phone rang.

11 took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and the name "Zhang Xinxin" was displayed on it. He picked up the phone and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Xinxin's voice came from the phone: "Brother Chu Yuan, are you home?"

"Hmm. ”

"I'm sorry, Brother Chu Yuan. ”

"What?"

"Am I you off? ”

11While doing the final checks, he said, "No." ”

"Really not angry?"

"I'm not angry. ”

"When are you going to come to my house again?"

11 Putting all the guns in a travel bag, he said, "Say it again." ”

"No, you ...... like that every time"

At this time, there was a phone connection in the 11 mobile phone. He looked at the number, it was a fat duck calling, and said, "I have something to do, let's do this first." After speaking, he didn't care about Zhang Xinxin's reaction, and went directly to the fat duck line and said, "How is it?"

"Boss, you asked the brothers on the road, the pheasant named Pheasant died suddenly yesterday morning. He and the rat were both members of the Sand Gang. ”

"Sand Gang?"

"Yes, this sand gang has a lot of power in Haiyan City. But the arson case you mentioned, there is no clue, and no one knows who did it. ”

"Got it, do you know where the headquarters of the sand gang is?"

"I don't know. ”

"Half an hour later, the first meeting in the parking lot. ”

The fat duck was stunned for a moment, and immediately cheered: "Wow! Thank you, boss! I'll be waiting for you right away." ”

11After hanging up the phone, he walked to the living room and called the frenzy on the satellite phone.

"What's the matter?"

"Frenzy, check the headquarters of the sand gang in Haiyan City. ”

"Haiyan, you won't sue me, yesterday's arson case in Haiyan has something to do with you, right?"

"Possibly. After a pause, 11 added, "Look for it right away." ”

"Okay, what about you?"

"I'm going to Haiyan. ”

"When?"

"Now. ”

"Do you want to inform Cold Night and the monkeys?"

11 said lightly: "No need." ”

"Okay, bring your liaison and keep in touch. ”

After hanging up the phone, I drove out of the villa with my travel bag.
