All the communication equipment on the body was turned off and the power was cut. In order not to be found, he got out of the car and changed to a taxi every time he passed an unmonitored section, and a total of three taxis were changed along the way.

This is the trick that Yuan Lu learned from criminals to avoid tracking when he went out on an undercover visit.

The taxi stopped in front of the Four Seasons Hotel, and Yuan Lu turned over the cash on his body, and after barely paying the fare, there was not much cash left.

It is not so easy to withdraw the money, at least the bank system will record the location of the cash withdrawal.

The driver helped her take out her luggage from the trunk, and Yuan Lu thanked her and went to the hotel lobby.

Yu Weiwu helped her book a room in advance, and Yuan Lu only needed to inform the hotel front desk when she arrived, and she could check in without showing identification.

The elevator stopped on the twenty-eighth floor of the hotel, and Yuan Lu found the room according to the prompt card given by the front desk, and opened the door with the door card, slightly surprised.

Yu Weiwu was waiting for her in the room, and when she heard a noise at the door, she saw that it was Yuan Lu coming, so she helped her carry her suitcase into the room.

Yuan Lu was slightly embarrassed and said, "It's so late, why don't you go home to rest?" ”

Yu Weiwu glanced at her lightly: "I can't get through to call you, it's a little late, and the people in the hotel said that no one has stayed in the room yet, so I don't feel at ease and come and see it in person." ”

Yuan Lu Nene nodded and said, "Oh, I'm off." Reversing on the road delayed a little time, and it was not easy to take a taxi at night. ”

In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Hara Lu pretended to pack her luggage.

She changed her hotel slippers, half-crouched on the ground and put down her suitcase, unzipped it, and began to pack away her toiletries.

Picking out the toothpaste and toothbrush from the travel carrying bag, and just as she wanted to put them on the coffee table beside her, Yuan Lu felt a shadow cast behind her, and the oppression of the approaching shadow made her turn around and look up vigilantly.

Yuan Lu's eyes stared at Yu Weiwu defensively, following his gaze until he found that his eyes seemed to stay on his chest.

Yuan Lu lifted the collar of the T-shirt, pretended to blow casually, and said, "Isn't the air conditioning in the hotel not very good?" I'll check it out. ”

Lift your leg back and distance yourself from him.

"It's central air conditioning, just call the front desk and let people check in the background."

Yu Weiwu's hands were in his pockets, and his mouthpiece couldn't help but dry a little.

When she was half-crouched on the ground, the tight T-shirt clinging to her thin rib line, the skin on her waist was white and shining in the light, her hair was all turned to the side, revealing her white neck, she had just arrived at the hotel from outside, her body was still stuck to the damp sweat of summer, and a few strands of wet hair seductively stuck to her cheeks, revealing half of her cheeks that had become puffy because of the stuffiness.

is different from the sexy and wild in the live broadcast room, she is so beautiful that people can't build any heart wall to guard against.

The cherries in May are ripe, and the soft red skin rubs and moves under the teeth, and the plump juice will soak the entire tongue coating after one bite. This cherry has always hung high on the branches, and anyone can't help but want to taste such sweetness, let alone at this moment.

Had he never been so eager to get someone, had he been lost in the lost sandbar for so long to see this tempting cherry become so and irrational?

His eyes were like eagles staring at the prey, sharp and accurate, and he was silent for a long time, calming down a little before he said, "Have a good rest, and take you to see the defense lawyer tomorrow morning." ”

Yuan Lu sensed some kind of familiar information in his eyes, and quickly understood what he was holding back, and turned his head with hot cheeks and said, "Thank you......"

Hearing his departing footsteps, accompanied by a cold voice: "Actually, even if you go to see the defense lawyer, it will be useless, because you can't help anything at all." ”

"But at least I'll have to stay for this time." Yuan Lu slowly clenched his fists, "Letting me live a peaceful life alone from the wind and waves is tantamount to throwing me into an abyss of sin, the Qiao family has raised me for so many years, I said that I can't walk away at this time." ”

Yu Weiwu gradually stopped his steps, turned around, and looked at her: "Yuan Lu." ”

"Huh?"

He looked at her from afar, his eyes moved up and down back and forth, and for a while, he hooked a smile on his lips and said, "If you really want to do something for the Qiao family, maybe you can put some effort into me." ”

A certain string in Yuan Lu's heart was finally stirred, and she knew that Yu Weiwu had always been a shrewd businessman and would never make a loss-making business. He used her to hype up hot spots and support her to the position of anchor, with so much investment in the early stage, and now that the show is popular, his investment and income are already a little insignificant.

If he didn't know who was going to kill the Qiao family this time, Yuan Lu would never have come to Yu Weiwu with such a clear goal.

She has been intentionally or unintentionally creating opportunities for Yu Weiwu to open her mouth, so when she heard that Yu Weiwu finally began to talk, Yuan Lu's eyes were more of suppressed excitement.

There was a dark despair in the excitement.

Even she didn't know if this was a step by step towards a cliff of no return.

Yu Weiwu approached her step by step, and Yuan Lu retreated all the way until she was forced into a corner.

"Haven't you been waiting for me to speak, why are you still holding back?" His eyes were very indifferent, and he could only hear the ups and downs of his emotions from his tone.

Yuan Lu turned his head away from looking at him: "Can we sit down and talk?" ”

Yu Weiwu sneered, leaned closer to her, pressed her lips and teeth to her ears, and exhaled in a low voice: "I think we will have a better atmosphere when we talk in bed." ”

Yuan Lu clenched his fists and tried to calm himself, but his body still trembled uncontrollably......

"You ......"

"I'm staying in the room next door to you, pack up and come talk to me." He stared at the sweat on her forehead and said without emotion.

He withdrew from her, and Yuan Lu was suddenly pardoned.

There was a sound of the door closing, and the original heron bit her lip and gradually let go.

The body seemed to be drained of strength, and the whole person collapsed to the corner of the wall, and his back slid down little by little against the wall.

The phone slipped out of the pocket of its pants and landed on the floor.

Pitch black screen, dead room.

He should have returned to the hotel from the real room by now......

Yuan Lu picked up the phone, squeezed it tightly in his hand, closed his eyes in pain, and curled up together, hugging his knees.

She looked up at the window, it was dark...... I can't see any starlight.

The emerald on the ring finger of her right hand flickered like a faint starlight under the crystal chandelier in the room, she pursed her lips and rubbed the emerald gemstone repeatedly with the thumb of her left hand.

The secret of the emerald - in fact, it is nothing, it is just an ordinary stone, which is crowned with the color of the former imperial court and becomes invaluable.

Before she died, the old lady told her a secret that this emerald ring was actually just an ordinary colored stone. When the old lady got married, there was actually only an empty shell left in the family, but in order to keep the old lady from being despised by her in-laws, the old lady's mother called Qiao Zhengqi's grandfather to come to him, told him the truth, and used this stone to test his sincerity. If the uncle agrees to use this ring as a relic of the previous dynasty to confuse the truth, then it will be regarded as the old lady's dowry at the bottom of the box, and the marriage will be done smoothly; If my uncle doesn't agree, then the marriage will fall through.

The old lady told Sù Yuan Lu that Qiao Zhengqi's grandfather said this at the time: "I don't have the ability to turn stones into gold, but I have the ability to earn a real ring for my daughter-in-law, no matter what Qing Palace relics are, even the treasures of the Heavenly Palace, I will still send them to her." ”

In a very crazy tone, when the old lady narrated after more than half a century, Yuan Lu could still feel the kind of love between the old lady and the old general, once identified, you must be you.

This is the treasure that the old lady treasured all her life, and although she later had many valuable rings, the significance of this touchstone will never be replaced.

The old lady gave her the ring, which was equivalent to giving her the best memories of her life.

Yuan Lu stared at the ring on her hand and thought: The best memory of her life may end here.

Take off the ring and put it back in the jewelry box.

Close the lid - no more light from the colored stones.

*********

The door of the next room was hidden, and with a gentle push, the door opened.

There was a spare room card for the room at the entrance, and Yuan Lu glanced at it, didn't speak, and quietly walked inside.

Looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room, you can see the landmark tower of City C, and the whole city feels like it has been trampled underfoot.

Every floor in the room is covered with a long plush beige carpet, and Yuan Lu is stepping on it with slippers as if he is stepping on soft cotton, and Yu Weiwu's custom suits are hung in a row on rotating hangers, and it can be seen that he lives in this room permanently.

The lights in the room were dim, except for a chandelier in the main hall, and no lights were turned on in the rest of the place.

Yu Weiwu came out of the bathroom, wiped his hair with a bath towel, and walked in the direction of the refrigerator.

"Drink something?"

Hara sat down on the sofa and watched the silent movie playing on the curtain, the classic movie "Roman Holiday", which shows the princess riding an old-fashioned bicycle through the streets of Rome.

"Mineral water will do."

Yu Weiwu carried two bottles of water and sat down beside her.

Yuan Lu's body obviously leaned to the side, subconsciously wanting to keep a distance from him.

He picked up the remote control and turned on the sound of the movie, adjusting the volume so that the two could hear what the other was saying while watching the movie.

He asked, "If one day you were to do it again, what would you most like to do?" ”

Yuan Lu took the water he unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip, thought for a while, and then said: "I won't let myself be in such a helpless and desperate situation again, what I want to do most is to make myself strong enough." ”

Strong enough to protect everyone who wants to protect.

He smiled and said, "What do you want to ask me?" ”

Yuan Lu's expression was very stern, so he stared at him without blinking: "If my question really offends you, please don't be angry." ”

He didn't answer, just unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle in his hand, craned his neck and took a big sip.

Yuan Lu frowned and said, "The first question, who is the person you want to commemorate on January 17th every year?" ”

His expression didn't show any emotion: "My mother." ”

Yuan Lu bit her lip, a little hesitant, but still asked: "Second question, is your surname Xu?" ”

He laughed, put his hand on the arm of the sofa, rested his head on it, and squinted at her for a long time: "Yes." ”

Yuan Lu took a breath: "Then what is the relationship between you and Xu Chu?" ”

His smile didn't change: "Cousin." ”

Yuan Lu was slightly surprised, originally she thought they were brother and sister.

Yu Weiwu did not shy away from saying: "Do you need me to help you sort out the connection between the answers to these questions, and then make a deduction?" Hara, in front of me, I allow you to offend my taboos, and if there is anything you want to ask, I will sue you. ”

He smiled lightly and tilted his head to look at her, and said slowly: "Xu Chu's father Xu Jiang is my eldest uncle, I am Xu Yang's illegitimate son, my mother is a primary school teacher, died on the way to pick me up from school on January 17 twenty-four years ago, and the cause of death is suspected to be a car accident. I have been living in exile for so many years, until a few years ago, Xu Yang's son, that is, my brother, died of brain cancer, and Xu Yang urgently needed blood to inherit his mantle before he recalled me to China. Until then, I had always had the surname Xu, and one of the conditions for me to return to China was to change my surname to my mother's surname. ”

Xu Jiang and Xu Yang, these two characters whose names alone are enough to shake half of China.

Yuan Lu was silent, Xu Jiang - it was the owner of the hand that choked the Qiao family's throat behind his back this time, he was Yu Weiwu's uncle......
