Ye Hehuan quietly returned to the Qin family, without alarming anyone, closed the door of the room, and she threw herself on the soft big bed.

Do you want to go out together for Christmas......

Holding the pillow and rolling back and forth, Ye Hehuan was sweet and happy in her heart, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, but she was extremely sober, thinking about how to sneak out to meet on Christmas Day, this was the first time for two people to celebrate the festival, thinking about her own eyebrows and smiling, when she was in a good mood, she would think about everything in an optimistic way.

There are still more than ten days before Christmas, and then you can let the little birds and beasts help you.

After happily deciding, Ye Hehuan raised his slender left wrist, stared at the red pomegranate bracelet for a while, and burrowed into the quilt with crooked eyebrows.

――

Turning off the ignition and hanging gear, Yu Zhongxiao sat in the car and did not immediately push the car door down.

The headlights shine through the air, and only one window leaks orange light from the dark administration building ahead.

Open the storage compartment, where a pack of cigarettes lies quietly.

Yu Zhongxiao hadn't smoked for a long time, even if it was sometimes uncomfortable, he couldn't bear to touch it.

He took a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it, took a puff, and slowly spit it out, his dark eyes narrowed slightly in the hazy smoke.

Yu Zhongxiao's face was shrouded in dim and uncertain light, and the darkness outlined his deep and stiff outline, and his expression was thoughtful.

After returning from Yunnan, Lao Qi only contacted him for the first time.

After Xiao Zhanfo's case ended, except for holiday greetings, they basically had no contact.

Under normal circumstances, only when encountering a big drug lord who is difficult to deal with, the border armed police will ask for support from special forces.

Xiao Zhanfo is such a big drug lord.

At the beginning, in order to minimize the casualties, after repeated internal discussions, under the premise that Commander Yu had no objection and his own consent, he finally decided to send Yu Zhongxiao, who was careful and steady, to Xiao Zhanfo's side as an undercover agent.

Lao Qi's sentence 'Xiao Yun is back' is still fresh in my ears......

In that anti-drug operation, Xiao Zhanfo resisted arrest and was killed, Xiao Yun was nowhere to be found, and the police have not found her since.

……

The spark of the cigarette butt was extinguished, and when a cigarette was about to burn to the end, the phone vibrated again.

"Second brother, have you arrived?" Yao Lie asked over there.

"Downstairs."

After speaking, Yu Zhongxiao hung up the phone, threw the cigarette butt into the trash can next to him through the half-lowered window, and then got out of the car.

――

The lighted conference room was on the third floor, and Yu Zhongxiao stood at the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

It was Yao Lie who came to open the door.

A strong smell of smoke wafted out of the crack in the door.

Yao Lie's originally solemn facial expression, the moment he saw Yu Zhongxiao, there was a moment of relaxation, but he didn't smile and groan, with a little heaviness, he held the doorknob and stood aside, and said in a suppressed voice: "Second brother, everyone else has already arrived." ”

Yu Zhongxiao walked into the room, and Yao Lie closed the door behind him.

Lao Qi was wearing ordinary clothes, he looked like he was about fifty years old, his expression was slightly tired, but his eyes were still very bright, and he was talking to several leaders in the group in a low voice.

The moment the door closed, everyone turned their heads to look this way.

"Coming?" Lao Qi stood up first, with a faint smile on his face, and under the light, there were a few more fine lines at the corners of his eyes.

After a brief greeting, Yu Zhongxiao sat opposite Lao Qi and listened to him talk about the current situation at the border.

Xiao Yun is back, inheriting her father's business, and bringing several other drug lords.

When Xiao Zhanfo was killed, the people around him were also arrested, and those who escaped took advantage of the chaos were the ones who protected Xiao Yun, and now that Xiao Yun is back, he does not rule out the possibility of avenging his father.

Yu Zhongxiao had been listening to Lao Qi quietly, his deep gaze stayed on the burning cigarette between Lao Qi's fingers, and the fingers of his right hand rubbed the watch strap between his left wrist.

For people engaged in special professions, the most fearful thing is not to charge into battle, but to have a concern in their hearts.

This concern may make it difficult for you to make a decision.

Yao Lie sat next to Yu Zhongxiao, he was responsible for the task in that anti-drug operation, so there was no need to deliberately avoid it, if Yu Zhongxiao really went back, it meant that he would also have to follow.

In Lao Qi's thick and rigorous voice, Yao Lie glanced at Yu Zhongxiao without a trace, but found that he couldn't understand Yu Zhongxiao's expression at the moment.

Even if it was as strict as before, it seemed that there was another kind of love in it that he had never seen.

"Xiao Yun is more cautious and cautious than Xiao Zhanfo, she seems to be able to guess our actions, even if there is information provided by an informant, several transactions are fake, and ......" Lao Qi said for a moment, his Adam's apple moved, and the next content was absolutely painful for him, the captain of the anti-drug brigade: "The armed police who participated in that operation back then have had several unprovoked accidents this month, and in the end, it was only found out that they were retaliated against, and I suspect that it has something to do with Xiao Yun." ”

Yu Zhongxiao raised his head and saw that Lao Qi seemed to be many years old in an instant, he also lit a cigarette, and said after a while: "The aftermath of those armed police has been arranged?" ”

Lao Qi flicked the cigarette ash into the ashtray, and his voice was hoarse: "The burial ceremony was held according to the martyrs, and the family also gave the corresponding pension allowance." ”

The average age of the armed police who died only
