After turning a few streets, the three of them came to the door of a Chinese bar, the decoration and decoration were full of oriental temperament. The entire façade of the bar is entirely carved in wood, with a variety of traditional Chinese motifs on it. On both sides of the bar are several Taishi chairs and wooden coffee tables, on which are the kind of teapots and teacups that are common in China, which should be used when there are many people.

The wooden sign above the entrance of the bar reads in block letters "Origin and Origin". Yang Fan especially likes the name of this bar.

"Jingle bells." With a crisp wind chime, the three of them entered the bar.

The area of the bar is not very large, but the decoration is very exquisite, and the overall tone is dark, which is very interesting. The shop is full of tables and chairs in the shape of tree roots, and the roof is hung with an old-fashioned Chinese oil lamp, which is supposed to be a modern light source.

There were some people sitting in the bustling shop, probably some Chinese people living here who also went to celebrate Christmas Eve or joined in the fun.

Directly in front of the entrance is the bar, which seems to be carved from a huge log, the log is placed horizontally on the ground, and the side facing the door is carved with a map of the Qingming River. The lower part of the log is cut off in one piece, just enough to be fixed to the ground. The top of the log is decorated with a bar, and behind the bar is a wine cabinet with a variety of liquors. A pretty lady was busy in front of the bar with her head down, and next to her were various bottles, which seemed to be bartending.

Evan sat across from the beauty, and Parker and Yang Fan sat down next to them.

The beauty raised her head and saw Evan, she was a little surprised, raised her eyebrows, put down the bottles and cans in her hand, and said in a slightly provocative tone: "Yo, isn't this the prince?" Why do you have time to come to me today? Didn't I hear you went to some devil's training camp? ”

She looked at Evan, nodded, and continued, "Well, it does look a little stronger. ”

Looking at the woman in front of him, Yang Fan was stunned on the spot. He felt that the woman opposite looked like his sister Yang Yan, although she was slightly older than Yang Yan, she was very similar in appearance and figure. is just slightly different in temperament, Yang Yan is more naïve, romantic and intellectual, while the woman in front of her has more weathered maturity and mystery.

"Of course!" Evan stretched out his right arm, showed off his muscles again, and said, "Boss, I can't even care about Christmas Eve today, and the first thing I did when I escaped from that devil's training was to come to see you!" How, is it sincere enough? Are you going to take me in today? ”

The woman who was called the proprietress was lying on the table with her upper body, her perfect back curve was unobstructed, her mouth was almost touching Evan's face, she blinked seductively, and said very simply: "No! ”

Then he stood up straight, continued to be busy with the work in his hands, and said casually: "My master told me that if a person who is destined to meet in Pingshui says that he himself came specially for you, don't appreciate it. ”

After speaking, he pushed a glass of freshly mixed wine to Evan's side and said, "Taste, this is my new research, called 'Death Will Not Come Again'." ”

"Death again?" Evan frowned, looking a little disappointed, but not too surprised, then picked up the wine and took a sip, making a good expression.

Evan is very disciplined during this time, and during training, he does not drink anything with alcohol. It seems that he really has a soft spot for this boss lady. It's a pity that people don't seem to appreciate it very much.

The proprietress looked at Yang Fan and Parker and asked, "Prince, are these two your friends?" ”

Evan put down his glass, pointed to Parker first, and introduced, "This is Parker, a top information engineer. ”

The hostess shook Parker's hand very politely and said hello.

Evan pointed at Yang Fan again, hesitated, and said, "This is Jerry Yang." He is also a Chinese, just immigrated to the United States, and is likely to settle in San Francisco. ”

The proprietress didn't mean to shake hands with Yang Fan, but just said curiously: "Oh, I didn't expect to meet a fellow Huaxia countryman!" Excuse me, where is Mr. Yang from? ”

"Marina City." Yang Fan replied.

"Oh, then we're not far away, I'm from Bincheng." The proprietress nodded, stretched out her hand, and continued: "My name is Ye Ting, please take care of me." ”

Yang Fan shook hands with her and said, "Hello, it's nice to meet you." Ye Ting on the opposite side revealed a charming feeling, a very beautiful face, seemingly casual but not vulgar. It feels like she can easily arouse the desire of any man, but it gives people a sense of distance that "can only be watched from a distance and cannot be played".

Evan suddenly thought of something, and said on the side, "Oops, boss lady." That's when I realized that we've known each other for so long, and I still don't know what your name is. It seems that my Chinese friend still has face. Hahaha. ”

Ye Ting glanced at Evan and chuckled, "Otherwise, we are destined to meet in Pingshui." ”

Then he looked at Yang Fan and Parker and asked, "What do you want to drink?" I met a fellow today, and I'm in for a treat! ”

"Just give us two non-alcoholic drinks, please." Yang Fan said.

"Okay, I'll be right away." After speaking, Ye Ting turned around and walked towards the back of the wine cabinet.

At this time, Parker looked at Evan and said, "Didn't you say that your temperament doesn't need to be dressed up, what?" Didn't work this time? Can you go back with us in the evening? ”

Evan waved his hand and sighed softly, "Hey, I haven't had a good time with her." Don't say it's me, how many rich and powerful people don't dare to touch her. I heard that her background is very deep, and she has a relationship with the underworld and the white way, so it's not easy to mess with. And my father also told me, don't provoke this woman. ”

After speaking, Evan stabbed Yang Fan and said, "I said Yang Fan, I think he still has some meaning for you." You are all Chinese, and it is good for this kind of person to make more friends. ”

"Maybe, but I still believe in myself more." Yang Fan lowered his head and said.

Ye Ting mixed a non-alcoholic drink for Yang Fan and Parker. The three of them sat at the bar, drinking and reminiscing about the training camp until the early hours of the morning.

On the contrary, the number of customers in the store gradually increased, and it may be after 24 o'clock, many celebrations are over, and everyone starts their own entertainment.

At this time, 4 Americans walked in, and it looked like a family had come for Christmas. The couple in their 40s, with two teenage children, a man and a woman, sat on the booth next to them not far from Yang Fan.

The boy was a little older, and he was supposed to be the older brother. Sure enough, the waiter brought the menu, and the little girl immediately grabbed it and said, "Brother, don't look at it!" My brother said, whatever I order, my brother likes to eat. ”

The two adults did not speak, and the man patted the boy on the head in encouragement.

Yang Fan smiled faintly, and couldn't help but think of his family. He quickly shifted his attention, he knew that if he kept looking at the memories that were full of tragedy written by him, he would go crazy sooner or later.

At this time, Ye Ting came over and asked, "Do you want anything to drink?" We're running out of non-alcoholic beverages! ”

Evan was about to say something when Parker suddenly said, "I want a glass of wine, the strong kind." ”

As he spoke, Parker never looked up. Evan and Yang Fan didn't notice Parker's mood change, the two looked at each other, not knowing what was happening, but they could clearly feel that Parker's mood was very low at this time.

"Just do as he says, and get us two some drinks." Evan said to Ye Ting.

"Okay." Ye Ting agreed, and put a glass of wine in front of Parker, probably vodka or something. Parker took a small sip and then drank the whole glass in one gulp. Evan wanted to reach out to stop it, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Parker coughed violently after drinking, then covered his face with his hands as if crying. Evan and Yang Fan didn't bother him, just waited for him to say something.

The three of them were silent for a while, and Parker slowly raised his head and said lightly, "Evan, didn't you ask me why I wanted to participate in the training before?" I'll tell you now. Evan wiped tears from his eyes as he told Evan and Yang Fan about his experience.

Parker was born in an ordinary family in Washington, D.C., his parents were ordinary workers in the company, and he had a sister who was 2 years younger than him. Although the family life is relatively poor, it is still quite happy. Parker showed a talent for information and programming at a very young age, and in middle school he was introduced to the field by chance when he encountered a hacker, and he quickly became a top genius in the field.

Once, in order to prove his ability to a friend who was going to apply for the CIA, he unknowingly stole all the CIA test questions. His friend leaked a flaw during the interview, and the CIA found him through Parker's friend. However, instead of arresting him, they hired him at a high salary and assigned him to a special secret task force. Since then, Parker has become a professional hacker. Since then, the family's life has gradually improved.

Due to an accident, the mission of the secret team fails. In order to preserve the reputation of the Order, Parker was abandoned by the Order. The group deliberately allowed Parker to discover and publish the message they had designed, and the message had a big ripple effect, and many people were implicated in it.

In order to keep the secret forever, one night, they sent someone to infiltrate Parker's house in order to kill people and destroy the evidence. Parker had long thought that there might be such a day, and he set up an emergency escape route in his room in advance. But he didn't expect that his parents, who were originally on a business trip that day, actually came home early, and the other party didn't catch Parker, but he caught his parents, and Parker almost saw them killed.

My sister was not at home at the time and escaped for the time being, but there has been no news since. Since then, Parker has been searching for his sister, and Parker has always believed that she is still alive.

Later, the head of T3's intelligence department approached him, valued his unique abilities, and brought him into T3. Parker insists on being in the combat squad, and he wants to become stronger, on the one hand, to avenge his parents. On the other hand, it is to find your sister.

Parker loves his sister very much, and the two have a very good relationship. Because the family's financial situation is not very good, Parker did not dare to disclose his identity after joining the CIA, but lied that he was a programmer in a small software company, so the family was relatively frugal. The family only goes out to eat together on Christmas Eve, and every time Parker leaves the right to order food to his sister, he likes to see his sister happy, so he always says, "Whatever my sister orders, I like to eat." ”

Parker and Yang Fan have similar experiences, and they both live for similar goals, so he treats Yang Fan as his own from the beginning. Parker understands Yang Fan, sympathizes with him, and is trying his best to help him.

Yang Fan and Evan listened quietly, and they finally understood that Parker had such a heavy past in his heart.

After Parker finished speaking, Yang Fan asked lightly: "Parker, have you found any clues about your sister over the years?" ”

"Yes." Parker took a sip of the wine in his glass and whispered, "My sister and I are both good at computer programs, and there used to be a secret network information contact port called 'Donut'. ”

Parker raised his head, as if remembering something good, and finally the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said with a happy face: "Donuts and vanilla ice cream were her favorite snacks when she was a child." My sister and I are both 'wanted criminals', and this information port cannot be exposed for a long time. So the information I put in it had to be cleared within 3 seconds, and she was the same. ”

Yang Fan nodded and asked, "That means that you must log in to that port within those 3 seconds at the same time to be able to contact each other!" ”

"Yes." Parker nodded helplessly and sighed, "This odds are too small, but I never gave up!" ”

Evan nodded as well and asked, "Parker, do you have any pictures of your sister or anything else?" Since you haven't found her online, maybe I can help you find her through other channels. T3's network of resources and intelligence is very strong, and I believe it will be able to help you! ”

"Her name is Ashley." At the mention of his sister's name, a happy expression appeared on Parker's face again, and he said softly: "She has no obvious characteristics, when she was a child, she liked to have short hair, and her personality was like a boy, I always called her 'brother', not sister." She thought I was old and always called me 'uncle' instead of brother, and we kept calling ourselves that until we grew up. I can't store her photos on any mobile device, and the CIA will keep tracking us unless we get a pardon. I'm sorry, I can't show you what she looks like! Before I'm absolutely sure, exposing myself by doing so will also cause trouble for T3. ”

Yang Fan patted Parker's shoulder and said, "Parker, let's work together, I believe we will all find our relatives!" ”

"yes." Parker nodded and said, "Yang Fan, I am more confident after meeting you. I admire your fearlessness. You have more things on you than I do, but you never complain, you don't be negative, you just try to be in the moment and take every second seriously. Yang Fan, it was you who inspired me, thank you! ”

After saying that, Parker drank two glasses of that very strong wine in a row. At around 3 a.m., Evan drove Yang Fan and the unconscious Parker back to his villa.

By the time Parker woke up, it was already past 8 o'clock the next night, Yang Fan and Evan took turns to take care of Parker, and the first Christmas after the three of them met passed absurdly.

When Parker woke up, none of the three of them brought it up again, they cleaned up, returned to the old base, and took a helicopter to the new base to continue the brutal training
