Chapter 009: Goodbye Lover
The plane had an hour to take off. Yang Fan sat alone on the sofa in the VIP waiting room, holding the newspaper of the day in one hand and a cup of steaming coffee in the other, leisurely enjoying a rare leisure time.
The news in the newspaper did not attract Yang Fan, and the whole page was mostly some pre-Christmas propaganda and some celebrity gossip. The entertainment industry in Xiangjiang is also much more developed than that of mainland China, but Yang Fan is not very interested in these.
Suddenly, Yang Fan heard footsteps approaching. Although the sound of shoes stepping on the carpet was very small, the alertness that had been cultivated over the years of battlefield survival was still Yang Fan's keen sense that there were two people walking towards him.
Judging by the sound of footsteps, those two were definitely specially trained masters. He quietly lowered the coffee cup slowly on the table, his free hands ready to deal with the crisis that could occur at any time.
He couldn't help but be surprised, could it be that he would still have an enemy in Xiangjiang, or maybe the enemy in the United States had found this place before.
"Don't be nervous! It seems that you still don't quite adapt to the life of ordinary people! A familiar voice came from behind him.
Yang Fan looked back and saw that Lu Zhengwei and Li Yibin walked to his side one after the other. The two of them casually went to the opposite side of Yang Fan, and the service staff in the VIP waiting room served two cups of coffee very enthusiastically.
Seeing Lu Zhengwei and Li Yibin, Yang Fan didn't know whether to be happy or worried. He hadn't seen them for a long time, and Yang Fan knew very well that they would never appear in front of him for no reason.
"Mr. Lu, Brother Bin, long time no see! How are you guys doing? Why did you suddenly come to Xiangjiang? ”
Lu Zhengwei took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "Haha, we are all doing well!" When your business is over, I also get a month's vacation! What a rarity!
Now, the project of genetic weapons is in its final stages. No, I have to come back and continue to work hard. I don't know how long my old bones will last. Hahahaha! ”
"The last stage? I thought this mission was over! ”
"Yes, in the part you are involved in, the mission is indeed over. But there are still some issues that need to be addressed. Lao Lu and I came to Xiangjiang this time for this purpose. ”
Seeing that Yang Fan was a little surprised, Li Yibin then added: "Yang Fan." You should remember that Zhang Dacheng once told you that there is also a data file about Huaxia gene samples that is missing! ”
Yang Fan nodded and said, "I remember." How? Have you found the whereabouts of the file? ”
Li Yibin shook his head and said, "No! Not yet. However, we suspect that the file has always been in Mr. X's hands! ”
"Mr. X? So, is there any whereabouts for him? ”
"Not yet!"
Lu Zhengwei put down the coffee and said a little nervously: "However, according to our analysis, that X is very likely to be a foreign Chinese." Since the destruction of the genetic base, we and the Scales team have been tracking him down. I think that if I can find him, I will also find the data file of the Huaxia gene sample! ”
"Expatriate Chinese? Then why did you come to Xiangjiang, do you have any clues? Could it be that the 'X' appeared in Hong Kong? ”
"That's right!"
Lu Zhengwei took out a photo, buckled it on the table, pushed it to Yang Fan's side, and said in a low voice: "This is our people who took photos in Malaysia, Singapore, Baodao City and Xiangjiang City not long ago.
The photograph shows the same person, who has been frequently seen in the above locations in the last three months, and looks very much like X in terms of physical and morphological characteristics. However, we don't know for sure yet. ”
Yang Fan picked up the photo, skimmed it quickly, and then snapped it back to the desktop.
The photograph was taken from 45° down from the left side, and the person in the photograph was about 40 years old, of medium height, wearing a black trench coat with a neat back comb, shaking hands and talking to an American.
Importantly, he is on a cane in his right hand and looks like he should have limited mobility in his right leg.
Lu Zhengwei took back the photo, put it in his pocket, picked up the coffee again, and said, "Yang Fan, I remember you once said that you hit X in the right knee with a rifle. ”
"That's right. But that alone doesn't confirm that he's X! ”
"I know! Judging from the results of the investigation, this person has an innocent background and is an investor! However, he has only recently entered the investment world, and the projects he has invested in are all related to arms and peripheral businesses. That's what caught our attention! ”
Yang Fan nodded, looked up at Li Yibin and Lu Zhengwei, and asked, "Mr. Lu, Brother Bin, what do you need me to do?" ”
Li Yibin smiled "haha" and said, "Yang Fan." The genetic weapons thing is over, and you're doing a great job! The rest of the matter has nothing to do with you!
However, after all, you are a Chinese person, and you are the one who knows the most about genetic weapons. So, Lao Lu and I would like to ask you to help keep an eye on this person.
Your intelligence network may be more efficient than we are at this kind of thing! In addition, your SK Security Company has a wide range of businesses, and you may even be connected to this X! ”
"Well, that's no problem! Brother Bin, Mr. Lu, I can help find out the news of that person, and I will help as much as possible!
I don't want to go back to my old life, though. It's not just me, it's my sister and brothers! ”
"I understand!"
Lu Zhengwei put down the coffee cup and said with a serious face: "Yang Fan." Don't worry, neither we nor the military will force you, you have already paid enough for the country!
However, your experience has made you who you are now, and you are not destined to be an ordinary person, and there is no way to change it!
I, Yibin, the Scales Squad, and those brothers of yours are all the same! That's the hallmark of what we do, and once you're in, it's hard to get out!
Yibin and I can guarantee that we will never disturb your normal life, you are now an ordinary Chinese citizen who has settled in Xiangjiang, and you are also an excellent citizen! Even if we help us do things, we won't be known by anyone, and we won't get into any trouble! ”
"Good! I understand! Thank you! Mr. Lu, Brother Bin! If you really need help, or if you're in danger, our Team B is here to help! ”
Yang Fan couldn't refuse their request at all. Lu Zhengwei is right, doing what they do is actually a lifelong career, and what Group B can get is already the best result.
Moreover, with their relationship with the Reverse Scale Squad, especially his relationship with Meng Xufeng, Han Long and Han Meng, including Bruce, Natalie and Kuaishou, it is impossible for them to stand idly by if the Reverse Scale Team really needs help.
Li Yibin nodded, sighed, and said, "Yang Fan." Stop saying thank you to us. Lao Lu and I really can't afford it! Actually, it's always been that we should thank you! ”
Yang Fan shook his head lightly and said, "Brother Bin." Mr. Lu is right, the past experience is that we have become who we are now, which is irreversible. With our relationship, it's nothing. No matter how I say it, I am also Chinese! ”
"Good!" Lu Zhengwei said with a relieved face: "Yibin and I really didn't misunderstand you!" I've said this many times. Today, I'm going to say it again. Yang Fan, you have to believe it. You and your brothers have paid for the country, we have all seen it! ”
"Thank you, Mr. Lu and Brother Bin! For us, that's enough! ”
"Okay, then we won't bother you!"
Li Yibin stood up, suddenly remembered something, and said, "That's right, Yang Fan." Ye Ting asked me to tell you, if you have time, go back and have a look! Ye Ting, Kuchel, Blade, and the Reverse Scale Squad miss you very much. Don't forget about our brothers who once lived and died together because you live a comfortable life! ”
Yang Fan also stood up and said, "Okay, I will!" Brother Bin! Please tell Ye Ting, the next time we meet, I will definitely fulfill my promise! Please take care of her! ”
"Okay, I'll get that on that. Well, goodbye! Yang Fan, take care! ”
"Take care! Brother Bin, Mr. Lu! ”
Yang Fan shook hands with the two, and Lu Zhengwei and Li Yibin left the VIP waiting room.
Ye Ting, Yang Fan has never forgotten her. In this life, he will regard Ye Ting as one of the most important people in his life, and in his heart, there has always been a place for Ye Ting.
After the two left, Yang Fan picked up the newspaper again. At this time he was very calm, as if all this was expected by him, or that he was used to, and even a little expectant, this kind of life.
After a long flight, on Christmas afternoon, Yang Fan finally came to Anna's tombstone again.
For Yang Fan, there may not be anything in this world that can be compared to meeting his lover on this day. This is what he looks forward to the most, and at the same time scares the most.
Anna's tombstone and the surrounding flowers and plants were kept clean. Directly in front of the tombstone are two small bottles of Carlsberg beer, one of which has been drunk. The other bottle was not uncapped, and the bottom of the bottle was pressed with a small folded note.
Yang Fan took the beer in his hand, opened the note, and wrote: I know you will come. This time, I gave you a chance to spend time alone with her.
Yang Fan smiled faintly, sat down in front of Anna's tombstone, and with a slight force of his thumb, the beer bottle cap was opened.
Holding the beer bottle and looking at his lover who was close at hand, Yang Fan smiled slightly and said softly: "Anna, I'm back!" Are you alright? ”
Yang Fan took a sip of beer, tears streaming down his cheeks, and he reached out to catch the first tears that slipped down his cheeks.
Looking at the tears spreading between his fingers, he smiled reluctantly and said softly, "Anna, you know what? This time, I promised myself that I would not cry in front of you. Because I know you don't want to see me sad. But..."
He wiped the tears from his face again and continued: "I just realized that for a person who prides himself on being strong, when his vulnerable side is exposed, it is really too difficult to pretend to be strong?
Anna, from the day we met, I couldn't hide anything from you. You know me too well and know too well what I want. You even know myself better than I do.
If you have to show your vulnerability to another person, then I am only willing to show it in front of you.
Ye Ting said that we will miss it because we love each other too much, and she may be right. If we... There's one who can be a little selfish, perhaps..."
Yang Fan paused, took another sip of beer, and continued: "Anna. Now, everything is in the past. WTD was completely dismantled, and their sins could only be reconciled after they went to hell.
The genetic base has been destroyed, your hometown has returned to near peace, and this place will slowly get better. However, the stone marten also paid with his life, which he said was compensation for his previous sins. I think you'll be able to see him in heaven.
And Tonas and Little Seven... I wonder if you have seen them in heaven. I think it will be, Xiao Qi will definitely find you for me.
If you see them, please tell Xiao Qi for me, thank you for its company, it will always be my family. Please also tell Thomas that I am only grateful to him. ”
Yang Fan wiped his tears and continued, "Anna, Captain Rogers is also dead. I didn't kill him, but I knew he wouldn't survive. A person's faith collapses, and continuing to live is like a shell without a soul. Rogers, that's the kind of person.
He told me where my adoptive father was before he died, and I am grateful to him. Then, I rescued my adoptive father, which was an unexpected surprise for me, or a mercy of fate.
My adoptive father was paralyzed, and I asked the doctor, and it was difficult for him to recover, and he could only spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. But he's still so strong, and, he's... I'd love to see you too.
Also, Kevin and Alice are married. But their wedding was a bit regrettable, as Alice had invited the two of us to her wedding. But you...
I know that you must not be absent, you must be watching us from heaven. To make up for it, I really want their child to be born first, so that I can be the godfather of the child. Also, I would tell my child that he has a godmother who watches over him in heaven.
In addition to the two of them, there are Ali and Daniella, Bruce and Sandra, Ian and Eve, Jason and Jessica, Daniel and Rachel. The six couples of them held a group wedding at Ye Ting's place.
Come to think of it, that's our biggest takeaway. Almost half of the B group is married, and they have all found their happiness and will continue to be happy.
Hey, Irina once said that she was alone with Isabel and Natalie, so they wanted to travel the world together, and they did it. I know you're worried about Irina, too. Don't worry, I will definitely help you take care of her and protect her with my life.
Half a year ago, I returned to Huaxia and met my adoptive mother, who had been separated for many years. She...... Still so kind, for 7 years, she has been waiting at home alone, it is she who has guarded our home, so that I can still have a home after many years of wandering.
Moreover, I also brought Nadi and Nava back to China. It is...... The family we met together in Loei three years ago. Now, both of them and Anne live with my parents.
I guess that's a kind of compensation for them. Maybe all this is really fate. Although there is a lot of pain in this fate, we can only choose to accept it.
Also, when I returned to Huaxia this time, I also met Xue Qing, who was my girlfriend in Huaxia that I told you. She remarried, married to a lawyer. That person is not bad, with a stable life and a good family. Hopefully she... They can be happy.
By the way, we agreed to meet in China on February 5 next year. At that time, the people in Group B, as well as Irina and Isabel, would all go to Huaxia. You won't be absent either! Is that right? ”
Yang Fan wiped his tears again, raised the wine bottle into the air, but did not drink it, and continued: "Anna, in fact, I have always been afraid to come to see you. I didn't keep my promise to you, I didn't give you the life you wanted, I ...... I'm sorry for you. So, it wasn't until it all came to an end that I had the courage to face you.
Because...... I don't know if my current self is qualified to stand in front of you. Am I what you want to see now? ”
Yang Fan stroked the photo of Anna on the tombstone, looking at her kind smiling face, and couldn't stop crying anymore.
"Anna, I miss you so much!"
Yang Fan hugged Anna's tombstone, feeling that he was hugging Anna's soul, that feeling was both familiar and unfamiliar.
"You're not the only one who misses her!" A familiar voice came from behind.
