Chapter 6 Foothold

"Alright, alright, why can't you two sit down and have a good talk." Poppy pressed Yan Junli with one hand and the skeleton with the other to let them sit on the sofa, "Scholar Doctor Yang, can you calm down?" ”

"I think...... I just don't know what to say anymore. Yang Wenbin, who was standing on the side, said dryly.

"Well, explain why this scumbag didn't die in the explosion, but now lives in a luxury villa in City A!" Yan Junli spread his hands.

"Hey! Scum? The skeleton sitting on the other side of the couch immediately became dissatisfied and protested, "I thought you would think about me after I had been gone for so long?" ”

"Oh why?" Yan Junli sneered unceremoniously, "Is it just because you almost killed all of us?" ”

"Okay, boys, can't you say a few words calmly?" Poppy smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, he doesn't pose a threat to you now, the drug lord who was shocked at the time is now just one of my dogs." ”

“…… I'll be a little happier when you say cats. The skeleton muttered quietly.

"What's going on?" Yang Wenbin asked.

"It's very simple, I'm just a businessman." The skeleton stretched out his hands to the two men, "What about the businessman?" As long as there is a greater interest, they will choose to defect. ”

"That explosion was planned by you and Poppy, right?" Yang Wenbin asked.

"No, we didn't know about the explosion, but I planned the skeleton's suspended animation." Poppy said with a shrug.

"At that time, I was hunted down and killed by you, and you collected almost all the evidence of my crime, and it was only a matter of time before I was arrested, even if I fought back desperately, I knew very well." The skeleton continued, "Just as I was being pushed to my train of thought, this, Poppy, confessed her true identity to me, and we made a deal. ”

"She saved your life, and you did something for her?" Yan Junli asked, "And you agreed?" ”

The skeleton spread his hands, "What choice did I have at that time?" To live or to perish, I don't choose to perish anyway. ”

"yes, of course." Yang Wenbin recalled what happened before the explosion and shook his head, "It was the poppy that knocked you down at that time, and none of us had a close look to see if you really fainted. Then it didn't take long for Shi Lize, who was strapped to the bomb, to attract all our attention, and no one would notice if you were still lying on the ground or slipping down the stairs. ”

"Then you ran to City A, hid like a rat in such a place, and waited for the day when the turmoil passed, and it would be good to make a comeback, right?" Yan Junli said.

"Yes, that's it." The skeleton nodded in satisfaction.

"Skeletons! I knew you weren't that easy to kill. Yan Junli glared at him.

"That's a compliment. Oh, by the way, the skeleton has been dead for a long time, so you should call me Zhou Mu. "Skeleton, no, it was Zhou Mu who said in a good time, "What about you?" Why did you suddenly come here? ”

"It's a long story." Yang Wenbin tried his best to concisely recount the entire process of the incident to Zhou Mu, who nodded from time to time while listening.

"In my absence, you have a lot of stories." Zhou Mu touched his chin thoughtfully, revealing a somewhat mocking smirk, "This is really ironic, now you are also a hidden mouse, or hiding under the eaves of my big mouse." ”

"Don't confuse us with people like you," Yan Junli let out a "snort" sound from his nose, then he sat up straight and looked at Zhou Mu directly, and asked, "Can we trust you?" ”

"Do you have any other choice?" Zhou Mu showed a faint smile.

Poppy smiled, got up from the sofa, patted Yan Junli's shoulder, and rubbed Zhou Mu's head, "Very good, then I'll go first, there are still tasks to be handed over." Let's just get along and try not to kill each other. ”

There was a soft "click" as the door closed, leaving three large men staring in the room.

It was Zhou Mu who broke the silence first: "...... Uh, if you guys don't mind, I'm going to put my pants on first? ”

"Beer or wine?"

Yang Wenbin stood on the precious carpet in the living room, looking across the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. As night approaches, the bustling and unfamiliar city gradually melts into the darkness, and the bits of light on the highway flow quickly into the field of vision, echoing the quiet lights of the street lamps. The moonlight is there, but it's almost about to be replaced by the splendor of the city.

There are so many things happening in the past few days that people can't react at all. A week ago, he was still studying the prison case, but now he has been cut through the door of the ghost with a hole in his chest, and he has somehow become a "dead man", and another "dead man" is standing behind him and asking him what he wants to drink.

Even for him, it was a little too surreal.

Now that Poppy is gone, let them contact her if they have anything before leaving; Xiaohong has returned to City C and is following Xia Baiyan's case; And Yan Junli just went out, saying that he was buying some daily necessities, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back. As for Yang Wenbin, because he couldn't be exposed to the camera, he was left in the house, and he was big-eyed and small-eyed with his former enemies.

"Your scenery here is too good, isn't it? How much does such a house cost? Yang Wenbin didn't answer Zhou Mu's question, but let out a sigh.

"Well, it's a fraction for me." Zhou Mu said very modestly and asked again, "Beer or red wine?" ”

Yang Wenbin looked back helplessly, "Can I choose 'not to drink'?" ”

"I can't."

"Let's beer, then." Yang Wenbin sighed and sat on the sofa.

Zhou Mu put the beer bottle on the table, sat down too, and looked at Yang Wenbin with interest, "In order to celebrate the reunion of old friends, how can you not drink some wine?" ”

"Don't talk so fakely, as if you really want to see us." Yang Wenbin muttered.

The beer bottle was pried open with a "pop", and Zhou Mu poured beer into the two cups and pushed one of them over.

"Believe it or not, I mean it. Although you almost killed me, you and the black cat are still the people I admire the most in my life. It's better that it's because you almost killed me that I like you so much. Zhou Mu smiled, raised his glass, and raised his eyebrows. Yang Wenbin had no choice, so he had to raise his cup and touch him.

"Doctor Yang, I can see that you have changed a lot." Zhou Mu took a sip of beer.

"Really? Where. Yang Wenbin said absent-mindedly.

"Everywhere." Zhou Mu smiled, unable to see the look in his eyes, "Let's put it this way, when I first met you, you were a complete outsider." ”

"Can you tell that?"

"A high school student is as tall as an adult, but you can tell at a glance that he's a kid."

"yes." Yang Wenbin smiled self-deprecatingly, took a sip of beer, and suddenly felt that there were some complicated tastes in his heart, he opened his mouth, but only said one sentence, "...... A lot has happened. ”

"Indeed." Zhou Mu agreed, "You haven't slept for a few days?" ”

Yang Wenbin was stunned, "I'm ...... I don't know. He took a deep breath, lowered his head, and buried his face in the palm of his hand. The fear of being hunted down, the thirst for the truth, and the pressure of the investigation were about to bring him down, and Yang had to be very careful to prevent himself from collapsing.

"Honestly, I don't even know how it happened." Yang Wenbin pulled his hair fiercely, "I don't understand, why would they want to kill me?" I didn't know about this Olive Branch Project from beginning to end, why did the clown and the sand eagle stare at me? ”

"Maybe it's because you're talented?" Zhou Mu flattened his mouth, "If I want to stare at you, too." ”

"That's different, is it?" Yang Wenbin sighed, "I don't understand, why did things turn out like this?" It doesn't make sense at all, there's a key part missing from this whole thing, and I'm ...... Honestly, now I can't trust anyone at all. For example, the shot that poppy shot me in the chest, was she really trying to save me or did she really want to kill me? ”

"Who knows." Zhou Mu spread his hands, "I understand your feelings very well, you are now in the center of the whirlpool, of course it is normal not to trust anyone, but if you want me to say ......"

"What?"

Zhou Mu suddenly sat up straight and looked at Yang Wenbin seriously, "It's better to tell me what you're worried about, I'm already a dead person anyway, and you didn't believe me from the beginning anyway." ”

Yang Wenbin's eyes immediately became vigilant, and he narrowed his eyes, "What are you planning again?" ”

"Look at you, why are you all like this!" Zhou Mu shouted dissatisfiedly, "Look at me, what other calculations do I have." All my property and drugs in City C have been confiscated by you, and now I don't even have a decent identity, what else can I do? You're so kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you." Yang Wenbin let out a long sigh, rubbed his swollen temples with both hands, and pondered, "...... You know, before we came over, Poppy took us to see those tapes. ”

Zhou Mu nodded, "She also showed it to me, I know." ”

Yang Wenbin rubbed his face again, "I think you won't believe me if I say it." ”

Zhou Mu raised his eyebrows, "Won't it?" Is there anything else I wouldn't believe? You try it. ”

“…… Didn't there be a last word in the video where Qian Zimo was discovered? Ever since I heard that sentence, I have always felt that voice very familiar. Yang Wenbin said slowly, "Then I thought about it all day and finally remembered." I think that voice is my father. ”
