Is the day after day, as always, a blessing or an unfortunate event?

The Aikang Group, which is about to come to an end, seems to have lost its vigor in the past, and almost all the office doors in the corridor are locked, except for Li Xiaoai, who occasionally goes in and out and goes back and forth. A cleaner is loading the spilled paper in the hallway into the plastic pocket of the cleaning cart, the flickering lights on the ceiling are almost extinguished, and the entire Rubik's Cube box building looks like everything is coming to an end.

A few more men in suits and briefcases who looked like lawyers entered Li Xiaoai's office, and I was standing in the aisle thinking about what he had said when he had changed shifts with Dong Jian in the morning.

"Yesterday I met Zhang Dashan in the Aikang Building, he personally led a team to Aikang to collect evidence, it seems that Aikang's previous case is not just an ordinary case, it is very likely to involve drugs. Zhang Dashan gave me special advice not to get involved too deeply, the water in it is probably not as shallow as it seems, and the previous murder seems to be an accident, I am afraid that it is all extinguished. As long as the two of us save Li Xiaoai's life, we will wait for the police to intervene at that time, if she and her father really have something, it will be much safer in the bureau than outside. ”

Involved in drugs? These two unimaginable words lingered in my mind like a spell.

While there are countless computers sitting idle in Aikang's empty office building, Li Xiaoai has a lot of time to find the answers I want to know.

"The original prototype of the Aikang Group, Aikang Pharmaceutical, was registered by Li Shukang more than ten years ago, when it was just a simple R&D institution, conducting clinical trials and chemical synthesis business for many well-known chemical and pharmaceutical companies. This lasted for about four years, and the company became more and more difficult to operate, and almost went out of business. At the most difficult time, by the capital injection of a multinational pharmaceutical company belonging to South America at that time, Aikang Pharmaceutical miraculously recovered quickly, and was reorganized into Aikang Group after merging several smaller domestic pharmaceutical companies, and then the group's business gradually expanded, and after multiple rounds of capital injection, it became a well-known multinational drug R&D and manufacturing enterprise. ”

"However, from the news of the seizure of Aikang Pharmaceutical from various sources, it is shown that the most difficult moment at that time was not due to a successful capital injection, but due to a failed drug clinical trial."

None of these past news about Aikang showed that it had any connection with drugs, so why did Zhang Dashan personally lead a team to find out here? And it was also in the time period when Aikang Group was almost about to go bankrupt, was it really the tree that fell and everyone pushed it?

"At present, almost all the funds in the company's account have been frozen, and if we don't want to find a way to reverse the situation, I'm afraid that the wages of employees before the Chinese New Year will not be paid." The financial assistant reported in Li Xiaoai's office with a bitter face.

"Okay, I got it." Li Xiaoai didn't even raise her head, and the things she needed to deal with urgently were almost all the time. During the two days I followed her, she was so busy except for eating that I couldn't see any emotional ups and downs in her at all.

"Xiao Ai, you have done your best, and now you can't do anything about this mess to anyone." Lan Xue couldn't bear to look at it, and sat on the chair in front of her desk and kept persuading, "If you continue like this, you will get sick, even if you are in school, I haven't seen you work so hard." ”

"yes, I see." It's still like that, with no ups and downs and no emotional entrainment.

"Little love!" Lan Xue's voice was amplified, and her tone was elongated.

Li Xiaoai finally put down the information file in his hand, took off his narrow-framed glasses and slowly raised his head to look at Lan Xue, "What should I do?" This sentence seems to pop out of nowhere.

Lan Xue was stunned for a moment, and after a second, she propped her hands on the table, "Rest and rest, I heard Zhuang Yan and Dong Jian say that you only sleep less than six hours a day, go back at twelve o'clock in the evening, and pack up at six o'clock in the morning, so how can your body eat." ”

I stood aside and didn't say anything, Li Xiaoai looked up and glanced at me, "I'm fine, I can do more now, maybe the whole company will close down after the year." ”

"I know this is your father's favorite company, but he still loves you the most, otherwise he wouldn't have turned his face like that with your mother."

"Alright, don't talk about it." Li Xiaoai interrupted Lan Xue's comforting words, and her tone was still calm, "You say, where do you want to have a drink?" ”

"Night Song." Lan Xue's tone was obviously excited.

"Night show? I'm not going, at most I'm going to find a quieter place where I can drink. Li Xiaoai glanced at her.

"You never go with me, just go there today to have some drinks and relax, and besides, if he's still there, you can follow me." Lan Xue bypassed Li Xiaoai's desk, hugged Li Xiaoai's arm coquettishly, and threw a look at me, "Let's go, let's go, it's so boring to stay here all day." Zhuang Yan will take care of the two of us, right!? Lan Xue raised her chin at me, and waved her palm down to make a chopping motion.

I had to turn my face and smile wordlessly, thinking to myself that as long as they didn't have anything to do, they would be fine.

Perhaps there are only two places in the world that you don't want to wear, one is the pool, and the other is the night club. Although the January SAR does not have the biting cold wind in the north, it is enough to make people shiver in the sea breeze. But the bar street is always an exception, and the bar street is as hot as summer all year round at night, and young people in all kinds of short skirts and shorts are shuttling back and forth, and it seems a little out of place for a place like me and Li Xiaoai in professional formal clothes.

"Here we are." Lan Xue stood in front and looked up at the sign printed in colorful font - Yesheng Song.

"Huh?" A familiar figure stood outside the luxurious gate of Yesheng Ge, pinching a cigarette in his hand and glaring at me, "Zhuang Yan? ”

"Mr. Luo?" I recognized that person as Luo Qian, who had eaten with Dong Jian and Zhang Dashan.

"Mr. Luo, call me Cannon, Luo Cannon." Luo Qian still had a smile on his face, and handed over a cigarette as he spoke, "Why do you want to come to my field to play today, it's really rare." ”

I suddenly remembered that he had mentioned it at the dinner table, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, "Whatever you have, come with a friend." I turned my head to look at the two of them, without revealing each other's identities.

"Wow, beauty, what a big beauty. Your friend? Luo Dacang really lived up to his reputation, and before his voice fell, Lan Xue was so happy that he smiled, and Li Xiaoai rarely raised the corners of his mouth.

"Lan Xue, Xiao Ai." I gave a brief introduction, but did not reveal Li Xiaoai's real name, although it is an entertainment venue, it is my working time, and I still have full responsibility for Li Xiaoai's safety.

"Wow, that's good, it's shining. Come in, come in, come in, I'll come to you for two drinks later, brother, and you go in first." Come, take a seat for the guests. Luo Da Cannon beaked oil, beckoned his waiters to welcome us into the Yesheng Song.

The interior of the bar is luxuriously decorated, with the highest quality sound and lighting equipment, and round tables and high stools to enhance the slenderness of the coolly dressed youngsters. The most disadvantageous place for my security work would be such a noisy and overcrowded place, and the average business person would not take the initiative to go to such a place during the cooperation with us, because sometimes we have a hard time controlling the amount of hands-off, that is, the degree of contact with strangers. But when it comes to talking, why do you have to come when you don't have contact with people at all on such occasions?

The waitress originally took us to a luxurious seat far away from the dance floor, but Lan Xue felt that it was too clean and refused, so she took the initiative to lead us to a round table with a better view next to the dance floor.

"Let's have a few beers first." Because the voice was too intense, Lan Xue had to shout at the waiter.

"I want vodka." Li Xiaoai directly ordered the strongest wine.

Lan Xue stared at Li Xiaoai with round eyes, "Are you sure?" ”

Li Xiaoai didn't have any expression, but she still nodded firmly.

"Then release it tonight, vodka." Lan Xue stretched out two fingers to the waiter, "Two bottles." ”

I had to say to myself, oh my God.

The strongest liquor and the deafening rhythm came and went, and Luo Qian came over to clink glasses with me from time to time in the intervals, and for reasons of shame and work that was not suitable for elaboration, I had to swallow the liquor from the great northern country in my stomach. And Lan Xue was even more happy, pulling Li Xiaoai to the dance floor and writhing constantly, provoking the men on the side to be bloody.

Compared with Lan Xue, Li Xiaoai doesn't seem to be here to dance and relax, she not only swallows a glass of wine quickly but also quickly, one cup after another. I didn't know how much she had drunk, except for a slight flush on her face, which looked the same as usual, so much so that no one could guess what she was thinking from the surface of her.

"Let's go, you come to dance too, don't be cool all day long, you're already handsome enough, especially when you rescued people in the elevator." Listening to Lan Xue's voice, I had already begun to have an alcohol reaction, but I still couldn't shake off her hand directly under her pulling.

After all, I was dragged out of my seat by Lan Xue, but Li Xiaoai picked up the wine glass and toasted to us, and then swallowed another glass of vodka to herself.

Alcohol mixed with the smell of perfume, hormones wafted through the crowd under the flashing colored lights, Lan Xue surrounded me, leaning against me from time to time, and touching my shirt with her skin from time to time. The heat took advantage of the alcohol, and I had to loosen my neckline and tie.

At the end of the song, I followed Lan Xue out of the crowd on the dance floor and returned to our round table, but Li Xiaoai was nowhere to be seen except for the wine glass and wine bottle on the round table. My head, which had been a little dizzy by alcohol and rhythm, suddenly sobered up, and there was a voice that seemed to keep echoing in my head, dereliction of duty, this is dereliction of duty. If anything happens to Li Xiaoai, I don't have any excuse to explain, and I don't have any reason to be forgiven, but even now when I look around, there is no trace of her.

"Maybe I'm going to the bathroom, she drank so much just now, don't be so nervous." Probably seeing that my expression was wrong, Lan Xue reminded her, and then she picked up the wine glass and touched my glass.

I glanced at her, not picking up the glass that was already full of wine, "I'll go to the bathroom too." ”

The young people who kept kissing in the narrow alleyway outside the bathroom, all kinds of colored hair sticking together, walking unsteadily, but there was a fire in his eyes that was difficult to look at, I just wanted to get out of the suffocation of this fire as soon as possible, but what about the person I was looking for?

"Beauty, isn't it familiar when you go out for a drink?" A man dressed in frivolous clothes was holding one hand against the wall, blocking the path of the person I was looking for.

Li Xiaoai's face was flushed, her eyes were already a little confused, and the professional attire on her body was neat, no matter how she looked at it, it was a little different from those dusty women in the aisle, "Go away." ”

"Yo, quite characterful. It's so boring to drink alone, let my brother help you relieve Luo Shang. The voice fell, and the man wanted to grab Li Xiaoai's collar.

For a moment, I used the back of my hand to block the man's hand, and the man was really not a good stubble, and the next second the fist swung at me, which happened to be caught by one of my hands, and then twisted down half a circle hard. He twisted in pain, half-bent over, and then raised his eyes to me with pleading eyes. I just stared at him with that kind of fierce eyes, and dragged Li Xiaoai, who was already drunk and misty-eyed, behind me.
