Chapter 39: The Flower Protector
It's been tossed to this time, whether it's a phone call or according to the address to touch the past, it seems that there are some unreasonable, a few people discussed, decided to continue to look for the next day, since the time is not early, it's better to go back to rest, and then continue to run the next day after recuperating enough.
After temporarily putting down the work matter, Du Juan tried to call Tang Hongye twice, but the phone could be dialed, but no one answered, both calls were like this, Du Juan did not make a third attempt, she took Dai Xu's hitchhiker back to the residence, and when she looked up downstairs, the upstairs window was really black.
Du Juan was afraid that Dai Xu and Fang Yuan would not be at ease, so he didn't show anything, thanked them and went upstairs, and looked at it when he got home, Tang Hongye should not have come back at all, Du Juan sat silently in the living room for a while, got up again and took the key, went out and stopped a taxi and went straight to the Public Security Bureau.
This back and forth also delayed a lot of time, and when she returned to the public security bureau, it was almost ten o'clock at night, and there were fewer vehicles passing on the road, and the surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that the cuckoo's footsteps became exceptionally clear and loud, but she didn't hear much at this moment, because her ears were now full of her own heartbeat, her breathing was a little short, her chest was a little painful, and the tips of the fingers of her two hands were cold.
The cuckoo went straight to the direction of the duty room, and happened to meet a colleague on night duty in the corridor who had just picked up the hot water to go back, and the colleague was a little surprised to see that the cuckoo was still there at this time, and stopped to greet her, and asked her if she was ready to drive a night train in the unit because of the case at hand.
Du Juan smiled and shook his head at him: "No, there is something else, can you help me call Tang Hongye out?" ”
She was actually not 100% sure that Tang Hongye must be there, but with her understanding of Tang Hongye, she guessed that he should be sure that the time was not too early, and he was no longer in the bureau, so she slipped over and spent the night in the duty room, otherwise, it should not be easy for him to find other places to stay.
When the colleague heard that she was looking for Tang Hongye, he didn't feel any surprise, nodded, and readily agreed, Du Juan hurriedly grabbed him, and said to the colleague with a deliberate smile, when he let him go in and ask Tang Hongye to come out, don't say that he is looking for him, just say that someone is looking for him.
The colleague knew that Du Juan and Tang Hongye had a close relationship, so he also smiled knowingly, patted his chest, and said that holding him on his body would definitely make Du Juan's surprise perfect reality.
That colleague is also a man of his word, and after entering the duty room, he just told Tang Hongye that someone was looking for him and asked him to go out, and did not reveal that the person who was looking for Tang Hongye was Du Juan.
After a while, Tang Hongye came out of the duty room, with a blank face, a little bit of vigilance, when he saw the cuckoo standing diagonally opposite the duty room, leaning against the wall, holding his hands in his arms, staring at his cuckoo expressionlessly, his face suddenly became a little embarrassed.
"Cuckoo, why are you ......" he opened his mouth, suddenly a little unsure of what to say.
"Let's go, go downstairs, I don't want to say anything to you here." The cuckoo took a deep breath so that he could temporarily suppress the anger and anger that was already rushing into his brain, "Let's go, or you can think of some other way to escape while I go downstairs first." ”
After saying that, she didn't give Tang Hongye a chance to respond at all, turned her head and walked downstairs, Tang Hongye looked helpless, sighed with a wry smile, followed Du Juan and went downstairs with her, the two of them walked to a secluded corner of the courtyard in one breath, and Du Juan finally stopped and turned to look at Tang Hongye.
"Why don't you take the opportunity to run away? Anyway, you're running away now, and with your speed, I can't catch up with you. The cuckoo glared at Tang Hongye, and his eyes were almost about to burst into flames.
Tang Hongye had a sudden break in his heart, don't look at him and Du Juan have known each other for so many years, and the two people in the middle have not had all kinds of friction, but even if Du Juan is angry, at most he will ignore himself, and when both of them are angry, the matter has passed, this is also the first time he has seen Du Juan so angry.
"That...... Cuckoo...... Don't be angry, no, you should, but can you listen to my explanation? Tang Hongye cautiously lost his smile, and he had to carefully control the proportions, the smile was too inconspicuous, he was afraid that the cuckoo would think that he had put on a stinky face, but he didn't dare to laugh too much, for fear that at this time, he would still have a hippie smile, which would make the cuckoo even more annoyed, and it would be even more difficult to coax.
"How are you going to explain it?" The cuckoo waited for him with a straight face, "How about I tell you?" You realize that you have become the target of someone else's want to deal with, so after a night of tossing and turning, you finally made a great decision, in order not to affect anyone, especially me, you decided to be a lone ranger, leaving all of us behind, while being a sad lone ranger, and by the way, you can also be a bait for the person who is planning something in Anzhou, and it is best to rely on your own strength in the end to bring that person to justice, You've done a show of personal heroism, right? ”
"That's not right...... It's not entirely wrong, there are the right parts, but...... When you say this, it feels like it's a little sour......" Tang Hongye felt as if he couldn't say it clearly, "I really want to keep a little distance from you in such a special period, for example, when you are active outside the Public Security Bureau, especially when you are driving or something, no one knows when that bastard will make another move, I really don't want to drag any of you down, especially you." Cuckoo, you didn't know me for the first day, I'm really not going to do this just to show personal heroism! ”
"So you think it's great to do this, don't you?" The cuckoo glared at him.
"Not great, not great......" Tang Hongye hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand honestly.
Are you kidding! Although his emotional intelligence is not particularly high sometimes, it is not low to this extent, and now at such a juncture, in the face of a problem like the cuckoo, if he hesitates a little, it is tantamount to wanting to ignite a lot of explosives!
"Have you ever wondered what kind of person the person who is doing these things in secret, why he is targeting you, what kind of behavior pattern and personality traits this person usually has, do you know all of this? Obviously, you don't know any of that! Have you ever wondered how much it worries us when you leave us alone and go alone in such a situation where you don't know anything about the enemy? What's really wrong, you don't even have someone who can help you, do you really want to be a hero alone? ”
"I won't, if there is a clue, of course I will tell you! Now this is also a helpless move, I can be careful alone, but if I do something in the car or like Lu Xiaoping's unlucky collision this time, the people around me will suffer! I really just want to be able to avoid this as much as possible. Tang Hongye took advantage of the light of the street lamp to look at the dark circles on Du Juan's face, and his pale face also felt a little distressed, and reached out and touched Du Juan's cheek, "Don't be angry, okay?" ”
"Didn't you think there was another possibility? Everyone knows that beating a snake and hitting seven inches, and beating people has to be specially hit on the soft underbelly to hurt the most," Du Juan did not dodge his hand, but he did not intend to stop there, Tang Hongye's current practice of drilling the horns of the bull and pretending to be a lonely hero must be completely stopped, "What is your weakness?" Our parents and family members are not in the local area, and it may not be so easy for outsiders to inquire, so it is more convenient for the other party to attack, obviously, it is your friend and me. ”
At this point in her words, she paused deliberately, and was not surprised to see Tang Hongye's face change.
The cuckoo continued: "Didn't you think about it the other way around? What if the other party finds out that you are alone, so they simply turn the gun and turn it towards the person next to you? Towards me? When you think that you can protect me by leaving me aside, maybe I really need your protection, but you can't protect me because you're not by my side? You didn't even dare to answer my phone call all day today, you didn't think about it, what if I called you urgently? What if someone was working against me at the time? ”
"Say no more! Stop it! Tang Hongye hurriedly reached out to cover the cuckoo's mouth, preventing her from continuing to speak, "I have goosebumps in my heart now when you tell me, don't scare me anymore!" ”
"Am I scaring you, you can measure it yourself, right?" Du Juan knew that Tang Hongye had already listened to what he said, so his tone slowed down a little, "So, do you think it makes sense for you to do this?" Isn't it contrary to the original intention of making this decision your original intention to make those who care about you, and those who care about you, and the possibility that they will not receive help at a critical moment? Although it is very vulgar, but a chopstick is easy to break, and a chopstick is constantly broken, isn't it even understood by children? ”
Tang Hongye was speechless by her, although his original intentions were good, but he also had to admit that the risks that Du Juan said also existed, no matter what, before the person hiding in the shadows was found out, there really was no way to have both, weighed it, he felt that Du Juan's worries were not unreasonable, Du Juan was worried about himself, he didn't doubt this at all, and today all day, Tonic has been following him, not giving himself any chance to be alone in the real sense, This was obviously Yang Cheng's instructions, and although Tang Li was not good at words, the concern in his eyes was also clear.
As soon as he thought that he had let no one around him be able to put his mind at ease, Tang Hongye also felt a little uncomfortable, and began to suspect that his previous approach might indeed be too wishful thinking, thinking that it was for everyone's good, but in fact, it made everyone feel at ease and even more worried.
"That'...... Otherwise...... Will I correct my mistakes? Can you see if this can be done 'very good'? After a quick inner struggle, Tang Hongye finally compromised with Du Juan.
Cuckoo breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "No problem, I can reply to you about this." ”
After the two of them reached a consensus on this issue, there was a sudden silence, Du Juan's original anger and worry, after seeing Tang Hongye in good manners, and after listening to his promise that he would no longer be alone, they all dissipated in an instant, and then he didn't know what to say.
"That'...... Shall we go home? Tang Hongye probably also felt that the two of them stood without speaking, it was really a little embarrassing, if it was a change of environment and an occasion, maybe the street lights in the distance would be hazy, and the two of them could still produce some romantic and charming small pictures when they looked at each other, but now the two of them are poking in the courtyard of the Public Security Bureau, and there are many colleagues on duty or working overtime in the office building not far away.
"No, you can stay and sleep in the duty room, I'll just go back by myself." Although Du Juan said that he didn't have so much anger anymore, he still felt a little angry when he thought of Tang Hongye worrying about himself all day today, so he deliberately said to him, "I ran all day today, and I was physically and mentally exhausted, and I tossed over and delayed a lot of time, so I have to go back and rest quickly, and you can sleep well in the duty room." ”
"Don't, it's so late, I don't worry about you going home by yourself, I have to escort you back in person! This is what you just said yourself, if I am not by your side, no one can protect you anytime and anywhere, then of course I have to dutifully play the role of this flower messenger! You say, don't you? Tang Hongye knew that Du Juan was deliberately angry with himself, so he hurriedly said with a smile, and while speaking, he held Du Juan's shoulders with both hands and pushed her to the outside of the gate of the Public Security Bureau, as if he was afraid that Du Juan would really push him into the duty room.
The cuckoo glared at him without any lethal power, and didn't say anything more, letting him take his shoulders, and the two of them waited on the road for a while, stopped a passing empty taxi, and went home together.
