Chapter Twenty-Six: Goodbye Liu Yan
"Brother Hu, don't worry, I, Yang Tao, will definitely talk in my life, but I also hope that Brother Hu can do me a favor."
"Tell me, what's the matter? As long as it is within the boundaries of Hangzhou City, my brother still has a little thin face. Zhao Wenhu asked.
"Actually, it's the poplar matter, I've been investigating his whereabouts for the past two days, but I haven't been able to find it, I still hope that Brother Tiger can help me keep an eye on this person, and if there is news, please Brother Tiger can contact me in time."
"It's just a trivial matter, I'll tell you Brother Hongyuan then."
"Then thank you, Brother Tiger." Yang Tao thanked him.
"Xiao Yang, don't see your brother like this, keep in touch with your brother more in the future, if you need your brother's help with something, even if you ask, your brother may not be able to help in other places, but as long as your brother is in Hangzhou, he still has some energy."
"Well, okay Brother Tiger, I know."
After hanging up the phone, the smile on Zhao Wenhu's face disappeared instantly, and he threw the mobile phone in his hand on the table, as if he had thrown a trouble.
"Bureau Zhao, was that kid's call from Yang Tao just now?" Sitting opposite Zhao Wenhu's desk, Li Hongyuan asked with a look of speculation.
"Well, it's not who else this guy is, but this guy is finally going back to Beijing." Zhao Wenhu took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Hongyuan, and said impatiently.
Li Hongyuan naturally knew why Zhao Wenhu was so unaccustomed to Yang Tao, mainly because Yang Tao lost Zhao Wenhu's face at last night's dinner.
"Oh, he's going back, that's a good feeling." Li Hongyuan took the cigarette and said with a smile.
"What a fart, people are gone, and they will leave me with trouble." Zhao Wenhu said angrily.
Li Hongyuan couldn't help but ask curiously: "Bureau Zhao, what trouble have you encountered, do you need my side to take action?" ”
"You really have to take over this matter, it's the person named Poplar he asked you to find yesterday, have you found it?" Zhao Wenhu asked.
Li Hongyuan couldn't help showing a trace of embarrassment on his face, he shook his head and said: "This person seems to have suddenly evaporated from the world, I watched the surveillance for almost a night last night, and only found that the other party appeared in a store selling kitchenware on the edge of Jinyuan Building, and then I couldn't find him again." ”
"What the hell is going on, is there something wrong with the store that sells kitchenware?" Zhao Wenhu asked curiously.
Li Hongyuan shook his head and said: "No, there is nothing wrong with that store, we sent someone to search, it was just a regular small shop, and there were no underground secret rooms, dark rooms or the like in the store." ”
"Is there anything missing?" Zhao Wenhu asked.
"Probably not, I was there at the time, and I searched almost every corner." Li Hongyuan assured with certainty.
"That's weird, is it possible for this kid to be invisible?" Zhao Wenhu rubbed his temples, as if he was feeling a headache to find Bai Yang.
"Stealth should be unlikely, I think the biggest possibility of the other party has evaded all the surveillance and was hidden, after all, the surveillance in our city cannot achieve full coverage." Li Hongyuan expressed his conjecture.
"Well, if that's the case, it means that the foreign forces behind the other party must be aware of it." Zhao Wenhu nodded.
"Bureau Zhao, to put it mildly, there are foreign forces interfering behind Poplar, this should belong to the family affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D., is it a little inappropriate for us to meddle in it like this?" To be honest, Li Hongyuan didn't want to take this job, after all, he had vaguely felt that this matter was not simple from the fact that he had never been able to find Bai Yang, a big living person, and I was afraid that it was beyond his ability.
"Lao Li, what nonsense are you talking about, this is a major national matter, how can it be said that it is a domestic matter of S.H.I.E.L.D., you must continue to send people to keep an eye on this matter, but remember that we are just doing it, don't rush forward recklessly, charge into battle, or let the people who should do it do it."
"Ju Zhao, you mean that we are only responsible for stalking?" Li Hongyuan's eyes lit up and asked.
"Ahem, just know, don't say it so bluntly." Zhao Wenhu said with a hint of blame.
"Understood, understood." Li Hongyuan said with an embarrassed face.
After Yang Tao hung up the phone, he wanted to go directly to the airport, but he had already bought a ticket from Hangzhou to Beijing at one o'clock in the afternoon.
However, when he arrived at the airport by taxi, he saw a couple in front of the airport gate and couldn't part with each other, so he returned his ticket and returned to Liu Yan's old building.
He waited outside the door all afternoon, without waiting for the other party to appear, he remembered that late that night, the other party came back from somewhere, and when he passed through the alley, he encountered the picture of three drunk thugs trying to tease her, he thought about it, and felt that it was safer to go to the alley and wait, at least if the other party was in danger, he would be able to come to the rescue.
Liu Yan felt that everything was not going well today, and in the morning she followed a group of sisters to the nursing home to volunteer, and her grandmother, who was nursing in the nursing home, fell inexplicably, although she was sent to the hospital in time to rescue her, but it caused her to delay the work of shooting print advertisements in the afternoon, and even received complaints from merchants, and in order to take care of her grandmother, she couldn't go to the bar to sing at night, so she lost another income, and it was very likely that the bar owner would take the opportunity to fire the squid.
But grandma is the closest person to her now, she can lose everything, but she can't lose grandma, so even though it is very likely to lose income and job, she has no regrets.
Seeing her grandmother stuck in a straw and hanging a blood bag, unconscious in the hospital bed, even though she heard the doctor say that her grandmother had passed the dangerous period, her heart was still full of worry.
Liu Yan sat haggard on the edge of the hospital bed, gently pulling her grandmother's pale hair to her ear. Looking at her grandmother's peaceful demeanor, her eyes flashed with crystal teardrops.
"Ms. Liu, it's so late, why don't you go back to rest?" The little nurse replaced the blood bag and dropper bottle that had been beaten, turned her head and asked Liu Yan with a smile.
Liu Yan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile: "I want to stay for a while and accompany my grandmother." ”
"Ms. Liu, go back first, you don't have to stay behind today, go back first to recuperate, and after a few days when your grandmother recovers a little, you can't go back if you want to." The little nurse kindly persuaded her.
"I see, thanks." Liu Yan smiled and nodded and said.
The little nurse left, and Liu Yan stayed in the ward for more than an hour, and finally obeyed the little nurse's words and left the hospital.
Listening to the rumbling sound in her stomach, Liu Yan didn't have the heart to eat, walking on the road, she was worried about her grandmother's physical condition and worried about the high medical bills.
Although she still had some savings, she couldn't afford to toss it, and now that she had almost lost her job and would have no income in the future, she suddenly felt like hell in the world, and it made people feel hopeless.
The process of returning home was quite smooth, and no thugs suddenly ran out to tease her.
When she passed by the alley she passed yesterday, she subconsciously looked in the direction of the alley, she didn't know if she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping to see that familiar figure here, but she knew that she was probably going to be disappointed.
However, she was suddenly surprised to find a person walking out of the alley, looking at the familiar figure in front of her, she subconsciously wanted to rush up and hug the other party.
But in the end, she gritted her teeth and turned her head, as if she hadn't seen it, and walked forward with red eyes.
Yang Tao put down his palm raised in the air with some embarrassment, touched his nose, and secretly said that she was not angry, right?
He didn't immediately rush up to stop the other party, but just followed behind the other party unhurriedly.
He followed the other party upstairs, but with a loud "bang", he was locked out of the door.
Yang Tao couldn't understand why the other party was so angry, and could only sigh that a woman's temperament was like a weather forecast.
He didn't knock on the door, didn't say anything, just leaned against the wall by the door, and simply watched the rising moon.
The moon was already a little round, which reminded him of his family in Beijing.
To be honest, he gave up too much for revenge, and he never really cared about his family in the reincarnation of his life, because he regarded his family here as an illusory illusion.
For some reason, the idea of whether it was right or wrong for him to do this suddenly occurred in his heart at this moment, and this thought made him a little crazy.
"No, what I did before was correct, this is just an illusory world formed by the Poplar Yuanshen, everything here is fake, I don't need to pay real emotions for them." A voice in his head said with great determination.
"No, you're wrong, this is not an illusory world, but a real reincarnation dream, everything here is real, including our parents and Liu Yan." Another voice in Yang Tao's mind said.
"No matter how real the dream is, there will always be a day when we wake up, and when we wake up, the dream does not exist, so what is the point of giving feelings?" The first voice asked unconvinced.
"Isn't a person's life just a dream, what if you wake up from a dream, if you stubbornly think that this is a dream and live like a stone, then what is the meaning of your life?" The second voice asked rhetorically.
······
The two voices were arguing and arguing in his head, making him feel distraught.
After Liu Yan slammed the door, she leaned against the door weakly, her heart pounding violently.
Her heart was full of contradictions, one voice kept urging her to open the door, another voice telling her that men were not good things, and she didn't know who she should listen to.
She wanted to hear the other person's explanation, and she even told herself that she would forgive him as long as the other party's explanation was slightly plausible.
But what made her feel extremely confused, extremely lost, and even a little uneasy, she waited for a long time, only to find that there was no movement outside the door.
Has he already left? Liu Yan showed a sad smile on her face, and her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
She nervously opened the door with a look of hope in her eyes.
There was no one outside the door, and her heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
At last she shook her head, and was about to close the door again, when suddenly a figure spun out from the wall, almost startling her.
Yang Tao was tormented by the two voices in his head, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of the door being opened.
In the end, he thought about it and decided to say goodbye to Liu Yan, so he turned around and walked out of the corner.
I didn't want Liu Yan to see him, as if she had seen a ghost, suddenly screamed, and quickly closed the door.
Yang Tao subconsciously put his palm into the crack of the door before the security door was completely closed.
"Hiss~!" Although Yang Tao's current cultivation is only one step away from the innate realm, it is not congenital after all, and the strength of his physical body is still limited.
"Ahh You, are you alright? Liu Yan hurriedly opened the door, grabbed Yang Tao's palm with a worried face, and asked nervously.
