Chapter 3: The Day of the Scarlet Judgment (III) 1
"What a coincidence. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" The girl next to Ye Zifeng looked at the arm carrying Ye Zifeng in front of her with a smile on her face, and then took a sip of the large drink she was holding in her hand, "I didn't expect to really touch you." β
"I didn't expect that either." The previous hesitation on Ye Zifeng's face had been reduced by half, as if this girl was some kind of medicine or something, and it would make people feel happy when they saw it, "Why are you in Harbin?" I think you said you'd always wanted to go to the institute. The holidays are a great opportunity. β
"If I say," the girl looked at Ye Zifeng, "I came to see you, can you bear to let me go?" β
"Huh? Coming to see me? Ye Zifeng also turned his head to look at the girl beside him, but then he was relieved, and a smile appeared on his face, "Of course not, how can I bear to let you go." β
"Hee-hee, I know." The girl laughed happily twice, "But when I saw you in the crowd just now, you seemed very unhappy?" What's wrong? What's wrong? β
"That's what you say." Ye Zifeng's originally smiling face immediately pulled down, "I messed with me, I shouldn't mess with people." β
"Shouldn't you mess with people? You mean sister? The girl looked puzzled, let go of the arm that was around Ye Zifeng's arm, pointed at this chin, raised her head slightly, and made a thoughtful look, "No, you dare to mess with her?" Slightly unconvinced. β
"But this is," Ye Zifeng took a breath, "Really." Then he hung his head.
"Then what do you want to do, just hide outside all the time?" The girl blocked Ye Zifeng's way, and the expression on her face was slightly serious, "No, no, you go back and apologize quickly, and I'll go with you." β
"An apology is a must, but why are you coming along?" Ye Zifeng looked at the girl in front of him a little helplessly.
"Go see my uncle and aunt, I've been living abroad, and I don't have time to visit." The smile on the girl's face was regained, although Ye Zifeng was helpless in his heart, he still nodded yes, and then followed behind the girl who was bouncing in front, and began to piece together the words of apology he was familiar with.
How to say that? I'm sorry, I was wrong. Isn't it a little too insincere? Otherwise, please forgive me, it's not good if it's not an example, it's a bit like stealing something and being caught by the owner. I am facing a situation that seems to have made a girl angry, how to say it? It's me wrong, I'll definitely pay attention next time. There shouldn't be a next time. So to speak. I'm really sorry, I was really wrong, I shouldn't have yelled at you, but I was in a bad mood and lost my mind. Well, this one isn't bad.
Ye Zifeng thought about this silently in his heart, but the lawlessness under his feet did not stop, and the two of them had already come to the bus stop to wait for the bus at this time.
"I'm not too familiar with the bus lines in Harbin, so should we make a bus on that line?" He also looked at the route list on the bus stop sign seriously and asked Ye Zifeng.
"Take the sixty-third road, and you will reach the end." Ye Zifeng pointed to a line on the station sign, slid in the direction of the arrow under the station name until the last station name, and tapped twice with his fingertips, "Sit at this station." β
"It's so far, there are thirteen stations in total." The girl sighed as she counted the number of station names on the stop signs.
"No way, who told you that I should take you farther." Ye Zifeng said helplessly, then walked behind the girl and put his hands on the girl's shoulders, gently turned the girl around, and pushed the line forward, "Then, the car is coming." β
"Coming to the car? Where is it? There was no trace of a bus on the street where the cars came and went, but the girl was convinced of what Ye Zifeng said. Ye Zifeng seems to have some superpowers, and he can always accurately predict when the car he is going to sit in will come.
Sure enough, after a while, the yellow and green bus slowly appeared from the downhill direction and stopped in front of the platform. Ye Zifeng and the girl's luck was really good, it was a car with few people. As soon as the girl got on the bus, she rushed to the last row that no one did, and Ye Zifeng, who got on the bus second, took the bus IC card and swiped it twice on the machine.
"Come on, here and here." The girl sitting on the edge of the bed beckoned to Ye Zifeng and motioned for Ye Zifeng to sit beside her, Ye Zifeng had to smile helplessly and walked to the girl's side.
"Xia Lu, how old are you, why are you still like a child." After Ye Zifeng sat down, he touched Xia Lu's shoulder-length short hair. The short dark brown hair trimmed like a work of art feels extremely smooth to the touch, and Ye Zifeng did not greet Xia Lu like an ordinary person after meeting Xia Lu at the academy, but touched Xia Lu's hair first. And Xia Lu did not feel disgusted by Ye Zifeng's behavior, but was a little dependent, every time Ye Zifeng touched her hair, Xia Lu was like a baby asleep, slightly closed her eyelids, and wanted to enjoy it.
With the "car starting, please sit tight and hold on, the next stop, the Provincial Expo Center." With such a prompt, the car started slowly, and Ye Zifeng took Xia Lu to embark on the road of pleading guilty, but Ye Zifeng seemed to have forgotten to bring Jing Tiao. Ye Zifeng, who was empty-handed, seemed to have forgotten the saying that he had made amends. However, fortunately, Xia Lu, a talented girl who even has Chinese culture, is by Ye Zifeng's side, otherwise Ye Zifeng may die without even scum.
But to be honest, there are no decent shopping malls in the hometown of Harbin, and the only one that can be regarded as a mid-to-high-end shopping mall is CapitaMall.
"I remember my sister saying that if you want to change a laptop, you might as well give it to her." Xia Lu took Ye Zifeng's arm and walked between the shops on both sides. Xia Lu is not the kind of girl who likes to pick out clothes as soon as she arrives at the mall, although Xia Lu wears something that matches herself, but according to herself, the most expensive of these clothes does not exceed 1,000 yuan, which is also what Ye Zifeng likes, at least she doesn't have to wrap up her bags every time she goes out empty-handed and returns home.
"Even if you say so." Ye Zifeng took out his wallet, lowered his wallet and opened it to show Xia Lu, "But I only brought six hundred yuan out of the house." β
"What about bank cards?" Xia Lu took out a People's Bank of China debit card from her wallet, "How much money is here?" β
"Eldest sister, my monthly salary is only 3,000 yuan." Ye Zifeng immediately changed to a poor face.
"And what about the subsidy for the fleet?" Xia Lu stuffed the bank card into her pocket, and then asked Ye Zifeng.
"Uhγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» 10,000 yuan a monthγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Ye Zifeng lowered his head.
"Don't worry, I'll give it back to you after I buy it." Xia Lu smiled and gently patted Ye Zifeng's shoulder, a scene when a big sister was comforting her injured little brother.
"Okayγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Ye Zifeng wanted to cry without tears, what tendon was in his head at that time, and asked why he wanted to show her his wallet.
"Okay, don't be sad." Xia Lu comforted Ye Zifeng again, and then looked at the surrounding stores, "I don't think this is a place that specializes in electronic products, and the variety of laptops shouldn't be very complete." β
"Let's go to the specialty store." Ye Zifeng scratched his head, "You know best what my sister likes, you say." β
"Games." Xia Lu blurted out without thinking about it, "I heard that the Dell Alienware M18x top version is the best gaming laptop, do you want to check it out." β
"Okay, then let's go to Jiaohua, there is a Dell store." Saying that, Ye Zifeng looked at his watch, his face sank, "It seems that I can't go today, let's go home first." I've been out for five hours, mom should be in a hurry. β
"Wow, you still say that I am like a child, you are so old, and you are so afraid of your mother." Xia Lu pinched Ye Zifeng's nose.
"It hurts, it hurts, let it go." Ye Zifeng was pulled by Xia Lu and spun in place.
"Okay, I won't mess with you, let's go home first, the gift must be bought, no matter how you say it, it's not good for you, so I'll put this bank card here first." Xia Lu grinned, "Also, don't you want to buy me some gifts?" β
"I even forgot to buy my parents' gifts, and in the end it was given by the janitor." Ye Zifeng lowered his head helplessly, "I really don't have a cold to things like gifts." β
"I know." The girl smiled, "Let's go, let's go home first." β
"I've always been a little weird. You didn't really come to Harbin to see me, did you? Ye Zifeng walked into the unit door with Xia Lu.
"It's just one of them." Xia Lu replied, "Eighteen hours ago, the Admiralty issued a mission that said that the Security Council had discovered one in Harbin." Shadow's stronghold, want to conduct a thorough reconnaissance, but the Security Council's branch authority in northern China has not reached the level of unauthorized action, so it needs a double S-level Admiralty member to command the overall situation, Anthony went back to Italy, Ruhr is in space, and the Admiralty is the only one left on the ground above double S, and you still have a sister, but you and your sister will be tried in four days, so your position is frozen, and you can't take any position to command, so I have to come. β
"It's not easy to discover the stronghold of the 'Shadow', it seems that I really underestimated the Security Council. But then again, why didn't Feng Fengxiang come in person? Ye Zifeng took out the door key in his pocket and began to open the door.
"Mr. President, he encountered the 'Shadow' at the Chicago airport, and is now receiving an investigation of the 'Shadow' stronghold by the Security Council branch there in Chicago." Xia Lu put her mouth close to Ye Zifeng's ear and said softly, "I heard that Mr. President didn't encounter an ordinary 'dark shadow'. β
"Not your average 'Shadow'?" Ye Zifeng opened the door, "What do you mean?" β
"The people in the Security Council said it was as if the 'Shadow' was the head of the stronghold or something. Anyway, Mr. President takes this matter very seriously. Now Chicago is in a lot of chaos, and Mr. President even bribed the local gang to assist in the investigation. Xia Lu followed Ye Zifeng into Ye Zifeng's home, "But I thought about it carefully, those should not be able to help, Mr. President should buy them out, they should just want to muddy the waters of Chicago and fish in troubled waters." Xia Lu closed the door with her hand.
"Don't be wrong." Ye Zifeng took off two pairs of slippers from the shoe rack, and untied the leather boots after handing one pair to Xia Lu, "The power of the Chicago gang is definitely not to be underestimated, if the relationship with the Chicago branch of the Security Council deteriorates, maybe the Chicago branch can be gnawed to the point of not even a bone in one day." Feng Fengxiang's move to bribe and return the gang this time is indeed a risky move, once there is any mistake in the action, it is really possible that the two sides will turn against each other, and it is possible that even Feng Fengxiang will fall into the troubled waters of Chicago at that time. Ah, you go to the living room and sit down, and I'll pour the water. β
"Is it really as good as you say? I can't figure it out no matter how I think about it. Xia Lu didn't walk to the living room, but leaned against the bar at the door of the semi-open kitchen, watching Ye Zifeng add two ice cubes to a glass and fill the glass with orange juice.
"Don't underestimate the power of these gangsters, how to describe it? In the words you are most familiar with, the relationship between the Chicago branch and the Chicago gangsters is somewhat like that between the Liao and Song dynasties after the signing of the Yuanyuan Alliance, or the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War. Ye Zifeng pushed the orange juice in front of Xia Lu.
"I seem to understand what you mean. You're saying that there is peace between the Chicago Bureau and the Chicago gangs, but if one side moves too much, there will be a war, right? Xia Lu summarized Ye Zifeng's example, and then took a sip of orange juice, "But I don't think the example you gave is too good, although the Northern Song Dynasty and Liao are evenly matched, but Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty does not want to go to war with Liao, and the imperial conquest is also the result of Kou Zhun's persuasion, and the final signing of the Yuanyuan Alliance is also an unequal treaty, some of which seem to mean peace by victory, but if you think about it carefully, you can still see the weakness of the Northern Song Dynasty court at that time, Otherwise, how could I let the Empress Dowager Xiao hit Lanzhou. However, the Chicago branch is not at all the same as the Northern Song Dynasty, fighting against the local gangsters in Chicago, each entrenched in a large territory, and both sides have no intention of developing for the chassis, and the two sides also have some cooperation in some shady things. Xia Lu talked eloquently about the mistakes in Ye Zifeng's example, "That's why I said, you should take a good look at these histories." β
"Yes." Ye Zifeng replied dejectedly, and then walked out from behind the bar, "I'll go see my sister, you go to the living room first." β
"I'm still with you, think about it, I haven't seen my sister for a long time." Xia Lu got up and drank the orange juice in the cup.
"It's fine." Ye Zifeng did not object, but at the mention of Ye Kexin, Ye Zifeng felt a sense that something was wrong in his heart. But what's wrong? Ye Zifeng didn't figure it out, but he just felt that something was wrong.
When he came to Ye Kexin's door, there was still no sound in the whole house, and Ye Zifeng finally figured out what was wrong. It's too quiet, even if my parents go out to work and don't come back, but Ye Kexin and Ye Shi don't have the habit of taking a nap, it's two o'clock in the afternoon, it stands to reason that Ye Kexin should be watching TV or playing computer games in the room at this time, and he should also prepare lessons and organize teaching materials in the room, but since Ye Zifeng entered the door, he hasn't heard a little of Ye Kexin and Ye Shi's voice.
"Something's wrong." Ye Zifeng's expression immediately became serious, he blocked Xia Lu behind him with one hand, and reached into his arms with the other hand, took out the pistol and screwed on the silencer tube to open the safe.
"What's going on?" Xia Lu looked at Ye Zifeng's actions and understood that Ye Zifeng might have thought of something dangerous, so she immediately took a step back along Ye Zifeng's arm, and also took out her own gun and pulled the sleeve, "I'm with you." β
Ye Zifeng looked back at Xia Lu, who had a serious expression, and nodded: "I'll open the door, you follow me." β
"No problem." Xia Lu nodded and stood on the right side of the door, while Ye Zifeng stuck it on the door and gestured to Xia Lu.
"Three, two, one." Ye Zifeng quickly pressed down the doorknob and pushed the door open after putting down a finger next, and knelt on the ground on one knee to the right side of the room, pressing down on his upper body, blocking the pistol in front of him, while Xia Lu, who was closely following him, quickly flashed into the room and put on a standard Weaver-style gunfight, bringing the left side of the room into his surveillance range.
The light in the small room was very dim, and the heavy crimson curtains blocked the sunlight from the window, Ye Zifeng raised his vigilance again, slowly stood up, and looked around every corner on the right side of the room, and at this time.
"Bang bang." The sound of three palm clapping sounded suddenly, the sound came from behind Ye Zifeng, Ye Zifeng quickly turned his head and came to Xia Lu's side, the two stood side by side, looking at the faint figure in a dark corner of the room. The darkness became an excellent hiding place for that figure, which made Xia Lu not find this figure hiding in the dark of the room for the first time.
"Who?" Ye Zifeng opened his mouth to ask, and at the same time turned on the strong flashlight on the pistol to illuminate that corner as if it were day. A figure wrapped in a black cloak sat on Ye Kexin's computer chair, the ankle of his right foot
"You're so stupid." The figure sitting on the stool did not stand up from the computer chair because his figure was illuminated, but instead raised Erlang's legs and looked at Ye Zifeng and Xia Lu, "It's been a total of five minutes and thirty-seven seconds since you entered the room, but you haven't noticed me until now." β
It's a woman, this is Ye Zifeng's first thought.
"Personality issues, nothing else." Ye Zifeng replied lightly, "Since you can come, you should know that you can't escape." β
"Are you so sure?" The man in the computer chair said confusedly.
"It's secondary, I'm not sure it has nothing to do with you. But the fact that you're here proves that you can't stay. Although Ye Zifeng kept talking, the crosshairs did not leave the center of the person's eyebrows, "Even if it's a 'shadow', don't be too arrogant." It just so happened that I also avenged Sakurai for him. β
"The Security Council will be there in a moment." Xia Lu spat out the shell of a plastic capsule from her mouth, "You have no way to escape. β
"I don't really like what you're saying." Shadow shook his head slightly, trying to get up from his computer chair, "I just got out of the Security Council's detention center. β
"Sit back!" Ye Zifeng shouted in a low voice, his arm quickly pressed down, and then pulled the trigger, and an anesthetic bullet punched a hole in the solid wood floor, "Put your hands on your knees." β
