Chapter Twenty-Three: All Things Are Ready
Zhuo Fan still noticed that someone was following him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Since his father told him the secrets of the Duanmu family before he died, he has become more and more cautious, even a little nervous. Begin to keep a distance from anyone and be unable to interact with people normally. At first, Zhuo Fan thought that this feeling was just because he was too sensitive and suspicious. On this day, he drove around several corners, but the black Volkswagen always followed unhurriedly a hundred meters behind him, he began to worry, but he didn't dare to accelerate easily, so he made a few more rounds, pretending to go to a nearby convenience store to buy some snacks. When he started the car again, he saw in the rearview mirror that the Volkswagen was still behind him.
He immediately wrote down the license plate number and dialed his colleague's number, "Hey, Linda, help me look up a license plate number." ”
After Zhuo Fan finished speaking, he had already arrived at the door of the magazine office, and he drove the car into the underground parking lot of the magazine building. After waiting in the parking lot for a long time, the black Volkswagen did not follow.
Zhuo Fan let out a long sigh of relief, and his hand holding the steering wheel tightly let go, realizing that his palms were already full of cold sweat. He grabbed a tissue to wipe off the cold sweat, took out the jade plate from the inner pocket of his suit, held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, and the heart that had been hanging was really put down. He carefully withdrew the jade plaque into his pocket and patted it gently on his body, and when his body touched the slightly hard touch of the jade plaque, every cell in his body relaxed.
At this time, Zhuo Fan thought of Yu Yue. He got out of the car and took the elevator to his office. Yu Yue, who is already working at the desk, is writing a recent column for "Lost in Wonderland" about mermaids. There are a lot of books about mermaids at hand, as well as some blurry photos.
"Yu Yue, come on." Zhuo Fan passed behind Yu Yue and left a message.
Yu Yue agreed, but did not look up. She is still immersed in the legend of the mermaid. After a long time, she reluctantly went to Zhuo Fan's office.
"Sit down." After returning from Xinjiang, Zhuo Fan devoted himself to intense work, saying that he was invested, but in fact it was not true, he could not be distracted. Whenever he tried to concentrate on his work, he could feel his restlessness, and there were so many images floating in his mind, blurry and real.
"Is Maisha okay with you?" Zhuo Fan asked.
Yu Yue was stunned for a moment, then leaned closer and smiled slyly, "Reporter Zhuo, it's time to go to work." "Zhuo Fan's clear distinction between public and private is well-known in the magazine, as long as he is in the company, Zhuo Fan always talks about work. Of course, after work, if you want to discuss work with Zhuo Fan, it is also more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Zhuo Fan was stunned for a moment when he heard Yu Yue say this, "Mayisha used to be my subordinate, and I was just in the care of my superiors for my subordinates, so I asked." ”
Yu Yue nodded, "If that's the case, Teacher Zhuo Duan can rest assured, Mayisha is very familiar with Hangzhou, and there is nothing inconvenient in life." The only problem is that Maisha ......"
"Now it's not in Xinjiang, let alone in Moonlight Village, let's call it Martha." Zhuo Fan interrupted Yu Yue's words. has been being followed by others for the past few days, which makes Zhuo Fan feel that he should be more cautious.
Yu Yue nodded in agreement, and continued what she had just said, "The only problem is that Martha seems to be worried about Lao Jiang. ”
Of course, Zhuo Fan knew that Lao Jiang had planned to arrange Mayisha in the Fulong Gang that day, so that no matter who it was, they would not dare to easily check Mayisha's identity, and the news could be better kept secret. However, as soon as Lao Jiang's car drove into Hangzhou City, Lao Jiang was picked up by Rayong. At that time, Luo Yong was respectful to Lao Jiang on the surface, and he had a deferential attitude towards the gang leader, and Zhuo Fan didn't see that Luo Yong had any other motives at all. recalled that at that time, Lao Jiang followed Luo Yong to get out of the car, Lao Jiang looked back at Zhuo Fan, and said, "She will get rid of Yu Yue." His gaze stayed on Maisha's face for a moment, and then he followed Rayong away.
Zhuo Fan recalled Lao Jiang's solemn eyes afterwards, so that he could understand Lao Jiang's compulsion at that time. He should have seen Rayong's intentions early on, so he didn't take Maisha away.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Fan asked, "How is Lao Jiang?" ”
Yu Yue frowned, as if she was full of doubts about this matter, "I only know that Lao Jiang has been rescued." ”
"It should be fine to have a poker face." Zhuo Fan followed Poker Face to the Moonlight Clan's tomb and saw Poker Face's skills. But looking at Yu Yue's expression, it seems that this matter is not going well. "Did something happen?"
"Nope." Yu Yue denied that after a moment late, Yu Yue still decided to tell Zhuo Fan his doubts, "Ah Shen, after he came back, he told me that the person who went to save Lao Jiang was not a poker face." ”
Hearing Yu Yue mention Ah Shen, Zhuo Fan immediately remembered that he was in the Moonlight Clan at that time, and he knew the identity of the poker face. He instinctively sensed that the matter that Yu Yue was puzzled about involved the identity of the poker face, "Maybe it's too dark, and Dr. Shen didn't see it clearly, right?" ”
"I said the same too, but I wonder why Lao Jiang and Poker Face didn't get into our car."
Zhuo Fan thought for a moment, "I think it may be because you were discovered at the time, so you didn't get involved, so you went separately." Zhuo Fan tried his best to help Lao Jiang Chengcheng.
"Well, probably. After all, there are two exits after Huanxi Village. ”
"Don't think too much about this matter, no matter what, Lao Jiang has been rescued." Zhuo Fan looked at Yu Yue and asked, "Do you know where they are now?" I have something to find Lao Jiang. ”
"It's supposed to be at Pokerface's house, but I don't know where Pokerface is. In the past, we met Pokerface in the library, but in the past two days, Ah Shen waited in the library every day, but he didn't see Pokerface. ”
Zhuo Fan understood that something must have happened to the poker face, otherwise there would not be no news until now.
The light in the room was a little dim, and he looked out the window, where the originally clear sky was now full of dark clouds.
It's going to rain.
It was already afternoon when Poker Face woke up, and he had been asleep for longer and longer lately, and his physical strength when he woke up was not as good as before. He looked out the window at the gray and looked at the clock at the bedside, only to realize that it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. A flash of frustration flashed through his heart, and the frustration didn't last long, for he heard the sound of rustling outside the room.
Poker Face opened the door and saw Lao Jiang sitting on a small bench, the fat of his body completely covered the small bench under his buttocks, and Lao Jiang's whole body seemed to be squatting on the ground, picking up a bunch of things on the ground with his hands.
"What is this?"
"These are the utensils we used when we went to Xinjiang last time." Lao Jiang smiled embarrassedly, "I'm just like you now, and I'm a person who can't show my true identity." I thought about it, if we want to go to the submarine tomb, we can't be sloppy with the things we need to prepare, it is at the bottom of the sea, where we can lose our lives in minutes. ”
"Do you have any money?" Poker Face said lightly, walked past the pile of scattered utensils in front of Lao Jiang, and sat down on the sofa.
"I don't have any money, but you do." Lao Jiang began to calculate the accounts, "The money left to you by your parents will not be spent for a lifetime, so it will be good for you to buy some utensils, at most you can buy fewer books later." ”
"You're shrewd." Poker Face didn't want to talk to Lao Jiang Duo, what he was worried about was not the problem of money, but other things. "I'll go out." Poker Face picks up his coat on the couch.
"It's going to rain outside. Where are you going? ”
"Library." After the poker face finished speaking, he locked Lao Jiang at home.
Lao Jiang said helplessly, "Don't wear the wrong mask again." "Since that day Poker Face went to save Lao Jiang, in order not to remind people that he had been in and out of Lao Jiang's house with Ah Shen, and brought trouble to Ah Shen afterwards, he deliberately wore another human skin mask, but I didn't expect Ah Shen to break in halfway and see Poker Face's face. The poker face and Lao Jiang couldn't come up with an explanation for several days. After so many days, the two didn't know how to hide it at all. In the words of poker face, "If you can't hide it, you have to hide it." "After all, with the current situation of poker face, there is no way to appear in front of Yu Yue in the real situation. What's more, Ah Shen, who looks exactly like him, doesn't know how to face it with his true identity.
Lao Jiang packed up the things he had and threw the useless things into the garbage bag. As soon as he opened the door, he was startled by the black shadow at the door, until he saw that it was Luo Jin.
Luo Jin lowered his head, his face was gloomy, just like the current weather.
Lao Jiang handed the garbage bag in hand to Luo Jin, "It's just right, help me throw it away." ”
"Gang leader......" Luo Jin felt guilty, he secretly followed Luo Jin to the magazine, originally planned to take a walk around, who knows, just walked to the square, heard the LED electronic screen playing, it was the news of the civil unrest of the Fulong Gang. What made him sad was the news that his younger brother Luo Yong kidnapped Lao Jiang. After hearing this, he ran to Lao Jiang.
Luo Jin didn't react, and he didn't pick up the garbage bag in Lao Jiang's hand for a long time. Lao Jiang leaned forward again, raised his voice and said, "Help me throw it away." ”
Luo Jin took the garbage bag and walked down the stairs without saying a word.
Lao Jiang walked in and closed the door. When Luo Jin came in, he said, "I changed my shoes, and I love to be clean with my poker face." If he knew I let you in and you didn't change your shoes, he'd be mad at me. ”
Luo Jin smiled bitterly, "Helper, at this time, you are still joking with me." ”
Old Jiang Bian flattened his mouth, "Who is joking with you, my business is my business, and the requirements of the poker face can be ignored?" ”
"That's not what I meant." Luo Jin has always been a little clumsy, and the reason why he can become one of the four elders in the Fulong Gang is entirely because he is worthy of Lao Jiang's trust and the trust of the gang brothers.
"Tell me, what do you mean." Lao Jiang said.
"Helper, I confess my mistake to you on behalf of my brother."
