Amsterdam, Prinsengras Apartments.

In the corridor on the second floor, Nakamura Kazuha, who woke up, heard a voice talking downstairs, so he leaned over.

Coming to the staircase, Nakamura Kazuha saw a light shining in the living room downstairs, revealing Uncle Elliott's half-way figure.

"Lu, your woman seems to be quite sick."

Elliott calmly said to Lu Li on the other end of the communication, and did not notice Nakamura Kazuha who was secretly observing from above him.

"She's not my woman."

Lu Li in the communication screen reluctantly corrected it, and then there was a scrutinizing look on his face, as if he was checking the things that Elliott had sent him.

"She spends half of the day filming, and she still focuses on night scenes, which in itself hurts her body. The rest of the time is spent at work, or occasional activities, and there is very little sleep time......"

Elliott was also looking at the information he had gathered in the past two days, and opened his mouth to explain it to Lu Li.

"Have you read the medical records of her trip to the hospital? Neurasthenia, headaches, photophobia, and stomach problems...... I have a friend who works 14 hours a day in front of the computer, and her health is not as bad as hers. ”

Finally, Elliott concluded.

"Maybe you should care about her, at least as a friend, right?"

Lu Li in the communication screen thought silently, and after a long while, he asked.

"Elliott, you didn't join Nakamura, did you?"

Elliott was stunned for a moment, and it took two seconds before he reacted, and then said with a straight face.

"I never care about your emotional life, okay? If you want to live alone for the rest of your life, that's your own business, and I won't give any opinion. It was you who asked me for help, so I would look at it twice, as a thank you for helping me earn money some time ago. ”

In the previous short-selling operation, Elliott also received the same remuneration as Nakamura Miyaki as a remote technical support.

Lu Li in the communication screen smiled shallowly, and then asked.

"Then you're not going to help me then?"

"Hmmm......"

Elliott thought for a moment, then raised his hand and spun it around in a circle, saying casually.

"Let's see how I feel."

Lu Li shook his head, and then said indifferently.

"Okay, that's it, thank you, you can rest early. The Netherlands is now ...... It's going to be two o'clock in the night. ”

Lu Li said, glancing at the time in the lower right corner.

"Not yet."

Elliott simply agreed, then stretched out his hand to hold the mouse, and then looked at Lu Li and said.

"Hung up."

…………………………………………………………

The communication on the screen ended, Lu Li looked at the laptop in front of him and thought intently.

During this time, his fingers slid over the mouse wheel, but remained silent.

Then, abruptly, he lowered the mouse, then closed the laptop, and leaned back, snuggling against the back of the seat.

Tilting his head, Lu Li closed his eyes and thought about it.

"The dead open eyes to the living......"

Little by little, images of the past surfaced in his mind, repeatedly hitting the iceberg in his consciousness.

Suddenly, an abrupt vibration sounded, interrupting Lu Li's thoughts.

In the quiet environment, Lu Li could clearly feel that the vibration came from the mobile phone on his right hand.

Lu Li lowered his head and looked at the screen, it was his photographer friend who called.

Without much hesitation, Lu Li picked up the phone and put it to his ear after connecting it.

"Hello?"

"Oh, is it up?"

The middle-aged man's familiar voice sounded in the microphone, and his tone sounded like he was talking about common words.

"Well, what's wrong?"

Lu Li asked simply as he pulled open the lid of his laptop.

"Come out for a cup of coffee, and tell you something."

The friend said just as simply, and then waited for Lu Li's reply.

And Lu Li only thought for a second, and then nodded indifferently.

"OK, where?"

……………………………………………………

Twenty minutes later, at the Starbucks coffee shop, Lu Li skipped a bunch of cumbersome sales quotes from the front desk staff, ordered a latte locally, and then sat down in front of Zheng Chengyu.

"What's the matter? He also called me out. ”

After Lu Li sat down, he asked straight to the point.

Zheng Chengyu glanced at Lu Li, paused, and then spoke.

"I read the photos of that magazine two days ago, and they were very good."

Lu Li nodded and didn't say anything.

Zheng Chengyu looked at Lu Li's appearance, he had already expected it, but he just smiled slightly, and then continued to ask.

"Have you been paying attention to your previous security work lately?"

Lu Li's expression changed slightly, and then he agreed softly.

"I took two orders some time ago."

"Where to go?"

Zheng Chengyu said curiously.

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, and then said casually.

"Africa."

"Oh!"

Zheng Chengyu responded in surprise and said immediately.

"The job I'm going to introduce to you this time is also going to Africa."

Lu Li frowned, and then wondered.

"What job?"

The waiter next to him brought the coffee, and Zheng Chengyu changed his sitting posture, moved closer to Lu Li, and then spoke.

"I went to an exchange meeting yesterday, and then I came to some foreign masters."

Zheng Chengyu paused, and then continued.

"Inside, there's the German photographer you like, Michael. Oppenlov, I know you've always liked the objectivist photography on their side......"

Lu Li nodded immediately, and there was a yearning expression on his face, that was indeed the photographer he had always liked.

He said he wanted to go to Africa next, but needed someone who could keep him safe and, preferably, translate......

Zheng Chengyu continued, and Lu Li instantly understood what he meant.

After seeing the thoughtful expression on Lu Li's face, Zheng Chengyu hit the railway while it was hot.

"Don't you speak German? And Arabic? You also have experience with security missions in Africa, and you're also a photographer, which is tailor-made, and you're your favorite photographer on the other side. ”

"Hmm."

Lu Li agreed softly, this matter did fit him perfectly in all aspects, but at this time, he could only see distress on his face.

"What's wrong? Is there something you can do? ”

Zheng Chengyu looked at the expression on Lu Li's face and asked.

After Lu Li was silent for a moment, he took a deep breath, and then looked at Zheng Chengyu apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I've been going abroad for the past two days, and I don't have time to accompany him to Africa."

Zheng Chengyu had a surprised expression on his face, and then looked at Lu Li to confirm.

"Really? Are you really going to say no to Michael? To your favorite photographer? ”

“Sorry。”

Lu Li sighed and shook his head, then stood up, and finally looked at Zheng Chengyu and said.

"I do like him, but I have more important things to do."

………………………………

Leaving the café, Lu Li walked along the side door of the mall and walked all the way towards his apartment.

In the cinema next to the mall, workers are removing posters from the frames on the exterior walls to replace them with new theatrical films.

Lu Li suddenly stopped behind a work ladder and watched the workers on the ladder tear down the huge poster two or three meters high and throw it on the ground.

The poster fell on the ground in front of Lu Li, unfolded relatively completely, and spread on the ground.

A pale green fresh style poster showing men and women snuggling together.

Starring Son Ye-jin and So Ji-sub.

The name of the movie is called.

"I'm going to see you now".
