44. Bottles

Under the hazy city, the ground is full of fragments of reflections, and one by one is full of Yang Zhexuan's shadow.

He likes the blue sea, and An Yao dreamed of the blue sea again last night. He once broke into her heart, disturbing her thoughts night and night.

In the past, I slowly flipped through it, and An Yao didn't understand too much about him, but it didn't matter, she just liked him, she just missed him, I don't know if he was thinking about her at the moment?

Winter, the season of withering.

This year's bitter cold is earlier than usual in the Windy City, but it's December, so it's time to get cold.

Lu Xiao stared at the photo of his lover - the only photo of him and her taken at the beach that time.

In the photo, An Yao's forehead was gently resting on his chest, and he looked at her with a doting face, and the picture was frozen at this moment.

They had chased and frolicked in the maple forest, laughed at the end of the sunset, and hugged each other on the shore where the waves raged, and all this beauty was like a dream, he was an outsider, and it was his own story to break into her.

An Yao is a slightly indifferent person, but her heart is as warm as the sun.

I have carefully felt those poignant and oppressive paintings, and she is silently speaking in the most peaceful way.

I asked her family, and she told me that her family worked very hard to provide her with schooling, and now she is a painter, so she naturally wants to make them live better, but her parents said that there are many people like them, they themselves have survived, but what about other people who have no choice?

Then her family took part in an operation, the name of which I forgot, and the end result was a failure.

She and her family were very frustrated, so she expressed her feelings through painting, expressing some social status through the scenery in the painting, and she tried to participate in competitions, try to win awards, and wanted more people to see her paintings.

I promised her to accompany her to the next drawing competition, but I was going to break my promise, because now that the information of the people on the list has been gathered, and the mission is nearing the end, I should cut off the worries here and prepare for freedom in the future.

But this is ...... I must live up to An Yao's love for me.

If I had never met her and missed the time to meet, what would have been my destiny?

Prosperous three thousand, in the blink of an eye, there is nothing to think about.

A few years ago, Lu Jue led me to walk in the alleyway, until I reached the end of the alleyway, where there was a door, and he knocked on the door.

The man inside opened the door, and he looked at me and then at Lu Jue, as if he understood something.

Lu Jue opened his mouth and said, "I can only help you get here." ”

The man nodded and reached out to hold me, I looked up at the man holding me, and then looked at Lu Jue, who said to me, "You will live here in the future." ”

I looked at the person in front of me again, he pulled me over, and then asked Lu Jue, "What's his name?" ”

"He was brought by me, and he will be called Lu Xiao in the future."

This memory is very vague and fragmentary, all my memories started from there, and I can't remember anything from before, which is the strangest thing about me, because even as I get older, many childhood memories will disappear, but there will always be one or two things that I remember in my heart, and it is impossible to forget them so cleanly.

There is always a reason for the existence or absence of memory, and it must be extremely abnormal for me to not be able to remember anything.

"That's all I can do for you."

After so many years, I still haven't figured out what Lu Jue meant by what he said, and it was obviously he who brought him to the organization, but he was raised by Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu is a withered leaf tiger, the boss of the organization, who was separated from his daughter many years ago. And I exist to take the place of his child, because Uncle Liu wants to have a trustworthy person.

So does it mean that what he needs is a child, and this child can be anyone, whether it is picked up or biological.

Extending down this line of thought, what if he hadn't picked me up at the time?

A thought crawled out of the depths of Lu Xiao's mind, like an impermeable wall, with a slight gap. He only felt that what he had believed in was suddenly shaken.

Chen Ying slept late last night, and when she woke up in the morning, it was already morning, and it was the noise outside the window that woke her up.

"Ji Wu." She shouted, but no one answered. It seems that the husband has already gone out to work.

The weather was fine today, and the sun slipped in through the gaps in the curtains, kicking up some dust.

It's the perfect weather to clean up your room.

She didn't feel too hungry, so she washed up briefly and picked up the broom and started cleaning, and suddenly, as if she remembered something, she threw down the broom and walked to the bed, and began to rummage through Ji Wu's things.

He was her husband, and she could naturally detect the change, and she felt that her husband was hiding something from her, because he was a wholesaler of dried fruits, but he seemed to be very busy and was always away from home.

She carefully rummaged through the sheets and pillows, and the small box at Ji Wu's bedside was also opened by her, and nothing unusual came out. She got under the bed again, turned out his shoeboxes, and opened them one by one.

After reading it, she seemed to be relieved a lot, it was all things that Ji Wu usually used, and there was nothing strange and special. But she couldn't seem to stop, and she rummaged through the things on the table and in the drawers, just to be more relieved.

Wardrobe? Yes, the wardrobe, and the wardrobe has not been turned over.

She turned the wardrobe inside and out, every corner, not even the pockets of her clothes.

Or nothing.

She looked up and saw a large coat box on top of the closet, and she moved a chair to step on it, looking inside and out, and then she was completely relieved.

She looked at her messy things, thinking that she had just said that she was going to clean them, but the mess was getting bigger and bigger. She had to pack up the things in the room and not let her husband, who came back suddenly, even if he couldn't come back.

Since it's so messy, it's time to do a big cleaning.

She picked up the broom and began to clean up, took out all the shoeboxes under the bed, skillfully swept the bottom of the bed, some dust was swept out, and at the same time, with a "grunt", a brown bottle rolled to her feet.

When she saw this, her heart "chuckled".

She reached out and picked up the bottle and looked at it carefully, it was an ordinary brown empty bottle, it was okay, nothing special, so she put it aside.

After cleaning for a while, she picked up the bottle again and looked at it.

She opened the cap of the bottle, and there was some residual white dust at the bottom, which was supposed to be white powder.

She sniffed it, it didn't smell, it could have been, but there was too little powder for her to smell.

She flipped the bottle over at random, but her body froze instantly.

She looked at the bottom of the bottle in disbelief, and the words "Phantom Stack Powder" engraved on the bottom of the bottle were particularly dazzling.

She sat on the ground, and felt a heavy chill crawl up the soles of her feet, gradually hitting her heart, and her whole body trembled.

An idea flashed through her mind, then gradually expanded and took shape.

It turned out to be so, and it turned out to be so.

The evening clouds gathered in the sky, as if soaked in blood, showing a faint red.

Lu Jue stood beside Liu Zhong, Liu Zhong looked into the distance, spit out smoke rings in his mouth, there were two burning fires in his pupils, and the rest was as deep as the ocean.

They stood on the top of the rooftop and looked at the most prosperous market area of the Windy City, Qionglou Yuyu, towering into the clouds.

Liu Zhong's gaze slowly moved, landing on the approximate location where he had lived before.

The location is remote, not rich, or even backward.

He has been to many places over the years, but none of them have given him a sense of "belonging", until he came to the Windy City again and saw this backward place, he realized that his roots had always been here.

He was born and raised here, and only this place can bring him stability, and if he can, he regards this place as his final home.

"The Windy City is rich and prosperous, and if things go well, the Phantom Stacks will definitely sell for a good price." Liu Zhong let out a sigh, and his square rough cheeks were plated with a faint layer of gold.

"It's possible to make a lot of money, but I didn't expect Ji Wu's ambition to be so big, because of his behavior, we lost a lot of money that we should have been able to earn."

"Ji Wu is restless, his purpose in letting Fang Xu get rid of Li Biao is to replace Li Biao, they are all withered leaf mantises, he actually used the power of the Federation to eliminate his peers."

"Not only that, Feng Yuan was burned to death for no reason, it must have been done by him."

Liu Zhong extinguished the cigarette butt, reached out and took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out another cigarette, and skillfully lit it.

The moment the lighter lit, the two small fires in his eyes turned into flickering flames, and then disappeared completely.

Ji Wu's ambition is too big, he wants to monopolize the position of the person in charge, and he does not hesitate to harm his colleagues, it is difficult to guarantee that one day he will not covet the position of the withered leaf butterfly, or even his own position. If he wants to dominate himself, then the capital chain he has built up over the years will all be in vain.

Got Longwang Shu, treacherous, fought for power and profit, and cut off his financial route, this is the last thing he wants to see.

"It looks like I'm going to have to do something to my own people, although I don't want to do it, after all, it's not good for me to have a partner missing."

"A useless chess piece, just give it up," Lu Jue said, "What I care about is who are you going to hand over this matter to do?" ”

Liu Zhong gently exhaled a puff of smoke, and the smoke condensed in the air, drifted away, and finally disappeared completely.

"Give it to Lu Xiao."

"You've always entrusted him with important tasks, and you trust him so much?"

"Of course, I raised him." Liu Zhong glanced at Lu Jue meaningfully, "I think you should trust him more than me, didn't we just want to cultivate a person who will help you whenever and wherever you are." ”

The sunset took in its last rays, and the distant twilight dimmed until the buildings and streets were gray.

Today it was getting dark very quickly, as if there were signs of snowfall.
