Chapter 127: A Different Morning (Chapter 2 in One)
Chapter 127: Early in the morning
The green brick alleys in the early morning are always full of life.
Li Guanchao drove the bulletproof off-road vehicle customized for him by Qin Ruyan to John's house, and lit a cigarette first without hurry.
Smoking is harmful to health, but when he has nothing to do, Li Guanchao especially wants to make himself less healthy, but in fact he has been very healthy, and he has been healthy for too many years.
Last night, John went home and started to pack his things, and he didn't tell Li Guanchao why he decided to go to the countryside this time, but it was obvious that something must have happened.
Li Guanchao insisted on going with him, and he was not idle.
Asking for leave is easy for him, but it is really difficult to deal with Su Qiang and Lu Zhanpeng.
Thirty-six plans, go to the top of the plan, if you continue to stay here, with Su Qiang and Lu Zhanpeng's enthusiastic arrangement now, it seems that you have to compete for a high and low trend in yourself, and next time it will not be as simple as eating and drinking tea, and the development may take him to take him to take a bath and massage.
So it's better to go to the countryside with John to avoid the limelight.
Without waiting long, John walked out with all his belongings.
Putting the luggage into the trunk, he sat in the passenger seat, looked left and right, found no car mark, and couldn't help asking: "No, what kind of car is this?"
Li Guanchao: "Luxury cars. β
Looking at a large number of unintelligible buttons, John asked, "What does this all do?" β
Li Guanchao: "You navigate first." β
John took out his mobile phone and typed in 'Dongfeng Village', and the voice prompt for navigation rang in his ears.
Li Guanchao stepped on the accelerator, and the bulletproof special vehicle entered the lane and moved all the way.
"I forgot to ask you last night, what made you make up your mind?"
"Xiaoxue sent me a WeChat message. β
Xiaoxue is John's fiancΓ©e.
About three months ago, because John was talking about marriage with her family, the gift money was not negotiated and it was delayed, and she was arrested by her parents and returned to the countryside, and she has never returned.
"What did you say?"
"Said that if I didn't go, his father would arrange family affairs for him. β
After saying this, John also lit a cigarette, took a hard puff, coughed twice, and his head was full of various pictures of the business in the store a few years ago, and he and Xiaoxue lived together for a year.
Li Guanchao knew that John and Xiaoxue had some true feelings, and this reason could indeed make John go to the countryside again.
It's just that...
"Are you going to take the bride price?"
John took another puff and nodded: "Well, recently I found out that the more money in my pocket and the more big sisters around me, the more I miss Xiaoxue...."
Saying that, he looked at Li Guanchao: "You said this person, are they all cheap?"
Li Guanchao agreed: "You are cheap, and you have nothing to do with other people. β
If John in the past heard Li Guanchao's words, he would definitely give him a punch.
But not today, John, who had dyed back his black hair, lowered his head slightly, put one hand on the window and flicked cigarette ash, his eyes looked at the sky, and he couldn't say a little melancholy uncle.
Li Guanchao didn't continue to joke, and followed the navigation tips all the way to the main road of the city, which happened to pass by the city center near the river.
"Look. John pointed.
Li Guanchao, who had been looking ahead, tilted his head and saw that the building of a sporting goods center was completely covered by a huge poster.
The poster is Zhao Xiaokai, and the freeze frame is the moment when he crossed the line on the track and field, full of power running, relaxed and handsome face, and the poster that constantly fluctuates with the wind, making his long flowing hair a dynamic picture, swaying with the wind.
Li Guanchao smiled: "It seems that the God of War still can't sleep in the kennel." β
John knew that Zhao Xiaokai was able to have today because of his cultivation, and he couldn't do without Li Guanchao's training.
Presumably, what event Zhao Xiaokai attends casually now is enough for him to give a haircut for a year...
Although he has made a lot of money recently, John, who really wants to give the bride price money and has nothing left, looked at Li Guanchao.
Li Guanchao found his hot gaze: "What's wrong?"
John was very serious: "I want to be a superstar." β
Li Guanchao blinked and said, "No..."
John: "Why, is it because of my spiritual qualifications?"
Li Guanchao shook his head: "No, the main thing is that you can't look good." β
John finally couldn't bear it anymore and gave Li Guanchao a punch, which made the originally dull atmosphere in the car disappear.
The sunlight tilted and fell into the car.
A new day begins.
......
When Li Guanchao and John went out of the city, Su Jie also drove to the small courtyard.
She didn't care about Li Guanchao's desertion, and even wanted to laugh a little.
put the breakfast he brought on the dining table, habitually combed the braids of each of Coco and Liu Chaoxi, and when they finished washing, the three of them sat down to eat breakfast.
After a pleasant breakfast, Su Jie sent them to Alliston, waved goodbye at the school gate, turned around and got into the car, and drove to the company.
Although the advertising company has been sold, it will take some days for the handover to be completed, and there are many things that need to be confirmed with Mr. Qian.
Coincidentally, it is the same as Li Guanchao and John.
After coming to the company, she stood in front of the office window and saw a huge poster of Zhao Xiaokai hanging in the sports mall opposite the CBD, and couldn't help but smile.
Before Mr. Qian and the others arrived, she sent a WeChat message to Zhao Xiaokai.
learned that his plane landed in Linjiang tonight, and Zhao Xiaokai sent her endless messages...
- Brother Su, everyone is eating in the courtyard at night.
- Inside, I brought you a mysterious gift.
Su Jie - Li Guanchao and John went to the countryside.
Zhao Xiaokai - What are you doing in the countryside, because the city has deep routines?
Su Jie - it's really...
After a little chat, there was a noise outside the office door.
Su Jie put down her mobile phone and pushed open the door, and when she saw Mr. Qian and his party, she had to put the others aside in advance.
She knew a busy day was at the beginning.
......
Alliston.
Lu Jiayi is late today.
The reason for being late was not because Li Guanchao stayed a little late at his house last night, but because he couldn't sleep a little.
As for the reason why she couldn't sleep, it was undoubtedly because of Li Guanchao, so in the face of her direct boss, Sister Cao, the head teacher of Keke and Liu Chaoxi, she explained with a smile while scolding the dog man in her heart.
Simply, Alliston, who prefers to hold various events, has no events today.
Of course, Sister Cao didn't bother with Lu Jiayi, and said, "Pay attention next time." "I went to class with a thermos cup.
Lu Jiayi sat on her desk and began to be in a daze.
I don't know how long she was in a daze, but the vibration of her phone interrupted her thoughts.
When I opened it, it was a message from Coco that she wanted to eat with her at noon.
Lu Jiayi, who had nothing to do and didn't know what to do, immediately agreed.
Then I glanced out the window at the sun today and knew that a boring day had begun....
......
Top floor of the Sheriff's Bureau.
Everyone in the Office of the Action Team felt a little strange today.
It may be that they are all accustomed to being busy and glancing at the most window-nearest location.
There will always be someone there who maintains a different rhythm from them, sometimes drinking coffee, sometimes drinking tea, but inevitably with their feet on the windowsill and enjoying a leisurely life.
But today he wasn't there, so people were a little uncomfortable.
Especially Wu Yong and Jiang Bo.
Li Guanchao didn't come on leave today, and they all felt a little absent-minded.
It may be that they have been working together for a long time, even if there is no Li Guanchao here, they will do what they should do, but they will be more comfortable if they are not there, and they will feel awkward when they are not there.
Jiang Bo and Wu Yong felt this feeling at the same time, then glanced at each other and began to whisper.
"Do you know what you're doing watching the tide?"
"I don't know, I think there's something important. β
Jiang Bo frowned: "If Li Guanchao thinks that something important must be a big thing, do you want to ask?" β
Wu Yong shook his head: "If you want to ask, you ask yourself." β
The two didn't talk for long, and the landline in the office rang more and more frequently.
So they picked up phone call after phone, recording one thing after another, and at the same time they all understood... The fucking day begins.
......
As a professor expert.
As long as there are no scheduled meetings and emergencies, Lu Zhanpeng's working hours are flexible.
But the fact that he has plenty of time doesn't mean that he is idle, in fact he is very, very busy.
A few days ago, I went to the hospital and found out that I had cancer, which requires me to do a lot of mental construction for myself every day in order to live as usual.
As an animal expert, he has seen the animals of the whole world have changed dramatically, and he is very interested in studying some things professionally.
At the same time, he also had to sort out his thoughts and think about how Li Guanchao would trick him after he came back from the countryside....
So after driving to the well-fortified Animal City early in the morning, he did not get out of the car as soon as possible, but sat in the car for half an hour.
I don't know what to do, so he got out of the car, showed his ID card, went through many security checks, and entered his workplace.
It's just that there is something unusual about Zootopia today.
There were green trucks everywhere, and there were servicemen in full gear.
Lu Zhanpeng walked into the office quickly, casually asked his colleagues who had arrived early in the office building, and learned that the mountains around Linjiang would be rounded up by a dragnet today, so he was relieved.
In fact, since the national announcement, such hunts have been going on all over the country.
Originally, because the survival environment is getting worse and worse, the habitat of the animals is getting less and less, and the number is not much, and there is naturally not much left after several roundups.
Lu Zhanpeng is a little worried about whether this will have a major impact on the ecology.
But he knew that even if it had an impact, it would do the same.
Because what is the life of an animal compared to the life of a human being?
Thinking about these things, he came to the office, and happened to meet the extraordinarily diligent Abin who was cleaning the corridor.
Abin smiled when he saw him: "Professor Lu, good morning." β
Lu Zhanpeng nodded: "Good morning, Abin, how many steamed buns did you eat this morning?"
A few days ago, the two met in the breakfast cafeteria, and he was shocked by the amount of food Abin ate, but Lao Lu had never been to the small courtyard and had never seen Liu Chaoxi, otherwise he would definitely open his eyes again.
Hearing Lu Zhanpeng's words, Abin smiled: "I ate ten steamed buns." β
As he spoke, he laughed, continued to hold the mop, and dragged the ground neatly.
Lu Zhanpeng pushed open the door of his office: "Yes, then I'll go in first." β
"Goodbye, Professor Lu. β
A Bin, who was full of smiles, watched Lao Lu walk into the office, and then restrained his smile with a deep gaze.
He knew that the so-called round-up did not count casualties.
That is, many animals will die in the mountains today, and the rest will be transported here.
But there's no good ending for them either.
Most animals are like a pair of disposable gloves that become laboratory supplies and are discarded after use.
Abin will not abandon them, today is the best time.
Through the previous roundups, the number of animals in Animal City has become extremely considerable, and it already has the power to overturn the fortifications here.
In addition, today's round-up operation involves the handover of multiple personnel in Animal City, as well as the steps of recording, cage and so on, there will inevitably be some relaxation.
So he's going to get moving.
In the action plan, now appearing outside Lu Zhanpeng's office door is also one of the steps.
After clearing his thoughts, he knocked on Lu Zhanpeng's office door and asked, "Professor Lu." β
Lu Zhanpeng opened the door defenselessly when he heard Abin's voice: "What's wrong?"
"Does your office need to be cleaned?"
Lu Zhanpeng shook his head with a smile, but at this moment he found that the corners of Ah Bin's mouth were not upturned as before, but sinking.
Just as he was about to ask what was wrong with you, Abin stretched out his hand.
Slender and neat, it doesn't look like a cleaning staff at all, especially someone who often has to take care of animal waste.
This is the end of my thoughts.
Lu Zhanpeng just saw a hand.
Because it was so fast, he didn't even feel the severe pain, he lost consciousness and fell limply.
Abin held him up and led him to the office door.
It was very easy to put Lu Zhanpeng on his office chair, and lowered the back of the chair, so that he almost lay on it.
Of course, this is not to make Lu Zhanpeng comfortable, but just for the convenience of later.
Then, Abin fumbled through the inner pocket of his clothes and found an old-fashioned wallet.
An electromagnetic card.
A personal ID.
There is also a badge in the animal base, as well as a mobile phone.
He placed these things neatly on the table, glanced at Lu Zhanpeng, and found that blood was flowing from the corner of Lu Zhanpeng's mouth, so he took out a paper towel from the paper on the desktop and wiped it for Lu Zhanpeng.
After finishing his work, Abin came to the office door and bent down and took out a box from the bucket he brought to wash the mop.
Placing the box on the table as well, he opened it.
All kinds of scalpels, scissors, and even needles and threads appeared in front of his eyes, some of which seemed to be too sharp and shimmered against the morning light.
Abin put on a pair of disposable gloves and came to the window.
As he closed the curtains, he glanced at the busy morning in Animal City.
When the room was dark, Ah Bin's eyes lit up, he copied a small bench, sat next to Lu Zhanpeng, who was half-lying in the office chair, and picked up a sharp knife in his other hand.
He knew that a bloody day had begun.
