Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

4am.

Su Li was waiting in the cold wind. She had built-in headphones in her ears and was following the man's instructions. Su Li was a little nervous inside. This was the middle-level circular street close to Area 51.

There was almost no one at this point now. Su Li was sitting at the cellar door in an alley, still waiting. She felt a little uneasy in her heart, but the man on the phone knew everything about Lu Xian, which made Su Li a little shocked. of.

In fact, Su Li later sent someone to secretly inquire about Lu Xian's situation. At that time, Lu Xian was working in a low-level financial company, but after a while, Lu Xian disappeared.

Su Li never saw Lu Xian again. This incident should have been forgotten in her heart. Su Li had almost forgotten the past for a long time. Until now, she is getting older and older. Su Li has no memory of what happened back then. It's becoming clearer.

The long-suppressed emotions in the past burst out in one breath. Su Li's longing for Lu Xian became deeper and deeper. Su Li even dreamed of Lu Xian many times.

Su Li has been a little depressed recently. She can only go to Su Xin to talk about some happy things in the past, talk about some of her experiences over the years, and ask Su Xin about some things in the past.

At this time, Su Li was lying under the guardrail, looking at an exhaust machine not far away on the stairs. She was still waiting. The man on the phone told Su Li that Lu Xian was still active in the underground world.

Su Li also heard about some of Lu Xian's experiences. Lu Xian was a black market middleman who had been working for many years. Over the years, Lu Xian used fake identities to help some gang members launder money and participated in many crimes. In crime.

This was a bit hard for Su Li to imagine, but if she thought about it carefully, when she sent people to investigate Lu Xian before, he had indeed been with the gang members. Su Li was quite angry at the time.

Because she felt that Lu Xian had fallen, but her father later told the truth before he died. Everything was planned by his father, and the two agreed to miss each other by one day.

Lu Xian didn't ask for the Su family's money and left directly. Su Li couldn't imagine how Lu Xian spent these years. Now she just longs to see Lu Xian.

Following the words of the man on the phone, Su Li got paper and pen, wrote down a message, and then delivered it to the door of a rental house.

The man said that if he did this, Lu Xian would show up. Su Li looked nervously at the switch machine in front of her. Although the night was cold, Su Li was wearing thick clothes. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps and some people from the 5th department under the light. Coming over, Su Li hurriedly turned around and came to the door under the stairs and hid.

Su Li didn't want anyone else to know for the time being. She knew very well that this matter could not be made public for the time being. She very much hoped to help Lu Xian and planned to have a good talk with Lu Xian first.

In the current situation, if Lu Xian is caught by the administrative department, he will definitely go to jail, so Su Li wants to do something in advance. Although everything is very urgent now, as long as everything is done well, there should be no problem.

The man on the phone said that as long as Su Li followed the route he told, she would not be exposed. Su Li waited nervously for the people from the business department to pass by. She felt that something was wrong and she had to see Lu Xian.

Because patrols on the streets are extremely frequent now, Su Li thought carefully, maybe it was because she suddenly disappeared, and her cousin Su Xin notified the people in the business department.

As time passed, a man's voice came from the miniature earphones.

"Don't worry, just relax. Lu Xian has already gone out. He will arrive in about half an hour."

Su Li swallowed. Although the city had carried out large-scale raids on the black market before, there were still fish that slipped through the net. I am afraid that many black market middlemen have simply stopped working or have hidden themselves.

Su Li looked at the guardrail in front of her anxiously, and she kept swallowing. After so many years, Su Li didn't know if she could still remember Lu Xian.

After a while, Su Li felt a little sleepy. People from Section 5 could still be seen walking by on the street. The frequency of patrols had indeed increased, and people from Section 5 kept knocking on some room doors and talking to some people.

Su Li waited quietly. At this moment, after some people from Section 5 passed by, a man wearing a large windbreaker walked into the alley. He went directly to the exhaust machine, then squatted down and groped underneath. , Su Li observed the man quietly, and the man seemed a little panicked.

"Go ahead, he is Lu Xian."

A man's voice came from the miniature earphones. Su Li swallowed, then stood up and walked over.

The man also saw Su Li. He stood up to leave in a panic, and Su Li shouted.

"Are you Lu Xian?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked at each other in the dim light. Su Li walked over step by step. The man did not leave but looked at Su Li with his hands in his pockets.

After a while, Su Li walked over and said with a smile.

"You are Lu Xian, right?"

The man did not answer, with anger in his cold eyes, Su Li said again.

"Do you remember me? I am"

Snapped.

The man pinched Su Li's throat. Su Li looked at the man in shock. At this time, the man finally spoke, and an old voice sounded.

"What do you want to do?"

Su Li didn't struggle and just closed her eyes, the man asked.

"Did you give me the information at the contact point? What is your purpose? Are you from the business department? Or were you sent here by them?"

After the man finished speaking, he looked around nervously. At this time, people from Section 5 passed by. The man suddenly covered Su Li's mouth and jumped directly to the roof. Su Li was a little stunned. This man was a mutant.

The man finally let go of Su Li. For a moment, Su Li coughed and gasped. She took off her veil. The man just turned his head and was stunned for a moment. Under the light, the man saw Su Li's face clearly.

"Sully?"

There was fear in the man's eyes, and he took a step back unconsciously. Su Li asked after standing up.

"Are you Lu Xian?"

Su Li looked at these eyes, which began to overlap with the eyes in her memory. The man looked at Su Li blankly.

"how did you find me?"

Su Li asked, shaking her head.

"Where have you been all these years? I'm looking for you."

Lu Xian snorted coldly.

"I don't need to tell you, tell me Su Li, who asked you to do this?"

Su Li shook her head.

"I don't know, it's a man who calls himself a ghost."

Lu Xian was a little stunned, Su Li walked over step by step and said.

"Can you tell me something about you over the years?"

Lu Xian smiled.

"Even if you know it, it's meaningless Su Li. No one can help me."

After Lu Xian finished speaking, he turned to leave. Su Li hurried over and grabbed him and said.

"Wait, wait, okay?"

There was anger in Lu Xian's eyes. He pushed Su Li away roughly. Su Li fell to the ground. Lu Xian clenched his fists and laughed.

"Now that things have happened, why do you think of looking for me? Is it because you can't forget me?"

"yes!"

After Su Li finished speaking, Lu Xian was stunned. He did not leave, but looked at Su Li.

After a while, Lu Xian held Su Li and shuttled between the floors. Soon Lu Xian took Su Li to a street at the junction of the middle floor and the lower floor, entered a small independent four-story house, and entered directly Into the basement.

Snap.

The lights came on. Su Li gasped and her hands were a little stiff from the cold. Lu Xian walked over and turned on the air quality generator. Su Li looked at the basement, which was about hundreds of square meters in area and had a simple boat and bathroom. Bathroom, and shelves.

There were bags of black things on the shelf. Su Li looked at the man in front of her. She was almost unrecognizable, but the outline was still very similar. Lu Xian had a gray beard and his hair was a lot whiter. He stood up. He took out a bottle of wine from a cabinet and poured Su Li a small glass.

Su Li took a sip and soon felt warm.

"Who is the ghost?"

Lu Xian asked, Su Li shook her head.

"After I went shopping with my cousin tonight, this man who claimed to be a ghost called and said he knew where you were and might help me find you."

Lu Xian laughed. After he sat down, he looked at Su Li and said.

"You haven't changed much in all these years."

Su Li smiled.

"I'm already old."

Lu Xian smiled helplessly.

"You can leave in a moment. If you want to help me, don't tell anyone that I'm here."

Su Li asked with a slight frown.

"What on earth are you doing?"

After Lu Xian thought for a while, he stood up and picked up the packages on the shelf, and then opened a package. Su Li looked at it in astonishment, and it was all filled with banknotes.

"Think of a way, there should be a way."

Su Li said in a panic.

Lu Xian laughed.

"Now several of the gangs I serve have been arrested and are awaiting trial. Now Section 5 is still looking for evidence of their crimes. These things have become waste paper."

Lu Xian said and threw the bag of money back on the shelf casually, smiling bitterly.

"Fortunately you didn't follow me back then."

After Lu Xian finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and lit it, and Su Li smiled.

"I feel a little regretful now. You didn't get the money back then, and the time you gave me was one day late."

Lu Xian exhaled a puff of smoke and smiled relaxedly.

"never mind."

Su Li shook her head.

"My father replaced the content on the paper, found someone to forge the notes, and then postponed the date. I waited for you all day and night."

Lu Xian's eyes were a little moved, and he smiled.

"Don't mention the past, it's meaningless. I can only live here now and rarely go out. After all, I have too many things on my back."

Su Li leaned over and asked.

"How did you get involved with the gang members after that? Why did you want to go?"

Lu Xian smiled.

"I have no choice. I am a slave and a gangster. I can no longer survive. I can only cooperate with the gang members. I don't know where the problem is in my life, but what is certain is that I have no future. ”

Su Li said.

"How about surrendering?"

Lu Xian shook his head.

"If I surrender, it will not just be as simple as going to jail. There is already too much blood on my hands, and there is nothing I can do no matter what."

Su Li swallowed and then asked.

"Did you kill someone?"

Lu Xian nodded.

"Not one or two, but many."

Su Li was extremely panicked, Lu Xian said with a smile.

"Why are you scared?"

Lu Xian stared at Su Li. Over the years, he still read some news about Su Li from time to time. After all, as the head of the Su family, news about Su Li came almost every day.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Su Li asked, Lu Xian said with a smile.

"Of course, after the trial of those gang members is over, I will destroy all the evidence, and then I can live in the sun."

Su Li lowered her head. She was very confused at this time. She didn't know how to help this man. Lu Xian stood up and walked to the door of the room, then smiled.

"Go back, Su Li."

Su Li said without getting up.

"Can I stay with you a little longer?"

Lu Xian laughed.

"If you stay here and I change my mind, maybe I'll kill you."

Su Li looked at Lu Xian in shock, and Lu Xian suddenly laughed and said.

"just kidding with you."

After Lu Xian opened the door, Su Li looked at the dark passage. She felt that this was not a joke. She did not get up. Her feet seemed to be frozen and she did not want to leave.

"Is that so?"

Lu Xian closed the door and then locked it with a click. Lu Xian turned and walked towards Su Li, his expression became evil. Su Li stared at Lu Xian. At this time, Lu Xian sat next to Su Li and said.

"Over the years, I have often thought that if I had taken the 100,000 your father gave me, my current life situation would be different."

Su Li nodded and Lu Xian smiled.

"Many times, people should be cruel. In that era, only cruel people could survive. I struggled countless times, wanting to live in the sun, but I could only deal with criminals again and again. Gradually, I I was also addicted to this feeling, and finally one day, my affairs were discovered by a man. I was afraid of being exposed, so I killed the man."

After Lu Xian finished speaking, he looked at Su Li, who lowered her head and asked.

"Even if you keep hiding, it may not be an option. Because Section 5 will not let go of even the slightest clue."

Lu Xian smiled.

"Yes. They will not let go of any information. After all, things are completely different now than before. It would be great if we could live in such an era."

Lu Xian said, stretched out his hand and pressed it on Su Li's cheek, and Su Li pressed the back of Lu Xian's hand.

"There is nothing we can do now. After the last criminal investigation, many people are looking for me. I know very well that if I die, they may be charged with lighter crimes."

After Lu Xian finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Lu Xian stood up alertly and said.

"Looks like I'm exposed."

Su Li looked at the door nervously, Lu Xian smiled.

"It looks like this."

Su Li said hurriedly.

"Report the crime. If you do, Section 5 will be here within a few minutes."

Lu Xian laughed and shook his head.

"I have no future anymore, Su Li, hide."

After speaking, Lu Xian stood at the door, and Su Li got up and ran to the back of the shelf.
