"I didn't know they named it Thousand Worlds, it's smelly and long."

Lin Jiqiao took out a handful of vegetables, put them in the sink, turned on the faucet, and said through the rushing water, "The Chinese translation is not bad."

"Be careful, don't touch the water." Xu Anyi took the position in front of the pool, "Did Cavill look for you?"

If the code in the verification video sent to Cavill was author verification, then the other party should take action.

Lin Jiqiao didn't answer.

The soup pot "gurgled" to boil, she said, "Or, let's forget it."

"Are you sure it's here?"

Although it was in a shopping mall, the front, back, left, and right shops were all empty, and several of the bookstore's signboard LED lights had exploded.

As the evening approached, the place also had a dying air.

Chen Xi shrunk his neck, put his phone in his breast pocket, and put on the airpods, "What time is it, the air conditioner is fully turned on."

Gu Pan couldn't believe it, he took out his phone and checked the address several times, "It's here."

A cleaner with a bucket and a mop came across. Gu Pan called her and asked politely, "Hi, do you know how long this bookstore has been open?"

The cleaner is an aunt in her fifties, who speaks Mandarin with a northern accent, "It's been two or three years since the mall was built and came in, and it's going to cost tens of thousands a month, so I haven't moved yet. Boss, what's missing? mind."

The cleaner shook his head and left. Gu Pan and Chen Xi looked at each other, and decided to go in and ask about the situation.

The bookstore is small, mostly books in foreign languages, and a certain European professional film magazine is placed prominently.Chen Xi turned over, and a smell of smoke spread from the inside to the outside.

A tall and thin man with a beard came out of it. He wore a white vest and plastic slippers, which matched Shen Hongxuan's attire.With a cigarette in his mouth, he said in a bad tone, "If you don't buy it, don't touch it."

"Mr. Chu?" Gu Pan asked calmly, "Is it appropriate to call you Director Lu?"

The man took out an ashtray to put out the cigarette butt, his beard covered up most of his emotions, but he couldn't hide the guard in his eyes: "What are you doing?"

"Excuse me." Gu Pan handed out his business card, "It's just Ludao's fan."

The man glanced at him but didn't answer, "I'm just a bookstore owner, I don't know anyone with the surname Lu."

At some point, Chen Xi slipped behind the counter and lit a cigarette, "Then do you know the director surnamed Han?"

She held up a magazine spread out on the table, it was a special interview with "West Out of Yangguan", and in the middle was a photo of Han Cheng wearing a peaked cap.

The man waved his hand impatiently, "I don't know any directors or directors. If you don't buy books, don't disturb my business."

"You don't know him, but he knows you." Chen Xi took out his phone from his breast pocket, and Han Cheng smiled gently on the screen, "Xiao Fei, long time no see."

Chapter 29

"You said you would tell me the result." Lin Jiqiao angrily took Gu Pan's freshly opened pudding, "I won't give it to you."

Gu Pan was also very helpless, "But there is no result, the road guide---Chu Xing didn't say anything, even Han Cheng didn't recognize it."

Han Cheng is Lu Mingfei's schoolmate.According to Han Cheng, he and Lu Mingfei have known each other for nearly ten years and have joined the same club. Even if the other party has plastic surgery, he can still recognize the man in the bookstore from his habitual movements and gait—— Director of Winter in Las Vegas.

What's more, he didn't have plastic surgery, he just changed his name from Lu Mingfei to Chu Xing, and then refused to admit his past to death.

"It seems...it depends on you." Gu Pan said earnestly, "I know you must have a way."

"No." Lin Jiqiao knew what she was thinking, "I will not use any illegal means to obtain information."

Gu Pan didn't hide her insult at all, "Is your method of finding his new identity and address legal?"

Lin Jiqiao took a big mouthful of pudding angrily, "That's the information he posted on the Internet, and everyone can see it."

Gu Pan responded swiftly, "Why didn't I see it?"

"I hate you." Lin Jiqiao turned his back to her, "I don't want to talk to you."

"Hey..." Gu Pan is not surprised by this childish attitude.She turned her head to look at the dark north room, "Where's An Yi, she hasn't come back yet?"

"I don't know." Lin Jiqiao said vaguely, "I'm on a business trip."

Gu Pan immediately wrote "there is a situation" in capital letters, "Where did she go and when did she come back and didn't tell you?"

"Why did she tell me?" Lin Jiqiao asked back, "Am I a control freak?"

"do not you?"

Lin Jiqiao grabbed the aluminum foil cover of the pudding and threw it over, "You go!"

Gu Pan caught it, "Oh right, it seems like I'm going to prepare for a screening."

The release date of "West Out of Yangguan" is getting closer and closer, and the publicity is getting more and more overwhelming.Along the way, Gu Pan saw a lot of billboards, and the social platforms also had every opportunity to promote them.

Correspondingly, the topic of #劫护西出阳关#, which had been dormant for a while, revived.The roadshows in the four major cities were more or less met with live protests from activists.

If you don't know the truth, Gu Panting applauds the spark of the affirmative-rights movement.

In the past, people believed that more things are worse than less things. Even if they were violated, they would swallow their anger due to the influence of customs and public opinion, and the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of powerful people was useless.

This me too movement has made people realize that silence is not the best choice at any time, blindly forbearing will not bring peace, and secondary damage caused by silence abounds.

Speak up at least to let the powerful know that what he/she did is definitely not an industry practice or a low-level joke that he or she keeps saying, but a criminal act that violates the personal rights of others.

The fall of many people not only strengthens the confidence of the promoters and participants of affirmative action activities, cleans up the social environment, but also makes more victims no longer criticize themselves, and even look down on those powerful people who have made mistakes but are still aloof .

But public opinion and public opinion have always been double-edged swords and weapons, not the executors themselves.The will of the group is easily exploited by those with a heart, and becomes a sharp weapon to eliminate dissidents.

If he hadn't learned the truth during his trip to the northwest, Gu Pan would have sentenced Shen Hongxuan to death as early as the day he made the video confession.

However, the facts are indeed unexpected. What the party said came from a carefully arranged situation, so how can outsiders defend him?

It is impossible for Shen Hongxuan to spread out the infertility report of the authoritative organization to others - even if it is of any use to publish it, he has confessed it himself.

And Xu Anyi...

Gu Pan rubbed his face, there were so many things to worry about.

Seeing Lin Jiqiao concentrate on eating her second box of pudding in a blink of an eye, Gu Pan deliberately lowered his voice, "Something must have happened to you two, to be honest..."

Lin Jiqiao hesitated whether to tell her or not, and only heard Gu Pan ask, "Did you revisit seven times a day?"

"..." Lin Jiqiao lifted the tablecloth, "Gu Pan!"

"Annoyed?" Gu Pan laughed loudly, "Lin Lin, there's nothing to be ashamed about, Mensao Landlord and Pretty Tenant, what a classic cp. You see, you haven't been very happy recently."

"No." Lin Jiqiao's voice was an octave lower than hers, "I just suspect that she may know."

Knowing that they had a past three years ago.Although only three days.

"Hmm...huh?" Gu Pan hesitated for a moment, "You don't know?"

The two stared with big eyes and small eyes, Pudding jumped up, and the Three Kingdoms stood up.

Lin Jiqiao pulled the cat into his arms and asked, "Know what?"
