evenly matched

The car drove into the yard, just as Yuan Xiao moved Zhan Yang from the car to the wheelchair, the phone rang.

Yuan Xiao thought it was the target of his undercover mission this time, and it was also his boss Tang Jiayu's call. He took out the phone and found that it was Chen Siyan again!

Zhan Yang saw that his face was not right, and asked: "I lost that piece of land, and the boss came to Xingshi to question the crime?"

"It's harder to deal with than that." Yuan Xiao leaned over and kissed Zhan Yang's cheek, "I won't accompany you into the house, I'll come back tomorrow."

Seeing at the window that Yuan Xiao was going to leave if he didn't enter the house, the butler hurried out.When he went out, Yuan Xiao's car had already left.

"Mr. Zhan..." The butler pushed Zhan Yang, hesitating to speak, and kept looking in the direction of the gate.

Zhan Yang didn't know that the housekeeper was a knife talker, and if he didn't forgive Yuan Xiao, he was just talking.

This time Yuan Xiao left without entering the house. If he didn't explain clearly to him, the butler would probably have trouble sleeping and eating.

"Yuan Xiao has something to deal with and left first. He asked me to tell the butler that he wants to eat apple pie tomorrow."

The butler never doubted Zhan Yang. Hearing what he said, he thought that Yuan Xiao really wanted him to tell him, so he curled his lips: "Where are there apples this season!"

"Make braised pork for him." Zhan Yang smiled.

"Mr. Zhan can't help him all the time!" the butler whispered.

Zhan Yang smiled but didn't answer.

Seeing that it was still early, the housekeeper pushed Zhan Yang to the balcony at the back of the house, and put a small blanket on his legs.Zhan Yang pulled the blanket and frowned slightly.

"Mr. Zhan, what did the doctor say this time?" The housekeeper asked without noticing the helplessness on Zhan Yang's face.

"Start rehab next week."

"So fast?" the butler said in surprise, "but your legs are not healed yet!"

"It's been a long time ago." Zhan Yang wanted to talk to the butler about this issue a long time ago. He knew that the butler was really worried about him. During this time, he had been sitting in a wheelchair according to the butler's request, but today was the right time to speak clearly.

He pulled back the blanket and stood up under the worried eyes of the housekeeper, "There is no problem, I won't need this in the future." He pushed the wheelchair aside as he spoke.

The butler stared down at his legs for a while, then compromised, "Then... Mr. Zhan must be careful."

"I will."

Finally out of the wheelchair, Zhan Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Yuan Xiao came to the coffee shop that he had agreed with Chen Siyan.

Chen Siyan had already arrived, with a half-drunk coffee in front of him.

"Sorry, I'm late." Yuan Xiao sat down opposite him.

Chen Siyan glanced at him and asked, "What do you want to drink?"

"Need not."

Yuan Xiao doesn't like cafes, he just wants to end this conversation quickly.

Chen Siyan looked at him for a while, gave up the idea of ​​easing the relationship with him, and went straight to the point: "You already know that Zhan Yang is not dead, so the last case is not over yet."

"What do you want to say?" Yuan Xiao narrowed his eyes, and his eyes became very dangerous.

Chen Siyan looked directly at Yuan Xiao: "You have to cooperate with the task force to bring this case to a real end."

Yuan Xiao snorted, crossed his fingers on the table naturally, leaned forward, and stared at Chen Siyan: "Mr. Chen, is there something wrong with my memory? How can I remember? It was you who told me that my mission has been completed." it's over?"

"Yuan Xiao, this is your duty!"

"That's really embarrassing, I have other tasks at present, I'm afraid I have more energy than energy." Yuan Xiao said coolly.

"Is there no time to take care of it or is it selfish?!" Chen Siyan raised his voice, "You two met on the first day he came back, Yuan Xiao, this is too coincidental!"

Facing Chen Siyan's pressing question, Yuan Xiao showed a mocking smile: "Hey, who is this suspicious person? Why don't I know him?"

"It's against the law not to report it!"

The smile on Yuan Xiao's face slowly disappeared. He looked at the person opposite him with deep and heavy eyes for a long time: "Chen Siyan, think about what you have done when you threaten others with the law."

Yuan Xiao's words hit Chen Siyan's sore spot, he clenched his fist and said in a low voice, "What did I do?!"

"It's nothing." Yuan Xiao smiled faintly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I'm really busy, so I can't help you with this task. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

Yuan Xiao got up to leave, but Chen Siyan raised his hand to signal him to wait a while.

He took a deep breath, "Okay, I was wrong before, but you knew that Zhan Yang was not dead but you didn't report the news, do you know how much this will affect the progress of the whole case?

"Don't say it's for me, think about the brothers who are fighting day and night, even if it's for them, you should report the news truthfully!"

Chen Siyan's words are not unreasonable, is it his duty to fight?

--Yuan Xiao knew that he was facing a dilemma.

He was silent for a moment: "I didn't have clear news that he was still alive before. The meeting yesterday was an accident."

Chen Siyan carefully observed his every expression, he wanted to make sure that Yuan Xiao was lying, "Before yesterday, you had no contact with him?"

"No."

"Then do you know what he plans to do when he comes back this time?"

Yuan Xiao looked up at Chen Siyan, and said with a blank expression, "Getting information from him is not part of my mission."

Hearing this, Chen Siyan's first reaction was to refute Yuan Xiao with his role as an agent, but he quickly suppressed this idea, because this move would only have a counterproductive effect on Yuan Xiao.

"Even if Zhan Yang is not the target of your mission, don't forget that he is the leader of a criminal group on record!"

Chen Siyan's description of Zhan Yang completely made Yuan Xiao lose interest in continuing to chat with him. This time, he ignored Chen Siyan's obstruction, stood up, and sneered: "Mr. Chen, I will complete the task seriously, please Fulfill your duty with heart. Yang Lu, I'm counting on you!"

The moment he turned around, Yuan Xiao put away the sneer on his face and left with a gloomy expression.

In the repeated conversations with Chen Siyan, Yuan Xiao felt that he had made an extremely stupid decision - he should never have believed that Chen Siyan would find Yang Lu for him after he took on a new mission.

It is better to believe in Adelaide's spirit in heaven than to pin your hopes on a person who pretends to be self-serving!

Just as Yuan Xiao left the cafe, Tang Jiayu's phone calls came one after another.

"Mr. Tang." Yuan Xiao walked towards the parking lot while talking on the phone.

"The auction failed this time?" Tang Jiayu's voice was as calm as his own.

Although Yuan Xiao is mainly responsible for this project, he will know that this matter is not surprising at all.Yuan Xiao didn't intend to hide it from him, so he truthfully explained what happened that day.Of course, he deliberately concealed the part of his acquaintance with Zhan Yang.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and the Tang family said in a calm manner: "I heard that Zhan Yang succeeded."

Hearing the familiar name from his words, Yuan Xiao's heart tightened, he carefully chose his words, and said, "Boss Tang knows him?"

"I've heard about it a long time ago, but unfortunately I haven't seen it." Tang Jiayu paused again, "Didn't something happen before, why did he come back?"

"What happened?" Yuan Xiao wanted to see how well the other party knew Zhan Yang.

"I don't know much about the underworld. It's just that it's very violent. I've heard about it." Tang Jiayu was very shrewd, and said in a few words that he had picked it all up.

Yuan Xiao thought to himself that his purpose this time was to find out evidence that the Tang family was involved in gangsters. The opponent was so cautious, it was almost impossible to complete the task quickly.

"It's good if you give him the land." The Tang family Yu said, "It's considered a meeting gift."

Yuan Xiao keenly sensed the danger from it, and he asked: "Mr. Tang intends to get acquainted with Zhan Yang?"

"He's a talent."

"But his background..."

A few very magnetic laughter came from the other end of the phone: "What I want is that his background is not clean."

Yuan Xiao racked his brains to find out more, but the other party no longer planned to say more about "acquaintance".

"I want to ask him to play golf, you help me find a way."

Yuan Xiao sneered in his heart, pretending to be embarrassed: "Mr. Tang, if I remember correctly, Zhan Yang went there in a wheelchair that day."

"Oh? It seems that the injury is not serious." For some reason, Tang Jiayu was very happy when he heard the news. He pondered for a moment, "Then invite him to dinner, and I will leave this matter to you, and get it done as soon as possible." ."

"Okay, Mr. Tang." Yuan Xiao agreed with a smile on his face.

After hanging up the phone, he was preoccupied and lit a cigarette.As far as he knew, Tang Jiayu was not a sociable person, he suddenly showed such enthusiasm for Zhan Yang, there must be some conspiracy in it!

All the way home, Yuan Xiao was absent-minded. As soon as he entered the door, he called Zhan Yang.

"Do you know the Tang family?"

"do not know."

Yuan Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, but he didn't notice it himself.

"Why, this person has something to do with me?" Zhan Yang asked.

"It's my mission target this time."

After Yuan Xiao finished speaking, Zhan Yang suddenly became quiet.

"Zhan Yang?"

"Oh." Zhan Yang replied indifferently, and continued, "I wish you an early completion of the task."

"...What's wrong?" Yuan Xiao heard strange emotions from Zhan Yang's words, he could detect it, but couldn't interpret it.
