imaginary lover

"Think about it carefully, is there any place Brother T might go?" May followed Li Yunwei into the bedroom and asked him.

Li Yunwei shook his head: "He won't run around without saying hello. He will at least tell me where he is going. I am worried that something will happen to him."

There was no one around the intersection, Li Yunwei ran blindly along the street, hoping to see Through.

But it didn't happen.

Yu Xiaochuan called back the call claiming to replenish the stock, but the phone was turned off and he couldn't be reached.

May took a chance and said that maybe he was in a hurry and went back to Zhiying, Li Yunwei hurried back to the mansion, but the servant reported that Manager T had not returned.

Li Yunwei sat on the bed dejectedly, with his chin resting on his hands, his face solemn.

Where will you be, Through?

pat, pat, pat...

Be quiet, it's noisy...

pat, pat...

very noisy...

Barely opened his eyes, what he saw was a thick back.From the corner of the eye, the surroundings were dim, five or six people were walking in the empty corridor, and the slippers slapped on the ground to form a fading echo.

His head was hanging upside down, a little swollen from congestion.His arms were tied behind his back, and his ankles seemed to be tied with ropes indiscriminately.

Through gradually regained consciousness, he tried to raise his head, and there was a sharp pain in the back of his neck.He vaguely recalled the hand knife, and when it fell, it was so powerful that Through thought he would be decapitated.

"This kid is awake." The person carrying Through felt the movement and said.

"Hmph, it's okay, he can't run away." The person on the side said.

At the end of the hallway was an empty room, and Through was thrown on the battered cushions.He quickly looked around the environment. There were a few simple chairs in a mess in the room, and a few rolls of bedding piled up by the wall. There was no window, and the incandescent tube above his head was used for lighting. If the rusty iron door was closed, it would be a complete disaster. Chamber of Secrets.

In other words, it is difficult to have a chance to escape.

"Boss." Someone shouted respectfully. Through turned to the door, a middle-aged man with a big belly limped over, his clothes were shabby, his hair was greasy, his chin was blue with stubble, he threw the leftover cigarette butt on the ground, squatting The lower body roughly tore off Through's mask.

"I asked you to bring me that brat Li Yunwei, not him," said the crippled man.

"Boss, we originally wanted to let the people from Zhiying Bar transport the hypnotic bombs in, and then tie up the person surnamed Li after they all fell down. Get out of the box and run back to report the messenger, but fortunately there were so many of us that we were able to stop him, and then knocked him unconscious and brought him back."

"What can you do when you bring it back?" The crippled man waved his hand impatiently, "It's just a bartender, let's deal with it." Then he got up and left.

"But he said he was Zhiying's steward..." said one of his subordinates.

"The steward?" The crippled man stopped and stared back at Through's face, "I remember that the steward who abandoned his shadow wasn't so young. Could it be that you are from Zhisheng's side?"

The crippled man squatted down again, pinched Through's chin and looked up and down: "Could it be that you are the one next to Li?" The shaking made Through's eyes hurt.

"It seems that this kid is useful, don't kill him yet, watch carefully so that he doesn't get away."

Li Yunwei has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights. May knocked on the door and entered his bedroom, seeing his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes.

"Sleep for a while, you won't be able to bear it like this." May advised.

"If I don't see him, I can't sleep." Li Yunwei said.

May sighed and sat next to Li Yunwei: "My Brother T has his own appearance, and nothing will happen. He has been hiding in Zhisheng's mansion for so many years and has no contact with the outside world, so he can't make any enemies. I have already told Uncle Rong to go Thoroughly investigate the debts Brother T's father owed during his lifetime, and see if it has anything to do with this."

Li Yunwei nodded, then frowned and shook his head.He reached out and opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out two shiny objects.

May leaned over to see that it was a bullet casing.

"It's possible that he came for me, and tied him up to threaten me." Li Yunwei came to this conclusion, and his heart sank.

"But will anyone recognize him? Don't you hide your face every time you go out?" May said, took the bullet casing in Li Yunwei's hand and looked it over carefully, and asked, "Have you ever been to North Carolina?"

"Huh? No, what's the matter?" Li Yunwei asked suspiciously, vaguely feeling that this place name seemed to have been heard somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Then where did you get the No.-23?" May held the shell and lifted it up, and said to Li Yunwei, "This thing and special guns have only been produced in North Carolina in a small amount, and they are very useful for ultra-long-range sniping."

"Ultra-long-distance sniping?" Li Yunwei frowned, suddenly realizing, "No wonder... in such a wide and flat open space by the sea, you will still be attacked."

"?" May was puzzled.

"This was the bullet that injured Through when I was attacked for the second time. He wanted to use the professional books in my father's study to study, but the progress was interrupted by the transfer of duties. After a long time I haven't encountered any other suspicious changes, and the whole matter is still unclear, so the investigation is temporarily shelved. Ah, speaking of it, Through seems to have mentioned North Carolina at the time. I went to the study to see if there is any relevant information Record it."

"Don't go," May waved his hand nonchalantly, "You can't find it, how could there be such a book? Brother T understands it because," May paused, as if hesitating whether to say, Finally, he sighed resignedly, "It's because of the hidden gun smuggling business of Qiying. Due to the short supply of this model, we failed to bid at a high price a few years ago. He may have seen the graphic materials at that time and remembered some fur."

"Secret gun smuggling..." Li Yunwei frowned, "Are you still doing this?" He remembered that Through was flabbergasting himself with a serious face at that time, and smiled helplessly in his heart.

"What's the matter? May you dig treasures and don't allow me to resell weapons? Do you need to be so surprised?" May rolled her eyes, "Leave this thing to me. Haichao, who just went to sea to deliver the goods a few months ago, is back. I asked He took it to the black market to inquire about the sales list to see if there would be any gains. This thing is expensive, and a buyer who buys two such big coins at once will definitely be impressed."

Li Yunwei nodded: "Although I don't know if it has something to do with Through's disappearance, but I still can't let go of any possibility." Li Yunwei thought for a while, but he didn't feel right, "Speaking of which, since you have underground contacts, why did you help him?" Didn't I check the bullet when I blocked the gun?"

"It's common, okay, you can buy it anywhere, how can I check? This second time, the other party may have used -23 because of a ruthless hand. No wonder Brother T said that Zhang Yinya repeatedly told him The bullet casing is the only evidence, and it turned out that it was afraid that the discarded shadow would use its advantage to crack it and affect her head."

May put away the bullet casings and stood up: "I'm going to contact Haichao, wait for my news."

"Well, please." Li Yunwei said.

Another sleepless night.In the early morning, Li Yunwei put on his outer shirt and walked outside the mansion, watching the clouds gathering in the east gradually disperse, making room for the rising sun.

Right now Li Qiongyu has not returned from a business trip to the United States, and Through is nowhere to be found. Fortunately, May is by his side and is still reliable, otherwise the loneliness that is so thick that it cannot be resolved will eventually swallow up all the warmth.

"Dingling!" Li Yunwei turned his head to look, and the postman was rushing over on his bicycle.

He took a step back to get out of the way, and saw the postman stopped at the door of Zhiying, dropped a few letters into the mailbox, and continued to ride to the next house.

It's nothing more than another reception, an invitation letter from a chamber of commerce, or an account book submitted by a branch with the director's signature.

Li Yunwei lifted the lid of the mailbox and took out the envelope, wanting to take it back with him.

While walking, I browsed the sender roughly, but there was a letter that did not specify the source, but only marked the receiving address and the words "Received by Li Yunwei".

He took it apart and looked at it directly, and when he pulled out the inner pages, he brought out a few photos, which slowly fell to the ground.Li Yunwei only glanced at it, then stood there as if a acupuncture point had been tapped.
