Chapter 23

Han Ziye finally agreed to cooperate with Hong Bang.He went to the cabinet and talked with the Minister of Defense for a long time. The military secretly dispatched a ranger. As soon as Hun Baiqing entered the mountain, he was ambushed. The mercenaries he invited were directly disarmed and held there.Seeing that the situation was not good, he led his men to retreat, but Hong Lei was waiting behind him, blocking him.

Hun Baiqing knew that he had been tricked and was caught by someone else.He knew that he couldn't fall into Hong Lei's hands, otherwise he would have no choice but to live or die. Under the cover of a few younger brothers, he rushed left and right, was chased and beaten, and almost ran away naked.

Hong Lei took back his father's territory without bloodshed. Although he let his enemy run away, he knew that his strength was exhausted, and most of the people left in his hands had betrayed.

The cabinet has been staring at that mercenary army for a while. They have a lot of weapons in their hands, and they usually live in a corner.This time, I took this opportunity to get rid of my confidant's troubles, and the underworld was freed from two tigers fighting each other. Although the Hong Gang will dominate in the future, it is much easier to look at one than to look at two.

The crisis was easily resolved overnight.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Qingchen was released from the police station on the grounds of insufficient evidence.

Everyone was busy with the aftermath, but no one came to pick him up.He walked out of the gate of the police station. After a few rains, the temperature rose layer by layer. Spring was almost over, the sun gradually became stronger, and the wind was very warm.

He was as thin as a pole, and the shadow cast on the ground seemed to be erratic with the hem of his clothes blown by the wind.

He hailed a taxi and returned to the North Palace. Uncle Zhong and his workers were tending the small vegetable field in the backyard.There was no one in front of him, so he walked through the hallway into the living room.The house is neat and clean, with bright sunlight coming in through the floor-to-ceiling balcony windows, and a large glass bottle of wild flowers from the back mountain is placed on the table in the living room.This home has not changed without him, it seems to be warmer.Perhaps the company is also like this, and the young master is even more like this.

In fact, he has been relatively calm in the police station these days. I don't know why, maybe because he is the only one there, and there is no good laughter from other people.He's been coming to this place since he was 15, and it's the place he used to call home, but now he suddenly realizes that it's not his home.

He is still the man without a home.

He still only has a self that he hates.Regardless of laughter and pain, or just yourself.

He walked upstairs slowly, and spent a long time washing himself inside and out. His hair soaked in water was a bit long, covering his eyebrows and eyes. After changing his pajamas, he got into his quilt, sinking heavily He fell asleep without a single dream.

Han Ziye didn't see anyone when he came back from get off work, and Aunt Fu cooked dinner again, and he didn't see anyone come down to eat early in the morning.After listening to his question, Uncle Zhong realized that he should be back in the early afternoon, and went to push the door of the early morning room, and it was indeed locked.Called a few times but no one answered.

Han Ziye told him to leave it alone, he was not a child, he would not die of starvation after one or two meals.

Woke up early in the morning as usual the next day, put on a black shirt, went downstairs to prepare breakfast for the young master and possibly the future young wife, then got into the car and went to work in the company.

Summer is here, but the morning is like hibernation.His whole body calmed down, no matter his expression or mood, he was even more reticent, and he didn't say a word all day.He got rid of the habit of wearing white, and wore a black shirt and black trousers more often, making him look thinner and whiter. From the back, his waist was so thin that it seemed to be cut off at a pinch. He often hung his head and wore a long The bangs covered the eyebrows and eyes, only a pointed jaw could be seen.

He took over his previous job from Fang Ya, and every job and order was completed perfectly, as precise as a machine that does not need to be charged, but the sense of existence has become lower. Han Zixi and Shao Jiejie feel that he is It was as if it had disappeared, and I couldn't see it in the company, let alone Beigong.He no longer participated in the daily video conference. Jiejie knew that he didn't like meeting them at home, and wanted to invite him out for tea and movies, but he only said that there was still work to do.

Han Ziye and Zhou Xiaoyu probably passed the initial sweet period of their relationship. The two of them are not as sticky together as they were at the beginning. She still lives in Beigong often, and stays in the big study at night. Han Ziye Working on one side, she painted an oil painting on the other side, which was exactly the scenery of the back mountain.

Recently, the new model is undergoing final testing and painting in the final assembly plant, and is ready to be shipped to Mount Ararat for shooting.Ziye often runs to the assembly plant recently, and if he can't pick up Zhou Xiaoyu from get out of class in time, he sends Qingchen there.

In the early morning, I drove the car and waited in the parking lot of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts.Vigorous men and women are carrying painting folders, carrying roll-shaped paintings, or holding plaster figures, or carrying painting boxes, walking in twos and threes on the campus in the early summer evening.Everyone is smiling.On the lawn not far away, someone set up an easel to sketch, and someone lay down on it, chatting and eating.The evening sun gilded everything with a unique laziness, and the unique bustle and youthful atmosphere of the campus surrounded him.

Early in the morning, I thought that my heart, which had been numb from the pain, would no longer feel it, but I didn't expect that the sharpness still cut through my chest.

He had never participated in such happiness in his life.never.He remembered that when he was in school, he was alone every day, always locked in a dark studio or a quiet bedroom, and there was always only one shadow by his side to accompany him.

Zhou Xiaoyu opened the trunk, threw all the things in it, and got into the car:

"Is he going to work overtime again?"

In the early morning, she replied lightly: "Yes." Started the car and drove out of the school.

Zhou Xiaoyu seemed to have gotten used to his silence. He just opened the car window to look at the scenery in a relaxed manner, and then turned on the radio, which was broadcasting entertainment gossip about the famous musician Ms. Zhou Jiang Dayun's concert at the Donghuang Grand Theater.Daughter Zhou Xiaoyu, the head of the new Jade Girl, and her prospective son-in-law, the heir of the Han family consortium, attended the premiere to support her mother.

After the performance, the family of four went to the celebration banquet and got along very affectionately. The reporter photographed Mr. Han and Zhou Xiaoyu kissing intimately. It is estimated that good things are coming...

In the early morning, his face was expressionless, and the DJ's voice seemed to be blocked by his ears, and he did not enter his mind.Zhou Xiaoyu rested his right elbow on the window, biting the nail of his right index finger with his teeth, staring thoughtfully at the snow-white side face in the early morning, with a straight nose and long eyelashes, curled upwards, The expression of staring intently ahead reminded him of a person.

She looked at it for a while, then suddenly asked, "Do you know a man named Chen Qing?"

The car shook violently, Zhou Xiaoyu was startled, and in the early morning, he quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, held the steering wheel tightly,

"Sorry, I... haven't heard of this... this name."

Zhou Xiaoyu sighed: "Yes, this person is a painter. You must have never heard of it. When I was young, I was always the second child in various competitions. It was because of him. I have seen his photos in newspapers. , I have a profile face that looks very similar to yours." She looked disinterested in Qingchen, turned her head to look out of the window, and said to herself, "I just don't know why, he disappeared after a while, never Haven't seen him in the game."

In the early morning, the voice was very low, almost drowned in the roar of the engine: "...Maybe he is at the end of his talents, and he doesn't plan to draw anymore in this life..."

The two were immersed in their own thoughts, and did not realize that there was a car behind them. When they realized something was wrong in the morning, the all-black SUV had already overtaken them from the side and forced them to stop on the tree-lined road that turned up the mountain. , He became alert and told Zhou Xiaoyu: "Call the young master, no matter what happens, don't get out of the car!"

He took out the gun by himself, locked the door immediately after getting out of the car, and hid the key in the inner pocket of his shirt.

Zhou Xiaoyu answered the phone, but there was no one answering it. She was about to replay it. When she looked up and saw Qingchen collapsed holding her neck, she screamed in fright. The car door was opened, and several men covered her mouth and dragged her away. To the back seat of the opponent's car.

In the early morning, he was blown with anesthesia injections and woke up in the light shaking of the car. He heard Zhou Xiaoyu sobbing softly in his ears. His hands and feet were still numb and his head was dizzy, but his mind was forced by himself. wake up.He carefully identified the sounds around him. There was the sound of waves, and he was still driving along the coastal road, but there was no sound of oncoming vehicles passing by, indicating that he had already driven a long way.The car body shakes greatly from time to time, indicating that it is walking on the winding mountain road.He roughly understood the direction, and calculated how to get out.

They were blindfolded and gagged and tied back to back in a room.In the early morning, he heard the echo of the footsteps of the other party's people walking out, and knew that it was a very large and empty house. He guessed that it should be in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.

Hearing that everyone was going out, he moved his body and found that he was tied tightly. He shook his head around, trying to find a place to wipe the blindfold off his eyes, but there was no strong point around him.

After a while, with a bang, the door was opened. Someone took off his blindfold, tore off the tape on his mouth, and pressed his forehead against a cold gun barrel. His head was still throbbing and hurting. He closed his eyes to get used to it, and quickly turned his head to see Zhou Xiaoyu behind him, safe and sound, just crying, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

On the opposite side was a man with scabbed wounds on his arms and forehead. He held a DV in his hand and took a video of the two of them. He pushed the gun barrel against his forehead, and a note was delivered to his eyes. :"read!"

Early in the morning, I looked up at the gun. It was my own silver gun. I also knew that everything on my body was searched, so I had to say:

"1000 million U.S. dollars, cash, fifty gold bars, in container No. 55 at the No. [-] cargo terminal of the departure terminal before noon tomorrow... If there is too much movement, just tear up the ticket..."

After reading it early in the morning, I hurriedly looked back at the person holding the note, and was hit on the head by the butt of a gun: "Don't look around!"

Then the blindfolds were put back on, and several people walked out.

In the early morning, I tentatively said: "I want to go to the bathroom!"

There was no response, he made sure there was no one around, and said softly, "Miss Zhou, can you hear me?"

Zhou Xiaoyu's mouth was sealed, and she let out a crying "hmmmm" sound.

In the morning, I took a few deep breaths and endured the severe headaches, and said to her:

"Don't be afraid, I will definitely find a way to let you escape, trust me."

Zhou Xiaoyu's crying gradually became louder, and she hurriedly stopped her in the early morning:

"Don't cry, listen to me, do you have any metal products on you?"

"Ah."
