"Looks like you? Hey, I said Chu Yan, could you be..."

Halfway through Zheng Shuo's words, the mobile phone on the table rang again untimely, but he was startled as if someone poked his spine.Chu Yan raised her eyebrows, but didn't pay much attention to the sudden interruption, and picked up the chopsticks to continue picking up the cold sun eggs.

"Don't eat it when it's cold, I'll fry another one for you later." Zheng Shuo answered the phone casually, and it was Chen Qi who called: "Boss, I found it, and this Li Wei is not easy."

"Wait." Zheng Shuo hurriedly interrupted him before he could continue, then gestured to Chu Yan, and went to the balcony to meet him.

As soon as he left the living room, Chu Yan took out his mobile phone from his pocket, looked at the incoming calls and messages on it, and suddenly thumped the center of his brow weakly.He was so dazed by the series of events just now, he didn't think of turning off the mute, and he forgot to contact Li Wei.

He quietly glanced in the direction of the balcony, and quickly called back Li Wei's number: "Sorry, I forgot to turn on the ringer just now."

"You frightened me to death and made me look for you everywhere. Are you okay? Where are you now?" Li Wei complained from over there, and Chu Yan glanced at the balcony again vaguely: "Did you ask?" ?”

"I asked, but he didn't know, but he gave me a name, and said that he would go to this person if he wanted to ask about Lin Yihai." Li Wei said while holding the steering wheel with one hand, and holding the phone while driving.

"Who?" Chu Yan said in a deep voice.

Li Wei recalled: "Lin Qisheng, it seems to be called this, I have already asked someone to check."

"No need." After hearing this name, Chu Yan's face was like a faded canvas, mottled blue and white.He grabbed the phone subconsciously, but couldn't control the trembling of his shoulders.Li Wei felt that his tone was wrong, so he asked what was wrong.Chu Yan was silent for a while, and finally seemed to be exhausted: "Lin Qisheng is my uncle. He was also involved in my father's case back then. My father was directly sentenced to death, and he was sentenced to seven years."

"Then have you contacted him?" Li Wei asked quickly.

Chu Yan stared at the porcelain bowl in front of him. He had already eaten the dumplings in the bowl, and the remaining white soup was cold. This scene was exactly the same as the scene of daily life he was familiar with many years ago.He pinched his brows wearily, and his voice became weaker and weaker: "No, he hates me very much. I... don't talk about it back then. It's inconvenient for me now. We'll talk about it tomorrow when we meet."

Although Chu Yan was depressed, he still did not relax his attention.Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Zheng Shuo turned around, quickly hung up the phone quietly, picked up the chopsticks and continued eating eggs.

"Didn't I tell you not to eat cold food?" Zheng Shuo saw him holding a chopstick and was about to put it in his mouth as soon as he came over, so he quickly pressed his hand: "Seeing how flattering you are, I'll fry another chopstick for you." Kind, wait."

Zheng Shuo seemed to be in a good mood, so he went directly to the refrigerator to fetch two more eggs and went back to the kitchen to toss.Chu Yan looked at Zheng Shuo's back, and he took a look at the name of the caller on the phone just now - Chen Qi.If he remembered correctly, this Chen Qi should be Zheng Shuo's deputy.So what was the call to report?

Chu Yan leaned on the back of the chair and thought carefully. Since Zheng Shuo appeared in the parking lot, it means that he must have known what happened tonight, but he probably didn't know what actually happened. After all, a place like Yechen is not ordinary. In the night show, it is impossible to just show a police officer's card and sneak in for investigation.

He turned on the phone again and looked at the call records. The time when Zheng Shuo made the first call was not long after he had just entered.If the police had been watching the whole process, Li Wei might have been exposed as well.

He didn't think about hiding the information of the people around him. After all, he was a victim on the surface, but in Zheng Shuo's eyes, he was an out-and-out "shit-stirring stick" who had been ignoring the edge and causing some troubles.And if the police want to intervene, it will only be a matter of time before they are discovered no matter how well hidden they are.

He can now be sure that Zheng Shuo didn't tell anyone about him, including the criminal investigation captain Lin Xun.Otherwise, as Zheng Shuo said, the system is different. Even if the case is jointly handled, it is impossible for Lin Xun to ignore the few murders in his hands for the case of drug control.If these things he did were really known by Lin Xun, then there can't be so few "tails" behind him.

He looked back at Zheng Shuo again, Zheng Shuo was carefully turning over the eggs in the pan with a spatula.From his angle, he couldn't see the pot, but Zheng Shuo's serious back overlapped with a tall figure in his memory.

His eyes gradually turned from clear to dim, and he just lay on the back of the chair and watched, looking at the kitchen like a child stretching his neck at the dining table when he was a child.The person who was busy preparing food for him was not Zheng Shuo, but a man with broad shoulders.The man's temples were a little grayer due to the traces of time, and he was always very strict, but when he smiled at him, he had a kind face.

"What are you thinking about?" Zheng Shuo just turned around and saw Chu Yan in a daze. He picked up the dipping sauce as the final decoration.Chu Yan shook his head, his voice was muffled: "I was wondering how you, a person who can't cook, would learn to cook such a thoughtful thing?"

"Hey, it's a bit embarrassing to say. I was young and ignorant before, and I learned it to please someone." He grabbed a sprinkle of spices and sprinkled it on the thin egg yolk skin: "You're done, it seems that the sword is not old."

Chu Yan watched him bring out the plate and put it in front of her, only then realized that what he made was Lianxindan.It takes a lot of work to make this kind of egg. Two eggs have to be fried into a heart shape, with a golden circle on the side, a layer of white and tender egg white in the middle, and two tender and smooth egg yolks that are only half-ripe, with green spices on top. Powder garnish.Zheng Shuo used a medium-sized white dinner plate, with heart-shaped eggs in the middle, a small broccoli flower in the upper right corner, and three irregular lines drawn out with black pepper sauce on the bottom, which looks like a western food arrangement Way.

Zheng Shuo handed him a pair of clean chopsticks: "The forks at home have been useless for a long time, let's make do with them."

Chu Yan glanced at him, and instead of picking up the chopsticks, stood up and rolled up his sleeves: "Where's the fork? I'll wash it."

Zheng Shuo looked at him puzzled: "In the locker, isn't it the same to use chopsticks?"

"It's not the same. How can someone eat Western food with chopsticks? It's so spoiling the scenery." Chu Yan urged him to get it. Zheng Shuo muttered that this person has a lot of problems, but he still went to get it, and it didn't pass Chu Yan's hands. Wipe it clean again before handing it to the young master.

The young master seemed to be in a much better mood than before. He held up the fork and compared it for a long time, but he didn't make a move.Zheng Shuo sat across from him with his arms folded. After watching for a while, he couldn't help it: "Are you going to eat or not? If you don't eat, it will be cold again."

"What's the rush, I don't know which one to eat first." Chu Yan retorted solemnly, with two eyebrows still knit together, looking really troubled.Zheng Shuo was stunned for a moment, seeing his stubborn expression like a child, suddenly lowered his head and laughed.

"Laughing ass." Chu Yan was in a good mood not to care about him, Zheng Shuo quickly nodded and said yes: "Yes, yes, yes, you say it's a fart, it's a fart."

Zheng Shuo was obviously laughing at him. He glared at him, and finally cut a line in the middle of the heart-and-heart egg with a fork, splitting the egg in two: "I can't eat that much, so I'll give you the other half."

Zheng Shuo touched his nose, and the smile on his lips never faded: "You will be silly if you eat too many eggs. I have already eaten them just now, so you should eat them."

"What do you mean, you? Call me stupid in disguise, right?" Chu Yan put down the fork and stared at him pretending to be annoyed.Zheng Shuo innocently turned his eyes to one side, shrugged his shoulders and made a gesture of "I didn't say anything".

"Do you know that I got a scholarship every year when I was studying!" Chu Yan said dissatisfied.He graduated from the Law School of the University of London. Although the Chu family is not short of money, his grades meet the requirements for scholarships, and he cannot be rejected every year.

Zheng Shuo had checked his resume a long time ago, so he naturally knew that he was a rich second generation with excellent grades.It's just that Chu Yan's usual words and deeds are no different from that of a playboy, and people can't think of Xueba at all.

"Yes, yes, master Xueba, eat quickly, it's really getting cold. This is a difficult technique, I've only done it twice, don't waste my efforts." Zheng Shuo urged, pointing at the plate.

Just as Chu Yan picked up the fork, he paused, raised his eyelids and looked at him: "Twice? Who was it for the first time?"

"Who else." Zheng Shuo smiled wryly.He really didn't want to make some things too clear, but he also felt strange why he didn't feel embarrassed to admit everything related to Lin Xun in front of Chu Yan, and even felt a long-lost relaxation.

He remembered the time when Lin Yin found out, at that time he was extremely embarrassed, but he still wanted to save face.Thinking about it now, he finds it miraculous how he survived that time.

"Are you really going to give up?" Chu Yan lowered his head and gently picked up the broccoli with a fork.The slightly longer bangs were already dry, and a few strands slipped down because of his movements, just blocking Zheng Shuo's view of him.

"Chu Yan, have you ever loved anyone? Other than relatives." Zheng Shuo asked without answering.Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, but still didn't look up, his eyes flickered while staring at the plate: "I don't know what kind of love is."

Zheng Shuo: "Then do you think Chu Guanghe loves you?"

Chu Yan took a breath, and finally raised his head to look at him, but there was obvious resistance in his black and white eyes: "I should have told you that he unilaterally thinks that I am his property."

"So you sell yourself logically and use his liking for you to achieve your goals." Zheng Shuo still maintained the movement of leaning on the back of the chair with his arms folded, but the smile on his face evaporated.

Chu Yan's expression was already a little angry. He poked the fork on the egg yolk, and a large piece of soft egg liquid gushed out of the punctured surface. The tempting fragrance came to his nostrils, but it did not penetrate into his heart.

"what do you want to say in the end?!"

Zheng Shuo: "Do you only have hatred in your heart?"

Chu Yan was stunned, and let go of the fork, and the stainless steel fork hit the plate, making a crisp sound.Like the morning bell striking in the mountains, it wakes people up from their dreams.

Zheng Shuo knew that this sentence was very important to him, but he still refused to let him go: "How long have I known you, how many times have you hurt yourself? Do you not understand what it means to live well, or do you mean that you are not There is no way not to do these things that hurt yourself and others? Do you like self-torture?"

"Finish?" Chu Yan didn't have Zheng Shuo's imagined reaction of slapping the table, but suddenly calmed down from the anger just now.He took out a tissue to wipe his hands, and threw it on the plate without hesitation after wiping.

That mouthful of Lianxindan that he hadn't had time to eat was wasted like that, but there was no regret or pity in his eyes at all.He stood up, took out his wallet from his pocket, and took out a few hundred-dollar bills and put them on the table, smiling like a guest giving a tip: "Thank you for your hospitality tonight."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, but when he got to the entrance to put on his shoes, someone grabbed him from behind, and Zheng Shuo pressed his shoulders and pushed him against the wall.

"Officer Zheng, what are you doing?" Chu Yan didn't struggle, but looked at him with a sneer, his gaze was cold, exuding a repulsive aura, very similar to the one they had when they first met atmosphere.

"What happened tonight? Li Wei belongs to you. It is impossible for Wang Jingzhou to give you medicine in front of outsiders. Did you take it on purpose?"
