Against the current Hengdao

The pier at the deep-water port on the South Island is more clustered with flowers than when they set sail more than a week ago, and the sea breeze blows the fresh air of coconut fragrance and bluebells.

The clerks of the luxury duty-free shops on both sides of the plank road are all in high spirits, watching eagerly, waiting for those local tyrants who never look at the price tags when they sweep goods to take advantage of them to come ashore.There are not many cruises on luxury routes. One time is counted as one time. If you miss this cruise, you may have to wait half a month for the next cruise.

In many shops, some customers who looked unfamiliar and dressed in nondescript clothes came in.After coming in, two groups browse at the counter, neither shopping nor asking prices, neither trying on nor leaving.

The luxury clerks are very good at face-to-face and observation. As soon as customers enter the door, they can see through the appearance of the other party's coat to see how many black cards these people have in their wallets, or how much cash is stuffed in their underwear, and how much purchasing power they have. , I will never waste my hospitality and saliva on poor dicks.Among the groups of people who came here today, there are guys with obviously bulging waists, some with unkind faces, some with crooked melons and bad dates, and finally a group of people who come here, all with small crew cuts, wearing black jackets and black jeans, Carrying a small nylon men's bag across his shoulders, he looks like a group of insurance sellers walking around the streets.

The last one who sells insurance is the poorest. They don’t even buy tropical fruit smoothies when they enter the store. Everyone brings their own mineral water to quench their thirst. The shop assistants instantly rolled their eyes.

What are the important guests on the cruise ship that need so many minions to clean up the dust?

The giant ship "Cloud" pushed away the rippling water waves in the blue harbor, approached slowly, and docked at the pier.Seagulls and unknown waterfowl sang happily around the mast of the cruise ship as if they had reunited with old friends.

The guests fell into the hustle and bustle of the last moment before leaving the ship. Some arrogantly squinted and yelled at the bodyguard and boatman to carry the luggage, some bosses shook hands and patted shoulders to make an appointment to play golf at the club next time, and some just got out of bed. Reluctantly bid farewell to Dew's little lover.

The boatman set up the sampan and waited for the guests to disembark one by one. At this time, a group of insurance sellers with cheap nylon bags on their shoulders blocked the door of the corridor, saying that they would go up to pick up people.

Of course, the cruise ship manager and the waiter will not let them board the ship, and they have to wait outside to pick them up. Who knows if you are a collective disturbance or a pyramid scheme?

On the top floor of "The Cloud", the guests were hurrying past in the corridor, and no one noticed that two stiff-faced men with baseball caps covering their faces slowly approached the door of the suite.These two people were not boat passengers, perhaps because of the chaos at the pier just now, they got on board sporadically, and went straight to the VIP suite on the top floor, with a very clear goal.

The man in the baseball cap confirmed the room number again, and slowly reached out to touch the door. A universal steel wire went in and turned the door lock as silently as possible. The slow motion was very smooth, and then he kicked the door open.

The suite was quiet, the white gauze curtains were half opened, and were blown slowly by the sea breeze.

The wheelchair was parked in the middle of the spacious living room, and it rotated the last half of an arc according to inertia, and stopped steadily like a teaser, as if laughing at the stupid miscalculation of the visitor.

"Fuck, ran away?"

"Go upstairs and look for it."

The man in the baseball cap had just stepped onto the stairs when a miniature black square box placed outside the stairs emitted a beam of red light and made a "beep" sound as if someone was whispering.

"Run, run!!!..."

Those two guys ran out again as if their butts were on fire, and rolled out of the room with a forward somersault in a very exaggerated posture...

The sea breeze continued to blow the white curtains, and nothing exploded.

There is no bomb in this house.

It was an infrared detection device, and it was a very simple portable version, similar to a child's toy.

The waiter passed the panicked news from downstairs through the walkie-talkie: "What? A major inspection?...Are the police on board?"

In the end, the cruise manager did not stop the insurance agent from boarding the ship, because just 2 minutes later, the person leading the group seriously showed him his police officer ID and searched him in plain clothes on the grounds that he had received a report that someone on the "Cloud" had taken drugs and engage in pornographic activities.

The atmosphere and painting style changed in a blink of an eye on the cruise ship. Many guests were inexplicable and didn’t know what to say. There were also a few people who were already guilty and frightened to turn over the suitcases, hide things, rush into the toilet... and some who originally wanted to do something while disembarking , and silently put away their hard handles and hands...

The manager of the cruise ship was sweating profusely, thinking in his mind that the South Island is so high that the emperor is far away, and there are no Chaoyang crowds haunting it. How could he be reported at such an unsuspecting juncture, and the timing was so precise...

At the corner of the staff passageway in the bilge of the cruise ship, three figures moved quickly.

All three of them were wearing the ordinary uniforms of junior boatmen, with spots of pickled engine oil on the skirts.

They retreated very smoothly.Ling He said with a smile: "Mr. Yan is really good at crawling around such cats' nests and dog holes. He can even open a road that no one else can walk."

Yan Xiaodao replied: "Mr. Ling thinks that the dog hole is not easy to climb, so I will take you upstairs, and take your sedan chair to walk your broad road?"

Ling He snorted: "Mr. Yan, don't want to get rid of the burden."

It was quite interesting for Yang Xifeng to listen to the two sang and chorused, and bickered with each other "Mr."

There is nothing wrong with climbing the narrow road dog hole, the trouble is that Ling He can't walk by himself.Yan Xiaodao walked in front, and Yang Xifeng carried Young Master Ling on his back with great difficulty.Ling He rolled his eyes: "Brother, please bend over again."

Yang Xifeng turned his face to look at him: "What's the matter, your shoe toes are worn down again?"

Ling He snorted, "Brother, my knees are almost worn out."

Yan Xiaodao couldn't hold back a burst of deep laughter from his chest, the laughter was very manly and contagious.Yang Xifeng pondered for a few seconds before he realized that the one surnamed Ling just turned a corner and laughed at him for being too thin, bastard!

After Yan Xiaodao laughed, he turned his head and stroked Yang Xiaodi's hair soothingly, and then took the heavy and burly Young Master Ling.

The two looked at each other face to face.In Yan Xiaodao's eyes, there was a tolerant and magnanimous smile unique to this person, which made Ling He inexplicably miss this pair of eyebrows and the temperature between his lips and teeth.Since he was a boy, few people have been able to tolerate his perverseness, so that when Ling He held this person's shoulders, there was always a kind of comfort and joy of "finally being hugged by someone" and "fulfilling his wish", but he was puzzled This unwarranted sense of closeness, security and joy... Where does it come from?

Yan Xiaodao is not sticky or showing joy: "Don't wear your precious toes or delicate knees, it's better to carry it backwards!"

As he spoke, he lifted Ling He up and threw it on his shoulder, still like the last time he walked out of the casino, he put Ling He's head and feet on his left shoulder.Only in this way can Linghe not be dragged on the ground like a sack of potatoes.

Yan Xiaodao mocked and asked: "How did you eat when you were a child? The nutrition is so good, I can't fucking carry you."

When Ling He rushed down, his voice was buzzing: "I can hear your bones and joints creaking and shaking. Mr. Yan, have you been calcium deficient since childhood?"

Yan Xiaodao's toned inverted triangle upper body is reflected in Ling He's pupils, it is indeed a good body with wide shoulders and narrow waist.Ling He reckoned that the blood in his whole body must be backflowing to the point that his brain was congested. Standing upside down and dizzy caused the evil taste to be different from usual. He even stared at Yan Xiaodao's waist and hips for a long time. Yes, his eyes, he really doesn't have such a taste for others...

When Ling He was dizzy, he suddenly said: "Be careful with your right arm, don't stretch it too hard, stretch it again."

He grabbed Yan Xiaodao's waistband last time, but this time he didn't reach out to grab anywhere, and there was a string in his mind that silently flicked away the fingers that couldn't help climbing up.He feels that Xiaodao is obviously taboo to get close to people and the hidden blade is touched, and he feels that grabbing anything is impolite and disrespectful to Xiaodao.

He finally left the "Cloud", which was full of traps and murderous intentions, thanks to Yan Xiaodao.After that, it should be another place full of dangers and hidden murderous intentions!

……

The entertainment venues and guest rooms of the cruise ship were raided in plain clothes, and the plainclothes seized the bag very accurately, as if they knew which guest room was harboring methamphetamine, which massage room had prostitution transactions, and quickly seized a few without pain. Famous young horses and peripheral girls, let go of those who have more prominent names.

Those identities like Liang Youhui, Jian Mingjue, and You Haodong had nothing to do, but they were all forced to stay on the boat for an extra two hours, waiting for plainclothes interrogation in their rooms.

This was supposed to be a makeshift raid.The local police simply don't want to do this kind of offending job.Like the "Clear Water Cloud", which is well-known in the circle, the public security also knows its existence, but whether to arrest it is a matter of university.Only when the wolves are fattened can they squeeze out oil and water, but if they are too fat, they are afraid that they will grow into tigers and become a disaster.If you want to completely remove it, you must follow the orders from above.

The local area is cooperating with the Jinmen Municipal Bureau to arrange the progress of another case. Bao Zhengwei took the opportunity to knock on his colleagues, and he must ask this side to go to the "Cloud" to clean up pornography and drugs. All guests are safe, as long as kidnapping, murder, fights and bloodshed do not occur.

The reason Bao Zhengwei privately provided to the local police was: "We have a very important person on this ship, and I want to ensure his safety."

The unidentified people who had gathered on the pier with unkind faces and distorted dates saw that the men in black with nylon bags had taken control of the whole ship, and quickly dispersed in a timely manner.

Therefore, when the plainclothes boarded the ship and finally left the "Cloud" in pieces, everyone on board felt that they had been tricked!

Yan Xiaodao, carrying Ling He on his shoulders, did not go through the VIP passage, but walked through the side door used by the waiters and boatmen to get on and off the boat.This is what it means that cats have catwalks, dogs have dog holes, and a ship has to separate all kinds of people into different ranks. Strict class order can't go wrong, for fear of damaging the aristocratic style of this business.

Yan Xiaodao did not hesitate to do this, drilled a dog hole, and drove away along the ordinary tourist lane from the wharf to the city.

They paced around the airport lobby, completely at ease, and even had the time to visit the local special tourist souvenir shop. At this time, those people on the "Cloud" hadn't disembarked yet.

Ever since Yan Xiaodao got off the boat, all kinds of phone calls have come in looking for him. It seems that Mr. Yan is very popular, as if everyone misses him.

Liang Youhui reminded him with sadness and resentment that "the debt of favor should be paid with flesh", and Yan Xiaodao agreed with a smile.

On the phone, Jian Mingjue asked him to go to the Baiyue Atrium Hotel as a "companion" for entertainment someday. Yan Xiaodao became sensitive when he heard the location, and wondered whether he should solemnly recommend Young Master Liang to Jian Mingjue, and ask them to go to Baiyue Atrium Hotel as a companion?I also felt that this was obviously harming the landlord's stupid son, so I gave up.

Yan Xiaodao had already used his mobile phone to transfer money directly to Jian Mingjue for a small fee, which was regarded as the "intermediary fee" he paid to Jian's second child for "whoring" Zhenyou. The courtesy fee that must be paid for the market inside the circle.

In addition, some of his younger brothers called to greet him and set a time to pick him up at Linwan Airport.Yan Xiaodao didn't forget to laugh and curse: "Did you feed Master Xiong and Sanniang three meals a day and snacks? My two babies lost weight from starvation. I told you not to eat meat for a month!"

The little brothers are laughing and laughing on the phone, hello hello, that couple of dogs and men are drinking and singing every night on your double bed, and they have done many good things. Come back and treat those two shameless people. When I came back, a litter of puppies had hatched!

Yan Xiaodao pushed Ling He into the handicapped compartment of the men's toilet, then leaned against a corner to make a phone call.

With something in his mind, he deliberately procrastinated not to make the most necessary call, but decided to call Chief Bao first, because he owed the Chief a favor after all.

"Uncle Bao, thank you. I'm safe. I'm at the airport. Let your people withdraw." Yan Xiaodao said politely.

"Well, I've already withdrawn. I'm sorry that it's nothing serious, as long as you're safe." Bao Zhengwei said in a calm voice without losing his kindness and concern.Being in an important position has a good measure of the people below, making people feel that the boss is kind and righteous, but you would never dare to mess with him in normal times.

Yan Xiaodao was about to hang up after a few polite words, when Bao Zhengwei changed the subject: "Don't rush away, I happen to have something to do with you."

Yan Xiaodao pretended to be relaxed and asked: "What can you do with me all the time?"

"What do you think?" Bao Zhengwei snorted, "I'm just doing you a favor? I have a tricky case in my hand, and I need to collect information from multiple sources to find a breakthrough. I can't tell you about the nonsense due to the principle of confidentiality. But I need you to come and help me see."

When Yan Xiaodao heard "I'm doing you a favor for nothing", he couldn't help complaining that Director Bao is still the same as before, and the police officers are fucking smart and smart, and they really don't help in vain.He was afraid that the official would send him a mission, or ask him to ask about the case to force a confession.

"I understand, Xiaodao, it won't make it difficult for you. It's an old case more than ten years ago, and it didn't happen recently, so you don't need to have psychological pressure. The reason why I let you see it is because the deceased died in a strange way." The knife wound." Bao Zhengwei said seriously.

"...Okay, I'll contact you when I get back." Yan Xiaodao dared not refuse in front of Yamen Hades.

……

Under the pressure of many worries, Yan Xiaodao finally dialed this call to his godfather Qi Baoshan, and could no longer hide.

The ending he expected was that Qi Baoshan asked him to take Linghe to another city some distance away from their base camp, away from possible attention, in a resort in the wilderness, or in an unfinished villa area , Qi Baoshan met Ling He in person, and then started to "deal with" this person.He would cut open the loess for Ling Heyang, and then take the road home, pretending that nothing happened, pretending that he never knew this person.

Such a simulated scene has been lingering in his mind for several days, and even today he is still able to smile at Ling He and remain calm, but a cold desolation, a lonely void slowly fills his heart.This feeling seems to be that when he faces a certain life track that he has been accustomed to for a long time, he suddenly feels strange and uncomfortable on this day, and suddenly feels rebellious and alienated, just because of this person in front of him... because of Ling He ?

Can you treat someone like Ling He as if you don't know him before?

However, the progress of the phone call was completely beyond his expectations.

There was a noisy background on the phone, and it was one of Qi Baoshan's bodyguards who answered the phone: "Master Dao, we are escorting the boss at the airport."

"Airport?" Yan Xiaodao didn't understand, he completely thought that Qi Baoshan should be waiting for them at home, "Which airport?"

The bodyguard seemed to be hesitant: "The boss said that he needs to... leave for a while..."

At this moment, Qi Baoshan picked up the phone, and the voice on the phone was panting like panting, and the sound of footsteps coming up from all around: "Xiaodao, I will leave the country soon, and I may go out and stay for ten and a half months before coming back. Don't worry about me." , Help me watch the house."

Yan Xiaodao subconsciously agreed, but he was full of doubts. In his impression, Qi Baoshan was a calm and cautious person, and he rarely did things in such a hurry and careless.This is obviously not an outbound trip or business trip planned within the company or among family members. Qi Baoshan's posture seems to be "fleeing" in a hurry!

Yan Xiaodao: "Where are you going to end up? What else do you need me to do?"

Qi Baoshan: "Go to the special zone first and then talk. It's nothing to do with you, you can stay at home at ease! I have explained to the bottom, you have full authority to deal with any matters about the company and the port, don't ask me.

"Also, Pei Yi will come with me."

Qi Baoshan added another sentence.

"Okay, I understand." Yan Xiaodao replied calmly and quickly, his heart was overwhelmed.

He did understand that Qi Baoshan should be at the "Hong Kong and Macau boarding gate" of a certain airport at this time, and his destination should be the Jinggang Special Economic Zone. Go to Europe and America.

Yan Xiaodao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Should he be upset that Qi Baoshan ran out of the country with the surname Pei without saying hello, or should he be grateful for this and finally breathe a sigh of relief...

Out of secret pity and ulterior selfishness, he didn't even ask at this critical moment: What should Ling He do?

If he didn't ask, and Qi Ye forgot to say it, then it wouldn't be counted as his disobedience to his godfather's will.

As soon as he turned his head, Yang Xifeng was pushing Ling He around the souvenir shop at the airport.There are temporary wheelchairs provided for passengers at the airport, and they can be used after paying a small amount of money. Ling He is sitting on the wheelchair with a leisurely look, holding a bunch of carefully selected colorful packaged food on his knees, and going to the cashier to direct Yang Xifeng checked out.

Yan Xiaodao waited for Linghe to settle the bill and turned around, trying his best to be as calm as possible: "Mr. Qi went to a distant place to do some errands, and he will be back in a few days. I will take you back to Linwan first, and give you a place to live."

Ling He seemed not surprised at all, and smiled: "Where do you put me, Mr. Yan?"

Yan Xiaodao said: "Go back to my house first, the house is big enough."

Ling He's smile deepened, without the slightest hesitation: "Success, thank you Mr. Yan for taking care of me, then I'll come and disturb you."

"No wonder the child can grow up!" Yan Xiaodao got through the business, and his body and mind suddenly relaxed without fear and worry. Every pore in his body was very relaxed, and he couldn't help laughing, "The 8-ounce steak just finished eating. Didn’t digest it? How many snacks did you buy? Continue to eat on the plane?”

Ling He moved the corners of his lips disdainfully, and opened the shopping bag to show him: "Dog snacks, I didn't give them to you, Mr. Yan."

Yan Xiaodao: "..."

Yan Xiaodao is often secretly surprised by Ling He—he seems to say that the crisis is over and go home together after this person has finished shopping?

Ling He had a smile in his eyes, but he was also hiding his wit, everything was within his grasp: "Didn't it mean to stay at your house for a few days? You must bring some gifts for your baby to buy, otherwise, I'm afraid they won't let you I'm going into the house."

Yan Xiaodao bowed and held down the armrest of the wheelchair with both hands, at this moment he was able to calmly look directly at the beautiful face in front of him.He described Ling He's eyes playfully: "Mr. Ling, why don't you guess again, what kind of dog do I have?"

After he finished speaking, he quickly stared at Yang Xifeng.Yang Xifeng was so wronged that he quickly waved his hands: "Boss, don't look at me, I really didn't say anything!"

Ling He laughed at himself: "How do I know what kind of dog Mr. Yan has? I just met you, and I have never been to your house."

Yan Xiaodao: "Guess, let me listen."

Ling He said: "Demu."

Yan Xiaodao shook his head.

Ling He quickly gave a second answer: "Alaska."

Yan Xiaodao couldn't shake his head anymore.

Ling He smiled innocently and happily like a big boy, and said frankly: "Mr. Yan, you don't have to be on guard against me. I don't know how to read people's hearts. I just deduce according to common sense that a person like you will never raise two corgis. Pomeranian, Yorkshire, Chihuahua!"

Yan Xiaodao's bowed posture made the two people's faces very close, and they could clearly see the direction of each eyelash, the faint fire in the eyes, and the unconcealable smile on the lips.

The big boy occasionally bursts out with a pure, frank and unscheming smile, and that moment is really touching.

Volume Two
