Forced to follow the love line by the villain boss

Unwilling to give up, Meng Xing searched around for a while. He searched every corner of the alleyway that didn't attract attention, but found nothing.

When he returned to the press conference site, the press conference was over, and Wen Rulan was looking around anxiously, as if looking for him.

Meng Xing beckoned to Wen Rulan. After Wen Rulan saw him, the anxiety on his face finally receded. He walked up to Meng Xing and asked, "Where have you been?"

Meng Xing didn't answer, but instead asked Wen Rulan for something: "Do you have the video of this press conference?"

Wen Rulan was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why Meng Xing wanted to record the video all of a sudden, but seeing that Meng Xing seemed to be in a hurry, he replied, "I'll ask someone to bring the video."

The location of the press conference was the lobby on the first floor of the research institute where Wen Rulan worked. Naturally, this kind of confidential place was monitored. As an important professor here, it was only a matter of one sentence to find someone to transfer the monitoring.

Wen Rulan's work was very efficient, and 10 minutes later, the entire video of the press conference was placed in front of Meng Xing.

Along with it, there was also a laptop that could play videos, which was placed in front of Meng Xing.Meng Xing inserted the memory card that stored the video into the slot of the computer, moved the mouse, and opened the video recording.

The angle of this surveillance video is very good, overlooking the whole situation, and the corner that Meng Xing pays special attention to is not left behind.Meng Xing searched for the date and time he wanted in the surveillance videos.

Wen Rulan watched his movements from the side, watched Meng Xing pull the time bar to the middle of the press conference, and suddenly pressed pause.

At first, Wen Rulan didn't understand why Meng Xing paused here, but soon after Meng Xing zoomed in on the distant camera and zoomed in on someone, he finally understood.

"Wujin...?" Wen Rulan hesitated.

On the video, only half of the face of this man in black was exposed, and it is logical that he couldn't see his face clearly, but this half of his face and his overall figure made him feel very similar to Wu Jin.

"You also think he looks like Wujin?" Meng Xing asked.

Wen Rulan nodded.Meng Xing looked at the frozen picture on the screen. Since Wen Rulan had the same feeling as him, it meant that it was not his illusion. He told him that he found Wujin by accident and chased after him to search for it, but found nothing.

That is to say... Wujin is indeed not dead, and he came here again... "What exactly is he trying to do?" Wen Rulan frowned.

"I don't know, but anyway, it's just a matter of kindness. Remember to be careful." Meng Xing reminded.

Wen Rulan agreed.

Then Meng Xing had nothing to say, they didn't even know where Wu Jin was, so naturally they couldn't do anything except be careful.

Meng Xing checked the time. The press conference had only been held for two hours, and it was only ten o'clock in the morning. He was a jobless vagrant and didn't know what to do, so he asked Wen Rulan, "What's next?"

"Next..." Wen Rulan was about to answer, when a colleague in a white research institute uniform ran over: "Professor Wen, how long will it take you? You need to check the commissioning work yourself, we dare not make the decision." .”

As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he could see that he was very anxious to find Wen Rulan.

"I'll be there right away." Wen Rulan replied.

Only then did the colleagues in the research institute agree to leave, and when they left, they did not forget to say: "Professor Wen, please hurry up, the top is urging the progress."

After getting Wen Rulan's reassurance, he really left.

Wen Rulan turned to Meng Xing and explained: "Although the artificial sun has basically been developed, it still needs final debugging. I must lead a team to check, so..."

Even if he didn't explain, Meng Xing could tell from the behavior of Wen Rulan's colleague that he was probably the only one with nothing to do, and Wen Rulan was actually quite busy.

"Go and do your work." Meng Xing took the initiative and said, "I'll just walk around by myself."

"I usually get off work at six o'clock in the evening, but recently...maybe I will work overtime until ninety o'clock." Wen Rulan looked at the time on the phone while talking, and his speaking speed became faster and faster: "If it's too late, you can just go back Home, I'll give you the key..."

He just wanted to get the key, but Meng Xing directly refused: "No, I'll go back together after you get off work."

Wen Rulan's fingers holding the key paused, and then obediently put the key back into his pocket. His brows and eyes, which were a little impatient because he was in a hurry, suddenly opened up, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.

"Okay." After he finished answering, he turned around and went to the elevator without stopping, swiped his employee card, and went to the top of the research institute where outsiders could not go.

The employee card is only the first identification procedure. The higher the research institute is, the higher the level of security is, and the stricter the review of identities. Even Wen Rulan can't bring in idlers, so Meng Xing can only be in the lobby on the first floor. wait.

The environment here is actually pretty good, with sufficient heating, and a sofa for entertaining guests. There is a TV playing TV programs in front, and there is a tea table for drinks and snacks on the side.There is nothing lacking in eating, drinking and having fun. It is reasonable to say that you should not wait here for a long time. Even if you live here, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

However, Meng Xing only stayed here for three hours, and he couldn't stay longer when it was just one o'clock in the afternoon.

The countdown to the end never stops, Wen Rulan is busy leading the team to debug the artificial sun while working overtime, but he is a rice bug on the sofa, which is really frustrating.

No, he can't just sit on the couch wasting time.Meng Xing made up his mind, so he didn't hesitate any longer. He stood up directly from the sofa, put on a heavy cotton coat for wind and snow, and pushed open the door of the research institute.

The moment the door was pushed open, the low-temperature air, which was different from the warm heating in the room, rushed to Meng Xing's face, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

A day has passed since the snowstorm, and the temperature has warmed up slightly, but only slightly, the temperature is still below zero, the ground is covered with thick snow, the sun's light is getting dimmer, the scorching summer, and even the mild spring, are no longer Nor will it come.

Meng Xing glanced at the sun in the sky. When he looked directly at the sunlight, he didn't feel glaring at all. Instead, the halo was very gentle, as gentle as dying.

This is probably the weakest sun he has ever seen in his life, and the record in his life is still being refreshed. Every minute and every second, the sun that is about to go out will become weaker.

Meng Xing wrapped his collar tightly, tucked his hands into his long cuffs, and stepped out of the institute again.

He wanted to look for Wujin's trace, although he might not be able to find it, but sitting and waiting, let alone waiting, he would always try to find it.

Meng Xing didn't have any destination, so he chose a direction at random. The research institute was built in a remote place, so he walked for a while before seeing the houses.

Places where people live are always lively and warm. In Meng Xing's era, aunts dancing square dances, uncles walking with birds in cages, and playing chess together could be seen in every community park.

However, under the doomsday, none of these were present, and some only had ashen faces and desperate faces.

After Qi Ruiwen's speech, people have vented hysterically, but venting can't change anything, grief is still grief, and despair is still despair.

People don't go to work because it doesn't make sense anymore, and students don't go to school anymore because it doesn't make sense anymore.

The careers, studies, and wealth that people have worked hard for half their lives will be buried in ice and snow after eight days.When the end comes, the outside of Noah's city will become a frozen snowfield, and those who are blocked outside the city will also become stiff statues in the extremely cold low temperature.

Limbs are coagulated, blood is frozen, and thinking is always stagnant at that moment.This slowly approaching and inescapable death is even crueler than Ling Chi.

After Meng Xing walked for a long time, he was also used to seeing these despairing and ashamed faces. Gradually, he even became numb as if he was used to it.

But this kind of numbness was instantly broken when he saw a face with a happy smile that was different from everyone else.

It was a little girl holding a lollipop, wrapped tightly in a big padded jacket, her short arms stretched out from the sleeves with difficulty, and finally delivered the candy to her mouth, and she smiled contentedly and happily stand up.

Although her smile is only due to ignorance and ignorance, she doesn't understand that the end is coming, and she doesn't understand the true meaning of death, but in such a desperate ice and snow, her flushed face is also eye-catching.

So Meng Xing noticed the other party at a glance. The little girl was led by an older woman, probably the girl's mother. The girl's mother was talking to a man, and while talking, she handed over the suitcase she was carrying. past.The suitcase has a special safety lock, and it seems that the things inside are of great value.

The man took it and weighed it, and then he promised with satisfaction: "Leave this to me, don't worry, I have connections."

The girl's mother hurriedly thanked her.What the hell were these two doing? Meng Xing didn't pay much attention, he just stared at the little girl in a daze.

It's not that he has any unreasonable intentions, he just thinks that such a smile is rare before the end, and he wants to look at it for a while longer.

He must have been watching for a while, and he caught the little girl's attention. While eating the candy, she quietly took two steps back, hid behind her mother, and looked at Meng Xing cautiously and vigilantly.

Meng Xing touched his nose in embarrassment. It was the first time he was mistaken for a bad guy. He looked away and continued walking.

Despair is the majority. The reason why such smiles are rare is because they are rare. At least, Meng Xing has never seen any face full of such a happy smile until the sunset.

The sunset is very early, it is only five o'clock now.Wen Rulan will get off work at six o'clock. Although it is very likely that he will work overtime, Meng Xing doesn't want Wen Rulan to be disappointed because he can't find him after get off work, so he has to go back early.

At six o'clock in the evening, Meng Xing returned to the hall on the first floor of the research institute. Wen Rulan was working overtime as expected. Meng Xing had already expected it, so he sat on the sofa and waited.

At a quarter past six, Meng Xing received a text message from Wen Rulan, telling him that he would have to work overtime until eight o'clock.

Meng Xing replied, "I'll wait for you downstairs."

Wen Rulan didn't reply. He was probably very busy, so he took time out of his busy schedule to send this text message.

And he was late in the end, Meng Xing waited from eight o'clock to nine o'clock, and then from nine o'clock to ten o'clock before he came down from upstairs.He walked in a hurry, his coat was draped on his arms indiscriminately, and he didn't even have time to put it on.

He searched around in the hall, looking a little apprehensive. He was afraid that Meng Xing would leave first because he couldn't wait.

And when he searched around and did not find Meng Xing's figure, this anxiety disappeared instead.Perhaps it was because he had already imagined the worst, so when it actually happened, he was not particularly disappointed.

However, he was still momentarily lost, so he stood at the door of the elevator without moving for a while.

The colleagues from the research institute who came out a step behind him saw that he was still standing here, so they greeted him friendly: "Professor Wen, are you still going back?"

"Let's go right away." Wen Rulan replied casually, then took out her mobile phone, and walked out while flipping through text messages.

He saw Meng Xing's "I'll wait for you downstairs", but Meng Xing didn't wait for him.He wasn't ready to be held accountable, because he was indeed the one who was too late.

Originally planned to leave work at [-] o'clock, but there was a temporary problem with the data, forcing him to stay and deal with it. He was busy for two hours and couldn't reply to the text messages. Meng Xing could be forgiven for not waiting for him.

Just a little bit disappointed...

Wen Rulan lowered his head and suppressed the expression on his face. He put on his coat and was about to leave the hall when someone suddenly patted his shoulder from behind.

He turned around in astonishment, and became even more astonished when he saw the familiar person.

"This is for you." Meng Xing held two cups of hot drinks in his hands. He handed one to Wen Rulan while talking about the hard-won of these two cups of hot drinks: "The water dispenser in the lobby is broken, so I went to the logistics office to ask the staff to help. I made it now, but after it was finished, I accidentally spilled it, so I had the cheek to ask someone to burn it again..."

He was rambling, complaining about the twists and turns of the road to fetch water, all trivial things, but Wen Rulan didn't find it boring at all, he listened patiently.

He held the paper cups containing the hot drinks in his palm, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard that Meng Xing had been stuffed in his cotton padded jacket to keep the two cups of hot drinks warm.

Meng Xing said a long list, and he didn't realize that he was too long-winded until the security guard urged at the door, "We are going to close the door, are you still going?"

Everyone else had already gone home from get off work, and they were the only two standing at the door.Meng Xing quickly ended his topic, and said to Wen Rulan, "Let's go home."

"Okay." Wen Rulan replied with a smile.
