Morbid Addiction

"Are you drunk?" Chen Yuncheng asked Ning Junyan.

Ning Junyan shook his head, he said, "I'm not drunk." Finally he let go of his hands and sat up on the bed, he got up and went around the table, and walked over to get his coat hanging by the wall.

Seeing that he was really planning to leave, Chen Yuncheng said, "You've been drinking, don't drive."

Ning Junyan paused, took out his cell phone and said, "I'm calling the driver."

Chen Yuncheng had no intention of keeping him. After all, he didn't have any spare room for Ning Junyan to live in. He just waited with Ning Junyan for more than ten minutes, and then sent Ning Junyan out when the driver arrived.

At this time, the rain was already light, and it was falling on the ground so thin that it was almost inaudible.

The young substitute driver started the car. Ning Junyan sat in the co-pilot, pushed down the window, and said to Chen Yuncheng, "I'm going on a business trip in two days."

Chen Yuncheng nodded, not understanding why he suddenly said this to himself, thinking he still had something to say.

Ning Junyan didn't say anything more.

Chen Yuncheng had no choice but to instruct the driver to drive carefully, then stepped back and stood on the side of the street to say goodbye to them, and waited until the driver drove away before turning back to his shop.

After tidying up the room, Chen Yuncheng turned off the light and lay down on the bed.It was quite late, and he drank some more wine, and the drowsiness quickly came to him, and he fell asleep quickly.

The next morning, after Chen Yuncheng had breakfast, he remembered to send a message to Long Zhanyu, sending him the name and address of the hotel where he followed the X clansman last night.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Long Zhanyu called him and said to him: "You don't need to worry about this, we can find out his address, and you just pay attention to whether he has contact with any local people."

Chen Yuncheng frowned, "Officer Long, since you have traced his address, is it difficult to continue to trace who he is in contact with?"

Long Zhanyu said: "It's not difficult, I just don't want to startle the snake yet."

Chen Yuncheng understood what Long Zhanyu meant, and the key problem was not with those two X people, but with the locals they might have come into contact with, who might be able to recognize the police in the jurisdiction, just like Chen Yuncheng, who fought against Long Zhanyu and the others back then. Talk less.

He asked Long Zhanyu: "What did these two people do?"

Long Zhanyu said: "Don't inquire about it. Anyway, as long as there is enough evidence, we will definitely arrest people. Before that, I'm afraid we will have to endure it."

Chen Yuncheng said, "Okay."

He was about to hang up the phone, but Long Zhanyu suddenly stopped him and said, "I have invited some classmates to dinner tonight, and I will come to your place in the afternoon to get two bottles of wine and a cigarette."

Chen Yuncheng replied: "Okay, officer." Then the call really ended.

It wasn't for nothing that Long Zhanyu made Chen Yuncheng an informant. He took care of Chen Yuncheng's business a lot in the past two years, and at the beginning of the year when he was in the group, he also got the wine he drank from Chen Yuncheng's shop.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Long Zhanyu drove his private car over to Chen Yuncheng to get cigarettes and alcohol.

Chen Yuncheng carried two bottles of wine, tucked a cigarette under his arm, and handed it directly to Long Zhanyu's car.

Long Zhanyu didn't get out of the car, took out his wallet from the inner pocket of his coat with a cigarette in his mouth, took out a few hundred yuan bills, and asked him, "How much?"

Chen Yuncheng said: "It's enough to give three hundred and five." After speaking, he asked Long Zhanyu: "Do you want to put it in the trunk?"

Long Zhanyu raised his hand to press the door lock, and said, "Just let the co-pilot go."

Chen Yuncheng opened the passenger door, put two bottles of wine under the seat, and threw the cigarette directly on the seat.

Then he took the money from Long Zhanyu, smiled and said, "That's right, Officer Long."

Long Zhanyu said "hmm" and asked him, "Is the business going well recently?"

Chen Yuncheng said, "It's okay."

Long Zhanyu suddenly moved closer to him, and said softly, "Guan Anlin was released from prison yesterday, do you know?"

Chen Yuncheng looked at Long Zhanyu, and after a little silence, said, "I don't know."

Long Zhanyu said: "If he comes to harass you, you can call the police. It is our duty to protect the citizens."

Chen Yuncheng's eyelashes fluttered, and he said to Long Zhanyu, "Officer Long, stop smoking."

Long Zhanyu's slender fingers still held the cigarette biting on his lips.

Chen Yuncheng smiled, and continued: "If you smoke too much, you age quickly, it's a pity that you have such a face."

Long Zhanyu snorted coldly, turned his face away and said, "I don't know what is good."

Chen Yuncheng backed out of his car, raised his hand to help him close the car door, "Officer Long, go slowly."

Long Zhanyu drove away, and Chen Yuncheng returned to the shop, idly packed up the containers, and when he was thinking about what to have for dinner, another car stopped in front of his shop.

Chen Yuncheng put down the things in his hands, leaned against the counter and looked outside.

It was a small black car. After it came to a complete stop, the rear door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties got out from inside. The man was a bit fat, but he was quite tall. No small sense of oppression.

He got out of the car and walked straight towards Chen Yuncheng, showing an insincere smile, and said, "Yuncheng, long time no see."

"Brother Yong," Chen Yuncheng also smiled, "It's really been a long time."

Zhang Wenyong walked all the way to the door of the store, stopped in front of the counter, looked at Chen Yuncheng's small grocery store, and asked, "Do you have any business here?"

Chen Yuncheng said, "It's okay."

Zhang Wenyong smiled with his mouth curled up, looking weird, and then said: "Then the business is probably good, it's more profitable than hanging out with your brothers?"

Chen Yuncheng said: "If you don't want to make money, just want to be safe."

Zhang Wenyong's eyes fell on his face, and he said, "You are stable, have you ever thought about how An Lin's life has been going well in the past two years?"

Chen Yuncheng did not speak.

Zhang Wenyong then burst out laughing. He reached across the counter and patted Chen Yuncheng on the shoulder, saying, "I have good news for you, Guan Anlin has come out."

Chen Yuncheng looked very calm, "Really?"

Zhang Wenyong looked at him, stopped laughing, and pretended to be surprised, "Why are you unhappy? Before he came in, he always regarded you as his best brother."

Chen Yuncheng smiled lightly, "Of course I am happy for him."

Zhang Wenyong said: "Since you are happy, don't just talk about it. Let's go, I arranged to welcome An Lin tonight, and now I am here to pick you up."

Chen Yuncheng did not answer him immediately.

Zhang Wenyong put one arm on the counter and said, "What? You don't give face to Brother Yong when he comes in person?"

"Nothing," Chen Yuncheng said, "Of course I'm going to clean up An Lin's dust. Brother Yong, wait for me a moment. I'll clean up the store and follow you after the door is closed."

Zhang Wenyong took two steps back from the counter, lit a cigarette and stood smoking by the side of the road. He looked at Chen Yuncheng's dilapidated shop and sneered.

Chen Yuncheng turned off the TV, locked the tobacco and alcohol container, then went outside, stood on tiptoe and pulled down the shutter door.

During this process, Zhang Wenyong kept watching him while smoking a cigarette.

After packing up, Chen Yuncheng said to Zhang Wenyong, "Let's go, Brother Yong."

Zhang Wenyong raised his jaw towards the car door, "Get in the car."
