Burning Heart[ABO]

evening.

Ji Rao was dressed in an unremarkable gray down jacket, wearing a hat and a mask, and walked into the coffee shop he had agreed with, sat down in a corner seat for less than 5 minutes, when a gentle middle-aged man with glasses came in, holding Carrying a briefcase, she sat down opposite Ji Rao.

"Hello, my surname is Wu." The other party introduced himself and reached out to Ji Rao.

Ji Rao raised his hand coldly.

While the man was sizing him up, Ji Rao was also sizing him up. This man was unremarkable, he looked just like those ordinary white-collar workers who went in and out of various office buildings. They were sitting here, more like trying to sell an insurance contract , or trade other commonplace things other than glands.

The man took a sip of his coffee and said slowly, "Mr. Ji, won't you take off your mask? How can you drink coffee while wearing a mask?"

Ji Rao only took off his hat, kept his mask on, and didn't take a sip of coffee: "Sorry, I'm a public figure, and I'm used to it outside."

The other party smiled and said: "Public figures, you should be quite rich if you are in this line of business. I have seen Mr. Ji's movie, and your acting is pretty good."

Ji Rao was not interested in chatting with him, so he asked straight to the point: "My glands, how much do you think they can sell for?"

The man stared into his eyes: "I'm still very interested to ask, a popular star like Mr. Ji, who can earn tens of millions in just a commercial show, why should he choose to do this kind of deal when he has nowhere to go? "

"Now I'm not well-reviewed, I'm full of negative news, I'm losing fans, and I haven't received a serious job for a long time. The film I made before was still a group I paid for myself. Who would spend tens of millions to invite me to a commercial performance? It’s not easy to make money these days, and no business’s money comes from strong winds.”

He didn't lie, the salary he got for Zhou Yongping's movie was about nothing, and he lost all the advertising endorsements on his body. Not many people are willing to take a look at his old-fashioned talent.

"Let's be honest, I urgently need money to repay the loan sharks. Since you are willing to come out to meet me, it means that my glands must be valuable, so why keep going around in circles." Ji Rao intentionally expressed his anxiety in urgent need of money.

The man laughed again when he heard the words: "I see, how much money does Mr. Ji want?"

Ji Rao gritted his teeth: "At least 100 million."

The man shook his head: "The top-level Alpha glands are indeed valuable, even more valuable than the heart, but Mr. Ji only needs 100 million yuan to open his mouth. Isn't it too big to open his mouth?"

"80."

"sixty."

"70, no less." Ji Rao bargained with the other party.

The man raised his eyebrows: "70 is negotiable. Before the operation, we need to conduct a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of Mr. Ji's glands. If Mr. Ji's glands are as you said, I will help you apply for 70." , after all, with a celebrity like Mr. Ji, there should be no shortage of people rushing to ask for it."

"Yes, I am anxious to wait for the money to be used, so hurry up."

Ji Rao readily agreed.

The man reminded him: "Mr. Ji, go back and wait for the call. I will inform you again if there is news, but I have to inform Mr. Ji in advance. I will pick you up that day. Don't ask where you are going. You can only go there alone." , You can’t bring anything with you, we also have our rules, I hope Mr. Ji will keep this matter a secret, for the good of everyone.”

Ji Rao nodded arrogantly: "Don't worry, I won't be so stupid as to tell you about selling my glands."

The man raised his lips: "I also believe that Mr. Ji is a person who keeps his promise."

This person is probably not afraid that Ji Rao will tell the truth, after all, they will not leave any excuses for things that are unfounded.

Afterwards, Ji Rao tried to ask a lot of questions about the operation process and the aftermath, pretending to be nervous and slightly worried, so as to reassure the other party. The man answered very professionally, but other than that, he didn't reveal anything about their organization. Related Information.

After the man left, Ji Rao sat alone in the coffee shop for a while. He recorded the entire conversation just now. The man was very cautious and didn't mention who he was representing from the beginning to the end. This recording is not even evidence. But talk is better than nothing.

Putting down the coffee money, Ji Rao put on his hat again, got up and left.

The day before New Year's Day, Xu Youxin sent another WeChat message: "I have already sent all the information you want to your email address, and then it is up to you. They sent your information to Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye has been in good spirits these days." Unfortunately, I don’t have time to deal with this. His assistant got involved in the case. I replied to the email in the name of Mr. Ye. They should contact you soon. Whether you are selling or buying, their worries will not be too big, so you should be careful that is."

Ji Rao replied with a "thank you".

Xu Youxin's ability is not small, and he is also very courageous. Not only did Ye Huai'an go to the hospital, but he also managed to create a rift between him and the assistant who had been with him for many years.

In the past six months, Ye Huai'an has lost ground in the battle with Xu's father for the control of Ye's company. He has become more and more manic, and he is suspicious of everyone around him, except for Xu Youxin.He was admitted to the hospital because of an overdose of psychotropic drugs. He suspected that he had been poisoned. The first person who became suspicious was his assistant, who even called the police, and the assistant was controlled by the police.

Ye Huai'an's multinational medical institution was originally managed by his assistant, but because of this incident, Xu Youxin found an opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.

Ji Rao opened the mailbox, and all the information collected by Xu Youxin was inside, including the conclusive evidence that Ye Huai'an was the major shareholder behind the institution.

Pages of information and data are shocking, Ye Huai'an's death [-] times is not a pity, he must obey the law.

The only thing they lack now is a tipping point.

In the afternoon, Ji Rao went back to Xu's house to ask Father Xu to borrow something.

A technology company under the Xu family has developed a camera hidden in contact lenses. Once Ji Rao had dinner with Xu’s father, Xu’s father mentioned it casually and reminded him to be more careful when going out in the future, so as not to I was accidentally photographed.

The thing has not been officially launched yet, and the technology is still in the confidential stage, so Ji Rao wants to borrow it first.Xu's father didn't ask much, it was rare that Ji Rao was willing to ask him for something, even though it was a loan, he was happy to give it.

"I'll ask my uncle to do me a favor later."

This is the first time that Ji Rao took the initiative to trouble Xu's father. It is not easy to really bring down Ye Huai'an and bring him to justice. In addition to solid evidence and the pressure of public opinion, he also needs to suppress the official forces behind his collusion. Even Ye Huaining couldn't do anything, but Xu's father could. In terms of background and connections, Xu's father was even better than Ye Huai'an.

Father Xu frowned: "I can help you, but what exactly do you want to do?"

With Xu's father's approval, Ji Rao thanked: "Thank you uncle, I will tell uncle in detail later."

Not staying at Xu's house for long, Ji Rao quickly said goodbye and left. When he was going out, he ran into Xu Yinxing who had just come back from outside. The two had a face-to-face meeting. Xu Yinxing called to him: "Say a few words."

They stood together in the garden outside for a while, Xu Yinxing handed Ji Rao a cigarette, but Ji Rao didn't pick it up: "Quit."

Xu Yinxing grinned, and lit one himself: "I heard that you and Brother Ye played together in Africa for a long time, have you reconciled?"

Ji Rao didn't answer, but asked him instead: "Have you given up completely?"

Xu Yinxing spread his hands: "If you don't give up, what can you do? Brother Ye doesn't like me anyway, and I'm not as thick-skinned as you. Brother Ye can still chase after you when you go to Africa."

"You don't like him much, and if you really like him, you don't care about thick-skinned."

After Ji Rao finished speaking, he shook his head and was about to leave, but Xu Yinxing called him again: "Hey, let me tell you something."

Ji Rao raised his eyebrows.

"On the island that night, nothing happened between Brother Ye and I. I thought so, but Brother Ye is not such a casual person."

Ji Rao looked at him, Xu Yinxing smiled: "Really, don't you believe it?"

Ji Rao's throat rolled: "I believe it."

In fact, he should have guessed it a long time ago. He was just dazzled by jealousy and lost his ability to judge.

His reaction made Xu Yinxing feel bored: "Actually, I really like Brother Ye, and I didn't want to compete with you, but forget it, I won't compare with you in the future, I think I am better than you in many aspects , the only one who loses to you emotionally, I admit it, you treat brother Ye well, don't hurt his heart again, and next time, I will kidnap brother Ye from your side."

Ji Rao nodded, and said one last thing to Xu Yinxing before leaving: "Thank you."

It was nearly dusk when the car drove out of Xu's villa, and when the traffic lights were waiting, the phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

Ji Rao pressed to answer, and the man on the other end of the phone said with a smile: "Mr. Ji, I've been waiting for a long time, come over tomorrow, I'll send you an address, you come alone, remember, don't bring anyone, and don't bring anyone you shouldn't." bring something."

"I know." Ji Rao replied coldly.

Five minutes later, he received a location address from the other party in a text message on his mobile phone. Ji Rao glanced at the parking lot of the cemetery in the southern suburbs.

He returned two words: "Received."

"Then tomorrow, I will pick up Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji remember to rest well today and recharge your spirits. See you tomorrow."

Ji Rao didn't come back.

The night was gradually sinking, and the streets were crowded with people, Ji Rao slowed down and looked out the window absently.

Thinking of this time last year when I was only able to get close to Ye Huaining by pretending to be a doll, I couldn't help laughing, picked up my phone, and the top WeChat chat interface was still stuck on the "good night" sent last night.

He and Ye Huaining hadn't seen each other for several days. He stayed at Ye Huaining's house on Christmas Eve. He still lived in the guest room, and his relationship with Ye Huaining was always stuck on the last layer of paper. Just wait patiently with Ye Huaining.

He knew that Ye Huaining's heart knot was still not completely untied, so he could only wait.

nine o'clock.

Ye Huaining finished the meal and walked out of the hotel. After drinking two glasses of wine, he felt a little uncomfortable. He sat in the car and opened the window to blow the cold wind for a while before he felt better.

On the screen of the phone, there was a WeChat message sent by Ji Rao a few hours ago: "Huai Ning, are you coming out for the New Year's Eve?"

Ye Huaining touched the watch on his wrist subconsciously, and replied: "I'm on a business trip in Shanghai."

"Today?" Ji Rao replied in seconds.

"Ah."

Another message was sent over there: "What a coincidence, I still have work tomorrow, or I can buy a plane ticket and fly over to find you right now."

Ye Huaining frowned: "No need, don't bother me, I'll go back to the hotel and sleep right away."

"What time is it, can you sleep?"

"Don't worry about it."

"Which hotel are you staying at?"

"I told you not to come over."

"If you don't go, just ask."

Ye Huaining sent the name of the hotel and pressed the phone screen to black.

After going back to the hotel to take a shower and eat some supper, he finally recovered, but now he didn't feel sleepy, Ye Huaining was leaning on the sofa while watching the New Year's Eve party on TV, while playing with his mobile phone bored.

Ji Rao sent a message again, reminding him: "Huai Ning, go to bed late tonight, stay till twelve o'clock."

"doing what?"

"You'll know in a while."

Ye Huaining didn't bother to guess and ignored people.

Two minutes before midnight, Ji Rao's new WeChat came in: "Go and open the curtains and look at the building opposite."

Ye Huaining didn't know what he was going to do, got up and walked to the window, and slowly opened the curtains.

The hotel he stayed in was by the river, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows on one side was the brightly lit night view of Linjiang.

When the clock struck midnight, countless gorgeous red roses suddenly bloomed on the light wall outside the tallest building across the river, and the petals gradually pieced together Chinese characters.

"Huai Ning, happy new year, I love you."

Ye Huaining was stunned.

Ji Rao's phone call came in, with a smile in his voice: "Huai Ning, is the light show good?"

Ye Huaining came back to his senses, his lips moved: "...Did you find the money?"

The light show at midnight on New Year's Eve was booked temporarily, and it was more than ten times more expensive than usual.

"It's rare for me to be extravagant, so please save face."

After 5 minutes, Ye Huaining's exclusive light show ended.

Holding the phone that was a little hot, he listened to the man talking and laughing, his heartbeat overshadowing everything else.

The people over there said again: "Huai Ning, Happy New Year."

He wanted to say the last three words in person when we meet next time.

Ye Huaining's mind settled down, and he said softly, "You too, Happy New Year."
