Things seem to be starting to go in a good direction.

After reading part of the document, the reporter from the Los Angeles Daily was so excited that he circled around the room and called the editor-in-chief with trembling voices, planning to change the front page of tomorrow's newspaper.

Luo Pinen called Ning He to the balcony connected to the living room to inform him of the internal progress of the police station.It is said that Ai Xing persuaded an FBI agent to defect by some means, and the news from the safe house has been gradually passed on to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Ning He finally showed a little smile, and thanked Luo Pinen repeatedly.

Later, the reporter was in a hurry to return to the agency for a meeting, and Ning He was too embarrassed to stay and disturb him.Luo Pinen sent them to the door together, the reporter drove away first, but she stopped Ning He again, looked at him with some concern, and said, "Ai Xing may be released in a day or two. But how do you go on in the future? , you have to be mentally prepared."

Ning He lowered his eyes and didn't answer for a moment.

Luo Pinen intended to help him, and said to him, "Ai Shi has a deep foundation here in LA. No matter whether you and Ai Xing can't pass the test of being a parent right now, don't be arrogant. After all, the future is long, and you are not in the pool. It’s tough right now, but there’s hope for the future.”

After hearing her finish, Ning He suddenly smiled, reached out and took out a cigarette case from his coat pocket, and said in a low voice, "Lawyer Luo, don't take offense, I don't smoke."

As he said that, he just took one out of the box and held it between his fingers, as if it would give him something to rely on.

"I don't dare to think about the future yet." He tried not to sound so heavy, "Let's save Ai Xing first."

Luo Pinen sighed softly, "Ning He, you and Ai Xing have completely different personalities."

"Well, he's not like me." Ning He said in a self-deprecating tone, "It's easier for me to give up."

The light from the front porch was cast on the ground, elongating the two figures of an old man and a young man.Ning He and Luo Pinen stood and chatted for a long time, until Luo Pinen's daughter was worried about why her mother would not see the guests back, so she opened the door to check what happened, and they could not stop.

The last thing Luo Pinen said to Ning He was, you have to trust Ai Xing.

Ning He thought of his lover, the separation in just three days seemed as long as a century, the hand holding the cigarette trembled uncontrollably.He nodded at Robin and said that I believed him, and I always believed it.

Later, he walked to the street alone, and the car called by his mobile phone hadn't arrived yet. Standing in the wind, he couldn't bear the cold, so he made an exception and lit a cigarette for himself.

After spinning continuously for three days, at this moment the stagnation was emptied, and Ning He realized that he missed Ai Xing so much.

He knew that there were too many willful and impulsive things between them, but if he had to choose again, he would still fall in love with Ai Xing and marry him.

Probably in front of everyone, Ning He is often regarded as a mature and stable adult, but only in Ai Xing's world, he is spoiled like a child: he is greedy for Ai Xing's embrace, and enjoys being with Ai Xing , Sometimes I would rather hide than know the dangers of the world.

After taking a few puffs of the cigarette, Ning He extinguished it and threw it into the trash can on the street.Even though he knew that Ai Xing's cell phone had long been in the hands of the FBI, Ning He didn't hold back and sent a message to a familiar number.

——I smoked secretly just now, if you find out when we meet, don't be angry.

The information was sent out.Ning He stared at the screen, thinking, this is a coquettish tone, he turned out to be so clingy.

A Toyota Camry slowed to a stop beside him, and the driver poked his head out and waved at him.Ning He checked the license plate and sat in the back seat.

The driver drove him to Shao Yin's apartment. Ning He's original intention was to spend more time with his mother, and when her mood improved, he would talk to her again and try to gain her understanding.But he didn't expect that when he entered the door, Shao Yin followed and locked him in the house.

Almost all the media in California and even the whole country used the front page to report the breaking news of "High School Student Hackers Toppled the Governor of California".Ai Xing's alma mater, Mu High School, was surrounded by swarms of media reporters. For a while, everyone was full of curiosity about the background of this lonely boy.

Four days after his arrest, Ai Xing was secretly sent from the safe house to the Los Angeles Police Department for protection due to the secret assistance of Agent Wilson.He underwent further questioning and scrutiny, culminating in a non-disclosure agreement in which he would remain silent on all details of his experience in the safe house, including his extraordinarily tortured and interrogated, and that the LAPD would enter into the corruption case. Before the final trial, he was given the highest level of personal protection 24 hours a day.

Chief Kaysen appeared with two senior officers and escorted him out of the police station.Ai Xing wore a gray long-sleeved T-shirt and hoodie provided by the police, and his lower body was the school uniform trousers he wore when he left home a few days ago. When he followed Kaisen and the others through a brightly lit office corridor, many police officers Come out and applaud him.He didn't respond much, the several days of imprisonment had severely damaged his body and mind, he was exhausted, and his only thought was to see Ning He as soon as possible.

Ai Chengjin and the team of lawyers hired by Ai Shi had reached a consensus with the police in advance, and decided to pick up Ai Xing from an inconspicuous side entrance of the police station, in order to avoid the media's long guns and short guns as much as possible.

However, reporters with a keen sense of smell still got wind of it, and set up recording equipment at every exit of the Los Angeles Police Department.Through those flickering lenses, Ai Xing saw many relatives and friends approaching him, but Ning He was the only one.

Ai Chengjin hugged him tightly and led him into the car.There was a lot of noise around, and media reporters shouted his name "William" through the iron fence of the police station, wanting him to answer questions.

Ai Xing sat in the car silently, and the same three or four black Audi cars moved almost simultaneously.

Ai Chengjin looked at him very sadly, handed him water, and said to him, "Everything is arranged at home, and the doctor will do some examinations for you."

Ai Xing took off the hat on his head, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where's Ning He? Why didn't he come?"

Ning He and Shao Yin chatted intermittently all day, they didn't quarrel, there was no physical conflict, both of them tried to keep calm.But Shao Yin never agreed to let him meet Ai Xing.

Ning He noticed that the two-carat engagement ring on her ring finger had been removed, which seemed to mean that there was a big problem with Ai Chengjin.Ning He felt that all this was caused by himself, Shao Yin sacrificed too much for him in the first half of his life, and he could not pay it back after all.

Although Shao Yin didn't force him to stay in the apartment, he was unwilling to insist on leaving without her consent.

He saw the news of Ai Xing's release from the TV news.No media took pictures of Ai Xing's face, but from a long distance, he saw a slightly thin figure leaving the police station surrounded by the crowd.

Another day later, Ning He was still staying with his mother in the apartment, but suddenly received a message from Ai Zhinan: Ai Xing did not cooperate with the treatment, nor did he eat, and insisted on seeing you.

Ning He froze for a moment, and was about to call back, when another message came in from Ai Zhinan: How is the situation with you?I'm trying to persuade my uncle to let you meet first.Ai Xing is very irritable now, almost everything in the bedroom was smashed by him.

Ning He was so anxious that he had no choice but to beg Shao Yin.

Shao Yin looked at him with a heartbroken expression, and said, "A Ning, why don't you understand that you and Ai Xing can't go on forever. Mom didn't keep you here out of selfishness, let alone because I wanted to To save the marriage with Ai Chengjin, but as you and Ai Xing, you will have no results at all."

Ning He has heard such similar words hundreds of times in the past two days, and Shao Yin continued to persuade him, "You two are not children from ordinary families, and it is not as simple as coming out with your parents. Ai's development in California For so many years, most of the business has been related to Chinese real estate. Those customers are very traditional. Ai Xing’s identity will have a great negative impact on Ai’s image. If you really love him, you have to think about him Think, the pressure of the whole family is not something you can bear."

Ning He was so forced that he had no choice but to say to Shao Yin, "Mom, the reason why Ai Xing was arrested this time was to save you. For the sake of protecting your reputation, let me go to see him." one side."

The air was suddenly quiet.Shao Yin froze for a few seconds, then asked softly, "What's going on?"

About half an hour later, Ning He pushed the door out in a daze, holding the key and wallet in his hand.

At this time, it was past ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and there were no residents in the corridor.

He bowed his head and took two steps, and all he could see was Shao Yin's shameful expression after hearing the truth.Ning He felt that he was an asshole and had nowhere to vent his suppressed emotions, so he suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself, then continued walking until he entered the elevator room and reached out to press the button.

When the elevator was going down, Ai Zhinan called him. Because the signal was weak, Ning He didn't hear what she said.

Ning He originally wanted to go outside the building and call back, but just as he stepped out of the apartment lobby, a taxi drove in from the driveway and stopped directly in front of him.

Ning He was stunned, and the moment he looked up, he saw Ai Xing push the car door and get out of the back seat, with several wounds on his face and hands, and bloodshot eyes.Ning He's whole body seemed to be emptied in an instant, he opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound at all.

Ai Xing stared at him closely, and slowly walked up to him.

Ai Xing carried a murderous aura left behind after a long period of torment and struggle.But the moment he saw Ning He, his eyes became gentle, like in the past, he lowered his head slightly, and called out, "Brother."
