chase game

The next day's air was still low pressure, and the headline of the weather section of the newspaper was eye-catching, reminding all residents that this kind of snowstorm will continue for a while, and they should pay attention to safety when driving.Even Simba's mood was affected, and he was lying lazily at Augustine's feet, looking as if he was going to hibernate soon.

"Are you really not going to give yourself a vacation?" Philip asked leaning against the door of the study.

"I don't need a vacation before he gets up." Augustine leaned back in his chair and continued to deal with work.

"It's really touching words." Philip sighed, and then reminded, "But my sister-in-law got up 3 minutes ago, and I just saw him go downstairs."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Augustine dropped what he was holding and stood up after hearing this.

With a smile on his face, Philip watched his brother in love go downstairs.

This charming love.

"Morning." Night Breeze Dance was still wearing her nightgown, with her hands in her pockets, sitting on the sofa and yawning.

"You don't seem to be awake at all." Augustine leaned over and placed a kiss on his forehead, "Why do you want to get up?"

"But it's already noon." Ye Fengwu buried her face in his arms, "Give me three minutes to wake up."

Augustine was patient.

Three minutes later, Ye Feng Wu was still sleepy and asked, "What are you going to do today?"

"Want to go out and have a look?" Augustine asked, "but it's snowing outside."

"It's good to stay in the castle." Ye Fengwu's voice was a little hoarse, and she continued to curl up in his arms.

Augustine reached out to test the temperature of his forehead, and finally noticed something strange: "You have a fever."

"I was a little tired last night, and I'll be fine in a few hours." Ye Fengwu closed her eyes, "It's okay."

"Are you sure you don't need a doctor?" Augustine was still worried.

Ye Fengwu shook her head, then glanced at the door again: "Philip seems to need to find you."

"It doesn't seem like it's true." Philip poked his head in after hearing this, with a sad expression on his face, "I have a call, it's very important." Although I didn't want to disturb him, there was no way.

Augustine frowned slightly.

"I'll rest here." Ye Fengwu patted him, "Go to work."

"I'll be back as quickly as possible." Augustine kissed him, took the phone from Philip and walked towards the study, "Who is it?"

"The police." Philip replied, "Those freighters have been seized in Fiji, and all arms and drugs have been confiscated, but the mastermind behind the scenes has not been caught."

"Nothing?" Augustine paused.

"The other party didn't show up at all." Philip said, "The interrogation is ongoing, but nothing has been gained yet."

"Where's little Bernal?" Augustine asked again.

"There has been no movement for the time being, and it is possible that you don't know about it at all." Philip replied, "He seems to be just a dispensable character."

"Get the whole thing done in a month," Augustine ordered.

It was rare for Philip to frown—the new movie of his sister-in-law will be released in China in a month. If he wants to attend the promotional event, he must first ensure that the scene is [-]% safe.But the police really don't have any clues at present. If the other party stops contacting Bernal Jr. in a short period of time, it will be difficult to even track and locate him.

In the bedroom, Ye Fengwu leaned against the head of the bed and fell asleep, while MOKA rolled on the carpet next to him, poking him with his front paws, his eyes full of anticipation, and he wanted to go out to play in the snow together.

"Please, I'm really tired." Ye Fengwu didn't even open her eyes, just rubbed its head indiscriminately, "Be obedient."

"Wow." MOKA stood up, stretching out his tongue to lick his master.

Night Breeze Dance avoided with a smile, and almost woke up after playing around for a long time, so she simply pushed away the quilt and lay down beside the bed to play with it.

Although he was not taken out to play in the snow, MOKA was still in a good mood. After playing the game of pretending to be dead more than a dozen times, he still enjoyed it and learned to stick out his tongue.

"I thought you were sleeping obediently." Augustine walked in, feeling a little helpless upon seeing this.

"Biu!" Ye Fengwu reached out and pointed at him.

Augustine: "..."

Moka was so quick-witted that he fell on his stomach in no time.

"See, this is the correct way to play." Night Breeze Dance looked at him with a smile.

Augustine reached out to test the temperature of his forehead, then opened the door and let Moka out, or rather just threw him out.

"Come on, poor little deportee." Philip was full of emotion, opening his arms for a loving embrace.

The big dog ignored him all the way, and ran past him happily, looking in a good mood and unaffected, his tail was about to fly into the sky.

Philip remained in the posture with a slightly heartbroken heart, and planned to go back to his bedroom to heal with the groundhog doll, and called to ask when the main body would come back.

Oh!

miss!

The lunch was very light. After eating two spoonfuls of porridge, Ye Fengwu looked up and asked, "Did the kitchen prepare the rest of the food for you?"

"No need." Augustine shook his head.

Ye Fengwu took out a tissue and wiped his mouth for him.

Augustine swallowed another mouthful of food calmly. He felt that everything about his little lover was perfect, except for the strange taste when he was sick, which was completely incomprehensible—noodles cooked until broken, sticky rice porridge, and a devil-like appearance Eggs, pickled vegetables, and all kinds of strange soy products are placed on the table, which looks like a dinner from Satan, or a potion from an alien planet.

Night Breeze Dance lowered her head and bit the little black pickled melon.

Augustine held his forehead, feeling that he had a toothache.

"You have to learn to appreciate every kind of food." Ye Fengwu wiped her fingers.

"Of course, I have always appreciated it." Augustine's answer was standard.

"Then take a bite." Ye Fengwu handed the preserved egg to him.

Seeing the black, heart-shaped object flowing down and the strong smell of vinegar, Augustine held his breath and opened his mouth expressionlessly.

"Just kidding." Ye Fengwu took back the chopsticks, "I know you don't like it."

Augustine was visibly relieved.

Night Breeze Dance looked at him and smiled.

"It doesn't matter, we still have decades to go." Augustine raised his eyebrows. "In the future, you can slowly teach me from which angle to appreciate it."

In the afternoon, the wind and snow became stronger.Ye Fengwu sat cross-legged on the bed and played with her mobile phone. Augustine surrounded him from behind. He didn't ask until he saw the game was cleared, "Did little Bernal contact you again?"

"Him?" Ye Fengwu put down her phone, "I told you that was the last time, what's wrong?"

"The freighters have been detained by the police in the South Pacific region, but who is behind the scenes and what is the purpose, these questions have not been answered yet." Augustine said, "I am worried that they will trouble you."

"There are no calls or messages for the time being." Ye Fengwu shook her head, "Where's Little Bernal? How's it going?"

"Everything is the same as usual," Augustine replied, "as long as you stay in the castle, you will be all right, don't worry."

"Of course I'm not worried." Ye Fengwu frowned, "But you also have to be careful, that batch of goods is worth a lot of money, and it may even be half of his wealth, but now it is being seized by the police. will be in a good mood."

What's more, the other party is a vicious desperado.

Another week passed quickly, and the police sent back new case information, but there was not much progress, and it could even be said that nothing was found, only the nationality, height, weight, and blood type of the suspect were confirmed.

Augustine frowned.

"With Santo here, there is actually no need to worry too much. He has a strong background in this area." Philippe comforted at the moment, "We have to be patient."

Augustine shook his head: "I am very patient, but no one can guarantee that the other party will be equally patient." Moreover, according to intuition and experience, the calmer you are now, the greater the conflict that will erupt in the future.

"Although sister-in-law can't go out for the time being, it's a good choice to stay in the castle on a snowy day." Philip continued to smile, trying to connect the whole thing in a festive way. "It's like Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, the snow and the prince."

"What is this?" Augustine had no interest in his nonsense, and reached for a delicate envelope.

"An invitation letter from Adams, there will be a charity event in Paris next weekend." Philip patted his head, "I almost forgot about it just now."

"Leave it to you." Augustine handed him the invitation letter.

"But I have other plans for next Friday." Philip reminded, "The regular video meeting, the discussion on the fifth step of shale gas exploration plan was just halfway through last month." And I bet, you must not understand the whole thing To what extent has it developed.

Augustine: "..."

Philip comforted: "I know you don't want to leave my sister-in-law, but it's only for two days. Besides, even newly married couples often face short-term separations, which is normal."

"Go arrange a car." Augustine reluctantly accepted.

Philip breathed a sigh of relief in an instant, and called Cheng Xia by the way after leaving the house for daily care.

"You're really free." Cheng Xia said embarrassingly.

"Since the vacation is over, why do you still stay in France?" Philip called affectionately, "Oh! Come back and reunite with us!"

"Where's my cousin?" Cheng Xia was completely uninterested in his sensationalism.

"Should be on lunch break," Philip replied. "Last night was intense."

"Don't talk about such things!" The little groundhog felt tight in his chest, and didn't really want to know the details of the male god and his cousin.

"This is a factual description, without any exaggeration." Philip said, "And it will only become more intense tonight, because Augustine will be away alone for a while, so he needs to make up."

"Where is Mr. Augustine going?" Cheng Xia always followed the news of the male god, "I haven't seen the news."

"Even His Majesty doesn't have to put everything in the papers." Philip leaned against the wall.

"Okay, how long will it take?" Cheng Xia asked.

Philip replied: "Two days."

The little groundhog obviously choked: "So short?"

What is there to make up for.

It's only been two days...

On Thursday afternoon, Augustine left Milan by private jet. Ye Fengwu helped him sort out all the materials in his study, and when he went out, he saw Philip rushing from the other end of the corridor.

……

"Simba is chasing you?" Ye Fengwu glanced behind him.

"No, I'm in a hurry." Philip held a stack of documents in his hand, "Are you free now?"

"Of course." Ye Fengwu nodded.

Filled with enthusiasm, Philip took him back to the study and pressed him on the chair: "What do you think of this wooden house?"

"It's cute." Ye Fengwu took the picture in his hand.

"Located in a woodland in the countryside, it is like a fairy tale." Philip sat on the table happily, "This is my Christmas present for Xia Xia."

"Thank you, he will definitely like it very much." Ye Fengwu returned the document to him, "But I just received a call that he will continue to live in Liverpool with his parents for a while, and will not come back for the time being."

"It will take at least two weeks to repair and damage the wooden house. I don't mind if he stays in England for a whole month." Philip stood up. "Now I have to go and see the painter's progress. Do you want to go together?"

"I thought there would be professional workers in charge of this matter," Ye Fengwu said.

"Of course there will be, but the workers won't understand the details I need, such as a fireplace in the shape of a pine cone, and a chimney suitable for groundhogs to climb." Philip diverged his thoughts, "Or transplanting a black currant in the open space? "

"It's winter now." Ye Fengwu patted him on the shoulder, "Believe me, it looks great now."

"It's not enough." Philip leaned seriously on the sofa, "This is related to the length of my healing time." So it must be very serious.

At noon the next day, Ye Fengwu was the only one in the restaurant.

"Mr. Philip didn't come back last night." The butler brought him the meal, "Do you need some gravy?"

"I remember there was a meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon." Ye Fengwu looked at the time.

"There are still 45 minutes left, so it's not too late." The butler replied, "You don't have to worry."

Ye Fengwu tried to make a call, but the voice prompted to turn off the phone.

"Maybe...the phone is out of battery?" The butler was also a little puzzled about this. According to Philip's usual attitude and style, even if he hated a certain job content, he would only quarrel with the negotiating party at the meeting place, and even spit at each other. Be sure not to be late.

"Where did he go last night?" Ye Fengwu put down the fork.

"Woodland cabin, recently Mr. Philip goes there twice a week to design the walls with the painter," said the housekeeper.

"I'll go and have a look." Ye Fengwu stood up.

"But Mr. Augustine has ordered that you are not allowed to leave the castle alone." The butler reminded.

The mobile phone buzzed and vibrated on the dining table, but the caller ID was unknown.

……

And in an abandoned warehouse more than ten kilometers away, Philip was being tied back to a chair, and his eyes were dark.

The surroundings are very quiet, so quiet that you can almost hear the breathing of the others.

"Why don't you kidnap Augustine?" After a long time, Philip finally couldn't help himself and asked, "After all, I'm willing to spend a lot of money to redeem him, but he must wish that I was kidnapped." I really don't want to talk, just listen It's very sad to hear.

"Shut your mouth." The other party's voice was a little gloomy.

"At least tell me what you want." Philip said sincerely, "then this deal will be possible."

"You don't need to know." The other party was unmoved.

There was the sound of a gun being loaded next to his ear, and Philip stared wide-eyed: "Hey!"

There was a tingling pain on the neck, and a cold liquid was pushed into the skin.In the moment before the coma passed, Philip felt that after this matter was resolved, he must seek 24-hour hug healing, the kind that can be rubbed, the furry kind.

even longer.

longer.

There was a mess in front of the cabin, the sky was still raging with blizzard, and the sound of footsteps could be heard faintly in the distance, as if someone was struggling to move forward on a slippery path.

A white figure was getting closer and closer, Ye Fengwu was wearing a thick down jacket, stepped on the withered branches and leaves with his feet, and pushed open the dilapidated wooden door.

As expected, the room was empty, with a mobile phone and a note on the table.

Ye Fengwu followed the other party's instructions, threw her mobile phone into the water tank, and dialed a series of numbers with the other party's prepared phone.

"It seems that I underestimated your courage." The other party quickly connected.

"Because I need to figure out why all this happened." Ye Fengwu replied, "I thought this transaction was smooth enough, why did this happen?"

"It's really going well for you." The other party sneered.

"Okay, some words are hard to say clearly on the phone, where do we need to meet now?" Ye Fengwu asked, "The location is up to you to decide, I only have one request, no matter where Philip is currently tied up, you can't Let him see me, and let him know our relationship, which is why I am willing to come to see you alone."

"Do you still want to go back?" the other party asked.

"Of course I want to go back." Ye Fengwu replied, "Otherwise no one will be reconciled to working hard for so long but getting nothing."

"You've got enough from Augustine," the other party reminded.

"I paid more." Ye Fengwu's tone was a little gloomy, "You are not the one who slept with him, so of course you don't know what I've been through."

"Very good, I am also very interested in meeting you personally." The other party nodded, "Go along the path on the left, and someone will bring you to see me."

"OK." Ye Fengwu hung up the phone, wrapped her down jacket tightly and went back into the snow.
