Rebirth of Brotherly Love

At the same time, at An Yang's home.

Seeing the name on the phone's caller ID, An Luo and An Yang fell silent.

Although An Luo suspected that the call had something to do with his disappearance, he didn't expect it to be his father's call. In this way, the inference that the call was related to the disappearance may not necessarily be true. It is also possible that the father's call to his son was just an ordinary call. greeting.

But An Yang shook his head and said, "Maybe it's not that simple, you can check the text message records again."

An Luo turned to the phone's inbox again. In addition to some mobile company advertisements and weather forecasts, there were also text messages from several people——

August 5th 22:10

An Mo: Brother, the art exhibition in New York won't be over for another week. I've booked a ticket to return home next week.Tomorrow is my brother's birthday, right?Happy birthday to you in advance :)

An Luo: Thank you.

August 5th 22:11

An Yan: I'm going to Paris to participate in Fashion Week. I won't be with you this birthday. What gift do you want brother?I'll bring it back to you.

An Luo: No need.

An Yan: How about that, a complete set of clothes from the inside to the outside, okay?Or buy you a new phone?

An Luo: ...

An Yan: Come on, don't hesitate to ask for anything.

An Luo: Whatever.

An Yan: Oh, then I just buy it casually?

An Luo: Yes.

August 5th 22:11

Lin Xiaotong: An Luo, I've found something, let's have lunch together, and we'll discuss it with you when we meet.

An Luo: Where?

Lin Xiaotong: The western restaurant I went to last time, at [-]:[-] noon, I will make a reservation.

An Luo: OK.

August 5th 22:11

An Luo: Grandpa, I have something very important to talk to you about. Around 04:30 in the afternoon, can I come directly to the hospital?

Grandpa: What's the matter, Xiao Luo?What is so serious?

An Luo: I still need to confirm some things. I will come to you after meeting Xiaotong later.

Grandpa: OK, I'll wait for you in the hospital.

……

On the day An Luo disappeared on the 22nd, he received text messages from four people. After receiving blessings from An Yan and An Mo in the morning, Lin Xiaotong invited him to dinner, and then he sent a text message to ask his grandfather to meet. From the text message, it can be seen that he wanted to tell his grandfather The "important matter" mentioned by Lin Xiaotong must have a very direct relationship with what Lin Xiaotong wanted to tell him.

Reminiscent of the previous dream, An Luo looked down at his watch frequently that day, obviously in order to meet his grandfather in a hurry. After lunch, An Luo hurried to the car, but unexpectedly was stopped by An Ze, and then received by his father. An Luo didn't answer An Yudong's phone call. The two brothers had a dispute in the car, and then An Luo drove to meet his grandfather, but was intercepted and kidnapped on the way.

An Yang carefully read the text message again, and said calmly: "The progress of the matter is very clear now, the key lies in the content of the conversation between Lin Xiaotong and An Luo at lunch, the purpose of An Yudong's call, and what An Luo wanted to tell his grandfather What are the important things."

An Luo was silent for a moment, "Unfortunately, I still can't remember these things."

"It doesn't matter." An Yang smiled slightly, "At least now that the case has a clear context, I will investigate An Yudong's background in detail."

"Do you doubt him?" An Luo frowned, "He looks mild-tempered, and he probably wouldn't kidnap his son."

An Yang smiled slightly, "But under normal circumstances, no son would directly refuse to answer his father's phone call."

***

Yu Minglang really lived up to his reputation. In just one morning, he sorted out all the information on An Luo's life and relatives.

Anze took over the stack of thick printed documents, and opened the first page with complicated emotions.

"An Luo was considered a legend 27 years ago. He was the illegitimate son of a mafia family. He was fostered at his grandmother's house since he was a child. Later, when his grandmother passed away, his father took him back to the An family and raised him as an heir. The An family generation at that time There are three children in total, An Yang and An Fei are twin brothers and sisters, they are outstanding in appearance and talented, relatively speaking, the younger brother An Luo has become the most inconspicuous illegitimate child in the eyes of everyone."

"As the eldest brother, An Yang has participated in all the underworld business of the An family, and is also the nominal heir of the An family. An Luo has been loyally assisting his brother. With the joint efforts of the two brothers, the power of the An family in the underworld is flourishing... ..."

"In order to completely disintegrate the underworld Blue Night organization led by Anjia, the police carefully set up a bureau and dispatched the best young police officer Su Zihang to sneak into Anjia. Su Zihang has obtained a lot of evidence during the years of being an undercover agent in Anjia. The power of the underworld has been wiped out..."

"It's a pity that on the day of the police operation, Su Zihang's undercover identity was exposed, he was seriously injured, and died in the hospital after rescue efforts failed. Although the Blue Night Organization was severely injured by the police, the mysterious 'Prince' managed to escape..."

"Not long after, An Yang had a car accident, and An Fei died of breast cancer. An Luo was the only one left in the An family. An Luo, who was only 20 years old, supported the declining family business by himself. The money in Li made a comeback, successfully got the An family out of the underworld, and transferred all the domestic business to Vancouver."

"27 years ago, An Luo and a man named Alen were in an accident when they flew back to China. According to my guess, the man named Alen was his brother An Yang. In the car accident that year, An Yang did not die. , but was secretly sent away by An Luo."

"As for the relatives of the An family, there are not many left now. Only Shao Changgeng and his son can find clues. Back then, An Luo's sister Anfei married Shao Changgeng and gave birth to a son named Shao Rong. The Shao family and his son are currently in the UK. London, they are all internationally renowned surgeons."

Yu Minglang paused, then smiled and said, "Major Anze, are you satisfied with my investigation results? The contact information of Shao's father and son is also attached at the end."

An Ze frowns more and more while listening to Yu Minglang's description while flipping through the materials.

The underworld, drug trafficking, the police, undercover agents, car accidents, plane crashes...

That An Luo's life was simply a wonderful legend.

It is difficult for Anze to associate these words with his brother. In Anze's heart, although his brother has a cold personality, he also has a gentle side. He cannot be a cruel, cold, murderous gangster.

But last night, An Luo's calmness and decisiveness when he picked up the gun, as well as his skill and precision in using the gun... made An Ze have to accept "he is another An Luo" Outrageous facts.

Looking at the photo of An Luo in the data, the young man's indifferent face has no expression, his dark eyes are bottomless, as the ruler of An's family, he exudes a compelling aura in his gestures, such eyes , even like a poisonous snake ready to show its fangs.

Similar in appearance to his brother, but more of a difference in temperament.

That An Luo was too cold, he seemed to wrap his whole body tightly with a layer of ice, so cold that he almost lost the temperature that a human being should have.Compared with his brother's indifference, it is simply not at the same level.

Anze finally took a deep breath, gently closed the folder, took out a check from his pocket, pushed it in front of Yu Minglang, and whispered: "The information is complete, this is the remaining payment."

Yu Minglang looked at Anze's ugly face, and said with some doubts: "I'm curious about one thing. Although this man named An Luo has the same name as your brother, he was born in southern China and has no blood relationship with your An family. , besides, he died more than 20 years ago, why are you investigating him?"

Anze was silent for a moment, then said, "It's nothing, let's call it a day."

Seeing that Anze obviously didn't want to say more, Yu Minglang stopped asking, took the check, smiled and said, "Okay, whoever you want to check in the future, please continue to look for me."

***

At dinner time, settle down in the apartment.

When Anze entered the door, he happened to run into Zhou Bizhen who was carrying a bag and was about to go out. Seeing her son's pale face, Zhou Bizhen stopped in her tracks and asked worriedly, "Anze, what's wrong with you?"

Anze shook his head, "It's okay."

Zhou Bizhen stretched out her hand and touched his forehead lightly, "Have a fever?"

Anze frowned, "It's probably a cold, just take some medicine, don't worry."

In Zhou Bizhen's heart, An Ze was very obedient and in good health since he was a child. In addition, he has been honed in the military academy for many years, and he has very strong endurance and perseverance. There is no need to worry about minor illnesses and pains.

Seeing that his expression was calm and he didn't look like something serious happened, Zhou Bizhen felt relieved and said, "Take some antipyretics and rest at home. I'll go to the company first."

Anze nodded: "Yes."

After watching his mother leave, Anze turned around and came to Grandpa's bedroom.

An Guangyao was sitting in a wheelchair, squinting his eyes, watching the Peking Opera skewers on the Chinese Opera Channel with great interest.

Seeing Anze push the door in, An Guangyao was a little surprised. He picked up the remote control and turned down the volume of the TV, and asked seriously, "Anze, why are you back? Where's your brother?"

Anze opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to explain it to his grandfather.

Grandpa's most beloved grandson is An Luo. If you tell him that the real An Luo is dead, even An Ze will not be able to accept such a cruel truth, let alone the 70-year-old man with heart disease in front of him.

Seeing that Anze was silent, An Guangyao couldn't help frowning, "Anze, what's going on? Didn't you go to protect your brother? Why did you come back suddenly?"

An Ze was silent for a moment, "Grandpa, don't worry, he's fine, An Yang has brought him to a very safe place."

An Guangyao was finally relieved. After looking at him for a while, he found that An Ze's face was very ugly. He couldn't help asking, "Are you worried? Come and sit down and talk to grandpa."

An Ze walked to An Guangyao's side and sat down. After a moment of silence, he whispered, "Grandpa, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Well, let's talk."

"I want to apply for early discharge from the army and go home to the company to help."

An Guangyao was stunned, "Why do you suddenly have such an idea? Don't you like staying in the military region very much?"

Anze said calmly: "There are too many things in the company, and my brother can't take care of them alone. I want to come back and share some for my brother. After all, the An family has a huge family business, and we can't entrust all the business to him alone. "

When Anze changed his report to the military academy, An Guangyao was very depressed. Now that he has finally figured it out, An Guangyao is of course very happy, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that you can think so. But, you have been in the army for a few years. And you have always performed well, and now you are leaving, don’t you feel regretful?”

Anze said in a low voice, "No, I've already thought it through." After a slight pause, he turned to look at An Guangyao, "Grandpa, what I'm worried about now is that the troops won't let you go. I remember you have a very good friend Over there, can he help with this matter?"

An Guangyao patted the back of Anze's hand with a smile, "Don't worry, Grandpa will take care of it for you."

***

In the middle of the night, Anze drove to the Xilin Military Region. The familiar scenery on the road made his eyes a little involuntarily sour.

I'm going to leave here soon, and it's easy to say, but in fact, Anze doesn't want to be here at all.

When An Ze deliberately changed his report to the military academy in order not to seize power with his brother, Anze never thought that one day he would voluntarily leave the army.In his view, soldiers who voluntarily apply to leave are like soldiers fleeing on the battlefield.For a soldier, giving up halfway is an indelible shame. He didn't even dare to face those comrades who fought side by side with him through life and death, and he didn't know how to explain to them why he quit halfway.

The reason why he chose to join the army was not to compete with An Luo for the An family's inheritance rights, but now he chooses to retire because he wants to get back the inheritance rights from An Luo's hands.

How ridiculous?

It was as ridiculous as reaching out and slapping myself hard.

In the past, Anze gave up everything to his brother. As long as it was something that his brother liked, he never snatched it, and he was even willing to give it with both hands.But now, this An Luo is no longer his beloved elder brother, but another cruel and cruel An Luo who was born in the underworld. It is impossible for An Ze to watch everything in the An family fall into his hands.

Taking the elevator to his residence, Anze took out his suitcase and began to pack his luggage silently. Except for some clothes, he actually had nothing to bring. The place he lives in has always been simple and tidy.

Anze took down the military uniform from the hanger, reached out and touched the badge on it... This military uniform is his favorite clothes, every time he wears it very carefully, his military uniform is always Neatly ironed and spotless, it is always like brand new, but in the future, there will be no chance to wear it again.

Anze folded the military uniform neatly and placed it gently on the bottom of the box.

Pulling up the suitcase, he looked around the small living room for the last time. In order to pick up his brother, he moved all the obstacles in the living room that might hinder the sliding of the wheelchair to the study room, so that the living room looked a bit empty.

In fact, he has never told anyone that the two weeks when he brought An Luo here to live here were the happiest days of his childhood.

At that time, he didn't know that An Luo had changed. He thought it was because his brother had changed his attitude towards him after amnesia. Sleeping on the same bed, occasionally you can be a little presumptuous, secretly holding your brother in your arms...

How happy I was at the time, how ironic I think now.

But even so, those few days of being together warmly are still Anze's best memories.

***

No one knows when Anze left, and no one knows why he left. Not long after, the Xilin Military Region suddenly announced the news of Anze's retirement. Anze, a young and outstanding soldier, left the crowd inexplicably. line of sight.

Some people said that they saw Anze one night.

Wearing a thin shirt and carrying a black suitcase, he stood at the gate of the Xilin Military Region, looking in the direction of the building in the distance.He stood there quietly for a long time, finally turned and left, disappeared into the night, never looked back.
