Confrontation in the abyss

"Yes."

"Anything else?"

"Yes. I want my old face back."

Liszt thought for two seconds and nodded, "Well, indeed, Dean Yang's face will cause you unnecessary trouble when performing tasks."

"Thank you boss!" Zhou Choo's heart suddenly widened.

Walking out of the office, Leila was already waiting for him.

"Has the head agreed?"

"I agree, and I have half a year more vacation to get my original face back."

"Ah, why? How seductive is this face now."

"Whether we're on a mission or on the catwalk, what's the use of having a good-looking face?"

Zhou Cho's phone vibrated, and when he clicked on it, he saw a message from an unfamiliar number: Congratulations on returning to the place you want to go.

Zhou Cho twitched his lips and deleted the text message.

This morning, Young held a press conference to announce Dean Young's death.It was a great pity in New York society that such a radiant young man was gone.It's a pity that this kind of regret will not last more than one morning. At a certain celebrity banquet that night, there were still a lot of wine and wine.Originally, this world didn't mean that the earth wouldn't turn if someone left.

"Layla," Zhou Choo sat at his desk and flipped through the newspaper, "I'm a little curious about what my funeral will be like."

"You won't?" Leila turned her head sideways, "You want to go and see?"

"That's right." Zhou Choo's eyes were filled with childishness, "Go and see who is really sad and who is just going through the motions to me."

Leila rolled her eyes, "You're so busy."

"No way, I made an appointment with the doctor for surgery next week, and I am about to bid farewell to Dean Yang's life. Don't I need to mourn?"

"Well, be careful yourself, don't be found out. Otherwise, if people say that Dean Yang cheated on the corpse, I don't care about you."

Zhou Cho wore sunglasses and changed into a long black trench coat and went to the senior cemetery where Dean Yang was buried.

The grass is green and the wind is shining and the sun is warm.Wearing a motorcycle helmet, Zhou Chou squatted down in front of the tombstone far away from the burial ceremony with a lily in his hand, placed the lily in front of the tombstone, and listened to the priest's prayer with a smile on his face.

Yang Jin's expression was very sad, it was not faked.

There are Yang's executives behind them, and everyone's expression is very solemn.Zhou Zhao knew that the reason for their solemnity was not Dean's death, but because they were afraid that the Yang family would change again after Dean's death, and they didn't know what their fate would be.Eva wore a long black dress, elegant and graceful, as if she wanted to show her best look in front of Dean.A silver starfish was pinned in her hair, which was tied behind her head.In the past, Zhou Cho only felt that she was not at all like a woman of that age, but today she has a mature charm.Beside her stood Anson.

This guy is still good at acting, dressed in pure black, such a simple and old-fashioned design is complemented by his figure, and he is actually very personable.His expression was serene, without much sadness, but that serenity seemed to be gazing at a pool of stagnant water, which made his sorrow seem restrained and sincere.

Carter Lippmann has been patient.He had always disliked Dean, but now that this guy died in a car accident, he was too happy to come to the funeral.No way, whoever wants Dean to be of great significance to Eva and Anson, he still has to put it on, he rolls his eyes and looks at the pastor from time to time, depressed that his prayers are stinky and long.Seeing how hard he was enduring, Zhou Zhao almost couldn't laugh out loud while hiding behind the motorcycle helmet.

But Ma Lin, who was standing beside Yang Jin, kept his head down.Zhou Cho's eyesight was very good, and he saw that his shoulders were trembling violently.

Zhou Cho felt a little uncomfortable. Marin's personality was kind but cowardly.I can no longer protect him by my side, I hope he can protect himself in the future.

That guy William Goodwin came too.Although he was not sad, the regret in his eyes was real.

Zhou Cho was very curious, what is this guy regretting?In the future, I will have more opportunities to meet him face to face.Now there is only one behind-the-scenes shareholder of MASSIVE. I am afraid that William will have more frequent contact with that mysterious person, and Leslie is busy.

The funeral is over and a group of guests leave.

Zhou Cho also turned around, and just stepped on the motorcycle at the gate of the cemetery, a black car stopped beside him.

The car window was rolled down, and it turned out that Eva was sitting in it.

"Dean, long time no see."

Zhou Chou paused, unexpectedly, he was recognized by Aiwa at a glance, "Long time no see, Aiwa. How did you recognize me?"

"I remember your walking posture." Eva smiled and made a gesture to ask Zhou Choo to take off the helmet.

"No, I'm already 'dead', it would be miserable if people see me alive."

Eva sneered, "It's the first time in my life to attend the funeral of a living person."

Zhou Cho could only laugh dryly.

"I was very worried when I heard that you had a car accident." Eva took a breath, "After hearing that you were 'stolen' from the hospital, I knew that the Dean Yang I knew no longer existed. "

Zhou Cho was silent.

"I have many ways to know your true identity. But I still want to hear you tell me yourself."

"...My name is Zhou Cho, I'm a member of Interpol's New York branch, and Dean Yang is my cover identity. My mission...I think you know."

"Fortunately, your goal is MASSIVE, what if it's me?" Eva asked.

"You're Eva Hofsky. I'm an Interpol officer."

"Good answer." Eva took a breath, "I hope we will never become enemies."

"Before then, we are still friends." Zhou Choo answered without any hesitation.

"My friend, take care." Eva rolled up the car window and left.

A few days later, Zhou Cho lay on the operating table.He knew in his heart that it was impossible for his face to return to the original Zhou Choi.Several months later, when the bandages were removed one by one, Zhou Cho was still pleasantly surprised.

At least he was holding the original old passport, no one would suspect that it was two people.

Zhou Cho stood in the bathroom of the ward, looking at himself in the mirror for a long time.Leila walked into the ward, leaning against the door and bursting into laughter.

"God, when I first saw you, you were handsome like a movie star with Dean Yang's face on your face. Now... my handsome man is gone..." Leila looked tangled look.

"Tch, the charm of a man does not come from the face!" Zhou Tiao touched his cheekbones and his chin, still a little dissatisfied, because to become like Dean, one must cut the bones, so some places are changed. will not come.

"You keep looking in the mirror admiring yourself, and you're about to turn into a daffodil."

Zhou Cho returned to the room, and Leslie was already sitting sideways on the edge of the ward, flipping through a newspaper.

"Hey Leslie, look how I'm doing."

Leslie looked up and looked at Zhou Choo for a long time.

"Well, I remember." Then he lowered his head and continued to read the newspaper.

Leila laughed, "In Leslie's heart, it doesn't matter what you look like. Everyone's face is just a symbol to him. He has clearly remembered your face, and it will be nice to look at when he goes on missions in the future. Don't admit your mistake!"

Zhou Cho curled his lips, "Layla, you are too superficial."

"Originally, Dean's face is so handsome, women will post it upside down. Don't men like women to post upside down?"

"Oh, when I was Dean, I didn't see you posting it upside down!"

"Wouldn't it be nice now?" Leslie closed the newspaper.

"Ah! Sure enough, there is a tacit understanding between men!" Zhou Cho put his arms on Leslie's shoulders, "Look at my face now, how manly I am."

"I just think the way you look now fits your personality. It's simple and understated, but you can show your sharpness when the time is right."

"Yeah! Let's go and drink some beer to celebrate that I finally got my face back and got out of the hospital."

The three of them came to a bar, drank beer, ate French fries and fried squid, and watched the ongoing football league live broadcast with a group of people.

"Zhou Cho, you'll have your own team soon. I've specially asked you to be the deputy team leader of your team. How about it, enough to take care of you." Leila clinked glasses with him.

"Come on, if you don't come to my new group, you will never be able to make it if you are suppressed by your new female boss in the original group." Zhou Choo teased her mercilessly.

"I'm kind...and I'm used to cooperating with you. You get into trouble, and I'll worry about you later." Leila gave him a blank look, then raised her eyebrows at Leslie, "The most important thing is that You, the team leader, Leslie's information processing team will definitely think about us first. Only in this way can we be safe."

Zhou Choo lowered his head and smiled, "By the way, I want to visit Gwen's wife in a few days. His daughter seems to be going to middle school."

"Yeah." Mentioning Gwen, Leila also fell silent.

"I won't let anything like Gwen happen to you."

Leslie's words surprised Laila a bit. This team leader has always been indifferent, and the other task teams don't like to get along with him very much, even though his information collection and processing speed is the fastest.But he and Zhou Cho had an accidental agreement.Not to mention that what he just said was a promise.

In the evening, Leslie and Leila took his luggage out of the hospital for him, and they sent Zhou Chou to the newly rented apartment.

"Wow, the rent for this apartment is quite high!" Zhou Cho showed a tongue-tied expression. He entrusted Leslie to find this apartment for him.

"It's a little more expensive than what you used to live in, but now the price has risen." Leslie said the number, which was much cheaper than Zhou Chou imagined.

"Because this apartment has just been renovated and has a strong smell, so the rent is not very expensive. I specially sprayed the photocatalyst, and it is also ventilated." Leslie carried the luggage to the bedroom and helped Zhou Choo hang it.

"No wonder you can't smell paint at all! I've got a great deal at this price!"

"You used to eat well and live well in Yang's, and I was worried that you would not get used to it!" Leila turned on the TV and sat on the sofa to enjoy it, not forgetting to tease him.

When Zhou Cho walked into the bathroom, he realized that the bath towel, mug, toothbrush, even razor and aftershave were all ready inside.Zhou Cho couldn't help laughing, Leslie is just like that.

"I'm going to meet your team members in a few days, team leader, are you excited?" Leila lost all temperament, and casually took off her shoes and nestled on the sofa.

"I'm not experienced enough, so I'm afraid people won't accept me." Zhou Tuo sighed.

"What are you afraid of? Eat well and sleep well. You are the team leader. They are afraid of you, not you. Our Interpol is also disciplined."

In the evening, after Leila and Leslie had left, Zhou Chou lay on the bed alone.His life is about to return to the right track, and he has some expectations in his heart.

He casually took the newspaper on the table, and when he came across a piece of news, a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.

It's Marin. He is the winner of Yang's jewelry design award this quarter, and he is now a well-known rising star in the jewelry design industry.

The name of the jewelry he won the award is "Butterfly Garden". In an interview, he said that the inspiration for the design came from a visit to the Butterfly Garden in Sri Lanka with the deceased Dean.

"That time, I saw Mr. Yang kissing the wings of a butterfly. I really want to keep the beauty of that moment forever."

And "Butterfly Garden" was purchased and collected by Anson Lorenzo at a sky-high price.

When Zhou Cho saw the last sentence of the report, he felt that all his good moods were wasted.

After the vacation was over, Zhou Cho returned to the New York branch of Interpol.His office was used by Gwen before, and sitting in this position, he felt mixed feelings.

The new team members walked in. There were five people in total, three of whom were very young, Miles, Gene and Jones.

They were very surprised when they learned that the new team leader was an Asian youth who was not yet 30 years old.

When it comes to such things as racial discrimination, they ask themselves, they always feel that white people, even African-Americans, are better off in the organization than a yellow person, but if Zhou Chou is able to sit in the position of team leader, then there must be something wrong. where people are.

Miles was a bit ruffian. I heard that he had been an undercover agent in a certain transnational gang for more than two years. Although it was not long, his ruffian style could not be changed.But Zhou Cho doesn't like him like this.

"Hey, Boss, hello, I'm Miles... People on the road call me Black Rat, but you can call me Black Rat, Boss, I'm afraid I won't be able to respond when you call me by my name." He just said After finishing speaking, Leila on the side burst out laughing.
