After being coveted by old men for many years, I quit

The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror, didn't reply, but complied.

Turning the steering wheel half a circle to the left, the car stopped firmly under the stairs.

Zhou Cheng took out the wallet from his backpack, "Thank you, how much is it?"

The driver reported the number.

Zhou Cheng took out a few banknotes from his wallet, and from the corner of his eye, he saw that there were only a few bills left in it, and his eyes darkened involuntarily.

Pay, get off.

The building under the night is still gorgeous and majestic, and the top is even straight into the sky, bordering on the boundless night.

Although the lights on most floors have been turned off, there are still many scattered windows that are lit up, mottled like stars dotted in the night sky.

Zhou Cheng looked up, and his mind suddenly came back to the first time he came here, looking at this building like this, when he was lamenting and sad because he was about to lose his free life.

But it happened only a few months ago, and when I think about it, those memories and feelings are so far away that it makes people feel ethereal.

He stood under the steps, picked up his mobile phone, and dialed a series of numbers... 5 minutes later.

Zhou Cheng took the elevator to the floor that Shen Yan told him on the phone.

He originally came here just to try his luck, thinking maybe Shen Yan was still handling He Xiao's case at the company, so he didn't go back so soon.

I didn't expect to let him touch it.

The elevator door slid open to both sides with a "ding", Zhou Cheng walked out of the elevator, walked through the corridor on the right side as the man said on the phone, came to a door, and knocked on the door.

After waiting outside the door for a few seconds, there was a sound of footsteps inside.

Immediately afterwards, the door was opened, revealing Shen Yan's slightly tired face.

Seeing that it was him, the man nodded feebly, with a formulaic smile on his face, "Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Cheng glanced past him and glanced at the office behind him. Several men in business attire were sitting around a small conference table. whisper.

Looks very busy.

Zhou Cheng pursed his lips, with a look of anxiety in his eyes, "Assistant Shen, I'm sorry to disturb you at this time, but I really can't do anything... Can you give me 10 minutes? I have something important to say tell you."

Shen Yan had already expected him to say that when he received his call.

"This one……"

He seemed to be embarrassed, with a tangled look on his face, and looked back at the busy people in his eyes, and finally turned his eyes back to Zhou Cheng's face for a moment, and he didn't ruthlessly refuse, "Okay."

The two came to another office, which seemed to be Shen Yan's own office.

Zhou Cheng sat down on the sofa, and Shen Yan made two cups of coffee before returning to the office.

Put one of the cups of coffee on the coffee table in front of him.

Knowing that time was running out, Zhou Cheng didn't dare to procrastinate, so he directly stated his intentions, "Assistant Shen, I know this matter is very difficult, and it's very difficult, but I really... can you fight for it?" Let me meet him?"

Shen Yan obviously expected his coming, and there was no surprise on his face.

He frowned slightly, and still said in a very embarrassed manner, "Mr. Zhou, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that there is nothing I can do. According to regulations, even family members are not allowed to visit during this time period. On this point, I I should have told you very clearly..." Zhou Cheng already had a premonition in his heart that this would be the result, but when he really heard it with his own ears, he still couldn't stop feeling unwilling.

He lowered his head, took a shallow breath, and clenched his lower lip with his upper teeth.

"However, if you insist..." At the end, the man's voice suddenly sounded again.

Zhou Cheng raised his head abruptly, a gleam of hope burst into his eyes, and he stared at the man without blinking.

Shen Yan was a little embarrassed by his look, and slowly took a sip of coffee with his lowered eyes, and then said softly, "I can try to communicate with the other side and find out, but this kind of thing... I believe you I also understand that there are strict rules and regulations, even if it is Mr. He's power, the possibility is very small, you have to be mentally prepared."

Zhou Cheng nodded emphatically, expressing his understanding, "I understand, then I will trouble you, Assistant Shen."

"You're welcome," Shen Yan lowered his eyes and rubbed the hot coffee cup in his hand, with a deep and helpless smile on the corner of his mouth, as if thinking of something, he murmured in a low voice, "I'm also... ..for Mr. He."

Zhou Cheng was still immersed in the joy just now, so that he didn't hear what he said later, a faint daze covered his face, "Sorry, I didn't hear clearly just now, can you repeat it?"

Shen Yan raised his eyes, a complex expression flashed in his eyes for a moment, and finally shook his head, "It's okay, if there is news tomorrow, I will notify you as soon as possible."

Zhou Cheng got up early in the morning and didn't sleep well all night. Seeing that the sky outside was bright, he simply got up.

After leaving the building last night, because he had nowhere to go, he randomly found a hotel nearby and stayed.

Just after washing, Shen Yan's phone call came unexpectedly.

He looked at the number noted on the screen, resisted his nervousness, and answered the phone, "Assistant Shen?"

"Mr. Zhou, where are you now? I have bought you a 10-minute interview with Mr. He. If you have time, come to the address I sent you right now."

Zhou Cheng's heart skipped a beat, his eyelashes twitched slightly, his lips couldn't help trembling and Zhang He said, "Okay... I see, I'll go over right away."

After half an hour.

Zhou Cheng spent the last bit of cash on his body, and rushed to the address Shen Yan sent to his mobile phone as quickly as possible.

It's not that hard to find, after all, a place like a detention center can be found with your eyes closed for a living map like a taxi driver.

Shen Yan and two other men in suits and briefcases were already waiting at the door. The three of them met, greeted briefly, and walked in together.

Zhou Cheng followed behind the three of them, his heart was beating like it was going to burst out of his chest, and he couldn't hear anything except his own heartbeat.Turning and turning all the way, the three of them came to a small building with three or four floors.

Shen Yan explained his purpose to the prison guards guarding the door, and showed the relevant items, and then went in under the leadership of the prison guards.

Entering the building, the temperature dropped almost immediately.

I was outside just now, and my body didn't feel cold in the sun, but now I'm going inside, and the cold breath soon swept my whole body.

Zhou Cheng followed a few people into the depths, and his Adam's apple slid up and down several times due to excessive tension.

The further he walked in, the more his body tensed up uncontrollably.

In the end, he strode his legs almost numbly, walking forward step by step.

Finally, several people came to an iron door.

The prison guard bent down and took the key to open the door. Zhou Cheng stood at the back, and through the hollow iron pipe on the door, he saw a sitting figure inside.

Because the distance was too far, he actually couldn't see very clearly, and all he saw was a vague silhouette.

But the nerves in his brain suddenly tensed up at this moment.

The door lock opened with a bang when the prison guard turned the key.

Shen Yan and the other two walked into the room first.

Zhou Cheng's feet seemed to be filled with lead, they were so heavy that he couldn't even lift them.

He took a step forward, and when he saw the glaring and bright orange prison uniform on that man's body, his eyes almost instantly filled with astringency.

The man raised his head and looked at him. His short black hair was shaved into stubble close to his scalp. He probably didn't have a good rest. There was a faint look of weariness between his handsome eyebrows and eyes.

Even though he was in prison, he still looked calm and calm, sitting there with a calm and calm demeanor.

Even the simple prison uniform on his body couldn't cover up his innate noble aura.

Seeing him, He Xiao's deep black eyes soon burst into a light smile, and his thin lips curled into a slight arc.

Zhou Cheng couldn't hold it back, the tip of his nose couldn't stop being sore, his chest was so uncomfortable that he was about to suffocate, he turned his head to wipe away the moisture overflowing from the corners of his eyes.Then he lowered his head and walked into the room.

Seeing him like this, Shen Yan felt somewhat touched in his heart, and couldn't bear to remind him in a low voice, "Mr. Zhou, there are only 10 minutes, and I hope you seize the time."

Zhou Cheng nodded, walked to the square table, pulled out the chair and sat down.

However, her eyes still dare not look at the man, and her lips are getting tighter and tighter.

The two sat opposite each other across a table, and no one made a sound for a while.

It was the man who first let out a chuckle from his throat, and Wen Sheng opened his mouth, "Don't you have something to tell me? Why don't you talk?"

Hearing the sound, Zhou Cheng raised his wet eyes, and caught them off guard into the man's deep eyes with a smile, then lowered his head again, curled up his fingers on his legs, and squeezed them into his palms.

"I'm sorry..." He Xiao looked at him, listening to his three words as thin as a mosquito's voice, the smile on his lips deepened, "I'm sorry for what?"

Zhou Cheng took a deep breath, as if mustering up his courage, raised his head, and met the man's always gentle eyes.

"I'm sorry... I took the USB flash drive in your study and gave it to He Minnan."

The air was silent for a second.

Zhou Cheng looked at the man's handsome face who seemed to have no change in expression, his heart became more and more anxious, and his mind went blank, "I know what I say now is useless, it is my ignorance that caused today's situation, I know what I said A hundred sentences, ten thousand sentences of sorry, nothing can be redeemed... But, I am really sorry."

He Xiao didn't seem to have any particularly unexpected expression on his face from the beginning to the end. He heard him blame himself and said everything sadly, his eyes looked at him cautiously, and there was always a faint smile on his thin lips.

For a long time, so long that it seems like a century has passed.

It was so long that Zhou Cheng felt that the man probably didn't know what else to say about it.

But he heard him say slowly, "I know."
