daytime firefly

"Xiao Zhou, go buy a bottle of dark soy sauce, and bring two heads of garlic."

The old lady's words sounded at the same time as the knock on the door. Xu Zhi came back to his senses and realized that he and Zhou Jianming were about to kiss each other, so he cleared his throat and said softly, "I'll go with you."

Zhou Jianming didn't say anything for a while, and didn't move his place. He only waited for Xu Zhi to look at him again before saying, "Wait for me at home."

Xu Zhi didn't get out of bed, and watched Zhou Jianming put on a padded jacket and go out. A gust of cold wind gushed in through the crack of the door. The old lady probably went back to the house. Xu Zhi didn't see anyone, so he lifted the quilt and shrank half of his body. go in.

10 minutes, 10 minutes, half an hour, Xu Zhi was drowsy with his mobile phone in his hand.

When the old lady came to ask him to eat, Xu Zhi almost fell into a dream. After waking up, he slowly sat up, "Grandma, is Zhou Jianming back?"

"I'm back," the old lady said, "I'm leaving again. I said I have something to do and I'll let you wake up before going back."

Xu Zhi was annoyed for no reason. He couldn't figure out how he could disappear even after he chased him home. Xu Zhi got dressed and went to the next door. He didn't plan to eat anymore. At the same time, he reprimanded the passing train overhead. For example, what is the noise, are you able to run, and so on.

The taillights of the car passed Zhou Jianming's brick house and returned to the city from the eastern suburbs. Not long after, the old lady came out of the house, locked the door, and walked along a small road at a faster pace.

When Xu Zhi bought this car, it was no different from going to the supermarket to buy toilet paper, but he found a few favorites on the website in advance, and picked the one that was close to him to pick up the car the next day, but since the last time the car was assed After being hit, it's probably similar to the snake and the well rope. Xu Zhi drove a little longer, always suspicious, sometimes speeding up and sometimes slowing down.

It's the same now, he looked away from the rearview mirror, reached out and turned on the stereo, and soft music played, Xu Zhi felt better.

And tens of meters behind him, a huge Lincoln commercial vehicle was driving unhurriedly in the traffic flow. Blood dripped from Zhou Jianming's forehead, covering his face.

At this moment, a man came over with a handkerchief and wiped away the blood stains on his eyelids, "Does it hurt so much blood?"

Zhou Jianming couldn't move, because two strong men clasped his arms behind his back on the left and right, and the man in front of him wiped the blood from his eyes, which made his vision clear again.

"Hey, there is Lawyer Xu in front," the man stepped aside and pointed in the direction of the front windshield, "The car is quite new, just like Lawyer Xu, it is well maintained."

Zhou Jianming saw the rear of Xu Zhi's car. At this moment, the two strong men felt that they were about to be unable to contain him.

"You should think clearly in there, how come it's been almost 48 hours since you came out, and you still act like a normal person?"

Zhou Jianming just stared at the front without saying a word. The man laughed softly, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. After the other end connected, he said, "We're almost there, get ready."

Zhou Jianming looked at him fiercely, "Liang An!"

"There are still 5 minutes. After passing the red light, at the next intersection, a truck is arranged for Lawyer Xu. Just in time, you can watch him...go to hell with your own eyes."

Liang An raised his hand and glanced at his watch, as if he was timing, then leaned back on the chair, and looked ahead in the same posture as Zhou Jianming.

Xu Zhi's car stopped at a red light, and the tunes in the car were changed several times. When the light turned green, he let off the brakes, and Lincoln behind him slowly followed.

When getting closer to the next intersection, Liang An glanced at his watch again, "Zhou Jianming, didn't we agree that you bring me something, and I will make Junzi confess his guilt, and you will never be involved in the murder. How could you go back on such a simple matter?"

Time passed by, and when Zhou Jianming saw the red light at the intersection ahead, he suddenly broke free from the shackles of the two strong men. The movement was so fast that they had no time to react. He had already pulled Liang An off the chair and blocked him. Between himself and the two of them, in the cramped space of the commercial vehicle, the key in Zhou Jianming's hand had already pierced Liang An's neck with dark red blood.

At this moment, the car stopped slowly again. Zhou Jianming couldn't see the red light and didn't know when the countdown would be, so he just said to him, "I'll make a choice for you too."

Liang An didn't seem to feel any pain, and Zhou Jianming locked his neck from behind like this, and the emotions on his face didn't fluctuate much.

Zhou Jianming raised his chin, "You, take my phone and press 1."

One of the burly men found an old-fashioned push-button mobile phone on the chair, pressed 1 again with Liang An's tacit consent, and quickly dialed a call, which was quickly answered. He turned on the speaker, and only heard That first conversation—

"Officer, I picked up something, I think it's better to give it to you."

"Old man, what did you find?"

"I, I'll find it for you..."

"Zhou Jianming!" Liang An quickly realized something, and suddenly became excited, "Fuck you," after speaking, he also made a phone call and simply said the word 'withdraw'.

When the red light counted down, Xu Zhi started the car again, turned the steering wheel, and drove away steadily from the large truck waiting at the red light on the left.

The old man took out his mobile phone and put it to his ear. After listening for a while, he smiled apologetically at the police officer in front of him, "I'm old and confused. I can't find what I picked up."

"Old man, come to the police station to find us if you have anything to do in the future, it's okay."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Lincoln got out of Xu Zhi's car and took another road. The car was parked on the side of a sparsely populated road. Zhou Jianming took Liang An out of the car, "Let them go first."

Liang An's expression was gloomy, and he only slightly nodded his chin. The car door closed before his eyes and drove away.

"Zhou Jianming, I know you can fight, but you have no brains," Liang An said nonchalantly, "Can you hide through tonight or later?"

"I don't care, don't touch Xu Zhi, he loses a hair, and I will make that thing appear in the place you absolutely don't want it to appear in the next second."

The strange thing is that when Zhou Jianming said this, he let go of Liang An. The other party rubbed his neck and turned to face him. He didn't intend to fight for a while, but said, "When you first came to Jiangbei, for a bun you Fighting with a stray dog, why is it a soft persimmon now? It's so fucking ugly."

"You can do it now," Zhou Jianming said, "Xu Zhi'an, you, everything behind you, is safe." After speaking, he left, as if he didn't care whether Liang An agreed with his proposal.

------

Xu Zhi returned home, turned on the TV and went straight to the bathroom. When he came out of the shower, there were no unread messages on the phone. He was still a little angry and turned off the phone angrily.

Later, he fell asleep on the sofa in a daze. In the living room, there was only a beam of light fading out from the TV screen. He didn't know that someone sat by his door for the whole night.

It was just dawn when the old lady opened the door and ran into Zhou Jianming who had just walked to the door. She just glanced at him and said, "Go and change clothes first."

Zhou Jianming obediently went back to the house, and when he had changed his clothes, the old lady came again, carrying a red plastic bag in her hand, which contained some common trauma medicines.

Zhou Jianming sat at the table and was greeted by the old lady with medicine before he heard her say, "You have to move."

"fine."

"...I see that child, he looks good and is well dressed. How did you know him?"

"He is teaching in the mountains."

The old lady nodded half-understanding, "You have your reasons for protecting him. I received your call yesterday and asked me to dispatch what you said. Did it work?"

Zhou Jianming hummed, "Did he not eat yesterday?"

"No, you're not here. He woke up and left, but how can you explain your injury to him?"

Zhou Jianming didn't talk to him. He thought that Xu Zhi might be used to it, so he would just babble a few words at most. If he didn't want to hear his babble, then he wouldn't see him for a few days.

The downstairs of the Yuehai Group was full of people again, and all the security guards went to battle and built a human wall to block the gate. Xu Zhi passed by until he parked his car and got on. There were more and more people.

In the office of the legal department, as soon as Xu Zhi entered, the few people who spoke were silent. Fortunately, Xu Zhi had a good eye, and he took out a few cups of coffee that he bought before he came, and distributed a cup to each of them. "Come on, yours."

Wang Jie took it over, "Thank you."

Xu Zhifa sat back at his workstation, "It's very lively downstairs."

"It's good to get used to it. There will always be troubles every two days." Wang Jie said.

"It doesn't look like I'm here for Mr. Zhang."

"That's for finance." Wang Jie got up and closed the office door. "If something happens to the subsidiary company, if it can't be solved, they will come here."

"Which subsidiary?"

"Meiyue," Chen Chen, who was sitting on Xu Zhi's left, interjected, "Meiyue is mainly engaged in development, and if something happens on the construction site, they can't take responsibility there, so the workers come here."

When Xu Zhi heard this, he became curious, "You seem to be familiar with it?"

"It's really nothing surprising. You've been in the law firm for a long time, unlike us who are stationed in the company and are always cleaning the company's ass."

Xu Zhi was not surprised by what she said. Generally, the legal counsel hired by the company has to work in the company, mainly reviewing whether the contract process and the like are legal and compliant. They only need to understand the opinions of high-level officials and issue legal documents.

In the two days since Xu Zhi joined the company, people were still curious about how a serious barrister condescends to work in a company, even if he is hired as a consultant, it is better than this. Xu Zhi replied that he was down and out. , Coupled with that regretful look, these few probably believed it too.

After get off work in the afternoon, those people were still there, but they were tired from shouting all day, sitting scattered on the steps of the door, Xu Zhi was driving by, and Ping Bokuan's voice was on the phone——

"We checked that private kitchen, and Yu Haili did go there by herself, every time."

"That……"

"However, your intuition is indeed accurate. There are two bosses in that private kitchen, one is the head chef, and the other is your current boss, Tan Xiao."

Xu Zhi's car slowed down, and a Lincoln passed by. Tan Xiao sat in the back seat, staring at the screen in his hand intently, and Xu Zhi's heartbeat accelerated at that moment, "Today there are workers making trouble downstairs in the company, it seems Something happened to the subsidiary company, I will send you the address later."

"Well, don't rush in, just tell me what you find out."

"I know, where is Xinghe Lane, have you gone?"

"I've been there." After finishing speaking, there was no more text.

Xu Zhi thought, maybe he didn't find anything, and didn't ask any more questions, so he hung up the phone hastily.

Yu Haili and Li Ziran's mother, Yu Haili and Tan Xiao, Xu Zhi thought about it, and felt that it was almost time, as long as he found out this line, he could get out of the sea.

Di-

A long honking of the car horn suddenly sounded, Xu Zhi slammed on the brakes, and almost rear-ended again. The distance to the car in front was estimated to be the thickness of a finger. The car thanked him, and the co-pilot suddenly threw something at his window, and it landed on Xu Zhi's lap in an arc.
