Balancing

There are so many dark corners in a city as bright as it is, and those filthy, filthy dirt are always hidden in the corners and crevices invisible to the human eye.

Leng Feng stood in front of a translucent floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the buildings, frowning tightly, holding the phone in his hand, with a dignified expression: "Yes, continue, I want to know all his movements."

His figure cast a faint shadow in front of the big window, and his fingers wrote the word 'Jian Ming' stroke by stroke on the glass.

Sunday, rain.

Dark clouds broke through on the road, raindrops lined up one after another, the front wipers swayed from side to side, and the blurry and clear process repeated in front of Jian Ming's eyes over and over again. He was a little uneasy, would the mysterious person keep the agreement and call him at [-] noon?He's not sure.When he woke up in the morning, he suddenly remembered that there was a recording device in the office. He glanced at the bad weather outside, picked up the car keys and went out.

Along the way, Jian Ming went over the questions that he had thought about last night in his mind again. The questions the other party would ask, the conditions he would raise, and how to deal with him had already prepared a draft. At this moment, he seemed not afraid of unknown dangers. How much of it is true or false is unknown now, everything is surrounded by clouds and mists, and it seems that we can only know what is ahead by walking down.

The office building on Sunday was very deserted, and the guard on duty was not as energetic as usual. He sat with his head drooping and swiped his mobile phone at the reception area of ​​the lobby. Jian Ming didn't lift his head when he passed by. It was really cold. Ming felt the chill on the back of his neck, and when the elevator door opened, a gust of evil wind blew him violently into a sneeze.

"The temperature is low today, and young people wear too little." A voice suddenly sounded behind him, sounding like a middle-aged man.

Jian Ming admitted that he was a little startled, and wondered that there was no one around him when he walked all the way to the elevator.

He turned his head, and behind him was a tall, thin man with a green and black beard that had just emerged, and a middle-aged man with a hunchback who was looking at him kindly and smiling, "...er...you are... talking to me?" Jian Ming Want to double check.

"It seems to be just the two of us, right? Haha..." The man seemed to find Jian Ming's question funny. "Do you want to get on?" He raised his chin towards the open elevator.

"Oh, thank you." Seeing that the elevator door was about to close, Jian Ming hurriedly tapped the up button and stepped into the elevator.Turning around, he saw that the man was still standing at the door, and asked curiously, "Sir, are you going up?" Jian Ming kept pressing the door button inside the elevator with his finger, looking at him politely and slightly suspiciously.

"No, I'll take the even-numbered elevator, thank you." The man always spoke with a kind smile and a friendly face. Jian Ming nodded when he heard the words, and responded with a smile. He moved his fingers away, and the door slowly closed. The man kept looking at him with the same expression until the elevator door was completely closed.

There was a trace of curiosity in Jian Ming's heart. He always felt that the man's smile seemed to be expressing something, but he lowered his head and thought for a while, and soon stopped guessing. There are nearly a thousand companies in this building. It is normal to meet each other and say hello. , Maybe it's because I'm too nervous today, so I'm paranoid about everything.

Near noon, Jian Ming looked at the clock on the wall with complicated thoughts, wanting it to go faster but afraid that it would go too fast.He was not in the mood to go out for food, so he casually took a box of instant noodles from under the file cabinet and made some.

"You are my little butterfly, and I am your little Ah Fei..." Lu Heng's low, sexy little voice came out from the phone, with no soundtrack or accompaniment, pure a cappella version.The noodles in Jian Ming's hand almost fed the floor. What the hell is this? He looked at the screen, and the singer himself called.

"You'd better tell me honestly what you did to my phone." Jian Ming asked.

"What's the matter, it's so fierce." Lu Heng was in the team's indoor training room. Due to the rain, all the people who usually train outdoors gathered here, and the noise from the phone was loud. "Oh... Did you hear the ringtone I set for you? I recorded it yesterday. Are you surprised?"

"What's the surprise? What are you doing? How do you tell me to turn on the sound in public? Also, when did you use my phone yesterday? Why don't I know." Jian Ming lost his mood for eating noodles, even the cassette tape Throwing the face on the table, the person lay down on the chair, looking helpless.

"Didn't you ask me to find you a Crayon Shin-chan movie yesterday... you just sent me home on the way..."

Jian Ming interrupted him, "In the car?" He recalled for a few seconds, "I recorded it when I got out of the car to refuel?" Only during this time the phone was in the hands of that guy, and he left.

"Um.."

"Lu Heng, can you be more mature? Don't do such childish things in the future, okay?" Jian Ming was a little annoyed. He was already in a bad mood, but after being stimulated by Lu Heng, his tone was not polite.

"This ringtone will only ring for calls from me. If you don't like it, delete it." Lu Heng's voice was cold, without any emotion. "I'm calling to tell you that I will go to your house after get off work. The two matching bedside tables presented by the furniture factory will be delivered in the afternoon. I have been in touch with you. I will go to meet you. It is raining outside, so you can stay at home." Don't run away."

Jian Ming held the phone for a long time without speaking, his eyes were closed tightly, and his chest was tight.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be so angry. Don't worry, you won't do this kind of thing again. You can rest. I'll hang up." Lu Heng didn't wait for an answer, and then he picked up the phone after speaking in a low voice.When Jian Ming heard the beeping busy tone from the microphone, his temples throbbed with pain.

After closing his eyes and resting for a while, he woke up and looked at the time again. It was half an hour past 12 o'clock, and the disturbing phone call hadn't come yet. Jian Ming's face suddenly darkened, and he couldn't help being frustrated. Yes, he was very annoyed. Very disappointed!

One afternoon, he woke up on that reclining chair. He was extremely tired, his limbs were limp, and his head was heavy. He was sure that he had a fever, and it was probably not low. He was about to get up and go home while he still had strength. , The phone that had been silent all afternoon rang.

Lu Heng didn't talk nonsense. Except for him, the other incoming calls still had the original traditional ringtone, which was very harsh and urgent. I never thought this ringtone was so unpleasant, too unpleasant.

"Hello" the voice was very hoarse, Jian Ming was a little confused at the moment, he pressed answer without looking at the call, maybe he didn't expect to receive that person's call anymore.

"Sorry, there was an emergency at 12 o'clock, so I didn't call you. Kid, are you still alone now?"

Damn, the recording pen, the recording pen is not turned on yet.

Jian Ming stood up staggeringly, rushed to the table and picked up the recording pen he had prepared earlier, then pretended to be calm, turned on the recording, turned on the handset of the mobile phone, took a deep breath, and said: "Yes, I have been waiting for your call .”

"Very good, I'm very satisfied with your attitude towards this matter." The sound from the voice changer was very strange, like a child, and like Donald Duck with a broken throat.

Jian Ming held his breath, afraid that his panting breath would reveal his nervousness, "What should I call you? Since we want to make a deal, I must have a specific partner."

"Just call me a big friend. You are a child, and I am a big friend." The other party paused and asked, "Little friend, how did you think about my proposal last time?"

Jian Ming knew it would be like this, how could it be possible for someone who can even disguise his voice to say his name so easily. "Well, I've thought about it. For the time being, I believe what you said last time and I'm willing to trade, but the amount of 500 million you want is too big. I really can't give it to you at once. I have a proposal. What do you think?" Listen to me, big friend."

The other party was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "Tell me first."

The corner of Jian Ming's mouth twitched, feeling that he could think clearly and speak so clearly while having a fever, which is really worthy of praise. "Look, you haven't given me anything now, and I still don't know anything about what happened back then. You have to see the goods first, don't you? Actually, I own real estate in the United States. After selling it, what do you say? The number is not difficult, but it takes time to get it out. Now I only have 50 in cash. To show my sincerity, I can give it to you first, but at the same time you must tell me the truth about my parents' incident back then. As for the biological I don’t want to take the scientific and technological research report, and that valuable ingredient list, but you can give it to me after the full payment is paid.” How could Jian Ming have real estate in the United States? , he blushed involuntarily. "What do you think of this?"

"Hahahaha..." There was a burst of sinister laughter from the phone.

"Children Jian Ming, don't forget that I am a big friend. Do you think big friends will be fooled by children? I always have one set of things. The truth and the ingredient list cannot be separated. It seems that you are delaying time. I told you You, my time is precious, I don't have time to talk to you, the little money I want is a drop in the bucket compared to the benefits that many people get from it, or do you think your parents' lives are not worth the price?"

Jian Ming broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't know if he was hallucinating. Seeing that the decorations in the office were spinning, he tried hard to control them, and he grabbed the corner of the table so hard that his fingertips turned white.

"I said that I agree with this price, but you asked me to give you 500 million at a time without knowing anything. What kind of deal is this? To be honest, I only trust you for the time being, not absolutely. The thing in my hand must be of value only to me, why can't we both take a step back?" Jian Ming was so dizzy that he slid along the table to the ground.

He talked too much in one breath, his throat was so dry that he couldn't even swallow his saliva. He covered the sound hole of his phone, coughed twice, and touched the water glass on the table with his backhand.

In Jian Ming's words, there was obviously some fluctuation at the other end, and he was silent for a long time, "I really don't have much time, I hope you don't lie to me, I can give in, you give me 50, and I will tell you the truth back then, But I will not hand over the relevant evidence, when will you pay the money and I will give it to you together with the ingredient list."

It's not fucking easy.Jian Ming finally understands why Lu Heng always loves to be rude. Sometimes there is really no better way to describe his mood than those vulgar words.

"Okay...how do you want to tell me...how can I give you money?" Jian Ming pulled off his glasses, pressed his forehead with his hand, his eyes were scarlet.

"When I receive the money, I will send a courier to your clinic. There is a USB flash drive in it. You will know everything when you open it." The voice came out hurriedly, as if running, "You prepare the cash, I will pay for it in a few days Contact you." The phone was disconnected, Jian Ming held the phone, leaned and fell to the ground.

Lu Heng came to Jian Ming's new residence with a calm and ugly face. After the workers brought the things and put them away, he stared at the room alone, with mixed feelings. It's the humiliation of being torn off by someone. This person is still a baby bump that I hold in my heart. Maybe if you like someone, your heart will soften, and you will know it hurts when you become soft.

Suddenly wanting to smoke, he pulled out a mouthpiece, touched his pocket, lying down, where is the lighter?If you can't find a lighter at this time, you will die.

Lu Heng hoped that there would be a miracle in Jian Ming's house. He searched on the shoe counter and rummaged in the combination cabinet, but found no hair. He sighed and was about to close the last cabinet door when he glanced at a large envelope. It was a thick stack, it couldn't be money, the money was longer than the envelope, this large square envelope successfully aroused Lu Heng's curiosity and overcame the addiction to cigarettes, he put the cigarette behind his ear and picked up the envelope.

To see or not to see?Lu Heng struggled for a few seconds, but in the end he made a quick decision, and a stack of photos of him and Jian Ming as a couple jumped into view.

Lu Heng was shocked. Based on his years of experience in the police force, these photos were taken secretly by stalking. Someone was secretly afraid of him and Jian Ming. Who?What's the purpose?He flipped it back and forth, and slowly put the photo back in place. His face became serious for a moment, his eyes stared at it coldly and deeply, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The sky was getting dark and the lights were not turned on in the room. After half a century of stupor, Lu Heng finally raised his head, took a deep breath, turned around, picked up the coat on the sofa and went out.

He didn't go back, but came to the home of Jian Ming and Jiang Luchuan.

Standing in the corridor, Lu Heng dialed the Nth number. Jian Ming's phone was connected, but he just didn't answer.He rushed directly to the door of Jian Ming's house shamelessly.

no one? ?

When he ran to the parking lot and found that the car was not there, Lu Heng panicked a little.

Where did you go?Where can he go in this rainy day?

Thinking of those photos, Lu Heng's heart suddenly rose to his throat, fear and worry suddenly surged up and suddenly occupied his entire brain.

Yes, and Baichuan?He just had a flash of thought, and his legs ran out first.

It must be in Baichuan, Lu Heng kept hinting to himself that he will be fine, he will be fine...

This time he went to the parking lot first, saw Jian Ming's car, he was half relieved, this person is really in the office, and deliberately did not answer his phone, Lu Heng felt that he would definitely lose his temper on the spot, and he also made up his mind never Will endure, this decision collapsed in an instant when he rushed into Jian Ming's office and saw the motionless body on the ground.

In this life, if someone asks Lu Heng when he was closest to death, he will answer very firmly, this moment.

The author has something to say: The hot pot banquet has a small episode, just after this chapter or two.Let's wait and see how Sister Fei will fight the land police officer. ~mighty~

☆、Small episodes—hot pot articles

Chen Fei simmered in the pot of "eat without taste" all night, Haidilao didn't catch anything, but swung a Chaoyang heart to the bottom of the sea.

She scratched her head and didn't understand why the male god in her heart would bring the patients from the consultation center, so she just brought them. Lu Heng's handsome and handsome appearance is also a sight, but Miss Chen is not happy at all now, she wishes Lu Heng could It disappeared immediately, and the resentment in my heart quickly broke through the sky.

Originally, two pleasing people sat opposite her, especially against Dr. Lu, who was only 170 tall and looked a little anxious, it was supposed to be a moving picture of beauty and food, but Chen Fei really wanted to ask Lu Heng , have you found your long-lost brother?Does the male god Jane have no hands?Do you cook all the dishes you need, and then carefully dip the seasonings and put them on his plate?

Chen Fei regretted it very much at the moment, why didn't she stop Jian Ming's request for a little while.

Jian Ming himself doesn't like hot pot very much, but based on everyone's opinions, Chen Fei mainly chose this place, and he didn't eat much. It seems that he hasn't put down his chopsticks yet, and all the food he ate was prepared by Lu Heng.

"By the way, Dr. Lu, you are so young, why do you want to stay in school to teach?" Regardless of the external appearance, Jian Ming is several years older than Dr. Lu. He is quite curious. Generally, those who major in psychology will graduate or continue their studies abroad. , or open a clinic and rely on a large number of cases to accumulate experience, develop contacts, and expand their own popularity. Few people will stay in school to teach and educate people as soon as they graduate.

"Hehe, my personality is not suitable for outsiders, and the school is simple, so I am quite willing to stay in the school." Dr. Lu smiled shyly, expressing himself restrainedly without saying much.

Chen Fei stepped in at the right time: "Doctor Jian, you don't know, he is introverted. Once he was counseling a patient, and the patient was fine, so he made himself cry." Chen Fei worked with this doctor Lu In three years, the degree of familiarity is directly reflected in how many embarrassing things they dare to expose each other, so it can be said that they are quite familiar.

Lu Heng was still chewing on the mutton, and answered vaguely: "I said you, Dr. Lu and Dr. Jian, this is not a hospital. You have lost your appetite. Stop holding it, just call it by your name." okay?"

Chen Fei lowered her head, taking advantage of her long hair to cover her forehead, she quickly rolled her eyes diagonally opposite.

She really didn't wrong Lu Heng. After eating for almost an hour, this bad boy didn't take anyone's words, but just robbed her. He robbed her eleven times, and I remembered it all.

"Lu Heng is right, this is not a clinic, let's call it by name, Dr. Lu... I remember correctly, your name should be Lu Siyuan." Jian Ming thought of the doctor's profile at the front desk of the consultation center.

"Well, just call me Siyuan, that's what everyone calls me."

Jian Ming nodded, said yes, and looked at Chen Fei, "Isn't it to your liking? I haven't seen you eat it yet. I heard your suggestion to eat hot pot. I thought you liked it very much."

Just as Chen Fei replied with the word "I", Lu Heng continued: "You don't understand this, girls, how can you eat like us rough men, don't you shout to lose weight every day?" He picked up a Jiwei Shrimp was put on Jian Ming's plate, and Lei Feng was very kind to explain it to him.

"It seems that Officer Lu understands girls very well." Jian Ming teased.

"Hey, I have such an aunt, probably girls are pretty much the same."

"Oh." Jian Ming glanced at him lightly, didn't want to say more, and lowered his head to eat.

Chen Fei felt that something was getting worse and worse. She and Lu Heng had neither grudges nor grudges. Why did it seem like she was being targeted and only targeted at her?

"Siyuan, I remember you like beef, why didn't you order it?" Chen Fei began to test.

Siyuan: "I have a toothache these days, so I dare not eat."

Lu Heng scooped food from the pot without even looking at them.

Very good, no rush.

Chen Fei scooped another fish ball and sent it to Jian Ming's plate: "The fish balls here are the best, they are bursting, try it."

Sure enough, this time Lu Heng blocked her spoon with a chopstick, "He's already eaten three, give it to me."

Did you count how many he ate?My god, Lu Heng, are you a devil?

"You and Jian Ming, when did your relationship get so good?" Chen Fei decided to face the enemy directly, and she asked Lu Heng this question.

"Ah, is there..." Lu Heng smiled awkwardly, and responded vaguely: "Isn't he my counselor, he usually cares about patients..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Fei snatched it back, "But he doesn't look like a counselor, and you don't look like a patient either."

"Doctors and patients can't be friends? Which law stipulates it?" Lu Heng raised his voice confidently, and glanced at Jian Ming from the corner of his eye. Jian Ming's calm expression did not change at all.

Chen Fei was speechless and didn't ask any more questions. She picked up a drink and stretched it across the table, "Jian Ming, Siyuan, and... Lu Heng, let's clink a glass and replace the wine with cola. We... are getting better and better, come on." The boldness in the tone almost threw Lu Siyuan, who was handsome at the side, several blocks away.

Lu Heng was the first to raise his glass, with a friendly smile on his face, not at all the exclusion Chen Fei felt.

At this moment, Chen Fei also clinked glasses with him with a smile on her face, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

This hot pot meal was full of ups and downs, calm and dark waves flowed, and the plot was full of emotion. During the period, two drama stars were born, the actor Lu and the actress Chen.

In fact, from the moment Lu Heng walked into Haidilao, he found that something was wrong at the front desk of Chen. It was a ten-degree day outside, but he was brave enough to wear a chiffon dress, and his hair was deliberately made into a cute loli style. The key is to look at Jane. Ming's expression, the unstoppable admiration in his eyes, all these, Jian Ming didn't react much, maybe the other party was a girl, or maybe he had experienced too much numbness, anyway, regardless of whether he reacted or not, after Lu Heng observed, It can be basically concluded that Chen Tiantai must be eyeing his family Mingming with evil intentions.

A good girl, can't you be more reserved?Lu Heng swears that his false interjection time and time again, and his actual disruptive actions are all aimed at disliking girls who are too active. It is definitely not because of jealousy, and his family Mingming doesn't love girls.

That's right, this Chen Fei is quite pretty when she smiles, and besides, her character, rounded up, is a man.

"Jian Ming, why are you with Lu Heng today?" Chen Fei deliberately lowered her voice, "Isn't the diagnosis and treatment over?"

"Speak up, don't worry about me, none of you have met me in Baichuan, you are so familiar with me." Lu Heng's No. 15 snatched the words, Chen Fei couldn't bear it anymore, and her temper was ready to explode.

"Hey, Lu Heng, why do I feel that we are so unfamiliar?" Chen Fei raised her eyebrows, her nose was raised up and down, her eyes stared straight at Lu Heng, "I said I called you for treatment before. , you either hung up the phone or you were perfunctory to me. If I see you, you will always look at me disliked. Tell me, I...what the hell happened to you. "

Jian Ming and Siyuan were stunned when they saw this dramatic reversal, and even gave a toast 10 minutes ago.

"What are you doing?" Jian Ming didn't pretend this time, he really knew nothing and was very curious.

Lu Heng spread his hands together, showing an innocent and helpless look.

Chen Fei had a provocative face, "Lu Heng, don't play dumb, what are you talking about, why are you always targeting me?"

"What did you do? Make her so angry?" Jian Ming looked sideways at Lu Heng with a dazed expression.

Lu Heng raised his eyebrows, his eyes were wide open, and he shamelessly put on a wronged expression, "I don't know, I didn't do anything." Then he looked at Chen Fei, "Sister Fei, what did I do wrong? Did I offend you?" The one with pure eyes looked like he would be bullied at any time.

"Who is your sister, who is your sister now, you... are you younger than me?" Chen Fei, a young girl from Shui Lingling, blushed with anxiety. "Lu Heng, you... hate, you are too bad."

Lu Heng figured out that the girl was too embarrassed to say anything, and now seeing the other party's face turned pale with anger, he felt a little guilty, although it was more of a secret joy.

"Okay, okay, Sister Feifei, don't be angry, come on, I respect you, no matter how 'accidentally' I make you unhappy, I will apologize to you, I'm sorry." Lu Heng picked up the glass, filled it with Coke I swallowed it in one gulp, and when I swallowed it at the end, I probably choked on the coke gas, turned around and coughed violently.

Nemesis!Chen Fei burst into tears.

"I can't kill you, how much do you look down on Coke, how dare you drink it like this?" Jian Ming handed over the tissue with concern, and smoothed his hands on Lu Heng's back, his mouth was unforgiving sarcasm, but his behavior was meticulous and touching .

Lu Heng took the tissue, took a breather and still turned his head to appease Jian Ming, "It's okay...it's okay, I'm a little anxious." After speaking, he smiled shyly at his family Mingming.

This scene of cosmic love deeply hurt Chen Fei's fragile heart. Jian Ming looked at Lu Heng with red/naked/naked distressed eyes, just like Lu Heng's caring and considerate eyes when he was serving him food It's just as real. Chen Fei suddenly realized that she could see that if the two people in front of her were not brothers, then they must... must be a pair of dogs and men in love.

No, brothers would never show affection like this, they are dogs and boys, for sure!Chen Fei's innocent girl's heart was shattered by this fact...

In fact, she was no stranger to same-sex love when she was in college. Chen Fei is not disgusted at all. Although she can't reach the level of rotten girls, she still understands and supports her in her heart. She is just too puzzled. Why are all excellent and perfect Why do all boys find boyfriends?What about girls as delicate and lovely as me?

Thinking of this, Chen Fei lowered her disappointed and frustrated face heavily.

"Don't be unhappy Chen Fei, you will grow old easily when you are angry. If Lu Heng is wrong, you can teach him a lesson. This is a girl's privilege." Seeing the lifelessness on the other side, Jian Ming smiled and coaxed gently, and then looked at Siyuan after speaking , "What do you say?"

Lu Siyuan should be quite hungry, as long as the big show was sung on the table, he ate quietly. "Well, of course." He was not familiar with Lu Heng, and he didn't want to interrupt, but he could tell that Chen Fei was not enjoying the meal.

Chen Fei looked up at Jian Ming and then at Lu Heng, finally sighed softly, and said, "Forget it, forget it, when I didn't say anything, I'm so hungry, let's add a plate of mutton, and... There are pig brains...and a plate of Niu Baiye..." She completely let go of the burden of being a lady, and there was only one thought in her mind, since the male god can't get it, don't let the stomach suffer.

The three men were taken aback by Chen Fei, and stared blankly at her boldly calling the waiter to order.

Lu Siyuan probably got used to it and got used to it quickly. Before Jian Ming and Lu Heng could react, they glanced at each other, feeling lucky that they didn't have to mess with creatures like women in this life.
