I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 482: Intertwined memories

 The representative of identity and the symbol of honor.

 Very impressive...

 Perhaps you have seen it somewhere?

 Where did you see it?

Wei Lan’s slender, dark eyebrows furrowed and she squinted in memory.

 In just a short moment, many fragments flashed through my mind.

On the gray tabletop, a girl's extremely slender and white hands tore open the envelope, pulled out the letter paper and spread it out, revealing the first row of vigorous and sharp handwriting:

 Dear Comrade Wei Lan, a son of the people...

The perspective is a bit strange, it seems to be the first perspective.

people…

 Zidi soldiers?

Wei Lan slowly raised his hands. Under the sunlight, those hands seemed to be white and dazzling.

She turned her wrists and assumed different angles, which seemed to be somewhat similar.

That fragment, is it her memory?

 This may be an opportunity to find lost memories.

Wei Lan's eyes were slightly rounded, and her pupils were swaying. She took a few steps forward in the direction of the window. Zhang Xiaokui's voice suddenly came from behind, "Comrade Wei Lan, this way!"

"Why?"

In an instant, Wei Lan seemed to have regained consciousness. She turned around blankly, looked at the car parked at the entrance of the police station, and then looked back at the window.

There was no one there anymore, and she couldn't seem to find the same feeling she had just now.

Wei Lan raised her hands again. Under the sun, those hands were still almost white, but they were not very similar to the fragments that flashed in her mind before.

Those hands were white and delicate, but her hands were in good shape, but they were covered with tiny scars.

 It’s an illusion.

 “Let’s go!”

“Oh—here it comes!” Putting aside the strange thoughts in his mind, Wei Lan held down her hat with one hand, picked up the hem of her skirt with the other and ran towards the car.

 On the other side, the director’s office.

As soon as the knock on the door came, Wei Xueliang turned around and said, "Come in."

Yanyi pushed the door open, and the moment he stepped in with his long legs, he stood upright and gave a standard military salute."

"sit."

 Wei Xueliang nodded and waved his hand for Yanyi to sit down.

"When did Commander Wei come over? Why didn't you say hello in advance? I could pick you up at the station."

 “It’s nothing, I can still move.” Wei Xueliang waved his hand and was not in a hurry to mention the purpose of this trip.

Looking up and down Yanyi, Wei Xueliang frowned when he saw that he was mostly casual and not wearing a uniform, "I just got here and I heard Director He here say that you were suspended. What happened?"

 Yanyi sat upright, his hands nervously grasped his knees and trouser legs, only to loosen them for a moment, organized his words a little, and put aside the matter of Ding Maomao.

Wei Xueliang was confused after what he heard. The two of them talked back and forth for a long time before they figured out that Wei Xueliang had not received the letter that Yanyi sent to the capital a few days ago to explain what happened.

Yanyi had no choice but to tell him the story again according to what he knew, without missing a beat.

Wei Xueliang was silent for a long time after hearing this.

 Before coming, he was full of confidence, thinking that his girl had slipped and fell into the water, it was an accident, and as long as no one was found, there was still a lot of hope that she would still be alive.

 But it turned out that it was not a so-called accident at all, but a vicious attack.

Wei Xueliang's expression remained as usual, and the palms folded on his legs were squeezed tightly.

Yanyi lowered his eyes and continued: "I have led people to search hard, but no traces were found... Due to the pressure of many factors, I had to terminate the search... I feel guilty."

 Before the search officially started, Wei Xueliang's heart felt half cold.

 At this time, Wei Xueliang's inner thoughts were exactly the same as Gu Chao's.

 In the case of severe injuries, in the raging floods, the chance that his daughter was still alive may not even be 5%.

Wei Xueliang raised his head, let out a long sigh with trembling lips, and maintained that posture for a long time. He suddenly sat upright and patted Yanyi's shoulders twice, "I don't blame you for this. I know your feelings for Lan Lan. Don't let Lan Lan influence you." It’s your future, you are a soldier.”

At that moment, Yanyi lowered his head and pursed his thin lips, while Wei Xueliang had already stood up, strode towards the door with riding boots, opened the door and walked out.

   *

The West Market Department Store has three floors. Compared with the surrounding bungalows and small buildings, the three-story department store is indeed large enough.

Yanyi had given Zhang Xiaokui tickets in advance, and anyone Wei Lan liked could buy them.

However, when Wei Lan went to the department store, she didn't find any clothes or items she liked.

Especially when she encountered two young girls with braided braids looking longingly at a pink Coriander dress at two of the counters, Wei Lan couldn't even understand why they looked like that.

It is obviously not very good-looking, and is even a bit conservative and mediocre.

If they saw a lace dress, a slim-fitting cheongsam, or a navel-baring skirt, wouldn't they scream crazy?

Thinking about it, Wei Lan was slightly startled. She seemed to have confused the present moment with another illusory world in her mind.

“Young girls all like this kind of pattern, Comrade Wei Lan, how about you buy one too?”

 Zhang Xiaokui scratched the back of his head and suggested awkwardly.

Going to a department store with a **** should not be boring. If you had known this would happen, you should have brought your partner with you.

 Lesbians always have more topics to talk about together. At that time, he only needs to be responsible for carrying things.

Wei Lan nodded, "Let's take a look."

 Having said that, we walked ahead and started browsing the department store again.

　　Previously, Wei Lan's aesthetics had always been stuck in the illusory world in her mind. Now she got rid of distracting thoughts and re-examined and appraised according to the current fashionable elements, until she finally found a pair of good clothes in reality.

The upper body is a dress with a pure white lotus leaf collar and a red bottom with polka dots, as well as a blue and white thick-striped half-sleeved shirt and denim jacket.

Although the department store is large, the counters inside are very small. There is no place to try on clothes, and there is no service to try on clothes.

Wei Lan liked the style, took a quick look at it, made sure it was the right size, and nodded.

Zhang Xiaokui paid the bill neatly, and the salesperson at the counter had a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum. She wished she could personally help them get their things and deliver them to the door.

The clothes Wei Lan selected were popular in Hong Kong at this time. The manufacturer thought about making a batch of them and sent them to all parts of the country for trial sales.

These clothes have been sent to Province H. They have been detained for a long time. The young girls coming and going can only look at them twice, but no one can accept them.

In their eyes, a solid pleated skirt or an old military uniform is much more decent than clothes that look strange and are heavy and stiff. The wound on the back of the head has healed, and small, soft hair has begun to grow on the light-colored scar. However, compared with the regrowth, it looks uneven together with other hair.

In addition, Wei Lan was not very satisfied with her short hair and wanted to cover it up, so after buying clothes, Wei Lan walked ahead to look for the counter selling hats.

 Hats are a top-notch item, sold by all good stores, but each store only has a few hats, and the styles are almost the same.

Wei Lan is currently wearing a white sun hat. When she was just able to walk around, she went downstairs to do some activities. Yanyi bought it because she was afraid that her wound would catch wind.

 The shape is a bit like an upside-down flower. It’s not ugly, but it’s very big and not suitable for daily use.

　　After walking around for a few times, Wei Lan chose a pocket-sized rattan hat tied with a red ribbon. The wide brim occupies less than half of the head circumference. It is a cute and cute type.

 “That’s it, how much does it cost?”

 “The rattan hat costs eighty cents, no votes required.”

 Eight cents, very cheap.

Wei Lan held the hat and looked back at Zhang Xiaokui. Zhang Xiaokui understood and stepped forward to pay neatly.

Walked around again and again, but no one from Yanyi came. Zhang Xiaokui was afraid that Wei Lan would be anxious, so he suggested going to the state-owned restaurant opposite and eating while waiting.

 Wei Lan nodded in agreement.

Soliciting Wei Lan's opinion, Zhang Xiaokui waited in the lobby on the first floor after ordering, while Wei Lan waited at the window seat on the second floor.

　　While waiting, she was not idle. She dragged her chin and her eyes wandered aimlessly through the window, and inadvertently glanced at two young people passing by on the street downstairs.

The two young men were walking very fast. One of them was wearing a white shirt and slim pants. His back looked upright and energetic. Wei Lan couldn't help but take a second look.

On the street, most people wear gray, blue, and black clothes, and very few white clothes. As for shirts, this is the first time Wei Lan has seen people other than Yanyi wearing them in a long time.

After two glances were not enough, he stood up again, leaned on the window sill and looked out.

"Comrade Wei Lan, the food is ready. I see there is pimple soup down there. Do you want a piece of it?" Zhang Xiaokui came over with a tray "thump thump thump".

Wei Lan sat back and glanced at the tray. There were already three dishes and two bowls of rice. "No, there's already a lot of these. We may not be able to eat them all."

“Hey, hey! Okay! Don’t order it yet. If you want to drink it later, just tell me and I’ll buy it!”

"good."

At the same time, smelling the aroma of food wafting from the state-owned hotel, Shantao paused for a moment, then staggered to follow the person in front, "Hey! Brother Chao, Brother Chao! It's lunch time, how about we go to the state-owned hotel Want something to eat at the restaurant? I'll take it, okay? Sit down and talk slowly, how about it?"

Gu Chao stopped slightly and continued walking forward with a dull voice, "I still have something to do... By the way, do you know what other hospitals there are in the county besides the County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital?"

“County Central Hospital, Tongren Hospital, yes, there is also a military-affiliated hospital...what are you asking about these?”

Shantao counted his fingers for a while, then suddenly quickened his pace and pulled Gu Chao, "You haven't told me yet, when will Wei Zhiqing make goat's milk rolls again? Many customers are still waiting for me to deliver!"

"Probably I won't do it again." Gu Chao paused and looked at Shantao with a deep look, "Military Affiliated Hospital, will you leave?"

Shantao wanted to ask why, what was going on, but when he saw Gu Chao's eyes like this, his whole body suddenly became excited, and he nodded blankly, "I know, I know, then I'll go with you. There happens to be a client over there waiting for my reply. …”

Gu Chao didn't say anything, turned around and continued walking, Shantao followed, "This way, this way, by the way, that customer's surname is also Wei, do you think it's a coincidence? He has the same surname as Wei Zhiqing, and he is also a very easy to talk to. Just look at him. It’s a bit fierce going up there…”

"You said, they are not the same family, or they know each other, right?"

 “Is your surname also Wei?”

"Yes, it's just a man... Hey, walk slower, this way, this way!"

Hearing the surname Wei, Gu Chao's eyes lit up, and when he heard it was a man, the light in his eyes dimmed instantly. He stretched out his hand to pull Shan Yao over and pushed him forward, "You go ahead and lead the way."

 A meal was eaten slowly, and by the time the plate was finished, Yanyi arrived belatedly.

Zhang Xiaokui wiped a cold sweat and said, "Deputy Bureau Yan, I've left that person in your hands and I'll go back first?"

Even if you go back to the bureau and stand at the gate, it's better than walking around the department store.

Yanyi nodded and looked at Wei Lan with a slight gasp from his Adam's apple.

After Zhang Xiaokui left, Wei Lan looked at him with his hands on his chin, pursed his lips and smiled sweetly, "Have you not eaten yet? We will go back together after you have eaten."

After Yanyi finished talking to Wei Xueliang at the police station, he was busy finding a place for Wei Xueliang to stay, and then ran all the way here without even stopping for a moment, let alone eating.

 But he refused simply, "No, go back now."

"Why?"

Wei Lan's face was filled with doubts, and Yanyi explained hastily: "Something happened. The situation is urgent. We walked and talked."

 After saying that, he had already picked up the big bag of the department store next to Wei Lan, clasped her wrist again, and led her back, with a look of nervousness and impatience on his brows.

 It seems like something big happened.

Wei Lan didn't dare to write ink, so he could barely keep up with Yanyi's pace by trotting.

Zhang Xiaokui left, but the car stayed. Driving all the way through the alleys and small courtyards, Yanyi pursed his thin lips tightly and did not speak.

 Wei Xueliang will probably not leave in a short time. Based on Yanyi's understanding of him, even if he has already determined that Wei Lan is "dead" in his heart, he will definitely take certain measures while staying in H Province.

We need to see people when we are alive, and we want to see corpses when we are dead. Wei Xueliang is not as easy to get rid of as Gu Chao.

Arrived near home, the car slowly stopped, and Yanyi turned sideways to help Wei Lan unbuckle his seat belt.

His narrow eyes stared closely at Wei Lan's clear peach blossom eyes, his Adam's apple rolled up again and again, thinking about how to speak.

Wei Lan saw that his face was serious, she pursed her lips and smiled sweetly and gently, "What on earth is going on? Is it difficult to speak?"

"No." Yanyi shook his head, his expression slightly relaxed, and he put his hand on Wei Lan's shoulder and warned seriously: "There is a big event in the county, and there may be chaos in the next few days. When I am not here, if someone knocks on the door, don't open the door, um ?”

Wei Lan shook her head suspiciously and asked, "Will someone come to the door?"

"Yeah." Yanyi nodded, "The county has lost something very important. There is a high probability that a door-to-door census will be conducted. Your household registration has just been reissued and has not yet been implemented. If someone comes, it will be very troublesome."

Wei Lan instantly understood what Yan Yi meant, nodded gently in agreement, and finally felt a little frustrated, "Have I caused any trouble for you?"

"Don't say stupid things." Yanyi reached out, held her face in his big hands and rubbed it twice, "I'm just afraid that they will scare you."

"I'm not a child, how can I be scared so easily?" Wei Lan laughed out loud, and when she saw Yanyi's expression became serious again, she patted her chest with her small hands and quickly assured: "Don't worry, I will definitely do it! "

“Be good.” Yanyi smiled suddenly, got out of the car and opened the door for Wei Lan.

Yanyi's home was assigned by the police station. There is a small courtyard in the middle of a deep alley. There is a well in the courtyard. A pomegranate tree with a crooked neck has now begun to bear fruit. Several of them have cracked open, revealing the purple-red pomegranate seeds inside. .

Further inside, there is the living room just as you enter the door. There are two bedrooms on both sides, and there is a separate bathroom at the back.
