Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

On the other side, in the hotel in the Grassland Scenic Area, Haoyang Huo, who had been observing the whole team, stood up and stared at the movement of AJ on the big screen in disbelief.

What happened, Tong Jiu's car was swept away by the tornado, why did it suddenly move so fast, and it was still in the direction of Yuan Chaodou! ?

Hao Yang tapped the keyboard quickly, and at the same time input the location data transmitted by Li Qiu in real time, a clear scanned map soon appeared on the screen - sure enough, the distance between Tong Jiu and Li Qiu is shortening rapidly!

Haoyang immediately contacted Feng Tianjiao, and learned that Feng Tianjiao was still waiting for Ge Tianyou's rescue, and she didn't know Ah Jiu's whereabouts.

Hao Yang quickly calmed down and started the emergency filing for this mission.

He first briefly reported Ah Jiu's unexpected whereabouts to Li Qiu in the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty, and then contacted Ge Tianyou in the depths of the grassland through his contact machine.

Ge Tianyou had a dream, saying that the dream was inaccurate because it happened the day before Ye Yan disappeared.

That day, he used the excuse of part-time work as usual, dealt with several contract matters of the company, held another video conference, and then made a detour back to his apartment in the suburbs.Unexpectedly, Ye Yan was already at home, which was very rare for Ye Yan who was always on night shift.

"Why, you don't have to go to work tonight?"

"Well, I asked for leave, and I want to come back early." Ye Yan walked out of the kitchen with a big bowl and plate, with a faint smile on his face, and a brand new apron tied on his body.

Ge Tianyou saw that what Ye Yan brought was nothing but a large bowl of precious "Buddha Jumping Over the Wall", steaming hot and full of fragrance.

"Wash your hands quickly, I came back early today, just want you to taste this."

Ge Tianyou frowned: "This is... the Buddha Jumping Wall from the 'Old Fuzhou' family, right? I remember that a copy costs more than 500 yuan. Why did you think of buying this?"

"I pass by there every day when I go to work. I always want to eat but have no chance. Today I finally made up my mind and opened meat for myself." Ye Yan handed him a pair of chopsticks and said, "Try it quickly, we buy such expensive things all year round. Don’t waste it if you can’t eat it once.”

"Are you all right, what special day is today? I remember your birthday is in winter, and mine is not in this month."

"Isn't it your birthday that you can't eat good food?" Ye Yan smiled calmly, and added a piece of scallops to his bowl. "Let's eat. I've already paid the money. Sometimes it's boring to think about saving money. When I was young, I was reluctant to tighten my belt. When I died, I left a bag of money to others for nothing."

"You are abnormal today, are you in trouble at work?"

Ye Yan hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I... I quit my job."

Ge Tianyou raised his eyebrows. So after quitting his job, did he spend a lot of money on food?

Seeing that Ge Tianyou hadn't spoken for a long time, Ye Yan put down his chopsticks slowly, and said to him, "I'm sorry, Tianyou, I didn't discuss the resignation with you, because the decision was a little sudden, and I was afraid that you would be angry, so... you eat, we Let’s eat first, this Buddha jumping over the wall will be my apology to you.”

Ge Tianyou waved his hand: "That's your job, and it's your money. You don't need to pay me anything."

"But we are partners, right? Now that two people have decided to live together, they have to share and share, and discuss things together. Don't always divide yours and mine... That feels too natural."

"So I'll pay half of the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall?"

"That was not what I meant!"

Having been together for so long, Ye Yan knew very well where his lover's culprit was. Ge Tianyou was good in everything, but he couldn't raise money, and he was especially easy to be cold-hearted when it came to money.Ge Tianyou occasionally mentioned that his "previous person" broke up because of money problems. He didn't want to repeat the same mistakes at all, and he avoided them intentionally or unintentionally when getting along.

But today, Ye Yan had to take a risk to try.

"God bless, I actually..."

"If you have something to say, do you still need to hesitate in front of me?"

"I..." Ye Yan plucked up his courage and said, "I want to borrow money from you."

"Really." Ge Tianyou took a sip of water without expression, and didn't ask what he was doing with the money, but said, "How much do you want to borrow?"

"A lot, a lot..." Ye Yan twitched his fingers uneasily, his eyes were so tense that he had nowhere to look. "I don't know the exact number, tens of thousands, or 10,000+... I can give you an IOU, and we will settle the accounts clearly, and I promise not to deny it."

"With so much money, how long will you have to work part-time to pay it back?"

"I...I don't know..."

The water glass fell on the table with a crisp sound, and Ge Tianyou said without ups and downs: "I'm sorry Ye Yan, I don't have that much money to lend you. I have been working in Beijing these years, and I don't care about basic necessities of life. I only saved 3 yuan, and I can only lend you so much. I don't need any IOU from you, if you need it, just use it." After that, Ge Tianyou got up and left, taking the initiative to end this unpleasant topic .

Ye Yan froze for a moment, seemed to think of something suddenly, and said eagerly: "Your shirt—"

Ge Tianyou's back froze.

"I'm sorry, God bless... I, I didn't do it on purpose. I was just curious that day, so I asked my colleagues to check it on the computer. It turns out that one of your shirts costs seven or eight thousand on the Internet. You said that you were a security guard in a movie theater , but such expensive clothes... I just want to lend you some money, there is really no other meaning."

Unexpectedly, Ge Tianyou turned his head negatively, his brows were cold: "——you check me?"

Ye Yan's face turned pale with fright in his eyes.

"I haven't asked you what you want so much money for, but you are secretly investigating my income?"

"No, God bless me..."

Ge Tianyou interrupted coldly: "Only the 3 yuan, the rest is gone. My money didn't come from strong winds. Every penny and dollar was earned with blood and sweat. It never came easily... I thought you understood these principles."

After all, Ge Tianyou slammed the door hard, blocking Ye Yan's bewildered eyes.

In fact, he regretted it as soon as he closed the door, and sat down on the bed irritably, rubbing his head.

He was so impulsive that he never gave Ye Yan a chance to explain.Ye Yan just wanted to borrow money, and it was not a problem to put it on other couples, but it forced such a small situation.

Ge Tianyou wiped his face and buried it deeply in his palm.

He couldn't control himself. Over the years, the betrayal of money and feelings was like tarsal maggots haunting him day and night.As he got older, he longed more and more to have a suitable partner by his side and live a peaceful life with a family and a family.However, this desire and the betrayal of money are increasing day by day. The more he wants, the more he subtly refuses.

Ge Tianyou was sitting by the side of the door, but he couldn't contain his desire, that Ye Yan could take the initiative to open this door and rescue him.

But the whole night, the closed door was not opened.

The living room was quiet, there was neither the noise of rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find money, nor the shouting and complaining of cursing—this was the impression of the breakup left by his former partners.The living room was as quiet as a cemetery, Ge Tianyou couldn't even guess what Ye Yan was doing across the door, whether he was sad, meditating, or waiting for the other party to take that step on his own initiative.

Ge Tianyou waited like this all night, until the sky was brightened, and he finally couldn't help but push open the door.

The quiet and familiar living room was no longer the same as it was during the dispute last night.The seats are arranged neatly, and the shoe rack is tightly closed, only the expensive bowl of Buddha jumping wall that no one enjoys is lonely and cold on the table.

Ge Tianyou turned around and found that Ye Yan was not there, so he left around last night without saying goodbye.Ge Tianyou's first reaction was that Ye Yan ran away with the money, but he walked around the house only to find that not only were there not a few bank cards in the passbook at home, but there were a few more - all of Ye Yan's documents and passbooks were neatly arranged Put it on the cabinet, the person left, but left the money behind.

This was the first time this happened. Ge Tianyou was very surprised and hurriedly called Ye Yan, only to find that Ye Yan's mobile phone was also stored in the drawer.Ye Yan went out, but left behind all the necessary items. Ge Tianyou couldn't grasp the clues at a loss, but finally suppressed the restlessness in his heart and went to work.

After a day's work, Ge Tianyou came home and found that Ye Yan still hadn't come back.Immediately following the second day, and the third day... Ye Yan seemed to have completely disappeared from his life. Clothes and supplies were all there, but the person evaporated.

Ge Tianyou finally became anxious, not afraid of being noticed by others, he openly mobilized the company's manpower to search in a large area, but the result was still fruitless.Just when Ge Tianyou was in a panic and couldn't find a clue, he found something at home - a cowhide document bag placed with the passbook.

Most of the things in the house are usually cleaned by Ye Yan. Ge Tianyou has never had a big idea of ​​what is more and what is less, so he has not paid attention until now.The medical records and inspection reports of a certain hospital were written on the cowhide bag, and Ye Yan's name was written on the source. Ge Tianyou finally realized something, and quickly opened it.

That day, he saw hell.

"Boss, boss?" Secretary Liu's voice came from far away in his thoughts, breaking into his deep nightmare.

Ge Tianyou opened his eyes sweating profusely, and found that he was still sitting in the off-road vehicle. After dozens of hours of concentrating on the search, he was inevitably exhausted, and fell asleep in the car without knowing it.

Outside the car, Secretary Liu had already set up a simple tent, lit a fire on the grass, and scalded a small bottle of extravagant sake in the basin.

The conditions in the grassland are simple, and no matter how expensive the net worth is, it is inevitable to work hard here.Ge Tianyou didn't notice anything about it. When he was with Ye Yan, he had endured many tougher days than this.

"Boss, the meal is ready, come down and have something to eat."

Secretary Liu kept urging him twice before Ge Tianyou got out of the car with his bloodshot eyes open. After sitting down, he took a sip of boiling hot wine and never moved his chopsticks again.

Secretary Liu sighed silently. These days, he had been bothered enough to persuade him, so he didn't say anything more.It has been a week since Ye Yan disappeared. They found the grassland from Beijing and this desolate no-man's land from the metropolis, but they still couldn't find Ye Yan.Although the clues are becoming clearer and clearer, but...

Secretary Liu raised his eyes to look at his boss. Facing the scorching fire, Ge Tianyou remained motionless like a clay figurine, and his thoughts had drifted away for a long time.

In fact, he knew better than anyone else that Ge Tianyou never and would never give up his plan to find Ye Yan.With the deepening of the search for these two days, each team has reported the search results as promised, and the scope of the search has become smaller and smaller. I believe that it will not be long before they can see Ye Yan again, the real Ye Yan.

A master and a servant sat in a daze silently by the fire, and after a while, Hao Yang called.

Secretary Liu answered the phone duty-freely, and after listening to it, his expression was extremely complicated.

Ge Tianyou said almost immediately: "Is there any news about Ye Yan?"

"No...it's AJ, boss, AJ has left the team."
