Nine Prison Rings

If you have no master, you will be trapped, and if you are not prepared, you will be useless.

Yixi was secretly guessing, when Chen Can's cell phone rang in due course.

Chen Can picked up the phone and said "Hello" with a displeased look on his face.He pursed his lips, frowned, and listened for half a minute without saying a word.

At the end, he said, "Wait a minute, I'll be right over."

Fang Yixi thought to himself, this is someone who is eager to ask Chen Can to meet. After much deliberation, it is probably Chen Zhirong.

Chen Can hung up the phone, looking into Fang Yixi's eyes, a little evasive.His complexion is not natural.

"I have something to do, so go out first. If you see Xiu, tell him not to worry. I'll be back soon." Chen Can said casually.Then, he turned around anxiously, walked through the lively crowd, and hurried to take the elevator.

Fang Yixi replied "Yes", and he already made a good guess in his heart.

This person was so eager to see Can, but Can's expression was so impatient, as if he was not happy.It would be unreasonable to say that he was going to see Chen Zhirong; seeing his father, no matter what, he couldn't be so bored.

Yixi stared blankly at the figure who was so close before; lamenting that the days when they fell in love seemed to have happened in the previous life.In this life, I walked on the Naihe Bridge once, and the two never remembered each other.

When he regained his composure and looked around, where did he see the shadows of Chi Wei and Luo Xiu?God knows how much these two people have to talk about; they are both people with big careers, and most of the conversations they get together are about business.As long as you don't talk about yourself, that's fine.

Only then did Yixi feel bored.It is full of prosperity and romance, and the room is full of beauties with champagne, but there is no interest in it.I am just an up-and-coming ant citizen, even if I wear fancy clothes, I still can't fit into this high society full of beautiful cars and BMWs.To make an inappropriate analogy, it is like Cinderella wearing a glass slipper. Even though she is dazzlingly beautiful, she still fears the ringing of twelve o'clock.

That's a guilty conscience, the inherent guilty conscience of ordinary people in their bones.

Yixi laughed at herself, laughing at her inexplicable self-pity.

Suddenly remembered that there is a coffee shop on the fifth floor, which is a very quiet and quiet place.It seems that the banquet will take a while to end, and Chi Wei's social gatherings seem to be coming in an endless stream; why don't you sneak in and sit for a while.

So, he took out his phone and sent a text message to Chi Wei.Speaking of going to sit in the coffee shop downstairs, let him not worry.

Then, a person walked slowly into the elevator.

It's just that Luo Xiu was dragged away by Chi Wei, drank two glasses of whiskey, and talked for another half an hour.Because he was worried about Can being alone, after talking about important matters, he hurriedly said goodbye to Chi Wei and looked around for Can's shadow.

Unexpectedly, after busying around, he couldn't find Chan.

He dialed the other party's mobile phone, but only heard a few annoying "beep" busy tones.

Where is he?The signal is so bad.

Luo Xiu was a little puzzled and a little anxious.Thinking that perhaps such a messy occasion would make Chan feel uncomfortable?The more I guessed, the more bad thoughts floated in my heart; it seemed like a ladle in a water tank, after finally pressing it down, it floated up again dangling.

After searching floor by floor for a long time, I ran to the lobby.

In the brightly lit and colorful hotel lobby, some people sat leisurely in the rest area in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.The lady at the front desk and the waiter are very busy.Luo Xiu could easily see that there was no one he was looking for in this wide and clear space.

He wondered if he should call again to try his luck.

A figure suddenly floated in front of his eyes—for a short moment, due to the familiarity, Luo Xiu could still recognize that it was Chan.

how?Does he still seem to be rejecting someone?It seemed to be torn apart, so awkward.

Luo Xiu was worried about what happened to Can, and followed closely behind.

All the way to the outside of the shop, there are thick poplar trees in front of the door, with branches like silver hooks and iron rulers, stretching out their teeth and claws in all directions.In winter, the leaves are gone, and the bare tree trunks are wrapped with colorful lights; in the twilight, colorful lights are shining... It is opaque, but ambiguous.

At this time, with the help of this faint light, Luo Xiu saw clearly that the person Chen Can pushed and shoved was Chen Zhirong.

The two seemed to be talking about something, and Chen Can's face was gloomy, as if he was angry, but he didn't seem to be.As for Chen Zhirong, he was a little trembling, careful to please.

Luo Xiu is in a dilemma at this moment.The two fathers and sons talked, and it didn't seem good to hear them; but if they didn't listen, they stuck here like this; once they found out, both of them would be embarrassed.After thinking twice, he still chose to dodge and hide behind the marble "Carp Leaping over the Dragon Gate" sculpture at the main entrance of the hotel.

This sculpture is a fountain in summer; gurgling water can be sprayed from the mouth of the fish, which is very delicate.

Luo Xiu hid here, and the conversation between the father and son was still unbroken, followed by the cold wind, blowing into the eardrums vaguely.

"I'm afraid, this matter can't be covered..." Chen Zhirong sighed sadly, and said faintly worried.

Chen Can, with an indifferent expression, lacked the warmth in his words: "You are a policeman with decades of work experience, so you should know how not to get yourself into trouble. Maybe it's not my turn to teach you?"

Luo Xiu didn't know what they were talking about, but he could hear the uneasiness in Chen Zhirong's words; it must not be a trivial matter.What surprised him the most was Can's attitude towards Chen Zhirong: so cold and indifferent.

"It's not that Fang Yixi..." Chen Zhirong said the name bitterly: "He is the one playing tricks. If he knew this, he should have..."

"Okay!" Can interrupted him sharply, "At the beginning, you missed a move, what's the use of talking about it now?! Even if he dies now, he can't solve your problem. Instead of doing this, why don't you add up and add up?" How to get away..."

Chen Zhirong looked like a primary school student who had done something wrong and was reviewing; he held his breath and lowered his head.After being silent for a long time, he said, "Don't worry about my matter, I will find a way to settle it. I just worry about you, afraid that he will treat you badly... You can't fall twice on the same person. This time..."

"Puchi", Chen Can let out a sneer—it was treacherous and cruel that didn't match his sunny face.

"Father, I don't think I will worry about you. You have always been far-sighted, and you are more than enough to deal with such trivial matters?  …"

"I...I...Of course." Chen Zhirong looked a little at a loss.

Luo Xiu was amazed by his panicked look.In his eyes, that man who has always been mature, prudent, and aggressive would show such a flustered and confused expression.

"As for Luo Xiu..." Chan smiled, with a thought-provoking smile—"Don't worry, he treats me very well, very well. He loves me very much, gives me whatever I want. In the future, he will also Treat me better and better. For him, as long as he loves me and treats me well, that's it."

On this point, Chen Can is right.He has great confidence in Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.Chan, in terms of feelings for him, is as trusting and passionate as ever.Even if, some changes in this person did make him unexpected.

Perhaps, something happened between them that was not known to outsiders; that's why today's situation happened.This does not mean that there is something wrong with Chan's character.

Luo Xiu, subconsciously, was protecting the person he had always sympathized with.

"that's great……."

Chen Zhirong's mouth opened and closed, and after a long time of agitation, he managed to squeeze out such a sentence.To be honest, he probably didn't want his son to mix with the person who had abandoned him.

Chen Can stared at the man with bright black eyes, and said coldly, "Take care of your troubles. There is nothing important in the future, so don't come to me. I don't want to attract other people's attention..."

"Okay." The man, dryly, almost begrudgingly, answered simply.

"By the way, Luo Xiu said that he wanted to invite you to have a New Year's Eve dinner with us on New Year's Eve. What do you say?"

"What about you? Do you want me to go?" Chen Zhirong raised his head, looking hopefully at his son.

Can, paused for a moment; there was a complicated slight ripple in his eyes, which moved slightly.

"How about... Let's have a New Year's Eve dinner together."

"Good! Good..." Chen Zhirong praised repeatedly, his eyes brightened with excitement.

Chen Can couldn't pretend to ignore his father's happiness; he had to habitually cover up all the movements of his facial features.

He said flatly: "If you go, the congregation will be happy..."

On the side, Luo Xiu, who heard these words, felt for a moment: a corner of his heart was swollen and sore for no reason... He was deeply moved.

Luo Xiu had no way of guessing what they were talking about.It's just that Chen Zhirong was so overwhelmed and panicked; the seriousness of the matter can be seen.

Fang Yixi was obviously involved, and it was certain that this matter would not be settled anytime soon.

My heart seemed to be covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, and I didn't know who would be hit when the lightning struck.When the time comes, will it be Chan who will be hurt?Or Yixi?Either way, he doesn't want to.

For someone like Luo Xiu who likes to be in control, this makes him feel very annoyed.What he hates the most is the powerlessness of resigning himself to fate.

Luo Xiu's mind was full of question marks, and there were a lot of irrelevant associations and worries.

He turned back quietly and returned to the hotel, suddenly his mind was like a mess of loose yarn, so messy that he couldn't find his way out.

He swung into the elevator and pressed the floor.By the time he reacted, he had already reached the fifth floor.

When it comes, be safe.

He ordered a cup of hot chocolate, and sent a message to Chan, informing him of his whereabouts.Only then did he continue to drink the hot drink absentmindedly.

After taking a few sips, I hurried up and ran to the bathroom.

Here he was just walking towards the bathroom; over there, Chen Feng, who was dressed in casual clothes and exuded a decadent aura, also just walked into the coffee shop: as if wearing a sight, he locked on to Luo Xiu at a glance.

"Ro..."

Chen Feng opened his mouth to shout, but saw the figure disappear around the corner.Guessing it was convenient for him to go, he found a seat and sat down, simply sitting on the sidelines.

Luo Xiu didn't hear anyone calling him at all, and pushed open the bathroom door on his own.

As soon as you enter: there is a person, hanging his head in front of the sink, washing his hands with water.Hearing the sound, the man raised his head unconsciously: That's good, these two people were immediately stunned...

The handsome face that caught my eyes was: Fang Yixi.
