Mountains and seas have a home

The special car waited outside the Four Seasons Osmanthus Garden early the next morning.After Guzhou woke up, he made breakfast, and then he ironed the three stacks of travel clothes, and stood in front of the mirror to help him fasten his tie.This day is a big day. Sandie will be interviewed by reporters and will speak at the venue. Sandie attaches great importance to this speech.Facing the mirror, he fastened the buttons, with a sterling silver collar pin pinned an inch below his chest, his hair pulled back, and his shiny leather shoes were radiant.Sandie is tall, handsome, and quite good-natured.

"Protect yourself and be safe." Gu Zhou said, he hugged Sandie before sending him to the hall downstairs.

"I will, it's not going to the battlefield, don't worry." Sandiao nodded, quietly looking out from a small glass window, his special car was parked outside the gate of the community, no one noticed it.

Gu Zhou helped him wind the scarf, tied a knot, shook his head and said, "It's not like you haven't been to a war zone, the time you were in Africa really scared me, just thinking about it makes me afraid." Very good!"

There is still an aisle and glass doors to go to the hall. Three stacks stopped in the middle of the aisle, looked in the mirror against the glass walls on both sides, and adjusted their ties and skirts.It was still early at this time, and there was no one in the aisle, and even the lights were sleepy and weak.Sandie turned around and looked at Gu Zhou for a while, then they both took the initiative to kiss each other.After tasting each other's taste, Sanji just pulled up the mask to cover his face, and then put on the black tweed wide-brimmed hat.

Gu Zhou shook off the cocoon coat to put it on for him, and at the same time pushed open the door at the end of the corridor and walked out with him.Outside the golden hall is a dark garden. The few street lamps did not play a role in lighting, but made the winter morning even more dreamlike.Three folds of coats, soft collars, leather bags, stood in the hall and bid farewell to Gu Zhou, then stepped on the steps and walked into the cold darkness, turned around a tiled garden road, and disappeared up.

It wasn't until Sandie got into the car that Gu Zhou turned around and took the elevator back home with peace of mind.His briefcase was placed on the marble table next to the entrance, Gu Zhou dug out a document from it, took it to the sofa and sat down.Gu Zhou took a sip of the still warm water, propped himself up on his knees, and flipped through the report card.He saw the number and type of bullets written on the first page of the document, followed by anatomical annotations on the following pages.

The anatomical diagram made Gu Zhou frowned.He read the whole thing without saying a word, finally turned back to the first page, stretched out his finger and pointed under the column of the number of bullets.Gu Zhou clutched his water glass and thought about it. The numbers on the paper forced him to think carefully—Ji Yao’s custom-made bullet box is about 700 rounds, and the number written on the report in front of him is also 700.Gu Zhou went to check the structural drawing of the bullet again, he was very familiar with the carvings on it.

Gu Zhou threw the report sheet on the coffee table, leaned into the sofa cushion, and drank the remaining water in the cup.He caught a glimpse of a porcelain vase next to the tea table, with a large bouquet of fresh roses inserted in it, exactly the same three stacks of roses inserted last night, and clear water was added to the porcelain vase.Gu Zhou poured some water on his hands, and then sprinkled the water drops on the petals.Gu Zhou twirled the porcelain vase to arrange the bouquet until all the petals were covered with water droplets, then he picked out a few wilted flowers and threw them into the trash can.

After finishing these, he smelled the faint aroma of roses, which made people intoxicated.Gu Zhou tidied away the document pages on the coffee table, got up and went to change clothes in the room, and as always, took off the windbreaker from the hanger to wrap around his body.He put the report into his briefcase, skillfully turned off the light in the living room, and stepped on his leather shoes into the empty elevator while calling the Gnard Company.

Maserati parked at the entrance of Gnaard Company, and the post-modern design of the building shone silver in the dark night.Gu Zhou opened the door and got off the car in front of the wide staircase, and told the driver to drive the car to the parking lot.The square in front of the building has been turned into a garden, where the hardy autumn flowers are in full bloom and the palm fronds are magically shimmering golden in the light of the lanterns.Gu Zhou walked up the stairs, passed the identity verification and entered the locked door, and saw the secretary who was rushing over.

The production workshop was brightly lit and warm like spring, Guzhou came here immediately.He took off his warm coat and put it on his arm, then took off his gloves, and followed the secretary into the file storage room next to the factory building.After a while, the warehouse manager and the workshop director with anxious expressions rushed over one after another, bringing in the embarrassing noise from several isolation doors.Gu Zhou glanced at them, raised his finger and pointed at the filing cabinets in the room, and said, "Find out the orders from special customers in the past three months."

Gu Zhou pulled out his chair and sat down, turned on the computer to log in to the system.The administrator quickly found several record books sealed in cardboard boxes from a nearby cabinet, and carried them one by one to Guzhou's hand and put them down.While Gu Zhou was inquiring about the data in the record book, Gu Qichuan pushed open the door and walked into a long passage.Fluorescent warning tapes are pasted on the walls on both sides, and beyond that is the heavily guarded production workshop, where the giant robotic arm is turning around nimbly.

"Why is he here?" Gu Qichuan asked, handing the tablet back to the secretary beside him.

"The little boss suddenly wanted to check the production orders for the past few months, and he is now asking inside."

"Oh." Gu Qichuan nodded, and stopped in front of the archives room, but he didn't enter immediately, but just pressed his gloved hand on the doorknob, "Is there something wrong with you? Guzhou usually doesn't Take care of these things."

"I don't know. So far, I haven't heard of any order problems, and the feedback from customers is very good. I think there may be other reasons that make the little boss so caring."

Gu Qichuan didn't speak, and asked the secretary to wait outside the door, then opened the door and walked in.Gu Zhou raised his eyelids from the pile of documents and glanced at his father who walked in. He didn't get up, and continued to record the memo with the red pen in his hand.Gu Qichuan sent everyone else in the room away, and waited until the door was closed before walking over and leaning against the table, looking down at a file, and asking, "Why did you suddenly come to the company today?"

"Of course I came here because something happened, otherwise I would have gone to prison." Gu Zhou folded the checked folder aside, raised his eyes to stare at Gu Qichuan, "I'm checking More special warheads were produced."

"Special warheads are only made for Ji Yao, and no one else knows that we are producing this kind of bullets. This kind of particularly important order is fixed and quantitative, and there is no need to make more or less, unless Ji Yao himself makes a request."

Gu Zhou spread his hands: "But obviously Ji Yao didn't ask for it, at least I didn't receive the notice. Could it be that you received a message from him that he wanted to produce a few more boxes?"

"No." Gu Qichuan replied, he went around the yew wood table exuding the original aroma, went to the other side to drink hot water, and took a sip.

"Yesterday Tang Ji escaped from prison, and the city was full of disturbances. Yancheng Prison was the first to bear the brunt and became the target of public criticism. Let's not talk about other things. I am not here to discuss this today. What I am most worried about is that this special bullet was found at the battle scene. , and I don’t know its source.” Gu Zhou put down his pen, leaned sideways on the back of the chair and looked at Gu Qichuan who was standing next to the window frame across the table, and he was looking at the oak tree with red leaves flying outside the window Lin seems to be obsessed with it.

Gu Qichuan frowned upon hearing this, and turned to look at Guzhou.Gu Zhou stood up from his seat, took the report card and walked over to pass it to his father, then went to the side and poured a cup of hot coffee to hold in his hand to keep warm.Gu Qichuan flipped through the pages for a while, his lip lines became tighter and tighter, and finally he closed a stack of documents: "There is such a thing. The goods we sent to Ji Yao have also been counted, and there is no mistake , not to mention less hair loss."

The red-leafed oak clumps were all bathed in a radiant light, and the thinning leaves were illuminated so that they looked metallic.The houses in the park appear so low, flat, and clear that only the beginning of winter can have such a view.

"This is what we have to think about." Gu Zhou called up the floating screen, opened the file records and showed Gu Qichuan, "There is nothing wrong with the data in our hands, but the reality tells us that is not the case."

Gu Qichuan didn't say a word, took a bullet from Guzhou's hand, and examined it carefully against the light.After a long while, he put down the bullet and looked straight into Gu Zhou's eyes: "You should have carved all the patterns on it by yourself, right?"

"Indeed. I believe that so far no one has been able to imitate my engraving techniques, nor can I get the base map of the pattern." Gu Zhou swallowed a mouthful of bittersweet liquid with his coffee cup in his hand, and covered the window with his hand to block the air-conditioning, " The base map is in my head."

The two of them didn't speak for a while, Gu Qichuan held the bullet, twisted it over and over between his fingers, and raised his elbow to rest on the window sill.After a few minutes, Gu Qichuan said, "Why don't we guess that Ji Yao provided the bullets for the gang that robbed the prison?"

Guzhou frowned when he heard the words, and leaned on the railing in front of the window, staring at the rustling oak trees in the garden: "Impossible. Firstly, Ji Yao is not in the country, and secondly, he will not participate in the prison robbery. You have to I know the relationship between him and Tang Ji. As we all know, the two are sworn enemies, how could Ji Yao help the gang to rob him out of prison."

"That can only be the worst case - the formula of the crystal has been leaked." Gu Qichuan stood the bullet on the window sill, even though he said "the worst case", his tone was still calm, "The carving of the bullet head can be done by machine , hired a professional imitation painting master to draw the base map, the similarity can be as high as 99%. Let's think about it, maybe this group of people is also colluding with gangs that counterfeit banknotes, embezzlement, and money laundering, so the water in it may be deep."

The father and son looked at each other, and Gu Zhou turned and left the window: "Now that Tang Ji has escaped from prison, if he is not captured, we will have no peace for a day, and the media from all walks of life can drown us with their spittle. .I will catch this bad guy sooner or later. I wait for the day when he is shot. The company's top priority is to find out the source of the imitation bullets. Chemicals."

Water came out of the faucet, Guzhou poured out the cold coffee, rinsed the cup, and put it upside down in the disinfection cabinet.Gu Qichuan clasped his hands and walked towards the table full of folders without saying a word, and nodded after a moment of contemplation: "I will contact Ji Yao. You inform the technical department and let them develop new medicines. The situation is imminent now. , without further ado, we should act immediately. In addition, keep quiet about the investigation, so as not to startle the snake, the huge power behind Tang Ji cannot be shaken by you and me."

Guzhou was silent for a while, cleaned up the files on the desk, and turned off the computer: "You and I really can't shake it, but what if we unite with other companies?"

Gu Qichuan smiled. Since he came here, he has been worrying a lot, and he hasn't seen him smile yet."The new round of competition can't wait to start," he said.

When Ji Yao received a call from Gu Qichuan, he was evaluating several executives.The phone rang suddenly, and Ji Yao apologized to Wei Shanhua who was next to him, stood up while buttoning his clothes, and walked out quickly to answer the phone.

"The company has developed a new type of high-explosive crystal, which has better performance than the previous one. After passing the test, I will replace you with a brand new warhead. Please know."

"I see. Hope to speed up the progress, time is running out, we have to run ahead of time."

Gu Qichuan agreed, and after a while he added: "Tang Ji has escaped from prison, and now people are panicking. He murdered you before, and he will definitely not let it go. Please pay attention to safety."

Ji Yao smiled, but soon stopped laughing.He tapped on the railing lightly with his eyelashes down, pursed his lower lip: "Thank you, I will pay attention. Although I don't know why he insisted on my death, I understand the truth that one life is worth one life."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yao didn't rush back immediately, but stood in the corridor blowing the warm wind.He leaned against the railing, and the hard metal truss hurt his waist.Ji Yao stroked the bridge of his nose repeatedly, whenever he was full of melancholy, he would touch the bridge of his nose unconsciously.How worrying and frightening Gu Qichuan's words are!It took a while for Ji Yao to return to the examination hall to continue invigilating the examination. When he sat down on the chair, Fu Zhong beside him keenly captured the melancholy emanating from him.

Fu Zhong sat next to him and was allowed by Ji Yao to act as an invigilator because of his injury.Seeing Ji Yao sat down sullenly, Fu Zhong stared at him for a long time before walking past him carefully, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything important?"

Ji Yao folded his legs and leaned against the soft cushion of the high-back chair. While watching the fighting in full swing, he turned his head and got closer to Fu Zhong, and whispered: "It's nothing serious, my family will call to ask peaceful."

The hot air rushed to Fu Zhong's ears, making his ears flushed red.Fu Zhong propped his chin and laughed, turned his nose and quietly smelled the fragrance of Ji Yao's hair: "Is it your mother?"

"It's not my mother. My mother hasn't contacted me for a long time." Ji Yao shook her head with a smile, and wrote down the numbers in the record book with her eyelashes drooping. "I often can't remember what she looks like."

Fu Zhong nodded, he knew that Ji Yao didn't often mention family matters, especially his mother.Fu Zhong didn't ask much, the two of them sat shoulder to shoulder, and Fu Zhong could see Ji Yao's nose and eyes when he turned his head.Ji Yao's face is very calm, which makes people feel more friendly, so Fu Xin likes it even more in his heart.Ji Yao's eyebrows are like the wings of a flying swallow, and the ends of the eyebrows are neatly trimmed without any mess.His long eyebrows and a pair of eyes that are sometimes melancholy and sometimes cheerful, have an indescribable charm in Fu Zhong's view.

The exam was declared over two hours later, and the examiners lined up and left through the open closed door.Ji Yao stayed behind on the grounds of "taking care of the wounded soldiers", saying that he would send Fu Zhong back alone later.The two of them leaned close to each other for the sake of talking. Ji Yao sat with his upper body slanted for too long, and when he got up, he tripped and fell into Fu Zhong's arms unexpectedly.Fu Zhong stretched out his arms to hug him without thinking, and hugged him into his arms, which saved Ji Yao from being injured.

"Why hug me?" Ji Yao leaned on Fu Zhong's chest and asked, putting the back of his hand against Fu Zhong's neck.

Fu Zhong replied truthfully: "You tripped and fell right into my arms."

"that's it?"

"The other thing is to prevent you from hitting the corner of the table."

"Why don't you let go now?" Ji Yao asked again, although he said so, he never left his body.Fu Zhong's arms were hot and fragrant, making him ecstatic.

Fu Zhong looked down at him and replied: "Follow orders."

Ji Yao laughed and stretched out his arms to hold the table.Fu Zhong knew what he meant, so he let go of his arms and helped him sit up.The two were not talking, and Ji Yao was concentrating on sorting out the papers on the table, but she was excitedly thinking about the embrace just now.The physical contact made him fascinated, he was even dissatisfied with it, and wanted more and deeper communication.It was noon, it was already lunch time, before going out, Fu Zhong shook off his coat and put it on for Ji Yao.

The overcoat was draped over his body to keep Ji Yao warm. Even after he walked out of the training ground and the cool wind blew, he didn't feel the slightest bit of chill.Fu Zhong held the documents for Ji Yao, and was held in Fu Zhong's hands together with his invigilation certificate.On the way to the restaurant, Ji Yao passed a corridor. In this empty no-man's land, Ji Yao suddenly asked Fu Zhong a question: "I know you once visited me in Chengdu. Did you say something strange?"

Fu Zhong smiled slightly, as if thinking of something happy.Most of the injury on his leg has healed, and he can already keep up with Ji Yao's footsteps.He walked a few steps, and after thinking for a while, he said, "No. The most vivid memory I remember was when you asked for water, and I fed you."

He knew he had lied, because more than once.He kept everything Ji Yao said in his heart, and after returning to Beijing, he cried secretly by himself.In the dead of night, whenever he thought of Ji Yao, he couldn't help feeling sad.He met Ji Yao in his dream, dreaming of the scorching sun, dreaming of the dusty ancient city of Asia.The phantoms at night surprised and delighted him, the sweet fear made him tremble all over, and everything in the dream made his heart beat and shake.

Ji Yao copied his pockets with both hands, silently recalling the scene at that time, remembering the touch of warm water flowing into his throat.He raised his hand to lift his hair, and pretended to be humorous: "I just said why Zhu Min's hands are so hard, and they still have a smell. The hands are rough and have calluses."

He wanted Fu Zhong to open his hands.I saw Fu Zhong's fingers were long and strong, and his bones were hard, as if they were made of molten iron.Due to years of touching guns and cannons, thin cocoons have been worn down, and they are very reliable at first glance.Ji Yao looked at his hand for a long time, and finally stretched out his index finger to lightly tap his strong palm: "It's you."

"You know it's me, why are you still holding my hand?"

"You are the only one who came to see me, so of course I have to hold on to it. Otherwise, I'll be the only one living alone, and it would be shameless to say it." Ji Yao casually found a reason to excuse himself, although this reason was clumsy, It's crappy, and it's broken at a glance.

The fire in his heart grew a little higher, Fu Zhong withdrew his hand, squeezed his fingers tightly, trying to firmly grasp the tactile sensation in his palm.He felt a strange reality, so real that he suddenly forgot what night and what night.He felt happy, happy, and at his place, and he could not help but put his whole body and mind into it as if he was sleepwalking.He doesn't think about the future, and he doesn't think about what will be waiting in front of him in the future. He just thinks this moment is the best, and he wants to cherish the sweetness gained when he is awake during the day.

Before parting, Ji Yao stood at the intersection with his pockets in his pocket and asked him, "Why didn't you tell me when you came to see me?"

"I'm afraid you will be angry, and if you are angry, you will punish me."

Ji Yao pressed his eyebrows and smiled, and tiptoed: "Why are you so afraid of me? That's not my intention. I'm not fierce, don't be afraid. If you want to say anything to me in the future, just say it, just like you did yesterday Just as Wan told me, always open up, don't you?"

"I know. You are gentle and kind."

"Don't say that to me suddenly, not everyone can wear a high hat." Ji Yao touched his nose embarrassingly, and turned his face away to prevent Fu Zhong from seeing his beaming expression, "Who taught you to say this of?"

Fu Zhong shook his head and denied it: "No one taught me. This is not a high hat, this is all from my heart. If you tell me what you want to say, just say it, and I will tell the truth."

Ji Yao's neck and earlobe unconsciously became hot, and her heart beat faster.He tried his best to restrain his agitated mood, and said: "The bad guy will take advantage of my loopholes. But be careful with your words. If you piss me off, you won't be able to live a comfortable life."

"Got it, sir." Fu Zhong replied, his eyes were bright when he fell in love, and the earrings under his ears were also bright.

"Go eat, I guess you want to eat strawberry yogurt again." Ji Yao carried his documents from Fu Zhong's arms, "When your leg injury recovers, remember to take the make-up exam, if you think you need to find someone to practice with, Just tell me, and I'll approve it for you."

Fu Zhong nodded, and then added: "I want to have a partner."

Ji Yao raised his eyelids to look at him, and was about to take a pen to write the approval: "Tell me your name and serial number, it happens that the approval list is here, and I will sign it for you by the way."

"Ji Yao." Fu Zhong said, "I want to find this person as a training partner. Sir, is this okay?"
