Arty Records

The next day, Fang Sishen was ordered by his father to wait at home, anxious and restless, forcing himself to think about what he could do.I found the phone numbers of the school's foreign affairs office and the security office, and only said that Wei Deli was missing.He was really worried, and there was no need to exaggerate, the situation was already very serious.The person on duty heard that he was a trainee from Prius, but he took it seriously and said that he would call the police immediately for investigation.

Unexpectedly, when I called again in the afternoon, the other party changed his tone completely: "During the holidays, the personal behavior of international students has nothing to do with the school. In principle, they should all leave the apartment. If they continue to live in the apartment due to special circumstances, it is a rental property." , the school does not guarantee their personal safety and property safety. They are adults with full behavioral capacity, where to go, what to do, it is their freedom..."

Fang Sishen's heart sank for a while, and he hung up dejectedly.

When Fang Duzhi came back in the evening, he looked at his son's hopeful eyes and couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder, but spoke slowly and cut to pieces: "You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, and you can't care about it. According to the news I heard, Huangpa Xiejie was the last A batch of demolition agreements have been signed, some people go back on their word, and there is still trouble afterwards. Three days ago, because of the hot weather, an old man died of an emergency on the spot. The scene was chaotic, and the police were naturally dispatched and arrested many people. Your friend, what do you say that is?"

"Wadely."

"Western name."

Fang Sishen hurriedly said, "Daniel Wheatley."

"It's him. He insisted that he was a reporter from the "Global Times". Before the police arrived, he was involved in a lot of things. How could he not be arrested?"

Fang Sishen was stunned: "How is it possible..." Recalling the whole process of getting to know Wei Deli, he said decisively, "Daniel is definitely not a reporter, there must be a misunderstanding."

Fang Duzhi waved his hand: "It doesn't matter if there is a misunderstanding or not. I think it will be locked up for a few days, and the consulate should come forward to send someone back. Although Xintai Real Estate is considered a big family in the capital, once the identity of this foreign reporter is revealed, it will involve The Foreign Affairs Agency and the Security Agency, no matter how long their hands are, they probably won’t be able to intervene. There should be no personal danger, so learn a lesson and go back to Citigroup to make trouble.”

Fang Sishen felt unwilling: "Father!"

Fang Duzhi held him down: "Besides, how do you know that he is definitely not a reporter? Maybe he came here under a different identity—anything is possible."

Fang Sishen opened his eyes wide: "So what? What did he do? Steal state secrets? Endanger national security? Or harm the interests of the people and disrupt social order?"

Fang Duzhi gently touched his son's head: "Xiao Si, don't say such childish things."

Fang Sishen slacked off, lay down on the bed, stared at the ceiling and said nothing.

Fang Duzhi was silent for a while, sighed softly, and was about to close the door when he saw his son leaning out and asked, "What about uncle? How is he?"

"Your uncle is also a frequent visitor of the Security Department. According to the usual practice, he will stay for ten or eight days. When the limelight passes and the matter subsides, he should go home."

When his father went out, Fang Sishen reached out and turned off the light.It was still too bright, so he covered his eyes with a pillow and let himself sink in complete darkness.

After being dazed for a while, I couldn't help but wonder how I could help Wei Deli - at least find someone and meet him.It is too cruel for a real friend to disappear from life for no apparent reason.

Of course it is impossible to rely on one's own strength.Father - already tried.Looking for a younger sister—Auntie and Auntie Hu are so close, and the uncle can't go home, so it doesn't work.Senior brother, teacher—even more impossible.

Rarely in his life had he been so dizzy with the thought of available connections.If it is personally related to him, he will just hold on to the past, but at this moment he wants to help his friends.This helplessness of knowing that there is a way but the way is out of reach almost brings back many dark memories.

A person's name suddenly appeared in his mind, becoming clearer and clearer.My heart shuddered: If it's his words, maybe... there is really a way.

The number was called out from the address book, and he hesitated again.Fang Sishen is not used to asking for help.Because I was not used to it, I was very clear in my heart: no matter what the result is, as long as I open my mouth, the original very simple relationship will deteriorate.Of course, he may not be able to do it, he is still a half-grown child anyway.Maybe it can be done, it's really bad, what kind of favor is that, and what do I have to pay for it?

After struggling for a long time, I figured it out in an instant. In fact, in the final analysis, it was just whether he was willing to help.Wei Deli is a mutual friend and a good friend. In some respects, young master Hong has much more experience and insight than the scholar himself, so it doesn't hurt to ask.I also forgot that the time was not suitable, and pressed the button to make a call.

The voice on the other end was obviously surprised and happy: "Ha! It's you! How do you know I'm going back today? I just can't sleep, I'm so bored."

The unique rhythm of the train's movement came from the microphone.

Fang Sishen was a little surprised: "You are still in the car? Didn't you say you will be back in a week?"

"There are guests at home, entertaining for my dad, staying for an extra week."

It turned out that when Hong Xinyao returned home this time, when the report card was presented, although he hadn't been beaten, he didn't see his father's good face either.It's not that he didn't think about bringing out the publication of the thesis. The Hong family has never had any intellectuals in generations. If you really know that your son has published the article, it is a matter of smoke from the ancestral grave. Beat the gongs and drums and set up a running water table, and then print tens of thousands of copies, all over the world—at least in Hejin, it must be widely read.There will always be people, such as the researcher Ma from the cultural center, who know the key points and understand what Hong Sishao wrote.This is why Hong Xinyao gritted his teeth and refused to reveal his words in front of his own family.

Staying at home for only two days coincided with Hong Yaoge's old comrade-in-arms visiting.This General Du Xilai is now in an important position in the Northeast Military Region because of his military exploits in the Goguryeo Patriotic War.This low-key entry to Jin, of course, was to visit old comrades in arms, but also to bring his son on a blind date with Miss Hong.In this way, Hong Yulan, who has always been in charge of public relations, is inconvenient to come forward.As a future brother-in-law-to-be, Hong Xinyao wanted to please his own father, making the most of his friendship as a landlord, so Hong Yaoge acquiesced in allowing him to stay at home for one more week.

At this time, Young Master Hong had just boarded the train, lying in the first-class compartment arranged by his second sister, and was bored playing games with his mobile phone. When he received the call, he was full of surprises and chattered in a hurry. It took Fang Sishen a while to interrupt: "To tell you something, Daniel was taken away by the police."

"what?!"

"It's been three days, and I can't find him." Fang Sishen started from Wei Deli's trip to Huangpa Xiejie Alley to take pictures, and continued to talk about the information given by Fang Duzhi.Hong Xinyao didn't make a sound in the middle, and only after he finished speaking, he said bitterly, "This bastard foreign devil really knows how to fix things!"

Fang Sishen hesitated: "Is there any way for you to find out where he is?... No matter how you meet, you can't just repatriate him without explaining anything, and you may never come back..."

Hong Xinyao tapped on the edge of the bed: "I'll find someone to ask for clarification first, don't worry, I'll get back to you in a while. Immediately."

The phone screen went dark, and Fang Sishen suddenly felt that the previous hesitation was unnecessary.

Fang Duzhi pushed open the door: "Xiao Si, who are you calling?"

Fang Sishen raised his head: "It's a friend who knows Daniel."

"You said it so soon?" Seeing his son nodding, he wanted to teach him a few words, but he finally held back and said in a more emphatic tone, "Then you have to make it clear to them. If you don't make it clear, you might hurt others."

"Understood." Fang Sishen agreed, afraid that his father would see the clue, so he turned his back and faced the wall.

Fang Duzhi thought his son was angry, walked over lightly, shook off the Xia quilt and covered him: "Go to bed early."

When the sound of his father's footsteps disappeared completely, he got up and bolted the door. Fang Sishen put the thin quilt over his head, held the phone in the palm of his hand when the ringtone was canceled, and waited quietly.Not long after, the phone vibrated in his hand.

I received a call from Hong Xinyao again, a week later, and asked Fang Sishen to meet and talk in detail.Teacher Fang invites you to lunch, and Young Master Hong doesn't refuse.While eating, while teaching the opportunity face to face.After the meal, someone was called to show Fang Sishen the way. Young Master Hong put his hands in the pockets of his shorts and introduced him casually: "This is my god-brother I told you about earlier." He turned his head and said, "I won't accompany you." It’s inconvenient for you to go. We must persuade the foreign devil to be honest and do as we agreed. If he is not willing, he would rather be sent back to the country, and he will do as he pleases.”

The man called by Hong Xinyao was young, with a neat suit and a white-collar elite temperament. He handed over a business card with both hands respectfully, but he called "Young Master Fang" when he opened his mouth. He was half wealthy and half quack.How often has Fang Sishen been called that by someone, and he didn't know how to react for a while, so he reluctantly greeted: "That...I'm Fang Sishen, hello!"

"Young Master Fang can just call me Xiao Li." The young man smiled and stretched out his hand, "Young Master Hong, then I will leave with Young Master Fang first. Young Master Fang please."

Before putting the business card into his pocket, Fang Sishen glanced at it. The title printed on it was: "Manager of Marketing Department of Xintai Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.".

Xiao Li came here by car.The car drove out of the city and went straight to the suburbs.We drove until we could no longer see the suburban bus, passed several orchards and villages, and then stopped in front of a big iron gate.There are high fences on both sides of the iron gate, and there are no signboards at the gate, except for the guards on both sides with sentries and armed with live ammunition, Fang Sishen can't recognize what system they belong to.

Xiao Li showed a certificate, and the car drove in directly.After passing it on twice more, I waited for nearly a quarter of an hour in a small reception room with tempered glass partitions, and finally saw Wei Deli coming out of it.

Seeing Fang Sishen, Wei Deli rushed forward in three steps at a time, lying on the glass partition and trembling, his eyes were red in an instant.

"Fang! How do you know I'm here? Great! Are you here to pick me up? Can I go out?"

Fang Sishen looked him up and down carefully, except for his haggard face, there was nothing unusual about him.Ask: "Daniel, are you okay?"

Xiao Li turned around and quietly stuffed an envelope into the pocket of the person accompanying him, and the person went out, and then the guards escorting Wade Li also exited through the door inside.

"Daniel, I'm not here to pick you up." Fang Sishen said solemnly, ignoring Wei Deli who was disappointed, "Listen, they say you are a reporter and they want to send you back to China. I asked Hong to help me to see you It’s not easy on one side, and we’ll find a way to help you get out. Tell me now, why do they say you’re a reporter?”

"I didn't say it, it was someone else. The man with the kitchen knife in his hand thought I was a foreign reporter. At that time, an old man fell ill suddenly. I was taking pictures. He dragged me over and asked me to take more pictures. .Then the police came, and he said that there are foreign journalists here. If they arrest people, they will send the photos to foreign countries, and then the police will arrest us all. At first I was with Mr. Fang, and after a day I was sent here Here they come, they took my phone, my camera, my passport, and I'm not allowed to communicate with anyone..."

He was treated well in the detention center, at least there was absolutely no physical attack, but he was frightened a lot.After several days of fear and anxiety, suddenly seeing someone close to him, a big man, almost tears came down.

Fang Sishen waited for him to finish, and asked: "Then do you still want to stay, stay in Xia Kingdom?" After experiencing such a change, this big Xia culture fan might be sad and disappointed.

Wei Deli nodded immediately: "Of course! I must complete my advanced studies, and I will come again in the future."

Fang Sishen approached, lowered his voice and instructed carefully, and finally left a pack of daily necessities and a change of clothes.He couldn't get into Wedley's apartment, so some of his things were found at home, and some of them were bought on the spot.Weideli's eyes were moist, he stared at him and kept saying thank you.If it wasn't for the tempered glass, he would definitely rush up and give her a big hug.When it was time to say goodbye, I thought of Fang Minzhi and asked, "Mr. Fang, how are your uncle and others doing?"

Fang Sishen shook his head sadly: "I don't know." He could ask Hong Xinyao to help save Wei Deli, but Fang Min's personality and affairs are beyond their control.

After Fang Sishen's visit, Wei Deli admitted in a subsequent interrogation in the detention center that he had impersonated a reporter for fame and money.Just at this time, Xintai Real Estate Company sued Daniel Wheatley, an overseas student from Citigroup, in court, claiming that he was extorting money.The case, along with the suspect, was transferred to the district court.On the eve of the trial, the plaintiff withdrew the lawsuit and the defendant was acquitted.After going around in circles like this, Wei Deli finally saw the light of day again, and the wonderful summer vacation was almost over.

Fang Sishen couldn't bear to resign from the detention center to pick him up. Hong Xinyao escaped from the cram school for a day and insisted on following him.Of course, Teacher Fang disapproved of students skipping classes, but the whole thing was done with the help of the other party.

The two first accompanied the foreign devil to the consulate to explain the situation.According to the regulations, no matter what the reasons are for foreign citizens being detained, they should notify the consulate in time.Sensitive incidents like Wadeley's this time are usually delayed by the relevant parties for a few days, and the consulate is notified after a preliminary conclusion is reached, and then the two sides further mediate and contest.Of course, if a famous person disappears for no reason, the consulate can get the news immediately and take corresponding measures.However, Wei Deli is not a well-known figure yet. The consulate just received a notice from the Xia government to repatriate him, and he became the defendant in a fraud case and was detained in a blink of an eye. Therefore, he needs to come to the door to explain after he comes out.

In fact, what Wei Deli was most worried about was that the consulate didn't know the details, and rashly sent the news back to China, alarming Price University and his family, which would be really troublesome.Fortunately, the Citigroup Consulate in Daxia handled such incidents very frequently, and the staff were very calm and did not disclose the news at all.Only then did Wei Deli call home to report his safety, falsely claiming that he had gone on a trip to the northwest, and the reason why he hadn't contacted him for many days was because there was no signal in the mountainous area.

After finishing these trivial matters, I treated my two benefactors to dinner at the most famous western restaurant in the embassy district.

Said to be two benefactors, from the beginning to the end, those blue and watery eyes were glued to one person.

"Fang, I really don't know how to thank you. The ancients said: A friend in need is a friend, if it wasn't for you this time..."

Hong Xinyao knocked on the plate with a knife and fork: "Hey, you figure it out, I fished you out of that ghostly place, young master!" Because he was unskilled, the knife and fork were covered with sauce and splashed gorgeously. It was all over the cloth napkin.Fortunately, there were not many people in the restaurant and the lights were dim, so it didn't attract attention.The waiter didn't look sideways, and came up to change a napkin for him.

Wei Deli turned to look at him, and sincerely thanked him: "I'm sorry, Hong, I also want to thank you solemnly, thank you for your generous help. I don't know what gift you like? I will ask my family to send it from China. Or please, and Fang, how about inviting you to my house as guests?"

Young Master Hong curled his lips: "Rare!"

Fang Sishen interjected with a smile: "Daniel, you might as well help him improve his Spanish test scores."

Young Master Hong gritted his teeth: "Cut!" Suddenly remembered something, and said to Wei Deli with a serious face, "I said you, a foreigner, what are you messing with? Next time, Da Luo Immortal will not be able to save you! After learning this lesson, you should keep your eyes open and don't be so stupid."

Wei Deli didn't care about his tone, and nodded: "I know, this time, your official people remembered the name. If there is trouble next time, I will definitely not be able to stay. I will be more careful in the future."

Listen to that meaning, just don't intend to give up.Hong Xinyao was about to speak, but Fang Sishen spoke on the other side: "Daniel, I can understand your feelings, but it's really dangerous. Please follow the advice of your friends and don't do things that put yourself in danger."

Wei Deli nodded again and again, changed the subject and talked about the unforgettable life in the detention center, and repeatedly expressed how grateful he was to see the tea and chocolate in the bag Fang Sishen gave him.

Hong Xinyao couldn't get in the conversation, so he buried his head in hard work.Suppressing his nausea, he ordered an extra portion of the most expensive snail, oyster and foie gras on the menu.
