Confrontation in the abyss

"This is a joke, Zhou Cho. Every living person is a villain. I will pay attention to you, not because of how clean you are and how much I yearn for light. That's a plot that only exists in third-rate novels. I don't need it." Salvation. I don’t believe in God either.”

"You only believe in yourself, what else do you need?"

"You." Anson looked up at the ceiling.

"If you're going to keep me here forever, one day I'll go crazy. I'll kill you."

"Let me see what you can use as a weapon in this room." Anson looked around very seriously, "Well, the desk lamp. I'm sure to hold that lamp with your strength and hit me in the face, Not even Richard would recognize me. And the sheets, you can strangle me with the sheets, you can suffocate me with the pillows... Ah, and that vase, when broken, the shards are sharp enough to cut Breaking my throat is also very appropriate... But let me tell you, it is a masterpiece of postmodernism, worth more than 100 million US dollars, and its creator just died last month, so it has appreciated..."

Zhou Cho took a deep breath, fell down and pulled up the quilt, ignoring An Sen's chirping.

"Are you sleepy? Then go to sleep."

An Sen also lay down, but just as he was about to wrap his arms around Zhou Tiao, he blocked him.

These days and nights, Anson sleeps beside him.Zhou Cho didn't even know what was in this guy's head.

Zhou Cho has been recovering from illness, basically staying in this room.The only exit from the room was the door, and the living room outside the door was always guarded by bodyguards.Zhou Cho knew that it was impossible for him to escape.He even thought about holding An Sen hostage, but even though An Sen was lying beside him, Zhou Cho found sadly that he didn't even have a usable weapon.

A few days ago, medical staff came to remove the gauze from Zhou Chou's head.He had two or three millimeters of hair growing out, and it looked fluffy. Anson liked the touch very much, and kept rubbing his palms on the top of Zhou Cho's head, as if he was teasing a pet.Zhou Cho even got angry and almost shaved himself bald with a razor.

At night, An Sen lay beside Zhou Choo.In order to stay away from him, Zhou Cho had no choice but to curl up on one side of the bed, but fortunately he slept soundly and would not toss and turn, otherwise he would have rolled over the bed countless times.

And Anson always leaned over after he fell asleep, wrapping his arms around him.Sometimes when Zhou Cho knew that guy was kissing the back of his neck, Zhou Cho would turn around and punch him without hesitation.Perhaps it was because his nerve response was not as fast as before. As soon as he raised his wrist, Anson would grab him, and there was no chance of hitting him.

For this reason, Zhou Cho felt extremely annoyed.

One night, Zhou Cho shook off Ansen's arms around him, turned over and stared at him fiercely.

In this dark room, An Sen's eyes were unexpectedly bright, like a stream flowing through a gap in time, quietly flowing through the corners of Zhou Chou's eyes and brows.

"Did you sleep too much during the day and can't sleep at night?" His voice can be described as gentle.

Different from the deliberate gentleness of Red Scorpion, An Sen's words seemed to carefully wrap Zhou Choo up.

"I would have slept so much better if you hadn't been lying here!"

"But at least it proves that not every time you are with me will be in danger."

"You stole me from the intensive care unit of the hospital, isn't it dangerous?" Zhou Zhao gritted his teeth. Now he doesn't know what the New York branch is like.Zhou Cho can only judge how many days he is here by relying on his three meals a day.

"Indeed, I shouldn't lock you up like this. You need to receive sunlight, otherwise it will affect the vitamin B in your body." Anson was not in a hurry.

"I am not your pet, Anson Lorenzo."

"I know. Your skull looks almost fine. The weather is fine these days, do you want to go out and bask in the sun?"

"I'm sure my organization will find me as long as I'm in the sun. So you won't let me out."

Leslie must have been watching Anson at this moment.

"If you kiss me, I'll really let you out in the sun tomorrow."

Believe you, my brain is really broken.

Zhou Cho turned around.

Instead of trusting Anson, he would rather find a way to get out of this ghost place by himself.

But the most important thing is that he has the opportunity to leave this room.

"Trust is the hardest thing in the world. You never believed everything I said to you."

"Because I can't afford to trust you."

But what Zhou Cho never expected was that after breakfast the next day, An Sen actually took Zhou Cho to the outdoor balcony of the mansion to bask in the sun.

The sunlight in the morning was not strong, and some trees and flowers were planted on the open-air balcony. Although Zhou Chou couldn't pronounce their names, he knew that these trees came from the tropical rainforest.Occasionally, a few birds stopped on the treetops, chirping and calling.In the center of the terrace is a European-style tea table. You can faintly smell the fragrance of high-quality coffee, which blends with the fragrance of plants, and is locked in this terrace.

Zhou Cho closed his eyes, he hadn't breathed such fresh air for a long time.

"Guess, from the moment you sit here, how long will it take for your organization to come to rescue you?" Anson held a newspaper in his hand and crossed his legs, in a comfortable gesture.

"If you're so confident, then no one will come. I'm curious, what terms did you negotiate with the New York branch?"

"The head of your New York branch is Owen Lister. Now your focus is on MASSIVE's behind-the-scenes forces. Compared with them, I'm pretty safe. So I told your boss, just keep you by my side Rest, I will fully cooperate with them to find the three major shareholders of MASSIVE."

"Fully cooperate with Interpol? Anson Lorenzo, you have fallen." Zhou Cho sneered, "Tell me, besides Red Scorpion, who are the other two major shareholders?"

"Do you know who the next term might end up being mayor of New York?"

"Bingley Wayne. Very popular, and I read the papers a lot."

"Why is his voice so loud?" Anson asked meaningfully.

"Because he is committed to improving employment, fighting financial crimes, and he is also good-looking, female voters will like him more." Zhou Tuo paused, "But since you asked, the answer must not be this."

"And because he is Corsimin's illegitimate son."

"Kerximin...that big banker?" Zhou Cho was taken aback.Korsimin is known as the golden finger in the financial world, and his family wealth is incalculable.

"His illegal income must be quite a lot. But it can be laundered through MASSIVE. At first I didn't connect MASSIVE with Korsimin. Then I found a very interesting thing, that is, MASSIVE has more than half of the huge amount The loans are all made from Corsimina’s bank. After the funds have been circulated, the illegal gains are bleached and returned to the bank under the Westminster family.”

"So no matter how you think about it, the relationship between Keximin and MASSIVE must be close. Even if he is not one of the behind-the-scenes shareholders of MASSIVE, it is worthy of in-depth investigation. But if it is him, I am afraid that the Financial Crimes Division will take action. And you would like to Cooperate fully with Interpol, in the final analysis, I just don’t want MASSIVE to stand with you.” Zhou Zhao felt lazy all over, maybe it’s been too long since he’s been exposed to sunlight, he’s just woken up not long ago, and now he’s sleepy again.

An Sen flipped through the newspaper, his eyes unconsciously resting on Zhou Cho's side face.

"When your health is better, let's find a place for vacation."

"casual."

"Actually, we don't need to think too complicated about everything in front of us. Don't you feel tired playing the role of another person before?" An Sen's casual words hit Zhou Cho's heart, "You know I didn't kill you?" What do you mean? In this case, why not enjoy everything I give you, anyway, you will not lose a piece of meat, and I don't need you to pay back." Anson folded the newspaper and pushed the snack in front of Zhou Choo, "how about Let go of everything and live in the moment.”

Zhou Choo burst out laughing: "It's beyond my expectation that such philosophical words come out of your mouth."

"I have also been to Tibet and paid homage to Buddha. Although I don't believe in religion, the scriptures explained by those lamas are very artistic."

Zhou Cho picked up a piece of cookie casually, the rich butter flavor was not sticky, and even the sweetness was just right.There is no astringency in the entrance of the coffee, and the aftertaste is endless between the mellowness.Zhou Cho suddenly realized that he hadn't sat like this for a long time, thinking about nothing.Now that he has been sold to Anson by the organization, it is better to calm down and treat it as a vacation.

Richard came over, "Sir, Miss Eva's phone number."

Anson put down the newspaper and left the terrace.Eva's voice on the phone was a little high.

"It's been two months, how long are you going to keep Dean in?"

"It's rare that you care so much about an Interpol."

"Since you know he is an Interpol, you still imprison him, why on earth?"

"Because I want him by my side. Eva, I know Dean means a lot to you, and he's the only one you've considered a friend over the years."

"Anson. You and I may not be considered absolute friends, but we have hardly become enemies in the past. I hope we can maintain such a relationship in the future. I want to remind you that Dean is not a raised A canary in a cage, he always has the desire to take off, even if you break his wings, he will not settle down in your cage." Eva said coldly and hung up the phone.

Anson took a breath, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Yeah, that's why I have such a headache."

Back on the terrace, Zhou Cho was squatting on the ground looking at a bunch of small flowers.

Anson sat back far away, the coffee in the cup was still warm.

Zhou Chou seemed to have forgotten the time. He remembered that a long time ago, when he and Emily first met in college, she held such a large bouquet of flowers in her hand, swaying in the wind.

"Zhou Cho, what are you thinking?" An Sen saw him squatting there for almost 10 minutes.

Zhou Tuo came to his senses, and when he stood up, he felt dizzy and fell backwards.An Sen put down his cup and rushed over to support Zhou Cho.

The glass fell off the edge of the table and shattered with a thud.

"Are you okay?" An Sen helped Zhou Cho up.

"I just got dizzy all of a sudden. How long have I been here?"

"A month and a half."

"I want to shoot a flying saucer, or ride a horse." Zhou Zhou ignored An Sen's expression and returned to the table.

"You can't do these in a short period of time. Riding bumps and shooting have a certain impact on the cervical spine."

"It's really boring." Zhou Cho returned to his seat and looked at the sky in a daze.

And his boring image was also sent to Leslie's computer immediately.

The moment he saw Zhou Choo, Leslie called Leila over.

"This is Zhou Chou... An Sen is next to him! Sure enough, that guy took him away!" Leila was extremely surprised, "Our people can't monitor his mansion at close range. How did you get this picture? ?”

"I'm just attached to the satellite system, and the principle is the same as GOOGLE. As I expected, Zhou Chip is in the hands of Anson." Leslie was ready to go, "Call your team, we can go!"

"Where are you going?" The voice of Liszt, the head of the New York branch, sounded, and the entire information team looked over.

"We've found Zhou Tiao's location. Let's rush there."

"Zhou Cho is still on task." Liszt glanced at everyone and motioned them to sit down, "His identity as Dean Yang will continue to be retained."

"What—" Leila raised her voice.

Leslie calmed down instantly, "What agreement did you reach with Anson Lorenzo?"

Liszt pulled a chair and sat down, the atmosphere in the air was a little suffocating, "When Zhou Chou fully recovers, Anson Lorenzo will let him go, the organization is still studying to let Zhou Choo continue to play Dean Yang, Yang Jin's side There is no problem. And Anson will help us figure out the three forces behind MASSIVE."

"So you sold Zhou Chou?" Leslie raised his voice.

Lister has always regarded Leslie as an indispensable talent, especially under his leadership, Leslie's team is very cohesive, and the speed of information collection is three to four times faster than before, plus Leslie himself He is a very rigorous person. He can often grasp some critical information that ordinary people don't pay attention to.In Liszt's eyes, talented people are very stubborn, and right now he has to think about how to persuade this stubborn Leslie.
