It is late at night, and the city seems to have fallen asleep, leaving only sporadic neon lights and rows of street lights shining lonely.

The usually congested ring road suddenly became unimpeded, and a speeding car rushed towards the east of the city under the speed limit in the road network monitoring, breaking the quiet night.

Half an hour ago, Li Yang strode away under the astonished gazes of Guan Zhengcheng and his dogs, without explaining or looking back.

On the way, he called Wu Tong up.

——Wu Tong, who was sleepy, was able to answer the phone thanks to the conditioned reflex he had practiced over the years, and his brain was still awake, so he blurted out: Boss, you order.

He has followed Li Yang since he left school, he knows too well that the boss is not someone who is just looking for trouble, if he can make a call at this time, then it is not trivial.

"You take someone to see Cui Qiang as soon as the day breaks, stabilize him first, and get to the bottom of it." Li Yang didn't talk nonsense, and said directly, "Fang Hu is in the Lanting security guards, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

"Fuck." Wu Tong rarely swears dirty words, but after uttering it, he feels inappropriate, so he hurriedly said, "I'll go right away."

Li Yang turned his direction and got off the loop, "The audio and video recordings are all on, if you see someone, please send me a message."

There was a rustling sound from Wu Tong's side, he was getting up to tidy up, "Understood." He said.

The car drove into the basement, and the surroundings were too quiet, only the sound of tires scraping the ground.

And this strong contrast between stillness and movement makes people feel uneasy—maybe it's the biological clock, and in the early morning, the tense nerves are vulnerable to a single blow.

On the elevator, Li Yang vigorously raked his hair, as if trying to shake off his fatigue.

The elevator running smoothly was as slow as an old turtle at this time, Li Yang was in a hurry, he took a step forward, and stepped out of the door in an instant.

On the twelfth floor, the heavy metal-clad solid wood door is in good condition, without any trace of damage.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and there was some unexplained urgency in his cautiousness.

People's weakness is probably born in this way unconsciously, it is intertwined with the skin and flesh silently, and it hurts to touch it.

When he entered the door, he glanced at the wooden box brought back the night before, was startled, and then felt helpless—even forgot about it.

Inside the box was a gift for Xu Yaochen.

For Xu Yaochen's birthday in September, he gave away a piggy bank. At that time, Wu Tong stuffed the bear into the bag with a gritty face. help nonsense.It wasn't until a while later that he formed a game with others, and the topic of "gifts" was brought up during the exchange of cups and cups. The men present counted one by one, voicing bitterness in the open and showing off in secret, and each of them almost wanted to engrave the word "wit" on their foreheads.

So when he went out, Li Yang thought about it.

Later, by chance, he got a pretty good Hetian jade raw stone, so he asked Wu Tong to take it to the master craftsman to cut it up and carve a small gadget. When the thing came out, he asked someone to lead him to the temple for a consecration. .

After several twists and turns, it lay in the wooden box.

He carried the wooden box into the room and saw that Xu Yaochen was sleeping peacefully on the bed.

A person occupied most of the seats, with long legs stretched out, hooked under the quilt under the belly, with messy hair on his face, and his face was tied on the edge of Li Yang's pillow.

Sleeping is really ugly enough.

Li Yang stood by the bed and looked at it for a while, but couldn't hold it back, bent over to fiddle with his weed-like hair tops, the palms were warm, and the hair tips scratched his palms like soft thorns.

The blackout curtain was drawn, and the night light in the corner let in the faint light, which wiped Xu Yaochen's side face with a layer of cold white.

It looks cool, but it's hot when rubbed against it.

Li Yang scratched his face with his fingers, kissed the tight and thin flesh of his cheekbone, and pinched the tip of his nose before giving up.

Xu Yaochen was soundly asleep, so he asked someone to fiddle with him, waving his hands back to wake up, to wave away the disturbing troublemaker.

Seeing his stupid look, Li Yang was amused, took out the pendant from the wooden box and wrapped it around his wrist, patted his buttocks, and coaxed him like a child, "Okay, don't bother you, go to sleep."

It is late in winter, and when the first rising light hits the terrace, it is already 05:30 in the morning.

Li Yang stared on the sofa for an hour, like clockwork, and opened his eyes before there was any movement from the phone.

He napped with his arms on his forehead, stared at the ceiling for a moment, then got up and went to the guest bathroom to wash up.After taking a hot shower, my energy level is still good, and I don’t feel tired even after I have endured a lot of energy. When I change my clothes, I immediately feel refreshed.

At [-]:[-], he turned on the whole house security system, then went downstairs to pick up his car, intending to go directly to the Hilton next door - sitting and waiting is not his habit of doing things, and he will naturally take the initiative when he can take the initiative.

When the car drove out of the basement, Wu Tong's phone happened to come in, and he said, "Boss, there's a traffic jam."

The time was just right, Li Yang said, "Hold on to him, I'll be there in five minutes."

The streamlined body of the car penetrated into the street surrounded by two rows of ginkgo trees, the air was dark and the ground was golden, and a row of dead leaves was raised.

Xu Yaochen slept until dawn, woke up and looked at his watch, good guy, it's almost eleven o'clock.

When he moved his hand, something was wrong, and when he took a closer look, hey, there was a heavy piece of jade wrapped around his wrist.

It was a puppy carved from jade. The carving was exquisite without rigid lines, which was very different from the mass-produced pendants outside.If you have to say it, it is the temperature that has been manually studied by craftsmen.

Xu Yaochen doesn't understand jade, but he also knows that this kind of pear-blossom white, which is smooth to the touch and delicate to look at, was not drawn from the tourist distribution center.

He made eye contact with the puppy against the light, looked at it for a while, and then smiled - looking at this dog's face, he didn't need to verify his identity, but he knew it was brought by Li Yang.

His appreciation of dogs has been the same for ten years.

Xu Yaochen untied the puppy and put it in the box on the second-to-last shelf of the chest of drawers, and made a home on the velvet cloth side by side with a rough wooden carved puppy.

He didn't announce the arrangement, and stretched out his lazy muscles, and it took half an hour to finish washing.

I came out and looked at my phone, and there were several missed calls and text messages, all of which were from unfamiliar numbers, and there was also a voice from Cui Qiang: "The creditor has come to the door. According to them, Fang Hu was scared to pee. In the past two days they I have been following the old bastard, not far or near, I guess he dare not even sleep. According to his cowardly behavior, it is almost time to find you. Brother, you wake up and call me, don't go out alone, do you hear me?"

It was sent at [-]:[-] in the morning.

When I opened the text message again, I saw that I had received a long list, and there were not many good words.

-Xiao Cheng, I'm your uncle, answer the phone and talk about something.

- I told you to answer the phone!

-Don't think you can escape without picking you up, I know where you live.

- Big star, if you don't pick me up, I'll go to the TV station!

-I'm dead, don't even think about having good fruit!

-[Location]

- Come to this place to meet me before 1:[-] pm, come alone, one minute late, I will tell you to walk around without eating!

What Fang Hu sent was an old shipyard near the river. Xu Yaochen checked it online and found that it had been abandoned for more than ten years.This dilapidated place has been said to be taken over by companies in recent years, but no one has really reached out, so it was abandoned there, becoming a rotten sore in the city, and no one cares about it.

Xu Yaochen was not in a hurry to talk to Fang Hu, he first went to the kitchen to unpack a box of instant noodles, and then curled up on the sofa to call Cui Qiang.

"Hey, brother."

"Ancestor, you are calling, I am scared to death." Cui Qiang said.

Xu Yaochen was a little ashamed, he slept too soundly this time, "Fang Hu posted a location, let me go to the old shipyard to find him alone."

Cui Qiang didn't say a word for a while, and then scolded after a while: "Idiot, I've watched too many Hong Kong movies."

"I'll send you the address, and I'll go first when the time comes, and you guys fix the video equipment nearby." Xu Yaochen was thinking about his plan, and he didn't feel that the plan was leaking like a sieve at all, "I have a text message from him on my phone , and there is video evidence that the extortionist who accused him has not escaped."

"Come on," Cui Qiang sang, "Brother, go forward boldly."

After hanging up the phone, the noodles were healed, the texture was half-hard but not soft, rough but not greasy, Xu Yaochen choked on a feeling of dislike and finished chewing.The unpalatable food made him crave the delicious food in his memory—the beef noodles in Laoli Noodle House are not like this. The wide and flat noodles are firm and springy, and the stewed beef is soft and rotten. After the hot soup, the whole person can be ironed and comfortable.

It's a pity that I haven't eaten it for 11 years.

It's strange.
