cold lover

Tan Jizhong drove aimlessly on the street, keeping an eye on the pedestrians on both sides.

The corners of his eyebrows twitched when he saw a thin figure in front of him, and he immediately slowed down.But after passing by the man's side and seeing his face clearly, a burst of disappointment surged up.

It wasn't Xiao Nuo, although he knew it was not at first sight, but he was still looking forward to it.

Xiao Nuo...

Tan Jizhong sighed in disappointment, parked the car on the side of the road, leaned back in the seat, and stared blankly at the roof of the car.

It's already the third day, he went to school several times, but he couldn't find Xiao Nuo, and later he asked Tan Qingchen and Fang Zian and said he couldn't get in touch.

Xiao Nuo actually left so silently, without leaving him the slightest clue, or even a sign...

Tan Jizhong smiled wryly, did he want to disappear from his world?

That night they hugged and slept together, he was so happy that he almost suffocated, thinking that Xiao Nuo had accepted his feelings head-on, but it turned out that he just wanted to leave the last piece of tenderness for himself...

Closing his eyes tiredly, the relatives of Tanji Center were extremely ashamed. It was really useless to say that he loved him, but he didn't know his thoughts at all...

After a long time, when he was about to see Xiao Nuo again in his dream, there was a "dong dong" knock on the window.

Tan Jizhong opened his eyes dimly, and after seeing the other party's face clearly, his mind instantly cleared up.

Maybe... this person knows where Xiao Nuo is.

.............

At this moment, it was working time in the afternoon, and there were only a few customers sitting in the coffee shop.

Tan Jizhong stirred the coffee lightly, thinking about how to ask.

Although he knew that Xiao Nuo rejected the person in front of him, but also because of this, he felt that he saw hope.Because his intuition told him that this person knew about Xiao Nuo's past.

Seeing his hesitation, Zhang Chongping spoke first, "Mr. Tan, I heard that you are a writer?"

Tan Jizhong looked up, "Well, yes."

Although the other party smiled gently, he couldn't hide his scrutiny.

Zhang Chongping nodded knowingly. In fact, he had already investigated Tan Jizhong.

"Heh, I'm Zhang Chongping from the Criminal Investigation Division of City B. You can call me Officer Zhang."

Tan Jizhong nodded lightly when he heard the words, and thought for a while, "Officer Zhang, can I ask you something about Xiao Nuo?"

Zhang Chongping's eyes flashed, he took a sip of coffee, and asked, "Why do you want to know?"

Why?Of course it was because I loved him and wanted to know everything about him, so that I could know how to help him bear the burden.It's just that Tan Jizhong couldn't say these words to the person Xiao Nuo rejected.

Zhang Chongping chuckled, put down his glass, "Are you looking for him?"

In the past few days, he ran into Tan Jizhong several times on the street. Seeing his haggard and anxious appearance, he was obviously looking for someone.

"...Well." Tan Jizhong frowned, looked down at the black espresso in the cup, "Xiao Nuo is gone."

Zhang Chongping couldn't bear to look at him, "Xiao Nuo has too many things to let go of, that's why he chooses to escape."

The corner of Tan Jizhong's mouth twitched lightly but he was speechless. He admitted that Xiao Nuo was avoiding him, but every time he admitted it, his heart would unconsciously hurt more.Isn't it because you don't trust me that you will escape?

Zhang Chongping sighed softly, "Mr. Tan, there are some things, Xiao Nuo thinks it's better for you not to know than to know."

Tan Jizhong raised his head and chuckled, "Officer Zhang, if you think so, you won't be sitting here with me."

He would take the initiative to find himself, didn't he mean to tell himself.

"Heh, you are very good at reasoning people's hearts." Zhang Chongping laughed awkwardly, then looked at him closely, "Mr. Tan, do you really love Xiao Nuo?"

Tan Jizhong was slightly startled, but his eyes flashed with determination, "Yes!"

Zhang Chongping smiled lightly, "That's good." Only in this way can I dare to tell you what happened.

"You are the eldest son of the Tan family. You must be no stranger to the power struggle in city B ten years ago."

Tan Jizhong nodded. Ten years ago, in City B, there were two power struggles. The situation was turbulent for a while. The old man took advantage of this opportunity to break into the northern market, so he invested in one of them.Although he was young at that time, because the other power that the old man was targeting was his mother's friend Qin Haoyun, he secretly paid a lot of attention.

Zhang Chongping shook his head with a distressed expression, "Thinking of that period of time, it was really chaotic. Speaking of which, Xiao Nuo was just a victim of that battle. In fact, it was not only Xiao Nuo, but even the Huayan Gang, the number one underworld force in City B at that time, And me and a group of brothers under me are all pawns in their struggle."

Zhang Chongping let out a long sigh, "You should already know that Xiao Nuo is Xu Hannuo from the Huayan Gang's Xizhi back then, right?"

"En." Tan Jizhong nodded, Xiao Nuo left the day after he knew about it.

Zhang Chongping narrowed his eyes slightly, and fell into memories, "At that time, the old suzerain of the Huayan Gang passed away, and civil strife broke out in their gang, and the east and west branches suppressed each other to fight for power. Xiao Nuo can also be regarded as the big brother of the Huayan Gang's west branch. It’s just that Yin Shaotian, the boss of Xizhi, rarely let him come out, and blocked the news of his existence very well. Heh, his mother and I didn’t know that he had contacts with those people at the beginning, until the higher-ups sent me to follow Yin Shaotian , I discovered by accident..."

Zhang Chongping paused, stroking the rim of the cup with his index finger, not knowing how to continue.

Tan Jizhong guessed, "You... told her mother?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chongping put down his hands, smiled wryly and nodded, he really wished he hadn't done that.

"Xiao Nuo's mother was very nervous when she found out. She blamed herself for not raising Xiao Nuo well, but she didn't dare to mention these things to Xiao Nuo directly. I... Heh, I like his mother, so seeing her like that made me feel bad. At this moment, And urged to track Yin Shaotian's progress, I...I..." Zhang Chongping hesitated to speak for several times, but finally let out a sigh.

Tan Jizhong frowned slightly and guessed the follow-up, he... used their mother and son...

Zhang Chongping lowered his head, "Oh... I gave Xiao Nuo's mother a bug and told her to put it into his cell phone when Xiao Nuo wasn't paying attention, but Xiao Nuo's mother didn't dare at first because she was afraid that Yin Shaotian would find out , Xiao Nuo would be in danger, so I told her that if Xiao Nuo didn't come back, she would be in danger every day, if she wanted Xiao Nuo to come back, she had to rely on this to catch Yin Shaotian first, and Xiao Nuo's mother agreed. "

Zhang Chongping raised his head to look at him, his eyes sparkled with pleading, "Actually, I really just wanted to bring Xiao Nuo back..."

Tan Jizhong looked at him without words, and indeed he couldn't tell whether he was right or wrong, maybe he would do the same thing himself.

"At that time, the two major powers were fighting openly and secretly, and they both wanted to make their first-class contributions by smashing the No. [-] underworld Huayan Gang. Longchang of the East Branch and Yin Shaotian of the West Branch were all targeted. It's just that the situation in the West Branch was even more pessimistic, because the East Branch Zhi has recruited many older generations of the Huayan Gang to sweep them away. When Yin Shaotian was pressed, he wanted to open his own way, and wanted to join forces with the Southeast Asian gangsters to open up the domestic underworld market, so as to become independent from the Huayan Gang. His move is not small , the bureau soon received news that the two major powers reported to the provincial capital at the same time, and finally the provincial capital decided to start with Yin Shaotianxia and Qin Haoyun's forces to take over the case. I immediately applied for a job when I heard about it, huh, actually I'm not from Qin Haoyun, it's just that this matter is about Xiaonuo, I can't leave it alone. Qin Haoyun didn't approve it at the beginning, but the case itself is a hot potato, if you are not careful, you may be obliterated by the underworld, even if you can prevent the underworld I retreated completely, but no matter what, I have already offended one party, so everyone in the bureau wanted to be safe and safe, and no one dared to pick it up. In the end, Qin Haoyun had no choice but to give me instructions."

"Later, by eavesdropping on their calls, I learned the exact time and address of the transaction, and also knew that Yin Shaotian went there in person. I felt much more at ease, and felt that Xiao Nuo could finally be rescued. After the notification went up, the wanted document was issued immediately, and we So I took my brothers there. Heh, I was really happy and looking forward to it along the way. I thought that Xiao Nuo would come back when I caught Yin Shaotian, and Xiao Nuo's mother would not have to worry. But I never expected that, after waiting When we arrived at the scene, what we saw... turned out to be Xiao Nuo..."

When I saw Xiao Nuo at that time, the mixed feelings of shock, remorse, and helplessness reappeared in my mind, Zhang Chongping closed his eyes in pain, "...I don't even know when I changed to Xiao Nuo..."

Tan Jizhong listened quietly, his brows were already furrowed, he subconsciously imagined that scene, imagining Xiao Nuo's reaction when he saw Police Officer Zhang, it must be very uncomfortable...

He sighed silently, and he didn't know how to express his current chaotic mood.

"Oh, I really regret that I didn't catch Xiao Nuo and his brother quickly... Otherwise, those tragic things would not have happened..."

Seeing Zhang Chongping's miserable and powerless face, Tan Jizhong was horrified, "...what do you mean?"

"I said... we are just pawns..." Zhang Chongping raised his head, his eyes blank as if he had returned to the scene that night, "When we rushed up, suddenly hundreds of people broke in and took us, Xiao Nuo and the others together. Surrounded to death...they are all from Dongzhi, and each of them has a light machine gun..."

Tan Jizhong's lips parted slightly, eyes full of disbelief, meaning Xiao Nuo...Have you ever experienced a tragic hail of bullets?

Zhang Chongping sighed with trembling voice, "That night... that night was simply hell on earth..."

Zhang Chongping closed his eyes, it seemed that he could still hear those desperate cries, he could still smell the strong smell of blood, he could still see the blood all over the ground...

"...Is it the news revealed by the power of the other party?"

Zhang Chongping nodded lightly, "Hmph, for them, they can kill multiple birds with one stone. They used the hands of the underworld to eliminate the forces that were unfaithful to them without losing a single bit. The Yan Clan was also smashed in half..."

Tan Jizhong lowered his head slightly, his brows were furrowed tightly. His father actually united with such a vicious force back then. Xiao Nuo's pain... The Tan family is also responsible...

Xiao Nuo...

Tan Jizhong clenched his fists and raised his head suddenly, "...What happened next?" What happened to Xiao Nuo?

"Later... when the rescue arrived, Xiao Nuo's nineteen brothers... were all dead, and our side also lost more than half of it, but I didn't find him when the scene was cleared..." He still remembered that he was dragging his clothes Huan Li went to check every corpse, and when he didn't find Xiao Nuo, he almost fell to the ground fortunately.But…

"Xiao Nuo took advantage of the chaos and escaped. No, it cannot be said that he escaped. He may... just went to take revenge."

Tan Jizhong suddenly sat up, "He went to Dongzhi!?"

Zhang Chongping paused for a long time before responding, "No one knows where Xiao Nuo went or what he did that night, but the next day, it was reported on the road that the gate of Dongzhitang...Nineteen people died the night before..."

Nineteen, exactly the number of brothers Xiao Nuo brought...

Tan Jizhong sat down on the back of his chair slumped, and suddenly remembered Xiao Nuo who lost control that afternoon, the bloodthirsty eyes and murderous intent caused by the fight...

He alone killed nineteen people that night...
