born criminal

As dusk fell, Fang Xing put one hand in his pocket and walked slowly along the gray-white avenue.

Pretentious in his heart, he didn't pay attention to his feet. When he realized it, he was already standing at the intersection leading to Chen Jian's house.He stopped and looked at the white roof in the distance. He had been here countless times, but this was the first time he stood in this position to admire it.I didn't pay attention to it usually, but after looking at it from a different angle, I felt that the house was a little strange.Maybe it's just like the relationship between him and Chen Jian. They have known each other for so long that their understanding of each other is still at the level of many years ago, but they have become the most familiar strangers.

Fang Xing gritted his teeth secretly, he was not reconciled.

In any case, he still believed that Chen Jian's color made him dizzy, and he became cautious, timid and cowardly.Everything I do now is truly sticking to my original intention.They are all children from that chaotic era. Fang Xing's desire to change the status quo is not weaker than Chen Jian.

He stared at the white villa for a long time, then turned around resolutely, and turned to another fork in the road.

When the doorbell rang, Douglas had just taken a shower after exercising, with a bath towel around his waist, his dark brown skin was smooth and shiny, and water droplets slowly slid down along the lines of his muscles.

He was humming a song, and then the intelligent recognition system reported Fang Xing's name, which made him at a loss for a moment.For a while, he thought about rushing into the room to change clothes, and for a while, he was afraid that Fang Xing would leave in a hurry, so he hesitated for a few seconds, tightened the towel tightly in a hurry, and ran to open the door.

"Fang Xing," Douglas smiled involuntarily, and said jokingly, "Isn't it too late to come to pay New Year's greetings?"

His right hand was stretched out very long, propped on the upper edge of the door, his biceps were raised high, and he secretly hoped that Fang Xing could take a second look.

However, Fang Xing's face was solemn, he was not interested in Douglas who was naked from the upper body, and asked in a low voice, "Can I go in and talk?"

"Of course." Douglas turned sideways to let him in, and followed with a slightly disappointed hand, "You sit first, and I'll change my clothes."

Douglas entered the bedroom, and Fang Xing sat in the living room meditating, deliberating over what to say next.

Fang Xing has always been ignorant of Douglas. He was promoted by Chen Jian and holds the only armed forces in the base, but his political stance is very delicate.It stands to reason that he should deal with Chen Jian, but this is not the case.Fang Xing knew that he had cultivated a lot of his own power over the years. Even though Chen Jian still had a lot of prestige in the police station, he obviously couldn't compare to Douglas, who was the top leader.

Fang Xing once talked about this issue with Chen Jian, and the two were also wary of Douglas.But Douglas has a good sense of proportion, is loyal to his duties, advances and retreats with a measure, and has never shown any greater ambitions, which confuses and comforts Fang Xing.

Nowadays, Fang Xing has no idea about rushing to win Douglas' support, and he is afraid that he will lead the wolf into the house.But right now there is no better way than to take a risk.He recalled all kinds of things about Douglas, and suddenly found that he often showed closeness to himself, and he felt a little more sure in his heart.

"Drink some water." Douglas changed his clothes in a hurry, and poured Fang Xing a drink, honey grapefruit flavor.

Fang Xing took a sip, his brows relaxed, and his impression of Douglas was better again.

"Actually, I'm here today to discuss something with you." After getting straight to the point, Fang Xing didn't say anything immediately, and rested his fingers on the armrest of the sofa, knocking repeatedly.

Douglas waited patiently. Fang Xing recovered from his contemplation after a long time, coughed, and said seriously: "You know the situation in the city now... Our plan has reached the most critical moment. But there is an unstable factor in the —You know who I'm talking about."

Douglas vaguely guessed Fang Xing's intention of visiting today, and the drum in his heart became more and more urgent, but he remained calm on the surface, and asked, "Didn't Yangzhou find anything?"

Fang Xing let out a cold snort of disdain, but said truthfully, "I'm not at ease."

"Anyway," Fang Xing pulled the topic away from Yang Zhou, his facial features distorted for a moment, "I'm very disappointed with Chen Jian's current performance. The kindness of a woman is too big to bear—" He looked directly at Douglas, seeing The tall man was so nervous that his Adam's apple rolled suddenly, he was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a comforting smile.

"I'll help you." Douglas' eagerness was still revealed, "What do you want to do?"

Fang Xing was stunned by this unexpected answer.Douglas' resolute and quick statement met the long speech he had prepared, but he was a little bit embarrassed.

The next moment, Fang Xing became suspicious, and looked at Douglas with more vigilance, "Why help me? You don't even think about it?"

Douglas opened his mouth in embarrassment, his bushy eyebrows twitched: "What do you think?"

Fang Xing raised his head and stared at him, the light hit his face like a layer of flowing honey.Douglas and him looked at each other honestly and clearly, as if a pair of confidantes were having a heart-to-heart exchange.

Fang Xing felt a subtle weirdness, thinking that he had missed some details, and quickly searched in his memory.Soon, he remembered that Douglas was scolded by Chen Jian in public because of the negligence of the guard Kyle Green not long ago, and he suddenly understood.

Douglas can be regarded as a well-known figure in the base. He was reprimanded like that, not to mention on the surface, but he must have hated Chen Jian in his heart.

Fang Xing figured it out, nodded slightly, and gave an "um" inexplicably.Douglas knew that he misunderstood what he meant, so he smiled wryly and didn't speak again.

"I've already contacted Bernard at Base No. [-]." Fang Xing immediately talked about his plan, which was clearly organized and interlocking, obviously it wasn't accomplished overnight.

Douglas sat upright, listening carefully, nodding occasionally.

"If it's really time for the fish to die, release the B75, and we will always win." Fang Xing became more and more moved as he spoke, the air accumulated in his chest became scorching hot, gushing out with the ending sound.

Douglas looked at him lovingly and intently, but his mind was still calm, and asked: "Chen Jian has never agreed to release B75, right?"

Fang Xing's complexion changed, and his tone was rather forceful: "Not all the time, but recently."

Douglas felt helpless, and did not argue with him. After pondering for a moment, he asked again: "How high is the infection success rate of B75? Will there be any casualties during the process?"

"Who knows." Fang Xing fiddled with the buttons on his coat, and casually fell on the sofa, "So what? It's time for them to suffer."

"There is one more question." Douglas quickly entered the role and helped Fang Xing make suggestions, "What if Dr. Simon doesn't cooperate? He has always only listened to Chen Jian, and it is said that he knew Chen Jian's father before."

"Hmm..." This question only made Fang Xing irritated for a second, and then he showed a beautiful and cruel smile, and said mockingly, "You put a gun against him and see if he is worthy of cooperation."

Perhaps it was because of that evil gene that Douglas found Fang Xing dangerous and charming at the moment.

"It's getting late." Fang Xing drank the water in one breath, wiped his mouth and stood up, "I'm going home first. I will tell you when I need your cooperation." He held out his hand to Douglas, "It's a pleasant cooperation. "

Douglas secretly rubbed his palms at the seam of his trousers, shook hands with Fang Xing, and said with a smile, "Look, we can talk very well, maybe we should get in touch more in the future."

Fang Xing was noncommittal, and returned a polite smile.Douglas sent him to the entrance, Fang Xing suddenly told him solemnly: "There is one more thing - I don't want to hurt Chen Jian."

This is his real idea, to temporarily sway Chen Jian's power and force him to declare independence. After the matter is completed, Chen Jian will regain his senses and realize that he is right, and the two of them can be as close as before.

"I understand." Douglas lowered his eyes, "After all, you have been in love for so many years."

In Fang Xing's plan, once the base is independent, Douglas is likely to expand his ambitions and covet the highest power, so it must be properly handled.

Of course he wouldn't tell the other party this idea, but seeing the slightly hurt expression of the man in front of him, he somehow softened his heart.

"We are also friends who have known each other for many years." Fang Xing concealed his guilt, comforted him weakly, and quickly left.

Douglas watched him disappear into the night, and was about to close the door when a slight wetness came from his face.He stretched out his hand in surprise, and there was something as light as nothing, and it fell into the palm of his hand and turned into water droplets.

Snowing.The snowflakes, which have been late for a whole winter, finally came to the world one after another with noble and lazy steps.

In the villa not far away, Chen Jian and Yang Zhou stood in front of their respective bedroom windows, watching the snow quietly.

Looking around, everything is snow-white, and under this pure and beautiful scene, everything is dormant and is about to break out of the ground.
