Xunshan

After hanging up the phone, Sheng Sui loosened his collar, held a cigarette, wandered to the window sill, and took a deep look in the direction of the Military and Political Bureau building.

At that time, Sheng Sui was only in his early twenties, and he hadn't reached the point where everyone shouted and beat him. He was a young man who would stretch his neck and carry the family law for a child.

Back then, Ji Weizhi was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he didn't dare to listen to the sound of cannons and thunder, and would cry at night for fear of getting into bed.

Now that there is a difference between the two, the child who is always subdued can already be alone.Ji Weizhi is getting more and more energetic, but Sheng Sui, who is approaching his age, runs counter to his long-cherished wish and goes further and further away.

Thinking of this, Second Master Sheng, who is said to be cruel and ruthless, couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

Sheng Sui walked back to the desk quickly, and dialed a series of numbers tremblingly and quickly.

After waiting for five seconds, a familiar voice sounded.

Sheng Sui took a deep breath, resisted the vibrato, and called softly: "Qing'an, it's me."

——Qing An.

Those two words brought him back to seven years ago.He had just picked Ji Weizhi home at that time, facing the little pitiful who was crying into tears, he gently rubbed his head, "Can I give you a name?"

The 13-year-old blinked his big eyes and looked at him innocently.

But now Ji Weizhi won't show him that kind of cuteness, but replied stiffly: "Yo ho, I still remember."

Sheng Sui smiled wryly: "Of course I remember the words I chose."

"The memory is pretty good." Ji Weizhi was so sincere that he jumped out word by word, unable to chat at all.

Sheng Sui was very patient: "You asked me why I took..."

"You're calling just to catch up on the past?" The conversation was interrupted.

Sheng Sui felt that there was a bitterness in his heart, but he was not qualified to say more, so he could only choose the most high-sounding chat: "I heard that you work in the Military and Political Bureau, and are responsible for the inland relocation assistance of the military special line."

"Is something wrong?"

"……fine."

Sheng Sui wanted to find a topic, but he couldn't find the words: "By the way, Bai Anxian hosted a reception banquet for me at the Wanguo Hotel. I want...to treat you to a meal, are you free?"

Ji Weizhi spelled these two sentences into one sentence, and his tone became even colder: "You want to bribe me?"

Sheng Sui choked, not knowing how to respond.

Ji Weizhi snorted and said, "Let me just say, if you didn't want to ask someone to do something, you wouldn't have time to see me."

Sheng Sui guessed that this was a misunderstanding.The child has hated the business of favor trading since he was a child, but he once again exposed the most hated side of the other party.

So he hurriedly changed his words: "It's not that interesting. If you need to avoid suspicion, then..."

"Success." The opposite party replied quickly.

Sheng Sui clenched his hands tightly, "Are you sure?"

"..." Asking such a question, Ji Weizhi felt that he should hesitate for a while to be more in line with his situation, "Then you tell the time first, and I will see the arrangement."

Sheng Sui couldn't believe it, and took out his pocket watch to confirm repeatedly: "Sunday, seven o'clock in the evening?" Afraid of Ji Weizhi's repentance, he cautiously asked: "Is it convenient?"

Opposite silence.

Hearing the noise, Sheng Sui felt that the room was extremely hot.The long five seconds are really exhausting.He threw away the cigarette butt, pinched his eyebrows, anxiously counted the patterns on the cabinet, and unconsciously scratched the paper that was already full.

"It depends on the situation." Ji Wei knew that he hadn't finished speaking, but with a fluttering small ending.

Sheng Sui breathed a sigh of relief, and stood in a tense posture for a long time, only when his hands were slightly numb did he realize that the other side had already hung up.

The piece of paper he had scribbled on just now also floated down following the sound.

It is densely packed, full of the word "Qing'an".

Sunday is the busiest day of the Wanguo Hotel.

This hotel was jointly built by many countries with capital injections, and the gendarmes of many countries took turns guarding it.Once past six o'clock, fire trees and silver flowers bloom in front of the door, and the lights illuminate the night sky.

There is a large table separated by a screen on the south side of the first floor, and four rose chairs are loosely placed beside the table.From left to right, there are people who can turn clouds and rain, but there is only one guest seat that is empty.

Sheng Sui leaned against the back of the chair, tapping his fingers one after another.He had been waiting for half an hour, and he would have been annoyed by normal times, but today was an exception.

But his friend wasn't that patient.

Ambassador Bai Anxian couldn't sit still, he spoke like a gust of wind, his voice was loud and fast, but he still had a lung disease, and he kept coughing before he could say a word: "Who is so arrogant? Our time But gold is precious—cough cough! Second Master, why don't you tell us to wait so long without expressing it?"

"Then I punish myself with three glasses of wine?" Sheng Sui joked.

"Don't, I think it's An Xian who wants to drink, so fuck me." Zhou Qiaoyue waved his hands again and again.

This is a popular actor, who looks gentle and charming on stage, but speaks like a vulgar person off stage.

"If fanciers see your scolding gesture, they will be sad." Sheng Sui looked at him amused.

Zhou Qiaoyue pinched her hands pretentiously: "Don't interrupt me, I've been wondering all night, who are we waiting for if we don't serve food?"

Sheng Sui listened to this question no less than ten times tonight. After watching it for a long time, he couldn't hold back and said, "You should all know this person."

"?"

"Ji Weizhi."

"Pfft——" Bai Anxian was drinking tea, almost choked to death by the water, and was so anxious that foreign words popped out, "Why did you ask him to come? Do you think the stall is not messy enough?"

Sheng Sui didn't speak, and took a sip of his wine, "It's okay, just keep messing with me."

"Are you carrying it?" Zhou Qiaoyue spread his fan and said unceremoniously, "Has he graduated from the military academy now? Can you carry him with your useless arms and legs?"

Sheng Sui couldn't help laughing out loud, and choked back: "No matter how much you lose your arms and legs, it's better than you can carry."

"You're still laughing!" Bai Anxian knocked on the table in front of him, "Tell me, what are you thinking? If your father's side is settled, you call him? Are you afraid of repeating the same mistakes?"

Having said all this, all the people here are insiders, and they silently tacitly fell silent.

Sheng Sui slowly took out a cigarette, and was about to start a fire, when he remembered his old friend's lung disease, he put the match back, "It's a bit troublesome for the old man."

Sheng Sui and his family had a quarrel two years ago, everyone here knows it.

Zhou Qiaoyue cursed silently, "Damn", and said through gritted teeth, "This mess is not over yet."

"It's okay, I won't make the same mistakes again." Sheng Sui frowned, and said lightly, "It's agreed to spend the New Year with Weizhi this time."

The child has been afraid of celebrating the New Year alone since he was a child.

Zhou Qiaoyue hurt him as usual: "Hey, I said why you went through the formalities for returning home in a hurry, so it was because of this kid."

"Not all of them." Sheng Sui gave a high-sounding reason, "The tung oil factory should really be relocated."

Zhou Qiaoyue felt like a mirror in her heart, and pretended to believe it: "Is that so, then it's really time for your factory to move."

"Okay, let's save some face for our second master." Bai Anxian was still worried, but he was amused by this meeting again, "I think this is also a good opportunity, and all problems need to be solved slowly."

"I don't think Xiao Weizhi intends to solve it." Zhou Qiaoyue didn't take it seriously, drank a glass of wine, and slammed the glass, "What time is it? He is so punctual, if he doesn't come, he just doesn't want to come."

"Isn't that better? We don't have to worry about it anymore." Bai Anxian was naturally cheerful and smoothed things over.

Sheng Sui raised his hand to signal the waiter to serve a jug of wine, and put it aside for preparation: "Wait a little longer, there is no rush anyway."

"Okay. The two of you have more time than me. You two are not in a hurry and neither am I—cough cough!" Bai Anxian couldn't stop talking, and his cough became more and more severe. He had to pick up the cup and rinse.

Zhou Qiaoyue hurriedly stopped her: "Ancestor, that's wine. Why don't you drink tea obediently even if you know you're sick?"

Bai Anxian was dissatisfied: "You don't even want to give me wine, is there any reason!" Seeing that no one was talking to him, he poked Sheng Sui's elbow again, "Why didn't the second master speak?"

The called person twisted the cigarette, but there was no sound for a long time, and the tobacco stars fell.

"Huh?" Sheng Sui was listening intently to the movement outside, but was still a little dazed after recovering.

Bai Anxian said: "You judge me, Qiaoyue always presses me to take medicine and won't let me drink alcohol."

Sheng Sui didn't hear their conversation, and was still dazed: "Did you hear the footsteps?"

Only then did the remaining two prick up their ears, but they only felt that people were coming and going, and their voices were chaotic.

"There are footsteps everywhere outside." Zhou Qiaoyue didn't know what he was trying to tell.

Sheng Sui shook his head, he didn't mean those noises.

Boom, boom, boom...

The movement was getting closer and closer, and Sheng Sui's heart sank severely.

"He's here." Sheng Sui said with certainty.
