time never speaks

the other side.

Hearing the sound of a car starting outside the building, Ying He who was going upstairs stopped.He stood on the steps and turned around, looking at the night scene beyond the stone railing.

There are street lights on outside, and the light is projected from the outside into the inside, casting the shadow of the railing into the room.The shadow dragged extremely long, like a pair of long swords raised towards the sky, and Ying He stood in the center of these long swords.

The reason why Ying He stopped was not because of anything else, but seeing such a scene, he suddenly remembered a story about this person.

Before he came to "Changsheng", his superiors told him that there was a senior informant inside "Changsheng" who could help him enter "Changsheng".As soon as Ying He heard the news, he subconsciously thought that the senior informant in "Longevity" was a senior uncle and senior uncle who didn't know how many generations older than him.

The superior may have seen his thoughts, shook his head slightly, and said: No, he is not a policeman, he is just an ordinary person.An...an ordinary person who has been in the dark and evil forces of Huacheng for more than ten years.

Been out for more than ten years?Can this still be called an ordinary person?

Ying He wanted to complain, but he was too embarrassed to spit it out in front of his superiors, so he had to hold back for the time being.But on the way to Huacheng, he was still wondering what this ordinary person who had been in the dark and evil forces for more than ten years looked like.

After about ten hours of train ride, Ying He finally arrived in Huacheng. As soon as he got out of the station with his luggage, he saw someone holding a sign with "Ying Qiu" waiting at the exit.

Ying Qiu is the alias of Ying Helai Flower City.It can be said that if no one informs, no one knows that a person named Ying Qiu will come to the boundary of Huacheng at this very moment.

Ying He carried her luggage and came to the man.Only then did he see the other party's description clearly: This is a middle-aged man, wearing a gray shirt, with an ordinary appearance and no muscles on his body.If there is a fight, this person is definitely a cannon fodder.

But what was surprising was that there was a weird incongruity between the man's eyes and his appearance.

His eyes can be said to be calm or gentle, in a word, they are too clean.

The man was obviously also looking at Ying He who was walking in front of him. In the man's clear pupils, Ying He saw his shadow clearly.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Ying He suddenly said, "Are you Lao Chen?"

The man also asked directly, "Ying Qiu?"

With little need for reconfirmation, the two men laughed at the same time.

When Lao Chen and Ying He met for the first time, they didn't take him directly to the "Longevity" site, but took him to another place.

A breakfast shop on the side of the curb.

Although this breakfast shop is a bit smaller than the supermarket not far away, but fortunately, it is bright and clean inside.Lao Chen was very enthusiastic and helped Ying He carry his luggage in.As soon as the two sat down, the boss who was busy inside greeted him cheerfully and asked, "Old Chen, you brought me a guest? What do you want to eat? Just tell me!"

Old Chen glanced at Ying He and asked, "You are from Chu City, right?"

Ying He nodded.

"Then try the rice rolls from the boss, one with spicy and the other with two eggs."

The boss nodded and left, Lao Chen stood up, fetched two glasses of water from the water dispenser, and handed them to Ying He.

He said: "I live nearby, so I am very familiar with this area. When I heard that you were coming, I made room in my house. Don't worry, I don't smoke, and I like to clean the house. There won't be a mess and rubbish everywhere."

Ying He took a sip from his water glass, he felt that he should have a thousand words to ask at this moment, but the words came to his lips, but he didn't know what to ask.

Old Chen just smiled at this, and said, "Ask whatever you want."

Ying He looked around, as if checking whether the breakfast shop was safe or not.

Seeing this, Lao Chen said, "Don't worry, there is only one monitoring here, and it is safe here."

Hearing this, Ying He pondered for a while, and finally asked, "What are you doing there now?"

After all, he didn't ask directly, it was just because he was too vigilant as a policeman.

Old Chen obviously knew what he was asking, and he said bluntly, "I'll be their driver."

After the words were settled, Lao Chen seemed to think of something, he said: "The job arranged for you over there is also a driver, don't you know?"

driver?

Ying He pondered.

Although he has a driver's license and can drive, the driver...

Before he could say "Isn't it too slow?", the boss came over cheerfully with two rice rolls: "Here it is, your rice rolls, please take your time."

"Try it, the rice rolls from this restaurant are considered to be the best in Huacheng."

As Lao Chen spoke, he broke open the disposable chopsticks.On the way, Ying He didn't eat anything other than a box of instant noodles. When he saw food, he naturally lowered his chopsticks first to show his respect.

The boss just watched them eat with a smile, then turned around and went to work on his own affairs.

The money for this meal was paid by Lao Chen.It's not that Ying He didn't want to pay, but Lao Chen stopped him because the boss knew me very well, so he could get a [-]% discount on food anyway.Hearing this, Ying He had no choice but to give up.

After eating, Lao Chen led Ying He towards his residence.Lao Chen's residence is just behind the row of shops where he used to eat. Lao Chen first led Ying He towards the end of the street, and when he reached the end, he turned another corner and entered a row of residential areas.

Ying He has been observing the surrounding area. Judging from the outer wall, this row of residential areas has been around for at least ten years.He looked at this senior informant who was said to have been in the underworld for more than ten years, and thought to himself, could it be that this is just hiding in the city, and the more prestigious the person, the lower the profile?

In the residential area, camphor trees and plane trees are planted on both sides. Spring is the time when all things recover, and the two types of trees also sprout green buds and are dyed emerald green.When they walked in the residential area, they could still see old men and women sitting at the door of their unit picking vegetables, surrounded by a peaceful atmosphere.And the sun also fell from the gap, and the fine shadows fell on each other.

When he arrived in front of the unit in a building, Lao Chen suddenly put down Ying He's luggage that he had been carrying, rubbed his arm, and shook his head: "It can't be done, my elbow hurts badly, you can carry it yourself. "

In fact, Ying He didn't bring much, so the luggage shouldn't be too heavy.He saw that Lao Chen insisted on helping him carry his luggage before, so he couldn't say anything, but now that Lao Chen was relieved, he would naturally not be angry, so he stepped forward and carried his luggage.

With the luggage in hand, Ying He raised his head and was suddenly taken aback.

Not because of anything else, but...

If he read correctly, there was a light brown scar on the back of Lao Chen's neck.

The scar was not a big one, but a mark left by stitches. It was extremely long, as long as a rope, wrapping around the back of Lao Chen's neck.

For some reason, Ying He thought of the painted skin in Liaozhai.Painted skins also slowly tear off their own human skin from the back of their necks. When they lose their human skin, they become ghosts.

Thinking of this, Ying He wanted to scratch his head. As a staunch materialist, he was not afraid that Lao Chen would suddenly tear off the human skin from the back of his neck, and then smile ferociously at him with a bloody face.But his injury...

Is this the price paid by the senior informant?

Lao Chen didn't seem to notice Ying He's gaze, he went directly into the unit.Ying He hurriedly followed, probably because of that scar, he subconsciously paid attention to Lao Chen's every move.

I don't know if it's his illusion, but Ying He always feels that Lao Chen's skin color is not right here, and his movements there are not natural.He felt it was strange, but Lao Chen didn't know anything about it. After a while, they came to the third floor of the unit.

Lao Chen took out the key, inserted it into the keyhole, and when he turned it, he said: "'Changsheng' has contracted several buildings for the past few years as the residences of the group's internal employees, but I went in early, so I refused to allocate them to me. residence."

Ying He asked: "Then if I go in, will I have a place to live?"

"Theoretically, it is like this." Old Chen pushed open the door and walked in: "You can also choose to refuse and rent a house by yourself, and 'Changsheng' will reimburse you [-]% to [-]% of the rent."

"Sounds really good." Having said that, Ying He didn't smile at all, he followed Lao Chen into Lao Chen's residence.

Seeing Lao Chen's residence for the first time, Ying He had no choice but to praise: It's so clean!

This is a house with two bedrooms and one living room. The layout inside is just like what Old Chen said, there is nothing messy about it.There is no garbage that can be seen everywhere, the furniture is neatly arranged, and everything is clean and bright, without even dust.

Ying He moved the tip of his nose subconsciously, and he seemed to smell a faint fragrance of flowers.

Old Chen turned around and closed the security door.There are only two people and a suitcase left in the living room.

Old Chen pointed to a door on the left: "That's where you live. You need to repair it in the next two days. I'll contact you there to confirm your situation before you prepare to enter the 'Eternal Life'."

After being silent for a while, Ying He asked, "I can only start as a driver?"

Old Chen looked at Ying He's appearance and said, "No, but it's the fastest way from my way."

Ying He raised his eyes, looked at Lao Chen, and asked, "What if I don't want to be a driver?"

Old Chen was not angry, and asked, "If you don't want to be a driver, where do you want to start?"

Ying He pondered for a while, and then said: "I heard that the 'Changsheng' Group has a lot of leaders, and I plan to start from this aspect."

Old Chen looked at him for a moment, then said, "Do you know what Tangkou means?"

Ying He laughed: "Of course I know, I read all the information before I came."

Lao Chen was silent for a while, and asked, "How sure are you?"

Ying He said: "When looking at the information, it is [-]% to [-]%. If you help, it can be at least [-]% to [-]%."

50.00% chance.

Ying He thought that a person like Lao Chen, who had been in the game for decades, would be careful with every step he took, in order to be safe.With this [-]% chance, I don't know if he can afford to gamble.

But he didn't want to, Lao Chen just looked at him for a while, then nodded, and said: "I can help you, and even contact Huacheng's superiors to transfer the information of the 'Changsheng' personnel for you, as long as you can afford it. But you need to know , if you fail, I cannot save you."

He actually agreed.

Ying He also nodded, and he said: "I have never been afraid of death since I came here. I have considered this step before I came. Now that you have provided me with information, I will naturally consider what is feasible first. degree, and then consider how to proceed.”

Old Chen hummed, and he asked, "Is there any problem? Let me tell you, and I will solve it right away."

Ying He looked at Lao Chen for a while, and for some reason, suddenly flashed the scar on the back of Lao Chen's neck.

He subconsciously said, "The back of your neck...was done by the 'Changsheng' people?"

Old Chen didn't seem to expect him to mention this, and was taken aback for a moment.

Seeing his reaction, Ying He realized that he was not the other party's, and he could even say that the other party was his superior rather than his peers. It was probably because they chatted calmly for too long, and the other party looked very kind.Ying Hecai subconsciously relaxed his vigilance. Seeing the other party's behavior like this, Ying Hecai realized that something was wrong. He quickly added: "I, I saw it by accident. If this is your secret, you don't have to say it. Just as I said it casually."

It's all over, but Lao Chen is still not angry. He just raised his hand, touched the scar on the back of his neck, and shook his head lightly: "No, this is the scar from skin grafting."

skin grafting.

Lao Chen's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about family affairs.
