"The sun is out, can you show off those old things?"
In the courtyard of No. 14 Heping Street, the loquat trees are still lush. Director Zhao moved a bamboo chair and sat in the sun. Looking at Chen Ping, whose hands and feet were bound and his mouth was gagged, he slowly uttered these words.
Hearing this, Chen Ping's eyes flashed with suppressed anger and fear that things were gradually getting out of control. He was almost out of strength. During the few hours he was kidnapped by Officer Zhao, he had not taken any water. He even fainted and was forced to wake up. His sweaty hair stuck to his face, his clothes were torn, and now he was lying on the ground, covered in dust and in a state of embarrassment.
But not long ago, Director Zhao, a villain, was still full of flattery in front of me. In the past few years, he has hinted more than once that he wants to guard against Wenren Muxiao and prevent Wenren Muxiao from stepping on him to rise to power.
Wenren Mu Xiao, Jing Ning, Xiao Fang, etc. are all the backbone of the director's faction. Director Zhao is determined to climb up, but he is not as important as others in the director's favor. What is his plan, does Chen Ping not know?
To Chen Ping, Director Zhao used to be just a dog that could be used, but now he was trampled under the feet of such a dog.
How can I bear this?
But Chen Ping had to endure it. He suppressed the anger in his heart, breathed awkwardly through his nose, looked at Director Zhao with pleading eyes and made a "Uh-huh" sound.
"Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Showing weakness is of no use to me. It's okay to deceive others with your words. Since you think I am a villain, you should know that I am the most annoying and the least believer. Those high-sounding things." Director Zhao took the last bite of the fried dough sticks and patted his face with his oily hands.
"I will tear off the tape now and let you speak, but if you dare to say another nonsense or lie, you should know what will happen."
While the two were talking, Yu Qingyan squatted not far away and watched. After returning to Shangfang City from the gap, after treatment, his eyes have become much clearer. He can stay quiet most of the time and is not crazy. However, he still cannot stand the approach of strangers and is very wary.
Returning to No. 14 Heping Street again, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes. He seemed to still remember this place, but when he squatted there with his head in his hands, he fell into confusion again.
Over there, Director Zhao tore off the tape on Chen Ping's mouth. Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief, then started coughing, and it took him a long time to recover.
"Stop breathing, no matter how loud you sound, no one will come to save you." Director Zhao's face was full of indifference and impatience, "There are still people of yours in the bureau, right? Did you also arrange the original author?"
Chen Ping raised his head with difficulty, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, "In today's world, everyone has their own agenda. Is there any difference between me and someone else? If you want to think it's me, then it's me."
Director Zhao: "Do you think I wouldn't hit you if I changed my routine?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and kicked Chen Ping. Chen Ping huddled up in pain and couldn't speak this time. Director Zhao sneered and said, "Guess again, if I let out the news that you are here, will your people come to rescue you, or will they find a way to kill you and me together?"
Chen Ping's figure suddenly froze, even if it was just for a moment, but he could not escape Director Zhao's eyes.
"You are already useless. No one knows what you will tell me after I take you away. They have only one choice, and that is to take us both
Kill. But don't rush to hate me. Instead, you should thank me. If you had continued to stay in the Qi Phase Bureau, you might be dead by now. "Director Zhao was heart-wrenching with every word.
Chen Ping gritted his teeth, his mouth full of the taste of blood. This alienation tactic is actually not very clever, but Chen Ping has to admit that it is very useful, because human beings are selfish and good at suspicion.
It's just that Chen Ping has come up short now, so why should he cooperate with them anymore? He is not someone who will wake up at the last moment.
"Then why do you need to go to the trouble of asking someone to kill me and then catch me?" Chen Ping laughed bitterly, "What you did is just because you have some agenda for me. And this is you , it’s not just you, right, who else is behind you? Jing Ning? Su Huizhi?”
Chen Ping said two names in a row, one of which was correct. But Director Zhao didn't care, as long as he didn't admit it, he knelt down and looked at him and said, "Because I don't think everyone will betray you and want to kill you to silence you. There are always a few people with tricks in their heads. , I am willing to sacrifice my life and blood for you. You have indeed done a lot of good things in your reign for so many years, saved many people, and brainwashed one or two, which is normal."
This was actually said by Su Huizhi.
Chen Ping was silent for two seconds, then sneered, "You guys think highly of me."
Director Zhao took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff, "So, who is it?"
When Chen Ping didn't answer, Director Zhao dragged him to the shadow of the corridor with a cigarette in his mouth. He watched him commit a foul, struggled and suffered, trying hard to get into the sunshine, but Director Zhao kicked him back again.
Perhaps because the painful cry was too miserable, Yu Qingyan finally reacted. He was shaking all over, there was a hint of panic in his eyes, and his face was pale.
The next second, he stood up and staggered this way. When he saw Chen Ping's face clearly, the panic in his eyes almost turned into reality. Officer Zhao paid careful attention to his changes. Upon seeing this, he immediately asked: "What did you remember?"
Yu Qingyan shook his head desperately, his pupils shrank suddenly, and there were already signs of going crazy again. Director Zhao cursed secretly in his heart, but did not dare to do anything to him. He could only do as Su Huizhi said, show him the photos of Yan Yueming and the members who had left the meeting, and try his best to comfort him.
His condition was no longer suitable for continued use of medication.
"Look at them again, you have companions, you are not alone. Don't be afraid, Chen Ping has been captured by me. We came back here to find out the truth about that year. You are back, you are back successfully, Yu Qing Yan, your persistence for so many years, don’t fall short!”
Listening to Director Zhao's words, Yu Qingyan trembled and trembled, but slowly raised his hand and pointed at Chen Ping: "It's him, it's him..."
Yu Qingyan suddenly remembered that painful and fate-changing day.
.
For orphans like Yu Qingyan who lost their loved ones due to the Great Awakening, orange-red is the most reassuring and beautiful color in the world. He thought that the gas phase bureau search and rescue team member who often came to the orphanage to visit them was an admirable hero, but he didn't know that he was actually a devil.
"He said, he said it would be useless for me to expose him. He is a minister, I will die... everyone will die... He also said, said..." Yu Qingyan trembled and shed tears, "Welfare home There are already his people there, so it’s useless for me to go there and file a complaint.”
Back then, Yu Qingyan was just a fledgling college student. He is an orphan, without roots or connections. Anger and fear gnaw at him at the same time.
Heart, he didn't know what to do for a while.
"Then why didn't he just kill you?"
Director Zhao still didn't understand that with Chen Ping's means and status, there was always a way to make a person die quietly, so why take the risk?
As for Chen Ping's statement that he was just following the evil spirit and did not want to harm anyone, so he soft-heartedly let Yu Qingyan go, Director Zhao didn't believe it at all.
Yu Qingyan seemed to have thought of something, and felt pain again. He squatted on the ground holding his head. Director Zhao did not dare to force him, so he could only stand by and watch. From the corner of his eye, he saw that Chen Ping seemed to be about to faint, and then dragged the person out of the shadows.
When Chen Ping returned to the sun again, his whole body was wet with sweat, his eyes were blank, and he was still twitching slightly. But even so, he still didn't seem to want to let go.
Damn it.
Director Zhao secretly resented it.
At this time, Yu Qingyan suddenly looked up again, his face pale, crying and laughing, "I remembered... why I didn't die? Because of the rules that day, it was the rules that saved me, it was the rules that saved me!"
Who would have thought that this sudden change in the world and these strange rules would take away his relatives and make him an orphan. In the end, it was this rule that saved him.
The rules for that day were:
[During a certain period of time, it is prohibited to go north] and [Zodiac restrictions]
All zodiac animals without legs are prohibited from driving. Yu Qingyan didn't know Chen Ping's zodiac sign, so he could only place a bet.
When he ran desperately and rode the electric bicycle parked nearby that he had finally saved up to buy, all the way north, he didn't know where his fate would go.
Fortunately, he won the bet and Chen Ping was a legless snake. He didn't dare to take risks, because even if he killed Yu Qingyan, the erosion caused by the double adventure could not be recovered in one night. He could not explain to the Qi Xiang Bureau - what the dignified head of the search and rescue department did last night, which caused He makes stupid mistakes like this. Once the Qi Xiang Bureau goes to investigate, he will be finished.
Unfortunately, it was Yu Qingyan who committed the foul. Double foul, he fled in a hurry. Because of Chen Ping's threat, he did not dare to go directly to the Qi Bureau to report, nor did he dare to return to the orphanage, so he ran into the gap.
Because he did not receive timely treatment, he soon developed mental problems. And it is conceivable that he will continue to foul in such a state to survive in the gap.
Yu Qingyan went crazy without any surprise until he met the people who were leaving the meeting.
The meeting saved him from going completely crazy, but he could no longer remember the real reason for his madness.
When Director Zhao heard the truth about "rules to save people", he was shocked and stunned, but soon felt that it was indeed true.
There is no sudden kindness here, and the rules are indeed neutral, just a patch made by this riddled world. At this moment, Yu Qingyan suddenly grabbed his arm and said urgently: "He has other accomplices, I heard him making a phone call!"
Director Zhao's heart immediately raised, "Who?"
Yu Qingyan: "Feng Yuanhua!"
Feng Yuanhua? !
That honest face suddenly appeared in Director Zhao's mind, and his expression instantly turned ugly. Feng Yuanhua is the deputy captain of the first team of the Search and Rescue Department. He was Li Heping's right-hand man. Is he also a traitor?
Thinking of this, Director Zhao quickly called Jing Ning. But Jing Ning couldn't get through, so he quickly called Su Huizhi. At this time, he was no longer afraid of being tracked and his location revealed. Feng Yuanhua did not go to No. 56 Fulin Road, he stayed in the city!
"Beep - beep - beep -" The sound of waiting for the call to be connected made Director Zhao extremely anxious.
Pick it up quickly, pick it up quickly.
Just when the call was about to be hung up because no one answered, there was finally a sound from the other side. Su Huizhi's voice sounded light, but as long as he was still alive, Director Zhao was relieved.
"Feng Yuanhua has a problem, get him under control immediately!" he said urgently.
"It's too late." Su Hui's words made Director Zhao's heart plummet, "He followed Dong Xiaoyin to the wasteland."
Chen Ping laughed. He didn't hear the voice on the phone, but when he saw Director Zhao's face looking so ugly, he knew something was wrong. He opened his mouth and there was blood on his teeth, but it didn't stop him from laughing.
If he couldn't succeed, wouldn't it be great if the world would be destroyed?
No one can survive.
Meanwhile, the wasteland.
The temple is in sight, Dong Xiaoyin has trekked all the way here with a large reinforcement force, and Feng Yuanhua, as the deputy captain of the team, is on the same level as her, and is following her.
"Have you seen the cat god himself?" he asked suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Dong Xiaoyin asked.
"Nothing, I'm just a little curious. Haven't our search and rescue department never discovered this gap before? Not even the Li team back then. Do you think this cat god... can really defeat Xiang?" Feng Yuanhua looked at the temple. , his eyes are deep, implying sadness.
"You'll know after you try it." Dong Xiaoyin smiled. !
