Before setting off, Han Lu bought a box of 15 bottles of Nescafe coffee from a 7-11 on the roadside, and opened a bottle to refresh herself.
The time now is four o'clock in the morning, and Han Lu's mental state is pretty good. After all, she has encountered some urgent work or emergencies before and needed to deal with them all night. Staying up late is not unfamiliar to her. , and although she is not young, she has always maintained good fitness habits, and her body is even better than some young people under the pressure of 996, which can also buy her more time.
The three of them then returned to Zhang Heng's school, picked up his recurve bow, Lego bricks and some other gadgets, and then arrived at the agreed upon location.
This is a small park outside the Fifth Ring Road. It is not large in area and is very close to nearby communities. It is also a place where some elderly people exercise.
Han Lu parked the car outside the park.
Fan Meinan said, "Well, she basically doesn't trust anyone, so I will go in alone and communicate with her about the general situation. If there is no problem, I will call you in."
"There won't be any danger, right?"
"...How should I put it? She doesn't like me very much. She will always make fun of me when we meet, but she doesn't know how to do it." After speaking, Fan Meinan took a deep breath, opened the car door, and got out of the car.
So only Zhang Heng and Han Lu were left in Lexus.
The latter turned on the stereo, "Is there anything you want to hear?"
"You choose," Zhang Heng said, "Any song that can cheer you up is fine."
"Is this considered the privilege of the sick?" Han Lu shrugged, took out her phone and connected it to Bluetooth. After flipping through the playlist, she took the phone back and sighed, "Forget it, I don't have it now. Not in the mood to listen."
Neither of them spoke again after that.
After some time, Han Lu suddenly asked, "What does it feel like to have a child?"
"Um?"
"Your mother and I are best friends. We were together every day when we were studying abroad. I thought I knew her very well, including her little habit of secretly picking out raisins when eating cereal... But I have never been there before. I've seen that expression on her face. When she held you, the little girl in her arms, her eyes kept shining and her whole person became gentle."
Han Lu paused, "We also talked about getting married and having children... Xiaoxia said that she had watched a documentary about giving birth and felt that giving birth was too painful. At that time, she also said that she would never have children in the future. I said In this case, no one will marry her in the future. She told me that if it doesn't work out, we can just make do with it. I will be responsible for making money and she will be responsible for spending money."
"This division of labor is quite her style." Zhang Heng said.
"In the end, she turned around and married herself off," Han Lu patted the steering wheel, "That emotional traitor... She has always been the person I was most jealous of. She lived like a retarded person every day and took all the problems as a matter of course. She pushed it to the people around her to help her solve the problem, but that woman had a very powerful natural intuition that allowed her to always make the right choice at the most critical moment, whether it was getting married or having children... It's hard not to admire her. I thought I finally defeated her in my career, but she didn't seem to care about this kind of thing at all. That retard probably thought she was as good as me in her own field, even though Her monthly salary is not enough for me to do my hair.”
"You have done a good job," Zhang Heng said, "It's just that people are always unwilling to cherish what they already have, or once you get something, its utility will decrease for you. On the contrary, Those things you can't get will make you more and more eager to start a family and start a career... These are just personal choices at different stages of life, and there is no distinction between good and bad. Moreover, you are currently in a period of emotional depression. Once this incident is over, you will resume your normal life."
"Is it my imagination? This seems to be said by someone older than me." Han Lu wanted to say something more, but at this time she saw Zhang Heng raise a finger.
So Han Lu also closed her mouth, and after a moment she said, "What's wrong?"
"It took her a while to get in." Zhang Heng lowered the glass. The park was quiet late at night, with only the rustling of leaves.
"She...didn't she want us to wait here for her to call us?" Han Lu said.
"Yes, but at times like this it might be better to improvise."
Zhang Heng got out of the car, took out the SF recurve bow and his backpack from the trunk, took out a mask from the backpack and put it on his face, "Wait for me in the car, lock the door, old rules , keep the engine on, don’t worry about us if anything happens, just drive away immediately.”
After saying this, Zhang Heng turned around and walked into the small park.
Zhang Heng was not advancing very fast, and at the same time he was alert to the surrounding situation. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, he did not pull back the bowstring.
It didn't take long to reach the center of the park, but there was nothing here.
On the other side was an artificial lake with no water, and behind it was a wall. There was basically no other place to hide. Zhang Heng stopped and became alert.
His right hand reached for the quiver, but the next moment two hands grabbed his wrist. Then the air in front of him shook, and several more figures appeared one after another. Two of them held Fan Meinan between their arms, and one covered her mouth. , and another person fixed Fan Meinan's hands behind her back.
In addition, the last figure appeared just in front of Zhang Heng, and while Zhang Heng was controlled by the sneak attack, he punched Zhang Heng in the lower abdomen.
In order to block the punch, Zhang Heng had to put down the recurve bow in his hand. He reacted quickly afterwards, raised his head back, and directly hit the nose of the sneak attacker behind him, taking advantage of the pain of the opponent to relax. Setsuna was free of control.
Zhang Heng took two steps back to the right and glanced at the four people in front of him who were eager to attack.
The guy who looked like the leader said, "Very good. If we arrest her accomplices together, the three major guilds will definitely offer a good price."
"Who are you?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"If you like, you can call us the enthusiastic crowd. During this period, the player community has almost exploded in order to find this woman and her accomplices. Unexpectedly, we were more lucky in the end."
"I'm afraid you have been misled into identifying the wrong person." Zhang Heng said.
"How is that possible? Your face may be deceiving, but this plasticine prop cannot be deceiving." The guy who looked like the leader put his hand into his pocket and took out a piece of plasticine and said with a half-smile.
