Cheng Ji blinked and looked up at the ceiling.
… He was about to cry, tears almost overflowed from the corners of his eyes, but he was forced back.
He felt sad and moved, and suddenly felt that it didn't matter even if Qi Beisong could never remember the past. They still had a future, and they could still rely on each other and stick together, no matter how far apart they were.
Both of them were silent for a long time, Cheng Ji was trying to calm down his emotions, and Qi Beisong was trying to calm down his physiological reaction.
Cheng Ji spoke first, with a nasal tone: "You are quite good at fighting."
"Does this count as recognition from the former mercenaries?" Qi Beisong asked.
"Yeah." Cheng Ji said, "But it's still not as good as mine."
Qi Beisong raised his eyes when he heard that. He had forgotten the only person in the world who had ever made him submit. He had long since returned to his tough temper, even when facing the person in front of him.
Having said that, if he hadn't been so determined and stubborn, he might still be paralyzed in bed today.
"Come up." Cheng Ji also began to toughen up, loosening his neck, wrists and ankles, "Let me show you the true strength of the former mercenary."
He learned a few new moves during training in another place, and he took the opportunity to try out his sword skills with Qi Beisong.
"Wait a moment." Qi Beisong waved his hand.
“???” Cheng Ji was puzzled.
“…” Qi Beisong was waiting for the last bit of reaction to avoid bumping into others and making himself look like a gangster.
Finally, Qi Beisong stood up and said okay.
Cheng Ji had just assumed a fighting stance when the cell phone on the dining table in the living room rang. He ran to check the caller ID and turned his back to answer it.
The other side said simply: "Return to the team immediately, you will have 20 minutes!"
"Brother," Cheng Ji reminded quietly, "I'm on vacation today."
"I know you're on vacation," the other side said, "that's nothing!"
"What's up?"
"Catch the fugitive!"
"There are brothers on duty to catch the fugitives."
"We really can't do without you today," the voice on the other end said, "because we have a disguised reconnaissance mission and we need a handsome guy. No strong men, no handsome men. We need a fair, tender, curvy, and feminine guy like you!"
"..." Cheng Ji said, "Brother, if you say that to me again, I won't go to blind dates anymore!"
"Stop making a fuss and get back here quickly! Remember to bring Lu Xiaofei with you on the way, and then wait for the bus at a certain intersection. You two will have eighteen minutes to return to the team!" After issuing the order, the other end hung up the phone.
Cheng Ji looked into the room in embarrassment. Qi Beisong was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for him.
It’s so unlucky that they arrested him not earlier or later, but just when he was dating Lao Qi!
After much difficulty in preparing a table of food, Lao Qi only drank a bowl of soup and he himself didn't even drink the soup. This not only affects the family harmony of the team members, but also affects the physical health of young people!
Cheng Ji said to Qi Beisong: "I have something to do and I need to go out for a while. It may take a long time."
"You want to go out?" Qi Beisong couldn't believe it. How could someone run away in the middle of a dinner party
Cheng Ji was full of apologies, but he didn't have time to say anything more. He grabbed his coat and left: "If you're hungry, eat first. You don't have to clean up after you're done. Please help me close the door when you leave!"
"That's so inappropriate!" Qi Beisong shouted.
"Anyway, you eat first!" Cheng Ji had already run around the corner of the stairs and left Qi Beisong at home.
Qi Beisong was stunned for a moment, then locked the door without saying anything and ran downstairs after him: "When will you be back?"
Cheng Ji had already stepped onto his electric scooter and turned around to ask in surprise, "You're not going to eat?"
Qi Beisong said, "How can you be so confident in leaving a stranger like me alone at home?"
Cheng Ji was not only relieved, but also threw the house key to him: "Go eat something, don't be hungry!"
Qi Beisong held the key in his hand, looking confused.
Cheng Ji smiled and blinked: "Don't move my bed!" Then he started away.
Qi Beisong stood there stupidly for a moment, muttering, "I've never seen anyone like you before. You're different from others in every way..."
Without hesitation, he started chasing after him!
Young Master Qi is unwilling to stay alone at Cheng Ji's house, especially since there are signs of another person living in his house—most likely his father—if he runs into the other person's father under such circumstances, it would be fatal!
He chased very fast, but Cheng Ji's electric bike was even faster. When he ran out of the community gate, Cheng Ji had disappeared.
A few old men playing chess and old ladies dancing gathered at the entrance of the community. Qi Beisong went forward to ask, and someone pointed out that Cheng Ji went east.
Qi Beisong quickly stopped a taxi and chased eastward. Just after passing two traffic lights, he saw Cheng Ji stopped by the roadside and waiting.
He was about to pay and get off when he saw a man running out of the alley.
She was a girl in her early twenties, with pretty features and a petite figure. She came out in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to pull up her heels, but the smile on her face showed that she was very familiar with Cheng Ji.
The girl skillfully took the helmet thrown by Chengji and put it on her head, then sat on the electric bike. I could vaguely hear her shouting, "Let's go!"
At that moment, Qi Beisong felt like someone had hit him hard with a punch from behind, leaving a big gap. His whole head was buzzing, and he was in excruciating pain. His mouth tasted bitter, and his blood circulation was blocked. A cold liquid seeped out from the hole on the top of his head, soaking his hair and slowly flowing down through the back of his neck, chilling his entire body.
Then came humiliation, resentment, disappointment, jealousy... many emotions twisted his rationality like needles, knives and scissors, making him almost explode on the spot, with white light all before his eyes!
Cheng Ji excitedly picked him up from get off work, bought groceries and cooked for him himself, but ended up making a date with another girl
Was the call just now made by this girl? What is their relationship
Why did he have to come see her in the middle of a meal? Was it because he liked her
Qi Beisong finally realized that he didn't have a headache, but a pain in his chest.
He was not sure whether he had met Cheng Ji in the past, but what was certain was that he would not allow Cheng Ji to fall in love with someone else, because he would be tortured to death!
His expression was so ugly that even the taxi driver felt it was dangerous and shouted, "Hey, buddy!"
Qi Beisong slammed the car door shut and said in a deep voice, "Follow that electric bike."
The taxi driver looked at him with fear, then followed his gaze and suddenly realized: "Dude, are you here to catch someone committing adultery?!"
Qi Beisong didn't say anything, but glanced sideways.
The driver said excitedly, "I am a professional at catching adulterers! I catch adulterers every other night. Sometimes it's the husband catching the wife, sometimes it's the wife catching the husband. This is the first time I've seen an adulterer caught before the sun goes down. Are you catching the wife or the husband?"
Qi Beisong still didn't speak.
"Wait a minute, I'll change the background music!" the driver said, "Catching an adulterer needs a thrilling background music!"
"Change what?"
"Modern Peking Opera Fighting the Tiger on the Mountain!"
As they were talking, Cheng Ji and the girl had already ridden on the road. Hongcheng does not allow adults to ride electric bikes, but it is different for the two policemen on duty.
The girl is Lu Xiaofei, Cheng Ji's colleague.
There is no female special police squadron in Hongcheng. Lu Xiaofei is one of the few women in the special police detachment, but she is not a front-line police officer, but an armory keeper.
Her identity is not special, but her brain is special. She has a photographic memory and an amazing memory, which is ten times better than Shen Zimo's.
She remembers everything in the warehouse, from labels to quantity to location to performance, and never makes mistakes. When you check in and out of the warehouse, you don't even have to count as long as she's on duty. What's even more amazing is that she can recognize people. Even if you meet her on the street and only glance at her briefly, she will still remember you years later.
This is actually a very rare medical phenomenon called hyperthymesia, which is characterized by indiscriminate and automatic memory, down to every detail.
Fortunately, this girl is open-minded by nature, and her computer-like precise memory has not affected her life much. It just makes her look a little weird. Some people with hyperthymesia are not far from being mentally ill.
Lu Xiaofei asked Cheng Ji from behind: "What's going on this time?"
"I don't know!" Cheng Ji said loudly, "Captain Xu asked us to wait for the bus at a certain intersection, and he will tell us when we get on the bus!"
Lu Xiaofei said: "I guess they want me to identify someone again!"
"Who told you to have a good memory!" Cheng Ji shouted.
Lu Xiaofei also shouted: "It's annoying to have a good memory! I have 8,125 faces of wanted fugitives online in my head. I can remember every face clearly. The name, age, place of origin, height, and ID number can all be matched. Every night I dream of organizing the team! Who moves a little to the left, who steps back a step. They are all crooked and ugly. It's so fucking disgusting!"
"Girl, don't keep saying 'fuck' and 'fuck' all the time!" said Cheng Ji.
"Damn it!" Lu Xiaofei complained, "I'm just a warehouse manager, why do I always have to do the work of a criminal policeman? I went to identify someone today, and then I came back with another face in my mind, and I have to arrange the queue all over again! If I don't arrange the queue well, I won't be able to sleep all night!"
Cheng Ji laughed and asked, "Are you sorting them by place of origin or by height?"
"Arrange them by age!" Lu Xiaofei said, "The old, middle-aged and young generations are definitely a perfect match! But you're right, it might be more pleasing to arrange them by height!"
Cheng Ji said: "Don't complain, I envy you so much!"
Lu Xiaofei will never be forgotten once he has met you, but some people keep saying that they love you, care about you and call you their sweetheart, but they can't even remember your face.
"You won't ask me to conduct reconnaissance in disguise again, will you?" Lu Xiaofei felt a little scared.
"It's okay!" Cheng Ji said, "I'm here!"
The two were in a hurry and didn't notice that a taxi was following them.
In the taxi, the driver was still gossiping with Qi Beisong: "Hey handsome guy, are you arresting the wife or the husband?"
"Wife."
"Oh my, your wife is very brave, young people are so brave!"
Qi Beisong took out a wad of cash and waved it in front of the driver: "If you say one more word, I'll take one. It depends on how many more words you plan to say."
The driver immediately shut up, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and looked like he was ready to run a cross-country rally.
They found that the driver in front of them had stopped his car and was standing on the side of the road waiting with the girl, so they pulled over as well.
A few minutes later, a black Mercedes-Benz Sprinter picked them up, and the words "SWAT" and "police" were clearly painted on the car.
"..." the driver asked, "Handsome guy, your wife's cheating partner is a special police officer?"
Qi Beisong was also surprised.
"Are you still going to chase her?"
"Chase!"
"Well... what should we do if they find out?"
"You're a taxi. There are tens of thousands of cars on Hongcheng Street that look exactly like you. How do they know you're following them?"
"That's not just any policeman, it's a special policeman, the kind with guns!" The driver shook his head. "If I were you, I would basically give up on this wife!"
Qi Beisong took out another stack of cash, which was thicker than the previous stack.
"I'll chase them!" the driver said firmly, "Not to mention the SWAT, I'll chase the Rockets too!"
The SWAT car was driving very fast, and the taxi was not slow either. On the provincial road out of the city, another Sprinter car painted with SWAT livery joined in, and the two cars were one in front and one behind, as if they were ready to go on a mission.
The driver sighed, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, handsome guy, your wife is really unfaithful!"
Qi Beisong whispered: "What else is Geng Chunhong hiding from me?"
"Your wife's name is Geng Chunhong?" the driver said, "Hearing this name, she's likely to cheat!"
Qi Beisong's face was as hard as iron.
It was dusk and the sky was about to get dark, but the provincial road was still busy with traffic. The two police cars followed each other closely without sirens blaring.
The taxi driver also followed, and he was extremely excited, saying that this experience of catching an adulterer was enough for him to brag about for three years!
Qi Beisong's expression became more and more relaxed. What kind of situation had he not seen? He had even chased a plane, but he didn't remember it.
The driver was frightened when he saw the smile on his face. He said, "Handsome man, you are not going crazy because of anger, are you? You can find another wife, but you must protect your brain!"
Qi Beisong looked at the idiot, threw both stacks of money into his arms, and said with a smile: "For you!"
He was so happy! He wanted to sing a song!
The situation was already very clear. Cheng Ji hurried out in the middle of his meal. He was not going to date the girl, but had a mission. He and the girl were definitely not in a romantic relationship!
The driver took the money and thought it was more than his two-month salary. His voice trembled, "Really...really give it to me? Handsome guy, if you catch someone cheating, then just catch them cheating. Why are you carrying so much cash?"
"Catch your uncle!" Qi Beisong cursed with a smile, "Drive faster, I'll give you another 2,000 when we get to our destination!"
"..." the driver said, "Drive! I'll chase after not only the Rockets, but also the International Space Station!!"
Provincial roads usually don't pass through urban areas, but they connect prosperous towns one after another. The SWAT team quickly passed the first two, and when it reached the third, the team turned into the center of the town and quietly stopped in the yard of a certain unit. Then the lights went out, the doors opened, and some people who had been waiting nearby surrounded them.
The taxi driver didn't have the courage to follow any further, so he stopped far away, and Qi Beisong approached on foot.
The dim sky and the messy streets provided him with cover. He stood behind a tree and saw Cheng Ji jump out of the car.
Cheng Ji changed into a standard three-piece waiter suit, a white shirt, a black vest, black trousers, with his collar open, revealing his slender neck. Following closely behind him was the girl, also dressed as a waiter.
Someone was explaining something to them, and it took a long time to explain it in detail. Cheng Ji kept nodding while buttoning his clothes and tying his tie.
After the bow tie was tied, the man who gave instructions looked him around and felt that he looked well behaved enough, so he expressed his satisfaction.
Finally, they checked the time, and the people dispersed. Cheng Ji and the girl left the yard and walked quickly to the left. The other two followed, five or six meters away from them.
"Disguise reconnaissance?" Qi Beisong asked himself in a low voice.
The author has something to say: There is more
