With a sullen face, Bai Jinbo walked slowly in the corridor of the police station building. Two policemen walked up to him and greeted him respectfully, but he ignored them and passed them by with a cold face.
The two policemen were a little strange, feeling that their director seemed to have changed overnight.
He didn't pay attention to what his subordinates thought of him, his whole body was numb, and he was still immersed in the guilt towards Jiang Yuelou last night and the fear of Zhan Junbai.
He walked to the desk, looked at his desk card, and suddenly burst into anger, sweeping all the folders on the desk to the ground. Just as he was about to pick up his teacup and smash it on the ground, there was a knock on the door suddenly, and the secretary's voice came through the door.
"Director, there is a Miss Chu who claims to be a reporter from "Jingcheng Daily" and wants to interview you. She is currently downstairs in the reception room. Look..."
Bai Jinbo gently put down the teacup in his hand, thought for a moment, and replied, "Let her come up."
After a while, Chu Ran appeared in front of him and introduced herself in a businesslike manner.
"Director Bai, hello, I am Chu Ran, a reporter from Jingcheng Daily. I have interviewed Section Chief Jiang Yuelou Jiang before. I take the liberty of coming here today to ask you a few questions."
Bai Jinbo stood up casually, guided Chu Ran to the sofa, and asked, "What do you want to interview? I'm busy."
"I want to talk to you about Jiang Yuelou."
As soon as Chu Ran finished speaking, Bai Jinbo stopped and turned to stare at her. "Yuelou has left the police station, there is nothing to talk about."
"The others are not there, but the heart is." Chu Ran looked at Bai Jinbo calmly, with the calmness of knowing everything in his eyes.
Seeing that Bai Jinbo had already sat down on the sofa, she sat down too, and continued, "I saw Jiang Yuelou, and I know your plan."
Bai Jinbo's eyes froze, judging the truth of her words, still pretending to be confused, "Plan? What plan? Ms. Chu misunderstood. I don't quite understand what you said."
"Don't worry, I know what to say and what not to say. I'm here today to convey an important piece of information to you for Yuelou. He has confirmed the identity of the third master, Zhan Junbai, the Financial Secretary."
The three words Zhan Junbai made Bai Jinbo feel complicated, with mixed feelings, but there was no surprise.
Chu Ran sensed something was wrong, "You are not surprised at all?"
Bai Jinbo smiled: "Why should I believe your empty teeth without evidence? Also, if Yuelou told you this news, why didn't he contact me in person? Miss Chu, I never heard of it. He mentioned you." Seeing that Chu Ran was rendered speechless by his words, he continued: "If it was Chen Yuzhi who came, I might still consider the authenticity of this information. But as for you, Chu Ran Miss, I'm sorry, I'm going to be busy, please go back."
After Bai Jinbo finished speaking, he stood up and was about to go back to his desk. Chu Ran followed closely behind and quickly blocked his way.
"The Miemen case is fake, and going to a mental hospital is also fake, including killing Chen Yuzhi. All of this is a plan by you and Jiang Yuelou, to convince Zhan Junbai that Jiang Yuelou is indeed Break away from the police station, break with you, and become a force that can be fought for. These should be enough."
Bai Jinbo looked at the stubborn Chu Ran, sighed, and finally nodded in admission. "Where is the other person?"
"I don't know. I left a clue through the newspaper and met him in a hurry. He asked me to tell you to beware of Zhan Junbai."
Bai Jinbo smiled wryly: "Beware? It's easy to say, but hard to do. Is there any other news about him?"
Chu Ran thought about it carefully, then shook her head and said, "Not yet, he said he would contact you again."
Speaking of this, Chu Ran's mission is considered complete, and it is not good to stay for a long time, and bid farewell to Bai Jinbo.
"Director Bai, it's time for me to report back to the agency. I wish your plan an early success."
Bai Jinbo nodded absently, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he asked, "You just said that killing Chen Yuzhi was a lie, so how is he doing now? Is there any risk of exposure?" In order not to look too eager, he asked Slowly added: "Yuelou's life and death are all tied to him."
Chu Ran didn't doubt that he was there, and like Jiang Yuelou, he had complete trust in him, and told them all about their arrangements. "Dr. Chen is temporarily staying in my rented apartment, which is safe."
Bai Jinbo nodded, watching Chu Ran leave. He sat at the desk in silence for a moment, and finally sighed: "Yuelou, don't blame me, I can't help it."
As he spoke, he picked up the phone, dialed Zhan Junbai, and revealed to him the news of Chu Ran's visit and that Chen Yuzhi was still alive.
Zhan Junbai hung up the phone and muttered to himself: "Chu Ran knows, it's a little troublesome!"
He hasn't given up on Chu Ran yet, and it seems impossible to win the beauty's heart now.
He thought for a while, took out a letter from the drawer, and told Qiu Ming to find someone he didn't know and send it to Chu Ran's apartment.
The letter was not a love letter to Chu Ran, but a gift to Chen Yuzhi. He believed that Chen Yuzhi would not ignore this letter after seeing it.
Thinking of this, Zhan Junbai couldn't help laughing, the good show was about to be staged again.
When he was happy, he couldn't help but went to the basement where Yutangchun was held. Naturally, the two of them had no nice words, and Yutangchun was so angry that he coughed up blood on the spot.
Zhan Junbai called a doctor to treat him. The doctor suggested that the coffin and cemetery be prepared in advance, and it will not last long.
Feeling a little lost in his heart, he said to Qiu Ming: "Go and make arrangements, the coffin should use good golden nanmu."
At this time, Chen Yuzhi was alone in Chu Ran's apartment, with a map of Jingcheng spread out in front of the dining table, analyzing while drawing, and circled several key locations from time to time. He is still injured and can't help other things, so he can only think about which positions are most likely to be taken in the event of an accident, which can be regarded as a small favor for Jiang Yuelou.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound at the door. He stopped writing, listened carefully to the movement, stood up vigilantly, and walked lightly to the door.
A letter was being pushed through a crack in the door on the floor.
He couldn't open the door to check, so as not to reveal his identity, so he picked up the letter and waited for Chu Ran to come back before making plans.
The envelope of this letter was written with the words "Chu Ran's Personal Invitation". He didn't think much about it, so he put it on the table and continued to study the map.
This busy work lasted for more than an hour, and the water glass on the dining table was empty. When he got up to pour water, he accidentally brushed the letter on the ground.
He hurriedly picked it up, and accidentally saw a small pattern on the lower right corner of the back of the envelope, and froze in place for a moment.
It was an inconspicuous little flower pattern, and the painting method was immature and rusty, like a child's painting. But if you turn the envelope around and look carefully, the shape of the flower is clearly like a "ke" character.
Chen Yuzhi stared at the pattern in disbelief, and the picture of being with Keying in the past appeared in his mind.
At that time, Keying was just learning to draw, so she would lie down at the table and draw when she had nothing to do, and would show it to him from time to time. Once, she drew a small flower and said to him triumphantly: "Brother, look, does this flower bone look like the word Keying?"
He looked at it carefully at the time and thought it was indeed like it, so he nodded with a smile.
Now, the little flower resembling the word "ke" reappeared, and his hands couldn't help shaking.
He couldn't wait for Chu Ran to come back, he couldn't wait to open the envelope, and wanted to know what was going on.
There is no long speech on the letter paper, just one line of words, which can be understood at a glance.
If you want to see Keying, come alone, No. 328, Qixi Road.
Chen Yuzhi stared at the line, and murmured, "Ke Ying...Ke Ying is still alive?" He was stunned for a moment, then turned and went out without hesitation.
Arriving at the agreed place, Chen Yuzhi saw Zhan Junbai's back at a glance, with a hesitant and struggling look on his face, and he didn't come forward for a long time.
Zhan Junbai seemed to sense someone behind him, and turned around with a slight smile, still showing the demeanor of a gentleman.
"Doctor Chen, since you're here, why don't you say a word?"
"Is it you who wrote the letter?" Seeing that he could not turn back, Chen Yuzhi simply strode forward, feeling agitated. Seeing Zhan Junbai smiling and nodding, he stepped forward to him in a big step, grabbed his collar, and asked, "Where is Keying? Is she still alive?"
Zhan Jun Baiyun brushed his hand away lightly: "Doctor Chen, don't get too excited, recovering from a serious illness is not good for your health."
"Where is she?" Chen Yuzhi's eyes were bloodshot.
Zhan Junbai straightened his rumpled collar, put away his smile, "I want to see your sister, yes. Doctor Chen, let's make a deal."
"I'm not a businessman, I don't know how to make deals, I just want to be profitable."
Zhan Junbai sneered: "It's better not to be too greedy. If you want to get it, you have to give something."
"You are the third master's secret, I won't tell it. You return Keying to me, and I will take her out of Jingcheng."
"This doesn't seem to be enough, the chips are a little lighter."
Chen Yuzhi frowned: "Then what do you want?"
Zhan Junbai glanced at the position where Chen Yuzhi was shot in the heart, "When Jiang Yuelou shot, it hurt, right? The feeling of being hurt by the person you trust the most must be worse than death. This kind of pain, I want Let Jiang Yuelou experience it for himself. I want others to die, and my heart will die too."
This vicious language hit Chen Yuzhi's heart like a heavy hammer.
"I want you to ask him to meet. Then, kill him."
"I can't do it." Chen Yuzhi shook his head firmly.
"No, you can do it, for... Keying."
"I will not betray him." Chen Yuzhi struggled for a moment, made a painful decision, turned around and left.
Zhan Junbai looked at his back, and raised his voice: "But you gave up your sister, the only relative in the world."
At this moment, a little girl's voice came from the other side of the street, calling anxiously for her brother.
Chen Yuzhi recognized Keying's voice, turned around in a hurry to search, and finally saw the sister he was thinking about in the back seat of a slowly approaching car.
Chen Keying was controlled by Qiu Ming, leaning on the car window pitifully, looking at Chen Yuzhi with tearful eyes.
This was the best stimulus. Chen Yuzhi couldn't control his emotions any longer, and insisted on running towards Chen Keying while supporting his unhealed body.
But just as the distance between the siblings was getting closer and their hands were about to be held together, the car suddenly started and drove away quickly.
Chen Yuzhi chased after him two steps, shouting his sister's name heartbreakingly. It's a pity that everything was in vain, and this blow of loss and recovery shook his decision.
Zhan Junbai walked over with a smile, looked at Chen Yuzhi, who was almost emotionally broken, and continued to bewitch: "For Jiang Yuelou, are you sure you want to give up her? I feel distressed when I hear my brother's cry."
For a while, Chen Yuzhi was in a dilemma, and his heart was like a battle between heaven and man.
"Don't try to lie to me with the trick of feigning death. I will decide the time and place of the appointment. All you have to do is to shoot the first shot to make his life worse than death. Even if your marksmanship is not good, you can't It doesn't matter if you kill him, I will bring a lot of people to wait, and just make up one shot for each of them."
Chen Yuzhi finally raised his head, stared at Zhan Junbai angrily, and cursed, "Aren't you afraid of going to hell for doing so many evil things?"
Zhan Junbai shrugged indifferently: "I only care about what happened before I was alive, and I don't care about the name after death. Whether it goes to hell or goes to heaven, it's all fiction. People are real only when they are alive."
Chen Yuzhi stared at him, full of resentment, but helpless.
Zhan Junbai raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "I'll give you one last minute to think about it. It's the countdown." Then he enjoyed Chen Yuzhi's pain and suffering in his spare time.
"When did you find her?"
Zhan Junbai answered every question: "Before the car exploded and fake Keying died."
Chen Yuzhi was surprised, and then became angry: "You started designing all this since then?"
Zhan Junbai corrected the mistakes in his words: "To be precise, it was the design of Jiangyuelou. You were not in my line of sight at the beginning. The reason why I included you is because I discovered that the relationship between you and Jiangyuelou Special relationship. You are his only friend who is willing to make friends, and the only person who knows all his secrets. Only you can cure his illness. A healthy Jiangyuelou with someone fighting side by side is the last thing I want to see yes, so... ”
"So you deliberately made someone pretend to be Keying, fooled Jiang Yuelou's eyes, and arranged for a killer to divert the tiger away from the mountain, set the car ablaze, let her die in front of my eyes, and separate us." Chen Yuzhi added for him.
Zhan Junbai showed an appreciative smile on his face, and generously admitted: "That's right. It's a pity, I didn't expect you to be so angry that you lost your mind, and instead of blaming Jiang Yuelou for her death, you became a brother."
"You can count everything, but you can't count people's hearts."
Zhan Junbai laughed at Chen Yuzhi's words, and raised his wrist to look at the time: "There are five seconds left. By the way, when I found Keying, she was in a brothel in Malacca. She is very unstable now, and no one recognizes her. ,except you."
Following Zhan Junbai's description, Chen Yuzhi felt extremely distressed, and the choice in his heart also had a painful bias.
"It's time. Dr. Chen, where's your answer?"
Chen Yuzhi was ruthless, clenched his fists with his hands hanging by his sides, and tried his best to control his emotions. The voice almost came out from between his teeth: "Time, place. And, the gun."
"Don't worry, I will prepare everything." Zhan Junbai smiled triumphantly.
Trapped in the hotel, Jiang Yuelou didn't know that her fate had been planned. She was still thinking about whether Chu Ran had contacted Director Bai and how to find out the location of the arsenal.
A waiter came in to deliver the newspaper. He flipped through it casually, and found that there was similar information in the advertisement column as last time, but the name of the agreed place was changed.
He immediately became nervous and went to the door. Seeing that the waiter who delivered the newspaper hadn't gone far, he raised his voice and called him back.
"You sent the wrong one. It's not the newspaper I ordered."
The waiter looked apologetic: "Excuse me, sir."
He was about to go to the coffee table to get the newspaper, when Jiang Yuelou hit him with a hand knife on the neck, and he passed out defenselessly.
Jiang Yuelou quickly changed into his clothes, sneaked out of the hotel under Cheng Yong's nose, and rushed to the place agreed by the code without stopping.
It was a pavilion in the middle of a lake on the outskirts of the city. It was usually very quiet, and there were hardly any people around.
Chen Yuzhi was already waiting there, in a daze with heavy thoughts, he wanted to see Jiang Yuelou quickly, but he didn't want him to come, his heart was full of contradictions.
After a while, footsteps came from behind. He turned his head immediately and saw Jiang Yuelou walking over cautiously.
"Are you okay?" They both spoke almost at the same time when they saw each other, both concerned about each other's situation.
After these words, the two became quiet again and looked at each other, one full of guilt and the other suffering.
After a while, Jiang Yuelou spoke first: "I'm sorry."
"Because of that shot?"
Jiang Yuelou nodded silently.
Chen Yuzhi smiled, and there was no blame in the smile, only sadness.
On a high-rise building not far away, Zhan Junbai held a telescope and was watching the interaction between Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi, with a malicious smile on his lips.
After being away for a long time, Jiang Yuelou was not at ease, looked around vigilantly, and asked Chen Yuzhi: "Zhan Junbai's people are watching closely, I can't stay too long. What do you want me to do?"
Chen Yuzhi's eyes were complicated, and he slowly inserted his right hand into his pocket, feeling the coldness of the pistol, just like his mood at the moment. "Chu Ran has already contacted Director Bai and told him about the third master." He spoke with difficulty, trembling slightly.
Jiang Yuelou looked at him in surprise: "Just this news?"
Chen Yuzhi nodded, avoiding his gaze.
Based on Jiang Yuelou's understanding of Chen Yuzhi, he would never take the risk of asking him to meet just to say something. He looked at his expression carefully, his whole body seemed to be full of resistance, guilty conscience and fear.
"You have something to hide from me."
"No." Chen Yuzhi replied calmly, trying to restrain the panic in his heart.
Seeing him running away, Jiang Yuelou couldn't help but take a step closer to him, putting his hands on his shoulders, "Yu Zhi, is there anything we can't say between you and me? No matter what happens, we are brothers."
Chen Yuzhi raised his head when he heard the words, forced a smile, and said to him softly: "Hating the emperor is not like Jiang Louyue, only staying together without parting. Yuelou, we still have to separate after all." He has already prepared After making a decision, he pulled his hand out of his pocket, but there was nothing in his hand.
Jiang Yuelou froze for a moment, took another step closer, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
Chen Yuzhi looked at the buildings in the distance: "Zhan Junbai knows everything."
Jiang Yuelou was taken aback and lost his mind for a moment, but quickly realized: "Is he right around?"
"He captured Keying."
Jiang Yuelou frowned, the news was too unexpected for him, and he stared at Chen Yuzhi in a daze. And Chen Yuzhi finally stopped dodging, and looked back calmly.
"Are you here to kill me?" Jiang Yuelou understood instantly.
"One of us must die today."
Speaking of life and death, Jiang Yuelou smiled instead: "Don't worry, let me think about it."
Chen Yuzhi also laughed along with him: "I've made up my mind. Yuelou, Keying is entrusted to you." After he finished speaking, he suddenly took out a gun from his pocket, but was grabbed by Jiang Yuelou who was quick-eyed and quick-handed. , the two competed, and their figures twisted violently.
Zhan Junbai, who was on a high place, put down the binoculars, turned his eyes to the scope of the sniper rifle, and was ready to shoot.
Suddenly a gunshot froze the movements of the two men. After a while, Jiang Yuelou took the lead to take two steps back and looked down at his abdomen. Bright red blood was slowly seeping out of his clothes.
Chen Yuzhi's eyes were stained red by this scene, and he could no longer hold the pistol steadily, letting it fall from his hand. He rushed forward to support Jiang Yuelou, and put his hand on his wound, trying to stop more blood from gushing out.
"I'll help you stop the bleeding." He didn't realize that tears were dripping from his eyes, and he wanted to heal Jiang Yuelou's gunshot wound.
However, as soon as his words fell, another gunshot sounded. Jiang Yuelou shuddered and was shot in the back again. Unable to support his body anymore, he fell directly on top of him.
He slid to the ground with Jiang Yuelou's body, full of self-blame and annoyance, as well as deep despair.
"He blackmailed you?" Jiang Yuelou asked weakly, already on the verge of death.
Chen Yuzhi choked with sobs: "Yuelou, I owe you this life, and I will pay it back to you in the next life."
"No need to pay back, one shot for one shot, it's even." Jiang Yuelou forced a smile, and soon coughed up blood, which splashed on Chen Yuzhi's body. Holding his breath, he spoke out the information intermittently: "They...the day of their uprising...is set on New Year's Eve..."
At the same time, Zhan Junbai had already led people out of the building, and quickly ran towards the Huxin Pavilion.
Jiang Yuelou quickly discovered the movements of this group of people, and with all his last strength, pushed away Chen Yuzhi, who was immersed in pain and defenseless, and turned towards the Huxin Pavilion into the biting lake water.
As soon as he fell into the water, Zhan Junbai rushed into the lake pavilion, rushed to the fence, and fired at the water without hesitation. A series of bullets shot across the water, causing layers of spray.
Chen Yuzhi couldn't bear to look into the water at all, and sat down on the spot as if he had lost his soul, maintaining the posture just now, closing his eyes in pain, tears still flowing out quietly.
Zhan Junbai ignored him at all, and shouted at his subordinates: "Look! You need to see people in life, and corpses in death."
Except for Qiu Ming and Sun Heying, several subordinates jumped into the water without hesitation to find the trace of Jiang Yuelou.
Zhan Junbai turned around, and only then did he have the time to look at Chen Yuzhi coldly. Seeing that he was overly sad, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, and said mockingly, "Why, after this shot is fired, you seem to be in more pain than him."
Chen Yuzhi didn't want to talk nonsense with him at all, he raised his hand to wipe the blood on the corner of his mouth, stood up, and said to him calmly, "I've completed the terms of the deal, it's your turn."
Zhan Junbai walked up to him and asked sharply, "What did he tell you before he fell into the water?"
"He said, one shot for one, it's even."
"Didn't you say anything else?" Zhan Junbai expressed doubts about his answer.
Chen Yuzhi shook his head slowly, his gaze suddenly became sharp: "Does Director Zhan not believe me, or is he going to cross the river and demolish the bridge?"
Zhan Junbai stared at him for a moment, observed his expression and reaction carefully, and found nothing suspicious, "Take Keying away from Jingcheng, and never come back." After finishing speaking, he winked at Qiu Ming.
"Doctor Chen, let's go." Qiu Ming pointed to the car parked opposite.
Chen Yuzhi followed Qiu Ming, and left the Huxin Pavilion step by step, with a heavy heart, the surprised eyes of Jiangyuelou when he was shot in front of his eyes were all shaking.
Yuelou, I'm sorry for you, I will avenge you, wait for me. He thought in his heart, with monstrous hatred and anger hidden in his eyes.
Near the train station, pedestrians are coming and going, and there are occasional roars of trains.
"Where is Ke Yingren?" Chen Yuzhi looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help asking.
Qiu Ming didn't answer his words, but looked at the car passing across the street, which happened to stop in front of them.
The driver of the car pulled Chen Keying, who was struggling desperately, out of the car, her face was full of fear.
When Chen Yuzhi saw his sister, he became excited again, and couldn't wait to run towards Chen Keying.
At this time, Chen Keying also saw her brother, and bit the driver's hand hard, forcing him to let go and greet him.
The siblings hugged each other tightly, and Chen Keying hugged Chen Yuzhi's neck, crying loudly in his ear.
The crying made Chen Yuzhi burst into tears, and he couldn't help muttering: "Ke Ying, brother is late..."
Chen Keying sobbed: "I thought, I lost you and I will never find you again."
"It's not your fault, it's my brother who failed to take good care of you."
Standing aside, Qiu Ming couldn't help coughing twice, reminding Chen Yuzhi to pay attention to the time and occasion.
Chen Yuzhi got up, held Chen Keying's hand tightly, and looked at him warily.
Qiu Ming took out two train tickets and handed them over, and said, "In half an hour, there will be a train to Suzhou."
Chen Keying was wiping tears when she saw the train ticket and asked innocently: "Why do you want to go to Suzhou? Jingcheng is our home."
Chen Yuzhi looked down at her, and smiled dotingly at her: "No matter where we go, we are home when we are together."
Chen Keying thought about it seriously, nodded and smiled.
Qiu Ming had no intention of watching the drama of the two brothers and sisters' deep love, and before leaving, he warned: "Don't forget your promise to the third master."
Chen Yuzhi nodded lightly, and led Chen Keying towards the train station without looking back.
The driver who brought Chen Keying over just now had been instructed to leave only after seeing the two of them getting into the car, so he followed them at a distance.
In the waiting hall of the railway station, the brother and sister are waiting for the departure.
Chen Keying returned to her brother again, full of joy, seeing her brother's preoccupation, but also a little worried, she asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you unhappy?"
Chen Yuzhi turned his head and forced a smile at her: "I'm happy, my brother finally found you, why can't you be unhappy."
"But you have a lot of thoughts in your eyes."
This childish speech made Chen Yuzhi's heart ache again, and he murmured blankly: "Ke Ying, brother seems to have done something wrong."
"Then go and correct it. You taught me that if you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it."
Chen Yuzhi shook his head with a wry smile: "It's too late."
"You didn't try it, how do you know it's too late?" Chen Keying stood up and took her brother's hand.
Chen Yuzhi looked at the innocent sister, thought about it, and asked, "Ke Ying, if a train comes, there are two tracks, one track is your only family member, and there are many, many people on the other track, the train doesn't care. Whichever track you go, there will be casualties. If it were you, what would you choose?"
Chen Keying blinked her eyes, thinking: "Let the driver uncle stop."
"The wheel of history cannot be stopped."
"Then... I will choose to let more people survive."
"Why?" Chen Yuzhi looked at her in surprise.
"I lost a family member, which is a sadness. Many people on the other track have many relatives, and their relatives lose them, and there are thousands of sadness." Her innocent and simple answer beat Chen Yuzhi's heart, all the time The idea of leaving and starting over was a little shaken.
At this time, Chen Keying asked: "Brother, I am on another track, right?"
Chen Yuzhi stroked her hair, as a tacit consent.
"Then let's stop the driver uncle before the train hurts those people, shall we?"
Chen Yuzhi was moved. Chen Keying didn't know the price she would have to pay to stop the driver's uncle. It was her kind heart that drove her to make such a decision. In the past, he was also such a person, why did he change? Why
He looked at Chen Keying with tears in his eyes, held her hand tightly, and said hello with a sob.
"The train bound for Suzhou is about to depart. Passengers, please check your tickets and enter the station."
At this moment, the broadcast sounded, and Chen Yuzhi got up, leading Chen Keying towards the ticket gate.
Not far away, the driver stared at the backs of Chen Yuzhi and Chen Keying, confirmed that they had indeed walked into the platform, and then turned and left.
After a while, passengers who were about to board the train entered the ticket gate one after another, and the waiting room gradually became empty. Among the only remaining crowd, Chen Yuzhi led Chen Keying back against the flow of people, looked around, but didn't see the driver who had been supervising them all the time, so he hurried towards the door.
He first settled Chen Keying with Gao Yun, the principal of Ci'an Primary School, to relieve his worries, and then returned to Chu Ran's apartment.
At this time, Chu Ran also discovered the code in the newspaper, and didn't understand why Chen Yuzhi risked contacting Jiang Yuelou behind her back, and rushed from the newspaper office to the place indicated by the code.
The Huxin Pavilion was empty, only the blood stains on the ground told her what had happened here.
She had a bad premonition in her heart, and even imagined that these bloodstains were the traces left by two people confronting each other with guns and shooting each other.
No, they trust each other so much that nothing like this will happen.
She turned around and ran away, not knowing where to find someone, so she had to go back to the apartment first.
At the door of the apartment, she happened to bump into Chen Yuzhi who was rushing back, and took him to look him over carefully. Seeing that there were no new injuries on his body, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I saw your advertisement in the newspaper. What's the matter? Where's Jiang Yuelou?" She asked eagerly.
Chen Yuzhi looked at her silently, eyes full of guilt, not knowing how to speak.
The bad feeling in Chu Ran's heart became heavier, and he asked: "I went to the Huxin Pavilion, and there was blood on the ground. Is Jiang Yuelou injured?"
"He... is dead." Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Chen Yuzhi opened his mouth with difficulty.
Chu Ran didn't react, and asked blankly, "Who died?"
"Jiangyue Tower."
"How is it possible? I don't believe it." Hearing the name, she subconsciously denied it.
Chen Yuzhi closed his eyes and leaned against the wall as if he was exhausted, "I saw it with my own eyes."
Seeing his slumped face, Chu Ran finally began to try to accept this fact, his eyes were suddenly foggy, and his vision was blurred by tears. "Zhan Junbai's hand, isn't it?"
"It's me." Chen Yuzhi lowered his head, his voice soft and painful.
"I'm going to find him right now!" Chu Ran didn't hear clearly, so she turned around and rushed out, but when she passed by Chen Yu, she was grabbed by him.
"I was the one who shot." Chen Yuzhi looked into her eyes and raised his voice a lot.
Chu Ran couldn't believe it, and carefully confirmed: "Did you kill Jiang Yuelou?"
Chen Yuzhi nodded painfully.
Without hesitation, Chu Ran slapped Chen Yuzhi hard on the face. Chen Yuzhi didn't dodge or dodge, he was slapped abruptly, and his heart was more difficult to accept than Chu Ran.
At this time, footsteps were heard not far away.
Chu Ran gritted her teeth, temporarily let go of her resentment, and pulled Chen Yuzhi back to the apartment quickly.
The two sat on the sofa facing each other, and after a long silence, Chu Ran spoke again with a hoarse voice.
"Chen Yuzhi, give me a reason."
Chen Yuzhi's mind was in a mess, and he didn't want to explain for himself at all. After a moment of silence, he said with difficulty: "For Keying."
"Your sister? Isn't she..." Chu Ran was completely stunned.
"She didn't. She's still alive, in Zhan Junbai's hands."
"Zhan Junbai blackmailed you with Keying?"
Chen Yuzhi nodded heavily.
With close relatives on the one hand and close friends who have been through life and death on the other, Chu Ran instantly understood Chen Yuzhi's difficulties and sighed unconsciously.
"I understand your choice. But I will not forgive you. You go, I will blame Zhan Junbai for this enmity."
"I don't expect your forgiveness, nor Jiang Yuelou's forgiveness." Chen Yuzhi raised his head and said firmly: "I stay with the same purpose as you, revenge and saving people. Before Yuelou died, Tell me a message."
Chu Ran sat up straight unconsciously, looked at Chen Yuzhi seriously, and waited for his next words.
"Zhan Junbai will start an incident on New Year's Eve. Chu Ran, let's cooperate. Maintaining Jingcheng is Yuelou's greatest wish, and I will defend Jingcheng for him."
Chu Ran was silent, thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. She took out a pen and paper, and said, "I always feel that this matter is still suspicious. Please tell the story carefully, and we will smooth it out."
"Yesterday afternoon, when I was studying the map of Jingcheng, someone stuffed a letter through the crack of the door, which was written by Chu Ran. I didn't intend to open it. After all, this is your letter. But I actually put it in the envelope. On the back, I found a small flower painted by Keying! I was stunned, and opened the envelope, which read: If you want to see Keying, come alone, No. 328, Qixi Road. You know the rest of it.”
Chu Ran thought while remembering: "Who is the sender?"
Chen Yuzhi shook his head: "I don't know. Just in case, I didn't open the door."
"Wait." Chu Ran suddenly thought of something, and his expression was startled, "How does Zhan Junbai know that you are still alive? You even know that you live with me?"
"That's right, there was indeed a mistake." Chen Yuzhi also became serious, "At that time, my attention was all on Keying, and I neglected this problem."
"There is only one person who knows that you are here, Director Bai. Could it be that he leaked the secret?" Chu Ran analyzed.
Chen Yuzhi hurriedly asked: "What did you guys talk about last time? Who brought the topic to me?"
Chu Ran recalled it carefully for a while, with a serious expression on his face: "Director Bai asked about it on his own initiative."
Chen Yuzhi's face became even more ugly, "He is very suspicious."
"But how? Isn't he and Yuelou the only ones who know about this plan?"
"The specific reason is unknown." Chen Yuzhi got up, paced back and forth, venting his anxiety. "Originally, I had a question. Why did Zhan Junbai suddenly suspect Yuelou's undercover identity? Now it seems that he was the one who instigated Director Bai, learned all the plans from Director Bai, and used our dialogue The director's defenselessness, knowing my location, sent the letter."
The two looked at each other, a trace of worry flashed in their eyes at the same time.
Chu Ran counted the days and was a little worried: "Zhan Junbai is thoughtful and good at disguising, so he is not easy to deal with. Besides, we are running out of time, and there are only a few days left before New Year's Eve."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for the two of us alone to compete with him. It is best to join forces through the government or the army."
Chu Ran disagrees with this method, "There is another scary thing about Zhan Junbai. He quietly set up this game of chess, and we can't tell who is his chess piece. Recently, the positions in Jingcheng have been changing frequently. Now that I think about it, It is very likely that Zhan Junbai sent his people to the position secretly, just for the day of the uprising."
Chen Yuzhi thought for a while, and it was indeed the case. He nodded and said, "Indeed, even Director Bai can be used by him, and it's not impossible for others."
"I have an adventurous idea." Chu Ran said suddenly, "I married Zhan Junbai, and he has been pursuing me."
"It's too dangerous, I don't agree." Chen Yuzhi refused without thinking.
"Other than that, we have nothing else to do, time is running out."
Chen Yuzhi still hesitated: "But... for Yuelou, you really paid too much."
"It's not all because of him, but also the people of Jingcheng." Chu Ran smiled indifferently, "If I can get close to him smoothly, I can find a way to get more information. We should cooperate internally and externally to destroy their coup plan. It is also Yuelou's wish."
"By proposing this plan, you have no intention of coming back alive." Chen Yuzhi pierced her determination sharply.
"That's not important, I just want to avenge Yuelou."
Chen Yuzhi looked at the determined Chu Ran, and stretched out his hand: "Count me in and get revenge together."
The two hands were clasped tightly together, reaching an agreement, and the fire of revenge burst out in the eyes at the same time.
