When Zhan Tianqing learned that Jiang Yuelou was dead, he was a little skeptical besides being surprised.
Zhan Junbai didn't hide anything, and explained: "Although the news of his death is not completely certain, it is almost inseparable. Chen Yuzhi fired a shot from the front, in the abdomen, and I shot it from behind, in the chest. , were all fatal injuries. Although he tried to jump into the lake to escape, but in the cold winter months and the temperature in the water was extremely low, he was injured again and lost a lot of blood, so it was basically impossible for him to survive."
Zhan Tianqing narrowed his eyes, exuding a dangerous aura all over his body, he pondered: "When you don't see the corpse, everything may be reversed."
"Understood. Just in case, I sent someone to search downstream."
Zhan Tianqing nodded, and changed the subject: "There is still a week left, how are your preparations going?"
"All is ready except for the opportunity."
Only then did Zhan Tianqing smile, "Okay. At eight o'clock on New Year's Eve, Jingcheng will routinely set off fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate the New Year. With the sound of firecrackers, I will lead people to attack through the east gate. Minister Liu will notify the soldiers in advance to release water, secretly Response. How do you arrange in the city?"
"The brothers in the prison started to stir up trouble around five o'clock in the afternoon. Bai Jinbo would turn a blind eye to help them escape from prison. Under the leadership of Sun Heying, the people from Jinmatang occupied several fortresses in the city in advance. Indiscriminately cutting off support and connections between districts."
Zhan Tianqing was very satisfied with these arrangements, and praised: "Not bad, very comprehensive. Mayor Cai has been a little paranoid about the changes in the positions of various departments recently. Be careful, and don't make that old man suspect."
Zhan Junbai nodded, and returned to his Zhan mansion.
Because Yutangchun didn't have much time, he didn't torture him anymore, but moved him from the basement back to the guest room, but still handcuffed his hands, restricting his freedom.
When he walked into the guest room, Yutangchun had just coughed violently, and there were eye-catching bloodstains on the handkerchief. He seemed to be used to it, wiped the corners of his lips calmly, and threw the handkerchief aside.
Zhan Junbai watched this scene silently, feeling a little complicated. Seeing that the window was open and the cold wind was constantly blowing in, he went straight to close the window. This is obviously an act of concern, but he said hurtful words.
"So impatient to die?"
Yutangchun didn't even look at him, still staring out the window in a daze, with a dull expression: "Yes, I can't wait. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a lot of snow this year, and I'm afraid I won't see it in the future."
A wave of anger surged in Zhan Junbai's heart, "Then you support me until it snows, and I will allow you to go out and have a look."
Yutangchun turned around, looked at him and smiled slightly: "With you here, it's too unappetizing, the snow is dirty, so don't worry about it."
"It's up to you. Even if you die, the corpse will wait until it snows before being buried."
Disgust flashed in Yutangchun's eyes, he didn't bother to answer, got up and walked towards the desk.
Zhan Junbai looked at his back, "For the sake of friends, is there any unfulfilled last wish?"
Yutangchun stopped in his tracks, looked back at him, with a sarcastic smile on his face, "I hope that you will end up miserable and miserable."
"I warned you, you will end up angering me." Enraged, Zhan Junbai said viciously.
Yu Tangchun was not afraid: "Are you going to eat crab again tonight?"
Zhan Junbai's angry eyes swept across his face inch by inch, and finally walked away.
He went back to the study, sat on the sofa sulking, Qiu Ming came over with a cup of coffee, and reported in a low voice: "He Ying and the others searched for twenty miles downstream along the river, but the bad news is that they haven't found the body yet, good news The news is that the river is turbulent, there is nowhere to go ashore, and there is a cliff fifteen miles away. If Jiang Yuelou did not sink into the water, it must have fallen from this cliff. Either way, the possibility of surviving is unlikely .”
Zhan Junbai's mood improved, and he raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction.
Qiu Ming looked at his face and said with a smile: "The biggest obstacle has been removed, and the operation in a few days will definitely be successful. I will congratulate you in advance."
Zhan Junbai gave him a sideways glance: "Stop flattering. Before the dust settles, everything changes."
"Then I'll tell you when I'm done."
The two were chatting eagerly when the guard suddenly reported that Yu Tangchun had gone to the garden to bask in the sun and met Chu Ran who was visiting.
Zhan Junbai hurried to the window, and saw Yu Tangchun in the garden, shaking the handcuffs calmly, and said to Chu Ran with a light smile, "As you can see, he is under house arrest."
Chu Ran was about to ask the reason, but Qiu Ming rushed forward to stop her and invited her into the living room.
"I haven't seen Ms. Chu for a long time, and it seems to have calmed down a bit." Zhan Junbai went downstairs slowly, secretly observing Chu Ran's expression.
He knew in his heart that Chu Ran already knew his identity, and he might have other thoughts about his sudden visit today.
Chu Ran looked around, and saw that the gentleman pursuing her was not as kind as before, and guessed that he also knew that she had peeped into his secret. The two had their own thoughts, and neither of them pointed out the other.
"There are too many things to do, just get busy."
"Oh? What is it that makes Ms. Chu so worried? Is there anything I can do for Ms. Chu?"
Chu Ran endured the disgust in her heart, kept a proper smile on her face, and said straight to the point: "I don't know if Director Zhan still likes me?"
Zhan Junbai didn't expect her to be so direct, he was stunned for a moment, and nodded with a smile: "Naturally, isn't Zhan still queuing with Ms. Chu?"
"Then let's get married!" Chu Ran's words were astonishing, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.
Zhan Junbai was even more surprised. Looking at the calm and fearless girl in front of him, he said in astonishment: "Miss Chu is proposing marriage? It seems to be the opposite. I should say that."
"Isn't equality between men and women being advocated now? There is nothing against it. Director Zhan, what do you think of my proposal?"
"To be honest, I was a little surprised." Zhan Junbai quickly regained his composure, thinking about her intentions while speaking.
He didn't expect that Chu Ran didn't seem to give up until he reached his goal, and asked: "Then do you accept it?"
"Dream." Zhan Junbai straightened his cuffs, not pointing out her ulterior motives, and accompanied her to continue the performance. "I'll ask someone to calculate our birthday horoscope later, it's an auspicious date."
After achieving his goal, Chu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and further suggested: "Okay. But in my opinion, since the New Year is coming soon, double happiness is not bad."
Zhan Junbai thought about it, looked into her eyes and asked tentatively: "Miss Chu, what do you think of New Year's Eve?"
"Yes." Chu Ran readily agreed.
"It's just that time is tight, and I'm worried that I've wronged you. How about meeting the elders of both parties today to discuss the details of the wedding?"
In Chu Ran's heart, this is not a real marriage, and it is full of dangers. Naturally, he didn't want his family to get involved, so he hurriedly declined: "The orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker are old-fashioned. Marriage is a matter between the two of us. Just decide for yourself."
At this moment, Zhan Junbai had completely seen through her intentions, and laughed loudly: "Miss Chu is really different. What do you think about the wedding? I'll arrange someone to prepare for it."
"It's all right, I'll follow your arrangement." Chu Ran responded, suddenly thinking of Yu Tangchun whom he met just now, he couldn't bear it, and made a request to Zhan Junbai. "Let Boss Yu go, before the wedding, this is my only request."
In the guest room, Yu Tangchun was still sitting in front of the window, looking at the bleakness in the distance, and did not respond to Zhan Junbai entering the door.
"Chu Ran asked me to let you go. What do you think?"
Yutangchun turned his head when he heard the words, not feeling joyful, determined that Zhan Junbai would not let him go, smiled sarcastically, and asked, "Are you willing?"
"You think I won't?"
"Even death is an extravagant hope for me, let alone freedom."
Zhan Junbai deliberately turned the other way: "I'll let you go."
Yutangchun was very surprised, staring at Zhan Junbai's expression, judging the truth of what he said.
"You think I won't agree? Then I will do the opposite and let you go." Zhan Junbai said, took out the key and opened Yutangchun's handcuffs.
Yutangchun's hands were free again, so he believed his words. He frowned, looked at Zhan Junbai who turned to leave, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will continue to take revenge?"
"You can't even live for half a month, what revenge do you have? Enjoy your last free time."
Zhan Junbai returned to the study and stood by the window the whole time, watching Yu Tangchun leave with Chu Ran, feeling a sense of loss suddenly surged in his heart. But he quickly suppressed this emotion and concentrated on planning for a few days later.
Leaving the development mansion, Yutangchun had nowhere to go, so Chu Ran took him back to the apartment and listened to him with Chen Yuzhi about his entanglement with Zhan Junbai, feeling a little dumbfounded.
"I didn't expect you to have this kind of grievance. I thought you were under house arrest because you discovered the secret of his going to riot." Seeing that his face was really bad, Chu Ran poured a cup of hot water and put it in his hand.
"He's so good at disguising, he's fooled everyone." Yu Tangchun covered his water glass to warm his hands, and couldn't help shivering when he thought about the past.
"Did you hear any news about the riot in the Zhan Mansion? Time is running out, we must act as soon as possible." Chen Yuzhi asked.
"He will never talk about these things around me." Yutangchun shook his head, but still trying to remember, suddenly, a fragment flashed in his mind, and said hurriedly: "I remembered, once I passed by the study , I vaguely heard his voice coming from inside, it seems that too many people at the pier will attract attention, so ask Qiu Ming to send some reliable faces."
"Wharf?" Chu Ran was thinking.
And Chen Yuzhi opened the map again, and while looking for the location of the pier, he said: "The area around the pier is mostly a warehouse, and there should be a batch of hidden things."
Chu Ran quickly followed his train of thought: "The most important thing in an incident is the weapon, probably..."
"arsenal."
"That's right, as long as we find the arsenal and destroy the arsenal, Zhan Junbai's uprising will definitely be affected." Yu Tangchun also joined the discussion.
Chu Ran thought for a while and suggested: "It's best to do both. I'll try in the name of the newspaper to see if I can get an interview with Mayor Cai and tell him the information."
Chen Yuzhi took a pen and clicked on the location of the pier on the map: "Okay. Leave the pier to me, and I'll check."
"Count me in." Yutangchun stretched out his hand in front of them.
"But your body..." Chen Yuzhi looked at him with worry in his eyes.
Yutangchun had already seen through life and death, and said with a hearty smile: "Sooner or later, I will die. Before I die, let me do something meaningful."
Hearing what he said, Chen Yuzhi became more determined and put his hand on his. Seeing this, Chu Ran also stretched out her hand.
The three hands overlapped together, continuing what Jiang Yuelou would not be able to accomplish in the future.
At the same time, Zhan Tianqing also learned the news that Zhan Junbai was going to marry Chu Ran, and was furious.
"Zhan Junbai, is there something wrong with your brain? You know that Chu Ran already knows that you are the third master, and you still accept her ulterior motives?"
Zhan Junbai still smiled slightly, "Second uncle calm down, the wedding is just a cover, she is acting, and I will act with her."
"How to cover?" Seeing his confident appearance, Zhan Tianqing's mood stabilized a little.
"The date is chosen on New Year's Eve. I want to invite dignitaries from various departments to come here. Presumably they will not lose face for my Zhan Junbai's wedding, and even come with their wives and daughters."
Zhan Tianqing suddenly realized: "You want to take the opportunity to catch them all?"
"If you want to change the sun and the moon into a new sky, you have to replace some disobedient people."
Zhan Tianqing laughed loudly, patted him on the shoulder and praised: "It's ruthless enough, so I'm relieved. I thought you were dazzled by beauty."
In Zhan Junbai's eyes, he did not hide his desire for power, and said lightly: "The love between children and daughters is only fleeting, and returning to heaven is the long-term solution."
Zhan Tianqing was about to say something when a guard knocked on the door and whispered a report in his ear, which made his expression change.
"Bai Jinbo sent a message that Chu Ran went to the direction of the government building in ten minutes. It seems that she wants to inform. Bai Jinbo has already rushed over, do you want to go together?"
Zhan Junbai thought for a while: "No, according to my current relationship with her, it would be inconvenient in the past. You and Director Bai, it would be best if you can stop it in time, but if it's too late..."
Zhan Tianqing showed a ferocious expression: "Just tear up your face and make that old man a puppet."
In the government building, the mayor's office, Cai Changyao was flipping through documents at his desk.
The secretary brought Chu Ran in and said to him, "Mayor Cai, this lady surnamed Chu said that she is a reporter from "Jingcheng Daily" and the fiancée of Director Zhan. She wants to interview you."
Mayor Cai moved his eyes from the document to Chu Ran, looked at him for a moment, and asked, "Are you Jun Bai's fiancee? What do you want to say?"
"Zhan Junbai, he..." Chu Ran was about to say that Zhan Junbai was trying to rebel, but Bai Jinbo and Zhan Tianqing broke in without knocking on the door, interrupting her.
Cai Changyao glanced at the person who came, obviously a little displeased, but facing Zhan Tianqing, he had to bear it back: "You two, this is my Cai Changyao's office, not a coffee shop that you can just push the door to enter."
"I'm sorry, Mayor Cai, there is an urgent situation that needs to be reported to you." Zhan Tianqing smiled perfunctorily.
Chu Ran became vigilant from the moment they entered the door, looked at Bai Jinbo, and saw the threat and warning in his eyes.
"Miss Chu, we are going to talk about business, please stay away." Bai Jinbo pointed to the door, motioning her to leave quickly.
Chu Ran seemed to want to say something, but after weighing the pros and cons, he chose to give up temporarily and turned to leave.
Cai Changyao felt a little baffled, looked at the two people who rushed over and asked, "What's the matter?"
For this, Zhan Tianqing was already prepared: "The warlords in the south have been going northward recently, and they just received information that they are less than 50 kilometers away from Jingcheng. Mayor Cai, the situation is serious and cannot be underestimated."
"So fast?" This was indeed a major event, forcing Cai Changyao to frown tightly.
Bai Jinbo echoed Zhan Tianqing: "That's right, our Jingcheng's defense strength is not very strong. Once we attack the city, it may be difficult to resist."
Cai Changyao got up, motioned the two of them to sit on the sofa in the reception area, and asked Zhan Tianqing further about his thoughts.
"There is a mountain depression twenty miles outside the city. It is the only way to enter Jingcheng from the south. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I think it is possible to send a part of the garrison. When they pass by, there will be a beautiful battle." ambush."
"Sure enough, it's a good idea to fight on the battlefield for many years." Bai Jinbo clapped his hands and applauded.
But Cai Changyao still had some concerns, hesitatingly said: "But once these people withdraw from Jingcheng, the defense force in the city will be even weaker. Once something happens, I'm afraid it will be too late to help."
"Mayor Cai, foreign enemies are present, and this is a serious problem." Zhan Tianqing pretended to be serious, and knocked hard on the coffee table.
Bai Jinbo followed up and said: "I agree with Commander Zhan's opinion. Besides, Jingcheng has been in good order recently, and the workers and refugees have been properly dealt with, so there will be no trouble."
Cai Changyao was persuaded by the two, thought for a moment, and finally agreed. "Okay, then bring it up when the committee is held in the afternoon, let's discuss it again and go through the process."
Zhan Tianqing and Bai Jinbo agreed, and looked at each other with calculated smiles on their faces.
After leaving the gate of the government building, Chu Ran could no longer find a chance to enter, so he had to wait for something to be gained from the pier.
At this time, both Chen Yuzhi and Yutangchun put on disguises, walked to a tea stand on the pier and sat down, pretending to drink tea and rest their feet, but actually secretly stared at the opposite warehouse.
Yutangchun watched the people coming and going not far away, and asked in a low voice, "What did you find?"
Chen Yuzhi shook his head: "I haven't noticed anything unusual for the time being. However, I may gain something when it's dinner time." Seeing that Yutangchun was a little puzzled, he explained a few words: "Dinner or lunch is usually the shift time. You can observe which warehouse personnel have obvious changes. Or if there is no shift change arrangement, send someone out to bring meals. These details can find information.”
"Excellent." Yu Tangchun was convinced by Chen Yuzhi's analysis.
"Yuelou taught me." Chen Yuzhi paused for a moment, looking a little lonely.
It's not good for the two of them to stay in the tea shop all the time, which is more conspicuous. After a while, they checked out and moved, hiding in a nearby sparsely populated alley and continuing to observe.
They noticed that a man walked to the tea stall and said something to the boss, who then handed over two large bags from the stall and was taken away by him.
Chen Yuzhi felt that this person was suspicious, so he and Yu Tangchun followed him.
Sure enough, the man went straight to a warehouse with his things. Before entering the door, he looked around vigilantly to confirm that there was nothing wrong, and then knocked on the signal, and the door opened and entered quickly.
Yu Tangchun felt that this person was very familiar, so he tried hard to think about it.
And Chen Yuzhi was also secretly analyzing, and said in a low voice: "The boss seems to have known that he would come to pick up things at this time, so he prepared them in advance. Judging from the weight, it is enough for four or five people. Maybe it's someone from Jinmatang." After talking for a while, he saw Yutangchun was in a trance and didn't respond to his words, so he asked strangely, "What's wrong?"
"I've seen this person before, in the Zhan Mansion." Yu Tangchun's eyes lit up, and he finally remembered.
"Are you sure?" Chen Yuzhi was overjoyed.
"I saw it from a distance from the window, so I didn't remember it for a while. He seems to be Sun Heying's man, named Cheng Yong, and he came to Zhan Mansion with him."
"Then it can be confirmed that this warehouse is where they store their arms."
The news excited the two of them, and they couldn't wait to discuss their next move.
"Water is invisible to arms, and once soaked in water, it will be useless." Chen Yuzhi thought about it.
"It's not easy. Although there is a pier nearby and there is water everywhere, how do you get the water into the warehouse? They have a lot of people, and we can't move things out."
"Moving out..." Chen Yuzhi pondered, "Moving out? I think it's feasible! If the warehouse is in danger, they will definitely transfer the arms. When they act, we will notify the people from the city defense department to arrest them."
"Wouldn't it be safer to notify in advance?"
Chen Yuzhi shook his head: "It's better to wait until they transport the ammunition out, in case there are people from Jinmatang in the city defense department, and they will report in advance, and they have other countermeasures."
Yu Tangchun agreed, and the two began to act. As soon as I was busy, it was time for the sunset.
In the wharf warehouse, Cheng Yong and a few Jinmatang minions sat on boxes to eat, and there were many boxes containing ammunition piled up beside them.
Suddenly, someone shouted outside the door: "Fire! Fire!"
Cheng Yong was taken aback, and immediately put down the food in his hand and rushed to the door.
Sure enough, another warehouse next to theirs was billowing with smoke, and it seemed that the fire was very serious.
Cheng Yong turned around and ran back to the warehouse, shouting impatiently: "The next door is flooded, and it will be burned soon. Take the things away, hurry up!"
A few minions started to move in a hurry.
Chen Yuzhi and Yu Tangchun hid at the entrance of the alley to observe for a while, Chen Yuzhi said to Yu Tangchun, "It's almost time, and it's just in time for the people from the City Defense Department to come over. I'll make a call, you keep an eye on it."
Yutangchun nodded, staring intently in the direction of the warehouse.
At this time, a car drove over and stopped at the door of the warehouse. Cheng Yong and others loaded boxes on the rear compartment neatly, all movements were very cautious.
Chen Yuzhi came back from the phone call and asked, "How's it going?"
"It looks like it's half installed. What does the City Defense Department say?"
"They'll be there in ten minutes, so the timing should be just right."
Both of them were a little excited, and hid in the alley to continue to observe. But until the car was installed and ready to drive away, the people from the City Defense Department hadn't arrived yet.
Chen Yuzhi was very anxious, Yutangchun patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, and asked, "Didn't Jiang Yuelou teach you what to do in this situation?"
Chen Yuzhi sighed slightly: "If Jiang Yuelou was here, he would blow up the fuel tank with one shot and blow up the whole truck of ammunition."
Yu Tangchun was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I'll fry it."
"No, you don't have a gun, the past will die together."
But Yutangchun smiled: "I am dying of illness, at most I can only live for half a month, if I can die with this car of ammunition, it is not in vain."
He spoke frankly, with a kind of detachment that had put life and death aside, which made Chen Yuzhi feel sad for a while.
While the two were talking, the car full of ammunition was ready to start.
Yutangchun took one last look at Chen Yuzhi, and said decisively: "If I don't succeed, you will never let Zhan Junbai succeed." After he finished speaking, he turned around and ran out without waiting for Chen Yuzhi's reply.
Chen Yuzhi watched Yu Tangchun rushing to the street outside, blocking the approaching car, feeling impatient and helpless.
Cheng Yong was driving when he saw someone rushing out, slammed on the brakes, and almost hit his head on the windshield. He was very angry, jumped out of the car and cursed: "You are looking for death!" Halfway through the curse, he suddenly felt that the person in front of him looked familiar, and he showed a surprised expression, "It's you? Boss Yu."
Yutangchun opened his hands and said firmly to him, "I won't let you take this cart of ammunition away."
Cheng Yong spit on the side of his head, and smiled angrily: "I said, you, a useless person who was abandoned by Director Zhan, do you think you have any value to threaten me? Go away, or I will be rude. "
At this time, Zhan Junbai also rushed over after receiving the news. Anger flashed in his eyes when he saw Yutangchun preparing to spoil his good deeds. "Fu Cheng, I have taken extra care of you by letting you leave the development mansion, don't know what is good or bad."
"Why is Director Zhan so nervous? What are you worried about? Is this box of ammunition?" Yu Tangchun showed no fear, and walked around to the fuel tank of the car while smiling.
"It seems that you are sincerely begging to die." Zhan Junbai stared at Yutangchun, walked towards him step by step, and said harshly: "Okay, I will grant you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yutangchun suddenly took out a lighter and pressed it, and threw it directly towards the fuel tank. He smiled brilliantly at Zhan Junbai, with relief and wantonness in his smile, and said loudly, "Let's go on the road together."
Everyone present was shocked, and immediately rushed to the side and got down. Zhan Junbai also moved neatly to the side, rolling out of the center of the explosion.
The car exploded loudly, resounding through the sky, and the flames and the sunset glow in the sky reflected each other.
Not far away, Chen Yuzhi witnessed this scene with grief and solemnity, the dazzling fire reflected on his face, tears glistened, as if he saw Yu Tangchun wearing a red costume, singing his favorite drama in the hot flames, Brilliant end.
The ammunition was gone, Zhan Junbai was furious, and once he returned to the Zhan mansion, he dropped the tea set on the table.
"Director, please calm down." Qiu Ming on the side advised tremblingly.
"Where's Fu Cheng's body?"
"Although the face was completely destroyed by the bombing, I was worried that someone who stayed at the scene would find clues, so I brought it back with the car."
Zhan Junbai glanced over indifferently: "Find a pond where crabs are raised, and get rid of it."
Qiu Ming was frightened by Zhan Junbai's perverted order, so he complied anyway. He was about to go out when he saw Zhan Tianqing rushing in angrily, completely ignoring his existence, walked straight up to Zhan Junbai, pointed at him and said angrily: "I said earlier, keeping him is a disaster."
"It's my fault." Zhan Junbai restrained his temper instantly, bowed his head and apologized. "The top priority is how to explain to Mayor Cai, and how to deal with the ammunition used for the incident."
Zhan Tianqing snorted coldly: "Old man Cai, you don't have to worry about it. Bai Jinbo will prevaricate him and put the crime on Jinmatang. Anyway, the arsenal they secretly built is also nearby, and you replaced the things, but They were also half of the batch of goods that exploded. As for the ammunition to be used in the incident, it’s fine if the city doesn’t have time to arrange it. I brought it in from outside the city that day, and it took half a day.”
"In this way, there will be no way to cooperate with the outside world, and the risk will be greater." Zhan Junbai sighed knowing that he was guilty.
"As long as you control those people at the wedding, there's no problem." Zhan Tianqing was more confident about this. To be merciful is to leave a dead end for yourself. I would rather kill by mistake than let it go."
After finally sending Zhan Tianqing away, the Zhan Mansion fell silent, and a sense of oppression swept over Zhan Junbai's whole body. He walked alone into the guest room where Yutangchun once lived, and the memories about him reappeared in his mind.
In Tianyun Garden, the curtain slowly opened, and Yu Tangchun made a stunning appearance, with a soft figure, exquisite makeup, and beautiful libretto.
Zhan mansion, the two met alone for the first time, Yu Tangchun stood at the door with a slight smile, the white cloak made his temperament even more clean.
At the tailor shop, a killer disguised as a tailor attacked with a knife. Yutangchun blocked the fatal knife with his thin body, and the white gown was dripping with blood.
And in the cell in the basement, Yu Tangchun asked sternly why he didn't kill him with a pale face.
All these things were gone like a passing cloud, and with that explosion, they were all gone.
At that time, Zhan Junbai didn't answer him why he didn't kill him, but now, he fell down in front of the window where Yutangchun often sat, and said quietly: "I take you as a friend, the only friend. No one has ever stood in my way." Knife."
The room was dim, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly, only the faint sound of humming Farewell My Concubine could be heard.
Responding to the tune, the image of Yutangchun appeared in front of him wrapped in dust, and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, the only regret is that I couldn't kill you with that gun. I hope that you will not end well after suffering."
Zhan Junbai sat alone in the darkness, the sound of the song gradually faded away.
Besides him, Chen Yuzhi and Chu Ran also sat at the table with a heavy heart and sad faces. They lit a white candle and mourned Yutangchun's death.
"He's not Yu Ji, he's the real overlord." Chen Yuzhi's words were full of admiration.
Chu Ran nodded: "Life is gorgeous, and death is also gorgeous."
The two were silent for a moment, then Chu Ran said softly, "I'm going home tomorrow to prepare for the wedding."
Chen Yuzhi looked at her, "Have you thought about it, do you really want to marry?"
"Marry. You also saw today how alert Zhan Junbai was, and he managed to avoid the explosion at such a short distance. Our only chance is this wedding gathering with dignitaries."
"I'm worried that Director Bai and Commander Zhan will be in the way. It will be difficult for you to reveal their true colors at the wedding." Although Chen Yuzhi said so, he also understands that even if they are full of worries, they will There is no other way to go.
The two looked at each other, and their eyes became firm again.
"put all one's eggs in one basket."
"burn one's boats."
For Jiangyuelou, and for the tens of thousands of people in Jingcheng.
Chu Ran returned home with a heavy heart, and saw many boxes in the house, all of which were dowry gifts from Zhan's family. Sun Fuzhi happily checked the contents of the boxes with the lists.
"Aran, come and have a look, this exhibitor is really generous. Look at this box, it's a big investment."
His father, Chu Qingming, interrupted Sun Fuzhi's tugging at Chu Ran, and said with a straight face, "It doesn't matter if it's money or not, it's true if you treat Ah Ran well."
Sun Fuzhi snorted: "Money is not important, so what is important? If you are capable, go drink the northwest wind every day."
Chu Qingming was choked, and found a step to go down: "However, Director Zhan still cares about Aran for being willing to give so much dowry."
Chu Ran pulled out her hand without a trace, and Sun Fuzhi didn't feel embarrassed, and said with a smile: "No wonder you want to divorce Chief Jin. It turns out that you fell in love with Director Zhan. We, Ran, have big ideas."
"This marriage is good, and I can be considered worthy of your mother."
Chu Ran forced a smile, greeted her father, and went back to her room without even looking at the betrothal gifts.
Chu Qingming looked at Chu Ran's back, "Ah Ran seems a little weird, not very happy. Could it be that she doesn't like this marriage?"
Sun Fuzhi hurriedly interrupted: "What do you like or not? She's just a little nervous before the wedding..."
After hearing these words, Chu Ran closed the door expressionlessly, sat in front of the dressing table, took out the photo of Jiang Yuelou from her wallet, and was in a daze.
"Your revenge, I will help you." She looked up at herself in the mirror, and a cold face was reflected.
She left, and Chen Yu was the only one left in the apartment. After thinking about it, he couldn't sit still, so he wanted to go to the hotel where Chu Ran was about to hold a wedding banquet to survey the terrain.
He just walked through the corridor and was about to go downstairs when he suddenly found a person standing in the corner, his figure was hidden in the shadows and his face could not be seen clearly.
At first he didn't pay attention, until he passed this person and took two steps forward, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, stopped and looked back.
The man had already stepped out of the shadows, and a face was gradually revealed. It turned out to be Jiang Yuelou who was recognized as dead!
Seeing Chen Yuzhi standing there in a daze, Jiang Yuelou looked in disbelief, the corners of his mouth turned upwards, and he greeted, "You're not welcome?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Yuzhi finally came to his senses. Without saying a word, he stepped forward and gave Jiang Yuelou a tight hug.
Jiang Yuelou's wound was hit by him, his body was slightly stiff, and a painful cry came out of his mouth. He noticed it immediately, let go of his hand in embarrassment, looked him up and down, and asked eagerly, "Are you all right?"
Jiang Yuelou pointed to Chu Ran's apartment, "It's said in the room."
When the two entered, Jiang Yuelou subconsciously glanced around.
Knowing his habits, Chen Yuzhi explained: "Chu Ran moved back home, and Yiren was sent to Hangzhou for an interview. There was no one else, so it was safe."
Jiang Yuelou nodded and sat down on the sofa.
"I thought you wouldn't be able to come back." Speaking of this, Chen Yuzhi felt hot eyes and tried hard to hold back his tears.
Jiang Yuelou didn't care about his ordeal, and smiled: "My fate is hard, and the king of Hades is hard to accept."
"I'm sorry." Chen Yuzhi looked guilty and apologized for his previous choice.
"You have already said that."
The two looked at each other and smiled, letting go of their suspicions.
After that, Jiang Yuelou told Chen Yuzhi how he escaped from the dead. It was indeed a coincidence that he fell from the cliff and was rescued by fishermen fishing downstream. The fisherman's son used to be a soldier, but he never came back after joining the army. The fisherman's wife took Jiang Yuelou as his son and took good care of him.
During the period, people sent by Zhan Junbai found the fishing village. Jiang Yuelou was afraid of hurting the fishermen and his wife, and worried about the situation of Jingcheng, so he endured the pain and returned to Jingcheng, and came to Chen Yuzhi immediately.
"New Year's Eve is coming soon, have you informed Director Bai of this information?" Time was running out, and he couldn't care about other things anymore.
Chen Yuzhi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slowly.
"It's too late, I'll go find him now." Jiang Yuelou said, getting up to leave.
Chen Yuzhi grabbed his arm: "Do you know why Zhan Junbai knew I was still alive and asked me to blackmail you?"
Jiang Yuelou guessed: "Did the people from Jinmatang find you?"
"It's Director Bai." Although Chen Yuzhi couldn't bear it, he still told the truth ruthlessly.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yuelou was a little puzzled by his words.
"Zhan Junbai recruited him, and he betrayed the news that you were an undercover agent and that I was alive."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuelou reacted very strongly, refusing to believe it, and said categorically, "This is impossible!"
"Besides him, only Chu Ran and you know that I'm still alive. Besides him, only Chu Ran and I know your plan."
Faced with the facts, Jiang Yuelou seemed to be shaken a little, showing hesitation: "How could it be..."
"Maybe, like me, I was threatened. The intention is not to harm you, but as a last resort."
"I'll go to him and ask him." Jiang Yuelou still insisted on going.
"In case he is really... you will be very dangerous."
"I have a measure."
Knowing that he couldn't be persuaded, Chen Yuzhi looked at the sky outside the window and suggested, "Wait until it gets dark. Now if you go to the police station, you won't be able to see him, and you may even be in danger."
Jiang Yuelou knew he was right, so he reluctantly agreed.
Chen Yuzhi looked at Jiang Yuelou's face, and asked cautiously, "If Director Bai really betrayed, what are you going to do?"
Jiang Yuelou was silent for a moment: "If it were someone else, I would do it. But I never thought it would be him."
Chen Yuzhi sighed. With Bai Jinbo and Jiang Yuelou's relationship for so many years, he also felt a little unreal. "Let's not discuss this first, think about the second plan. Chu Ran tried to tell Mayor Cai about the news of Zhan Junbai's rebellion, but was stopped by Commander Zhan. We are seriously short of manpower now. It is very difficult for us alone. It's hard to compete with the power of Uncle Zhan's nephew."
Jiang Yuelou thought: "We need reliable foreign aid."
"That's right, we want to go together. It's just that it's hard to find this candidate. It must have certain strength and be relatively reliable."
There are very few trustworthy people around them, and now it is such a dangerous situation, it is even more difficult. The two fell silent immediately.
After a while, Jiang Yuelou seemed to think of something, and looked up at Chen Yuzhi: "I have someone to choose, I can give it a try."
"Who?"
"Jin Dacheng."
"Him? I'm afraid it's not right." Chen Yuzhi had some prejudice against Jin Dacheng, "And he belongs to Director Bai."
"I have worked together for several years, and I still know him well. You can try it." After Jiang Yuelou finished speaking, he was going to talk to Jin Dacheng first.
Before leaving, he thought of something again, and asked back, "By the way, what happened to Keying? She wasn't... how did she fall into Zhan Junbai's hands?"
Speaking of this, Chen Yuzhi gritted his teeth. "It's Zhan Junbai's scheme. The child who died in your car was Ke Ying they found someone to pretend to be, and the purpose was to drive us apart."
"Zhan Junbai doesn't see human life at all." Jiang Yuelou punched the wall angrily.
"This time he still kept his promise. After I shot him, he returned Keying to me."
Hearing that Keying was safe, Jiang Yuelou felt relieved, "Then my shot is not in vain. Where is she now?"
"For safety's sake, I will foster Keying with Mr. Gao."
Jiang Yuelou was very relieved of Gao Yun, and couldn't help but said softly: "When everything is over, I will accompany you to pick her up."
Chen Yuzhi nodded, got up and walked towards the door, "I'll go to Chu's house, Chu Ran must be very happy to know that you are still alive."
Jiang Yuelou's expression paused, thinking that she liked him, it seemed a little unnatural, but he didn't object.
The two split up.
After Jin Dacheng finished his day's work, he walked home alone along the street, never expecting that someone was waiting for him in front of him.
When he passed an alley, he was suddenly pulled in, startled, and immediately drew his gun to defend. But his actions seemed to have been predicted by that person, he took the gun away first, and twisted his hand behind his back to control it.
Jin Dacheng panicked for a while, and bluffed: "I am from the police station, dare to touch me, do you want to get a wanted warrant from the police station?"
Jiang Yuelou watched him struggling amusedly, neither speaking nor responding.
Jin Dacheng struggled for a long time to no avail, and was so tired that he gave up on himself and said, "Brother, are you robbing money or sex? It's just a matter of talking. As for robbing money, I actually don't have much money. The salary of the police station is very low, of course , the end of the year is approaching, right? I can still give my brother some money for drinking. If it’s robbery, you probably won’t like me, brother. I’ll show you the way, the girl from Nuanxiang Pavilion is pretty good... "
His words became more and more outrageous, Jiang Yuelou was speechless for a while, and let go of his hand suddenly. Jin Dacheng lost his center of gravity and fell forward, staggered a step, turned his head unhappily after standing still, and saw that the person who came was actually Jiang Yuelou, he was so scared that he fell to the ground.
"Why... how is it you?"
Seeing his embarrassment, Jiang Yuelou waved happily: "Long time no see, Section Chief Jin."
Jin Dacheng got up quickly, took a few steps back cautiously, stared at him and said, "You murderous lunatic, what do you want to do?"
"Talk."
"I have nothing to talk to you about. I'm a policeman, and you're a prisoner." Jin Dacheng shook the corners of his clothes, looking upright.
Jiang Yuelou took a step closer to him, hooked his fingers and said, "Come and grab it."
But Jin Dacheng was afraid of the gun in his hand, so he didn't dare to go forward at all, he only dared to yell: "I warn you, Jiang Yuelou, the right way is to surrender to the police station as soon as possible, don't make the same mistakes again and again. "
"I haven't seen you in a while, and Section Chief Jin is still talking so much nonsense." Jiang Yuelou plucked out his ears, and handed him the gun back with disgust on his face.
Jin Dacheng took the gun suspiciously, and asked puzzledly, "What exactly do you want?"
"I said, let's talk."
"What are you talking about?"
Outside the alley, people pass by from time to time. Jiang Yuelou winked at Jin Dacheng, and the two walked into the alley together.
"How is Director Bai?" Jiang Yuelou asked in a low voice.
Jin Dacheng didn't understand what he meant, and replied blankly: "What else can I do, that's it."
"I mean, compared to before? Is there anything you find suspicious?"
Jin Dacheng looked at Jiang Yuelou in surprise: "You doubt Director Bai? You are a murderer, what right do you have to doubt the director of the police station, who gave you face."
"Yes or no?"
Jiang Yuelou ignored his accusation, and stared at him with a serious face, creating some invisible pressure on him. He recalled it carefully for a while, then nodded hesitantly, and said, "It seems to be different from before. By the way, he has gotten very close to Director Zhan recently."
Jiang Yuelou's expression froze, and he sighed heavily: "He really changed."
Jin Dacheng was puzzled, leaned over and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Director Bai is no longer the original Director Bai. Jin Dacheng, although you are sometimes a bit messy and like to mess around, you are not a person without a sense of justice."
Jin Dacheng shook his head quickly, and said solemnly: "What? A sense of justice? I don't have one."
"If you didn't, you wouldn't help save people in danger. I'm telling you seriously now that this is a matter of Jingcheng's life and death. You must cooperate with me."
Jin Dacheng looked at Jiang Yuelou in a daze, completely confused about the situation.
Jiang Yuelou roughly told him the whole story. He thought about it all night, but still couldn't believe it.
Bai Jinbo is a traitor, how is this possible
Coincidentally, Bai Jinbo called him to the office as soon as he got to work the next day, and returned his application form for gun replacement. He argued for a long time, but there was still no good result.
Before leaving, he heard the phone ringing on Bai Jinbo's desk, so he tiptoed and hid at the door of the office, eavesdropping on the movement inside.
He vaguely heard Bai Jinbo say: "Take care of your fiancée, if Commander Zhan and I hadn't arrived in time, Chu Ran would have revealed your actions to cause trouble to Mayor Cai!"
"I don't understand one thing. You clearly know what Chu Ran is thinking, so why would you marry her? This is a ticking time bomb. Although it has been temporarily pressed, it may cause trouble at any time."
He didn't know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but the content of the call to contact Bai Jinbo should undoubtedly be Zhan Junbai.
Jin Dacheng swallowed his saliva in disbelief, and immediately slipped away.
After get off work, he wanted to share this matter with Jiang Yuelou, but he didn't want to. Jiang Yuelou had already returned to the Bai mansion where he used to live, and chose to confront Bai Jinbo face to face.
It was already sunset at that time, the house was a little dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the floor next to the window through the window.
Bai Jinbo sensed something was wrong as soon as he entered the door, and he drew his gun neatly and pointed at a figure in the living room. He slowly walked over to check carefully, and there was an unexpected person sitting on the sofa.
"Yuelou?" Bai Jinbo yelled and then stopped, feeling complicated and anxious after the shock.
"Director Bai, I'm back." Jiang Yuelou was hidden in the darkness, her voice was calm, facing Bai Jinbo, she no longer had the intimacy of the past.
Bai Jinbo put down the gun, pressed the light switch, and the room became bright and warm. He pretended that everything was normal, walked up to Jiang Yuelou, and said joyfully, "It's good to be back, I thought..."
"Think I'm dead?" Jiang Yuelou interrupted mercilessly.
Bai Jinbo was taken aback for a moment, but continued on. "Since the last contact, you have been out of contact. I am very worried about you."
Jiang Yuelou smiled sadly: "Worried, you got very close to Director Zhan, want to find out my whereabouts?"
A trace of panic flashed in Bai Jinbo's eyes, and he hurriedly explained: "You misunderstood. Chu Ran came to me to help you deliver the news. I already know the identity of Zhan Junbai, and I made false claims with him because of our plan."
"Should I trust you?" Jiang Yuelou stood up calmly, stood face to face with Bai Jinbo, and looked straight into his eyes.
"Of course, we are the people who trust each other the most."
"Then why have you been on guard against me?" Jiang Yuelou said, looking at Bai Jinbo's hand: "Since you entered the door, your hand has been holding the gun."
Embarrassed, Bai Jinbo quickly put away the gun, and said with a smile, "I thought it was someone else, but I forgot to put it away."
At this moment, Jiang Yuelou reached out to get something from his clothes. Bai Jinbo felt guilty and misunderstood that he wanted to take a gun, so he drew the gun and pointed it at him almost at the same time. But who knows, Jiang Yuelou just took out a photo.
His actions have already explained everything.
"It seems that we don't need to continue acting." Only then did Jiang Yuelou completely believe in Bai Jinbo's betrayal.
"Yuelou, I have no other choice."
Jiang Yuelou ignored his excuses, and showed him the photo without fear under his gunpoint. It was a group photo of Xiao Jiangyuelou, Bai Jinbo, and Yang Siqi. Xiaojiangyuelou was snuggled up between them, and there was a birthday cake on the table.
"Remember this photo?"
Bai Jinbo was reminded of the past, slowly lowered his hand holding the gun, and nodded heavily.
That was the first birthday he celebrated for Jiang Yuelou after he adopted him. Children who have suffered from childhood don’t even know the meaning of blowing out candles, holding a knife and looking at the cake without knowing what to do. It was he and his wife who taught him how to do this. Besides, the first time he used a fountain pen, the first time he ate Western food, and the first time he secretly wore his police uniform... Jiang Yuelou's past is still fresh in his memory. .
"At that time, I was really happy. With you and Siqi, we are like a family..."
Seeing Bai Jinbo sinking into memories, Jiang Yuelou felt a little moved in his heart.
He heard Bai Jinbo continue to say: "Siqi and I have no children, and we have always regretted it until you came to the Bai Mansion, and we finally felt the joy of being parents. Yuelou, in my eyes, you are not only The subordinate of the police station is even more my son. These eight years are not fake. Every word I say to you is sincere."
"If you really regard me as a son in your eyes, I just want to ask, why did you abandon me and choose Zhan Junbai?" Jiang Yuelou struggled inwardly, and a look of pain finally appeared on his face.
Bai Jinbo had no way of explaining this result, so he could only smile sadly: "Yuelou, sometimes I have no choice. But if there is a second choice, I will not be willing to hurt you. Do you understand?"
Jiang Yuelou seemed to be convinced by his painful expression, and nodded slightly.
The two let go of their previous suspicions, and naturally took a step forward, and a father-son hug came.
"Thank you." Bai Jinbo choked up.
"It's me who should say thank you. Thank you for taking care of me for so many years."
The two let go of each other, Bai Jinbo's eyes fell on the photo again, took it over and looked at it carefully, and said, "There is a photo frame in the study."
Jiang Yuelou immediately realized: "I'll get it." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the stairs.
Bai Jinbo stood still, looked at the photo again with complicated emotions, closed his eyes, sighed slightly, and finally chose to raise his hand, pointed the gun at Jiang Yuelou's back, and pulled the trigger.
Just as Jiang Yuelou relaxed, he felt something strange behind him. He quickly dodged the bullet, turned around, drew his gun, and fired in one go.
Bai Jinbo was shot in the chest, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground. He stood up for a while, and finally squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying at Jiangyuelou, "Alright, I can see Siqi now." As he said that, he couldn't hold on anymore, and fell down shaking.
Jiang Yuelou strode forward to support his body. He looked at his resolute and upright face, and left his last words: "I am not worthy to be your father, nor your superior. I'm sorry..."
Bai Jinbo slowly closed his eyes and swallowed his last breath.
Jiang Yuelou looked at Bai Jinbo's body with tears in his eyes, feeling extremely painful. He reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth carefully with his sleeve, laid him flat on the ground, took back the photo he had always cherished, and said goodbye softly: "I'm sorry, Master, have a good journey."
