There was not much traffic in the cinema in the afternoon, and the movie still had 10 minutes to check tickets.
Chen Qizhao hung up the phone, and when he opened the call record, his hand stopped.
When Shen Yuhuai came out with popcorn, he saw Chen Qizhao standing outside the crowd, as if looking at something on his phone.
After he got closer, he saw that Chen Qizhao was looking at the call list, and could vaguely see several repeated names, "Can't find the number?"
"No." Chen Qizhao recovered and turned off the phone, "Just finished the call."
The contact with friends is usually by playing the vx voice directly, and the communication through the mobile phone is usually important calls. In the past, his call list was all unremarked numbers, but now the phone calls from family members are intertwined. The day before yesterday, Chen Jianhong also I called him and asked him if he wanted a brighter place in his office.
A long time ago, Chen Shiming didn't have to call once a week, but now he can occasionally call twice a day.
Not to mention Chen Jianhong, in the past, everything was conveyed through Zhang Yazhi or his assistant, and there were only a handful of times he took the initiative to call him.
This feeling is strange, a little annoying, but not annoying.
Shen Yuhuai found an empty seat and waited for the time to check the ticket, during which he noticed that Chen Qizhao turned on his mobile phone several times.
It's like I'm about to make a call, but I just swipe the call list and turn it off, and my mood looks much better.
He didn't say a word. When he came over from the school, he often noticed that Chen Qizhao was looking at his phone, and his expression seemed to be a little serious all the time. Although it is well concealed, some concern and anxiety are difficult to hide.
It doesn't seem to be there now, it looks like a distraction.
Chen Qizhao opened the vx and sent a message to Xu Tezhu, asking if they had returned to the company.
Xu Tesuke took a minute to reply, saying that he was on his way back.
It shouldn't be a long distance from the police station back to the company, about fifteen minutes away.
It has only been two and a half hours since he learned of the situation. Chen Shiming has already arranged other things properly. He knows his elder brother Chen Shiming's ability. As long as the other party has the main clues, certain things can always be under his control.
... Chen Shiming has always been so good.
Chen Qizhao turned off the vx background after reading the news, and when he looked up, he noticed that Shen Yuhuai was looking at him.
He stopped and asked, "Have you checked the ticket?"
"It should be possible to enter now." Shen Yuhuai's eyes swept to the ticket gate, the ticket inspector was already helping others cut tickets, "Are you in a good mood?"
Chen Qizhao was stunned for a moment, and quickly picked up the popcorn on the table, "Yeah."
After he finished speaking, he added: "I suddenly discovered some things, and it seems that I don't have to do it."
Some things don't have to be arranged by him, and his family can protect themselves well.
There are two more people in front of the ticket office, it's their turn.
When Chen Qizhao handed the ticket to the ticket inspector, the other party glanced at him and Shen Yuhuai more, and quickly cut it and handed it to him, "Turn left to Hall 6."
The corridor inside the cinema was quiet. Chen Qizhao was holding the stub of the movie ticket and sweating a little after realizing it.
In the afternoon, Shen Yuhuai was on vacation. After the two came out of the institute, the other party suggested whether to go to a movie or not, and he agreed.
And now, these two movie tickets are a bit hot.
"Hall 6 is here." Shen Yuhuai stopped and looked at the person who had walked four steps away.
Chen Qizhao snorted, turned around and walked into Hall 6.
There were not many people watching the movie in the afternoon. After entering, only scattered people were seen. Chen Qizhao glanced at the seats on the movie ticket, and suddenly found that the ticket he bought was actually in the last row. The tickets were bought by Shen Yuhuai. There were three rows of seats in the back, a man and a woman were sitting in the middle of the front row, and there were still several viewing seats with excellent viewing angles.
It looks empty, either in two or two, or alone, in some corners.
However, Shen Yuhuai took the lead in walking into the last row. Seeing that Chen Qizhao was standing still, he said, "Row 9, seats 7 and 8 are here."
As soon as Chen Qizhao sat down, he heard the young couple in the front row slanting to the left whispering.
The woman asked, "Why didn't you buy a couple's hall!"
"The couple's hall doesn't open in the afternoon, it's fine, this seat is fine." The man glanced back at the back row, and immediately retracted his gaze after noticing Chen Qizhao, "I originally wanted to buy the latter one, but who knows that there will be people grabbing the last one in the afternoon. Row."
After Chen Qizhao heard this, he couldn't help but look at Shen Yuhuai next to him.
The screen of Shen Yuhuai's mobile phone was lit, and it seemed to be the movie introduction of the movie. Everything seemed to be a coincidence, but not a coincidence.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yuhuai looked at him.
Chen Qizhao came back to his senses, "No."
He was a little unsure, shouldn't they really be watching the movie
Before the movie starts, the screen goes dark and the sound of commercials is everywhere.
The suddenly dark environment made the atmosphere of the movie theater come right away. Chen Qizhao hadn't seen a movie for many years, and the most impressive movie watching should have been during college. Later, things gradually became more and more. hourly shift. During the break, I went to many cafes or leisure places in S city with Shen Yuhuai, but it seemed that this was the first time watching a movie.
Watching a movie in the last row is really uncomfortable. Looking at it from a lower angle, my neck is always a little awkward.
He wanted to concentrate on watching the movie as much as possible, but he was quickly struck by the extreme embarrassment of the plot. This movie is a love movie in the guise of survival on a desert island. No matter how outrageous a love movie is, it should be expanded based on the theme, but The male protagonist in this film can use up all the firewood at night to create a comfortable residence for the female protagonist, and waste most of the plot to pick brightly colored wild fruits. After picking them up, he says that he cannot eat them just to make the female protagonist happy. …
The logic of the plot collapsed and Chen Qizhao couldn't stand it anymore. He looked away several times and saw Shen Yuhuai looking at the movie screen calmly and calmly, and the light of the screen was still reflected in his glasses. He could only look back, thinking about this. Is there anything good about the plot
After watching for a minute, Chen Qizhao looked slightly sideways at Shen Yuhuai.
The opponent's hand was naturally placed on the armrest, and other corners could not be seen clearly in the dark, only the opponent's white hand when the screen light passed by. The two of them had kissed and held hands many times. Chen Qizhao saw Shen Yuhuai's hand now, and his heartbeat was always uncontrollable.
The movie transitions, and the deafening sound drowns out the other sounds.
Chen Qizhao turned his eyes back, and his hand touched it, and in the darkness, he touched Shen Yuhuai's joints. There was no other reaction on the other side, like he didn't notice his movements, and his attention was all on the movie.
When the fingers are bent, the knuckles are actually very obvious.
Chen Qizhao carelessly touched Shen Yuhuai's hand, learned the other's previous movements to rub the other's joints, felt the clearer and clearer touch under his fingers, and became more daring when the other party had no extra movements, and finally covered Shen Yuhuai's hand with him. Fingers intertwined.
In the dark, certain behaviors are tolerated.
Shen Yuhuai didn't move, but his eyes moved from the screen to the armrest, and finally stopped on the boy's side face.
The nails that have not been trimmed recently are a bit long, and the feeling of scraping on the sides of the fingers is very obvious.
Like ten fingers connected to the heart, the numb and itchy feeling spread little by little.
Chen Qizhao's eyes seemed to stay on the screen, but the movements on his hands became unscrupulous as time went on, and the behaviors that no one stopped grew wantonly. Little by little, I stepped on the edge of a certain rationality to test it.
Just when Chen Qizhao was about to withdraw his hand, the large palm that had been calm for a long time suddenly covered him.
The two people's arms rubbed together, and the contact between the skin and epidermis became more and more obvious. Even if the person's movements were more rigid for a long time, they perfectly reproduced all the movements of Chen Qizhao just now. In Chen Qizhao's faster and faster heartbeat, he slowed down to hook him. finger.
Chen Qizhao looked sideways, where Shen Yuhuai was watching a movie, he was clearly watching him.
"Don't watch movies anymore?" Chen Qizhao asked.
"Well." In the darkness, the man's voice was a little hoarse, "Come closer."
Shen Yuhuai held Chen Qizhao's wrist, led the person to his side, and held the other hand on the back of the other's neck, kissed the tip of Chen Qizhao's nose, moved down a little, and finally opened his lips and teeth.
Chen Qizhao pressed his hands on the armrests of the seats on both sides. For the first time, he felt that the thing stuck in the middle was a little in the way.
As he was thinking, he suddenly noticed that Shen Yuhuai's hand moved down his neck, just like when he was in the room in the morning, down his spine. In summer, clothes are already thin, and the air conditioner in the cinema is useless. When his heartbeat gradually accelerated, Chen Qizhao couldn't help but swept to the young couple in the front row.
A movie lasted for nearly two hours, and while the movie was on, people in the front row kept standing up and leaving.
Bad movies really kill time, no one wants to waste time in it.
When all the lights came on, the young couple in the front row suddenly let go of their voices.
The woman leaned on the man, "Everyone is gone, this movie is really ugly."
The man said: "It's hard to grab a good-looking seat. Next time I'll buy a couple's hall."
The two stood up while talking, and when they swept to the back row, their movements suddenly stopped, as if they didn't expect there were people in the back seat.
Shen Yuhuai didn't look at anyone, and when he stood up from his seat, he reached out and pulled Chen Qizhao.
Chen Qizhao raised the back of his hand and wiped his lower lip slightly, ignoring their gaze, and followed Shen Yuhuai out of the theater.

When the news from City S reached City B, Gu Zhengsong hung up the phone with a dark face. The document in front of him was the evidence that Gu Zhengxun had submitted to the police again. At noon, he was summoned by the police for questioning.
Gu Zhengxun has done too many things. Recently, he has been chasing his industry to start. He used to restrain his actions, but now he is doing it on the bright side. He didn't know where Gu Zhengxun got the news and he knew so many things. Since some of the hidden piles were exposed, he has thoroughly investigated his subordinates, but he has not found any suspicious subordinates after completely eliminating them, as if Gu Zhengxun knew the news out of thin air.
Gu Zhengsong had anticipated such a guess a long time ago, but now the limited situation makes it impossible for him to start with this guess. In the past, Gu Zhengxun was in the light, but he was in the dark. Now this situation is completely reversed. In order to protect himself, he has given up too many things. If Gu Zhengxun is not stopped, it is very likely that he will be completely dragged down by this situation.
"Gu Zhengxun's actions are very fast. With his contacts in the capital, he can escort the Chen and Chen families from the capital. They checked carefully, but we have destroyed all relevant information... The summons are summons, and they can't do anything at the moment. Crucify us." The confidant continued, "Except for Young Master Gu."
Gu Zhengsong glanced at him when he heard the words, and said in a serious tone, "What do you mean?"
"We have received some news. Before the failure of this operation, there was some news from S City, which was not very good." The confidant carefully looked at Gu Zhengsong's expression, and only went on after confirming that there was no problem: "The suburban factory is over there. Although the matter was passed on to Young Master Gu, and other evidence was also destroyed by us... But we can't guarantee that there is nothing left on Young Master Gu's side."
The confidant continued: "Some news has come out from Young Master Gu, which is related to the manufacturing plant. Those lines that we secretly connect overseas may be from Young Master Gu... If Young Master Gu has any action, it may be difficult for us to guard against it."
"What do you mean, Gu Shen intends to provide clues to the police?" Gu Zhengsong frowned slightly, "Didn't you control the people on Gu Shen's side? As long as he doesn't receive the news."
"We did receive this news." The confidant lowered his head and said: "The failure of this operation seems to deepen the suspicion of Gu Shao's people. It is very likely that Gu Shao has already received the news, and this operation failed. , it is possible that he provided clues to the police in advance."
Gu Zhengsong fell silent after hearing this, frowning tightly, as if thinking about something.
He had prepared for this in advance, and he knew the risk that Gu Shen's people might be exposed, but he didn't expect that when they instigated Gu Shen's people to act, the police would immediately do a counter ambush.
"But the news is not necessarily true. We have no way to collect evidence here. It is also possible that the police have found the relevant personnel on Mr. Gu's side and made an ambush in advance."
The confidants watched Gu Zhengsong's expression getting darker and darker. They didn't believe it when they received the news that 'Gu Shen might provide clues to the police', but the situation in S City was too complicated, and they didn't want Gu Shen's people to follow him. Gu Shen's too many contacts exposed the plan... As the news came out, the failure to ambush Chen Shiming seemed to confirm the possibility of this matter even more.
Gu Zhengxun's actions were illogical. The Chen and Chen families investigated more things than expected. Gu Shen may have provided some clues to the police without them knowing. If this was true, it would be fatal to them.
The confidant told all the news and waited for Gu Zhengsong's order.
After a long time, Gu Zhengsong said, "It is indeed a hidden danger to keep Gu Shen."
The confidant stopped when he heard the words, and then heard the cold and ruthless words of the boss—
"Since it is a hidden danger, then take some risks, at least not to let the fire burn to our side."
At 8:30 in the evening, the lights in the Chen family's villa were brightly lit, and the three of the Chen family had already finished their meal.
Chen Jianhong looked out of the restaurant, the floor-to-ceiling windows were quiet, and no vehicles came in.
He looked at Zhang Yazhi and asked, "Xiao Zhao is not coming back today?"
Zhang Yazhi: "He was eating out at night, so he should be back soon."
It was dark and it was already ten o'clock when Chen Qizhao got home. He got off the car at the door. When he got in, he looked up at the location of the study on the second floor, and unexpectedly found that the study was dark tonight.
When entering the room, Chen Qizhao saw three people sitting in the living room. Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming, who have always been known as workaholics, were sitting on the sofa. There were several documents on the table, and Zhang Yazhi's favorite TV series was playing on the TV.
Noticing the sound, the two people who were talking about work followed the sound.
Chen Jianhong looked at him, "Are you back?"
"Yeah." Chen Qizhao responded and walked to the empty seat on the sofa to sit down.
Seeing him coming, Zhang Yazhi glanced at him, and quickly moved closer with the tablet in his hand, "Look at this, do you like this style of cake?"
Chen Qizhao saw that there were several styles of cakes on the tablet. Judging from the progress bar, there seemed to be a lot more to come. He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The third one looks better."
The birthday party will be in a few days. Zhang Yazhi is very concerned about it. Today, she is busy preparing for the birthday party all day.
Coming in from the outside, Chen Qizhao noticed that the garden on the left seems to have been refurbished today, and the flowers in the outer row have been changed several times.
After talking to Zhang Yazhi, Chen Qizhao's eyes stayed on Chen Shiming's body for a while, and quickly looked at the documents on the desktop, which looked like working documents on the surface.
"Come back so late?" Chen Shiming asked, "Didn't you watch the movie in the afternoon?"
Chen Qizhao said casually: "After watching the movie in the afternoon, go to dinner in the evening."
Chen Shiming asked again, "With Shen Yuhuai?"
Chen Qizhao was puzzled: "Otherwise?"
Chen Shiming: "Is the movie good?"
After asking, he noticed a strange look on Chen Qizhao's face.
After the meeting, Chen Qizhao said, "Not bad."
Seeing Chen Qizhao's attitude, Chen Shiming thought of Xu's evaluation of the bad movie that afternoon, and took his eyes back a little. Does Chen Qizhao like the female star of that movie? What's your name? It seems to be called Jiang Youyou
The sound of the TV series was not loud, but it overshadowed the brief and awkward atmosphere in the living room.
Chen Qizhao was wondering if he should go back to the room, when he suddenly noticed that Chen Jianhong was looking at him from a distance.
The man was still wearing a shirt, his wrists were slightly rolled up, and he was holding a half-turned-over work document. In Chen Qizhao's memory, Chen Jianhong is a person who prefers quietness, and prefers to stay in a quiet study room when dealing with work. A noisy living room with a TV set will not be his best choice.
When their eyes met, Chen Qizhao dismissed the idea of leaving, and the next second Chen Jianhong spoke.
Chen Jianhong: "Have you taken the medicine?"
Chen Qizhao didn't expect Chen Jianhong to ask this, and replied, "I eat at seven o'clock."
Zhang Yazhi sat next to Chen Qizhao and said naturally, "your dad said yesterday that he would like to take a few days off when he is free in August and September."
Chen Qizhao was stunned when he heard the words, "Vacation?"
Zhang Yazhi said in a gentle voice, "Your dad said that when the work at this stage is finished, the matter at the Gu family's side is settled, and our family will find a place to travel."
People's ideas change little by little with age. When I was young, I hoped that my parents and elder brothers could always be by my side, and when I was young, I hoped that everyone at the dinner table at home would be full. Traveling is a long time ago. He did have the idea of going on a trip with his family, but he would never be free from his busy work. Now he has long passed the age where he longs for his family to accompany him to travel. Compared with traveling, he hopes that his family will pay more attention to their health and work less overtime.
Chen Qizhao said after the meeting, "There's no need to stay up late and work overtime just to travel."
After he finished speaking, noticing his tone, he was about to change his words euphemistically.
Chen Jianhong said: "September is the off-season, and the business is not so busy, so there is no need to work overtime."
Chen Qizhao retracted his gaze: "That's good."
"Yeah." Chen Jianhong's brows and eyes loosened a little, and he seemed to be less serious than usual. He looked at Chen Shiming: "Shiming, what did you just say?"
Zhang Yazhi talked about where she wanted to travel for a while, and then she was attracted by the plot on TV.
Chen Qizhao didn't speak, the lively voices were all around, and it felt like a family watching TV together. He couldn't tell where this strange atmosphere came from, but this lively atmosphere gave him a real sense of being in it.
The TV in the living room is large, and the marble in the background is magnificent.
In the small apartment in my memory, there is a half-sized TV hanging on the wall. There are photo albums on the cabinet to the left of the TV. In the cramped space, there is a home that no longer exists. It gradually expands and is finally filled with lively sounds.
He should realize that everything is different now.
Chen Qizhao shrank his feet and leaned back against the sofa, not knowing what to do with the excitement.
"Is the air conditioner too cold?" Zhang Yazhi looked at him.
Chen Qizhao said: "No, just a little sore feet."
Zhang Yazhi smiled: "That should be because I have walked too much today."
"That should be." Chen Qizhao lowered his eyes, opened his phone and sent a message to Shen Yuhuai.
After doing this, he hesitated for a while, and finally took a picture of the TV that was playing.
After staying on the vx interface for a while, he posted the photo and posted a circle of friends.
The housekeeper brought Chinese medicine, and the dark medicine exuded a bitter taste.
Chen Qizhao's eyes stopped on the medicine for a while, and he didn't really want to drink it.
Uncle Zhang said: "Madam, the chef said that he would confirm with you about the birthday banquet menu."
"I almost forgot about this, has the chef rested?"
Zhang Yazhi put down the tablet, "Xiao Zhao, don't let the Chinese medicine get cold, remember to drink the medicine before I come back."
When Chen Qizhao stopped, he had to answer.
The two people who were talking about work selectively ignored the lively TV series. The documents on the desktop were turned over one by one, and the matter of discussion gradually shifted from work to Gu's family. The Chen family and the Shen family had long anticipated the ambush of Chen Shiming today. The police took this opportunity to follow the clues and continue to intervene in the matter of the Gu family. They did not talk about the ambush in front of Zhang Yazhi.
After the police began to be on alert, the outside of the Chen family villa was also increased, and some security guards were added in the villa.
"Gu Zhengsong should have some actions in the near future, Gu Zhengxun is too tight, there may be other actions besides the noon incident." Chen Shiming's face was a little serious, "I have been paying attention to their movements recently, Xiao Xu in the afternoon. When sending me the news, I heard a little news, it seems that someone is spreading the news, saying that Gu Shen has confessed."
Chen Jianhong frowned when he heard the words, whether Gu Shen confessed to them most clearly, Gu Shen is more stubborn than they thought, denying all charges, and has not explained anything so far, "Who spread these things out?"
This news is not of much substantive use to them, most of which are rumors derived from tension in the form.
"It doesn't affect us too much at the moment." Chen Shiming said halfway, when a voice suddenly spoke beside him.
"That will have a big impact on Gu Zhengsong." Chen Qizhao crossed his legs, drinking the traditional Chinese medicine brought by the housekeeper Zhang Shu, and said casually: "In the current situation, it is impossible for Gu Shen not to know that he is difficult to protect... But now he is still tight-lipped, so I'm afraid he still has evidence that we don't know. Gu Zhengsong has put all the blame on Gu Shen, so why can he still use a knife to kill people and let Gu Shen's people deal with us? "
Chen Jianhong looked at Chen Qizhao, "Gu Shen's people may not know the truth."
"The progress of the police's investigation will not be announced until it is confirmed. There are real and fake news out there. No matter whether Gu Shen's people are loyal or not, the desperadoes will not believe in some real news. They firmly believe that what they hear is false. It seems that the only one they can rely on is Gu Zhengsong. And now Gu Zhengsong is still covering up the news..."
Chen Qizhao drank halfway, swallowed the bitter water, and continued: "The Gu family's father and son will do whatever they can for their own interests. Gu Zhengsong can blame Gu Shen, and Gu Shen may also drag Gu Zhengsong into the water."
Just as Chen Shiming was about to speak, Chen Jianhong waved his hand and looked at Chen Qizhao, "Then what?"
"If at this time, the news of the ambush of the Chen family or the failure of the Shen family comes back to Zhengsong's ears, plus Gu Zhengxun has been chasing and beating him during this time, and there are rumors of Gu Shen's confession outside... Do you think Gu Zhengsong would believe it? ?"
Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming immediately noticed the information here, Gu Zhengsong would believe it, and suspicious people would not let go of any possibility, especially the possibility that threatened their existence.
Chen Qizhao said again, what he said confirmed the speculation of the Chen family: "The crime has been pushed aside, anyway, Gu Shen will be gone sooner or later. If I am Gu Zhengsong, if Gu Shen may expose me, then I will take the risk. kill him."
Chen Shiming looked at Chen Qizhao closely, "How do you know this?"
"I don't know." Chen Qizhao noticed that Zhang Yazhi came back from a busy job in the distance. He put the medicine bowl on the table and said in a flat tone, "I just want to make a suggestion."
"Staring at Gu Shen, you may find something interesting."
--------------------
The author has something to say:
Xiao Chen: It doesn't seem to matter.
Xiao Chen: I still want to take care of it.
Xiao Chen: I don't know anything, so I'll make a suggestion.
