Pei Shu stayed in the Independent State of Thailand for four days.
In the past four days, according to Chen Boqiao's intention, together with the advisers left by Chen Zhaoyan, he contacted the prime minister and several important members of Congress, faked new identities for the four personnel, and arranged to board the ship.
The cruise ship that Zhang Jue and Chen Boqiao will take is registered in South Australia. It will travel from the Independent State of Thailand to North America and will not pass through the waters of the Asian Union. According to international law, the Asian Union has no right to hunt down Chen Boqiao.
However, the current president of the Asian Union, Zhao Kun, is very domineering. His parents' family has deep roots. His father was the prime minister of the alliance, and there are many relatives who have held high positions in the alliance government. The matrilineal family is a business giant that has lasted for generations. . Since his administration, Zhao Kun has had a smooth journey and has hardly encountered any obstacles.
This time, in order to hunt down Chen Boqiao, Zhao Kun was almost reckless. As long as he gave him a clue, he would definitely take action.
After the cruise ship entered the high seas, one evening near the waters of the Asian Union, Zhao Kun would get the location information of Chen Boqiao, and one of the four people who Pei Shu arranged to board the ship happened to take his girlfriend to North America. The soldiers will be bought by Zhao Kun's cronies with a lot of money. At midnight, the captain is very intimidated to turn the cruise ship, so that the ship enters the territorial waters of the Asian Union in the early morning.
After Chen Boqiao was brought back to the Asian Union, the cruise ship that happened to turn around at midnight, the mercenary who happened to disappear, and the appeal period that happened to be missed will all make Chen Boqiao's defection and the Asian Union's pursuit of him become Zhao Kun's self-confidence. Directed by himself.
When public opinion ferments, members of Congress will launch an impeachment motion against Zhao Kun. If there is no accident, Zhao Kun's presidency will be temporarily frozen within three days of the motion being launched.
In the afternoon two days before leaving, Pei Shu met the four people who were going to board the ship, sent an encrypted confirmation message to Chen Boqiao, and asked Chen Boqiao if it was inconvenient to meet again, because of the plan. Details, and some important matters, are inconvenient to communicate with the contact tool.
After a few minutes, Chen Boqiao called him.
Chen Boqiao asked Pei Shu, "Are you still in Bangkok?"
Pei Shu said yes, Chen Boqiao thought about it and said, "Come to my place, he's not here during the day."
He told Pei Shu the location of the safe house, and Pei Shu entered the address into the navigation and drove to a densely populated area with complicated roads in the south of Bangkok.
Pei Shu changed two cars along the way, drove a few more circles, and drove for an hour before stopping at the entrance of the alley.
He walked into the alley, and according to the building number given by Chen Boqiao, he finally found the residential building, climbed the stairs to the third floor, and knocked on the door. It didn't take long for Chen Boqiao to answer the door.
Pei Shu walked in with him and asked casually, "Where's Zhang Jueren?"
"Go to familiarize yourself with the route to the port." Chen Boqiao said, then walked to the sofa, leaned over slightly and poured a cup of tea for Pei Shu.
The house is small, but fairly clean. The old floor tiles are decorated with the local style of the independent country of Thailand. Under the fluorescent lamp, there is a layer of soft light.
Pei Shu looked around, walked to the door on the right, looked in, and asked Chen Boqiao, "Single bedroom?"
Chen Boqiao nodded, and Pei Shu glanced at the sofa again.
The sofa was flat, and there was no bedding. It didn't look like anyone had slept in before. Pei Shu was a bit speechless. He paused and asked Chen Boqiao, "How did you sleep at night?" Even if you sleep on the floor, you should sleep in the bedroom."
Chen Boqiao was silent for a moment before saying, "You misunderstood Zhang Jue a lot."
"It's not a misunderstanding," Pei said.
He likes to play more than Chen Boqiao and has much more experience. As soon as he sees a lingering suitor like Zhang Jue, he wants to persuade Chen Boqiao to stay away as a comer: "I have met such a person before. ."
Chen Boqiao raised his eyes to look at him, but said nothing, Pei Shu continued: "Wherever you go, you are like cowhide candy, and you have a thick skin, so you can't go away after being scolded. Finally, he was taken by his family to see a doctor and disappeared. "
Thinking of Zhang Jue's medical records, he added, "Zhang Jue is more serious—"
"—Pei Shu," Chen Boqiao interrupted him suddenly.
Chen Boqiao looked at Pei Shu flatly, and said in a flat tone, "Let's get down to business."
Pei Shu couldn't see whether Chen Boqiao simply didn't want to talk about Zhang Jue, or felt that he was talking too much. He paused for a few seconds and said uncertainly, "Okay." He took out his mobile computer and gave it to him. Chen Boqiao briefly introduced the information of the four people on board and the news trends of the Asian League in the past few days.
Chen Boqiao asked questions from time to time, and the questions were a bit complicated. Pei Shude discussed with several consultants online, and the time passed quickly.
There was a shower in Bangkok that day, and there was a rustling from time to time outside, and the wind blew the balcony glass.
Just when the consultant wanted to tell them the result of a discussion, Chen Boqiao's cell phone rang, it should be Zhang Jue.
Chen Bo bridged up and asked patiently, "What?"
"He's here. I've eaten," Chen Boqiao said. "Where are you."
I don't know what the other side said, but Chen Boqiao gave a "hmm" and said, "No wonder it's so noisy." Then he asked, "Have you tipped today?" After a few seconds, he said, "Okay."
Pei Shu looked at Chen Boqiao and felt something was wrong in his heart.
However, the tone of Chen Boqiao and Zhang Jue's conversation was very natural, and their attitude was between indifferent and considerate, and it seemed that there was not much difference between them.
Chen Boqiao hung up the phone and looked at Pei Shu, who was stunned for a moment and continued the topic just now.
After talking for a while, Pei Shu was thirsty, but he had finished drinking the water in his glass and the mineral water bottle was empty, so he asked Chen Boqiao, "Is there any more water?"
Chen Boqiao lowered his head to memorize the information, and pointed to the kitchen without raising his head: "Go and pour it yourself."
Pei Shu had to get up and walk into the kitchen.
Due to the limited area, the layout of the kitchen is general, narrow and long, and can only be passed by an adult man.
There was no food on the dark marble countertop, and Chen Boqiao didn't say where the water was. Pei Shu only opened the cupboard to look around.
When he opened a deep drawer near the induction cooker, Pei Shu saw the box of condoms on the tissue at a glance.
The box of the condom is purple, probably from a local brand in the Independent Kingdom of Thailand, and the printing is a bit rough.
The condoms came in three packs, but they were still unopened. Pei Shu repeatedly fiddled with the condom box, thinking it was a bit funny. Zhang Jue had a weird personality.
"If you want, you can take it with you."
Chen Boqiao's voice sounded from not far away.
Pei Shu was slightly startled, turned his head, saw Chen Boqiao leaning against the door, raised his chin slightly, and looked at him with his arms folded: "The water is in the northernmost cabinet."
Pei Shu put down the box in embarrassment, opened the cabinet pointed to by Chen Boqiao, and found a water bottle and poured water.
Just as he was about to go out, Chen Boqiao stopped him and explained to Zhang Jue without any change in his expression: "He went to the supermarket, and some volunteers stuffed it for him."
Pei Shu grabbed the water glass and said bluntly, "Who knows if someone else gave it to him or he asked for it himself."
Chen Boqiao glanced at him and said gently, "Put your prejudice aside."
Pei Shu shrugged, sat back on the sofa with Chen Boqiao, and re-talked about Chen Boqiao's return to the Asian League.
After Zhao Kun's people detained Chen Boqiao, in order to ensure the safety of Chen Boqiao, the news of Chen Boqiao's arrest must be announced as soon as possible, so there is also a reporter from the independent country of Thailand on the cruise. Chen Boqiao and the advisory group had different opinions on the way reporters issued press releases. After a few minutes of discussion, they reached a consensus.
Pei Shu closed the reporter's information page, raised his head, and suddenly there was a thunderstorm in the sky, and the rain slammed on the window.
"It's raining so hard." Pei Shu said.
Chen Boqiao stood up, walked to the balcony, and opened the screen a little, as if to observe the rain.
After Pei Shu had finished saying what he had to say, he put down the computer and followed, half an arm away from Chen Boqiao, listening to the sound of rain through the rain curtain and looking out the glass door.
The balcony of the safe house that Zhang Jue was looking for was also very small. There seemed to be something on the lime board of the railing. Pei Shu took a closer look and found that it was a match and cigarette case that had been soaked in rain.
He asked casually, "Has Zhang Jue quit smoking?"
Chen Boqiao didn't look at him, just stared outside and said, "You scared me to quit."
"Did I scare him?" Pei Shu laughed, and he asked Chen Boqiao, "Don't you bother with this?" He still remembered the large cluster of cigarette butts in the ashtray by the swimming pool, which was quite addictive at first sight. of.
"Smoke is so easy to quit," Pei Shu said again, "I'll lie to you."
Only then did Chen Boqiao give Pei Shu a look, and just as he opened his mouth to say something, the door lock behind them suddenly clicked.
Pei Shu and Chen Boqiao turned to look together, only to see Zhang Jue standing outside the door clutching the doorknob.
Zhang Jue was soaked all over his body, his black hair was sticking to his face, the ends of his hair dripping with water, a light-colored cotton T-shirt was glued to his body, his bare arms were as white as porcelain, his lips were pursed, his chin was slashed. Pointy, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
Seven or eight roses were tied together, the beige wrapping paper was a little wrinkled by the rain, and the flowers were soaked in water, but they became more and more red.
Seeing that there were other people in the room, he was stunned for a while, and asked Chen Boqiao in a low voice, "Are you still talking?" Then he said, "Do you want me to wait outside first?"
"It's over." Chen Boqiao said. After a pause, he asked Zhang Jue, "Why is it raining?"
"I bought you flowers," Zhang Jue raised his head slightly and raised his hand to show Chen Boqiao the rose in his hand.
Pei Shu used to think that Zhang Jue's appearance was very ordinary, and he couldn't find it in the crowd, but today, when he looked closely, he felt that it was not like that.
But Zhang Jue was really not good at making expressions. Even when he was giving things away, he couldn't smile. He looked like he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. I stopped the car and walked over, and it rained after a few steps."
One of the roses in the bouquet bloomed, and with his movements, a few petals fell off, falling on the ground and on his shoes.
Chen Boqiao turned his back to Pei Shu, but did not approach Zhang Jue, he just said to Zhang Jue, "Thank you."
Zhang Jue didn't ask Chen Boqiao whether he liked it or not, he said "um", then stood blankly, neither entering nor closing the door.
"Come in." Chen Boqiao said to Zhang Jue again.
Zhang Jue just woke up from a dream, and when he passed Pei Shu, the water on his chin was still dripping.
It made Pei Shu guess that the flower shop where Zhang Jue went should have to walk a short distance.
"I'll take a shower first." Zhang Jue leaned over and put the flower on the coffee table and walked into the bathroom.
After a while, the sound of water came from the bathroom.
Chen Boqiao looked at the bathroom door, stood for a few seconds, then turned to ask Pei Shu, "Is there anything else?"
Pei Shu had to pack up and leave.
