In the taxi, Chen Xian kept staring at Mu He with a dark face.
Judging from that unfriendly expression, he should be very angry. After all, the people he is going to meet here are all from the Bureau of Secrets, and he does not want the Bureau of Secrets to have too much contact with Muhe from the bottom of his heart. associated with.
"Why are you so disobedient..." Chen Xian sighed, his eyes were like those of children whose parents don't understand, wanting to get angry but had to hold back.
Mu He also seemed to realize that Chen Xian was not very happy. Although she kept tilting her head and pretending to look at the scenery outside the window, she still secretly glanced at Chen Xian from time to time. She couldn't help but change her cheerful expression. He felt aggrieved, as if he didn't understand why Chen Xian was so angry.
"Chen Xian..." Like a child begging for forgiveness from his parents, Mu He gently tugged on Chen Xian's wrist, looking at him pitifully, "I want... to go out... you are not... happy..."
"It's not a question of whether Gao is happy or not." Chen Xian said helplessly. He wanted to say something else, but when he saw Mu He was so wronged that he was about to cry, he couldn't help swallowing what he wanted to say, "Take you there It's okay, but you can't talk nonsense, and you can't run around, understand?"
As soon as Chen Xian said this, Mu He cheered and hugged his arm in an instant. The difference in expression in less than two seconds made Chen Xian stunned. God knows where she learned this skill. It's just like Sichuan opera. It's like changing face.
"You're not pretending to be pitiful to me, are you?" Chen Xian looked at her suspiciously, looked at her carefully, and his expression became more and more puzzled, "Are you selling me out before?"
Mu He blinked his eyes, as if he didn't understand Chen Xian's words, but still had that lovely smile on his face.
Chen Xian looked at her silently for a while, and finally turned his face away completely resigned to his fate.
never mind.
Anyway, she also has a full set of identity certificates. Since the old liar said that there will be no problems and no one can find out, there is no need to worry too much. If there are too many concealments, it will give people the feeling that there is no money here.
Besides, the ancients still have such a trick as black under the lamp, but it's actually nothing...
Chen Xian kept hypnotizing himself, and leaned against the car window in silence without saying a word, while Mu He seemed very excited, sitting in the car and kept looking around, full of curiosity about the outside world.
After half an hour's drive, Chen Xian and the others came to Chunhua Road, the most prosperous city center in Ningchuan.
From the geographical point of view, Ningchuan is a square city, and the center point of this square is the huge commercial circle on Chunhua Road.
This place made Chen Xian feel very depressed. From the bottom of his heart, he hated this place very much.
This is a huge forest made of reinforced concrete. Towering skyscrapers are next to each other. Crowded office buildings cover most of the sky. On the busy streets, pedestrians are bustling. A little numb, seems to be tired of this busy life.
Perhaps this is the place that is most unlike Ningchuan. There is a hurried atmosphere everywhere, and there is no trace of Ningchuan's unique ease and laziness.
Standing on the street, Mu He held Chen Xian's arm tightly, as if frightened by the crowded pedestrians, his small face was full of vigilance.
"Let you stay at home and you won't wait..." Chen Xian sighed. Although there was a bit of complaint in his words, at this moment he still chose to hold Mu He's hand, avoiding the crowd as much as possible, and walked slowly on the street. Walking on the edge.
The Ningchuan branch is located on this commercial street, and unlike Chen Xian's imagination, its geographical location is not remote at all, but it is a bit too eye-catching...
That's right, the Ningchuan branch is located in the tallest office building in Ningchuan.
"This is too ostentatious..." Standing under the office building, Chen Xian raised his head and glanced in astonishment. This office building is at least fifty or sixty stories high, and the topmost part of the building is almost covered in the clouds. Covered by the mist, it looks a little unreal.
If I remember correctly, this building should have been built five years ago, right
It seems to be called Ningchuan Building
Chen Xian recalled silently, because he had seen news about this building on TV before, saying that it was the tallest building in Ningchuan, and it seemed that it was invested by a certain real estate tycoon...
"Chen Xian! It's so tall!" Mu He hugged Chen Xian's arm tightly, bouncing around like a child who just came out to play, and seemed to be very interested in this tall building, and his eyes were shining when he looked up.
"Follow me, don't run around, don't talk." Chen Xian instructed in a low voice.
Mu He nodded obediently, and hugged Chen Xian's arm even tighter.
According to the message prompt sent by Fatty Huo on WeChat, Chen Xian took Muhe into the hall, looked around, and found that it was no different from the most ordinary office building, and there were some signs similar to trading companies hanging around.
Going deeper along the corridor on the right, Chen Xian and the others came to the place where the elevator is taken. It seems that you need to swipe your card to take the elevator here. Chen Xian has not yet applied for the identification card here, so it is basically impossible to take the elevator casually. Yes, you can only call someone to come and pick you up.
Called Fatty Huo and got connected in less than two seconds.
"Hello? Xiao Chen? Are you here?"
"Well, I'm downstairs."
"Then you wait for me, I'll be here in half a minute."
As soon as the voice fell, Fatty Huo hung up the phone, leaving Chen Xian with a confused face.
Especially when he saw that the elevator was going down from the sixty-fifth floor, he immediately became even more puzzled, and got down in half a minute? Is it possible to fly
Like this kind of high-rise office building, the elevators are mostly so slow that people gnash their teeth. It's not that the speed is slow, but that someone presses the elevator every few floors and stops every once in a while. No two or three minutes is impossible.
But the facts proved that Chen Xian underestimated Fatty Huo.
As soon as the elevator descended from the sixty-fifth floor, the numbers on the display screen began to change, as if the accelerator was turned on, and the elevator might have reached the first floor in less than ten seconds.
With a ding-dong sound, the elevator door slowly opened.
"Oh! My good comrade! You've come!"
Fatty Huo walked out of the elevator with a smile on his face, and shook hands with Chen Xian very eagerly, but when he found a little girl standing beside Chen Xian, he couldn't help being stunned.
"this is?"
"My friend." Chen Xian replied calmly.
"Xiao Chen, is this your friend?" Fatty Huo said, seeing that Chen Xian was holding Mu He's hand tightly, the expression on his face became subtle in an instant, "Why do I look like a target?"
"This is a child from an orphanage that my grandfather sponsored. After she left the orphanage, she had nowhere to go, so she came to join me." Chen Xian thought for a while when he answered, and raised his finger to point at his head, " She's a bit out of her mind, and I'm worried about leaving her alone at home."
Hearing what Chen Xian said, Fatty Huo didn't doubt it at all, because there was a record about his grandfather in Chen Xian's file, that rich and kind old man left a deep impression on Fatty Huo.
"Hey, this is really a crime..." Fatty Huo looked at Mu He sympathetically, and then asked Chen Xian, "Born?"
Chen Xian nodded and sighed, "I have this problem not long after I was born."
Mu He seemed to be very afraid of Fatty Huo. When Fatty Huo walked out of the elevator, she almost subconsciously ran behind Chen Xian and hid, only showing a pair of dark eyes to look at him. Be vigilant.
"Why don't you wait for me downstairs?" Chen Xian turned his head to ask for Mu He's opinion, "It's quite safe here, you find a place to sit, and I'll be down in a while."
"No... Chen Xian... let's go together..." Mu He spoke fluently, and it can be said that he has made great progress compared to before, but in the eyes of Fatty Huo, it is another matter. After all, he doesn't know Mu He's origin.
Seeing that she was speaking intermittently and her expression was a little blank, the sympathy in Fatty Huo's eyes increased a bit.
If it weren't for that action at the beginning... my child and her should be this old, right
Fatty Huo murmured in his heart, as if recalling something from the past that he didn't want to face, a look of extreme pain flashed in his eyes, but this change was fleeting, and soon he returned to his usual smiling look.
"It's okay, let's take her up together." Fatty Huo smiled, took out a box of chewing gum from his pocket, handed it to Chen Xian and Mu He, and chewed a piece himself, "It's not like we're going to keep secrets." There is no need to avoid suspicion so seriously.”
As soon as the words fell, Fatty Huo asked Chen Xian, "Is she your family?"
Chen Xian seemed to have never thought of this question, and subconsciously glanced at Mu He.
Mu He didn't seem to understand Fatty Huo's words, and couldn't understand the meaning of the family for the time being. Seeing Chen Xian looking at her, she also looked at Chen Xian instinctively, with the same silly smile on her face.
"Barely count." Chen Xian replied, after thinking for a while, he added, "I will let her keep the matter of the Ningchuan branch secret."
"What Ningchuan branch, this has to be called our bureau!"
Under Fatty Huo's warm greeting, Chen Xian took Mu He to the elevator.
This elevator is different from ordinary elevators. There are no buttons here. There is only an electronic screen with soft light but no picture. The surrounding metal walls have a strange frosted feeling, which seems to be deliberately customized like this. It doesn't feel as smooth as other elevators, nor does it reflect light, and there are Taoist runes engraved vertically and vertically in the four corners. The blood-red runes are particularly eye-catching.
When the elevator door was closed, Fatty Huo pressed his palm on the electronic screen on the right side of the elevator, as if he was swiping some kind of palmprint verification. After that, the buttons for each floor appeared on the electronic screen. Fatty Huo directly selected 65, and then He turned around and smiled at Chen Xian.
"Do you know what black technology is?"
Chen Xian hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
"This is it!" Fatty Huo raised his hand and pointed to the ceiling.
Before Chen Xian had time to react, he only heard a hum...
The sudden strong sense of weightlessness caused Chen Xian's face to change instantly. He seemed to hate this feeling very much, and his whole body stuck to the metal wall of the elevator.
"Uncle Huo... I want to give you an immature opinion..."
"Tell me." Fatty Huo smiled kindly.
"Can the property owner change the elevator for you... We're not on a rocket... We can't fight like this..." Chen Xian leaned against the wall, his voice trembling slightly, "We're within a few tens of seconds, right? ?”
"Why not?" Fatty Huo waved his fist, his face full of enthusiasm, "Although our job is only nine to five, but there are too many things to do every day, so we still need to save time!"
This moment.
Chen Xian remembered many things.
For example, the local eggs delivered by Fatty Huo.
"It even saves time... just kill you guys!"
