    That night, the three of them sat in the bar by the Qinhuai River for nearly an hour before Zhuang Li's car arrived. Zhou Luoyang was exhausted and lay in the car.

    "You won't be checked when you're crossing the highway, right?" Zhou Luoyang said leaning on the back seat.

    "If there is no blood on the body, it will not." Du Jing began to package the collected information and send it to the headquarters.

    Until this moment, Zhou Luoyang, the sound of gunshots lingered in his ears for a long time.

    Zhuang Li drove the car to Nanjing and did nothing for a while, so he had to drive back to Hangzhou.

    "Are you a native of Zhejiang?" Zhuang Lichao asked the stand-in, "What can I eat and play in Hangzhou? It's my first time here."

    The substitute sat in the passenger seat and began to remove his makeup and tore off his shaped face. After all, he didn't know whether Wu Xingping would be wanted or not. With his appearance, he was afraid that he would be interrogated and unintelligible.

    "Yo." Zhuang Li glanced at the substitute.

    "Everyone who sees my appearance will be silenced." The substitute made a rare joke, and Zhuang Li laughed.

    Zhou Luoyang listened to the conversation in the front seat and looked at Du Jing silently.

    "Sleep for a while." Du Jing said to Zhou Luoyang.

    Zhou Luoyang: "It was a thrilling night, would you sleep one for me to see?"

    Du Jing put on his earphones and called the company headquarters. This time his tone was relatively better. After hanging up, Zhou Luoyang asked, "Have the task been completed?"

    "It's barely done," Du Jing said. "The rest, it's up to the other side to deal with it."

    Du Jing has collected enough evidence, just waiting for the legal affairs of all parties to start to intervene to deal with the follow-up of this series. From Yu Jianqiang to the death of Wang Ke, to the hiding place of the multinational extortion organization ut, following the clues and going deep, an extremely serious case will be implicated.

    The stand-in said, "I forgot to introduce myself, Brother Jing, this... brother, just call me Adan."

    Zhou Luoyang nodded and said, "My name is Luoyang."

    Zhuang Li said, "Who notified the police? Where are your people? Didn't you come?"

    The young man named Adan shook his head blankly and said, "You didn't ask for reinforcements, didn't you? Of course they didn't come. I didn't tell you."

    "Fairy Wood"

    "It's not me either." Zhuang Li said, "It's strange. When I got to the target location, I saw several police cars, so I didn't dare to approach."

    "Be careful when you speak." Du Jing reminded coldly.

    Zhou Luoyang was also a little puzzled, who would call the police? Is there still someone over there monitoring the company's every move?

    He glanced at Du Jing, but Du Jing waved his hand, motioning not to ask more.

    They returned to Hangzhou at dawn, while Du Jing was still finishing the work. When Zhou Luoyang woke up in the afternoon, he and Du Jing went to Quyuan Fenghe for afternoon tea.

    On the other side of Wanshi, Yu Jianqiang called, and Zhou Luoyang almost forgot about it.

    "I heard that Wu Xingping was caught," Yu Jianqiang said nervously, "do you have any news?"

    "I don't know," Du Jing said, "the car he got off in Jinan has never been contacted again."

    Yu Jianqiang said, "Where are you now?"

    Du Jing replied calmly, "Hangzhou."

    Yu Jianqiang said: "You don't come back for now. I will inform you in a while, and you will be paid as you go, so it's a paid vacation."

    Zhou Luoyang was drinking coffee and calmly listening to Yu Jianqiang express his anxiety.

    Du Jing said: "The paid vacation is very good, the boss will see you in a while."

    Zhou Luoyang said: "Why do I think you sometimes talk to Yu Jianqiang like a fool."

    Du Jing said, "The character he plays is an upright second-generation rich man." Then he motioned Zhou Luoyang not to speak, and called the headquarters himself.

    "Apply for a period of leave." Du Jing said.

    Li Liangyi's voice said, "What happened to you recently? You haven't even asked for a day of sick leave since you returned to China. Why have you been asking for leave one after another recently?"

    Du Jing began to pinch his knuckles, made a soft noise, and said, "I have something to deal with at home, and the project is over."

    "How long?" Li Liangyi asked.

    "One week." Du Jing replied.

    Li Liangyi said: "Okay, until next Wednesday, but I have to come back for a closing summary in the middle."

    Du Jing hung up the phone and said, "I should have asked for a month if I knew I had agreed so readily."

    Zhou Luoyang laughed. After Du Jing pinched his knuckles, he pinched Zhou Luoyang's fingers again. Zhou Luoyang exclaimed a few times and pulled his hand back.

    "Going for a walk on Beishan Road?" Du Jing said, "By the way, I'll show you the storefront."

    Zhou Luoyang didn't think about it, Du Jing's proposal is very good, but Le Yao is studying in Wanshi and needs someone to take care of it. It is obviously unrealistic to move back to Hangzhou, and Du Jing's work is not allowed.

    Zhou Luoyang said, "What about Le Yao? He can't be allowed to live on campus seven days a week."

    He hadn't seen his brother for several days, and he missed him very much.

    "I'll pick him up on Friday and bring him to Hangzhou," Du Jing replied, "I'll send him back to Wanshi on Sunday, and I'll have a regular meeting on Monday."

    "Then what about your work?" Zhou Luoyang said, "I might as well be in Wanshi, and I can see you often, otherwise you only come to Hangzhou on weekends a week, what's the point?"

    Du Jing said, "Do you really want to see me that much?"

    Zhou Luoyang didn't answer and glanced at him. In fact, he didn't really want Du Jing to do this job, no matter how good he was, it was too dangerous. But out of respect for him, he didn't try to persuade Du Jing.

    Du Jing added: "I can apply and be seconded to the Hangzhou branch. The boss said that as long as I am willing to come, I can choose the branch in China."

    "Then why did you choose Wanshi?" Zhou Luoyang suddenly asked.

    The two walked slowly across Beishan Road. Du Jing looked up at the storefronts on the side of the road. One of them had a "For Sale" sign. Obviously, the business was not good.

    He didn't answer Zhou Luoyang's question, but instead said: "You can think about it carefully, you can open it wherever you want."

    "It doesn't have to be in the scenic spot," Zhou Luoyang replied. "After all, it's not in the tourist business."

    Du Jing said: "Do it a little higher, and the business will come naturally. Don't do it like a street watch shop."

    Zhou Luoyang said: "I never seem to have questioned your professional level when you are on a mission."

    Du Jing apologized politely: "It's my fault. As a shareholder, I just hope you can earn more money."

    Zhou Luoyang still had a debt on his head. He ran around with Du Jing these days, which effectively relieved his pressure and eased his anxiety. However, after being reminded by Du Jingyi, he remembered what he was facing. A whole bunch of questions.

    "Let's talk about it," Zhou Luoyang said, "I have to deal with the things that should be faced. Give me a little more time. I don't want to leave Wanshi for the time being, I have to go back."

    He likes Hangzhou, and of course he likes Wanshi. There is no difference in his preference between these two cities. Wanshi has the thick, simple and atmospheric of Wanshi, and Hangzhou also has the graceful, beautiful and gentle of Hangzhou.

    Occasionally, he subconsciously wanted to escape from Wanshi, and there was only one reason - to collect debts.

    Grandpa's shop owes six million, he is the only heir, and of course he inherits all the debts of the shop. The debt collector has not come to the door yet, but he knows that one day he will come. Sending Le Yao to the boarding house was also to prevent his younger brother from facing too many responsibilities beyond what he could bear at his age.

    "Du Jing?" Zhou Luoyang said.

    After Du Jing's proposal was rejected, he didn't speak any more, just nodded.

    "What to drink?" Zhou Luoyang asked.

    "Don't drink." Du Jing replied.

    The two of them strolled along Beishan Road until dusk. The conversation between the two of them was normal before, but soon Du Jing was silent again. Zhou Luoyang knew that he had spoiled him, but he had no choice.

    "I owe money to the Antique Research Fund," Zhou Luoyang added. "If the creditor comes to the door and finds that the building is empty, the reputation will be too bad."

    Du Jing said, "You're not wrong, it's my lack of consideration. I didn't think about it from your standpoint. It's all my wishful thinking."

    Zhou Luoyang was full of anxiety, and finally said: "I really like to go back to Hangzhou, we can be in the future..."

    "Let's talk about it." Du Jing replied, "I'll go back tomorrow, and you have to pick up Le Yao on Friday."

    Zhou Luoyang knew that he was a little ill. During the years they had been together, there were not many occasions where Du Jing took the initiative to ask, and most of the time it was Zhou Luoyang who made up his mind. This has also created a habit. As long as Du Jing asks for it in rare cases, Zhou Luoyang will try his best to satisfy him.

    But this time he really couldn't listen to Du Jing. He had a hunch how Du Jing would react: exactly as he expected, Du Jing hardly spoke for the next twenty-four hours.

    "Are you feeling better?" Zhou Luoyang was accustomed to facing such a low pressure, and others would think Du Jing was cold and violent, only Zhou Luoyang would not be angry.

    Du Singing nodded, and the two of them swiped their tickets to enter the gate. It was Thursday on the day they returned to Wan City, and Zhuang Li drove to pick them up.

    "Send him home first." Du Jing said.

    "What about you?" Zhou Luoyang asked.

    Du Jing said: "Then go back to the company, there is something to deal with."

    Zhuang Li took off his sunglasses and said, "Brother Jing, the procuratorate has prepared to prosecute two separate cases. The boss said that the assignee will come to our company tomorrow afternoon to open..."

    Du Jing said patiently, "Why do you always talk so much nonsense?"

    Zhuang Li did not dare to speak.

    "When did you return to Wanshi?" Zhou Luoyang suddenly asked.

    Du Jing didn't answer.

    Zhou Luoyang: "Xiao Li, when did Du Jing join your company?"

    While visiting Beishan Road that day, Zhou Luoyang asked inadvertently, "Why did you choose to go back to Wanshi?" But Du Jing avoided it.

    If you change someone else, maybe you can solve it with "Wan City is a political and cultural center, what's the problem with returning to Wan City?". However, Du Jing didn't. If he didn't want to answer, there was only one reason: he didn't want to lie to Zhou Luoyang, so he didn't answer.

    So Du Jing came back to Wan City. In fact, there was another reason. Zhou Luoyang's attention fell strangely to this point.

    What's the reason?

    "I... Brother Jing I was with half a year ago."

    Zhuang Li glanced at Du Jing's face in the rear mirror, and cleverly answered Zhou Luoyang from the side.

    "You always knew I was in Wanshi, didn't you?" Zhou Luoyang said to Du Jing.

    "Yes." Du Jing was very calm this time.

    Zhou Luoyang thought for a while, and then asked, "Why didn't you come to me?"

    Du Jing did not answer again.

    Zhuang Li's expression was very, very uneasy, for fear that he had heard something he shouldn't have heard.

    Zhou Luoyang said: "I'll tell you first, I'm not angry. Based on your intelligence, it's easy to check someone. I don't think we'll meet by chance at Yu Jianqiang's dinner. Did you already know that I live? Where, even... spying on me?"

    Du Jing: "Yes."

    Zhou Luoyang's heart really is, this makes sense.

    "So you report back to the head office, because I'm in Wanshi." Zhou Luoyang said.

    Du Jing thought about it and replied, "You can say that."

    Zhou Luoyang was a little puzzled, this was indeed something Du Jing could do: "You... do you often appear in the community where I rent?"

    Du Jing said: "I often lie on the bench downstairs in your house at night, and I can't sleep anyway."

    Zhou Luoyang asked, "Why don't you come and knock on the door?"

    Du Jing replied, "I'm afraid you're still angry."

    Zhuang Li: "..."

    Zhou Luoyang said: "Actually, whenever you knock on my door, I will open the door for you. But you are still at Yu Jianqiang's dinner..."

    "I can't stand it anymore," Du Jing said.

    Zhou Luoyang knew that what Du Jing was really afraid of was not the fact that he was still angry three years ago.

    "What you're afraid of is not anger, but the fear that after three years of separation, we have become strangers who never meet again." Zhou Luoyang said slowly, "What you miss is the days we lived together three years ago, what you are afraid of is You have changed, I have changed, I am afraid that after I nod and greet you, I will never contact you again, and we will never be able to return to the past."

    Du Jing: "Since you know it, why say it again?"

    Zhou Luoyang said: "I always thought that just as I know you, you are also the person who knows me best."

    Du Jing: "I can't get past this."

    Zhou Luoyang thought about it and said, "It's all good now, let's... again..."

    Zhou Luoyang wanted to say "We are together again", but they were not lovers before, so it seemed a bit strange to say that. He couldn't find the right words to describe it.

    "Meet again." Du Jing said calmly.

    "Yes." Zhou Luoyang said with a smile, "Why do you have to be upset because of some trivial matters? When I saw you again, I felt that many difficulties could be overcome slowly for me. You and I have not changed. Isn't it the best outcome?"

    Zhuang Li stretched his neck and tried to see Du Jing's expression in the rear mirror. Zhou Luoyang's words were too misleading. Of course, their relationship was equally misleading.

    The car stopped downstairs in the community and arrived at Zhou Luoyang's house. Zhou Luoyang and Du Jing were still sitting quietly in the back seat of the car. Zhou Luoyang glanced at him, and the scars under Du Jingmei's eyes were especially clear in the sunlight.

    He avoided Zhou Luoyang's sight and glanced at the familiar building from the car window.

    "You're right, this is the luckiest thing. When are you going to let me move into your house?" Du Jing said to Zhou Luoyang as if he had thought about many things.

    Zhou Luoyang was about to open the door to go out, when he heard the words, he stopped and said, "Wait for me to ask Le Yao's opinion first."

    "On Monday, he promised me."

    "He's just politely, following your words. I still need to formally..."

    "Like you, he is a polite and considerate child." Du Jing interrupted Zhou Luoyang's words.

    Zhou Luoyang did not answer.

    Du Jing was silent for a long time. Zhou Luoyang knew that he must have something to say, so he didn't leave. In the past few days, Du Jing has made two requests to him, which is unprecedented, but their goals all point to the same thing. : Du Jing wants to live with him. This desire is so urgent that even if he risks being rejected, he has to make it clear to Zhou Luoyang repeatedly.

    "You don't have to worry about the store."

    Sure enough, Du Jing opened his mouth after nearly a minute.

    "I will solve the trouble for you. If you don't want to open it, you may not open it. There is no need to force yourself." Du Jing said very seriously, "if you accept to live with me, we will continue to be roommates, I mean , if you don't mind me moving in. You don't have to go to work, the salary is handed over to you, and you are at your disposal, I won't bother. "

    When Zhou Luoyang heard this, he laughed and felt warm in his heart.

    Du Jing raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Luoyang: "My salary is enough to support the two of us, plus Le Yao. It is also enough to cover all the expenses of the family. You can do whatever you want. If you want, I hope you will help me iron my shirt every day. After get off work, I also share some of the housework. When I get home from get off work, we have dinner together...I can't cook, but I can learn to do it."

    Zhou Luoyang replied, "I see."

    Du Jing added: "I can help you pick up Le Yao and take care of him together. Otherwise, you have to work and take care of your family, and it's really too busy. We can be like... we can be like..."

    "Live like two gays."

    Zhou Luoyang said so.

    Du Jing thought about it for a long time, he wanted to say "like we used to be".

    But this is indeed a more apt description.

    "Yes. Live together like two gays." Du Jing replied, and finally added: "When Le Yao goes home, I can sleep on the sofa in the living room."

    "I promise you, give me some time, and let you know when I'm done." Zhou Luoyang got out of the car.
