Chapter 9 Trust

Cecil was about to return home when he received a notification from the housekeeper, saying that Zhou Mian drove the aircraft to the airport.

Cecil thought about simply going to the airport to pick up someone and then go back together. This week, Mian is unfamiliar with the place, even if there is navigation, is it enough?

However, Cecil was on vacation a few days ago to recover from an injury, and there were too many official duties, so it was a long time before Zhou Mian set off after finishing the treatment.

But the housekeeper said that Zhou Mian had not gone back.

Cecil arrived at the airport with doubts, and saw Zhou Mian standing alone in the wilderness where the aircraft took off, motionless.

The wilderness was windy, and the wind blew up Zhou Mian's long silver-blue hair and hem. It was beautiful, but it was also a bit... lonely?

The appearance of Zhou Mian standing against the wind alone on the huge grass reminded Cecil of Zhou Mian who had previously commanded on the battlefield.

Across the battle line, Zhou Mian ordered the formation in an orderly manner, watching with high spirits.

And now Zhou Mian is standing in front of him.

Cecil didn't know how long Zhou Mian had been standing here, but seeing the wind blowing away his long hair, he couldn't help but took off his army green coat and put it on Zhou Mian's shoulders.

"Why are you standing in the wind?"

Zhou Mian turned to look at Cecil blankly.

"The future is coming...?"

Cecil pulled the military cap on his head and the scarf around his neck and said, "Well, let's go, don't be recognized by others. I'll pick you up through the VIP channel."

Zhou Mian suddenly laughed.

Zhou Mian was originally very good-looking, with watery eyes, soft yet tough, but Cecil felt that Zhou Mian's long eyelashes, like the feathers of a black crow, caught everything in the world. in.

And Zhou Mian smiled so unexpectedly, and Cecil was stunned at such a close distance.

Cecil didn't understand why Zhou Mian suddenly laughed.

Cecil touched his nose and said, "Well, let's go. I'll let someone drive back your aircraft later."

"it is good."

The two went to the VIP passage, and Cecil stretched out his hand to wrap Zhou Mian's shoulder and said, "I'll take you to eat first, and I have something to tell you."

"Okay." Zhou Mian was still smiling.

Cecil took Zhou Mian to a restaurant in the city center.

Cecil had already asked the adjutant to make a reservation, and now the two can use the privilege to go directly to the box from the special elevator at the back door.

Zhou Mian sat on the soft slump, looked at the bamboo table in front of him, and then looked at the unique designs around him, and asked curiously, "Is this... a restaurant?"

"Yes. It's an ancient earth oriental restaurant. The chef cooks it now and it's much better than those compressed foods."

There were red lanterns and paper fans hanging all around, and the windows were also covered with red paper flowers and window grilles. Zhou Mian was stunned for a moment, unable to imagine how such a thin thing was cut out.

"it's beautiful."

Zhou Mian smiled and said, "Does the admiral like cooked food?"

While deli ingredients are also readily available, compressed foods are more convenient. Most people just buy it and eat it, no need to cook or worry about making it bad.

"Yes, compressed food is delicious and convenient, but I just like the taste of cooked food." Cecil dragged his chin and said, "It's just that I don't have time to come to the deli very often, and there are not many delis in the capital."

Compressed food is not a simple nutrient solution. There are compressed canned meat, which can be eaten right away, as well as compressed canned vegetables, soups, and desserts, all of which can retain their original taste and be compressed and sealed.

But Cecil loves dishes that are fresh, pyrotechnic, and handcrafted.

"I can do it." Zhou Mian smiled and said, "I can do it, but what I know is ancient earth western food, and I am not very good at oriental food..."

"You?" Cecil's eyes lit up.

"If the general doesn't dislike it, I'll do it next time." Zhou Mian lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's a thank you for this meal."

"Then I earned it." Cecil touched his chin and said, "We can't come often, but we can cook at home every day."

After that, the food was served, and the dishes in front of them were still smoking white smoke and aroma. The eyes of the two admirals suddenly turned green, and they didn't need to be humble, they just picked up the chopsticks and did it.

The two have been fighting all year round, and in fact, there is almost no chance to eat cooked food.

"Hey, cooked food is different." Cecil took a bite of the pig's foot and said, "Enough!"

Zhou Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After eating almost, Cecil wiped his hands, snapped his fingers and said, "I have something to tell you, first of all this."

Cecil took out a stack of papers from his briefcase and handed it to Zhou Mian.

"contract?"

Zhou Mian frowned slightly.

Surrender contract, marriage contract... how come there is still a contract?

Zhou Mian read it after taking it, but was stunned.

"This……"

Cecil proudly put down his chopsticks, grabbed a pig's foot in his hand and bit it while saying, "Here you are, it will make things easier for you."

Zhou Mian looked down at the burning contract in his hand and forgot to add vegetables for a while.

It turned out that Cecil went out just now to find someone from the Glacier Government, but it was for him.

Cecil negotiated with the Glacier government, and then asked the Glacier Empire to return Zhou Mian's army and let Zhou Mian regain command.

Originally Cecil Lion wanted to return all the troops, after all, Zhou Mian was the general. However, Zhou Mian's identity as a criminal is still there, and after much running-in and negotiation, he can only retake the legion directly under his name.

"Let me state first, your fiancé is powerful, handsome and handsome, and it was only for your convenience. I didn't pay attention to your legion at all." Cecil held up the pig's feet and smiled: "Your legion. You call the shots, it's none of my business."

"Okay." Zhou Mian couldn't help but was amused by Cecil's appearance.

Zhou Mian received the contract, and his heart was even more shaken.

In theory, he and Cecil would need to work together to take down the maggots of the royal family.

Should he exchange information with Cecil? He was holding on to the secrets in those USB drives, boring.

"I……"

"and also……"

Zhou Mian and Cecil spoke at the same time.

Zhou Mian paused, then said, "You speak first."

Cecil said: "There is a second thing, I need your cooperation and help."

"The 12th Legion is now investigating the relationship between the Glacier Royal Family and the Zerg." Cecil observed Zhou Mian's expression and said, "Do you know?"

Zhou Mian looked up at Cecil.

That's exactly what Cecil said...

Cecil smiled and said: "I believe you know about this, and I guess this is the reason why you were hunted down. Someone has to take a step, I will come first, I trust you, and I am willing to tell you the information I have found. ."

"I know..." Zhou Mian whispered: "My father has also collected a lot of evidence. The Glacier Royal Family realized that my father was a threat, and when my father was out of control, he poisoned him and was unable to save him."

Cecil looked up and saw Zhou Mian's face was as usual, but he couldn't see any emotions.

This man...isn't he sad?

But then Zhou Mian didn't speak, just lowered his head and continued to eat.

Cecil raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't mention it again.

After the two were full, they went back to the house. Cecil drove the autopilot, lying on the driver's seat with his hands halfway, and listened to the song leisurely.

Zhou Mian sat in the co-pilot, thinking a lot.

The aircraft traveled for a while, and Zhou Mian suddenly said, "Admiral, open your terminal."

Zhou Mian took a deep breath, opened the terminal and entered the absolutely encrypted file area. After typing the password several times, the secret information was opened.

It was too dangerous to carry a piece of hardware, so Zhou Mian destroyed the USB flash drive his father gave him and stored it in his terminal.

"I sent the information collected by the Zhou family to the general."

Zhou Mian decided to trust Cecil once and take a gamble.

Bet on what they've learned about each other on the battlefield over four years.

Zhou Mian smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate, Admiral."

"Happy and happy." Cecil was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Leave it to me, I can't pull it down if I don't believe it."

The Glacier Royal Family and the Zerg colluded to smuggle drugs, harming not only the Glacier System, but all human beings.

The enemies of mankind are not each other, but the Zerg.

After returning, Cecil got Zhou Mian's terminal information, and then quickly went to find the information with his hands and feet and the people of the 12th Corps.

Ever since the royal family knew that the information was leaked and leaked into Zhou Mian's hands, they began to destroy the evidence in full swing, but no matter how it was destroyed, what happened will definitely leave traces, and Cecil caught these tiny traces.

With Cecil and his personal escort and shadow guards, the Twelfth Army, intervening, Zhou Mian believed that it would be no problem to find a few leaders to suppress him.

As for whether we can catch the real leader behind the scenes...

This has to come slowly.

When Zhou Mian was about to wash up, she passed by Xiaole's room again.

It was still the shredded broken piano sound.

Zhou Mian gently pushed open the door.

"Xiao Le, good evening. What are you doing?"

Xiaole's eyes widened, jumped off the piano chair defensively, and hid in a corner of the room. The slender body was so nestled by the window, and he pulled the curtains desperately trying to hide himself.

Zhou Mian ignored Xiaole, just sat in front of the piano and put her fingers on the keyboard.

Zhou Mian smiled, closed his eyes and started to play the tune.

Zhou Mian could feel the spiritual power slowly flowing to his fingertips with his control, and finally drifted away through the song.

The song is very slow, like the moonlight illuminating every corner in the dark night where you can't see your fingers, soft but not blinding, just quietly accompanying.

Zhou Mian could feel that the fear in the air was covered by his own mental power, and Xiaole's original grim expression slowly loosened.

Zhou Mian didn't leave his seat, didn't take the initiative to talk to Xiaole, just played different songs very patiently all night.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that Zhou Mian got up.

"Good night, Xiaole, have a good sleep." Zhou Mian waved and left the room.

To be honest, he didn't feel tired at all. First, he felt sorry for Xiaole, and secondly... Zhou Mian also liked the piano very much.

"The last piece is beautiful."

The housekeeper who was guarding outside praised: "So the young master is so good at musical instruments."

Zhou Mian smiled and said, "I created it myself, and the song is called Moonlight."

"Moonlight...? Very poetic, how did you come up with this song?"

"I forgot." Zhou Mian rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "I created it when I was a child, it seems to be a tune given to someone... But my fingers remember the notes, but my brain doesn't remember that it was for Who's it?"

"It's very romantic." The butler shook his head.

The housekeeper asked so casually, which made Zhou Mian also mind.

However, until lying in bed, Zhou Mian couldn't remember who the song was composed for.

In fact, Zhou Mian has never given up searching for the origin of this song in his broken memories, but it is still fruitless.

It seems that it happened when I was very young... The other party...

Is it a big brother?

A special, especially gentle and powerful older brother.

Anyway, it's all old stuff.
