Chapter 67 (Part 2)

It was getting late, and the beautiful Qingpu Lake Park in the daytime gradually showed its own vastness and emptiness. There was silence all over the place, except for the place where the group of people passed by, there were some popular people, and the rest of the place was covered with shades of trees, which made people feel cold on their backs at a glance.

At first, Qi Ji thought that his feelings were wrong. After all, in addition to the construction team and the on-duty personnel, they were the only team left in the park, which was not open to the public. But when he walked for a while, that line of sight never disappeared, and it kept falling on him. Qi Zhi turned back several times, but couldn't find the source of his sight.

When his colleagues behind him started to ask what was going on because he turned back frequently, Qi Ji finally gave up the idea of ​​finding out the source of his sight. Since that person never showed up, why bother to look for him.

Moreover, Qi Ji has always been quite sensitive to maliciousness. He could feel that the sight was not very aggressive. In addition, there was security in the park. Even if there was a one-on-one collision, not many people could hurt Qi Ji. .

Qi Ji only kept a little bit of vigilance, and didn't take this sight too seriously.

After the visit, the group returned to Qingpu Lake under the guidance of the tour guide. They lived in the small building by the lake tonight.

This small townhouse was originally a holiday villa area. It has just been built for less than a year. The facilities and environment are first-class. It was originally an area of ​​Shanhai Manor used to entertain guests. Because it was a pity to demolish it, it was temporarily preserved.

This time, the design department came to live here, and it is also considered as employee benefits. After all, if it is really based on market prices, the specifications here must have exceeded the normal business travel standards.

Although many luxury services in the villa area cannot be provided due to lack of manpower, the natural scenery here is enough to make people feel relaxed and happy. Not long after arriving at the villa, everyone went to the lake to play together. Qi Ji also received an invitation from a colleague, but he declined because he was afraid of missing the call.

It's past nine o'clock, and it's time for Pei Yusheng to call.

The villa is quite spacious, with enough space, and the staff live in single rooms. Qi Ji simply packed her luggage, and it didn't take long before she received a call from Pei Yusheng.

However, the call didn't last long. Pei Yusheng had two more video conferences next, and it was estimated that he would be busy all night. The main purpose of his call was to remind Qi Ji to rest early.

Qi Ji responded, and after a few more chats, the call was hung up.

He stared at the blackened screen for a while, thinking about his part-time job. This seems to be a very important job, but in fact, Qi Ji's real workload is quite limited.

Rather than a job, this is more of a bond that provides a connection between the two.

Before, Qi Ji was all about debts, but failed to get out of the constraints of money. Now that he knew Pei Yusheng's intentions, and looking back, he already had a completely different meaning.

maybe...

Qi Ji was thinking, but his thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Who?"

He subconsciously asked for the exit, and then he remembered that the sound insulation of the villa was so good that the sound could not be transmitted. But when he got up to open the door, Qi Ji suddenly realized something.

My colleagues have all gone to the lake to play. Who will knock on the door at this time?

He instantly remembered that nameless sight in the evening.

There was a sudden knock on the door in the empty and quiet villa, which was really strange. But Qi Ji didn't care much. After all, with his skills, there are not many people who can take advantage of him.

After all, a strength that can be easily crushed like Pei Yusheng is rare.

Besides, there is cat-eye surveillance at the door. Qi Ji walked to the door and glanced out through the surveillance camera. When he saw the person coming, he was truly surprised.

It's not a stranger outside the door, on the contrary, the other party is the one Qi Ji is most familiar with in this place.

It was actually the person who watched the fight at the boxing ring, Zhang Wu.

When Qi Ji was fighting in the boxing ring, he had a good relationship with Zhang Wu. Zhang Wu also reminded Qi Ji to pay attention to safety several times. Knowing that Qi Ji likes sweets, he even brought Belgian chocolates to others.

But since the exhibition match, Qi Ji has cut off contact with everyone in the boxing arena. Roughly speaking, he has not seen Zhang Wu for more than three months.

Zhang Wu was the only one outside the door, and he didn't have any threatening tools on his body. He was monitoring the door, not dodging or dodging, but his expression was a little apprehensive and anxious, and two thick eyebrows flew into his temples. All screwed together.

Qi Ji hesitated for a while, but still opened the door.

"Xiao Qi!" Zhang Wu looked happy when he saw him outside the door, and his white teeth were still dazzling, "It's really you!"

Zhang Wu looked him up and down, "Are you all right?"

"Brother Wu?" Qi Ji asked, "Why are you here?"

Although there were no people in the villa, colleagues could come back at any time. It was inconvenient to talk in the corridor, so Qi Ji let people into the room first: "Come in and talk."

Zhang Wu is only in his early twenties. He is tall and strong. His head is shaved to reveal the blue stubble. He is the kind of person who can stop a child from crying at night. He is also a good boxer. , so he was chosen to watch the show.

However, in front of Qi Ji, Zhang Wu rarely showed that kind of compelling deterrence. On the contrary, as someone who has rarely seen Qi Ji perform in the boxing ring many times, he always punched his opponent with a single punch. Treat the poured Qi Ji as a fragile item that needs to be handled with care.

This kind of change started when he knew Qi Ji was a college student, and it has remained the same to this day. This time, Qi Ji took the initiative to let him into the room. Zhang Wu was still a little bit cramped. Because of his height of 1.9 meters, he had to be slightly shorter when he entered the door.

Qi Zhi pulled a chair for him, then turned around and poured a glass of water: "Brother Wu, how did you know I was here?"

Zhang Wu hurriedly took the water: "It's alright, Xiaoqi, you can also sit down, sit down."

When Qi Ji was also seated, he said, "I happened to be patrolling the East District in the evening. I felt familiar, so I took a few more glances and found out that it was really you."

It turned out that Zhang Wu's sight was in the evening.

Qi Ji was a little puzzled: "Patrol here?"

But hasn't this place been acquired by Xinghai and is no longer the place of Shanhai Manor?

Zhang Wu saw Qi Ji's doubts: "Yes, I was hired by Xinghai to be responsible for the security here."

He sighed: "It's really a coincidence. I've been looking for you for so long and there is no news. I actually met you here."

Qi Ji was surprised: "Look for me?"

Zhang Wu nodded: "I have been trying to contact you, but there is not enough information, and your phone has never been connected."

It was only then that Qi Ji remembered that he used a separate number to communicate with Brother Qian and the others in the boxing arena. Later, the phone with the calling card was left in the locker room, and he never used that number again. .

He explained it, but Zhang Wu didn't say anything, just said, "It's okay, you'll be fine."

Seeing that Qi Ji was still puzzled, Zhang Wu hesitated for a while, then touched his thick and hard board with his big palm, and finally sighed and said, "In the exhibition competition that day... I was actually there."

Hearing the words "exhibition competition", Qi Ji's expression froze.

That nightmarish experience is still unbearable to this day.

Zhang Wu also noticed the boy's strangeness, but this matter had to be mentioned, and he quickly recounted what happened at the beginning.

"I wasn't in the venue on the ground that day, and I didn't know you would come. But I met Brother Qian's person. He asked me for the key and said he was going to a special warehouse for storing medicines."

That warehouse is filled with the most expensive medicines. Usually few people go there. The guards are very strict. The key that Zhang Wu is in charge of is only one of the locks. He didn't know why Brother Qian suddenly sent someone to this warehouse, but thinking that Brother Qian had been dissatisfied with Qi Ji before, Zhang Wu kept his mind.

It just so happened that it was time for a shift change, and Zhang Wu followed Brother Qian's people all the way to the above-ground stadium. He had heard about the high-value auction inside Shanhai Manor before, so this time he only heard a few keywords, and he guessed most of the facts.

Thinking about the player Qian was in charge of, Zhang Wu couldn't sit still.

This is clearly a trap for Qi Ji.

Zhang Wu claimed to be not a good person, but he couldn't just watch this young man get destroyed. After thinking about it again and again, he finally chose to help.

He chose to start with the power system, which is one of the parts under his jurisdiction, the one that is most interoperable and requires the least cryptographic permissions. But this method won't buy much time. Shanhai Manor's backup power system can be restarted within two minutes. Zhang Wu only has this short two-minute chance. He must set this time at the most critical moment.

Therefore, Zhang Wu chose to wait until the auction item was delivered on the spot. At that time, the restraint on Qi Ji's body would be temporarily lifted, and it would also be convenient for Zhang Wu to take people away from the pitch-dark stage.

However, when Zhang Wu set up the remote operation and went to the scene to save people, he happened to bump into the surrounding police officers waiting to close the net.

"So..." Zhang Wu touched the back of his head again and coughed, "I was caught by them."

Qi Ji was surprised: "Are you all right?"

He didn't know that the other party also sacrificed himself to do this kind of thing for himself.

"It's alright," Zhang Wu smiled, "Everyone in Shanhai Manor has been detained, I'm not the only one."

"What about after the seizure?" Qi Ji asked.

"It's just detention, it's not a big deal," Zhang Wu comforted him in return, "I also managed the meals for two months."

At the beginning, Zhang Wu was a street ruffian in order to eat food, and it was not the first time that he was detained, so he didn't care much. Moreover, what Shanhai Manor did was not serious business, and the detention and investigation was also due process.

But when Qi Ji heard it, he couldn't hide his guilt. After all, if he hadn't taken the risk to save him, Zhang Wu wouldn't have run into the police.

"Two months? How long?"

"It's not too long," Zhang Wu laughed, his originally rough appearance has become much more peaceful and kind, "The remote timing I set for the power system almost screwed up the police's plan and sent them It’s not too bluffing, and there are many trials of me alone, two months is not too long.”

Qi Ji was at a loss for words, and didn't know whether to praise the other party for being so good, or whether to feel guilty and implicated the other party.

Zhang Wu continued: "They also asked a lot about Shanhai Manor. I don't know much. I have said everything I can say. It seems to be useful. I was released after two months."

"But I was intercepted as soon as I came out." He wiped the bridge of his nose with his fingers and said, "Those people said that their boss is the next boss of Qingpu Lake. Hired again."

Qi Ji was stunned, no wonder he met Zhang Wu here.

"Then Brother Wu, have you been here at Qingpu Lake all this time?"

Zhang Wu said, "No, I just came here two days ago."

After the new boss learned about Zhang Wu's manipulation of the power system, he called him over alone. Zhang Wu thought he would be warned at first, but he didn't expect the other party to ask him some outrageous questions, so he sent someone to a professional technical school.

"I came here after studying with an electrician in a technical school for a month."

When Qi Ji heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "That's a coincidence, I remember Brother Wu always wanted to learn electrician."

"Yeah," Zhang Wu rubbed his rough palms, unable to hide his joy, "and that technical school special major, didn't I tell you before, I wanted to apply for that 15,000 class, but I haven't been able to raise enough money. In the end, when I arrived at the technical school, I found out that the teacher at 15,000 was a graduate of this technical school, and I really made a lot of money this time."

Qi Ji was also happy for the other person: "Have you finished your studies this month?"

"There are still two months, but I have to wait until the next year to study in installments, so I will come here to work first." Zhang Wudao, "It happens that Qingpu Lake is being renovated, and the temporary power supply system sometimes has problems. It also allows me to practice my hands.”

"Okay," Qi Ji breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Wu is fine."

In the end, this was actually his fault, because he didn't want to recall anything related to the boxing ring, so he completely cut off all contact. If he could have contacted Zhang Wu on his own initiative, he would not have made him wait so long.

"What can I do?" Zhang Wu waved his hand and said, "I'm just worried about you."

Qi Ji asked, "Me?"

"Yeah," Zhang Wu asked him with a sullen expression, "How have you been these past few months?"

"I'm fine too." Qi Ji was a little confused, "Is something wrong?"

Although he didn't explain it to the other party, since Zhang Wu bumped into the police, he should also know that he left safely.

"That medicine..." Zhang Wu said something else, he hesitated, and finally blurred his words, "Have you noticed its influence?"

medicine? The more he listened, the more confused Qi Ji became. He was about to ask a question, but suddenly realized something.

He was stunned for a while. Could it be the BSW991 that was given to him before in the boxing ring?

Zhang Wu touched his stubble, sighed, and said, "Xiao Qi, Brother Wu doesn't read much. If you don't feel comfortable with your speech, don't be angry with me."

"How could it be?" Qi Ji said, "Brother Wu, just say it directly."

Zhang Wu finally made up his mind and said: "That medicine will make people completely obey another person's orders, and he can't even notice that something is wrong. It is equivalent to a kind of unconditional obedience in thought, and it is difficult to eliminate. Think about it, now Is someone doing this to you?"

"In other words..." He gritted his teeth and finally asked the question, "Do you have a master now?"
