Chapter 5 Memory
Chapter 5 Memory
On the second day, Duan Zhang received the news that his benefactor had died without any surprise.
At that time, he was inspecting the branch office, and when he heard it suddenly, his footsteps paused.The senior executives who followed behind and reported to work hurriedly braked, thinking that something had gone wrong, and felt uneasy.He turned to look at other colleagues, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one dared to speak up.
He swallowed hard, and said after deliberation: "Vice President, is it..."
"Dead? How did he die?" Duan Zhang raised his hand to interrupt him, and frowned at the special assistant.
"This..." The special assistant was also very helpless, he couldn't say it in front of everyone, so he showed his mobile phone directly to Duan Zhang.Because the information sent by the other party is very simple, there is only one address.
Jinyu: No. 138, South District, XX Cemetery, please be civilized.
Duan Zhang stared at this passage firmly, feeling a huge sense of absurdity.Would he believe that a hundred-year-old monster would belch as soon as he was born?
The other party must be mocking his IQ.
But in any case, the other party's refusal is obvious. If you act according to Duan Zhang's personality, it's better to stop here.Because repaying kindness and repaying kindness can only be regarded as a skill if it is exactly what is needed, otherwise it will be as redundant as a vase on the table.
But Duan Zhang has never been a person who is led by the nose, he has always only believed in his own eyes.
Whether it is the story about the benefactor or the news he has received in recent days, he was told by the middleman.Who really knows whether the benefactor has gone down the mountain or not at all, died or not?Seeing is believing, hearing is believing.
"Arrange it, I want to meet that Jin Yu in person."
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Duan Zhang finished work and returned to the villa, just in time to meet the neighbor who was signing for the delivery.A blue van was parked at the entrance of the villa, and two staff members got out of the car carrying a large cardboard box. Looking at the depth of the footprints, the contents of this box were very heavy, far exceeding the weight of ordinary household appliances.
Look at the words on the back of their uniforms - Dongfeng Express?
It's a courier company I've never heard of.
The kid next door was wearing a pair of big sunglasses, leaning lazily by the door, without even a glance.Duan Zhang has always been puzzled, how did he provoke him.
"Vice President, it's time to go." The special assistant reminded him.
The plane at three o'clock in the afternoon really cannot be delayed, and the only bit of curiosity is not enough to make Duan Zhang pay more attention.But as soon as Duan Zhang turned around and wanted to enter the house, he suddenly heard a low cry from inside the cardboard box.
"Ouch." That was the sound.
There is someone in the box.But the two couriers carrying the boxes didn't show the slightest surprise, and didn't even change their expressions at all. They quickly sent the boxes through the door next door—as if they were trying to cover up something.
The special assistant also heard it, and immediately exchanged a look with Duan Zhang without any trace, but without hesitation in his footsteps, he continued to open the door for Duan Zhang, as if nothing had happened.
When the two entered the room, Duan Zhang's eyes shone slightly: "Check."
If this matter were placed on ordinary people, they might suspect that they had heard it wrong, but Duan Zhang had been in the army for five years, and nothing could hide it from him.What's more, this group of villas including a private beach was originally the property of the Duan family, so he had no reason to ignore it.
The special assistant quickly left, while Duan Zhang stood alone by the window, thinking about something.
After a while, the assistant hurriedly ordered things down, double-checked that he had nothing to miss, then walked to Duan Zhang, and asked for instructions: "Vice President, shall we go?"
"Don't worry." Duan Zhang suddenly had a very shallow smile on his lips, his eyes slowly swept to the door, and said: "Look, people are coming."
Almost as soon as the words fell, the knock on the door followed.
"Go open the door."
"Yes."
The special assistant walked quickly to the door, adjusted his smile, and opened the door.
The person who came was naturally Si Nian. He finally took off his sunglasses, wore loose and comfortable hospital-style home clothes, stepped on flip-flops, and carried a super-large king crab with a straw rope in his hand.
"Hi, I'm here to drop by." He shook the crab in his hand, smiling amiably.
The special assistant took the crab and let the person into the house, Si Nian didn't see any life, he walked into the living room openly, and looked at the decorations in the house with great interest.
"The decoration style here is nothing new." He was still in the mood to comment.
The special assistant was muttering inwardly. At this moment, Duan Zhang came out of the kitchen, holding in his hand the lemon tea that the assistant had brewed and put in the refrigerator yesterday.
The behavior of the boss is becoming more and more incomprehensible.The special assistant said.
"Have a cup of tea." Duan Zhang said.
"Thank you." Si Nian took it unceremoniously, took a sip, and thought it tasted good.This made him feel a little happier, and he even looked at Duan Zhang with kinder eyes: "My people seemed to scare you just now."
Duan Zhang turned around and sat down on the sofa: "Really."
"It doesn't seem right to say that, but..." Si Nian sat down opposite him and smiled: "There will always be troubles."
"What's the trouble?"
"You."
Duan Zhang shook his head: "The first prerequisite for getting rid of trouble is not to talk nonsense with trouble."
Si Nian just smiled and said nothing, just stared straight at Duan Zhang, as if he was looking carefully at his bones through his skin.Even the special assistant was standing far away, feeling a chill down his spine.
Duan Zhang didn't care, the casual sitting posture with his legs crossed made every muscle in his body in the most relaxed state, but full of strength.
He didn't mind Si Nian's sizing up, because he was sizing him up too.
This was the first time he saw Si Nian's face at such a close distance. The milky white boy in his original impression still looked so white, and the lip color was also a natural light color, but because of those willow eyes that seemed to have eyeliner, It is half full of autumn water, showing a three-point charm.
Especially when laughing, lying silkworm is very obvious.
Suddenly, Si Nian suddenly asked: "Do you like men or women?"
Duan Zhang raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"
Special Assistant: "..."
Si Nian suddenly felt that this Mr. Zhang might not be very straight. There was no specific reason, just a momentary feeling.So he didn't want to continue going around in circles with Mr. Zhang, and asked directly, "Mind if I light a cigarette?"
Duan Zhang took a deep look at him, and suddenly said, "Never mind."
Si Nian laughed, this is really an unexpected answer.
"You go upstairs to pack your luggage first." Duan Zhang dismissed the special assistant.The special assistant was suspicious, thinking that Si Nian was really a problem, but who knew what his perverted boss was thinking, so he left obediently.In case something happened, he could call the police directly on the second floor.
After the figure of the special assistant disappeared at the corner of the stairs, Duan Zhang looked at Si Nian again and said, "Have you asked for your name yet?"
"Even if I tell you, you will soon forget it. Why do you need to know?" Si Nian smiled, and a wisp of smoke curled up from his fingertips, "You shouldn't reject me. Compared to killing people and silencing them, how much better to sleep?" Isn't it easier?"
There was a chill in the frivolous and smiling tone.Duan Zhang stared at his fingertips, his thoughts flowed rapidly, he connected all the clues in an instant, and asked, "Are you a demon?"
"It's boring if you guess it." Si Nian didn't expect the human in front of him to know the existence of monsters, but since he knew, things would be much easier.He leaned comfortably on the back of the sofa, looking down at the wisp of green smoke that seemed to have been given life at his fingertips, thought for a second, then raised his head again: "But you are still a little too smart."
In these two sentences, the upper and lower meanings are not connected with each other, so Duan Zhang didn't figure it out for a while.And in the blink of an eye, the green smoke seemed to be blown away by the wind, spreading from his fingers to the entire living room.
"This is..." Qingyou's scent penetrated into his nostrils, Duan Zhang instinctively felt something was wrong, and stood up abruptly.However, maybe he stood too fast, his whole body shook suddenly, and his brain became dizzy.
He collapsed on the sofa.
In a daze, he seemed to hear a "boom" falling to the ground from the second floor.There was an alarm bell in his heart, and the piercing sound almost pierced his eardrums, forcing him to regain consciousness.The fighting instinct remaining in his body was also revived at this moment, and the muscles of his whole body were tense, like a caged animal about to be released.
But at this moment, a slender hand pressed on his shoulder.Obviously, it was just a light touch, and all his efforts were disintegrated.
The man leaned down and looked at him with charming eyes full of interest, as if surprised that he could still maintain his sanity.
"What do you want to do?" Duan Zhang's voice was hoarse, sweat was already dripping on his forehead, but his eyes were as cold as a knife, condensing a solemn and murderous look.
Si Nian suddenly understood that this knife must have killed someone.He likes such sharp knives, so he couldn't help raising his hand to stroke the corners of his eyes, and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything, you just need to sleep peacefully."
"good."
He breathed out like silk.
"As long as you sleep, everything will be fine."
In the next moment, consciousness escaped into the darkness.The slender fingers wiped away the last wisp of smoke, the windows opened, and the free wind took away the fragrance of the whole room.
Si Nian looked at the people on the sofa, tilted his head and thought about it carefully, and felt that Wujin Panlonglu was to blame for this matter.If he didn't say that, he didn't have to come here to erase the memory of the two of them and clean up the mess.
Five minutes later, Duan Zhang and the special assistant woke up one after another.
The special assistant hurriedly came down from the upstairs with the luggage, and ran to apologize: "I'm sorry, Vice President, I accidentally fell asleep just now. It's getting late, let's go as soon as possible."
When he said this, his ears were still slightly red, obviously such a low-level mistake is really rare in his career.
Duan Zhang frowned slightly, and carefully searched the memory of the previous half hour, but found that it was extremely vague, as if he couldn't remember anything after sleeping.And what the special assistant said made him suspicious, if he was alone, it would be fine, how could two of them accidentally fall asleep at the same time?
But it seemed that he really just fell asleep accidentally, nothing was lost or injured.
"Vice President, it's too late." The special assistant urged again.
"Go adjust the monitoring." Duan Zhang no longer hesitated, picked up his coat and walked out, and ordered: "After the plane lands, I will see the monitoring content immediately. Also, go and check the people next door."
Both of them are activists, and they walk like the wind.But when Duan Zhang was about to walk out of the gate, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a huge king crab in the basket next to him, and paused slightly.
"Who sent that?"
