Chapter 303 Processing
At 4 a.m., on the top floor of the Tianhai City People's Bank Building, Lin Ze had forgotten how long it had been since she had been to a real rooftop, and her impression of contact with the night sky was getting less and less. But today, late at night on New Year's Eve, she walked here alone, leaned on the handrail and lit a cigarette.
"Tartarus..."
She muttered to herself the word she had just heard from Lu Shan. She thought it was just the name of some alien from abroad, but it seemed that there was more to it than that.
Lu Shan, no, it should be said that the Special Management Bureau seemed to be very afraid of Li Muhan being associated with this word, and they even went so far as to wipe his memory and issue a kill order.
This left her puzzled.
"What's going on? Did the old man scold you for being autistic and you're hiding out here in the cold?"
A voice came from behind. Lin Ze knew who it was without turning around. He could accurately grasp his location and there was no one else except that man.
"Chang Ju, happy New Year's Eve."
"Hey, what's the point of being happy or not? For people like us, there's no tomorrow after today, so we don't care about these things."
Chang Yue walked slowly to Lin Ze's side, took out a wrinkled cigarette box from his pocket, gently took out a cigarette, and lit it skillfully.
In the cold moonlight, smoke swirled around him, adding a touch of mystery and contemplation.
"You don't have to take to heart what the old man said just now," he said calmly, as if to dispel the tense atmosphere around them.
Lin Ze did not respond to Chang Yue's humor as usual. Instead, he chose to face the question directly: "If Li Muhan really got information from Moriarty that he shouldn't know, what would you do?"
Chang Yue took a deep breath of cigarette. The smoke stayed in his lungs for a moment, then slowly escaped from his nostrils and merged into the silent starry sky in the winter night.
"I'll take care of this." His voice was calm but firm.
Lin Ze stared at Chang Yue and asked, "What specific measures do you mean by 'handle'?"
Chang Yue curled his lips into a cold smile, looked up at the starry sky, and sighed: "When people live for a long time, sometimes the emotional fluctuations in their hearts will gradually be smoothed out. Dealing with it... literally."
There was endless vicissitudes in his words.
However, Lin Ze disagreed: "For those of us who are different, the situation may be exactly the opposite. If it were the old me, facing a situation like Li Muhan, I probably wouldn't have so many concerns."
"Hahahaha, what are you worried about? He's just a 20-year-old boy, and you really like him?"
"This joke is not funny." Lin Ze shrugged and said, "Li Muhan did nothing wrong. He shouldn't be treated like this."
"No one has done anything wrong. It's just the current situation created by various coincidences. Okay, that kid is very stupid. Maybe he didn't find out anything. Leave this matter to me. You should go back and rest for a few days. I will watch over the Special Management Bureau during the New Year holiday."
"Hey, the sun is rising from the west? Are you going to work? Let me make it clear first, you are not allowed to watch female anchors, play games, or even..."
"Alright, alright! It's New Year's Day! Why are you talking about that?"
......
Early the next morning, Li Muhan and Xia Yue were woken up by the ringing of their cell phones. No, in fact, only Li Muhan was woken up.
The moment the phone rang, a blood thorn condensed in the air and then stabbed towards Li Muhan's phone.
Li Muhan woke up from his sleep almost instantly and blocked the blood thorn that was about to destroy his mobile phone.
“…Huh…it’s so noisy.”
Then he turned around to look at Xia Yue who was still sleeping in a daze, and suddenly felt speechless.
How can this guy activate his skills while sleeping?
He quickly got out of bed, took his phone, walked to the living room and answered the call: "Hello, Director Lin, you..."
"Kid! Happy New Year! Hahahaha!!!"
But the voice coming from the other end of the phone was not Lin Ze, but Chang Yue.
"Director Chang? Are you back from traveling abroad?"
"Travel, damn it! I'm on a business trip! On official business! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! You kid, are you still tangling with that vampire of yours? The sun is scorching your ass, get up now!"
As Li Muhan put on his pants, he said helplessly to Chang Yue on the other end of the phone, "Director Chang, you're not here so early in the morning just to crack down on prostitution, are you?"
"Of course not! I have something important to talk to you about. Alright, get dressed and come downstairs in three minutes. I'll be waiting for you downstairs at your house. Oh, and since you're here alone, you don't need to wake up your wife."
After hanging up the phone, Li Muhan still hesitated for a while. He looked around the room and saw Xia Yue was still sleeping soundly, and seemed to be talking in her sleep. This girl's sleeping posture was really scary. She kicked himself out of bed several times a night. However, he did sleep very late last night, so he decided not to disturb Xia Yue.
After putting on his clothes and coat, Li Muhan lowered his voice and went out. Sure enough, he saw a black car parked outside the dilapidated apartment building downstairs. The driver was Chang Yue.
Li Muhan walked over and opened the passenger door, only to find Lin Ze sitting there.
"Director Lin! You're here too! Sorry I didn't see you!"
Lin Ze smiled and waved his hand, then pointed to the back seat, and Li Muhan quickly sat in the back seat.
"Where are we going? It's New Year's Day. Do we have a mission?"
Li Muhan asked with a smile, but Lin Ze didn't say anything. Chang Yue laughed and said, "A mission? What mission? Today is New Year's Day. I'm taking you somewhere and asking you something. Don't worry, it's nothing. Don't worry."
Chang Yue's words really made Li Muhan a little nervous. Those people who were arrested on TV were told that it was no big deal and they were just asked some questions, but they never came back.
In addition, Lin Ze's expression today seemed a little solemn, so Li Muhan cautiously asked a few more times on the way: "Director Chang, what's going on?"
"I'm so nervous. Why don't you just tell me what you want to ask?"
"Director Chang...Director Lin, did I make any mistake?"
Lin Ze didn't say a word the whole time, and Chang Yue just perfunctorily responded to Li Muhan, which made Li Muhan even more uneasy. Soon the car drove to a construction site in the suburbs.
The moment he entered the construction site, Li Muhan felt something. It was the feeling of a boundary decree... A boundary decree had already been set up for this construction site in advance.
So when Chang Yue and Lin Ze came to see him today, it was definitely not just a simple conversation.
After the car parked, Lin Ze took out a cigarette and lit it, while Chang Yue locked the car door.
"...Hey yoyo? This...this isn't right. Who is trying to frame me today? Director Lin, this, this is you framing me?"
Li Muhan could only try to lighten the atmosphere in this way, but Lin Ze had no reaction at all and just blew out smoke rings silently.
Finally, Chang Yue looked at Li Muhan through the rearview mirror and asked, "Li Muhan, you had contact with that man named Moriarty before, right?"
"...Yes, we did come into contact when she was pretending to be Ma Jun. What happened?"
"Did she tell you something, something...that you didn't know."
Li Muhan was silent for a while, then shook his head: "No, he used the identity of Ma Jun when talking to me directly, so he didn't say anything strange. What happened to the Changju?"
Chang Yue kept staring at Li Muhan through the rearview mirror, as if judging something: "Well, nothing, it seems that you really don't know anything."
Lin Ze seemed to be relieved at this moment.
"Is this what you're asking? If it's about the previous case, I do have some information to report. Previously, Moriarty, also known as Mu Ya, bewitched my high school senior Qi Su and hacked into the Special Management Bureau's network through Qi Su's computer. Qi Su also hacked into Moriarty's body. He told me about... Prometheus or something."
"Prometheus? Well, that is indeed some information. What else?"
There was a hint of coldness in Chang Yue's eyes, and Lin Ze slowly lowered his head.
"And.....something I should be careful of....Tartarus."
boom--
The moment this word came out, a loud explosion was heard in the car.
