Chapter 28
Wu Tong turned his head to look at Xiao Yuncheng who was lying quietly on the side. When Xiao Yuncheng fell asleep, his often frowned brows relaxed a lot, and his whole person lost its sharpness, looking less aggressive.
Wu Tong stretched out his hand and lightly touched Xiao Yuncheng's cheek with his fingertips, poking it again and again, secretly sighing in his heart that his cheek was so soft.
Just as he was poking hard, Xiao Yuncheng suddenly grabbed his wrist, slowly opened his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "I caught you."
Wu Tong didn't get angry, and just let him play with her fingers. Wu Tong said, "How does it feel?"
"It's okay, nothing happened." Xiao Yuncheng pinched Wu Tong's slightly pink fingertips, pulled them to his lips and kissed them.
"When did you wake up?"
"You were awake when you came in."
Xiao Yuncheng suddenly pulled Wu Tong's hand, let him fall towards him, stretched out his hand to pull him into his arms, and teased: "Just now, you took advantage of me to fall asleep and chatted with the nurse so happily, and even called me 'nurse sister'..."
"Shut up." Wu Tong scolded him with a smile, then mumbled to herself, "I'm like this because I asked her to change my ward."
"Really? That little painter," Xiao Yuncheng pinched Wu Tong's chin with his hands, pinched his face with his fingers to make him look directly at him, and said playfully, "Then call me 'brother' and I will let you go."
Wu Tong's eyes widened, as if she was shocked by his shamelessness. From Xiao Yuncheng's perspective, she looked like a big-eyed cat.
After Wu Tong resisted several times without success, he finally compromised: "Brother, let me go."
Xiao Yuncheng went back on his word. He gently pressed his lips against Wu Tong's soft pink lips, touching the tip of his nose like a dragonfly skimming the water, and said, "I regret it."
"Why are you like this..."
"Call me husband."
Wu Tong's brain froze for a moment, and then his whole face flushed red. Xiao Yuncheng hugged him with a mixture of laughter and tears: "How can you be so cute, Tongtong?"
As he said this, he kissed Wu Tong hard, and the sound was so loud that it echoed in the room. Wu Tong rested her head on Xiao Yuncheng's shoulder, buried her whole red face in her palms, and tried hard to calm down her abnormal state.
"Come, come, let me take a look at our little painter. Ouch, his face is so red..."
Xiao Yuncheng held Wu Tong's red and hot face and kissed her several more times, until Wu Tong couldn't bear it anymore and covered Xiao Yuncheng's mouth with her hand, only then did he have time to rest.
Wu Tong got angry and said, "You're still laughing! You're going to keep kissing me, right?"
Xiao Yuncheng narrowed his eyes and pecked Wu Tong's palm, muttering, "Yes, the kiss is not enough."
Wu Tong was at a loss, and was pulled into Xiao Yuncheng's arms for another long kiss. Until Wu Tong gently pushed his shoulder, Xiao Yuncheng reluctantly let him go, watching him gasping for breath in his arms, his body floating up and down, his long hair resting on Wu Tong's cheek, covering half of his face, and the drooping hair was blown by his exhaled breath, jumping up and down.
Xiao Yuncheng tucked his hair behind his ears, patted Wu Tong's back gently, and said, "Did Xu Ze... say anything to you?"
Wu Tong shook her head against him, her hair rubbing against his neck, itchy and soft, really like a soft little white cat lying in his arms and acting coquettishly.
Wu Tong paused and said, "How did you find me here?"
"Little painter, do you still need to ask me this?"
Yes, the bracelet was also a signal he left for Xiao Yuncheng.
Wu Tong raised the corners of his lips and looked up at Xiao Yuncheng: "Then how did our Captain Xiao interpret it? Can you share it?"
"Actually, I deduced it based on your bracelet: you left very obvious traces on beads three, seven, and twelfth, namely the old factory construction drawings, magnetite, and accurate longitude and latitude. This is already a very accurate location; the knot of the bracelet also hints to me, Xu Ze, that there is a tea greenhouse here, right?"
Wu Tong could not deny it.
"Actually, I didn't understand what the three knots were for at the time. I thought you were asking me to find the three special beads, since they were stuck in front of the beads like that. But when I heard that the greenhouse had a code, I realized what the three knots meant."
This bracelet has eighteen beads in total and three knots, which is eighteen times three. The code is: 054.
Wu Tong nodded and praised: "Okay, very smart."
Xiao Yuncheng paused, then continued, "But the color of that bracelet, I didn't expect it to be like that..."
A shocking yet empty sky-blue sea of flowers.
Wu Tong narrowed his eyes, a barely perceptible emotion flashing through his eyes. He said, "Do you know why?"
"Xu Ze is a severely paranoid patient. He's trying to... use this behavior to tell me that he's willing to sacrifice a lot for me."
"Do you still remember the number five hundred and seventy-six?" Wu Tong looked at Xiao Yuncheng.
Of course he remembered, and Xu Ze's voice appearing out of nowhere echoed in his ears again.
After five hundred and seventy-six failures, I finally imprisoned this sky.
"He also expressed that he wouldn't accept my betrayal. He wanted to imprison me, just like the greenhouse back then. No matter how pure the color of the tea leaves he cultivated looked, they were actually dirty tactics and a symbol of his bigotry."
No matter how beautiful the scene is, it will be shattered.
Xiao Yuncheng stroked his hair and said, "Is he saying that you betrayed him?"
"I have never betrayed anyone. He betrayed himself." Wu Tong said bluntly.
They originally had the same goal, but as for what happened in the middle and what they became, it all depended on their individual decisions - obviously, Xu Ze chose to sink together.
"He tried to take over Chen Xiuping's drug trafficking business. No, he tried to take it over directly."
Since one bone cannot feed these two mad dogs, they have no choice but to kill each other. The winner will enjoy all the fruits, while the loser will lose food or even his life.
Xiao Yuncheng pondered for a moment and finally understood the meaning. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Wu Tong yawning. Wu Tong's eyes began to mist up and look watery. Xiao Yuncheng let Wu Tong lie beside him. The two hugged each other tightly, passing their body temperature to each other.
"Captain Xiao, we scouted the greenhouse and brought back a Camellia sinensis plant."
Xiao Yuncheng read the clue report carefully, and the person on the other end of the phone continued, "The color of the flower of this tea plant is very special, it is..."
#87CEEB
"This is a sky blue color. Xu Ze planted different varieties of tea to create this blue tea."
Xiao Yuncheng wiped his chin and asked in confusion, "How did he grow it? Where did he grow it? In the greenhouse?"
He quickly overturned this suspicion. The greenhouse obviously did not meet the conditions for cultivating flower mutations. Xu Ze could only study mutations elsewhere and then send the successful ones to the greenhouse.
But when they rescued Wu Tong, no one knew whether Xu Ze was there or not. The sudden explosion disrupted their steps again, but there were still clues.
When Wu Tong woke up, he saw Xiao Yuncheng sitting next to him, holding some information in his hand with a serious expression. Wu Tong was not in the mood after just waking up, so he just raised his hand and tugged at his sleeve.
"Awake? Are you hungry?" Xiao Yuncheng felt the movement and lowered his head, asking softly.
Wu Tong shook his head silently, then reached out and took the information from his hand. He lay flat on his back and read what was written on it. He seemed to have noticed something, so he brought the paper to his face and squinted his eyes to see the words clearly.
Xiao Yuncheng didn't say anything, just waited for Wu Tong. Only after Wu Tong returned the information to him did he say, "How is it?"
"There's no problem, it's just that the direction of investigation is a bit off." Wu Tong buried his face in the quilt and spoke in a muffled voice.
"Where is it?"
"Xu Ze doesn't specialize in studying flower mutations. It's definitely not going to work for you to investigate there. Even if you could find something, it would be a waste of time, and by then Xu Ze would have already run away."
Wu Tong opened his eyes again, and a pair of slightly squinted eyes peeked out from under the quilt, looking sleepy.
The sunlight from outside the window has already shone in, covering Wu Tong's body with the quilt. Wu Tong is facing against the light, the sunlight outlines his hair, and the whole person seems to be glowing.
Xiao Yuncheng couldn't help but smile even more when he saw this. He grabbed Wu Tong and held him in his arms from behind, resting his chin on the top of his head. Xiao Yuncheng nuzzled his head and said, "Indeed, but I think Xu Ze, as a doctor, would do more research on flower mutations. This would help us find his purpose and where he is going."
Wu Tong shook his head after hearing this: "No, after the greenhouse was destroyed, he won't care about the mutation of the flower species anymore."
"I've already escaped."
If you can't trap something, no matter how hard you try, it's useless.
Xiao Yuncheng thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Then his next step will be to continue looking for Chen Xiuping's whereabouts."
Wu Tong nodded in agreement and said, "But Chen Hao is dead. It would take a lot of effort for him to find him."
The most important thing now is to find his whereabouts and wait for Chen Xiuping to appear in the police's sight, so that it will be easier to catch him in one fell swoop.
Wu Tong didn't have any serious injuries, just some old ailments. Although Xiao Yuncheng was injured, fortunately he was in good health. The two of them rested in the hospital for a week and were discharged.
On that day, Xiao Yuncheng finished his work and bought some buns for Wu Tong who was in the car. Although the police had tried their best to find Xu Ze's whereabouts during the week, they still couldn't find any clues. Xiao Yuncheng sighed slowly, and the passenger door opened with a click.
"Here, which one do you want to eat?" Wu Tong handed two divided bags to Xiao Yuncheng. The two of them divided the buns and started eating.
"Going back to the Municipal Bureau?" Xiao Yuncheng put away the garbage bag and looked at Wu Tong who was still eating slowly.
Wu Tong nodded, Xiao Yuncheng started the car and drove out of the underground parking lot.
"Yes... Yeah, right here. Stop for a moment."
Shi Qian was comparing surveillance footage with the technical investigators to look for clues when the door behind him was suddenly pushed open and Xiao Yuncheng and Wu Tong walked in.
Shi Qian glanced sideways, and when he saw who it was, his eyes lit up: "Captain Xiao! Wu Tong!"
Xiao Yuncheng nodded, and Wu Tong smiled at him. Shi Qian put down his work and came over to them. "Are you done recovering?"
"Well, it's not a serious injury, it's no big deal." Xiao Yuncheng replied.
But the next second, Shi Qian looked at Xiao Yuncheng with disdain: "I didn't ask you, I asked Tongtong."
Xiao Yuncheng: “…”
