Chapter 45
Xiao Yuncheng shook his hand and led him out of the office.
"What's wrong?" Wu Tong was confused. He looked back at the busy policemen in the office and felt a little puzzled. Shouldn't they be waiting for their results inside?
But Xiao Yuncheng said nothing. He just silently took Wu Tong to the office. Xiao Yuncheng closed the door and pressed Wu Tong against it. Wu Tong was stunned for a moment and began to struggle: "Xiao Yuncheng, are you sick? This is... the police station!"
Xiao Yuncheng smiled ruffianly, with no intention of letting Wu Tong go. He moved closer to Wu Tong, causing Wu Tong to close her eyes unconsciously. The imagined touch did not come, and Wu Tong tentatively opened her eyes, only to meet Xiao Yuncheng's playful eyes. Xiao Yuncheng laughed: "I didn't say I wanted to kiss you, this is the police station."
Wu Tong: “…”
Let’s not talk about this bullshit love for now!
Wu Tong suddenly broke free from Xiao Yuncheng, crawled onto the sofa, and covered his face with a pillow, deciding to break up with Xiao Yuncheng. Xiao Yuncheng sat down next to Wu Tong, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and reached out to pull his arm: "You're wrong, let me see."
Wu Tong must be blushing like a peach now, but she would not let him succeed. She defended her face desperately, and Xiao Yuncheng did not move at all.
"Tongtong, I was wrong~"
Seeing that he couldn't shake Wu Tong at all, Xiao Yuncheng had to start to give in. Wu Tong was also fooled by this and finally Xiao Yuncheng took the pillow away from him.
Xiao Yuncheng held the person in his arms and coaxed him gently, and finally he managed to calm him down. Just as the two of them sat up, Lin Chen rushed in again.
Xiao Yuncheng: “…”
Wu Tong: “…”
Lin Chen: “...what are you doing?”
The scene was very awkward for a moment. Xiao Yuncheng cleared his throat and said unhappily, "What are you doing?"
"The location has been determined. They asked me to inform you that you can set off."
Xiao Yuncheng looked at Wu Tong beside him. The location was revealed, which meant they were about to fight this final battle. Wu Tong shook his head at him. Xiao Yuncheng breathed a sigh of relief and stood up: "Let's go."
Wu Tong said nothing more and followed Xiao Yuncheng out of the office. The police were already ready, standing in a neat line at the entrance of the Municipal Bureau. Xiao Yuncheng looked down at them and shouted, "Let's go!"
Along the way, the positioning machine kept beeping. Xiao Yuncheng followed the positioning and drove the car much more steadily. Lin Chen and Shi Qian were very relieved. Relying on Wu Tong's presence, they complained without restraint: "Captain Xiao used to drive like a drag racer. Tongtong, you don't know, he can show you drifting on the road!"
Wu Tong nodded in agreement. Xiao Yuncheng didn't respond. Lin Chen and Shi Qian were talking even more enthusiastically, almost wanting to criticize Xiao Yuncheng. "He used to be so ruthless in handling cases. He didn't care about anything. He would just grab his weapons and go in. Within ten minutes, he could pull out the head."
Wu Tong smiled easily. For some reason, Wu Tong felt much more relaxed since being with them. Seeing Wu Tong smiling happily, Xiao Yuncheng surprisingly did not scold them. They were so noisy, as if they were going out for a trip, not to solve a case.
One kilometer away from the destination, Xiao Yuncheng asked them to park the car in advance and planned to walk there. It was noon and the sun was so scorching that people could not open their eyes.
Xiao Yuncheng arranged the team and led everyone to the factory. Wu Tong walked beside Xiao Yuncheng, playing with the gun in his hand. This was approved by Murong Tonghai. At that time, Murong Tonghai held the gun in both hands and walked in front of Wu Tong. Wu Tong hugged Murong Tonghai, as if to comfort him.
"Kid, it's up to you." Murong Tonghai said, handing the pistol to Wu Tong. Wu Tong looked at the gun in his hand and said to Murong Tonghai, "Thank you, Uncle Tonghai."
Murong Tonghai waved to him. In Wu Tong's eyes, he looked very similar to Murong Xu at the beginning, as if Murong Xu was standing beside him and making the same movements as Murong Tonghai. Wu Tong laughed and bowed solemnly to him and Murong Xu.
Xiao Yuncheng's warm hand pulled him back. Wu Tong looked up and saw Xiao Yuncheng looking at him gently, mouthing to him, "It's okay."
Wu Tong held his hand tightly, and their fingers were interlocked, as if the world was witnessing the pure love between them. Although they would face gunpowder and blood in the future, they were no longer afraid.
Xu Ze stood still in the middle of the factory. In front of him knelt a man. His face was unclear. He was covered in wounds and blood. He knelt there motionless. It was impossible to tell whether he was dead or alive.
"Stop pretending to be dead." Xu Ze kicked the man without any hesitation. The man fell to the ground, revealing his face - it was Chen Xiuping!
Xu Ze looked at him with disdain, as if he were a dead dog. Chen Xiuping stared at Xu Ze with his eyes wide open, opening his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Xu Ze sneered, "Why? Are you surprised to be caught by me?"
Xu Ze squatted down, with a look of regret in his eyes. He lowered his voice and said to Chen Xiuping, "It's all because of you. Tongtong doesn't like me anymore..."
Chen Xiuping's eyes widened again, as if to accuse him of his nonsense, but Xu Ze ignored him and just kept talking to himself: "If it wasn't you at the beginning, why would Tongtong hate me so much now?"
Xu Ze could see Wu Tong's feelings for Xiao Yuncheng. It was true that he was unwilling to accept it, but he had no choice. It was he who abandoned Wu Tong and even almost killed Wu Tong. Xu Ze obviously did not realize where he was wrong. He even wanted to compensate Wu Tong and dreamed that Wu Tong might still have feelings for him, but obviously, these were all wishful thinking.
Xu Ze stopped talking and just asked someone to take Chen Xiuping away. They were going to Bianjiang now. Xu Ze looked at his wrist. He was wearing a sky blue bracelet on his wrist - exactly the same as Wu Tong's.
Will you find the things I left for you now? Xu Ze smiled helplessly and turned to leave.
"Boss, you have a phone!"
Xu Ze stopped in his tracks when he heard that. A phone call? Who would call him at this hour? Besides, his phone didn't have many contacts. Xu Ze beckoned the man in black to bring the phone over. The man in black quickly came over and handed the phone to Xu Ze. Xu Ze glanced at the number and froze in his tracks.
This number belongs to Wu Tong.
The phone kept vibrating, carrying Xu Ze's heartbeat. Xu Ze could hardly move. It was not until the call was about to hang up automatically that Xu Ze came to his senses and answered it.
"Hello?"
A familiar voice came over, and Xu Ze was like a beast that had been hungry for a long time. Just one word Wu Tong said made Xu Ze want to give his heart to him. Xu Ze laughed, trying his best to make his voice sound less shaky: "Tongtong."
"Where are you?"
Wu Tong's voice was very soft, and there seemed to be a lot of emptiness on his side. Wu Tong's tone was no different from any other time, and the ending tone was still soft, which would tickle the hearts of those who spoke to him.
Xu Ze really wanted to talk more with Wu Tong, so he chatted about a lot of random things. Wu Tong was patient and answered his questions one by one.
"Did you have meal?"
"I ate it," Wu Tong paused, sounding casual: "How about you?"
Xu Ze raised his head and looked at the sea surface that was vaguely visible in the distance. He breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "I ate it."
The two of them fell into silence unexpectedly, but Xu Ze was very immersed in it. No one spoke, and Xu Ze could only hear the sound of the wind blowing. Xu Ze finally spoke: "What are you doing?"
"Looking for you."
I thought Wu Tong was busy with other things, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "You...where are you?"
Wu Tong's eyes glanced at Xiao Yuncheng beside him, and Xiao Yuncheng silently mouthed to him: You go, I'll cover your rear.
Wu Tong nodded imperceptibly and said to the other side, "I have put together your painting."
I almost know your location. That’s all Xu Ze could hear.
Xu Ze paused and lowered his voice: "Are you coming alone?"
"What else?" Wu Tong asked him slowly.
Xu Ze walked out, saying, "Where are you? I'll pick you up."
Wu Tong reported a location, which was not far from where Xu Ze was, but Xu Ze insisted on picking him up. Wu Tong did not refuse. He said, "Hurry up, it's sunny outside," and hung up the phone.
Xu Ze did not delay and told his men not to leave in a hurry, then went out alone. The others didn't quite understand why their boss suddenly wanted to go out again, but they still said nothing and tied Chen Xiuping to the rack first.
Xu Ze left the factory and walked forward for less than five minutes before he saw Wu Tong on the other side of the road. Wu Tong was wearing a sky blue silk T-shirt and black jeans. The hot summer wind blew, lifting Wu Tong's hair. Wu Tong raised his hand to push it away, revealing his beautiful and clean face.
Like ice cubes in summer, cool and refreshing.
Xu Ze walked up to Wu Tong and smiled gently at him: "Why are you here?"
Wu Tong's hand blocked the sun, and a ray of sunlight penetrated through his fingers, making Wu Tong squint his eyes. Wu Tong teased him, "You came just like that? Aren't you afraid that I'll bring the police with me?"
Xu Ze had never been on guard against him, but Wu Tong felt very uncomfortable with this feeling. Wu Tong was very fair, and in the sunlight, her skin was so white that it was dazzling, like a piece of white jade covered with water droplets.
When Xu Ze came out, he brought a parasol with him. He stood to Wu Tong's right hand side very familiarly. With a swish, the parasol was safely placed above Wu Tong's head. If Xu Ze had not done those things, he would definitely still be Wu Tong's best friend.
Wu Tong didn't say anything along the way. It was Xu Ze who was chatting with him, and he only responded occasionally. Xu Ze seemed to be used to it and was not embarrassed by Wu Tong's attitude. He was very happy to see Wu Tong, so he didn't care much about Wu Tong's neglect.
Back at the old factory, Wu Tong stepped over the steel pipe that lay tilted on the ground and walked straight in. Xu Ze followed him half a body length away from him. The scene was strangely harmonious. The people in the factory had some doubts on their faces, but no one dared to speak out because their boss was right behind Wu Tong.
Wu Tong stopped and turned his head to Xu Ze and said, "Where is Chen Xiuping?"
Of course Wu Tong still wanted revenge. Xu Ze smiled at him and waved to his men without turning back, signaling them to bring Chen Xiuping up. In just three minutes, the disheveled Chen Xiuping was brought over.
