Han Li woke up in the middle of the night.
There was no light in the room, and everything around him seemed blurry and hazy in the dim night, almost making him think he was still in a dream.
The phone deep in my pocket vibrated twice.
He blinked slowly. Although no new images were being forced into his mind, the aftereffects of the high fever still lingered on his body, bringing a certain drowsy and uncertain feeling of weightlessness.
Han Li took out his cell phone, and the screen flashed with a glowing blue light, lighting up his cheek.
There are two new pieces of information.
The first message was from Zhao Jun, informing him of the progress of the casino incident.
Just yesterday, the police raided the casino with sufficient and detailed evidence, and shut it down directly for tax evasion and suspected of multiple serious illegal activities. Several casino managers were also held accountable - the whole thing went surprisingly smoothly, with almost no obstacles.
Although the forces in the east did not seem to be making any movement on the surface.
But if you look into it more closely, you'll find that it urgently withdrew from several areas where it had previously cooperated with casinos a few days ago.
It's like cutting off the tail to survive.
A strategy to cut off the poisonous and rotten limbs in order to preserve the whole.
——Rather than saying that he won, it would be better to say that the other party pushed the casino out as a shield and scapegoat.
Han Li frowned, thinking while tapping the screen absentmindedly and opened the first message.
The next second, he was stunned and could hardly believe what he saw.
Han Li held his breath and read the words on the screen again word by word -
"The wanted criminal you asked us to pay attention to has been found. His current address is: xxxx Nursing Home."
...Found it?
The man who saved him eight years ago - found?
Han Li's fingers gripping the phone tightened involuntarily, his fingertips showing a pale white from the excessive force. His breathing became a little disordered, his mind was in a mess, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.
At this moment, the light in the room was suddenly turned on with a "click".
The sudden strong light stimulation made Han Li close his eyes involuntarily. He blinked away the physiological tears that overflowed from the corners of his eyes and turned his head to look in the direction where the sound came from.
The tall boy stood by the door, wearing a loose T-shirt with wrinkles all over the fabric. His hair was messy and sticking up on all sides, and there were red marks on his face. He squinted his eyes and looked at Han Li.
Han Li loosened his grip on the phone. For some reason, the moment he saw the other person, his heart seemed to calm down a lot.
…It’s magical.
Shen Kong yawned, his voice lazy and casual: "Awake?"
Han Li nodded: "Yeah."
Shen Kong frowned, leaned against the door frame with his arms folded, and asked:
"So, what's with your fever? Didn't it happen before? Didn't you go to the hospital?"
His occasional fever was probably not caused by physiological reasons. Han Li knew this very well, so he just shook his head and answered vaguely:
"Well, it's okay. I took medicine. Maybe I'm just too tired these past two days..."
Shen Kong stepped in, touched Han Li's forehead with the back of his hand, and placed his other hand on his own forehead for comparison.
He raised his eyebrows: "It's okay, the temperature has dropped."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his wrist, which was about to evacuate, being grasped by a cold hand. Shen Kong couldn't help but look down in surprise.
Han Li looked up at him from bottom to top, his dark eyes flashing with strange light under his long eyelashes, and there was an elusive look in his eyes that flashed by, and when Chen Kong looked again, it was gone.
Han Li loosened his hand, and his fingertips seemed to still feel the warm and delicate touch of the inside of the other person's wrist.
He dropped his eyes calmly.
At this moment, a thought suddenly popped into his mind -
Han Li was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Chen Kong who was standing beside the bed. He hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "By the way...that..."
Shen Kong came back to his senses: "Hmm?"
Han Li felt a little embarrassed at this time. He took a deep breath, turned his head slightly, and asked in the calmest voice possible: "Would you like to come to my house tomorrow?"
Perhaps he had ulterior motives. As soon as he spoke, Han Li realized the ambiguity in his words and quickly explained:
"Well, that's right, actually my place is bigger and more suitable for--"
Han Li hurriedly changed his words and explained in a panic: "Wait, I don't mean to dislike this place..."
Shen Kong burst out laughing.
Han Li's cheeks couldn't help but feel hot. He lowered his head and began to seriously wonder if his brain was damaged by the fever.
Shen Kong looked down at the watch on his wrist: It was almost three o'clock.
He yawned lazily and decided to make a quick decision: "Okay, let's do it after school tomorrow."
Han Li pursed his lips, involuntarily curling them into a tiny arc, and the tension and drowsiness just now seemed to be eliminated in an instant.
Shen Kong turned around and walked into the room, turning off the lights in the living room.
The room was shrouded in darkness, and the night fell heavily into the gaps between the walls.
Han Li turned on the screen of his mobile phone, and a short line of black words lit up again on the fluorescent blue screen, stinging his eyes.
He subconsciously clenched his fingers and took a deep breath. His mind was no longer as confused as it had been when he had just seen the news. Now he was able to sort out the messy thoughts in his mind and really think about what to do.
Han Li paused and replied slowly: "I understand, I will go there as soon as possible."
Seeing the words "Message Sent" on the screen, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.
——Perhaps, after tomorrow, he will finally get the answer he wants.
Whether it was the answer eight years ago or the answer now...
·
the next day.
When Shen Kong woke up, Han Li had already left.
There was a short note on the table, with Han Li's handwriting on it: "The porridge is warming on the fire, and the sandwiches are in the refrigerator."
At the end, there is a small smiley face symbol and a small arrow symbolizing page turning.
Chen Kong followed the prompt and turned over the note, only to see two lines of short messages written on the back: "I have something urgent to do today, so I have asked for leave. See you after school this afternoon."
Just as it was written on the note, Han Li did not come to school all day today, and other people in the school had already gotten used to his whereabouts. Instead, they felt more at ease that he no longer came to school every day.
When the class was about to end, Shen Kong received a message on his phone from Han Li:
"I'm sorry, I have a lot of things to do today. I'm afraid I won't be able to get back to school in time. I'll have someone drive to the school gate to pick you up. See you at my house later."
Chen Kong didn't care much and simply replied with a "hmm".
Sitting in the car, Han Li lowered his eyes and stared at the short characters on the mobile phone screen, a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes.
He turned off the screen of his mobile phone, turned his head to look at the sea of people and cars passing by outside the car window, raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose with some fatigue.
After the casino was shut down, the follow-up handling and conclusion of some cooperative projects urgently required his decision, including the annexation and integration of some areas there - after all, there is a new power vacuum there, and it is a good time for expansion and invasion.
Since leaving Cheng Chen's house this morning, Han Li has been busy non-stop until now, and finally found the opportunity to meet his old friend.
The car stopped slowly and someone outside opened the door for him.
The blue and white sign of the sanatorium was coated with a layer of golden light by the setting sun. In the quiet courtyard, the only sound could be heard: the breeze rustling the grass and trees.
Han Li took the folder handed to him by the person next to him and followed the person leading the way into the sanatorium.
He skimmed through its contents on the way.
The kidnapper's name is Zhou He, he is 39 years old, he worked for Blackwater for a year, after returning to China he joined an illegal mercenary organization, he is ruthless and specializes in doing dirty work, he disappeared after the accident eight years ago, until last month in an ordinary traffic accident, his true identity was finally confirmed, but because he is still injured, he is now being held in a sanatorium, waiting to be formally imprisoned after his injury.
Han Li's gaze lingered on the photo for a long time.
It is indeed this face.
But for some reason, he always had a strange sense of disharmony, as if... something was different from what he remembered.
He stared at the closed ward in front of him, took a deep breath slowly, pushed the door and walked in.
The author has something to say: I will be going online tomorrow and will update 10,000 words a day. I hope everyone will support the genuine version and come to play with me every day.
