Eleven feathers
Ye Linghan was handcuffed by the men in black and unable to move. He was afraid of waking up the security guards, so he didn't dare to make any loud noise. He just struggled secretly, trying to break free.
The monitoring room was eerily quiet; the only sound was the rustling of fabric.
For a moment, Ye Linghan even suspected that this person might be Yin Chen, because both in terms of body shape and posture, they were very similar, but lacked that familiar feeling, which made him feel a little uneasy.
The sound of the gunshot seemed to penetrate his soul, forcing him to have no time to care about the people behind him.
Ye Linghan stared at the screen, watching the bullet fly out of the gun in Duan Jiu's hand and head straight for Wang De.
"Ah--" The security guard woke up at some point, saw the scene in front of him, and then saw the picture on the screen, and screamed.
Ye Linghan's heart skipped a beat, but the man in black behind him remained calm. He waved his hand gently, and the man fell down again as if he had been drugged.
Looking back at the screen, Ye Linghan silently worried for Wang De in his heart. For a moment, the bullet seemed to be moving in slow motion in his eyes, as if he could see its trajectory, getting closer and closer to Wang De inch by inch.
Wang De opened his mouth, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to look straight at the end. He could only close his eyes and silently wait for death to come.
However, the expected situation did not occur. The bullet passed by his ear and hit the target.
Ye Linghan breathed a sigh of relief instantly.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door. Ye Linghan's spirits tensed up again, and then Xu Zilian's voice came, "Teacher, where are you?"
The monitoring room is not far from the bathroom, they are on the same corridor, and the sound insulation of the monitoring room is not that strong, so Ye Linghan can hear his voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linghan keenly felt the strength of the person behind him loosen for a moment. He exerted force with his arm and hit the man's abdomen with his elbow.
The man in black also sensed Ye Linghan's ferocious aura and dodged backwards, but Ye Linghan was even faster and accurately hit the man in black's abdomen, causing him to let out a muffled groan from the corner of his mouth.
After hearing the noise, Ye Linghan was about to escape when he suddenly felt a pain in his neck. He fell into someone's arms and lost consciousness.
That night, Ye Linghan dreamed again. The scene in the dream was still that dark corridor. Every dream was like pressing the restart button. He would always experience it all over again, but each time there would be new plots added.
In the dream, Ye Linghan walked alone into the darkness in front of him. He had walked this road countless times in his dreams. This time, the gentle female voice still lingered in his ears, and at the same time, an ethereal, almost transparent white figure appeared and floated in front of Ye Linghan.
I can't see the face clearly, I can only make out the body shape roughly.
"Who are you?" Ye Linghan stood up and stretched out his hand to touch, because he knew it was a dream. At the same time, he also felt that this person seemed not to hurt him. However, when his fingers were about to touch, the phantom instantly dissipated. Ye Linghan hurriedly withdrew his hand, and the dissipated disgust condensed again.
He took a few tentative steps forward, and suddenly his feet felt empty. The familiar feeling of weightlessness once again filled his body, and he woke up from his dream.
"Huh..." Ye Linghan took a breath and sat up, raising his hand to wipe the tiny beads of sweat from his forehead. In the room, only a trace of moonlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto Ye Linghan.
How I came back...
Ye Linghan looked around in the dappled light cast by the moon. It was the apartment where he lived.
He recalled what happened when he was awake. He remembered that he first went to the shooting range, and then saw Wang De and a man who called himself Duan Jiu confronting each other in the monitoring room. Then... he wanted to rescue him, but was stopped by someone.
And the posture... is particularly ambiguous.
He didn't like physical contact with strangers, but he didn't feel disgusted by that person.
Who was he? Could it be Yin Chen? The thought flashed through Ye Linghan's mind again, but he wasn't entirely sure. He had never mentioned his visit to the underground casino to anyone. Even if it was just a coincidence, what was Yin Chen doing there? And he had been able to pinpoint the location of the surveillance room, suggesting he was quite familiar with it.
Apart from Yin Chen, he couldn't think of any other candidate. After all, he was lying at home safely. It was impossible that he was knocked unconscious and thrown on the ground, and then a kind-hearted person found him and called the police to send him back. If that was the case, it was too ridiculous.
Ye Linghan thought about it over and over again, and decided not to think about it anymore. Instead of making unfounded guesses, it would be better to ask someone.
He took out his cell phone from beside him in the moonlight. When he turned on the screen, many messages burst out instantly. The person who sent the message was exactly the person Ye Linghan wanted to find, but the time span was a bit long.
Because it was already three o'clock in the morning.
The latest time the message was sent was twelve o'clock in the morning.
Ye Linghan opened his phone and clicked into the chat box with Xu Zilian.
Xu Zilian: "Teacher, where have you been?"
"Teacher, what happened?"
According to the analysis of the above messages, they should have been sent by Xu Zilian when he couldn't find anyone to send them after he had been away from the monitoring room for a long time.
"Teacher, when I went to look for you, I saw you fainted in the bathroom, so I sent you home."
"Teacher, when you see this, could you please send me a message? That way I can feel more at ease."
What a sin! Which wicked person would throw himself on the bathroom floor? When Ye Linghan saw the message, his eyelids drooped with anger.
He replied to Xu Zilian's message. After all, he had been unconscious for so long, so he had to let her know that he was safe. "I'm awake now. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened. It seems that I really need to practice boxing when I have time. Ye Linghan subconsciously rubbed his aching neck.
Of course, he did not completely believe what Xu Zilian said, because he did not believe that he had fainted in the bathroom and was sent home as he said. It did not make sense logically. Normally, if you see someone fainted, you should choose to send the person to the hospital and wake them up, instead of letting the person continue to faint.
Maybe those messages were compiled by someone and it’s not good to live well.
But because of this, he became more determined to find the truth.
Some muddy waters are destined to not be bypassed and can only be waded through.
Ye Linghan flipped to a job application app on his phone. There were still many red message numbers on it that had not been clicked. The major Ye Linghan studied was very unpopular, not because it was not valued, but because the risk factor was too high and few people applied for it.
After all, applying for software jobs requires applying from all over the country, which is a good place to improve KPIs not only for job seekers but also for companies.
Ye Linghan had looked for a job before, but was always stopped by Yin Chen, who said that if something happened to him, he would not have the blood source that suited his taste, so the software has been abandoned to this day.
Last time he made a point of noting the name.
Ye Linghan opened the app and tried to search for "Secret News Investigation Agency", but he didn't expect that it was actually found.
Ye Linghan clicked on it without hesitation, but the introduction seemed a bit too simple, with only Su Mo and Yao Qingluan as the people listed. He didn't know if it was incomplete or for some other reason, but when he jumped to the application interface, he found that there was only one recruitment information on the entire screen.
When Ye Linghan saw what he needed to do specifically, his fingers hesitated, somewhat struggling over whether to click the button with the words "I want to apply".
The next day, Ye Linghan got up very early. Because he woke up once in the early morning and tossed and turned for a long time, he only took a short nap afterwards and did not sleep very deeply. He simply packed up and went out.
Ye Linghan relied on his memory to come to the downstairs of the residential building where he had met once before.
He raised his head and looked at the position of the second window, thinking secretly in his heart, he didn't know if there was anyone inside if he came here rashly. If no one was there, wouldn't he be empty-handed?
The night before, Ye Linghan finally gave up on communicating on the APP and decided to come directly offline. After all, it was not far away. Besides, seeing that the number of replies from the other party was zero, he guessed that the other party was just a decoration.
Ye Linghan pretended to tidy up his clothes and went upstairs with the rolled-up interview materials in his hand.
He raised his hand and pressed the doorbell. Coincidentally, there was someone in the room. After the doorbell rang a few times, the door was pushed open from the inside.
The door was only slightly open, and Yao Qingluan peeked out, only to see Ye Linghan standing outside. Since few people came here, she was a little surprised for a moment, but it had been a few days since they last met, so she couldn't remember who the person in front of her was, but she just felt that he looked familiar.
"Excuse me...who are you looking for?" Yao Qingluan looked at Ye Linghan and thought he had walked into the wrong room.
A smile appeared on Ye Linghan's face. His face was very gentle and did not look aggressive, which made it easy for the other party to let down their guard.
"Hello, we meet again."
The sound and the image brought back some memories for Yao Qingluan, "You are not..." Because she had wronged him last time, Yao Qingluan's face showed apology.
Ye Linghan nodded, "Yes, it's me."
Perhaps because the door had been open for a long time, a boy's voice could be heard from inside the house, accompanied by the sound of footsteps approaching from afar. "Aluan, who's outside?"
Ye Linghan remembered this voice; it was the other person who interrogated him last time, Su Mo.
Yao Qingluan turned around and said, "It's Mr. Ye."
"Mr. Ye?" Su Mo asked in confusion and walked closer.
"It's you. Is there anything else that brings you here?"
Su Mo thought over the misunderstanding that happened last time in his mind, and felt that nothing had happened that could make Ye Linghan come back.
Ye Linghan raised his hand and waved the resume in his hand, saying with a smile, "I'm here for the interview."
"Interview?" Su Mo's voice rose a few degrees, and he turned his head to glance at Yao Qingluan beside him.
Yao Qingluan, who was standing next to him, also looked at Su Mo with confusion on her face.
Ye Linghan remained calm. He pulled out his phone and quickly fiddled with it before placing the page he had found in front of Su Mo and Yao Qingluan. "Here, this."
Su Mo took the phone, and Yao Qingluan also leaned over. The two looked at each other and then looked at Ye Linghan at the same time.
"Are you sure you want to come for an interview...for the cleaning position?" Su Mo asked Ye Linghan in disbelief.
Ye Linghan nodded calmly, "Yes, is there any problem? Do you have other work for me?"
