Chapter 98: One thing at a time
Qu Le put on a pair of lightweight lace-up shoes and stood in front of the mirror, stomping hard to ensure that there would be no hindrance to her movements.
The girl in the mirror is wearing a specially made nightgown that covers her arms and legs. The high-waisted tights elongate her legs to the extreme, and the pure black tights are neatly wrapped into her waist belt, which perfectly outlines her waist that is not usually visible.
Qu Le raised his muscular arms, gathered a handful of hair, and tightly fastened the soft knife and pocket gun to his waist.
Then he raised his hand to confirm the communication buckle on his ear.
Luo Chuan leaned casually against the door of the room, his red stand-up collar coat gleaming slightly in the dark corridor. He held a black and purple quartz watch in his hand, fiddling with it constantly.
The watch slid between his nimble fingers, the clasp clicking.
His thoughts were disturbed by the sound and became even more tormented.
The door opened with a creak.
Qu Le walked out from inside.
Luo Chuan glanced at her and casually handed her the watch in his hand.
"With it."
Qu Le took a closer look and saw that this was the high-tech watch that Luo Chuan wore when he was carrying out the theft mission.
Cameras, infrared rays, and even low- and medium-level password locks can be directly interfered with.
There are also some high-precision telescopes, voice changers, radio wave interception and other functions, which are the most precious things in Luochuan on a daily basis.
Qu Le took the watch and jokingly asked, "Why? Are you willing to lend me your old partner?"
Luo Chuan lowered his head, buried his face in the high collar of his coat, and replied sullenly, "You are my old partner."
Qu Le didn't respond much. He took the watch from Luo Chuan's hand, put it on his wrist, turned around and walked out the door.
"Thank you."
Luo Chuan looked at Qu Le's resolute back and asked softly, "Will you consider it again?"
The leisurely moonlight poured into the empty corridor. Qu Le stopped and his shoulders rose and fell with his heavy breathing. The shadow cast on the wall shrank as if crying.
"Luochuan, do you remember what Master told us back then?"
Luo Chuan lowered his head, "Master said too much, I don't remember it."
"You lied to me again," Qu Le laughed playfully. "Master said that we are so similar that we seem to be the same person. That's why we are the most compatible partners."
"You can't possibly not understand my thoughts."
"Likewise, I understand you."
"I won't ask you to be with me," Luo Chuan lowered his head. His usually cheerful and cheerful voice was gone, replaced by a deep, hoarse voice. "I just hope you can promise me one thing: live a good life."
Qu Le took a deep breath and chuckled, "Luo Chuan, you're too greedy. 'Being well' and 'alive' are obviously two different things."
"From the time I met you at the age of nine, until I followed my brother to Italy at the age of fourteen, those five years were the most unforgettable five years of my life."
"You brought a ray of light into my painful and numb life."
"But Luochuan, you have to know that dependence is not love, and a thin rope in the wind and rain is not a home."
"I never understood love," Qu Le looked up, blinking as he looked out the window, "until I saw Cheng Yi changed."
"He became so completely and completely transformed, it was like he was reborn."
"Cheng Yi found his key."
Qu Le turned his face slightly, and Luo Chuan could see that in those indifferent fox eyes, there were some crystal lights and shadows flickering in the moonlight.
"When I used the excuse of an explosion to escape from that hellish place, my master gave me the last words, and I've always remembered them."
"He told me: 'The lock of the heart is the hardest to open in the world. Even if I have the steadiest hands and the sharpest hearing, I can't even unlock my own.'"
"Luochuan, we are both locks, and neither of us can unlock the other."
After the music ended, the silence in the environment came again. The two stood in the middle of the corridor, one in front and one behind, only an arm's length away from each other, but their hearts could not touch each other.
They depend on each other, yet they escape from each other.
Two people who are too similar can never be together.
Whenever I see the other person, I will be reminded of those painful days, just like a mirror that leaves me nowhere to escape.
Luochuan said nothing more.
There was no expression on his handsome face, and his golden hair was shrouded in darkness, losing its former luster and covered with a layer of gray mist.
What Qu Le said was absolutely right. The two of them were so similar that Luo Chuan knew that what he said to Qu Le was bullshit.
But that's how people are. What they think in their hearts is one thing, their rationality is another, and what they do is another.
Qu Le didn't give Luo Chuan a chance to speak again. He raised his hand to gather his waist-length hair and said calmly, "Don't waste time. Let's go."
The ink color of the night is so thick that it is inhuman.
On the empty street, there was only a streamlined silver sports car speeding from a distance.
Luo Chuan sat in the seat of the self-driving car, typing rapidly on the keyboard.
According to the information Luochuan had, Bai Yao placed the drug test data related to Cheng Yi in the genetic research department of Charité Hospital.
But he hid the genetic test report in the Fuso Embassy.
Although both things are important, Jiang Luan still has ways to deal with the medicine, so their most important task now is to destroy the "mother copy".
Luo Chuan simulated the surveillance layout and armed alert map inside the embassy and observed it carefully.
"If my guess is correct," Luo Chuan pointed to a room on the fourth floor of the embassy, "there must be something very important hidden here."
"There's also water cooling covering the entire room on the outside of the walls. I guess this is used to cool large computers."
"Furthermore, the guards outside this room never stop, and even their shift changes overlap for more than half an hour."
"The density of infrared radiation outside is comparable to that of the Louvre Museum. If I'm not mistaken, it's even been modified to connect to a neurological drug pipeline."
“…”
Qu Le, who was sitting in the passenger seat, smacked his lips, not knowing how to react for a moment.
This Bai Yao is really cautious.
The last time she saw Bai Yao in Fuso, she felt that this man was thoughtful and ruthless enough.
What's even more rare is that this man has a sophistication that doesn't match his age.
That sense of calmness was completely different from the kingly pressure on Cheng Yi. It was a sense of control that could see through people's hearts at a glance and was calm and effortless.
No wonder he has been able to fight Cheng Yi for so many years.
Luo Chuan continued tapping away at the computer. "I can help you tamper with the surveillance footage, and I'll try to remove some of the infrared defense nets. Destroying them all will make them suspicious, and that won't be good for you."
"As for the guards, be careful."
Qu Le twisted her wrist and tightened the watch Luo Chuan gave her by two more inches. "That's enough."
