In the French restaurant, the soft sound of the piano flows like a spring, the surroundings are very quiet, and the guests at the nearby tables are talking and laughing quietly, elegant and quality.
Ye Huan was sitting on the side of the restaurant, twisting and turning and feeling a little restless.
Of course, Gao Shengnan knew that this man couldn't understand the French menu, so he took the initiative to order two beef ribs, several appetizers, appetizers, desserts, and a bottle of Burgundy red wine. Seeing how she was familiar with it, she seemed to be familiar with it.
It's very familiar here.
The waiter bowed politely to the two of them and stepped back.
Ye Huan couldn't help but ask: "Do you often come here to eat?"
Gao Shengnan laughed and said: "How is that possible? I, a poor policeman, can't afford to come here. My brother occasionally comes to the capital to visit me, so I went out with him to have a meal. If I hadn't caught someone who was taken advantage of today, I really wouldn't have the confidence.
Come in..."
Ye Huan could only touch his nose in frustration: "...You always say it's expensive here, how expensive is it?"
Gao Shengnan smiled so hard that his eyes turned into two crescent moons: "The meal I just ordered is probably equivalent to three months of my salary..."
Ye Huan wiped his sweat, you are so rude, you are not very familiar with us...
As if he was deliberately irritating him, Gao Shengnan slowly calculated the bill: "The appetizer, main course, and dessert that I ordered just now cost about 800 US dollars. Well, that doesn't count the big one. The big one is the bottle of erectile dysfunction."
The market price of Gendy red wine is more than 2,000 US dollars, it may be more expensive here..."
Ye Huan was sweating more and more, the muscles on his face were obviously spasming, and his heart was throbbing with pain.
If you have money, you have money. Isn’t it too outrageous to spend tens of thousands on a meal? Ye Huanke has never had such a luxurious meal. This billionaire’s consumption concept is still stuck in food stalls and cold beer.
On grade.
Gao Shengnan looked at him with interest, as if his face was a masterpiece, and the more he looked at him, the more he smiled.
"Are you feeling distressed?" Gao Shengnan asked, holding his chin.
"Don't feel bad! Eat! Eat open! My brother is rich, but now he is so poor that he only has money..." Ye Huan patted his chest like a wealthy nouveau riche, but his face looked as sad as if he was attending a funeral.
"Since Young Master Ye is so generous, why not order another bottle of Roman Montrachet? I have always heard that this wine tastes good. I haven't tried it yet, but the price is a bit expensive. It is said to cost more than 20,000 US dollars..." Gao Shengnan Youyou
road.
Ye Huan's face turned pale.
Damn you, you can’t kill a pig like this...
"Okay, no problem, please! We don't want the best, but the most expensive... Huh? There are two bastards quarreling outside. I'll go out and see the excitement and come back..."
As soon as Ye Huan stood up, Gao Shengnan said without raising an eyebrow: "You dare to leave, my aunt is not on vacation today, and she has a gun with her..."
The dead man had a weapon in his hand, so Ye Huan had no choice but to sit down and be slaughtered by the man.
…………
…………
"Are you retired?" Gao Shengnan stared at him in surprise.
"I don't plan to die in the army all my life. Is it weird to be retired?"
Gao Shengnan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled broadly: "In other words, you are no longer a soldier. Even if I arrest you, you can only wear handcuffs?"
Ye Huan said angrily: "What kind of mentality do you have, you idiot? I'll treat you to a dinner worth tens of thousands of yuan, and you still plan to arrest me. The level of your conscience is outrageous..."
Gao Shengnan smiled proudly and said, "I just like having this sense of superiority in front of you..."
"That's not necessarily the case. Although I left the military camp, my military status is still retained in the army. The head of the military region said that I will be considered to be on a long leave and will not be considered a discharge."
Gao Shengnan said in surprise: "This... what kind of statement is this? Everyone has left the military camp, why do they still retain their military status?"
"I am a talented person. The leaders are reluctant to let me go. They say that the country needs it and they want to call me back at any time." Ye Huan said with a grin.
"Talent? What did you do in the army?"
These words scratched Ye Huan's itch, and he immediately became excited: "What I do is so awesome, I have to start with rescuing the hostages..."
With pride, Ye Huan recounted in detail all the achievements he had made while in the army.
After hearing this, Gao Shengnan remained silent for a long time, staring at him in surprise.
Ye Huan didn't expect her to react like this, so he begged: "What do you mean, praise me, admire me, etc. Why do you look like you saw me eating shit? What do you mean?
?”
"What you said...is it true?" Gao Shengnan looked at him steadily.
"certainly."
Gao Shengnan's eyes were red, and tears fell unconsciously. Listening to Ye Huan's brows talking about various experiences in the army, she thought of the other side. Just thinking about it made her heart throb. She was so excited about the smile in front of her that was as bright as summer.
A Japanese man.
"Ye Huan, have you suffered a lot? Why are you like this? You are a child of the Shen family. Even if you want to gain qualifications, you don't have to work so hard. What are you... doing for?"
Seeing Gao Shengnan crying in pain, Ye Huan felt like a string was being plucked in his heart.
A woman who truly loves you never cares about how beautiful you are on the outside. What she cares about is how much hardship a man has suffered, how much he has suffered, and how much price he has paid behind the beauty.
The unknown bitterness, there is always someone in this world who silently feels sorry for you.
Katsuo, Katsuo...
——If the woman Qiao Mu had not appeared in my life, I would have no reason to reject her, right?
Ye Huansheng resisted the strong urge to embrace Gao Shengnan, but the end of his nose felt faintly sore.
Qiao Mu...where are you? If you don't show up, your heart will soon be filled with someone else's shadow...
"I don't plan to go into politics. I don't need any qualifications. I endure hardships because I have to. The Shen family is the Shen family and I am me. It would be too sad for a man to live his whole life relying on the halo of the family behind him. With strength,
It is the most practical and safest thing to do in your own hands."
"Is this your purpose of joining the army? For strength?"
Ye Huan sighed sadly: "I didn't know what strength was before. No matter how my status changed, I always tried my best to make everything around me remain the same as before. I have been maintaining this state, but I never thought about it.
, the environment changes, people will also change.
, Some people have changed on their own, and some people have been forced to change by the environment. These changes cannot be stopped. The things I worked hard to maintain in the past have proven to be very childish and ridiculous. Things that should change will always change.
You can’t keep those who should leave..."
"What does this have to do with strength?"
"With strength, I can protect the things I cherish, and like a real man, I can protect the people and things that belong to me, and hold up a sky for them. I can handle the storm outside."
Commit, no matter how difficult and difficult the world is, the sky I hold up for them will always be so clean and clear. This sky needs my strength to support it."
Ye Huan's expression was very deep, and his mind was in a trance.
If he had enough strength to make his enemies fear him, would Shen Laosan still dare to force Qiao Mu away like that?
Taking off the cloak of civilization, this society is still an era of jungle after all. If your fists are not strong and your shoulders are not strong, how can you protect the most important person in your life? Ye Huan has always kept in mind what Shen Duzhi once said to him. .
Gao Shengnan's tears kept flowing and he choked with sobs: "Ye Huan, if you feel sorry for them, who will feel sorry for you?"
Gao Shengnan couldn't help but shed tears. Her heart ached for this man. Back then, Ninghai, the man who used tricks and tricks for tens of thousands of dollars, had simple worries and simple happiness, no longer saw him again. He was in front of her now. He is no longer the same person as before. In less than a year, he seems to have gone through a thousand years of vicissitudes, with wrinkles on his forehead, scars on his body, and heavier responsibilities on his shoulders. A young man of only twenty years old has been The ruthless world forces him to silently carry these things that he didn't have to carry. Who will feel sorry for him?
"Ye Huan, you have retired from the army, what are you going to do next?"
Ye Huan smiled, did not answer, and looked to the distance outside the window. The sky in the distance was clean and clear, and a lonely white cloud floated in the sky, very close and yet very far away.
Gao Shengnan's heart sank and he felt sad.
There is no need to ask for the answer. Everyone around him knows the importance of Qiao Mu in his heart. What else can he do next besides looking for Qiao Mu?
After all, she couldn't defeat Qiao Mu. Even if she wasn't by his side, she couldn't squeeze out a single place in his heart. She had completely lost this war twenty years ago.
Love is like a ruthless and cruel race. He is chasing the tree, and she is chasing him. In the rapidly retreating scenery, the only clear thing in my eyes is the cold figure in front of me. I want to beg him to stop and wait for me, but again I couldn't bear to let him lose the goal he was chasing, so I could only grit my teeth and follow, and I could only watch him run towards the front that would never have anything to do with me...
Gao Shengnan shed more and more tears.
We are all people who need to feel sorry for ourselves, and we dare not show our vulnerability.
Sniffing hard, Gao Shengnan wiped away his tears and said, "When are you leaving?"
Ye Huan said with a smile: "I'll ask Zhou Mei to help me apply for a passport to the UK tomorrow. I'll probably be able to leave within a week."
"I'll go with you." Gao Shengnan looked at him with stubborn persistence in his eyes.
"No need, you're a jobber who works nine to five, how can you do your job worse than me?"
"No matter what, I want to go with you!"
"No need. I'm looking for someone, not traveling. Why are you going with me?"
"Ye Huan, you don't understand."
Gao Shengnan felt endless sadness in his heart.
What a fool, I just want to watch you run to your end point. If you can't find that end point, just look back and you will find that there is a silly girl who has been following you crazily. Qiao Mu can become I can also be your shadow.
Looking at Gao Shengnan's sad and firm expression, Ye Huan was stunned for a moment, and then... he seemed to understand.
Licking his dry lips, Ye Huan said in a hoarse voice: "Shengnan, you don't have to be like this..."
Gao Shengnan smiled and raised his glass: "Ye Huan, let's have a drink, for... separation."
Ye Huan also raised his glass, thinking of Qiao Mu who didn't know where he was, and felt a pain in his heart, and said: "Let's get together for the sake of..."
The gatherings, separations, separations, and unhappy cycles add to the aging process and enrich life.
Drinking a cup to drink up their lovesickness, the wine enters the sad heart, full of bitterness.
Just when Ye Huan was about to change the topic and talk about something happy, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
"Ye Huan? Are you here too?"
Ye Huan turned his head in shock, only to see Shen Rui, who was wearing a well-fitting suit, walking towards him with a smile, holding a slim beauty in a black evening dress beside him. Attention.
"Cousin, are you here to dine too? What a coincidence today." Ye Huan was stunned for a moment, then immediately greeted with a smile on his face.
Shen Rui smiled elegantly and said: "Let's talk about style first and then introduce the beautiful ladies around us, otherwise the ladies will have objections. The beauty next to me is called Lin Shan. She is the daughter of Chief of Staff Lin of the Garrison Military Region. You This person next to me is..."
Since Gao Shengnan is also a high-ranking official, he will naturally not have stage fright. He stretched out his hand generously and said with a smile: "I am Gao Shengnan, a criminal police officer from the city police station."
Ye Huan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said nothing.
In the circle of second-generation officials, it is always customary to use who their father is as a stepping stone to introduce themselves. This is a bad habit that Gao Shengnan has always disliked, so she never mentions who her father is when introducing herself. , besides, the streets in Beijing are full of ministerial-level cadres, and her father, the director of the Public Security Bureau, really doesn’t need to show off.
After Shen Rui heard that Gao Shengnan was a detective, the pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank quickly, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.
"Miss Gao is actually a policeman? I'm glad you met me. Since when did our police station in Beijing have such a beautiful scenery?" Shen Rui's praise was implicit and unconventional.
Gao Shengnan smiled lightly and said: "I am more than just scenery..."
Shen Rui was stunned for a moment, and then apologized hurriedly: "I made a mistake, I made a mistake, I'm sorry. Miss Gao can join the city's criminal police team at a young age, so she must be very capable. To say that you are just a scenery is blasphemy..."
While the two were talking, Ye Huan looked at Lin Shan next to Shen Rui without leaving any trace.
Judging from the two people's so close looks, they must have a complicated relationship. Isn't Shen Rui's wife from the Song family? How come she hooked up with the daughter of the chief of staff of the military region? This Shen Rui looks personable, calm and mature, but he doesn't expect that he is also in his heart. Quite romantic.
——Damn it, if you secretly take a photo of them with your mobile phone now, and then use it to threaten Shen Rui, I guess you can extort the money for the meal, right?
Ye Huan suddenly felt a bad taste in his heart.
After the four introduced each other, Shen Rui naturally did not want to disturb Ye Huan and the other two while they were dining, so under the guidance of the waiter, they found another table to sit down at.
Gao Shengnan stared at Shen Rui and Lin Shan from a distance, lowered his voice and said to Ye Huan: "He is your cousin?"
"yes."
"Is that woman his wife?"
"No, his wife's surname should be Song. I had a romantic relationship with her brother a few days ago..."
Gao Shengnan curled his lips: "Men are so virtuous. They leave their wives alone at home and have sex with others outside..."
"Don't overturn a whole boat of people with one pole. I'm not hooking up with others..."
Gao Shengnan glared at him with resentment and anger: "You are the worst one. Other men are flirting with each other, but you are being flirted with. What a disaster!"
Ye Huan was speechless. He turned into a prostitute and became a moral pioneer. Why do women have such unreasonable virtues?
"Ye Huan, I have a straightforward temper. I have no intention of instituting a fight between you and your family... Based on my experience as a police officer, I always feel that your cousin has an evil smell."
Ye Huan was stunned for a moment: "How did you tell?"
Gao Shengnan shook his head and said with a scheming expression: "This is a feeling, there is no reason, that's how I feel anyway."
Ye Huan was silent for a while, and then said as if he didn't care: "Your feeling is not reliable, is it? The only case you have solved since you became a policeman is that I helped you figure it out. Just now my cousin
It's true that I praised you as a beautiful scenery in the police station. You were so awesome at that time that you said it was more than just a scenery. We are all acquaintances. I don't have the nerve to expose you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a snow-white fork struck the Tanzhong point on Ye Huan's chest like lightning. Ye Huan's eyelids twitched and he narrowly dodged it.
Gao Shengnan stared at him with murderous eyes: "You bastard named Ye, will you die if you don't say a few words to me?"
On the other side of the restaurant, Shen Rui clinked glasses with Lin Shan with a smile.
Lin Shan looked a little uneasy and whispered: "Aren't we being too showy? If your cousin goes back and tells your family about our dinner together, we..."
Shen Rui shook his head and smiled: "Shan, you are too worried. Ye Huan will not do that. Besides, it doesn't mean anything that I have a meal with my friends. Your worries are unnecessary."
Lin Shan glanced at Ye Huan who was not far away and said, "Is he Ye Huan? He is quite young. You have been having trouble sleeping these days because of him..."
A flash of gloom quickly flashed in Shen Rui's eyes, and he interrupted: "Shan, don't talk about this, the walls have ears..."
Lin Shan paused and nodded hurriedly.
After a moment, he couldn't help but said: "Rui, that Ye Huan, I seem to know something else about him...can you tell me?"
Shen Rui was stunned and said, "What's going on?"
Lin Shan said cautiously: "A few days ago, the Garrison Military Region and the Southwest Military Region conducted an exercise. This Ye Huan stole the show. It is said that he single-handedly took over the other side's general headquarters, which shocked the entire military region's senior officials. I was at home listening to my dad talking to others.
When an old leader talked about him, in addition to praising his contribution, he seemed to... also mentioned that Ye Huan was suffering from a mental illness called... war psychological trauma... Rui, this news is very important.
Can you help?"
Shen Rui stayed for a moment, but his heart was gradually filled with a kind of ecstasy. He was so knowledgeable that he naturally knew what kind of disease "war psychological trauma" was.
After a moment of silence, Shen Rui did not show any expression of joy on his face, and still said calmly: "Did you listen to your father? Is the news reliable?"
"It should be reliable. My dad is the chief of staff of the military region. He never makes jokes."
"Do you know the extent of his illness?"
"My dad said that the psychiatrist of the Blue Sword Brigade conducted psychological intervention on him. The problem is not too serious, but if he is stimulated by some dark sides of the outside world, it may have serious consequences..."
Shen Rui sat blankly, muttering to himself in a daze: "Excitement...the excitement of the dark side..."
After a while, Shen Rui smiled slightly and said: "Shan, you sit down first, I'll go to the bathroom..."
The meal with Gao Shengnan was very enjoyable. Even though her stomach was only half full with a few pieces of steak and a few sips of red wine, Ye Huan still felt very happy.
——A meal worth tens of thousands of yuan does not allow him to feel depressed, otherwise he would be too sorry for the tens of thousands of yuan.
Ye Huan snapped his fingers and asked the waiter to pay the bill.
The waiter walked up to him, bowed politely, and said with a smile: "Dear Sir, your meal has been paid for by the guests at another table."
Following the direction of the waiter's finger, Ye Huan saw Shen Rui giving him a gentle and elegant smile.
Ye Huan was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "He helped me get married? Damn... this brother really didn't recognize me in vain."
Waiter: "…………"
Gao Shengnan said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing, brother? What does it have to do with him when we eat? You have nothing to do to settle accounts, so I can't kill you even if I want to..."
Ye Huan glared at her and said, "Damn, are you talking humanly? What's wrong with someone paying for me? You have to watch me pay to be happy?"
Turning to look at the waiter, Ye Huan asked, "Does he pay for all the expenses at my table?"
"Yes, sir."
Ye Huan blinked his eyes and said: "Then give me another bottle of Roma...cough, you damn bastard, what Roma did you just say? The kind that costs more than 20,000 US dollars..."
“Roman montrachet…”
Ye Huan slapped his thigh: "Yes, just give me a bottle of montrachet. I'll pack it up and take it away. The whole account will be recorded on the wronged... ahem, that distinguished gentleman."
Gao Shengnan sighed: "...Ye Huan, don't you look too ugly? Your cousin is kind enough to help us pay the bill, but you're giving him a huge blow..."
"The Master said: 'Don't take advantage of the bastard'..."
"Which one said it?"
"Sun Tzu, I've been reading the Art of War a lot recently. I'm not going to lie to you, this grandson is really doing well." Ye Huan looked determined.
…………
…………
With the packed Roman montrachet, Ye Huan looked guilty and sneaked out of the French restaurant with Gao Shengnan without even saying hello to Shen Rui.
Walking outside the restaurant, Ye Huan took a deep breath and showed the brightest smile tonight.
After saving tens of thousands of dollars and getting a bottle of wine worth more than 20,000 US dollars, Ye Huan is now in a very happy mood.
Gao Shengnan looked at Ye Huan's proud face and laughed and scolded: "You bastard is really nothing. Your cousin is a bastard. Unfortunately, he met you while eating and was stabbed by you for no reason. Who can he provoke?" Who is it?"
"Look what you said, didn't I provoke no one? Why don't I still come to my door and be slaughtered by you..."
The two chatted and joked for a while, and then Ye Huan's cell phone rang.
Looking down at the caller ID, Ye Huan hesitated for a long time and then answered the call with a guilty conscience.
On the other end of the phone, Shen Rui sighed heavily: "You, a billionaire, are blackmailing me, a poor civil servant who receives a meager salary from the state. Isn't it too dark of heart?"
Ye Huan looked a little embarrassed and laughed dryly: "Well... I'm really sorry. In the past, as long as there was an advantage, I would take advantage of it. After taking advantage, I would run away. It was completely inertia. I didn't think of it until I left the house. I took advantage of my brother, how about... I give that bottle of wine back?"
Shen Rui laughed loudly and said: "That's not necessary, your cousin is not so stingy, but you can't take advantage of it in vain. More than 20,000 US dollars can't be enjoyed by you alone. If you don't do anything after dinner, Let’s go sing ktv, you’ll be the treat this time…”
Ye Huan's eyelids twitched and he said cautiously: "You won't order hundreds of thousands of drinks in the KTV to get revenge on me, right?"
Shen Rui laughed and said: "You kid, you are really stingy... Don't worry, you don't have to pay for the drinks, okay?"
Ye Huan quickly calculated the accounts in his mind and felt that he should not suffer too much loss, so he patted his chest and said with a heroic smile: "Okay, I'll treat you! To tell you the truth, I am now so poor that I only have a few dozen left." Billions of dollars…”
Shen Rui smiled and said: "If you are so good, why don't I order two bottles worth hundreds of thousands tonight..."
Ye Huan quickly interrupted him: "...I am so poor that I only have a few billion sperm left."
Shen Rui: "…………"
…………
…………
At the end of Chang'an Street in the east of Beijing, there is a high-end membership KTV called "Dihao". This is the address Shen Rui told Ye Huan.
Sitting in the taxi, Ye Huan looked at the neon signs flashing in the night. His eyelids suddenly jumped a few times, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
What kind of person is Shen Rui? Why do I always feel so uneasy tonight?
squeak--
The taxi suddenly hit the brakes, paused for a moment, and then continued to drive forward.
Through the car window, Ye Huan saw a corner of the street where countless passers-by were running frantically to one side as if they were breaking up.
On the street just a few meters away from the car window, in front of a stopped car, a passerby was lying motionless in front of the car. His head had been hit by the car and his brains had burst. His brain tissue was red and white, and there was blood. , and broken organs were all over the floor. The scene was very disgusting and terrifying...
Although it was only for a moment, Ye Huan accidentally saw the corpse that had been hit by a car. With just a quick glance, Ye Huan's whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The horrific corpse flashed repeatedly in his mind, and then another one appeared in front of him. The long-lost hallucination appeared. In the drug dealer village in the southwest jungle, there were the corpses of political commissar Geng Zhijun, as well as the stumps of the drug dealers and militants who were blown into two pieces by anti-aircraft machine gun bullets, blood, blazing fire, and the asura hell. Desperate screams mingled together...
Ye Huan sat quietly behind the car, his face as pale as a death, his whole body shivering unconsciously, and his eyes were shining with a crazy red light for some reason...
"Ye Huan, Ye Huan! You...what's wrong with you?" Gao Shengnan beside him shouted in panic.
A distant and anxious call brought him back to reality.
Ye Huan came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled weakly: "It's nothing. I suddenly remembered that I forgot to turn off the lights at home when I went out. This will cost me several yuan in electricity bills. I felt a little distressed for a moment..."
"A few dollars of electricity bill makes you feel so distressed that your face turns pale? Ye Huan, don't fool me, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, don't worry about it!" Ye Huan suddenly became a little irritable: "Master driver, please drive over quickly, we are in a hurry..."
Gao Shengnan said nothing and stared at him quietly.
Ye Huan pursed her lips tightly and looked at the neon signs that were rapidly retreating outside the window, while cold sweat rolled down her forehead like a shower...
