Chapter 13 Chapter 12 The closer you get, the more confused you become

Xiaolu returned to Guangzhou as agreed, went to the hospital to pay the treatment fee to her adoptive mother Li Xiuqin, and then went to the old place to meet with Director Mi.When Xiaolu walked into the box, Director Mi was already sitting there. "Xiaolu, I feel different seeing you this time." After Xiaolu sat down, Director Mi poured Xiaolu a cup of coffee. "What's different?" Xiaolu asked. "The childishness has faded away, and he has become mature, like an adult." Director Mi said. Xiaolu didn't look in the mirror, but believed that Director Mi's words were right.I have experienced too many things this month, and my body and mind have suffered a lot. It is born from the heart, and the maturity of the heart will inevitably lead to changes in the appearance.Xiaolu feels that Director Mi is also getting old.Her face was yellow, her eyes had obvious bags, her hair hadn't been dyed for a while, and a section of white hair was exposed on her temples.Xiaolu recalled the first time she met Director Mi four years ago, and followed her to swear an oath under the national flag. At that time, her eyes were sharp and her spirit was radiant, she was completely different from now.Director Mi listened carefully to Xiaolu's report, and said: "You have done a good job. It should be said to be better than I expected. But the case is more complicated than I imagined. I thought that with your cooperation, you can quickly solve the problem. If we find this drug manufacturing factory, at least we can find some clues about it. But we still haven’t found anything yet.”

"After getting off work for the past few days, I secretly went to the monitoring room and called out the video from 2:00 am to 7:00 am. There was no sign of suspicious personnel activities. If the drug factory is really hidden in the club, it will always Someone should move around." Xiaolu said. "Yes. This is also a question that puzzles us. It seems that Zhang Wanrou is more cautious and cunning than we imagined." Director Mi sighed. "Zhang Wanrou bought a pharmaceutical factory some time ago, saying that she wanted to develop some health products. But she never let me intervene in the affairs of the pharmaceutical factory. I don't know the progress of the situation."

Xiaolu said. "I already know the situation. Zhang Wanrou is running the MG Club well, and suddenly went to buy a pharmaceutical factory. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?" Director Mi slowly sipped his coffee, thoughtfully.Xiaolu knew that this question was not for herself, but Director Mi was thinking, so she kept silent.Director Mi took out a photo from his purse and handed it to Xiaolu.The man in the photo is about fifty years old, with a square face, big eyes, and a round nose. He looks very rich."Who is this?" she asked. "This man is Wang Shixiong, 55 years old, from Panyu, Guangdong. He smuggled into Hong Kong from the Mainland in 1964, soon joined the underworld organization, and began to engage in drug trafficking activities. In 1985, he was wanted by the Hong Kong police for sexually assaulting young children and fled to Thailand. After that, He rarely appears in public. According to reliable sources, he is the well-known drug lord 'Prince' in the international drug market. After years of operation, he has established a huge drug sales network in Southeast Asia. In recent years, due to the rise of new drugs , "Prince" has turned from simple drug trafficking to drug production. He established an underground drug production factory in the border area of ​​the mainland, smuggled the prepared methamphetamine out of the country, and used his own sales network to sell the drug to all parts of the world to make huge profits. Interpol The organization had already issued a warrant for him three years ago, but he lived in seclusion and his whereabouts were secretive. Few people had seen his true face. He had undergone several plastic surgeries in Taiwan, and we have not yet obtained the specific information. The one in the photo It might be him, it might not be."

Director Mi said. After Zhang Xiaolu listened carefully, she asked doubtfully, "What is the relationship between the prince and Zhang Wanrou?" "The person who adopted Zhang Wanrou in the orphanage back then was the prince. The prince adopted several girls from all over Southeast Asia and used them to work for his drug cartel when they grew up. Zhang Wanrou was one of them. Zhang Wanrou returned to Hong Kong shortly after graduating from university and was arrested. Sent to Shenzhen, the prince bought a vacant land in the Xiangmi Lake area, costing 100 million yuan, and built the current MG Club. According to our information, Zhang Wanrou not only used the club as a cover to engage in drug trafficking and manufacturing activities, but she also probably Master all the information of the prince's processing dens in the mainland. She will fly to Thailand every month to report the sales situation in the mainland to the prince."

Director Mi said. Hearing Director Mi's words, Zhang Xiaolu's heart skipped a beat, and she was speechless for a long time.Director Mi continued: "The first stop of Zhang Wanrou's departure was Singapore, where she stayed for a day. Then she flew to Thailand, returned to Hong Kong three days later, and locked herself in her home in Hong Kong for five days. We analyzed that she must have been under a lot of mental pressure." After Xiaolu listened to it, it took a while before she asked, "What do you need me to do?" "According to a reliable source, the prince will enter the country soon to check the accounts with Zhang Wanrou."

Director Mi took out a watch and handed it to Zhang Xiaolu: "This is a miniature camcorder that can take pictures and record videos. Find a chance to take a video of the prince, preferably with a positive image, and hand it over to Interpol." "it is good." Zhang Xiaolu took the watch. "Remember, you'd better not meet him formally, don't let him know you." Director Mi warned. "Why? I am Zhang Wanrou's assistant. I can find opportunities to contact him and get first-hand information." Zhang Xiaolu asked puzzledly. "According to the information we have, the prince is suspicious by nature, not only cruel but also very lustful. He has many sex slaves, and Zhang Wanrou is one of them. He has a perverted preference for girls, and the girls he fancy can't escape his clutches." The purpose of not letting him know you is to avoid possible harm to you. I can't let you make unnecessary sacrifices."

Director Mi said.Hearing that Zhang Wanrou was actually the prince's sex slave, Xiaolu's heart jumped suddenly, and an indescribable feeling came out.Director Mi asked: "During the time you have been in contact with Zhang Wanrou, what do you think of her?" Xiaolu said cautiously: "Her personality is changeable and elusive. I haven't seen her through so far." "Zhang Wanrou is actually a tragic character. Her childhood experience distorted her personality, and her strong rejection of men affected her sexual orientation. Her heart must also be full of pain and struggle. Although she is arrogant and indifferent on the outside, in fact she needs it the most. The warmth of a loved one. When interacting with such a person, only by sincerely and continuously caring can we enter the depths of her heart."

"Oh, I see." Xiaolu lowered her head and answered softly. "Chen Jiao." Director Mi called out.Xiaolu raised her head, and saw Director Mi's eyes of kindness for the first time. "Remember the oath you swore, you are working for the good of the country, and as long as your heart is light, there is nothing to be afraid of." "Please don't worry about the organization, I will definitely fulfill my mission." Chen Jiao replied firmly. "Okay! I personally selected you. I believe you will be able to complete the task. After this case is over, I will ask for credit for you and arrange you to take a vacation."

Director Mi patted Chen Jiao's hand kindly. "Thank you Director Mi!" Chen Jiao said. "Look for Lin Zhiqiang and Xu Lei at the police station if you need anything, they will protect your safety." Director Mi instructed again.Next, Director Mi began to teach Chen Jiao how to use the watch.He told her to pay attention to safety, and then the two broke up. "Xiaolu, you can't come here these days." One morning after waking up, Wanrou suddenly said this to Xiaolu. Xiaolu's heart sank, and she asked, "Why?" "I have something to do these days, and I will come back very late at night."

Wan judo. "Don't call me these few days, and handle things at your own discretion." "Can I call you at night?" The two of them are like glue during this time, even if they don't live together, they often call to say hello at night. "No. I'll be busy at night too, so it's not convenient to answer your call." Wan judo.Xiaolu didn't ask any more questions, put on in a muffled voice, opened the door and went out.Wanrou held her back: "What's the matter, Xiaolu?" "nothing." Xiaolu's face was clearly forbearing.

"It's nothing, why did you just walk out without saying hello?" Wanrou asked. "Didn't you tell me to go? You've made it so clear, why should I stay here so brazenly?" Xiaolu said. "When will I tell you to go? I just said that you can't come here for a few days. " Wanrou glanced at Xiaolu and said, "Okay, don't get me wrong. Let me tell you, my boss is here, and I will be with him for a few days." Wanrou touched Xiaolu's hair and explained. "The big boss is here, can't I receive him with you?" Xiaolu asked. "The big boss doesn't like to meet people. He will leave after a few days here. I'll call you over after he leaves." Wan judo. "Who is the big boss? Why is he so mysterious? I've never heard you talk about him." Xiaolu asked. I thought, the prince really came. "The big boss lives abroad and rarely comes to the mainland. The boss has eccentricities and likes to create a sense of mystery to maintain his prestige. Oh, why did I have a little headache this morning, Xiaolu, help me find a bottle of Baihu Huoluo Ointment in the drawer .” Wanrou didn't answer Xiaolu's question directly, but changed the subject.Xiaolu went to the drawer to get the Baihu Huoluo Ointment and handed it to her.Wanrou took it and put it in her bag, and said, "I have a meeting today, it must be useful. Alright, let's go." Walking to the underground garage, Xiaolu opened the car door for Wanrou.Wanrou bent down and got into the driver's cab, started the car, then poked her head out of the car window and said to Xiaolu: "Don't call me these two days, if you have anything to deal with, just let it go if you can't. I'll talk about it when I come back." "understood." Xiaolu replied, closing the car door for her.The white BMW carrying Wanrou drove forward silently, turned a corner, and quickly disappeared from sight.Sure enough, there was no news from Zhang Wanrou for the whole day.At 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, Xiaolu returned to the dormitory after get off work. After washing, she lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, thinking about how to complete the task.The prince is elusive, and I don't know how long he can stay in Shenzhen. The only thing that is certain is that he is in Shenzhen tonight, and it is very likely that he will be with Zhang Wanrou.I'd better see him tonight.By tomorrow, his whereabouts will not be confirmed.At 3 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Xiaolu made a very risky decision.She wants to find her at Zhang Wanrou's villa.The doorbell rang for ten minutes, but no one came to the door.She is not sure whether Prince Wanrou is in the room at this time, and if she is, she cannot predict what will happen after opening the door.While waiting, Zhang Xiaolu's palms were sweating all the time, and she wanted to turn around and leave several times, but she held back her teeth.Just when she was about to give up, a gentle voice came from the door: "Who is it?" "It's me, Xiaolu." Xiao Lu quietly clenched her fists and replied.Two minutes later, the door opened, and Wanrou stood in the doorway wearing a nightgown. "Xiaolu? What are you doing here so late? Didn't I tell you not to look for me these few days?" Wanrou asked.Xiaolu rushed through the door, "I miss you, let's come and see you." Wanrou stood in the living room and looked at Xiaolu, without saying a word. "For some reason, it was difficult for me to fall asleep tonight. I finally fell asleep, but I had a nightmare. I dreamed that you were being chased by a man. You stumbled and ran, fell, and was chased by that man. He Riding on you, choking your neck with your hands, you shouted desperately: Xiaolu save me! As soon as the dream came to this point, I woke up and broke out in a cold sweat. , so come and see, are you okay?" Xiaolu asked. "Really? You came to me because you had a nightmare?" Wanrou asked back. "You don't believe me? Then what do you think?" Xiaolu walked over to hold Wanrou's shoulder. "You want to see if there is anyone else here?" Wanrou said coldly. "How could it be?" Xiaolu denied, looking upstairs.How can it be said that the prince has not appeared for so long? "You are too courageous! If there is really someone here, you are not afraid that I will turn against you if you come to the door like this?" Wanrou looked at Xiaolu and said. "I'm really worried about you, so I came to have a look. I'm sorry to disturb your dream. I'm leaving." Being punctured by Wanrou, Xiaolu couldn't stay longer, so she planned to leave. "etc." Wanrou called to stop Xiaolu who was pulling the doorknob. "You don't even look at what time it is, how do you go back? Stay here and leave at dawn." Xiaolu asked dubiously: "Aren't you angry? Let me stay?" Wanrou came over and took Xiaolu's hand: "Of course I'm not angry. Seeing that Xiaolu cares about me so much, I'm a little happy." "Really? Great." Xiaolu embraced Wanrou, and kissed her hard on the cheek.When going upstairs, Xiaolu bent down and said, "Princess Wanrou, come up, I will carry you upstairs." Wanrou smiled and leaned forward, wrapping her arms around Xiaolu's neck. "Let's go, my prince!" After going upstairs and into the bedroom, Xiaolu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she found no sign of a man coming.Up to this moment, she was still taking chances, hoping that Director Mi's information was wrong and that Zhang Wanrou had nothing to do with drugs. Although she knew that such a possibility was almost non-existent.After going to bed, Wanrou said that she was very tired after a day of meetings today, the two kissed each other lightly, and fell asleep hugging each other.In the early morning, the two were awakened by a doorbell.Wanrou opened her eyes, and her expression changed drastically after hearing this.She got up quickly, put on her clothes, and said to Xiaolu, "Hurry up and hide, the big boss is here." Xiaolu asked, "Why are you so afraid of your boss?" "Because he's a devil. Don't ask any more questions, get dressed quickly, hide in another room, lock the door, and come out after we leave." Wan Rou said. Then she pulled Xiaolu and locked her in the next room before hurriedly going downstairs.Xiaolu put her ear to the door, and when she heard Wanrou's sound of opening the door, she secretly opened the door a crack.She saw a man in a maroon silk shirt come in.The man was in his 50s, visually estimated to be between 1.66 and 1.68 meters tall, and weighed about 70 kilograms.Xiaolu quickly summed up his features, raised the watch on her left wrist, and pressed the switch.Wanrou probably tried to stop him from going upstairs, but failed, they had an argument, and the man pushed Wanrou away and walked upstairs.During the process of going upstairs, the man happened to be facing Xiaolu for a while, and Xiaolu could see that his face was smooth and rosy, his nose was a little red, his ears were big, and he walked with a slightly sloppy face.Not the person in the photo Director Mi showed.When the two entered the bedroom, Xiaolu gently closed the door. She came to the wall and put her ear against the wall, but unfortunately the wall was too thick and she couldn't hear anything.About 20 minutes later, Xiaolu heard the door next door open and someone walking.Xiaolu opened the door secretly and saw the man going downstairs.Not long after the man went out, he heard the sound of a car starting. It seemed that a car had been waiting outside, picked up the man and left quickly.Xiaolu came out, gently pushed open the bedroom door, and saw that the bed was a mess, and the soft nightgown fell on the floor.Wanrou lay naked on the bed with a dull expression. "Wanrou, what's wrong with you?" Xiaolu asked tentatively.Pick up the nightgown from the floor and put it back on the bed.Wanrou seemed to wake up from a start, she gritted her teeth and said, "This old pervert!" "Who was that man just now? Is he the big boss?" Xiaolu asked. "Who else is it if it's not him!" Wanrou grabbed her nightgown and got off the bed, turned around and entered the bathroom, closed the door, and after a while, there was the sound of splashing water.Wanrou washed in the bathroom for a long time before she came out in her nightgown, her face was already normal.She walked to the closet without anyone else, opened the closet, took out a white suit, and changed it. "Wanrou, why don't you explain to me what's going on?" Xiaolu said. "There's nothing to explain. There are some things you don't need to know. I'm going out to do some errands right now, and I won't be back all day today. After I'm gone, you can go too. Don't come to me tonight." Wanrou got dressed and sat in front of the dressing table to put on makeup. "When will the big boss return to Hong Kong?" Xiaolu asked. "Just these two days, he will not return to Hong Kong, he lives in Thailand." Wanrou said casually. "I hope he leaves quickly. I don't want to see him come to you again." Standing behind Wanrou, Xiaolu picked up the comb and combed her hair.Wanrou smiled sadly: "Some things are beyond my control. It's not that if I don't want them to happen, they won't happen. Most of the time, I can't help myself." "Don't do what you don't want to do, who can force you?" Xiaolu said. "There are many people who can force me. Some things have to be done even if they don't want to do them. After doing it once, you have to keep doing it." Wan judo. "What are you referring to?" Xiaolu asked.Wanrou stood up, looked at Xiaolu and said, "I mean sex. As long as two people do it for the first time, there will be a second and third time. As long as the other party asks, you can never refuse." After saying this, Wanrou picked up her purse and went downstairs.After Wanrou left, Xiaolu began to check the room, but found nothing left by the prince. The only thing of value was a condom that had just been discarded in the wastebasket in the bathroom. Xiaolu found a small glass bottle, poured the semen into it, closed the lid, wrapped it with a piece of toilet paper, and carefully put it in her bag.After leaving Wanrou's villa, she went to the post office and made a long-distance call to Director Mi.Zhang Xiaolu simply reported to Director Mi what happened just now.Director Mi was very excited when he heard that Xiaolu had recorded the prince's video and got his semen so quickly, so he asked her to wait at the post office, and she immediately sent Xu Lei to pick it up. Twenty minutes later, Xiaolu saw Xu Lei walking into the post office in a light green dress.She winked at Xiaolu and walked towards the bathroom.Xiaolu didn't follow immediately, and after two minutes, she observed that no one noticed her, and then walked towards the bathroom.After entering the bathroom, she stopped in front of the sink, took off the watch, and put the glass bottle on the sink.Then turn on the tap and wash your hands slowly.After Xu Lei relieved herself, she also went to the sink to wash her hands.After washing, he took out a tissue to dry his hands, inadvertently put the two things Xiaolu put on the stage into his bag, and left quickly.Facing the mirror, Zhang Xiaolu straightened her short hair with her hands before slowly leaving. At noon the next day, Wanrou told Xiaolu that the boss had already left, and asked her to accompany the two guests for dinner at night, and told her to go to the kitchen to order the menu first.The dinner is booked at the club. The chef of the club is invited by Wanrou from Hong Kong. He is a superb cook and is good at cooking high-end Cantonese dishes.The restaurant is small in scale, without a lobby, and only a dozen boxes. If you want to eat in the club, you have to order a box at least one day in advance, and you have to order the menu in advance so that the kitchen can prepare ingredients in advance.No. 8 Ruyi Hall is a special box for Wanrou to entertain guests, and it is not open for business.Xiaolu saw that the menu requested by Wanrou was all the most expensive ingredients.Abalone needs two ends, shark's fin needs sea tiger's fin, bear's paw, bird's nest and so on.She thought that Wanrou was going to invite some important guests, but she didn't want to see two young men in their twenties in the box that night. Wanrou only introduced their names, one was A-Long and the other was A-Cheng. There is no indication of their identities.But Xiaolu judged from the two Cantonese speakers with Southeast Asian accents that they were the prince's subordinates. Presumably, after the prince left, there were still unfinished matters left for them to supervise.The waitress in a red cheongsam brought braised big abalone, raw crabmeat and sea tiger wings, and imperial swallows one by one on a silver tray. Crafted with care, this is the signature dish of the MG Club.Wanrou was very polite to Aaron and Acheng, telling them to eat more as soon as each dish was served.Ah Cheng and Aaron ate very happily, and were particularly interested in the "one palm to determine the country", and they ate happily as soon as they came up.Wanrou made a toast to the two with red wine on the pretext that she was not feeling well and could not drink white wine.After eating for a while, the two said that they were not used to drinking red wine, and that delicacies from mountains and seas must be enjoyed with white wine.Wanrou ordered a bottle of Moutai, and Xiaolu entertained the two of them.Facing the warm and reserved Wanrou and Xiaolu, Ah Cheng and Aaron were relatively gentle at first, and didn't say anything out of the ordinary. Most of the time, the two of them poured their own drinks. The fermentation of the two gradually became presumptuous.The two began to exchange their experiences of whoring, discussing the characteristics of the ladies there, using foul language, and one "bitch" at a time, regardless of the fact that there were two ladies present.Xiaolu scolded the two for being shameless in her heart, she glanced at Wanrou, who just frowned, playing with the big brother in her hand, pretending not to hear, Xiaolu couldn't get angry, so she had to sulk herself.At this time, the waitress A Yu came in and changed the plates for the four of them.When she switched to the two men's side, she leaned down, and Aaron suddenly touched Ayu's white legs protruding from the high-slit cheongsam. Ayu was startled, and the plate fell to the ground.The two smiled lewdly, and each grabbed Ayu's leg and kissed.Ayu screamed and ran to Wanrou's back, asking Wanrou for help. "Enough, don't go too far!" Wanrou stood up and said to Ayu who was trembling with fear, "You go out first! Ask someone to come in and clean up." Ayu blushed and fled in a hurry.Wanrou turned around and yelled at the two, "This is my territory, please show some respect!" "Little bitch, what are you pretending to do? What's wrong with me touching it?" Aaron said nonchalantly. "She's not a whore, and I'm not a brothel here. Please figure it out!" Wanrou blushed with anger. "Damn, who are you asking to figure it out! Aren't you just a big whore? Is it wrong for me to call her a little bitch?" Aaron yelled at Wanrou with the strength of alcohol.Wanrou's complexion changed. Before she could open her mouth, Xiaolu had already made a move.She pulled Aaron's arm with her left hand, and punched him in the face with her right hand. With a "bang", the fist hit him firmly on the cheek, and a mouthful of blood spewed out of his mouth.Aaron was sent flying by the punch, and fell to the ground on his back.Ah Cheng roared angrily, punched Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu let out a sneer, and dodged sideways, and when his center of gravity passed in the air, he kicked him in the chest with a muffled groan, and fell down. It didn't move on the ground. "I hate cheap-talking men the most. Apologize to Mr. Zhang, or I won't spare you!" Xiaolu said as she stepped on the stool and looked at the two men who fell on the ground. The two men groaned in pain on the ground, unable to say anything. "I don't need these two things to apologize, and a dog's mouth that was smashed can't spit out ivory. Well, let someone take these two people away and treat their wounds." Wan judo.He picked up the big brother on the table, turned around and went out.Xiaolu chased after her, grabbed Wanrou and asked, "Sister, did I do something wrong? Are they from the big boss?" Wanrou looked at Xiaolu and said, "I also hate cheap-talking men the most. Thank you for helping me teach them a lesson. It’s just that I didn’t expect you to be so good at it, and you knocked down those two dog legs in two or three hits.” "Will it cause trouble for my sister? Will the big boss blame you?" Xiaolu asked uneasily. "These two dogs want to bully me, how can it be tolerated? It's just a lesson for the big boss. You go back first, and I will handle the rest." Wan judo.Zhang Xiaolu returned to the dormitory, restless.She knew that she had made a mistake just now, and she shouldn't have beaten those two so hard. A 20-year-old girl with such strong martial arts and such ruthless strikes could easily arouse suspicion.When Wanrou looked at her just now, it is hard to guarantee that there was not a trace of doubt in her heart.Aaron and Acheng never appeared in the club again, and Wanrou never mentioned it.But Xiaolu was always a little uneasy, feeling that things would not pass so easily.A week later at night, Xiaolu was patrolling the restaurant and saw Ayu who was passing the dishes.Since that night, every time Xiaolu sees Ayu, she feels that there is something more in the way she looks at her. Xiaolu interprets this extra content as awe and gratitude.Xiaolu also had a good impression of this honest-looking Ayu, and gave her a smile. Just as she was about to say something, another male waiter came over and said that Mr. Zhang was waiting for her in box No. 8, and told her to come over immediately. .Xiaolu didn't think about it, she nodded to Ayu, and then walked to the No. 8 box.As soon as the box door was pushed open, Xiaolu's hair stood on end.Before she had time to react, a black muzzle was aimed at her temple. "Don't move. Put your head in your hands and walk slowly to the sofa. If you move around, you will be killed." The gunman ordered viciously.Xiaolu raised her hands, hugged her head, walked slowly obediently, and sat down on the sofa. The man stood in front of her, pointing a gun at her. "What's your name?" the man asked.Xiaolu looked up at him.The man is about 30 years old, wearing a baseball cap on his head, and has a scar on the left side of his face. "Zhang Xiaolu." "Who the hell are you? Are you an undercover agent sent by the police?" The man approached with a gun. "I don't know what you're talking about, how could I be a policeman?" Xiaolu said. "I heard that you are good at kung fu. You are very good at fighting. You smashed Aaron's gums with one punch. My brother Ah Cheng also practiced kung fu. You kicked and broke two ribs in a fight. You have to give me Say it!" "That's the fate of their cheap mouths. Whoever told them to insult Mr. Zhang, I stand up for Mr. Zhang." Xiaolu said. "How can you, a lady from a nightclub, have such good kung fu? Where did you practice?" the man asked. "I practiced my martial arts in a martial arts school. The two of them were drunk that day and were defenseless, so I took advantage of them." Xiaolu answered. "Who the hell are you, don't think of going out of this door unless you tell me clearly today!" The man put more force on his hand, aiming his gun at Xiaolu's left chest. "Who am I, you can ask Mr. Zhang and you will know." Xiaolu answered.During the stalemate, Wanrou opened the door and came in. "Put the gun down! Speak slowly if you have something to say." Wanrou closed the door and scolded Scarface. "The lady you fished out of the nightclub, have you checked her details?" Scarface asked, the gun still pointed at Zhang Xiaolu. "Of course I know the people around me. She learned her kung fu at a martial arts school. I met her at the provincial martial arts school two years ago. I guarantee that she will be fine." Wan judo. "I'm carrying out the order of the prince. If you have anything to say, you can tell the prince yourself." Scarface said. Although the gun was still pointed at Xiaolu, it was a little farther away.Wanrou took out her mobile phone and connected a phone call. "I guarantee with my life that Zhang Xiaolu is definitely not a policeman!" Wanrou said to the person on the phone. Wanrou gave Scarface the phone to let him listen, Scarface listened for a while, then returned the phone to Wanrou, and put away the gun. "We are people who walk on the tip of the knife, so we have to be careful. I'm sorry, both of you." With a scar face facing Zhang Wanrou and Zhang Xiaolu, he lowered his head and cupped his fists, opened the door and went out.Wanrou came over to support Xiaolu's shoulder, and asked, "Xiaolu, are you scared? This is a misunderstanding, don't take it to heart." Xiaolu nodded. Ever since she received the order to go undercover next to Zhang Wanrou, she knew that Wanrou must be a member of a criminal group, but because she never got any evidence, she always had a little fantasy in her heart.When she was held in the head by a gun just now, her illusion was completely shattered.She finally confirmed Zhang Wanrou's identity in her heart.Since she is a member of a criminal group, she must be brought to justice.This is my mission!Thinking that she might be sent to the guillotine by himself, but she is using her life to guarantee that she is not a policeman, Zhang Xiaolu has mixed feelings in her heart. "Sister, what are they doing? Why are they carrying guns with them?" Xiaolu seemed to be terrified, and turned her head to ask after a while. "It's nothing, these people like to play with knives and guns, and use them to scare people. Ah Cheng, who was injured by you that day, is his younger brother, and he came to seek revenge. Now the matter has been settled, and it's all right." "Is it really all right? You scared me to death just now, are you sure he will listen to you and stop seeking revenge from me?" Xiaolu asked while grabbing Wanrou's arm. "Even if he doesn't listen to me, he dare not disobey the prince's order. The prince has ordered him to go back just now." Wan judo. "Really? The prince really has such a great ability?" Xiaolu was still worried. "Don't worry, it's really all right. Xiaolu, don't make moves so fast in the future, you can only do it with my consent. Do you know?" Wanju said. "I see, I was really impulsive that day, when I heard those two bastards say that about you..." "I know, you are standing out for me. I didn't expect you to be so good at martial arts after leaving the martial arts school for so long. With you by my side, I am not afraid of others bullying me anymore." Wanrou smiled, looking very relieved. "Thank you, Xiaolu, I believe you will not disappoint my trust in you." "Of course, I will live up to my sister's trust in me." Xiaolu looked at Wanrou and said. What Zhang Xiaolu didn't know was that Zhang Wanrou sent someone to Guangzhou to investigate her the day after she shot and injured Aaron and Acheng.The people they sent went to the Provincial People's Hospital and found out that a woman named Li Xiuqin was indeed suffering from kidney disease, and she had to come here every week for dialysis.Someone came to show Zhang Xiaolu's photo to the hospital staff, and the hospital staff recognized that she was indeed Li Xiuqin's daughter, and she paid the monthly treatment fee at the billing office.Someone came back to report to Zhang Wanrou and asked if further investigation was needed.Zhang Wanrou said "no need" after listening to the report.At this moment, she had no doubts about Zhang Xiaolu.That's why she dared to guarantee Zhang Xiaolu with her own life.A few mornings later, as soon as Xiaolu entered the office, she heard the phone ring.It was Zhang Wanrou's call. "I'm going to leave the country for a while, and I've reached the gate. I just thought of explaining to you, when I'm not around, take care of the club for me, don't let people cause trouble, and call the police." "What happened? When will you be back?" "Don't ask, I'm leaving soon." After Wanrou finished speaking, she hung up the phone.Listening to the "beep" sound on the phone, Xiao Lu was stunned for a few seconds, and then slowly put down the phone.The brain began to spin rapidly.Xiaolu heard something unusual from Zhang Wanrou's voice just now, she seemed to be in a state of tension and panic.Something must have happened to make her decide to leave the country when the customs office just came to work in the morning.An ominous premonition welled up in Xiaolu's heart.Could it be that Zhang Wanrou wants to run away? !Xiaolu broke out in a cold sweat at her own thought.She instinctively picked up the phone, wanting to tell Lin Zhiqiang, after dialing two numbers, she put the phone down again.Will not.Zhang Wanrou came into Director Mi's sight two years ago, and her whereabouts have long been under surveillance. She will not be touched until the drug factory is found.On Zhang Wanrou's side, the club is still operating normally, and she has just acquired a pharmaceutical factory, so she will not leave so many properties and escape without any threats.Moreover, Xiaolu is confident that Wanrou already has feelings for her, and if she really wants to run away, she will reveal some information to herself.Maybe, she just has something urgent to go abroad, and she will be back in a few days.Xiaolu spent eight days in anxiety.On the ninth day, I finally heard that Wanrou had returned.After entering the customs, she went straight back to the seaside villa and did not come out.In the evening, Xiaolu took a box of wontons to the villa to find her, opened the door with a password, and went upstairs.Pushing open the bedroom door, she saw Wanrou lying on the bed with a pale face.Seeing Xiaolu come in, she nodded slightly and did not speak.Xiaolu opened the lunch box and asked cautiously: "What's the matter, sister, are you too tired on the road?" Seeing that Wanrou didn't say a word, she said again: "I haven't eaten dinner yet, I bought a bowl of wontons, wake up Let's eat something." Wanrou sat up slowly, and Xiaolu handed her the lunch box and spoon.Wanrou reluctantly ate two mouthfuls, and suddenly shed tears.Xiaolu asked anxiously: "What happened? Elder sister, why are you crying?" Wanrou scooped up a wonton with a spoon, stared at it, and said slowly: "Wanqing also likes to eat wonton the most. Remember the wontons. When she and I lived in Guangzhou two years ago, she often asked the driver to go to Longgang Night Market to buy a bowl of Huangji wontons for supper." "Wanqing, what's wrong with Wanqing?" Xiaolu asked.Wanrou put down the lunch box, took Xiaolu's hand and said, "Wanqing, she's dead. I just passed the first seven days yesterday." Xiaolu was startled: "What? Wanqing is dead! How did she die?" "Wanqing was diagnosed with congenital heart disease when she was born, and she underwent heart surgery when she was 3 years old. After growing up, her heart function is still relatively weak, and she often suffers from palpitations and arrhythmias. I sent her to the hospital two years ago. I went to a martial arts school to learn Tai Chi and Jiu-Jitsu because I want her to learn to regulate her heart rhythm. The air quality in Singapore is better than Hong Kong. I sent her to Singapore to study and hired an aunt to take care of her. Nine days ago, my aunt called me and said Something happened to Qing, and when I arrived in Singapore, I saw Wanqing's body." Wanrou spoke slowly word by word. "What kind of stimulation did you receive, did you have a heart attack?" Xiaolu asked carefully. "Guess what stimulated Wanqing?" Wanrou asked back. "I don't know, I can't guess." Xiaolu had a premonition from Wanrou's expression, but she didn't dare to imagine further. "It's the prince, it's the old bastard who is not as good as a pig or dog, who killed him!" Wanrou said through gritted teeth. "Ah! What's going on?" Xiaolu screamed softly, and squeezed Wanrou's hand tightly. "Didn't you ask me, my parents died when I was 5 years old, how could I have a younger sister who is so much younger than me? Wanqing, it's not my sister, but my daughter." Wan Rou said. Although Xiaolu had vaguely guessed the answer, she still wanted to hear what Wanrou had to say. "The prince adopted eight girls from orphanages all over the world. He put us together and trained us in various skills. Those who disobeyed were beaten, shut up in a dark room, and had no food. He wanted to train us to be like him.忠实的狗，长大了为他卖命赚钱。别看他常年烧香拜佛，整日佛珠不离手，其实他是个色魔，每当他办事不顺或在做重大决定之前，必须奸淫一名处女。我们都没有逃过他的魔掌。我们这八个女孩子，一个不堪凌辱自尽了，一个逃跑被抓回来打死了，还有两个病死了，长大成人的只有四个。我被他派到深圳，替他看管他在深圳的产业。这几年我对他唯命是从，从来也没出过错，不知道为他赚了多少钱，可他，居然还不肯放过婉晴！我在婉晴的枕头下找到一本日记本，最后一页上面写着：'我好害怕，姐姐，救救我！'”婉柔说到最后提高了音量，眼神变得十分恐怖。晓露抓紧了婉柔的手臂，没有打断她。 “我把负责照顾婉晴的阿姨找来，许给她钱，她告诉我王爷来过，当天晚上进了婉晴的房间，王爷走后，阿姨进去看婉晴，发现婉晴晕倒在床上，床单上有血，打电话叫救护车送到医院已经救不回来了……”说到这里，婉柔泣不成声。晓露紧紧地抱住婉柔。婉柔瘦了许多，娇小的身躯在晓露的怀里不停颤抖，让晓露不由起了爱怜之心。 “一个月前婉晴打电话给我，抱怨我不去看她，我答应这个寒假陪她去日本的富士山写生。你不知道吧，婉晴喜欢画画，她画的山水画可好看了。” 婉柔痴痴地说。 看见婉柔的样子，晓露也很难过。眼前浮现出婉晴天真甜美的形象，不禁也落下了眼泪。过了一会儿，她轻轻地问：“婉晴的父亲呢？” “婉晴是我16岁那年生下的，其实是个孽种。他的父亲只是生物学上的精子提供者，在现实中对她对我都毫无意义。现在婉晴死了，我也解脱了，更没必要提他了。” 婉柔抽出一张纸巾擦干了眼泪，止住了这个话题。婉柔不愿提，晓露也不好再问。婉晴的父亲便成了一个永远的秘密。婉柔沉默了一会儿，起身从行李箱里拿出一个相框。 “婉晴的东西我都烧了，只留下这张照片。” 是两年前在省武校，晓露比赛结束后与婉晴的合影。 那一天，也是晓露与婉柔的第一次见面。这还是晓露第一次看到这张照片。她和婉晴并肩站在操场上，婉晴亲热地把脑袋往晓露这边靠，眼睛笑得如弯月。晓露记得自己当时只是勉强做了一个微笑的表情，但婉柔把自己微笑的瞬间捕捉得很好，相片上自己笑得很自然。晓露看得百感交集。她回想起那天下午的情景。当时无论如何想不到，自己的命运会和这对姐妹（母女）紧密地缠绕在一起。更不会想到，两年后，这位美得像瓷娃娃一样的婉晴就已命丧黄泉，而自己，再也不会有这样清纯的面容。婉柔轻轻地用手指不停地抚摸婉晴的脸，那神情让晓露以为婉晴只是站到镜框里，多摸一会儿，她就会复活，从镜框里走出来。晓露的眼睛湿润了，她走过去搂住婉柔。 “姐姐，想哭你就哭吧。堵在心里难受。” 晓露轻轻地说。 婉柔好似被人从梦中叫醒，她看了看晓露，眼睛里一滴泪也没有：“哭有什么用？我已经哭够了，不想再哭。” 她推开晓露站起来，说：“我们走！” “去哪里？”晓露问。 “跟着我走就是。” 婉柔抱着相框，拿起台上的皮包，顾自走了出去。晓露跟着她下了楼。婉柔一声不响地发动了汽车。汽车开进了关内，七拐八拐来到一条老街，在一个巷口停下来。晓露随婉柔下了车。她习惯性地观察了一下四周的环境。只见弄堂口开着一家小店，小得不能再小的店面，中年男店主端坐在里面，他的身后琳琅满目地陈放着各种日用品。两人走进弄堂。弄堂很窄。晓露来深圳这么久，还是第一次来到这样的弄堂里。弄堂两旁的屋子为清一色的水磨砖墙，看起来有好几十年的历史了，虽然残旧，但并不显得颓败。屋子的两旁皆建有高耸的山墙，状似大锅的耳朵，墙壁上还雕刻着花鸟图案。晓露在广州下关见过这样的老屋，知道这叫“锅耳屋”，是解放前家境殷实的人家才造得起的房子。婉柔在巷尾一户人家停下，推开虚掩的木门，跨过门槛走了进去。一位穿玄色碎花唐衫的中年妇女迎了出来，冲着婉柔叫：“小姐，你来了。” 婉柔点点头，叫了声吴姐。吴姐转身进去，过了一会儿，用铜盆捧了一盆水出来。 婉柔用铜盆里的水净了手，接过吴姐递过来的白毛巾，擦干了手。点燃了三炷香，来到堂屋正位的神龛前跪下。晓露一进屋就已经注意到神龛上挂着一对男女的画像，案上奉着香烛，中间摆着一盘贡品。正揣度这被供奉者为何人，看到婉柔跪下，毕恭毕敬地磕头，突然醒悟到这是她父母的牌位。她在告知父母婉晴去世的消息。几分钟后，婉柔站起来。晓露看到婉柔眼里依稀含着眼泪。她捧着那张合影，往楼上走去。晓露犹豫了一下，跟了上去。木制楼梯每被踩一下，便发出“吱呀”的声音，在这种情境下听起来有些瘆人。好像小猫在撒娇，又有点像婴儿在哭泣。婉柔上到二楼，在一间房门前停下。她闭着眼，做了一个深呼吸，下决心似的推开了房门。听到木门被推开的声音的瞬间，晓露的心颤了一下。觉得婉晴的幽灵就躲在里面。电灯亮了。晓露看清这是一间女孩的闺房。碎花的床罩，粉红色的枕头，床头上还摆着一个半人高的毛绒小熊。房间素净整洁，空气中似乎还飘着淡淡的香气。晓露知道这是婉晴曾经住过的房间，不觉屏住了呼吸。婉柔取下墙上的一幅画框，把婉晴与晓露的合影挂了上去。然后指着旁边的几幅画对晓露说：“这些都是婉晴画的，画得好吧？”晓露不懂画，但亦能从这几幅水粉画中看出作画者的天分。她再次将目光转向相片上的婉晴，想到这个有如此天分的少女竟被王爷蹂躏，以那样悲惨的方式死去，生命的指针停摆在15岁，晓露心里大恸。 “姐姐，你就不打算替婉晴报仇吗？”晓露问。婉柔的眼睛突然射出一道寒光。这寒光让晓露的眼睛花了一下。转瞬间，寒光消失，婉柔平静地说：“婉晴一生下来，我就知道她活不到成年的。早就做好了她随时可能离去的心理准备。她走了，表示她在人间的苦难已经受完。我能做的，是为她祈祷，下辈子投胎到一个好人家罢了。” “姐姐，我不信这是你的真心话。婉晴才15岁，就这么死了，你会甘心？” “我甘不甘心，能改变已经发生的事情吗？” “难道王爷这么对你，你还愿意为他卖命？”晓露逼问道。 “上了他这条船，就别想下来了，下来也是葬身鱼腹。都是一个死，死法不同罢了。” 婉柔叹了一口气。 “就不能想想办法吗？如果姐姐需要我帮助，我万死不辞！”晓露激动地说。 婉柔看着晓露，良久才道：“你不用掺和进来了，你就帮我好好打理俱乐部那些杂事吧。” “姐姐不相信我？我们俩好了这么久了，你还不相信我？”晓露问。 “姐姐当然相信你。只是有些事你真的不必知道。这是为你好，姐姐不想害你。” “姐姐，你如果相信我，就让我帮助你，我愿意与姐姐同生共死！”晓露拉着婉柔的手发誓。婉柔站起来，低着头在房间走了几步，似乎在思考什么。晓露屏住呼吸看着她。 终于，她思索完毕，止步站在晓露面前，看着晓露的眼睛说：“晓露，姐姐相信你，是真的想帮我。但现在我还不想把你拉进来。你是婉晴的偶像，我不想让婉晴在地下怪我。” “姐姐！”晓露叫道。 “别说了！”婉柔打断了晓露的话：“你明天去帮我办一件事情吧。” “什么事？”晓露问。 “去帮我采购一批冬装和学习用具。这件事原来都是我亲自做，但最近我可能忙不过来了，只能委托你帮忙。” Wan judo. “采购这些东西干什么？”晓露问。 “是给孤儿院的孩子们的。过几天就是圣诞节了，你陪我去孤儿院看看。” “没想到姐姐还在做慈善。” 晓露心里有些意外。 “这不是慈善，是了却自己的心愿，让自己好受些。所以每年都会给孤儿院捐些钱物。我还打算在内地捐助100名失学的女童，帮助她们回到学校。” Wan Rou said. “姐姐，你原来是一个这么善良的人。” Xiaolu said.婉柔苦笑了一下：“你以为我是个恶人吗？” “不，不，不！我一直觉得姐姐是好人啊。” 晓露连忙解释。 “我也不知道自己是好人还是坏人。这个世界上，是非善恶不是那么容易分得清的。这100个女孩子的学费是替婉晴捐的。晓露，你理解吗？”婉柔用幽怨的眼神看着晓露说。 晓露点点头，握住了婉柔的手。两人情不自禁地将目光转向墙上那张合影。两个红衣少女在蓝天下灿烂地微笑。晓露再次落泪。她发现自己的模样与两年前大不一样了，她看着相片上那个有些陌生的自己，觉得自己是那样爱她。两人下了楼。看到吴姐垂手站在楼梯旁，婉柔对她点点头，从皮包里拿出一沓钱给她。吴姐接过来，低声说：“多谢小姐。” 出了大门，婉柔挽着晓露的手，慢慢走在弄堂的石板路上。婉柔道：“这间老房子是我三年前买的，用来供奉父母的牌位。两年前婉晴来深圳时，也住在这里。婉晴走后，每个月的初一和十五如果我在深圳，便会来这里给父母上香。这些年，有些心里话，我只有讲给父母听。让在天上的父母知道，他们的女儿在做什么。他们会为我保守秘密。” 晓露点点头，没有说话。今晚的事对她是个震撼，她对婉柔又多了一层了解，她感到自己在渐渐走近婉柔的内心，可是，走近的结果却更让她迷惑。在弄堂口，她再次回头看了看。昏暗的街灯下，一个老人躺在自己家门口的竹椅上，旁边的收音机里放着粤剧名伶红线女的唱段《牡丹亭惊梦》。老人听得摇头晃脑，如痴如醉。 12月24日上午，天气晴好。晓露开着一辆商务面包车陪婉柔来到深圳市儿童福利院。院长领着福利院的孩子们到门口迎接。婉柔每年都来福利院几次，这里的孩子都认识她了，一见她下车便高兴地鼓掌，围了上来。院长代表福利院接受了婉柔捐助给孩子们的衣物和学习用具，对她表示感谢。婉柔与院长办好捐赠手续，又回到汽车里拿出一个很大的袜子形的布口袋，招呼孩子们过来。 “今天是平安夜，圣诞老爷爷特别喜欢女孩子，给女孩子多准备了一件礼物，女孩子到我这边来！”婉柔用轻快的语调说。 女孩子们立即把婉柔围起来，用渴望的眼神等待着。婉柔从袜子口袋里拿出一个个漂亮的洋娃娃，分给女孩子们。看着女孩子们脸上露出惊喜的笑容，婉柔笑得更灿烂了。晓露在旁边看着婉柔。婉柔今天打扮得很清新，穿着一套白色的休闲运动服，头发简单地扎成马尾，没有化妆。晓露觉得今天的婉柔显得特别漂亮，有一种炫目的美。她温婉地笑着，将洋娃娃一个个塞到女孩子们的怀里，最后她拿起一个洋娃娃抱在怀里，对孩子们说：“你们以后就是这个娃娃的妈妈了，你们要好好爱护她，任何时候都不要丢弃她，记住了吗？” “我天天晚上睡觉都会抱着她！”一个女孩说。 “我吃饭的时候也带着她，和她一起吃！” “我还要帮她洗澡，给她换衣服！”……女孩们纷纷表态。婉柔微笑着看着她们点头。 “我们来唱歌，好不好？”婉柔道。 “好！”女孩们抱着洋娃娃站好。 “世上只有妈妈好，有妈的孩子是个宝。投进妈妈的怀抱，幸福享不了。没有妈妈最苦恼，没妈的孩子像根草。离开妈妈的怀抱，幸福哪里找……”婉柔带头唱起来。孩子们的声音渐渐地和了进去，一边唱着一边轻轻拍打着怀里的洋娃娃。晓露看着和孩子们一起唱歌的婉柔，不禁热泪盈眶。婉柔和晓露留在福利院和孩子们一起吃午饭。前一天婉柔给福利院捐了10万元钱，注明是为孩子们改善伙食的专款，特地嘱咐今天的午餐要有红烧排骨和烧鹅腿。婉柔和晓露坐在饭堂的角落里看着孩子们在排队领饭菜。婉柔低声对晓露说：“我小时候在的那家孤儿院，一星期只能吃两顿荤菜。有一次一个给我们孤儿院捐钱的人来孤儿院参观，那天午饭我们吃的就是红烧排骨和烧鹅腿，当时我还不到6岁，第一次在孤儿院吃到这么丰盛的午餐，印象特别深刻，总盼望着那个人再来。后来我知道了，每次有人来参观，就会有好东西吃。我们那个孤儿院是教会办的，每天吃饭前都要祷告，我常常把祷告词偷偷改成希望明天有人来参观。” 婉柔说着“咯咯”笑起来。晓露听得有些心酸，说道：“没想到你的童年过得这么苦。” 婉柔渐渐敛起笑容，过了半晌才道：“那时，每天盼望着有人来领养我。每次孤儿院来人，我们这些孩子就站成一排，让来人挑选。我每次都希望他们挑中我，把胸脯挺得高高的，希望引起来人的注意。可是我小时候长得太瘦弱，不爱说话，也不会笑，没人看上我。每次落选都让我难过好一阵子。我在孤儿院一直待了五年，终于有一天我被人看上领走了，我高兴极了，心想总算离开这里，去过正常的家庭生活了。没想到，领养我的是王爷，后来的日子还不如在孤儿院呢……” 晓露第一次听到婉柔讲述自己的童年，心里五味杂陈。领到饭菜的孩子坐在餐桌前开始吃饭，有些孩子迫不及待地大口地啃着烧鹅腿，也有些孩子把烧鹅腿小心地放在碗边，要留到最后吃。每个孩子脸上都是兴奋的表情。 “孩子们都很感谢你。你每次来他们就有烧鹅腿吃。” 院长为两人端来两份饭菜，笑容满面地对婉柔说。 婉柔起身谢了院长，说：“我也是孤儿院出来的孩子，我知道他们的感受。能为他们做点事让我很高兴。” 院长露出惊讶的表情：“原来张总也在孤儿院待过？难怪。我要把你的故事告诉孩子们，激励他们，让他们向你学习，将来成为一个有成就的人。” 婉柔的脸色变了一下，说道：“千万别把我的故事告诉孩子们，也别让他们学我。各人有各人的命运，无法复制，也无法选择。” 院长接着问：“张总，当年你是不是被一个特别好的家庭领养了？”婉柔顿了顿，微笑着答道：“领养我的那个人是个坏人，我在他们家吃了很多苦。幸亏他死得早，给我留下一笔财产。所以我要告诫院长，对来领养孩子的人要严格审查，别让坏人把孩子领走了。” 婉柔说完这话，起身就走。院长目瞪口呆地看着她的背影，十分尴尬。在车上，婉柔对晓露说：“我刚才有些失态了，可能把院长吓坏了。最近不知怎么的，我的情绪常常失控。” 晓露说：“我理解你的心情，婉晴刚刚去世，你心情不好。刚才又触景生情了。” 婉柔沉默良久，喟然叹道：“这个世界上，也许只有你能理解我了。” 晓露左手握着方向盘，伸出右手握了握婉柔的手，道：“相信我，我会永远站在你这边。” 婉柔勉强笑了笑，点点头，将目光转向窗外。
