Chapter 16 Chapter Fifteen

Chen Jiao, who returned to Shenzhen, became Zhang Xiaolu again.She has become more active than before, dealing with all kinds of people in a variety of ways every day.For Zhang Wanrou, she became more active than before.As long as Wanrou is in Shenzhen, she spends as much time with her as possible, eating, drinking and dancing with her, and often collects all kinds of small gifts from all over the world to give her.Xiaolu's cleverness and romance won Wanrou's favor. She often let Xiaolu stay overnight in her villa, and the relationship between the two became more and more harmonious.Bo Tsai became jealous, and the two often quarreled over it.One day, when Wanrou came back from Thailand, Xiaolu was going to pick her up at the gate, but Bozai stopped her.

"where are you going?" "Go pick up my eldest sister." "Aren't you coming back tonight?" "Perhaps. My eldest sister and I haven't seen each other for a week. She will probably keep me there." "Is your relationship too close?" "She's my eldest sister. Isn't it good to have a close relationship with her? Don't you also talk about your elder brother all day long?" "I talk about big brother all day long, but I don't live with him at night! Do you think your relationship is normal?" "What's wrong?"

"Do you know what people outside say about you? They say you are gay! Is it normal that Zhang Wanrou is such a coquettish woman, but she has no men around her? I heard that she likes to play with girls, and she has had troubles. In a bar more than a year ago, two women fought for favor, and one woman beat the other into the hospital..." Before Bo Zai finished speaking, Xiao Lu interrupted him sharply: "Spreading rumors! Tell me, who said that? I'll cut his tongue out! Zhang Wanrou hates people chewing their tongues behind their backs the most, so I told her to let her kill this person's whole family!"

"Xiaolu, I found that you look like a different person when you come back from Jilin. You are domineering and domineering. You really look like a big sister!" Xiaolu had a victorious smile on her face and walked away.Bozai looked at her back, smiled wryly and shook his head.During those nights when Xiaolu stayed at Zhang Wanrou's villa, Bo Zai would hang around in the entertainment city, looking for a lady to accompany her for drinks.More is to go to the casino to bet and gamble until dawn.Zhang Wanrou came back from Thailand this time, feeling obviously depressed.Ren Xiaolu teased her in every possible way, but she couldn't get excited.Xiaolu asked her if she was not feeling well.She said yes, she didn't sleep well for several days.Wanrou sat on the head of the bed and lit a cigarette, which showed that she was extremely depressed at this time.

Xiaolu also took out a cigarette, put it in her mouth, lit it, and slowly exhaled a circle of blue smoke.She looked at Zhang Wanrou and realized for the first time that she was a bit old.The skin on her neck and chin began to loosen, her face turned blue, and fine wrinkles appeared around her eyes.I don't feel like I put on makeup during the day, but after removing the makeup, there is no cover-up of makeup and powder, and the original face is revealed.After all, she is a woman over 30 years old, Xiaolu sighed in her heart. "What happened?" Xiaolu asked. "No. I just feel tired, my whole body is very tired, and that kind of tiredness seems to emerge from the bottom of my heart."

Wanrou said softly, "I have lost the ability to feel happiness, can you understand?" "You are too tired. Managing so many businesses, flying around at home and abroad, and not taking a good rest, hard-working people will be exhausted." Xiaolu said. Wanrou sighed and did not speak. "Sister, if you have any thoughts, you can tell me, and see what I can do to help." Xiaolu put her arms around Wanrou's shoulders and said softly. Wanrou didn't answer, she smoked silently, then suddenly said after a long time: "Xiaolu, you can go on a trip with me."

"Travel? Where are you going?" Xiaolu asked unexpectedly. "It's spring now, let's go to Jiangnan." "Jiangnan?" A delighted smile appeared on Xiaolu's face. "That's great. It is said that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Are we going there?" "Yes. Tomorrow you can book a plane ticket." Wanrou stubbed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said as if making up her mind. Two days later, Zhang Wanrou and Xiaolu appeared in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province.They rented a black-topped boat and asked the boatman to row slowly along the waterway. The two of them sat in the boat and drank Shaoxing rice wine while admiring the scenery of the water.

"It's so beautiful!" Xiaolu sighed. "Compared with Hangzhou, I like the small city of Shaoxing more. I like the tranquility and simplicity here, I like the misty and rainy weather, and I like these willows swaying in the wind." There was the melodious chirping of birds in the air, and the two looked up to see a pair of swallows flying across the green water, leaving black silhouettes behind. "Look, swallow, swallow!" Xiaolu exclaimed in surprise. "Little Swallow, wear a floral dress, come here every spring..." Wanrou sang softly.After coming to Jiangnan, blown by the moist and soft wind of Jiangnan, the haze on her face was swept away, and she became lively in a rare way.

"I have never seen swallows in Shenzhen, nor have I smelled such clean air." Xiaolu said. "Hmph!" Wanrou snorted through her nose. "How can Shenzhen compare with here! There is a smell of copper everywhere, how can it compare with my picturesque hometown?" "Hometown? Oh, yes, you said that your hometown is Shaoxing. No wonder you must come here. How long have you not been back?" "After leaving, I never came back." Said softly. "If my parents didn't want to get rich, and the whole family didn't move to Hong Kong, my life would be completely different. They must still be alive, and I married someone here, and I'm holding a baby every day." How good would it be for the bamboo basket to wash rice and wash clothes by this river!" Hearing Wanrou's words, Xiaolu also felt sad.The two came to the bow, leaned on each other, silently watching the waves on the water.

"If I can be buried here after my death, and look at the green mountains and green waters here every day, I will have no regrets." Wanrou said sadly. "Okay, why do you want to die?" Xiaolu asked softly. "People are mortal. Recently I always have bad premonitions... The leaves fall back to their roots, and they die in their hometown. I don't think I have such a blessing. These days I always dream about my mother and the river I played in when I was a child. So I want to come and see Look, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future." Wan Rou said.

"Do you remember where your previous home was?" Xiaolu asked. "Can not remember." Wanrou shook her head. "I was only 5 years old at the time, and I didn't even remember which town my family was in. I didn't even want to look for it. If any relative or neighbor recognized me, I would be so embarrassed." "Why?" Xiaolu asked.Wanrou didn't answer, but pinched her palm with the tip of her hand. "In fact, this is enough. I have seen the river in my dream and know what my hometown looks like. In the future, when I dream back at midnight and miss my hometown, I will have a real picture." Wanrou's sentimental emotion infected Xiaolu.In front of her eyes were the birch trees on the banks of the Songhua River. The eyes of different shapes on the trees were blinking, and the golden yellow leaves were flying all over the sky.She hugged Wanrou tightly. "Xiaolu." Wanrou whispered in her ear, "Do you feel happy being with me like this?" "Happy, very happy." Xiaolu replied, "I really hope to be with my sister forever." "Me too. I think it would be worth dying here today." Wanrou said affectionately. "I was thinking this way just now, if the boat capsizes suddenly and the two of us fall into the river, I will definitely not struggle, and hold hands with you and sink quietly into the river. Let this river be our burial place, It’s also a beautiful thing.” Xiaolu said. Wanrou was moved. She kissed Xiaolu, looked at her and said, "Let's be destined for three lives! If there is an afterlife, you will be a man and I will be a woman in the next life. I will marry you. We will build a small house by the river. house, be an ordinary couple happily, and have two or three children. Okay?" Xiaolu stared blankly at Wanrou's face, and burst into tears. "Why are you crying? Do you also feel good?" Wanrou gently stroked Xiaolu's ears, and said, "Xiaolu, Xiaolu, you can't be called Xiaolu in your next life, you have to change your name." "Why?" Xiaolu asked, wiping away her tears. "Xiaolu, it's the dew at dawn, it evaporates as soon as the sun comes out. It's too short, it's not good." Wanrou shook her head and said. "Then what would you like my name to be?" "Changsheng. Is your name Changsheng?" Wanrou laughed. "In your next life, you will wait for me at the pier in Shaoxing, and I will come to you. I will call 'Changsheng', and you will come over." Xiaolu asked: "Then what's your name?" Wanrou thought about it seriously, "My name is Chunyan! Chunyan, okay?" "Okay. Chunyan." Xiaolu called out. "Hey!" Wanrou laughed. "Changsheng, Chunyan, it sounds like a perfect match. You must remember it in your next life!" "I must remember." Xiaolu said.Wanrou leaned on Xiaolu's shoulder, lifted her collar, and suddenly bit her hard on the shoulder. "What are you doing?" Xiaolu was caught off guard and cried out in pain. "Leave a mark on you." After Wanrou finished speaking, she bit the index finger of her left hand, blood came out. "Drain the blood." Wanrou raised her left hand in front of Xiaolu.Xiaolu lowered her head and sucked her fingers.A satisfied smile appeared on Wanrou's face. "My blood is already in your heart. You can never betray me." Wanrou's crazy behavior makes Xiaolu feel very uncomfortable.She looked at Wanrou's smiling face, and her heart was full of bitterness.A few minutes later, Wanrou regained her composure.She asked Xiaolu, "You seem to have changed a lot since you came back from your hometown." "Has it gone bad? A few days ago, Bo Zai also said that I was full of bandits. How can I not be a bandit if I hang out with those hooligans like Brother Hong? In this world, only the strong can have food, and if you are weak, someone will bully you. Come up. And now I have to support two families, the adoptive mother and the real mother are sick, and I need money to settle them. And my father and sister, I want to let them live a good life." Xiaolu said. "If you need money, you can find me. I will give you any money." Wan judo. "My sister has given me enough money, and I am already worthy of it. I hope to make money with my own ability, so I can feel more at ease." Xiaolu said, "When I earn enough money, I will live in another place." "That's a good idea. Where do you want to live?" Wanrou asked. "I haven't figured it out yet." Xiaolu scratched her head, "It's still early, it won't be too late to think about it after earning enough money." Wanrou also smiled. "Okay, think about it slowly. Stay with me wherever you go." "Of course, we'll be together forever." Xiaolu took Wanrou's hand. After returning from Shaoxing, life returned to its original state.Wanrou is still very busy and often goes abroad, sometimes staying outside for several weeks.Xiaolu shuttles back and forth between the club and the entertainment city, and when Wanrou is not around, she can freely enter and leave her office.She inspected every corner of the club, but still did not find any clues of an underground drug factory.She couldn't help feeling admiration for Zhang Wanrou. It was not something ordinary people could do to hide the drug factory so secretly and be safe after being monitored for so long.The longer I have been in contact with Wanrou, the more I feel that this woman is unfathomable.Needless to say, her appearance is beautiful and moving, and she is also generous and responsible in her conduct.She supports girls in impoverished mountainous areas to study and regularly donates to orphanages, and it is not for show, because every time she donates, she is always anonymous.But since the last bombing incident, Xiaolu has learned how cruel she is.Zhang Wanrou is a female drug lord with extraordinary methods and murder without blinking an eye. This is Director Mi's evaluation of her.But when I really got in touch with her, I couldn't connect her with this evaluation anyway.Xiaolu gave up searching.She waited for Zhang Wanrou to take the initiative to show her cards.After the trip to Shaoxing, she believes that this day is not far away.During this period, something happened, which almost made Xiaolu lose her balance.She met Huang Shirong in Xingxinglang Entertainment City.That night, it happened to be the birthday of a friend of Brother Hong, and many people were invited to the entertainment city.After drinking and eating, everyone danced in the ballroom.As Brother Hong's friend, Xiaolu naturally wants to socialize.She came to the stage and said a few words of blessing, and sang a song to add to the fun.Because she had to take care of Bo Zai's emotions, she declined the invitations of other men and only danced with him.Under the strafing of colorful laser lights, the men and women danced wildly to the sound of intense music.Xiaolu danced for a while, feeling as if someone was staring at her from behind.She turned her head several times, but didn't find the target.This feeling made her very uncomfortable. She excused herself to go to the bathroom and left the ballroom. When she came out of the bathroom, at the corner of the corridor, she heard someone calling "A-Jiao".Her body shook suddenly, and when she turned around, she saw Huang Shirong in casual clothes. "A-Jiao, it really is you!" Ah Rong walked over.Xiaolu didn't answer, she continued to walk out quickly, and stopped at a corner of the dance hall.Ah Rong followed. "Brother Arong, why are you here?" Xiaolu asked.Xiaolu is very surprised to meet Arong here.It appears he has been demobilized from the army.Where do you work now?How has he been these two years?Is Aunt Lan okay?At that moment, countless questions came to Xiaolu's mind, but she couldn't ask them. "I was just going to ask you, didn't you go back to Jilin? Why did you appear in such a place?" Arong asked. "It's hard to say, it's hard to tell you clearly now." Xiaolu looked around vigilantly.Fortunately, the lights here are dim, the music is deafening, and no one pays attention to them. "I recognized you just now when you were on stage, do you work here?" Arong asked.Xiaolu thought that Brother Arong had seen her performance on stage just now, and she was so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it. "Yes, I work here." she answered in a low voice. "What happened in the past two years? Why do you work in this kind of place?" Arong asked sternly. "What kind of place is this? This is a legitimate entertainment venue. Don't you also come to this kind of place to play?" Xiaolu retorted. "I am..." Ah Rong was at a loss for words. "Today is not the time to talk, you tell me your BP machine number, I will find you another day." Xiaolu hesitated for a moment, but still told him the number.Now that he has already encountered it, it would be more dangerous not to give it. Arong wrote down the number.He looked at Xiaolu, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes.Xiaolu didn't dare to look at him, and lowered her head.Ah Rong stroked her hair gently, then turned and left.Brother Arong did not contact her immediately as Gillian imagined, but let Gillian spend three days in a state of anxiety before sending her a page, and the two met at a teahouse near the bus station.Gillian went there in a white shirt and half-worn jeans, with no makeup applied on her face, which was indeed very different from her image of working in the entertainment city.When Ah Rong saw Ah Jiao, a smile appeared on his face. "This is my Gillian. She looks much better than the one with the wig and heavy makeup last time." "Brother Ah Rong, have you been demobilized from the army? Where do you work?" This was the question Gillian wanted to know the most. "It's been a year since I came back, and I'm working in the Provincial Public Security Bureau." Arong replied. "It's great that you finally became a policeman and entered the provincial department." Gillian was sincerely happy. "It was my father's former comrade-in-arms who helped. He is now a leader of the provincial department." Arong answered honestly. "Don't talk about me, tell me quickly, what happened in the past two years? I haven't heard from you since I went home last time. When I was demobilized and returned home, my mother told me that you were taken back to Jilin by your father. Yes. I wrote you a letter and it was returned, and the envelope said there was no such person. I kept telling my mother that I would go to Jilin to find you in person when I had a vacation. I couldn’t believe myself when I saw you in Xingxinglang that day. Eyes, so you are in Guangdong! How could you be so cruel and not contact me for so long?! What happened?" Arong asked eagerly. "I went back to Jilin. But I was not used to living in Jilin, so I secretly came to Shenzhen again." Ah Jiao said in a low voice. "Why don't you go home and have a look after coming to Shenzhen?" Arong asked back. "I do not dare to go." Gillian muttered. "Why? You've lived in our house for 15 years. Grandma hasn't abused you, right? You haven't had any news since you left. What does Grandma think? Do you know how sad she is? I've seen her before. I have cried secretly several times, don't you think you are too heartless!" Arong asked. "I haven't forgotten Aunt Lan's kindness in nurturing her. I didn't dare to visit her because I was afraid that she would be sad." Gillian said in a low voice. "What's your logic? What about me, why don't you dare to contact me?" Arong asked.Faced with Ah Rong's persecution, Ah Jiao pierced her heart like a thousand arrows.She looked at Arong and was speechless for a while. "Tell me, why? Let me die to understand." Arong asked. "I, I, I already have a boyfriend." Gillian's heart was broken, and she decided to cut the mess quickly. "Sure enough." Ah Rong sighed in despair, "I didn't expect you to fall in love so soon." "I'm sorry, Brother Arong. I actually, actually see you as an older brother. In my heart, you are my older brother, not a lover." Gillian said hesitantly. "do not talk." Ah Rong waved his hands in pain, "I see." "Sorry." "Don't say sorry again. As long as you are happy, you don't have to be sorry to me." A Rong looked at A Jiao, and asked softly, "Where is he from, does he treat you well?" "He is from Hong Kong and treats me very well." "So it's a Hong Kong businessman! Did you meet in a nightclub?" Arong asked. "yes." Gillian lowered her head and replied. "Is someone you know in a nightclub reliable? How much do you know about him?" "We have known each other for more than a year, and we still know each other quite well." Gillian answered. "Okay, I wish you happiness!" Arong said. "thanks." Speaking of which, there was an awkward silence.The two had nothing to say for a moment. "I asked you to meet here because I wanted to take you back to Foshan later. I asked for a leave of absence, and I plan to finish talking with you, and then I will go home with you to visit my mother. Now it seems that the plan has failed." Ah Rong sighed, holding his last hope and asked, "A-Jiao, are you still willing to go home with me?" "Next time. I must visit Aunt Lan when I have a vacation." Gillian said hard-heartedly. "A-Jiao, places like entertainment city and nightclubs hide filth and are a hotbed of crime. People who stay in such places for a long time can easily lose their way. You should change your job." Ah Rong said. "I will think about it." Gillian nodded. "What did you do at Xingxinglang that night?" "We're going to handle a case and track a guy there." Ah Rong said. Gillian didn't ask what the case was and who the person was following.She can't let Arong violate discipline.When bidding farewell, Gillian watched Brother Arong get into the car, and her heart felt as if it had been hollowed out.She watched dumbly as the car carrying brother Arong slowly drove away from her, tears welling up in her eyes. "Gambling" is the same as "drugs", once you touch it, you will become addicted.Bo Zai has now become a professional gambler, and he hangs around the casino almost every night. The good luck in the casino during this time has ignited his ambition to become the king of gambling.Ming Xinglang's underground casino can no longer satisfy his appetite. After being introduced, he found a job in the Lisboa Casino of Macau gambling king Stanley Ho. He is going to learn some management experience.In the few days before leaving, Bozai was very tender to Xiaolu.From time to time, he painted illusory pictures of great wealth and wealth to Xiaolu, and promised to marry Xiaolu within five years after getting rich.Xiaolu smiled lightly, noncommittal.That afternoon, Xiaolu sent Bo Tsai to pass the test.Entertained a group of friends in the entertainment city at night, and drove home until midnight.When she was looking for the key from the bag to open the door, a man's figure suddenly appeared beside her. "Ah!" Xiaolu was startled, and when she took a closer look, it was Ah Rong's gloomy face. "Why are you? I was taken aback. How do you know I live here?" Xiaolu asked. "Who else is in your family?" Arong asked. "No, I'm alone." Xiaolu secretly rejoiced in her heart that Bozai had left. "Go in and talk." Ah Rong ordered.After entering the door, Ah Rong glanced at the environment in the room, his face became more gloomy. "Is this the comfort zone that your Hong Kong businessman bought for you?" Arong asked coldly. "No. This is lent to me by my boss. It's my dormitory. The sports car is also hers." Gillian explained. "Really? Your boss is really generous. It seems that you have made a lot of money for him." Arong said.Gillian bowed her head and remained silent.Ah Rong suddenly became angry.He pointed hard at Gillian and said, "The price you pay is to wear heavy makeup and get drunk with people every day, and come home at 2 midnight?" "What are you doing? Are you following me home in the middle of the night just to scold me?" Gillian yelled. "Yes, I followed you, I've been watching you walk around like a courtesan all night, flirting with a group of hooligans, and watching you drive home drunk, how did you become so brazen! "Arong roared.Gillian was hurt by Ah Rong's words, she shouted: "Who are you to me, why do you care about me? You go, you go, I don't want you to do anything!" "You are my younger sister, my Gillian! I can't just watch you degenerate. I didn't realize that you are such a vain person since I was a child. How did you become like this now? Tell me, why?!" "No reason, I'm just greedy for vanity, I just like fine clothes and good food, I drive a famous sports car, and live in a villa! How about you! If you don't like it, just go and leave my house!" After Ah Jiao shouted, she turned and ran Go to the second floor.Ah Rong caught up and grabbed Ah Jiao in the corridor on the second floor. "Break up with him! Break up with your Hong Kong boyfriend! If he is a decent person, he won't let his girlfriend work in an entertainment place, he must not be sincere to you, you should leave him immediately!" "I know what kind of person he is better than you. You don't care who I hang out with, and you are not qualified!" Because of her guilty conscience, because of alcohol, and because she felt humiliated, Gillian began to speak nonsense, "You think you Who is it? Do you think you have the right to tell me what to do after we slept once? It was because I was fooled by you when I was young and ignorant..." "Slap!" Gillian was slapped across the face, interrupting her words.Ah Jiao wanted to fight back, but Ah Rong grabbed her hands forcefully, and the two started fighting.During the struggle, Gillian's backless dress was torn, revealing half of her body.Ah Jiao ran to the bedroom, just about to close the door, but was kicked away by Ah Rong.Arong picked up Ajiao and threw her on the bed.Regardless of physical strength or martial arts, Gillian was no match for Ah Rong. After struggling for a while, she gave up resistance and let him gallop on top of her.All is at peace.The two were silent in the dark, only hearing each other's breathing.After a long time, Ah Rong approached her and asked: "You are not young and ignorant now, are you?" Ah Jiao closed her eyes and said nothing. "A-Jiao, A-Jiao!" A-Jiao called softly, "Tell me, did you love me?" A-Jiao remained silent and did not respond. "I love you." Arong said clearly. "We slept in the same room and ate at the same dining table when I was young. When I didn't understand the relationship between men and women, my mother told me that you were my future wife. I didn't feel it at that time. Later I went to After joining the army and being separated from you, I found that I missed you so much, and your smiles often appeared in my dreams. During that visit, you finally became my woman, and my heart was at peace. I began to plan our life: find a stable job after demobilization, then marry you and have a lovely child. Every night I fall asleep in this imagination. In my heart, you are the only one in my life No one can replace my woman. I never thought that someone else would appear in our life. My mother told me that you were taken back to Jilin by your father. I couldn’t believe it. Don’t you know that we are Are you going to get married? How could you go away with your father, and you didn’t reveal any news to me! I was so angry with you, I felt hurt my self-esteem, and vowed never to miss you again. But after a while, I started Miss you, I wrote you a few letters, but they were all returned, I had a bad feeling, I imagined a few bad endings, you were kidnapped, got seriously ill, etc. Last time I went home, I was lying on my little bed, looking at your little bed opposite, thinking of the past, I couldn’t help crying. The crying called my mother, she sat by the bed and cried with me, saying that when I have a vacation, Take me to Jilin to find you, directly propose marriage to your father, and marry you back home." Ah Jiao slowly opened her eyes and looked at Ah Rong. "I entered the Criminal Investigation Department of the Provincial Department, and my work was very stressful every day, and there was no vacation at all. Many times I wanted to ask for leave from the leader, but I didn't know how to ask. I was very anxious, but I was helpless. I didn't expect that I was actually on the mission. It’s time to see you! You have become almost unknown to me. The girl who is as pure as a lily in my heart, the younger sister who likes Astro Boy has become a coquettish courtesan! And she also told me that she Already have a boyfriend! She only regards me as an older brother, and blames what happened to us as being young and ignorant!" Ah Rong became excited again.Gillian closed her eyes again in pain. "A-Jiao, please, leave Shenzhen and come home with me. It doesn't matter if you find another job with less money. We don't need so much money. Even if you don't work, I'm willing to support you, okay?" Ah Rong begged. "Not good. My work is not done yet, I can't leave Shenzhen." Gillian spoke. "What kind of job? What kind of job is that kind of job in an entertainment city! There's nothing you can't quit!" Arong asked. "Isn't a job in the entertainment city a job? My monthly salary is more than your annual salary. I want you to support me. Can you afford it?" Gillian suddenly exploded. "You!" Ah Rong was too angry to speak.He sighed and lay down. "Brother Arong." A-Jiao suddenly called out softly.Ah Rong ignored him and turned around.Ah Jiao stretched out her arms, hugged Ah Rong gently from behind, and began to kiss his ears.Ah Rong's originally stiff body reacted immediately, he turned around and began to respond enthusiastically, and the two blended together again.Both of them clearly felt the despair in the other's heart.Despair fueled their passion.again and again.Its daybreak.Ah Rong put on his clothes and prepared to leave.A Jiao said on the bed: "Brother Ah Rong, this is the last time, please don't come to me again in the future. I will ignore you if you come again." Ah Rong glanced at Gillian, and went downstairs without saying anything.After a while, she heard the sound of the door being slammed shut.Gillian got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.She looked at herself in the mirror, her make-up was still incomplete, her eyeliner was blurred into dark circles, her face was swollen, reminiscent of broken flowers and willows.This face looks so needy, she thought maliciously.Brother Arong won't love this face anymore.Thinking of this, Gillian felt relieved, but tears flowed down her cheeks. Wan Rou came back from the Philippines.Xiaolu went to pick her up, and found that her complexion was even more depressed, as if she had just suffered a serious illness, and even her demeanor had lost her former composure.She said she wanted to go to the club to deal with some matters, and asked Xiaolu to send her to the club, and then let Xiaolu go back.Xiaolu waited in her villa all night, but she didn't come back, and she didn't answer the phone.Xiaolu didn't go to work the next day, and waited for her at home.In the evening, she finally came back.Seeing Xiaolu at home, she didn't seem surprised at all. "You didn't come back last night, and you didn't answer the phone. I'm worried about you, so I'm waiting for you here." Xiaolu said. "Worried about me?" Wanrou's expression eased, "Come with me to the beach to relax. I have something to tell you." The two came to the beach, and Wanrou stopped on the beach where they walked for the first time. "Remember this place?" "Of course I remember, this is the place where we first went for a walk by the sea." Xiaolu answered. "Time flies, you have been by my side for almost two years. I still remember your appearance at that time, a little young and a little shy. Unlike now, you have become a well-known 'Sister Lulu' in the world gone." Wanrou sighed.Xiaolu smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's far behind my sister, no matter how good I am, I'm still a small role, under the light of my sister." "You have talent, and you are the material to do great things." Wanrou patted Xiaolu's shoulder. "I also realized a little under the influence of my sister." Xiaolu said modestly. Wanrou looked at Xiaolu and said, "Can I trust you?" "Of course. Don't you think it's too strange for my sister to say this?" "I've been in a bad mood lately." Wanrou's voice suddenly became hoarse, as if a mouthful of phlegm had blocked her throat, "One of my older sisters died." "Who? Who died?" Xiaolu asked in surprise. "A sister of mine, you haven't seen her before. She was killed by the prince." Wan Rou said. "Why?" Xiaolu unconsciously raised her voice. "Because she was targeted by the police. Like me, she was also adopted by the prince. We have eight sisters, and now there are only three left." Wan Rou said. Xiaolu looked at her without speaking, waiting for her next words.Wanrou stared at the sea surface in a daze. "What's the life of a person? If you say you're dead, what's the difference between it and a dog? What's the difference between living like this and dying?" "elder sister." Xiaolu was moved by her sadness, and gently supported her. "I've had enough of living in such fear and not knowing when the end will come. I don't want to live like this anymore." "What are your plans?" Xiaolu asked softly. "I want to leave here, settle abroad, and start a new life. Are you willing to go with me?" Wanrou turned her head, looked at Xiaolu and asked. "Where are you going?" "New Zealand. I like it there. We can find a quiet place to live and live a peaceful life. We don't have to fight with people, and we don't have to worry about other people plotting. Okay?" "Okay. I'll go with you. Ask me to go anywhere as long as you need me." Xiaolu answered.A faint smile appeared on Wanrou's face. "Would you like to do my sister a favor?" "Of course. What do you want me to do?" Xiaolu said without hesitation. "Help me deliver the batch." Said softly and clearly. Xiaolu's eyelids twitched violently, "What?" "Methamphetamine." Wanrou stared at Xiaolu intently, "That's methamphetamine." "no problem." Xiaolu said calmly, "Where and when will it be delivered?" "Tomorrow afternoon, I will tell you the specific location tomorrow." Wan judo. "Okay. I do." Xiaolu nodded and replied firmly. "I haven't confessed to you for so long. It's not that I don't trust you. It's a crime of beheading. I don't want to bring you in. Now I need a lot of money to arrange retreat and our future life, so I can only ask you to come out." .In this way, we are people on the same boat, and we can live together in the future.” "Well, I know. Thank you sister for thinking so." Xiaolu said. "Okay, let's go back. After talking with you, I feel much more comfortable. I haven't closed my eyes for 48 hours in a row, and I can sleep well tonight." Wanrou's expression relaxed a little, and she went to go back. "Where is the prince's drug factory?" Xiaolu asked. "I'll tell you when you come back from delivering the goods. Let's go back to sleep now, and you can't leave me until tomorrow afternoon." Wanrou said. "Sister, sister." Xiaolu called softly.Zhang Wanrou didn't respond. It seemed that she really hadn't closed her eyes for 48 hours. After falling asleep, she didn't wake up so easily.Xiaolu took out her mobile phone from under the pillow, quietly got out of bed, and turned her head suddenly when she reached the door.Zhang Wanrou was still sleeping deeply on the bed, breathing evenly.She tiptoed out of the bedroom door and stood outside the wall for a full three minutes. After confirming that Zhang Wanrou was not pretending to sleep and did not follow her out, she went downstairs and entered the bathroom.After carefully locking the door, she sat on the toilet, took out her mobile phone and dialed the emergency number.The phone rang once, and someone answered it.It was 3 o'clock in the morning, and Director Mi's voice sounded tireless, as if he was waiting for her call on the other end.Xiaolu briefly reported the conversation with Zhang Wanrou just now. "She finally has a showdown with you. Your two years of hard work have finally paid off." Director Mi said excitedly. "Is it okay to do it today?" Xiaolu asked. "No. I still don't know if this is a trap, or Zhang Wanrou's temptation to you." Director Mi paused for a few seconds before giving instructions, "You complete the deal for her first. You must see the drug factory with your own eyes." "yes." Xiaolu replied.Hang up the phone and delete the call history just now.Xiaolu returns to the bedroom, Wanrou is still sleeping soundly. Xiaolu went to bed gently, closed her eyes, and fell asleep after a while.The two slept until noon.After getting up, we went down to the first floor to have lunch together. "Xiaolu, did you sleep well last night?" Wanrou asked casually. "It took a while to fall asleep after going to bed, and after falling asleep, I became unconscious. It wasn't you who called me, and I still couldn't wake up." Xiao Lu was burying her head in her meal, when she heard this she raised her head and replied.Wanrou took a sip of the soup slowly, looked at Xiaolu and said, "What do you think about what I told you last night?" "I don't have any ideas. I just want to help my sister do something, and then leave here quickly. To be honest, I'm tired of here too, and I yearn for life abroad." Xiaolu answered. "Are you willing to buy Bozai?" Wanrou asked. "He's just a gambler. When betting in the casino, he doesn't even remember who his parents are, so why not?" Xiaolu replied nonchalantly. "Ok." Wanrou nodded. "You don't have to worry about your family, just send money back in the future. In a few years, you can come back and have a look." "Sister, don't worry, I'm a carefree person, I can go anywhere." Xiaolu answered.After lunch, the two drove to Zhang Wanrou's office in the club.Wanrou let Xiaolu sit on the sofa, and made coffee herself. "Xiaolu, drink a cup of coffee to calm down. Wait a little longer and leave." Wanrou puts a steaming cup of coffee in front of Xiaolu. "Ok." Xiaolu nodded. “你是不是有点紧张？”婉柔看着她。 "No." 晓露掩饰地笑笑。过了一会儿又说，“有那么一点。但我想我能克服。” “这就对了。第一次干这种事一点都不紧张是不正常的。你放心，我已经安排好了，对方是个可靠的人，不会有事的。” 婉柔道，把茶几上的烟拿过来，抽出一支问：“要不要来一支？” "it is good." 晓露接过放在嘴里。婉柔为她点燃，然后自己也叼了一支。 “晓露，你相信命运吗？”婉柔靠在沙发上，吐了一个长长的烟圈。 “什么命运？”晓露有些走神，顿了一下才问。 “我什么宗教都不信，就信命。所谓命中有时终须有，命中无时莫强求。人来到这个世界一遭，际遇是命定的，该你经历的你怎么逃都逃不掉，不是你的东西你怎么求都求不来。那些说命运掌握在自己手中的话全是放屁！在强大的命运面前，人不过是蜉蝣蝼蚁。人看似有选择的权利，但我们的选择权只限于微小的，与命运的改变无关紧要的事物。我们可以选择今天穿什么衣服，和谁睡觉，可以选择喜欢谁讨厌谁。但是，我们不能选择自己的出生，在什么环境下长大，遇上什么样的人。这些才是决定命运走向的因素。你我的命运有相似的地方，我们都是被人收养的孩子，收养我的王爷是个毒枭，所以我也是。而你，若不是你妈妈疯了，你一个吉林人怎么会在广东长大？你的养母若不是得了病，你怎么会从大学退学到夜总会做吧女，又怎么会认识我？所以，我们俩是有缘分的，我们的命运已经被紧紧地联系在一起。你我好比同蒂双心的玫瑰，同枯共荣。” 婉柔握住晓露的手，语重心长地说。 “姐姐，你不用说了。我明白。” Xiaolu said. 婉柔轻轻地拍了拍晓露的肩膀，“明白就好。” 这时门外传来“嗒嗒嗒”的敲门声，婉柔起立去开门。无声无息地，晓露也没看清来人是谁。 不过几秒钟，婉柔转身，手里拿着一个蛋糕盒。 “你把这个蛋糕盒送到小梅沙度假村48号别墅。敲开门后，你问，今天有人过生日吗？他答，是的，你送来什么蛋糕？你答，栗子蛋糕。你要几磅的？他答，两磅二。暗号对上后，你就把这个蛋糕盒交给他。任务就算完成了。” Wan Rou said. “这么简单？”晓露问。 “对，就这么简单。” 婉柔答。 “钱呢？我要拿钱回来吗？”晓露问。 “不用。对方验过货后，会给我信息，把钱打到我指定的账号。” Wan judo. "Okay, got it." 晓露点头。 “现在是下午5点。你开车到小梅沙要50分钟。顺利的话，你7点钟以前就能回来。我在这里等你吃晚饭。” Wan judo. "it is good." 晓露接过了蛋糕盒。晓露开车上路。她不时用余光注视着副驾驶座位上的蛋糕盒。粉红色印着花纹的盒子，扎着玫红的缎带，从上面半透明的盖子上可以看到蛋糕上的仙鹤图案。刚才晓露掂过分量，整个盒子重约二点五公斤。如果他们把冰毒藏在蛋糕里的话，大概可以藏一公斤，也就是两磅二。张婉柔是否完全相信了自己，这个蛋糕是不是一个圈套，晓露并没有百分之百的把握。听天由命吧，反正真相马上就会揭晓。晓露决定不再多想，专心开车。 红色的保时捷飞速地向小梅沙驶去。夏日的小梅沙充满了无限生机。沙滩上五彩缤纷的太阳伞仿佛一朵朵盛开的鲜花，笔直高耸的椰树林在风中沙沙作响。远处风驰电掣的摩托艇在蓝色的海面上犁出雪白的浪花。沙滩上、海面上到处是嬉戏的人，他们的欢歌笑语不绝于耳。在这个有着“东方夏威夷”之称的小梅沙，建有许多风格各异的别墅，掩映在绿树丛中。晓露提着蛋糕盒，向度假村别墅走去。她一边走一边观察四周的人群，一切正常。没有告诉米处长交货的具体地点，但她一定会派人跟踪自己。而且不排除张婉柔也派人在背后偷偷监视。她尽量做出自然的姿势，一步一步地向前走去。终于到了48号别墅门口。她定了定神，按响了门铃。门铃响了三下后，门开了，露出一个男人的脸。 “你找谁？”男子大约30岁，留着两撇小胡子。 “今天有人过生日吗？”晓露问。 "yes." 小胡子警惕地看着晓露，“你送来什么蛋糕？” “栗子蛋糕。你要几磅的？”晓露镇定地问。 “两磅二。” 小胡子答。The code matches.晓露把蛋糕盒交给小胡子。小胡子接过后，立即关上了大门。前后不过一分钟，顺利得让晓露有点不敢相信。任务已经完成，她转身离开。上了车，返回俱乐部。婉柔在办公室等她，见她进来，张开臂膀拥抱了她。 “谢谢你，晓露。从此，我们是一条船的人了，可以同生共死了。” “我也谢谢姐姐给我这样的机会，与你同舟共济。” Xiaolu answered.婉柔微笑着隆重地亲了晓露一下。 午夜2点，俱乐部营业结束。灯光熄灭，一切归于寂静。张婉柔带着晓露向俱乐部深处走去。从三号楼往右拐，再往前走50米有一座红顶平房，里面是一个标准的恒温游泳馆。她们走进一间房，里面堆着游泳圈、浴袍、毛巾等用品。张婉柔拉开墙角一个装杂物的大竹筐，在墙上的一个开关处按了一下。地板裂开了，出现一个深洞，有楼梯可以通到下面。婉柔又按了一个开关，下面的灯亮了。她率先往下走，晓露跟在后面。下了十多级楼梯后，来到地下。晓露看着这间只有五六平米的小房间有些发愣。房子里只有一些铁皮柜，墙上安着许多变压器、电流表，看样子像是配电房。她看着婉柔，婉柔从包里拿出一把钥匙，打开一个柜子，对晓露说：“进去！”屈身穿过柜子，走了两步，当晓露重新站起来的时候，眼前的景象让她大吃一惊。 这个地下室足有三百多平米，白色的案板上摆放着一些仪器和玻璃试管。地上放着几个大塑料桶，里面堆满着用透明塑料袋封好的白色晶状体。屋里空无一人，只有墙上挂着几件白大褂。婉柔将晓露带到监控室，让她坐下。 “这就是王爷的地下制毒工厂。在建游泳池的时候就挖好了。已经运作了三年，算得上制毒界的奇迹。” 婉柔慢悠悠地说。 “设计得太精妙了，真是一个奇迹。” 晓露真心赞叹。她无数次地巡视过俱乐部，把俱乐部结构分析来分析去，却从来没有想到它会在游泳馆里。 “没有人带，永远也不会有人找到这里。” 婉柔面露得意。 “你猜猜，这个地下室的出口在哪里？”晓露摇摇头。 "follow me." 婉柔起身。地下工厂的东边有一个一米多宽的通道，像一个长长的走廊，一直往里走，走了一百多米才走到尽头。尽头有一个铁门，婉柔用钥匙打开，走过去，有一个楼梯通往上方。晓露跟在婉柔后面爬了上去。上面是一个堆满了货物的仓库。晓露定眼看，堆成小山一样的纸箱上写着“××矿泉水”或“××方便面”的字样。她看着婉柔。婉柔笑笑，打开仓库的门。晓露探头一看，看到一排排货物陈列架。这是一个超市！晓露恍然大悟。这个叫百家惠的超市属于一个大型小区。这个小区的大门与俱乐部不在一条路上，故没有进入警方的监控范围。谁也没想到这个超市会和俱乐部的游泳馆相连，而超市的真正老板是张婉柔！将制作好的冰毒装进矿泉水或方便面的纸箱里，混在真正的矿泉水、方便面里，可以很方便地运出去。 同理，制作冰毒的原料也可以这样运进来。却不会引起任何怀疑。谜底终于揭开。晓露如在梦中。她们从原路退回制毒工厂。婉柔指着装在塑料桶里的冰毒说：“我在联系买家，争取在我们走之前把这些冰全部卖掉。” “这些冰值多少钱？”晓露问。 “够在新西兰再买两栋别墅吧。” 婉柔淡淡地说。 “太好了！”米处长听完陈娇的汇报，兴奋地用力击了一下掌。 “张婉柔这只狡猾的狐狸终于自己把尾巴露出来了。” 她走到陈娇面前，紧紧握住她的手：“陈娇同志，你没有辜负我对你的期望，终于成功地找到这个制毒工厂。我会向上级汇报，为你请功！” “制毒工厂已经找到了，我的任务算完成了吗？”陈娇问。语气里并无即将立功的兴奋。 “不。你的任务还没有完成。张婉柔不是正在寻找买主准备出货吗？我们必须扩大战果，把她的买主一个个钓出来，一网打尽。所以你还需要回到她身边，配合她出货。” 米处长指示道。 “是！”陈娇答应。心里隐隐感到不安。 “为了保证你的安全，要在你身上装上窃听器，你的手机也将被定位。” Director Mi said. “王爷出事了！”一天晚上，婉柔告诉晓露。 “他的一批货在美国栽了，他正在被美国警方通缉。” Wan judo. “那怎么办？”这个意外的消息让晓露紧张起来。 “我们得尽快把这个工厂处理了。我已经托人在帮你办护照，后天你再去送一批货。钱拿到之后，我们也要撤了。” Wan judo. “哦。你知道王爷现在哪里吗？”晓露问。 “不知道。他这个时候出事正好。他这一躲，没有三五年不敢冒头，正是我们摆脱他的好时机。” 婉柔的脸上露出笑意。因为王爷被美国警方通缉，米处长只能决定提前收网了。收网行动定在晓露第二次送货的交易现场。在百家惠超市的后门，一辆白色的东风牌面包车旁，婉柔低声对晓露交代任务：“这是50公斤货，已经装好了。这次你和小易一块去，他负责开车，你押货。” “小易？”晓露问。这时小易走了出来。 “你好，张总助。” “你好，小易。” Xiaolu said. 这是他们第三次见面了，却是第一次一起执行任务。 “你们在下午3点开车到蛇口码头，把车停在停车场。不要下车。有人会来敲车窗，你问他干什么，他说想买康师傅方便面，你问他要多少，他若说50箱，你和小易就下车，把车钥匙交给他。你们俩打车回来。” Wan judo. “就这样？”晓露问。 “就这样。你们现在可以出发了。” 婉柔握了握两人的手，“一切顺利。” “小易，你带枪了吗？”晓露问正在开车的小易。 “带了。交易时什么情况都有可能发生，不得不防。” 小易说。 "Ok." 晓露点头，不再说话。下午3点，蛇口码头停车场。一切按张婉柔的计划进行。暗语对上之后，晓露与小易下了车，在那人接过小易的车钥匙的瞬间，四周的汽车里突然跳出一群警察，将他们包围。晓露与接货人束手就擒。小易试图逃跑，开枪打伤一名警察，被当场击毙。晓露与接货人被戴上手铐，分头押上了两辆警车。警车开出不远，又停了下来，一名警察叫晓露下车。路边停着一辆红色的桑塔纳出租车，警察把车门打开，示意晓露进去。她坐进去一看，看到了穿便服的林志强和徐蕾。徐蕾给晓露打开手铐，告诉她：“现在要去抓捕张婉柔，米处长指示要你参加抓捕行动。你现在给张婉柔打电话，告诉她一切顺利，并问她现在哪里。” “小易怎么样了？”晓露问。 “已经死了。” 坐在驾驶位上装扮成出租车司机的林志强答。 “你和张婉柔的通话一定要简洁，就说事情顺利，一切等回去再说。” 徐蕾道。 "Ok." 晓露点点头，拿出手机。林志强发动了汽车。 “姐姐，我是晓露。一切顺利。我和小易正在回去的路上。你现在哪里？”晓露问。 “我在办公室。小易呢？”婉柔问。 “小易坐在前排。等我们回去再向你汇报。” 晓露低声说。 “好。我等你们。” Wan judo. 晓露挂了电话，看到徐蕾赞许的目光，她突然觉得有些赧然。林志强通过对讲机汇报了张婉柔的方位后，快速地向俱乐部驶去。从蛇口码头到俱乐部只有45分钟的车程，再有半小时就要到了。这半小时是陈娇的人生中最沉重的半小时，有一种天将要塌下来的感觉。她不敢想象接下来要发生的事情，希望这车能开慢点，再慢点，让那一刻晚一点到来。林志强突然一个急刹车，把晓露和徐蕾吓了一跳。行驶在前面的一辆面包车突然熄火，他们的出租车差点撞了上去。 “要不是执行任务，老子非狠狠地修理他一顿！”林志强骂道。绕过面包车，继续向前开去。离名爵俱乐部越来越近了，晓露的心跳加速，手心被握出汗来。有一刻，她甚至想，若是刚才撞上了面包车会怎么样。她宁可出车祸也不愿意自己亲手逮捕张婉柔。汽车在靠近俱乐部的路口慢了下来。晓露突然想起什么：“张婉柔在办公室，从窗子可以清楚地看到大门附近的情景，她若站在窗边，会看到是我一个人下的出租车。” “这个米处长已经想到了。在你快下车时，会安排人给她的办公室打电话，把她调离窗台。现在门卫和监控室都被我们控制住了。” 徐蕾道。 “张婉柔养着一个特安队，至少有九个人，手里都有AK47冲锋枪。” Xiaolu said. “这次行动，省厅也派了人，还动用了武警。放心，我们的力量占绝对优势。” 林志强说。 出租车在名爵俱乐部门口停下了。徐蕾把手铐交给晓露：“你进去后，不要和她多说什么，尽快把她铐出来。十分钟后不见你出来，我们的人就冲进去。” "understood." 晓露接过手铐，放进牛仔裤的后兜里。 “去吧。把她铐出来，你便大功告成。” 徐蕾拍拍晓露的肩膀。晓露做了一个深呼吸，定了定神。打开车门，下了车。 “晓露，你回来了。” 婉柔抬头看见晓露，放下手里的电话，款款迎了上来。她穿着黑色乔其纱上衣，黑色裙裤。晓露记得这是她们第一次在丽都夜总会见面的装扮。不同的是她今天斜斜地挽了一个低髻，上面插了一把精致的小扇子。她比两年前瘦多了，脸上依然化着精致的妆容，却呈现出一种花之将谢的颓败。现在还是白天，为何她却换上了黑衣？晓露心里一沉。 “我回来了。你刚才在打电话？”晓露问。 “是啊，刚才一个俱乐部的老客户说要借我的地盘搞一个庆典，非要和我亲自谈不可，啰啰嗦嗦地说了七八分钟，我早就不耐烦了。” Wan judo.接着又问，“小易呢？” “小易上卫生间了，一会儿就上来。” 晓露答，向她走去。 “你刚才喝酒了？”晓露看到办公桌上放着一瓶人头马，旁边的高脚玻璃杯里还有小半杯酒。 “是。你们走后，我心里很烦躁，喝酒解解闷。” 婉柔又拿来一只酒杯，倒了大半杯，递给晓露。 “来，你也喝一杯，庆祝你们安全回来。” 按照计划，晓露应该趁此扣住张婉柔的手，给她戴上手铐，任务便完成了。不知为何，晓露却下不了手。她接过酒杯喝了一口。 “有个好消息告诉你，你的护照办好了，明天就可以去取。也许再过一周，我们就可以躺在新西兰的沙滩上晒太阳了。” 婉柔脸上露出笑容。婉柔的话，让晓露心里很难过。她勉强笑道：“是吗？真是个好消息。” “把俱乐部这么大块产业丢了挺可惜的。若再多一点时间，我可以把它卖个好价钱。” 张婉柔的目光将办公室扫了一遍，深深地叹了口气。 “唉，走了之后，也许再也回不来这里了。” “是啊，这里的一切都是你亲手布置的吧，我第一次进来时还为你的品位赞叹不已。” Xiaolu said. “我最喜欢的颜色便是黑白两色。我用两种颜色布置我的办公室，寓意我的黑白人生。” 婉柔抚摸着大班桌上的白玉地球仪，感叹道。 “很少看到你白天穿黑衣，今天为何破例？”晓露问。 “我刚才上洗手间，不小心溅湿了裙子，打开衣柜，看到这套衣服，想起这是我们第一次在丽都相遇时穿的，就换上了。很久没穿了，衣服是不是都显旧了？”婉柔问。 “没有，和原来一样新。” Xiaolu answered. “衣服没旧，就是人旧了。我刚才照镜子，发现已经没有那时好看了。” Wan Rou said. “在我眼里，姐姐和当时一样好看。” Xiaolu said.婉柔笑笑。那笑容在晓露看来多少有些凄凉。十分钟到了。晓露过去抱住了她。 “姐姐，我们到外面走走吧。这里闷得慌。” 婉柔的身体震了一下。她看了一下手表，盯着晓露
