C164 Do what you have to do (1/2)
He walked out without looking back.
However, just as he walked out of the door, his phone rang behind him.
The blue screen lit up in the darkness.
When the screen lit up in the dark, Yan Xie Chen's body froze.
He returned to the sofa and looked at his cell phone.
K was excited to the point that his heart was about to burst out of his chest.
”Answer it!” Young master! Hurry up and answer it! ”
he urged softly.
Yan Xie Chen thought of something and accepted the call.
His deep voice rang out.
”Hello?”
On the other side of the phone, Tang Chu Rui went straight to the point.
”I promise you.”
Yan Xie Chen's eyelashes fluttered slightly, casting a fan-shaped shadow on his face.
”Alright.”
… ….
This night, something had quietly changed.
However, no one could say what had changed.
It was also impossible to say how this decision would decisively change the direction of the future.
… ….
He only knew that two people had met that night.
A huge black umbrella stood silently at the corner of the street. The rain drummed on the umbrella's surface, splashing water all the way down the umbrella's spine like a curtain of water.
The man waited, fiddling with the lighter in his hand.
He pressed the lighter and a small ball of fire lit up.
Then, releasing her hand, the fire dimmed again and disappeared into the darkness.
Lights up. Destroy.
Lights up. Destroy.
It lit up again. And then it was gone.
After a few rounds of this, the sound of the rain became louder and louder. Finally, a person appeared at the corner of the street.
Seeing the person who appeared, Yan Xie Chen stopped what he was doing.
Tang Chu Rui was wearing a raincoat. It was too big, plus she had lost a lot of weight recently. It made her look like she was wearing a bamboo hat.
She walked on the splashing water and didn't say anything when she saw Yan Xie Chen. She only used her gaze to look at him.
Yan Xie Chen remained silent.
Unexpectedly, the two of them reached a tacit understanding with their eyes and entered the coffee shop that was open for business twenty-four hours a day behind them.
In the rising mist, Tang asked for a cup of warm water. Warm in the palm of his hand, it made his palm feel cold.
Yan Xie Chen sat across from her. He was very handsome, with a fair side to his face that was reflected in his jujube red hair color. The fog that shrouded him made him seem unreal.
”Let me take a look at the day agreement.” she asked.
Yan Xie Chen remained silent as he handed over a stack of papers.
Tang Chu Rui said it was ”take a look”, but in fact, she didn't even look at it. Instead, she flipped to the place to sign her name.
People who dawdle or dawdle are hesitant because they have better choices. How to vacillate between the two choices and choose the best was something they had spent their whole life doing.
She had no other choice, so she didn't have to be uncomfortable.
Before she signed, she looked up and asked, ”You said you would help me?”
Yan Xie Chen nodded.
”I can help you with all of your problems, as long as you do what you have to do.”
”Alright.”
She closed the lid of the pen and retreated back to Yan Xie Chen without even looking at him.
”Then I believe you, from now on we are a strategic partner.”
Yan Xie Chen folded the contract and patiently kept it in the inside pocket of his trench coat.
He did this with his eyes lowered, trying to hide the guilt in his face.
At first glance, he seemed calm, reliable, and organized. Perhaps he was a very good partner.
Of course, Yan Xie Chen thought to himself, he would never let Tang Muren know that he had been involved in the whole mess that had caused her death.
It was an eternal secret, like the rain tonight, which would wash everything away.
From tomorrow onwards, they would be partners who worked closely together, sharing secrets and keeping secrets. To have complete trust in each other would ultimately lead to mutual gains and losses.
”What should I do after this?”
she asked.
Yan Xie Chen: ”I'm returning home with Huan Jing.”
She frowned slightly.
”Return with him?”
She had been struggling for so long, but she just wasn't willing to go back with him.
”Right now, your motive for returning home is different from before,” Yan Xie Chen said in a low voice. ”Your identity has already changed. To a certain extent, you have become my undercover agent.” When you go back, you can get closer to his life, and it's all a disguise. ”
”Disguise?”
”That's right. You should start acting. Play a role.” Yan Xie Chen thought about it, ”It's best if …” A character who is gentle and harmless and won't let others feel threatened. ”
Tang FuRui mocked herself in a low voice.
”Weren't I like this before?”
For a long time, she was willing to be the best persimmon that anyone could pick.
”You are not from now on.”
Yan Xie Chen smiled.
There was certainty in his eyes, and also a radiance, as if he had already outlined a great and promising future.
”I will turn you into a completely new person, with different identities and positions, standing at the top of the pyramid, the entire … ”It's as good as new.”
