Chapter 273 - Ten Years Ago (1/2)
“Dong dong!”
At this moment, a light knock came on the door. Huo Yunzhan and Xia Luobing exchanged glances. The two exchanged glances. He stood up and opened the door. He asked in surprise, “What’s the matter?”
Scarface pushed open the door and walked in. Standing in the living room, he looked at the two of them and said, “Are you used to it?”
Although his tone was very stiff, the concern was obvious, which surprised Xia Luobing.
“Who are you?” She suddenly asked.
‘”You and Huo Yunzhan are not husband and wife, Charlotte.” Scarface pulled a chair and sat down.
Huo Yunzhan’s expression changed drastically. The dagger in his hand had already swiftly pressed against Scarface’s neck. The air in the room was very tense, as if it could break at any moment.
“Who on earth are you?” Xia Luobing quietly looked at the scarred face with no change in expression. “Did you put the things in the fridge?”
She suddenly felt that this person in front of her might not be as simple as they thought.
She could even smell a wisp of righteousness from the intentional hostility emanating from the scarred face, a righteousness that she was very familiar with.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. The important thing is that you don’t act rashly.” Scarface’s gaze swept back and forth between Ho Yunzhan and Xia Luobing. “The water here is deeper than you think.”
Charlotte’s eyes flashed, “You’re one of us.”
If at this time, she still couldn’t understand the reason behind the matter, then she would really be stupid.
Huo Yunzhan also understood. He put away his dagger and sat across from Scar Face, staring at him. “How long have you been here?”
“Ten years.” Scar said indifferently with a smile in his eyes, “You’re not bad.”
Huo Yunzhan frowned, “What if I’m really weak?”
“I will kill you.” Scarface said casually, then added, “I’m serious.”
Xia Luobing’s face turned pale, but she immediately understood. Then, a bigger doubt arose in her heart, “You need to hide here for ten years to perform a very important mission?
“It’s normal, isn’t it?” Scar’s eyes flashed.
After that, the three of them fell silent. Some missions really needed to be hidden for a long time. This kind of contest was a matter of spirit and patience.
Just how many ten years of a person’s life could pass so easily.
“What do you need us to do?” Huo Yunzhan looked at Scar’s face and said in a deep voice.
Right now, he no longer had any doubts about him. A person’s appearance and tone could be deceptive, but his eyes could not.
There was no doubt that Scarface was one of them.
“According to your original plan.” “I won’t give you any help,” Scarface said coolly.
Xia Luobing and Huo Yunzhan nodded in understanding, but they couldn’t help but ask, “Since that’s the case, why did you tell us your identity?”
The fewer people knew his identity, the safer he would be.
“I don’t want you to find the wrong target.” Scarface smiled. Suddenly, he restrained the smile on his face and said indifferently, “A person who has been disguised for a long time can’t help but feel lonely when he smells a familiar aura.”
He said it lightly, but Charlotte still smelled loneliness at the first moment.
How could he not feel lonely if he stayed here invisible for ten years like a day?
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became somewhat oppressive. The three of them fell silent. After a while, Scarface broke the silence.
“Take care of yourselves.” Scarface stood up and prepared to leave. He walked to the door and looked at Xia Luobing. “Protect your child.”
This comes from concern among comrades.
Charlotte nodded seriously, “I know.”
After Scarface left, Huo Yunzhan sat on the sofa and whispered, “I admire him very much.”
At the same time, there was an unprecedented determination in his heart: “I will definitely complete the task as soon as possible.”
“I, you won’t stay here for ten years.” Xia Luobing could not help but tease Huo Yunzhan when he saw his thoughts. “But there’s one thing, and he stayed here for so long because he didn’t have any worries.”
Huo Yunzhan looked at Xia Luobing doubtfully, “Do you know anything?”
“Ten years ago, I was on a mission with a senior.” Xia Luobing said indifferently, “When we were capturing a criminal, he fell into the sea and died, but his corpse was never found.”
“You mean … he is?” Huo Yunzhan’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You didn’t recognize him at first.”
Sadness flashed through Xia Luobing’s eyes as she said indifferently, “He’s undergone plastic surgery. It’s just that some habits aren’t that easy to change.”
As he spoke, his right eyebrows were still raised habitually. After so many years, nothing had changed.
“What did you mean by saying that he wasn’t worried?” Huo Yunzhan suddenly remembered the question he had just asked.
Xia Luobing took a sip of water and whispered, “He was an orphan, father and mother, and his wife was also a policeman, but she was shot dead when she was pregnant with a five-month-old child.”
Not long after, he disappeared.
I didn’t expect that after so many years, they would actually meet here.
The room was very quiet, and Xia Luobing and Yunzhan fell into a long silence with their own worries.
In Huo Yunqi’s office, Feng Shuo sat on the sofa. He tapped on the table with his fingers and said indifferently, “Zhuang Xinran took her away. She promised to let her go.”
