Lin Ze smoked heavily and stared at the big leather shoes on the coffee table, lost in thought.
According to the information provided by the bureau, the tense situation at that time, and some information provided by the old director, even if Lin Ze didn't want to believe it, he had no evidence to convince himself that she was still alive.
The stubborn paranoia in the past few years is purely Lin Ze's memory of her. When he was the most miserable, tired, and physically and mentally exhausted, she gave Lin Ze the courage and strength to go on.
During those years of iron-blooded career, no matter how young Lin Ze was and how strong his heart was, he was only a teenager after all. How much pressure and burden could his seemingly powerful heart bear?
But she was like a cold panacea injected into Lin Ze's life, adding a brilliant color to his difficult and dark life.
For Lin Ze, she was not only his comrade-in-arms and colleague, but also a guiding light when he lost his direction in life.
Lin Ze couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had for her, but after learning from the old director that she might be burned to death in a fire, he fell into a state of depravity for half a year. During that half a year, he lived like a zombie, completely lost.
Self, losing the motivation to live.
The cigarette burned to the end, and the hot touch awakened Lin Ze who was in deep thought. He came back to his senses slightly, smiled bitterly, rubbed his stiff cheeks vigorously, and murmured to himself: "If you live, I believe one day
We will meet. If you have left, I will live happily and, like these leather shoes, I will always keep you in my heart."

"Lin Ze, remember to wear a hood when entering school later." Han Xiaobao lay on the backrest and said to Lin Ze who was concentrating on driving.
"Why?" Lin Ze blew the cigarette butt in his mouth and asked curiously.
"You are now a popular figure on campus. The post about you on the school forum last night took up the entire page. You are like a superstar of Zijinhua." Han Xiaobao said with envy.
"Then what?" Lin Ze was confused.
"Aren't you worried about being trampled to death by a swarm of fans?" Han Xiaobao said seriously.
"Men, I will kick them away." Lin Ze reached out and flicked the cigarette ashes, with a holy light on his face. "Female, I will open my broad chest and save these lost lambs."
"Remember to take pictures, dear." Han Xiaoyijiao said in the passenger seat.
Hiss——
The car almost plunged into the flower bed on the roadside. Lin Ze's spine went cold, and Han Xiaobao hurriedly retracted his head, pretending to be calm and enjoying the scenery outside the window.
Once the fierce and cunning Han Xiaoyi shows her gentle and sweet side, it proves that she is on the verge of going crazy.
As the saying goes, things must be reversed at their extremes. A crazy girl suddenly becomes gentle and charming. Do you think this is a normal phenomenon?
Lin Ze tried his best to move his butt towards the car door, and almost stepped on the accelerator when he entered the school gate.
After parking the car, Lin Ze wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, squatted on the path with Han Xiaobao and smoked a cigarette, and then Shi Shiran rushed to the classroom.
Morning self-study is the most difficult time of the day, because the students read too loudly, making it difficult for him to fall asleep. He endured the morning self-study with dark circles under his eyes, and as soon as get out of class was over, Lin Ze lay on the desk and snored. Big sleep.
As for Lin Ze's habits, the students who are familiar with him already know everything about him. No one came to disturb him, including Dong Xiaowan, who was accepted by Lin Ze last night. He just stared at Lin Ze's inelegant sleeping posture tenderly, not daring to
Come forward and disturb him.
"Maybe he slept too late last night, so he didn't have much energy." Dong Xiaowan thought feebly, completely forgetting that Lin Ze went to bed after morning study every day.
The IQ of a girl in love will always fall to the bottom, and the feeling of worrying about gains and losses will always accompany her, making her have trouble sleeping and eating, and she will be trapped in it and cannot extricate herself.
Last night, Dong Xiaowan went home and drank the hangover soup prepared by her mother, took a bath and lay on the bed, and then - she fell into insomnia.
She thought a lot that night. She thought about Lin Ze's arrogant and domineering self-introduction when he first entered the classroom. She thought about reading his well-written essay for the first time, and how he defeated a dozen men in suits and saved herself from the bad guys.
When she came back, she thought of the scene in Jin Jiulong where the well-dressed man with wealth and status showed respect to him and encouraged her to have a drink with him. She thought of the late-night snacks he thoughtfully and carefully gave her, as gifts for herself.
Go home. Thinking of the moment when I mustered up the courage to kiss him forcefully, I thought——
Anyway, when a touch of fish belly white gradually appeared in the east, and the sunlight spread through the curtains and swayed into the room, her big, beautiful and smart eyes were still staring blankly at the ceiling.
The first and second classes in the morning were Chinese classes. The old teacher Qian seemed to be very considerate of the three days of physical exertion for the students, and assigned a composition for them to complete in two classes.
The students shouted long live and expressed their gratitude to Teacher Qian.
It’s no wonder that the students reacted so violently, because today is already Friday, and the afternoon is holiday time. Zijinhua’s stubborn and strict teaching system does not even want to take more than half a day off, for fear of losing this half day.
, students who could have passed the first exam could only take the second exam. It can be said that we pay close attention to the teaching quality and teaching time, and never relax for a moment.
The classroom of Class 1, Grade 3 was lifeless, except for the sound of the pen tip carving on the paper, there was no other sound to be heard.
The students were very tired, and Lin Ze was even more tired. He lay on the desk and fell asleep. If he hadn't tried hard to restrain himself from snoring so alarmingly, he would have had to have his ears pinched by Teacher Qian for oral education again.
Time flew by quickly, and the four morning classes were spent in drowsiness. After lunch, Lin Ze nonchalantly returned to the dormitory, preparing to take a nap. Unfortunately, his cell phone rang unyieldingly.
The caller ID was Scar, and Lin Ze didn't want to answer it. But this guy kept calling hard. In desperation, Lin Ze answered the phone and asked slightly impatiently: "I can't tell you an important reason.
Don’t even think about hanging out on Zijin Road in the future.”
"——" Scar said tremblingly. "Brother Xiao Lin, we were originally discussing a plan to recruit core members. But several bosses from the North District suddenly came over and made some very angry remarks. If you have time, can you
Come over here?"
"You are the boss of this area, why are you looking for me?" Lin Ze said lifelessly.
"But you have full experience and ability in this area. Even Brother Xiao Shen said that he is not sure. If we make mistakes in decision-making due to our negligence, or even be instigated by Qiao Bawan, then we can
Trouble. This time—Brother Xiao Shen and I don’t want Xiao Dao to make the same mistake again." Scar said resolutely.
When Lin Ze heard this, his heart softened. He knew that Scar had put a lot of effort into this matter, so he said in a calm tone: "Wait a minute, I will be here in a minute."
"Well, okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ze sent a text message to Han Xiaoyi, saying that he would not go to the party in the evening. Anyway, both siblings can drive. If you don't want to drive, you can also take a taxi with your classmates.
With Han Xiaoyi's permission and despising him for skipping class again, Lin Ze threw the phone into his pocket, took a taxi and left.
When we arrived at the private room, Scar, the priest, the butcher and other former members of the Knife Society were all there, so it was indeed a bit troublesome to see the formation.
As soon as he came in, Scar hurriedly stepped forward and said a little anxiously: "Brother Xiao Lin, things are a bit difficult. The big brothers from the three regions in the North District have come to visit in person today and are resting in the VIP room at the moment."
"What did they say?" Lin Ze greeted the members of the Knife Club, sat on the chair casually, and lit a cigarette by himself.
"I didn't say anything clearly, I just made some insinuations about Qiao Ba's skills and energy, and also said that the last time we had a fight with Wang Hao, there was really a lack of consideration." Scar said distressedly.
Lin Ze frowned slightly and said in confusion: "You are on an equal footing with them. Do you mind what they say so much? Scar, I remember you are not so timid?"
"Scar is not to blame for this." The priest slowly stood up and saw a look of curiosity on Lin Ze's face, and explained, "These three people were probably instigated by Qiao Ba and came here."
"Really?" Lin Ze puffed out a puff of smoke and asked in confusion. "What's the reason?"
"There is no leader on the North District Road." The priest raised his eyebrows and said. "Jin Yuan was lured here by Qiao Ba. This time, if the cake is placed in front of these three eldest brothers, they will not be able to withstand the temptation!"
"There are fools every year, but there are especially many this year." Lin Ze flicked the ashes from his cigarette skillfully, glanced at Scar, and asked one by one, "Do you want to be the leader of the North District?"
"I——" Scar's head suddenly exploded, as if it was exploding.
The leader of the North District? What is this concept? If Scar really takes the position of leader of the North District one day, it means that he can sit on an equal footing with Qiao Ba and share the world equally!
Who is Qiao Ba? A heroic figure who has taken root in Huaxin City for thirty years!
Last time, Lin Ze asked Scar if he wanted to sit in Jin Yuan's seat. After thinking about it for a long time, Scar nodded and said yes. Then Lin Ze helped him sit in Jin Yuan's seat.
This time, Lin Ze asked Scar if he wanted to take the leading seat in the North District.
Scar found this question difficult to answer. Perhaps it was not particularly difficult for Brother Xiao Lin to dismount Jin Yuan. But to send himself to the leading position in the North District, it is definitely not something he can do if he wants to.
Yes.
I don't know whether it was the hot weather or his own fault, but a large layer of sweat appeared on Scar's forehead. His body also trembled slightly due to nervousness.
Lin Ze saw that he was in the middle of a battle between heaven and man, so he remained silent and just smoked silently.
"Brother Xiao Lin, don't be afraid to say something shameless. Since I, Scar, have chosen to live in the street, I naturally hope to live in glory." Scar gritted his teeth and said. "Besides, if I can really sit on the top of the North District, I can also
The rebuilt knife will bring a lot of resources. You asked me if I want it, and my answer is: yes!"
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows, stood up calmly, and said with strong confidence in his calm words: "If you want to, I'll let you do it."
