Zhong Ping wanted to ask Zhong Jiaqi several times why there were babies and frozen corpses in the house where the woman in the photo lived, but Zhong Jiaqi's solemn and serious expression kept him silent for fear of interrupting others' thinking.
What if he forgets something important then? He can't bear the responsibility now.
Zhong Jiaqi thought to himself for a few minutes. The software under the computer lit up. He clicked on the window with the mouse and found that another file package had been sent over there.
Before double-clicking to open the file, he finally realized that Zhong Ping was still sitting next to him, turned his head and asked without any hope: "Aren't you really sleepy?"
Zhong Ping nodded and shook his head quickly: "I'm really not sleepy!" He thought to himself that the whole room had been photographed, so the next file package wouldn't be photos, it should be about solving puzzles or something like that? I've only seen it now.
When he went to bed, curiosity gnawed holes in his heart, so he decided that even if he was really sleepy, he would work hard to overcome the difficulties. After all, he had endured it for so long, and there was no need for the next documents or photos.
Zhong Jiaqi has always adhered to the policy of protecting Zhong Ping. Ever since he was a child, he knew that his brother could not climb trees as fast as him, was pickier about food than him, and was not very bright in his brain, so he began to do his best.
He tried his best to protect Zhong Ping. In addition to the things Zhong Ping complained about, he also did many well-known and unknown things. Regardless of the result or not, the original intention was good.
After such a long time, this policy is still implemented even after they recognized each other again. Zhong Jiaqi changed his mind when he thought that the separation incident was over and he had the idea of letting Zhong Ping take over his job and train. At that time, he had already
I realized that blind protection would never accomplish anything big. In the future, it would be a burden for Zhong Ping to stay in this courtyard.
From when they were young to now, as long as there is an adult living in this courtyard, he will definitely have his own skills that can help him gain a foothold here. If he just eats and waits to die, even if others don't gossip for a long time, he will definitely feel anxious.
So Zhong Jiaqi took great pains to keep his long-lost brother by his side for a long time. But he has also seen that it is really impossible to replace him... What happens after that? Hey, the position of D seems to be vacant.
Out? How could Zhong Ping, who knew nothing, be suddenly promoted to this level for no reason? Needless to say, the domestic situation, if even the organization became such a family-run, it would be very close to ruin.
If this doesn't work, that won't work... Then start from scratch. Yes, just start with the aftermath of this matter... Even if the facts are hard to accept, even if those photos torture people mentally and physically, he won't
He forced Zhong Ping to go to bed. Sometimes excessive protection is equivalent to strangulation.
So Zhong Ping could continue to sit next to Zhong Jiaqi and read the documents sent from the computer. Zhong Jiaqi went through a lot of inner struggles.
With those complicated emotions, he continued the operation at hand and downloaded several more files sent by the other party.
Contrary to Zhong Ping's expectation, what was sent there were still photos. When he opened it, it seemed that they were all unimportant documents left over from the last time he failed to send them all at once. There were details of the car parked in the warehouse, and that
Details of parts scattered on the ground, as well as details in the house. However, Zhong Ping was still looking forward to Zhong Jiaqi's explanation, and he kept worrying in his heart whether this was going to be the legendary biohazard.
But Zhong Jiaqi still didn't want to explain it to him. He looked at the bottom of the screen and thought silently for a few minutes, and then typed in the client's dialog box. The typing speed was moderate but not too fast. Zhong Ping read the words that popped up above.
It was clear: take samples from all the corpses, retrieve the babies whole, keep two of them, and return the others.
After typing, Zhong Jiaqi leaned back on his chair and breathed out softly, like a breath of relief or a sigh.
At this moment, Zhong Ping finally couldn't sit still anymore. He took advantage of the moment when he had just sent the message and before he started thinking, and asked, "What are the machines in her room used for?"
"Yes... uh..." Zhong Jiaqi looked like he was about to answer immediately, but swallowed his words halfway, which made Zhong Ping anxious to death. In fact, what Zhong Jiaqi was thinking was that if he answered this, then
Zhong Ping wanted to ask why it was such a machine, what Li Huihui wanted to do, etc. So he had another battle between heaven and man in his mind, whether he still wanted to protect his brother or cover up his younger brother.
ugly.
But the answer came out quickly. It would still be some time before the people who took the samples came back, so he made up his mind and said: "It's a long story." He intended to let Zhong Ping continue to ask.
Zhong Ping asked in a dignified manner: "Then you can tell a long story. Let's start from the beginning, from the head..."
In the following time, Zhong Ping listened carefully as an audience to his brother's story about this confusing history, a past that was mixed with romance, hatred, and some science fiction.
Li Huihui once said to Zhong Ping, "My father's name is Li Gang," which is a very popular saying in today's society. But her father's name was indeed Li Gang, and he later confirmed it on the LED screen in the hospital lobby.
Li Gang, whom Zhong Jiaqi refers to as the elder of their organization, resolutely chose to work with their father Zhong Fuyu when the main family and the branch family fell apart. At that time, Li Gang was also the oldest among the five brothers, so he became the leader of the organization.
Within a few years after both the main family and the split family, he quietly withdrew from the organization and verbally agreed with Zhong Fuyu that he would no longer interfere with organizational affairs. If either party was in trouble, the other party would do its best to help.
But he is no longer young, so he plans to cleanse himself from the organization and work peacefully as a doctor in the hospital where he earns a lot of money. To this day, he still holds the position of dean. Both parties have their contact information, but abide by
Despite the verbal agreement, there has been no contact with the other party.
At this time, Zhong Ping asked, how did Zhong Jiaqi and Li Huihui know each other? He heard Li Huihui say with his own ears at the scene where Li Huihui was shot that the scene when they met was very similar to the scene at that time... Could it be that they were there at that time?
Are people taking turns shooting themselves in the head with a gun?
Hearing Zhong Ping's question, Zhong Jiaqi gave a bitter smile and explained to Zhong Ping that the game was called "Russian Roulette" and that the place they met was a casino in South Africa. There was a game called roulette in the casino.
, so Li Huihui used metaphorical language to describe the scene where they met.
Since the two parents had no contact with each other after they were born, it was certainly impossible for him and Li Huihui to know each other since childhood. They met in a casino abroad, and the whole incident was a huge coincidence.
At that time, Zhong Jiaqi was going through his own travel rite of passage. He chose South Africa, which was said to be the only developed country in Africa at the time, to make his travel relatively easier. When he came to South Africa, of course he had to go shopping.
Its big city, Joburg, is also a highly polarized city. Although it is a developed country, it seems hopelessly poor.
He made a local friend on the second day after arriving there. That friend took him to the exquisitely decorated casino that night. He even suspected that he would be thrown out directly if he was not dressed formally enough. And there was a golden dress at the door.
Next to the roadblock, everyone who intends to enter will show a certificate to the guard.
This made him repeatedly reject the friend's request to take him in, but he still couldn't resist the other party's enthusiasm, so he went there. Unexpectedly, the guard didn't stop them or anything, and just bowed directly.
Let them in.
Later, Zhong Jiaqi learned that VIP cards are required to enter the casinos here in South Africa, but the face of Chinese people here is VIP cards... Because most Chinese people here are considered wealthy people who spend money like water, so most of the large casinos in Johannesburg are like this
There are no restrictions on Chinese people in the casinos. And this enthusiastic friend I just made admitted that he is an employee here. Of course he is so enthusiastic because he hopes that Zhong Jiaqi will come here to invest money.
But Zhong Jiaqi is just here for a trip and is not particularly interested in throwing money into such a large whirlpool. Moreover, the education he received said that gambling is like drugs. Once it gets on your body, you will be poor.
He couldn't stop even if he was left with only his underwear. So he firmly rejected the "friend" who brought him in.
When the "friend" saw that he didn't want to waste time and money here, he didn't drive him out too openly. He told him to take a look, then turned around and hurriedly reported to the boss that he had successfully roped in a Chinese man to ask for help.
Commission is made.
Zhong Jiaqi wanted to come to Joburg to visit the casino as a special trip, and no one came to chase him away, so he found a place to sit down near the roulette wheel. Alcoholic beverages are provided free of charge inside the casino.
The free supply is written on each counter in four different languages. It is probably to let the big guys who come to play get drunk and throw in more money when they are excited.
He sat for a while and felt a little bored, so he went to get a glass of alcoholic beverage as the Romans did, to try what the local high-end wine tasted like. But when he came back here with the cup, he found that a woman was already holding it.
I was sitting there with a glass of wine. She looked Asian, probably Chinese. She was wearing a formal-looking dress like the other women in the venue. She probably wasn't pulled here like him.
In the hope that he might meet an old friend in a foreign country, he stepped forward and asked her in English if there was anyone across from her. She shook her head, and Zhong Jiaqi sat there. Then Zhong Jiaqi asked her if she was Chinese, and then he asked her if she was Chinese.
Seeing her nodding, he introduced himself in Chinese and asked the woman what her name was, and the woman revealed her name to him...
Two people who might never see each other again because of their father-generation relationship met in a place like this. Is it fate? Is it fate...
