In a room near the sea in City S, an old man was lying on a recliner. This time, he did not close his eyes. Instead, he looked at the ceiling above his head with cloudy eyes. There was no focus in his eyes, and the expression on his face was blurred.
The vertical and horizontal wrinkles are covered, and its true expression cannot be seen.
After the 11.28 shooting incident, Xu Lang was seriously injured and hospitalized. He did not die, but a special police officer died. The old man was not surprised or surprised by this result. If Xu Lang died so easily,
So, what's the point of everything he did before?
The old man didn't know about this operation to kill Xu Lang at first. When he found out, it was too late. He just told one person and let her solve it all.
The young man's rash action disrupted the old man's plan, and because of this action, everything completely started to go in another direction. For example, Xu Lang disappeared.
Xu Lang's disappearance surprised the old man, but after thinking about it carefully, he was not surprised anymore. He knew Xu Lang too well. Sometimes, he even knew him better than Xu Lang himself.
The disappearance must be related to the death of the special policeman named Li Chaoyang. Of course, it is more related to the organization 'Master Chang'.
"Hey...you idiot, you ruined my big deal."
The old man let out a long sigh.
Obviously, the old man was very angry about the young man's unauthorized actions, but it was too late to say anything now, everything had become a fact.
The old man knew something was wrong when the video appeared on the Internet. When he rushed to the scene, he happened to meet the young man.
The old man didn't say anything about the man coming back again. He knew that with the young man's character, he would definitely come back. However, he didn't expect that he would use such extreme means to deal with Xu Lang. He wanted to stop it at the time.
, However, he finally gave up doing this.
The old man knew the young man's temper very well. He knew that since he chose to do that, it would definitely not change because of his appearance. This was indeed the case, so he did not stop him.
"Boy, did you notice something when you disappeared? Huh?" the old man said to himself.
"I believe that with your ability, you should be able to find me. Since there are problems with the previous plan, then a new plan has begun. I hope you will not disappoint me and don't wait too long. I don't
How long has it been?"
————
In a certain room.
After the young man learned the news of Xu Lang's disappearance, he immediately became angry. He knew that it was his actions that made Xu Lang aware of something.
When he came back this time, someone warned him not to do unnecessary things, otherwise the old man's plan would be ruined. However, he didn't listen and chose the simplest and crudest way to solve the problem once and for all.
However, he failed, and even the old man's plan also had problems.
Xu Lang's disappearance must have a purpose, and he must have noticed something.
As for what Xu Lang noticed, he didn't know, but he knew that he might be exposed.
The man sitting on the sofa had a gloomy and terrifying face, but when he thought that he would be exposed in front of Xu Lang, he calmed down.
In fact, from a long time ago, he had hoped that he could have a face-to-face contest with Xu Lang. However, the situation did not allow it, so he could only observe Xu Lang secretly. Now, the opportunity has come. For men, this is
A good opportunity. If he could compete face-to-face with Xu Lang this time and beat him, his previous efforts would have been in vain.
"Haha...Xu Lang, I'm looking forward to meeting you. I hope you won't be too surprised when the time comes, huh? Haha..."
A burst of laughter sounded in the room.

Ye Du's home.
After Xu Lang disappeared, she was the first to get the news. After getting the news, she went to the hospital immediately, but it was still too late. Xu Lang left without leaving a single word.
, He didn't even mention Xiao Yueyue, which gave Ye Du a bad feeling.
'Xu Lang must know something.'
This was the first thing Ye Du thought of after accepting Xu Lang's disappearance. She once thought about whether to use her connections to find Xu Lang, but she thought about it carefully and finally gave up.
Once she does this, it is certain to find Xu Lang, but it will take time, and how long this time cycle will be, she doesn't know. After all, Xu Lang wants to hide, and it will be difficult for ordinary people to find him. Since Xu Lang disappeared,
, she knew this when Tian Yongchun sent people to search for Xu Lang but to no avail, and once she took action, her secret would be exposed.
Although Ye Du had never thought of hiding anything from Xu Lang, she still didn't want Xu Lang to know her secret. Although Xu Lang had already guessed it, she still didn't want to have a premature showdown with Xu Lang because,
She didn't know if she and Xu Lang could go back to the past after the showdown, even if she had another identity.
Of course, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is, Ye Du doesn't know what Xu Lang noticed and what he thought. And whether Xu Lang's disappearance was planned by him or someone arranged it, Ye Du
I don’t know if it will be broken because of my actions.
If Xu Lang's plan was ruined, the gains would outweigh the losses, so she chose to do nothing.
After Xu Lang disappeared, the person who acted the calmest was actually not her, nor Xu Lang's colleagues or leaders, but Xiao Yueyue.
After Xiao Yueyue learned that Xu Lang was missing, she was very nervous at first, thinking that someone had kidnapped Xu Lang. However, after she learned that Xu Lang left on her own, Xiao Yueyue said nothing.
She behaved very calmly. She was no different from usual in the past few days. She didn't look like a child whose father suddenly disappeared, and she didn't look like a six-year-old child.
Ding Haoqiong and the others did not notice this because of the case. This is normal. After all, there are so many cases now and they are very busy. They have no time to care about what a little kid is thinking. However, Ye Du noticed it.
, which made Ye Du feel very curious.
"Xiao Yueyue, aren't you worried about him?" Ye Du asked, sitting quietly on the sofa and looking at Xiao Yueyue.
Xiao Yueyue was curled up on the sofa, watching a crime movie. After hearing Ye Du's inquiry, she turned her head, glanced at Ye Du, shook her head, and said crisply: "Don't worry."
"Why aren't you worried?" Ye Du asked curiously.
"Why should you worry?" Xiao Yueyue asked.
Ye Du was speechless. Black lines appeared on her forehead. She looked at Xiao Yueyue and frowned. What happened to this child? She really didn't understand that Xu Lang was missing after being seriously injured. This meant
What, or that she already knew what Xu Lang was going to do.
After thinking about it, Ye Du felt that the latter was more likely.
In the past few months, Ye Du has been living with Xiao Yueyue. She has taught Xiao Yueyue a lot of things, and Xiao Yueyue also learns very quickly. Xiao Yueyue is a very smart child. In this regard, she
It is very clear, and Xiao Yueyue is a precocious child with a very mature heart, no less than a teenager. She must know that it is not a good thing for Xu Lang to disappear while seriously injured, and she
But he wasn't worried about Xu Lang's safety, which was abnormal.
Xiao Yueyue has been without a mother since she was a child. Xu Lang single-handedly raised her. If something happened to Xu Lang, the little girl would definitely be very anxious, and she would definitely go crazy. Even though she is only six years old now,
However, Xiao Yueyue is very good at many things. For Xu Lang, Xiao Yueyue is the most important relative, and for Xiao Yueyue, Xu Lang is not the same. So, this
Father and daughter will go crazy no matter who gets into trouble, and now, Xiao Yueyue's reaction is too strange.
"Do you know where Xu Lang went?" Ye Du asked.
"..."
Xiao Yueyue shook her head and said nothing.
"Has Xu Lang contacted you?"
"..."
"Are you really not worried about his safety?"
"Is there any use in worrying? He is a man. Men sometimes have to do things, and we shouldn't interfere. He must be doing what he does for his own reasons. We can just wait with peace of mind."
After saying this, Xiao Yueyue turned her head, looked at Ye Du, grinned, showing two dimples, and asked: "Aunt Ye, am I right?"
Ye Du was immediately speechless, while Xiao Yueyue turned her head again and continued watching TV.
Xiao Yueyue's answer not only did not solve the doubts in Ye Du's heart, but made her even more confused. Originally, she thought she had understood Xiao Yueyue, but now it seems that she was wrong. Maybe, except for many
No one outside Lang knew what Xiao Yueyue was thinking.
Thinking of this, Ye Du narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Yueyue, and she began to re-examine this girl.
However, Xiao Yueyue seemed completely unaware of Ye Du's scrutiny.

The day after Xu Lang woke up, Ye Xuefei rushed to S City from Yanjing City and saw Xu Lang lying on the hospital bed.
When the two met, they still didn't talk much.
Ye Xuefei is not the kind of person who talks a lot, whether at work or in private, and Xu Lang is not in the mood to talk because of the 11.28 shooting incident, so when they met, both of them were very talkative.
silence.
At that time, when Ye Xuefei came to see Xu Lang, Ye Du left very wisely. There were only two of them in the ward, and no one knew what they talked about.
However, Ye Xuefei left City S on the same day and returned to Yanjing City. Then, a board meeting was held. As for the content of the meeting, no one except the people on the board of directors knew.
At this moment, Ye Xuefei was standing on the balcony, wearing a man's clothes, looking at the night sky in the distance, silent.
Next to Ye Xuefei, stood a man. The man was wearing thick clothes. He seemed to be afraid of the cold. Maybe it was because the temperature outside was too low. The man's face was a little pale and he coughed from time to time.
"Cough cough cough..."
Hearing the man's cough, Ye Xuefei turned her head, looked at him, her eyes filled with distress, and said, "Let's go in."
The man didn't show off, nodded, turned around and walked into the room.
The man could not move very easily, so Ye Xuefei helped the man into the room and sat down on the sofa.
"Why did you choose to come to Yanjing City at this time?" Ye Xuefei poured a glass of warm water for the man and handed it to the man's hand and asked.
The man took the tea cup, but did not drink it. He just held it quietly in his hand. It seemed that only in this way could he absorb the tea cup.
Point the temperature.
In fact, compared to the outside, the room is very warm.
The man was none other than the missing Xu Lang.
At this time, Xu Lang's appearance had changed a lot. His long snow-white hair had disappeared. All he had was a common hairstyle. His hair had also changed from white to black. However, if you look carefully,
, it can still be found that some of the hair is white. Obviously, he secretly baked it with oil.
Xu Lang was very tired and lost a lot of weight. However, his eyes were shining and he looked much more energetic.
Hearing Ye Xuefei's inquiry, Xu Lang hesitated and asked: "Sun Wenyao has repeatedly committed crimes in S City, what do you think?"
Ye Xuefei thought for a while and said: "I feel like he is going for you, but it doesn't seem like it."
Xu Lang nodded and said: "Actually, I thought he was coming for me at first, but as he committed more and more crimes, I felt that he was not coming for me, but for me.
The police went there. Later, after the Chen Jiahe case, I felt that he was going for the people behind CSY. But now, I suddenly discovered that he was actually going for me from the beginning. But as time went by,
As cases continue to occur, we continue to conduct in-depth investigations, and we feel that he is not here for me."
"Why? Why is he coming for you?" Ye Xuefei asked curiously.
"That's because..."
When the words came to his lips, Xu Lang did not continue speaking.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Everything stems from that nightmare. In the nightmare, he saw Sun Wenyao. Sun Wenyao wanted him to sink and fall into the abyss of sin. When he first woke up, Xu Lang thought it was his illusion. However, after
After thinking for a while and reviewing the previous series of cases, Xu Lang felt that this possibility was very high. In order to confirm this guess, he chose to disappear and start from other aspects.
After Sun Wenyao returned to S City, Xu Lang had been led by him since the Yang Rongwei case. Until he became concerned about the case, Wang Anyan's sudden appearance, and Xu Lang's sudden attack, Xu Lang gradually realized that something was wrong. He felt,
We can no longer follow the previous routine. Whether it is the Yang Rongwei case or the Chen Qiumin case, including a series of subsequent cases, Sun Wenyao was the one who walked in front and left clues, and Xu Lang and the others relied on these clues.
This feeling is very bad as they continue to investigate. Xu Lang and the others have never figured out what Sun Wenyao wants to do. Now, he wants to jump out, leave the chessboard, and look at all this from the perspective of a bystander. Perhaps, from the perspective of a bystander,
Here, he can find something.
Xu Lang's disappearance was not a sudden one, but a careful plan.
"Because of what?"
Ye Xuefei had been waiting for Xu Lang's answer, but after waiting for a long time and seeing that Xu Lang had no intention of continuing, she asked.
Xu Lang shook his head, picked up the water glass and took a sip, and then said: "I can't say for the time being, just take it as my intuition."
Seeing that Xu Lang was unwilling to say anything, Ye Xuefei did not ask any more questions, but changed the subject and asked: "Who attacked you that night? Was it someone from 'Master Chang'?"
Xu Lang thought for a moment, nodded first, and then shook his head.
"What do you mean? Are you not sure?"
"When we were investigating Wang Anyan, I discovered that he had a tattoo on his body, which is the unique symbol of members of the 'Master Chang' organization. You know this very well."
Hearing what Xu Lang said, Ye Xuefei nodded, she still knew these things.
"Wang Anyan appeared in the wrong place and at the wrong time. At first, I thought he was simply out for revenge, but now that I think about it, it's not the case."
"Why not? Aren't Ai Chengcheng and others killed by him? Moreover, these people were indeed the ones who forced Meng Bufan to death." Ye Xuefei asked curiously.
Xu Lang thought for a while and said: "At first, I thought so too, but when I saw Wang Anyan, I discovered that, in fact, he was not the one who wanted to avenge Meng Bufan."
"Not him? Who is that?"
"Jiang Yao."
"Jiang Yao?" Ye Xuefei looked at Xu Lang doubtfully.
"Jiang Yao is Meng Bufan's fiancée, and Meng Bufan committed suicide before they were about to get married, and then Jiang Yao disappeared. Therefore, I suspect that Jiang Yao is the one who wants to avenge Meng Bufan, and Wang Anyan is just her
Just a helper."
Hearing this, Ye Xuefei nodded, showing an expression of sudden realization. Then she frowned again and asked, "But why did Wang Anyan help Jiang Yao?"
Xu Lang shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific reason, but I have a guess."
"What guess?"
"Jiang Yao and Wang Anyan have a cooperative relationship. Since Wang Anyan said that he is a peripheral member of 'Master Chang', and he only knows one person, then I think the reason why he helped Jiang Yao was besides Meng Bufan's relationship.
, more probably because Jiang Yao is also a member of 'Master Chang'."
"You mean, Wang Anyan killed someone to help Jiang Yao?"
Xu Lang nodded.
"But the people who forced Meng Bufan to death were basically killed by Wang Anyan. Wang Anyan helped, so why did he show up? And, why did he insist on seeing you?" Ye Xuefei asked.
Xu Lang did not speak, but fell into deep thought. He thought of something.
