Longmen Memoirs

"So, even if we are not facing the main forces in the slums now, what can the Great Yan Army do in the current situation? If those people really use these channels that even the Guards Bureau doesn't know about to leave the slums Hide elsewhere, how do Dayan's army plan to catch them out?"

Chen asked, but no one answered.

Of course, Chen knew that the police officers from the Guards Bureau could not answer his question. Everything, including tonight's action, was too sudden.

Ghetto 29, border.

He waited here for 10 minutes until there were footsteps approaching from behind. The person approaching was slender, wearing a black suit, and had two long and short knives on her waist. She was holding a black umbrella, and the guards did not block her approach.

"Are you ready? Fox."

"Are you really going to help Wei Yanwu and Longmen with this?" Fox looked at his back and faced the darkness on the outer ring of rooftops in the slums: "They won't thank you, and no one in this city will thank you."

"I thought I never needed Longmen to thank me."

"Ha, this answer is really in line with your style, that's why you agreed to Wei Yanwu to help him clean up this trouble. In fact, if he really wants to take action against the slums, he should take care of these things by himself. Not to you."

Fox said, taking her cigarettes out of her bag with her free hand, shaking one out and lighting it.

"I'm not helping him, Fox." He turned around and looked at Wolper, who was standing a few meters behind him through the thin rain curtain: "This city has always been like this, it doesn't care about right or wrong, nor does it care about living in Whatever the people here have done for him, whether they are infected or Longmen people, Longmen always treats them with the same value..."

The fox exhaled a mouthful of turbid smoke, blending into the cold rainy night.

"Huh... before you say this, you have to thank me first. If it weren't for me and my people, you guys alone wouldn't be able to block all the people who want to escape through the gap. There are a lot of infections among them. By."

"Before thanking you, I have to thank Wei Yanwu first. If he hadn't provided detailed information, how would you and I have been able to figure out this slum with complex terrain?" He smiled: "So I think , I don’t want to thank you.”

"Let's change the topic. Where is Chen Huijie? You really think she can notice it."

"Gao Yi has passed. I think if the inspection team was not so incompetent, they would soon notice the changes in the deployment of the Xianden camp. I will not let my people stop them, but... what happens next, It’s up to you.”

"Can you be more sincere?"

"for example……"

"For example, tell me why you are forcing her in this way, for example, tell me what you are planning!"

The fox stared at those pale golden eyes. In the dim street lights, she saw the other person looking at her. The rain fell along the umbrella. The fox suddenly felt that she did not understand the person in front of her at all now, because he had changed his appearance. Even in Londinium, the fox had never felt like this. At least then she could guess, but now she had no clue.

After a brief look at each other, the fox was discouraged.

"You're not going to tell me, are you?"

"Not yet."

"Just like Chen Huijie, wait a minute, wait a minute?" The fox smiled, and the smile flashed away: "Ah, after all, that's the kind of person you are, a dog. You look like a dog."

"I'll take it as if you're complimenting me."

"Wrong, I was scolding you. An inexperienced man like you will make girls very disappointed. There probably won't be many people who like you. I'm really unlucky."

"Don't say that. Superintendent Su Li of the action team, a well-known figure in Longmen, when did he become so sentimental? This is not like your style at all. I have always felt that Fox, you should be more free and easy."

The fox smiled and held her umbrella.

"I think so too." She said, paused, and said word by word: "Dog-dong-xi!"

"..."

"I feel much better now." She breathed out softly.

"You're welcome."

"What supplement?"

"...This is a request, not an order."

"Tell him for me, if they don't block the way, I can't guarantee it." He said, and added: "In fact, at this point, it doesn't matter whether the people in the restaurant are alive or dead. Wei Yanwu wants to Nothing matters, what matters is how far Chen can go for this slum."

"I don't know what you want her to do. What if she can't do it?" asked the fox.

He fell silent.

After a few seconds, he looked at the fox and replied:

"She has to do it, and if this is what she's been after, she should find out for herself."

The fox was silent for a while.

"Is she...really your wife?"

He didn't answer.

Chen should be able to pull out that sword.

It should be able to cut off the shackles that bound her.

Wei Yanwu thought that I agreed to help Chen deal with the trouble in the slums because of the setbacks he encountered in Longmen. No, he was wrong.

No matter how difficult Longmen's problems are, Hui Jie can face them, but what I want is something else.

Chapter 20 Try and you will succeed.

Chen Mo didn't answer the fox's last question.

In fact, he has never been able to come up with a more precise answer. If according to what ordinary people call a couple, then he and Chen may not have any relationship that can be called an emotional connection.

They skipped the stage of mutual affection between men and women, which was due to a reckless impulse. Chen Mo was not prepared, and neither was Chen.

But the fact is that Chen Mo has always hoped that if he could have more time, he could spend time with Chen like ordinary young couples, those family stories and some warm and trivial moments, every little bit and trivial matter in life, but this matter It was never up to him or Chen.

Chen Huijie gave him a chance to make amends, and was even willing to wait, but Chen Mo failed her.

In the eyes of Longmen people, Chen Huijie does not understand compromise and flexibility. In fact, she has made too many compromises and adaptations, not only for the slums, for Longmen, but also for her lover.

Come to think of it, Chen Mo didn't even really get to know Chen, just a general understanding, knowing what she likes, what she hates, what her hobbies are, what she doesn't like, fragments of Chen's life and her interests.

For Chen Mo, these are all blank, and I'm afraid the same is true for Chen Mo.

Can they really be considered a couple?If they exchange rings, can they be considered husband and wife if they have had physical contact with each other?

Chen Mo knew that was not the case, and both he and Chen knew that was not the case.

They should have more time to get to know each other, and they should have more things to share with each other, her joys and sorrows, every one of her emotions, tension, uneasiness, worries, her determination, her pursuit, and so on. As for the details of her slightly raised eyebrows indicating her mood.

Chen hates being deceived, concealed, and plotted, especially the people she trusts and close to whom she thinks will be with her for life. It is undoubtedly the same as cutting off the flesh and blood of her heart bit by bit with a knife. No, maybe no one in the world likes to be arranged. Then she stepped into the drama planned for her by others.

Including Chen Mo himself.

But they already are.

Later, Chen Mo kept asking himself whether he had any regrets. Even though he had been lying for half his life, Chen Mo could not deceive himself.

He doesn't regret it, he doesn't think he has the right to regret it.

Regret is reserved for those who have choices. Similarly, regret is sometimes reserved for those who have no choice.

What kind of person is he?

He is not a good husband.

Chen is a pitiful ghost, pitiful that few people loved her since childhood, pitiful that in the end, even the people she thought loved her deceived her again and again.

Whether it's Wei Yanwu or Chen Mo.

This dragon gate was not good enough to her. This dragon gate took away many things from Chen. She would not be the most miserable person in the dragon gate, but the misery of those people had nothing to do with Chen Mo.

After all, he has always been horribly selfish.

Chen Mo did not answer the fox's question.

He lowered his pale golden eyes and turned slightly. The heavy rain obscured his outline. The fox couldn't see clearly the expression on his face at this moment. He turned his back, and his luxurious black python clothes swayed slightly against the wind and rain at night. .

The dim outer ring of the city in Longmen in the distance.

"It's time for you to go, Fox."

The fox heard him say this.

Shi Huaiya was a step too slow after all. By the time she arrived at Chen's team's original position, Chen had already left.

"Where's Chen Huijie?"

"Superintendent Shi Huaiya? Why are you in such a hurry? Chief Chen and Inspector Xingxiong led the team away. They seem to have received a key clue."

"Didn't I tell her to wait for me? *Longmen expletive* This bastard Chen."

"Huh?" The police officer opened his mouth in surprise.

"I'm not scolding you, but I can't get through the phone calls of Stinky Rat. Isn't her family hiding in a mouse hole in the slum area? I made more than a dozen calls but I didn't know how to report that she was safe."

Shi Huaiya was unhappy, irritable, and uneasy. She could not suppress the growing worry and panic in her heart. After taking a few deep breaths, Shi Huaiya finally calmed down a little.

Calm down, Shi Huaiya, calm down and think about what you should do now.

"..."

"Where did they go?"

"This... Sir Chen didn't say anything. They seem to be leaving in a hurry. Do you need me to contact you on your behalf?"

Shi Huaiya was about to answer almost subconsciously, but she suddenly thought of something.

"No, contact each group immediately and bring me the deployment routes of Dayan's army in the slums. It's very important. Immediately, immediately. Then contact Chief Wei. No, I'll contact you personally. I want to get these within half an hour. No matter what method is used, then put all the Guards Bureau teams in the slums on standby."

"Understood, but Sir Shihuaiya, what are we going to do? If it is to wipe out individual remaining forces, there should be no need to mobilize everyone now."

"Don't ask! I don't know what to do." Shi Huaiya rubbed her blond hair impatiently. She walked out of the command room. The rain outside had not stopped yet.

"Do as I say, be quick, and ignore the rest."

I also want to know what should I do next?What can I do?

Without an order, do I have to lead the Guards Bureau to fight against the Great Yan Army?Can I afford this risk? But she is not here now, and when she should be here most, she throws all the mess on me.

Chen received a communication from a private channel.

Codename XR02, Chen's informant in the ghetto.

"...Sir Chen."

"XR02? This is the time. Wait, where are you now? Are you in the slums?"

"Sir Chen, has the Guards Bureau entered the slums? Why, haven't I made it clear to you before? The Guards Bureau also canceled this plan."

"This happened suddenly, XR02. This was not the intention of the Guards Bureau. It is difficult for me to explain clearly at the moment. Please answer my question first. Are you in the slums?"

"Yes, those officers from the Guards Bureau have overturned several gang stations. Black troops are everywhere..."

Chen Neng could tell that the person on the other side of the communication was very uneasy.

"Don't be nervous, XR02, are you injured?"

"No, I was going to leave the slums through other passages with a few people I knew. We know a lot of these places, but someone stopped us, and now we are all driven to the same place? They arrested a lot... … A lot of infected people and ghetto residents, surrounded by black troops.”

"You mean, when you were about to leave, someone intercepted you, and it was through a secret passage, and many people were arrested?"

"Yes, I am using the device you gave me to contact you quietly, Sir Chen. I am not sure. Are they going to get rid of us?"

"The Guard does not deal with anyone privately."

"But we are people from the slums, and those people are not from the Guards Bureau. Sir Chen, I believe you won't do this, but those people can't tell. If I..."

"Don't say such things!" Chen scolded: "Now, tell me your location and how many people there are, and I will come right away."

"No, you can't come here, Sir Chen. These people are not from the Guards Bureau. I know the look in their eyes. They don't care at all about how many people they kill. I can't let you take this risk. It's not worth it for the ghetto. You still have There are more important things to do!”

"This matter is equally important. No one can deal with the citizens here in Longmen privately, even the infected people in Longmen. They have committed crimes and should be judged by the laws of Longmen. No one has the qualification to decide your life or death. "

"Huh... I can't convince you about the outer ring scrapyard in District 29, but Sir Chen, bring more people with you, including Sister Gui. Never, never come here alone."

I knew, I knew, Wei Yanwu remained silent, such a big thing in the slums tonight would never end so easily.

Does he want to secretly eliminate this trouble in the slums through the hands of Dayan's army?

Did he deliberately let the Guards use this excuse to enter the slums so as to attract other people's attention?

Chen might as well use the greatest malice to speculate on Wei Yanwu. Facts have proved that Chen underestimated Wei Yanwu's ruthlessness every time. She has been disappointed with her uncle too many times. Although their relationship has since eased, she cannot understand Wei Yanwu. , and Wei Yanwu couldn't understand her.

District 29, junkyard.
