Chapter 212, Whirlpool

The next day, in Ciqikou Ancient Town, which the tourist had visited before, a man and a woman walked out of Baolun Temple and walked towards the antique street. The man's actual age was in his forties and almost fifty, but he was tall and tall.

, his eyes are lively, his complexion is very good, he looks more energetic than the young man! His eyebrows are very handsome, his smile is very gentle, because he has a fairy-like woman in his arms.

This woman seems to be very young, that is, in her early twenties, with a slim figure and beautiful features, but the mature aura she reveals invisibly, she must be in her thirties at least. She gives people the impression that if

Two words to describe it are typical - charming.

When You Fang first saw her, he thought she was a charming woman like a fairy. However, when his father who had just lost his wife took him home, he felt very uncomfortable and panicked, which led to the incident.

After a series of unpleasant experiences until he ran away from home, the embarrassment was resolved in the past two years, and the family got along very harmoniously.

These two people are, of course, You Fang's father You Zuming and You Fang's stepmother Lan Qing. Why are they here? It's normal. You Fang can travel, and so can his father. The habits of father and son are naturally similar.

When I came to Chongqing, I didn’t forget to visit Ciqikou Ancient Town.

You Zuming's business is spread all over the country, and this is not the first time he has come to Ciqikou Ancient Town. This time, it is mainly to accompany Lan Qing to visit.

Both of them are experts in appreciating antiques, especially You Zuming, who is an expert among connoisseurs. There are seemingly high-end fakes in the shops on both sides. You Zuming glanced at them, almost as if they had been stamped with various modern factory labels. The two of them walked as they walked.

While joking in a low voice, You Zuming said: "The eyesight of my bibliography family should be quite good after so many years of training. But you seem to be more magical than me. I still have to see and feel many things. You

You can figure it out just by intuition."

Lan Jingjiao smiled and said: "This is a woman's intuition, just like the first time I saw you, my intuition told me that you are a good man worth entrusting me with for life! ... I can only judge a rough age range, but the shape and style of the vessel

, it is impossible to distinguish the details of the origin of the decorations better than you."

You Zuming also smiled: "What you say is really endearing. It's not as simple as a woman's intuition. I know what it feels like. I spent half a lifetime playing with antiques to find it. It's a kind of immersive resonance. I described it before.

I didn’t come out, but I once talked with Chengcheng’s tutor, Professor Wu, on the phone, and he described and summarized it very accurately.”

Mentioning You Fang, Lan Qing frowned and said as if thinking: "Actually, in terms of ability in this area, Chengcheng is an expert, and the two of us combined may not be as good as him."

You Zuming: "Oh, you think so highly of this guy? He is still young. Although he has gained a lot of experience in the past few years, he still owes a bit of maturity."

Lan Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "Father, when he looks at his son, he always feels that he will not grow up. How can he behave maturely in front of you when he comes home?"

The two walked forward while chatting and laughing. Not far ahead was the shop where You Fang once bought the elegiac couplet. Two men happened to come out. Lan Qing's expression changed at a glance, and she pulled You Zuming and turned around.

. Her movement was very fast and clever. As soon as she took hold of You Zuming's arm, her right foot seemed to twist. She lost her center of gravity and leaned back. You Zuming's reaction was very fast, and he half-twirled to hug her.

Yes, it didn't flicker at all.

"What's wrong with you?" You Zuming sensitively sensed that something was wrong with his wife, his face was ugly and his expression was panicked.

"Zu Ming, I suddenly feel very uncomfortable. Can we go back?" After Lan Qing stood firm, she pulled her husband's sleeve and said in a pleading tone.

You Zuming nodded: "Okay, let's go, it's too hot, you may have heatstroke!"

It was said that he should walk very slowly while holding his wife who had a heat stroke, but he hooked Lan Qing's waist with one hand and quickly disappeared at the end of the stone alley. A man walking out of the calligraphy and painting shop inadvertently asked

Looking around, he happened to catch a glimpse of Lan Qing's back. He seemed to be surprised, and quickly stretched out his elbow to poke his companion next to him. When the other man looked up again, Lan Qing's figure had disappeared.

…

You Fang has been very busy these days. He and Hua Youxian go out early and come back late every day, as if they have a lot of things to deal with, and try not to be with Shen Sibao and Xie Xiaoding. He does have a lot of things to do, so he found a secret

He contacted Qi Ruoxue in a certain place, and the whispers between the two were not enough for outsiders to know. In addition, he also sent an email to Zhang Liubing as Li Feng.

The email stated very clearly that he hoped that Zhang Liubing would take care of a business called Toutu Company during the renovation project of Xunluan Building. The owner of the company was Hu Xingjian. Li Feng did not know this person, but he was a friend he had made in Guangzhou.

A relative of the child's family, Aiwujiwu would like to help, but please Zhang Liubing does not need to reveal the reason.

Then he called Tu Su who was far away in Beijing. Of course Tu Su was very happy to receive a call from You Fang's brother. She was also very busy during this time, taking care of her mother who was sick and hospitalized. Tu Su's mother had chronic diseases, and she was very busy every day.

An attack always requires hospitalization, and there are always one or two every year.

The two chatted on the phone for a long time, chatting about interesting things recently. It could be heard that the little girl missed him very much, and she felt happy even if she listened to his voice for a while. You Fang finally mentioned that he asked her to give it to her uncle in Guangzhou.

Say hello and ask Hu Xingjian to go to Lanxunluan Building decoration project. Go directly to Yuanchen Company to find Zhang Liubing, assistant general manager, who was introduced by one of his friends. He has already said hello.

Hu Xingjian could just go find Zhang Liubing, but because his friend who introduced the business was relatively sensitive, he should not make it public to the outside world. This was just a matter of making money in silence.

In addition to these things, You Fang also booked a room in a big hotel in Nan'an District. He sometimes hides here during the day, and only goes back to Qiqi Guest House to sleep at night. It's a bit like a cunning rabbit. After leaving Qiqi Guest House, he can go directly

Coming here, we are not leaving Chongqing for the time being.

On the third day after You Fang returned to Chongqing, Xie Xiaoxian came. She was on a business trip and went to Chongqing with her colleagues from the task force. Although she was very busy, she took the time to treat You Fang to dinner and told him on the phone that she would definitely

Come on! Because it was time after work and the time was very short, Xie Xiaoxian did not invite his uncle, aunt, and sister together. He could only wait until he was done with his work to get together again, and met with You Fang first.

The place Xie Xiaoxian had booked in advance was not far from the hotel where their working group was staying. You Fang originally said that she would go to the hotel to pick up Xie Xiaoxian, but she said no. There was a meeting to be held in the district in the afternoon and she would go directly to the hotel for the fun meeting. You Fang

If nothing is wrong, you can come and wait for her for a while.

The hotel is of good quality and the environment is very elegant. Xie Xiaoxian booked a private room on the third floor. The round table can seat seven or eight people, but there are only two of them. You Fang arrived first, and when he saw the environment, he knew that Xie Xiaoxian did not want anyone to disturb them.

To eat alone, you can actually sit at a table by the window in the lobby, but that way you are face to face. But when you eat at a round table in a private room, you can whisper side by side.

They made an appointment to start the dinner at six o'clock, but You Fang didn't see Xie Xiaoxian until 6:30, and there wasn't even a phone call. The waiter came into the room several times and asked when the order was going to be. He called her, but Xie Xiaoxian turned off his phone. He was helpless.

Just as Zhonggang put down the phone, Xie Xiaoxian's call came and he said apologetically: "You Fang, are you impatient for waiting? The meeting took a long time and just ended. I'll take a taxi and rush there right away. I'm sorry, you

Let’s order food first, there’s a bit of traffic on the road, I’ll be there in about half an hour.”

It wasn't until after seven o'clock that Xie Xiaoxian hurried over and apologized profusely as soon as she entered the door. She was wearing short-sleeved clothes, sweating a lot on a hot day, her face was red, and there was a bit of shyness in her apologetic eyes.

After she was discharged from the hospital last time due to illness, she always looked a little shy and timid when she saw You Fang again, and was no longer the mighty police officer she had been before.

The two haven't seen each other for about a month, and Xie Xiaoxian seems to have not seen You Fang for a long time, her eyes always focus on him and never leave him, but when they look directly at each other, she shyly hides and dodges. You Fang has already clicked.

After ordering two dishes and one soup, Xie Xiaoxian was asked to order two more dishes. Xie Xiaoxian glanced at the table and said happily: "What you ordered are all my favorites."

You Fang smiled: "Then you can order what I like to eat too."

Xie Xiaoxian pouted: "I really don't know what your favorite food is, braised pork ribs with matsutake mushrooms? It's not available here either!"

You Fang: "I like all the food in the world, as long as it's delicious, you can order whatever you want."

On the first day he arrived in Chongqing, Xie Xiaoxian came to meet You Fang and ordered a bottle of red wine. When eating Sichuan food, just use red wine and add some ice cubes. It is also a very special way of eating. As soon as we sat down, almost all Xie Xiaoxian was there.

Asked, the tourist was answering, and the questions were all about the recent travels in Chongqing and Yibin. Apparently Xie Xiaoding had told her cousin a lot of gossip in private, focusing on Wu Yuchong.

Unknowingly, he had finished one bottle and ordered another. Xie Xiaoxian poured a glass of wine for You Fang, which was very full. He also picked up a full glass of wine, lowered his head slightly and said softly:

"You Fang, I must toast you a glass of wine. I was eager to invite you as soon as I arrived in Chongqing just to toast you!"

You Fang picked up the cup and asked, "Why is it so serious?"

Xie Xiaoxian's tone was a little awkward, completely different from her usual speaking style: "Xiao Ding told me that you rejected Xue Qinan's proposal at the wine table. She invited you to the United States and provided you with opportunities to further your studies and develop your career.

You decided to stay, no matter what the reason is, I admire you very much... and I feel a little sorry for you. Maybe you will have better opportunities to develop after you go out, but in that case, I won't be able to see you."

This is quite roundabout! The reason why You Fang rejected Xue Qinan is very complicated, but in Xie Xiaoxian's opinion, it is more or less possible that it was because of her, and he was secretly moved for several days. Indeed, in the eyes of ordinary people,

Xue Qinan's proposal is not a temptation that can be easily refused.

You Fang held the cup in his right hand, waved his left hand and said with a smile: "What's there to regret? There are more and more development opportunities in the country now, so there is no need to travel so far away from home. Besides, all those who think they have some potential have run away.

But he also doesn’t think about how the place he thinks is better developed? I personally participate in witnessing the world around me become better, and try my best to make it happen. I feel more fulfilled.”

Xie Xiaoxian's eyes were full of affection: "For your words, I have to toast you!"

You Fang originally wanted to remind her that you shouldn't pour so much red wine, but instead he said: "Xiaoxian, you are so tired from work, drink some wine to relieve your fatigue, go back and have a good rest, but don't drink too much.

"

Xie Xiaoxian smiled sheepishly: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you in front of you like last time! ... I forgot to drink while talking, come on, cheers!"

The two of them raised their glasses at the same time. Xie Xiaoxian's hand was slightly lowered. The rim of the glass was a finger lower than You Fang's glass. It made a crisp sound when it was touched lightly in the air. As soon as You Fang put the glass to his lips, he saw Xie Xiaoxian

Having finished the drink in one gulp, he also drank the glass. The rose-colored wine had a slightly sour taste, but when sipped carefully, it revealed the mellow aroma of the years, leaving a wonderful aftertaste on the lips and teeth.

Xie Xiaoxian then poured himself a full glass, his face was already a light rose color, and then he poured wine for You Fang. You Fang quickly reached out to take the bottle: "Why do I have the nerve to always let you pour it? I'll do it myself!"

Xie Xiaoxian refused to give it to him. He held the bottle and said, "After waiting for so long, I finally have the opportunity to offer you a few glasses of wine. I should pour the wine for you and you can drink it!"

At this point, she had to let go. It wasn't that You Fang used the Eagle Claw Kung Fu to grab the bottle, but her phone rang. It was a call from the task force. With the cooperation of the Chongqing police, important clues were just discovered. In order to

To prevent the suspect from escaping upon hearing the news, a temporary arrest operation will be arranged later in the night. It is now eight o'clock in the evening, so there should be enough time to prepare.

After putting down the phone, Xie Xiaoxian said weakly as if he had done something wrong: "You Fang, I'm so sorry. I'm afraid I can't finish this meal with you. I'll pay and leave first. You sit down and eat slowly."

You Fang sighed: "Aren't you already off work? You can't even have a steady meal, and you're making it hard for others to live!"

Xie Xiaoxian said quickly: "Don't be angry. When Liu Li's task force is over, I will be transferred back to Beijing. Then I will sit in the department and go to and from get off work on time every day. Not only can I eat, but I can also buy vegetables and cook every day." "You Fang just sighed casually, but she misunderstood and thought he was talking about his future life. Since You Fang's last "confession", Xie Xiaoxian has been completely "lenient" to him.

You Fang quickly explained: "I'm not angry, and that's not what I meant! I'm just worried that you are working too hard."

Xie Xiaoxian stood up and said, "I'm fine. I'm the deputy team leader and leader. It's the frontline police officers who really do the hard work."

You Fang also stood up: "I heard your call. There is an arrest operation tonight. Is the backbone of Du Xiucai's gang that slipped through the net related to the Yunnan Jiang Laoda gang?"

Xie Xiaoxian: "Your ears are really smart! I knew you were magical."

You Fang asked worriedly: "As a leader, you won't show up in person, right?"

Xie Xiaoxian replied insincerely: "Don't worry about me. I just arrested two people. The police force this time is very strong. They even have bulletproof vests. There is no need for me to appear at the scene." He said it in a natural manner.

He opened his arms, lowered his head and glanced up secretly, which seemed to be an invitation and an expectation.

She wants him to hug him! Last time in Guangzhou, on the day she was discharged from the hospital, she hugged him from behind. Today, she wanted to hug him from the front. You Fang reached out and gave him a half-empty, half-real hug, not daring to hug him too tightly.
