Ni Yuying saw the bottle at the airport. At that time, she was preparing to take a flight home.
Bottle, whose original name was Haiping, was a Manchu girl who was one year older than her. He knew her because of Abing. When Abing was still a student, he had imitated the popular gang of gangsters and organized an underground organization called " Seventeen Roses ", and Bottle was the backbone of it. However, Ni Yuying was the only one who knew that the Seventeen Roses did not consist of seventeen people. There were only four members: Abing, Bottle, Phantom, and Snow, who betrayed Abing. The four members then developed their own underlings. " Seventeen " was the house number of Abing's family. Because they always gathered at Abing's house, they took " Seventeen " as their number." Rose " was the medium through which they communicated with each other and transmitted information that only they understood each other. Of course, the " roses " were not real roses, but paper roses that they had folded by themselves. After opening them, there would be a number or text password on them. Only the person who picked up the paper roses with a purpose could crack it. At that time, they were all rebellious teenagers. This method undoubtedly made them feel mysterious and fresh.
Ni Yuying used to like the surprise of paper roses. For example, on her birthday, she received a paper rose from Abing. There would be a password on the rose, but it wouldn't be too difficult for her. She would always be able to solve it. The hidden content was either a secret date time and place, or that he would hide the gift in a place she could not imagine and let her decipher it. Those days were filled with happiness…When she saw the bottle again, Ni Yuying could not help but think of Abing. She thought of the happy days when she was with Abing, the days that could not be returned.
Before Ni Yuying could express her surprise, Bottle greeted her warmly," Little Rose, what are you doing here?”Little Rose, a secret name. Back then, Abing had tacitly acknowledged that she was the second in command of the Seventeen Roses. If the Seventeen Roses had a strict hierarchy, then she could be said to be the second in command. Only the internal leaders knew her secret title.
" I'm going home…" Ni Yuying waved the plane ticket in her hand at the bottle. "Oh, hehe, I also came to Shanghai on a business trip. Now that I'm done…I heard from Abing that you studied in Shanghai?”Bottle pulled Ni Yuying to a coffee shop and sat down while he lit up a cigarette with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Miss. This is a non-smoking area!”A waiter politely walked over to the table where Ni Yuying and the bottle were sitting and gestured in a low voice. When Bottle heard this, he smiled embarrassedly at the waiter. Then, he fiercely extinguished the cigarette on the napkin at the side and wrapped the cigarette ash in the napkin. The napkin had already been rolled into a ball and stuffed into the waiter.
"Still in school?" It had been a few years since they last met, and it was only then that Bottle sized up Ni Yuying. Even though she was one year older than her, they were still students from the same batch. In the past, they could be considered good friends. Bottle's mother was also in the textile factory where Abing's mother worked. Later, she was laid off and made a living by herself. She taught herself to be a chef and opened a hotel. It could be said that after more than ten years of development, the scale of Mother Bottle's hotel had gradually expanded, and Bottle had become a "rich second generation". However, unlike Ni Yuying, who was exhausted from running around and pursuing her dreams, her life was very practical and she did not go to school. Four years ago, her mother had sent her to Singapore to study marketing management for two years. Now, she had gradually taken over her mother's business achievements.
" I've already graduated two years ago!" "Why? Am I still as childish as before?" Ni Yuying asked in amusement.”Bottle looked at her haggard face." No…But you really haven't changed at all. I recognized you the moment I entered the hall!”As she spoke excitedly, she pretended to hold her coffee cup in a reserved manner. The cup covered her wide smile. It was quite awkward. The two girls, who were dressed quite well, were actually the loudest in the entire cafe! As expected, northern girls were all straightforward! As Ni Yuying thought about it, she used her eyes to signal the silence around the bottle. Of course, the bottle had already felt it a long time ago. It stirred the coffee with a spoon. It was a bitter coffee without sugar or milk. It took a sip, but it unconsciously frowned. It was so bitter that tears came out...
"I heard that you're already a boss. Are you very busy?”Ni Yuying smiled. She was happy to see the bottle at the airport. That was because she was his best friend, a best friend whom he had not seen for many years.
"Don't tease me. Aren't you a future director?”Bottle's mouth had always been sharp. He still remembered that when Ni Yuying received the university admission letter, she immediately went to look for Abing, who had returned from the summer vacation. However, she did not find him. Instead, she saw Bottle, who lived next door to Abing. When Ping Zi found out that she had been accepted by S University as a director, he teased her," Yo, our future director, please take care of me. Look at me, can I be a guest star in your movie in the future?"”……Once the door of memory was opened, it would surge like a flood that could not be stopped.
"He's already gone home. What future director!”Ni Yuying mocked herself. I, I lost my job!" " I don't know if I have a conflict with Shanghai. Every time I come to Shanghai, I always meet some strange people and encounter some strange things…So, I've decided to quit all my jobs here and go home!”
The bottle seemed to have noticed something." What are your plans after you go home?”
Ni Yuying shook her head." I'll go home and rest first. Then, I'll think about finding a job slowly…"
"Why don't you come over to my place to carry the plates?”" I'll pay you more than the average waiter," Bottle teased." How about that?”
Ni Yuying blinked her big bell-like eyes as she stared at the bottle. She was very serious and did not look like she was joking at all. Ni Yuying knew that this was the bottle! The bottle was very good at lying. Even if it was a joke, it would make you feel that it was not a joke. She looked at the bottle and nodded vigorously." Alright, alright. I'll thank you for taking me in first…" She did not expect the bottle to smile unnaturally when it saw Ni Yuying's reaction. Then, she smiled insincerely." Anyway, we're on the same flight. After we get off the plane, someone will pick me up. Come with me to my new shop!”Ni Yuying then saw the bottle fold the remaining napkin into a very small paper rose. Her slender hands complemented the white paper rose. It was very beautiful. Actually, origami roses were also very particular. Ni Yuying more or less knew that different folding methods would have different hints. Even though she had never folded it. Was he folding the bottle for fun, or was he folding it for someone else? Ni Yuying subconsciously thought.
"The roses you fold are still so beautiful!”He praised her sincerely and forced himself to look away from the origami rose in the bottle. The bottle looked up." Oh, you know what? My shop is now decorated with paper roses. Isn't it unique? "Hehe, I'm used to folding them…" Ni Yuying felt that she had thought too far ahead when she heard the bottle. Or rather, subconsciously, she hoped that everything around her was a secret.
" I'm going to the washroom…" Ni Yuying stood up apologetically and looked at her watch. It was still quite some time before the flight check-in, so she asked Bottle to help her look after her things. Actually, she didn't have much luggage. It was just a small suitcase with some books and clothes.
Bottle smiled." Don't worry, it's still early…I'll help you look after your things."”Ni Yuying nodded. She turned around and walked out of the cafe towards the bathroom. She walked very quickly and did not notice that a man in a black sportswear and a black baseball cap quickly flashed into the cafe after she left.
The bottle was no longer in the cafe. Ni Yuying and Bottle sat on a table with a row of paper roses in the shape of an 'L'. Ni Yuying's suitcase was beside the table. The man picked up Ni Yuying's suitcase and left the cafe in a hurry without anyone noticing, just like how no one noticed that he had been there before.
Ran Xusheng was woken up by his own alarm. When she opened her eyes, the hands of the alarm clock had already pointed to ten. He remembered that when he drove Ni Yuying back to the city, Ni Yuying received a call from the landlord. It turned out that her rent was due. If she did not pay the rent, she would be kicked out by the landlord. However, that willful girl had actually told the landlady of the seemingly mean townsfolk over the phone that she wanted to check out right in front of him. At that time, he was stunned!
Later, he drove her to the house she rented. She had more or less packed her luggage and moved to his temporary residence. He was also surprised that she trusted him. He was also very happy to be her " porter " and " cohabiting " partner.
He remembered that they drank a lot last night. He knew that she was not good at drinking and was slightly allergic to alcohol, so he drank yellow wine and gave her fruit-flavored beer, which was equivalent to a beverage. He didn't remember what she had said, but he remembered that he had been drinking and watching her for the entire night. It wasn't until she fell asleep in his bed, peacefully and confidently, that he retreated to the sofa in the living room and set an alarm for himself. He did not expect that he would still have such a splitting headache after being woken up by the alarm clock.
He got up and washed up. She felt that the atmosphere in her house was not right. What was wrong? It was hard for him to explain himself. Looking around, it was much cleaner than before. Even though he wasn't very sloppy, he wasn't particular either. He casually threw things around and made the room look like a bachelor's " nest." However, the house was clearly tidied up. Opening the fridge, the originally empty space was now stuffed with all kinds of food. Eggs, side dishes covered in plastic wrap, sushi, rice balls, instant noodles, and ham sausages…They were all very convenient and easy to take care of. Staring at the food, Ran Xusheng's lips curled up slightly." This little girl..."
He pushed open the bedroom door. It was obvious that the bedroom had been meticulously cleaned, just like the living room. The curtains were obediently tied, and the sunlight shone in through the window, making the room warm. The bed was made flat and replaced with a new light blue bed sheet. He remembered that he had told Ni Yuying that he liked the light blue sky and that he wanted to go to Inner Mongolia the most…Suddenly, when he saw a conspicuous post-it note on the snow-white wall, the warmth in his heart disappeared.
Ni Yuying's small handwriting was written on the sticky note:
Brother Ran, I'm leaving." Perhaps Shanghai is really not suitable for me. I don't want to get involved in any more complicated matters. Yesterday, when you were drunk, you said that the production team was using a movie as an excuse…I was very scared. Now, I just want to go home! Really, thank you. Thank you for taking care of me. Let's meet again if fate allows us to. -Ni Yuying
Instantly, Ran Xusheng felt blood rush to his brain. She left? How could she leave without saying goodbye? She suddenly remembered that she had said that she was going to resign yesterday. He had dragged her to the Shanghai office building of the Taiwan TV station. There was an air ticket office opposite the building. After waiting for her for more than three hours, he saw her walking towards him from the air ticket office, but he didn't think much of it at that time.
Damn it! He secretly clenched his fists. He had switched the Ice Butterfly and hidden the real Ice Butterfly in a very hidden place. After the criminal was brought to justice, the drugs would be destroyed. But would Orlando really let it go? He already knew his identity in detail. He even knew that he had beaten up Wu Zisong for no reason. If he was smart enough to deduce, he would be connected to Ni Yuying…Orlando Li was such a smart person. He knew that that fellow was even smarter than he thought! Ran Xusheng didn't dare to think about it anymore. He grabbed his clothes and prepared to go to the airport.
When he arrived at the garage, he realized that someone seemed to be waiting for him at the entrance. Abing-Liu Haibing? Ran Xusheng recognized the person and frowned for no reason." Why are you looking for me?”
"Are you working for the FBI now?”Abing didn't want to beat around the bush. Phantom had already hacked into the FBI's internal system. From the system, he found out that Ran Xusheng was actually a secret agent recruited by the FBI. He was in charge of Asian missions and his code name was Nighthawk.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Ran Xusheng was very impatient and signaled for Abing to move aside, otherwise he would not be polite to him. The hostility in his eyes let Abing know that this guy in front of him didn't like him. He didn't even want to pay attention to his words. He didn't care if he was a friend or a foe.
"I'm an undercover agent from Interpol, code name Black Rose!”Abing introduced himself. He knew that Nighthawk knew him, and Ran Xusheng was the killer Nighthawk who didn't expose him!
"You revealed your trump card too early. Aren't you afraid of dying an ugly death?”Ran Xusheng curled his lips and looked at Abing with a vicious gaze. He wanted to see Abing panic. " You won't…because you and I have a common enemy now!"”
Ran Xusheng knew what he meant. He looked at the time. If he remembered correctly, there were only two flights from Shanghai to Qing Dao this morning, at 9:30 and 10:30. Judging from the time she took to clean the room and buy food, she should have taken the later flight. But now, this troublesome fellow was standing in front of him!
"You know what? Ni Yuying is leaving. I'm going to chase after her. Orlando Li should be after her too!”Ran Xusheng said anxiously as he tried to push Abing away.
"I know." Abing suddenly laughed." My men are protecting her. Even if Orlando really noticed her, I can guarantee that he won't hurt her!”
From eavesdropping on the conversation between Wei and Bai Lu, Abing learned a little about the similarity between Ni Yuying and Xueche, as well as the special relationship between Xueche and Orlando…Bang! Ran Xusheng's ruthless punch was enough to make Abing stagger and retreat a few steps, giving Ran Xusheng a way to his car. Then, Abing heard the sound of a car starting up. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and dialed a number…
Ni Yuying stared at the mirror in the bathroom in a daze. He inadvertently realized that the girl in the mirror looked so pale. Was this him? Previously, her face was still rosy. Even if she occasionally had a few pimples, it was better than her current pale face…
At this moment, a girl with long hair stood beside Ni Yuying. She whistled leisurely as she slowly extended her slender and fair hands toward the flowing water…She really had a pair of hands that could play the piano. Ni Yuying could not help but stare at her with envy. At first glance, the girl's face was very small and her facial features were exquisite, but Ni Yuying felt a terrifying sense of deja vu. This feeling was very uncomfortable. It was as if trouble and danger were about to arrive. You had signs, but you had no clue. You were full of suspicion.
Ni Yuying shook her head, trying to get rid of this unpleasant feeling. She turned around and placed her hands under the dryer. The wind from the drying machine blew very slowly, and the atmosphere became strange in an instant. Ni Yuying turned around and saw that the beauty with long hair had disappeared. Her eyes were searching. She didn't believe that her speed could be faster than hers because she had inadvertently seen her wash her hands and take out a small makeup box in front of the mirror. Suddenly, a person approached her. Before she could react, a hand covered her mouth. Then, a handkerchief pressed against her nose. She knew that it was ether…As she was dizzy, she instinctively turned her head and grabbed her limbs. In her daze, she saw the smile of the beauty with long hair. Oh, no, how was that a beauty? That, that was actually a man…
The man took off his long hair, which was draped over his shoulders like an advertisement, revealing his buzz cut, but it did not match his fashionable female outfit. She was wearing a bat-shaped shirt, a bohemian dress that reached her ankles, and a pair of flat leather shoes. The man looked at the mirror and frowned slightly. Then, he did not care too much. He carried Ni Yuying and walked into a cubicle in the bathroom. A few minutes later, the man changed into the cleaner's uniform and carried Ni Yuying out. The girls walking around him did not notice anything strange. They usually only cared about what happened to them. Who would pay attention to other things, especially to an abnormal cleaner?
Through the safety passage, the man dragged Ni Yuying to the underground parking lot. In front of a Land Rover, the man stood still and took a breath. Suddenly, he heard someone pushing something hard against his back. Based on his touch, he felt that it was a replica of a 54 pistol that could only shoot BBB bullets. Many years ago, he was an expert in this and could assemble it himself. Without turning around, he smelled Anna Sui's perfume mixed with a faint gardenia fragrance. He already knew who it was.
"Bottle, put down the gun!" The man turned around. There was no fear on his face, but he looked a little cynical." You know, I'm the expert at this..." As he spoke, the man had already used an invisible move to take the gun from Bottle's hand back to his own. Looking at the slightly surprised Bottle, he looked disdainful." How old are you? You're still playing with this?" Why haven't you improved at all?"
" Snow, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to be so, so good…" Bottle tried to calm himself down. Among the four members of the Seventeen Roses, Snow was different. He was born into a martial arts family and had been spurred by his grandfather, who he called a fascist, to practice martial arts since he was young. However, the restless Snow liked to study machinery. He could disassemble some simple equipment, including guns. If he had the conditions, he would definitely be able to disassemble missiles and atomic bombs!
Bottle was once the only girl in the " Seventeen Roses." She was a third-degree black belt in Taekwondo and a fifth-degree Aikido. She used to be the girl he liked, but he also knew that he wasn't in her heart. Instead, it was Phantom.
Sure enough, a bullet accurately hit his hand and knocked out the fake pistol. The bottle caught the pistol that had slipped from Xue's hand. At this moment, the man in black who had shot the BB bullet had come to the Land Rover, as if he wanted to snatch Ni Yuying back from the unconscious car. At this moment, Snow had already gotten rid of the bottle. Her clone came to the front of the man in black and blocked his hand that was about to reach for the door of the Land Rover with one hand.
"Phantom, long time no see. You haven't improved much either!”As he teased, he saw Phantom, who was dressed in black sportswear and a black baseball cap, standing beside Bottle.
Holding the door of the Land Rover, Snow had a complicated look in her eyes." Phantom, Bottle, I don't want to be enemies with you. It's been so many years. I know that you all have your own lives. Why must you be summoned by Abing to reunite? What kind of boss was he? A fool who only wants to satisfy his own selfish desires and prove how smart he is…"
Phantom was eager to give it a try. He had already installed a tracking device on Snow's Land Rover, but he also knew that these small movements could not escape Snow's vigilant senses. He observed his surroundings, trying to use something to distract Snow so that he could take the opportunity to save her.
Snow seemed to have sensed the unusual silence as well. She smiled." Phantom, Bottle, don't waste your efforts. I have to take her away. This is my mission…We'll meet again!”As she spoke, Snow had already entered the driver's seat of the Land Rover. She started the car and crashed into Phantom and Bottle, who were standing opposite the car. Sure enough, the two of them parted to make way for the Land Rover, which roared as it left…
"What should we do?" Bottle was a little worried.
"I'm fine!" Phantom, however, seemed to have a plan in mind." Snow didn't notice the tracker I installed on his car. That way, we can track his location…Didn't you also put an invisible tracker on Little Rose?”
Bottle nodded. At this moment, the phone rang. It was Abing. After listening to Phantom and Bottle's report, Abing signaled for them to retreat. At this moment, Ran Xusheng also walked down from his Malasadi and rushed into the airport lobby like an arrow. He looked around for Ni Yuying's figure until he confirmed that Ni Yuying's name was not on the flight to Qing Dao. At this moment, the personal phone on his waist rang uneasily.
"Hello-"
"Nighthawk, your sweetheart is in my hands…You know what you should use in exchange. You should return the things you took that you shouldn't!”
Ran Xusheng frowned. The other party knew his identity very well, and it was not Orlando Lee! However, he couldn't rule out the possibility that he was Orlando Lee's subordinate.
"Where are you? How can I contact you?"
"Three days later, at the Fengxian District Wind Power Station dam, bring what we want and come alone!”On the other end of the phone, the man could be heard laughing lewdly." You only have three days. After three days, no one can guarantee the innocence of your sweetheart, understand? You're smart, I know, you know-"
" You're not allowed to touch her, and you're not allowed to have any ideas about her." Ran Xusheng lowered his voice because he saw the security guard staring at him warily. Suddenly, the phone was cut off.
Damn it! Ran Xusheng clenched his phone tightly.
