mysterious forerunner

Chapter 14 Veteran
Zhang Qingxiang stood up and opened the door. Ye Yousheng was wearing a white shirt on his upper body and a long three-color silk scarf from a luxury brand on his collar.

The lower body is a knee-length student skirt, revealing a long and slender calf. On the feet are a pair of flat-heeled patent leather boots.

Her long, straight hair was simply tied into a ponytail, her hands were pressed in front of her body, and she didn't apply makeup. Her face was full of collagen, and she looked smart, smart, and youthful.

Comrade Ye Shumin stuck her head out from behind her son and caught his eye at first sight.

Zhang Qingxiang came out first and closed the door, making a three-part agreement: "Let's agree first that we will go home after eating before eight o'clock."

"Yeah!" Ye Yousheng nodded vigorously.

Zhang Qingxiang turned around: "Come in."

The old mother's face was full of smiles: "Welcome, come in! Our Qingxiang has never brought a girl back before..."

Zhang Qingxiang wanted to explain, but felt that any mother would be "unreasonable" in this situation, so he gave up the struggle and gave Ye Yousheng a pair of bowls and chopsticks: "Eat quickly."

The family status of Zhang Qingxiang and his son dropped sharply, and Ye Shumin gave all the delicious food to Ye Yousheng.

Ye Yousheng declined: "Oh, Auntie, I can't finish eating."

In the end they were all eaten.

After finishing the meal, Zhang Qingxiang winked at Ye Yousheng, it was time to go!
Ye Yousheng turned a blind eye and took the initiative to help Ye Shumin wash the dishes.

Ye Shumin forced her to go to the living room to have a drink, pointed at Zhang Qingxiang, and ordered domineeringly: "Wash the dishes."

Ye Yousheng chatted with Ye Shumin, and answered all Ye Shumin's questions truthfully and truthfully, including her age, family, school and other aspects.

But Ye Yousheng's eyes looked towards the kitchen from time to time.

She wanted to confirm that Zhang Qingxiang was still there to constantly replenish her lack of sense of security.

Ye Shumin's only concern is that this girl is still a high school student, so she is a bit young.

But for such a beautiful girl, I might not be able to make it in time if I don’t book in advance.

Zhang Qingxiang finished washing the dishes slowly, then came out and pointed to Ye Yousheng's wrist behind his mother's back, indicating that the time was up.

Ye Yousheng was reluctant to leave, but stood up to say goodbye: "Auntie, thank you for your hospitality. It's getting late, I have to go home..."

"Ah...it's only eight o'clock. It's not too late or not. Let's sit with Auntie for a while."

Of course Ye Yousheng didn't want to leave. It would be best if he could sleep here tonight.

Zhang Qingxiang stared behind his mother and pointed at the door.

Ye Yousheng could only say aggrievedly: "My dad will be worried if I go back too late."

"That's it, that's good. Come and play often in the future. Auntie will make you whatever you want to eat..."

"Yeah, really? That's great. I'll thank Auntie in advance."

"Of course it's true, you must come often, giggle... Qingxiang, please send Xiaoye a favor." The old mother let out a series of silver gong-like laughter and sent Ye Yousheng into the elevator.

Then he pushed the reluctant Zhang Qingxiang in with all his strength.

The elevator door closed, leaving only the two of them.

When he thought that his mother would strictly question him next, and all the questions would revolve around Ye Yousheng, Zhang Qingxiang felt too tired to speak.

There was silence in the car, and the number of floors continued to decrease.

After descending four or five floors, Ye Yousheng suddenly walked up to Zhang Qingxiang and bowed solemnly to apologize: "I'm sorry, Brother Qingxiang."

"Causing you trouble."

"I was really trying not to do it...but I was too scared."

"Please believe that I will overcome it as soon as possible."

Her cautious appearance made Zhang Qingxiang feel soft. The experience of that night gave the girl a strong stress reaction.

"It's nothing." Zhang Qingxiang smiled: "If you need anything in the future, just call me. Since I saved you, of course I will save you to the end."

Ye Yousheng pursed her lips and said in a voice that almost only she could hear: "I will definitely repay you."

Zhang Qingxiang sent Ye Yousheng to the car parked downstairs.

The moment the car window was raised, even though there were two bodyguards in the car, Ye Yousheng suddenly shrank into a ball, holding the eyebrow trimming scissors tightly in his hand, and his delicate body kept shaking.

……

When Zhang Qingxiang came back from seeing people off, he happened to meet his father going out with a solemn expression.

"Dad, you want to go out?"

"Yeah." Zhang Ruiqian agreed absentmindedly and left.

Ye Shumin seemed to realize something and was not in the mood to gossip about her son's "romance." She came to the window worriedly. After a while, she saw her husband coming downstairs and disappearing into the night.

"mom?"

Ye Shumin crossed her arms and said softly: "Your dad just answered the phone..."

Zhang Qingxiang's heart moved: Here we come! Zhang Qingxiang pretended to look at his mobile phone: "Mom, my classmate has something to do with me. I will go back to school tonight."

Ye Shumin waved her hand: "Go."

Zhang Qingxiang left the house and did not take the elevator. Instead, he opened a window in the corridor and jumped out. He activated [Creep Foot] and used the two opposite exterior walls to flash and jump, and reached the downstairs in less than three seconds.

When Zhang Qingxiang chased him to the gate of the community, he happened to see his father getting into a black car parked in the shadows on the roadside.

It's a special license plate - there's no mistaking it.

Zhang Qingxiang thought for a moment, stopped a taxi and went straight to the secret room shop.

Outside the "Lingwei Secret Room", Zhang Qingxiang found a coffee shop upstairs opposite, ordered a cup of handmade coffee and waited quietly.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhang Qingxiang's hand holding the spoon to stir the coffee paused slightly.

In the secret room opposite, a mysterious scene descended.

About twenty minutes later, two commercial vehicles parked downstairs, and Zhang Ruiqian arrived with his team members.

They discussed briefly downstairs and then divided into two teams. One team took the elevator and the other took the stairs to go upstairs.

Zhang Qingxiang couldn't help but be impulsive and wanted to follow him to ensure his father's safety.

But he held back.

Zhang Qingxiang picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, without tasting anything at all.

Then he smiled self-deprecatingly and said in his heart: "I have done everything I have to do. It's time to let go and let the old father fly."

A large team of people from the Public Security Bureau arrived five minutes later, sealed off the building where the "Lingwei Secret Room" was located, and evacuated the irrelevant people inside.

Thirty-seven minutes later, Zhang Ruiqian walked out with the players.

Several team members were injured, but no one died.

The young team members followed Zhang Ruiqian closely along the way, not daring to take a step forward; they were full of admiration for the team leader they had just met:
"If there is no team leader tonight, we will all have to stay inside!"

"Team leader, you are amazing! How did you know that... was actually an illusion?"

"Team leader, that's hard power, okay? With that punch, a hole was made in the concrete load-bearing wall..."

"Team leader, team leader, I will only follow you when I go on missions from now on. Be safe!"

Zhang Ruiqian has a big, square face, is solemn and indifferent, and has a natural leadership temperament.

In fact, I felt panicked and confused.

"Why is it exactly the same as what was written in Qing Xiang's novel!?"

"Is it a coincidence, or..."

Zhang Ruiqian didn't dare to think about it anymore and wanted to fly back immediately to question his son.

But he can't. Tonight is the first operation of the "Secret Case Team", and there is still a lot of finishing work.

"Close the team!"

"Xiao Chen and Xiao Wu, you two will work overtime and go back and finish the mission report this time."

The two female team members who were named by Zhang Ruiqian did not complain at all and simply answered "yes".

They looked at the team leader with little stars in their eyes.

Two hours later, the finishing work was completed, and Zhang Ruiqian had another idea: Should he tell his son about this "coincidence"?

The arrival of the mysterious scene is still a secret to the public.

If his son was really just writing nonsense, he would have leaked the secret.

"I can only test it secretly."

Zhang Ruiqian returned home and his wife was already asleep. He did not disturb her and lay down on her side to sleep.

After turning off the lights, Zhang Ruiqian lay flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes as big as copper bells.

In the years since he retired, he has had a happy family and a happy life.

But there is always a feeling of emptiness...that something is missing.

Tonight's action made him feel as if he had returned to the passionate days of the military camp. Zhang Ruiqian knew that this position would be very dangerous in the future.

But every cell in his body couldn't refuse!

Zhang Ruiqian's cerebral cortex was extremely excited. His son's novel, tonight's mission, his sudden super power... so many things were entangled together that he couldn't figure it out for a while.

But there is no doubt that life and career have ushered in a second spring.

He quietly got up again, found the old military uniform from the bottom of the storage room, hung it in front of him and looked at it for a long time, muttering to himself in the dark:
"A veteran is always a warrior!"
