Chapter 168 The Breaking of Darkness and the Bloody Battle of Sea Salt
"Ding dong!"

The door was opened, Zhang Xinxin poked her head out with joy, and smiled sweetly at 11: "Brother Chu Yuan, you are here."

"Hmm." Although a birthday is something to be happy about, Eleven's face is still plain without any variegated colors.Or he wants to laugh too, but there is nothing in his memory that is worthy of his joy. His whole life is in the role of killing and being hunted, endless chasing, too many people died around him, There were so many that he was numb, but there was not a single memory worth making him smile, not a single one.

Zhang Xinxin didn't mind 11's performance, and spread a hand towards him with a smile.

11 asked, "What?"

"A gift." Zhang Xinxin said with her lovely eyes wide open, "Don't tell me, you didn't buy me a birthday present, did you?"

11 spread his empty hands and said, "I didn't buy it."

"..." Zhang Xinxin really lost his temper. 11's personality is just like his expression, very flat, as if he doesn't care about anything.Fortunately, she didn't have much hope at first, so she turned sideways to get half of the door and said, "Come in quickly, my father and mother are waiting for you."

As she spoke, she was about to reach out to pull 11's arm, 11 instinctively took a small step back, and immediately realized that Zhang Xinxin was not trying to attack him, so she forcibly stopped the idea of ​​throwing her out.

Zhang Xinxin didn't know that she was about to be thrown just now, her nose was bruised and her face was swollen. With a sweet smile on her face, she took 11's arm and led him into the living room.

Chu Fan just came out of the kitchen with a plate of steaming dishes. When he saw 11, he smiled and said, "Chu Yuan, you are here. Come and sit down quickly, and try my aunt's cooking."

Zhang Xinxin also smiled and said: "My mother's craftsmanship is amazing, but I can't taste it when I'm not at home. Brother Chu Yuan, today is thanks to you."

11 nodded his head with a flat face, and his eyes fell on the kitchen.Chu Fan's husband is also Zhang Xinxin's father, and Zhang Zhengyu also came out with a plate of dishes. His eyes fell on 11, and he nodded kindly to him with a smile.

11 also nodded in return. He met Zhang Zhengyu once, and that time they passed by the elevator outside the door.

"Come." Chu Fan put the dishes on the dining table and greeted him, "Chu Yuan, come and sit down."

Zhang Xinxin pulled him to the table, pressed him to sit down, and sat next to 11 himself.

Zhang Zhengyu set up the dishes and asked, "Chu Yuan, what wine do you want?"

11 replied flatly, "I don't drink alcohol."

Zhang Xinxin rushed to ask, "What about the drink?"

11 shook his head lightly and said, "Water."

For 11's weirdness, Zhang Xinxin seemed to have gotten used to it, so she didn't ask any more questions, turned around and poured a glass of water for him.

The dishes were quickly served, and Zhang Zhengyu finally brought a box of cakes, lit birthday candles, and then turned off the lights.The dim candlelight shone on everyone's face, looking very warm.The whole family gathered around the table and sang together: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." Only 11 of the four did not sing. It's not that he doesn't know how to sing this song, but he doesn't want to sing it. , in his opinion, this is boring.He was watching quietly, looking at the happiness on Zhang Xinxin's face.

Since I can remember, 11 has never had a birthday. What is it like to have a birthday?He didn't know it, and he couldn't experience it.Seeing the happy appearance of this family at this moment, he was quite touched.

The candlelight shone on Zhang Xinxin's beautiful face. I don't know if it was because of the light or because she was really happy at the moment. Her face was red and simple, very cute.

After singing "Happy Birthday", Zhang Xinxin clasped her palms together and silently made a wish, and then blew out the candle in one breath.

Amidst the cheering applause, Zhang Zhengyu turned on the lights again and temporarily removed the cake, then raised his glass and said, "Come on, I wish Xiao Xinxin a happy birthday, come and have a toast."

The four cups touched each other, and 11 also took a symbolic sip.

Chu Fan put two chicken legs into Zhang Xinxin's and 11's bowls respectively, and said, "Chu Yuan, come, have a chicken leg."

"Oh." 11 grabbed the chicken leg and gnawed it all over.To be honest, 11's eating looks really ugly, but he doesn't care, he always thinks that time is the most important thing, if you have that time to eat slowly, it's better to finish eating quickly to deal with the next battle.Fortunately, Chu Fan's family didn't mind, and Zhang Xinxin even tore the chicken with his teeth in small mouthfuls, while watching 11 gobble it up with interest.

Maybe because the atmosphere became quieter, Chu Fan said, "Xinxin, what wish did you just make?"

Zhang Xinxin sniffled and said, "I can't tell you this, it won't work if I tell you."

"There is no such thing, the wish is to make two wishes, one to be announced, and the other to be hidden in the heart, right?"

Zhang Xinxin wondered: "Hey, mom, how do you understand this?"

Zhang Zhengyu laughed and said, "Do you think your mother can't keep up with the times? Tell me, which wish do you want to announce?"

Zhang Xinxin smiled and said, "Okay, let me tell you." After thinking for a while, she said, "I wish my parents and brother Chu Yuan good health and a happy life."

Zhang Zhengyu laughed loudly and said, "I really didn't hurt you for nothing."

11 glanced sideways at Zhang Xinxin, then moved back to the bowl, lowered his head and continued eating.

Chu Fan asked, "What's another wish?"

Zhang Xinxin said vigilantly: "You can't say this anymore, it won't work if you say it."

Zhang Zhengyu laughed and said, "Isn't it because you want to find a husband to marry off?"

Zhang Xinxin pretended to be fierce and said: "Dad, you talk nonsense."

Chu Fan also rolled his eyes at him, and blamed him: "My daughter is not that old yet, so don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Zhengyu laughed loudly and said, "Just kidding, Xinxin is one year older today, I'm so happy, haha."

The whole family was talking and laughing while eating the food on the table. During this period, only 11 did not speak or show any performance, which was a bit out of tune with this happy atmosphere.When Chu Fan and the others talked to him, at most it was just "um", and "oh" meant an answer.

Halfway through the dinner table, Zhang Zhengyu suddenly said, "By the way, Chu Yuan, are you interested in coming to our company? I can talk to the manager and arrange a job for you."

11 looked up at him, and said lightly, "I'm not interested."

Chu Fan also persuaded: "Chu Yuan, let's find a serious job. I'm worried about you too."

11 responded lightly: "Oh."

Zhang Xinxin blinked her eyes, and interjected curiously: "That's right, I still don't know what Brother Chu Yuan does?"

Chu Fan glared at her and said, "Kid, don't interrupt me."

Zhang Xinxin cried out dissatisfied, "I don't have it."

Zhang Zhengyu hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Chu Yuan, if you are interested in any time, you can come to me at any time."

"Oh." Eleven drank all the water in the glass in one gulp, put down the empty glass and said, "I've finished eating, let's go first." As he spoke, he was about to get up.

Zhang Zhengyu hurriedly shouted: "Hey, why did you leave so quickly, sit down for a while."

Chu Fan also said: "That's right, Chu Yuan, you just came, why did you leave so soon. Sit for a while, and wait for Auntie to clean up, and then you can have a good chat with Auntie."

Zhang Zhengyu said: "I'll clean it up, you guys talk."

Zhang Xinxin didn't speak, just tugged at the corner of 11's clothes, and then looked at him with pitiful eyes.

Chu Fan said: "How about this, it's your first time here, let Xinxin take you to the room, okay? It's a rare time for you to come, so don't rush to leave."

Zhang Xinxin also nodded vigorously and said, "That's right, Brother Chu Yuan. Go sit in my room, okay?"

Despite the family's kindness, 11 was finally pulled into her room by Zhang Xinxin.

Zhang Xinxin's room is not big, but it is very warmly furnished. The walls on all sides are painted light pink, the quilt on a small bed is light green, and the table top and floor are wiped spotlessly. A very comfortable feeling.

The girl's room is just different, it's far from being able to compare with 11's and theirs' den. Compared with this room, the three big men's house is like a dog's den. There are garbage everywhere and no one cleans it up.Among the bedrooms of the three, only room 11 is considered clean, except for the messy pile of clothes, there is nothing obtrusive.

It may be due to the girl's nature that Zhang Xinxin likes toy pets very much. There is a big plush toy bear on the bed, and a plush pig and rabbit on the table.Other than that, there are shelves full of books and a computer.

The first thing after 11 came in was to habitually observe the layout of the house, and then went to the window to look outside.

Zhang Xinxin walked up to him and asked, "Is the night view here good?"

"Well."

Zhang Xinxin turned around to look at the closed door, and then whispered, "Brother Chu Yuan, are you a gangster?"

11 turned around and walked to the computer, tapped the keyboard, and said, "No."

Zhang Xinxin smiled and said: "Then I'm relieved. Do you know that the underworld is so scary. The last time there was a gun battle in our house, I found out later that it was a stronghold of the underworld, and that time it was a big fight for revenge. .Also, just yesterday, a big fire broke out in Haiyan City. The police suspected that someone set the fire on purpose, because a large number of traces of gasoline were found at the scene..."

11 turned around and asked, "Sea salt?"

"Yeah, you don't even know? It's been reported in the news, and there's also a lot of talk about it on the Internet."

As if to prove that she wasn't lying, Zhang Xinxin turned on the computer, opened the web page and entered a string of addresses and said, "Look, I didn't lie to you."

This is a news website. On the homepage, there is a line of eye-catching characters: The underworld seeks revenge and burns down the houses.

Use the mouse to enter this link page, and a piece of news immediately pops up: On XX, XX, a huge fire broke out in Haiyan City. Three people were burned to death on the spot and seven people were burned, two of whom were severely burned. They were still being rescued until the time of writing.The police found traces of a large amount of gasoline at the scene, and it is suspected that someone deliberately set the fire...

11 pulled the scroll bar and looked down. When he saw the fire site, his expression changed slightly.Because the place where the fire caught fire was the building where Ruan Qingyu lived.How could it be such a coincidence?As soon as he left, the place was set on fire. The only possibility was the three gangsters. It seemed that the backers behind the three of them were not simple.

Zhang Xinxin didn't know what 11 was thinking at this time, and said from the side: "Look, the underworld is so scary now, it can do anything." She secretly observed 11's expression while she was talking, but she was No expression can be seen on Eleven's face.

11 let out a faint "Oh" and asked, "Is there any room to look at?"

"Huh?" Zhang Xinxin froze for a moment.

"If not, I'll go first."

Zhang Xinxin immediately said with a disappointed face: "Ah, brother Chu Yuan, why are you leaving again? Did I say something wrong to make you unhappy?"

"No." After a pause, 11 added: "I'm not used to it." Then he turned and opened the door and went out.

Chu Fan was walking over with a plate of fruit, when he saw 11 come out he smiled and said, "Hey, Chu Yuan, come and eat some fruit."

"No need." Eleven walked up to her and said, "I'm leaving."

Chu Fan looked at Zhang Xinxin inquiringly, and Zhang Xinxin shook his head blankly.

Chu Fan put down the fruit and said, "Why did you leave so soon? Sit down and chat with my aunt."

"No, I have something to do."

"That's it." Regarding 11's insistence, Chu Fan did not continue to persuade him, and said, "Well, remember to come and sit more when you have time, we are all a family."

"Oh." Zhang Zhengyu nodded when he came out of the kitchen at 11 Chao, and then walked outside.Chu Fan's family sent him outside the door, and when the elevator door was about to close, they still told him to come and sit more when he had time.

11 walked out of the building and sat in his car, immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a series of numbers.This is the contact number Fat Duck left him. 11 didn't remember it carefully at the time, but his memory is really good. He only heard it once at the time, and he can still remember it clearly after such a long time.

Sure enough, a moment later, Fat Duck's voice came from the phone: "Who is it?" His voice was a little lazy, and he might still be sleeping.

11 said lightly, "It's me."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then Fat Duck said in a somewhat uncertain tone, "Boss, is that you?"

"Ah."

"Wow! Boss, it's really you. Wow, you finally found me."

"Help me do something."

Fat Duck said happily: "Okay, okay. Boss, tell me, don't say one thing, ten things will be fine."

"Do you know about the arson case in Haiyan City yesterday?"

The Fat Duck immediately said, "I know."

"Help me find out who did it. Also, there are three gangsters in Haiyan, two of whom are called Pheasant and Mouse. Find out about them and that organization."

Fat Duck patted his chest and shouted: "It's no problem, there will be news soon." Then he whispered: "Boss, do you want to do something? Can you let me go with you?"

11 thought for a while and said, "Okay."

"Yeah! Boss, long live! Boss, wait for me, there must be news within two hours at most!"

After 11 hung up the phone, he stepped on the accelerator and quickly drove to the Dark Cross base camp.It's not that he doesn't want to find frenzy, but frenzy is not a panacea.Sometimes, it would be faster to go directly to the people in the underworld for information about the underworld, so he immediately thought of Fat Duck.

Back at the villa, Leng Ye and the monkey hadn't come back yet. 11 went straight into the storage room, and selected an assault rifle and a submachine gun from a pile of firearms, together with a large number of bullets and a few grenades.He went back to his room, took two pistols and loaded them.

At this time, his mobile phone rang.

11 took out the mobile phone and looked at it. The name "Zhang Xinxin" was displayed on it.He picked up the phone and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Xinxin's voice came from the phone: "Brother Chu Yuan, are you home yet?"

"Ah."

"I'm sorry, Brother Chu Yuan."

"what?"

"Did I make you angry?"

11 said while doing the final inspection, "No."

"Really not angry?"

"I am not angry."

"Then when will you come to my house again?"

11 packed all the guns into a travel bag and said, "Let's talk."

"No, you do this every time..."

At this time, a call was connected to the 11 mobile phone.He looked at the number and saw that it was Fat Duck calling, and said, "I have something to do, so let's do this first." After speaking, regardless of Zhang Xinxin's reaction, he directly switched to Fat Duck's line and said, "How is it?"

"Boss, I asked through the brothers on the road. The pheasant died suddenly yesterday morning. He and the mouse are both members of the Sha Gang."

"Sand Gang?"

"Yes, this sand gang has a lot of influence in Haiyan City. But there is no clue for the arson case you mentioned, and no one knows who did it."

"Got it, do you know where the headquarters of the Sand Gang is?"

"This, I don't know."

"Half an hour later, the parking lot where we met for the first time."

Fat Duck was stunned for a moment, and immediately cheered: "Wow! Thank you boss! I'll wait for you right away."

11 hangs up the phone, walks to the living room, and calls Mad Tide on the satellite phone.

"what's up?"

"Frenzy, check the headquarters of the Sand Gang in Haiyan City."

"Haiyan? You won't tell me that the arson case in Haiyan yesterday is related to you?"

"Maybe." After a pause, 11 said again: "Look for it right away."

"Okay, what about you?"

"I'm going to Haiyan."

"When?"

"Now."

"Do you want to notify Leng Ye and Monkey?"

11 said lightly: "No need."

"Okay, take the communicator and keep in touch."

"Oh." After 11 hung up the phone, he drove away from the villa with his travel bag.
