Life in siheyuan era

It was almost nine o'clock, and Shen Lan Yin's mood still couldn't calm down. There was a medical book on the table, but she couldn't bring herself to read a single word.

More than an hour had passed, but she still couldn't forget the exhilarating feeling of speed.

At that time, her head was covered with Zhou Zhiyuan's clothes, and her body swayed constantly with the movement of the bicycle. She could only hold Zhou Zhiyuan's waist tightly, leaning on his back to maintain balance.

But at that time, there was no feeling of fear, but instead a strange sense of excitement arose. Thinking of it now, her little heart was still pounding.

This feeling made her wonder, "What's wrong with me?" She couldn't understand it, but she was immersed in a kind of inexplicable little excitement.

She liked this feeling, and just as she was immersed in it, the door was gently pushed open. Chen Shuying came into the room to look at her and said worriedly, "Your brother hasn't come back yet."

Hearing Chen Shuying's words, Shen Lan Yin quickly restrained her thoughts and replied casually, "Didn't my brother say he was working overtime?"

"What kind of overtime does someone who manages the cafeteria work?"

Chen Shuying frowned and said, then sat on the chair next to her and asked in a low voice, "Don't you think it's strange? With your brother's personality, he suddenly decided to go to work in the logistics department of the Public Security Bureau. No matter how Mom thinks about it, it doesn't feel right."

"Didn't my brother explain it to you?"

Shen Lan Yin's reminder didn't reassure Chen Shuying. She still frowned and said in a low voice, "Mom mentioned this to your dad, and your dad said to respect your brother's decision, but Mom doesn't feel at ease. Ask Zhou Zhiyuan about it when you are with him."

Chen Shuying's arrangement made Shen Lan Yin nod in agreement, but she knew she wouldn't be able to get anything out of him. Zhou Zhiyuan was tight-lipped.

Thinking of his stubbornness, Shen Lan Yin gritted her teeth secretly, but Chen Shuying didn't know and continued to ask, "How are you and Zhou Zhiyuan getting along?"

Shen Lan Yin replied casually, "Pretty good."

Chen Shuying breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Hao Zhiwen is your colleague. Mom can't stop you from interacting with him, but during the interaction, you must be open and aboveboard. It's best to have someone by your side, often pulling Liu Junling or other colleagues to be with you, and try to avoid being alone, so as not to give people something to talk about."

Chen Shuying's words were realistic, and Shen Lan Yin replied helplessly, "I know, Mom."

Her apprehension towards that lady mostly stemmed from Chen Shuying's evaluation of her.

And Chen Shuying knew this, so she didn't mention it again, but instead said, "I've always been puzzled by your brother's attitude. His opinion of Hao Zhiwen is very bad. I don't know where it came from?"

Speaking of this, Shen Lan Yin was indignant and blurted out, "He asked Zhou Zhiyuan to investigate Hao Zhiwen, so naturally Zhou Zhiyuan said it."

That's what she thought, but Chen Shuying shook her head gently and replied in a deep voice, "I asked your brother, and he said that Zhou Zhiyuan's evaluation of Hao Zhiwen was 'selfish, arrogant, and looks down on people.' Other than that, he didn't say anything else. It's just that he has a bad impression of Hao Zhiwen."

Shen Lan Yin had a reason for Chen Shuying's words, "Brother is biased towards Zhou Zhiyuan."

But Chen Shuying retorted, "In your marriage, is your brother biased towards you or towards Zhou Zhiyuan? Your brother wouldn't harm you. And your dad also confirmed Zhou Zhiyuan after a detailed investigation. He is more reliable in terms of character."

On this point, Shen Lan Yin had nothing to say. Zhou Zhiyuan was extremely loyal in his youth, willing to go through thick and thin for his friends.

And Shen Jue believed that Zhou Zhiyuan would not betray the Shen family, not to mention Shen Lanbo. Chen Shuying was deeply influenced by Shen Jue and Shen Lanbo, and even Shen Lan Yin had confidence.

But she was unwilling. Zhou Zhiyuan's education was only high school, while she was a college student. There was a gap between the two in terms of education level.

And there was also a gap between the two in terms of family background. His parents were just ordinary workers, while Hao Zhiwen's parents were university lecturers.

The cultural atmosphere of a worker's family was far less rich than that of a university lecturer's family, and she liked the cultural atmosphere.

Comparing the two, Zhou Zhiyuan was indeed not as advantageous as Hao Zhiwen.

But she had no choice at this time and could only wait until she got through the difficult time.

While Shen Lan Yin had no choice here, Shen Lanbo also had no choice in this small room in the high-rise building, and said in a deep voice, "We must destroy their coordinates as soon as possible, and we cannot let these alien objects enter the city."

Shen Lanbo was sure that there was something hidden in this building, and this thing was the key to the establishment of the closed passage. Destroying this thing was the top priority.

Zhou Zhiyuan agreed with his opinion, raised his left hand, and gently tapped his wrist, indicating his agreement.

He had changed into clean clothes at this time, lying on the bed, just wanting to recover his strength as soon as possible, and didn't have the strength to speak.

And Shen Lanbo could continue speaking when he saw this gesture, "You stay here, I'll take a trip to Fangshan to see if the two can be connected."

Hearing his plan, Zhou Zhiyuan couldn't help but speak, saying weakly, "I advise you not to go. The survey team will leave the day after tomorrow. If they can survey anything, it won't be the alien objects you're talking about. You should think about why they want to assassinate me?"

Hearing this question, Shen Lanbo turned to look at the skeleton and turned his head back to say, "The ideas of alien objects cannot be considered with our thinking. You don't agree with the statement that Black Cat wants to kill you..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, pondered for a while, and said in a low voice, "Let's sort it out from the beginning. Liu Wenxiang heard the loud noise, and the next morning he found the mutton fat jade, and you got the copper ball from Hu Biao..."

Speaking of this, he paused again for a while and continued, "Now we know that three things appeared in this loud noise: mutton fat jade, copper ball, and coordinates. Assuming the coordinates were deliberately thrown out by them, and the mutton fat jade was just bait..."

This was a deduction, and seeing that Zhou Zhiyuan didn't speak, Shen Lanbo said in a deep voice, "They don't want to retrieve the coordinates. What Black Cat came to find was this copper ball, and you just happened to be there."

"If this assumption is true, it can be inferred that there was a struggle within them. The Black Cat faction is in a passive state, and the other faction came to assassinate you."

Shen Lanbo's analysis was reasonable, and Zhou Zhiyuan could only sigh, "Am I so unlucky?"

He sighed, but Shen Lanbo didn't care whether he was unlucky or not, and looked at the skeleton again, saying in a low voice, "We must turn everything upside down and find the coordinates before next Saturday and report it to the political commissar immediately when he comes back."

"I didn't stop you," Zhou Zhiyuan said weakly.

Then he said, "This mission is very dangerous, and the possibility of no return is very high. Let me help Comrade Shen Lan Yin solve the problem before doing it."

Mentioning this question, Shen Lanbo was interested and asked in a low voice, "How to solve it?"

Zhou Zhiyuan replied weakly, "Substituting one thing for another."

"Absolutely impossible..." Shen Lanbo roared, "Hao Zhiwen is a traitor..."

Speaking of this, he paused, and seeing Zhou Zhiyuan cast a suspicious look, he immediately said, "He looks like a traitor at first glance. I only believe you."

"You don't need to think so much. It's impossible for only the two of us to enter the passage. A small elite force will rush in and quickly control the situation."

Speaking of this, Shen Lanbo suddenly glared and shouted in a low voice, "It's impossible for you not to understand. Do you want to take this opportunity to dump Lan Yin and go find Han Xue?"

This sudden turn made Zhou Zhiyuan exclaim in surprise, "What does Han Xue have to do with it?"

"Lan Yin said you are very affectionate with Han Xue."

"That's her excuse to dump me."

The two argued because of Han Xue, and at this time, Han Xue waved to Li Bo and turned to walk into her house.

Because of avoiding the rain, Han Xue didn't come back until after ten o'clock. After entering the house, she was changing clothes when Liu Lanying opened the door and walked in, hesitating for a moment before saying in a low voice, "Just now, there was a strange sound in the corridor, intermittent."

Hearing Liu Lanying's words, Han Xue frowned and asked strangely, "What do you mean by a strange sound?"

"How should I say it?" Liu Lanying thought carefully and described, "It sounds like the sound of bones breaking, making a cracking sound, and then someone is dragging a hard object in the corridor, making a sharp friction sound."

Her description made Han Xue confused, not knowing what could make such a sound. After thinking carefully, she suddenly asked, "When did this sound occur?"

"Around eight thirty to nine o'clock." Liu Lanying looked at the time and remembered it clearly.

And Han Xue muttered, "Saturday, around eight thirty to nine o'clock..." Speaking of this, she suddenly picked up her clothes and put them on.

Liu Lanying asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to take a look." Han Xue put on her clothes and walked out.

And Liu Lanying grabbed her and shouted, "Old Han, Xiaoxue wants to go take a look."

Hearing Liu Lanying's shout, Han Yuanzhi rushed in and roared, "You're not allowed to go anywhere."

And at this time, a truck silently slid to the front of the building and stopped. Zhang Limin jumped out of the passenger seat, came to the back of the car and waved, and a group of agile figures jumped out of the carriage and ran into the building under Zhang Limin's leadership.
