Longmen Memoirs

Chen can probably guess what his job was before running this small store.

"Speaking of which, haven't you seen Brother Chen for several years?" The shop owner put the fried dumplings on the table and took back his hand: "He hasn't come back yet."

"Probably he won't come back. He has gone far away."

"No contact?"

"It's been a long time."

"Alas, this person always loses contact with him, and has no news from now on." The shop owner sighed, and the fox looked at Chen who was sitting next to him.

She nodded.

"Who said no."

Chen had a cold face and said nothing.

She could tell that the fox had no good intentions. The store manager didn't say anything anymore. He was busy quietly in the back kitchen. It was obvious that the two of them had something to talk about.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Chen's eyes fell on the portfolio that Fox placed on the counter, and then looked at her face.

The fox put down the wooden chopsticks in his hand.

She reached out to take the wine and wine glass that the owner had warmed, and set aside the dishes on the table. The warm wine was poured into the glass, with a faint aroma of wine, and the fox pushed the wine glass to Chen's side.

"Taste it." Fox said. She put down the wine bottle, picked up her wine glass and took a sip, squinting slightly.

Chen made no move.

"Afraid of what I might do?" Fox asked, raising his chin.

Chen breathed out lightly, drank all the wine in his glass, and then picked up another pot of warm wine and filled it up.

"It can be said now."

"Tsk, they really have exactly the same character." The fox sighed.

"Who are you talking about?"

The wine in the glass had a light amber color, with a slight sweetness mixed with the aroma of osmanthus. It was warm but not intoxicating. Chen didn't hate this taste. Rather, she liked it very much.

She likes the style of this small shop. It is located in a deep alley and the night is cold with few people. It is very similar to the picture she has imagined before, with a pot of wine and a sword, traveling across mountains and rivers, doing chivalry.

She could not help but imagine this kind of life, sleeping in the breeze in the morning and enjoying the sunset at night.

Thinking about Chen like this, she unknowingly filled up another glass of wine. She felt a little unhappy, unhappy about what happened today, unhappy about the people she met, whether it was Walper in front of her or her Commander Fedia. .

"Don't drink it too fast. This kind of wine has a lot of staying power. I don't want to send you back later."

"I don't need you to remind me."

"forget it."

"What happened today and why are you here?"

"Didn't I explain it before? The chief of the inspection team entrusted the action team to assist them. She can't trust other departments in Longmen, and you are the best reason for us to intervene in this matter."

"That's it?" Chen looked at the fox suspiciously, she believed [~

"Then let's be clear. Your chief intends to use your identity to recruit Chief Wei as a backer. These bad things in Xiacheng District involve the Commercial Committee. Do you know how many illegal activities there are in Longmen Xiacheng District?"

The fox turned the wine glass in his hand and smiled: "The profits from these businesses alone are a huge sum. Before you came back a few years ago, something happened to Longmen."

"I've heard of it."

"Then you also know that since that incident, the gangs and businesses in Xiacheng District have been much depressed, and now they have emerged again, wanting to test Chief Wei's attitude towards this matter." The fox looked at Chen: " The new leader of the inspection team is a smart person, and she sees this, but she can’t trust the Guards Bureau, so she uses your identity to make Commander Wei’s attitude clear."

"..."

Chen was silent, looking at the fox who said these words, without answering.

"Can't believe me?"

"Why tell me this?"

why.

In fact, the fox himself couldn't tell clearly. What he insisted on saying was probably because someone kept nagging some unpleasant words in his ears before leaving, which finally made the fox happy.

"Even if I don't tell you, you can imagine it."

"One more question, what is the action group?"

"The full name is the Longmen Guards Bureau Special Operations Team. It is responsible for the security of important personnel, facilities and confidential matters in Longmen. It is also responsible for handling certain confidential tasks involving Longmen security. It is independent of the Guards Bureau and is a special mobile department directly under the jurisdiction of the Governor-General of Longmen. "

"Who is in charge?"

"I."

Even if he could guess the answer, Chen was still a little stunned after hearing the fox's admission.

"Your commander took advantage of you. Well, it can't be said to be use. He just used a more appropriate method to protect you from the impact of disputes after getting involved in this matter. At least from now on, no one will pay attention to you again. What did you do in this matter?" said the fox.

Chen lowered her fingers and clenched them tightly. She couldn't deny what the fox said. She just felt helpless, helpless and powerless. She wanted to do something, but in this Longmen City, she was a soft-spoken person and there were too many obstacles.

"Are you very unhappy?"

"Should I accept it with peace of mind?" Chen asked.

"Oh, that's not a bad tone, Chen Huijie, but there are a lot of things like this in this city. The big shots weigh the pros and cons, and few of them care about the life and death of the people below. Let's just talk about the Guards Bureau. You know what's going on in the Guards Bureau? How many police officers are involved with Xiacheng District?" Fox asked: "The answer is many. Longmen has become bigger and more prosperous in recent years. People have to find a way out when they live here. You can't just rely on being close to the Health Bureau. The stipend feeds everyone.”

"Hey, I'm not as naive as you think."

"Well... I heard someone say something before, and it was about people like us." Fox said, leaning on the table with a wine glass in her hand.

"A good official is not necessarily a good person, and a good person may not be a good official. Do you know what the difference is? Miss Chen, the difference is whether you can do things and whether you can accomplish them."

Fox said, pointing at himself.

"In your eyes, am I a good person?"

"What do you say to yourself?"

"I don't think so, but I think police officers should be good people, at least not too bad, but that's not the case." The fox said, "So I may not be a good person, but I have to deal with good people like you. The mess we made.”

"What do you mean?!"

"One day, you can become the director of the Guards Bureau. If your ideas have not changed by then, you will just be qualified to talk about what this city is doing." The fox said: "And now Before that, you must first learn the rules of this kind of city. Longmen is big, but also very small. There are many people in this city staring at you. Whether you want to admit it or not, the connection between you and Chief Wei will be It affects your situation in Longmen."

Chen didn't answer.

"I remember what I said before, you are different from people like us, but in Longmen, there are good and bad."

"You're teaching me a lesson." Chen said coldly. She looked at the fox opposite, and the fox saw anger in her eyes.

"How dare I."

The fox shook his head: "To be honest, I envy you. You have a good background, an uncle who is a city lord, and a bright future [+$

Her words were calm, but Chen felt they were so harsh and full of sarcasm.

But she had no way to refute, because everything the fox said was true. But the more this happened, the more disgusted Chen became, as if everything she did was because of Wei Yanwu, as if she would have accomplished nothing in this Longmen City without Wei Yanwu.

Chen's mind was a little confused, perhaps because the energy of the warm wine came to her, and she no longer cared about her words.

"exactly."

Chen suddenly smiled. She didn't look at the fox anymore, but stared at the wine glass on her table and leaned against the table.

The smile fell silent, and her mind was in a trance as she looked at the amber wine.

"I used to wonder, if it weren't for Wei Yanwu, would I have been able to live so smoothly? I don't deny it and I can't deny it. In fact, compared to many people, my life is smooth enough. When I want to do something, at least I still have the ability to do it. That way, when an idea pops into my head, I’m more than likely to make it happen.”

Chen said, she lowered her gaze and glanced at Chi Xiao who was sitting aside.

"If...he wasn't my uncle, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter this city, let alone join the Guards Bureau. Earlier, from childhood to adulthood, the things he taught me, no matter what he fought Ideas, after all, give me the ability to do what I want to do.”

[Just because something is difficult doesn’t mean it can’t be done, it will become difficult if you don’t do easy things]

[Doing the right thing is worth a lifetime of hard work, correcting a mistake is worth risking your life]

[When you grow up, you can... change everything. As long as you believe it, it is true. I will teach you the swordsmanship of Hui Jie and Chi Xiao]

Those vague memories gradually appeared in Chen's mind, and then gradually faded away. His words and deeds, what he had seen and heard over the years.

The fox was a little surprised that Chen Huijie would say these words to him.

In fact, their relationship is not that good. The fox doesn't like Chen much, and Chen doesn't like the insidious Wolper very much. But after all, they know each other and have crossed paths in Longmen because of the letter.

Perhaps it was precisely because neither of them wanted to see each other, and because they had a deeper connection with the same person by chance, that Chen Cai said these words in front of Su Li without any scruples.

Fox put down the wine glass, and she pushed the portfolio to Chen's desk.

"What do you mean?"

"What you have been checking is all inside." The fox breathed out a breath of alcohol: "I am here today, firstly to assist the inspection team, and secondly for the things inside. Chen Mo asked me to help you before leaving Longmen. , I guess he also said the same thing as you, but you will not come to me, we have the same idea on this point."

She watched Chen open the file bag, then cast her eyes on the small shop, leaning her hand on her chin.

"We used to come here all the time."

"Three years ago, when he returned to Longmen for the first time, the action team had just been formed, and I was ordered to be his coordinator." Fox said softly, "At that time, Chief Wei was already well prepared. I could see that in his heart I hate this city, and so do I. This Longmen has nothing to cherish about us. In fact, I should have left Longmen with him at that time, but in the end I stayed, even I didn’t know When did he become so reasonable?"

"The night before he left Longmen, there was turmoil in Longmen. Xiacheng District was invaded by a group of unknown people. Even Chief Wei was seriously injured. I know he wanted to destroy this place and kill Chief Wei, but in the end he Didn’t do that.”

Chen didn't seem to hear the fox's voice. She just looked at the information and the man's appearance in the photo when he first came back. He was still so inconspicuous, but he was more indifferent than when she met him in Londinium.

"I said I envy you, Chen Huijie, and that's the truth."

The fox tilted his head and looked at Chen.

"I don't envy your background, nor do I envy your smooth future. I only envy you that you have done nothing but can live a stable life. This makes me very unhappy and I don't like you."

"We are each other."

"So I regretted it later. I later thought that it would have been better to let him leave Londinium like that in the first place. No matter how he decided to live in the future, or whether he wanted to die in Kazdaele, that was actually good."

The fox's words were full of sarcasm.

Her wine had always been terrible, and Chen wasn't actually that much better.

Of course, they started to quarrel while chatting. Fortunately, they were still able to restrain themselves and did not get to the point of taking action.

Chapter 61 Being Unkind

[My fantasy was so tragic, but I didn’t expect that I would be so lonely...]

-----

Fox's wine is very bad, surprisingly bad, but few people know this about her.

There are almost no one to be found in the entire Longmen.

Because the fox would never look like this in front of others. She is a very cautious person, or perhaps too cautious.

Such people generally live very lonely lives.

But the fox has never been withdrawn, at least no one would think she would be in such a mood.

So much so that sometimes even she herself doesn't know what she is like. Is she the Longmen police superintendent who talks about people and ghosts, or is she the one who has gritted her teeth and worked her way up to where she is today step by step since she was a child? Su Fox.

That was incredible.

Just imagine a helpless, friendless wild boy who changes his destiny with his own hands. Maybe the fox is the kind of person who has the qualification to say that my fate is up to me, but the more difficult it is. Moving towards the upper level of Longmen, the more he understands this city, and the more he has the ability to survive in this city and even the power to control the life and death of others, the more Fox feels that people are truly trapped to death by the world. The more dead you are, the less you can live as you please.

The fox envies Chen Huijie.

He was especially envious of Chen Huijie, who looked at her drunkenly and pointed at him, and angrily vented her dissatisfaction with him.

The fox was really envious of her, and started to like this cool-looking Chen.

Although the fox himself is unwilling to admit it.

I don't want to admit that Chen Huijie's calmness, sincerity, and her slightly innocent but upright cute character all make people like her.

Fox began to understand why Chen Mo cared so much about her.

If the fox were a man, he might also fall in love with Chen Huijie like this, love her willfulness, love her stubbornness, and also love the courage and recklessness in her that he has lost.

Being reckless and fearless is also persistence.

But the more he thought about it, looking at the drunk Chen Huijie sleeping on the counter, looking at her slightly drunk face, the fox's eyes gradually became complicated.
