The stars are not last night

In midsummer, the scorching sun scorched the concrete floor, which seemed to be smoking.

Chu Yao held the gun and pointed it straight at the bandit who was five meters away from him with heavy firepower and was holding a hostage.

Cold sweat covered Chu Yao's forehead, and he looked at the hostage Lu Jun without moving his eyes.

He was waiting for the sniper to kill the criminal with a single shot. However, the sniper made a mistake and the bullet only grazed the gangster's forehead.

In a fit of rage, the gangster fired a shot at the head of the hostage. In an instant, blood was splashed everywhere, and blood froth floated in the air. Everything was played back in Chu Yao's mind in slow motion.

Chu Yao shot and killed the gangster, then rushed forward frantically, hugging Lu Jun's body tightly.

Lu Jun's face was covered with blood, and his eyes were left with the shock before he died.

"Chu Yao!"

Chu Yao felt that someone was pushing him, and he turned his head stiffly, only to see Li Ran who was dying.

"Chu Yao!"

For a moment, Lu Jun's face overlapped with Li Ran's in memory, and Chu Yao felt a splitting headache.

"Wake up, Chu Yao!"

Chu Yao slowly opened his eyes, and Yin Xingchen's face came into view. He pushed Yin Xingchen away and staggered out of bed.

Yin Xingchen's expression darkened, and he rushed forward to restrain Chu Yao with a few moves.

"Let me go!" Chu Yao's voice was hoarse, like a beast trapped in a cage with nowhere to escape, he struggled to escape from Yin Xingchen's embrace.

"Let go!" Chu Yao couldn't control his emotions at all, he clenched his teeth tightly, his body trembling.

Yin Xingchen tightly restrained Chu Yao with both arms, preventing him from escaping.

"Chu Yao, calm down, take a deep breath, calm down." Yin Xingchen comforted him softly in his ear.

Chu Yao's eyes were red, and tears swirled in his eyes full of sadness. He bit the tip of his tongue and tried his best to control his emotions.

Yin Xingchen half-forced Chu Yao back to the bed.

Chu Yao sat on the bed, raised her peach blossom eyes full of sadness, and could see the paleness in her expression at a glance.

Yin Xingchen rubbed his cheek lightly with his thumb, and asked softly, "Tell me what did you dream about."

Chu Yao opened his mouth, blood slid down the corner of his lips, and he bit the tip of his tongue.

Yin Xingchen felt his heart beating violently, his eyes darkened, he took out the disinfectant cotton from the carved drawer leaning against the bed, and signaled Chu Yao to open his mouth.

Chu Yao finally came back to his senses, he froze for a moment, then took the sterilized cotton to clean up the remaining blood in his mouth.

Yin Xingchen brought honey and let Chu Yao suck it.

Chu Yao didn't swallow, but took two mouthfuls of honey to calm himself down.

"Does it hurt?" Yin Xingchen asked without thinking.

"It doesn't hurt." To Chu Yao, his arm had been broken all his life, and the bite just now was nothing at all.

"What did you dream about?"

"It's nothing." After a pause, he said, "I don't want to talk about it now."

"Tell me when you want to."

"It's dawn." Chu Yao looked at the faint morning light leaking in through the window.

Chu Yao arrived at Yin's house at four o'clock in the morning, and had a nightmare before falling asleep, and was woken up by Yin Xingchen.So when he woke up, it was already morning.

"Sleep for a while." Yin Xingchen didn't mean to discuss in his tone, and directly pushed Chu Yao down on the bed.

"Yin Xingchen, do you have human rights in your eyes?" Chu Yao closed his eyes tiredly, with a hint of helplessness in his words.

"Do you know how cruel and inhumane TX was ten years ago? At that time, the drug network was criss-crossing inside and outside TX, and there were so many transactions on the dark side. During that time, I was very concerned about all of this..."

Yin Xingchen's voice became farther and farther away, until it faded out of his mind, and Chu Yao fell asleep.

Looking at Chu Yao's cold sleeping face, a thought secretly grew in Yin Xingchen's heart, instantly filling his entire chest.

When he woke up, there was nothing beside Chu Yao, Yin Xingchen had already left, only the memorial of being slept on was left on the bed sheet, and a new set of casual clothes was placed beside the bed.

Chu Yao glanced at the antique wall clock. At two o'clock in the afternoon, he slept for a total of ten hours.

After taking the casual clothes and changing into them, Chu Yao walked to the bathroom and started tidying up.

Looking up, his eyes reflected in the mirror were swollen, and Chu Yao did not suspect that he was crying in his sleep.

He did cry, Yin Xingchen saw that he didn't make much movement, so he let him cry.

Chu Yao, who was asleep, did not have any more nightmares, but there was great sadness in his heart, that kind of hopeless sadness, which would inadvertently appear in Chu Yao's heart after Lu Jun's death.

Leaving Yin's house went smoothly, without being blocked, Chu Yao went straight back to his dilapidated temporary residence.

He took out a mobile phone from the drawer, inserted the calling card, and Chu Yao contacted Han Di.

"Chu Yao?"

"Help me find someone." Chu Yao took out a compressed biscuit that was about to expire from the storage cabinet, and ate it with cold water.

"Who."

"The next hall master of the TX sect——Li Ran."

"I'm afraid I don't have that power."

"Ask Song Xizheng for help."

Half an hour after Chu Yao finished calling, Han Di replied to him.

Li Ran, formerly known as Li Litang, has been lurking in the TX casino for a year. He lost contact with his chief last night, and the search failed.

"Tell him sir he's dead."

On the other side of the phone, there was only the sound of vessels being smashed. Han Di suppressed his anger and told Chu Yao that Li Ran's daughter was only three years old.

"When will the compensation come down?"

"After a period of time."

After Chu Yao asked some more detailed information about Li Ran, he hung up.

Looking at the time, at 4 pm, Chu Yao bought the long-distance bus ticket for the day and left the city.

After a bumpy night, Chu Yao arrived in a small town in J City. He found a hotel and slept in the dark for a long time. When he woke up from hunger, it was already dusk.

Just find something to fill your stomach, and then go straight to an address.

Chu Yao stood in front of the very sweet-looking hut and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened, and a woman came out, her eyes were swollen, her hair was messy, and her appearance was exhausted.

"Excuse me, are you Li Litang's family?"

The woman nodded: "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

"Do you know what happened to your husband?"

The woman nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.

"He died in the line of duty, I..." Chu Yao couldn't continue, he remembered the shot he killed Li Ran.

"I don't understand him, I don't understand him." The woman choked up intermittently, looking at Chu Yao with grief in her eyes: "He has been hiding it from me, and I was still thinking, why didn't he be a good policeman, I ran so far to the city to build a casino. I... I. Did the people from the casino do it? Isn’t it? You tell me, tell me..."

The woman firmly grasped Chu Yao's sleeves, tears rolled down her haggard face, finally she couldn't bear it anymore, her knees were weak and she knelt down.

Chu Yao helped her up: "Sister-in-law, my condolences."

"How to mourn, how to mourn? There are no corpses, no corpses..."

"Sister-in-law, you still have a daughter to take care of, so you have to persevere." Chu Yao didn't know how to comfort others, so he could only support the woman.

"Are you from the police? Have you found the body?" A trace of hope crossed the woman's face.

Chu Yao shook his head: "I'm his friend, he had a sum of money with me during his lifetime, I'm here to hand over the money back to you."

The woman was weak and wanted to slide down again, Chu Yao supported her thin body with one hand, took out the check with the other hand, and stuffed it into her hand.

"What's the use of money?" The woman cried hoarsely all day: "The police have already transferred a large sum of money to me. But, what's the use of money? Can it bring people back from the dead?"

police?Han Di Mingming said that the compensation has not yet arrived.There was a hint of doubt in Chu Yao's heart.

"Sister-in-law, you take it. This is left by your husband during his lifetime."

After a long time, the woman stretched out her weak hand and held the check in her hand.

When leaving, Chu Yao's heart was full of bitterness.

Chu Yao rushed back to Area A overnight, and when he opened his eyes on the long-distance bus, the morning light had pierced the sky, and Area A had arrived.

When Chu Yao stood in front of the door of his dilapidated hut, the corners of his eyes twitched. Liang Chuan sat on the back seat of a bicycle with invincible and non-mainstream decoration, and smiled brightly at him.Liang Chuan also attracted the attention of many passing women.

"You are very public relations today." Chu Yao commented.

"Let's go on a self-driving tour." Liang Chuan suggested, the matter of Li Ran didn't seem to leave a shadow in his heart, even though he was sad at that time.

"Self-driving tour? Bicycle?" Chu Yao rolled his eyes.

"Look, I brought yours too." Liang Chuan patted the non-mainstream bicycle beside him.

"I have to say, your aesthetics are really..."

"Really what?"

"Specially..." Chu Yao gestured and did not continue.

"That's right! It's very special! Passers-by are all looking at me! I just said how come I'm so handsome, young master."

"Specially low." Chu Yao continued what he hadn't finished just now.

"Hey, your aesthetic is the problem! I am the latest trend of European and American visual department."

"just you?"

"Huh? No? Do you know which university my young master was admitted to?"

"It's not bad to pass the exam."

Poor Liang Chuan was admitted to a really good school, but Chu Yao poured cold water on him, half of his enthusiasm was extinguished.

"are you going?"

"Do you want me to starve to death?"

"Where did you go last night? I called the door early this morning, but you weren't there." Liang Chuan followed Chu Yao into Chu Yao's dilapidated house.

"Nowhere."

"Going to the nightclub again?"

"Ah."

"Will Brother Chen pull you into bed and beat you hard?"

Chu Yao ignored Liang Chuan, he took out the compressed biscuits, turned on the old TV, and half-lyed on the bed to eat the biscuits.

"Chu Yao, are you scared stupid by that incident?" Liang Chuan pushed Chu Yao.

"I think your IQ and EQ are in a waterfall decline today." Chu Yao took a bite of the biscuit.

"Ever since Brother Chen asked me to pretend to be the police and allocate funds to Li Ran's wife's account, I feel that my soul is not in my body."

"Where did it go? Next to the enchanting body of the DISCO dancer?" Chu Yao finally knew where the money mentioned by Li Ran's widow came from.

Liang Chuan snatched the compressed biscuit from Chu Yao's hand: "What are you doing eating this. I'll take you to a big restaurant."

Chu Yao took back the compressed biscuit and said casually, "I'm going to Maple Leaf."

"Uh..." Liang Chuan blushed, and suddenly remembered something: "I forgot that I have no money in my account. That kid Ji Ziyuan stole all my property."

Chu Yao sympathetically handed the compressed biscuit to Liang Chuan.

"Then let's make some money first. Come with me."

Chu Yao really went crazy with Liang Chuan, and the two ran to a bar in broad daylight.

Liang Chuan sat in front of the bar and asked the bartender for a cocktail. The bartender wanted to put the drink on the bar, but Liang Chuan took it from the bartender before the bartender put the drink.

This movement made him lean forward, exposing a small piece of skin on his lower back.

Chu Yao's eyebrows twitched. He was right. Liang Chuan's IQ and EQ dropped by three thousand feet today. Liang Chuan seemed to have a warning light hanging on his head: Warning, warning, IQ is approaching. A negative value of [-] is about to break through the limits of people on Earth.

A well-dressed middle-aged uncle leaned next to Liang Chuan with an ambiguous expression.

Liang Chuan's face darkened for a second, and then he showed a sunny smile, letting that Kaizi get closer and closer.

Liang Chuan whispered to the middle-aged uncle, and not long after, the uncle took out a pen and wrote the check.

Just as Liang Chuan was about to receive the check, the uncle slipped the check back into his suit pocket, and motioned Liang Chuan to go to the bar box with ambiguous eyes.

Liang Chuan followed the uncle, and when he passed by Chu Yao, he raised his middle finger behind him to express his dissatisfaction.

Chu Yao couldn't help laughing, and when Liang Chuan really entered the box, he finally couldn't help laughing, and the bartender looked puzzled.
