Heart fire

Five years ago in Chonghuai, among the thirty or so comrades in the team, Tao Weinan looked down on Xi Yang the most.

Chonghuai is a small second-tier city. At that time, the environment and atmosphere of the army were not as good as they are now. His family has some connections. He thought that he would be able to live a comfortable life after being sent to the company. It is expected that Zhou Yi, who is better than him in everything, has emerged from the same batch of recruits. Not to mention stealing his limelight, he also favors people he hates everywhere, and makes trouble with himself because of him every day.

Every time he sees Xi Yang Tao Weinan, he thinks, if it wasn't for Zhou Yi back then, he would have dealt with this disliked person so submissively.

But when Xi Yang punched him on the bridge of the nose, and the next punch landed in front of his cheekbones, he realized instantly that he was not his opponent at all.

"This punch was for the squad leader. No matter whether he is alive or dead now, you don't deserve to mention his name."

"There is another punch I made up for myself five years ago."

The two punches caused Tao Weinan to fall to the ground with tinnitus and dizziness.He licked his loose canine teeth, turned his head to the ground and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

Xi Yang put his hands on his aching knees, leaned over and looked at Tao Weinan with sympathetic and sad eyes.

Two meters away, Tu Ke and Zheng Jiang were also watching. Tao Weinan didn't feel embarrassed but sneered: "Why is this necessary for Team Xi? I'm only here as a supplier representative to understand the needs of the secret service, not to expose your background. Why are you in a hurry to gag my mouth?"

There was no expression on Xi Yang's face, but it was this kind of arrogance and indifference that strongly stimulated Tao Weinan's self-esteem. The obvious contrast made him miss the little boy who blushed and got angry when he said anything casually, and liked to pretend to be pitiful to win sympathy.

"Oh, I see." He deliberately glanced at Tu Ke and Xiang Yu, and said in a low voice: "If they know that the high-ranking Xi team has killed their comrades, what kind of intervention team is just a conscience to make atonement , what would they think? Will they still protect you as an innocent and good person like now? "

"I didn't." Xi Yang squatted down slowly. "It was an accident."

"Accident?" Tao Weinan smiled even more weirdly, the pain from the cracked corner of his mouth made his expression look very distorted. "Others can turn a blind eye to it and treat it as an accident, what about him?"

He looked towards the garage, and Zhou Tong was holding Xiang Jiajia up the ladder frame of the fire truck.

"Would he also believe it was just an accident?"

One sentence finally caused a trace of indiscernible emotion in Xi Yang's eyes. After a while, he asked coldly, "What exactly do you want?"

"Xiaoxi, don't be like that, you sound like I'm threatening you." Tao Weinan straightened his crooked tie, and took out a business card from his left breast pocket that was thrown away by Zhou Tong just like last time. , and handed it to Xi Yang between two fingers.

Seeing that Xi Yang was reluctant, but still accepted it after hesitation, he continued to say with satisfaction: "I am just a businessman now, thanks to the care of Team Xi, I was able to sign such a big deal with Teqin, and I want to treat my old comrades to a light meal." , I hope that Team Xi can give him a face when the time comes."

...

The five-year-old girl is lively and active like a little monkey, crawling up and down and jumping up and down, she can't catch her at all, so she has to keep an eye on her all the time to prevent accidents.Zhou Tongren was absent-minded, and while playing with Xiang Jiajia, he kept glancing at the gate, and then simply threw her to Wen Yue, and stood at the door with her schoolbag in his hand, always doing something wrong if he found something wrong. Get ready to rush.

In fact, he couldn't hold back when he first saw the trainer start doing it. The reason why he can bear it until now is because Wen Yue stopped him and said to him: "Don't make trouble, let the Zheng deputy team find something to embarrass you Or the trainer. Team Tu is here too, he will watch."

That's right, with Dui Tu and Dui Xiang here, how could it be his turn, a little soldier who is not even a first-class soldier, to come forward.He wasn't worried that Xi Yang would suffer and get injured, and it was impossible for him to question Team Tu's ability, but he was a little reconciled. He felt that teaching people should not be done by the trainer himself. Even if he was beaten, Tao Weinan didn't deserve it.

He watched Xi Yang knock down Tao Weinan, who was 1.8 meters tall, with two punches, and his speed was so fast that he did not give him any chance to fight back. He was surprised and admired, but at the same time he couldn't figure out what kind of serious illness would make his former comrade-in-arms They turned against each other, and the smell of gunpowder was so strong every time they met.

What did that Tao Weinan just say?Why is he with Deputy Team Zheng?They are friends?

Did someone die that year?Whose brother died?And who is protecting whom?Who took whose credit?

A series of questions circulated in Zhou Tong's mind.At this time, Tao Weinan, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly got up, and if he read it correctly, the instructor seemed to stretch out his hand to give him a hand.

What's the situation?Shake hands and make peace right after the fight?

Zhou Tong was at a loss, and the illusion of a hero saving the beauty was instantly shattered.

Soon, four captains including Xiang Yu entered the office building with Tao Weinan in a suit and leather shoes.Xi Yang walked last, Zhou Tong never took his eyes off him from the beginning to the end, he watched his figure until he disappeared, without even receiving a glance.

Along the way, no matter how much he hoped, even prayed for the so-called telepathy to appear, Xi Yang never looked at him.This made him inexplicably uneasy. He felt that the deep resonance between himself and him had been interrupted, and the signal had disappeared. Falling into the boundless universe alone.

Xiang Jiajia, who was playing crazy, was reprimanded by her mother, and now she was wearing a helmet and sitting obediently on Zhou Tong's lap eating biscuits.

Wen Yue also sat down next to her, and talked to Zhou Tong while helping her lift the helmet that blocked her view.

"...It's a coincidence, if you want to know something about your brother later, you can ask him to help you find out."

"What?" Zhou Tong finally recovered after hearing the word "your brother".

Wen Yue looked at him speechlessly: "...What are you doing? Why do you seem to have lost your soul!"

"...It's okay." Zhou Tong shook his head and asked, "What did you just say?"

Wen Yue sighed helplessly: "I said, do you remember the little light bulb? A few days ago, the comrades in arms of the recruit company established a group, and I didn't know that he was sent to Chonghuai. The third fire squadron of Pingnan District, Chonghuai City, It’s where your brother used to be a soldier, right?”

"Little light bulb?" Zhou Tong recalled carefully for a moment, and remembered that he was in the same class as the recruit company, the boy who had never seen the world and would not turn off the light.

"He went to Chonghuai?"

"Yes." Wen Yue said. "But he doesn't have a mobile phone, and he doesn't know when he can get in touch. When I was about to pull you into the group that day, Deputy Team Zheng came to check and confiscated my mobile phone. Oh, wait..."

This was originally something to be happy about. As long as you contact the small light bulb, you can inquire about Zhou Yi's specific situation in the army and sacrifice, but Zhou Tong can't be happy anyway, and he doesn't want to be too obvious. I was so excited to read it, so I had to ask him: "What illegal things are stored in your mobile phone?"

Wen Yue didn't know if it was heat or something, her earlobes were red.

"It's nothing..." He took out one from a new pack of jelly, put it on his ear and said, "It's just eating chicken, fighting landlords and so on..."

"No more?" Zhou Tong knew at a glance that he was not telling the truth. "It's not against the rules to play games."

"Hmm... There are a few sneak shots of Team Tu in the album."

It doesn't seem like a fault to worship one's own leader.

Zhou Tong smiled and asked again: "What else?"

Wen Yue knew that he couldn't be fooled, so he glanced at him, then lowered his head: "There are also several popular science pages in the search engine."

"I don't know if he will read..." Speaking of this, Wen Yue's expression is very similar to that little soybean who is [about to cry] in WeChat.

No matter how stupid Zhou Tong was, he could guess the general idea, and suddenly he laughed heartlessly and forgot his troubles.He bumped Wen Yue with a depressed face with his shoulder, and secretly said to him: "When you get your phone back, give me some popular science too."

Wen Yuebai glanced at him, thinking that straight men are joining in the fun, go away!

...

There was a circle of people sitting on the sofa in the office, Tu Ke was next to Xi Yang, with one butt occupying two seats.Hot water was boiling in the teapot, and when it was ready, he glanced at Tao Weinan who was lighting a cigarette for Zheng Jiang, and said slowly: "It seems that Mr. Tao is quite familiar with our Deputy Team Zheng."

Except for Zheng Jiang, none of the people present smoked.Tao Weinan wanted to order one for himself, but just after he took it out, he heard Tu Ke talking, so he stuffed it back in, and said with a smile, "It's because of the talk and Zheng team's face."

He moved out of the speaking team, and deliberately omitted an adverb, the intention can be imagined.It's a pity that he only knew a thing or two about the terrible relationship between Jiang Xu and Tu Ke, the stepfather and son. Unexpectedly, Tu Ke not only refused to accept this, but immediately sneered: "The thing I admire most about this old man is that he never dies. Offend the villain."

Xi Yang and Xiang Yu are used to scolding three people this way. Zheng Jiang is too rich to show his attitude easily. Only Tao Weinan smiled awkwardly: "...Team Tu really knows how to joke."

"Who's joking with you?" Tu Ke raised his eyebrows, then changed the subject and asked again: "Since Mr. Tao has such a good relationship with our superiors, then I would like to ask why the quotation in Anqi's bidding document is higher than the direct purchase So much? Do the team and Deputy Team Zheng know about this situation?"

Zheng Jiang naturally wouldn't answer, Tao Weinan explained with ease: "Team Tu, you have been doing firefighting for so many years. In addition to the freight for vehicles and equipment, it also involves the purchase of bidding documents and travel expenses, deposits, and quality assurance deposits for bidding personnel. In addition, Anqi is bidding through an agent, and the service fee for winning the bid is not a small sum, so the price must be higher than direct procurement, you don’t understand, right?”

Tao Weinan was ready to be refuted before, but Tu Ke didn't play his cards according to common sense.

"Who told you that I have been doing firefighting for many years? I have only been working for two years. The guns I touched before shot out bullets, not water. I don't understand what you said, but this time I have to work hard, carefully, and humbly. study and research."

Tao Weinan: "..."

"There is one more thing I'm curious about." Tu Ke said again. "Anqi is such a big company, why do you have to find an agent when you bid? I read the statistical report on winning bids in the third quarter of this year in the province, and your family alone accounted for two-thirds. How much will it cost if we all use agents?" Money? The agency company is making a lot of money."

Tao Weinan looked at the cup of tea pushed in front of him, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down with the ups and downs of the leaves: "Anshi's headquarters and main business are abroad, and there is only Anqi in China. My bidding department is too busy. The agency is Our strategic alignment..."

"The legal person of this agency company seems to be surnamed Chen." Tu Ke was just probing, and was too lazy to listen to these nonsense, so he interrupted directly: "I heard that Mr. Chen is very wealthy at a young age, and there is a cute couple The twins are winners in life."

"His wife's surname is Zheng. It is said that she is from Wucheng and also works in the fire protection system." Tu Ke picked up the cup and blew away the tea, sipped the tea to moisten his throat, and suddenly smiled when he looked at Zheng Jiang: "Hey, what a coincidence Unfortunately, he and our deputy Zheng are fellow villagers, or from the same family."

As soon as these words came out, the already quiet room became even more audible.At this time, Zheng Jiang, who had never spoken, extinguished half of the cigarette in his hand: "That's really a coincidence. Team Tu is so clear, it seems that he has really put in a lot of effort, and I will ask you to introduce it when I have a chance in the future." Introduce me to this family."

Dare to come to the special service, eat this piece of fat under Tu Ke's nose, and eat it so blatantly and confidently, the relationship behind it is not simple.It is not an easy task to overthrow Zheng Jiang, and it is not easy to make him show his original shape with a few words of wit. It is useless to talk more before he has conclusive evidence. Tu Ke continued to make tea calmly, taking turns to give everyone space After adding new tea to the cup, we got to the point, and chatted with Tao Weinan about purchasing.

In order to cooperate with the two new teams of the Special Service, the best and most advanced rescue equipment was purchased this time. The ten fire boats alone cost more than 100 million, which only accounted for one-third of the total amount.

In the middle of the story, Tao Weinan suggested finding a place to eat and chat, but Tu Ke didn't even want him to enter the cafeteria, and was about to send him away after a few words, when suddenly the alarm bell rang, and there were running people in the originally quiet corridor. footsteps.

Zhou Tong and Wen Yue, who had been staying in the garage, finished dressing in the blink of an eye.Xiang Jiajia was startled by the frenzied ringing of the bell, and got into her mother's arms. Then she saw her father and several uncles running over from the building, so she broke free again, grabbed Zhou Tong, and raised her head to ask him : "Brother Tongtong, is my father going to fight the fire again? Can you protect him?"

Seeing her struggling, Zhou Tong quickly squatted down: "Yes, don't worry, brother will definitely protect your father and never let him get hurt again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.

When I turned around, I saw the trainer with the helmet on.Zhou Tong didn't have time to stand up, so he leaned over and whispered quickly and softly in his ear: "Let's go, Brother Tong Tong."

Zhou Tong: "..."

His legs were weak, as if he couldn't stand up suddenly.

Zheng Jiang stayed in the team according to the instructions.Tu Ke didn't stop Xiang Yu, but told him to get into the duty car, and analyzed the police situation with him as before.

When Xi Yang got into the car with Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong kicked the accelerator and drove the car out of the garage. Xiang Yu looked at the message sent by the dispatcher and said to them: "Jinwan Avenue, Hengjing Banshan Villa Area... ...to break into a house and take hostages..."

"Ah?" Tu Ke, who was sitting in the co-pilot, put down his phone and looked up at him. "What do you want us to do by taking hostages?"

Xiang Yu has already entered the state of combat, and the previous discomfort and inferiority are swept away.

"...I haven't finished yet. The gangsters inside threatened to set fire to the hostages and die together. The villa was built in the middle of the mountain, and there was no water source nearby. The team asked us to go there and stand by."
