It was the first time Yan Xuechi heard the other party call his name.

I almost didn't react for a while.

But he was not in a hurry to answer, but carefully discerned the voices around Lancer.

It is generally quiet, but occasionally you can still hear various noises around you.

Obviously not at home.

"Mr. Yan, can you hear me?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Lancer changed his address and asked again.

As soon as the words fell, Yan Xuechi heard a violent cough again.It was a little harsh, and it felt a lot worse than when I left just now.

"What's matter?"

"Where are you now?"

"Outside, what's wrong?" Yan Xuechi felt a little puzzled.

"Can you go back to the police department? The Chief Detective and your subordinates are waiting for you in the office, and I will go there later to discuss something with you."

Yan Xuechi was silent for a while, thinking about the monitoring equipment that accompanied her for five years, and finally replied, "Okay, but it may be a little later. It just so happens that I also have something to look for you."

After finishing speaking, Yan Xuechi hung up.

This communication is really a bit...too much a coincidence.

It was so coincidental that Yan Xuechi couldn't tell if it was a real coincidence or if there was something else invisible in it.

"Go back?"

"Of course I'll go back. In the middle of the night, the chief detective and Ah Yue are waiting, what else can we do if we don't go back?" After Yan Xuechi finished speaking, she entered the password on the control board of the hover car. At least doubled the speed.

When they arrived at the Federal Building, the sky was already pale.

Dawn is coming.

When she arrived at the Chief Detective's office, Yan Xuechi saw that Chief Detective Wei and Ah Yue had obviously stayed here all night, and Lancer was there too, with his head down, coughing twice occasionally, and a half-drunk bottle in hand. Supplemented by sleep, but the spirit is still not very good.

"Xuechi, I have to wake you up in the middle of the night. It's really urgent." Mr. Wei was the first to speak, and he was still looking at the documents in his hand while talking.

"It's okay. But why didn't you contact me?" If it was really a matter of work, Yan Xuechi felt that it was his boss who gave instructions.

rather than an irrelevant person.

"During these three days, if I ask you to come back to work, I will be judged to have intentionally exploited you. So I just asked outsiders to contact you, there is no other meaning."

That being said, it was a coincidence.

Yan Xuechi glanced at the man who propped his head aside, his brows were furrowed, and he wished he could curl up into a ball.The vigilance that had risen not long ago subsided a lot.

"This task... Ah Yue said that you don't really want to take it. You have been talking with me for several hours."

Yan Xuechi remembered what Shao Yuan said to herself just now.

Find five teenage girls who have not completed their secondary gender differentiation.

Although he didn't say the purpose, and what Shao Yuan gave was only a guess, Yan Xuechi always felt that he would not give the address for no reason to let him find someone.

After all, they are also federal special police, and the things that this kind of neighborhood committees do are indeed not in line with the nature of their work.

Yan Xuechi thought for a while before she opened her mouth and said, "It's like this, mainly—"

Before he could finish speaking, Chief Detective Wei interrupted, "If you don't want to, forget it. You don't need to explain anything. Mr. Hawke heard that you didn't want to take this mission, so he volunteered to take over for you. But because it was assigned to you at the beginning, so The transfer task requires both of you to sign. It will be carried out tomorrow, so I called you over in the middle of the night."

After finishing speaking, there were several paper documents in front of Yan Xuechi, "He has already signed it, and I will wait for you."

Yan Xuechi hesitated for a while, and finally picked up a pen and drew her own name next to Lancer's.

"Okay, it's okay, Mr. Hawke and I will explain the rules of the police department's travel missions, and you can go."

After walking out of the office, Yan Xuechi did not leave in a hurry, but stopped at the door.

"Xuechi, did the monitoring equipment detect it?" Ah Yue saw him stop and asked casually.

"No, nothing was detected, but the line has been cut off. By the way, what happened this time? Shao Yuan and I probably talked about it, and they are going to use these five people...

"It's very possible. Ika Hawke is the eldest son of the royal family. He went into shock at today's regular meeting. I have read the encrypted data. The blood types of the five people are all unknown, but they are not on the blood type of the federal blood bank. Same as Ika."

"I see, thank you." Yan Xuechi sighed after finishing speaking, "Go back first, I'll find him later if I have something to do."

One is about listening devices.

The other one is about...whether or not real people will be used to match organs to artificial humans this time.

Although Yan Xuechi knew that this was not within her jurisdiction, she still wanted to ask something on the sidelines.

"Don't look for it. In case..."

"It's okay. If you don't leave the federal building, you'll be fine." Yan Xuechi didn't intend to leave after she finished speaking, she was still stuck at the door.

After waiting for a while, I saw the blond man, wrapped in a heavy coat and scarf, get out of it.

"Mr. Hawke." Yan Xuechi came out from the corner when she heard the movement, and stopped Lancer who was about to leave, "Please wait a moment, I need you."

Lancer stopped walking after hearing this, "What's the matter?"

When it really came time to speak, Yan Xuechi was a little at a loss.

"Is it inconvenient to talk here? You can come to my office." Seeing that Yan Xuechi was not in a hurry to speak, Lancer noticed Yan Xuechi's hesitation first.

At this time, there are basically no people in the military department, except for the occasional encounter with a few security personnel and cleaning robots.

Apart from the sound of footsteps, Lancer was breathing heavily and coughing.

It was indeed a bit more serious than it sounded earlier.

In fact, Yan Xuechi still felt guilty about this.

The atmosphere in the military building was obviously not as loose as that in the police department.

Even if there is no one, an invisible force of oppression is always there.

Lancer's office is near the top floor, or surrounded by windows as usual.

When sitting on the sofa, Yan Xuechi still hadn't figured out how to speak.

It would be embarrassing to ask directly.

While thinking, Yan Xuechi only felt a corner of warmth near her cheek.

When he was in a hurry to dodge, he realized that it was Lancer who handed over the cup.

It's not the kind of thing that's on your mind.

I don't know when, it seems that physical contact has become more frequent, so that this kind of illusion can be produced.

"Thank you." Yan Xuechi took the cup, the hot tea inside was just the right temperature for drinking, but the aroma was strong.

"Is there anything you can do with me?" Lancer was still sitting in a place away from the three of Yan Xuechi.Although I tried to sit up straight, I could still see that I was a little powerless.

"Hmm... why did you take the initiative to take the task in my hand?" Yan Xue thought for a long time before deciding to use this place as the entry point.

"This matter is not as simple as finding someone. If it is exposed later, it will have a great impact on your reputation." Lancer's business is still not disturbed. In seven days, it can still be washed clean."

"Since you know that it will have a great impact on your reputation, why do you want to do it?"

"Mr. Yan already knows, otherwise he wouldn't try his best to refuse."

Just now Yan Xuechi felt that Shao Yuan's unrealistic speculation was a bit too much, but now she wants to go back and slap herself, "..."

"Sorry, I will tell Mr. Yan slowly about the internal affairs of the family in the future."

Yan Xuechi clenched the cup of hot tea in her hand, and said again, "Can I ask one more thing?"

"whats the matter?"

"I haven't contacted you for so many years. When we reunited for the first time, you deliberately picked a restaurant that can block all signals." Yan Xuechi paused, "I discovered something recently."

"My hearing aids have been equipped with monitors for five years." After saying this, Yan Xuechi laughed and just looked at Lancer like that.

"You know that."

"I can hear the explanation—"

"At the beginning, I was puzzled, how could it be so frequent in my life after not seeing each other for so many years. I never expected that such a big drama could be pulled out."

"No, listen to me—"

Yan Xuechi didn't really want to hear him explain what was there and what wasn't, so she interrupted several times without giving Lancer a chance to finish, "Can you tell me what the picture is?"

"listen--"

This time, Yan Xuechi didn't interrupt her verbally, but directly grabbed the other party's collar, and quickly pulled towards her, obviously a lot more excited than usual, "Speak!"

Lancer was dragged like this, but his hands were drooping, and he didn't show any resistance at all, "Xuechi, can you calm down first?"

Yan Xuechi didn't intend to let go.

Even the five knuckles were clenched white, and even in the dim light in the office, one could still see the ferocious expression on his face.

"It's okay to pull me, then keep this posture, can you continue to explain while listening to me?" Although being pulled by the collar is not comfortable, Lancer didn't try to force it anymore, and still asked calmly, "Or you finish yelling first, and I'll talk later."

Only then did Yan Xuechi take her hand back.

However, although the hand was retracted, the folds on the collar and the messy tie could not be restored.

In addition to the lack of concentration and heavy excessive breathing in this disease.

If outsiders see it, they really can't tell whether the two almost fought or almost "fighted".

Lancer seemed to calm down a little when he saw him, and tried to sit upright, "Five years ago, I was still studying in the military academy. At that time, I couldn't even decide what time to write my homework every night, let alone send it to someone else's hearing aid. Something like having a monitor in the device."

"But you know about it, don't you?"

"I know. But I just found out recently. Before the military took office, I discovered it by accident. After I found out, I found you immediately... But at that time, there was no specific evidence, and I didn't know you very well, so it's not good." Make random guesses." Lancer thought for a while before slowly opening his mouth, "But I didn't expect it to take as long as five years, I'm sorry, when I got suspicious, I should have told Mr. Yan immediately."

Yan Xuechi: "..."

After listening to it, the fist that was clenched just now suddenly loosened, and the whole person seemed a little sluggish.

"I don't know the reason for the monitoring. If Mr. Yan needs to investigate, I will do my best to help." After speaking, Lancer picked up the water on the coffee table and took two sips.

"I was impulsive just now, I'm sorry." Yan Xue didn't know how credible these words were, but the subtle thing was that even though she felt suspicious intellectually, she had already accepted this set of words in her heart.

"It's okay, but since you know that you are impulsive, clean up the mess you just made."

Yan Xuechi knew she was in the wrong, and silently helped up the things that had been knocked down on the coffee table.

"I didn't ask you to clean up the table." After Lancer finished speaking, he turned his gaze to his neckline and the piece of clothing that he had scratched in front of his chest.

And the tie that was falling apart.

"There is no iron, so I can only trouble Mr. Yan to use his hands."

Yan Xuechi followed his gaze, and then realized what the so-called "messy scene" refers to.

After hesitating for a while, Yan Xuechi stretched out her hand tremblingly, but kept her head down.Probably because the gaze on the other side was so hot that he didn't dare to look directly at him.

When the fingertips touched the front of the heart through the shirt, Yan Xuechi could clearly feel the excessively fast heartbeat inside.

and fiery temperatures.

and muscle strength.

Lancer didn't speak, just looked at him silently, watching his knuckle-boned fingers back and forth in front of his heart, trying to smooth out the creases just made.

The imaginative movements, and hands, are surprisingly obedient.

Seeing this, he couldn't help squinting his eyes, as if he was thinking about something more dangerous.

When she reached for the tie, Yan Xue hesitated.

For things like ties, Yan Xuechi would only tie them for herself, not for others.

"Sorry, I don't know how to tie people's ties..."

Hearing this answer, Lancer was a little delighted.

Not being able to wear a tie for others proves to a large extent that he has not maintained a cohabitation relationship with others.

But even though it was a secret joy, what was done on the surface was another way.

"Come closer, I'll teach you."

Naturally, Lancer didn't expect Yan Xuechi to take the initiative to come over, but pre-emptively shortened the distance.

Suddenly, he tore off the tie around Yan Xuechi's neck.

The gentle movements of the past were washed away, and even took advantage of the opportunity to tear off two buttons.

Yan Xuechi: "???"

She didn't know what was going on, Yan Xuechi seemed to have forgotten to dodge for a moment, she just froze in place.

dare not move.

Lancer didn't say anything for a while, and concentrated on re-tying it for him.

It was still dark outside, and only a small light was turned on in the office, and the light was still dim.

In fact, even if they were sitting face to face, the face of the other party seemed a little hazy.

Although it was hazy, Yan Xuechi could feel that the other party was always looking at her.

When he was about to fasten it, Lancer's hand accidentally swept across the front of his heart...a place that was not easy for others to touch.Originally, he wanted to apologize, but before he could open his mouth, he saw that he was going to hide, so he simply pulled him back by his tie, "Don't move around, I'm teaching you."

Naturally, Yan Xuechi would not be obedient, and subconsciously wanted to run outside.

It's not that the action is uncomfortable.

Instead, an inexplicable feeling swept over... It wasn't uncomfortable, but it made people subconsciously want to hide.

Lancer naturally didn't give him a chance to escape, "If you move around again, what if you shake your hands and hit the wrong place, and accidentally cover your eyes, what should you do if Mr. Yan can't see anything?"
