Autumn water is long

Lu Ting came out of the bathroom covered in heat, wrapped in a bath towel, wiped his hair with one hand, and swiped his phone contacts with the other.

Counting the days, today is the last day of Autumn Italy's susceptibility period, and it is also the time that Lu Ting calculated to completely end his defense against Ning Xinghe's hostile takeover.

"President Lu." Ouyang Rong's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lu Ting asked: "How is the investigation of the Yinhe Group going?"

Ouyang Rong: "It's almost there, including the evidence of illegal transactions between the Lu Group and the Yinhe Group in recent years. Now it depends on how far Mr. Lu wants the Galaxy Group to collapse."

Lu Ting said with a smile: "You have learned how to be bad. It's not how much I want the Yinhe Group to collapse, but how the law will punish them."

Ouyang Rong: "Then...what about Chairman Lu?"

Lu Ting stopped wiping his hair, "Keep it for now, it will be useful in the future."

"Yes."

Lu Ting glanced at his watch and said, "In half an hour, you and the legal affairs officer Chen will arrive at Niyan. We will hold a small meeting with the four of us when we hear from Mr. Yan."

Ouyang Rong responded, and then asked suddenly: "Why did Boss Yan personally follow Ning Xinghe, did you arrange it, Boss Lu?"

Lu Ting stopped changing his bathrobe: "Boss Yan personally followed Ning Xinghe?"

Ouyang Rong: "Yes, when I drove past Yinhe Group to get the information, I saw Mr. Yan's car following Ning Xinghe's car, and Mr. Yan himself was inside."

"Which direction did they go?"

"To the west, go to Pingkang Avenue."

Lu Ting's heart was filled with worry, "Understood, you should contact Xiao Chen first, and then call out two bodyguards from the Lu mansion, and wait for my call."

"Okay, Mr. Lu."

Lu Ting put down his phone, quickly changed out of his bathrobe, put on a shirt jacket, and without blowing his hair, picked up Qiuyibei's car keys and rushed out the door.

Before closing the door, Lu Ting stopped, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Qiu Yibei's number: "I will drive your car away."

The door closed in response, and Lu Tingfei also ran down the stairs, skillfully opened the car door, adjusted the seat position, stepped on the gas pedal, and galloped west.

On the way, Lu Ting kept calling Yan Yan, but none of them answered without exception, and if she called again, she would be told that the phone had been turned off.

Pingkang Avenue in the west crosses the emerging development zone of Pingyu City, where many Internet and e-commerce companies are located.

Although Lu Ting found out that Ning Xinghe had plans to transform the Yinhe Group, he didn't know which office building Ning Xinghe's new company was hiding in.

He called Ouyang Rong and asked him to check if there was a house under Ning Xinghe's name in the development zone.

Although Ouyang Rong agreed, he said it would take time.

Lu Ting also understood that no matter how capable Ouyang Rong was, he couldn't find a relationship in such a short period of time and find out such private information.

So he just said "as soon as possible" and hung up.

Just as Lu Ting hung up the phone with Ouyang Rong, he received a call from an unfamiliar number.

As soon as I picked it up, there was a roar on the other end of the phone: "I said Mr. Lu, what are you and Qiu Yibei doing! After a while, my mobile phone received more than ten records of speeding violations. Why are you two still playing in the car?" .”

Lu Ting recognized Liang Shaoze's voice, and hung up without wanting to explain.But it suddenly occurred to him that the Liang family's information acquisition channels might be more accessible than theirs.

"Young Master Liang, can you do me a favor?"

Liang Shaoze got angry and asked angrily, "What's the matter!"

Lu Ting: "Can you find out if there is any record of Ning Xinghe renting office buildings in the development zone on Pingkang Avenue?"

Liang Shaoze heard Lu Ting say that it was about Ning Xinghe, and his tone was very serious, so he couldn't help becoming serious: "Why are you looking into this? Is it related to Qiu Yibei's Nanfei?"

"It's too late to explain, human life is at stake."

Liang Shaoze is really as Qiu Yibei commented, although in the eyes of others he looks like an unlearned and incompetent swinger, but he is indeed righteous.

As soon as Lu Ting said "human life is at stake", he stopped asking, and within 10 minutes he found an address by borrowing his father's various connections.

Lu Ting thanked him, didn't have time to say other polite words, and went straight there.

-

Yesterday Lu Ting emphasized to Yan Yan that he must have the most reliable and trustworthy person.

But she and Qiu Yibei have only been in Pingyu City for five years, and they have no foundation. In addition, Qiu Yibei has always said that he should try not to involve the Liang family, so the only person Yan Yan trusts the most is herself.

Yan Yan changed out of her neat suit and high heels, and put on a student-like tracksuit.

The gold-rimmed half-rim glasses have also become the unobtrusive black-frame glasses of her college days.

She followed Ning Xinghe into a deserted office building. From the outside, from the first floor to the top floor, except for a few floors where there were people working, the rest were in an unrenovated state.

Seeing Ning Xinghe vigilantly looking left and right into the elevator, Yan Yan waited for the elevator door to close completely, rushed to the elevator, and saw that the elevator passed the third floor and the fourth floor.

Yan Yan pressed the elevator next to her and pressed the number three.

The third floor was coming soon, Yan Yan only leaned out half of her body, and found that the elevator that Ning Xinghe was in had passed the sixth floor and hadn't stopped yet.

Yan Yan immediately retreated to the elevator and pressed the fifth floor.

Same as the third floor, Yan Yan stayed in the elevator with half of her body, and saw that Ning Xinghe finally stopped on the top floor.

Yan Yan decisively abandoned the elevator and ran into the stairwell to the top floor.

Luckily, the door to the top stairwell wasn't locked.

Yan Yan put both hands on the doorknob, controlled her strength, and pressed down bit by bit.

The subtle "click" sound accurately matched Yan Yan's accelerated heartbeat.She tried her best to control the "creaking" sound of the iron door, and opened a small crack.

There was a strong wind on the top floor, almost sucking the iron gate to take Yan Yan out.Yan Yan tried her best to control the size of the opening of the iron door, and the muscles of her forearm were pulled and throbbed.

After completely stabilizing the iron door and relieving some of the pain from a strained arm, Yan Yan leaned in front of the door, looking through the crack of the door to the rooftop on the top floor with one eye.

With a glance, there is nothing on the roof, only the whistling of the wind.

However, Yan Yan still caught the tiny fuzzy figures of the two men farthest from the rooftop.

There was a blind spot not far from her. If she moved quickly and hid there immediately after opening the door, those two people would not find her.

Yan Yan wanted to do it, summoned up her courage, bent over and opened the door and rolled on the ground. Although she was a little embarrassed, that small corner perfectly concealed her figure.

The slight sound of the iron gate was also hidden in the wind.

Yan Yan moved towards the two men little by little, and finally touched the corner wall.She slowly moved her face away from the wall, but the two men who were standing in the distance disappeared.

Yan Yan was shocked, and the panic in her heart reached its peak at this moment.

At the same time, there was a sudden sound of attacking through the air behind him, Yan Yan turned her head, and a burly man wearing Ning Xinghe's clothes but not Ning Xinghe's face came towards Yan Yan's head with an iron bar.

Yan Yan closed her eyes.

The expected pain did not appear, Yan Yan opened her eyes, and a figure with a slightly thin back in front of the burly man suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking the iron rod as thick as her forearm with her forearm.

The arm received such a heavy blow, but the person who came did not utter a cry of pain.He grasped the iron bar with his backhand, swept his legs, and the burly man fell unsteadily to the ground.

Someone came with an iron rod and slammed on the back of the person pretending to be Ning Xinghe. The burly man let out a pain and passed out.

Just as Yan Yan was about to relax, she suddenly remembered that there was more than one man on the rooftop.

She was about to remind this man, but he grabbed her first, blocked her behind, and kicked the man behind the wall who was about to sneak attack, and the man fell to the ground, covered his abdomen and howled.

Then two people who looked like bodyguards ran up from the stairwell, but their target was not Yan Yan, but the bait set by the two Ning Xinghe on the ground.

Ouyang Rong followed closely behind, looking at Lu Ting who was still protecting Yan Yan at the moment.

Lu Ting nodded.Ouyang Rong waved his hands clearly, and the two bodyguards dragged away the people on the ground.

A familiar yet unfamiliar figure stood in front of Yan Yan's eyes.

When she was a seven-year-old girl, she was blocked by gangsters in Wutongli on a street corner. Whether it was because she robbed them of a steamed bun or a steamed bun, Yan Yan couldn't remember.

But she clearly remembered that Lu Ting suddenly appeared in front of her in the same way back then, and helped her bear all the dangers.

Seeing that Ouyang Rong took the two away to deal with, Lu Ting turned around and picked up the peaked cap that Yan Yan dropped in shock from the ground.

He bent over a bit too much, which involved the injury of his right arm.

Lu Ting couldn't help taking a deep breath, trying not to make his expression look like he was enduring pain, handed the hat to Yan Yan, showed a very safe smile, and said, "Miss Xiaoyan, don't be afraid, I am coming."

Yan Yan looked at Lu Ting's pale face in pain, and quietly shook her head.

At this time, Lu Ting's face perfectly coincided with the swollen nasal cavity and face when he was beaten by the gangsters back then, grinning his teeth and enduring the pain, and he wanted to pick up Xiaoyan's snatched food and hand it to her.

Tears burst out uncontrollably in an instant.

Lu Ting panicked, just like ten years ago, after Xiaoyan was rescued by Lu Ting, she couldn't help crying.

Before Lu Ting struggled with how to comfort her, Yan Yan grabbed the hat and pressed it on her face.

She snorted and said, "Go to the hospital and treat the injury."

Lu Ting didn't have time to refuse or accept, but was dragged away by Yan Yan without hesitation.

During the whole process, Yan Yan didn't say a word.Lu Ting peeked at Yan Yan while being wounded by the doctor, but unfortunately Yan Yan's face was completely blocked by the peaked cap.

Lu Ting was warned by the doctor for tightening the gauze because of dishonesty, and he couldn't help crying out in pain.

Only then did Yan Yan take a look at Lu Ting.

She hesitated for a moment, walked up to Lu Ting, took out a fruit candy from her pocket, and handed it to Lu Ting.

Lu Ting was startled, then shook his head, smiled and refused, "I don't like sweets."

Yan Yan was slightly taken aback, and took back the candy.

The doctor took away the medical tray and told Lu Ting to observe in the consulting room for half an hour before leaving.

Only Yan Yan and Lu Ting were left in the whole room.

Yan Yan was fiddling with a piece of candy and said, "I gave you a piece of candy before my adoptive parents and I left. Other children may cry and refuse to let their friends leave, but I know that for you, The comfort of a candy bar is enough."

Lu Ting put his right arm into the sleeve stiffly, and said nonchalantly, "I didn't eat."

The piece of candy was held in his hand for a whole day and night, until his hand was full of syrup, Lu Ting didn't eat it.

Before leaving, Xiaoyan stuffed the candy into Lu Ting's palm and said, "I will never come back to this place again."

As Xiaoyan said before leaving, she didn't even look back once.

When Lu Ting met Xiaoyan since she was five years old, she knew she was a girl with ambitions.

What she said most often is that she has a name, her name is Xiaoyan, she does not belong to No. 27, she is different from other orphans on No. 27, she wants to escape from No. 27, and she wants to break out of her own place when she grows up. world.

Lu Ting thought that he and Xiaoyan would never see each other again, but he did not expect that after more than ten years, each of them would meet again in such identities.

He suddenly wanted to know what Xiaoyan's life was like after leaving No. 27.

"How were you during the years you were adopted?"

"I'm living a good life. I have a pair of adoptive parents who love me very much and dote on my elder brother. It's just..." Yan Yan couldn't continue.

"Just what?"

"It's just that, ten years ago, the adoptive parents passed away unexpectedly, and at the same time, my elder brother...disappeared, and there is no news of it."

Lu Ting's throat suddenly choked. Ten years ago, Yan Yan was only 15 years old.

"Then your life after that..."

"Because I was underage, I was adopted by the local orphanage."

Speaking of this, Yan Yan felt that the phrase "I will never return to this place" that she boasted when she was a child was a joke.

It's just a different city.

She had a wonderful family for a short time, and it was quickly taken away, and she walked into that kind of place again.

So before she found out that the Lu Ting they found was actually her "brother" who lived with her on the 27th, she didn't think there was anything wrong with hating Lu Ting.

However, from the first time she met Lu Ting again, she was shocked and told herself countless times to become cruel, forcing herself to hate Lu Ting, and even forcing herself to tell Qiu Yibei those words that made him realize the reality.

In the end, he still couldn't help being soft-hearted towards Lu Ting.

Lu Ting was silent for a long time, lowered his head and said without emotion: "It seems that the goddess of the moon is really not working."

After so many years of wandering, Yan Yan did not feel sorry for herself so easily.

She shrugged and put on a relaxed expression, and said, "I won't talk about these things anymore. Tell me about you. On the 27th, whenever a family came to adopt a child, you always hid and gave up the chance to be adopted. , until now I don't understand what you think."

"I'm naughty, I like to fight, I don't obey, I'm not consistent, I have a lot of bad habits, so I won't be a burden to those good families."

Yan Yan stared at Lu Ting's gag, but didn't believe a word, she knew that Lu Ting was not telling the truth.Since he didn't want to talk, she didn't ask.

But she still wants to know one thing, she just wants to know this thing, because it is very important to her and Qiu Yibei.

Thinking of this, she also asked: "After we were all adopted and left, how did you enter the Lu family?"

The car accident and explosion that was less than five meters away from him flashed again in Lu Ting's mind. He was in a daze, lost in deep memories, and did not speak.

Yan Yan was about to ask again when Lu Ting's cell phone rang suddenly.

Three words jumped on the screen: Autumn North.

Lu Ting picked it up, but there was no voice from the other end of the phone immediately.Lu Ting was not in a hurry, and just waited with his mobile phone.

After an unknown amount of time, Qiu Yibei finally said, "Lu Ting, don't run away, wait until I find you."

When Lu Ting heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, but he didn't respond to Qiu Yibei, and hung up the phone without saying a word.

Because of the close distance to Lu Ting, Yan Yan heard what Qiu Yibei said.

On the side of Lu Ting's arm that was bleeding from the iron rod, there were some unspeakable but obvious red marks, all of which could be seen in Yan Yan's eyes.

She turned her head away and said, "Boss Qiu is fine."

Yan Yan said this last time, just as Lu Ting was about to remind Yan Yan, Yan Yan said again: "You... are fine too."

Lu Ting didn't know why, so he relieved the embarrassment with laughter: "Sister Xiaoyan, who was always strict with me when I was young, suddenly spoke like this, I am really not used to it."

Yan Yan lowered her head to hide her emotions, and didn't answer Lu Ting's last sentence, but said to herself: "Qiu Yibei is a pretty person, once he finds something or someone..."

Speaking of this, Yan Yan glanced at Lu Ting.

"He will go to the end with one muscle, no matter what obstacles appear in the middle, even until the end of his life, he will never give up."

Lu Ting didn't quite understand what Yan Yan was referring to.

Yan Yan's whole face was hidden under the brim of the hat, but her eyes were beyond the cover, staring at Lu Ting's slightly dazed expression.

She gradually softened her eyes.

There was one more thing she wanted to say, but didn't say:

"Don't hide anymore, this time he chose you, No. 62."
