Salvation and redemption

Chapter 21

one year later

Chen Yingxiong stood on the stage and put on a well-tailored suit. He seemed to lose a little of his wretched appearance and a little more refined. He looked high-spirited in front of the audience and reporters.

On the screen behind him was written "ICome with the Rain Global Audience Meeting No. 13 Station Tokyo". Underneath that line was the poster of the movie, and beside him were the three protagonists who starred in the movie.

"Director Chen, may I ask why you came up with the idea of ​​making this movie?"

"Director Chen, what's your opinion on the three protagonists in the play?"

"Director Chen, this film has been shortlisted for the International Film Competition this time, what do you think?"

"Director Chen, and another leading actor seems to have never shown up. It is rumored that because Director Chen's filming requirements are too strict, he was constantly injured during the process and was unable to attend the meeting. Is there such a thing?"

"Director Chen..."

The reporter's questions were all similar, and Chen Yingxiong's answers followed a fixed pattern, and the answers were already fluent. For Chen Yingxiong, this was the most dreaming moment in his life.

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------

Taking a special car back to the hotel, Chen Yingxiong entered the room and closed the door. Then, he turned on the computer and pressed the video call button.

On the screen was an extremely pale face, accompanied by a violent cough.

It is "Shi Tao".

"Ahem...do you have any clues?" "Shi Tao" stared at him and asked.

Chen Yingxiong grimaced, shook his head and said, "There is no news yet."

"Shi Tao" on the opposite side of the screen looked gloomy, and said to Chen Yingxiong word by word, "Don't forget, you and I are a community of destiny. If something happens to me, your glorious days will come to an end."

"Yes, yes, I know, I am looking for you from place to place—"

Before Chen Yingxiong finished speaking, the other party unilaterally cut off the communication.

Chen Yingxiong stood up and sat down on the bed, turned on the TV, and the meeting just now was broadcasting on the TV, Chen Yingxiong heard his own voice:

"...This is just a rumor. In fact, the leading actor disappeared after the filming, just like at the beginning of the film, so this will also be one of the gimmicks of this film. I don't know if any audience will volunteer to become the private detective in the film. ..."

Chen Yingxiong changed the channel in an instant, and at the same time "cut" and muttered, "If you find it like this, there will be a ghost... Anyway, once is enough, I should be satisfied... What does your life and death have to do with me... "

As if he was hypnotizing himself, he immediately took off the tie he had been wearing all day, and lay down on the big soft bed, enjoying everything he had right now.

Five years later

After finally sending Nanase and her assistant away, and setting up little Li Shi, Mayang and Li Shi collapsed on the sofa, but at the same time, full of happiness seemed to overflow from the bottom of their hearts, full of the whole In the same room, Mayang lay quietly on Li Shi's body, without speaking, the two of them seemed to be able to sense it at the same time.

Although the kitchen and bathroom were messed up, Mayang didn't bother to get up and clean up. She buried her face in Li Shi's neck and enjoyed the quiet time between them comfortably.

In the quiet time and space, the screen of the computer on Li Shi's exclusive computer desk suddenly lit up, and then a mechanical voice came from inside:

"Do you want to install a 5D printer?"

"Yes."

"Successful installation."

"downloading……"

"downloading……"

"Download complete."

"Printing data soon..."

"Start successfully."

Just after this sound, the drawer of the computer desk slowly opened, and the chair was gently pushed to the wall...

With a "bang", it seemed that something extremely heavy fell to the ground, waking up the two people on the sofa.

Li Shi's first reaction was to protect Mayang, blocking between the source of the sound and Mayang, and at the same time raised his hands crossed in front of him, aiming at the blurry black shadow in front of him.

"Lloyd!" It was not the first time that Mayang was frightened like this. In fact, she had been waiting for this voice to appear. Li Shi couldn't help being taken aback, put down his hand, and glanced at the man in the black suit.

"Lloyd?" Li Shi actually met Lloyd formally for the first time. The previous time Lloyd was in a coma, and the two had never met face to face. At this moment, he saw Mayang rushing over, so he stepped forward step by step. , quietly looked up.

Lloyd glanced at Mayang, nodded at her, and saw Li Shi behind Mayang, and immediately said to Li Shi, "Thank you for saving Xiaoyaowan, Professor Mo Dao Li Shi."

Hearing this, Li Shi quickly waved his hands and said, "No, it's nothing..."

"In short, I should thank you." Lloyd stared at Li Shi, and said solemnly. There seemed to be other meanings behind his words, but Lloyd didn't say all of them.

Li Shi kept shaking his head, looking extremely embarrassed, then thought for a while and said, "So... I also want to thank you, you are the one who protected Mayang..."

Lloyd also shook her head, and was about to say something, but Mayang on the side was already annoyed by the seriousness of the two people thanking each other, she waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's get down to business, Lloyd's past five years What happened to you? Where is the little pill? You reappeared in front of us, shouldn't there be any serious problems?"

But Lloyd said to Mayang, "Sorry, I have to find someone first before I tell you this."

Seeing the worried look in his eyes, Mayang immediately understood, "Is it Shi Tao?"

Lloyd nodded.

At this time, Mayang took out a letter from a drawer of the bookcase and handed it to Lloyd, "This is what he left before he left. His injury was not healed at that time. This letter should be written with his left hand."

Lloyd took the letter and glanced down, Mayang asked again, "Do you have a clue?"

"Probably, I left first." Lloyd left these words and disappeared with the letter. Mayang faced the air for a long time before finally realizing the fact that Lloyd had recovered.

"That's great!" She jumped up, and immediately put her arms around Li Shi's neck, then turned her face and kissed him hard on her lips.

"Hmm..." Before Li Shi could speak, her lips were sealed by her kiss, so the "um" sound dragged on for a long time...

Klein was recording something on paper by the flickering candlelight. Suddenly, the candlelight flickered violently, and a black shadow appeared in front of Klein.

He was taken aback, then raised his head and couldn't help being surprised.

"Lloyd!"

Lloyd looked at him and asked, "Shi Tao, do you know his whereabouts?"

Klein shook his head, "Since he left the orphanage last time, he hasn't come back."

"Really..." Lloyd murmured, he had already searched all the places where Shi Tao might appear, but he still couldn't find him, so where would he be?No... what happened?

Lloyd became more and more worried, but he didn't know where else to look, so he asked Klein, "You said the last time he left the orphanage, when exactly?"

Klein recalled, "It has been five full years, and I couldn't help but go to the mine owner's villa to find him, and after learning that he was rescued by you."

Lloyd was silent, but Klein asked, "Didn't you save him? Why are you looking for him now?"

Lloyd didn't know where to start, but in the face of Klein who had been looking for Shi Tao, he decided to tell him everything and listen to his opinion, which might be helpful to find Shi Tao.
