34. Bye bye, cleaner (final chapter)
34. Bye bye, cleaner (final chapter)
It was just after eight o'clock, and it was not yet the time to fully wake up for this high-end residential area with a slow life away from the hustle and bustle of the city center.
Usually, the exhaust room F before the on-duty hour is always so quiet that not even the sound of a needle falling to the ground can be heard.But today, there were bursts of gurgling and gurgling sounds from the staff locker room—more precisely, the sound came from the shower room attached to the locker room.
This area, which is rarely used, is unified with pure white mosaic tiles to create a neat wall surface, and the floor is paved with durable and non-slip plain gray quartz tiles, which is in line with the overall office design that emphasizes practicality and refreshing style.Now the water vapor permeates the simple cleaning equipment that can be used by five people at the same time. Feet, and a lot of suds, were scrubbed off with the rushing water, which flowed incessantly into the drain holes.
The surveillance camera installed at the entrance of the shower room clearly captured the image of the man using the device during this unusual time.
No matter standing under the shower, letting the water splash on the top of his head, the drops of water dripping from the tail of the wet black hair, how it slid down the white shoulders.Or under the morning light, on his healthy, rosy skin, the transparent water marks reflected what kind of translucent luster.Even his elegant, slender fingers like a pianist, when scraping off the foam around his neck, the suspicious bruises on his earlobe that seemed to be sucked and bitten... These, all, are recorded in detail in the magnetic in the disk memory.
However, high-performance monitors also have details that cannot be recorded.
It’s like what a man hears. Vehicles passing by in twos and threes outside, the sound of tires rolling on the stone slabs, or the chirping of birds talking on the branches, and from time to time blowing through the gap in the exhaust window above the head. The cool morning breeze, the friction sound of dancing leaves.
However, these details are not important to those who are watching the scene.
The red signal on the monitor flickers from time to time, which means that it is converting the image into a zero-to-one signal. Through the packet, adding a security code, and then transmitting it to a nearby black high-end bus through air waves invisible to the naked eye, so In the converted operation center.
Deducting the space of the driver's seat in the front half, the decoration inside the bus looks like a high-tech conference room.On the right hand side is a whole row of monitoring screens, about a dozen large and small.A retractable flat-panel table can be arbitrarily enlarged or reduced by touch, and the angle of the monitor can be changed.
Thanks to these monitors, there is no need to enter the interior of the consumption room F, and you can grasp the movement inside this car.From the entrance porch, the sofa area at the reception, to the various offices and inspection rooms, there is no corner they cannot see.
The two teenagers sitting in front of the tablet table were the only ones in the car who kept their eyes on the screen.
Beside them, stood a group of tall and strong men.Everyone is dressed in dark blue uniforms, reminiscent of the famous naval special forces of a certain country.Their serious expressions seemed to be about to attack a heavily guarded fortress later.For the images projected on the side screen, there is no half-curious peeping sight. All of them keep their eyes straight and look straight ahead. In a relaxed posture, with their hands behind their backs, they stand upright by the bus door, just like a command and an action. Like a robot, waiting for the moment when the order is given.
After the two teenagers discussed in whispers for a while, one of them turned his head and said, "Now, start to act, finish within 5 minutes within the time limit, let's go!"
The men quickly changed from resting to standing at attention, and gave a military salute... without making a sound, they quietly and quickly left the bus to carry out the task entrusted by the youth.

"call……"
The foam and water wash away the stuffiness in the thick black hair, drive away the smell of sweat on the skin, and also take away the residue left in the deep body of the man—and replace it with a refreshing feeling.
Taking a deep breath, Eiji shook his head, turned off the faucet, took down the towel placed on the partition, and stepped out of the shower while wiping his wet face.
"Well……"
Accidentally striding too far, pulling the exhausted muscle in a certain part of the waist, the pain like electric shock almost made him unable to straighten his waist.
"More..." Closing his eyes, enduring the pain of rushing up to the peak to ease himself, Eiji twisted his pale face that was sweating, and muttered: "That frozen tuna full of lies, if I had known it, I would have ignored him, Slaughter him directly into sashimi, at least it can solve the famine and help world peace.”
However, Yingzhi can imagine what kind of proud face Xia Huan will use, bragging and saying "You are reluctant to cut off my fish fat! ~" and other obscene words.No matter what I say, I will definitely not be able to hit that guy's stainless steel grade face.
Not only his face, but the material of that guy's whole body may be different from ordinary people.Because, how can anyone suffer from gunshot wounds and lose a lot of blood, but it doesn't affect the resurrection of the lower body in the slightest?From his point of view, the injury that other people need to lie down for a week to recover, that guy might be able to get out of bed in less than three days.
Yingzhi originally planned to stay with Xia Huan in the exhaust room F during the few days when he was lying on the hospital bed and could not move...Maybe it would be better to reconsider.
"What? You're worried that you won't be able to resist Lin Cup's manly fragrance, and you won't be able to bear the hunger and thirst, so you climbed onto my bed. You raped me?"
Even if he had to endure the loss of being eaten tofu by Xia Huan's words, it would be better than having to endure the pain of muscle pain for the next half month, right?Regardless of whether he was injured or not, if he ignored Xia Huan's lower body integrity, he would always be the one who was unlucky.Yingzhi once again warned himself calmly.
Finally, the soreness subsided a little, and Eiji walked to the locker room.On the way, I suddenly heard a "clang" outside!There was a sound, like the sound of a metal door lock closing.
Frowning, Eiji picked up a large towel to wipe off the water stains on his body while thinking.
Strange, if someone comes to work early, it should be the sound of "opening the door". Why does it sound like the door is closing... Could it be a mistake?Wait a minute, could it be that idiot Xia Huan who got out of bed secretly and ran out!
Throwing off the towel and hastily putting on trousers, Eiji rushed out of the locker room and went to the ward to check.
"summer--"
Standing in front of the ward door, Yingzhi was stunned.
The unlocked door was different from the way he closed it when he left, the door was wide open.One could see at a glance that there was nothing inside the door, and Xia Huan was nowhere to be seen.It was like a thief who had been broken into, stole everything in this room and emptied it all.
But, of course, this can’t be the masterpiece of a thief—it’s okay to steal medical equipment, who would steal the bed and the patient together?
Besides, it was only 15 minutes ago that Eiji left this ward to take a shower.Who can complete this almost impossible task in such a short period of time without making a sound.This wasn't magic, and Eiji was sure he hadn't misunderstood the ward (Washing Room F wasn't big enough to get lost in).
But now is not the time to solve the puzzle. Putting aside the confusion in his mind, Eiji turned around and rushed towards the gate.Although I don't know who took Xia Huan away for what purpose, but...
That damned "frozen tuna" is a patient I just had surgery on, and no one can take him away before his injury is fully healed!
...Based on the professional ethics of a doctor, Yingzhi suppressed his anger, calmly chased out the door, and went downstairs in three steps.
"Hey, Doctor Ouyang...what's the matter, where are you going in such a hurry?"
At the corner of the stairwell, he met Pan Xin who was about to go upstairs, and a man in dark blue overalls whom he didn't know.
"I don't know who took Xia Huan away. I'm going to chase him now and get him back." After explaining briefly, Yingzhi didn't stop.
"Are you going after them barefoot?"
"..." Eiji didn't bother to answer this irrelevant question.
But behind Yingzhi, Pan Xin raised his jaw, and the man who was standing beside him suddenly slid down several steps to block Yingzhi's front, and spread his arms wide to prevent him from passing.
Yingzhi frowned, turned around, and cast a questioning look at Pan Xin.
"Hashimuro is not a heavily guarded place, and among the metropolises in the world, Rome is not considered the top city with good law and order... It is not worth making a fuss about the disappearance of a wanted fugitive from abroad, let alone alerting the police Unless the fugitives want to throw themselves into the trap?" Pan Xin said calmly, "I believe Mr. Xia's personal safety is fine, let's go up and have a cup of tea."
Clam?Invite him to tea at this time?Yingzhi doesn't understand why Pan Xin can be sure that Xia Huan is safe?Unless—there are so many doubts that are connected into a thread at this moment.
"Is Xia Huan's disappearance related to you?" asked coldly.
Pan Xin said again: "Let's talk while drinking tea. For me, the first cup of tea in the morning is absolutely indispensable."
After finishing speaking, he walked up to the second floor.Eiji was left behind, staring at the man in the dark blue uniform.Eiji has no doubt that if he tries to get out of this gate, the other party will use "force" to stop him.Judging from his unremitting vigilant posture when he was standing, he probably has two brushes.
Inherently unwilling to admit defeat, Yingzhi wanted to challenge this person's skills a little bit.But...he looked up at the second floor.
It is more important to figure out what is going on here than to waste time here by trying to compete quickly.
※※※
Crack seven!
If it weren't for the feeling of mosquito bites stirring on his cheeks, the man would really be reluctant to leave this wonderful dreamland where his body is slowly swinging and shaking like a cradle.
Crack seven! !Crack seven! ! !
Even as he slowly opened his eyelids, he wasn't completely willing.Because this mosquito was the most annoying mosquito he had ever seen in his life.When he was stung for the first time, he still tried his best to ignore its existence, but who knew that it would continue to sting the second and third times without giving up, and it was even harder than before.Until he had no choice but to crawl out of his dream, reaching out his hand to stop the stalking mosquito from continuing to harass his lucid dream.
Foreign mosquitoes are fierce.
—and with blond hair and emerald green eyes.
Xia Huan, who was muttering about waking up, raised his eyebrows, clasped the right hand of the blond boy who kept on his cheek, bowing left and right, and yawned loudly.
"... Wocao, this mosquito is really not small."
When the boy saw him wake up, he immediately reprimanded him in English. "Let go of me, idiot, do you still want to make two more holes in your body?" At the same time, he compared his hands to the side.
At the end of Xia Huan's bed, a man in dark blue overalls was holding a gun with an infrared beam emitting from the muzzle, aiming at Xia Huan's forehead impartially.
"Mosquitoes with guns? It's your fault." Xia Huan finished speaking in Chinese with a smile, and let go of her hands. "Hey, you look familiar kid. Have we met somewhere?" Greeted in English again.
After the boy withdrew his hand, he crossed his arms and stared at him coldly with green eyes, as if he regarded him as the lowest creature, and said, "You don't need to care who I am. You just need to know who you are from today onwards." .”
"Clam? Lidigong what?"
Although the boy could not understand his Taiwanese at all, he seemed to have guessed his meaning. With a snap of his fingers, someone pushed a large screen over.
"Oh, you want me to watch a movie?"
The boy walked aside without listening, talking on his mobile phone while waiting for the staff to complete the installation of the ultra-thin screen.
Xia Huan, who was left out for no reason, had no choice but to look around idly.Obviously, I am not in the original ward, this narrow space like a birdcage, the low ceiling, the floor that has been shaking from before to now, and the round, windproof and waterproof heavy windows... This...they are on a ship, right?What happened while he was asleep?Also, the last and most important question, what about the people in Yingzhi?
It took less than 5 minutes and the screen was set up.There are several lines connected to the outside of the cabin, and it is not known where the host is connected.The teenager turned on the power, and the screen lit up within a few seconds, clearly transmitting the image from the other end to them.
"Yingzhi?" Xia Huan looked at the other half on the screen and shouted, "Hey, hey, where have you been?"
The high-resolution screen faithfully reflects Eiji's cold eyes. "It's you who ran away.You're the one missing.
"Huh? I'm only sleeping, how can I run? I didn't promise you that I would make a frozen tuna. I have always kept my promise!"
"Someone took your tuna, what can I do?" Angrily, Eiji's eyes drifted to the black-haired boy beside him. 『I can only wish them good luck for such a reckless move. 』
"Clam, clam, clam? Hey, what you said today is so nonsensical, I can't understand a single word."
"Let me explain. 』
Xia Huan recognized this black-haired Nanyang boy, who seemed to be the boss of Fushi F, the leader of that group of high-spirited boys.Ah, so he also remembered where he had seen this blond boy, and he should also be an accomplice of the black-haired boy.But he couldn't remember the names, anyway, they were all those fart kids who made people want to beat them up as soon as they opened their mouths.
『The F Foundation believes that Dr. Ouyang is a rare talent.But this time, because of Dr. Ouyang's reckless behavior, we have suffered a lot, so we have to punish Dr. Ouyang.In the final analysis, Dr. Ouyang's recklessness comes from the bad elements around him, just like deadly cancer cells, only by removing them can the doctor give full play to his talent to serve us...』
Pan Xin looked directly at Xia Huan and said, "You are the cancer cell that we decided to remove for Dr. Ouyang, Mr. Xia." 』
oops. "I've been scolded a lot in my life, but it's the first time I've been scolded as a cancer cell. Interesting."
"Glad you can keep your humor.I'm also very happy that when I told Dr. Ouyang that, he could accept it calmly. 』
Xia Huan laughed out loud. "Calm? That guy is pissed off now. Don't you see the veins popping out of his forehead?"
"angry?Do I need to be angry when someone comes uninvited and takes out a deadly object for me?I thought about thanking them well for saving my life. 』Across the screen, in the depths of the bright black and white pupils, twinkling stars shone.
Pan Xin cut off their chat and said, "I think God also approves of our plan, so he gave us this great opportunity to separate the two of you effortlessly under a calm, peaceful, and smooth situation." . 』
What he meant was that if Xia Huan hadn't been shot, they would have to spend more time planning to separate Xia Huan and Yingzhi without anyone noticing.Thanks to Xia Huan's shooting, she became much more peaceful, which made it easy for them to arrange it.
"Now Mr. Xia's legs have been equipped with the most advanced high-tech anklets.Your whereabouts are monitored 24 hours a day by satellite... It's a little different from the simple, tiny GPS buried in the ears of the past.The GPS used in the past will lose its signal indoors, but the latest monitor on your feet sends a strong signal, no matter how thick the wall is, it can’t stop it, even if you hide in a nuclear power plant, you can still be locked. 』
"Grass, Lin Cup finally understands how pigeon racing feels." Xia Huan raised her right foot, admired the ugly anklet, and said, "Aren't I a cancer cell? Are you still so afraid of me running away? "
"We have also considered the possibility of silence... But after all, you belong to Dr. Ouyang. If the doctor disagrees, we don't want to make him unhappy. 』
"Hehehe, so Xiao Zhizhi is my talisman?" Xia Huan grinned, clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest and said, "Then why should I worry? Xiao Zhizhi's chrysanthemum is not mine. Irrigated by big eagles, they can’t survive at all.”
"Shut up, Xia Huan. 』
Through an unknown distance, Eiji's murderous intent loomed in front of him.Xia Huan grinned, shrugged and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I will go back and love you soon."
Pan Xin raised his eyebrows. "I'm not finished yet, Mr. Xia.You still have a little special product in your anklet...』
"What? Diamonds or gold?"
"If you are within a radius of one kilometer of Dr. Ouyang, you will explode yourself. The young man released the last trump card in a flat tone and said: "Before the work contract we established with Dr. Ouyang expires, you will be a good meat ticket and a hostage who will keep your own law and order.As soon as the time is up, we will release the two to return to China.This is what we have done for this incident. 』
Xia Huan stared blankly for a second.
Eiji watched him silently from the other side.
"Ahahaha, will I explode as soon as I get close to Xiao Zhizhi? Wow, it must be very hard to clean up the debris now. Fortunately, the cleaner is not me." When she regained her senses, Xia Huan returned to her arrogant smile and applauded With a belly laugh, he said.
"As long as you stay in the residence we arranged for you, we will guarantee you—" Pan Xin frowned, as if he couldn't understand what was funny in it.
Xia Huan didn't see the black-haired boy in his eyes. He stared at Yingzhi and said, "Wait, baby, I will go back before the three-month deadline. Don't cheat on me, I'll know as soon as I check If you dare to let another bird enter my territory, I will roast him to eat."
A sneer formed on Yingzhi's lips, but he remained silent.
"Three months?impossible.You are to stay there until the end of the contract! 』
"Don't worry about me, baby." Xia Huan winked at Yingzhi.
"Enjoy your hostage life, bye bye. 』Eiji gave him a reply in a very light tone, even more indifferent than that given to passers-by, and then he got up and walked out of the office, away from the camera.
Tsk, this shy and awkward guy.
Xia Huan can't wait to plan in her heart, when she hugs her beloved Xiao Zhizhi again in three months, what kind of posture she should use, what kind of romantic place... like on a bed covered with roses , and ultimately to light a few candles.
The teenagers who watched this scene couldn't understand how the man in front of him had the confidence to escape from their palms, but they had already understood a very important thing, that is - this "hostage is so arrogant".
- The cleaners are amazing! END
