"Boss, Happy New Year!"
"The tavern is closed. I'm going home for the New Year. I'll be back after the New Year."
In Kai City, Guizhou Province, countless fireworks were shining in the sky. Lei Yuan squeezed the crowd and walked on the street. Looking at the bright lights around him, every household and every store had Spring Festival couplets and red lanterns, and the lively scene of dragon and lion dances everywhere, he felt very calm.
Today is January 28, 2025, New Year's Eve.
Ding Xiaoyu sent him a text message of New Year's greetings, but Lei Yuan didn't reply.
His memory of the New Year still stayed three years ago, no, it should be four years ago now.
Since his parents in this life were taken away by a mudslide, Lei Yuan has not celebrated any festivals.
For him, these festivals have no meaning at all.
But, looking at the lively and festive scene around him, he suddenly remembered something he opened from a blind box a few days ago.
With a slight curl of his lips, he whispered softly:
"New Year's Eve, of course there must be a New Year's Eve ceremony."
...
"Grandpa, Happy New Year, bring the red envelopes quickly."
In Daxia Kyoto, because today is New Year's Eve, Zheng Guotao, who is busy as the director of the 99th Bureau, rarely gives himself a day off to go home for the New Year's Eve dinner.
However, just when he and his children and grandchildren gathered together to enjoy this rare happy time.
Beep beep~
The work phone specially set up for the affairs of the 99th Bureau rang, and his brows frowned instantly.
This phone usually doesn't ring, but once it rings, it means something big has happened.
The son, daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law next to him saw this scene and immediately understood what was going on, and quickly pulled Zheng Guotao's grandchildren away from him.
At the same time, his wife also got up and took his coat and handed it to him.
Zheng Guotao looked up at his wife.
Without waiting for Zheng Guotao to speak, his wife said:
"No need to say, I understand, go quickly."
Zheng Guotao took the coat, put it on, answered the phone, and walked towards the door.
"What happened?"
"What!"
The voice from the other end of the phone shocked Zheng Guotao, and his pace instantly accelerated, from walking to running, and rushed out of the house in a hurry.
"Quick, immediately notify Xiaobei to rush to Jiangbei Airport as quickly as possible, and urgently mobilize a passenger plane... No, now immediately notify the military region near Jiangbei City, and urgently dispatch a J-20 to Jiangbei Airport, and make sure Xiaobei reaches Kai City, Guangxi Province as quickly as possible."
"Also, just in case, send Qiaoqiao there as well."
"Now, hurry up, take action!"
...
Jiangbei City.
Chu Tian's home.
"Master's wife, I learned a dish recently. I'll cook it for you and Xiaofeng to try."
"Go away, don't come into my kitchen. You cook. I don't want to vomit on New Year's Day."
Luo Xiaobei had no choice but to withdraw from the kitchen. He looked carefree and happy on the surface, but he was actually very lonely inside.
In previous years, he should have been drinking with his master at the table at this moment.
But now...
Luo Xiaobei shook his head vigorously, shaking out the image of himself piercing his master's head through the steel bars in his mind.
It's New Year's Day, think about something happy.
Turning his head to look at a young man sitting on the sofa, about eighteen or nineteen years old, he looked seven points similar to Chu Tian, or simply Chu Tian when he was young.
At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa and watching the Spring Festival Gala silently, but his mind was obviously not on TV.
"Xiaofeng, what are you thinking about?"
Luo Xiaobei walked over, patted his shoulder, and sat next to him.
Chu Feng turned to look at Luo Xiaobei. His eyes made Luo Xiaobei feel a little flustered. He laughed awkwardly twice and was about to speak when Chu Feng suddenly said:
"Brother Xiaobei, my father is the lizard monster you killed, right?"
Luo Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to react. He smiled and said:
"Who told you this? That's my master. If he is really the lizard monster, do you think I can kill him? Don't let your imagination run wild."
"Where is my father now? He is missing. Brother Xiaobei, you can lie to my mother about this, but do you think I will believe it?"
Looking at Chu Feng's eyes staring at him, Luo Xiaobei suddenly felt very familiar, as if he saw the shadow of his master.
After a while, Luo Xiaobei said:
"Okay, I knew I couldn't lie to you. In fact, Master was sent to perform a secret mission. You also know the department I work in now. I can only tell you this much."
"Brother Xiaobei, don't lie to me."
Chu Feng said calmly:
"From the fact that you killed the lizard monster instead of capturing it, I knew it might be my dad."
"I think the mission given to you by the countryThe mission should be to capture rather than kill. What is the reason that makes you give up the mission given to you by the country and kill the lizard monster? "
"Then..."
Luo Xiaobei was getting more and more panicked. Chu Feng's expression at this moment was more and more like Chu Tian, as if nothing could escape his eyes.
"It was just an accident."
"Accident?"
Chu Feng said lightly:
"It's not impossible, but there is a more reasonable situation, that is, the lizard monster is my father. You know how he will be treated if he is captured. He has already become an irrational monster. Once captured, he will have to undergo various studies by the country. If I were you, I would kill him directly, which would at least relieve some of his pain, right?"
"You...Xiaofeng, when did you become so imaginative? "
Luo Xiaobei was panicking, and smiled awkwardly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Don't worry, Brother Xiaobei. I don't blame you. If it were me, I would do the same, and there would be no estrangement between us. You will always be my Brother Xiaobei, but I hope you can tell me who the culprit is?"
Luo Xiaobei was silent. He knew that Chu Feng no longer suspected that the lizard monster was Chu Tian, but was sure of it.
It was meaningless to lie to him again.
But he couldn't tell him who the culprit was. He knew what kind of person Chu Feng was. If he knew the existence of 001, he would definitely find ways to take revenge.
For his safety, Luo Xiaobei couldn't tell him.
"Xiaobei, Xiaofeng, it's time to eat."
At this time, Chu Tian's wife Liu Ling came out of the kitchen with dishes, and Luo Xiaobei stood up instantly:
"Hey, here it is."
"Let's go, Xiaofeng, it's time to eat. "
While saying this, he fled into the kitchen to help his mistress serve the dishes.
After that, Chu Feng did not ask any more questions, and did not show any abnormality in front of Liu Ling, as if the conversation between him and Luo Xiaobei did not exist at all.
This made Luo Xiaobei feel relieved. He was really afraid that Chu Feng would get to the bottom of it, especially that Liu Ling would notice something unusual.
Fortunately, Chu Feng did not want his mother to know about these things.
Finally, the New Year's Eve dinner began.
However, just as Luo Xiaobei was about to eat, the work phone of the 99th Bureau rang.
Luo Xiaobei frowned instantly.
At this time, the work phone of the 99th Bureau rang. There is no need to think that something big must have happened!
