That night, Huang Ting still gave her a phone number. This number was stored in the address book. In order to prevent it from being looked up at ordinary times, she marked the name as XXX, so that it would naturally come to the end. But in fact, she memorized it after just one glance. Covering one's ears and stealing the bell is nothing more than that. Two years later. Mei Mei was sitting in a simple lounge at a gas station in Inner Mongolia. The dirty glass was covered with water mist, and outside, there was a veritable heavy snowfall. "Other people hug their wives at night, but people like us just hug the steering wheel at night," two truck drivers complained. "It's a snowy night, and the road tomorrow will be very rough." After sitting for more than half an hour, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she got up and pushed open the wooden door of the lounge and walked to the snow-covered steps. Will he come? The collar of his black winter suit was pulled down to the tip of his nose. "Is that friend of yours really here?" Xiao Cai ran out behind him and asked tremblingly. "Maybe?" Mei Mei was unsure. On the phone just now, she spoke confusingly and hung up after asking for the address. She waited until her legs were numb, and she still looked out the door with her last glimmer of hope. Another half hour passed, and I could no longer feel my fingertips. I wanted to go back, but I was unwilling to do so. Just when Xiao Cai ran out for the fourth time, pale car lights shone in from the snow, and the snow-covered off-road vehicle drove in, stopped directly in front of the steps without going around in circles. The half-opened window was completely rolled down. The person in the driver's seat was wearing a thick black cotton coat similar to a special police | operational | combat uniform, but in casual clothes and wearing a hat of the same color. His face could not be seen clearly in the night. Recognize him. "boarding." This was the first thing he said after not seeing each other for two years. Mei Mei ran to the car window: "The owner of the gas station asked us to go to the grassland first..." "Get in the car." Yin Jun repeated without any emotion | color. Meili Sanran turned around and called Xiao Cai, asking the remaining three men who were sheltering from the wind to come out. Everyone got in the car, and the four people occupied the back. Naturally, they left the passenger seat to Gui Xiao. She hesitantly got into the car, pulled the seat belt and fastened it. Before she could buckle it, Yin Jun had already stepped on the accelerator and drove away. He still has the habit of keeping the car windows open no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter. The winter night wind blew in, making the people in the back seat shiver and dare not say anything. "Can the car window be closed?" Mei Mei was so cold that she couldn't hold her tongue straight. Yin Jun glanced at her sideways and closed the window. When the glass slowly rose up and stuck to the highest point, blocking the wind and snow outside the car, everyone in the back seat breathed a sigh of relief. But I couldn’t help but mutter, Gui Xiao’s “friend” is too cool... Xiao Cai and the others are engaged in foreign trade business, and Mei Mei has invested in their company. This time I made a large logistics order. The goods were to be delivered to a logistics distribution center on the border of Henan, and then sent to Henan as early as possible. Xiao Cai and the others took the opportunity to drive and follow them to talk about the cashmere products business. This matter itself has nothing to do with happiness, but when she heard the word "Henan", she became restless. So, I followed. Last night, when a snowstorm hit, they took temporary refuge at a gas station, and Xiao Cai's off-road vehicle was lost. The owner of the gas station was helpless, but he still gave them advice conscientiously. There was an unwritten rule here. Car thieves will throw their stolen cars on the grassland not far away. They have all brands, Gan A and Gan H are the most common, and they are thrown in densely packed areas without anyone watching. Waiting to sell. The gas station owner asked them to find his car secretly, and then call the police to claim it together. This is the fastest way. Xiao Cai thought it was feasible, but Gui Xiao suggested that he could find a friend to help, and he was right here. Mei Mei also doesn’t know whether he has retired from the army or not. Is he a special police officer or an armed police officer? In short, it is a profession that can help. The car drove for more than half an hour in the heavy snow and stopped on the snowy grassland. There were many cars with heavy snow on their bodies, as well as large and small haystacks. At a glance, they were all stolen goods... "Wait a moment, my local friend will ask." He stopped the car and said the second sentence. Then, he pushed the door open and went down. Xiao Cai raised his head in the back seat and said over Meimei's shoulder: "You friend, you are so cold, I was so scared that I didn't even dare to say thank you." Gui Xiao looked at him through the car window, standing at the front of the car, lowering his head in the wind and snow. He put his hand around the fire to light a cigarette and said, "He's always been like this."
