Chapter 69 Time Tunnel

East District [-], the third day of the Lunar New Year, ten o'clock in the evening.

In the bustling city under the snowy night, the rollers of the suitcase knocked slightly on the sidewalk.The woman walked into a high-end hotel with high heels and luggage.

As soon as she entered the door, a young man in a leather jacket and a wool cap came up to her.

The man's thick eyelashes were covered with snowflakes, and his eyes were serious and clear.

"What about things?"

"Don't worry, it's in the bag."

The temperature in Stockholm was too low, and Tang Tang didn't wear too much down. Even though he was wearing a mask, he couldn't help sneezing.

"Please come over from Hong Kong City." He took out the bank card in his hand and showed the woman a glance. "Help me finish this matter, and I won't look for you again in the future."

"It's a deal, just remember to pay the balance, Mr. Ai."

Women were as tall as him in high heels.She gathered her shawl and shook the snow off it.

She left her luggage at the front desk, only carrying a red leather bag.There was a look of displeasure in Tang Tang's eyes, which seemed to be urging.The other party was not in a hurry, stepped forward, and took his arm.

Tang Tang struggled a bit.

"Didn't you mean pretending to be a husband and wife?" The woman's mouth with maroon red lipstick rose slightly, "Of course we have to be watertight when we act with you. But, how do we prove our identity? Although it is said that we are pretending to be Tang Xingguo's grandson and grandson, but... "

"I have a solution." Tang Tang interrupted her, pulled the mask subconsciously, "Let's go."

The sky is full of stars, but the lights of the city are brighter.

The two waited on the side of the street for a long time but did not see a taxi. Tang Tang sneezed several times in a row, and the tip of his nose was red from the cold.

He didn't tell anyone that he was coming to Northern Europe, and naturally it was inconvenient to bring thicker clothes.

Looking at the young couple passing by, Tang Tang's expression darkened, and he buried his face in the thin scarf.After waiting for about 10 minutes, I finally got a taxi.

After getting in the car, the woman reported the bank address first, then leaned half on Tang Tang's shoulder and stopped talking.

The bright lights flashed across Tang Tang's face all the way, but his hand holding the bank card was slightly sweating, and he looked out of the window with a restless face.

"Can I ask you a question?"

The woman raised her eyes and stared at him with mature and beautiful eyes.

Tang Tang glanced at her and saw the dark circles under her eyes covered by her foundation.

"Mr. Ai, you need to be honest, so that we can cooperate successfully." She opened the bag and took out a bunch of things from it.

The thing can be wrapped with one hand, and it is wrapped with several layers of old newspapers, so it is impossible to tell what is inside.The woman's red-painted nails slowly peeled it off, revealing a silvery horn.

"Don't take it out." Tang Tang stretched out his hand to hold her down, speaking Hong Kong dialect, "What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, just confirm our plan." The woman wrapped the things casually. "First, we pretended to be Tang Xingguo's grandson and grandson-in-law to enter the bank, used his card to open the box with the watch, and then used this..."

She patted the thing wrapped in newspaper through the leather bag, "drop the bag."

The night wind was whistling, and the taxi driver was humming to the radio.He couldn't understand what the people in the back seat were saying and thought it was just a young couple flirting.

"Yes." Tang Tang helped her zip it up, "With your professional quality, you can't go wrong."

The woman stared at his hands that were red with cold, thought for a while, then raised her head and asked, "Can I see your passport?"

Tang Tang ignored her, took out two fake passports from his pocket, and threw them on the bag.

The passports are very realistic, one with the name "Ai Xing" and the other with "Lu Xiaoxing".

"It's not this one. It's a fake, I want to see it's real." Half-jokingly, the woman took out the "Lu Xiaoxing" passport and stuffed it into her bag.

Tang Tang didn't look at her, but turned to look out the window.

The pedestrian street is brightly lit, and there is thick snow in front of street lamps and shop windows.Tang Tang rolled down the car window, and a snowflake blew onto his eyelashes, turning into water.

Pop music was playing on the car radio, and Tang Tang tapped his fingers on the window sill, making a rhythmic tapping sound.

A woman's voice sounded behind her.

"Are you Tang Tang?"

Tang Tang's fingers paused for a moment.After a while, he rolled up the car window, and the street lights were cut off from the car.

He turned to look at the people around him. "You just mind your own business."

The woman grinned, and she reached out to grab Tang Tang's mask, but was blocked by the other's arm.

"Mr. Tang Tang," the woman said with a smile, rubbing her fingers, "Your eyes are so beautiful, I see them in newspapers all day long, and I can't help but recognize you."

Tang Tang's eyes darkened, and he was silent for a while.

"Don't ask too much, I won't let you do anything illegal." He said calmly, "I just got what will belong to me in advance."

"That pocket watch?" the woman asked, "You let my colleagues monitor it inside and outside the bank for several months, and it was just for an antique."

Tang Tang leaned on the seat, pinched the mask on the bridge of his nose quietly, and did not answer the woman's question.

After driving for more than 20 minutes, we gradually moved from the bustling business district to the administrative business street.The government affairs building was hidden in the night, but the lights of the bank branch across the street were still on.The Nordic-style building is covered with snow, and the thick stone pillars at the door are engraved with simple patterns and the name of the bank.

Tang Tang tipped the driver and got out of the car first.

"A big bank open 24 hours for senior members." The woman put on her red satchel and gathered her shawl. "I am familiar with the structure of this bank."

She got out of the car, took out the thing wrapped in the newspaper from her bag, and quietly put it in her pocket.

"Let's go."

Tang Tang took the initiative to take her arm, opened the door and entered the bank.

Thousands of kilometers away, Niagara, twelve noon.

In the dim store covered with vines, the thin old woman had an extremely tired expression on her face, and she looked helplessly at the young man sitting in the reclining chair.

"Well... I used to be a psychiatrist. But I had some medical accidents, and I can't get along in Hong Kong City..."

She looked at Lu Yuxing with some embarrassment.

Lu Yuxing lay on the recliner with his eyes closed, took out a few more banknotes from his wallet, and put them on the table beside him.

"Just treat me as your former patient." He glanced at the frowning old woman. "There are some very important things that I need to remember."

The old woman had been tortured by him for a whole night, and she had put away her nagging routine. "You said that you have suffered from severe depression and anxiety in the past. It is normal for this disease to affect memory."

Lu Yuxing glanced at her, turned his head and lay down, and closed his eyes again.

The dim chandelier swayed, a gust of wind blew in, and the wind chimes made a crisp sound.The old woman sighed and took out her hypnotic set.

"Okay, let me give it a try."

The snow outside the mall has just melted, the sun is just right, and the Niagara waterfall is frozen in the ice and snow.

Lu Yuxing lay in this closed space, the sound of the wind chime gradually changed into the music of the sprinklers on the streets of Hong Kong City.

——The house on Jinning Road stands quietly in the silence, and a beam of light leaks in from the open backyard side door.

Lu Yuxing lay powerlessly on the sofa, and saw the beam of light under the door gradually widen, and finally poured into a large area of ​​sunlight in the courtyard.

A foot wearing a leather shoe suddenly came in from behind the door, and he struggled to stay awake. When he looked up, he saw a familiar but unfamiliar face.

It was a man in his 30s.He was wearing a high-end suit and carrying a briefcase in his hand, as if he had just returned from get off work in the company.But his footsteps were very light, and after entering the door, he turned his face and looked around, like a thief picking a lock to come in.

He looked around for a while, and finally saw the sleeping man on the sofa in the living room, his tensed shoulders finally relaxed a little.He stood against the light, nimbly avoiding the shattered glass, and walked around to the sofa.

The light in the room was too dim, and Lu Yuxing didn't see his face clearly until he approached.

The 37-year-old Tang Tang is still handsome and beautiful, his eyes are clear and round. Compared with the man Lu Yuxing knew, his facial lines are more mature.

He was wearing an ironed suit, but he looked like a boy, with emotions written all over his face.

Lu Yuxing's heart beat like a drum, but he couldn't make a sound.

"It's okay...it didn't fall to the head..."

Tang Tang in front of him stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and quickly withdrew his hand.He sighed, and quietly wiped his eyes as he lowered his head.

In the silent villa, blood, glass, vases, and petals shattered all over the floor. Lu Yuxing was lying on the sofa, and Tang Tang was kneeling in front of him, with a choked sob in his throat.

He bowed and put the white pills on the ground back into the medicine bottle one by one, and then took out many of the same pills from his coat pocket as if by magic, filling up the missing ones in the bottle.

"Fortunately, I changed all these things in advance..."

When he looked up again, his eyes were already moist.

He wiped the cuts on Lu Yuxing's face and hands, and stuffed all the used tissues into his bag, as if no one had ever been there.Before leaving, he couldn't help touching Lu Yuxing's pale lips, and forced a smile.

"Good night, Brother Lu. I'll see you next time."
