Jianning City.
Amber Mountain Villa, District 9, Block 2.
It was raining, and the pavement was watering under the flagstones, and the passing of traffic made a swishing sound; the smoke and the rain clung together, and the world was steaming with dizzying exhaust fumes.
A short and fat old man in a dark gray trench coat, holding a briefcase under his arm and holding a large black umbrella, walked into a brightly lit convenience store below the residential area.
It was lunchtime, and the store was deserted. The owner was busy with something. Only his child was behind the cashier, doing his homework and looking after the store. The old man closed the umbrella laboriously, shook off the water droplets, and asked kindly, "Little friend?"
The little boy bit the end of his pen and looked up.
"Where's your father?"
The child pointed behind him.
"Help me call your father over. Tell him that the uncle who borrowed something important two days ago is here." The old man patted the little boy's head with his rough and broad palm. "Go."
The little boy looked at him from head to toe, jumped off the bench in confusion, and ran to the back door of the small supermarket.
The old man was not in a hurry. He put the briefcase that he had been holding tightly on the counter and opened it. He took out a silver-gray portable hard drive. Just then, the store's glass door slid open again. The wind and rain outside mixed with moisture and cold swept in — a new customer had arrived.
“？”
The old man's hand paused, and he was about to put the portable hard drive back into the briefcase. Unexpectedly, such a subtle movement was interrupted. A slender, fair hand reached out from behind him and pressed the old man's hand with unquestionable precision.
"Let me see it too, Director Lu."
Every word was said gently, but Director Lu's face twitched and his pupils constricted. He then turned to look at the newcomer.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's continue tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow!"
Qin Chuan waved goodbye to his colleagues and drove through the crowded evening rush hour traffic. After more than an hour, he finally drove home and rushed into the elevator in the rain.
Ding!
Qin Chuan walked out of the elevator and was about to open the door when he suddenly paused.
"…" He looked at the familiar unit number 527 in front of him. For some reason, his heart constricted irregularly. For a few seconds, he could not even breathe, as if he had a premonition.
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He slowly unlocked the door and pushed it open with a squeak.
The lights in the living room were not turned on. The last bit of sunlight and street lights shone through the glass windows, outlining the familiar furniture with light gray shadows. The coat that he had hurriedly thrown on the arm of the sofa before he left in the morning was still there. There was a half-empty cup of cold tea on the dining table. The goldfish in the fish tank on the coffee table suddenly swayed their tails, reflecting the clear water. The black-and-white portrait of the woman was placed on the refrigerator, facing the entrance, revealing a familiar face.
A slender figure stood with his back to the door, scrutinizing the portrait. He heard the sound of him entering but did not turn around.
"If you bring a tuft of Yue Guangping's hair back and bury it with your mother, are you sure she will be happy?"
Qin Chuan let out a long sigh. It was as if the Stone Array Tactics that had been stuck in his chest for more than ten years had finally turned into white mist and dissipated in the air.
"She will be happy, I think." He replied with a smile.
Qin Chuan closed the door with a click. He took off his coat and threw it on the sofa. He stretched his shoulder muscles a few times. There was a clear crisp sound of bones under his shirt. In sharp contrast, his expression was still very polite.
"I've heard of your name for a long time, but I've never met you before. Hello, Jiang Detachment."
The young man turned around. It was Jiang Stops.
This was actually a very ridiculous and ridiculous meeting, but the specific meaning was probably as ironic as Qin Chuan's sentence, "I've heard of your name for a long time, but I've never met you before." In this world, only the two of them could understand it.
Qin Chuan seemed to find it very interesting, "Did you go to my mother's hometown to visit her?"
"In order to confirm my guess about your background, yes. Fortunately, I know a little about Yue Guangping's whereabouts when she went to the countryside more than thirty years ago. "Jiang Stops asked faintly," Do you want to know where you were exposed? "
Qin Chuan gestured for him to speak.
