Cheng Cheng and the Cicada

Chapter 121 East Sea 007

Looking at the crumpled bouquet of flowers before her, Zhao Yingjun blinked, caught off guard.

But then...

She chuckled softly, her eyes instantly softening, and took the nearly collapsing bunch of flowers with both hands:

"This is quite a surprise."

Zhao Yingjun looked at the dilapidated roses with interest, smiling as she lifted and lowered them one by one, shaping all the flowers into a beautiful arc.

This was the most relaxed smile Lin Xian had ever seen.

She was always so busy,

Always frowning,

Always thinking about this and that.

She was like a robot.

Organized and never making mistakes.

But this moment of Zhao Yingjun...

She really smiled beautifully, like a 24-year-old woman.

Another evening breeze blew past, and her shoulder-length hair swayed with translucent blue earrings, reflecting the moonlight, fragmented like a galaxy.

After admiring them for a while, Zhao Yingjun looked up and smiled at Lin Xian:

"This might be the most special birthday gift I've ever received."

"It's good you don't mind it."

Lin Xian smiled:

"It certainly can't compare to the ones you used to receive."

Zhao Yingjun was a noble lady from a prestigious family. The love she received at home was probably no less than that of Chu Anqing.

The birthday gifts she received from childhood must have been unimaginably luxurious and valuable.

"Gifts from the past..."

Zhao Yingjun turned her head, looked at the rippling water on the riverbank, and the swaying Oriental Pearl Tower reflected in it, and shook her head:

"I really don't have much of an impression, there were too many."

She blinked, retracting her gaze from the water:

"But I should remember this bouquet for a long time."

"Let's go."

She turned around briskly, her hair sweeping a semicircle in the air.

Carried by the wind.

Was the unique floral fragrance of shampoo.

And...

The sound of high heels walking towards the police car.



The police quickly found the thug and the shotgun that had been thrown away.

The thug was lucky, falling from the overpass without any major injuries... but thinking about his crimes today, he wouldn't be getting out for at least ten or eight years.

A special tow truck towed away the wrecked Bentley Continental GT, and the police car took Zhao Yingjun and Lin Xian back to the station to take statements.

"What, you two again?"

The police officer was surprised to see these two familiar faces when he came in.

Lin Xian looked up...

And found that this police officer was Officer Liu, whom Xu Yun had seen at the hospital that night.

He was the one who took their statements at that time.

"You two... don't have some kind of special constitution, do you?"

Officer Liu opened his notebook and sat down opposite them.

"Are you talking about... a Conan constitution?"

"Yes, yes! I think that's the name." Officer Liu smiled:

"I'm just joking, don't take it seriously, just consider it lightening the mood. As a police officer, I still hope that we meet as little as possible... after all, meeting with a profession like ours is generally not a good thing."

Officer Liu asked about the specific situation, and the two answered truthfully. The statements were quickly completed.

"Alright."

*Pa*, Officer Liu closed his notebook and stood up:

"Then there's nothing else. We've left your contact information, and we'll contact you if there are any further developments."

"But I advise you to be careful during this period... don't go to dangerous places. It's possible there might be retaliation, no one can say for sure. If we find out there is danger in our follow-up investigation, we will notify you in time."

The two nodded and left the police station.

At the door, Zhao Yingjun's driver had been waiting for a long time in an Elfa van.

"Get in, Lin Xian, I'll take you home first."

"Okay."



By the time he got home, it was almost dawn.

Lin Xian twisted his strained waist, took a hot shower, lay on the bed, and looked at the ceiling.

Recalling the scene of driving the Bentley flying over the overpass...

At that moment, he really couldn't tell the difference between dream and reality.

Perhaps it was this kind of no-holds-barred gamble that made such a crazy flying car plan succeed.

In that situation, any hesitation would have led to a car crash and death.

Lin Xian blinked.

The light of the rising sun cut into the room like a blade through the gap in the curtains...

He remembered the scene when he and Zhao Yingjun were leaning on the railing chatting.

For some reason...

Zhao Yingjun at that time talked to him about her family, her parents, and her original intention for starting a business.

She had never talked about these things in the company, even those founding veterans and vice presidents who had followed her all the way knew very little about her situation.

But she only told him.

Was this a kind of trust?

"At least... the relationship has gotten a lot closer."

"Let's take it slow."

Turn off the lights and sleep.



The next day at noon, Lin Xian was woken up by the ringtone of his mobile phone.

The caller ID was Gao Yang.

"Hello?" Lin Xian answered the phone, still sleepy.

"Donghai 007!!"

"Get lost."

"James Bonxian!!"

"I'm going to hang up if there's nothing else..."

"Don't, don't, don't! Don't you know you're famous?"

Lin Xian sighed helplessly:

"How could I not know? I saw it when I woke up this morning..."

When Lin Xian got up to go to the bathroom in the morning, many of the group chats he was in had exploded. Several short videos comparable to Hollywood action blockbusters were spreading like wildfire in various group chats.

Some were from a surveillance perspective, some were from a bird's-eye view from a high-rise building, and some were from an仰拍 perspective from below the overpass.

Although the shooting angles were different, the content of the videos was all the same—

A handsome blue Bentley Continental GT convertible, flying across the Donghai suburban overpass under the moonlight.

And the video with the most likes and the widest spread was taken under the overpass.

Although the video was still a bit blurry overall, it could be roughly seen that there was a man and a woman sitting in the convertible.

According to the uploader, he was taking moonscape photos for his girlfriend at the time. Because the moon was very round and bright that night, he wanted to take a beautiful photo of his girlfriend with the moon as the background.

By chance, this "famous scene" was born.

Because Apple phones have a few seconds of video playback function for photos, he directly released the video:

A roaring blue Bentley convertible roared out of the east side of the overpass! Soaring in a parabola in the sky!

Just right, the full moon in the night sky became a beautiful background board. Reflected behind the men and women in the sports car, it was as spectacular as a movie poster, as romantic as a fairy tale, and as passionate as a famous anime scene.

The comments below were also full of various memes:

"Damn! Donghai City has a 007! James Bond is here!"

"Annual Oscar Best Picture "Flying Over Donghai."

"Is this the real "The Knockout"? Then what is that fish seller who just released yesterday?"

"Donghai has its own Hollywood!"

"Hiss... what are these men and women doing? Risking their lives to woo girls? Did she finally confess?"

"The 7 million Bentley Continental GT, a 12-cylinder beast engine is for you to play like this?"

Various

Under the impetus, the code name Donghai 007 was completely popular.

Fortunately, it was at night, and the various videos were not very clear, so it was impossible to see who was sitting in the car.

But... for people who knew Lin Xian and recognized the car, it was definitely impossible to hide it.

In Gao Yang's words:

"We've known each other for so long, I can recognize you even if you turn into ashes! Even if you put a mosaic on it, I can squint my eyes and recognize you through those color blocks!"

"I'm going to hang up if there's nothing else."

"There is something! Ask you about going home for the New Year."

On the other end of the phone, Gao Yang stopped joking and said seriously:

"Go home by yourself this year, I won't go with you."

"What's wrong?"

"Something happened at my hometown. An uncle died yesterday, and I have to go back today... So I just took a vacation directly, and it will continue until the Spring Festival, and then come back when class starts on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year."

"Then your vacation is really not short..."

Lin Xian yawned and didn't care.

Donghai and their hometown of Hangzhou were not far away.

Since something happened to Gao Yang's family, he could go back first. There was no need for two people to get together.

"Then go back first, I have to go to the company in the afternoon, so I won't see you off."

"Okay, don't forget the class reunion! The class reunion on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year!"

Gao Yang reminded with a smile:

"You don't know... many female classmates who have been contacted asked me about your current situation! And asked me if you have a girlfriend!"

"Hehe, take it easy at the class reunion!"

After speaking, Gao Yang hung up the phone.

Lin Xian looked at the calendar.

January 15, 2023.

The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.

There were still six or seven days before the Spring Festival. Gao Yang went back early enough.

The date of the high school reunion was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

It was still early.

Ding dong.

Just after putting down his phone, WeChat rang again.

He picked it up and looked at it, and it turned out to be a message from Chu Anqing.

Chu Anqing: [Video]

Chu Anqing: Senior Lin Xian! That's you and Sister Zhao Yingjun, right! I've seen Sister drive that blue car!

Lin Xian didn't even need to open the video... he had seen the cover of the moonlight, Bentley, and overpass countless times.

He typed to explain the situation to Chu Anqing.

Chu Anqing expressed shock:

"This... this is more exciting than filming a movie. No wonder everyone says you are Donghai 007! By the way, Senior, are you good at driving?"

"I can drive a little."

"Hahaha! Can you take me to experience it too?"

"Then you have to ask if that Bentley agrees first."

"What does Bentley say?"

"Bentley is dead."

"..."

After ending the chat with this little happy fruit, Lin Xian packed up and went to work.

The company was also like a炸锅, and everyone was discussing the "Donghai 007" and "Flying Over Donghai" incident.

They had all seen this car in the underground parking lot, so they naturally guessed that Zhao Yingjun and Lin Xian were sitting in the car.

So as soon as Lin Xian entered the door, he felt that everyone was looking at him strangely, with sly smiles on their faces.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Xian felt uncomfortable being stared at by this kind of gaze.

"Awesome."

Brother Wang from the market team came over and patted Lin Xian on the shoulder, with a face full of admiration:

"You are really awesome! President Zhao has never been late for work in so many years... but today you made her absent."

"What do you mean by I made her absent? I'm also a victim..."

Yesterday, the thug poked Lin Xian several times with the barrel of his gun, and his scalp still

It hurts a little.

"President Zhao went to the hospital." Sister Juan, the leader of the design team, smiled as she passed by and said to Lin Xian:

"Her leg was a little injured, but it's nothing serious. She will probably come to work in the afternoon."

"Oh."

Lin Xian nodded:

"It was probably hit."

"You hit it?" Brother Wang leaned over.

"The car hit it..." Lin Xian was very speechless:

"Brother Wang, why does everything change when it comes to your mouth?"

"The situation was too dangerous at the time, and I was temporarily dizzy and couldn't brake the car. I really didn't think about flying over the overpass at first. This is not a game..."

Brother Wang smiled and put his arm around Lin Xian. Pulling him to a corner of the hall, he whispered:

"You kid... I've been following President Zhao since the beginning of her business. Don't I know what kind of person she is? Let me tell you, for such a long time, President Zhao has never gone out alone with any man! You are the first and only one!"

"Isn't the driver a person?"

"The driver is the driver, you are you. Hey, I said, why are you so slow, you don't think I want to say that President Zhao has fallen in love with you, do you?"

"Then what do you want to say?"

"President Zhao trusts you very much! This is very rare!" Brother Wang looked serious and leaned over:

"I have some good news to reveal to you."

"What is it?"

"This morning, when I went to the hospital to see President Zhao, she said that the company has more business now, and she is indeed a little too busy to handle things usually, and she is considering whether to promote a secretary!"

Brother Wang smiled and patted Lin Xian on the back:

"She likes you very much!"
