Sunset Boulevard Chapter 1 Part7-8

Chaptet 1

VII.
The border defense of the independent Thai is not as dense as the Asian Union, and the night sky is much deeper than the Asian Union. The stars are bright, and the moon had a subdued light on the west sky.

The fragrance of sedge gra.s.s and moist soil slowly came along from the ankle of Chen Boqiao, scattered in the mist at night.

After saying goodbye to the youth, Zhang Jue took Chen Boqiao out of the grove where the pa.s.sage was located, and walked left and right down the mountain, entered a small and dilapidated social parking lot, and finally stopped by an old pickup truck. At the bottom, he found the key was stuck with tape, opened the door, started the car engine, and drove down the mountain all the way.

The winding Highway was for some years, and border defense supply trucks often pa.s.s here, pushing the road out of many pits of various sizes, and if a driver had slightly distracted, he will encounter those pits.

Zhang Jue drove his car intently, and pushed the sleeves of the beige cotton shirt to his elbows, exposing the pale and slender forearms.

There is a scent of old leather steamed by the heater in the car, mixed with the smell of acrid diesel oil, giving Chen Boqiao a peace of mind for unknown reasons.

Suddenly, Zhang Jue's military communicator in the cup holder began to shake. Zhang Jue picked up, listening to it, and responding “okay”. Before he hung up, he said the longest sentence in the entire call, “Okay, act as originally planned. ”

Throwing the communicator back to the cup holder, Zhang Jue drove forward again. The windows were not tightly closed. It was so quiet that the sound of tires running over the stones was heard.

When they were approaching the mountain, Chen Boqiao was too boring to reach out to the radio k.n.o.b, but he heard Zhang Jue said, “Are you hungry?”

Chen Boqiao froze for a moment, before answering, Zhang Jue said, “I'll be in town after another 20 minutes.

“What can we eat?” Chen Boqiao asked.

Zhang Jue replied as he has answered many times. He reported a lot of vegetables menu without a pause for Chen Boqiao to choose, and said, “You are not convenient to show up now. If you want to eat more elegantly, after reach the safe house I will go out to buy for you again.”

Chen Boqiao thought about it, picked a simple sandwich, and thanked Zhang Jue again.

Zhang Jue didn't look at Chen Boqiao but quickly said, “No need ”

Chen Boqiao smiled mildly, raised his hand again to twist the radio k.n.o.b, and the car was full of noise without signal. Chen Boqiao turned down the volume and slowly turned the tuning k.n.o.b to start changing channels.

He changed the euphemistic Thai music station, the local news, changed the interview, and finally stopped at the international news station.

The female host's English was very standard, but the radio signal was not good. Chen Boqiao heard the breaking news channel said “breaking news from the Asian Union… criminal Chen Boqiao… a premeditated crime, causing… serious… Responsible… officials resigning… the stock market… the voters…”.

Although he couldn't hear the whole, Chen Boqiao could get the keywords and listened with interest.

But when he hadn't listened about more, Zhang Jue's left hand suddenly moved from the steering wheel, grabbed the tuning k.n.o.b and turned forward roughly, turning it back to the music station.

The song was about to come to an end, and the voice of a well-known female singer in the independent country of Thailand rose upwards and fell

Chen Boqiao glanced at Zhang Jue that Zhang Jue's frowned slightly, and he didn't know why Zhang was unhappy.

“You don't like to hear the news?” Chen Boqiao asked tentatively.

“Too noisy,” Zhang said.

Misty and sporadic lights appeared in front of them. They approached a residential area, the town Zhang Jue had said.

Chen Boqiao got up.

“We live here tonight,” in a murmur of music radio, Zhang Jue said softly, “After confirming the security of the information, we will drive to Bangkok tomorrow morning and leave by boat.”

“Are you going with me?” Chen Boqiao asked him.

“Yes,” Zhang nodded, and said, “I will take you to North America, and then to the newly independent country, and then someone will protect you.”

“Thank you,” Chen Boqiao said.

Zhang Jue paused and said, “No need.”

His brow relaxed, and he was a lot relaxer, and said a bit more, “There are some simple dress-up items in the safe house, which can make you fake. You should disguise yourself as the appearance on the pa.s.sport. ”

Chen Boqiao looked at Zhang Jue and said “OK”.

All the way, Chen Boqiao intermittently recalled the appearance when Zhang Jue was a student, but can't remember clearly.

If it wasn't mentioned by Pei Shu sometimes, Chen Boqiao would have forgotten such a person.

However, Pei Shu's description of Zhang Jue was not the same as Chen Boqiao's own feelings on Zhang Jue.

Pei Shu stated that Zhang was lonely, cold, self-a.s.sertive, and out of touch, but Chen Boqiao felt that he really wasn't like what Pei said except his quiet.

Maybe it was quiet at night, or because the situation was critical, Chen Boqiao no longer converged his emotion, and he looked at Zhang Jue from head to toe.

The dorsal knuckle of the hand was raised; and the blood vessels were blue; he was emaciated and thin, which was by no means a normal healthy alpha, but judging from the performance of skydiving, it seems to be braver than an ordinary alpha.

If he remembered correctly, Zhang Jue's father was a political figure in the newly independent state. The diplomatic relations between the newly independent states and the Asian Union were broken many years ago, and it had close relations with North America.

Chen Boqiao couldn't help but feel a headache.

In the material evidence in court today, his communications with North America were indeed fabricated. However, Zhang Jue brought him away today which really was treason.

But it was too late to say anything, and he only to adapt to the situation.

But…Zhang Jue … can he trust?

What is his intention? Will he be obedient?

Chen Boqiao regained his mind and whispered Zhang Jue's name.

Zhang Jue responded quickly, “What's wrong?”

Chen Boqiao asked, “Who do you represent?”

Zhang Jue was silent for a few seconds and said, “I don't represent anyone.”

Chen Boqiao looked at Zhang Jue's side.

The corners of Zhang Jue's lips were very flat, and he looked straight ahead, showing stubborn. After half a minute, Zhang Jue said again, “The Asian Union is unworthy of judging you.”

Chen Boqiao remembered that Zhang Jue was almost in the same age as him. As a 28-year-old or a 29-year-old person, it was not mature enough to say such arrogant and idealistic words. But Chen Boqiao was still amused by the serious, he said, “Really.”

Zhang Jue was still dignified, and he told Chen Boqiao, “I didn't intend to act so early, but after the demonstrations at the gate of the Presidential Palace last week, the Fifth Military Prison suddenly changed several prison guards. Two of them were guards for the President's father.”

The complexion of Chen Boqiao was changed.

“Don't worry,” Zhang Jue perceived Chen Boqiao's changes, and comforted him, “the Asian Union cannot deal with the newly independent country.”

Chen Boqiao pondered and didn't speak.

“But…” Zhang Jue's words turned sharply and said slowly, “When you reach the newly independent country, you have to do me a favor.”

Chen Boqiao glanced at Zhang Jue and asked, “What?”

“I want a gene lock of Zhaohua Energy.”

Chen Boqiao listened and gave a slight stun.

Every gene lock of Zhaohua Energy is the top secret of the group. After Chen Zhaoyan's death, only Chen Boqiao can open it.

Not many people know about gene locks. How did Zhang Jue know?

Chen Boqiao thought for a while, and cautiously asked, “Which one?”

“Zhaohua Energy's s.p.a.ce medicine capsule prototype, I want to take a potion that was completely recalled and destroyed thirteen years ago,” Zhang said, “Can you?”

Chen Boqiao did not answer immediately.

He looked out of the car window, watching the welcoming signboard with colored lights approaching them but left behind, and looking that Zhang Jue drove the car into the town. Chen Boqiao lowered the window with the old hand crank, letting the hot night wind pour into the car.

Zhang Jue didn't get a reply, seemed to be nervous, and said more, “This medicine is only for my personal needs. If it wasn't found, I wouldn't ask you for help. This time I came to Asia Union, I promised my father that I would let you help me, so he took the risk to help me so much.

Before Zhang Jue said more explanations, Chen Boqiao leaned towards Zhang Jue and put his right hand on Zhang Jue's shoulder, “I know. So where is the prototype that you said?”

Chen Boqiao felt the muscles of Zhang's shoulder that he touched were tense, and saw that Zhnag's light-colored lips closed lightly, then opened slightly, and made a sound from his mouth, “My home.”

“Hi, this is Ai Jiaxi. I am inconvenient to answer your call now. Please leave your message after.”

“Jiaxi, when you hear the recording call me back, the independent state of Thailand is not fun, go home immediately, don't make a temper.”

“Hi, this is Ai Jiaxi. I am inconvenient to answer your call now. Please leave your message after.”

“I came back to explain to you, remember, call me back.”
