"Thanks."
When Su Shuang saw Xu Shen coming, her face lit up a little more, and she said with a smile: "Congratulations on your promotion to become the captain of the first team. With your qualifications, it should be easy for you to enter the inner city in the future, unlike my difficult time..."
"Actually, Dicheng is not bad either." Xu Shen said tactfully.
"That's right. You can come visit us often here." Mo Xiaoxiao said, "I don't want to go to the inner city. Those guys are so arrogant. What's the point?"
Su Shuang sighed inwardly, it was a pity that she had too many acquaintances here, and this place left her with too many painful and unbearable memories.
What's more, people tend to move towards higher places, and the inner city is like a holy place, a place that everyone has longed for since childhood.
"I'll leave Rongrong to you." Su Shuang changed the subject and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll take care of her." Xu Shen nodded. This is Captain Zhou's daughter and also Captain Zhou's only thought.
"When do you plan to go to the inner city?" Mo Xiaoxiao frowned when she saw that she could not be persuaded.
Hearing about the inner city, Su Shuang couldn't help but smile and said, "I have completed the formalities and will leave in two days."
"You're pretty quick. You've spent so much money at once from retirement and the inner city. You're really good at saving." Mo Xiaoxiao snorted.
Xu Shen glanced at Su Shuang and said, "Do you have a place to live in the inner city? Do you have enough money? I have some here."
"That's enough."
Su Shuang's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said to Xu Shen, "You have saved me once, and I haven't repaid you yet. I can't trouble you again."
"We are teammates, why are we saying these things? It's only natural for us to help each other." Xu Shen said immediately.
Su Shuang thought of Cao Fei and her eyes dimmed slightly. Even among teammates, there were people who stabbed them in the back. Not everyone was as simple as Xu Shen.
"You are still young. You should be more careful in what you do in the future. Some people are worse than you can imagine." Su Shuang stared at Xu Shen and advised, hoping that Xu Shen would not be easily fooled by others.
"Um……"
Xu Shen nodded.
After a few more pleasantries, Su Shuang prepared to leave.
"Sister Su, where are you going?"
A figure ran out of the building. It was Zhou Rongrong.
Su Shuang turned around and saw her, her eyes softened again, she squatted down and hugged her, saying: "Rongrong, when your sister is not around, you have to listen to Brother Xu and Sister Mo, understand?"
"Sister, why aren't you here?" Rongrong looked at her in confusion and said aggrievedly, "Did Rongrong do something wrong?"
"It has nothing to do with Rongrong. Rongrong is a good girl. How could she do anything wrong?" Su Shuang said quickly, suppressing her sadness.
"Then Sister Su, can you please not leave? Dad also wanted to leave before, but he never came back." Rongrong's eyes were filled with white jade-like tears, and she started crying.
Su Shuang opened her mouth slightly but couldn't say a word. Although her situation was different from Zhou Ye's, it was indeed the same for Rongrong.
Once she went to the inner city, she knew she would rarely come back.
"Rongrong, be obedient..." Su Shuang hugged her and patted her gently to comfort her.
After comforting them for a long time and lying to Rongrong, Su Shuang looked at Xu Shen and Mo Xiaoxiao. All the words were in their eyes, and she turned and left.
Xu Shen and Mo Xiaoxiao stood there, watching Su Shuang walk away, feeling that there was one less familiar face in the game.
Loneliness in life may come from the gradual disappearance of acquaintances, leaving only unfamiliar faces around you.
"Rongrong will stay in Team 17 and let Xiaomin take care of her on a daily basis. I will hire a personal nanny to take care of her later and install surveillance cameras in the room to prevent the nanny from secretly bullying Rongrong." Xu Shen said to Mo Xiaoxiao.
Mo Xiaoxiao muttered, "You said earlier that you would transfer me to Team 1, but it hasn't happened yet?"
"I won't stay in Team 1 for long. I may leave after a while, and I won't be able to take care of you then." Xu Shen said to Mo Xiaoxiao. This was also his concern. After all, he would have to leave the Xumi Bureau sooner or later, and he would have to repay the director's kindness and leave. If he transferred Mo Xiaoxiao to Team 1 at that time, it would harm her instead.
With her abilities, it would be safer for her to be in the second tier.
"You're leaving too?" Mo Xiaoxiao frowned, "Are you also going to retire and move to the inner city?"
Her eyes turned, wondering if she should also take the opportunity to apply to go home?
"Just retiring, not going to the inner city." Xu Shen shook his head.
Mo Xiaoxiao's thoughts were interrupted immediately, and she said, "Okay then, I'll come find you when I'm free."
"good."
After handing Rongrong to Mo Xiaoxiao, Xu Shen drove away.
…
…
After Su Shuang left the Xu Secret Bureau, she felt a sense of loneliness, but at the same time, she felt relaxed and comfortable all over. The heavy thing like armor that was pressing on her body was now completely thrown off.
There is no need to fight in the market anymore, no need to charge on the front line. From now on, you just need to save money, do some small business, and live your life in peace and stability.
Drink some coffee, plant some flowers and plants, and bask in the sun. I heard that the sunshine in the inner city is brighter than that in the outer city because there is not as much fog and it is not as heavy.
Su Shuang stood on the street, her thoughts drifting into the future.
She quickly got a taxi and got in. She looked back at the sign of the Xumi Bureau and suddenly there was a sense of sadness in her eyes.
Xu Shen, Mo Xiaoxiao, Rongrong, Captain Zhou...goodbye to all.
It would be great if Xu Shen and Xiao Xiao Youtian could also come to the inner city, maybe we could see each other again… She thought silently in her heart, still with a glimmer of hope in her heart.
She had already guessed that Mo Xiaoxiao had a considerable background. As for Xu Shen, he was now a popular figure in the bureau and was also in the second form. He had an extraordinary status and it would be easy for him to enter the inner city in the future. Sooner or later, they would get tired of the bottom city and move into the inner city... After all, people tend to move to higher places.
As Su Shuang was thinking, the scenery outside the car window was already receding.
Goodbye… She said goodbye silently in her heart.
After arriving in the city, Su Shuang returned to her house. She checked the time and immediately contacted the real estate agency and second-hand furniture store she had contacted earlier.
Soon, people from both sides arrived one after another.
"Well, these are all. The price has been discussed with your manager. Yes, this piano is also included. Be careful with this statue. It was made by Master Luo in his early years. These are all. This coffee machine is also included..."
Su Shuang was dressed exquisitely and stood by to give orders.
After she submitted , her Zhanxu Sword and combat uniform were returned to the bureau and became the bureau's property.
Soon, all the things in the house were moved out.
"This box is not..." Su Shuang hurriedly took the brown wooden box from a worker. When the wardrobe was moved open, the box was revealed. She had almost forgotten about it.
She opened the box slightly and took a look to make sure everything inside was there. With a complicated look in her eyes, she took out a few old photos.
The photo shows a happy family. The little girl in the photo looks 70% similar to her and has a ponytail.
Su Shuang put the photo away, closed the box again, then found a piece of paper, wrote a few words on the windowsill, and stuffed it into the box.
After all the workers left, the real estate agent also arrived.
The house for sale was a luxury home, and many real estate agents came. Su Shuang accompanied them around. The real estate agents wanted to find fault and lower the price, but Su Shuang coldly refuted them. Everything was completed as agreed beforehand.
When Su Shuang bought the house, in addition to using it for living, she also had the idea of ​​investing in it. Now, after selling it, she has made a small profit. This money is also the capital for her to settle down in the inner city.
After everything was settled, Su Shuang came to the courtyard of the house, took a look, and then left without looking back.
She went to a post office near her home, packed the box in her hand, and wrote down an address and Xu Shen's name.
"I hope you won't need these..." Su Shuang's eyes shook slightly, but she finally plucked up the courage and chose to hand over this thing.
Hidden in it are her unbearable memories, which may make Xu Shen realize something, but she wants to repay the kindness she once received.
Xu Shen is still young... Although he is in a high position now, he may be useful in the future. After all, once you enter that circle, you will always come into contact with it... Su Shuang thought silently.
After doing all this, Su Shuang looked at the street. Although it was still the same street as before, she felt it was empty and she had no worries anymore.
Two days later, Su Shuang arrived at a manor in the city as promised.
This manor is extremely magnificent and huge.
There were many gardeners pruning flowers and trees in the manor, and servants were walking around in a hurry.
Although it is the lower city, it is also full of mansions and the powerful people in the lower city live no worse than those in the inner city.
After showing the invitation, Su Shuang, led by a servant, walked through the garden to a reception room somewhere in the manor.
"The master will be here soon, please wait a moment, would you like some coffee?" the servant said respectfully.
"No need." Su Shuang said. She was carrying her own backpack and was dressed exquisitely. She had disposed of all her old clothes. Now she was alone, with only her wish to go to the inner city.
Upon hearing this, the servant respectfully withdrew.
After waiting for more than an hour, Su Shuang sat and stood back and forth. The reception room was decorated magnificently, and many things were extremely valuable with Su Shuang's keen eyesight.
Such a wealthy man would not go back on his word, right?
Finally, Su Shuang heard footsteps outside.
She immediately stood quietly in front of a sculpture, maintaining an attitude of appreciation, appearing extremely peaceful, without any impatience or irritability.
"Sorry for the wait."
A laugh was heard, and Su Shuang saw a sturdy middle-aged man walked in. He was overweight, wearing a satin home suit and slippers, and dressed casually, exuding the smell of money.
"Boss Han."
When Su Shuang saw the other person, she quickly bowed her head and greeted him.
"Haha, isn't that horse pretty?" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
In front of Su Shuang was an oil-painted flying horse, which was quite artistic. She glanced at it and then looked away and said, "Boss Han has good taste."
"Why are you here to see me today?" The middle-aged man looked at her with a smile, looking her up and down.
Su Shuang's face changed slightly, and she said quickly: "Boss Han, the things I told you about the inner city last time..."
"Oh." The middle-aged man suddenly remembered and slapped his head and said, "I remember I gave you the pass, right?"
"Yes." Su Shuang nodded quickly: "But it hasn't been stamped yet."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Are you in such a hurry to go to the inner city? If you leave, who will I go to in the future?"
Su Shuang's expression changed, and she forced a smile and said, "Boss Han is surrounded by beauties, so he certainly doesn't need me."
"But you are very unique." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's just right. It's still early today and I haven't eaten yet. Would you like to come and have something to eat?"
Su Shuang said tactfully: "Thank you, Mr. Han, I have eaten."
"Have you eaten?"
The middle-aged man sat on the sofa, opened his legs, and asked with a smile: "Have you eaten here before?"
"Boss Han..."
"Come on, you're about to leave, let me satisfy you one last time, and I'll give you a stamp of approval later. If you go to the inner city in the future, I won't see you again."
Su Shuang looked unhappy and stood there.
"how?"
The smile on the middle-aged man's face faded, and suddenly there was a sense of coldness .
Su Shuang said hesitantly: "Boss Han, I have already paid the money last time. I have agreed to all the conditions you mentioned, and you also promised me..."
"You've done it so many times, do you still care about this time?" The middle-aged man looked indifferent and said, "I'll count to three, and you can do it yourself."
"three."
"two."
Su Shuang's eyes struggled for a while, but she finally put down her backpack and slowly walked over.
