Chapter 709: Encounter in Old Place (1)

"Invitation!" Bai Lang handed her a red envelope, still angry, "He is so good, he actually invited all of us senior officials from the National Security Bureau to his engagement banquet, including you! "

Bai Suye slowly opened the envelope and the invitation slipped from inside.

It was indeed an invitation.

It's red and very festive...

On it, the names ‘Ye Xiao’ and ‘Nalan’ were written side by side.

She looked at it and felt that her eyes were turning red.

"Don't be sad, I'll throw the invitation into the trash can right now!" Bai Lang said as he was about to throw the invitation out.

"Good invitation, why did you throw it away?" Bai Suye took the invitation back, pressed it under the head of the bed, and then threw his mobile phone to Bai Lang. Bai Lang looked at her suspiciously, "What?"

"My phone seems to have been broken. Please help me take it and deal with it. There are a lot of emails in it. Just let people within the National Security Bureau handle it."

"Then this invitation..." Bai Lang took the phone and looked at her several times worriedly.

"I will discuss it with the leader, you don't have to worry about me."

Bai Lang wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. In the end, he just said: "Doctor Fu asked you to stay in the hospital for two days. During these two days, you don't need to go anywhere. Just stay in the hospital."

"Okay, I know." It was rare for Bai Suye to be so obedient.

Bai Lang closed the door* of the room and went out.

For a moment, she was the only one left in the huge ward. The room was very quiet, so quiet that it made people feel panicked. She took out the invitation card from under the pillow again and looked at it blankly for a long time.

In fact, this day will come sooner or later...

But when it really comes, the pain in my heart cannot be hidden...

……………………

In the next few days, after Bai Suye was discharged from the hospital, he devoted himself to work as if nothing had happened. White Wolf would always peek at her and find it strange. Bai Suye was waiting for the director to come to her in person. Sure enough, two days before the engagement party, she was called to the top floor.

"This engagement banquet,

What do you think? "The director asked her in a polite tone, as if he was talking about family matters.

"Ferrence has some issues with our National Security Bureau. I don't know what he is planning to do by inviting us over this time. If I had a choice, I would naturally choose not to go."

The director's eyes looked at her face for a long time, as if he was trying to figure out her thoughts. Finally, "Go ahead. Although we are incompatible with Ferens inside, we still have to give him enough face. Since he dares to openly invite us, he naturally doesn't dare to do anything to us."

"Since you want me to go, then I will go." Bai Suye nodded and complied with the other person's wishes.

The director was obviously quite satisfied with this decision, "Let Bai Lang and the deputy bureau accompany you there. As for the gifts for the prospective newcomers, the bureau will prepare them, so you don't have to worry about them. You have to go back and prepare the tickets tomorrow morning." "

……………………

The next day.

Jucheng.

Today's temperature in Jucheng is several degrees lower than that in country S.

Ferens had already made arrangements for the hotel they were staying at - this hotel was a property owned by the Night Owl, a seven-star sailing hotel. A landmark in the center of the city, this hotel is also internationally renowned and ranked among the best.

Bai Lang followed her with his luggage, looking around the hotel and sighing: "I have long heard that Ferens and Ye Xiao are both extremely wealthy people. Now it seems that they are really not even half-hearted."

Bai Suye didn't care about that. In fact, everyone in the National Security Bureau knew all about Ye Xiaoming's businesses. She was extremely familiar with this hotel.

She looked around the entire hotel and found that the hotel was already decorated with joy.

On the invitation, it was clearly written that the engagement banquet in two days would be held in the largest hall of the hotel. This was probably the grandest engagement ceremony in the entire Jewish city.

The hotel waiter led the three of them to the presidential suite on the top floor to stay.

The view of the hotel is very good, and the room she stayed in was very special, overlooking the sea on the back. The floor-to-ceiling windows were opened a slit, and there was a salty smell in the air, and the sound of waves wafted into my ears.

Jucheng...

After ten years of absence, she is back again...

Once here, I met Ye Xiao, got to know each other, and fell in love with each other...

In the past ten years, she has not dared to set foot on this land. Afraid of drowning myself in guilt and sweet past...

She never expected that when she set foot here again, it would be for Ye Xiao's engagement party.

Things in this world are really impermanent.

"Minister, let's go have dinner together. The deputy director made an appointment with a friend, so we're the only ones left." Bai Lang called her room and invited her.

"You can eat alone, I have something to do later." Bai Suye refused.

Bai Lang pondered for a moment, "Minister, you're not going to find...Ye Xiao, are you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Suye didn't bother to talk nonsense to Bai Lang and hung up the phone directly.

Afterwards, she took out her black formal dress from the suitcase, put on her sunglasses, and left the hotel alone. I haven’t been here for ten years, and Jucheng has undergone great changes. She got into a taxi, reported her address to the driver in the language of country T, and then sat quietly in the car, watching this strange yet familiar city slowly pass by her eyes.

Almost every street and alley here is where she once walked hand in hand with Ye Xiao...

However, ten years have passed, and it feels like a lifetime ago...

"Miss, we're here." The master stopped the car.

Bai Suye paid the bill and got out of the car. In front of him is a cemetery. The tombstones stood there like sharp weapons meant to kill her.

She took a deep breath, turned and walked to the flower shop nearby. The flower shop's business was good, and it took a while before a clerk had time to entertain her.

"Miss, what flowers do you want to buy?"

"Little daisies, white ones." She spoke smoothly in the language of country T, "Give me 25 bouquets in total."

"So many?" The flower shop owner was surprised.

She pulled her lips and smiled, "Yes, it's 25 bunches."

The bodies of the 25 Night Owl brothers who died tragically in that battle were eventually buried together here.

"Then please wait a moment, I will transport it from the warehouse right away."

"Okay, no rush."

Bai Suye nodded and waited in the flower shop for 20 minutes before going up with 25 bouquets of flowers. The arms full of flowers almost fell to the ground, making passers-by unable to help but cast inquiring glances.

She presented daisies to each of the 25 tombs with a pious and guilty feeling. She knelt down in front of each tombstone and kowtowed heavily. By the time the 25 kowtows were finished, a large piece of skin had been broken on the forehead and blood was coming out.

She knew that such behavior could not make amends to the living, nor could she seek forgiveness from those sleeping underground, nor could she redeem her heart, which had been tortured by guilt for a full ten years...

However, this is the only thing she can do now.
