Chapter 67

Yinsi Street, Blue Banquet...

The car parked at the traffic light intersection, Liang Sizhe recalled the time ten years ago in a daze. The memory was too long that everything at the moment seemed a little unreal.

I haven't been to Yinsi for a long time... How long has it been? Liang Sizhe put his hand on the steering wheel and thought about it briefly. It's been about three or four years.

During the filming of "Thirteen Days", he always went to Yinsi. At that time, his idea of ​​Cao Ye was not so clear, but he missed the time he was in Yinsi. At that time, he couldn't contact Cao Ye, and Cao Ye seemed to be deliberately avoiding him and was unhappy with him. During that time, "Thirteen Days" was still in post-production, and he had not won any awards. He had not had much exposure, and he was very free. He wore a baseball cap and led Xiao Xiaobai over for a walk. It took an afternoon in Yinsi.

After winning the award in "Thirteen Days", he went less. Once, he was holding Xiao Xiaobai and was about to turn in, he suddenly noticed that there were paparazzi following him, so he turned his footsteps, walked around the street and went home because he didn't want the media to take pictures of Yin Si.

After "Red Man and Red Girl", the public's curiosity about him suddenly soared. No matter where he went, someone followed him, forcing him to practice good driving skills. He had to get four or five cars following him when he went to Yinsi. Since then, Yinsi started to demolish it, Lan Yan, Lao Du Noodle Restaurant, the bar on the street... They were all flattened by forklifts overnight and turned into ruins. He looked in a bad mood, as if the memories of Yinsi also collapsed. After that, he rarely went to Yinsi again.

Later, he only went there once. After winning the award in Cannes, he couldn't help but go there again the night he returned to Beijing.

Yin Si became very clean and planned to be a green area. The fireworks of the past disappeared. Standing on the street in the middle of the night, he felt strange. But he still walked around the street and walked to the end of the street and found that a new hidden underground bar was built there. The name was quite special, called "Shao". The lights were brand new, and the bar looked like it had just been built.

He walked in and took a look. The long spiral staircase was invisible. He stood on the top step, leaning against the wall and listening to the music vaguely coming from below. He didn't know how long it took until someone turned out from below and walked up the staircase. He got up and left.

As a result, the next day, there was a report that he went to the underground bar alone late at night, suspected of buying drunk and looking for fun. The report was vague and seemed to say nothing, but gave people a lot of room for imagination. Then the rumors about Liang Sizhe being a nightclub casino spread rapidly.

——I just didn’t expect that the bar would be run by Cao Ye. If I had walked down the long spiral staircase and saw Huang Ying, what would he and Cao Ye look like now?

The car turned from the main road into Yinsi. A hundred meters away, Liang Sizhe saw a police car parked at the door of the bar. There were about hundreds of people around, all of whom were squatting at the end of the street with their heads in their arms. Several policemen were paced with electric batons in their hands, as if searching and interrogation were being carried out.

A policeman standing in front of the police car should be the main person in charge of the search work. He looked serious and was talking to the excited girl in front of him.

As soon as the car approached, a policeman came over with an electric baton and stopped him: "Stop, what are you doing?"

The car window slowly fell, Liang Sizhe did not wear a hat or sunglasses, and a swaying face was clearly exposed, and no one didn't know him. The policeman was stunned: "...Liang Sizhe?"

"Well," said Liang Sizhe, "this bar belongs to my friend, I'll help him deal with the matter tonight."

The voice of Huang Ying's negotiations on the other side of the street came over, and she said anxiously: "...It really has nothing to do with our bar. This person was brought by an acquaintance. It was the first time I came here today... My boss couldn't come over. He was drunk, really..."

The policeman who came to stop the car walked over and said a few words to the person in charge. The person in charge came over. Liang Sizhe turned off the car, untied his seat belt and pushed open the door to get out of the car, and shook hands with the person in charge.

Liang Sizhe got off the car and squatted among dozens of people not far away, and someone noticed him.

"Fuck! Liang Sizhe!" Someone shouted first, with a clear drunkenness in his voice.

The crowd quickly became turbulent. This underground bar was originally the habitat for independent filmmakers. This group of people were free and scattered, ambitious and helpless, and they were drunk and dreaming in this underground bar every day. Now when they saw Liang Sizhe, they forgot that they were still being searched. Several people even stood up and wanted to see clearly.

"Squat down!" The policeman held the electric baton to maintain order, "Those few over there, you! Squat down!"

But it was useless. The commotion was not quiet for a few seconds. When Liang Sizhe followed the person in charge and approached the police car a few steps, the commotion of the crowd suddenly soared to an unsuppressible level.

"Liang Sizhe!"

"Liang Sizhe is awesome!"

"I love "Red Man and Red Girl"!"

"You fuckingly acted like "Wangchuan"!"

...

The shouts came one after another, and the scene couldn't be controlled for a while, and a flash even lighted up.

Liang Sizhe did not react throughout the whole process, and walked to the police with the usual expression. The police opened the car door and sat in a low position.

It was not until the police car drove away for a while that the commotion completely subsided.

Liang Sizhe was the biggest change in this incident tonight, and no one expected that he would suddenly appear here.

After Huang Ying finished calling, she was afraid that he would come over, so she called several more times, but everyone on the other side prompted to turn off the phone. After Liang Sizhe hung up the phone, he turned off Cao Ye's cell phone.

"Is it really okay?" After getting in the car, Huang Ying turned her face toward the rear window of the car with some concern, "It seems that someone took a cell phone to take a picture."

"It's okay," Liang Sizhe looked at Huang Ying and asked, "What's going on in the bar?" Huang Ying changed a lot compared to before. When she was in high school ten years ago, she looked like a rebellious girl. Now she seems quite reliable when speaking and doing things. She has smoky makeup on her face, which is much more beautiful than she did back then.

"Can I tell Officer Liu?" Huang Ying turned her head and sought the opinions of the person in charge in the co-pilot. After getting permission, she sighed, "We usually come to some independent filmmakers. The underground bar is also hidden. No one usually comes to me, so we basically come to drink together. Today, a customer brought a friend here, who is also a director. I have watched the directed film. To be honest, the short film is OK, so I didn't check anything and let him in. Who would have thought that he was carrying drugs..."

Liang Sizhe nodded and said nothing.

The police car parked in front of the nearby police station, Liang Sizhe got out of the car and took a separate record with Huang Ying.

Cao Ye is a bar legal person, so the questions recorded are all about Cao Ye. The police want to confirm that he, as an operator, has no direct relationship with tonight's drug transaction incident.

It was already past one o'clock in the morning after the transcript was completed, and the people gathered in the bar tonight were also brought over to do urine tests in turn. When the examination and interrogation results came out, it was almost four o'clock in the morning. The process was quite smooth. Except for the person carrying drugs, the other people's examination results were fine.

The police were very polite and sent someone to drive the two of them back. Liang Sizhe is a public figure and they have to ensure his personal safety.

Back at Yinsi Street, the door was already deserted. The sky vaguely lit up a corner, which was the moment when night and day intertwined, gray and bright.

Getting out of the police car, Huang Ying dared to open up and talk to Liang Sizhe: "Why are you really here? In fact, it's nothing big to do if you don't come. At most, I'll be detained for one night. When Cao Ye wakes up tomorrow, he comes to cooperate with an investigation and find someone to clear it up, and the matter will be resolved..."

"Isn't it the same result now?" Liang Sizhe looked at her, "It's the same as me or him."

Huang Ying was speechless. I have to admit that Liang Sizhe came here and helped a lot. Originally, it was involved in such a sensitive matter as drugs. The bar was going to be closed for half a year for rectification. Liang Sizhe probably found a friend to deal with it. Now it only needs to be closed for ten days. If Cao Ye came here, it must be the same result, but...

"What's the same," Huang Ying said worriedly, "What if the photo is posted online..." She said as she took out her cell phone, "I'll search for any information on the Internet now..."

"Stop searching," Liang Sizhe pulled out his cell phone from her hand, turned off the screen and held it in his hand, and smiled, "Do you want to make things difficult for me if you searched it now?"

"Searched out and asked your agent to public relations as soon as possible..."

“How many hours have it been since the flash came on?”

"Three or four hours? What?"

"Three or four hours..." Liang Sizhe chuckled and shook his head, "If it was really spread to the Internet, it is likely that it has been on a round of hot searches now, with few late-night topics, and hot searches will be easily posted."

"Then, what should I do..."

"Let's let things go," Liang Sizhe returned her phone and looked up at the sky. "Since it's not dawn, we will pretend that nothing has happened and wait until dawn before it's dawn."

He looked natural and didn't seem to worry about what might have happened. Huang Ying was unconsciously relieved by him, but she still hesitated and said, "Oh... OK."

"Talk something else," Liang Sizhe walked across the street and sat on a long wooden stool. "For example, why do you have any contact with Cao Ye?"

"We..." Huang Ying sat down with him and recalled, "The winter after you left with Cao Ye, you should still be playing Xiaoman. Cao Ye came a few times and said he wanted to see what Yinsi was like when it snowed, but it was very dry that winter and it didn't snow. He left me the contact information and said that it would snow in Yinsi in the future, so I must take a photo and send it to him. So before the Lan Yan opened, I would take photos to him every year, and he would call me to chat with me, and I kept in touch with him... By the way, why are you two together tonight? I didn't even believe you said on the phone that you were Liang Sizhe."

"Cao Ye is drunk tonight's ending banquet, so I'll take him home." Liang Sizhe turned his face to look at her and repeated her name, "Huang Ying, it's a blessing that you have a special name."

"Or else you'll hang up the phone, right?" Huang Ying smiled, "It's incredible that you still remember me."

"I remember everything about Yinsi Street." Liang Sizhe said with a smile.

"You two lived in the dilapidated building in my house back then. The sisters all said that you two would be big stars in the future," Huang Ying sighed, "So you are the best actor now. What should I call you? The best actor Liang?"

"Liang Sizhe, just call it a name." Liang Sizhe looked up at the bar in front of him. The flame-effect word "burn" has been destroyed. The grayish-white word signs merged with the dark sky. "When did Cao Ye open this bar?"

"More than three years ago, a few months earlier than Lomon. I still remember that when the business opened, the news that you were shortlisted for Cannes was circulating in China."

Liang Sizhe nodded, Huang Ying continued, "This bar is not easy to open. Don't look at the hidden place. Cao Ye spent a lot of money to buy it. There were green areas in front of it, and this environment was actually very suitable for opening a high-end hotel. Many large catering groups came to grab it during the bidding. Later, he didn't know why he got it... The bar was also very twists and turns after it opened, and you don't know..."

Liang Sizhe looked at her: "Hmm? Why are the twists and turns?"

"When Lomon was first started, the foundation was unstable. A film encountered a temporary withdrawal of investment by the investor. The company's capital turnover was not open and the capital chain was broken. Lomon almost collapsed. Cao Ye went to find his uncle Cao Xiuyan to help. You know, even the boss of the Gianis Group, he also fell in love with this film and said that as long as Cao Ye gave him the place, Gianis would help to cover all the funding problems that Lomon encountered in the next three years. But Cao Ye disagreed and saved the bar."

"So the three-year betting agreement between Lomon and Giannis was signed at that time?"

"It should be that I didn't participate in the betting agreements and other things. I only helped him manage this bar. Anyway, he was in a bad mood at that time and came here to sleep every day."

"sleep?"

"Well," Huang Ying pointed to a low building in front, "just there, there is a small cinema inside. Cao Ye likes to sleep there the most. When he can't sleep, he comes here to sleep."

"Can you go in and take a look?"
