2018年2月1日，星期四，下午二時三十分。中環，國際金融中心，龍景軒。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQLodgvfh5

龍景軒係香港其中一間最具盛名嘅米芝蓮星級粵菜館，位於IFC嘅高層，落地玻璃窗外面係維港嘅全景。午後嘅陽光透過玻璃窗灑落喺深色嘅木質地板上面，形成一片片金黃色嘅光影。餐廳入面嘅裝修好優雅、好低調，每一張餐檯之間都有足夠嘅距離，確保每一位客人都可以有足夠嘅私隱。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FAu5rIiGs

靠窗嘅一張餐檯旁邊，坐住一個女人。佢嘅五官精緻，皮膚白皙，長髮整齊咁散落喺膊頭上面，身穿一套簡約而優雅嘅深藍色行政套裝，舉手投足之間散發住一種「唔係凡人」嘅優雅感。佢嘅手中拎住一隻細小嘅青瓷茶杯，茶香裊裊升起。佢就係李英愛——創華建築集團主席，香港最有權力嘅女人之一。亦係程朗嘅契家姐。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF6QKH7lEQ

李英愛放低茶杯，輕輕抬起左手，望咗一眼手腕上面嘅錶——下午兩點三十一分。約好嘅時間，係兩點半。佢嘅嘴角慢慢浮起一絲好淡好淡嘅笑容，係嗰種「我知你一定會準時」嘅笑容。然後佢再次拎起茶杯，輕輕品嚐咗一口，視線望住窗外嘅維港景色，但係佢嘅思緒，已經飄返去好遠好遠嘅地方。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4cOu565Fq

佢正在等一個人。一個冇血緣嘅親人，但係比有血緣嘅更加親。佢嘅契細佬——程朗。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt1V3J5mol

喺李英愛身處嘅富豪圈子入面，「家族」呢兩個字嘅定義，同普通人嘅理解好唔同。表面上，佢哋全部都係西裝筆挺、笑容滿面嘅社會精英，但係當涉及到遺產分配、公司控股權、家族信託基金嘅時候，呢班人嘅出手絕對毫不留情。就算係同一血緣嘅親兄弟，都可以為咗多一個百份點嘅股權而反目成仇。李英愛見識過太多呢啲所謂嘅「親情」，所以佢好清楚，真正嘅「家人」，唔係靠血緣去定義嘅。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtnYkVVyXd

佢永遠記得兩年前嘅嗰個晚上。嗰一晚，係佢同Leon第一次見面。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebrLwoqeXf
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNrKtHJwlP
兩年前，李英愛仲未係創華建築嘅主席，當時佢嘅父親——創華嘅創辦人——啱啱過身，成個家族陷入咗一場極其醜陋嘅爭產風波。幾個叔伯對主席之位虎視眈眈，每一個人都想將呢個「啱啱由英國返嚟嘅世侄女」踢出局。李英愛嘅處境好危險——唔單止係商業上嘅危險，更加係人身安全上嘅危險。佢父親生前嘅一個好朋友，亦係其中一個比較有良心嘅叔伯，知道佢隨時可能會俾人「解決」，所以暗中拜託咗一個人——全香港唯一嘅「426雙花紅棍」耀文哥，請佢派人保護呢個世侄女。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmBP7ZwO85
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQVlT6GQQm
耀文哥應承咗。佢派出嘅人，就係當時啱啱跟咗佢三年幾嘅程朗。Leon嘅任務好簡單——暗中保護李英愛，確保佢嘅人身安全，但係絕對唔可以俾佢知道。所以，嗰段時間，Leon一直喺李英愛身邊，但係從來冇出現過。佢係一個「隱形嘅守護者」——李英愛返工嘅時候，佢喺對面街嘅咖啡店入面；李英愛開會嘅時候，佢喺大廈樓下嘅車入面；李英愛返屋企嘅時候，佢喺大宅外面嘅街角。佢嘅存在，冇任何人知道。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSatMoh4GMT

直到有一晚，一班綁架匪徒喺李英愛返屋企途中將佢擄走，帶到新界一間廢棄貨倉入面。佢哋嘅目的唔係贖金，而係「解決」呢個麻煩嘅世侄女。嗰一晚，李英愛以為自己會死。但係Leon出現咗。佢一個人，冇任何武器，只係靠住一對拳頭同埋一個冷靜到令人心寒嘅頭腦，由幾個持刀匪徒手中將佢救咗出嚟。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIoWCi02KK
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatvHtLzCeI
佢記得好清楚——Leon抱住佢行出貨倉嘅時候，金髮挑染俾雨水淋到濕透，黑色恤衫上面全部都係泥同埋血跡，但係佢嘅嘴角仍然掛住嗰絲好淡好淡嘅笑容，然後用一貫平實嘅語氣講咗一句：「李小姐，你安全啦。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezCZvT9bOs
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK8kXLpguI
由嗰一刻開始，李英愛就知道，呢個男人，會係佢呢世人最信任嘅人。佢哋嘅「契姐弟」關係，係之後先至慢慢建立嘅。李英愛用咗好幾個月嘅時間，先至說服到Leon接受佢嘅感激。佢同Leon講：「你救咗我一命，我呢世人冇辦法還清。但係我想你俾一個機會我，做你嘅家姐。冇血緣嘅，但係比有血緣嘅更加親。」Leon沉默咗好耐，最後只係輕輕點咗一下頭。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73kySg43M9

每當李英愛諗起嗰件事，佢從來冇害怕過。因為佢本身就係一個極其堅強嘅女子——佢係創華建築集團嘅主席，喺一個男性主導嘅商業世界入面，佢用自己嘅智慧同埋手腕去爭取每一個機會，佢嘅心臟比任何人都更加強大。但係佢正在回味嘅，係當日同呢個細佬第一次相遇嘅一刻。佢居然會諗——如果當日冇嗰單綁票事件發生，佢哋可能唔會喺呢個茫茫人海之中相遇。佢居然慶幸，嗰件事發生喺自己身上。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyUL2GO2Hu
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1IcpalvPe
然後佢突然又覺得自己非常可笑。哪有人會為咗俾人綁票而高興嘅呢？43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gmq8HaMQ2

佢嘅嘴角慢慢浮起一絲自嘲而溫柔嘅笑容，然後輕輕搖咗一下頭。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZzIJrfac4

就喺呢個時候，包廂嘅門俾人輕輕敲響。一位身穿整齊制服嘅侍應推門入嚟，企喺門口，向住李英愛恭敬咁鞠咗一個躬，把聲禮貌而清晰咁講：「李小姐，歐先生到咗。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGCtxW3Stv
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKboo9TgO3w
包廂嘅門俾侍應輕輕推開，Leon由門口行入嚟。佢今日身穿一件簡約嘅白色恤衫，袖口捲起到手肘，下身係一條深藍色牛仔褲，金髮挑染喺餐廳嘅柔和燈光下閃住微弱嘅光芒。佢嘅步伐穩定而從容，就好似呢度唔係全香港最頂級嘅米芝蓮粵菜館，而係一個佢好熟悉嘅地方。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmxMSTjj8v
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgrfxhDwm0
李英愛由座位上面企起身，嘴角慢慢浮起一絲溫柔而親切嘅笑容。佢冇講任何說話，只係伸出雙手，輕輕攬住Leon嘅肩膀，然後喺佢嘅臉頰旁邊輕輕印咗一下——呢個唔係西式嘅貼面禮，而係一個家姐對細佬嘅親近。Leon同樣輕輕攬住李英愛嘅背脊，然後兩個人一齊坐低。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR17ol94nnx
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzHODWyLr9
侍應幫Leon斟滿咗一杯熱茶，然後恭敬咁退咗出去，輕輕閂上包廂嘅門。包廂入面，只剩下佢哋兩個人。窗外嘅維港景色喺午後陽光之下閃住粼粼波光，海面上面有幾艘天星小輪慢慢駛過，留低一條條白色嘅浪痕。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSzLJI5sWh
