Chen Ling looked at her for a moment, "You don't wear a ponytail anymore."

Shen Zhen scooped up a spoonful of tea, twisted it and applied it on the nails, "I don't do it often."

"I remember, you had a ponytail every day in college."

She was startled, "Third Uncle remembers what my university was like?"

"I have an impression." He fiddled with the cuff of the sweater, "You have a beige bow."

Shen Zhen stared wide-eyed, "I bought it at the stationery store in my freshman year!"

Chen Ling chuckled, "Chenxi Stationery Store."

She was even more incredible, "You also understand this?"

"Isn't there only one stationery store in the North Campus?"

Shen Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought I had committed some crime. The third uncle had secretly investigated it."

He propped his jaw with interest, "Then have you ever committed a crime?"

"Does following a boy count?"

She followed Zhou Haiqiao, and it got dark early in winter, she didn't see the campus road signs clearly, and almost slipped into the men's bathhouse, which spread widely in the men's dormitory.

Only then did Zhou Haiqiao pay attention to her.

Chen Ling said, "Of course."

Shen Zhen waved his hand, "Then I haven't."

He didn't change his face, "Yeah." After a few seconds of silence, "You were dishonest in class, ate durian cakes secretly, took pictures of boys, your phone was confiscated by the dean, and you were sent back to our school, where you were given a warning."

She was extremely embarrassed, "It's been a long time..."

Recalling this point, Chen Ling burst out laughing, and Chen Chongzhou glanced at him, "Third Uncle seems to be very happy today."

He calmed down, "There is news of a breakthrough in a case in a prefecture-level city."

Chen Chongzhou had a deep meaning, "Second Uncle has never returned to the old house, so I wonder if he holds grudges against Third Uncle and me."

"Baizhou International's project has loopholes, routine investigation, he has no reason to hold grudges."

"That's the case, my younger brother and nephew are ruthless, and it's normal for my second uncle to be unhappy." Chen Chongzhou stopped, took the hot towel from the servant, and said, "Where is Miss Shen?"

"In the guest room, no dinner."

He paused, "Why?"

The servant stood in the aisle of the restaurant, "I ate a lot of fruit in the afternoon, and my stomach was swollen. The third master tried to persuade Miss Shen, but he couldn't persuade her. There was not a single strawberry left in the basket."

Chen Chongzhou gave the towel to the servant, feeling helpless and funny, "She is very greedy and worthless."

Chen Ling pinched the center of her eyebrows, "Sister Fen, have you boiled the medicine yet?"

The servant hurried to the kitchen and brought out a bowl of thick medicinal soup, "The temperature is right for your palate, would you like to taste the bitterness?"

Chen Ling's status was achieved with real swords and guns. He didn't have any airs of official status. He was more easy-going and simple than ordinary men. He ate snake meat and wild fruits for a whole week of wilderness physical training. It's a body of flesh and blood, but it has a will of steel. It's just a bowl of bitter medicine soup, and it doesn't matter at all.

He drank it all in one gulp, "Tomorrow's medicine is fried together, saving time."

The servant smiled, "Third Master, it doesn't take much effort, it will be curative if you cook it now and drink it now."

Chen Chongzhou glanced at the empty bowl, "Is Third Uncle feeling well?"

Chen Ling wiped the medicine stains on the corners of her lips with a square handkerchief, "I have a problem with my lungs."

Coughing has become a common occurrence for him in recent years. When he was born and died on the frontier, the hideouts of thugs were in primeval forests, or caves in villages, or construction sites at river mouths.

"The Municipal People's Hospital has experts in this field, can I arrange for third uncle?"

"No need." Chen Ling folded the veil and put it back in his pocket, "It's an old problem, and the root cause cannot be cured."

Chen Chongzhou stood there, the wall lamp in the entrance was light green, cast around him, a kind of broken coldness, "Didn't you go back to the provincial hall?"

"I know what you want to ask." Chen Ling stared at him, "About Shen Zhen, your father has plans, and no one else is allowed to intervene."

He frowned more and more tightly, "Father put Shen Zhen under house arrest."

"She was treated as a distinguished guest in the Chen family, and she was unharmed. I have no reason to forcefully ask your father for someone. Second child, you know your father's temper."

Yes.

Chen Ling has never been involved in family affairs, if he is too strong in Shen Zhen's place, causing Chen Zheng's suspicion, and he believes that Shen Zhen is also bewildered by him, Chen Zheng must hold this woman firmly in his hands.

It will be even more difficult to save her.

Chen Chongzhou calmed down, "Does Third Uncle agree with Father's proposal?"

Chen Ling said nothing.

He waited patiently for a long time. Chen Ling said concisely, "I don't agree."

Chen Chongzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, "You also think that Shen Zhen is not suitable for eldest brother."

"I don't know your father's thoughts like you do." Chen Ling walked around the dining table, "I just think that if Shen Zhen accepts it, there is no need to take her to the old house and do both hard and soft things. The wedding leave is a matter of your love and my wish."

He smiled, "Third Uncle has a high position and authority. If you are willing to come forward as a lobbyist, Father will consider it."

Chen Ling didn't respond, and walked towards the North courtyard.

Chen Chongzhou stared at his back, there was something wrong and he couldn't trace it.

At that time, Gu Yunzhi tidied up the bedroom in the north courtyard and greeted him at the door, "Chen Ting."

Chen Ling didn't like women coming in and out of his room, even servants. It was a habit he had developed during his years as an undercover agent.

In this city, Liu Hu is quite famous, but it can be left on the border, not as good as those gangsters.

And during his 13 years of lurking in the front line, he dealt with those vicious Southeast Asian guys.

Licking blood with knife edge, addicted to money like life.

The most powerful person Chen Ling has come into contact with is a smuggler named Old G. He keeps a low profile and is not playful.He only owns a high-emission Daben, a small western-style building, and occasionally rides a motorcycle. He drives around Jinghong and the Lancang River basin to develop his business. He pretends that his main business is fishing, and he has contracted seven or eight fishing boats. The local "Fisher King".

Chen Ling didn't pay attention to him at first, he was unattractive, 1 meters tall, dark and old, he didn't look like the person on that road at all.

Until the task was assigned by the department, he was responsible for encircling and suppressing the illegal drugs circulating in the triangle line of "Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam", and strictly preventing them from entering the border market.

Known in history as the "Border 3.17 Fishing Boat Smuggling Case".

The target of the sales business is the fishing boat leased by Old G, and dozens of fishermen are all played by him.

At that time, Chen Ling had been in the police force for five years. Although he had little experience, he was a child in the police circle. A "big guy" at the level of old G couldn't get his turn. He had to be an old comrade with more than 15 years of police experience.

In case the slightest leak is leaked, the whole army will be wiped out.

Chen Ling's mentor, Guo Aiqi, valued him very much and resolutely sent him to fight. As the leader of any front-line combat team, this team has 27 offline liaison officers, and his life and death depend on him.

The 26-year-old Chen Ling endured tremendous pressure to get to the core of the old G gang, although he was the backbone, the cunning old G didn't fully trust him.

No father, no mother, no wife and no daughter, although he has no worries and is brave, but it is difficult to control without a handle, and it is not safe to reuse.

As a result, Chen Ling was exhausted after repeated temptations.

Be vigilant when sleeping, afraid of talking in your dreams, leave a little room for drinking, afraid of talking while drinking, not going to the hospital when you are sick, afraid of anesthetics, old G has all kinds of medicines on hand, swallowed one by mistake, the secret of eighteen generations of ancestors, can't help disarming up.

Old G tried every means to set Chen Ling's details, and Chen Ling tried every means to catch old G's tricks.

At the moment when the network was about to close, Old G hired two dancing girls from Mexico to hold a celebration banquet in advance.

In fact, it was a grand banquet.

Old G instructed the girl to lure Chen Ling into bed.

If he touches it, he will completely gain the trust of old G. If he doesn't touch it, all previous efforts will be wasted.

In the eyes of that group of people, there is no one who does not stumble on beauty, and women are the only possible weaknesses of men who have no weaknesses.

If you don't have this weak point, you will be arrested in the future, and you only want to live for yourself, and you can't be afraid if you don't have a rear. If you spit out some inside information, it will definitely be a big trouble for old G.

However, under the old G's command, Chen Ling also cultivated his own network of influence. Among them, the key role - the driver of the old G, Yang Zizi, was attacked by his peers during the process of escorting the goods, and broke a leg on the spot. It was Chen Ling who rescued him. over him.

Otherwise, the truck will be cut in two.

Cripple Yang was grateful to Chen Ling and responded to every request.

Chen Ling asked him for androgen-suppressing drugs, acute specific drugs. That night, Old G plugged a pinhole bug by his bedside, and gathered a large group of men to watch the show.

However, despite the girl's teasing, he didn't get up.

Old G was extremely surprised. Chen Ling's appearance was heroic and strong, and he was good at fighting, very powerful.

No wonder, the excitement of Fengyue Field couldn't impress him.

This time, when it got to the bureau, Chen Ling became famous.

When the superior found Guo Aiqi, he was full of praise, and praised him for his extraordinary vision. Xiao Chen was brave and resourceful, he was so cruel to himself, and he didn't mind the sequelae. He was a malleable talent.

On the day old G was taken to the execution ground, Chen Ling personally saw him off in a police uniform.

One bottle of Erguotou, one mouthful per person, Old G said, "Azan, no, Captain Chen, I'm convinced that I planted it on your hands."

Chen Ling leaned against the wall, pulled out the belt around his waist, and handed it to Gu Yunzhi.

"I dare to ask you a question." Gu Yunzhi pondered for a while, "Do you like Miss Shen?"

He tilted his head, "Which one do you like?"

When asked about this, Gu Yunzhi didn't hesitate any longer, "The love between a man and a woman."

Chen Ling laughed, "In your perception, am I a man without measure?"

"You are restrained and self-disciplined in the relationship between men and women, so I am curious why you treat Miss Shen special."

With so many women, there are many who match Chen Ling, and the only enthusiasm he has is given to Shen Zhen.

But Shen Zhen was the one he shouldn't be enthusiastic about.

Gu Yunzhi has worked beside Chen Ling for 12 years, from driver to secretary.

Chen Ling rose step by step, and he also rose step by step.

Getting along day and night, he knew Chen Ling better than the members of the Chen family.

Chen Ling's self-control is not so strong, he is almost a robot, but if he is easily moved by his children's love, he has already been buried in the dragon's den and tiger's den.

To be tenacious and ruthless is his deep-rooted principle, for life, for the peace of the world.

This doesn't mean that he doesn't have emotions and desires, and he doesn't have the nature of a man.

The men in the Chen family are very bored.

Deep, wise, and heavy on the city.

This kind of person has ups and downs in his life, full of wind and rain.

Marriage is their habitat, not the Colosseum.

Girls who are simple, lively and obsessed with love often have an instant attraction to them.

They have no choice but to choose a life in which profit outweighs love, and instead want a woman whose love outweighs profit.

It is their taboo to fall in love and play tricks.

Chen Ling said at this moment, "I like it."

Gu Yunzhi was startled.

Chen Ling sat on the leather couch at the end of the bed, "But let's stop here."

"Have you changed your mind after learning that Ms. Shen is the second son's girlfriend?" Gu Yunzhi looked at him, "There are still concerns about identity and age from beginning to end."

Chen Ling poked the tassel fringe on the edge of the lampshade with his index finger, "There is no point in entanglement with things that have no results."

***

In the guest room in the south courtyard, Shen Zhen drew the curtains with bare feet. Most of the snow on the plane trees in the courtyard had been melted away, dripping down the windows.

The door creaked suddenly, and she acted as a nanny, "Sister Fen, I don't drink milk."

"what do you drink."

"I drink--"

It's a man's voice.

She froze instinctively, and then, her whole body was restrained from behind by slender arms.

The man's black coat was frozen hard, wrapped in the smell of icy snow, just like him, elegant, indifferent, noble and full of distance.

Shen Zhen trembled, "Why are you back?"

Chen Chongzhou laughed angrily, "If I don't go back to Chen's house, where should I go?"

She struggled, "The nanny doesn't knock when entering the house, you should pay attention to some influences."

"I hug women, what's in their way." He didn't let go.

Shen Zhen turned his head, his face was close at hand, Chen Chongzhou's skin was impeccable, he was old, not fat at all, his lines were tight and firm, his skin was warm and greasy like white jade, like the most sophisticated sketch, a stroke Pen drawing, mosaic, polishing, deep and beautiful.

At this moment, the cold air on his body was heavy, but his breathing was extraordinarily hot, sometimes it was cool, and sometimes it was hot, which made her feel uncomfortable and her limbs tensed.

"Whose woman are you hugging?"

The bridge of Chen Chongzhou's nose was buried in her neck. Shen Zhen burned the fire during the day, and his clothes were stained with dust. Therefore, after taking a bath in the evening, his exposed skin was scented with a mixture of orchids and milk, which made him fascinated, so he kissed it. Grinding, his voice was intoxicated and hoarse, "My woman."

"The Chen family likes me to be your sister-in-law."
