Chen Chongzhou wiped the tears from the corners of Shen Zhen's eyes, "Go and accompany third uncle." Immediately, he nodded to Ma Boping, "Ma Yuan, borrow a step."

Ma Boping followed him out, and a team of medical staff also left.

Shen Zhen was stunned for a long time, then ran back to the ward and threw herself on Chen Ling, "Third Uncle——"

Chen Ling was overwhelmed by her pressure, but he was reluctant to push away, "Your reflex arc is too long."

"Third Uncle." She looked up at him from bottom to top. In her eyes, she saw his clean-shaven chin, the underside of his beard was a light blue color, his lips were extremely light-colored, he rarely smoked, and he didn't drink alcohol. Even though she has lost a lot of weight after not eating for several months, she is still resolute and strong, as generous as before, "Wipe your body, apply medicine to your wounds, and change your hospital gown—" Shen Zhen snapped his fingers, "It's all me."

The man was silent for a moment, "Wipe yourself."

"Chongzhou is a man. He is strong and not as light as I am. He will hurt third uncle."

Chen Ling smiled slightly, "It's outrageous."

She muttered, "Only the limbs and face were wiped, and Gu Yunzhi wiped the rest."

He regained his energy and raised his hand to rub her cheek, "Crying again? Why do you cry so much, like a little tabby cat."

The man's hands were dry and cool, brushed against the skin, densely covered with calluses, "Third Uncle, did I beat you, have you been unlucky since you knew me?"

Chen Ling thought for a second, "Yes."

"No wonder you got hurt last time, let me stay away from you."

He smiled, "Aren't you far away, this time it's none of your business."

There were footsteps coming and going outside the ward, and the room was warm and quiet.

Shen Zhen's long hair was spread in the crook of his arms, flowing down softly, the brightness under the window blended with the bare snow-white of her neck, emitting a clear cold light.

Chen Ling was grateful for his awakening.

This moment was bright and beautiful, so beautiful that he couldn't remember how cruel the bloody storm was, and how hard it was on the verge of life and death. After eight months of confrontation and suffering, everything was shattered at this moment.

"Do you like locks?"

She said nothing.

"do not like?"

"As long as third uncle is alive and well."

Chen Ling's smile grew stronger, "I promise you." He moved his palm down, and clasped it on her swollen abdomen. With one touch, he quickly stopped, "Five months?"

She sucked her snot, as if asking for credit, "Third uncle, you are going to be a grandfather, are you happy?"

"Shut up, Shen Zhen."

Chen Ling really had nothing to do with her, and when he was half awake, he almost lost his breath when he heard this sentence.

He is senior, in fact, he is only seven years older than Chen Chongzhou.

The eldest is in high school, and he has just graduated from the police academy. He is equally high-spirited, passionate and frivolous.

But fortunately, there was Shen Zhen's endless nonsense, which made him restless, and finally woke up.

Xuese was with her, so it was not the tenderness bestowed by fate.

She held the bowl and fed him water with a spoon, "Third Uncle, your first girlfriend visited you."

Chen Ling froze, looked at Shen Zhen, "She has been here."

"I recalled the stories you used to have. You went to the police academy together. You were assigned to the Chang'an District Bureau. When you broke up, she cried bitterly." Shen Zhen pointed to the window sill, "She gave you the wilted bunch of lilies. I didn't throw it away, I watered it every day for more than a month."

Chen Ling tilted his head, the petals were already withered, yellow and rotten, and he couldn't tell the original appearance.

It's been 15 years since my youth.

Shen Zhen supported his chin with one hand, and tucked his quilt with the other, "Third uncle, the former third aunt didn't wear a diamond ring on her ring finger, but she did on her little finger."

Chen Ling frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Divorce."

He said nothing, his expression indifferent.

"The former third aunt said that if she married you, she would not have the courage to face the man she loves deeply, get hurt and sacrifice, and she has you in her heart."

"The former third aunt." He laughed inexplicably, "I have never been married."

When Chen Chongzhou came back from the dean's office, he hugged Shen Zhen, "Aren't you sleepy? Sleep for a while."

She understood that they had something to say, so she went to the living room outside and closed the door behind her.

Chen Chongzhou sat down, "The horse hospital explained the follow-up rehabilitation plan, and I suggest you stay in the hospital."

"how long."

"Two to three months, make sure to remove the intracranial congestion and remove the old steel nails in your body."

Chen Ling hummed, "Is there any sequelae?"

"Intermittent deafness, blindness, and bone pain. Especially bone pain. When it recurs, the joints and bones of the whole body are worse than life." Chen Chongzhou held down the blood-recovering needle on the back of his hand, "You can't toss about anymore, your body won't allow it."

"old."

Shen Zhen complained that he was old, but he refused to accept it.

Perhaps he is old.

In the past years, in the rain forest on the border of Yunnan, I ambushed black kraits, ate raw meat and wild fruits for seven days and seven nights, and drank river water. The weather was humid and cloudy, and there was no good place for mosquitoes and ants to bite. , The visibility of 100 meters at night, the real skills and the real fight, such a difficult environment just endured.

"I asked Zheng Ye. The wife of the vice president of the court was divorced at the beginning of the year. After marriage, she got together less and divorced more. She has always been at odds and has no children."

Chen Ling's face was calm, "I know."

"You know?"

"Shen Zhen told me that she wears a diamond ring on her little finger, which symbolizes being single."

Chen Chongzhou laughed suddenly, "You're a big kid, and you're usually smart, with sharp eyes."

He struggled to move and tried to sit up, "Second, help me up."

Chen Chongzhou put a pillow behind him, leaning more comfortably, "Is that okay?"

Chen Ling leaned back, exhaled, "Okay." After a while, he spoke again, "I understand your thoughts."

Chen Chongzhou slowed down the flow rate of the infusion, and did not continue, "The flow is too fast, and the heart feels uncomfortable."

"You and Ni Ying, is it possible?"

His fingertips rested on the IV tube.

"Even without Shen Zhen, can I go back?"

Chen Chongzhou lowered his hands slowly, "I understand you."

"You don't understand." Chen Ling looked towards the window, "I was an undercover agent at the age of 26, and I didn't intend to get away and start a family. There are seven emotions and six desires in men and women, and everyone can't help it. You can force it to restrain it, and you can restrain it. I don't need it anymore. Your elder brother You value fame and fortune, you value freedom, everyone has their own considerations."

Chen Chongzhou was silent for a long time, "Back to the second line."

"It's too early." He shook his head, "Wulak was arrested, and his big pony escaped."

At the beginning, Wu Lat was the big horse of the gangsters. Later, when Chen Ling eradicated the gangsters, Wu Lat became the leader. This business made huge profits, and there were many desperadoes. The border between Myanmar and Thailand was chaotic.

Once smuggled into the country from the Southern Triangle, the consequences will be a steady stream of suppression, sacrifice, and reincarnation.

When Chen Ling retired, the experienced old police force would inevitably step up, and another complete family lost its husband, father, and son, and it was torn apart.The grief he endured far exceeded that of him who was alone.

"Back then, I asked Mr. Guo to be transferred to the Serious Crime Unit and worked as a group of criminal police. I never thought about self-protection. The second child, everyone is in danger, everyone is self-protection, the endangered group will be wider, light and justice require sacrifice and fearlessness .”

Chen Chongzhou stared at him, "You revealed your true face this time, and you can't hide your identity at the border."

He laughed, "Commanding behind the scenes, deploying troops, leading teams to arrest, the front line is not just a battlefield for undercover agents."

"Third Uncle." Chen Chongzhou guessed something, "You have always been measured. I respect you in the past and in the future. Shen Zhen also hopes that you are safe and sound."

Chen Ling stared at him, "If you miss it, you will miss it in this life. You should be careful. As for Shen Zhen, it is your responsibility as a husband to take care of her for the rest of her life. No matter where the third uncle is, he will stand up for her. Men are ruthless." You are not allowed to have problems with righteousness."

Chen Chongzhou also stared at him, "Don't worry, third uncle."

***

Zhao Zhikai arranged a four-day blind date for Zhao Jijiu, meeting ten people a day.

There are second-generation children, there are official families, and there are blue-chip stocks with ordinary backgrounds. They have made a fortune by themselves, with an annual salary of one million, private company executives, and elite lawyers.

This kind of group is extremely easy to breed Zhou Haiqiao No. [-].

Squeezed out the father-in-law's family, turned his face ruthlessly, and was full of conspiracy and calculations.To value one's own wealth, one must transcend classes, and there are confidante outside.

Zhao Jijiu's tenth blind date, Zhao Hansheng, is exactly this guy.

Zhao Hansheng is in the circle of celebrities, he is a hard-working man, he has a good appearance, he is willing to buy gifts to please others, he is gentle and honest.

He specifically talked about girls from rich families. According to incomplete statistics, he has talked about twenty girls from other cities, or even from other provinces.

There were four or five of them, who were talking about marriage at one point, but unfortunately his behavior of riding a donkey to find a horse was exposed, and it was all blown up.

There is a family in Lin City named Fan who is in the sanitary ware business. The toilets and sinks of big brands have defects from the factory. He buys them at a low price and sells them to third- and fourth-tier prefecture-level and county-level cities.

On the day of the engagement between the eldest daughter of the Fan family and Zhao Hansheng, he accidentally found a document in his computer mailbox, which listed the family information, hobbies, residential areas and work units of all unmarried rich girls in the local area.

So they parted ways.

The Fan family was unwilling to let their daughter be tricked, and threatened to retaliate against him. Zhao Hansheng fled to this city to settle down in a panic.

He can speak eloquently, has a high degree of education, and a decent position. He is very successful in the small rich circle of this city. The reason why he took the Zhao family line was because a wife in that circle was in the dark and introduced him to him. To Mrs. Zhao.

Zhao Hansheng knows how to show his personal advantages, straight to the point and revealed his academic qualifications, the world's top Columbia University, double masters in law and finance.

The driver accompanying Zhao Jijiu was very satisfied. She sneered, "I am a master's degree from a famous German school. In the upper class, it is not uncommon to have a degree."

The other party was stunned, "Miss Zhao's education is a master's degree?"

She pretended to be surprised, "You spend money to buy a degree, it's just gilded, doesn't Mr. Zhao understand the rules of our circle?"

Zhao Hansheng choked, "Can I buy a degree from a prestigious school?"

Zhao Jijiu acted nonchalantly, "The Zhao family has saved 1000 million euros in a bank in Berlin, and purchased a foreign house worth hundreds of millions of euros. Naturally, I can choose my degree." Zhao Jijiu sucked on the straw, "My mother wants to buy a doctorate, and I No agreement."

He sneered, "Miss Zhao came from a famous family, not my class is qualified to compare."

"As long as you have self-knowledge." Zhao Jijiu nodded, "The class gap is huge, and marriage cannot be harmonious. I ordered a seven-figure Hermès bag, but you can't supply me. I can only reach out to my natal family. What's the use of marrying you? Do you want to raise you? You are not handsome, and you are not young, why should I raise you, to be a philanthropist."

Zhao Hansheng has come into contact with countless thousands of gold, and Zhao Jijiu is the most difficult to deal with. He has built a city wall and has no way to attack.

The surface is white and sweet, but the actual heart is quite clear. He will kill and punish those who are plotting wrongdoing.

It's really not easy to be the son-in-law of the Zhao family, he was embarrassed, "Excuse me, Miss Zhao."

Out of face, Zhao Hansheng took the initiative to check out at the front desk, and was told that Zhao Jijiu was a VIP customer, and he would keep all accounts.

He walked out of the guild hall with brows drooping.

This comprehensive hall is located in the center of Nancheng District. The first floor is the Royal Kitchen restaurant, the second floor is the performing arts hall, and the third floor is the private theater.

The first floor is divided into eight areas, each area is partitioned by a screen carved with golden nanmu, and the roof is inlaid with crystal tassels, which is magnificent and magnificent. The disadvantage is that the sound insulation is poor.

Chen Yuan, who was sent to the next door, listened to Zhao Jijiu's four and a half hours of blind date without distraction.

None of them are reliable.

Li Zhe poured a glass of wine for him, and couldn't help laughing, "This Miss Zhao, talking and laughing to destroy a phoenix man, is hotter than Miss Shen."

Chen Yuan turned the wine glass, without saying a word.

Zhao Zhikai and his wife are smart and sophisticated in the mall, and the blind date they are looking for is really not popular.

It is estimated that Zhao Jijiu chased him and caused a lot of trouble in the city. The Zhao family was eager to appease the laughing stock, and all the capable young heroes were selected.

The driver was confused, "Miss, you don't have a master's degree. You are still [-] points away from the art school. My wife will definitely punish you when she finds out that you are lying nonsense."

Zhao Jijiu cut the steak on the plate, "If you don't betray me, she won't know."

The driver was helpless, "Didn't you like one of the ten today?"

She said nothing.

"Miss, no one is perfect. Those who are capable have no family background, and those who have family background are dandies. If you look at the provincial celebrity circle, the eldest son of the Chen family is indeed both talented and beautiful, but he..."

Zhao Jijiu lost his appetite and dropped his chopsticks, "I mentioned him again! Didn't I give up?"

The driver opened his mouth, "If you delay any longer, there will be few men who can catch your eye."

At this time, Mrs. Zhao's phone call came to the driver, and he connected, and asked, "What's going on?"

The driver glanced at Zhao Jijiu, she clasped her hands together with a look of begging.

"On a date... with the son of the Qin family."

She breathed a sigh of relief and slumped on the chair.

"Qin Jiaming? He has the best qualifications." Mrs. Zhao was overjoyed, "Let them be alone, you are here, how can Mr. Qin have an excuse to show himself, you withdraw quickly, Qin Jiaming will personally send her back to the Zhao family."

The driver hung up, and Zhao Jijiu yawned absent-mindedly, "I'll eat for another hour, and I'll take a taxi back by myself."

"What about the result of being alone?"

"Think I'm too stupid."

The driver didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You can fool Madam, but you can't fool Mr. How stupid are you?"

Zhao Jijiu ordered another fruit salad and French foie gras. The driver just walked away when a man came in behind him.

The man's seat was at table 4, passing by Zhao Jijiu's table 2, he stopped, wrapped his arms around her body, and brought her into his arms, "Oh, Miss Zhao Er, what a coincidence, don't you recognize me?"

Zhao Jijiu looked coldly, "Hu Feng, what are you doing?"

The Hu family is an upstart. In 09, the urban village where they lived was demolished, and more than 30 left-behind villagers held 4.2 square meters of land. The compensation for miscellaneous things totaled [-] million.

Hu Feng's father has a dark heart and is a tyrant in the village. He monopolized the money, and one family only gave 20 yuan to seal it up.

Then he transformed himself into a wholesale business of building materials and became a well-known rich man in the city.This incident was revealed in 13. Hu's family tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and Hu Feng's father was also sentenced. At that time, Hu Feng was studying in Spain and escaped a catastrophe.

Last year, Hu Feng sold his real estate in Spain, returned to China to open a bar, and hired a group of young people to keep an eye on the place, drinking and drinking on weekdays.

"My old man went to Zhao's family to propose marriage at that time, but Zhao Zhikai refused, and I will never forget you." Hu Feng acted dishonestly, poked Zhao Jijiu's collar, bowed his head and kissed her face.

"Hu Feng!" She fought desperately, and a waiter came to stop her, but Hu Feng immediately knocked her down, "Don't fucking meddle—"

Before the words fell, he was taken aback and turned his head in surprise.

Chen Yuan swung his arms across his shoulders and exerted a sudden force. Hu Feng staggered, half of his body seemed to be electrified, and the powerful force made him gasp.

"Mr. Hu." Chen Yuan let go, "I haven't seen you for many years, and the low-class style is even better."

Hu Feng stared wide-eyed, "Chen Yuan...are you not in Hong Kong?"

Chen Yuan sat down on the empty chair beside Zhao Jijiu, lit a cigarette, "Is it unexpected that I am in front of you?"

Zhao Jijiu looked at him, "Are you eavesdropping?"

He breathed out the smoke, "It's fair and aboveboard."

"you--"

"The Chen family has collapsed, your mother is in prison, and you are still in the mood to be a hero to save the beauty." Hu Feng looked at him disdainfully, "Are you planning to get close to the second lady of the Zhao family and create another glory for the Chen family?"

"Presumptuous." Li Zhe kicked Hu Feng's leg, "Young Master Chen is the chairman of Wanwen Group, so you're blind!"

Hu Feng obviously didn't know, "Wanwen is yours?"

Chen Yuan winked at Li Zhe, and the latter greeted the restaurant's security guard, "Call the police immediately, some hooligans are trying to rape female customers."

He turned pale with fright, "Chen Yuan! We have no grievances or enmities, you are meddling too much!"

"Whether the Chen family is in decline or failure is up to you to define. But the men in the Chen family can't bear to be abusive." Chen Yuan dusted off the cigarette ash.

Hu Feng stood up abruptly, grabbed the knife on the table, and stabbed Chen Yuan unexpectedly. Seeing this, Zhao Jijiu almost instinctively leaned over to protect him and stood in front of him.

Chen Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly, he pushed her vigorously, and kicked Hu Feng in the middle of his waist and abdomen. The kick was firm and precise, and Hu Feng fell to the ground with a howl, flying half a meter away.

Li Zhe grabbed him, "Hu Feng, obscenity and intentional injury, you wait to go inside and suffer! Dare to make a move on Chen Dong, you are tired of life—"

Chen Yuan grabbed Zhao Jijiu, still in shock, "Are you sick?"

Being pulled by him, she accidentally smashed the water glass on the edge of the table, "Why do you care about me? I won't bother you anymore, it would be nice if you were quiet."

Chen Yuan was annoyed, "I asked you what to block? It's a knife! Do you think it's a joke?"

"I don't owe you any favors!" Zhao Jijiu's eyes were red, and he fought back tears.

He closed his eyes, tried his best to calm down, ignored her, then got up and left.
