Jiang Jincheng still waited until he got off work in the evening before leaving. He felt uncomfortable tonight, his heart was beating fast and his heart was blocked.

He sighed and covered his chest, not knowing what was wrong for a moment.

After leaning against the police car and smoking a cigarette, Jiang Jincheng sat back in the car. He felt annoyed as he held the cigarette in his mouth. He wanted to hear Xiao Ling's voice.

Xiao Ling hasn't been around him for a long time recently, and it's a bit strange for him to be so clingy and spoiled that he suddenly stops being clingy.

What is he busy with at this time...

The phone rang for a long time but no one answered. The repeated "beeping" sounds made Jiang Jincheng take a deep breath in annoyance.

Under normal circumstances, if Jiang Jincheng couldn't get through the phone, he might not have called again... But tonight, Jiang Jincheng felt uneasy. He wanted to hear Xiao Ling's voice and find out what Xiao Ling was doing.

Jiang Jincheng bit his cigarette and leaned tiredly in the driver's seat. He didn't think about it carefully last night, but today he thought about it carefully. Xiao Ling said he was busy with a mission, but thinking about the injuries he had that night...

Jiang Jincheng let out a breath, watched the call automatically hang up on his phone, and finally dialed it again.

The phone rang for a long time but no one hung up or answered it either. Until the call time was up, only the "beep beep beep" sound remained.

Jiang Jincheng stopped fighting. His heart was beating so fast that he felt nauseous. He finally looked at the time, opened the car door and planned to walk home.

Originally, Xiao Ling's house was only two blocks away from the bureau, and it only took fifteen or sixteen minutes to walk there.

Jiang Jincheng walked alone on the street with a cigarette between his teeth and in his pocket. The street lights were broken tonight, and there was no light in the middle of the night. He could only rely on the scattered lights from the surrounding residential buildings.

He walked back to the familiar villa somewhat numbly, unlocked the fingerprint lock and sat directly on the sofa.

It's already past ten o'clock, and there's still no sound from the phone. This silence makes Jiang Jincheng feel uncomfortable.

He sat for a while, glancing at his phone from time to time. After confirming that there were no missed calls or messages, he reluctantly took his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Jiang Jincheng had just taken off his clothes and soaked in the hot water when his cell phone rang outside.

He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stood up and jumped out of the water. His knees hit the bathtub hard with a dull sound, and the skin there gradually turned black and purple.

Jiang Jincheng didn't care about all that, and didn't even bother to notice that water was still dripping from his body, and just rushed out of the living room to answer the phone.

He didn't dare to speak, he just answered the call directly. He didn't even know if the person calling was Xiao Ling.

After both parties were silent for a long time, a sigh finally came from the other side: "Uncle... why aren't you asleep yet?"

Xiao Ling's voice was very soft, as if he had no strength. It was unknown whether he was tired or injured like last time.

Jiang Jincheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He also softened his tone and trembled as he held the phone for the first time: "I can't sleep... I miss you..."

Xiao Ling was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. His voice was light and soft with the crispness that a teenager should have: "I miss you too..."

"Wife, can you go to bed early? I'll be back soon..."

Xiao Ling seemed to want to reassure Jiang Jincheng. He paused and added, "Can we go home in an hour and a half?"

"so long?"

Jiang Jincheng seemed dissatisfied with this answer. He sighed as if bargaining with someone else: "Can you come back in half an hour?"

Xiao Ling was a little helpless but still coaxed him patiently: "How can you cut off most of it in one go? Well... I'll try to come back in an hour, okay?"

"Wife, go to sleep. That way you won't feel time passing slowly. An hour will go by very quickly."

Finally, under Xiao Ling's patient comfort, Jiang Jincheng reluctantly gave in: "Then come back early, I'll go lie on the bed."

"Okay~"

Xiao Ling said a lot more and told him to have a good rest. He breathed a sigh of relief only after Jiang Jincheng reluctantly hung up the phone.

This time I remembered that I was still naked, and there was a puddle of water on the floor.

But now he didn't feel uncomfortable anymore. After throwing the phone back on the table, he wiped his body clean. He had nothing to do so he just mopped the floor.

Jiang Jincheng checked the time on his phone. He really couldn't sleep, so he thought that if he closed his eyes and waited for an hour, Xiao Ling would come back.

...

"Don't you really need to go to the hospital?"

The policewoman next to him looked at Xiao Ling, who was sitting on the ground just after hanging up the phone, with a little concern. Blood was constantly oozing from his waist and abdomen, wetting the medical bandage that had just been tied.

Xiao Ling shook his head gently, with a little fatigue in his eyes: "If I go to the hospital, I won't be able to go home in an hour..."

"Use some iodine bandage or something in the car to rebandage it. It's cold now and the wound won't get inflamed."

The female police officer glanced at him and didn't try to persuade him anymore. The male colleague next to her obediently found bandages and medicine to help him replace the bloody gauze.

"You too, why did you rush forward without waiting for us to come together? What if he has a gun?"

Xiao Ling smiled, scratched his head and whispered, "I know he didn't... and I was the closest at the time, so I chased him and caught him by luck."

The male police officer beside him was also helpless: "Come on! Did you catch him? Now you are fine, but you were stabbed. Fortunately, the cut was not deep, otherwise you would have been knocked unconscious and sent to the hospital tonight!"

Xiao Ling knew he was in the wrong and didn't try to defend himself. He frowned in frustration, "No wonder we haven't caught him in all these years... He's so cunning... He made a feint to the east and attacked in the west. If I hadn't been careful and waited in the opposite direction, I probably wouldn't have even seen the shadow of the drug lord tonight."

"We have to change the capture route for the next two days. If we don't catch him tonight, he will be like a frightened bird. We can't be as impulsive as we were tonight."

Xiao Ling waited for a while and saw that the gauze was tied, then stood up very decisively: "Thank you for your hard work, you should go back early, it's almost twelve o'clock now, I really have to go."

"Why are you in such a hurry tonight? Could it be that our Captain Jiang missed you? Hahaha..."

The male police officer's teasing made Xiao Ling feel very justified: "My wife just missed me, so what? She just called several times to check on me! If I don't go back quickly, my wife will be unhappy! Originally, we did this without telling him and my dad!"

Xiao Ling was also a bit troubled: "If I go back and tell him that I was stabbed, he will probably blame me for a long time... I can't let him and my dad know..."

The few of them chatted for a while, and Xiao Ling waited until he felt his waist was no longer so painful before he stood up: "I'm leaving! You guys should go back early too. Tomorrow morning we will review the mistakes and loopholes we made tonight, and strive to be more rigorous in the actions that follow."

"Hey, hurry up! Captain Jiang won't let you get on the bed if you go back too late!"

"What are you talking about!"

Xiao Ling was extremely serious the previous second, but his ears turned red when he heard Jiang Jincheng. He stopped chatting with his colleagues, took the keys, drove away in the police car.
