As soon as he got off the plane, Jiang Ge shivered from the cold air in the north.After picking up the luggage, he immediately turned over a big cotton jacket and put it on.

Coming out of the airport, the two found a random noodle shop and sat down to have dinner. Jiang Ge held the hot water cup and said, "It's only November, why is it so cold, luckily I prepared thick clothes."

"It will be warmer after eating," Xue Yiyang said, "Have you contacted Lawyer Zhao?"

Jiang Ge nodded, "He said that we will talk about it in detail when we meet tomorrow, let's find a place to rest today."

Two days ago, Jiang Ge suddenly received a call from the publishing house to contact him. Only after he answered did he realize that the caller was Lawyer Zhao who was in charge of his father's case.

Lawyer Zhao told him on the phone that a big tiger fell in the north at the beginning of the year, and it was the one who had a relationship with his father back then.The cases related to him have to be dug up and re-investigated. A few days ago, the incident of his father was finally found out. If the supplementary evidence is found out and the sentence can be heavy, his father may still be released from prison in this lifetime.

After learning about this, Jiang Ge immediately packed up his things and headed north.Originally, he only wanted to come here alone, but Xue Yiyang insisted on coming with him, so he agreed.

"Is it okay at the studio?" Jiang Ge looked at Xue Yiyang who replied to the email and confirmed again.

"It's okay." Xue Yiyang put away the phone, began to scald the chopsticks with hot water, and wiped them carefully with a paper towel. "It's more important to deal with your father's case first."

The two of them ate noodles and drank hot soup, which made them feel warm all over.

"How does this mutton soup taste?" Jiang Ge asked Xue Yiyang.

Xue Yiyang frowned slightly, put down the bowl, and then wiped off the water stains on the table, "It's okay, but I'm not used to the smell."

"I was not used to it when I first ate it, but I gradually found it delicious," Jiang Ge said with a smile, "I feel a little nostalgic when I eat it now."

The hotel was booked in advance, the two of them left their luggage and had nothing to do for a while, so Jiang Ge proposed to go outside for a walk together.

Xue Yiyang was not familiar with this place, but Jiang Ge had lived there for nearly a year, so he took him around.

"This Guokui is super delicious," Jiang Ge said, pointing to a shop on the side of the road, "but I can't eat it today."

"It will be the same next time." Xue Yiyang said as he took his hand and stuffed it into the pocket of his padded jacket.

"In front is the ancient city wall," Jiang Ge said, "I heard that there was a big battle here in ancient times, and there are still traces of fire on the city wall."

"Then go and have a look." Xue Yiyang replied.

The two walked slowly along the old city wall. The mottled marks on the stone wall can indeed tell the age.

But both of them understood each other, in fact, neither of them was in the mood to go shopping.

Jiang Ge once thought that he had accepted the fact that his father would spend his whole life in prison, but he never forgot the fact that he was beaten up and his father was sentenced to life after waking up.

Later, he went to make unannounced visits with Wang Facai, which was largely influenced by this incident.He also once hated why justice and legal principles are no match for power and status, why there are still so many crimes hidden in the shadows behind the sun even though it is already a modern society.

Now that his father had a chance to reverse the case, he was nervous that if he didn't succeed, his hopes would turn into disappointment.

He would think too much when he was idle in the hotel room. He had already thought enough all the way from Dingchuan, but he couldn't relax when he walked on the noisy street.

"Is this place close to where you lived before?" Xue Yiyang asked him suddenly.

"Ah?" Jiang Ge replied after a moment of hesitation, "Fortunately...it's quite close."

"Then let's go take a look."

In fact, it was only one bus stop away, and the two quickly walked downstairs to Jiang Ge's rental house.

A few years have passed, and the dilapidated park next to it has been fenced off, and a sign has been erected, which seems to be some kind of reconstruction project.

The street scene is very different from before, and the old building is still the same as before, with lights coming from the windows of the residents, making it look less lifeless.

The two walked a few steps forward and saw a notice posted at the entrance of the corridor, saying that the building would be demolished soon, requiring all residents to move out before the end of the year.

"Where did you live before?" Xue Yiyang asked.

Jiang Ge took a few steps back and looked up to see that the room he had rented was not lit, so he said, "Let's go up and have a look."

They went upstairs together, and Jiang Ge's house seemed to be unoccupied, and the door was open. I don't know if there was no one renting it or the residents had moved out.

But it happened that the two of them went in.Jiang Ge turned on the light, and the incandescent light illuminated the small room. Xue Yiyang walked over and stood by the bed, just in time to see the old park that was being renovated opposite through the window.

"Eh? This is still here."

Xue Yiyang heard the sound and looked over. Jiang Ge was standing by the wall, and there was a picture hanging on the wall.

"At that time, I was practicing my hand. I thought the painting was okay, so I posted it here. I didn't expect that no one would take it down after several years." Jiang Ge said.

Just a simple piece of sketch paper taped to the wall with clear glue.There has been a color difference between the stuck part and the part exposed to the air, and time has eroded the drawing paper to a yellowish color.

The person drawn in pencil on the paper was sitting sideways in front of the desk, with a slight gentle smile on his face, the outline of the side face was clear and distinct, and a perfect shadow was formed between the jaw and the neck.

Xue Yiyang couldn't help reaching out and touching himself on the drawing paper a few years ago.

"It's a really good painting." Jiang Ge stared at the painting and said, then looked down at his hands.

Looking up again, I saw that Xue Yiyang was already taking off the painting, "Why do you take it down?"

"I drew it," Xue Yiyang tore it carefully, fearing to damage the drawing paper, "so now it belongs to me."

Although the painting was not torn off by others, it was covered with stains and dust after a long time, but Xue Yiyang took it off just like that, and held it in his hand like a treasure.

"It's all dust." Jiang Ge said.

By the way, isn't this person a clean freak now?

"Wipe it and it will be fine." Xue Yiyang said.

Back at the hotel in the evening, Jiang Ge came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and happened to see Xue Yi Yang carefully wiped the painting clean, put it in a file bag and put it in the suitcase.

He wiped his wet hair with a towel, he didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes were a little disappointed.

Early the next morning, they went to the law firm to meet Lawyer Zhao.

It was different from the last time Jiang Ge saw him. Attorney Zhao was fat in his middle age and had a beer belly, but his face was flushed and he looked very energetic.

As soon as we met, he said: "This time I am very sure, maybe I will be released in court."

Jiang Ge's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Lawyer Zhao laughed, "Of course this is the best idea."

After several people discussed the case, Jiang Ge also had a bottom line in his mind.

This time the senior official's fall was implicated in his father's case. Not only was the account problem they discovered back then, but also the evidence that he threatened Jiang's father was found, which was kept in the hands of the senior official's secretary.The secretary originally wanted to use those phone audios to protect himself, but he didn't expect that the leader would fall before he could use them.

In order to reduce the sentence, the secretary took out all the evidence that had been preserved for several years. The evidence was so strong that Dad Jiang was really saved.

Xue Yiyang was also relieved, he knew that Father Jiang had always been in Jiang Ge's heart.It's like a thorn stuck in the flesh. It seems that the wound can heal if you don't care about it, but it will still hurt when you touch it. You have to pick out the thorn to really count it.

Leaving from Lawyer Zhao, Jiang Ge's footsteps became much lighter.

This day happened to be a day when we could visit, the two of them bought some warm clothes and took them to see Dad Jiang.

Jiang Ge hadn't seen his father for two or three years, and when he suddenly saw his father's white hair on the sideburns that could be seen even with a short cut, he felt sore and called out, "Dad."

Father Jiang ignored him, and looked at Xue Yiyang next to him, "Why are you here?"

When Jiang Ge came to the north alone to look for him, he knew that the kid surnamed Xue had fallen out with his son, and he was relieved. Why are the two getting involved again now?

"Hello, Uncle." Xue Yiyang was rarely nervous in the past few years, "I came here with Jiang Ge."

Father Jiang took another look at Jiang Ge's expression, and knew that the two had rekindled their old relationship, and he was surprised but didn't say anything.

Jiang Ge told his father about the case, and ended by saying: "Fortunately, he was brought down, otherwise you would really be in prison for the rest of your life."

Father Jiang knew about Jiang Ge's injury, so he simply confessed.He received life imprisonment and confiscation of all property, and only asked them not to hurt Jiang Ge again.

Although he has already heard the news from Lawyer Zhao, he couldn't help but get red eyes when he told his son face to face.

The father and son chatted about the recent situation, but Jiang Ge didn't mention his unannounced visit. His father always thought that he was an art training class tutor in Dingchuan.

Jiang Ge opened his eyes and made up nonsense, "...children nowadays are very precocious, asking me every day if I have a girlfriend."

Father Jiang glanced at Xue Yiyang, "The girlfriend is nowhere to be seen, but instead brought a big man."

Jiang Ge smirked, "It's not the first day you know."

The visiting time was coming to an end soon, but Father Jiang asked Jiang Ge to go out first. He had two words to say to Xue Yiyang.

Jiang Ge had no choice but to come out and wait outside alone. After waiting for too long, Xue Yiyang came out.

"What did my dad tell you?" Jiang Ge leaned over and asked.

Xue Yiyang looked relaxed and happy, and teased Jiang Ge: "I won't tell you."

Jiang Ge pouted, "I don't care to know."

After a while, he whispered again, "My boyfriend talked to my own father, and I still don't know what he said..."

Xue Yiyang reached out and rubbed his hair, like a shit-shoveling officer snoring a cat, and said, "Good boy."

In the end, he succeeded in winning the roll of the eyes from the master, and gave him a "Bah".
