Lin Rui and Jiang An returned to his hometown, an ordinary small town. Like most counties in winter, it is withered and cold. There is no shortage of high-rise buildings and beautiful cars on the streets, while the streets of the old town are dilapidated and undignified. The people here come across as frank and lazy, self-defeating like a neighborhood.

Lin Rui found his grandfather in the sanatorium, but he could only stay away because Lin Rui didn't know what kind of identity to use to see him. High-profile nursing homes with a strict system where visitors are required to register their identities in addition to their loved ones. And Lin Rui didn't even have a way to prove his kinship, and he didn't want to leave any traces that would attract attention.

So, he just walked into his grandfather's room alone and left Kishi outside.

The old man on the bed was so thin that his heart ached. His grandfather was still confused, repeating these broken words that had no connection with each other. He stretched out his hand to touch the old man's wrinkled face again. But halfway through, he took it back again, just helping his grandfather cover the quilt.

He stood in the hospital room for more than an hour at a time. When I came out, I felt like I had lost my soul.

Shokishi held him up and whispered, "How's it going?"

Lin Rui shook his head, "He's still in a coma, I want to go to the doctor to ask about the situation." ”

"Okay, I'll go with you. Shogishi nodded.

Lin Rui pushed open the door of the office and found the doctor in charge. Ask him directly about his grandfather.

"You're talking about Mr. Lin, who are you?" the doctor said to the two young men a little strangely.

"Family. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "How is his current situation?"

"To be honest, it's not optimistic. The doctor sighed. "Mr. Lin's health is very poor, and he was found to have cancer during the physical examination, plus a variety of senile chronic diseases. We thought of a lot of options, and due to our limited strength, we even transferred him to the hospital for treatment. But the situation is not very ideal, and as a family member, I am afraid it is difficult to accept. But all I can say is that his time is running out and I'm sorry. ”

"Is there no way to do it at all?" Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"Tomorrow he will be transferred to the hospital again for chemotherapy, and we really tried our best, even if it is a conservative estimate, he will not have more than two weeks. The doctor shook his head regretfully. "Maybe you should spend more time with him and let him go through his last days as much as possible. ”

Lin Rui's heart gradually sank, although he had prepared before, hearing the news in person still made him a little unbearable. Jiang An's love was not right, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Lin Rui, let's go out first." ”

Lin Ruiqiang said goodbye to the doctor calmly, and then walked outside and took a deep breath.

"Don't be sad, at least you're still by his side now." ”

"You won't understand. Lin Rui shook his head, "You may not know that I decided to follow the silver wolf in the first place so that he could have a better life." From freezing West Siberia to the heat of Black Africa, no matter how difficult the situation may be, I always feel that there is something that keeps me alive. But now, I suddenly feel like this mental support is suddenly going to collapse. I don't know what to do?"

"Lin Rui, you need to calm down. Our families will leave us at the end of the day. It's a process, and we should learn to adapt. At first, you may not get used to it, but after a long time, you will gradually get used to it. "Jiang An said helplessly.

"You won't understand. You've been abroad since you were a child, and apart from your skin color and hair, you're fundamentally an American. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "You don't understand China, and you won't understand Chinese's heart." I will not understand the Chinese understanding of the family. ”

"I understand, Lin Rui. Chinese is an obsession in the hearts of overseas Chinese. No matter where we are or what nationality we carry in our arms, we still consider ourselves Chinese. No one in the world values the meaning of family more than we do. But there's no way we can keep anybody. Children will leave home when they grow up, and the elderly will gradually die. Life and death are not sorrows, but normal. Shogan shook his head and said, "It's just how we treat it." ”

"You know? I was standing in front of my grandfather's bed, and I couldn't bear to reach out and touch him, because I always felt that I was covered in blood and gunpowder. I don't think he would like that, he probably wouldn't like me touching him with a bloody hand. Maybe I shouldn't have left two years ago. Lin Rui muttered.

"But you left anyway. You left for him, and now you are back for him. Even with bloody hands, you are still his grandson. Never betray each other, this is the meaning of family. Shogishi patted him and said, "Let's go, soon those who are following will find us." I don't think you're going to want to lure them here. As for your grandfather, we can come back tomorrow. ”

Lin Rui nodded, turned around and walked out of the nursing home.

In MSS's office, Qin Chuan's brows furrowed after receiving the call, "What? Those two people have been missing for two hours, and they are back in your sight just now?

"Team Qin, we have been misled. Today they took a taxi out of the hotel, and then were dropped into the taxi by mobile phone, and we tracked the phone around the city for half a circle before we found out. When they returned, they actually called the taxi company at the hotel and found their mobile phones. The person sent to monitor said helplessly.

"You have been found again?" Qin Chuan frowned.

"This time we are far away, there should be none. However, they may go to the city hospital tomorrow. The Watcher whispered, "One of our team members heard it when they walked by." ”

"Hospital?" Qin Chuan frowned, "Are they sick? or go to a patient?" and check that hospital immediately. ”

"An investigation is already underway. However, it is a big hospital, and it may be difficult to systematically investigate without attracting attention. ”

Qin Chuan sneered, "Do you want me to teach you how to do it by hand?" Before the afternoon, I want you to get a copy of the information of all the inpatients, and check one by one whether there is any connection between them and Lin Rui.

Let you monitor, but you can't monitor well. This time, let you check the information, you won't even be able to check the information, right? If you are transferred from the countryside to an ordinary household registration policeman, you will not be able to do it again, so you will leave as soon as possible and leave the Ninth Bureau. I don't have idlers here. ”

He dropped the phone with a bang, his brows furrowed. "What the hell are these two boys doing?"
