Jiang Xiaoyan suddenly appeared in Zhao Ming's shop, which really startled Zhao Ming, he thought that Jiang Xiaoyan was looking for something for him, but in the end, he found out that he came to thank him.

But what Zhao Ming didn't expect was that Jiang Xiaoyan was so tyrant, it was just a few thousand yuan of medical expenses, and he actually took out a thick pile of money to thank himself.

Of course, Zhao Ming can't accept this money, she has always thought that there is a cycle of cause and effect in this world, and good people will eventually be rewarded, and if she has done a good deed today, she will definitely get help from others in the future.

So of course he can't accept the tens of thousands of yuan in thank you fees.

"Okay, it just so happens that I'm about to get off work, let's go eat now" Zhao Ming glanced up at the time, it was already more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it happened to be a meal when he arrived at the place to eat at this time.

When he returned to the house, he changed into his work clothes, changed into casual clothes, and told Sun Qing that he had something to do today and wanted to get off work early.

Originally, it was to help Sun Qing get such a rare treasure, Sun Qing was still fiddling with it in the office, and directly Sun Qing held a professional magnifying glass in his hand and repeatedly agreed to Zhao Ming's request.

"This woman saw what she liked, and she was really desperate......" Zhao Ming was a little speechless, he didn't expect Sun Qing to forget about his great benefactor so quickly, and he didn't ask what he was doing when he got off work early

If it was Sun Qing and knew that Zhao Ming and Jiang Xiaoyan, such a stunner would go out to eat, I don't know if Sun Qing would be jealous in her heart.

Zhao Ming thought so in his heart.

The two of them took a taxi to a relatively famous Western restaurant in Dongcheng, Zhao Ming could see from Jiang Xiaoyan's dress that he was a sophisticated woman, so he didn't choose to go to a relatively low place like a food stall.

However, Zhao Ming has always had a question in his heart, why Jiang Xiaoyan has a daughter, but there is no trace of her husband, just like when she found out that Jiang Xiaoyan was poisoned by gas yesterday, he couldn't find her husband's phone number in his address book.

Could it be that she is a widow?

Zhao Ming hurriedly shook his head, how could he think so, but Zhao Ming's heart thought of Jiang Xiaoyan, if she was a widow, then she must ......

"What am I thinking? Zhao Ming quickly shook his head and gave himself a slap to sober himself up.

Jiang Xiaoyan picked the best position in a Western restaurant, and the two of them sat down.

Zhao Ming, from Jiang Xiaoyan's ordering behavior, it can be found that Jiang Xiaoyan must be a very particular woman, I saw that the order of his ordering, as well as the etiquette of Western food, are very standard.

This dwarfs Zhao Ming in comparison.

"By the way, I always have a question I haven't asked you. When I was in the hospital yesterday, I didn't find your husband's phone number in your phone, and then I asked your daughter, and your daughter didn't speak. Zhao Ming asked.

"Uh......" Jiang Xiaoyan, hearing Zhao Ming ask this, it seemed that he had expected it a long time ago, but when he thought about the answer to this question, his face was ugly, as if he recalled something sad.

"What's wrong with you? Why did your face suddenly become so ugly. Zhao Ming was a little flustered. He didn't know if he had said the wrong thing and embarrassed Jiang Xiaoyan so much.

"It's okay...... My husband died. Jiang Xiaoyan hurriedly responded to Zhao Ming, his voice was very low, as if he recalled something very painful.

"I'm sorry......" Zhao Ming realized that he had said the wrong thing, and then quickly apologized.

"It's okay, I've actually gotten used to it for so many years, but now I can't help but feel sad when I think about it. Jiang Xiaoyan raised her head and looked at Zhao Ming with a smile.

The more Jiang Xiaoyan looked at Zhao Ming, the more like her own brother, and that intimate feeling made Jiang Xiaoyan want to confide everything to Zhao Ming.

"Actually, my husband ......" Jiang Xiaoyan slowly recounted his experience, after all, he hadn't told anyone about these things for many years, and the painful emotions he had suppressed for many years were suddenly released.

It turned out that Jiang Xiaoyan's husband was a soldier. As a family member of a soldier, he has only been able to see his husband for a long time, and his husband is a soldier with a lot of status.

Once, when he was out on a mission, he exchanged fire with the enemy, and the enemy attacked the rear and killed Jiang Xiaoyan's husband.

Hearing this, Zhao Ming could also guess that Jiang Xiaoyan's husband should be a special soldier or an armed police officer or something.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to perform such a dangerous task.

Jiang Xiaoyan told Zhao Ming that this project was where he and her husband met and met. Dongcheng carries too many good memories for the two of them, so after he took care of the things in his hometown, he and his daughter came to this place where she fell in love with her husband.

After listening to these stories told by Jiang Xiaoyan, Zhao Ming lowered his head and fell into deep thought, he didn't expect Jiang Xiaoyan's experience to be so tragic, it is not easy to know the families of soldiers.

In particular, the family members of soldiers with special status like this risk their lives all the time, but their responsibilities are far greater than their personal interests, so they sometimes sacrifice their families.

In the final analysis, Jiang Xiaoyan is a miserable woman.

"I'm sorry for reminding you of so many sad memories. Zhao Ming was annoyed in his heart why he asked Jiang Xiaoyan about such a thing, the death of a loved one was already a very painful thing, and you still had to rub salt on other people's wounds.

"It's okay, do you know why I'm talking to you about this. Jiang Xiaoyan smiled and shook his head, in his opinion, Zhao Ming and his younger brother were very similar, so there was no need for Zhao Ming to apologize to him.

"Why?" Zhao Ming asked.

"I have a younger brother and we have had a good relationship since we were young, very good, and we both have a deep relationship. Although Dongcheng is a place where my husband and I met, know and love, it is inevitable that people will feel panic in this foreign environment. Jiang Xiaoyan slowly explained to Zhao Ming.

"But when I see you, it's like I think of my brother, because you look so much like my brother. So much so that when I first saw you, I thought my brother was coming with me. Jiang Xiaoyan burst out laughing, and Zhao Ming looked at Jiang Xiaoyan's smile and indulged in it.

What a beautiful smile.

"That's why I'm going to talk to you about this kind of thing, which can be regarded as my own confession, because after all, a person is depressed, this kind of thing has been too long, and it slowly becomes sick in my heart. You'll understand me, right?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked embarrassedly.

Of course Zhao Ming wouldn't mind. Zhao Ming was originally a kind person, and he also liked to help others, in his opinion, Jiang Xiaoyan's confiding was an affirmation of himself, after all, people don't believe your words, and people won't tell you this.

"Don't worry, since you orphans and widows have come to such a place, and no one has helped you, then if you encounter any difficulties in the future, come to me. Speaking of which, I've always wanted to have a sister, and if you don't mind, you can treat me as your brother. Zhao Ming swore that in his eyes, Jiang Xiaoyan was just a very weak woman.

If you are a big man, you can help as much as you can, after all, good people have good rewards.

"Thank you so much......" Jiang Xiaoyan was obviously moved by Zhao Ming's actions, and then he raised his red wine glass.

"Thank you. With that, he raised his glass and drank it all.

After the two of them had a meal, because Jiang Xiaoyan still had to pick up her daughter, they said goodbye to Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming returned home with great emotion, thinking about what happened that day, first he came across the ivory microsculpture in the rare agarwood pen holder. Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xiaoyan also told her tragic experience, which made Zhao Ming's heart very uncomfortable.

Just as Zhao Ming was about to go to bed, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

Zhao Ming grabbed his mobile phone and looked at it boredly, it turned out to be a newly received text message from an unknown number.

Click on it and take a look, there are two big characters printed on it.

"Help me"

Zhao Ming sat up suddenly, and he felt a thrill all over his body.

"This number ......" Zhao Ming hurriedly called the hospital yesterday to confirm whether the owner of this phone number was Jiang Xiaoyan?

As a result, the answer on the other end of the phone came in the affirmative.

Zhao Ming suddenly felt that something was wrong. Didn't Jiang Xiaoyan go to pick up her daughter? How could she send him a life-saving text message?

Is it possible?

You must know that the security in Dongcheng is not very good, if a beauty like Jiang Xiaoyan is targeted by some gangsters.

Zhao Ming hurriedly shook his head, he didn't dare to continue thinking about it. He didn't know what was going on on the other end of the line, so he quickly dialed a phone number.

"Hey, Liu Gang?" Liu Gang's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Zhao Ming immediately thought of Liu Gang, after all, in this Dongcheng, Liu Gang exists as a rich second generation.

Moreover, Liu Bang also revealed to Zhao Ming that he knew some friends from the police station, and Zhao Ming knew that if he called the police in a hurry, it would not play any role.

Because 72 hours after the person goes missing, the police station will open a case for investigation.

So he had no choice but to use his connections.

"Liu Gang, didn't you tell me that you know a friend from the police station? Now I need your help. My sister looks like she has been kidnapped. Zhao Ming organized the language in a panic, trying to express the seriousness of this matter as much as possible.

"What, your sister, why haven't I heard that you have another sister?" asked Liu Gang over there.

"When is this coming, do I still have to explain to you where this sister came from? Now you hurry up and call your friends at the police station and tell them to organize people to find people!" Zhao Ming was carried away by this sudden situation, and he shouted.
