Zhonghai, Ruijin Hospital.

After a shower, the sun penetrated the clouds, and the inpatient building surrounded by green space was filled with a refreshing aroma of earth and grass.

"Just ran back in such a dashing manner, not afraid of a fire in the backyard?"

The old man leaned back in his chair and said casually, compared to the last time they met, the old man's figure and cheeks are now thinner, and the wide coat can't hide the dryness and weakness of his body, except for his eyes, which are still bright!

"It's definitely a little worried, after all, everything there is the result of my own hard work." Chen Mingyuan smiled and said: "But in this situation, instead of continuing to roast me on the fire, I still think that it will be better for me to withdraw temporarily, and from the perspective of a bystander, I may be able to see this deep pool more thoroughly." ”

The old man smiled, and all the wrinkles on his face were stretched, "Yes, yes, I am getting better and better, and I know how to avoid the edge for the time being." Immediately, he sighed faintly and said: "It's okay to leave for a while, the pool of water in Wenhai is indeed too deep, if you continue to stir it in, not only will it not help, but you may continue to be used as a target, and at that time, you will really lose all your efforts." ”

Chen Mingyuan nodded lightly, the reason why he took the initiative to apply for sick leave this time was also a last resort, Huang Shishen's bizarre escape and his own murder have already indicated that there will be a new round of big storm towards Ruining, the strength of this storm is far greater than he imagined, and he may be able to win a chance to win if he hides out temporarily.

"But then again, who do you think will be behind the organization's attack on you?" The old man asked suddenly, a flash of sharpness in his eyes.

Chen Mingyuan shook his head and said: "I can't be sure for the time being, but it will definitely not be Liang Qiru." ”

The old man raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.

"In fact, many people, including myself, once suspected that Liang Qiru was behind the scenes." Chen Mingyuan analyzed in an orderly manner: "But afterwards, no matter what I think, I think that as long as Liang Qiru has a little normal thinking, he will not do such a clumsy and inferior trick, and once the matter gets bigger, it will not be good for him." ”

Chen Mingyuan is still very sure of this speculation.

Although Liang Qiru would have been eager to get rid of himself, but with his city government, he would never do such an outrageous thing at this juncture, not to mention that Ruining and Wen Haigang had just experienced a turbulent turmoil, and he had just assumed the post of secretary of the municipal party committee, and he was in urgent need of a stable situation, in case of any bloody trouble, he would not be happy.

To put it bluntly, Liang Qiru's current attitude towards himself is roughly to guard against himself and stabilize himself.

The old man bowed his head approvingly, and said in a condensed voice: "Then according to you, which thing with no eyes will fan the flames behind it?" ”

"If Ruining is in trouble at this time, who is the most beneficial, then whoever is most suspicious!" Chen Mingyuan frowned and said: "As for who it is, I can't confirm it yet, but I think that the mastermind should not have surfaced yet, and it is estimated that he is still paying attention to the situation of Ruining, and he will only take advantage of the opportunity." ”

"The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind!" The old man was cold, tapped the armrest with a few fingers, and said slowly: "There are too many people staring at this cake of Ruining, you are the one who controls this cake, and it is normal for them to find loopholes from you, huh...... You asked for leave to leave temporarily, just to deliberately expose the gap and attract the mastermind to show up, right? ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled silently, obviously the plan in his heart was clearly seen by the old man.

The old man sighed and said, "Actually, earlier, your third uncle and I were just looking forward to you exercising in Ruining, who would have thought that you would make this closed place so impressive, and now I want to transfer you away, let alone you, I can't bear it." ”

"Well, it can't be avoided, since some people want to take advantage of the chaos, you should let them first, I want to see what tricks these despicable thieves have!"

After saying the most, the old man's eyes narrowed, and both his tone and demeanor revealed a bit of fierceness that looked at the world, just like the political tyrant who once dominated Zhonghai in the past!

However, after all, the years are unforgiving, and after speaking, the old man seems to feel tired again, and he can't help but take two breaths.

Chen Mingyuan advised: "Grandpa, it's too stuffy outside, why don't you go back to your room to rest." ”

"It's fine." The old man waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "It's rare to have a rain, the weather is cool, you don't know how to do it, you smell the smell of potions all over the house every day, not to mention how uncomfortable it is, if it goes on like this, I won't get sick and die, I have to suffocate to death first!" ”

Chen Mingyuan was quite funny when he heard him, and he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

According to the hospital, today, the prostate and pancreatic tumors hidden in the old man's body have become larger and larger, resulting in deteriorating physical functions, which cannot be removed, and can only be barely controlled by medicine.

But everyone knows that this is just the only time left for the old man, and it has been delayed a little......

At this time, the old man suddenly whispered, "Are there any cigarettes?" I want to smoke one. ”

Chen Mingyuan was stunned and immediately shook his head.

"Alas, you can't be like them, and I don't have lung problems." The old man widened his eyes and said with a straight face: "No one can see it here, hurry up, I'll take two small bites, take medicine and sleep every day, my old bones are uncomfortable enough!" ”

Chen Mingyuan knew that patients with terminal illness were definitely not suitable for smoking, but when he met the old man's expectant look, he couldn't bear it, and then remembered that there was not much time left for his grandfather to die, so he hesitated for a moment, and still took out a cigarette from his pocket: "Just two sips, not one more!" ”

"Zhilu said, mother-in-law's mother-in-law's is more verbose than your grandmother!" The old man immediately pulled out one, lit it with a lighter, took a big breath, and then his face showed a look of comfort and satisfaction, and suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Alas, speaking of your grandmother, I still remember when I was young, she urged me to quit smoking from time to time, and I promised every time, but I have never fulfilled it after this life...... That's the only promise I haven't made with your grandmother. ”

Chen Mingyuan couldn't help but smile: "Listening to my aunt, grandma was very strong when she was young. ”

"No, she is actually the head of the family." The old man smiled with emotion: "But outside, she still gives me face, especially the big things, I make the decision, but there is one big thing, she refutes my meaning." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Your parents' marriage." The old man held a cigarette and sighed: "As soon as the Great Revolution ended, I saw your father leading your mother home from the countryside of Shudi, and still holding you in swaddling clothes, I got into a big fire on the spot, scolded your father firmly, blasted out of the house, and sent cruel words, if your father doesn't send your mother and son back, don't want to step into the house half a step in this life." ”

The corners of Chen Mingyuan's mouth twitched, and an indescribable taste came to his heart.

The old man glanced at him and said, "Do you blame me for being ruthless?" Without waiting for Chen Mingyuan to respond, he turned his head and continued to look into the distance, saying: "That kind of mood, you may not understand, after the Great Revolution, what did our family fall into, I was bent on reviving the family, but I was also old at the time, I can only hope that your father will provoke the beam, he is also the most optimistic about me, the so-called deep responsibility of love, seeing your father so unself-loved, I was dizzy." ”

"Fortunately, with your grandmother here, I didn't make a big mistake, at that time she went out of the house to pick you up from your mother's arms, and then hugged me, and said that this child looks like me, at that time I saw you crying, my heart was soft, so I compromised to settle you down first."

After he finished speaking word by word, his face was especially smiling, as well as a little sad, "Maybe your father was stimulated by this, in order to give your mother and son an identity, he worked very hard later, and this fight turned out to be ......."

Chen Mingyuan's eyes were also red, and he raised his hand and gently patted the old man's shoulder.

The old man took two deep breaths, waved his hand, and said in a dry voice: "This mistake has not let go of me for most of my life, so this time in your affairs, I am angry, but seeing that you and your father have the same temper at any cost for the sake of love, I still want to try to help you get things done, just make up for some of the mistakes of the year, then speaking, if you still have a grudge against me, it is normal......"

"Say no more, grandpa." Chen Mingyuan said softly: "You have done enough, and you are already content to be a child and grandchild." ”

The old man smiled with relief, and after stepping on the cigarette on the ground, he said: "In the past two days in Zhonghai, accompany your mother more, she almost broke her heart a while ago, you have to do your filial piety...... Then, you go to Sioux City, go to Mujiayuan with your third uncle, don't worry, the joints of your relationship with that Mu girl are almost opened, and even He Lao has come forward to intercede with you......"

Halfway through his words, he suddenly smiled meaningfully, "You kid, this luck is really not shallow, for your business, I have alarmed Qu Lao and Xiao Lao, otherwise with the strange temper of the old woman of the Mu family, it is not so easy to stop, so when you finish dealing with the affairs of Su Cheng, go to Yanjing again, and thank them in person, whether they can stand it or not, you have brought it to you." ”

Chen Mingyuan nodded, no need for the old man to say, he is also ready to take advantage of this long vacation to go to Yanjing to visit Ning Lizhong and other old people.

"Oh, there's another man, you...... Let's pay a visit, too. The old man raised his index finger, and his face suddenly became a little grim, "This person, it's time for you to see it, keep some incense as much as possible, and the impact on you and your family will not be less in the future." ”

Chen Mingyuan's heart moved, "Who?" ”

"One of He Xiangdong's staff, you should have seen it when you were a child." The old man said with a complicated face: "Vice Chairman Zong Kaitai! ”
