CHAPTER XXII

In the velvet alley, a man dressed as a man hurriedly came to the closed Spring and Autumn Bookstore, knocked lightly, and soon the people in the bookstore opened the door and invited him in.

After the guy entered the door, he was led into the living room on the second floor, where a middle-aged man who looked mild-mannered stood in the living room.

Seeing the guy come in, the middle-aged man unhurriedly put down the pipe in his hand and asked the guy, "Ah Mao, how are things going?" ”

The guy named Ah Mao bent down slightly and said respectfully, "Ninth Master, things are going well. Saying that, Ah Mao raised his eyelids to look at the middle-aged man, and saw that the middle-aged man in front of him had no expression on his face, so he continued: "The second master came back and said that a shot hit the old thing's left shoulder, and a shot hit Xie Yingchang's right arm......" Speaking of this, Ah Mao didn't say anything more, and simply reported the results of the action, then lowered his head and waited for the ninth master in front of him to speak.

Jiu Ye picked up the pipe and wanted to put it to his mouth, but he thought of something and put it down, and then asked, "How is Chen Er?" ”

When Ah Mao heard the second master, a smile appeared on his face: "Ninth master, the second master is estimated to be in Tianjin now." ”

"That's good." The Ninth Master picked up his pipe and took two puffs, and was silent for a while before he spoke: "How is that old guy?" ”

"The second master said that his shot only hit the old thing in the shoulder, and he couldn't kill anyone, unless the old thing was damned!" Ah Mao told the second master the truth about his actions, paused and continued: "Ninth master, the second master said that there is one more thing that should be known to you. was there today, and the second master said that he saw Xie Yingchang's family, and the second lady was also there. ”

"What's going on?" The Ninth Master frowned slightly.

"I heard that it was because the eldest brother of the second miss's family came back, and he took the second miss there." Ah Mao peeked at the ninth master who was pacing, didn't dare to pause and then explained: "Ninth master, the second master said that he only dared to do it when the second miss was away, and he didn't let the second miss see ......."

"Is there anything else besides this?" The Ninth Master interrupted Ah Mao's words.

After thinking about it, Ah Mao said: "Well, when the second master climbed over the wall and left, he was almost caught by the eldest brother who came back from the second miss, and the second master let go of the shot before getting rid of that kid." ”

Jiu Ye nodded, slowly walked to the window, looked outside and sighed: "Ah Mao, how is it in Taiyi Village, Lushan?" ”

"Jiujiang sent a telegram saying that the people and the guns had already gone up the mountain, and they were still waiting for the opportunity."

……

Outside the operating room of a French hospital, a group of people paced back and forth in the yellow-lit corridor, anxiously waiting for the situation in the operating room. Xie Shuyao looked at the clock on the wall turning in circles, as if he saw the reincarnation of life in circles and circles, life started from zero, and after a hard turn, it finally returned to zero......

Xie Shuyao quietly pulled Xie Hansi away from the anxiously waiting crowd, and the two came to the long corridor of the hospital compound, Xie Shuyao asked a little impatiently: "Tell me what's going on?" Why would anyone want to kill grandpa? ”

After Xie Hansi understood the purpose of his sister pulling him over, he sighed lightly and said, "Didn't my mother tell you and the second aunt just now?" That's the way it is, what else do you want me to say? ”

"Mom said it too simply, saying that a man suddenly ran over and shot a few times, hit grandpa and uncle, and then ran away. I want you to tell me a little bit more about it, weren't you there? Tell me what happened at the time! Xie Shuyao was anxious to understand the situation at that time, and couldn't help asking.

Hans Xie had no choice but to tell Xie Shuyao about the events of this evening.

Xie Shuyao learned from Hans Xie's account that after he left, his grandfather began to patiently persuade his mother, but Mother Xie still threw the problem to Hans Xie at the center of the incident, and Hans Xie was ready to compromise with his mother in order to prevent the quarrel between his mother and grandfather.

But just when Xie Hans opened his mouth to compromise, a subordinate suddenly took out a gun and fired a shot at his grandfather and uncle, Xie Hans saw that the murderer wanted to escape over the east courtyard wall after committing the murder, and subconsciously chased after him, but he didn't expect the man to shoot back, this shot made Xie Hans habitually hide, and he also instantly sobered up, and did not dare to continue to chase recklessly.

Later, the grandfather and uncle were sent to the hospital for rescue, and it didn't take long for Xie Shuyao and the second aunt's family to rush over.

When Xie Shuyao heard that Xie Hans didn't want to catch up, he couldn't help but sweat for Xie Hans, in case that person hit Hans in the head with a shot, then he couldn't stand in front of him and tell himself calmly.

Xie Shuyao couldn't help but sigh for a while, before remembering what Hans had mentioned before compromising with his mother, he frowned slightly, and asked, "Big brother, do you really plan to drop out of Huangpu?" ”

Xie Hansi, who had a wry smile on his face, laughed at himself helplessly: "I can't have a home and can't go back, right?" ”

Xie Shuyao heard him answer, was silent for a while, and suddenly clenched his fist and hit Xie Hansi's chest hard, glaring at the beautiful eyes that were a little red with anger: "Why do you want to give up Huangpu, you know how many people can't get into Huangpu if they want to, you just give up, are you worthy of yourself?" Are you worthy of grandpa? ”

In fact, the reason why Xie Shuyao is so angry is because she pinned her enthusiasm for changing the fate of the country on Hans, she hopes to change the fate of the country through Hans's identity as a Whampoa Military Academy, she has always believed that Hans will not betray herself, but now Hans has decided to quit Whampoa, which is a big mental blow to her.

"Yaoyao? Calm down, I know I'm sorry for my grandfather and myself. However, I ......" Hans Xie grabbed the little pink fist that Xie Shuyao hit again, and his sister suddenly became so angry was the result he didn't expect.

"But you're too cowardly!" Xie Shuyao almost gritted her teeth and said it.

At this moment, Hans was frightened by his sister's eyes, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

……

Xie Shuyao slowly closed her eyes, tried to make herself take a long breath, and when she opened her eyes again and looked at Hans Xie, her eyes seemed so gloomy, the breath just now seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and her voice was a little weak: "Hans, if I were you, how good it would be!" ”

Hans looked at his sister's blank and empty gaze and didn't know what to do, he didn't know what was wrong with her; And his sister's subsequent words made him feel that he had suddenly received a slap in the face and hit him hard.

Hans looked at his dejected sister and struggled, "I'm sorry," and after a pause, he continued, "But you're not me......"

“…… I'm really not you," After repeating this sentence, Xie Shuyao turned around and walked slowly towards the gate of the hospital.

When Hans saw his sister, who had lost her soul, turn around and leave, he was afraid that something would happen to her sister, and wanted to follow her and persuade her to say a few words.

Xie Shuyao heard the footsteps catching up from behind, stopped and said lightly to Hans: "I'm fine, I just want to walk alone, you go back and see how the operation is." ”

Hans stayed where he was and watched his sister walk to the other side of the hallway, disappearing into the darkness of the night......
