July 2019

The ward was quiet, and Du Yongning could only see the white ceiling as he lay on the bed.

He pondered and asked who was going to ask for a cigarette.

There was some fresh fruit on the bedside table, which Liu Qian had taken.

When she came, he pretended to be asleep.

Liu Qian didn't call him, just sat quietly on the edge of the bed for a while.

He couldn't help but sneak a peek at her back when she left.

Du Yongning felt that his mouth was very greasy, so he picked up an apple next to the bed and nibbled on it.

The apples are sweet, the crisp Cannes nuts he likes.

The nurse brought him the medicine, and he swallowed it in one gulp.

When the little nurse left, he gave her all the fruits, and the little nurse walked out of the ward with a red face and a basket of fruits.

Finally, the bedside table was empty, and he felt much more relaxed.

He was admitted to a special needs ward with only two beds and the other bed was empty.

This was specially arranged for him by the bureau, and his team suffered a lot of losses in this mission, but also rescued important people.

The thought that he would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and that he could smoke freely without being scolded by the nurse made him happy.

It's better to leave early tomorrow, he doesn't want to meet Liu Qian, when he sees her, he will think of Liu Ying, and his heart hurts like being cut by a knife.

Among the team members, Wu Ming was seriously injured and is still in the intensive care unit, Tang Tiantian and Heizi were the least injured, and they had been discharged from the hospital two months ago.

Liu Wenshi was also injured, and I don't know if he was discharged from the hospital. This kid has no conscience! didn't bring me a pack of cigarettes, Du Yongning thought that he would "teach" this kid a good lesson after he was discharged from the hospital.

Cai Xuebo came to visit him twice, and he always had a sad face when he came.

Du Yongning has been laughing at him, how can people who do scientific research be bitter and hateful, but half of the hair has not broken through in research!

Du Yongning asked him to help bring cigarettes, and Cai Xuebo would secretly stuff him with a pack of China, he hadn't been here for a long time recently, and the only supply of "supplies" he got from outside was also cut off.

Outside the ward, some plainclothes guards were guarded to prevent strangers from approaching the room.

The bureau was too cautious, I only broke a few ribs and had a slight concussion, so I didn't need to send these people to protect myself.

This is also convenient for him to ask the plainclothes in the corridor for a cigarette, plainclothes often change, except for giving him a cigarette, these people are not willing to communicate with him more, he also understands that the bureau has rules and regulations in the bureau, and he can't talk to people on duty.

He should let them stay outside if he doesn't know.

Early the next morning, he went to the hospital to go through the discharge procedures, and the procedure was very simple, and he signed a name.

He left the hospital with a bag.

Du Yongning used taxi software to call a car, and the hospital was only a dozen kilometers away from his home.

The driver arrived quickly, he got into the car and confirmed the address with him.

The car started moving, and he saw in the mirror a black sedan following them.

Taxis stopped and went, and black sedans followed them all the way.

The bureau also sent someone to protect him? I'm all home, what are I going to do? He felt a little uncomfortable, mainly because he couldn't smoke in the car.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of his neighborhood, and he glanced at the car behind him, the black sedan parked on the side of the road fifty meters away from them.

Du Yongning bought a pack of cigarettes at the commissary at the entrance of the community, and after lighting a cigarette, he walked into the community.

He glanced in the rearview mirror of the car on the side of the road and saw two men in civilian clothes following him.

He didn't care, he walked through the community square and said hello to Uncle Zhang, who came back from grocery shopping, and walked to his house.

He lives in an old neighborhood, an old house thirty years ago, with some dilapidated walls, and most of the neighbors are elderly.

The house is on the sixth floor and there is no elevator.

He climbed the stairs and met Aunt Wang on the second floor, who had gone downstairs to take out the garbage, and he said hello to Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang had sympathy in her eyes, and the appearance of wanting to speak made him uncomfortable, and he hurried upstairs.

When he reached the fourth floor, he faintly heard Aunt Wang talking on the first floor, as if asking strangers who to find...

The two plainclothes men followed downstairs.

In the past, Liu Ying always liked to say to him when she climbed to the fifth floor:

"Lao Du, when will you smoke a few packs of cigarettes and save some money for a big house for our mother?"

"This house price... One square meter is enough for me to smoke for ten years. ”

"Can you make a difference?"

"I'm very good, I can carry you up..." The dimly lit stairwell was filled with their memories.

Now it's cold.

He rushed up to the sixth floor as if he were running away, took out the key and opened the door to 602.

The living room was tidy and tidy.

He lit another cigarette and sat down against the window.

"Lao Du, can you smoke less!"

By the window, you can see Liu Ying busy in the kitchen.

His heart was hot, he snuffed out his cigarette in the ashtray, and he went into the kitchen, which was empty and had only memories.

He lit another cigarette and pulled a bottle of liquor out of the refrigerator.

Without Liu Ying's room, he could only rely on alcohol to sleep.

Only when he was on a mission could he briefly forget about her and their unborn child.

I will report to the bureau tomorrow, and I can't be idle at home.

There were so many memories in the room that he could only look out the window.

Two plainclothes men were still standing guard at the entrance of the building.

He felt a pang of irritability in his heart.

"Lao Du, can you have some interest?"

"My colleagues are laughing at me..."

"You let our children...."

Du Yongning was drunk, and he felt that the plainclothes below were here to laugh at him, laughing at him for living in a dilapidated house, laughing at his wife for not living in a garden house until she died, and laughing at him for being a worthless person.

He rushed downstairs in a rage.

"Get out!"

The two plainclothes were stunned, their faces full of embarrassment.

"I told you to get out!"

Alcohol had already made Du Yongning irritable.

Two plainclothes men tried to come up and grab him.

With a pull and a pull, he threw down a plainclothes man.

He put his hand around the neck of another plainclothes man against the wall.

"Maniac!" The plainclothes on the ground scolded.

"Get out... I don't need you to keep watch! ”

The plainclothes that he was holding by the neck were almost out of breath, and his face was purple.

"You co-killing madman! Do you think we're willing to watch over you? Not to be outdone, the plainclothes on the ground said.

"What did you say?" Du Yongning was half sober.

His hand was loose, too.

The elderly, plainclothes man he had choked by the neck, gasped.

"What do you mean?"

The two plainclothes refused to speak again.

Du Yongning staggered upstairs, how he fell asleep on the bed, he didn't know.

In his sleep, he dreamed of Liu Ying and their children....
