Chapter 157: Porosity
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
If it weren't for the occasional flapping of its wings, it would have been almost impossible to detect what kind of dazzling colors were hidden under such a delicate disguise.
Four or five well-dressed young and middle-aged women walked side by side on the street holding hands, causing a slight traffic jam.
"Slim." The eldest of the looking companions affectionately called out the name of the woman in the middle, "I need to go buy some teaching materials for my disobedient son, can you wait for me here for a while?" โ
As if reminded of something, the women's conversation gradually shifted from discussing the most suitable length of skirts to discussing the daily life of their bear children.
"Hey! You reminded me! A middle-aged woman with chestnut hair clapped her hands, "I still have to buy yogurt for my daughter." โ
Talking and laughing, the women finally dispersed around the street, leaving only Su Miao and another young member of the "princess wife's group" still standing in place, looking like they hadn't reacted yet.
"Oh, when it comes to children, these people lose their righteousness." The young woman patted Su Miao on the shoulder, "It's just that we don't have this trouble anymore." โ
"Are you still young......" Su Miao's eyes flickered slightly.
Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, the smile on the young woman's face froze, and she immediately remedied: "Your team leader Kong feels sorry for you, knowing that he is too busy with work, he really has no time to take care of the family, and he can't bear to throw all the trivial things of taking care of the children to you...... Hey, don't think about it, we can all envy you in private. You and Team Leader Kong went from childhood sweethearts all the way to getting married! This is the dream of many young couples! โ
"It's just your sweet mouth one day." Su Miao reluctantly laughed, "Let's go, they're all going to get down to business, let's have a happy cup of coffee." โ
Looking at two beautiful women in high heels with large and small paper bags in their hands, walking side by side into a beautifully decorated coffee shop, Xu Zhiyuan slowly twisted his stiff neck, added the last bit of cold tea to the cup, and waved to check out after drinking it with a disgusted face.
"You're finally willing to go." The waiter quietly rolled his eyes at the customer, who had taken a seat for the afternoon with a pot of the cheapest tea, and said insincerely, "Welcome to come back next time-"
"Hush." Xu Zhiyuan was not angry, lowered his head and quickly poked the button on the id, coughing while quickly cutting into the flow of people.
-
Noticing that Yuan Sui still maintained a state of being unable to speak with his mouth slightly open, Ling Shucheng rarely took the initiative to take over the task of talking to people.
"Did she say anything before she left the team?" Ling Shucheng thought about it for a moment, and then added, "Or has she explained anything else to you?" Otherwise, you wouldn't just let her go. โ
"First of all, I will correct you, with her talent, there is no way for the two of us to stop her." Huang Shi's face seemed to be ashamed, "The team leader told us that there were people in that team who were very important to her, so she had to go, otherwise she would regret it for the rest of her life." โ
"Ugh." Yuan Sui glanced at Ling Shucheng with a subtle expression, "She wouldn't be referring to Ni Guangjie, right?" โ
"She was pale but calm, and I didn't think it looked like ...... That's what you think. Huang Shi replied with the same subtle expression, "You probably haven't seen her, so you may not know that the team leader is really dedicated to her work and has no interest in other aspects." โ
"Oh." Yuan Sui nodded with a dry smile and silently retracted his stretched neck.
"And after that?" Ling Shucheng asked unhurriedly step by step, "I heard that after she was injured, another of you was assigned to another group, and you were directly 'retired'. โ
"There are too many people who are jealous of her. It's rare to have such an opportunity to completely ruin all her futures, and no one will let it go. A hint of sarcasm flashed in Huang Shi's eyes, "After all, she originally had no foundation, so she was not afraid of offending." Seriously, even if they don't want me to retire, I don't want to keep it after seeing so many villains. โ
"But wasn't she already in a deep coma at that time, and the chances of coming to her senses were slim?" Ling Shucheng raised a reasonable question, "At this time, taking the initiative to jump out, too explicit and falling into the well, will also lower their own reputation." โ
"It's also because among the rescued students, there is no guy who is willing to speak for her, a life-saving benefactor. This can be regarded as an invisible encouragement for some people who have always been rampant. โ
"That's right." Ling Shucheng nodded, "So after she recovered from her injuries and was discharged from the hospital, did you still have any contact?" โ
"Yes, but not much. I've heard her mention that she has taken on an apprentice with a very interesting identity. โ
"When Senior Jiang mentioned Brother Yue, did he say anything to you?" Yuan Sui cautiously interjected on the side again, and then lowered his head in Ling Shucheng's flat but slightly meaningful gaze, and explained in a low voice, "Because didn't you say it last time?" I feel that Senior Jiang's attitude towards Han Yue is actually a bit subtle......"
"She cares about her apprentice, I'm sure of that. 35xs" Huang Shi replied, "But it's a bit difficult to say whether this 'heart' is because Han Yue himself is likable, or whether the team leader has other considerations." After all, I think normal people should be depressed for a while after experiencing the loss of everything they used to work hard for because of injuries, and they will have a bad feeling for some people who have given up decisively, right? But the team leader seemed to accept the apprentice without hesitation, and immediately devoted himself to the new work......"
"What's so strange about that." Yuan Sui still can't quite understand, "It shows that Jiang's senior's psychological quality is really good." โ
"The so-called 'new job' does not refer to the teaching of Han Yue's sword skills, after all, this little thing is nothing to the team leader. Even if you are a fool, if you can stay with the team leader for a while, you should be able to make some progress. Perhaps this experience did belong to the category of Huang Shi's recollection, and his wording gradually became a little unpolite, "I always feel that she was busy with something else during that time...... Something that was enough to distract her from the past and start throwing her heart and soul anew. โ
"Hmm." Yuan Sui habitually turned his head to look at the look on Ling Shucheng's face, "Judging from the information we have learned recently, she did often follow her old acquaintances to the outside of the ship during that time. Do you know what she did when she went out? โ
"I only know that she saved Han Yue's life outside." Huang Shi's face turned cold, "So you guys are suspicious of her?" โ
"How's her relationship with her sister?" Ling Shucheng didn't give any explanation at all, and just continued to ask questions step by step, "Or, does she have any thoughts on the family that is in a hurry to have another child to replace her because she is in a coma?" โ
"Your way of expressing it is really interesting." Huang Shi hypocritically praised, "Anyone will be a little sad, right?" However, the team leader was quickly relieved, after all, as a vegetative person at that time, she not only could not bring new benefits to the family, but also continued to 'suck blood' in an unconscious state - this is what she said. The team leader probably knows very well in his heart that the birth of her sister is actually a game for her short-sighted parents. Get a new 'genius' game. Although Jiang Zhongyan is actually mediocre. โ
"That's why Senior Jiang isn't very familiar with his sister?" Yuan Sui asked.
"No, I feel ...... once in a while The team leader has a feeling that he doesn't know how to face his sister. Huang Shi and Ling Shucheng frowned at the same time, and questioned themselves while explaining, "Jiang Zhongyan can be valued by the above at a young age, and the talent shown by the team leader in the past...... and the fact that she is Master Han Yue is absolutely inseparable. From my standpoint, I don't think the team leader has done anything wrong, and Kang Joong-yeon should also be grateful to her. But ......"
After hesitating for a while, Huang Shi said softly, "The team leader accidentally said a word or two in front of me, and she actually felt guilty about the birth of her sister. I still don't understand what this means, so I always suspect that I remembered wrongly, and she must have no reason to feel guilty. โ
"Understood." Whether it is in expression or speech, Ling Shucheng has never given any positive or negative feedback, "So what you hinted at in the conversation with Yuan Sui before that the current situation that you can only live a relatively incognito life with your children is likely to be related to Jiang Bonan?" โ
"Because I've been asked so forcefully more than once about things related to the team leader." Huang Shi subconsciously straightened his back, "And last time, my non-cooperation led to the death of my wife. โ
"When did this happen?"
"Shortly after the group leader died. If you were to ask me what he was, I wouldn't be able to answer. Because the other party just dialed me from an empty number and told me that if I couldn't answer all the questions, I would never see her again. Huang Shi's voice trembled slightly, and Ling Shucheng noticed his subconsciously clenched fists.
"And then?"
"I was helping Lao Cai work outside the boat at that time, and with a hint of luck and vigilance, I said it half-truthfully. The other party may have sensed something, and quickly hung up the phone. I immediately called the police, and half an hour later, the police told me that my wife had been involved in a bizarre fire caused by a short circuit in an electrical facility and had been killed. No matter how much I stress to them, I was threatened beforehand, and this is definitely not easy...... But in the end, they couldn't find out anything. โ
The last half of the sentence was extremely gritted his teeth, and Huang Shi's excitement even obviously affected the heart rate monitor on the side. Ling Shucheng glanced at the turbulent waves formed by the folded lines on the screen, and sighed softly.
"And that's not all. Soon after, not only did my daughter take her to the school lunch box, but someone gave me some serious medicine three times and twice, and even the police officer who had helped me investigate the matter privately was accidentally seriously injured during the mission. The scarred arm slammed hard against the wall, and Huang Shi was coaxed back by Yuan Sui before getting up excitedly, "Anyway, since that time, I realized that I may have been targeted by someone with very high authority in the ship...... But I had no choice but to get plastic surgery, and begged the few remaining 'past' friends to make a fake file in violation of the law, so that my daughter could re-enter a new grade with a new identity after a year off. But I didn't completely leave my past career, but after talking to Lao Cai in advance, I changed my new identity and continued to stay in the fleet. After all, I always have to support my family, which is a dangerous tactic, and I think that person may not notice me for a while. โ
"Your tricks were useful not so long ago." Yuan Sui tucked the quilt corner for him again, "After that, the safety of you and Lingling is guaranteed by the boss and me, don't worry." โ
"What exactly did they ask you?" Ling Shucheng softened his tone a little under Yuan Sui's eyes, and added, "I'm sorry to keep you reminiscing about this, but we don't have any other way to get information at the moment, please understand." โ
"What is there to forgive, I am also from this industry, of course I can understand you." Huang Shi lowered his head and recalled for a while, and when he spoke again, he had already sorted out his emotions, "Unlike you, the person who called was more eager to know what would happen after the team leader woke up, such as where she had been, who she had been more closely with, and how she suddenly decided to join the police team. โ
"Okay." Pressing Yuan Sui with his eyes, who obviously still had a problem in his head, Ling Shucheng glanced at the time, "It's not early." You can get some rest first, and we'll get here today. โ
The door of the ward closed gently behind him, and Ling Shucheng and Yuan Sui greeted Tang Xianguang who was standing not far away one after another, the former calmly nodded and the latter waved timidly.
"For the time being, I can only keep him in the area in charge of the laboratory for a long time, after all, you are the only one who is the most difficult to enter and exit casually." Ling Shucheng took a step and consciously blocked in front of Yuan Sui, "I'm sorry for you." โ
"You're welcome. However, in terms of my responsibility, I still have to remind that in the future, whether it is you or her daughter, if you want to enter here, you still need to report in advance. Tang Xianguang's sharp gaze swept over the two of them as if they were substantial, and finally showed a smiling expression.
"Good luck to you." He said.
