Chapter Fifty-Eight: Behind the Scenes

Zixuan and Chu Qing separated.

Chu Qing moved back to King's Landing, no one knew if the two broke up, and under normal circumstances, Zixuan's violence and Chu Qing's affair would not be forgiven by the other party.

Zixuan and Chu Qing both go to work normally, but the two are no longer partners. Zixuan retired to the background and concentrated on being the deputy director. And Chu Qing left after finishing the show, never staying in the station for long, no one knows where she goes after work, and no one knows if she and Meng Jiangnan still have contacts.

Zixuan is enduring it, and with his character, he can't get over this psychological hurdle. What's more, psychiatrist Mo Xue said that he suffered from a variety of mental illnesses. This patience can't last long, and once it erupts, it becomes even crazier.

Worry about him, and run to talk to him whenever he has time. But when we spoke, his eyes were fixed on me, but he was obviously absent-minded, and his mind had already run somewhere else. Zixuan began to live in seclusion, rarely appeared in public, and sometimes did not answer his phone calls, not knowing what he was doing in his free time. Sometimes, when I saw me from afar in the stage, he pretended not to see me, and quickly walked into the fork in the road, avoiding it.

He also started smoking, and he used to pretend to light a cigarette after drinking to show that he was having fun with everyone, and he spit out all the smoke without smoking at all. Now, I heard that he had a pack of cigarettes a day, and his fingers and teeth quickly turned brown, and he could smell the choking smell of smoke from afar.

One night, I received a call from Junjun, saying that Zixuan was drunk in Lost place, talking nonsense, crying and laughing for a while, and asked me to hurry over and have a look.

I saw Zixuan in the alley behind the bar, Junjun helped him to vomit, after vomiting, he leaned against the wall with a pale face and gasped for breath, and when he saw me, he just stood there blankly, with a thin layer of mist on his glasses, and his eyes were hidden in the mist, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking.

Someone in the bar is called Junjun, and she has a performance this night.

I said to Junjun, "Go back, Zixuan will be handed over to me." ”

The alley was cold and damp, with the lights of the Lost place's rear window faintly looming, and there was deep standing water on the ground. I stepped forward and grabbed Zixuan's arm, and as soon as he raised his hand to shake me off, he said something to himself, and his voice was too small for me to hear clearly.

There was wind flowing at both ends of the alley, and thinking that he was drunk, he said, "I'll take you home, don't catch a cold." ”

Zixuan tilted his body and took a step backwards, stepping on the muddy water, splashing everywhere.

I tried to help him, but the smell of alcohol came to my face.

"Get out! I don't care about you! He shouted so loudly that I could hear him this time.

"Zixuan, I'm Xia Yu!"

"Fuck off! Shameless thing, get out of the way! That's you! He shouted and staggered towards the entrance of the alley, walking very fast.

I was a little stunned, worried that something would happen to him, so I chased him out of the alley, but he stopped a taxi and got in.

I spent the night with a lot of heart on my head. Worried about Zixuan's mental state,—— if he continues like this, his life will be chaotic.

The wish is gone, and Zixuan collapses. A kind of loneliness pervades the body and mind, and the soul seems to be falling apart little by little.

When I was anxious about Zixuan, a rumor diverted my attention and caused me to worry even more. It is rumored in the society that the Ocean Group is operating in many ways, the task force is going to evacuate, Zhang Shuai is about to be released, and the crime is to be blamed on a vice president and guards of the Ocean Group, which is their usual trick.

And the guards still have not been caught.

had dinner with Meng Xing, talked about these things, and told her about the process of secretly filming and reporting the Ocean Group nightclub before.

After hearing this, Meng Xing put down his chopsticks, looked at me with wide eyes, and said, "It turned out to be you!" ”

I smiled a little and said with some smugness, "Yes, I haven't told you." Am I better than the police? ”

She didn't laugh or echo, and said with a somewhat serious expression: "It's dangerous for you to do this, do you know?" ”

I said: "No matter how dangerous it is, it's worth it, for the wish of dying, Zhang Shuai and they deserve retribution!" ”

She frowned and said, "When you do this, you should tell me that even if I'm not a police officer, I'm the closest person to you." ”

The way she frowned made me a little upset.

After a moment of silence, she added: "You tell me the truth, are you doing this as a news event, or is it deliberately revenge?" ”

I was a little annoyed: "What do you mean? Wouldn't it be that I care about Zhang Shuai, tell you, it was he who killed the wish, I dreamed that he would die without a place to be buried! I almost roared at the latter sentence.

Meng Xing was not mentally prepared, she didn't react, she was stunned with her mouth open, and I saw that her body was trembling a little.

Then she shook her head and said: "It's none of Zhang Shuai's business, if he violates the law, he should be punished, it's the same for anyone, I care about the Ocean Group." ”

I raised my voice and said, "What does the Ocean Group have to do with you!" ”

She simply said, "It was founded by my uncle!" I can't watch it fall like this! ”

My heart beat faster, and I lowered my voice and said, "The boss of the Ocean Group is always Zhang Yiru, he is-Zhang Shuai's father, how can it be your uncle?" ”

Meng Xing said: "Zhang Yiru is the president, and my uncle is the chairman. ”

I asked again, "What's your uncle's name?" ”

She hesitated and said, "Meng Yuanyang." ”

This is a very unfamiliar name, I have not heard of him have anything to do with the Ocean Group, the group's external propaganda about the boss has always been dominated by Zhang Yiru.

I said, "Why haven't I heard of it?" ”

"I've told you before that he's a low-key person and rarely shows his head outside."

Looking at Meng Xing's serious expression, after thinking for a while, I understood that Zhang Shuai and the boss behind the entire Ocean Group were Meng Yuanyang, and Meng Yuanyang's brother was Mayor Meng Jiangnan, that is, Meng Xing's father. Meng Jiangnan has served in the province for many years and has a wide network. In the past, Lucheng was the secretary of the municipal party committee, but after Meng Jiangnan came to be the mayor, the secretary of the municipal party committee had to let him and listen to him.

It turned out that he had been supporting the Ocean Group behind his back, and it was precisely because of his relationship that Zhang Shuai and they could use their power to act recklessly.

A fire jumped up in my heart, so I said, "Your father is Mayor Meng Jiangnan?" ”

Meng Xing was stunned when she heard me mention this name, and then she hesitated and said, "Yes...... But what does it matter? ”

I was even more sure that Meng Jiangnan was the force behind the Ocean Group, so I said, "You never told me. ”

Meng Xing immediately said: "This has nothing to do with whether my father is the mayor or not." He's the mayor, should I show it off to you? ”

Thinking of making a wish, remembering what happened to me and my friends around me, I coldly blurted out, "Why is it okay?" He has been protecting the Ocean Group behind his back, acting as the protector of Zhang Shuai's gang of underworld forces, he is the biggest criminal! ”

Meng Xing's face turned pale, biting her lip, she was not a person who was good at defending herself, let alone arguing, when she heard what I said, she got up and left, slammed the door and left.

It was the first time we had an argument since we were in love, and looking at her back as she left, I was even more annoyed. The death of a wish is an eternal pain, and every mention of it makes me lose control of my emotions and fall into anger. It's like Su Jing is the pain in her heart.

After calming down, she felt that she shouldn't slander her father, whether he was in cahoots with the bad guys or not, after all, we had never met and never understood.

Thinking of Zhang Shuai's disgusting face again, his evil deeds and bad deeds all stem from someone protecting him and providing him with convenience and rampant capital.

Two of them are still related to Meng Xing, one is her uncle and the other is her father.

After Meng Xing left, I had no intention of eating, sitting alone in the living room, all around, staring at the TV screen, constantly switching pictures, but I didn't see anything, and the conversation with Meng Xing was still floating in my mind.

sat in a daze until midnight, calmed down a little, and began to regret being angry at Meng Xing, she was so innocent.

I called her cell phone, but it didn't work. At first, she was worried and a little distressed, and she didn't eat a few bites of dinner. These days, she has been to Qingluo, Yunnan many times, and often goes back and forth to Beijing to see Grandma Liu.

On this day, she was busy at the Municipal Public Security Bureau all day, receiving two special case teams from other places to handle cases, and she didn't bother to eat at noon.

Finally, I couldn't help but go downstairs to look for her, searched the community for several laps but didn't find it, thinking that she might have gone home, so I drove to the very sea, and saw that her room was dark downstairs, and went to knock on the door, but no one responded, guessing that maybe she slept, maybe she didn't come back at all.

Feeling lost, driving home, exhausted.

Lying on the sofa in the living room with the light on, I fell asleep in a daze, and when I woke up, it seemed that I had slept for a long time, and the wind slowly picked up outside, and the cool air continued to penetrate through the window. Looking at the watch, it's not yet three o'clock in the morning.

I couldn't sleep when I lay down and tossed and turned, and I wanted to walk downstairs.

When I went to the community garden, I walked to the wooden pavilion in the middle of the garden, and under the reflection of the street lamp, I found a familiar figure sitting inside.

Hurriedly ran over, Meng Xing leaned on the pavilion pillar and fell asleep, with tears on his cheeks. Gently waking her up, she saw me with surprise on her face, as if she didn't know where she was, and in a moment she probably remembered that we had just quarreled, her eyes lowered, her lips pursed, and her mouth slightly curled.

I said sorry and sat down next to her slowly, her arms were cold, I took off my coat and put it on her, and went to hug her again, she struggled to dodge, but didn't run away, just turned her back to me.

I picked her up and walked back, saying as I went: "I was wrong, I shouldn't be angry with you, as soon as you leave, I regret it, let's go home, you can scold as much as you want when you get home, if it doesn't work, you can beat me, as long as you don't cripple." ”

Meng Xing listened, didn't struggle much, and when she went upstairs, she came down and walked in front of me. When I got home, she went straight to the shower and I found a pair of suspender pajamas for her to change into. Under the light, I found that she was full of mosquito bitten red bumps, and she was very distressed, so she quickly found talcum powder and applied it to her.

Remembering that she hadn't eaten at night, she went to hot the meal, and when she came back, she found that she was asleep and couldn't get up at all.

I went to bed and hugged her, fell into a deep sleep, and woke up until dawn when I was awakened by a sharp knock at the door.

Meng Xing got up with a bone: "Someone knocked on the door!" ”

I heard it, and I thought who it was, so I opened the door, and looked through the cat's eye.

My mom and summer are back!

Since I moved back home, Meng Xing occasionally stayed with me, and no one else came, she asked in a panic in her pajamas, "Who?" It's not going to be a king's game! ”

The only people in my family who know about my relationship with Meng Xing are Chen Xiao and Ran Jing, and my aunt doesn't know yet.

I looked at her panicked appearance and said, "You're a policeman, how can you look like a thief in such a panic." ”

She smiled: "The key police are sleeping in someone else's house." ”

I smiled and whispered, "Who's someone else?" I'm not someone else's husband. ”

She suddenly came to her senses, remembered that we were still arguing and cold war, and immediately stopped laughing, turned her head to the side, and "hummed" in her mouth, but she was not at ease with the person knocking on the door outside, and then turned her head to look at the door, stubbornly not speaking, but her face was expecting me to tell her who was outside the door.

I stretched out my hand to straighten her hair and said, "Anger will make you ugly, you have to be beautiful, it's my mom and sister summer outside the door." ”

She covered her mouth with an "ah" and said later, "What then?" I'll find a place to hide. ”

As he spoke, he looked around for a place to hide, and first went to the side of the bed to look, but the bed was semi-solid and couldn't get in, and then went to the wardrobe, which was all lattice, and couldn't hold her, so she wandered around and had nothing to do.

I watched her running around in a panic from the side, so I laughed at her and said, "It seems that you don't need to hide, it's not Pan Jinlian Ximenqing, why hide it?" ”

Meng Xing listened and said, "Is it appropriate not to hide?" This is the first time I've seen your family! ”

I hugged her and said: "Look at the people who tired our people's police, you are my future wife, you will not marry in this life, we are above board and will not hide." ”

She also smiled: "Okay then, don't hide it." ”

When I opened the door, my mother was looking down to call my mobile phone, holding a large bag in her arms and hands, and her little head in summer was almost submerged in it.

Seeing the door open, she let out a long breath and sweated profusely and walked inside, not noticing Meng Xing at all.

also said as he walked: "What are you doing, sleeping so deeply, quickly help your sister get something." ”

As soon as she entered, she saw the newly decorated room and suspected that she had gone to the wrong door. First, he screamed "ah", his eyes widened, and he said to himself, "What happened? And turned back to Summer, "Are you sure you didn't go to the wrong door?" ”

Summer was also a little blind, she threw her bag to the ground, pulled her mother's clothes and said blankly: "This is our home!" How has it changed? When I walked back last time, it was still broken like a cave, how can it look like a new house now? ”

I remembered that my house had just been renovated, and I said, "I forgot to tell you that I renovated it." ”

After hearing this, my mother's eyes lit up, she threw down her bag, looked around and said happily, "It's so beautiful." ”

She looked around before she noticed Meng Xing and said, "Who is this girl?" ”

Summer covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Pajamas!" They're in pajamas? ”

I hurriedly said, "Mom, this is my girlfriend, her name is Meng Xing, and she is a policeman." ”

Mom pulled Meng Xing over, her eyes smiled into a line and said, "It's so beautiful to talk about your girlfriend and keep it secret from your mother!" Are you a police officer? Great, our family is all police officers, but I didn't expect such a beautiful girl among the police! ”

As he spoke, he threw all those bags on the ground at the door, took Meng Xing's hand and sat on the sofa to chat. Meng Xing didn't expect his mother to be so easy-going, and her tense nerves relaxed.

My mother was talking to Meng Xing happily, and she didn't know where to dig out the photos of me when I was a child for Meng Xing to see, and said while flipping: "Look, this one was taken when he was bare-bottomed, and this one is still wearing open crotch pants." When I was a child, Xia Yu was very cute, white and clean, and the neighbors liked him, and they wanted to hug him and kiss him when they had nothing to do, and his face was stained with other people's saliva all day long. My son is also smart, and he has never been below the top three in his class in exams. ”

Meng Xing had been listening to her, occasionally interjecting a sentence and looking at me. I heard my mother say, "I've always been a little prejudiced against women who are police officers, thinking that they are not feminine, they can't be coquettish, they can't dress up, they can't enjoy it, and they don't know how to spa." Now when I see you, my mind has changed, what a beautiful girl, naturally beautiful, she doesn't need to dress up, she wears a police uniform, it's perfect. ”

The first time we met, I got my mother's praise, Meng Xing was also very happy, she began to be emotionally active, praising my mother for her beauty and temperament. As soon as my mother was happy, she opened several bags, took out a large pile of cosmetics and gave them to Meng Xing, and told her how to use them one by one.

Later, she saw that Meng Xing's eyes were a little red and swollen, and there were tear stains on her cheeks, so she noticed that we were quarreling, and she said euphemistically while putting on makeup and eye cream for Meng Xing: "People who love each other again in this life will have the urge to break up hundreds of times, let alone quarrel, people in love don't quarrel is like cooking without soy sauce, boring." When a couple reaches old age, it is often the man who precedes the woman. Men may seem strong, but they are actually more vulnerable. When a woman is aggrieved and resentful, she can cry, she can make trouble, she can talk to her girlfriends, teachers, friends, and parents, and vent her bad emotions. And most men are reluctant to show their emotions, so they carry it and press it in their hearts. How long this life is, nothing will come out of it. Therefore, you must be more considerate of your own men, communicate more, and understand each other more. You see that Xia Yu is so thin, you have to urge him to exercise more, even if he rolls on the floor a few times. How can a man take care of his woman if he doesn't have a good body? Not to mention giving her happiness. If he is not in good health, he will still be dragged down by the people closest to him. ”

Meng Xing was deeply moved, and looked at me from time to time, my mother's words made my eyes moist, and my heart felt a lot better.

My mom saw me walking with a slight limp, which was the last car accident injury that hadn't healed yet. In that car accident, Ran Jing didn't tell her mother, because the internal causes of the matter were too complicated, and even if her parents in France knew, it would be useless, but it would increase the psychological burden.

Her eyes widened and she said, "Son, what's wrong with your leg?" Come over and show Mom. ”

I glanced at Meng Xing and said, "It's okay, it's just a sprain." Alright, you can continue talking. ”

My mother looked at my legs in disbelief, but she was attracted by Meng Xing, and soon her attention shifted to Meng Xing.

They chatted until almost noon, and Meng Xing remembered that he still had to go to work. My mother immediately picked up the phone and called my aunt and said, "My daughter-in-law is taking a day off to stay at home with me today and is not going to work." ”

We were all stunned, looked at each other, and my aunt didn't react, and said on the phone, "When did you come back?" Who is your daughter-in-law, how do I not know? ”

My mother was a little proud and said loudly on the phone: "She called Meng Xing, and she works at the Municipal Public Security Bureau!" ”
