Chapter 43: The Fire Knight
When I returned to Lucheng, the whole city was under martial law, and the police wanted unknown gunmen, especially at night, patrols and special police officers set up roadblocks at various intersections to check, and the whole city was filled with tension, like the weird atmosphere when the big war came, so that everyone walking on the road was in a hurry and lacked a sense of security.
After the door of my house was violently destroyed by Ran Jing last time, I spent a lot of money to replace the imported security door, installed a camera at the door, and connected it to the property monitoring room, so that the security guard could notify me if they found something suspicious.
Soon after installing the camera, the security guard found a stranger wandering in the corridor in the surveillance, and someone tried to break my door lock, but the anti-theft door lock recommended to me by Ran Jing was as strong as steel, and the person left half of his fingernail on the door lock and did not open it.
I was afraid that Meng Xing would be worried, so I didn't dare to tell her that when she came to me again, every time I would run downstairs to pick her up.
Ran Jing asked the police officers at the police station to squat a few times, but the stranger disappeared like floating air and never appeared again. She asked me to move to my aunt's place, but I thought about it again and again, thinking that since someone was watching my family, if the family came back from France, they would be unprepared and would probably be hurt.
Ran Jing called the police station in my jurisdiction and asked me to call the police as soon as possible.
Late at night, after cleaning and going out to throw out large bags of garbage, I found a dark figure standing around the corner of the hallway, like a sculpture sticking to the wall, motionless. If I hadn't been vigilant all those days, I wouldn't have noticed.
took out his phone and wanted to call the police, and pretended to be casual and hummed a song and stepped back.
Why is the finger suddenly inflexible - the number button of the mobile phone can't be poked. Take a deep breath and try to quiet your legs from vibration to silence.
"Put down your phone, your song hums like a pig about to be killed!" Ran Jing took off her cap and emerged from the corner of the wall like a ghost.
She stared at my legs: "Okay, don't shake, it makes me dizzy!" Stand upright, stand up straight! β
I breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course you have to swing up when you sing rock, who is like you, there is no musicality at all." As I spoke, I did a few hip-hop dances, but my feet were so weak that I barely managed to fall down when I threw myself against the wall.
Ran Jing said with sympathetic eyes, "You...... Make sure, there's no incontinence! β
I gritted my teeth and shook my head as I hummed music, but my head slammed against the wall, leaving a layer of white dust behind.
Ran Jing took a cool breath, covered her heart and said, "It doesn't hurt, right?" There seems to be a big bag on my forehead. She pointed to my forehead and said, "Okay, sister doesn't understand your Chek trouble!" But my sister told you that if you come out in the middle of the night to take out the garbage in the future, and you scare yourself into a mental disorder, I will kill you! β
In order to create a safe city atmosphere, the TV station decided to hold a media reception in the central square of the city.
Each channel was represented by a theme of "exposing the darkness under the sun".
Colleagues feel that this theme is paradoxical, the darkness is hidden in the dark place, it can only be tanned in the sun, and some darkness is still dark in another place even if you expose it.
Xiaohu, who has just been discharged from the hospital, is responsible for maintaining order in the hotline group, and the last time he was beaten, Xiaohu was a blessing in disguise and has been transferred from internship to column employment.
In the afternoon, Wen Liang and Xiaohu were heard shouting in the crowd that they had lost their wallets and mobile phones.
Everyone was in a mess, all checking their bags, and Xiaohu pointed to the patrolling police and said, "Hurry up and talk to the police." β
Zhu Ning said: "Hey! They're patrol officers, so don't care about that, contact the police station. β
A man with triangular eyes pulled down the corner of my shirt, and I looked at him suspiciously, and he walked out of the crowd and stood in the distance and waved me over.
I walked over suspiciously, he took out two mobile phones and two wallets from his arms, and said, "Brother, I didn't see you just now, these things are back to your friend." β
He was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had another brother.
Seeing that he was leaving, he grabbed him: "You stole this thing?" β
He stood but didn't look back: "It was stolen by someone else, I'll pay it back for him." β
Hearing him say that he came to return the stolen goods for his friend, I couldn't cry or laugh: "Will the thief find out with his conscience?" β
He said hesitantly: "We met, last time in the old city of Dongjo Hutong. I know that you are a friend of Team Chen of the City Bureau, and if you steal something from ordinary people, the police will definitely not seriously investigate. Friends who can steal from the police can be caught quickly. β
After saying that, he walked away quickly, and I remembered that the last time I went to Tojo Hutong to find Chen Xiao to get the car keys, this thief was being stuffed with diapers.
Holding a phone and wallet, it feels like a dream.
Give things to Wen Liang and Xiaohu, who stared at me suspiciously.
I glared at them and said, "Look at what I'm doing!" Did I steal it? Someone returned it, saying that it was a discovery of conscience, stealing the reporter's money, and it was just that he couldn't get along with Qingtian. β
Wen Liang glanced behind me: "What about people? Does that mean I have to thank people? A thief with a clear conscience? β
But Xiaohu was convinced, and ran away with cheers.
After being reminded by the thief, I suddenly remembered Chen Xiao, who had been locked up for many days and had not allowed his family to visit, and I didn't know what was going on now.
Thinking about it, I walked out of the crowd to smoke, and accidentally noticed someone staring at me in the distance, whose face was half in the sun and half in the shade of the trees, and his face was full of shadows. In a matter of seconds, he flashed into the crowd and disappeared.
It was afternoon, the sun was scorching, but my heart was instantly cold.
Although the time was short, I recognized the man as a guard, his face incomparably cold in the sun, and his eyes chilled with the noonday heat.
Record the interview clues and make a schedule in order. I went to the newspaper office to find Lao Tian and Ning Meng and interviewed them together. Although there is fierce competition between newspapers and television stations, journalists with good relationships share resources and provide each other with news leads.
When I went to the newspaper office, I only saw Ning Meng, who said that Lao Tian had been dismissed. I was shocked to see that I hadn't heard anything beforehand.
Lao Tian was divorced first and then dismissed, the reason for the dismissal is a little bizarre and sad, some people say that his divorce is due to domestic violence, but Lao Tian's character, saying that he fights flies, some people believe it, saying that he is really hard to believe domestic violence.
Ning Meng told me what had happened.
After the culvert door incident, Lao Tian was transferred to the photography department, and he was not yet the chief photographer, specializing in some life themes such as spring trees have sprouted, grass by the river has turned green, and wheat in the fields has matured, and his status has plummeted.
At the staff meeting of the newspaper, the leader said in his speech that if the politics are immature, the thinking is very naΓ―ve, and such people are stupid!
When the leader said this, the female employees of the newspaper, who are usually more gossipy, couldn't help but turn their heads to peek at Lao Tian, who was under a lot of pressure, and in his words, he felt that he had become the laughing stock of the whole newspaper, from a top talent to a stupid.
That's not all, Lao Tian's wife not only didn't comfort him, but also didn't cook or do laundry from now on, and let the whole family wear a mountain of underwear and socks. Anything can be linked to Lao Tian's incompetence, taking pleasure in ridiculing Lao Tian, and being a hands-off shopkeeper at home, Lao Tian can only cook by himself, wash dishes, laundry, mop the floor, and pick up children.
His wife ridiculed him and said, "Don't you know everything?" Lao Tian didn't say anything, and thought depressedly in his heart, I can do anything, what else do you want to do? If you just have children and do nothing else, won't you become a fertility machine? At the same time, I also understood that it turned out that a woman's laundry and cooking, ironing and making tea, and squeezing toothpaste were not made for her husband because he couldn't do it, but a process of enjoying love.
In fact, it is not that women have to do laundry and cooking, but these things are more warm for women to do. From the perspective of children, it is also easier to remember the taste of childhood mothers, and men mostly play the role of breadwinners.
Lao Tian's wife was not gentle, but now she is becoming more and more rude, becoming a full queen of resentful women's families, treating her home as her own mountain, calling Lao Tian condescendingly, commanding and commanding, just taking a leather whip to call the wind and rain.
If Lao Tian is a rough person, it is easy to say, if he is not good, he will still enjoy this kind of "abuse", but he is a highly educated literati who pursues a good wife and is gentle like water. Now these days, not to mention romance, I don't even have to eat firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
In married life, it is not easy for a man to take care of his wife's body after seven years of itching, and it is even more important for a woman to treat her husband with "sexual violence and sexual banning". Married men have not been able to meet their sexual needs for a long time, and hormones can make people unconscious.
Lao Tian's pressure is increasing day by day, and his wife's income is higher than his, so he blames himself even more, and wants to get ahead as soon as possible, no matter what method is used, even if it is speculation.
In order to be transferred back to the Ministry of Information and prove that he was a talent, he thought about it and decided to go to the senior brother of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, that is, the deputy minister in the "Lao Tian Gift Incident".
Thinking that he had given gifts before, it was still cash, and the senior brother didn't do anything for himself. According to the Chinese proverb, eating people with a soft mouth and taking people with short hands, Lao Tian feels that even he has this consciousness, and his consciousness as a leader will be higher.
He went to his brother's house at night, and the brother was alone, so he asked Lao Tian to accompany him to drink, and personally cooked two side dishes, and the two drank three bottles of Wuliangye and were dazed.
After drinking, the senior brother asked Lao Tian to accompany him to a high-end private club called "Kaiyate" to massage the old and decrepit neck.
Lao Tian was flattered, and felt that he didn't grasp the leader's intentions last time, so this time he immediately saddled up the horse and carried the bag for his senior brother, and went to Kaiat with him.
After the sauna, the senior brother arranged two luxurious private rooms and massaged separately from Lao Tian. A beautiful girl came into Lao Tian's room, claiming to be Honey Peach.
The sweet peach of the water is charming, jumping to the waist of Lao Tian, three or two times to strip Lao Tian naked, seeing Lao Tian wearing gold wire glasses, sweet peach mouth is coquettish, the wildfire is inexhaustible, the spring breeze blows and grows.
Having never experienced being stripped naked by a woman other than his wife, Lao Tian was taken aback at first, and then thought that since it was arranged by the senior brother, he was accompanying the senior brother for entertainment, this is the trust and co-optation of the senior brother, and the eldest husband sometimes has to be in the same stream to make a difference, plus he has been beaten into the cold palace by his wife for a long time, he has already dried up firewood, so he covered his eyes and passively accepted it, and was ravaged by the cry of the peach knight.
After the entertainment, the senior brother still didn't say a word about Lao Tian's entrustment. And since then, he has avoided answering Lao Tian's phone calls and refused Lao Tian's visit. This shows that the senior brother wants to erase Lao Tian from his life.
Lao Tian couldn't figure out how much sacrifice I made! I went to bed with you, and I turned my face ruthlessly.
In fact, the senior brother was indeed massaging his neck that day, and only Lao Tian's room staged a grassland horseback ride. When the senior brother checked out, he found that there were thousands of yuan more on the bill of Lao Tian, and the project was a blazing spring breeze. Immediately furious, I felt that if I had a relationship with Lao Tian, a womanizer, let alone riding a horse, I would not be far from falling off the horse.
Since then, the senior brother has said many times at the class reunion wine table: "The gentleman is so beautiful, but he asks for courtesy, and the villain is lustful, so he needs to take it in the right way." "Ironically mocking Lao Tian is an old prostitute demon, Ximen celebrates his brother.
When Lao Tian heard this gossip, he didn't spit out a mouthful of blood, and rolled his eyes and beat his heart.
