Ruan Xianchao is like losing his soul these days.

I guess I really lost my soul.

Muo's death hit him too hard. It was as if his soul had vanished with her departure, leaving behind a gasping corpse.

It was a source of grief for his parents. Especially his father, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, has seen all kinds of winds and waves, and dealt with all kinds of dangerous and dangerous things. But there was nothing he could do to guide his son out of this pain.

It was late at night, and the unkempt Ruan Xianchao was half lying on the bed, his eyes were glazed and staring at the white wall in front of him, no matter what his parents sitting on the edge of the bed said, he didn't say a word.

Father shook his head and sighed.

The mother cried quietly.

"A cut of cold plums, standing proudly in the snow-" This was Ruan Xianchao's mobile phone ringtone, which rang suddenly at this time.

Ruan's mother hurriedly grabbed his mobile phone, she didn't want him to answer the phone, because she didn't want to irritate him anymore.

These days, as long as the mobile phone rings, Ruan Xianchao will immediately connect and shout into the mobile phone: "Mu Nan, where are you, don't be afraid, I'll pick you up-"

But the mobile phone was still snatched in Ruan Xianchao's hand first, as if he had changed people, he immediately sat up straight, quickly connected the mobile phone, and shouted loudly into the mobile phone: "Mu Nan, where are you?" Don't be afraid, I'll pick you up! ”

The voice in the "......" mobile phone was too small for the Ruan family's parents to hear.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll pick you up right away, don't be afraid!" Ruan Xianchao's voice softened suddenly, and he held the phone tightly with both hands, perhaps too hard, both hands were trembling, and tears came out of the frame at the same time.

This frightened the Ruan family's parents, whether their son was crazy. Although he used to scream at the mobile phone, as soon as the other party spoke, he could clearly tell that it was not a good man, and then hung up the phone. And now I can't tell who is talking on my phone.

“……”

"Don't hang up the phone, I'll check the location of your call right away." Ruan Xianchao seems to have returned to the capable police officer he used to be. He glanced at the caller ID, quickly grabbed the pen on the bedside table, wrote a string of numbers on the paper, covered the microphone, and said to his stunned father, "Dad, ask someone to help me check the call location of this number." ”

He looked at his parents' strange expressions, and suddenly understood something, so he said in a low and happy voice: "Mu Nan is still alive!" Then he let go of the microphone and clicked on the speakerphone.

Mu Nan's voice came from the phone: "Officer Ruan, I don't know where this is?" I don't understand what the people here are talking about. I don't know what's going on. You can find a way to take me back. ”

When Ruan's mother heard this, she cried out in a wow, and then immediately pressed her mouth with her hand and threw herself into Ruan's father's arms.

Father Ruan gently patted the person in his arms with his hand, unable to hold back the joy in his heart, but only repeated one word in a low voice: "Good! Good! Then he gently walked out of his son's room with her in his arms.

Here, Mu Nan told Ruan Xianchao about her current situation.

On that day, she was driving a car when suddenly a car hit her sideways, and after that, she didn't know anything.

She didn't wake up until today.

She found herself in a completely unfamiliar place, which seemed to be a temple. The people here are very friendly, but she doesn't understand what they say, and they don't understand what she says.

After more than half a day, she got a mobile phone from someone else, and then she contacted Ruan Xianchao.

She also told him that she was fine now, but she felt a little weak after sleeping so long.

He kept comforting her, telling her not to be afraid, now that technology is developed, he will soon locate her location, and he will soon be able to find her and bring her back.

Here, Secretary Ruan asked someone to quickly find out the location of Mu Nan, it turned out that she was in country T, he contacted the embassy again, and quickly sent someone to pick her up.

Ruan Xianchao immediately recovered his old spirits, and he also went to the airport to pick up Mu Nan in person. He felt like he had a lot to say to her, but the moment he saw her, he just gave her an affectionate smile.

"How is Jian Zheng doing now?" This was the first thing Muo said when he met.

This question made him a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't show it, in fact, he was also very concerned about Jian Zheng in his heart. He didn't want to tell her that Jian Zheng was going to be executed tomorrow, so he wanted to divert the topic, "I'll send you home first, and I'll talk about the rest later." ”

Seeing that he avoided this question, she subconsciously told her that the situation was very serious, and it might have reached an uncontrollable point, so she immediately stared into his eyes and asked, "Is something wrong with him?" ”

"This," he felt a little embarrassed to tell her about this, and he was afraid that she would lose control of her emotions, but under her eyes, he didn't dare to panic, "Don't get excited when I say this." ”

"Execution?" Mu Nan panicked all of a sudden.

"Not really."

"Oh, that's good."

"I can't say it's good, I will do it tomorrow!"

Mu Nan's chest quickly rose and fell twice, and two lines of tears slipped out of her eyes, she bit her lip hard, and then said a word in a low voice: "Go!" ”

Ruan Xianchao hurriedly followed, and at the same time asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go to Youguang Company and find Lu Xiaojuan!"

"What are you looking for her?"

"I went to her last time, and she gave me some clues, and it is basically certain that the murderer of Ma Yang cannot be Director Jian."

Mu Nan got into Ruan Xianchao's car and drove directly towards Youguang Company.

In the car, she told Ruan Xianchao about what she learned about the last time in Youguang Company.

Mu Nan basically talked to everyone in the company once. Most people confirm the fact that Ma Yang and Zhou Shanshan have an unusual relationship.

Especially the conversation with Lu Xiaojuan made her learn more and more valuable things.

Lu Xiaojuan said that she and Ma Yang had fallen in love, and both of them loved each other deeply, but later had to break up, the reason was Zhou Shanshan's interference, because Ma Yang was actually Zhou Shanshan's lover. Regarding the fact that Ma Yang is Zhou Shanshan's lover, Mu Nan also learned from other people in the company, and everyone said that Zhou Shanshan herself does not shy away from this, and often has relatives with Ma Yang in front of her husband. Even at this time of work, she often asks Ma Yang to come to her office to do happy things, the key is that her scream is very loud, and she can be heard climbing to the top when she passes outside her office.

Just a few days before Ma Yang's accident, Ma Yang found Lu Xiaojuan and handed her a large envelope, telling her to keep it and saying that no one could give it to anyone who asked. And now that Ma Yang is dead, she thinks that there may be a secret in this big envelope, and wants to give this thing to Mu Nan.

said that she would send it to Mu Nan herself the next day, but that night, Mu Nan had a situation. Therefore, now I have to go to Youguang Company to find Lu Xiaojuan as soon as possible.

Hearing this, Ruan Xianchao also faintly felt that there was the answer he wanted in that envelope, so he couldn't help but increase the intensity of stepping on the accelerator, and the car drove quickly towards Youguang Company.

But in Youguang Company, they pounced, and the people in the company told them that Lu Xiaojuan had already left. By asking her a few good colleagues, they didn't know where she was now, and even said that the original phone was down, and there was no reply to the WeChat message.

Mu Nan and Ruan Xianchao had a premonition almost at the same time that something might have happened to Lu Xiaojuan.

"Let's go, find Zhou Shanshan." They uttered this sentence almost at the same time.

But when they came to Zhou Shanshan's office, they were told by her secretary that she had gone to her grandfather's house.

They had been to her grandfather's house.

"Let's rush to Zhujia Village to find her now, right?" Mu Nan suggested.

"Okay, it just so happens that the hundreds of thousands of yuan that I asked for for her grandfather last time haven't been given to him yet?"

As soon as they said go, they immediately left.

Mu Nan also remembered the wooden table, so he asked casually: "Then how much money did you ask Zhou Shanshan for?" ”

"Alas—" he let out a long sigh as he started the car, "if you ask for 150,000, but it's for this 150,000 that you miss a big deal." ”

"How do you say that?" Mu Nan asked.

"On the day of your accident, I was originally able to meet with you after work, but Zhou Shanshan came over, in order to help her grandfather get some money......" Ruan Xianchao said a rough overview of the events of that day while driving.

Between the words, you can feel his guilt deeply.

"It's none of your business at all," Mu Nan pretended to comfort him lightly, "And you see, I'm not doing well right now." ”

"Uh-huh, well, it's good!" Yes, if it weren't for Mu Nan's good work, I don't know if Ruan Xianchao would have survived this hurdle.

She felt that the air was a little dull, so she changed the topic, "There is one thing I still don't understand, why did Zhou Shanshan dare to interact with other men like this under his husband's nose?" ”

"yes, we have the same doubts." He adjusted his sitting posture, and after the "1210 case" occurred, we asked the relevant personnel of Youguang Company to understand the situation, and some people mentioned this matter at that time, but it did not attract enough attention from the staff. Actually, there is another situation, that is, on the night of your accident, although Zhou Shanshan and my friend met for the first time, they got together. ”

"My intuition tells me that Ma Yang's death must have something to do with Zhou Shanshan."

"Well, I think so too." He chimed in.

"Okay, then let's hurry up, find Zhou Shanshan as soon as possible, and ask her face to face."

"Hmm." He replied as he stepped on the gas pedal harder.

When they arrived at Zhou Shanshan's grandfather's house, they saw a white-haired old man sitting outside the porch from a distance. Undoubtedly, that is Zhou Shanshan's grandfather.

From afar, Mu Nan affectionately shouted, "Grandpa, we have come to see you." ”

The old man was still very energetic and had a very good memory, so he quickly recognized them: "Hehe, it's Shanshan's classmate, right?" ”

The man said, "Yes, we came to see you, and by the way, I will send you the money from the last time I helped you sell the table." ”

"What kind of table?" He'd long forgotten that there was a table.

Ruan Xianchao hurriedly said: "Grandpa, you don't remember, it's just last time, we took a table of eight immortals from you, and gave you a deposit of 20,000 yuan at that time, and now we will send you the advance payment." As he spoke, he took out the 150,000 yuan in cash he had prepared in advance from his bag and handed it to him.

"That's a lot of money!" The old man had never seen so much money before, and he was dumbfounded all of a sudden.

"Put it away!" Mu Nan rushed to the front and patted the old man's hand affectionately.

"I can't do it, I can't help it!" The old man was a little frightened, and pushed the money out of his hand, "I know that broken table, it must not be worth so much money." You don't pity me, do you? ”

"This is the money from the sale of the table, you hurry up and collect it." Mu Nan didn't want to dwell too much on this matter, the time left for her was very limited, Jian Zheng was going to be executed tomorrow, and he had to find out the truth of the case before this in order to save Jian Zheng, so he had to hurry up and get down to business, so he changed the topic: "Grandpa, my classmate Shanshan is here, let's find him something." ”

"Shanshan? Shanshan she just left, didn't you meet her on the road? ”

"Huh? Let's go! Mu Nan took Ruan Xianchao's arm and walked out, "Hurry up and chase!" ”

"I'm in such a hurry, let's eat before leaving." The old man who doesn't know why is still enthusiastically retaining guests.

Ruan Xianchao ran out and turned around to say goodbye to the old man, "Grandpa, put the money away, we have time to see you again." ”

"Walk slowly!" The old man holding a stack of money kept repeating: "Slow down—"

The two of them hurriedly drove out of the village.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they found that a police cordon had been set up on the road, and there was a police car parked on the side of the road, and the police lights on the police car were flashing non-stop.

Two staff members wearing protective clothing stopped their car and told them that a suspected case of new crown had been found in this village, and according to the requirements of epidemic prevention and control, the entire village was closed, and all personnel were only allowed to enter, not leave!

Mu Nan was stupid on the spot, and the tears in his eyes flowed out at once, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. She has always believed that Ma Yang's death is related to Zhou Shanshan, and as long as Zhou Shanshan is found, the case will take a turn for the better, and the execution of Jian Zheng's death sentence can be suspended. But now that they can't get out and are locked up here, that's the last hope she has ever had. Could it be that this is the will of heaven, Jian Zheng is destined to die tomorrow.

Ruan Xianchao was also stunned when he saw her like this, of course he knew how the village was closed for Mu Nan. But he couldn't do anything, he could only comfort her weakly and repeatedly, "Don't worry, let's not be in a hurry, there is always a way, we will always have a way-"

Under the command of the staff, Ruan Xianchao turned the car around, drove slowly without any purpose, and finally returned to Zhou Shanshan's grandfather's house.

The old man was still so enthusiastic that he settled them down temporarily.

The old man killed a chicken, which was the highest courtesy in the village, and brought out the old wine that had been treasured for many years to entertain them.

But Mu Nan didn't eat, and he was in tears all the time, and he didn't say a word.

Seeing her like this, Ruan Xianchao didn't have the heart to eat, so he took a few bites.

At this time, there were staff outside the house who were broadcasting a notice on a loudspeaker, and in order to cooperate with epidemic prevention, all villagers were asked to stay in their homes, not to go out, and to cooperate with the staff to do nucleic acid testing, etc. Among them, due to the heavy task of epidemic prevention work, party members and public officials in the closed and controlled areas were turned into staff on the spot and quickly reported to the village committee.

This made Ruan Xianchao a little dilemma, it stands to reason that as a public official, he should immediately participate in the epidemic prevention work, but in the current situation of Mu Nan, how can he be relieved? After thinking about it, he still made a decision, and he whispered to the old man: "Grandpa, I went to the village committee to participate in the epidemic prevention work, please help me take care of her." ”

Although her voice was small, she was still heard by Mu Nan, and without waiting for the old man to answer, she stood up and spoke: "No need, I am also a public official, and I should also go to participate in epidemic prevention work." The voice was so calm, and she was like two people just now, which surprised Ruan Xianchao.

Mu Nan had already begun to walk out, and turned back to Ruan Xianchao, who was full of astonishment, and said, "Let's go, hurry up." ”

"So-" He was still a little skeptical of the current situation, and didn't even know what to say, "Is it okay?" ”

"Don't worry, that's a big deal, but this fight against the epidemic is even more important." Mu Nan paused and said, "I am also a member of the Communist Party, and I still have this awareness, let's go!" ”

Throughout the night, they have been participating in the anti-epidemic work in the village, engaging in publicity, doing accounting, and guarding the intersection, and they have not slept all the time.
