In the military region office building, since Chief Jin retired two years ago, the position of chief has been vacant for two years. This year Jiang Hao returned with full honors. Not only did he take the position of supreme leader as he wished, but he also had a military medal on his chest.
However, all these honors could not make him happy. The blood and tears behind them still made him extremely sad.
Xiaofang knocked on the door and came in, saying happily: "Chief, there is news from Captain Shen. I have received reliable news and my sister-in-law will go to the trial."
Jiang Hao's eyes lit up, "Are you sure?"
Xiao Fang nodded and said: "Captain Shen is very sure."
Jiang Hao finally showed his long-lost smile. She had been hiding from him for three years, nine months and twenty-two days, and she was finally showing up. He didn't expect her to be so able to hide.
For such a long time, he only knew that she was in Linzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and there were records of bank information deposits and withdrawals, but he didn't know where exactly.
Every time he couldn't help but go looking for him, he was dissuaded by Chief Jin and his father. They were right. He had a mission, and even if he found the person, he couldn't do anything.
Captain Shen also repeatedly assured him that the person was there, and if he looked for it, he would definitely find it.
Year after year, he also calmed down, but his longing for her became more and more intense day by day. On the day when Xiao Tianai and others landed, he bought a ticket to Jiangnan without having time to rest. When he arrived at the airport, he went through the security check and went to the airport. As he got off the plane, he suddenly felt a sense of home away from home. He didn't dare to see her, and he despised himself. He actually got off the plane and didn't go.
After so many years, he didn't know her current situation. What if she remarried, found a husband who loved her and she loved her, and lived a contented life in a small town. If he suddenly went to look for her, what would it mean to him? If she can't accept it, her life will be disrupted.
He didn't dare to think about these things, he was afraid to think about them.
It's two different things for him to go looking for her and to come back with her. Her coming back means that she is mentally prepared to see him, which he hopes is more like this. He has been waiting for more than three years, and it is not less than these few days. He suppressed his impatience and waited for her to come back.
Since Jiang Hao was awarded awards and promoted, people from the Jiang family would inevitably come to congratulate him. No, as soon as Jiang Hao came home, he saw his mother counting the gifts.
Lin Caiyin looked at him and said, "Ah Hao, are you back? Come and take a look. I have something for you."
Jiang Hao looked at it, frowned and said, "Mom, didn't I tell you that this is not good?"
"What's wrong with eating a few crabs from others? It's not worth a few dollars, it's just a piece of their heart. Just don't eat it for a while. Well, this tie was given to you by Fang Minyi. You need to return it. "With that said, Lin Caiyin threw the tie box over.
Jiang Hao had no choice but to reach out and pick it up. It was a burgundy famous brand tie. It looked of good quality and should be expensive.
While Lin Caiyin was busy with what she was doing, she said: "This little girl Fang Minyi is really nice, low-key, generous, and sensible. There are few young people nowadays who can be as steady as her. After all, she is the daughter taught by Principal Fang. no the same."
Jiang Hao understood his mother's intention as soon as he heard it. He didn't want to talk and turned around to go upstairs.
Lin Caiyin hurriedly stopped him, "Ah Hao, remember to return it to me in person."
Jiang Hao threw away his tie and said, "Bring it to Dad."
"How old is your dad? He can't carry such a young tie, so it's suitable for you to wear it." Lin Caiyin chased upstairs, "Hey, Ah Hao, if you want to return it, go and return it in person."
Jiang Hao stopped, turned around, looked down at his mother, and warned solemnly, "Mom, can you please stop using this method? It's terrible, rough, and not clever at all."
Lin Caiyin smiled dryly and said: "Hey, since you know that it is my method of provoking generals, you should understand what I am thinking. This little girl Fang Minyi is good, you..." Jiang Hao turned around and went straight upstairs, even faster,
"Hey, hey, Ah Hao, listen to me. You are already thirty-seven and almost forty. Do you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life? Ah?"
Jiang Hao entered the room and closed the door, but Lin Caiyin still refused to give up and said: "After all these years, Qiao Xinwei will never come back. Maybe she has remarried long ago. Can you think about me and your dad? Ah Hao?
!??well??"
Listening to his mother's deep sigh outside the door, Jiang Hao was confused. What confused him was not his mother's expectations, but Qiao Xinwei's current situation. Facing her, he, who had always been confident, lost his confidence. He didn't have that
Confident that she will wait for him.
Fang Minyi is the only daughter of the principal of a prestigious school. She is a well-behaved and sensible little girl. She is only twenty-three years old this year. Twenty-three is the age when Qiao Xinwei had a blind date with him and had a flash marriage.
He has met Fang Minyi, a young girl who is very similar to Qiao Xinwei. Not only does she look similar, but she also has a similar personality. She is optimistic, lively, and humorous. She can joke and talk about serious things.
.
However, he has no idea at all. He really admires his mother for finding this.
Just after lying down to rest for a while, the knock on the door rang again. He ignored it, but Lin Caiyin outside opened the door and walked in, "Are you asleep?"
"kindness."
Lin Caiyin smiled and approached the bed, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Whatever." He didn't think his mother was here to ask him such a simple question, "Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it, but just say Fang Minyi, you go out." He was tired of his mother being like this.
Lin Caiyin sighed and silently placed the tie gift box on the bedside table, "She specially picked it with her heart in mind."
"Take it away!" Jiang Hao didn't even open his eyes.
"Well, your dad was anxious again yesterday. He went for a check-up and took a X-ray. The doctor said that the left atrium was enlarged."
This is also something that worries Jiang Hao. Time makes people grow old, and his father, who he once regarded as a role model, is no longer in good health.
"Although your dad didn't say it, I know him. He has the same thoughts as me, which is that he hopes you will get married and have a child soon." Lin Caiyin saw that he closed his eyes calmly, and then said, "I know you find me annoying.
, but I’m doing it all for your own good. You were hurt so deeply, and you still expect her to wait for you? You’re stupid! There are so many divorces now. A divorce without children is the same as never getting married.
It’s the same as marriage, she’s not bad looking and has a good personality, so will no one pursue her?”
Jiang Hao felt upset and turned his back to her.
Lin Caiyin said cautiously: "Besides, she is not young anymore. The price of a woman drops after she is twenty-five, and she has to pay back after she is thirty. She is not stupid, so she can't live with her youth."
"The case is so sensational, she won't know about it. If she could forgive you, she would have come back a long time ago."
"Ah Hao, if not, why don't you have a day off tomorrow? Make an appointment with Fang Minyi to see her. You can't just take the things she gives you for free. You have to give them back a share."
Jiang Hao finally couldn't bear it any longer and roared, "Get out!"
Lin Caiyin was startled and did not dare to continue talking about Fang Minyi, "Okay, okay, I'm going out? Don't fall asleep. It's time to eat. Wait a minute."
Jiang Hao's already restless heart became more and more turbulent. What his mother said was not unreasonable. Why should Qiao Xinwei wait for him?
He sat up from the bed, covering his aching heart, feeling very flustered.
——
On the day of the trial, Qiao Xinwei arrived at the court early. The court had not yet opened, but the door was already packed with people. When she asked, she found out that they were all here to hear the trial.
Xiao Tian loves criminals to a great extent. Not only does he system drug trafficking, but he also involves many lives. The hundreds of people at the door are the families of the victims.
Some were already very calm, like her, while others were still very sad. The whole family came, everyone's eyes were red, and one person cried, causing everyone else to cry.
It's not that everyone doesn't know the opening hours of the court, but everyone can't wait to see the murderer.
Suddenly a car drove up at the door. Qiao Xinwei turned around and saw Chen Jingye walking out of the cab. She hadn't seen him for many years. Chen Jingye had black-framed eyes. He looked almost unchanged and was still the same.
Chen Jingye also saw her. Among the noisy crowd, she was pretty, clean and quiet, but she actually stood out.
"Qiao Xinwei, you're here too."
"Well, what's wrong with you??" Qiao Xinwei suddenly thought of something, "Isn't Yun Qing's death an accident?"
Chen Jingye nodded, "I have been waiting for this day for four years. I want to see Zhou Xiaoyi and Xiao Tianai being executed with my own eyes. I will have to testify in court soon. For the first time in my life, I am quite nervous."
Qiao Xinwei was quite shocked. Listening to the cries of those people and seeing Chen Jingye's persistence, it seemed that everyone felt the same grief for losing their loved ones.
Chen Jingye said: "I know everything about you and Ah Hao. To be honest, I admire Ah Hao so much and feel sorry for you. But I haven't seen Ah Hao for a long time. I have been in Shenzhen in the past few years. I have received calls from
I just came back with the notice."
Qiao Xinwei smiled faintly, "It's all over."
"Xinwei, where have you been all these years? Are you alone now?"
A strong wind blew and messed up her hair. She picked up a few strands of hair on the side of her face and tucked them behind her ears calmly. She looked up at Chen Jingye and said, "I..." Just as she was about to speak, the automatic door of the court opened.
He said, "Hey, the door is open, let's go in."
A guard stood up and said: "Please be patient, there is still an hour left before the court. Please go to the conference room No. 1 to rest. There is tea supply there. Please go this way."
At the same time, a military commercial vehicle drove to the door and drove in behind the crowd.
Chen Jingye saw it and said, "Is that Hao's car?"
Qiao Xin was stunned and didn't dare to look back for a long time. She just pretended not to hear, "I'll go in first, it's too windy outside."
The military commercial vehicle did not stop and drove directly to the parking lot. Chen Jingye followed it curiously. He was sure that it was Jiang Hao's special vehicle.
The business car parked in a specific parking space. As soon as the door opened, Jiang Hao got out of the back seat. He was dressed in military uniform, full of energy and heroic appearance.
"Ah Hao, let me just say it's you," said an old friend who hadn't seen each other for many years. They hugged each other, "Didn't you see us just now? Qiao Xinwei and I."
Jiang Hao's eyes darkened, "I saw it, there were so many people, it was difficult to park." Of course he saw it, and when he saw Qiao Xinwei leaving without looking back, he was heartbroken at that time.
