Ji Hong on the other end of the phone heard Qiao Liang's surprise and smiled, "Xiao Qiao, did you not expect it to be me?"
Qiao Liang nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Hong, why did you remember to call me?"
Ji Hong smiled and said, "I'm here to give you a gift."
Qiao Liang blinked, "Give me a gift?"
Ji Hong nodded affirmatively, "That's right."
Qiao Liang reacted a little, "Sister Hong, you mean you are back in China now?"
Ji Hong smiled and said, "Yes, I am in Shanghai now, with my cousin Zhong Huizi."
Qiao Liang was stunned when he heard this. After Zhong Huizi was transferred to the committee for a period of time, he later wanted to further his studies and went to a well-known university in Shanghai for two years of full-time study. At that time, he also obtained the approval of the city leaders in charge.
, but when Zhong Huizi comes back, I'm afraid he will also lament that things and people in the city have already changed, and the king's flag has changed on the city wall.
Qiao Liang sighed with emotion, and soon heard Ji Hong say, "Xiao Qiao, I'm here to give you a gift on behalf of Xiaoya. Aren't you engaged? Xiaoya personally picked a gift for you as your engagement ceremony.
It was not convenient for her to come back, so she asked me to bring her back, and I just wanted to come back and take a look."
Hearing that it was Fang Xiaoya who gave him a gift, Qiao Liang felt complicated. He had called Fang Xiaoya before. In addition to caring about her physical condition, he also informed Fang Xiaoya about his engagement to Lu Qian. At that time, Fang Xiaoya
Ya expressed sincere congratulations and blessings on the phone, but even so, Qiao Liang couldn't guess how Fang Xiaoya felt in her heart. After all, Fang Xiaoya had once given him full of innocence and solemn desire.
Thinking of the unforgettable college time between himself and Fang Xiaoya, thinking of Fang Xiaoya's selfless help when he was in trouble and struggling, thinking of Fang Xiaoya's miserable life experience and experience of being tortured by illness, Qiao Liang's nose suddenly became sour, and her heart
Waves of pity surged out.
Qiao Liang took a deep breath, rubbed her nose, and said softly, "Sister Hong, I'm sorry to trouble you. Actually, you don't have to come back in person, just send it over."
Ji Hong said, "After you have been away from your hometown for a long time, you will want to come back and visit. After all, there are still relatives here."
Qiao Liang nodded slightly, and Ji Hong added, "Xiao Qiao, I will take the flight back to Jiangzhou in the afternoon, and I will arrive in the evening."
Hearing Ji Hong's words, Qiao Liang subconsciously blurted out, "Sister Hong, you must not come to Jiangzhou."
Qiao Liang's reaction shocked Ji Hong, "Xiao Qiao, what's wrong?"
Qiao Liang said, "Sister Hong, if you are discovered by Chu Heng when you come to Jiangzhou, wouldn't it be troublesome?"
When Ji Hong heard that this was the reason, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Xiao Qiao, didn't he transfer to Huangyuan? It should be fine if I go to Jiangzhou now. Besides, I just went quietly and didn't make any noise."
When Qiao Liang heard Ji Hong's words, he couldn't help but pat his forehead. When he thought of Chu Heng, he had a conditioned reflex and actually forgot that Chu Heng had been transferred to Huangyuan.
After thinking about it, Qiao Liang said, "Sister Hong, for the sake of safety, you should stay in Shanghai and not come here. Just send Xiaoya's gift."
Qiao Liang doesn't have time to make a special trip to Shanghai now, so he can only ask Ji Hong to send it over.
Ji Hong laughed and said, "Xiao Qiao, if I mail it to you, then I might as well not go back to China. I can just mail it to you directly from abroad. When I come back this time, I mainly want to go back to Jiangzhou for a walk."
.”
Qiao Liang thought the same thing. Ji Hong returned to China specially, so he couldn't let Ji Hong not even come back to Jiangzhou, and the main reason was that he wanted to come back and have a look.
Ji Hong said again, "Xiao Qiao, don't worry. He has been transferred to Huangyuan. I can't possibly have anything to do when I go back to Jiangzhou, right? Besides, Jiangzhou is so big, even if he is still in Jiangzhou
So what, can he find out as soon as I go back? He probably thinks I'm dead by now."
Hearing what Ji Hong said, Qiao Liang nodded subconsciously. Ji Hong's words made sense. Chu Heng had been transferred. Ji Hong should be fine when he came back. He was obviously a little too worried.
Qiao Liang then asked, "Sister Hong, are you taking the afternoon flight?"
Ji Hong nodded, "Yes, the afternoon flight will arrive in Jiangzhou in the evening."
Qiao Liang said, "Sister Hong, then I will pick you up at the airport tonight."
Ji Hong did not refuse and said with a smile, "Okay, see you in the evening."
The two chatted for a few more words, and Qiao Liang returned to the office after hanging up the phone.
After taking a lunch break in the office, Qiao Liang was busy until after five o'clock in the afternoon, and then took a taxi to the airport. Ji Hong told him in the afternoon that he would arrive in Jiangzhou around 6:30 p.m. Qiao Liang also had to take a taxi from the city to the airport.
More than half an hour.
After waiting at the airport for about ten minutes, Qiao Liang saw Ji Hong's figure appearing in the exit passage, dragging a large suitcase.
Qiao Liang quickly stepped forward and helped the other party take the suitcase.
Ji Hong was not polite to Qiao Liang and handed the suitcase to Qiao Liang while looking at Qiao Liang.
"Xiao Qiao, you haven't changed at all." Ji Hong said with a smile.
"How can I change?" Qiao Liang smiled, "And it hasn't been that long since we last met."
"No, it's been a long time, it should be two years, right?" Ji Hong sighed.
"Then it should be there." Qiao Liang said uncertainly. Thinking about it carefully, it was quite a long time ago.
The two walked out of the airport while talking. Ji Hong raised his head and glanced at the sky, then suddenly stopped where he was.
Qiao Liang didn't know why and looked at Ji Hong strangely, "Sister Hong, what's wrong?"
Ji Hong murmured, "The moon is brighter than my hometown, so my hometown is better."
Hearing Ji Hong's emotion, Qiao Liang felt inexplicable for a moment. He knew that although Ji Hong was living a good life abroad, he was still unfamiliar with the place where he lived. Even if he had a few relatives and friends, he was not familiar with the place around him.
It is a completely unfamiliar circle, and it is not easy to fully integrate into the local life.
But it is unrealistic for Ji Hong to return to China to live. Unless Chu Heng goes in one day, Chu Heng will always be a threat to Ji Hong.
Ji Hong just sighed briefly, then turned to Qiao Liang and smiled and said, "Xiao Qiao, do you think I'm a bit pretentious? Many people want to go abroad but can't. I can't settle abroad but I'm not satisfied."
Qiao Liang smiled and said, "How could it be? It is normal for people to miss their hometown when they are abroad."
Ji Hong smiled and nodded, "Let's go back to the city."
Qiao Liang reached out to stop a taxi and helped Ji Hong put the suitcase into the trunk of the car. Qiao Liang then got in the car.
Ji Hong looked a little confused when he saw that Qiao Liang didn't drive over. Qiao Liang explained, "Sister Hong, my driver's license has been revoked and I can't drive for the time being."
Ji Hong suddenly said, "That's it."
The two of them returned to the city by car. Qiao Liang had already booked a hotel for Ji Hong. After settling in the hotel first, Qiao Liang asked Ji Hong, "Sister Hong, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Ji Hong smiled and said, "I want to eat everything. After staying abroad for a long time, I miss the taste of my hometown."
Qiao Liang said, "Then let's go eat some local specialties."
Ji Hong nodded, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangement."
The two of them came out of the hotel and walked along the street, planning to find a nearby restaurant with local specialties for dinner.
Ji Hong looked very interested, as if he hadn't been shopping for a long time. He looked here and there, smiling and inexplicably happy from beginning to end.
Seeing this, Qiao Liang smiled and said, "Sister Hong, you seem very happy to be back this time?"
Ji Hong nodded and said, "Of course I'm happy to be back, and since he's not in Jiangzhou anymore, I feel like it's extra easy to come back this time. I can take a walk around Jiangzhou and see it, and I don't have to worry anymore."
After hearing this, Qiao Liang asked, "Sister Hong, have you been paying attention to the situation in China when you are abroad? Otherwise, how would you know that he has been transferred to Huangyuan?"
Ji Hong hummed, "I've been paying attention to his movements."
Hearing what Ji Hong said, Qiao Liang thought that Chu Heng might have become Ji Hong's inner demon.
The two walked for a while, and Qiao Liang saw a restaurant in front of him that he had eaten at before, and said, "Sister Hong, I've eaten at that restaurant before, and it tasted pretty good. How about going to that restaurant?"
Ji Hong smiled and said, "Okay, now I want to eat all the dishes from my hometown."
Seeing that Ji Hong didn't object, Qiao Liang took Ji Hong to the restaurant he had been to before.
At this time, Qiao Liang and Ji Hong did not notice that when they walked into the hotel, a man behind them had been staring at their backs for a while.
If Qiao Liang looked back, he would have recognized the man as Dong Xingbang, the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau. However, Qiao Liang was not familiar with Dong Xingbang. He only knew that there was such a deputy director in the Municipal Bureau and had met him several times. How have we contacted and communicated with each other?
Dong Xingbang had been watching Qiao Liang and Ji Hong for a while now. He had just come out from the hotel for dinner. At first, he only noticed Qiao Liang. Because Ji Hong and Qiao Liang were walking together, Dong Xingbang looked at Ji Hong. He glanced at her and was a little surprised, because he immediately recognized that Ji Hong was very similar to Chu Heng's ex-wife.
When Ji Hong disappeared, Chu Heng used various means to find out Ji Hong's whereabouts, both openly and secretly. As Dong Xingbang was the deputy director of the municipal bureau, Chu Heng naturally asked Dong Xingbang to find out. Xingbang inquired about Ji Hong's whereabouts through the police system. Therefore, Dong Xingbang knew Ji Hong well. You can imagine Dong Xingbang's surprise when he saw Ji Hong at first sight.
However, Dong Xingbang did not immediately think of Ji Hong as Chu Heng's ex-wife 'Ji Hong' at this moment. He only regarded it as someone who looked very similar. After watching Qiao Liang and Ji Hong disappear at the door of the hotel, Dong Xingbang He gradually came back to his senses and wondered how could there be such similar people? There is no way there are people who look exactly the same in this world, and he knew that Chu Heng's ex-wife 'Ji Hong' did not have biological sisters.
Thinking about it in his mind, Dong Xingbang picked up his cell phone and called Chu Heng. As far as Dong Xingbang knew, Chu Heng's ex-wife was just missing. Although Chu Heng had told him to treat her as dead, she gave up the search. However, no one is alive or dead, and no one is sure that 'Ji Hong' is really dead.
Out of this thought, Dong Xingbang thought about telling Chu Heng about this matter in time.
After the call was answered, Dong Xingbang asked straight to the point, "Director Chu, has your ex-wife Ji Hong really passed away?"
