Tang Min was very happy when she heard that her grandpa was coming to see her, "Okay, then I'll call my grandpa later and ask him when he will come over. I'll be waiting at home. I miss them too."
Molly successfully diverted Tang Min's attention. Seeing how happy she was when she mentioned her grandfather, Molly finally felt better.
She didn't want her daughter to be affected by Lin Yongqiang's troubles, but she couldn't protest openly, so she could only let her interact with other people in the family to distract her attention.
………
Gu Jingchuan called in the evening and said he was having dinner with Gao Zheng and would be back later.
After Tang finished eating, he stayed in the room alone to study Lin Yongqiang's physical condition and future treatment directions.
at this time.
In a tavern in Bincheng, two tall and handsome men were sitting opposite each other.
Gao Zheng took the rare initiative to pick up the wine cup and clink glasses with Gu Jingchuan.
Gu Jingchuan could tell that Gao Zheng was in a bad mood. He rarely drank alcohol, but today he took the initiative to ask him out and wanted to have a drink with him.
Gu Jingchuan took a sip and looked at the man sitting across from him, sipping from a glass of white wine. He reminded, "Drink less, just in case you have a job later."
Normally, Gao Zheng doesn't drink at all because he is afraid of something happening at work. Even if he goes to a party with everyone, he only takes a symbolic sip and never drinks too much.
However, Gao Zheng finished one cup and poured himself another cup, "It's okay. I asked for leave. I don't have any important work for the time being."
As Gao Zheng spoke, he picked up the wine cup and took a sip.
"Lao Gao, are you worried?" Gu Jingchuan looked at the man with a gloomy face and no energy and asked.
Gao Zheng did not answer his question directly, but looked at him and asked in a serious tone, "Jingchuan, does your Xiaomin blame me?"
"Why do you blame me?" Gu Jingchuan raised his eyes and looked at him in confusion.
"Knowingly asking questions, Lin Yongqiang is now lying in the hospital bed, with his life and death uncertain. It is all my responsibility. When I asked Lin Yongqiang to be my informant, I promised Tang Min that I would guarantee his safety. I broke my promise."
When Gao Zheng said this, he poured himself another cup of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Gu Jingchuan could feel how much psychological pressure Gao Zheng was feeling at this time.
He had been blaming himself for Lin Yongqiang's injury, and he took all the responsibility on himself.
Gu Jingchuan put the wine bottle on the table under the table to prevent Gao Zheng from drinking too much. "What nonsense are you talking about? How can this be your responsibility? It was done by those unscrupulous drug dealers and has nothing to do with you."
Gao Zheng seemed unable to listen to Gu Jingchuan's advice. His expression was solemn and his tone was full of guilt. "I promised Tang Min that I would protect Lin Yongqiang's safety, but I failed to do it. The responsibility for this lies with me."
Gu Jingchuan stood up, patted his shoulder, and comforted him, "You tried your best. No one wants to see something like this happen. Xiao Min has never blamed you, and none of us have blamed you. Don't think too much."
"
Gao Zheng's work pressure is already high enough, and now he has to bear such a psychological burden. Gu Jingchuan really feels sorry for him and is trying his best to relieve him.
However, Gao Zheng today seemed to have fallen into a dead end and could not get out. He lowered his eyes and sighed, "Sometimes I think about how sorry I am for you. When I was in the army, I took you on missions.
I got into a wheelchair, suffered so much, and finally took off my military uniform. That time I was very
I often blame myself, but now Lin Yongqiang is seriously injured again, how can I feel better?"
The more Gao Zheng said, the more guilty he felt, "If it weren't for completing the mission with me, you wouldn't have to endure such pain."
Gu Jingchuan's expression turned ugly when he heard this. He pulled open the collar of Gao Zheng's sweater to reveal the scar on his chest. He looked at him with stern eyes and asked, "What about your injuries? Who are you going to talk to?"
Gao Zheng looked into Gu Jingchuan's sharp eyes and remained silent.
Gu Jingchuan let go of his hand, pulled up his collar for him, and sat on the seat opposite him. He took out a wine bottle from under the table and poured it for the two of them. He looked at Gao Zheng and said seriously, "Old Gao,
We are not here for your injuries, but for justice."
He picked up the wine cup and motioned to Gao Zheng to raise his glass, and the two clinked their glasses.
Gu Jingchuan finished his drink, put down the wine cup, and said with a chuckle, "Actually, to put it bluntly, I am very happy that Lin Yongqiang was injured this time. It proves that he is on the right path and he can distinguish right from wrong at critical moments. I
We feel very relieved. In the past, he was just a little gangster in our hearts. As long as he didn't cause trouble for others and stopped causing trouble behind his back, we wouldn't even think about what great actions he would make to safeguard justice and sacrifice himself. This time
, we were really surprised and pleased that he could step in at the critical moment."
Although Lin Yongqiang's injury is so serious now, which tugs at everyone's heart, to a certain extent, this is also a good thing.
At least, he did something meaningful.
Gao Zheng agreed with Gu Jingchuan's words and said, "I didn't expect that either."
Lin Yongqiang's behavior this time exceeded almost everyone's expectations.
Gu Jingchuan looked at him and said, "Don't worry, Dr. Feng has already come forward to treat him. He will be fine. I believe that after this ordeal, he will definitely change his ways and walk on the right path in the future. Xiao Min will also have less to worry about."
When Gu Jingchuan said this, Gao Zheng became more at ease, "I hope he can wake up and recover, otherwise I will have to live with guilt every day."
"Relax." Gu Jingchuan patted his shoulder, looked at the tense man, and teased with a smile, "When did the tall devil become so compassionate and sentimental? It would be great if you were as hard-hearted as before."
Gao Zheng glanced sideways at him and sneered, "Do you think my heart is really made of stone?"
"Isn't it? You've changed so much in the past year that I don't even recognize you anymore."
In the past, in the army, Gao Zheng simply had no heart.
How is it possible to have feelings like guilt?
"I haven't changed." Gao Zheng said, "I'm just willing to express myself."
He seemed to have untied the knot in his heart and poured himself another drink, "Come and drink."
"Drink less." Gu Jingchuan stopped him.
Gao Zheng ignored his persuasion and insisted on clinking glasses with Gu Jingchuan while holding a wine cup, "Here, let's have one."
Gu Jingchuan was afraid that if he drank too much and the taste would be too strong, Tang Min would be nauseous if he smelled it when he got home, so he did not dare to drink more. He clinked glasses and put the wine cups down again, but Gao Zheng let himself go, one cup after another.
In the end, he managed to drink too much, and then the normally aloof devil began to chatter endlessly.
Reminiscing about old times with Gu Jingchuan.
Gu Jingchuan glanced at his watch. It was getting late. He was still thinking about going home to accompany his wife. He planned to end the drinking party between the two of them. "It's very late. Let's go. I'll take you home." Tang Min heard that her grandfather was going to
She was very happy to see her, "Okay, then I'll call my grandpa later and ask him when he will come over. I'll be waiting at home. I miss them too."
