Someone was walking by. Old Tang stopped him and asked, "Do you have any cigarettes?"
The cigarettes and fire were handed over together. Old Tang took out one and asked Liang Jian: "Do you want it?"
Liang Jian took it. In fact, he had not smoked for a long time. So did Old Tang. However, at this moment, both of them needed this cigarette to help them survive these uncomfortable fifteen minutes.
Every second seemed like a year. But, fortunately, they finally arrived. The phone rang, and the calm voice on the other end made Old Tang relax. When he turned to look at Liang Jian, he couldn't hide the emotion. The excitement made Liang Jian relax instantly. He leaned back against the door frame, feeling exhausted.
Turning around, I happened to see Xiang Jin coming to see them because the time was up.
"The neon clothes are on the way back." Liang Jian said. Xiang Jin stopped and stood there, raising his hands to cover his mouth, but tears couldn't help streaming down. Liang Jian stepped forward, hugged her in his arms, and whispered :"sorry."
These three words were very pale, but what else could Liang Jian say? It was he who had given them such a fright.
Five minutes later, before Nishang arrived, Han Bing's call came first. Liang Jian looked at it for a while and then picked up.
Han Bing was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone, and suddenly asked: "Liang Jian, who are you?"
Liang Jian didn't answer. There was nothing left to say to her. This battle had come to an end. Liang Jian put down his phone and was about to hang up when he suddenly thought of someone and the last time they parted. , that look when he looked back. He suddenly wanted to ask Han Bing something. Putting the phone to his ear again, he asked: "When you go to bed at night, do you dream about He Jianxiang?"
On the other end of the phone, Han Bing was stunned. After a long call, he suddenly screamed: "It's all you! It was you who killed him! It wasn't me! If it weren't for you, he would have been abroad now!"
Liang Jian was a little stunned by Han Bing's reaction and answer, but then he thought about it again. Isn't this the common thinking path of the evil heroine in TV dramas? Self-deception, self-evasion, and shirking the responsibility on others.
Liang Jian didn't say anything else and hung up the phone.
Not long after, two black eight-seater SUVs drove up to the gate of the small courtyard. The side door of a car opened, and a strong man stepped out of the car holding a child.
Xiang Jin rushed out first, running over as fast as he could. Liang Jian also followed.
Xiang Jin took the child. She was so excited that she said thank you and hugged the child, tears rolling down her eyes uncontrollably.
"Thank you." Liang Jian supported Xiang Jin with one hand and held the man's hand with the other, and said seriously. Old Tang didn't say anything, but raised his hand and patted his shoulder hard twice.
The man said: "Those people seem to be leaving, so I left two people there to watch. Chief, what do you think we should do?"
Liang Jian was so focused on Nishang just now that he didn't take a closer look at the man in front of him. As soon as the man spoke, Liang Jian's attention was focused on him. The man was wearing a standard combat uniform and combat vest, except that he was not carrying a large submachine gun. The rest were similar to the American soldiers in those American blockbusters. Those black pistols and bright military spurs made Liang Jian a little dazed.
Liang Jian suddenly woke up. No wonder there was a hint of panic in Han Bing's tone when he asked him who he was.
At this time, Old Tang said: "Contact the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, briefly explain the matter, and ask them to take it over. As for your people, just go back. This time, you have been exposed.
There’s no point staying here anymore, just pack up and go back.”
"What about your safety, chief?" the man asked hurriedly.
"Just keep Xiao Wu!" Old Tang said. As soon as he finished speaking, he added: "You can also keep Xiao Wu."
"Yes! Then I will make arrangements now." The man turned and left.
As soon as he left, Old Tang leaned over and looked at Ni Shang, who was sleeping peacefully in Xiang Jin's arms. His eyes were full of tenderness. Then, he raised his head and said to Liang Jian and Liang Jian: "Let someone send Xiang Jin and the child back first. In case your mother
They are worried at home. Liang Jian, please accompany me to the provincial government."
Liang Jian actually wanted to accompany Xiang Jin and the others, but some things must come to an end. After sending Xiang Jin to the car, Liang Jian and Old Tang got into another car and drove to the provincial government.
Coincidentally, just as Liang Jian's car arrived at the gate of the provincial government, he happened to see a car from the Public Security Department driving in. Through the car window, he could see Han Bing sitting in the back seat with an expressionless face.
The people from the Public Security Department acted very quickly. Liang Jian thought that Xia Churong had been holding back on them for a long time, and now that the opportunity had come, he might be even more anxious than Liang Jian.
After getting out of the car, Liang Jian asked Old Tang who he was going to see.
Old Tang said, go see Zhang Qiang.
Liang Jian took Old Tang to the door of Zhang Qiang's office. He wanted to go into the secretary's office to ask, but found that the office door was locked. Liang Jian had to go directly and knocked on Zhang Qiang's office door.
"Come in." Zhang Qiang's voice came from inside the door.
Liang Jian opened the door, let Old Tang in, and followed him in. As soon as he stepped through the door, Old Tang suddenly said: "Liang Jian, please wait for me outside."
Liang Jian was stunned and had no choice but to retreat.
After closing the door, Liang Jian didn't know what Old Tang and Zhang Qiang said, but Liang Jian felt that it might be similar to what they talked about at the Qingya Farm that day.
While the waiting process was going on, Liang Jian received a call from Minister Xiang. Liang Jian originally thought that he knew about Nishang being taken away and came to investigate, but no.
Minister Xiang said: "My people have taken over the entire review of the Liangzhou team. They have already set off. I will also go to Ningzhou tomorrow."
"Okay." Liang Jian said, "Do you need me to pick you up?"
Minister Xiang said: "No, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will arrange the car."
"Okay. Then when you have time, let us know and Xiang Jin and I will come over to see you." Liang Jian said. At this point, he thought that Minister Xiang was unaware of the two frightening hours before.
But what Minister Xiang said next made Liang Jian have to overturn his belief. He asked: "Are Xiang Jin and Nichang okay? Are they not injured?"
Liang Jian was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "No. Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't protect them well."
But Minister Xiang sighed and said: "It has happened. Since they are fine, don't blame yourself. In fact, speaking of it, I am partly responsible for something like today happening. I thought too much,
But I forgot that you are my son-in-law. No matter what I do, this is an inevitable fact. I should have taken a firm stand from the beginning."
Liang Jian didn't say anything. Regarding Minister Xiang's previous actions in Liangzhou, Liang Jian said that it was impossible that he had no idea at all. But as Minister Xiang said, it was inevitable that he was his son-in-law.
The fact exists, and for Liang Jian, no matter what Minister Xiang decides, he is Xiang Jin's father, and it is a fact that cannot be changed.
After hanging up the phone, Liang Jian casually found a wall and sat down. He suddenly felt very tired. This kind of fatigue came out from all parts of his body, making him want to lie down immediately, not thinking about anything, just close his eyes and fall asleep.
, sleeping until the end of time.
When Liang Jian was leaning against the wall and resting with his eyes closed, footsteps suddenly came to him and stopped. Liang Jian opened his eyes and saw a familiar face.
After the initial shock, there was a surprise. He stood up hurriedly, and in a moment of excitement, regardless of whether he was in the government building or not, he reached out and grabbed her hand, and asked: "Where were you before? Why didn't the phone turn on?"
Won't you tell me?"
After saying that, she didn't speak. She just smiled, and the smile was a little forced. She gently pushed his hand away. The disappointment surged from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't stop it. Liang Jian smiled and stopped talking. He just looked at her.
He couldn't help but stay on her face, looking at her carefully, as if if he wasn't careful, she would disappear again.
She lost weight, but her eyes were very bright, so bright that Liang Jian felt a little unreal. For some reason, Liang Jian suddenly panicked.
At this time, she spoke.
"Why are you sitting here?"
Liang Jian smiled and said, "I'm waiting for someone."
She looked at him and suddenly turned around to leave. Liang Jian panicked and blurted out, "Aren't you still willing to forgive me?"
She stopped and her body stiffened. After a long time, she shook her head and replied: "If there is no blame, there is no forgiveness."
"Then why don't you want to see me?" Liang Jian asked again.
She turned around, smiled at him, and said, "Don't you think we need a new beginning?"
Liang Jian was stunned.
He wanted to say something more. But at this time, the door of Governor Zhang's office opened, and Old Tang walked out, with Zhang Qiang seeing him off from behind. Liang Jian had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips.
Governor Zhang saw Hu Xiaoying standing next to Liang Jianjian, glanced at Liang Jian's face, and said with a smile: "You're here."
Old Tang walked up to Hu Xiaoying, looked at her, and suddenly said: "Are you Comrade Hu Xiaoying?"
Liang Jian was shocked. He didn't know that Old Tang could still recognize Hu Xiaoying.
Hu Xiaoying nodded and then asked: "Who are you?"
Old Tang smiled and said, "I am Liang Jian's father."
Hu Xiaoying turned to look at Liang Jian in astonishment. This father was different from the Liang Jian's father that Hu Xiaoying knew. Liang Jian did not explain, and some words could not be explained clearly in a sentence or two. Old Tang also did not give Liang Jian time.
explain.
After leaving there, Liang Jian couldn't help but wonder in his heart and asked Old Tang: "How did you know about her?"
Old Tang smiled and said, "You are my son. As a father, shouldn't I care about what kind of woman you like?"
Liang Jian didn't know how to answer. Hu Xiaoying was like a big secret hidden in Liang Jian's heart. Although this secret was no longer a secret, Liang Jian was still a little uncomfortable when Old Tang pointed it out so straightforwardly.
Old Tang glanced at him and suddenly said seriously: "Actually, Xiang Jin is very suitable for you. Hu Xiaoying is not suitable for you. Even if you marry her, you will not have a good result."
"Why?" Liang Jian asked. In fact, he knew this in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it, nor did he want to hear others say it.
Old Tang said: "What you need is a woman who can stand behind you, but she is not. She is a woman who wants to stand with you."
Liang Jian fell silent. Old Tang was right. It might be unrealistic for Hu Xiaoying to give up her future and work and stand behind him willingly. He remembered that that night, he asked her if she would give up her job.
, was she willing, her silence at that time...
Maybe, as she said, they really need a new beginning.
