Two years later.
"Mr. Xie, you need to take these medicines on time. We will provide the injection needles to the Meiyu private hospital, which must be taken every two months." In the New York nursing home, the brown-haired doctor wearing a mask explained to Xie Qing.
"Although your situation has improved a little, if you don't take good care of yourself, your current treatment results can easily be ruined. Our advice here is to wait until you've dealt with those things before you come back to us to continue. Hospitalization... Don't give up hope, we have been developing a special drug that can cure the complications of rn-13, you live an extra year, and the possibility of waiting for the drug will greatly increase... "
"Thank you, I understand." Xie Qingcheng interrupted the doctor.
After two years of contact, he knew that the doctor was a talker. If he was allowed to keep talking like this, it would be endless.
Xie Qingcheng wrapped a plain black woolen trench coat, pulled his suitcase, and entered the taxi to the airport sideways.
He is ready to go home.
The continuous precision treatment has indeed allowed him to maintain some organ functions. Although his health is still very poor, as long as he takes the medicine well, he will not die of organ failure for the time being in the past few years. However, his eyesight is still fading, he must wear glasses now, otherwise everything will be blurred.
The attending physician is a person who believes in idealism. When he does not talk about science, he will tell Xie Qing that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Do you know why your eyes have not been cured, or even worsened? It must be because your heart is sealed, you don't want to see all this happening now, so your eyes have given up self-help.
Xie Qingcheng was a downright materialist, and only gave him a cold look, looking a little like a blank eye.
The doctor at the New York Sanatorium also suggested that he have an operation, saying that in the research institute they cooperated with, a scientist invented a prosthetic eye. , can be completely false.
Xie Qingcheng also refused.
He is not in the mood to worry about his eyes now, and he doesn't know how many years he will eventually live anyway.
When he returned to China this time, he had a very important task to do. After the outbreak of the naval battle, Duan Wen's gang called the "Mandela Organization", including the rn-13, was directly detected by the military and police. tracked down. In the past two years, Xie Qingcheng has cooperated with them several times in their investigations. Besides, in their opinion, the case has nothing to do with him.
However, a while ago, the Dean of Aesthetic Education and Team Zheng, who was in charge of contacting him, suddenly called him to say that there was a serious medical case in China. There are criminals who sell generic drugs to leukemia patients through private channels. The drug is expensive to buy through formal channels, and many families have had to buy so-called "substitutes," and as a result, some people have taken advantage of this loophole and sold a large number of experimental drugs.
The composition of this medicine is very similar to the obedient water derived from rn-13, and it is currently officially named "Obey No. 2". People who have taken Obedience No. 2 will be mentally manipulated at any time, but Obedience No. 2 should only be a test product. Soon after the victim is manipulated, he will quickly become crazy and insane, and he will not listen to anyone. Can be put in a mental hospital.
After the police discovered this situation, they promptly cut off the supply chain of Obedience No. 2, destroyed seven suspected criminal gangs, and arrested hundreds of suspects involved.
It's a pity that these people are only smugglers/smugglers shipped from the Golden Triangle, and their connection with the middle layer is completely cut off. Although the police knew that this must have been Duan Wen's large-scale injection of experimental drugs, they suffered from the lack of any evidence.
The drug influence of Obedience No. 2 has caused great distress to the police, because some people dare not admit that they have taken this drug, and they have a gambling mentality and want to hide the matter. -In the past month or so, there have been six vicious wounding incidents in the society after people who obeyed No. 2 users fell ill. The public opinion could no longer be suppressed. It is necessary to develop effective therapeutic drugs for those who get sick as soon as possible.
As for the familiarity of rn-13, Xie Qingcheng is the highest.
So they desperately need him back now.
The patient and the country needed him, so he was naturally obliged. The plane landed at Shanghai International Airport. When Xie Qingcheng dragged his suitcase out of the customs, he saw Wei Dongheng's family and Aunt Li at a glance.
Aunt Li is a little older, but she is still in good spirits. Now she often helps Xie Xue take the child, she is almost half the grandmother of the child. As soon as she saw Xie Qingcheng, tears came down, crying and laughing.
"elder brother!"
It turned out that Xie Xue flew forward, as fast as a flash of lightning, even though she was already the mother of a two-year-old child, she still hugged him like a girl.
Although Xie Xue flew to the United States to visit him last year, she did not stay for long. After all, she has become a family, and she has a newborn child who needs her mother's care. Therefore, this time Xie Qingcheng came back, and she was still very excited.
"Brother, are you tired? Come home with us, everything is ready at home, I asked Xiaowei to install a very comfortable jacuzzi for you, let's go back right away, you take a good bath, rest first... "She was chattering, and Wei Dongheng came over, holding two-year-old Wei Mengya in his arms.
"Brother." Wei Dongheng greeted Xie Qingcheng with a smile, raised his daughter's hand and asked her to wave to Xie Qingcheng, "Come on, Ya Ya, call me uncle."
Wei Mengya has been forced to make video calls with her uncle who is far away in the United States under her parents' prostitution/intimidation in the past two years, although she doesn't even understand what a video call is.
When she saw Xie Qingcheng, her black bean-like eyes opened wide, and then her saliva flowed out first, and she suddenly giggled, "Uncle...
Xie Qingcheng: "…"
Xie Xue could see from his brother's subtle expression that his brother's DNA had moved.
The best person to coax Xie Qingcheng to live well is not her anymore, but Ya Ya. Xie Qingcheng's father was a male. Seeing the child who was trying to throw him in his arms, although there was no expression on his face, he liked it very much in his heart. He was used to taking care of people and taking care of children, not to mention Ya Ya still looked like Xie Xue when he was a child. When he looked at her, he had the illusion of holding his sister and expecting her to grow up.
Seeing the situation, Xie Xue struck while the iron was hot, and shoved Ya Ya into Xie Qingcheng's arms.
Xie Qing was caught off guard, but he immediately hugged the child reflexively, in a posture that was more standard than that of the child's mother: "What are you doing..."
"Uncle!" Before Xie Qingcheng could stare at Xie Xue, Ya Ya was so happy that she raised her pink and tender hands like a lotus root, and wrapped her arms around Xie Qingcheng's neck. The soft and warm little guy was lying in his arms. Inside, so delicate, as if she would melt with a little force. Xie Qingcheng's sharp eyebrows softened naturally.
Xie Qingcheng bowed his head and replied, "Yes."
A child can feel whether there is that kind of reassurance in a person, Ya Ya just leaned into Xie Qingcheng's arms, and she was so happy, she swayed her hands in his arms. , suddenly pouted, and kissed Xie Qing's slightly cool cheek.
"Pull..."
Xie Qingcheng: "…"
Xie Xue looked at him expectantly.
Xie Qingcheng sighed and loosened his black trench coat, which contained a simple white shirt. He pulled the child into his coat and let the little guy lean against his chest: "It's so cold, just give it to her. Wearing that little, how did you become a mother? And you."
He glanced at Wei Dongheng: "When you hold the child, hold the cervical spine, do you know?"
Ya Ya couldn't understand it, but she could feel the embarrassment of her parents. She thought it was funny. She laughed and murmured in Xie Qingcheng's arms.
Aunt Li laughed next to her: "I suddenly thought of Xiao Xie's time when you brought Xiao Xue."
Xie Qingcheng coughed lightly, and then said, "It's been a year, so don't mention it.... Go home."
In the next few days, the official/official gave Xie Qingcheng some time to rest and did not bother him. But Xie Qingcheng didn't rest too comfortably, the problem was Ya Ya.
Although he is a father and apathetic, his eyes are full of natural sharpness and frost, but the child likes him very much, and can't wait for him to hold him 24 hours a day. , With my uncle, I don't even need my mother, let alone my father Wei Dongheng.
Wei Dongheng was puzzled: "Where am I worse than your brother? Why does the child only want him and not me?"
Xie Xue was also at a loss: "You ask me who I ask, and she doesn't want me. I saw my brother was too tired to hold her in the morning, and I wanted to take her over and said that my mother was holding her, but she cried and kept going to my brother. Lai Lai in the arms, said he wanted uncle, not mother."
"... Your brother doesn't even have milk for her. Your brother is a pure-blooded man, and he has no maternity brilliance. What's going on?"
Aunt Li smiled and said while knitting a sweater: "This is probably the sense of security that human cubs instinctively feel. He is indeed much more reliable than the two of you."
Xie Xue: "..."
Wei Dongheng: "..."
After Aunt Li finished speaking, she sighed very much. She looked at Xie Qingcheng who was holding the child by the window in the distance. Ya Ya was sleeping soundly in his arms. Xie Qingcheng seemed to be very tired, but he still did not let her go. Sitting in the Windsor chair in the sun room, hugging the little guy and closing his eyes for a while, and at the same time allowing Ya Ya, who was leaning against him, to bask in the sun. Words that can't enter a family can all live on this man holding a baby.
Aunt Li's eyes darkened: "It's a pity that he doesn't have his own children, otherwise he might not be so depressed..."
Xie Qingcheng in the sun was very peaceful, and when he was with Ya Ya, he finally showed a calm and gentleness that he had not experienced in the past three years.
.
A week after Xie Qingcheng returned to Shanghai, Chen Man finally finished his task and came to ask him to meet.
He has been in Guangzhou for two years and has grown a lot. Now he has been transferred back to Shanghai and joined the criminal investigation team where his eldest brother used to work. Like Zheng Jingfeng, he is now a criminal police officer involved in Duan Wen's case. The task force dealing with Duan Wen's case was too large to be named "a certain task force".
They continued to use the mission code name when they defeated Lu Zhishu, called "Dream Breakers".
Duan Wen's organization was named "Mandela", which stands for "fantasy", "nothingness", "fanatical belief", and the square organization has become a sword to break this fantasy, which is very appropriate.
Chen Slow is naturally the main member of "Dream Breakers".
He hadn't seen each other for such a long time. When Xie Qingcheng saw him in the agreed cafe, he was slightly startled - Chen slow tanned a little, and there was a not too obvious scar on his face. His police rank has also changed, but what has become the most powerful is the young man's temperament.
In the past, Chen Gan always seemed to have a kind of student spirit. Although he was a policeman, his eyes were still immature and youthful. Now he is very manly, and there is even a sharp light in his eyes.
But when his eyes met Xie Qingcheng's face, those eyes softened again.
"Brother Xie." Chen slow said, "Long time no see."
Xie Qingcheng: "Sit down."
Chen slow sat down opposite him.
According to medical advice, Xie Qingcheng hardly used a personal mobile phone when he was recuperating in the United States. He occasionally went to the computer room to surf the Internet and video with his family, or simply contacted by phone. Therefore, Chen Man basically asked about Xie Qingcheng's situation from Xie Xue's side. This was the first time he saw Xie Qingcheng's face in three years.
Officer Chen stared at Xie Qingcheng for a while, and then said, "Are you... all right?"
Xie Qingcheng nodded: "How about you?"
Chen slow: "It can't be good or bad. If Duan Wen can't be caught in one day, we will feel uneasy for a day. The past three years have been spent fighting with him, but he is so cunning, and he never stepped into it again. After crossing the border, many things are left to others to do. Those people have no criminal record, and it is even difficult to obtain evidence whether they have contact with Duan Wen. Fifty-seven... still failed to close the case, but instead let him do the thing about the delivery of counterfeit drugs."
He said and sighed: "Sometimes I feel that the naval battle was just an accident that happened yesterday. When I devoted myself to this case, time really passed quickly."
Xie Qing said: "I can see that you have changed a lot and have grown a lot."
Chen looked at him slowly for a while: "...but some things haven't changed."
Xie Qingcheng understood what he meant, so Xie Qingcheng said, "Then, so do I."
"..." Chen slow's eyes dimmed slightly.
In the past two or three years, he has never let go of Xie Qingcheng. He still likes him very much, even though Xie Qingcheng is blind, exhausted, and not as handsome as before... He knows all these things, he sees them all, He also knew very well that Xie Qingcheng became like this because of another man, but he still liked him.
But it is a little fortunate that in such a long day and night rotation, Chen Wan's mentality has been much better than that of the year. .
Chen slow is a normal person.
A normal person will have a deep reluctance to part with a relationship, be persistent, and have difficulty in peace.
But he was able to come out slowly.
No one would be like He Yu in the past, who would want nothing in order to get a person, and burn up his life for the sake of a relationship, and his obsessions would go deep into the bone marrow and be intertwined with his soul.
No one is terminally ill, no one is like him anymore.
Chen slow was dejected for a long time, regained his energy, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Then let's not talk about this for now, I want to talk to you about business."
"Go ahead."
Chen Wan told Xie Qingcheng about the current domestic spread of Obedience No. 2.
"Our preliminary statistics show that there are at least more than 300 victims, but only less than half of them are self-reported. They are cancer patients themselves. Many people have little time left. They feel fear in their hearts and do not want to be detained in a mental hospital. Isolation and losing the last time with my family is something we can all understand.”
After a pause, he continued: "But if they are allowed to continue like this, there will continue to be cases of people who obey No. 2 suddenly going crazy and hurting people, which will only increase everyone's fear of such people, and even lead people to directly Start discriminating against leukemia patients because the masses are blind and easily incited, and they will automatically associate this disease with 'Obey No. 2'... This is the result that none of us want to see."
Xie Qingcheng frowned, that was indeed the case.
Once this fear spreads to a certain extent in society, extreme fanatics will inevitably be born, and the typical manifestation of fanatics is internal morbid solidarity and external demonization of imaginary enemies. Like Nazis, they don't think, lack reason, believe in their own ideas like religions, and keep making up rumors and grandstanding, aiming to exaggerate the contradictions, and then coerce more people into this group... If If the problem of obedience No. 2 is not resolved as soon as possible, these fanatics will do all kinds of evil in the name of "protecting social stability". They are far more terrifying than the victims of obedience No. 2, and the harm they will cause to society will be immeasurable.
"We need to develop a therapeutic medicine that obeys No. 2 as quickly as possible, and every day we can save is very important, so the Dream Breaker Organization will ask you to return home to help. If you want, I will I will take you to enter our organization's biometric system in these two days, and you can use all the laboratories and experimental devices at will."
Chen slow said, took out an emerald green cowhide envelope bag with a coat of arms on it.
"This is the invitation letter that my boss asked me to give you. It also contains the contact information of important contacts in all departments of the Dreambreaker Organization."
Xie Qingcheng took it, opened it, and saw many familiar names, from Chen Wan to Zheng Jingfeng, and the dean...
"Duan Wen's power is now more and more terrifying. After Wei Rong's death, his organization in the inland changed blood, and the whole card was reshuffled. It has been difficult for us to grasp which companies are now cooperating with him. But what is certain is that his Mandela organization now has a new high-level leader, that person is particularly powerful, and he has fully grasped the stable situation that Wei Rong and Huang Zhilong were able to achieve."
Xie Qingcheng listened, frowned and raised his eyes: "Who is it?"
"At present, only his code name is known, which was obtained from an intercepted message, called Devil."
"foreigner?"
"From the perspective of various behaviors, it should be a Chinese. Devil began to handle all domestic business for Duan Wen some time ago, but he never showed up. It is said that this person does not have any black background, and his cooperation with Duan Wen is also in the Established in Australia, Australia does not even have extradition clauses for China, let alone cross-border investigations, so even if we know that he is Duan Wen's minion, we can't characterize him as Duan Wen's accomplice. It belongs to everyone. You know, but because there is no evidence, the kind of person who can only stare."
Xie Qingcheng pondered after listening, "He is very capable."
Chen slow nodded: "But Devil seems to have completed all the things he must do to maintain a mysterious identity, and then he plans to return to China as an open identity. He can step into the country in a grand manner, and even look like an excellent returning entrepreneur. We will focus on him next - he dares to turn his hidden card into an open card, which means that he has done a good job. Prepare. But no matter how tight it is, I believe that he will have flaws after a long time."
Xie Qingcheng: "When does this person plan to enter the country?"
"Next week," Chen Man said, "he sent an invitation and invited a lot of entrepreneurs to hold a banquet in the clubhouse he invested in. I will also go, as a police officer on a routine basis. If I get any match at his banquet Obey the news related to No. 2, and I will tell you immediately."
Xie Qingcheng nodded: "Pay attention to safety."
"It doesn't matter, he doesn't dare to act rashly. He knows that he has just returned to China, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at him." Chen said slowly, "But I will pay attention."
The tea was finished, and the residual heat in the cup curled up.
Xie Qingcheng and Chen slow finished talking about everything, Xie Xue just called and asked when Xie Qingcheng would go home, Ya Ya refused to sleep without her uncle coaxing her.
Xie Qingcheng: "…"
Chen slow: "Brother, let me take you back."
Xie Qingcheng paused for a moment and said, "No need, I'll take a taxi, you can rest early."
On the way home from the cafe, Xie Qingcheng thought about what Chen Shan said, and he felt a sense of hatred and unease in his heart—two years later, Duan Wen regrouped, not only did he fail to fight the law, but also recruited troops, and he did not know where to find it. With such a powerful person here, it is very important to fight with the Dreambreaker Organization to the end.
That Devil...
Xie Qingcheng didn't know why, thinking of this name, a secret string in his heart suddenly trembled, and even his temples throbbed slightly.
What kind of person is the Devil that the Dreambreakers are going to confront next
The answer was revealed a week later.
"Breaking news! BREAKING NEWS!...Returning from Australia...His first appearance...coming soon..."
On the weekend night, when Xie Qingcheng finished comparing the test materials in his hand at home, and got up to make a cup of hot ginger tea at the tea table, such a sound came from the TV in the house intermittently.
He was just resting, drinking ginger tea and returning to the TV, ready to change the channel.
However, before he pressed his finger on the button, he realized that this station was broadcasting news from the Shanghai business community in real time—the Devil's return to China.
The reporter who was waiting at the airport holding the microphone was shocked, not only him, but all the people who saw Devil's face for the first time were stunned and boiled.
It was as if time had flown backwards, Xie Qingcheng's hand trembled violently, the tea cup fell to the ground, and the half-hot tea splashed on his front. The dim light of the screen reflected on his instantly pale and bloodless face.
The camera was switched, pushed closer, accompanied by dazzling flashing lights, and the reporters who had recovered from their revival shouted fiercely... Xie Qingcheng saw the figure on TV that had never appeared in his dreams over the years—
A tall young man came out of the customs, dressed in a lead-silver suit with a tie of the same color, and a simple plain white shirt of high-definition. He looked a little more mature and handsome than he had been before the naval battle, and he was unscathed, suave and impeccable. When the camera was completely pushed towards his face, he gave the camera a mechanical smile, his apricot eyes raised, but there was no real smile in them.
This person turned out to be-
He Yu! !
There was a buzzing sound in Xie Qingcheng's head, as if he was hit by the waves of Wan Jun, and his consciousness was completely blank...
