Chapter 57: Lit lead

Views:

Before Han Yue knew about this matter, it was just an undercurrent turbulent and ready to move. After Han Yue learned about it, he immediately ignited a cannonball.

Hou Hongchang's family and the commander's wife learned the news that Chu Ci was kidnapped from the ward by Han Yue almost at the same time. The commander's wife is really angry now, and she is going to drive Han Yue to question Han Yue immediately.

Who knew that before going out, Old Commander Han suddenly received a call from Pei Zhi, and he didn't know what he said, but the more he listened, the more ugly Old Commander Han's face became, and he immediately stopped the Commander's wife from going out after hanging up the phone.

At that time, Hou Hongchang's mother had already rushed to Han's house, ready to go out with the commander's wife to find Han Yue. Old Commander Han dragged the Commander's wife to the study and closed the door, and said sharply, "If you hang out with the Hou family again, let alone your son's revenge, we'll all be in your pocket!"

After all, Old Commander Han has been in the military all his life, and his temper was particularly violent when he was young, so his threat is very deterrent. The commander's wife was shocked, and her aura suddenly dropped a lot: "What do you mean getting in? What did I do to get our family in?"

"You still have the nerve to say it! I told you two years ago to stay away from Hou Hongchang's family. Their family is high-profile and doesn't know how to restrain themselves. Sooner or later, something will happen! As a result, you ignored my words and kept doing things with their family. You think I don’t even know about the messy things that don’t come to the table, right? You said that we are all so old, we’ve fought bloody battles in this life, why do people with half their necks buried in loess want so much money?! What? It’s hard to guarantee the late festival, and it’s you! If you want to be infamous for the rest of your life after being buried, that’s fine, you can do it with the Hou family! Don’t implicate me that I won’t be able to cover the national flag after I die!”

This has been said very seriously. The commander's wife wanted to yell and scold several times, but was suppressed by Han's stern voice. In the end, she could only force herself to defend: "I'm not for our family..."

"You don't need to worry about our family! Just take care of yourself!" Old Commander Han slammed the table angrily, pointed to the commander's wife's nose and said, "The collapse of the Hou family will happen within a month or two." It's over, if you want to fall with them, then just go! If you still want to save yourself some face, stop meddling with them to make things difficult for your son!"

The commander's wife was taken aback. Before she could react, she heard a loud bang. Old Commander Han slammed the door angrily and left.

Han Yue didn't know about this episode that happened in Han's house. In order to prevent the commander's wife from coming to make trouble, he specially mobilized his confidants to guard the downstairs of his house, and immediately went up to notify him if there was any trouble.

For a while, the situation was extremely tense, and it was almost on the verge of breaking out.

When sending Ren Jiayuan away that night, Han Yue went back to the bedroom and found that Chu Ci was already awake.

His appearance was paler and more haggard than two years ago, and there was a faint look of ashes and death covering his face, which made people feel very frightened. Because the room was relatively dark, the way he lay motionless on the bed gave Han Yue an ominous illusion for a while, but then he discovered that Chu Ci was actually still alive, because his eyes were open, and his eyes were very clear and peaceful. It can be called very divine.

After so many things, Han Yue's heart, which was almost paralyzed by the pain, suddenly eased, like a warm stream of heat suddenly poured on him in a cold winter night.

The nervous nerves couldn't be stretched immediately, and he almost wanted to kneel down at that moment, and even wanted to cry. That feeling was a mixture of joy and sorrow, as if a glimmer of illusory hope had suddenly ushered in when he knew he was in a desperate situation.

Chu Ci moved his eyes, looked at Han Yue, and smiled slightly.

At that time, Han Yue was so impulsive that he wanted to shake his hand, but then he held back, stood by the bed and stared at him condescendingly, and asked coldly, "What else do you want to say?"

Chu Ci looked into Han Yue's eyes, whether it was because of the light or an illusion, his eyes were very peaceful and soft, and he even felt a little nostalgic. The two of them just stared at each other for a long time without moving, and suddenly there was only a soft sound, as if Chu Ci sighed slightly, and said, "Han Yue, I have been waiting, to see you again for the last time in this life... "

With such a simple sentence, Han Yue's complexion changed at that time, and his throat was so blocked that he could hardly make a sound.

Why didn't you come back sooner

You clearly know that I want to protect you so much, why did you leave without looking back

How many crimes have you suffered in the past two years, how many difficulties have you encountered, have you ever thought that I will stay in Beijing day by day, counting the days waiting for you to come back

"I have no relatives in this world, and most of my friends are casual acquaintances. If I die, there will probably be more happy people than sad people." Chu Ci paused here, probably thinking of Hou Hongchang Their family said slowly again: "You really should have let me die in the hospital. You brought me back now because you were angry and unwilling. You will regret it later."

"... none of your business." Han Yue's voice trembled violently, and he sounded a little embarrassed, "I regret it or not, it has nothing to do with you... nothing at all!"

Chu Ci sighed, and murmured: "You should take me back to the hospital, I won't live long."

After he finished this sentence, he was already very exhausted and closed his eyes again.

Han Yue stood beside his bed for a while, silently staring at his thin and pale profile, as if time had suddenly frozen at this moment. This dark and warm bedroom shuts off the world, becoming a floating presence out of time and space, with nothing but the silent gaze of the moment.

I don't know how long it has been, Chu Ci's gentle breathing resounded, obviously already fast asleep. He is in a very bad spirit now, not so much sleeping as in a coma.

Han Yue exited the bedroom almost silently, and gently closed the door.

At this moment, he was actually very confused and didn't know what to do. Two years ago, he imagined countless times what he would do if he found Chu Ci, how to vent his monstrous anger, and how to express his deep-seated miss. He organized countless speeches to let Chu Ci know how frightened he was and how hard he was suffering, but when Chu Ci really fell into his hands, he couldn't say a word.

Only one thought clearly existed in his mind.

—Chu Ci cannot be allowed to go to the execution ground.

Even if he wants to leave this world, he cannot be charged as a robber and sent to the execution ground to end his life with a single bullet.

Holding the mobile phone, Han Yue walked around the study twice like a trapped animal, and finally made up his mind to dial Hou Yu's number.

It was a bit late at this time, Hou Yu was probably eating, and was a little surprised when he received the call, and asked, "Han Er?"

"Hey, it's me. I have something to ask you." Han Yue took a breath and said in a deep voice, "Since you plan to deal with your uncle and aunt's family, you must at least have something to do with it? Bribery, bribery, corruption, No matter what the evidence is, you have to have something in hand, right? I can't, I can't go to the gate of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to write a blood book and kneel on the nail board, don't you think?"

Hou Yu is not stupid, her voice changed immediately: "How do you know that I want to..."

"Chu Ci is with me."

"...What about Pei Zhi?"

Han Yue didn't speak.

There was an oppressive silence on both ends of the phone, and it took several seconds before Hou Yu let out a sharp breath and said, "I knew... well, who told you to mix in the army, you have real power. But you know this matter as soon as you know it." I know, but don’t turn around and sell me. To be honest, I’m a little afraid of people like your mother. If you tell her about me, she will definitely tell my uncle and aunt. There is no good fruit to eat."

Han Yue said sharply: "I told her out of my mind! Hou Yu, let me tell you, even if you go back and stand on the same front with Hou Hongchang and his parents, I will force you to spit out the evidence of their family's crimes." come out!"

Hou Yu was taken aback: "You want to deal with Hou Hongchang's family?"

"nonsense!"

"You, you, aren't you afraid that Mrs. Commander will sever the mother-child relationship with you? Damn, you dare to turn against your family because of that engineer?"

The phone was silent for a few seconds, and then Han Yue's voice sounded, very calm and powerful: "I dare."

Hou Yu was so shocked that he was quiet for a while, then sighed and shook his head again and again, and sighed: "It's really like the first time I met you today, Han Er, the first time I met you... Well, since you are willing to be this early bird, Then I have no reason to stop you. After all, Pei Zhi is a businessman, and his family has gradually changed from government to business. Some things are indeed not as hard as your backer. Well, I do have some materials about Hou Hongchang and his family , you take some time to come out, and I will give it to you face to face."

Chu Ci didn't know how much time was left, Han Yue didn't dare to procrastinate, and immediately set the next day. Hou Yu also had no objection, and hung up the phone after repeatedly telling her to keep it secret.

In fact, Han Yue was very anxious. If possible, he really wanted to get those materials tonight. The earlier he got the materials, the more confidence he would have to fight against Hou Hongchang's family and the commander's wife.

However, at night, Chu Ci cannot be short of people. Han Yue must be by his side at all times, and if there is any emergency, he will immediately call the doctor to deal with it.

Han Yue didn't close his eyes that night. In the hazy early morning, he lay down beside Chu Ci's bed, held Chu Ci's hand, and was a little dazed for dozens of minutes.

In fact, this rest time is enough for Han Yue. After all, he has been in the field army for more than ten years, and it is common for him to stay up for three days and three nights when performing missions. Sometimes in ambushes, tens of hours of high concentration, the body is exhausted when leaving the battlefield, and can sleep for two days without eating or drinking.

It's also thanks to his system that he can survive, while supporting Chu Ci, he is busy dealing with the pressure from the family. If it were an ordinary person, under the torment of this hopeless situation, he might have already collapsed due to a nervous breakdown.

He made an appointment with Hou Yu very early, and the two met at the Xijing Tea House almost early in the morning. Hou Yu used a large EMS airmail envelope to seal an inch-thick material, almost all kinds of receipts and letters. Han Yue flipped through it slightly, shook his head and said, "You are really cruel, this will make your uncle My aunt went in and squatted for several years."

Hou Yu lit a cigarette and asked, "Can I be cruel to you?" Then he was silent for a while, and then explained: "As long as my old man still has status, they won't suffer much even if they go in. Now they are in prison. It's too tricky, isn't there some people who squat the prison like a hotel? But if they continue to mess around, our old man will be taken in by them one day, and the hard work of his life will be over. "

He glanced at Han Yue sideways, and said with a smile: "It's you, I can't fucking imagine that you can fight your mother for that engineer. Although your mother is really not good to you, at least the mother-child status is still there." , you are so rebellious, aren't you afraid of angering Commander Han?"

Han Yue shook his head: "My dad is clear-headed."

He held the envelope in his arms, and was about to get up and leave, when he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how much do you know about the replacement at the Ninth Office? The one who forced Chu Ci to go to Beijing..."

"You don't have to worry about that man, how long can a grasshopper jump after autumn?" Hou Yu sneered, as if very disdainful: "Even if he climbs up to the Hou family, he can't replace Long Jiwei, unless he waits for the next life. Are you kidding?" , Long Jiwei has such a strong background! That XXX only ordered to protect him two days ago... "

Han Yue said a few words, and wanted to leave in a hurry. Who knew that after two steps, a flash of lightning suddenly struck in his mind, causing him to stop abruptly: "Wait, who did you say was going to order Baolong Jiwei?"

Hou Yu was puzzled, and repeated the name again: "You are stupid, Han Er, the immediate boss of the Military Commission. Didn't he get brain cancer from the internal news back then, and he forced Long Jiwei to wake up because of this matter? I don’t know how Long Jiwei managed it, but he’s been able to live until now... A few days ago, he came out to preside over the work, alas, he looks like that, he’s really old... "

As if he had suddenly found a chance of life in a desperate situation, Han Yue's heart almost reached his throat, and he was about to pop out when he opened his mouth.

The leader of the Military Commission, with advanced brain cancer, Long Jiwei...

Hou Yu was talking blah blah blah, when suddenly he saw Han Yue's expression was wrong, and he was startled: "Hey Han Er! What's wrong with you, Han Er?"

Han Yue trembled, his voice was a bit wrong: "Long Jiwei is still asleep?"

Hou Yu was taken aback: "It's said that he hasn't woken up yet, why, what's wrong?"

"Where is he and the old dragon, Beijing or Qinghai?!"

"Beijing, the laboratory of the Ninth Research Institute... Hey, why are you asking this? Where are you going?"

Han Yue rushed out the door in one stride, his speed was as fast as rushing to put out a fire. Hou Yu followed and ran out of the box, only to see his shadow swaying in the corridor, and then ran downstairs.

"Hey Han Er! Where are you going!" Hou Yu was in a hurry, throwing himself on the handrail of the stairs and yelling, "You will be shot for trespassing on the nine restricted areas, don't act recklessly!... Oh, fuck me!"

Hou Yu was furious, and punched the armrest hard: "Couldn't he have gone to find Long Jiwei? Fuck it, he's really going to be shot!"
