gulped down two large mouthfuls of chilled Baijiu, laughing. 。Xu Lingwei walked over lightly, took the water cup from Xiang Tian's hand, and smiled with her teeth showing: "Okay, you're tired too, g...The man who opened the door was about fifty years old, with a strong build, thick eyebrows and big eyes, his gaze sharp and piercing.

Before coming face to face, I had looked up Du Yunwu's information online and seen his photos, so I recognized the man in front of me right away. 。He smiled and said, "Hello, you must be Uncle Du, my name is Xiang Tian, I came from Chunjiang." 。The burly man was indeed Du Yunwu. He sized up Xiangtian, noticing the wine and cigarettes he held, his brows furrowed slightly. However, he still politely invited Xiangtian into the house. 。 The house wasn't big, just three rooms and two halls. After the two of them sat down on the sofa separately, Du Yunwu asked about Chun Jiang's situation and answered Tian one by one. 。Du Yunwu comes from Chunjiang and has feelings for his hometown. Also, yesterday Du Yunwen called him and mentioned that he would come to see him at Xiangtian. 。So, Du Yunwu was still polite to Xiang Tian. Otherwise, if someone else had brought something to his house, he wouldn't even let them in the door. 。He was just that kind of person, principled and disciplined. He never crossed the line, and when it came to work, he was utterly impartial; no amount of pleading would sway him. 。So Du Yunwen was very embarrassed when he faced Tiān yesterday. After Tiān left, he called Du Yunwu and repeatedly urged him to help as much as possible. 。After chatting about daily life and casual topics, they turned to the main point and discussed Xie Jiaming's matter. 。"Uncle Du, Mayor Xie is an honest person, I understand that, and I hope you can—" He didn't get to finish his sentence before Du Yunwu raised his hand to interrupt him. 。"Xiao Xiang, I'll be honest with you. I'm a cadre from Chunjiang. According to organizational principles, I can't touch this case. " 。But you don't have to worry, as long as he is innocent, no matter how much they investigate, nothing will happen. You have to trust the organization. 。”

Before coming to Heaven, I had also thought about encountering setbacks, but I didn't expect that Du Yunwu would refuse so bluntly. At that moment, even the idea of asking him for help disappeared. He politely declined Du Yunwu's invitation to have lunch with him and left Du's house listlessly. >>> 。Before leaving, Du Yunwu shoved the cigarettes and alcohol into Xiang Tian's hands, saying that he didn't drink or smoke, so there was no point in him bringing them along. 。Hearing the sound of the door closing behind him, he smiled wryly and shook his head. Well, this was a waste trip. 。Leaving the government compound, he was truly disheartened. He had planned to return directly to Chunjiang, but thinking of that couple, he found a cafe and sat down instead. 。On the bustling street, people came and went, cars flowed like rivers, showing the unique prosperity and excitement of the capital city. However, looking up at the sky, he frowned, with not a shred of happiness in his heart. 。By late afternoon, around 4:00 pm, Xiangtian was strolling down the street when his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. 。"Little Master, where are you" It was a woman's voice, calling out to the heavens. It belonged to that man's wife. 。But her voice sounded very anxious, did something else happen

Towards the sky quickly asked the passers-by around him, got the accurate address after telling that woman 。That woman hung up the phone without a word, and less than twenty minutes later, a black Hongqi limousine pulled up beside Xiangtian. 。The woman hurriedly got out of the car, grabbed Xiangtian's arm and pulled him towards the car: "Master, hurry up, if we're late, my husband will be beaten to death." 。 “ After getting into the car, he looked up at the driver in surprise and asked, "Was someone beating him up Why didn't they call the police" The driver quickly turned the car around and sped back along the original route. 。The woman had just run a while, panting heavily, with a flush that wouldn't fade from her cheeks. 。Toward the sky nodded silently, unlike when she had met him this morning, the lingering resentment between her brows and eyes had completely vanished. 。It seems he was right. The couple took advantage of the situation and had a good time, which benefited both of them with the dragon's energy. If they got the timing right, perhaps they could plant the Jade Seed today. 。The woman gave a sheepish smile and said, "I can't call the police. The one who beat him wasn't someone else, it was my grandfather at home. He's over eighty years old and has a terrible temper." 。Her words astonished Xiang Tian even more. 。Next, the woman briefly explained the situation to him. 。Originally, her name was Tian Lan, 38 years old. Her husband's name was He Liguo, 42 years old. The two had been married for over ten years and never had children. 。The grandfather recently forced them to divorce and asked He Liguó to remarry. 。They were cornered, with no other options, and unwilling to separate. In the end, they decided to die together. 。Toward the sky, I can't help but laugh and cry. The old man has a bad temper, that's fine. But Tian Lan and her husband treat their lives as child's play, constantly walking toward the brink of despair. It's really speechless. 。"Field Sister, I'm not saying you guys are doing something wrong, but in the future please try not to be so impulsive." 。It's better to be alive than dead, no matter what, I can't go down that road. 。" A hint of embarrassment flashed across Tian Lan's face as she said, "Master Xiang, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, we really would have—" "Heh heh, don't call me Master Xiang. Just call me Xiao Xiang or Xiangtian." 。Although she cried and acted weak this morning, Tianlan actually has a straightforward personality. She quickly became close with Xiangtian in just a few words, and was grateful for his help to her and her husband. She even boldly suggested making him her younger brother. 。Towards Heaven also liked her personality and laughed, "Then I'll take advantage of it. I'll have an older sister to care for me from now on." 。"

Tian Lan covered her mouth and laughed nonstop. She also quite liked Xiangtian's carefree personality. Looking into his eyes, she immediately felt a bit closer to him >>> 。 A red flag car soon arrived at the door of a quadrangle courtyard. As soon as they got out of the car, they heard a roar from inside the courtyard: “Are you leaving or not” Soon after, there was a sound of "pa", like a wooden board hitting someone. 。Tian Lan's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly ran into the door. 。

Toward the sky, he went in and looked around. The Siheyuan courtyard was very clean. There was a big tree in the southeast corner, but now it only had bare branches. Under the tree was a stone table and stone bench, which looked quite comfortable.

In the middle of the yard, He Liguó lay on a stool, an old man wielding a wooden plank was beating his buttocks with force, the sound "pa pa" echoing. With every hit, He Liguó would flinch and tremble. 。Tian Lan saw this and tears immediately streamed down her face. She quickly ran over and threw herself on He Ligu's body, crying out: "Grandpa, if you want to hit someone, hit me! It's my fault that I'm useless. Just kill me!" 。 The old man saw her coming, but he didn't hit her with the board he had raised. He threw it aside and panted as he took a tea bowl from a young man beside him and drank two large gulps. 。“I tell you, no matter how much you make a fuss, you must leave” 。Our old Ho family cannot be extinct, otherwise, even if I die, I won't be able to close my eyes. 。“Grandpa, Li Guo’s illness is gone now, and we’ll soon have a child,” Tian Lan cried out. 。" Nonsense, what illness could he possibly have Don't think I'm senile!" The old man's anger was truly formidable, his roar shaking the heavens and earth, it was probably audible for miles around. 。Towards the sky, he felt that the old man's back looked a little familiar. Just as he was about to walk over and take a closer look, the old man heard the noise and turned his head, just in time to see him. 。"Aha, good boy, you can't run away now!" Seeing Xiangtian, the old man's eyes lit up instantly. He walked over and grabbed his arm, his big hand like an iron clamp. 。It's not someone else, it's the old man who caught the thief this morning. 。 sound of gunfire, silence returned to the cave. After a moment, with a "pop," a light appeared in the cave. 。Hiding behind the rocks, all he could hear was the sound of footsteps moving slowly and c...
