The nurse recognized Cheng Jiu and said, "You must be a subordinate of Director Meng, right?" The surname is Cheng, right?
They were injured and were all sent to the jun District Hospital. Over time, they became familiar faces of the nurses.
The patient won't wake up so soon. Why don't you come back later?
Cheng Jiu said "Thank you" and then left the hospital.
Jiang Tang woke up not long after he left. As soon as she woke up, she was crying. Her consciousness became much clearer. Recalling what had happened in those days, it was obvious that she had been treated inhumanely; otherwise, she wouldn't have suffered such injuries.
When the nurse came to check on her, seeing that she was awake, she went up and asked a few questions.
Is there anything that makes you feel uncomfortable?
Jiang Tang's eyes turned red from crying as she said lightly, "I don't want to live anymore. Why did you save me? I don't want to live anymore."
How could we not save you? Saving lives and healing the wounded is our duty. Don't think too much. Have a good rest and get well soon.
How can I get better when I'm like this? I have already...
You should think about your family. If anything happens to you, it will always be your family that is sad and heartbroken.
Jiang Tang closed her eyes in despair.
The nurse couldn't bear it and said, "Don't think too much. Take care of yourself now. If you feel unwell, come to me anytime."
When the nurse reached the door of the ward, Jiang Tang asked again, "Did anyone come to see me when I was asleep?"
"Yes, Chief Meng has been here too, and there's also a gentleman surnamed Cheng."
Jiang Tang: "Did he say anything?"
"Do you mean Director Meng or not?" "
The latter.
"I said nothing. I saw you fall asleep and then left." "
So Cheng Jiu didn't stay for long before leaving, not even waiting for her to wake up safely.
If it were Xin Gan who had such a thing happened, would he still be so calm?
Jiang Tang, brimming with hatred, clutched the bedsheet, her face full of unwillingness. She was unwilling to lose like this, even without much effort from Xin Gan, she had lost completely.
...
Cheng Jiu was near the hospital and hadn't gone anywhere. Meng Chanchang called again and told him that Jiang Tang had woken up and she wanted to see him.
Considering that he was already married at this time and was planning to hold his wedding at the end of the year, it wouldn't be good if Jiang Tang's matter affected his personal affairs. So, Director Meng said, "But if you really don't want to go, it's fine if you don't."
In the end, Cheng Jiu still made a trip. He went to the hospital and saw Jiang Tang awake.
Jiang Yang is also here at this moment, comforting Jiang Tang in the ward.
Cheng Jiu stood at the door of the ward, knocked on it and received a response from the person inside. Only then did he push the door open and go in.
Jiang Tang saw him, biting her lip, with tears welling up around her eyes, unable to speak for a long time.
Jiang Yang stood up and offered his seat, saying, "Brother Jiu, sit down."
Cheng Jiu said, "No need. Sit down. I'll leave after a while."
Jiang Tang's eyes flickered slightly, and she felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart.
Jiang Yang said, "There should be nothing else in the team. Brother Jiu, just spend more time with her. She needs you right now."
Cheng Jiu glanced over with a meaningful look.
Jiang Yang immediately fell silent and said no more.
Jiang Tang was still biting her lip and said, "Cheng Jiu, don't take it to heart. Jiang Yang was also too nervous about me and said the wrong thing. That's not what he meant."
Cheng Jiu hummed in response, walked to the window, leaned against it and stood there, looking at her from afar and asked, "Have your injuries healed?"
"Much better." She said.
It's good that you feel much better. If you need anything, you can tell Jiang Yang. Anyone in the team who can help you will definitely do so and won't stand by idly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tang looked up and asked him, "What about you?"
Cheng Jiu retorted, "What am I?"
Then could you keep me company? Just stay for a while and keep me company.
Jiang Yang left the ward at some point, moving silently.
There were only the two of them left in the ward.
Cheng Jiu remained unmoved, as if his attention was not on her at all.
The eyes were cold and indifferent, ignoring all of this.
Cheng Jiu had someone investigate what had happened during the five days of her disappearance, but the situation he learned was not very optimistic. Among the subordinates of Yu Tou, there was one named Ji Bai, who was extremely cunning. He was from the south. When he was thirteen, his parents divorced. Since childhood, he had been following his uncle, who was a black she worker, to deceive and cheat everywhere. Eventually, he came to the North Island and hung out with Yu Tou.
Ji Bai was burdened with three lives and was an extremely vicious criminal. He was very smart and had a strong sense of anti-investigation, so he hadn't been caught for such a long time. Every time, he could think of a way to escape.
Jiang Tang was targeted by Ji Bai. That night, she ran out of the team and was abducted by Ji Bai's men on the way, also out of revenge on Cheng Jiu.
It was Cheng Jiu who captured the fish head and brought it to justice.
Ji Bai had fought with Cheng Jiu before and recognized him. He also investigated the people around him, and Jiang Tang was among them.
Jiang Tang was captured by Ji Bai. What would be her fate? There's no need to imagine.
The injuries on her body speak for themselves.
Jiang Tang had also dealt with the case of Yu Tou and had some understanding of Ji Bai. During the five days she was imprisoned, Ji Bai showed up once, personally ordering people to torture her, humiliate her and send her to hell.
Jiang Tang finally came back alive to see Cheng Jiu, but he was still so cold to her. She couldn't help shedding tears and her voice was shaking: "I thought I would never see you again in my life, Cheng Jiu. No matter how cruel you are to me, please don't push me away when I'm in the hardest time, okay?"
I just like you. I haven't made any mistakes. When I met you, I didn't know you had a fiancee. I didn't know...
During the first two days after she woke up, she was on the verge of collapse. Every day, she felt like dying and also wanted to see him. She couldn't control her words and deeds. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would recall those days when she was born worse than dead.
Cheng Jiu had a blank expression. After she finished speaking, he said slowly, "No one wants to see such a thing happen to you. I feel very sorry for you, but Jiang Tang, we are all adults and have to pay the price for our actions. Even if I stay here with you, so what?" This won't change the current situation either. Your occupation is the same as mine, but you're not my subordinate now. I have no right to demand of you. The consolation I can offer you is merely a hope that you'll recover soon.
Apart from this, there can be no more superfluous ones.
Jiang Tang didn't believe he could say such words so ruthlessly. What he meant was that whatever she did had nothing to do with him.
He won't change his opinion of her in any way either.
Jiang Tang was incredulous and lost in thought. She withdrew her gaze and dared not look at him again.
She was afraid that she really couldn't hold on.
As for whether she can get out of it or not, it depends on herself.
Cheng Jiu couldn't help her.
Nor should we, just because of what happened to her, be soft-hearted for a moment, sympathize with her and give her any false impression.
Jiang Yang heard it at the door of the ward. After Cheng Jiu left, he went in, patted Jiang Tang on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, Tangtang."
Jiang Tang, with a look of hatred, said, "I'm not sad. I just want him to pay the price. Since I can't get it, no one else can."
Tangtang, what do you want to do?
Whatever I do, you will help me, right? You will be on my side, won't you?
Jiang Yang's expression was complicated. He knew the inside story, but in the end, he said nothing and nodded.
Yes, no matter what Jiang Tang does, he will stand by her side.
...
After that, Cheng Jiu never went to see Jiang Tang.
Xiao Shi has a mission and won't be in the team at the moment. Meng Canchang, considering that Cheng Jiu had just returned not long ago, temporarily asked him to put aside the case of the fish head. His attitude was firm and cold, leaving no room for comment.
After all, Commander Meng was his superior. He had to obey orders and had no choice but to listen. If anything happened again, he would be transferred away. There was absolutely no room for negotiation.
Cheng Jiu had objections but could only hold them in.
He was not feeling well. His injuries hadn't fully healed yet, so he went into physical training. He spent every day on the training ground, not listening to anyone.
...
Xin Gan, who was far away in Yongcheng, had no idea what had happened to Cheng Jiu during this period. Afraid of disturbing him, she never called him rashly but sent him text messages. She would call him again when he was free.
The number of students recruited by Xin Gan's studio gradually stabilized. After some thought, she hired two part-time tutors. When she couldn't handle it all by herself, the part-time tutors could help share the burden.
Most of the students in the art studio are high school students in their sixties or seventies, and they are all studying art. They are quite particular about their dress and appearance. Especially the female students, they come on Saturdays and Sundays and sometimes put on makeup. At their age, they seem very mature.
Even when Cheng Hui came to the studio and saw that the female classmate was wearing makeup, she sincerely exclaimed that she was even worse than a high school student. She still doesn't know how to wear makeup to this day.
When Xin Gan called Cheng Jiu again, Cheng Jiu was sitting alone on the training ground, looking up at the moonlight without saying a word, quietly listening to her voice on the other end.
She just got home now. It's getting late and she hasn't had dinner yet.
Only then did Cheng Jiu ask her in a low voice, "Haven't eaten yet?"
Xin Gan said, "I forgot to have dinner. There are many students at night and classes are scheduled."
"Take care of yourself. Have meals on time and keep up with your physical condition." "
I'm in good physical condition. It wasn't achieved through eating and exercising.
Very good? Are you sure? Cheng Jiu's voice rose at the end, sounding rather pleasant.
Xin Gan took a slow bite of the cereal and said, "I'm not quite sure..." She withered immediately.
Cheng Jiu chuckled and said, "Work hard and don't let the team down in practice!"
The bitter and sweet taste choked me, and I choked several times, my face turning red.
Cheng Jiu could only chat with her a few words at this moment. He could only hear her voice, couldn't touch her, couldn't hold her, let alone kiss her. He licked the corner of his mouth, and there was an urge in his body.
After a while, Xin Gan's expression returned to normal and she asked him softly, "Where are you?" Are you outside? Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?
Sneak out to smoke. After finishing this, go back.
Don't smoke too much. It's bad for your health.
Worried that I'll let you down?
Xin Gan: "..."
Cheng Jiu shamelessly said, "Don't worry. I can do my best to satisfy you."
Since getting the marriage certificate, Cheng Jiu has been tight-ligued. Gradually, his words have become more and more harsh, and he has been acting like a rogue openly and honorably.
At first, Xin Gan wasn't quite used to it. But later, she gradually let him be, allowing him to satisfy his craving for food without any loss.
Who let her give him legitimate rights?
After chatting for a few more words, Cheng Jiu suppressed his emotions and urged her to take a bath and go to sleep. He also went back.
Xin Gan said okay, said good night to him and hung up the phone.
Cheng Jiu stared at the phone screen for a long time and didn't get up to go back. Instead, he sat by the training ground for another half an hour.
Xin Gan has no idea about all this.
...
Xin Gan ran her own art studio and it was doing very well. She was beautiful, young and talented. Gradually, her reputation spread among her peers, and similar art studios came to her, wanting to discuss cooperation.
The content of the cooperation is nothing more than a merger. But on the surface, it sounds like a merger, but in fact, it's a unilateral acquisition of her studio.
The other party's studio is a national chain brand. It not only teaches painting but also other subjects, making it a comprehensive type.
However, Xin Gan wasn't interested and directly refused.
By chance, Xin Gan saw that the brand ambassador of that national chain was He Cheng.
A huge banner was hung right in the center of the shopping mall, with a photo of He Cheng printed on it. The name of He Cheng was also written in the column for the spokesperson.
It's unknown when it started, but He Cheng began to gain a bit of fame. He became popular even before his official debut.
Xin Gan has completely lost all good feelings towards this chain store.
