"Third Uncle—" Chen Chongzhou pursed his lips, afraid of irritating her, "I need a blood transfusion, I will drive to the hospital."

Shen Zhen knew what a blood transfusion meant, his eyes darkened, and he almost fell down, "Did he get shot?"

"The bullet pierced through the back, and there was a knife wound in the skull. The hospital wanted to make psychological preparations."

She barely held on to the door frame, pulled off her coat to wrap herself, "I'll go too."

Chen Chongzhou didn't want her to face such a scene of life and death, "You are at home, there is news—"

"Don't waste time." She trembled, "I'll definitely go."

Chen Chongzhou couldn't hold back her, so he let her sit in the back seat of the driver's seat, fasten her seat belt, and gallop out of the community.

On the way, Shen Zhen stared at the night scene outside the window with a numb expression. Chen Chongzhou spoke to her, but she did not respond.

"Third Uncle, I will pretend that I don't know you from now on, right?"

Chen Ling flipped through the file, "Yes."

"why?"

"I don't like your croaking, long-winded, and crying."

"Then I won't croak or cry—"

He interrupted impatiently, "You are croaking."

Shen Zhen lowered his head, "Did you hear the rumors?"

Chen Ling paused, but did not respond.

"Rumors say that I am your illegitimate daughter."

He choked, frowning in disbelief.

Shen Zhen held his chin, "They talked behind their backs, I'm young and good-looking, like, third uncle is 40 years old, just gave birth to me."

Chen Ling was silent for a moment, then burst out laughing, "You're talking nonsense."

She also laughed, "Third Uncle, you don't believe me, do you? So you are facing the fearless shadow, let's be honest and frank, and don't care what they arrange."

The man's eyes fell on the file, "What if I'm not frank."

Shen Zhen didn't hear clearly, she strained her ears, "What are you?"

At that time, she broke up with her second child and avoided her first child.

But Chen Ling knew it well, the break would not last long, and it would eventually be repaired.

Even if there was no such day, it would have already been wrong, and it was destined to be an insurmountable taboo.

The face of the second child, the face of the Chen family, and his own face.

Some feelings that have never sprouted, the more they are buried, the more secure they are.

In fact, in early February, before Chen Ling flew to the border, he visited Chen Chongzhou in the detention center and chatted with Shen Zhen.

His trip is full of bad luck, but Shen Zhen is the only one who cares about him.

Chen Chongzhou wore a uniform and lifted the glass window, "Third Uncle, you like Shen Zhen."

He didn't evade, "Which kind of preference do you mean?"

"The love between men and women."

As early as last year, Chen Chongzhou asked him once.

Chen Ling's answer was vague.

Because he did not soberly escape from that vague definition.

He stared at Chen Chongzhou, "It's a complicated liking."

"Suppose there is no existence of me and Chen Yuan."

Chen Ling smiled, "Then it's not complicated."

Feelings mixed with identity, worldliness, and propriety will imprison the whole of this feeling.

To love it is a sudden wildness, to be obsessed with it is an uncontrollable turmoil, and to crush it is a kind of reason for an extremely mature and self-disciplined man to protect a woman.

Never turned the most beautiful and pure things in the world into a catastrophe of love and desire.

At the street intersection waiting for the signal light, Chen Chongzhou stretched his hand behind and stroked her face, which was cold and without warmth.

Shen Zhen came back to his senses, "Is my life important, or the stranger who has never met before?"

"For us, we are the most important. For the third uncle, his belief is the stability of the border, and self-sacrifice for the overall situation." Chen Chongzhou held her hand, "Human nature is different, selfishness is not guilty, selflessness is not guilty .Many family members also retained their lovers, sons, and fathers at first, worrying about their situation. If they were more selfish, they would be safe and sound, and more innocent people would live in dire straits."

Her nasal cavity was sour, "Will the innocent people who have been rescued, after experiencing their own sorrows and joys and separation, always remember him who has never met?"

Chen Chongzhou was startled.

"After decades of vicissitudes, will the dedication of the third uncle be forgotten?"

When the light turned green, the vehicles in the rear row honked their horns quickly. He started the car, bypassed the Huata Lake in the city center, and drove smoothly into the General Hospital.

After Chen Chongzhou settled Shen Zhen, he went straight to the blood draw window, "Chen Ju's family members, draw blood."

The nurse patted his head, "What blood type are you?"

He rolled up his sleeves, "ab."

"Second Young Master?" Zheng Long put down the water bottle at the base of the wall, "You were just in time."

Chen Chongzhou stared at the blood oozing from the needle, "How much worse?"

"At least three bags."

1200cc.

It is equivalent to a quarter, which belongs to excessive blood loss.

But if Chen Ling's willpower is not strong, he can't make it to the present.

"Chen Ju was injured in the past, and he stepped into the gate of hell. This time, most of him stepped in."

Chen Chongzhou's face was solemn and he didn't say a word.

Zheng Long turned around and walked in front of Shen Zhen, "Miss Shen, Bureau Chen ordered a golden lock in Thailand, which is a full moon gift for the child in your womb."

He handed it out with both hands, "The sapphire in the middle was stained with Chen Ju's blood, I didn't wash it off."

Shen Zhen stood there sluggishly, like a static sculpture.

Her eyes were dark and helpless hollows.

Cracks, burst dikes, until flooded.

"The name is Chen Yu."

Her lips twitched, "Chen...Yu?"

The moment he opened his mouth, a tear fell involuntarily.

Zheng Long nodded, "Yes, Chen Yu."

Shen Zhen's hand was in the air, he wanted to catch it, but he retracted it. After struggling for a long time, he broke down and grabbed it.

When touching the lock, there was still the warmth of Chen Ling's blood.

Dry and rotten, piercing to the bone.

She held it firmly in her hand, "Was Uncle Third in pain at that time?"

Zheng Long recalled that scene, "It was very painful. The moment when the frontline undercover sacrificed was an unbearable pain for ordinary people."

Shen Zhen's five fingers squeezed tighter and tighter.

The nurse next to the blood draw port received the order and went to the emergency department to relay the transportation, "The people of the city have supported 600cc, just arrived."

"600cc? Don't you want 1200cc?"

"It's not such a large amount. The city residents still have to keep some for the emergency department. There are too few AB types in the blood bank, and they are all O and B."

"Types a and b can also be used."

"Use it. I lost 300cc. Let's push it for a while."

Chen Chongzhou didn't move after smoking 400cc, "Let's smoke another bag."

The nurse hurriedly ran to the operating room, "I can't smoke—"

At the same time, Chen Yuan talked with the dean of the Beijing circle outside the operating room, "The experts in your hospital will consult overnight, I will charter a special plane, and you will pay for the visit fee."

The dean is in a dilemma, "I'm on hold tonight, and I'll arrive tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. Director Chen, it's not because you don't want to lose face, our hospital's experts are all over the country, and they will be consulted in other provinces."

Nurses came in and out to deliver medicines and plasma, Chen Yuan became more and more restless, "Who is from other provinces?"

"A well-known wealthy businessman."

He said in a gloomy tone, "The province has dispatched top doctors from the Public Security Hospital to protect my third uncle. You can decide what to do."

The dean sucked his teeth, "Yes, yes, I will transfer there right away, early in the morning at the latest, okay Mr. Chen?"

Chen Yuan hung up and threw the phone away, exhausted.

A long black shadow passed under his feet, "You are also here." Chen Chongzhou sat down opposite, "How long has the operation been?"

Chen Yuan's old problem of stomach ache occurred, and he leaned on the back of the chair, "Three hours."

This kind of comprehensive major surgery is like saving someone from the palace of the king of hell. In less than ten hours, the final life and death are uncertain.

He chewed a painkiller, and raised his eyes inadvertently. Shen Zhen was standing three or four meters away from the corridor, his face paler than the pale tube lamp.

She didn't come close, full of fear.

Chen Yuan frowned, "Why did you bring her to the hospital?"

Chen Chongzhou took out a pack of cigarettes, held it between his fingers, unlit it, smelled the smell of tobacco, "I didn't hide it."

"What's your way of lying to women?"

He lowered his voice, "Shen Zhen doesn't believe it." He added, "I said to go to my mother or her mother, but she would reveal the truth as soon as she asked, so I can only trick her into going back to the company to work overtime."

Chen Yuan was speechless, this liar was not as consummate as he who is not good at lying.

He straightened his back, "I resigned to work overtime, do you believe it yourself?"

Chen Chongzhou has been cunning for half his life, but after getting married, he obeyed Shen Zhenyan and never deceived her.

In the company, his assistant team members are all men, and there used to be girls in the department, so he was transferred to another team.

On weekdays, there is no intersection at all.

The men of the Chen family's generation, including Chen Ling, had the same thoughts.

I have seen the war where the two families killed each other and both were losers, I have also seen the family strife, Chen Zheng's indifference, Jiang Rong and He Peiyu spent their lives writing this history of blood and tears. If they love a woman, they will never put her in misery and wait. and calculations.

At this time, the door of the operating room was opened, and a nurse walked out. Chen Yuan got up immediately, "Is everything going well?"

The nurse opened the critical illness certificate, "Second critical illness, family members sign."

Chen Chongzhou subconsciously tilted his head, looking at Shen Zhen not far away.

With a sway of her body, the mood that had been in a daze all this time suddenly collapsed, and she rushed into the operating room like crazy, "Third Uncle!"

The nurse stopped her, "family members are not allowed to enter—"

She struggled to get away, and Chen Chongzhou hugged her hysterically from behind, "You are pregnant, so take care of your child first!"

Shen Zhen fell to the ground, sobbing, "I don't want the lock, I want third uncle to live..."

Chen Yuan blocked the door and signaled Chen Chongzhou to carry Shen Zhen back to the bench, "You hold on, can't you delay? I have transferred experts from the Beijing area, and they will arrive in the early morning at the latest."

The nurse shook her head, "The fatal wound was on the sternum, less than one centimeter from the heart. The bleeding during the process of taking out the bullet casings could not be stopped at all. If it weren't for the experience of the Horse Academy, Chen Ju would have died. According to the analysis of the wound, after he was shot, there was rubbing of the bullet. , The act of deepening the injury, congestion infiltrating the chest cavity, do you understand cerebral hemorrhage? That kind of large-scale spread will suffocate and die."

The door of the operating room was opened again, and Ma Boping was sweating profusely, even the sterile gown was soaked, "Do your best, Mr. Chen and Dr. Chen. At present, our four directors take turns pressing the hemostat. The time difference between changing hands should not exceed 0.1 seconds. Once loosened, the blood vessels burst, Chen Ju—”

Chen Yuan pulled Ma Boping away to avoid frightening Shen Zhen, "My third uncle is 41 years old this year, and he has no family and children. If he sacrifices..." His chest bulged violently, and his voice was choked up, "The villains on the four borders of Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia The power organization, he disregarded his own safety for 14 years to suppress it. He demoted himself two levels this time and petitioned to Patong. , There are wives who are pregnant, old mothers who are paralyzed, and newlywed police officers, and he replaced those people."

Ma Boping's eyes were red, "I have heard that his aorta and main blood vessel are too tightly bonded, so they need to be separated and then sutured. During suturing, control the bleeding point at the root, and control the amount at 0.9cm, otherwise the lungs will choke. Several experts Helpless."

"Lv Changlu in Beijing, is there any hope for him to take over?"

Ma Boping wiped the blood from his hands, thinking, "Professor Lu will do the surgery himself, and I will cooperate with my deputy. There is still a chance of survival. It should be sooner rather than later."

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "No problem, please try to stabilize yourself."

He walked to the corner passage and urged He Yuan on the phone, but He Yuan was helpless, "Professor Lu just finished a surgery, I informed him."

"Which flight."

"The last Air China flight."

"You tell Lu Changlu, within half an hour, I will guarantee that he will board the plane."

Chen Yuan found Guo Aiqi, and the provincial department took the handover, borrowed a local military plane, and took the shortest route directly to the city.

Lu Changlu hurriedly arrived at the General Hospital two hours later.

He spotted Chen Chongzhou at a glance, "Xiao Chen, are you in the Andrology Department of the General Hospital?"

"City people."

"Who is Bureau Chen?"

"Uncle dear."

When Ma Boping heard that Lu Changlu was coming, he greeted him, "Professor Lu, I'm sorry."

After briefly introducing the injury, Lu Changlu's expression was not very good. He took off his coat and followed Ma Boping into the disinfection room.

That night, Shen Zhen stared at the chandelier on the ceiling in a daze.

Chen Chongzhou put his arms around her, "Are you sleepy?"

She was hoarse and weak, "Can third uncle survive?"

He kissed her forehead, "Yes."

Chen Chongzhou gently held her head and leaned on his shoulder, "Sleep for a while, okay?"

Shen Zhen snuggled up to him with straight eyes.

The first beam of dawn pierced through the clouds and sprinkled on the skylight at the end, and the "in operation" light sign finally went out.

When Lu Changlu came out of the operating room, his pupils were bloodshot.

Shen Zhen leaned over cautiously, passed Chen Yuan and Chen Chongzhou, and watched him.

He took off his mask, "Fortunately, my life was saved."

Chen Chongzhou is a doctor. This kind of opening remarks means that the follow-up is not good. "Did you wake up?"

Lu Changlu replied, "Not only did he not wake up for the time being, but the probability of becoming conscious in the future is also very small. The dagger pierces the skull, and if it moves up an inch, it will be the cerebral blood vessels, which will cause great damage to the nerves."

Chen Yuan was taken aback, "Is it a vegetable?"

"possible."

The atmosphere was extremely depressing, they looked serious and said nothing.

Lu Changlu sighed, "It's really hurt too badly."

A team of medical staff pushed Chen Ling out slowly. He was lying on the hospital bed, his head wrapped in gauze, only his closed eyes were exposed, his upper body was naked, and it was filled with red, green and black instrument tubes.

The armored vehicle was dragged repeatedly, and he had no good skin all over his body.

Shen Zhen froze in place, like an invisible cage imprisoning her everything, she leaked a little bit, melted a little bit, the boundless sea, only sank into herself.

She felt a great sadness drowning, biting.It's clearly extremely bright here, but it's also desperately dark.

Chen Ling's frustration and depression were like a sharp arrow, cutting her skin to pieces.

She imagined that in that bloody storm, he risked his life to fight, still clinging to the golden lock at the critical moment; imagined that he had exhausted all his spare energy to tell Zheng Long to name him Chen Yu before he fell into a coma; Crisis-ridden Thailand still misses her and her children.

Shen Zhen suddenly rushed forward, crying hoarsely, "Third Uncle...I am obedient, if you want me to leave, I will leave, if you think I am noisy, I will never bother you anymore." Her eyes were filled with fog, looking Unable to understand him, he stubbornly opened his fingers and stuffed the lock back into his palm, "I want you to be safe, and you to open your eyes. Chen Yu looks like a boy. You can name it a girl, okay?"

The man was silent, and his breath was barely noticeable.

I remember that on the day Chen Ling went abroad, there was a traffic jam on Nanjiang Road.

From the east of Nanjiang Bridge, the long traffic flow spread to the west of Nanjiang Bridge.

Shen Zhen simply jumped out of the taxi and ran all the way to Dongjiang Airport.

After checking in his luggage, Li Zhe reminded Chen Ling, "Chen Bureau, it's too late if you don't board the plane."

Chen Ling looked at his watch and walked around the hall.

"It's estimated that Miss Shen has a temporary arrangement, and I can't contact you. Your business is important."

His trip is a new mobile phone number, new mobile phone, together with passport documents, also use "Gaiji".

The provincial department greeted the airline a week ago to ensure that Jiada's investigation of his entry and exit records can be impeccable.

The moment Chen Ling disappeared at the security checkpoint, Shen Zhen walked through the crowded crowd and stopped behind the check-in line.

He turns the corner, she turns the corner.

45 degrees, to separate the two worlds.

It always seems to pass by.

Li Hao was at the fast food restaurant on the second floor, taking the next flight to Hong Kong.

Shen Zhen handed him a bag of food, "There are pickled mustard and canned instant food, which I cooked with my own hands. Third Uncle probably won't be used to eating them in Thailand."

"Chen Ju has been in Southeast Asia for more than ten years, and he has long been used to the food there."

She rubbed the straps of her backpack and found it redundant, but she said stiffly, "I'm homesick when I'm old, you know what the hell."

"I'm getting older..." Li Hao packed his bags and carried on, "Don't worry, I'll hand it over to Bureau Chen."

At 12:24 midnight, the flight landed.

Chen Ling changed his face in the bathroom, pretended to be a vendor, and met Li Hao.

"Miss Shen arrived at the airport at 6:37, but she didn't let you go."

The man washed his face and calmed down, "Yeah."

"She entrusted me to bring you a canned heart made by myself, the police and the family are dear."

Chen Ling took it, "Did she cook it herself?"

"Yes." Li Hao sat on the ground, smelling the shoe pits, which made him roll his eyes, "Ju Zheng is too picky, the running shoes he equips are of inferior quality, he complains every day about the lack of funds, buying instant noodles for group fundraising, since I've been here Chang'an District Bureau became a policeman and lost three catties!"

What did Li Hao complain about? Chen Ling was absent-minded. He opened the sealed iron cover and found a can of braised beef.

He laughed, and stayed tightly together again, not willing to eat.

Shen Zhen was crawling by the bed, such a lively and heroic man, such a warm and generous body of flesh and blood, unexpectedly so lifeless.
