The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

The next night, Wang Changsong personally went to Jinghuayuan and delivered the arm guard and the bulletproof vest. When Lin Zhiyuan saw the real thing in front of him, he was stunned, "Changsong, where did you get it? This is really armor."

"It's not as protective as armor. Because we are in a hurry, I asked the master to tie four steel plates together with leather ropes and wear it on my arm. Even if Pan Guolong cuts me with a knife, it can withstand a while." Wang Changsong personally helped Lin Zhiyuan put on the arm guard and demonstrated a few simple movements to him.

Lin Zhiyuan was both amused and confused, but he knew that Wang Changsong was thinking about his safety. "Okay, Changsong, thank you. I'll accept this set of arm guards."

Wang Changsong took out the briefcase again and briefly introduced its functions. Lin Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, "This thing is good, it's more suitable for me. Even if I go out for a meeting, I won't attract attention if I carry it."

Now that they had the protective gear, the two of them formally discussed their next course of action.

During the day today, the plainclothes police sent by Wang Changsong discovered that Pan Guolong went to the book market again to stake out Wu Xiaoqing, but unfortunately, Wu Xiaoqing did not go to the beauty salon in the book market today, so Pan Guolong waited for a whole day in vain.

Lin Zhiyuan and Wang Changsong agreed that since Pan Guolong liked to hang out at the book market, it would be most appropriate for them to set the arrest scene there.

Building 102, Liudao Street, Tiexi.

Pan Guofu, wearing a dark blue leather cotton jacket, pushed the bicycle into the stairwell, carried it to the second-floor landing, and locked it up.

In fact, even if his old 28 was given away for free, even a thief would not want it. However, Pan Guofu still regarded it as a treasure and would carry it upstairs without any complaints every time he came home from get off work.

If a person loses a lot, he will grab every thing at hand like a life-saving straw, such as this bicycle or his current job.

Four years ago, Pan Dongbao got cancer in prison. After successfully applying for medical parole, he died less than half a year after returning home. Li Shujuan suffered this blow and also died of illness less than a year later.

Pan Guofu handled his parents' funeral affairs by himself. Both funerals were deserted. Except for a few colleagues from his workshop who came to pay their respects, none of his former relatives and friends came.

However, Pan Guofu's ex-wife Wu Xiaoqing heard the news. Although she did not show up in person, she asked her brother Wu Xiaotian to send 5,000 yuan. After all, she was the daughter-in-law of the Pan family back then, and this money could be regarded as putting an end to the relationship they once had!

Wu Xiaotian's first job was in a slag factory, which was found for him by Pan Dongbao. No matter what, Wu Xiaotian was grateful to his sister's former father-in-law in his heart. In the mourning shed where only Pan Guofu was, Wu Xiaotian kowtowed three times respectfully. Pan Guofu, who suffered a double blow, returned the greetings three times stiffly.

Wu Xiaotian turned around and saw that the once prosperous Pan family had fallen to such a state, which made him sigh.

In the end, it was Wu Xiaotian who helped, by contacting the car, the crematorium and the cemetery, and finally Pan Dongbao and Li Shujuan were able to be buried in peace.

When Wu Xiaotian accompanied Pan Guofu out of the cemetery, he said, "Brother-in-law, you are not young anymore, find another one!"

No matter how cowardly Pan Guofu was, he was still nice to Wu Xiaotian in the beginning, and Wu Xiaotian always remembered this kindness in his heart.

In fact, Pan Guofu has always wanted to find another partner, but his conditions are now very different from those of the past. He is now just an ordinary cadre of Gegang, and cannot be compared with the son of the factory director back then.

Fortunately, Pan Guofu has completely faced the reality. With the introduction of others, he started living with a divorced rural woman in the suburbs of Ge'an.

"Cohabiting" is the term used in Northeast China, which means living together without getting married, a bit like a casual couple.

The woman didn't have a job, and the family relied on Pan Guofu's salary to support the expenses, but fortunately the woman was quite virtuous and could handle all the housework. The past two years were a relatively stable period in Pan Guofu's life, which had experienced many ups and downs.

Pan Guofu thought that he might spend the rest of his life like this. He would work honestly, earn a decent salary, get married with this woman after two years, have a child, and then live out the rest of his life like most incompetent men.

But all his beautiful dreams were shattered by his elder brother two weeks ago.

Two weeks ago, Pan Guolong was released from prison, and the police from the police station notified Pan Guofu, but Pan Guofu did not go to pick him up. He hated Pan Guolong, and he believed that if it were not for his elder brother, all the misfortunes that their family had suffered would not have happened, and Pan Guolong was the culprit who destroyed the Pan family.

But then the police station called his unit and asked him to come over immediately and take Pan Guolong away.

Pan Guofu had no choice but to hold his nose and go to the police station, where he saw his elder brother, who looked depressed and whom he had not seen for many years.

The policeman who called to inform him told Pan Guofu that he was now Pan Guolong's only relative in the world, and in order to help released prisoners better integrate into society, he suggested that he take Pan Guolong to his home to live for a while.

Pan Guofu had no choice but to take his eldest brother back home. That night, he symbolically bought a roast chicken and two pounds of pork head, and asked the woman he lived with to cook a few dishes.

Pan Guolong, who hadn't seen meat for many years, ate like a hungry wolf.

Seeing Pan Guolong gnawing on a roast chicken while staring at his woman with his eyes almost glowing green, Pan Guofu's heart sank. He realized that he had let a wolf into the house.

After learning from the lesson of Wu Xiaoqing, Pan Guofu didn't dare to leave Pan Guolong at home. After dinner, Pan Guofu took Pan Guolong to a bathhouse and arranged a lady for him. After paying the money, Pan Guofu went home alone.

That night, Pan Guofu revealed the truth to his woman and explained Pan Guolong's past, which scared the woman.

Pan Guofu told her that when she was alone at home during the day, she should not open the door no matter how Pan Guolong knocked. The woman nodded quickly.

The next day, Pan Guofu went to work in a restless mood. He was worried for the whole day and did not receive any calls. Pan Guofu even had an illusion that Pan Guolong had completely disappeared from this world and would not bother him again.

But at night, when he carried the old 28 upstairs, all his fantasies collapsed. Pan Guolong squatted on the second-floor landing, without making any sound, his two empty eyes staring into the endless void.

When the two brothers looked at each other, Pan Guolong grinned, and Pan Guofu noticed that Pan Guolong's two front teeth were missing, forming a conspicuous black hole.

"Second brother, even you don't want me anymore?" Just this one sentence made Pan Guofu's already hardened heart soften again.
