Breaking Through the Clouds

"Brother Yan is very happy today, everyone, don't be too polite, come! Drink, drink!..."

With black lines all over Jiang Ting's face, he lifted the drunken Ma Xiang who was on top of him, and handed it to Fang Zhenghong, who was still sitting upright, but his gaze had obviously started to glaze over.

There was a lot of noise in the wedding venue. The elderly leaders were either greeting each other and taking pictures, or sitting on the deck chairs by the swimming pool to rest. All the young people were chatting, laughing, chasing each other and fighting each other.Due to Advisor Jiang's prestige and his physical condition, he didn't dare to pour him alcohol, but he was not so polite to Yan Mao, clamoring "I am the bridegroom, believe it or not" Team Yan has already been overwhelmed by the bastards of the Criminal Investigation Detachment. If Gao Panqing hadn't stopped him, he would have already fallen into the swimming pool with Han Xiaomei, who was crookedly walking on high heels.

As for Dui Yan's mother, Ms. Zeng Cuicui, she is busy arguing with her husband at the moment: "Again, you didn't take a peek at her when the old lady walked by just now?"

In the distance, a Caucasian aunt with red and willow green flowers passed by with her head high and her chest high. Yan's father hurriedly swore: "I didn't aim! I really didn't aim!"

Team Yu: "Based on the angle of the suspect's head swing and the response to the questioning, I tend to believe that there is a fact of the crime..."

Yan's mother: "Did you hear that! Say it again, you didn't take aim?!"

Yan's father was eager to get wise: "I just saw that her bag is very beautiful, and I was thinking about buying one for my wife..."

Judging from Yu Dui's expression, this answer is obviously a negative score. As expected, he only listened to Yan's mother: "What! You can even see what bag he is carrying! You bastard, I don't love you anymore!!"

Yan's mother took the rest of the team by her arm and rushed back to drink tea angrily, while Yan's father hurriedly ran away chasing his wife while screaming for injustice.

Yan Xie's view of family is indeed deeply influenced by his parents... Jiang Ting laughed dumbly, and was about to catch Yan Xie back to sober up, when he turned around and saw that he was staggering by the swimming pool, only a few bureau chiefs The director was leaning on the recliner to watch the play, and Mrs. Lu's reprimand was coming from the crowd:

"Lu, Dong, Bin! How many times has the doctor told you not to eat so much meat! Put it down!"

Pia slapped his chopsticks, and Ju Lu hissed, "Oh! What are you doing, old woman!..."

After enjoying the record of Jue Lu's beating, Jiang Ting turned his head and saw Han Xiaomei rushing straight towards him.The little girl was made miserable by the wrapped skirt and high heels, with disheveled hair and lipstick all over her face, she grabbed Jiang Ting and yelled, "Brother Jiang—! It's not good!"

Jiang Ting asked casually, "Where's your brother Yan?"

"Brother Yan was escorted away by the waiter!" Han Xiaomei yelled while the band was playing and chatting and laughing with the crowd: "Man! He looks so handsome! Sister Meimei saw it! Tell me to report the news immediately!"

Jiang Ting: "..."

"Extremely handsome! It's not a good thing at first glance!"

Jiang Ting couldn't laugh or cry, thanked the drunk and enthusiastic crowd Han Xiaomei, walked through the wedding venue and the back garden of the hotel, the reserved hall was empty.Jiang Ting's slender silhouette in a snow-white dress was reflected on the polished marble floor. He walked through the corridor, and suddenly heard a faint movement from the lounge in the distance, as if someone was walking and talking.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Xie's iconic voice sounded, and based on Jiang Ting's understanding of him, the voice was full of embarrassment that was about to be concealed: "...Ah, yes, no. It's not that I forgot to invite you. Thought you were busy..."

The next moment, a relatively young and calmer male voice rang out, saying, "It's okay, I just heard that you are holding a wedding here, so I flew over to have a look."

Yan Xie inside the door and Jiang Ting outside the door had exactly the same thought at the same time - how to fly to the other side of the ocean "by the way"?

The man seemed to sense something wrong with what he said, and immediately added: "Actually, I just wanted to see my sister-in-law... that... your wife... Captain Jiang, there is really no other meaning."

Jiang Ting: "?"

Jiang Ting originally wanted to walk over and push the door with heavy steps, but when he suddenly heard his name, he was stunned for a moment, changed his mind and stepped forward gently, and looked in through the crack of the door.

Yan Yan, who had drunk his head, slumped on the sofa chair, resting his red forehead with one hand, the corners of his mouth seemed to be twitching slightly.Standing beside him was a strange man whom he had never seen before. He probably had just arrived at the wedding scene. His body was still dusty, his expression was a little cold and cautious, but his face was beautiful.

That kind of "beautiful" is a bit of a rare classical beauty, with a face like jade, brows and stars, red lips and white teeth, even a little too delicate, but the straight and sharp bridge of the nose and browbones neutralize this feeling.Judging from the overall facial features, this person is very young, and some people believe that he is in his early twenties, but from the subtleties such as eyebrows, eyes, etc., it can be seen that his actual age is not much younger than Yan Yan.

He was dressed in a black formal suit, with broad shoulders and long legs, and a steady momentum. His figure was about the same as when Yan Mao was standing upright. He was the type who stood out from the crowd when he walked on the street.

Jiang Ting gasped, thinking that this awkward atmosphere, could it be his ex-boyfriend?

"I came in a hurry without saying hello, just kidding, this is my red envelope—"

"Oh, what are you doing, take it back and take it back, as long as the person comes..."

"I didn't have time to prepare anything in a hurry, please accept it quickly. Let's ask Captain Jiang—"

"Sit down, sit down, I'll get someone to greet you. Oh, I'm sorry, I drank too much today, let me... vomit!!"

Yan Yan staggered, covered his mouth and fell down before standing up.The man subconsciously stretched out his hand to help them, and in an instant, both of them jumped back at the same time as if they had been electrocuted. Yan Yan was frightened like a husky with its hair blown out, and staggered three steps towards the door, even waking up from the wine.

The indescribable atmosphere lasted for a second, and the two of them simultaneously:

Man: "I'm sorry I didn't mean to!"

Yan Yan: "You sit down! Don't move! I'll call my mother!"

Yan Mao's eyes were clearly flickering with horror, and he turned around and hurriedly opened the door, and Jiang Ting, who was caught off guard, appeared outside the door.

Yan Yan: "..."

Jiang Ting: "..."

If it was just embarrassment just now, it is solidified now.

The cheerful music of the wedding in the distance came from a distance, which made the indoor atmosphere even more weird.The three of them looked at each other, Jiang Ting was confused, Yan Yan's expression was blank; while the strange man stared straight at Jiang Ting, as if he finally saw his target after a long journey, he suddenly took half a step forward and opened his mouth to say something. What--

"My dear, let me introduce to you." Yan Yan grabbed Jiang Ting with great force, as if grabbing a life-saving straw: "Do you still remember that I told you that I wanted to invite you but I was afraid that he would not have time so I was too embarrassed to say so?" Is that the honored guest you invited? The one who I wrote the invitation card and thought about not disturbing you so I didn’t send it out?”

Jiang Ting: "..."

There is no such thing.Yan Xie's original words were as follows: "What? Why don't you invite more friends? Those bastards who eat and drink are also worthy of being called friends?"

"It's this one. Oh, we used to have a good relationship. I didn't expect him to come this time!" Yan Yan pointed at the miscellaneous, with a sincere and warm face: "It's a long story, his surname is Xue, and it's me. The... vomit!!"

The mournful Yan Xie stood up and spoke, and the drunkenness was so strong that it went straight to the throat.

Jiang Ting saw him waving his hand in pain, signaling to wait for a few minutes, then staggered to the other end of the corridor, boom!Slamming the bathroom door, the next moment vomiting came, and the sound of splashing water came as expected.

"..." The corner of his mouth twitched and replaced with Jiang Ting.

The uninvited handsome man stood there with innocent eyes.

"Mr. Xue...?" Jiang Ting confirmed.

Facts have proved that creatures in nature will show different degrees of instinctive reactions when facing potential rivals in love. The higher the IQ, the more this is the case. Even Jiang Ting can feel that he subconsciously stood up straight when facing this handsome guy surnamed Xue. Also adjusted the facial expressions below to look more calm and natural.

The corner of the man's mouth was raised, as if he wanted to smile politely, but because his long-frozen facial muscles were not used to this expression, the smile seemed to suddenly twitch his cheeks: "Hello, you are Captain Jiang, right? "

The visitor shook Jiang Ting's hand, and hurriedly took it back after just a shake.In an instant, Jiang Ting keenly felt that his palms were very wet, and the end of his voice was also a little unnoticeably tense, and said, "My name is Xue Chonghua, and I work in the Haijin City Public Security Bureau."

Jiang Ting was slightly surprised, is he still a colleague?

"I'm Yan Yan's..." Xue Chonghua pointed to the direction of the bathroom: "Distant relatives."

Jiang Ting nodded to express his understanding, his eyes were subtle.

In fact, Xue Chonghua didn't know why the Jiang detachment in front of him showed such a complicated and clear expression.He hurriedly sat on the plane for [-] hours without closing his eyes. After getting off the plane, he took a taxi directly to the hotel. All the way, his mind went blank, and he didn't even think of bringing something or sealing a red envelope. I took some foreign currency from the ATM machine in the hotel lobby, and hurriedly took the paper bag, so as not to make a joke of coming empty-handed.

It wasn't until he stepped into the hotel gate that he felt a touch of stepping on the ground -- but even so, his mind hadn't had time to return to the normal channel.

"I have admired you for a long time," Xue Chonghua paused, and then repeated with emphasis: "I have admired you for a long time."

The voice sounded very strange, Jiang Ting didn't know how to react, he just nodded, and then he said: "I know about you from one of your friends."

Jiang stopped to realize: "Friend?"

Xue Chonghua stared at him deeply, with tired light blue eye circles, which were particularly conspicuous on his fair skin. He uttered two words slowly and hoarsely between his teeth, saying:

"Painter."

——painter.

Scattered memories came along with the day and midsummer, and cicadas buzzed around the tree-lined road outside the public hall.The basketball drew an arc under the sky, passed through the basket, and landed with a bang; whistles and cheers rang out, and someone laughed and said: "The assist is beautiful! Jiang Ting makes another three-pointer, and he will be the death penalty academy!"

"Let's just say that you two should be working together long ago! Let's make a debut as a team!"

Jiang Ting turned and returned to defense, the wind whistled in his ears, and a familiar laughter came faintly not far away: "Get out, don't form a group, I don't match the name Jiang..."

"Shut up!" Jiang Ting shouted while running.

However, it was already too late, and as expected, the man laughed amidst the booing: "If I were to partner with him, wouldn't our combination name be—"

"Who?" Jiang Ting looked back at Xue Chonghua, with a hint of doubt in his calm: "Painter?"

The rest room was extremely quiet. The two looked at each other. Xue Chonghua's lips parted, as if he had difficulty pronouncing every word: "...how did the painter die?"

Jiang Ting laughed and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, you might have mistaken someone."

Xue Chonghua stared at him, Jiang Ting politely signaled: "I'm going to see Yan Yan, I'm sorry, excuse me..."

"and many more!"

Jiang Ting paused, only to see Xue Chonghua pinching his shoulder from behind, the back of his hand bulging due to excessive force.

"Eleven years ago, in Haijin City, you were the only emergency contact of the 'painter' registered on the intelligence network. What is your relationship?"

"..."

"He was exposed to protect a person," Xue Chonghua asked with a trembling voice, "Who is that person?"

I don't know when the band stopped, there was silence in the distance, and the long silence was suffocating.

Jiang Ting finally raised his hand, grabbed Xue Chonghua's palm like a steel pliers, and pulled it away from his shoulder little by little.

"Officer Xue, you can't pursue the past. If I were you, I would choose to live a good life."

Xue Chonghua's stern face suddenly changed, but before he could say anything, Jiang Ting said coldly: "If you ask me again, it is a serious violation of discipline. People from the Provincial Public Security Bureau are right in front of you. You don't want to be arrested by the national security after you return to China, do you?"

I don't know how long the stalemate lasted, Xue Chonghua's hand finally dropped, and Jiang Ting walked out of the lounge without looking back.

·

Yan Xie was exhausted and vomited, put his head under the faucet and rushed for a while, and then violently shook his short, hedgehog-like hair, splashing water everywhere, and his handsome face was covered with water droplets.He reached for the towel with his eyes closed, and suddenly he heard the back door being opened, followed by a click of the lock.

"Jiang Ting?" Yan Yan asked casually.

The next second—bang!

A huge force strangled his neck, turned and pushed forward, pushing him against the marble wall against his back.Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ting's voice rang close to his ears, intimate and dangerous, like a cheetah eager to try: "Yan——."

Yan Yan: "..."

"Is there something you should explain to me, huh?"

Yan Yan was inexplicably thrown into his arms by a beauty... with his back full, although he was very beautiful, but he was still not used to pointing chrysanthemums at others, so he struggled symbolically, and before turning around, Jiang Ting exerted even more force He firmly resisted: "Don't move!"

"Hiss," Yan Yan pressed half of his handsome face against the wall, gasped and laughed, "Baby, although I've always wanted to have a field play, but..."

Jiang Ting bent his knees and touched Ding Yan's chrysanthemum: "Who is your baby?"

"Team Jiang, Team Jiang, Professor Jiang." Yan Yan immediately gave in: "What do you want me to say? I am willing to obey the people's democratic dictatorship. Just tell me which bank card password you want?"

"Bank card password?"

"Stock wealth management safes, luxury cars, luxury watches, real estate certificates, you just ask what you want. We are a family now, it's not good to keep thinking about my husband's chrysanthemums, and there are people outside... ouch!"

Jiang Ting clung to Yan Mao's ear, and every word blew a trace of warmth: "Who is that person outside?"

Yan Xi was taken aback.

"Relatives?" Jiang Ting jokingly elongated his tone: "What kind of relatives, huh?"

Yan Mao finally understood something, and the expression in his eyes changed, showing a strange expression of suppressing a smile.

Jiang Ting: "You still have three seconds to confess and be lenient, otherwise today next year will be the anniversary of you celebrating the first anniversary of becoming a divorced man..."

call!

Yan Yan suddenly forcibly broke free from the shackles, picked up Jiang Ting, and hugged him on the kitchen counter indiscriminately, forcing him to sit with his knees apart, and then squeezed into his thighs, pinching his mandible.

The attacking position was suddenly reversed, and Jiang Ting was forced to raise his head: "What are you doing?"

Yan Yan stared at him condescendingly: "Want to know?"

If you look carefully, you will find that Jiang Ting's eyelids suddenly jumped ominously.

"His name is Xue Chonghua," Yan Yan smiled slightly: "His great-grandfather is my great-grandfather's younger brother, and his mother is my grandfather's niece. The nightmare of going to - the legendary obedient, sensible and good grades 'children from other people'."

The locked bathroom fell into silence.

The two looked at each other.

"..." Jiang Ting said calmly, "I don't have any other ideas, you misunderstood. The main reason is that you two are arguing..."

"That's because he used to have serious cleanliness." Yan Yan said leisurely, "A few years ago, I was injured in a cross-province operation and was sent to the hospital urgently. It happened that he was also on duty in that city, and the provincial department asked him to go immediately. Look at my situation. However, when he appeared by the ambulance, the nurse just asked him to help carry the stretcher, and at that moment he vomited, vomited all over me who was about to be pushed to be rescued."

Jiang Ting mouthed a silent "ah".

"What's even more exaggerated is that he vomited the second round immediately after the first round. Please imagine my feelings of shock, despair, dying and lying on a stretcher with nowhere to hide." Yan Yan said politely : "I haven't seen him since that time. We haven't even made a phone call for so many years, and the circle of friends has blocked each other."

"So," Yan Xie stared at Jiang Ting with interest as if concluding his statement, "I'm just curious, why did he fly over ten hours to see you?"

Yan Mao lowered her head, and the two of them almost had their noses touching.After a while, Yan Xie rubbed the bridge of Jiang Ting's nose intimately, bowed his head and kissed him a long and tight kiss.

"Xingshi asked the crime..." Yan Yan ignored Jiang Ting's denial and evasion, and murmured with a smile between his lips and teeth: "Look at your jealousy..."

Jiang Ting pretended nothing happened, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he put one hand on Yan Mao's chest, pushing him back.They were knocking twice on the bathroom door while they were struggling, but they didn't bother to pay attention, but then there was another knock.

"Someone!" Yan Yan roared.

"Hello!" The hotel waiter shouted outside the door, chattering English for a while.

Yan Yan was confused when he heard this, and was about to answer: "There is someone! Come back later!" Jiang Ting gasped slightly, showing a puzzled look.

"how?"

"He said that someone who was not on the guest list just came to the front desk and left a gift, saying that it was something urgently needed for the wedding, and he must notify you immediately, and then left."

Yan Mo was puzzled: "What?"

The two looked at each other, and both saw the doubt in the other's eyes.It couldn't be Xue Chonghua, that silly X just wrapped a bag of cash in white paper, but who else could it be?

After a while, Yan Xie made a decision: "Go and have a look."
