Chapter 159 The Uninvited Guest

Zhong Yuncong hurriedly walked through the corridor, walking too hastily, when he passed a corner, he didn't see a person in front of him, and when he didn't pay attention, the two bumped into each other.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Seeing that the other party staggered and was almost knocked to the ground by himself, he was very sorry, and he quickly gave his hand while apologizing.

Unexpectedly, his hand was thrown away.

Zhong Yuncong was startled, and then realized that the person who was almost knocked down by him was Ren Jie's mother.

They had met once, in Ren Jie's ward, and it seemed that since then, she had a bad impression of herself.

Zhong Yuncong was somewhat embarrassed, and withdrew his hand embarrassingly.

In the past two days, He Huiqiong's health has become worse and worse, her complexion has turned pale, and her eyes have turned blue. She seems to be standing unsteadily, with one hand leaning on the wall, coughing badly.

Zhong Yuncong became more and more ashamed when he saw this, he bowed slightly, and bowed his head again to apologize: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Ren."

He Huiqiong was tortured so much by a mouthful of phlegm stuck in her throat that she didn't even plan to look at him, but after hearing the word "Mrs. Ren", her eyes turned cold, veins appeared on the back of her skinny hands, and her nails almost dug in. in the wall.

She was just about to say something, but her body didn't live up to her strength. She opened her mouth with a series of heart-piercing coughs, which frightened Zhong Yuncong: "Should I help you to the infirmary?"

He Huiqiong's body was even more rickety, and half of her body had to lean against the wall to barely stand still. Zhong Yuncong tentatively asked, "Then how about... I'll call Ren Jie over?"

"Go away." During the panting gap, He Huiqiong finally spoke out. Her voice was hoarse and flat, and there was clearly no ups and downs in her voice, but the disgust was palpable.

Zhong Yun was at a loss for a while, neither leaving nor staying.

"Hey, why are you standing here stupidly? The chief is looking for you!" Just as he was standing there without embarrassment, there was a rush of footsteps from behind, and he turned around immediately as if he had been pardoned, and looked helplessly. Looking at the person coming: "Ah, it's you, is the Zongju looking for me? It just so happens that I also have something to ask him."

The person who came was the security officer who often followed Zong Zhengze. His name was Xu Yang. He had no special position, but he was quite trusted by the director. He was like a secretary and special assistant. Zhong Yuncong also dealt with him a few times. Very familiar.

"Then go..." Xu Yang hurriedly dragged him to leave, but in the blink of an eye, he met He Huiqiong's cold eyes.

Immediately, he showed embarrassment, his tongue was also tied, and he laughed twice: "Ah... Director He is here too."

After He Huiqiong gouged him out, she turned her face away and started coughing again.

Xu Yang scratched the bridge of his nose and smiled wryly.

Zhong Yun watched his words and demeanor, although he didn't know what was wrong with them, but from the looks of it, it seemed that Xu Yang was ignoring it.

Xu Yang nodded at He Huiqiong again, as expected, he didn't wait for a reply, he didn't care, or didn't dare to care, turned around and slipped away as if fleeing, urging: "Let's go... ..."

Zhong Yuncong didn't follow right away, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Ms. He, you should go see a doctor."

He was not slow, he had already noticed that he had almost angered the other party by saying "Mrs. Ren", so he naturally learned his lesson and changed his address at this moment.After saying that, he quickened his pace, and wanted to run like Xu Yang, but he didn't expect the coughing sound behind him to stop suddenly, and then, He Huiqiong's voice sounded.

"Do you know?" It sounded like speaking was an extremely strenuous task for her, and because of this, Zhong Yuncong stopped in place.

"Half an hour ago, I also went to see Xu Yang. I wanted to see Zong Zhengzheng, but Xu Yang told me that he was not here."

Zhong Yuncong couldn't help turning his head back, and a smile appeared on He Huiqiong's always rigid face, but the smile was too bitter, and there was a hint of resentment, which made his back feel cold.

"I waited outside his door for half an hour, but I still couldn't wait for him." He Huiqiong continued to smile at him, "But as soon as you came, he was there."

Zhong Yun never felt guilty for some reason, he stumbled to find an excuse for Zong Zhengze: "Then maybe he was not in the Zong Bureau before and just came back..."

He couldn't continue talking as he was talking, He Huiqiong stared straight at him, still with the smile that made him shudder.

"There are not so many excuses, it's just that our family is useless to him." She sneered to herself, "So he threw us away like a piece of rag."

After she said this, she staggered away. Zhong Yuncong looked at her aging back and sighed heavily.

Xu Yang, who had walked a long way over there, suddenly found that the boy surnamed Zhong hadn't followed, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Zhong Yuncong, what are you doing? Let's go!"

Zhong Yun came back to his senses and hurriedly chased after him.

When the two arrived at the director's office, they found that Zong Zheng was already waiting at the door, and he didn't talk nonsense when he saw Zhong Yuncong, and turned around first with his hat in hand: "Let's go, come with me to see the five suspects. "

Xu Yang didn't come with him, and Zhong Yuncong followed Zong Zhengzheng in the corridor. Zhong Yuncong was half a step behind, looking at his boss's straight back, and suddenly thought of Ms. He's waist that couldn't be straightened just now.

Probably because the contrast between the two pictures was too sharp, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Zongju...were you...in the office just now?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted it. He was a newcomer, so what qualifications did he have to question the leader.

Zong Zhengzheng's footsteps paused, which made Zhong Yuncong, who was already uneasy, even more frightened, and he couldn't move his feet anymore.

Zong Zheng turned his face sideways, and took his gaze coldly: "Have you met He Huiqiong?"

Zhong Yuncong looked at him awkwardly, then quickly lowered his eyelids and gave a soft "hmm".

"Oh." Zong Zheng smiled faintly, "What did she say?"

Zhong Yuncong opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. Zong Zhengzheng's question was tantamount to admitting indirectly that he knew that He Huiqiong had been here. He was indeed in the office at the time, but he was unwilling to find a decent reason to dismiss He Huiqiong. .

"It's nothing." He finally swallowed back what he wanted to say, just shook his head, his brows drooped, showing a little loss.

When Zong Zheng saw this, his smile deepened a little, and he continued on: "It's okay if you don't say anything, I can probably guess what she said."

Zhong Yuncong also followed, but didn't say anything.

"What's the matter, you want to call me an old bastard again?"

Zong Zhengzheng's words didn't mean much to blame, but full of self-deprecating meaning, but after Zhong Yuncong heard it, his brows were still downcast.

"Nothing!" He firmly denied, "I never thought about it that way!"

Zong Zhengze let out a cold snort for his behavior, which is equivalent to no money here: "Come on, you can scold if you want, I don't want to see her, because it's unnecessary."

Zhong Yuncong groaned for a long time, but still didn't hold back: "Why? Maybe she has something important..."

"What important thing can she have?" He was beaten back by Zong Zhengze before he finished asking, "Isn't it just because of her son's stupid matter?"

her son?Isn't her son Ren Jie?Zhong Yuncong became more concerned: "What happened to Ren Jie?"

"He's fine." Zong Zheng sneered, "It's just that people don't have enough hearts to swallow elephants."

"Uh..." Zhong Yuncong didn't know how to speak for a while.

"I'm used to being a villain, so I'm used to treating others with a villain's heart, thinking that everyone is just like her." Zong Zhengzheng's voice was very cold, "I feel that I suppressed her and her son because of Ren Yan's relationship. , She didn't open her eyes wide to see, in this management bureau, who didn't survive like this, could it be that he is the only newcomer running errands in the whole situation?"

Zhong Yuncong listened, and suddenly felt a little guilty. Speaking of which, this newcomer... seems to be really different from other newcomers.

No wonder Ms. He can't understand him so much.

Now that he thought of this level, he couldn't help but diverge his thinking - what about the other people in the bureau?Is that how you see me?

Zong Zhengzheng's eyes are so vicious, he can guess what's on his mind with just one glance, he shook his head: "Don't think about it, you are different from other people."

Zhong Yuncong was taken aback for a moment: "Where...is it different?"

"Do you know how rare people with spiritual abilities are?" Zong Zheng shrugged, "This year, you are the only one."

Zhong Yuncong suddenly felt flattered: "Yes, is it?"

"Well. So every psychic superpower is the target of key cultivation, and it's not a special treatment for you."

Zhong Yuncong felt a little relieved.

"In the future," Zong Zheng suddenly turned his head and gave him a meaningful look, "there will be more important responsibilities waiting for you."

His glance shook Zhong Yun's throat from his heart that was just about to return to his place.

"Director..." He swallowed hard, "Don't just say half of what you said, okay?" It's wicked, right? ? ?

Zong Zheng turned his head calmly: "Why are you in a hurry? You haven't waited until you can take on that responsibility...let's settle the matter in front of you first."

Zhong Yun saw the key information from the other party's half-smile expression—what if he didn't say anything?Who told you to scold me behind my back?I'm dying of you!

How can a man of his age still hold grudges like this? !

Zhong Yuncong felt that the virtue of childishness may have been passed down from generation to generation in the Administration Bureau.

"I heard that those five people are members of the picket team?" After complaining, Zhong Yuncong changed a serious face and started talking about business, "Did you ask anything?"

Zong Zheng said with a stern expression: "No. He was very stubborn. He insisted that they were dealing with the 'Shadow'. They said everything softly and hard, but they still refused to change their words."

Zhong Yuncong's eyes darkened. At first hearing, the other party's argument was quite reasonable, but after careful consideration, it was untenable.

If it really happened for a reason as they said, why did they fight with the Management Bureau later?He even took a bite out of it.

This beam has been formed, and the Management Bureau will definitely not let it go lightly.

"So, you want to..."

"En." Zong Zheng nodded his head, "I can't ask them, I can only rely on you to directly search their memories."

Zhong Yuncong rubbed his nose, thinking that he was quite easy to use, no wonder the director likes to manipulate him so much.

Thinking of it this way, I couldn't help feeling a little proud in my heart.

Of course, I didn't let the leader see it, otherwise I would have to be punished again.

>>>

He Huiqiong coughed for a long time, her trachea was throbbing with pain, but in the end she didn't stop and turned to the hospital halfway.

Originally, I just wanted to prescribe some medicine, but the doctor felt that her condition should not be underestimated, and said that her medicine was not enough, so it was better to stay in the hospital.

He Huiqiong frowned and refused. She felt that the doctor was too busy. If Zhang Jibai was like that, she probably wouldn't bother to talk nonsense. Unfortunately, the one she met was more medically virtuous, so she annoyed He Huiqiong, so they each withdrew half of the time. Take a step, let go and get an injection.

After the injection, she touched her sore arm, picked up her coat, and left the hospital alone with a bag of medicine.

Coughing continued on the road, which made He Huiqiong wonder if the injection just now was for nothing.

But no matter what, she didn't want to turn back anymore, she wanted to go back to sleep more than questioning.

It was already late at night when she got home, she was drowsy, and after searching for a long time, she took out the key from her pocket, and just inserted it into the lock when there was movement from behind the door.

He Huiqiong's heart moved, Ren Jie must be back.

After the mother-son quarrel, she really kicked Ren Jie out, and Ren Jie came back twice, apparently with the intention of seeking peace, but her anger still remained, and she scolded him away with a cold face .

Thinking about it now, I regret it a bit.

Forget it, as long as he apologizes tonight, he won't bother with the child anymore.

He Huiqiong's tense face eased a little, and she gained some strength. She opened the door neatly: "Xiaojie..."

Before she finished speaking, her steps froze in place.

"Hui Qiong, you are finally back, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

Sitting on the sofa in her living room was a young girl, and behind her stood an old man with gray temples, with a kind face, looking at her with a smile.

At first glance, I thought they were father and daughter.

But He Huiqiong knew that they were not.

The woman's face is very awkward, but she knows the man.Even though he was much older, she recognized him instantly.

Her hands trembled belatedly, and she took a step back involuntarily: "You, you... are back!"
