When the magic flower blooms

The bloody and cruel "deformed monster" Chen Ping was captured and brought to justice, which involved a period of business secrets in the famous pharmaceutical factory Jujingtang. According to Ming Ruoxing's judgment, once this case is exposed, it will inevitably cause unrest in the Asian society Little sensation.

Therefore, he took special care of Lin Dejing, absolutely not to include the "little work" he and He Tiansi did in the report; nor to mention their roles in this case to any media or individuals.

However, a few days later, the feedback from Lin Dejing greatly exceeded Ming Ruoxing's expectations.

First of all, Chen Ping was arrested as the only suspect in two murder cases and one attempted murder case. However, after the identification of a psychiatrist, it was confirmed that he had lost the capacity for civil conduct at the time of the case. Therefore, what he will face may not be The death penalty, but life imprisonment in a mental hospital.

At the same time, there is no more information about the suspected illegal operation of Jujingtang Laboratory and the secret behind Lou Minqiu.

When these two things were mentioned, Lin Dejing on the phone couldn't help lowering his voice.

He emphasized that he had raised these two issues at regular meetings within the task force, and submitted preliminary reports and applications for follow-up actions, but none of the applications were followed up.

"Ming Ruoxing, we are more than half of our peers, you should also understand what it means to encounter such a thing."

"..."

Ming Ruoxing had to admit that he had indeed encountered a similar situation.Sometimes, the case goes smoothly, even far beyond expectations.Just when everyone was fully expecting to find out the mastermind behind the scenes in one go and go straight to Huanglong, the higher-ups would slam on the brakes and stop all investigations.

"Continuing the investigation has the potential to jeopardize the lives of undercover agents and informants."

Sometimes, the above will give vague reasons similar to this.And more often than not, there is no reason.Anyway, it is the bounden duty of soldiers and policemen to obey orders, and the agents of the Asian Security Bureau who are in between are no exception.

Applying it to the current case, in Lin Dejing's words, "Jujingtang Pharmaceutical's waters are very deep, and if the investigation continues, it is very likely that the interests of a certain faction will be touched."

It's not like Ming Ruoxing doesn't understand this truth.

Although he deliberately wants to stay away from the political core, his father and elder brother are government bureaucrats after all, and he has to understand some powerful relationships to avoid getting too close to people with bad intentions, or even becoming a pawn played by the other party.

As far as he knows so far, the demi-human government can be roughly divided into three major factions, and there are more small groups under them.

Currently the youngest and most active is the bureaucratic faction.Most of the members of the group are young and promising political upstarts who lack financial resources and family background.

Families like Wu Fei belong to the traditional "nobles" - the patriarch has the so-called "title" that has been inherited from ancient times and is still recognized until modern times; however, the strength of the family has been declining year by year.Many people chose to escape from reality because of the huge gap in their hearts. They followed the "Dragon Emperor" who never saw each other and became "invisible people" in the political arena.

However, contrary to the superficial "hermit" style, it is their extremely active marriage policy-perhaps in their view, all forms of cooperation in this world are inferior to the natural binding force brought by the fusion of blood.

In addition to these two factions, there is a third type called "politicians".They are neither ordinary bureaucrats nor do they have "noble" titles.But they are all political families that made their fortunes in the early years. Through the inheritance from generation to generation, they have established a firm foothold in the upper class of the demihumans, and they are intertwined with each other, developing an extremely complicated and even treacherous relationship of interests.

Which faction's interests are involved behind the Jujingtang?

This question is like a Pandora's box.If you have to open the box to know the answer, it's better to keep it locked tightly.

At this point, Ming Ruoxing not only regretted why he agreed to He Tiansi to investigate this case in depth.

But there is no regret medicine in the world after all.The only thing they should do now is to decisively die down and retreat back to Goldfish Village.Expect things to calm down so quickly that no one notices their presence.

And things do seem to be moving in the direction he expected.

After returning to Jinyu Village for a full two weeks, nothing happened.The daily life in the safe house is still plain and warm.The only thing that disturbs Ming Ruoxing is that He Tiansi still keeps in touch with Yu Benxin.

At the beginning, what Ming Ruoxing was worried about was that Yu Benxin might awaken He Tiansi's memory inappropriately, which would cause He Tiansi's cognitive confusion.But this doubt was quickly dispelled.

After a few simple exchanges, Yu Benxin, who has lived abroad all year round, was finally convinced that he had never met He Tiansi.Naturally, He Tiansi couldn't tell the specific origin of this sense of déjà vu.

And through the inquiry of Naga's archives in the past few years, Ming Ruoxing also affirmed that he had never conducted any investigations on Benxin or Jujingtang Pharmaceutical.

Therefore, it seems that the strange feelings that the two of them have for each other can only be explained as illusions.

As time went by, Ming Ruoxing's concerns shifted to another direction.

He began to worry that He Tiansi's abnormal ability would arouse his original interest.If there is really a strong background behind Yu Benxin, will this background play He Tiansi's idea?

Bad thoughts are like a snowballing disaster that quickly overwhelms Ming Ruoxing.

After much deliberation, he made a relatively safe decision—to ask his elder brother for help.

-

"Jujingtang Pharmaceutical is indeed a gray area, and our people have already been eyeing this company."

On the other end of the phone, Brother Ming's voice was calm and powerful.Obviously, his little brother's extremely rare request for help put him in a good mood.

"During this period of time, if you didn't report to the police and acted mischievously behind my back, I should have scolded you severely. But one yard counts for one yard. In short, don't worry, no one from our Ming family would dare to move."

"I'm not referring to me, but He Tiansi." Ming Ruoxing corrected him.

"I don't care about that guy. However, if it is included in your possessions, it can be regarded as the property of the Ming family with difficulty."

"...As you please."

Not wanting to play such childish word games with his elder brother, Ming Ruoxing briefly recounted the ins and outs of the case, and promised to send the relevant files to his elder brother's mailbox, and then began to ask questions.

"You said that Jujingtang was under your surveillance before, so what is its background?"

"Why, you were not interested in politics before?"

Ming Ruoxing was too lazy to argue with him: "If you don't want me to cause trouble for our father, tell me quickly."

"The predecessor of Jujingtang has the background of the imperial hospital. What kind of background do you think it is?"

"Royalty... or 'nobility'?"

"What's the difference? Aren't the so-called nobles just a bunch of old stubborn people shivering under their dragon robes?"

"Is it really okay for you to say that about Wu Fei? And it's amazing that you fell in love with an 'old stubborn'."

"..."

Ming Ruochen could clearly hear "tsk" on the phone, but he didn't change the topic.

"This matter has nothing to do with Wu Fei's family. Jujingtang was originally only close to the group of royalists, but the situation has changed rapidly in recent years. If I want to spread it out, I'm afraid it will take a few hours. It may not be able to stop. Are you sure you want to listen?"

Ming Ruoxing also knows that it is not appropriate to disturb her brother too much during working hours.

"Forget it, let's talk about it when we have a chance to meet. Thank you, brother."

"My brother is actually very happy that you can come to discuss with me. Don't take care of yourself in the future. I'm not... a monster, and I won't eat you."

"……it is good."

Ming Ruoxing nodded at Brother Hu who couldn't eat people.Suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, brother, you should pay more attention to your heart. I think he is a bit strange."

"Someone has been paying attention to him for a long time. If there are special circumstances, I will notify you immediately."

"it is good."

A few days later, my brother sent an e-mail, which briefly described the investigations on Benxin.

First of all, Yu Benxin did not lie about his background and growth.

Records show that not long after his birth, he was sent abroad due to physical reasons, and spent the next 25 years traveling and studying in different countries.

During this period, Yu Benxin did not have any criminal records, nor did he show any clear signs of participating in the practice of Jujingtang.On the contrary, he has received many scholarships and published papers during his school days, so he is more like a scholar-type talent.

This time, Yu Benxin returned to the country to inherit the family business, but instead entered a management position—rather than saying that he became the "actual power holder", it is better to say that he is more like a puppet agent at present, and has no Too much real power.

In addition, there is another thing that Lin Dejing did not confirm, and it has also come to fruition: the experiment conducted in the Jujingtang Research Institute has indeed obtained special permission.

So in theory, Yu Benxin didn't break the law at all.

And Ming Ruochen explicitly expressed his attitude to Ming Ruoxing via email.

"Theoretically, Yu Benxin is harmless right now. It's okay for you to develop some relationship with him appropriately. Maybe this relationship can be used by us in the future."

"That's why I hate politics" - Ming Ruoxing really wanted to reject his brother's suggestion, but thinking about blindly relying on others while doing nothing by himself, this is too unreasonable.

But he agreed, but he never really thought about how to get close to Yu Benxin.

However, just a week later, He Tiansi pushed Ming Ruoxing a big step forward.

He said, "I would like to invite Yu Benxin to Jinyu Village as a guest."

-

He Tiansi had very good reasons for inviting Yu Benxin to be a guest.

Many people in Jinyu Village grow medicinal herbs, even Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu manage a medicinal garden.In recent years, the medicine business has not been doing well. Yu Benxin is the manager of Jujingtang. Invite him to Jinyu Village and say that maybe he can open up sales for the business in the village.

In addition, of course, there is also He Tiansi's selfishness—in his words, Yu Benxin was the first friend he wanted to date on his own initiative.Inviting friends to your home is a matter of course.

Ming Ruoxing was speechless.

He vaguely understood that He Tiansi's affection for Ben Xin stemmed from his desire for memory.

Up to now, he has been unable to stop this desire from growing stronger—just as he never imagined that He Tiansi would recover in such a short period of time, and even become stronger than before.

At the beginning, he only wanted to protect He Tiansi and avoid He Tiansi's cognitive confusion; but now this desire to protect has turned into a shackle that restrains He Tiansi.

It may be the most correct way to undo the shackles and return him to freedom.However, Ming Ruoxing couldn't help worrying that once this shackle was broken, He Tiansi might fly to the sky from now on, and the distance between the two would become farther and farther.

Where do we go from here?For the first time, Ming Ruoxing felt indecisive.

But entanglement is useless after all, He Tiansi is still waiting for his answer.

When emotion and reason run counter to each other, Ming Ruoxing chooses the latter masochistically in the end.

Although there is no way to tell all the secrets in person, at least this time, let He Tiansi do what he wants to do.

-

So, after three days of preparation, the first "country-style open-air buffet party" in Jinyu Village kicked off in the medicine garden this weekend.

Besides Yu Benxin, Xiaomei and many villagers from Jinyu Village were also invited.

Ming Ruoxing didn't know what Yu Benxin was thinking anyway, but in his opinion, this was indeed a quite successful "Goldfish Village Famous, Special and Premium Local Products Conference".

Under He Tiansi's warm hospitality, Yu Benxin happily left after spending a "full" weekend in Jinyu Village.Of course, this cordial meeting did not awaken any memory of He Tiansi, but on the contrary weakened the previous sense of specialness, making the two look more like ordinary friends who can be seen everywhere.

And just when Ming Ruoxing thought that this would stop for a while, another unexpected call came directly to He Tiansi's cell phone.

The call came from Wentianyuan on Yinshan Mountain.

After half a year, the gentlemen on the mountain came to care about He Tiansi's current situation again, and suggested that he return to Wentianyuan to practice for a period of time, and test his current level by the way.

Without any entanglement, the two immediately packed up their luggage, this time even Boss Bai was brought along, and the whole family went to Yinshan in a mighty manner.
