Hearing Nie Qing mention Yu Sheng among the members of the special case team, Qiu Luxin, the captain of the anti-drug detachment, was the first person to stand up to question him.

"Yu Sheng? Are you talking about Yu Sheng, the owner of the Sin nightclub?" Qiu Luxin threw the question on the table, and unsurprisingly received reactions from the surrounding circle of surprise or doubt.

Nie Shenxing's eyes became more and more complicated, and he continued to stare at Nie Qing for a while before turning his head and asking Qiu Luxin: "Sin's boss? Is that the legendary newcomer with a rather mysterious background?"

"That's right, we have spent a lot of effort but failed to obtain much useful information. If I had known that Team Leader Nie knew Boss Yu, I would have spent so much effort?" Qiu Luxin fiddled with the ballpoint pen on the table, with a gloomy expression unknown.

Nie Shenxing's eyebrows quickly tightened inward, and he quickly recovered. After thinking for a while, he said: "Let's not drag the topic away for the time being. Since we are discussing the candidates for the task force, let's talk about the facts. Nie Qing, what did you just say Among the few people here, besides Yu Sheng, there is another person who is not from the Criminal Investigation Detachment, who is he?"

"Musize, the team leader of Tianyou game development team, has strong computer programming and hacking skills, and was introduced by the team leader." Nie Qing finished speaking and glanced at Fu Mingjie.

Fu Mingjie took the voice knowingly and said: "I introduced him. He performed very well in helping to trace the source of the anonymous phone call, so I had a private conversation with Nie Qing before and recommended him to join the task force."

Nie Shenxing nodded knowingly, "Okay, since both of you think it's okay, then let him stay. As for the rest of your life, Nie Qing, don't leave after the meeting is over, let's talk alone."

"...Okay." Nie Qing replied in a low voice.

The content of the next meeting turned to the specific progress of the case. After Nie Qing finished what he knew, he said nothing, leaving Fu Mingjie and Su Ji to make supplements and conclusions.

After listening to their report, Nie Shenxing only briefly put forward some suggestions on the way of solving the case, and did not say much about other aspects. The decision-making and action rights are all in the hands of the criminal investigation detachment.

After it was over, everyone knew that Nie Shenxing was going to have a private conversation with Nie Qing, so they all left the meeting room quickly and with interest. Only Su Ji looked at Nie Qing with some concern before leaving, and stretched out his hand to press on his shoulder.

"Nie Qing, sit down."

When there were only the two of them left, Nie Shenxing waved to his son who was sitting almost face to face with him on the two ends of the long axis of the long oval table.

Nie Qing looked up at him, and sat still in place. "It's nice here, I can hear you talking."

Nie Shenxing couldn't help sighing slightly.

He sat in silence for a while, then shook his head lightly, and sighed: "Forget it, that's all. Tell me, what is going on when you say Yu Sheng is back? Captain Qiu said he is sin's boss, is it true?" ?”

"It used to be, but it's not anymore." Nie Qing paused, and added: "I learned about his return on September 30th, and he left sin on October [-]rd."

"Where did you get the news? Also, since you found Yu Sheng, why didn't you take him home? You know your mother misses him every day." When Nie Shenxing said this, his tone was slightly reproachful.

"I know." Nie Qing avoided the question about the source of the news, thought for a while and said, "I said at the time that I would take him home, but he didn't want to. I respect his choice."

"Don't want to?" Nie Shenxing frowned tightly. When you look at it this way, you will feel that the father and son are really similar. From appearance to demeanor, they are like carved out of the same mold, but Nie Shenxing has a little more on his body. Maturity and stability after being infiltrated by the years.

Nie Shenxing was sizing up his son at this time, his eyes were still kind, but his voice was slightly serious, "Why doesn't he want to go home? Where has he been all these years?"

"I don't know, he hasn't told me yet." Nie Qing said without squinting.

A look of doubt flashed in Nie Shenxing's eyes, "He won't even tell you, so what is he hiding? Is there anything he can't tell his family? No, I have to see him with my own eyes to be at ease. I have to ask him personally. His situation back then, tell me where he is now?"

"Dad." Nie Qing looked at him with restraining eyes, "I believe Yu Sheng must have his reasons for hiding it. I have already promised him that I will not press him until he is willing to speak. I hope you can do the same .”

"Nie Qing." Nie Shenxing lowered his tone, then sighed heavily, and said earnestly: "I know, you and Yu Sheng are brothers and sisters. Since you were young, you liked to obey him and protect him in everything. I can understand that. But don't forget, in the hearts of your mother and me, the rest of your life is like your own son. My child has been missing for more than three years, and now I finally have news of him. Can you not worry as a parent? Meet him and ask him about his experiences over the years?"

"I understand..." Nie Qing's attitude eased a little, but his mind remained unchanged, "Dad, I know you are worried, and I am the same... But since Yu Sheng has his difficulties now, it is not convenient to tell us the truth, then Why don't we wait longer? Anyway, he has already returned, and the days to come are still long, we can wait patiently for him to speak out voluntarily. And this time, I will never let him leave again."

Nie Shenxing stared at Nie Qing, and he seemed to hear a bit of determination from Nie Qing's last sentence.

And Nie Qing stood up after finishing speaking, looking at Nie Shenxing, "Dad, the whereabouts of Yu Sheng for more than three years does not conflict with his joining the task force. I hope you can approve it."

Nie Shenxing didn't answer for a while, and looked at him steadily.

Nie Qing didn't just force her, she just stood there firmly.

The two seem to be confronting each other, and they seem to be thinking about something.

About 5 minutes later, Nie Shenxing let out a breath first, and asked in a tone of asking for opinions: "Nie Qing, what do you think after you know that Yu Sheng is sin's boss? Although you haven't been in the police force for a long time , but after all, you graduated from a regular police academy for four years, and you should have some basic intuition and judgment. Tell me the truth, what do you think Yu Sheng may have done during his disappearance, and what he may become now Does such a person have no doubts?"

After all, I still asked here.

Nie Qing quickly organized the answer to this question in his mind. In fact, he had already conceived many times. When Nie Shenxing asked, how should he analyze and persuade Nie Shenxing to believe in Yu Sheng with reason.

But at this time, Nie Qing found that he couldn't come up with any of those arguments.

Because he didn't rely on those words to convince himself.

So deep down in his heart, he didn't believe that those "lines" that had been prepared could convince others, especially Nie Shenxing.

An "old fox" who has been more than 20 years deeper than him, his thoughts can't be hidden in front of Nie Shenxing.

Therefore, Nie Qing finally decided to tell the truth.

"Dad, I know that the rest of his life may have experienced some things in the past three years or so, and he may have come into contact with some people. He may have changed compared to before, and some of these changes may not be glorious, but these I don't even care." Nie Qing's words unconsciously carried a protective meaning.

He paused for two seconds, then continued: "I believe that Yu Sheng is essentially a person with a sense of justice and responsibility. I believe that he is gentle and kind, and he is even kinder than everyone else I know—if Otherwise, after what happened to Uncle Yu and Aunt Liang, his reaction shouldn't be to be so persistent in wanting to become a people's policeman!"

"Nie Qing, calm down first." Nie Shenxing made a gesture to signal Nie Qing to control the volume, and sighed slightly: "Of course I understand that Yu Sheng is a good boy, and I never doubt that he will take the initiative to do something illegal. However, he is still so young, what if someone forces him? Or someone deceives him and uses him? Have you ever thought about it, if you can't tell the difference accurately for the rest of your life, he is likely to be a tiger without knowing it? And your so-called 'understanding' and 'belief' are actually harmful rather than beneficial to him, and may even encourage some illegal things from the side. Have you considered all these consequences?"

"I—" Nie Qing was taken aback for a moment, but when he was about to speak again, Nie Shenxing interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Young people, it's good to be loyal, but don't let your emotions get you into trouble." Nie Shenxing tapped the joints of his right index finger and middle finger on the table, his voice lowered, "Nie Qing, the rest of my life is our family. I just I will help him, not harm him."

"Dad..." Nie Qing seemed a little moved.

And Nie Shenxing ended the topic just right at this time, and said with a relaxed expression: "You should think about it again, remember to convey my words to Yu Sheng, and let him think about it. When will you both figure it out?" Now, let’s go home together. After such a long time, it’s time for our family to have a good reunion.”

This time Nie Qing did not refuse again, nodded and said: "Okay, I will tell him."

Nie Shenxing looked at him with relief and smiled, "Well. As for the thing you said about letting Yu Sheng join the special case team, it's not impossible. I understand this kid's ability, and I believe that if he joins the team, he will definitely play a role in solving the case. It’s not a small effect. However, I still have to meet someone before talking. Isn’t this condition too much?”

Nie Qing silently shook his head.

"It's good that you can understand." Nie Shenxing stood up from the chair after finishing speaking, walked to Nie Qing and patted him, "Okay, it's getting late, go back and rest quickly. There are many things to do tomorrow."

"Well, I'll go back to the team and make arrangements." Nie Qing walked to the door of the conference room, hesitated for a moment, and said one more thing: "You also go home early to rest."

"Okay." Nie Shenxing replied with a light smile.

Nie Qing then turned around, and walked away step by step under Nie Shenxing's focused gaze.

It was already past one o'clock in the morning on October [-]th when I left the city bureau.

Nie Qing went back to his home first, and after finding no one at home, he drove directly to Yu Sheng's residence in the southeast corner of the city.

This is an old town that is older than Nie Shenxing.The streets are dilapidated and sparsely populated, as if isolated from the mainstream development of the city. Once you enter, you will have a strong sense of sight in the 80s and [-]s.

Almost all the mottled walls on the outside of the buildings were painted with red paint in a big circle, with some eye-catching words "demolition" written inside.However, these "demolition" characters survived year after year, exposed to the wind and sun, until the red paint turned into rusty flower paint, but this old city still stood tenaciously.

It's like being forgotten by others, no one cares about it.

If it wasn't for the rest of his life living here, Nie Qing wouldn't even have thought of such a place in Pingcheng.

So when he came back, he felt very strange, wondering why Yu Sheng chose to live here.

On the pitch-black road, there were no lights from street lamps or shops, only the two beams of light in front of the car shining straight ahead.

Nie Qing had already discovered that there were no lights in the community where Yu Sheng lived, and some of them were basically out of order. The whole area was like a lonely cemetery, where everyone who set foot in it was quietly buried.

When Nie Qing thought of Yu Sheng's empty room, the bed standing in the center like an isolated island, and the person lying alone on the bed, he felt chills in his heart.

He couldn't help speeding up his pace - because the roads in the community were narrow and winding, cars couldn't get in, so he parked the car outside, took the flashlight and walked quickly to the rental house where Yu Sheng lived along the last route.

When he reached the door, he stopped, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door lightly twice.

No one in the room answered.

Nie Qing waited for a while, then tapped lightly twice, and called out in a low voice, "Ah Sheng."

"Ah Qing?" Right behind the door, Nie Qing heard Yu Sheng's alert voice.

He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and raised his voice a bit: "It's me."

"Why did you come here?" Yu Sheng finally opened the door, felt his hand and pulled him in, and asked, "Why didn't you call me in advance?"

"I was afraid that you were asleep, and I didn't want to wake you up, so I wanted to come and have a look. If I knocked again just now and no one opened the door, I'm going to go back."

Nie Qing was groping by the wall as he spoke, trying to turn on the light, but Yu Sheng hugged him in the dark, kissed him softly, and whispered, "Ah Qing, can you just stay like this? Turn on the light." too bright."

"Hmm..." Nie Qing felt that his tongue had penetrated into his mouth, and the wet|smooth|soft touch instantly ignited the fire in his body, making him tighten the ring around his waist involuntarily. Arm, leading the person half-lifted and half-hugged onto the bed.

"Are you still dizzy?" Nie Qing asked as he untied his crotch.

Yu Sheng hummed twice in denial, wrapped his legs around his back and smiled lowly: "I'll be fine after I've come back and rested for a while, and I'm very energetic now."

"Really." Nie Qing pressed down his upper body and kissed him, some parts of his body were tightly pressed together, and the temperature rose suddenly.

"After finishing, I have something to tell you."

"Okay, let's talk when we're done."

In the dark, Yu Sheng unbuttoned Nie Qing's jacket one by one accurately and quickly. Their skins touched each other, and they could feel the strong beating of each other's heart.

That feeling, as if this person's heart beats only for himself.

Yu Sheng hugged Nie Qing tightly, as if light suddenly appeared in the dark and deserted world, and the continuous warmth surrounding his body made him irresistible.

At this moment, Yu Sheng felt that even if he was really blind in the future, he would have nothing to fear.

As long as Nie Qing is there.

As long as he is there, it doesn't matter if he can't see it.
