blind circle

The night passed extremely long, Shu Xin curled up and lay on the same hospital bed with Ji Liang.

Ji Liang held the thin boy tightly in his arms with his other arm without plaster, and from time to time gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips, and his deep voice lingered in Shu Xin's ear: " Rest assured, Xing Xing, I will definitely avenge Zhan Yinglian for you and bring that bastard Li Shengfeng to court!"

With tears in the corners of Shu Xin's eyes, he sucked his nose violently, and gently put his hand on Ji Liang's waist.

In fact, his impression of Bai Zhibing is very vague. He only remembers meeting Bai Zhibing when he was five years old, on the day his father and stepmother got married.Perhaps the subconscious mind deliberately erased that dark memory in order to protect itself, and also erased Brother Zhibing's face.

After a while, there was no sound in the silent ward, only two breathing sounds of different depths remained.

Suddenly, a male voice with a thick and wild voice let out a high-pitched voice, and a group of inexplicable people suddenly appeared around him, surrounded by people. Everyone stood on their feet, with joyful and novel smiles on their faces.

"Get on the bridal sedan chair——, the goldfish make lotus flowers, but the red phoenix faces the sun, the unicorn sends the precious son, the house is full of happy words, and the bride is getting married—" The sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums are loud, and the sky is full of joy.

Shu Xin took a closer look, and this seemed to be the gate of a big mansion, and a group of people surrounded a married bride and got into the sedan chair.The people watching around applauded again and again.

Shu Xin stood in the crowd and looked around curiously. He saw the groom not far away on a white horse. His back seemed somewhat familiar. Around him was a group of servants in red suits. After the bride got on the sedan chair, they quickly picked up the sedan chair. Staggered forward.

Is there still such a way of getting married in this day and age?

Shu Xin was pushed forward in the crowd.Suddenly, an arm that was clapping beside him bumped into him, and he noticed that not only the bride and groom, but everyone around them were wearing strange clothes, which seemed to be the costumes of the late Qing Dynasty, with long braids drooping Behind the head, everyone is covered in robes.

Shu Xin was vaguely curious, when is this, and who is this bride?

I never thought that the bride really opened the car curtain and took a look outside, but at the moment she turned her head, the hijab was gently blown by the wind, and that appearance was actually...

"what--."

In an instant, cold sweat covered Shu Xin's whole body, and he fell down in the crowd in horror, and the faces of the people around him all turned to him.

They all have the same face!That's the face of the stepmother!

The car curtain danced with the wind, and the bride's red lips were slightly raised, making the already pale face even more bloodless.

Shu Xin almost fainted from fright, he slumped on the ground and dared not move.

A few children not far from the street chased and ran around, chanting, "Get on the sedan chair—goldfish make lotus flowers, but the phoenix faces the sun, the unicorn sends the precious son, and the hall is full of happy words..."

All the scenery faded away quickly, Shu Xin sat up straight suddenly, opened his eyes, sweat dripped down his cheeks.

It was already daybreak.In the ward, the nurse was mopping the floor with a mop soaked in disinfectant.Ji Liang, who was sitting by the bed, saw Shu Xin still in shock, hugged him in his arms, lowered his head and said softly, "Xing Xing, what's wrong?"

"I had a nightmare...." Shu Xin raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and looked up to see Mu Huilan standing beside the bed with her hands folded on her chest, examining herself.

Shu Xin lowered his head and swallowed his saliva, deliberately missing that cold gaze.

Ji Liang seemed to have noticed Shu Xin's restraint and fear, he held Shu Xin's hand, and his eyes on Shu Xin's cheek softened a bit.

"Ms. Mu Huilan, please return the things quickly!" Ji Liang's cold and irresistible voice hit Mu Huilan, causing her body to tremble slightly.

"It's lost, it's thrown into the sea!" Not to be outdone, Mu Huilan puffed her chest out and responded coldly to Ji Liang.

"I still don't know about your little trick?" Ji Liang sneered, and pierced Mu Huilan's sharp eyes, "Two options, return the ring quickly and put it on Shu Xin's hand personally, or invite you back Go to England, from now on we will go our separate ways, and don't bother anyone!"

"You...!" Mu Huilan was flabbergasted immediately, like retaliation for retaliation, this brat dared to use such a method to threaten herself.

"Nephew, do you know what you are doing?" Mu Huilan stretched her neck and said to Ji Liang in a reprimanded tone: "If you don't go on Sunshine Avenue and insist on playing on the water, I'll ask you, this kid Can he carry on the family line for you? Can he take good care of you?"

Ji Liang glared at Mu Huilan, his tone was a bit more serious, "What about inheriting the family, have you done it yourself? Why are you so shameless at such an old age and bullying a young man in his early twenties? You want to inherit the family so much , won’t it be over if you give birth to one yourself?”

Mu Huilan was immediately angry and ashamed, her mouth was open enough to squeeze an egg into it.With one hand on her waist and one finger pointing at Ji Liang's face, she scolded angrily, "You son of a bitch, how dare you talk to your aunt like this, I..., I am so old, can I still give birth?!"

"Don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others, do you understand! You can't give birth yourself, so you force Shu Xin to give birth," Ji Liang put his generous palm on Shu Xin's head, rubbing his soft hair, "Whatever child you want, Shu Xin is my child!"

Mu Huilan's lips trembled, she shook her head angrily, pointed for a long time but couldn't say a word, finally she waved her hands, raised her head and said in a sobbing voice: "Did you see, big brother and sister-in-law? This is your good son." , unexpectedly, did not even listen to my words!"

"Stop! Hurry up!" Ji Liang's tone became a little impatient, "Return the ring, or I'll get it!"

"Good. Good. Great," Mu Huilan turned her head angrily, picked up the velvet handbag that was placed aside, took out the ring from it, and smashed it on the table with a "bang".

Ji Liang snatched the ring, carefully put it on Shu Xin's ring finger, turned to Mu Huilan and said, "There are more!"

"What else!" Mu Huilan glared angrily at the ring in Shu Xin's hand, feeling unwilling.At that time, in order to intimidate Shu Xin, she did throw a ring in, but it was a piece of jewelry that she bought casually in England at the time, and she didn't want it long after the novelty wore off.

"How did you promise me back then, you forgot?" Ji Liang's mouth hooked upwards, "Now you have a nephew and daughter-in-law, what about the wedding room in Haishi? There are also cars, hardware, The betrothal gift, nothing less!"

"Go and dream!" Mu Huilan dropped a few words coldly, and slammed the door away with a "bang".

"Don't worry, there will be nothing less that should belong to you." Ji Liang's eyes were full of pampering, he lowered his head and kissed Shu Xin's lips, "How could I treat you badly."

"Actually..., I really don't care about that, as long as we are safe and healthy." Shu Xin's eyes fell on Ji Liang's plastered arm, and he felt pain in his heart again and again, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts, it hurts a lot, but it doesn't hurt like this," Ji Liang pointed at his chest, "Why are you so stupid? If she tells you to dance, you just jump. What if something happens? What if it breaks down? Fortunately, Shunzi was there, if there were only the two of you at that time, what would you do?"

Shu Xin smiled, the grievances he suffered last night disappeared in an instant, "She is also your aunt after all, you should be more polite to her in the future."

"It's okay, this is the way we get along with her, don't worry about it." Ji Liang sighed, "Who is Zhan Yinglian to you? Why have you never mentioned it before?"

Shu Xin's eyes dimmed a bit, he turned his head to look at the letter on the desktop, and gestured: "Zhan Yinglian, no, it should be Bai Zhibing, he is my stepmother's younger brother, and he didn't spend much time with him when he was young. I only heard that he went to study in the provincial capital, but I didn’t expect that he entered CJF.”

Ji Liang nodded, and lightly patted Shu Xin's back with his hands, "The deceased is gone, we still have to live well, so that his painstaking efforts are not in vain."

Shu Xin sighed and continued to draw: "What should I do next?"

Ji Liang: "Since Bai Zhibing left us an important clue, we have to speed up and find a way to find the Berkeley doctor mentioned in the letter. Also, I have to go back to the company early to get the five-peak alliance's appointment in Huaguo. member list."

Shu Xin: "Since this is the case, in order to regain Li Shengfeng's trust, we can only use some extreme means."

After some discussion, Ji Liang hesitated at the conclusion he reached.He knew that this was indeed an excellent method, but once it aroused Li Shengfeng's suspicion, it would bring great harm to Shu Xin, so he didn't dare to gamble, and he couldn't gamble.

Shu Xin shook his head, and his intuition told him that Li Shengfeng would definitely not hurt himself.

Shu Xin told Ji Liang in sign language: "Li Shengfeng was hurt in his childhood, so he will feel sympathy for the same people."

But Ji Liang replied extremely calmly: "Shu Xin, it's not that I don't understand psychology, and you also know that it's not absolute. He may add his own experience to people like him, destroying others. Thought."

Shu Xin nodded: "Psychology shows that people with unfortunate childhoods will involuntarily choose to imitate the person who inflicted harm, and then hurt others, but I believe I have enough ability to protect myself."

Ji Liang stared into Shu Xin's eyes, and sighed helplessly: "Okay. But no matter what happens, you must discuss it with me in advance, and you can't act rashly."

New Jersey.

Sitting at home, Li Shengfeng tasted the red wine in his hands. He squinted his eyes and looked out of the window, looking at the empty villa opposite him. He actually missed the same-sex couple in his heart.

Suddenly, a push came in his hand - Shu Xin updated an article on Facebook!

Shu Xin is still alive? !

Some of the red wine in the glass was spilled, and the article was opened with trembling fingertips.

In 1938, the 27th year of the Republic of China, it was held in Seoul.

Jiang made a battle plan for defending harmless. This battle used terrain and fortifications to resist and consume Japanese pirates one by one, and finally turned into a war situation in which the enemy attacked our guard. This battle is the famous Battle of Seoul.

However, in Seoul that year, it was not only the arduous battle, but also the people of Seoul, as well as those spies/spies who were hidden behind the meritorious service and hidden in history.

All their lives they have endured infamy, the spurning of the people, and the suspicion, and they have contributed silently without asking for anything in return, but their great contribution is only known by their burning blood!

The bustling streets of Seoul are full of hawking noises, a scene of prosperity and stability, but everyone can feel that under the surface of this prosperity lies the heavy suppressed fear.

Shu Kewen was walking on the street with a grass root that came from nowhere in his mouth. He was walking on the streets of Seoul.

From time to time, one car after another drove by the side of the road, and the officers and soldiers in Japanese military uniforms on the car were scanning the people on the side of the road with contempt and awe.

Shu Kewen knew that the Japanese pirate army had just settled in at this time, and they needed someone, a Chinese, to serve as the captain of their pro-Japanese team.

A man who looked like a military officer noticed Ke Wen squatting on the side of the road and squinting his eyes. The officer's sight was attracted by Ke Wen's temperament, so he immediately decided that he needed such a person.

A hooligan, a person who makes the whole street hate him.Once such a person gains power, he will redouble the grievances he suffered in the past. Of course, such a person does not need to mention any patriotic backbone.

The officer pointed to Ke Wen on the side of the road, and Ke Wen quickly nodded and bowed to meet him: "My lord, what do you want?"

The Japanese pirate officer put on a smile. This smile was not for Ke Wen, but for himself. Sure enough, he read it right.

"Is it feasible for you to be the captain of the pro-Japanese team?"

Ke Wen seemed to have heard the great news, and wished he could just kneel on the ground.After seeing it, the common people on the side of the road were disgusted and disgusted in every way.They had a premonition that once this person gained power, he would continue to harass them, and the days ahead would be even more difficult.

"I can do it! My lord! I can definitely do it! Don't worry!" Ke Wen was incoherent happily.

The Japanese pirate officer held his sword in his hand, glanced at Ke Wen with satisfaction, and handed the things that his subordinates handed over to Ke Wen just now: "You, perform well! Come to the headquarters to report tomorrow!"

Ke Wen nodded and bowed to send the Japanese pirate officer away.

When the Japanese pirate army's car disappeared at the end of the road, all the flattery on Ke Wen's face was instantly withdrawn. A deep hatred was ignited in his eyes. Looking at the direction the car was going away, Ke Wen's eyes flashed. Passed the fortitude of a Chinese man.

Who would have thought that this ragged hooligan was not a gangster fleeing from another city, but a member of the Huaguo guerrillas!Who would have thought that this man used to be a Chinese soldier wearing a military uniform and walking in a hurry.

Ke Wen kept thinking about what the captain said to himself: "Comrade Ke Wen! The reason why I chose you is because you can read and write, and your brain is more flexible than ordinary comrades. This task is very difficult and very dangerous. Would you like to Do you accept this mission?"

This young man who stood upright and was full of enthusiasm immediately took a military posture impartially, his eyes were shining brightly, as if burning with flames: "I promise to complete the task!"

The story ends here, and Li Shengfeng saw Shu Xin's copywriting: "This is the eldest brother my grandfather has been looking for all his life, and he is also my great grandfather, but all he found were these fragments of history. We don't know what happened to him later. What did you experience after entering the secret service as a spy? When did you die? But my ancestors have such ambition and perseverance. Although I am dumb, my limbs are strong and my mind is clear. Why should I not?"

Li Shengfeng seemed to be hit by this sentence, Shu Kewen almost changed Li Shengfeng's life!

That man was a veteran, without father, mother, or relatives, and he never told anyone that he was a war hero, but he radiated his own unique light in the orphanage.

He voluntarily took care of all the children in the orphanage, every child was touched by him kindly, and he handed candy, especially for Li Shengfeng who was very smart at a young age!

It is a pity that Shu Kewen passed away not long after. Before he died, he told his story to the young Li Shengfeng.

His name is Shu Kewen. Because of the war, he lost contact with his only younger brother and never married.

Shu Kewen went to the government to reveal his identity before he died, just to win Li Shengfeng a chance to go to school!

It was in this way that Li Shengfeng walked out of the mountains, and was valued by Brian because of his high IQ, and he was brought to the United States.

Li Shengfeng's hands were almost trembling.

He really wanted to shout, he finally found Shu Kewen's family, even though Li Shengfeng didn't know who his parents were, but in his heart, Kewen was his relative, a relative like his father!

The only family member!

After Shu Kewen's death, Li Shengfeng never regarded anyone as a relative, whether it was Brian or Dai Jia, but at this moment, he actually felt a little bit of relative to Shu Xin.
