Chen Jing bought a bottle of mineral water in a small supermarket, and when he took out his mobile phone to pay, he found that there were already several messages on his mobile phone, and he scanned the QR code to pay.He grabbed the mineral water bottle with one hand and swiped out the message with the other.

[The target appears at the Sixth People's Hospital. 】

[The target has left the hospital and is now in a taxi. 】

[The taxi enters the old town. 】

[The target arrives at an old community, and seems to be waiting for someone. 】

Chen Jing stared at the messages for a long time, and finally replied.

[Follow well. 】

Just follow along and do nothing else.

After Chen Jing replied to the message, he thought for a while, turned his phone to silent, and then returned to the car.

Ren Xin also got out of the car, leaning against the car door, her eyes lightly swept across the road to Chen Jing, with her usual sense of oppression.

Chen Jing passed the water silently, but Ren Xin didn't take it.

"I don't want to drink now," he said, looking across the road again.

"Give me a cigarette."

On the opposite road, there were always bustling vehicles passing by, bringing a gust of howling wind, and the faint coolness of late autumn blowing across the green belt in the middle of the road.

Ren Xinyi didn't seem to feel it, his shirt sleeves were rolled up, revealing his well-proportioned forearm in the cold wind.

Chen Jing pursed his lips, obediently took out the cigarette case and smoked a cigarette, handed it over, took out the lighter, and leaned over to help light it.

Ren Xin also took the cigarette and looked at it before putting it in his mouth.

Obviously, he is only earning the not so much wages of his assistant, and he seldom smokes, but he always has the best cigarettes on him.

If he said he wanted cigars, would this person replace the cigarettes on his body with cigars?

Ren Xin also thought about this somewhat boring topic, and lit a cigarette with the help of Chen Jing's fire.

The rich and fragrant smoke pours into the mouth instantly, and the silky taste spreads along the mouth to the lungs.

In addition to the smell of tobacco itself, there is also a faint woody fragrance between the lips and teeth, and the lingering smoke, as if leaving the city and being in a large forest.

The atmosphere was oppressive and silent.

For some reason, he actually seldom smokes, and he never wears a cigarette on his body. When he really wants to smoke, he can just talk to Chen Jing.

This habit has been around for a long time.

Perhaps, it should be changed.

Neither of them spoke until they finished smoking a whole cigarette.

Ren Xin also stubbed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can by the side of the road.

Seeing the cigarette butt tumbling a few times in the air and landing exactly at the designated position, his mood seemed to improve a lot.

"Aren't you going to say something?"

Chen Jing's gaze followed his movements all the time, and the moment he heard the question, he even wondered if his little thoughts had been exposed, but he soon came back to his senses, and his eyes fell back on his leather shoes.

"Mr. Su has left the hospital and returned to his home in the old city."

"Oh?"

Ren Xin raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Next, should we send someone to bring Mr. Su back to the hospital, or..."

The word "please" was subconsciously bitten extremely hard.

Ren Xin also looked at his hands, but what he thought of was the scene of Su Cheng going crazy in the hospital, so he said something almost subconsciously.

"Of course I went to arrest people myself."

"what?"

Chen Jing raised his lowered head instantly, and his face became very ugly.

But I didn't see Ren Xinyi.

Ren Xin had already circled the front of the car and walked to the other side.

In fact, he regretted it after the words came out, but he had already figured it out, and he didn't need to explain anything to Chen Jing at all.

Just when Chen Jing couldn't control his feelings, Ren Xin also made a unilateral decision to deprive him of the qualification to explore his own thoughts.

He has already discovered that to be a qualified sender, he does not need such an emotional discussion partner at all.

Ren Xin also sat in the co-pilot seat.

"You drive, I'm tired."

It has been a long time since he has shown such an bossy and superior attitude.

The last time it was like this was when Chen Jing reappeared after he confessed his love and left.

At this moment, Chen Jing suddenly looked like a dying person. He really wanted to struggle for a while, but in the face of the other party's indifferent expression, he completely woke up.

If you don't listen, just get out!

He doesn't want to leave!

Chen Jing clenched his fists and got into the driver's seat before Ren Xinyi gave the order again.

After igniting the ignition and releasing the clutch, before the car was about to start, Ren Xinyi suddenly spoke again.

"Where is Song Zhe's house?"

The car vibrated a few times and turned off the ignition.

Chen Jing gritted his teeth, suppressing the discomfort in his heart.

"It seems to be in the information given to you."

"like?"

"Sorry, time is too tight, I just glanced at it and didn't fully remember it."

Ren Xin also made a slight nasal sound.

"Then find a way."

Chen Jing wanted to say something more, but Ren Xinyi folded his arms and continued: "Get the address, go directly there, and everyone else will be transferred to find someone."

It's not Su Cheng who is looking for someone, but Su Cheng's mother.

What a ruthless and concise command.

Chen Jing grabbed the steering wheel with his hand, his palms were covered with cold sweat, but he didn't say anything after all, and responded.

He was not in a hurry to drive, but took out his mobile phone and started to contact. In the ten minutes before receiving a reply, his mind was in a mess.

He could understand that Ren Xinyirang went directly to Song Zhe's house, but he couldn't understand why he didn't give himself a chance to speak at all.

He doesn't need me anymore.

This idea has been lingering in my mind, as if I had a nightmare when I was awake.

He suddenly realized that he was no longer the Chen Jing he was back then, and the man next to him was no longer the student or brother he was back then.

The hand holding the phone couldn't help trembling slightly. No matter how concentrated I was, I just couldn't read the words on the phone clearly.

Suddenly, a hand with sharp knuckles stretched out and took the mobile phone from his hand.

Ren Xinyi's slender fingers slid across the screen, and after a while.

"In that case, go back to the office."

Chen Jing started the car again, but the engine stalled.

Ren Xin also didn't turn her head back, she leaned on the backrest as if relaxed, with her head slanted on the window glass, keeping her face facing outward.

"Drive well, otherwise...you will never hear your daughter calling you daddy again."

After finishing speaking, he crossed his arms and adjusted his posture, as if he was too tired to talk anymore.

Ruthless and sarcastic.

Chen Jing quietly stared at the silhouette that was so close and so far away, and after a long time, he finally calmly withdrew his gaze.

Fire up and drive.

He has understood.

It's not that this man suddenly became ruthless, it's just that he was greedy.

……

Su Cheng returned to the old city, familiar old alleys, familiar old iron gates, but no familiar people waiting.

Because he didn't have the key, he could only wander anxiously outside the iron gate.

It was past ten o'clock at night, but there were no lights on the left and right rooms on the first floor.

At this time, Chen Xiuping may have really fallen asleep, but Aunt Zhao would not, she would not usually rest at this time.

Su Cheng thought about calling Chen Xiuping, but he was worried about scaring her.

Called Aunt Zhao's cell phone, but no one answered.

As time passed by, Su Cheng's anxiety became more and more serious.

In fact, it is not only anxiety, but also cold and hunger.

He couldn't remember how long he hadn't eaten. He probably had fluids to maintain nutrition when he was unconscious, and he didn't feel hungry when he woke up.

But at this moment, I felt my chest against my back.

He checked the time on his phone again.

In another 10 minutes, if Aunt Zhao still doesn't show up, call Chen Xiuping. Su Cheng made up his mind, rubbing his arms and stamping his feet.

What he was wearing on his feet were the thin cotton slippers given to her by the nurses when he was in the Sixth Person Hospital.

After another seven or eight minutes, footsteps actually sounded at the end of the alley.

Thank goodness!

Su Cheng took a few quick steps and greeted him.

No matter who it is, it's good to be able to enter the gate at this moment.

It turned out that it was really Aunt Zhao who came back, Su Cheng was overjoyed, but suddenly surprised.

In just a few days, Aunt Zhao seems to have aged a lot.

By her hand, there is also a child, who looks like five or six years old, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, with a small pink mouth tightly pressed, a pair of big black and white eyes, and is timidly looking around.

Probably never seen such a dilapidated city building.

Su Cheng greeted him with trembling lips.

"Aunt Zhao."

He yelled, his voice was so hoarse that his voice was blurred together.

Fortunately, Aunt Zhao was not yet old enough to be deaf and blind, and when she saw him, she was both happy and annoyed.

I want to say a few words about him, where have I been these days, do you know that this will make people worry.

But when her eyes fell on Su Cheng's thin clothes, she immediately dismissed the idea.

Holding the child in her hand, she walked over quickly while fumbling for the keys in her pocket.

"Why are you wearing so little, let's go into the house first."

She said that the person had already approached, and then she saw clearly that Su Cheng was not only thin, but also wearing a hospital gown.

Aunt Zhao was slightly taken aback, a look of deep worry flashed across her haggard face.

Su Cheng was quite afraid of her asking, so he hugged his arms and rubbed them.

"It's quite cold."

Aunt Zhao regained her senses after hearing the words, and quickly opened the door.

"Walk around, let's go first to the house. There is no heating in this broken community, but there happens to be a toaster at home. Let me toast it for you first. I will lock the door later."

Aunt Zhao dragged the timid child and led the sickly Su Cheng. After entering the house, she immediately found a grill, plugged it in, and turned on the grill to the high power level.

The warm yellow color instantly shone on Su Cheng's face, reflecting a healthy look on his sickly pale face.

The expression on Aunt Zhao's face obviously eased, and she went into the kitchen and brought a plate of glutinous rice cakes she made for Su Cheng.

"Cush your tummy."

As she said that, she squatted down again, and talked to her child step by step.

"Xiaoyou, can you help grandma and brother Xiaocheng here, grandma is going to lock the door, otherwise bad people will come in at night."

Her tone was gentle and her eyes were loving. It could be seen that she really loved the child.

But the child seemed a little shy of strangers, and finally nodded under Aunt Zhao's persuasive guidance.

But he still stood behind the fire roaster, as if being separated by a small sun would make him safer.

Aunt Zhao didn't force him, she smiled at Su Cheng again, and then went out to lock the door.

After Aunt Zhao left, Su Cheng sat in front of the grill and ate glutinous rice cakes.

Because it is mainly eaten by the elderly, this glutinous rice cake has a very light taste, and it is full of glutinous rice fragrance in the mouth.

Su Cheng took two mouthfuls and ate several.

The child just kept staring at him.

Probably Su Cheng's face was more deceptive, or it might be because he had never seen an adult who ate like this, and after a while, the child moved to the grill.

He twisted his fingers and looked at Su Cheng for a moment.

For some reason, Su Cheng remembered the little Douding in his dream.

In fact, the two are not alike at all except their age, Xiao Douding in the dream looks much more fragile.

And this child, although he is small, gives people a sense of honesty and honesty.

To be honest, even though it was a dream at that time, Su Cheng also had a little psychological shadow.

Now, even smart children can help adults touch porcelain.

Still such a child looks good.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake and handed it over.

Xiaoyou didn't look at Nuomi Ci, shook his head, and asked weakly.

"Have you been beaten by a man too?"

The voice was timid, like glass falling from a high altitude, blasting the ground crisply.

wipe.

Su Cheng took back what he said just now, children nowadays, no matter they are smart or simple and honest, are too unlovable.

What does it mean that he was beaten by a man? If he wants to be beaten, he is the one who beats someone else, okay?

Su Cheng was thinking depressedly, and suddenly noticed that the child used the word "also".

His brows raised slightly, and they knit together.

"Have you been beaten by a man too?"

Su Cheng tentatively asked questions.

Xiaoyou pursed her lips, and her head dropped instantly, as if a small light bulb emitting light suddenly ran out of power.

He also stopped wringing his fingers, and only after a long while did he say a word, and his voice became even quieter.

"The man called Dad always hits me."

As he spoke, he tilted his head slightly, and asked cautiously in a child's innocent voice.

"you too?"
