Four years single, three years widowed

This day inevitably came, and Li Can and Duan Wenzheng had their last breakfast in this place they called "home" before.

They got up, one went to the kitchen and the other to the entrance.

Duan Wenzheng turned on the faucet, lowered his head slightly, and scrubbed the dishes with a sponge with detergent, his hands were covered with foam.

Li Can put on his shoes, took off the coat from the hanger, and picked up the briefcase from the cabinet.

With a soft "click", the door was opened.

Tacitly did not say goodbye, as if it was another normal day, Duan Wenzheng would still stay at home idly doing sports, watching TV, when Li Can came home from work, he could still smell the smell of food, and saw Duan Wenzheng wearing an apron.

But that's just as if.

The truth is, the next time they meet will be the day when they get their divorce certificate, and after that, it will be difficult to have a chance to meet again.

"Ding!" The elevator reached the garage.

Li Can came back to his senses, what caught his eyes was the dim light, just like his mood at the moment.

After stepping out of the elevator, Li Can unlocked the car, started the engine, took control of the steering wheel, and drove out of the garage.

The journey went smoothly, and he successfully arrived at the company, but Li Can found that he could control the steering wheel, but he couldn't control his own heart.

He was inexplicably anxious, and his heart couldn't reach the ground, hanging in the air.

why?

Because of Duan Wenzheng's departure?

This speculation was broken by a phone call at noon, Li Can turned pale, hung up the phone and rushed to the company's garage on the ground floor.

His brain was confused, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably. He knew that he was not suitable for driving now, but he didn't want to waste time waiting for a taxi. He had to rush to the hospital immediately.

Li Can finally understood that his uneasiness was a premonition.

Hospitals always have a special smell, and the interior decoration is mostly white, which is both sacred and faintly hints at death.

Li Can never thought that one day he would be afraid of this place. He followed the nurse's instructions and ran to the emergency room. The light above the door was on, indicating that the rescue was in progress. There were two men standing outside the door with serious expressions.

"How's the situation?" Li Can said anxiously.

Lao Ding stepped forward: "Just now the nurse took two bags of blood in."

Blood?Excessive bleeding?

Fear is like a turbulent wave, trying to subvert Li Can's rationality, trying to calm down, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, but when he exhaled, his eyes were quickly covered with mist.

"What happened?" Li Can needed to divert his attention.

Glancing at the silent Director Zhao, Lao Ding nonsense without confidence: "Xiao Can, it's like this, a thief broke into your house..."

"A thief can beat Duan Wenzheng into the emergency room?!" Li Can abruptly interrupted Lao Ding.

He couldn't believe Lao Ding's words, not to mention that Duan Wenzheng's foot injury had healed and he could move flexibly. Even if he had not healed, Duan Wenzheng would not have been injured so badly by a thief. It proved that the one who broke into their house was definitely not as simple as a thief.

The scene froze instantly, and curious people not far away turned their heads frequently.

"...I'm sorry." Li Can apologized to Lao Ding for his gaffe.

"It's ok."

Lao Ding can fully understand Li Can, but he is really powerless to resist Li Can's questioning, so he looks at Director Zhao for help.

"Okay, now, there is nothing to hide." Director Zhao looked at Li Can and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Can, let me tell you the truth, in fact, Wen Zheng was not in other places for the three years he was transferred. Instead of working in the police station, he was performing a secret undercover mission."

Li Can was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't believe it.

The police, the undercover agents, like the plots that would appear in movies, actually appeared in his real life.

"It is a huge smuggling gang suspected of illegally buying and selling guns, mainly operating in City F, and the police there have been watching them for a long time." Director Zhao explained, "Similarly, they also know the police officers in City F very well. So the superior finally decided to transfer people from other places."

The person who transferred was Duan Wenzheng.

Li Can took a few steps back slowly, leaning against the wall to support his body.

Everything makes sense, why he can never get in touch with Duan Wenzheng, and can only wait for Duan Wenzheng to contact him, why Duan Wenzheng has rarely returned home in the past three years, why Duan Wenzheng always comes back late at night, and leaves in a hurry the next day go.

"Wen Zheng has been undercover for three years, and Wen Zheng has successfully completed his mission. But just last week, on the way to escort Zhang Hua, the leader of the criminal gang, an accident happened and he escaped." Zhao Ju frowned, "Zhang Hua is a man. , is notoriously ruthless and merciless, we are worried that he will retaliate against Wen Zheng, so we let Wen Zheng go home for a while, unexpectedly..."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Hua still came to the door.

"It's my fault." Li Can murmured.

"Ah?" His voice was too soft for Lao Ding to hear clearly.

Li Can raised his head, with deep regret in his eyes: "It's my fault."

Lao Ding and Zhao Ju looked at each other, unable to figure out where he was singing.

"Since Wen Zheng came back, he hasn't been out of the house once, until I left a document at home yesterday and asked him to send it to the company." Li Can lowered his head and clenched his hands into fists, "It's all because of me. "

It was all because of him that Duan Wenzheng went out and was discovered by Zhang Hua.

"No, Xiao Can, don't think about it." Old Ding hurriedly comforted Li Can, "Who knew that when Lao Duan went out, Zhang Hua would meet him by such a coincidence. It's not your fault."

Li Can remained silent, the self-blame and worry in his heart tormented him until he had no energy to speak.

Seeing this, Director Zhao asked, "Xiao Can, do you want to call Wen Zheng's parents?"

After a while to react, Li Can said softly: "Okay."

Taking out his mobile phone, Li Can dialed Duan Wenxin's number. He didn't dare to call Duan's father and Duan's mother directly, for fear that the two elders would not be able to stand the excitement and there would be danger on the way.

After two or three rings, the phone was picked up.

"Hey?"

"Sister, you pick up your parents and come to the hospital." Li Can said.

"Hospital?" Duan Wenxin asked, "What's wrong?"

Before Li Can could answer, Duan Wenxin suddenly realized something and said, "Is it Wen Zheng..."

"En." Li Can squeezed out a cry from his throat.

"I'll go right now!"

After the call ended, Li Can looked back to the emergency room, clutching his phone tightly, praying in his heart.

After a few minutes, Director Zhao was called away, leaving Lao Ding and Li Can behind.

He ran to the beverage vending machine and bought two bottles of water, Lao Ding handed a bottle of water to Li Can: "Drink some water."

Li Can shook his head, not intending to answer.

"Don't worry." Lao Ding said, "Old Duan is in danger."

Li Can was not at all relaxed by his words, his pair of red phoenix eyes were lifeless, and he asked abruptly: "What did you look like when you saw him?"

How dare Lao Ding tell Li Can to take back the mineral water and sit on the chair next to him.

"You don't need to say it, I can think of it too." Li Can said again.

"Don't think about it." Old Ding advised him.

"I can't help myself."

"Don't think about it, Li Can, don't think about it." Lao Ding seemed to know only this sentence, and persuaded earnestly, "Really, don't think about it."

They waited quietly, Li Can hoped that the door of the emergency room would be opened first, and inform them that Duan Wenzheng was safe, so that Duan's parents and Duan's mother who came later could worry less.

Unfortunately, his wish did not come true.

"Cancan!" Mother Duan took the lead, her steps hurried, "How's it going?"

Li Can stood up and supported Duan's mother: "I haven't come out yet."

"This... such a good person, why did something happen all of a sudden?" Duan's mother immediately shed tears, and she habitually sought comfort from Duan's father.

Holding Duan's mother's shoulders with his big hands, Duan's father looked at the emergency room, and said in a deep and powerful voice, "It will be fine."

With his words, inexplicably, everyone is much more stable.

"Who made my brother like this?" Duan Wenxin gritted his teeth.

"A fugitive named Zhang Hua." Lao Ding replied, "People are also trying to rescue him now."

"Zhang Hua?" Father Duan felt familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

"It doesn't matter who it is, if something happens to my brother, I will demand his life to pay for it!" As a lawyer, Duan Wenxin said it is not arrogant.

Lao Ding thought to himself, there is no need to risk his life for his life, and the case on Zhang Hua's body is enough for him to take a shot.

Then there was another long wait. After an unknown amount of time, the lights in the emergency room finally went out, and a doctor came out first.

"Doctor, is my son okay?" Mother Duan asked hurriedly.

The doctor took off his mask and said with a smile, "It's all right, it's out of danger."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Mother Duan patted her chest: "That's good, that's good."

"But the patient is still in a coma and hasn't woken up yet."

"How long will it be in a coma?" Li Can frowned.

"About a day or two."

After patiently answering a few more questions, the doctor left, and then the door of the emergency room opened, and the nurse pushed Duan Wenzheng out.

Duan Wenzheng was lying on the stretcher with his eyes closed, his face was covered with bruises, bruised and purple, and there was a square of gauze on his head, probably a wound sealed with needles.

The head alone is shocking to see, and one does not know how many wounds there are on his body under the quilt.

Duan's mother's stopped tears flowed again, and even Duan Wenxin, who was always strong, secretly turned her head and wiped away the tears.

All the way into the ward, from the stretcher to the hospital bed, after the nurse put Duan Wenzheng in place, he asked, "Which one of you will go with me to go through the hospitalization procedures?"

"I'll go." Li Can said proactively.

Following the nurse to the counter, Li Can helped Duan Wenzheng go through the formalities.

"This is the wallet found on the patient." The nurse handed the wallet to Li Can, "See if there is an ID card inside."

Li Can reached out to take it, opened the wallet, and the first thing he saw was his small photo.

Did Duan Wenzheng forget to remove it, or...

Pursing the corners of his lips, Li Can looked away and took out his ID card to the nurse.

After one operation by the nurse, Li Can completed Duan Wenzheng's hospitalization procedures and paid all the fees.

Holding the receipt and wallet in his hand, Li Can didn't go back to the ward immediately, but found a place with few people to sit down.

He had to think about some things.
