Pei Zhen stood for a while, and finally walked across from Meng Che, and sat down.Meng Che pushed the teacup in his direction, Pei Zhen raised his hand to block it, and said, "Yu Yao was indeed my friend before, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"It's nothing." Meng Che took Yu Yao to lead him over, but said something else, "I heard that Dr. Pei's medical skills are superb. It just so happened that a friend of mine in Fulin District had a health problem and couldn't get it. Appropriate treatment, if it is convenient for Dr. Pei, I am willing to pay a lot of money to hire you to go out to see the doctor."

Pei Zhen said: "You're absurd, I'm just an ordinary doctor, and I'm also helpless in the face of difficult and miscellaneous diseases."

"Go and have a look, it's just a waste of time, I will pay for your travel and accommodation expenses."

Still not letting go of his vigilance, Pei Zhen said, "Who is that friend of yours?"

Meng Che smiled and said, "You should know."

"I don't have any acquaintances in Fulin."

Although Meng Che was transferred, the connections and factions behind him were still rooted in Fulin District like a tree root, and it was still his puppet who succeeded him.In Huai City, he still needs to worry about the coalition government and foreign governments, but in Fulin, he can turn his hands into clouds and rain.

Meng Che said, "It's Yu Yao's eldest brother."

"...Yu Yan?"

Pei Zhen had heard from Yu Yao that he had a half-brother, and he tried to look for it after Yu Yao's accident.But what he didn't know was that the war in Beicheng caused heavy damage to Yu's family, and Yu Yan's residence was uncertain, so Pei Zhen's search was fruitless, and he never saw Yu Yan.

Pei Zhen frowned and said, "Is he sick?"

"He was injured in the war, and he was displaced for a long time, suffering from a lot of problems..." Meng Che said, "He was very hurt because of his brother's unjust death, so the situation is not optimistic. "

Pei Zhen was dubious at first, but the word "unjust death" in Meng Che's words was like a sharp bell. He looked up at Meng Che and said, "You..."

Meng Che put his hands on his knees and said, "Does Doctor Pei want a reason for you to believe me?"

Pei Zhen's five fingers were clenched tightly in his pocket, leaving a few whitish marks on his palm.He smiled and said, "I'm ignorant and ignorant, I don't know what's going on between you guys, and I won't trust anyone easily."

"Doctor Pei, since I have sought medical treatment from you, I have confessed to you—Zhenping and Yu Yan were my former classmates, and personally, the brother Zhenping has always been the object of my admiration. He can be as hypocritical as I and other students to please the teacher, and he can say "I don't know why I study" in class to make people laugh, but he does whatever he wants and never relaxes his requirements. It's really frank and comfortable. It's just that the more he has, the more scruples he has in doing things. I don't like this. I always want to warn him, but he has never heard of it." Meng Che has After speaking with a smile and a sigh, there was a bit of sincerity in these words, and he said again, "You see that the stiff relationship between us is just an appearance, I still care about the old friendship, otherwise I wouldn't Marrying with the Xu family will keep them safe from the turmoil four years ago."

Pei Zhen also thought about whether Meng Che would be a part of the dark hands who deliberately pushed the Xu family to the edge of the cliff.But he felt that Xu Meng's marriage was contradictory to being framed - it was this contradiction that kept Meng Che on the edge of "credibility" and "unreliability" in Pei Zhen's mind.

Pei Zhen was already a little shaken, but Meng Che showed his last bargaining chip and said, "A few years ago, Sishan... was disposed of before being sent to your hospital, right?"

The secret that had been hidden for many years was blatantly dug out, Pei Zhen's heart was shocked, and he suddenly looked up at him.He said: "That's why you...know that Yu Yao was killed unjustly?"

"His death is not an injustice—even if the murder is fake, he can still be killed if he is a member of the same robe society." Meng Che said halfway, "Doctor Pei, why don't you drink tea? It's cold."

Pei Zhen shook his head, and continued: "You know his grievances, and you also think about the friendship between Xu and Yu's family, so you are willing to help Zhiyuan... and brother Yu Yao?"

Meng Che rolled his eyes when he laughed, like a snake with its fangs retracted, and said, "Yes."

Pei Zhen clenched his fingers and asked, "May I know who framed Yu Yao back then?"

Appropriate exposure is a necessary part of seeking trust, so Meng Che was also unambiguous, saying: "Dong Jianshu, Jin Jirui."

Pei Zhen was silent, and finally said: "I understand, I will go to Fulin. Thank you for telling me this, but I still want to talk to Zhiyuan."

"You know he won't talk to you. Since you chose to hide the facts, you are already an enemy of him—even though I know you have difficulties—have you been looking for him less often in the past four years? Is it?" Meng Che said, "But if you really want to tell him, I won't stop, I'm just afraid that he will do something impulsive if he knows you are going to see brother Yu Yao."

Pei Zhen's expression was calm, he couldn't see any joy or anger, but one could feel that his whole body was enveloped by a sense of loss and depression. He said, "Thank you for reminding..."

The doorbell rang a few times, and the servant said in a clear and pleasant voice, "Hi, young lady."

Meng Che immediately changed his expression and greeted, "Are you back? Did you have fun?"

Meng Miaochang glanced at her father and said, "General."

Xu Zhiyuan looked at Pei Zhen who got up at the door, and said, "Why are you here?"

Meng Che said for him: "Zhiyuan, Dr. Pei is here to look for you."

"Sorry, I don't have much free time." Xu Zhiyuan said with a blank face, without looking at Pei Zhen, "If there is anything else, let's wait another day."

After Xu Zhiyuan went upstairs, Meng Miaochang explained for him while changing his shoes: "He does have an appointment tonight and tomorrow. If Dr. Pei wants to tell him anything, I can tell it for you."

"No need to bother you." Pei Zhen watched Xu Zhiyuan disappear, sighed a little, and left the Meng Mansion.

……

On the other side, Fang Jingxing walked into the cafe with a solemn expression, and when he entered the door, he keenly felt that the eyes of several waiters looking at him were very strange.When he lowered his hat and walked through the crowd to the second floor, he saw a group of men in black waiting in the store.

The leader Mou Xianzhi took off his hat and bowed when he saw Fang Jingxing coming.Fang Jingxing hung his coat on the hanger in the lounge indifferently, and said, "Yo, rare visitor."

Mou Xianzhi smiled and said, "It turns out that this is also Boss Fang's bookstore."

"The previous address was sealed up by the police for no reason, so I just moved the place." He glanced at the men in black, and their eyes were like a net, quietly catching in the store.Fang Jingxing said, "Are you here to buy books?"

"Let's take a look along the way," Mou Xianzhi picked up an old book on the counter, flipped through it quickly, and sighed, "Every time Boss Fang opens a bookstore with so many repeat customers, the business must be very prosperous."

Fang Jingxing always felt that the word "returning customer" in his slow voice had a hint of meaning, but his size was not messed up, and he pointed around calmly: "You are right, here, these are all Regular customers, in addition to students, there are also some old gentlemen who often come to the shop."

The accomplice and Mou Xianzhi whispered something, and Mou Xianzhi smiled at Fang Jingxing: "Then let's go first if there is nothing to do, and we can talk another day." He raised the book in his hand, put the silver dollar on the table, and said, "I bought this."

After this group of people left, a large clean space was left for the small place of the bookstore.Fang Jingxing checked the drawers and the rest room, and found that there were some traces of turning over, so the wrinkles between his brows became deeper.He faded the smile on his face, watched the group of people go away from the upstairs window, and stayed there for half an hour before slowly going downstairs.

Not only the Xingzhi Bookstore upstairs, but also the cafe downstairs belongs to Fang's family.

He found a seat in the cafe, and the waiter wearing a mask put the menu in front of him and said softly, "I was negligent."

"It doesn't matter, they didn't find anything," Fang Jingxing guessed, "Did Xu Zhiyuan come here today?"

Yu Yao said: "Yes."

"I said, the flies come here after smelling the aftertaste of the meat." Fang Jingxing ordered the simplest black coffee, handed back the menu, and said, "There are more people secretly staring at the young master than we imagined. He alone To defend against Meng Che is already exhausting. What's more, Dong Jianshu, Jin Jirui...and his business opponents are really ambushing all around."

Yu Yao turned around and went to grind for him, and said, "You tell him to be careful, for safety's sake, we won't see each other these days."

"Okay." Fang Jingxing said, "Before I came back, I got some news about your eldest brother. He went to Fulin. The specific reason is not detailed. Did he explain to you before he left?"

Yu Yao frowned and said, "No."

"We are trying to find a way to contact him. Don't worry too much. If there is any news, let me know as soon as possible."

"Ah."

"Ah..." Fang Jingxing lowered his voice, and said, "In recent years, the coalition government and foreign lackeys have been doing everything they can to make a fuss in various places, and they will go crazy when they mention the comrades' association. One is because the political situation is indeed about to change, and the other is... I I heard that the organization has actually planted a deadly secret line in the coalition government. The identity of that person is top secret. Many years have passed, and not many people even at the top of the organization know about it. The military information that person came into contact with is all confidential, even top secret—— He is also responsible for the victory of the Paohui in Beicheng. Last year’s turmoil in Huai City and Meng Che’s reassignment were all because the mediocre minds of the coalition government finally turned around and started to investigate this dark thread.”

Yu Yao once heard Mou Xianzhi say something like "there is still a big fish hidden in Huai City" in prison.They have reached the point where they would rather kill the wrong than let them go. The crime of "colluding with the same robe society" has naturally become a merciless massacre order, and whoever falls on it will inevitably be killed.

This made Yu Yao can't help but think back, did they really just rely on their fate to escape the catastrophe four years ago without any casualties?

He remained silent, thinking carefully.When he lowered his head, Fang Jingxing noticed the dense red marks on the back of his neck, which were faintly visible under the cover of his collar, so he asked honestly, "Hiss...are there mosquitoes in our bookstore?"

Yu Yao didn't react, and replied seriously: "I haven't seen it, probably not yet."

"That's other bugs. The spooky weather at this time makes the house moldy, and the rainy season will cause bugs to grow." Fang Jingxing found a self-consistent logic by himself, and said with concern, "In the drawer of the lounge There is ointment, you can apply some on the back of your neck later...you can bite it."

Yu Yao suddenly understood, covered the back of his neck, and immediately repented: "...No, it's a mosquito."

Fang Jingxing said strangely: "Isn't there not yet? Why did you go back again?"

Yu Yao nonsense said, "I was bitten elsewhere."

"Oh."

Mentioning the position of the back of Yu Yao's neck, Fang Jingxing thought of Xu Zhiyuan inexplicably, so he asked: "Speaking of which, the scar from the young master's neck to the back, the blood from the wound scared the doctor at the beginning. There were a lot of stitches in the hospital. If the young master was not young and strong, he would have passed on the operating table."

"He is the only seedling of Xu's family, and saving you is kind and righteous. Xu Zhenping was able to deal with his son so cruelly. Li Bian almost broke with him because of this matter." Fang Jingxing shook his head and said, "I don't know what Xu Zhenping is. What do you think?"

Yu Yao's drooping eyelashes twitched, feeling a little disappointed, and it took him a long time to utter the word "um".

Fang Jingxing was at the prime of his life, but he always spoke old-fashioned, as if he needed a cup of tea or goji berry to taste it.He cleared his throat and said, "Since we're talking about the young master again, it's inevitable that we have to summarize what happened at the last charity gala."

Yu Yao: "."

He grinds the coffee beans a little faster.

"Mr. Yu, you usually do things prudently and rationally, and you have made a lot of contributions. But we will analyze the specific situation and you will have to bear this criticism." Fang Jingxing said solemnly, "We arranged many people to interrupt the meeting at the charity gala, and your identity is The most special thing is that you don't need to take action unless you have to. But after knowing that the person who is fighting is the young master, you are the first to "charge". I know that your uncle and nephew have a good relationship, and you want to see him as soon as possible , but there is no need to be in such a hurry."

Yu Yao put the coffee in front of him, tried to make him stop analyzing, and said: "I just think Zhiyuan will definitely find out that something is wrong, and if he catches someone else, he may not give him credit. I'll go and talk to him." best explanation."

"Our comrades have so many authoritative ways to prove themselves, if the young master still doesn't believe it, then it's a ghost." Fang Jingxing took a sip of coffee, pouted his mouth and said, "When did you learn to find reasons? It's not difficult to admit, you just think about the young master, and I don't blame you for thinking about him. The meaning of the summary is to let you not make such impulsive mistakes next time." Finally, he added a sentence full of teaching, "Mr. Yu , you repent."

Yu Yao's coffee gag failed, maybe he should get a cup of red dates soaked with wolfberries to make it work.He had no choice but to rub the center of his brows, as if a drop of red ink had been spotted on the hot earlobe, he pursed his lips and said, "Yes... I repent."
