Chapter 59 Brother "No, you were abducted. Before dying,...
"Shuxing, you finally..." Chu Minghao said with emotion: "There is someone I care about."
With a very slight "click" sound, Bai Shuxing raised his eyes to look at Chu Minghao and chuckled: "Mayor Chu, I don't quite understand what you are talking about."
Chu Minghao stared at the gun pointed at him for a few seconds, then shifted his gaze to Bai Shuxing, who had a nonchalant expression, and was slightly absent-minded.
"Minghao, City A is the economic center of Xia Country, and evil forces are rampant there. It has almost become a lawless place. You will have a long way to go!"
At that time, he was full of vigor and confidence and assured the white-haired old man: "Please rest assured that I will crack down on the crimes in City A with lightning speed and eliminate the evil organizations there."
"Purge..." The old man repeated the two words and asked an unrelated question: "Minghao, do you know how many public officials in our country sacrifice their lives every year because of these criminals?"
Without waiting for his answer, the old man continued, "So many people come forward one after another every year to fight on the front line against crime. But you know the result. Especially in City A, the sacrifice rate of public officials has always ranked first in the country, and it is still rising year by year."
"Those bloody numbers are so heartbreaking!" The old man pounded his chest in grief.
Chu Minghao saluted and said solemnly: "They died for what they deserved. And I will not look back either."
"No, Minghao, I know you have a strong character. But on this trip, I hope you won't have a direct conflict with the local tyrants there. You are my favorite disciple, and I don't want you to fail there."
"Teacher?" Chu Minghao looked at the old man in disbelief.
"Marx once mentioned in Capital that 100% profit would make people dare to trample on all human laws, and 300% profit would make people commit any crime at the risk of being hanged."
The old man sighed, "So, as long as there are people, there will be insatiable desires. As long as there is profit to be made, there will be people who will take risks at all costs. The flowers of sin will always bloom underground where the sun cannot reach. And you alone cannot fill the bottomless abyss of sin."
"Teacher, you should do your job. I will never allow those lawless elements to commit crimes under my rule and do nothing."
"How could I let you let me go? In your eyes, the teacher is this kind of person?"
"So what do you mean, teacher?"
"Fight poison with poison." The old man pushed a piece of information in front of Chu Minghao: "Take a look at this."
"Bai Shuxing, one of the heirs of the Yulong Gang, lost his mother at a young age and was not liked by his father. His father had a total of eight illegitimate children. In the five years between the ages of nine and fourteen, three of them killed each other, and another three died in group fights, falling from buildings, and car accidents. Who do you think -" the old man tapped his fingertips on the table, "among the remaining three, who was the one who led all this?"
"It's Bai Shuxing!"
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Chu Minghao replied while flipping through the information: "The information mentioned that the police later found out that one of the parties involved in the fight was engaged in human trafficking. The illegitimate child who fell from the building had taken over the drug trading business of the Yulong Gang. As for the driver in the car accident, he had a history of drug abuse for nearly ten years and had sold his wife and daughter for drugs."
"Among the remaining three people, only Bai Shuxing, or his mother, is a victim of human trafficking and drug trafficking." Chu Minghao raised his head from the information and said.
The old man nodded. "Yes, after noticing this, I asked someone to conduct a detailed investigation. I found that in the past five years, the police in City A have received information about the time and place of drug transactions and human trafficking from an unknown person many times, and this unknown person——"
"Is it Bai Shuxing?"
"Yes." The old man nodded. "Although he acted cautiously, he was still young after all, so he made some mistakes. My talents were able to find some clues."
"He was born in a gang, is meticulous, ruthless, but he has a resistance to drug trade and human trafficking. He--" The old man looked at Chu Minghao deeply and said, "He will be the sharpest knife for you to fight these two illegal trades."
"I understand, teacher."
"Public officials must act within the rules and have heavy shackles on their bodies. A beast locked in a cage, even the king of beasts, cannot deter those bloodthirsty hunters. The only thing that can scare them is something more brutal than themselves."
"It's just that..." The old man paused and said, "Everyone has weaknesses. You need to find Bai Shuxing's weakness and control it, so that you can control his sword and avoid being bitten by it."
Chu Minghao's thoughts turned, and he recalled the last words he said after meeting Bai Shuxing in City A:
"Mayor Chu, don't worry, I will use my own way to make City A a forbidden zone for drug trade and human trafficking, as long as I am alive..."
"Mayor Chu, do you really think I won't pull the trigger?" Bai Shuxing looked at the distracted Chu Minghao, tapping the gun lightly with his fingertips, with an obvious threat in his expression.
Chu Minghao came back to his senses, smiled, stretched out his hand to push away the gun pointed at him, and said softly but firmly: "You really can't."
In the teacher's eyes, the ruthless, desireless and unscrupulous Bai Shuxing is like a time bomb.
But in Chu Minghao's opinion, it was just the opposite.
A cold and merciless blade will not get out of control, but a person of flesh and blood will.
Bai Shuxing stared at Chu Minghao for a while, curled his lips, and put away his gun in boredom.
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to remind you. Keep your bottom line and don't be so crazy and kill yourself."
"Publicly, because of your existence, the attrition rate of public servants in City A has gone from being the first in the country to the last now. Privately—" Chu Minghao said meaningfully: "The Chu and Ling families will soon be in-laws, and you are the cousin of my future son-in-law. So, you can try to trust me."
cousin……
Bai Shuxing's mind flashed with the image of his little cousin whose eyes sparkled when he saw him. He glanced at Chu Minghao, stood up from his chair and stretched.
"Okay, I'll follow your instructions, Mayor Chu. I'm leaving now."
As soon as Qin Jiangyue opened her eyes, she groaned because of the burning pain in her back.
"Awake." Bai Shuxing turned off his phone upon hearing the voice, walked to the chair beside the bed and sat down, glanced at Qin Jiangyue's back, and asked, "Does it hurt? Shall I ask the doctor to give you an injection to relieve the pain?"
Qin Jiangyue was lying on the bed. She turned her head and saw Bai Shuxing. She was very surprised: "Why is it you?"
"Who else could it be if not me?" Bai Shuxing yawned, "Aunt is in the next ward watching over your assistant! She should be asleep by now."
Qin Jiangyue glanced out the window when he heard that.
It was pitch black.
I couldn't help but ask, "How long have I been unconscious?"
Bai Shuxing glanced at his phone: "Not long, only 15 and a half hours."
Qin Jiangyue said "Oh" and said nothing more.
"You haven't answered me yet, do you need pain relief?" Bai Shuxing reminded.
"No, it's not as painful as before and I can still bear it." Qin Jiangyue closed his eyes and answered in a low voice.
Bai Shuxing looked at Qin Jiangyue for a while and asked, "Where are your parents? Many people came to see you while you were in a coma, but your parents didn't show up."
Qin Jiangyue still closed her eyes and said without any emotion: "I don't have any parents. I grew up in an orphanage."
Bai Shuxing said "Oh", "No wonder you are so lacking in love."
Qin Jiangyue didn't respond.
The ward was quiet for a while. Qin Jiangyue opened his eyes and looked at Bai Shuxing, asking him, "Do you hate me because of Sister Ling?"
Bai Shuxing did not answer but asked: "So, you hate me because of my aunt?"
Qin Jiangyue chuckled and admitted directly: "Yes, because I am jealous, jealous that you can be so close. But -" Qin Jiangyue paused: "You saved me, I can't hate you anymore."
"Save you?" Bai Shuxing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Don't you blame me for pulling my aunt into the door and leaving you outside?"
"Why blame you?" Qin Jiangyue said nonchalantly, "You and I are not related. It is a favor for you to save me, and it is your duty not to save me."
"Besides, you saved Sister Ling, and I can't thank you enough." Qin Jiangyue said sincerely.
"You care about my aunt? Why? She is just your boss, and she just took office not long ago." Bai Shuxing asked curiously.
Qin Jiangyue's eyes flashed with nostalgia: "I was bullied in the orphanage when I was a child. I was 8 years old at that time. It was Sister Ling who helped me drive away those kids who bullied me. She also gave me candy. That was the first time I tasted sweetness."
"Oh~" Bai Shuxing said in a long voice, "An old and clichéd story of a beautiful woman saving a beautiful man, and then the beautiful man falls in love with the beautiful woman. But I remind you, my aunt is a married woman, you'd better give up this idea."
"No." Qin Jiangyue explained: "I just treat her as a sister and never have any improper thoughts."
"That's fine." Bai Shuxing nodded, "But, sister, don't even think about it. You two can't be brother and sister."
Qin Jiangyue said helplessly: "Hey, you don't have to be so possessive of Sister Ling!"
"Because she is your aunt."
Qin Jiangyue laughed: "I didn't ask you to call me uncle, why do you care so much about being a generation lower than me?"
"She is really your aunt." Bai Shuxing pushed the chair away, squatted in front of the bed, and looked directly into Qin Jiangyue's eyes: "Dear, blood-related aunt."
The smile on Qin Jiangyue's face slowly froze.
Bai Shuxing stood up, took the file bag on the cabinet, took out the documents inside and handed them to Qin Jiangyue: "The kinship test report between you and your aunt."
Qin Jiangyue stared at the last line of words for a long time, then raised his eyes to look at Bai Shuxing.
The two looked at each other.
After a while, Qin Jiangyue's lips moved slightly: "So, you and I——"
"Brothers, brothers from the same mother." Bai Shuxing handed another kinship test result to Qin Jiangyue.
"So, I'm not abandoned?"
"No, you were abducted. Before she died, the last thing my mother told me was to find you."
