Zhu Jin has truly integrated into this era. Like everyone else, she is always looking at her cell phone and has become dependent on it for the first time.
If it were in the past, Chonglou would be happy about this change, and would feel that Zhu Jin was no longer living in her own world and was out of tune with the outside world. However, now he couldn't be happy, because he knew that Zhu Jin was always paying attention to the news because she was afraid that his news video would be exposed.
Chonglou's eyes were fixed on Zhu Jin's sleeping face. After being woken up late at night and not sleeping all night, Zhu Jin finally fell asleep in the afternoon after Chonglou consciously coaxed her to stop watching the news. Unfortunately, Zhu Jin was restless and frowned in her sleep, as if she was experiencing something painful. Chonglou's eyes were dark, and the anger that he had been suppressing could no longer be suppressed.
The guards standing guard outside the living room felt their scalps go numb. When they came in alertly, they only saw Chonglou. Their doubtful eyes fell on Chonglou. Chonglou raised his head and gave them a cold look, then raised his hand and stroked Zhu Jin's head silently, with infinite tenderness.
The guard retreated with an embarrassed expression, and Zhu Jin slowly regained his composure.
Chonglou helped her pull the blanket again, finally stood up, and went to Zhu Jin's study to deal with the current matter. He came out from time to time to check on Zhu Jin, and went back in when he saw that she was still sleeping. The guards who stood guard in the living room looked at each other from time to time, and they didn't know whether they should be happy for Zhu Jin or sad that they were not trusted.
When Chonglou came out to look back, Zhu Jin finally woke up and screamed, "Chonglou, be careful..." No one knew what she dreamed about, her voice was full of panic, and she immediately sat up.
Chonglou ran over immediately after hearing her voice. When he got closer, Zhu Jin had already jumped off the sofa barefoot and threw herself into his arms. The panic and fear in her eyes made Chonglou's heart shrink.
Zhu Jin could understand his past, and even said that those people's choices were understandable and natural, but it could not stop the worry and fear deep in her heart.
Chonglou hugged Zhu Jin tightly and moved clumsily along her back. Seeing her feet on the ground, he quickly picked her up and put her on the sofa. He held Zhu Jin, who was silent and slowing her breathing but holding him tightly, with one hand, and patted her feet with the other hand.
"Did you have a nightmare?"
"Yeah." Zhu Jin nodded, but didn't say what nightmare she had.
After agreeing, I immediately opened my phone to check the news. After reading it carefully, I found that the only news was about my absence on the first day of class, so I relaxed.
"Don't be nervous. He will definitely save this trump card for last. He won't really announce it now." Chonglou advised, thinking that Zhu Jin didn't accept the threat and went to the hospital in the end, and he didn't know how disappointed that person was.
Chonglou had never seen this man who had been making trouble behind his back, but he gradually understood his character. He was paranoid, crazy, vicious, but also extremely arrogant, just like Qu Mai who died on his operating table. Now this 'Qu Mai' must want to have fun threatening him and Zhu Jin. Unfortunately, he would not give him the chance.
"That's great. It gives us some time." Zhu Jin left Chonglou's embrace and nodded, "We have to resolve this threat as soon as possible, otherwise we won't have a peaceful life."
"Well, don't worry, it will be resolved as soon as possible." Chonglou nodded, "I survived that situation before, and I'm not afraid now, don't worry, I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you would worry, go to school tomorrow and study peacefully, and do what you have to do with peace of mind."
"Well, but you need to have a thorough checkup every year, and don't neglect your recuperation." Zhu Jin hesitated for a moment, looked into Chonglou's eyes, and nodded slowly.
"Don't worry about that." Chonglou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhu Jin nod.
After a while, Fuling rushed to Zhu Jin's house and reported her feat of tracking down all the suspicious networks and installing the virus she invented. Then she began to tinker with Zhu Jin and Chonglou's mobile phones, even those of her bodyguard sister and aunt. After tinkering with the mobile phones, she also tinkered with the defense system of Zhu Jin's house.
She was so busy that her eyes turned red. She was muttering and cursing at the intruder who dared to challenge her authority, but she didn't know that the people she had slandered had already started cursing at them.
Fuling's wide-ranging attack, no matter how cunning the intruder was, was eventually tricked. Looking at the computer paralyzed by the virus, it took him a long time to react, and he laughed and cursed. When he couldn't get rid of the virus for a while, he took out the backup computer to continue attacking Zhu Jin's phone, but found that the backup computer was also infected and paralyzed.
The cursing turned into laughter.
Fuling is not as good as the intruder in attacking, but she is the most talented in defense and virus. She made Zhu Jin and Chong Lou's mobile phones almost invulnerable. If they want to hack into them, they must pass her numerous virus tests.
Fuling was busy until dark. She was so smug that she had no idea that someone was almost driven crazy by her. She was enjoying the meal that Zhu Jin prepared for her personally, with her mouth full of oil.
"Yeah, good, good. My hard work today is worth tens of thousands at least. Since you're an old friend, Dr. Zhu Jin, I'll just eat a few dozen of your meals." He was so happy that he kept talking. Zhu Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard him.
"What the young lady cooks is so delicious. I can't make it taste this good." Auntie chimed in, and Fuling became even happier.
"That's why it's valuable! Whenever she does it herself, please contact me, Auntie. I've saved my number for you." Fuling began to win over her aunt.
"You're dreaming!" Chonglou snorted coldly, thinking, if Fuling was a man, he would definitely teach him a lesson! The happy atmosphere diluted the impact of the video threat, and Zhu Jin returned to normal.
But before Chonglou left, she couldn't help but remind him to be careful, "Although you now control their lifeline, you still have to pay attention to safety and be extremely careful."
Chonglou pinched Zhu Jin's ear and said, "I know. I've been born and died so many times. Now I just want to live."
Seeing Zhu Jin avoiding his hand, Chonglou's hand froze and his eyes darkened, but he quickly withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened and continued, "Zhu Jin, you have to believe me." Since she could accept him with blood on his hands, she must believe him, and only him.
Chonglou waited until Zhu Jin nodded before turning around and leaving.
Zhu Jin watched the car disappear before slowly returning home.
A year ago, she could never have imagined that Chonglou's journey would experience such a past. If she had known, she would never have let him go, even if she was called selfish or cold-blooded.
The Interstellar Criminal Base is a cursed planet. If you stay there for a long time, ten or eight years, some organs in your body will degenerate and become diseased, and any part of your body may slowly lose its function. In an era when medicine is advanced and artificial organs are becoming more and more perfect, this is not a big deal. However, when artificial organs completely lose their function in the base, it becomes a big deal.
People who stay in the base for a long time must undergo a transplant surgery if they want to survive.
Transplanting artificial organs is useless in the base. This is the biggest secret of the base. Only some people in the base know it. The number of artificial organs purchased by the base every year has only increased, and the number of prisoners who died accidentally during their sentences has also increased. From dozens to hundreds of people disappearing every year, it just so happens that among the tens of thousands of prisoners in the base, the strange deaths of hundreds of people are not a big deal. The prison will have irregular physical examinations every year. After the physical examinations, the fate of some people in the following year is doomed.
The physical examination form that made Chonglou decide to go to the base was the culprit of everything.
When the planet with a bad environment was chosen as the interstellar base for serious criminals, no one knew that this planet was special. It was not until decades later that the truth was revealed. When it was revealed, it also meant that the base had formed its own way of dealing with it.
The Interstellar Alliance had spent a huge amount of money on building the base, and it involved too many things. When they discovered something was not right, no one dared to make it public, and it was delayed until it helped cover up the problems of the base, and it was covered up for many years.
Most of the doctors who survived and trained in the base later improved their medical skills, and many of them became great doctors. Over time, the base became a place for many doctors to gain experience. A small number of doctors who came to the base became like Chonglou. Once they were forced to start performing real operations, it was very difficult for them to leave.
Back then, Chonglou tried his best to take Baisui, who was protected by him and knew nothing, away, but in the end he returned to the base because of her and Laomu.
Chonglou, who noticed the abnormality at that time, thought something might happen, but he never imagined that the prison surveillance network had been completely controlled by someone. Everything seemed normal to the outside world at the base, but things were already in chaos inside. The base was truly turned into a hell by someone's secret manipulation, and Chonglou stepped into it just like that.
Zhu Jin didn't know how Chonglou survived that period, nor did she know how he replied to her message under such circumstances. Chonglou told her about the situation at the base, but didn't say these.
She just understood why Chonglou's health was so poor half a year ago.
Zhu Jin used to be happy when thinking of Chonglou, but now he always feels distressed and heavy when thinking of Chonglou. In the past, he only thought that he was good at medicine and had a natural talent, but now he knows that his medical skills were honed through blood and life.
Countless surgeries have made him a master of medicine, allowing him to turn the tide and change the most unfavorable situation for himself. Chonglou was able to return to the Blue Water Planet and appear in front of him because he broke the curse in the base that required human organ transplants to be effective.
“…No matter how much I have done before, I only know that I will save countless people.” Zhu Jin always remembered the way Chonglou said this, explaining it so seriously, explaining why he could still smile.
"I didn't fight against the power of the Interstellar Alliance behind the base, nor could I find the reason why people in the base would become seriously ill. In the end, I turned my attention to the artificial organs that were purchased and destroyed year after year. I experimented countless times and finally found a solution that is unique in the world. As long as they are processed by me, those artificial organs will be able to function, and even if they fail in ten or twenty years, they can continue to be operated on to save lives."
Because of this, Chonglou went from being a dying man to a doctor who no one in the base dared to offend and could give them a second or third life. Later, Baibi, who had already participated in the operation, and Laomu, who almost lost his life, were also able to survive in the end.
He saved his life, and controlled the life and death of the base, the power of the base, and the interstellar alliance behind the base. Chonglou had eaten everything he could. In this way, Chonglou's power had already exceeded what Zhu Jin knew. Although the mastermind had not been found yet, and the danger that came with the power of the base was unknown when it would break out, Chonglou still wanted Zhu Jin to believe him.
I believe he will protect her at all costs.
What he wanted was for her to be at peace and happy by his side.
