47 Returning Echoes | Something Happened to Jiang Yu
Lin Weifeng sat in the car and waited for a while for the WeChat message, but obviously he didn't get it.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony had just ended, and she pushed the door open, got out of the car and walked to the scene.
Su Tian locked onto her through the crowd and asked from a distance, "Lawyer Lin, are you feeling better?"
"Much better."
He walked over quickly, smiling like an old friend: "Surprised? You see it's me."
Lin Weifeng smiled and nodded: "A little bit."
"I'm not backstabbing my colleagues, let me make that clear."
"Officer Su, there's no need to joke like that."
Su Tian smiled, paused for a moment, and said, "He...will not be working for Interpol in the short term."
Lin Weifeng didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Su Tian said: "Someone anonymously reported that he was colluding with the Miao Group."
Lin Weifeng's pupils trembled, and a gust of cool wind leaked out from the scarf that was wrapped tightly around her.
"That's impossible."
Su Tian stated the current situation expressionlessly: "Now... we have to investigate. This is the procedure."
"Didn't you go abroad with him?"
"We went together, but he didn't come back with me. I couldn't help him."
Lin Weifeng's brows suddenly furrowed, and she instinctively resisted the news.
She looked down at the dialog box, and of course—Jiang Yu hadn't replied.
Lin Weifeng believed that her trust in Jiang Yu was not illogical. She tried hard to recall what he had said and done. She privately thought that Jiang Yu must have given her information at some point that she had ignored.
Is it the phrase "a good guy with a little bit of bad side"?
Is it the sentence "If I were a bad person"?
She wasn't sure.
But there must be.
She returned home with a confused mind, and the page on her phone remained on the chat box with him, even though there was no movement.
Whether he was on duty or on a plane, there must be a reason.
For the first time, Lin Weifeng had a hunch that Jiang Yu had encountered something and could not respond to her.
She returned home, still injured after all. She was exhausted and dizzy, and couldn't even stand up straight when changing her shoes.
However, the first time I walked into the living room, I unexpectedly discovered that there was another row of people sitting on the sofa, mostly men.
This familiar memory made her subconsciously look...
Sadly, he is not there.
Lin Haidong stood up and said to Lin Weifeng, "My daughter, your uncle Wen and his family are here with his son to go on a blind date with you."
Lin Weifeng was slow to react at this moment, and his face showed some reaction very slowly, although it was awkward and inappropriate.
"Hello, uncle and aunt," Lin Weifeng greeted politely first, then changed his shoes and asked in confusion, "Are you looking for me for a blind date?"
"Have you forgotten that Dad signed you up for today's blind date?"
"Oh, I didn't forget, I just didn't go..." Lin Weifeng felt that he was too indifferent, so he said tactfully, "I went to work. Lawyer Jin had something urgent to talk to me about this morning."
"Dad doesn't blame you," Lin Haidong smiled. "Wenling knew you were going on a blind date and wanted to take this opportunity to meet you. But when he found out you didn't show up that morning, he called his dad and came to propose marriage."
Wenling is Uncle Wen’s son.
Lin Weifeng looked at Wen Ling thoughtfully. Wen Ling was a respectable man, so he immediately stood up and bowed slightly.
At this time, Uncle Wen also stood up, wanted to shake hands with Lin Haidong, and said, "Old Lin, since your daughter is getting married, we are sorry to bother you today."
Lin Weifeng’s inner thoughts: Ah?
Lin Haidong said, "Well, it's the children's own decision. I don't know."
"Children are like that. When they get stubborn, we parents can only play along." Uncle Wen said with a polite smile, "My child is the same. He said he won't date anyone until he gets married. I finally got interested in your daughter based on the news, but it's not enough."
"Don't say that. Xiao Wen is handsome and successful in his career. It's us, Wei Feng, who can't reach him."
"You just told us that Breeze has found his own happiness, which is what we want to see. My son doesn't have this blessing." The other party said modestly.
Lin Haidong exchanged a few pleasantries, chatted with them for a while, and then sent them home.
Lin Weifeng was confused the whole time, following Lin Haidong's shadow and standing behind him.
Before leaving, Wenling asked Lin Weifeng to leave his WeChat ID.
"Lawyer Lin, they say it's best to have lawyers, doctors, and teachers in your circle of friends. You're a lawyer, and I'm a doctor. I don't think you'll deliberately reject my request."
They have all come to her house, and now everyone is staring at her. Lin Weifeng can't just ignore it.
She opened the QR code and said, "Not really. It's also good to read the popular science articles posted by the doctor."
Wenling said casually: "Stay away from 'tangtang lie scald' on weekdays, it is more useful than popular science."
Lin Weifeng smiled at everyone, but didn't bow because he still had an injury on his back.
As soon as the door closed, she immediately grabbed Lin Haidong's arm and asked, "Dad, when am I getting married?"
Lin Haidong pointed to the sofa and said, "The wedding dress is on the sofa, everyone can see it."
Lin Weifeng again: Ah?
She has been at home these days, recovering from her injuries, saving both worry and energy. She would rather lie down than stand, and today is her first day as a normal person.
Only then did she remember that Gu Chengxiu had already told her that Sun Zhengxiao had sent her the dress with a veil.
Lin Weifeng kicked her feet and quickly walked to the sofa, saying cunningly as she walked: "Dad, you must have made a mistake. This is a bridesmaid dress."
But when I took off the dress...
It is a moon-white short-sleeved cheongsam made of soft satin.
The chin is slightly raised, and mother-of-pearl buttons snake all the way to the waist. The collar and cuffs are trimmed with a circle of extremely fine lace, which is studded with small beads of the same size.
The waist is exquisitely fitted, and the hem of the cheongsam is "grafted" with the Western-style skirt. The overall look is indeed a fusion of Chinese and Western wedding dress styles.
“…”
Lin Haidong was tidying up the tea set by the coffee table, and he kindly reminded her, "Actually, Wenling is not bad either. He's already an attending physician in cardiothoracic surgery at the age of 30, and a postdoctoral fellow at Jingjiang University. So, we're half alumni."
Lin Weifeng said, "People don't just like someone based on their wealth. Besides, can a doctor and a lawyer really start a family? Neither of them can go home."
"Is Xiao Jiang free to go home?"
“…”
Indeed, he couldn't even reply to WeChat messages.
Lin Haidong was still listing the advantages of Wenling, but not a word he said reached Lin Weifeng's ears.
She took advantage of her father's breath and whispered, "Dad, something happened to Jiang Yu."
The teacup in Lin Haidong's hand suddenly stopped, and water droplets rolled down the rim of the cup.
Lin Weifeng's eyes were fixed, as if he was talking to himself: "Even the external contact person of Interpol Liaison Office has been replaced by Su Tian."
Lin Haidong looked at his daughter's distracted appearance, and his heart softened. He said in a calm tone: "The 'accidents' that you are informed of are usually not the real collapse of the world."
Lin Weifeng's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had caught a piece of driftwood: "Dad, you also believe in Jiang Yu, right?"
Lin Haidong put the teacup back on the tray and sighed softly: "Why should I trust him? I don't even know what happened to him. Now I'm not his teacher, I'm just your father."
"Dad..." Her voice was as soft as a puddle of water, as if all her powerlessness was melted into this call.
"I can only do what a father should do," Lin Haidong said with a bitter meaning, "The original intention of signing you up for blind dates was to let you see more."
Lin Weifeng really didn't want to talk more about the topic of blind dates. His thoughts suddenly turned to the misunderstanding he had just heard, and he explained, "I've strayed from the topic, Dad. Jiang Yu and I are not planning to get married right away."
Lin Haidong looked at her doubtfully.
He was not at home when the dress was delivered, and Gu Chengxiu did not mention it to him, so he really didn't know what was going on.
Lin Weifeng said: "He hasn't confessed his feelings in the territory yet."
Lin Haidong stood there holding the teapot and sighed silently.
I don't understand what young people are saying...
At this point, Lin Weifeng hurriedly sent a WeChat message to Sun Zhengxiao: [When you said I'd help you, did I mean help you get married?]
Sun Zhengxiao had already arrived in the Kingdom of Ryukyu, confined in a courtyard to repair the "Framed Painting of Ladies." Upon seeing the news, he immediately let out a dozen "haha" sounds and said, "Just thought of that."
Lin Weifeng frowned: [The bridal gown was sent to the bridesmaid on purpose?]
Sun Zhengxiao: [Well, isn't that a great plan B? Otherwise, the penalty would be tens of thousands.]
Lin Weifeng: [……]
Sun Zhengxiao: [Think about it. I've lost contact with my family, so even if it's a wedding, no one will come. And as for Song Ze's family, aside from a few select relatives, the only people who can come to the wedding to wish us well are the same people as Uncle Lin and Aunt Gu's circle of friends. Those present can't wish me well, so they can wish you well!]
Lin Weifeng: [You're so willing to let me stand next to your husband? What are you thinking?]
Sun Zhengxiao: [How could I bear to do that?]
Lin Weifeng: [? ]
Sun Zhengxiao:
【Of course you stand with the best man.】
[Song Ze, he took a wedding leave to be with me.]
For the first time, Lin Weifeng felt that the world was so absurd that he couldn't even type with his fingertips.
Seeing she didn't reply, Sun Zhengxiao said seriously, "Thanks to you, our online store is doing really well. A garden wedding doesn't cost much, so don't worry. Just think of it as me treating you to a cosplay game."
Lin Weifeng, with a dark complexion, walked into the room and lay on the bed.
She gave in feebly and replied: [Are you sure you can contact the best man?]
Sun Zhengxiao said: [When Song Ze sent the dress, he said he would go.]
Yeah.
Lin Weifeng didn't say anything else. She clicked on the "Bully Can Receive" dialog box. The page was silent. She couldn't help but wonder, will he really come?
In the evening, Lin Weifeng sat by the windowsill and completed the "Legal Opinion on Compensation and Protection of Cultural Relics" in the administrative case. When he was checking for typos for the last time, his computer ran out of power.
She got up to look for the charger and immediately saw the bouquet of hyacinths on the bedside table.
It has been a while since I brought it back from Nandun. The wounds on my body have healed a little, but the fragrance of the hyacinth flowers has become weaker, and it is visibly about to wither.
Next to the glass bottle was her jewelry box. Among the dazzling array of small things, there lay a key. It was the key to her apartment that Jiang Yu had given her.
She carried it away.
It happened that the flower and bird market was closing, so Lin Weifeng bought a bunch of Ophiopogon japonicus, a plant that accompanies the blooming and falling of hyacinths.
She held it in her arms and walked to No. 71 Yuhua Road. Seeing that it was still Uncle Liu on duty in the security room, she took the initiative to greet him.
Uncle Liu remembered her, stood up, opened the window, waved, and said, "Little girl, are you looking for Officer Jiang?"
Lin Weifeng knew that Jiang Yu was not at home, so he shook his head: "He is not at home."
"Yes, I haven't been back for several days." Uncle Liu smiled.
"I came to see if his room was wet from yesterday's rain."
Uncle Liu didn't ask any questions, pressed the electronic switch and opened a small door.
The elevator worked normally today, and Lin Weifeng arrived at his place quickly.
She walked in holding Maidong, and sure enough, she immediately saw that the window at the end of the living room balcony was half open, and the damp wind after the rain blew the corners of the curtains up and down.
Gently pressing the light switch, the silent gray-green room brightened up.
Looking down at the shoe rack by the door, I saw two pairs of women's slippers on the top, one velvet pair and one plastic pair.
It seems that her arrival had been predicted long ago, or rather, had been anticipated.
