After having a big argument with Che Zhenxing, Che Xiaoni felt extremely wronged.
She cried in her room for a long time, but she still couldn't calm down.
Moreover, she's become somewhat dependent on Zhao Zhilang.
When she's unhappy, talking to him will immediately lift her spirits.
After thinking about it, she got up, washed her face, and applied some face cream.
This face cream was a gift from Comrade Zhao.
Comrade Zhao never received any benefits from her; on the contrary, he gave her many nice things.
She didn't believe he was a bad person!
Everyone must have misunderstood him!
Che Zhenxing understood Che Xiaoni; he knew she definitely wouldn't listen.
So he stayed outside the courtyard.
Sure enough, he soon saw Che Xiaoni sneaking out of the house.
He wanted to pull her back, but after thinking about it, he knew that he could keep her in check for a while, but not forever!
So he followed her from a distance, wanting to see how that person had bewitched her!
...
Che Xiaoni was just trying her luck.
Unexpectedly, she saw Zhao Zhilang not long after leaving the brigade.
She quickly jogged over.
Seeing her walk briskly towards the unfamiliar man, Che Zhenxing clenched his fists, hid behind a tree, and watched intently.
The unfamiliar male comrade was wearing a clean Zhongshan suit and glasses.
He smiled when he saw Che Xiaoni.
The two exchanged a few words in hushed tones, when Che Xiaoni suddenly took out a book and shone a flashlight on its contents.
The two whispered to each other for a while, chatting and laughing.
After some time, Che Xiaoni turned and walked home.
Che Zhenxing stared intently at Zhao Zhilang, who remained in place.
After Che Xiaoni walked away, Zhao Zhilang also turned around and walked towards the more desolate riverbank.
Che Zhenxing hesitated for a moment, then followed.
He wanted to know where this person lived and who he was!
Why would you contact his sister?
The riverbank was littered with jagged rocks, and the withered grass grew above knee-high.
Zhao Zhilang walked at a leisurely pace, as if he were taking a stroll.
As Che Zhenxing got closer and closer, doubts began to grow in his mind.
Suddenly, Zhao Zhilang stopped behind a large rock, turned around, and put on a gentle but cold smile.
Che Zhenxing quickly hid behind a tree trunk.
But Zhao Zhilang suddenly spoke up, his voice calm, "Comrade Che Zhenxing, you've been following me for so long, you must be tired. If there's anything you need, feel free to come out and say it directly."
"!!" Che Zhenxing was shocked. How did this person know who he was?
Now that he had been exposed, he simply came out of his hiding place and faced Zhao Zhilang directly.
His eyes were wary and firm. "How do you know me? And why are you contacting my sister? What is your purpose? Since you're from the provincial capital, what brings you to our small production brigade?"
Hearing his questions, Zhao Zhilang still wore that gentle smile and said calmly, "Xiaoni mentioned you to me. You are her only brother, so naturally I have to get to know you. As for why I am here, I believe Xiaoni mentioned it to you, but you just didn't believe it!"
Che Zhenxing's eyes remained wary. "Comrade Zhao, I don't care if you're an official at the provincial cultural center or not, just stay away from my sister, Che Xiaoni! We don't want to have anything to do with you!"
"Oh?" Zhao Zhilang pushed up his glasses, his gaze behind the lenses turning icy. "Why? Xiaoni and I are revolutionary friends, exchanging ideas and learning from each other, making progress together. As her older brother, aren't you meddling too much?"
Perhaps sensing the man's gentle and harmless demeanor, Che Zhenxing took a step closer, lowering his voice with a hint of threat, "Stop giving me that nonsense! You know your own background perfectly well!"
I'm warning you, if I find you getting close to Xiaoni again, don't blame me for being ruthless! This is Dahewan Production Brigade, not a place where you can play tricks! Don't come here again!
"What if I genuinely want to become friends with Comrade Che Xiaoni?"
“That works too!” Che Zhenxing held out his hand. “Show me your ID and your letter of introduction. If you’re sincere, I’ll welcome you to come in the future.”
"Oh... I don't have it on me. How about this, let's meet here at this time tomorrow, and I'll show it to you."
Che Zhenxing narrowed his eyes. "Alright, see you tomorrow night then."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The moment he turned around, the smile on Zhao Zhilang's face vanished completely, and his eyes turned as sinister as a venomous snake.
He quickly scanned his surroundings, confirming that it was deserted, and then swiftly pulled a gleaming, pen-shaped spike from his sleeve, lunging at Che Zhenxing at lightning speed!
Upon hearing the noise, Che Zhenxing immediately turned around to be on guard.
But the other party's actions were ruthless and professional, far exceeding his expectations.
The two instantly began wrestling on the rocky beach.
The fight was extremely fierce.
Che Zhenxing is from a herding family and is quite strong.
But Zhao Zhilang was clearly specially trained, and every move he made was deadly.
The spikes narrowly missed the vital parts of the car several times.
In the chaos, Che Zhenxing caught a glimpse of a special metal badge, extremely well-hidden and unlike anything an ordinary cadre would wear, which Zhao Zhilang had lifted under his shirt due to the violent movement!
At that moment, Che Zhenxing felt as if he had been struck by lightning. In the gap between his blocks, he screamed, "You! You're a special..."
Before the word "spy" could even be uttered, Zhao Zhilang's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Seizing the fatal flaw of Che Zhenxing's distraction, he plunged the sharp dagger in his hand deep into Che Zhenxing's chest!
A sharp pain struck, and Che Zhenxing felt all his strength drain away instantly. He fell heavily to the ground, and blood quickly stained his cotton-padded coat.
