The moonlight was slightly cold. Shi Jin leaned against the sofa by the window, staring at the progress bar of Lian Jun in his mind, feeling depressed and dazed.
What is Lian Jun doing now? Is he asleep?
He thought, holding the satellite phone in his hand, but he didn't call back.
Xiao Si was puzzled and said, "Jin Jin, if you miss Bao Bao, you can call him directly. Bao Bao must be thinking about you too."
"I know, but what if he is resting? It will disturb him." Shi Jin replied, and then noticed that Lian Jun's progress bar suddenly dropped by 1 point. After being stunned for a moment, he sat up straight, and after repeatedly confirming that the progress bar really dropped by one point, he exclaimed in surprise.
Ever since Lian Jun fell into a long coma, his progress bar has been stuck at 500, and it has only gone up and never dropped below 500. But now, the progress bar that he wanted to drag to zero has turned to 499!
What does this prove? It proves that Lian Jun's health is getting better! Although it is only 1 point, it is definitely getting better below the danger line! Shi Jin
couldn't help it anymore, picked up the phone and dialed Uncle Long's number skillfully. After confirming that Lian Jun was awake, he turned to Lian Jun's number.
The call was answered in seconds, and Shi Jin held the phone, because he was too excited, he couldn't speak for a while.
"How was the meeting today? Did anyone give you any trouble?"
Lian Jun's gentle voice came over. It was like a curse was broken. Shi Jin breathed a sigh of relief and replied happily: "It went smoothly. No one gave me any trouble. What about you? Did you sleep too much today? Did you eat well?"
"No, I ate all three meals well and watched TV in the afternoon."
Lian Jun's voice sounded much stronger than the last time they talked. Shi Jin was overjoyed and continued to ask: "What did Uncle Long say? Can you... can you maintain your current condition? Are there any new symptoms?"
"No, the active period of the toxin has passed. Uncle Long said that there will be no new symptoms. How about you, did you eat and sleep well on the ship?" Shi Jin
remembered that his daily routine had been messed up since he got on the ship, and changed the subject with a guilty conscience and asked: "Lian Jun, can we switch to video call? I want to see you."
Lian Jun was silent for a while, and then replied: "Sorry, no, it's a bit inconvenient for me now."
If it's inconvenient, it must be that he is receiving treatment, or his physical condition does not look good, so it is not easy to answer the video.
Shi Jin's mood calmed down again, and he responded softly.
"Ring." Lian Jun suddenly spoke.
Shi Jin was stunned: "What?"
"I like the ring you gave me very much." Lian Jun's voice was mixed with laughter, and he said, "I want to see you put it on me yourself." Shi Jin
looked at the ring on his hand, smiled, and said, "After the meeting, I will put it on you again after I go back... It's very late, you should go to bed early, good night."
"Good night."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Jin looked at the phone and sighed reluctantly - he really wanted to go back to see Lian Jun...
"Jinjin! Baby's progress bar is still dropping steadily! 498!" Xiao Si suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"What?" Shi Jin was shocked and looked at the progress bar in his mind. After discovering that Lian Jun's progress bar had indeed turned to 498, he stood up and turned around in circles on the spot excitedly and happily, "What's going on? Why is it always going down? Has Uncle Long developed a new treatment method? Is Lian Jun getting better soon?"
Xiao Si also looked like he was about to go crazy with joy and responded loudly, "Of course! Baby is getting better!"
The man and the system had a silly and meaningless conversation, and then Shi Jin rushed into the bathroom to take a shower and threw himself on the bed.
"It's already 497 now... Go to bed early, maybe when you wake up, Lian Jun's progress bar will have dropped to 400... Go to sleep!" Shi Jin took a deep breath and suppressed the desire to continue staring at the progress bar, forcing himself to close his eyes and force himself to fall asleep with beautiful expectations.
...
On the other side, on the island.
Lian Jun put down his phone with a pale face, and finally couldn't help but groaning in pain.
Uncle Long stood aside with a frown, and couldn't help saying, "Why are you doing this? Can't you just treat it slowly? Why do you have to use instruments? Although this thing can stimulate the remaining toxins in your body as quickly as possible and then quickly eliminate them with medicine, the process is too torturous and puts a great burden on your body. I got this for you to thoroughly detoxify and consolidate the therapeutic effects of the medicine in the future, not for you to torture yourself like this now..."
"It's okay, Doctor Shao also said that it's okay for me to use this now, and it's not too uncomfortable." Lian Jun argued, with cold sweat all over his head and body, and he was not convincing at all.
Shao Jianping carefully adjusted the value of the instrument and said, "Mr. Lian, please stop talking, keep your strength, hold on, and don't faint."
Lian Jun quickly closed his mouth and adjusted his breathing, frowning and trying to hold back.
Uncle Long was annoyed. Although he knew rationally that Lian Jun could use this instrument now, as a parent who watched Lian Jun grow up, he was more inclined to let Lian Jun use conservative and long-term treatment methods, so that he could suffer less.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Shao Jianping, with veins popping out on his forehead. It's all Shao Jianping's fault. He always likes to play big and often tells Lian Jun some weird things! Are all doctors outside like this? They listen to the patients in everything. How can they treat diseases like this!
As if he had received his resentful light wave, Shao Jianping suddenly turned his head to look at him and said, "Doctor Long, maintaining the patient's mental health is also part of the treatment. Your concern is out of control."
Uncle Long was so angry that his face twitched. He held his breath and did not reply. He turned around and left the ward irritably.
...
When he got up early, Shi Jin was disappointed to find that Lian Jun's progress bar had only dropped to 490, which was a far cry from the 400 he expected. But he quickly cheered up and started to clean himself up - it doesn't matter, a drop means it's getting better! Take your time, take your time, Lian Jun's body is destined to be slowly nurtured, and there is no rush.
The content of the meeting on the second day was relatively light-hearted. It was to discuss and analyze the current situation of all illegal violent organizations in the country. Shi Jin once again entered the meeting room with a large pile of information. After sitting down, he buried his head in the information.
The leaders of each family silently moved their eyes over, looked at him, and then looked at the information in his hand, their hearts itching.
What exactly is the content of the information that Fei Yujing found out? They were so curious that if possible, they even wanted to go around and take a peek.
Lu Shan, the only one who had the conditions to peek, noticed everyone's situation. Thinking of the call with Shi Jin yesterday, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she couldn't help rolling her eyes in her heart - stupid leaders of organizations, they didn't even know that Shi Jin had fooled them. The information in Shi Jin's hand was indeed data, but it was not the kind of data they thought, but basic introduction data of major organizations and their leaders. Shi Jin was recognizing people and familiarizing himself with the basic situation of each organization on the spot.
Shi Jin just did something that all novices would do, and he even did it worse than most novices. He only remembered to familiarize himself with the enemy's situation when he was on the battlefield, but those seniors made all kinds of nervous guesses because Shi Jin said something that seemed to be true to Fei Yujing...
I can't think about it, I feel like laughing if I think about it again.
Lu Shan covered the lower half of her face, pretending to be disgusted with Shi Jin, and turned her head away.
The meeting started on time. Zhang Zhuoyuan first pointed out the major illegal violent organizations that have been active in the country this year, explaining their profiles and evil deeds one by one, and then began to encourage the leaders of the legal organizations present to come up and take on the task and help the official to get rid of these malignant organizations.
Some of the leaders of the organizations below responded, some pretended to be stupid, some tried to catch the fat fish and get the benefits, and some wanted to push their enemies out to die. Everyone had their own calculations. Shi Jin watched everyone's reactions with his peripheral vision, raised his hand to cover the information in his hand, leaned back in his chair and started playing with his mobile phone.
Zhang Zhuoyuan: "..." You might as well go to sleep!
Meng Qing, who was sitting opposite him, could not help but
speak up when he saw this. He said, "Deputy Chief Shi, suppressing and eliminating illegal violent organizations is also one of our obligations. Isn't it not good for you to do this?" Shi Jin kept working, looked up at him, and said, "It's not good, but to be honest, I have just been the deputy chief of Mie for a short time. Lian Jun has not had time to tell me in detail about Mie's attitude towards illegal organizations. So in order to avoid saying too much and making more mistakes, I have to do this. But don't worry, Lian Jun will contact Director Zhang separately about this part later. Mie has never forgotten his obligations."
Contact separately.
Everyone held the word "separately" and thought deeply.
Meng Qing nodded and said, "So that's how it is. It seems that Deputy Leader Shi is only in charge of some of Mie's affairs."
"Well, after all, I'm still a student and have to go to school. I don't have much time to help Lian Jun with work." Shi Jin replied casually, frowning and muttering, "In fact, I came to this year's meeting after class. I didn't even go to report. Maybe Lian Jun won't let me come next year."
Huh? Student? After class?
The leaders of the organization were a little stupid - how many years have they not heard of student and after class, two daily words representing the normal world? Ten years? Twenty years?
No, no, that's not the point. The point is that if Shi Jin is still a student, then as long as they find out which school Shi Jin is studying in, they can have a detailed grasp of his movements for at least half a year? This is great news! A deputy leader with a fixed whereabouts is much easier to investigate and deal with than a deputy leader with an erratic whereabouts!
Meng Qing didn't expect Shi Jin to reveal his information so easily, he looked him up and down, and continued the conversation tentatively: "Judging from Deputy Chief Shi's age, he should be in college. I heard that Deputy Chief Shi grew up in Country M. As far as I know, the school in Country M..." Shi Jin
waved his hands quickly and said, "No, no, I went to school in China, majoring in police--"
"Cough cough cough cough!" Zhang Zhuoyuan suddenly coughed violently, making the information in his hand clatter while coughing, and said loudly, "Everyone be quiet and concentrate on the meeting. Don't talk during the meeting." Shi Jin
stopped pressing the phone, as if he realized that he was talking too much. He frowned and glanced at Meng Qing, turned sideways, lowered his head and continued to play with his phone.
Meng Qing glanced at Zhang Zhuoyuan, who was obviously trying to stop Shi Jin from speaking, and thought about the word "jing" that Shi Jin said at the end, and glanced at Qi Yun.
Qi Yun understood and made a phone call gesture.
The morning meeting ended smoothly. After lunch, Meng Qing and Qi Yun had a phone call.
"Is it the word jing?"
"I heard the word jing too. It's not the jing in economy, nor the jin in finance, but the jing."
"Could it be the jing in landscape?"
"If it was the Jing in Jingguan, Zhang Zhuoyuan would not have reacted that way."
The two were silent, and then they spoke in unison: "This Shi Jin has a big problem/there is a problem."
The two were stunned, and there was silence for a few seconds, and then Meng Qing spoke first and asked, "What do you think?"
Qi Yun replied: "According to the information currently known, this Shi Jin's background includes: the young master of Ruixing, the younger brother of Colonel Xiang, and the employer or relative of Fei Yujing. He has too many chips in his hands and can bring There are too many benefits for Lian Jun. From our point of view, his appearance is not good. "
Meng Qing said: "We must first determine the nature of the school that Shi Jin attends. At this juncture, it is not appropriate to further deepen the relationship with the official."
Qi Yun pondered and asked: "Old Meng, do you think Shi Jin deliberately revealed this information to attract our attention and ignore Lian Jun? Is there any other hidden reason why Lian Jun did not attend the meeting this year?"
"For example?"
"For example, it's not that Lian Jun doesn't want to attend the meeting, but that he can't come. Lian Jun's health has not been good. The fact that he is sick may be true, and it may be a bit serious. Shi Jin is a decoy that Lian Jun deliberately put forward to cover up his own situation."
Meng Qing frowned and said, "I have thought about this possibility, but no matter whether it is a decoy or not, the things revealed by Shi Jin are always true. With Shi Jin's background, even if Lian Jun really gets into trouble, Mie's strength will not weaken in a short time. If Shi Jin is really a person in the system, then without Lian Jun, Mie may even be truly accepted by the official and become stronger. From this point of view, it is more beneficial to us if Lian Jun is not in trouble than if he is."
Qi Yun was silent, frowning and thinking.
"Zhang Zhuoyuan's attitude towards Shi Jin is also suspicious. He is too protective. I am more worried about one possibility now."
"What possibility?" "
Suppose Shi Jin is a person planted by the government next to Lian Jun, with the purpose of infiltrating from the inside to destroy Mie, and the government has already successfully infiltrated, and is now trying to change the regime for Mie..."
Qi Yun understood what he meant, his expression sank, and said: "Infiltrating from the inside does seem like something the government would do, but would Lian Jun be so stupid? Falling on a young man?"
"Heroes are hard to resist the temptation of beauty, and Lian Jun is still young." Meng Qing pondered for a few seconds and said, "It's useless to speculate too much. Let's wait and see what happens. I will contact Lu Shan to see if she can get anything out of Shi Jin."
Qi Yun responded, hung up the phone, looked through the window in the direction of the official ship, frowned and thought.
...
In the afternoon, as soon as the meeting started, Shi Jin used the documents as a cushion and fell asleep on the conference table.
Lu Shan, who was ordered by Meng Qing to ask questions: "..."
Meng Qing, who was ready to observe the relationship between Shi Jin and Zhang Zhuoyuan: "..."
Qi Yun, who was ready to find an opportunity to talk to Shi Jin and ask questions: "..." Shi Jin
slept for the whole afternoon, and did not move at all, like a corpse, until Zhang Zhuoyuan announced the end of the meeting. He sat up straight, picked up the documents, and was the first to get up and leave the conference room.
The other leaders looked at him with a look of astonishment. Qi Yun stood up and hurried over to ask Shi Jin to have a meal and to spy on the enemy. As soon as he got closer, he saw Xiang Aoting coming towards Shi Jin. The first thing he said was, "I have asked my old comrades in the police academy. Students who are absent from the training due to missions can also count their credits and it will not affect their graduation. Don't worry." Shi
Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good. I thought I had to make up credits, but I missed the first intensive training in college. It's a pity."
Xiang Aoting comforted him, "It's okay. There will be opportunities in the future."
The two brothers walked away while talking. Qi Yun stood there, digesting what Xiang Aoting had just said, frowned slightly, turned around and left.
...
After turning the corner, Shi Jin's smile faded and he asked, "Are you sure Qi Yun heard it?"
Xiang Aoting nodded and frowned, "Why did you deliberately reveal your school information? It will affect your safety."
"It doesn't matter, I'll be fine. The most important thing now is to buy time for Mie and Lian Jun." Shi Jin replied, moving his neck, which was a little stiff after lying down all afternoon, and said, "If the news that I'm studying at the police academy is leaked, those people will probably think more about it... By the way, where are my second brother and the others, why aren't they on the deck?"
"They're waiting for you in the restaurant." Xiang Aoting replied, looking at his tired face, he raised his hand and touched his head.
...
Qi Yun did think too much, and thought more than Shi Jin planned. After returning to the ship, he immediately contacted the other three allies to exchange information.
"Mission, police academy, I am sure I heard these two words. A police academy student suddenly became Lian Jun's partner. In order to marry him, Lian Jun gave him a large sum of money, promoted him to the position of deputy leader, and even let him attend meetings. Do you believe this?"
"No." Yuan Peng replied.
Lu Shan and Meng Qing were silent.
"Old Meng's guess this morning may be correct. Shi Jin is a chess piece inserted by the authorities next to Lian Jun. The authorities want to control Mie through him. I don't know if you noticed that Shi Jin only brought Gua Er on board this time. Gua Yi, Lian Jun's most trusted confidant, never showed up. I think Lian Jun may be under house arrest by the authorities." Qi Yun expressed his thoughts.
Lu Shan spoke up to refute, "If Shi Jin is really a pawn of the authorities, then why did he show all the information to us so high-profile this time? If he has a conspiracy with the authorities, shouldn't this information be kept secret? Qi Yun, Meng Qing, you are too suspicious. I think Shi Jin is telling the truth. He is not an official. He just happens to have connections with the authorities, and he also happens to be studying at the police academy, and he also happens to have a few capable relatives. I still prefer the guess that Shi Jin is a smokescreen put forward by Lian Jun. Lian Jun may be about to die. He let Shi Jin behave so high-profile to scare us, fearing that we will find something wrong and take the opportunity to beat him. So we should catch him off guard at this time. Don't worry about Shi Jin. There is nothing to worry about."
"Lu Shan, don't act on impulse. There aren't so many coincidences in this world. You've been too restless recently." Meng Qing nodded at her, then softened his tone and said, "But what you said makes sense. Shi Jin's various behaviors are too high-profile, which doesn't seem like the official style."
Yuan Peng suddenly said, "Why guess so much? Why not just kill him?"
"What?" Lu Shan was the first to speak, and found that her tone was too excited, so she quickly covered it up, "Have you forgotten how I was targeted by the official? Are you crazy?"
"What are you afraid of? As long as we don't let the authorities know that we did it, it will be fine." Yuan Peng's tone was very nonchalant, and a little cold. "No matter which side Shi Jin sits on, it is a foregone conclusion that he will affect the situation. Whether he helps Lian Jun or the authorities, there will be only one result in the end - Mie and the authorities will be tied together. By then, who can touch Mie, and what will be our fate? Instead of wasting time guessing here, and letting Shi Jin really become a pawn of the authorities, or successfully helping Lian Jun fool something, it is better to kill him directly, eliminate all possibilities, and find out the real situation by the way."
Qi Yun and Meng Qing didn't say anything. It was obvious that they were actually thinking the same thing in their minds.
Lu Shan's heart sank, but she pretended to be angry and sneered, "Kill him? That's easy to say, but who will bear the risk? I don't think you are the ones who can't keep calm. It's shameful to be fooled by a kid!"
Meng Qing couldn't stand her words anymore, and said in a slightly lower voice, "Lu Shan, although Yuan Peng's suggestion is relatively radical, it is indeed the best solution at the moment. Shi Jin's background is too strong. No matter which side he supports, he can't stay."
Qi Yun also spoke up and said, "The best opportunity will be after the meeting."
Seeing that they had made up their minds, Lu Shan felt murderous inside but she didn't show it on her face. She said sarcastically, "You guys are really crazy. I said that the best option now is to kill us... Forget it, go ahead and kill us if you want. I only ask for one thing, don't fail to kill anyone in the end and expose our four families. I don't want to give the authorities a second excuse to attack me!"
"Just be patient." Yuan Peng spoke again, with a sense of satisfaction that overwhelmed Lu Shan, "Killing is what I'm best at."
...
Shi Jin found that his progress bar had risen, and it rose to 600 all at once.
Xiao Si was so scared that he asked, "Jinjin, what does this mean? Are those bad guys targeting you?"
"It should be, after all, I'm so valuable." Shi Jin looked at his progress bar, his heart was calm, "Let's wait for Aunt Lu's news first."
A few minutes later, Lu Shan called.
"You're playing too big, brat." Lu Shan started with a scolding, speaking a little fast, "As soon as the news of your studying at the police academy came out, Qi Yun and Meng Qing started to spread their opinions infinitely. They even concluded that you were a pawn planted by the authorities next to Lian Jun, and the authorities wanted to control the situation through you. Your strategy was very successful. Now they don't care about Lian Jun at all, and they are determined to deal with you. Is this what you want?" Shi Jin
replied, "That's good."
"Is that all? I thought Lian Jun was brave enough, but you are braver than him. They decided to find an opportunity to attack you after the meeting. Yuan Peng took the initiative to say this in order to gain the right to speak. No matter what, they don't want to put you, the variable, safely back to Lian Jun's side. Do you think this is a good thing?"
"Don't worry, it's okay. I guessed that things would develop like this, so I asked Guayi to prepare in advance." Shi Jin comforted and reminded, "Aunt Lu, you should cooperate with them more, don't let them get suspicious, and protect yourself."
"You guys..." Lu Shan was relieved when she heard that he asked Guayi to deal with it. She frowned and said, "Then you should be careful. Tell me if you have any problems. Keep in touch." Shi Jin
responded and hung up the phone. He took a look at his progress bar and clenched his fist.
Now everyone's attention has shifted to him. As long as he escapes the pursuit of the four families this time and finds a way to severely damage the enemy, then he can at least help Lian Jun buy another month of breathing time for this meeting.
Perfect, the next step is a tough battle.
He let go of his hand, found Guayi's number, and made a call.
