Chapter 349 Jiang Chen’s Warning
Ye Rou couldn't understand Gu Xue's mood at the moment. She ran out happily, but when she saw what her grandfather was holding, her eyes widened instantly and she stopped.
Curled up in my grandfather's hand was a little kitten the size of a palm. Its whole body was orange, and its little paws were white, as if it was wearing white gloves. Its triangular pointed ears stood up. When it sensed people approaching, it curled up even tighter, and its soft fur looked even more golden in the sunlight.
"kitten!"
Ye Rou exclaimed in surprise.
Zheng Zhiyuan smiled and said, "They were born from Secretary Li's cats. There were too many to keep at home, so they gave them away everywhere and also gave me one."
In the painting drawn by Lily, the little girl was lying under a tree with an orange cat curled up beside her. The first time Zheng Zhiyuan saw the kitten, he thought of the painting. On a whim, he took the kitten from Secretary Li.
"Do you want to raise one?"
Zheng Zhiyuan asked Ye Rou for her opinion.
He asked Secretary Li to wait at the door, and if Xiaorou didn't want to keep her, she could return her to Secretary Li.
"I think!"
Ye Rou's eyes sparkled and she answered happily.
She excitedly stretched out her hand, "Grandpa, I want to hug it."
Zheng Zhiyuan handed the kitten to Ye Rou.
Ye Rou lifted the kitten up and rubbed it against her face, and Zheng Zhiyuan's heart softened.
"I've sent some goat milk, so you don't have to bother feeding it."
Zheng Zhiyuan wanted to give a kitten to make his granddaughter happy, not to cause trouble.
The kitten was only the size of a palm, curled up obediently in Ye Rou's hands, soft and fragile. Ye Rou was afraid that speaking loudly would scare it, so she whispered, "Grandpa, someone wants to see you."
Zheng Zhiyuan: "Who?"
Ye Rou said, "A museum director named Gu Xue wants to buy Wang Xizhi's works."
Zheng Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly burned with fire.
He had been seeking an authentic work of Wang Xizhi for half his life, but he would not give it to anyone who asked for it.
"I'll go meet him."
Zheng Zhiyuan asked the mute woman to tell Secretary Li that the cat was accepted.
He strode into the outer hall carrying his briefcase, and Ye Rou followed him in holding the kitten.
When Jiang Chen saw the cat in Ye Rou's hand, his eyes darkened.
Ye Rou walked over to Jiang Chen and asked him to look at the kitten.
It happened that the kitten was familiar with Ye Rou's scent, and it raised its head, revealing its big, round, black eyes.
"Look how cute it is!"
Ye Rou couldn't contain her joy even though she lowered her voice.
Jiang Chen just felt it was an eyesore.
He reached out and lifted the cat's leg without hesitation. Seeing that it was a little female cat, his expression looked better.
On the other side, everyone was stunned when they saw Zheng Zhiyuan's ancient studies.
Zheng Zhiyuan put down his briefcase, stared at the only stranger, and said in a serious voice, "You want to buy my work?"
"Senior Zheng?" Gu Xue called tentatively.
Zheng Zhiyuan frowned slightly, looked up and down at Gu Xue, and asked warily: "Do you know me?"
"I, Senior Zheng, Goodbai!"
Gu Xue excitedly said, "We are from the same batch of Peking University students sent abroad to Country Y. You are a year older than me. I majored in history, and you majored in literature."
Zheng Zhiyuan remembered it as soon as he heard the name.
"It's you!"
He was deeply impressed by the name.
At that time, this group of international students did not speak English. When they got off the boat, they heard foreigners shouting: good bye. Goodbai thought they were calling him and kept sighing at the enthusiasm of foreigners.
When he found out later, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Goodbai was always teased about his name, so he simply changed it in anger.
But they still called him Goodbye, and no one called him by the name he changed to.
It turned out to be changed to ancient studies.
It fits his major.
Ye Rou asked curiously, "Grandpa, do you know each other?"
Zheng Zhiyuan nodded and sighed, "We went to the same school, were both in the calligraphy club, and later went to study in Country Y together. We have a great connection."
When they first arrived in Country Y, they were unfamiliar with the place and were ostracized and looked down upon by foreigners. They held their breath, wanting to study hard and thinking of serving their motherland.
After three years of studying abroad, the relationship is particularly deep.
Unfortunately, after returning to China, they were assigned work in different places and communicated with each other through letters. Zheng Zhiyuan's work location was adjusted several times, and they gradually lost contact.
When Gu Xue saw his senior, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
Seeing that the two old men were full of emotion, Ye Rou pulled Jiang Chen out, leaving the space for Grandpa and Uncle Gu.
Jiang Weiguo also stood up and resigned.
He followed Ye Rou and Jiang Chen to the door and said, "I still have a lot of things to do at the police station. I'll leave first."
"Wait a minute." Jiang Chen called him, his tone a little cold.
Ye Rou looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.
He looked at Ye Rou, his cold expression faded, and he said gently, "You go back first."
Ye Rou looked at Jiang Chen, then at Jiang Weiguo, and realized that the atmosphere was not right. She didn't ask, but nodded while holding the kitten.
Jiang Chen watched Ye Rou walk away without saying a word.
Jiang Weiguo waited anxiously, feeling something was wrong.
Only when Ye Rou was completely out of sight did Jiang Chen look back at Jiang Weiguo.
The smile on his face faded, his brows were pressed down, and his eyes and eyebrows looked particularly gloomy.
Just one look from him and Jiang Weiguo immediately became obedient.
He was the first to speak: "I shouldn't have said that Ye Rou was wasting natural resources."
Jiang Chen lowered his eyes, his expression lazy, without the gentleness he showed in front of Ye Rou, and the gloomy and indifference he had deliberately restrained was fully revealed.
His voice was exceptionally cold.
"You know, we should have cut off contact a long time ago."
Jiang Chen saved Jiang Weiguo's son when he was catching human traffickers, and later cooperated with Jiang Weiguo in order to kill Yu Chengping. Compared with the relationship of friends, he and Jiang Weiguo used each other more.
Jiang Weiguo wanted to achieve political achievements. As the mayor of Changdu Town, he discovered that there were many cases of missing persons in the town and decided to arrest the human traffickers.
Yu Chengping, the police chief, did not cooperate with his work and repeatedly put obstacles in his way. Jiang Weiguo's plan could not be implemented and he encountered obstacles everywhere.
Jiang Chen found evidence of Yu Chengping's collaboration with human traffickers and contacted Jiang Weiguo. The two hit it off and decided to join forces immediately.
Eventually, he brought down Yu Chengping, cracked a major human trafficking case, and then solved the illegal mines and rescued countless miners trapped in the mines. With these political achievements, Jiang Weiguo was successfully promoted and transferred to the position of director of the Beijing City West Police Station.
Jiang Chen also knew that his abduction in his previous life was related to the Qu family. Logically, the contact between the two should have ended there.
When he was reborn in this life, he only thought about revenge and had no interest in getting married or making friends.
After Ye Rou appeared, his planned future was disrupted.
The dark and bloody road of revenge, which was originally filled with more and more colors, became brighter and brighter.
He changed his mind, suppressed his dark and destructive thoughts, and wanted to become a normal man with brothers and a career in Ye Rou's eyes.
In addition, Jiang Weiguo sent Cheng Gang to escort Ye Rou to Beijing. Jiang Chen remembered his kindness in this matter, and after coming to Beijing, their contact became closer.
Jiang Weiguo is very ambitious. Beijing is full of powerful people. He rushed into this power center rashly. He was unwilling to be just a puppy at the bottom who was kicked and played with at will. Naturally, he wanted to climb up.
His ambition is consistent and cannot be easily changed or suppressed.
The same is true for Jiang Chen.
Color will only be swallowed by black, and Jiang Chen cannot be changed.
His essence is still gloomy and indifferent, without any positive human emotions. Sympathy, compassion, gentleness, loyalty... these have nothing to do with him.
He only made an exception for Ye Rou.
Jiang Weiguo used Ye Rou's things to please Gu Xue, which crossed the bottom line of Jiang Chen's tolerance for him.
Jiang Chen's eyes were particularly gloomy.
The moment Jiang Weiguo looked into Jiang Chen's eyes, he felt his blood freeze, as if he was in a cold storage.
Yes, why did he feel that Jiang Chen was gentle.
Obviously, he had always thought that Jiang Chen was a human-shaped beast, and he had to be careful even if he cooperated with him because Jiang Chen was very dangerous.
But when did it change?
Perhaps it was because Jiang Weiguo saw a different Jiang Chen during the commendation meeting in the auditorium.
Jiang Chen, who always had no expression or emotion, became jealous and envious for a woman... The beast possessed human emotions, and the haze covering Jiang Chen dissipated.
Jiang Weiguo always thought Ye Rou had changed Jiang Chen.
Until today, he was shocked to find that Jiang Chen had never changed.
It's just that the beast was willing to put on human skin for a woman, learned to hide its fangs and hide in the crowd.
He always thought that Ye Rou's danger lay in the background of her father and grandfather, and her strange power, but now it seems that the most dangerous person is Jiang Chen who is standing behind Ye Rou.
Because he is not bound by morality and law, Jiang Chen is more terrifying and dangerous than the oppression brought by his status.
If Ye Rou is touched, the beast will tear the human skin and bite the enemy's throat, causing blood to flow.
The scene in his mind stimulated Jiang Weiguo so much that he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He avoided Jiang Chen's gaze and simply admitted his mistake.
"I was wrong today. I will apologize to Ye Rou and this will never happen again."
Jiang Chen did not believe Jiang Weiguo's assurance.
Ambition and desire are human instincts, and he doesn't believe Jiang Weiguo will change.
He scoffed and said with a warning, "Only this once."
"This won't happen again." Jiang Weiguo replied honestly.
Only when Jiang Weiguo followed the mute woman out and got into the car did he finally breathe freely.
The young policeman driving the car saw the chief's clothes were soaked with sweat, leaving dark spots all over them. He wondered, "Is it really that hot?"
Under the young policeman's secret gaze, Jiang Weiguo slapped himself hard.
The young policeman was stunned.
The director sitting in the back row was talking to himself.
The voice was so low that the policeman could only hear a few words.
"This won't happen again."
Before the policeman could think deeply, Jiang Weiguo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Drive."
"yes."
The police car roared away.
The weather is fine and everything is the same as before.
