Chapter 179 The Mysterious Man Is Among Them
In the supply and marketing cooperative.
Lin Shuang bought a complete set of mandarin duck pillowcases, quilt covers and sheets for her wedding.
I also picked out some daily necessities for the new house.
The few childhood playmates who followed her were all silent and followed her to help her carry things.
Instructor Li's son grumbled in dissatisfaction, "That old man Shen is too much. He's about to marry you, but he won't come with you to buy things. He still thinks he's still Captain Shen!"
Political Commissar Zhang's son also agreed, "Yes, Shuangshuang, I don't know why you like that old man. I heard that he is infertile. It's really unfair for you to marry such an old man at such a young age."
Immediately afterwards, the other second-generations around him also started talking at once, their faces full of jealousy towards Shen Jinxiao.
They have been competing to pamper Lin Shuang since they were young, and they are secretly trying to be the other half of Lin Shuang's marriage certificate in the future. However, they didn't expect that this girl always liked Shen Jinxiao and insisted on marrying him.
If Shen Jinxiao treated Lin Shuang well, then they would be fine, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the man who was several years older than them and had once held a high position didn't care about Lin Shuang at all.
But Lin Shuang didn't care at all. She excused Shen Jinxiao and didn't blame him. "Brother Jinxiao is not an old man. If anyone of you says that to him again, we will break off our friendship."
As she spoke, Lin Shuang glared at Zhang Zhengwei's son. "And little Zhang, you are not allowed to say that Brother Jin Xiao is infertile. You don't understand. Infertility is better. There will be no children to compete with me for Brother Jin Xiao's love."
After he finished speaking, the childhood friends who were carrying things all looked embarrassed, as if they had eaten a fly, and said nothing.
Several people followed Lin Shuang carrying their things and got on the bus waiting on the roadside to pick them up.
When getting on the bus, Lin Shuang, who was walking in front, lost his balance and fell to the ground unexpectedly.
Fortunately, the driver who picked them up was quick enough to reach out and hold her up.
Several people behind her hurriedly got into the car, wanting to ask her if she was hurt.
Unexpectedly, Lin Shuang, who had fallen, suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something. She shook off the driver's hand in fear, squatted on the ground, covering her head and screaming wildly.
Her out-of-control appearance frightened everyone so much that they were at a loss and their eyes widened. Some of them hurried to the roadside to find a phone to make a call...

Military hospital.
Political Commissar Zhang looked at the criss-crossing scars on Shen Jinxiao's body after he untied the gauze. He had already cleared away the mission codes he had carved on his body before, and he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with guilt.
In order to ease the atmosphere, he still joked with Shen Jinxiao, rubbing salt into his wounds, "Your ex-wife is really heartless. You were injured like this to save her, and she didn't even come to see you again."
Shen Jinxiao rolled his eyes at him with a cold face, “It was all your fault before. She was so badly injured, but I didn’t go to see her. She must be angry with me.”
"That's because you didn't know she was in trouble," Political Commissar Zhang touched his nose guiltily, and continued to attack Shen Jinxiao by looking at his face, "but she knew how badly you were injured, but she didn't come at all. Instead, she stuck to your eldest nephew every day and played with him passionately."
Shen Jinxiao paused while putting on his clothes, and his originally cold expression suddenly became dull.
He sat down and looked at Political Commissar Zhang with a serious expression, and revealed his cards directly without any suspense.
"Just tell me what you mean, don't provoke me."
Political Commissar Zhang tapped the table with his fingertips and also spoke frankly, saying with a serious face, "We had previously released the news that Lin Shuang was framed for participating in kidnapping and was taken to the detention center. When we went to pick her up that day, we didn't see any other suspicious men at all, so we discussed it and prepared to activate Plan B."
"Plan B?"
Shen Jinxiao's eyes widened and he waved his hands repeatedly, "No, this will hurt her if she's not careful. I can't involve her in this anymore."
Political Commissar Zhang's face darkened and he spread his hands. "If this continues, when do you think we can lead out the 'Boss Gao' behind the scenes?"
"Then you say..."
Shen Jinxiao frowned in thought, and when he looked up again, his obsidian-like eyes narrowed slightly, with a look of surprise, "Do you think that person is someone around us? Is it those brats who usually surround Lin Shuang?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Upon hearing this, Political Commissar Zhang stood up from his chair, shocked by Shen Jinxiao's words.
Since his own son was also in there, wouldn't that make him a suspect as well?
"It's impossible. According to the current clues, that 'Boss Gao' is a ruthless person. We have watched those children grow up. How could he be the kind of evil person who wantonly plays with women, sells secrets, and harms his comrades?"
He would never believe that those innocent children would be the cruel and inhumane bad people.
Seeing that he was emotional, Shen Jinxiao couldn't help but glance at the bottle of medicine he had given him for treating headaches, and then pulled the corner of his lips to comfort him, "Don't be excited, maybe that person didn't show up that day because he was delayed by something. It's not certain that he will show his hand on the day when Lin Shuang and I get married."
"So, don't even mention activating 'Plan B'."
Hearing this, Political Commissar Zhang felt that his anger just now was like a punch on cotton, as if he had fallen into Shen Jinxiao's trap, so that he could no longer speak to implement "Plan B".
Likewise, no one wants their family involved, and he is no exception.
Political Commissar Zhang didn't say anything more. He and Shen Jinxiao, who had put on his clothes, were about to go out when the guard ran in in a panic, his voice panting, "Oh no, something happened to Comrade Lin..."
Shen Jinxiao looked stern and rushed out quickly.
People are coming and going on the street.
A woman's screaming and crying was heard from a bus.
Under the bus, the driver and several young men stood and banged on the tightly closed door, anxiously trying to persuade the out-of-control woman inside to open the door.
Shen Jinxiao hurried over, pushed through the crowd and looked at the woman who was hiding under the seat with her head in her hands, feeling mixed emotions in his chest.
She used to be such a kind and bright little girl. Even though she was spoiled, she would never do anything to hurt others.
He didn't know when she became so strange.
Even though there were so many people who loved her around her, she kidnapped an innocent child and hurt the woman he loved most for him.
Even when he lost his memory before, he could still face the things she did calmly.
Now that he has recovered his memory, after seeing the scars on Meng Shuyue's body and reading the medical records of Meng Shuyue's hospitalization, he can no longer remain friendly to her.
It’s hard to imagine how painful it would be for Shuyue when so many needles were inserted into her throat.
In order not to worry the children, she did not make a sound even when she was in so much pain that she almost fainted.
Tears fell from the corners of my eyes.
Even though the woman on the bus had suffered the consequences of her own actions, he still could not forgive her.
Glancing at the concerned and anxious faces behind him, Shen Jinxiao's eyes were fixed on Zhang Donghai, the only child of Political Commissar Zhang's family, and his eyes became hesitant.
