Six years ago, Shen Meijing finally broke up with her love partner three months after her engagement. Chen Wusheng boarded a train to the northwest alone. Shen Meijing insisted on going to the station to see off her dead love despite her family's opposition, and Chen Wusheng didn't even turn his head back.
Shen Meijing was disheartened and didn't tell anyone. She went to southern Fujian alone to find her fiancé Su Xun.
"Why are you here?" Su Xun saw his fiancée, with whom he had been engaged for only three months, at the door of the rental house.
Although we have known each other since childhood, there is a several year age gap between us. We didn't play together when we were young, and we went our separate ways when we grew up. We are not as familiar with each other as we were when we were children.
Su Xun had no objection to the marriage arranged by his family, as his parents' generation had all gone through this.
"I came to see you." Shen Meijing couldn't understand why Su Xun retired from the army and came to southern Fujian to work.
"When are you going to return to Beijing? What kind of job are you going to do? What are your plans for the future? You can't stay in southern Fujian forever. I don't like this place."
Su Xun opened the door, brought her into the house, poured her a cup of hot water, and seeing her depressed expression, he knew that she had run away secretly.
Su Xun also knew that when his fiancée got engaged, she had not completely broken up with her ex-partner.
He sighed inwardly. He had been carrying out his mission here, pretending to be an ordinary person and working in the newspaper for nearly a year. He had obtained key information and could not make any mistakes at this critical juncture.
Su Xun said: "I will not be back tonight because I have to work overtime. You can stay here for one night and I will send you back tomorrow morning."
"I don't want to go back." Shen Meijing said angrily.
Su Xun looked into her eyes seriously, "Or I can send you to the Northwest. If you really regret it, we can call off the marriage when I'm on vacation."
Shen Meijing cried so much that her pillow was wet.
In the afternoon, Shen Meijing bought a fish and a piece of tofu, fried the fish until both sides were golden brown, stewed a pot of milky white fish soup with tofu, put it in a thermos bucket, and sent it to Su Xun's unit as his dinner.
"Wow, it smells so good, what is this stew?"
At the entrance of the newspaper office, Shen Meijing met Su Xun's immediate superior, a fair-skinned man of medium build and a friendly face.
She forced a smile, "Fish soup, for Su Xun."
"My sister-in-law is so virtuous, and Su Xun is so lucky."
The smile on Shen Meijing's face was uglier than crying. "What's so lucky about that? He didn't want to be a soldier, but came here to work. I really don't know what he was thinking."
Six years ago, Cui Xingdong had not started to gain weight yet, and his face made him look kind and trustworthy. In just a few words, he told Shen Meijing everything she knew.
He even heard from Shen Meijing that Su Xun's comrade-in-arms and good friend Han Jingnian had retired from the army and the two came to work in southern Fujian together. That good brother of Su Xun, whom Cui Xingdong had not met yet, was studying not far from the newspaper office and had been attending classes for half a year.
Cui Xingdong said with concern: "Alas, arranged marriages kill people, but Xiao Su is still very good. He is a responsible and responsible man. If you follow him, your life will be guaranteed."
Shen Meijing remained silent. No matter how responsible a man is, it is impossible for him to help another man raise a child.
Cui Xingdong seemed to have something urgent to do and had to send Shen Meijing away first. He smiled kindly, "I have arranged for Xiao Su to go out on some business. Give me this fish soup and I will take it to his office."
Shen Meijing didn't know yet that her few words had already caused Su Xun to be suspected.
After she left, Cui Xingdong opened the thermos, took a sip, sneered, and didn't even add salt. He was really perfunctory to his fiancé.
…
At night, Shen Meijing couldn't sleep, so she got up and sat in the small garden downstairs. Under the moonlight, she saw Su Xun covered in blood. After seeing her, he couldn't hold on and fell down.
Shen Meijing was so frightened that she ran over in a hurry. Su Xun grabbed her hand, and there were many emotions in his clear eyes that she couldn't understand. He stared at her and left a last word.
"Tell Congyan, tell him that the things are in the ancestral hall... They are more important than his life. Don't forget to get them...
Su Xun's throat was cut open, and there were several bloody holes in his abdomen. Shen Meijing, who was lying on Su Xun's chest, had to struggle to hear these words clearly: "Congyan... things, the ancestral hall... are more important than life..."
"Brother!" With a sudden shout, Su Congyan was one step late after all.
Ever since Shen Meijing quietly ran away from home, the two families in Jing City were in an uproar. Su Congyan vaguely felt that Shen Meijing would not go to the Northwest, and might go to southern Fujian to find her eldest brother.
Su Congyan never believed the reason why his elder brother retired from the army and went to work in southern Fujian. He always felt that his elder brother was carrying out some mission. He had a hunch that Shen Meijing was going to do something bad by going there uninvited, so he followed her overnight.
After all, I was a step too late.
When the eldest brother saw him, his eyes were filled with words, but he could no longer speak. He just clenched Shen Meijing's hand and stared at her with a mixture of pleading and hatred.
The blood foam overflowed from his mouth in large mouthfuls and could not be wiped clean no matter how hard he tried.
After that, she was confused and disoriented. Shen Meijing was dragged here and there to record her testimony and attend Su Xun's funeral. During this time, countless people asked her, "Did Comrade Su Xun leave any last words before he died?"
"No, he didn't say anything. Don't ask me, he didn't say anything..."
It was not until the funeral that Su Congyan's call of "sister-in-law" brought Shen Meijing's soul back.
Su Congyan couldn't help sobbing, "Sister-in-law, did my elder brother really not leave even a single word of last words?"
Shen Meijing looked pale and trembling, with her hands on her belly, "I'm pregnant..."
Although she didn't say who the child belonged to, Su Congyan took it in automatically, thinking it was his eldest brother's posthumous child.
His only obsession at that time was to help his elder brother preserve this only bloodline.
"Sister-in-law, please give birth to my brother's child. I will help my brother raise the child and will not let you be a single mother. I will agree to marry you and be the father of the child. When everything is calm in the future, even if you want to reconcile with Chen Wusheng, we can divorce at any time. I just ask you to give birth to the child."
Shen Meijing cried that time, and I didn’t know whether she was crying for Su Xun or for her dead love.
Shen Meijing didn't explain anything and let Su Congyan misunderstand her. She agreed to Su Congyan's request and nodded.
It was not until much later, when Su Xun and Han Jingnian were posthumously named martyrs, that Shen Meijing carefully recalled Su Xun's last words and realized that the few words Su Xun left behind were clues to important intelligence.
For reasons she couldn't explain, she thought this trump card might come in handy in the future, so she has kept it secret until now.
…
Su Ying placed the prescription and the medicine residue she brought with her on the desk, and in front of Han Jingyuan and several leaders, she slowly told them what she had heard from Shen Meijing about what happened that day.
At that time, Su Ying wanted to cut Shen Meijing's throat as well, but was suppressed by Su Xinyi.
Su Xinyi said that death would be the end, and he wanted Shen Meijing to spend the rest of her life in prison and experience the taste of despair.
The truth was unbearable, even the usually steady Xu Yuezhou couldn't stand it.
"That was too much bullying. My best soldier was killed by that idiot."
With a loud "clang", the big teacup that Xu Yuezhou had treasured for more than ten years smashed against the window with such force that the window glass shattered. The soldiers who were training on the playground were shocked all over, stopped their movements and turned around. They were scolded by the instructor and retreated 200 meters together.
Xu Yuezhou's eyes were red from vomiting, and he wished he could dig out the beating heart in his chest so that his heart would not hurt so much.
At the desk, Chen Tuan, who was taking the statement himself, clenched his left fist, bit the back of his hand tightly between his teeth, and buried his head. Soon, blood slid from the corner of his mouth and along the bulging blue veins.
Commander Qi immediately picked up the phone to report to his higher-level leader. There were many ancestral halls in southern Fujian, but based on the places where Su Xun had worked and his range of activities that day, he could accurately identify two or three ancestral halls.
If nothing goes wrong, the police in southern Fujian will be able to find the original copy that Su Xun hid in the ancestral hall in an hour at most.
Xu Yuezhou roared, "Catch her, bring her back for interrogation, now, immediately!"
Han Jingyuan had bitten his lower lip until it bled and was shaking. He saluted in a standard military salute upon hearing the order and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes!"
…
"Han Jingyuan, you still have the mood to stop me here. Your wife and Chen Wusheng are having an affair. Go home and interrogate your wife."
Shen Meijing couldn't see Su Congyan's leader and waited at the gate of the military camp for more than an hour. This was her daily routine in the morning, noon and evening.
The soldiers coming in and out either turned a blind eye as if she didn't exist, or looked at her with contempt and refused to talk to her.
Shen Meijing was particularly irritable today because she had the nightmare about the day Su Xun committed suicide.
It was so clear, as if what happened that day was replaying itself, and I woke up with a splitting headache.
She was in a bad mood at the moment. When she saw Han Jingyuan, she remembered the nickname Su Ying that Chen Wusheng called her in his sleep.
Shen Meijing firmly believed that Chen Wusheng was calling Su Ying's "Aying". Only someone as shameless as Hao Chunying would mistakenly think that Chen Wusheng was thinking about her in his dream. She was dreaming. Hao Chunying, who was so lively and outgoing, was not the type Chen Wusheng liked at all.
Han Jingyuan wanted to tear her apart. If she hadn't spoken without thinking and exposed the information that his elder brother and elder brother Su had served in the army, Cui Xingdong would not have noticed it, and his elder brother and Su Xun would not have died.
He said coldly, "Why is it unclear? Explain it clearly."
“The cake.”
Shen Meijing was heartbroken. "Chen Wusheng said that he would only make cakes for his lover and children in this life, but he gave Su Ying a birthday cake. Don't they have a secret relationship? This is immoral!"
Han Jingyuan smiled instead of getting angry. "The last person who slandered my wife is still in prison reflecting on his actions. You want to go in too, right? Then I'll help you."
He took a step forward and whispered in a voice that the guards beside him couldn't hear: "You promised Brother Su Xun's dying wish, but you didn't fulfill it, and you even lied to his younger brother. Have you really been able to sleep every night for the past six years?"
Shen Meijing stared at Han Jingyuan in horror. How did he know?
Could it be that Xu Fenyue revealed it in exchange for leniency?
But Xu Fenyue didn't know where the trump card was hidden, and the key information was still with her.
Shen Meijing couldn't hide her panic and asked to see Political Commissar Xu, "Take me to see your leader. I have important information to hand over, Han Jingyuan. This information is very important. You are not qualified to waste time!"
Important? She also knew that the information obtained in exchange for two lives was important!
If she still had a little bit of conscience, Brother Zhuang might not have suffered six years of torture, and Su Congyan would not have lived a lie for six years.
Han Jingyuan couldn't stop sneering, "You didn't tell me six years ago, but now you want to use the information that the two big brothers risked their lives to gain benefits for yourself?"
"You're too late."
Han Jingyuan taunted, "Shen Meijing, you are one of the most vicious people I have ever met."
"I am vicious?"
"Vicious and unaware."
Shen Meijing thought blankly, the first person to say that she was vicious seemed to be Han Xinxing, such a young child, and he said she was vicious as soon as he opened his mouth. Then it was Su Xinyi who was pushed down the stairs but did not die, and he also said that she was vicious. Now it was Han Jingyuan. Why did they all say that she was vicious?
Is she really vicious? Why have I never felt that?
Su Ying walked out of the office and saw that Shen Meijing still didn't feel that she was wrong. She said, "You will be in prison for the rest of your life. You have plenty of time to think about this issue slowly."
When she was arrested, Shen Meijing finally realized that she was finished. This time, there was no man like Su Congyan to protect her.
She struggled frantically, but it was of no use. At the entrance of the military camp, two guards held her on the left and right, making her unable to move. Su Ying directly removed her jaw to prevent her angry shouting from attracting more attention.
Su Ying stood quietly in the dark for a while, watching Han Jingyuan and several leaders stuff Shen Meijing into a military vehicle and take her to an unknown place.
The night is getting darker, but the sun will still rise tomorrow.
…
The interrogation went on and on, but Shen Meijing refused to admit it and said nothing, still insisting that Su Xun did not leave any last words.
On Xu Yuezhou's side, there was the testimony and prescription provided by Su Ying. When he was trying to get information, Su Xinyi was there to corroborate his testimony. Su Xinyi heard it and it was another witness testimony.
Although Su Ying also pulled Su Xinyi into the mission, because the two of them extracted key information from Shen Meijing, and because Su Xinyi's brother was the sacrificed Su Xun, the leaders tacitly accepted that there was an additional insider.
An hour ago, the secret master copy that Su Xun had hidden six years ago was found.
So whether Shen Meijing says anything or not, these testimonies and confessions will cause her to spend the rest of her life in prison.
Unfortunately, Cui Xingdong was a very alert and cunning rabbit. He hid himself and has not been found until now.
Han Jingyuan stayed up all night and sat in the interrogation room again in the morning. Shen Meijing's spirit had already collapsed.
Han Jingyuan's words made her completely collapse.
Han Jingyuan said: "The master copy was found. Brother Su's last words, the list of people in the intelligence network organized by Cui Xingdong for decades, was found. Shen Meijing, even the gods can't save you now. Just stay in prison and slowly regret it."
…
But Cui Xingdong was not caught. He was a small leader of the organization. This mission cannot be considered successfully completed before Cui Xingdong is brought to justice. The list of underground intelligence network personnel has been deciphered. Currently, we can only make arrangements in advance and wait for Cui Xingdong to be arrested before closing the net and arresting him.
Su Ying was called to attend the emergency meeting again.
This time, we were able to find the parent copy so quickly and no longer worry about Shen Meijing's cooperation with Cui Xingdong, all because of the key clues provided by Su Ying in a timely manner.
Logically speaking, her mission had been successfully completed and she was waiting to be awarded. Even Han Jingyuan didn't know why his wife was invited to this meeting.
He asked Xu Yuezhou, the political commissar laughed it off and said nothing, Commander Qi said he did not see him at the meeting, and Commander Chen said frankly that he did feel strange, but he really didn't know.
"Don't let your imagination run wild." Chen Jinhong said, "You'll know after you ask your wife to listen."
Everyone was present, and Xu Yuezhou analyzed the current progress of the case for everyone.
Cui Xingdong learned from Xu Fenyue that Shen Meijing did not return home for dinner and is currently hiding. If Shen Meijing still does not return home tomorrow, this old fox will definitely run away.
"Our insider, Comrade Wen Hai, also sent a tip saying that Cui Xingdong is still harboring illusions that Chen Wusheng has already revealed Shen Meijing's trump card. He wants to contact Chen Wusheng and then take the trump card out of the country in exchange for his comfortable life abroad."
"The higher-ups mean that Cui Xingdong must be arrested and brought to justice."
Xu Yuezhou paused, and glanced at the people one by one, "Time is running out, so come up with some plans."
In fact, everyone present knew that the key to the best solution at the moment was to persuade Chen Wusheng to cooperate, and Chen Wusheng had previously asked Cui Xingdong to kidnap Su Ying to go with him.
In order to convince Chen Wusheng that his dual personality is a very dangerous uncertain factor and to make Cui Xingdong believe that Chen Wusheng has something in his hands, Chen Wusheng must propose conditions to Cui Xingdong for kidnapping Su Ying.
So Su Ying had to serve as bait and be "kidnapped" again.
…
Regardless of whether Su Ying was willing or not, Han Jingyuan would be the first one to disagree.
Su Ying was not a soldier or a civil servant. She was just an ordinary citizen. There was no need for her to risk her life and cooperate with the team as bait.
This is completely different from the time with the human traffickers. The enemy this time is a vicious and desperate criminal.
No one spoke. Time passed by bit by bit, and the best opportunity to capture Cui Xingdong was lost. The atmosphere was extremely tense.
Su Ying looked at Han Jingyuan, Captain Chen and their leaders. They all had serious expressions and kept their lips tightly closed. Time was precious and should not be wasted.
She was anxious. Originally, she had no right to speak in this situation, but the leaders were unwilling to say anything. She was impatient and could not wait.
"Um, leader, can I say a few words?"
Xu Yuezhou felt very depressed. Does this little girl know what danger and fear are?
He nodded and said, "Comrade Su Ying, now we need everyone to speak freely. If you have any good ideas, please share them with us."
Su Ying said, "I think this isn't difficult to do. Let's first deal with Chen Wusheng and have him use our insider to make Cui believe that Shen Meijing has given him the trump card. Then we can create a time difference and trick Cui out."
"Then let Chen Wusheng propose a condition for escaping together, that is, kidnap me as well. Cui Xingdong will most likely go by water. Water is good. The sea is vast, and if a few motorboats surround him, he will have nowhere to escape except jumping into the sea and drowning. Isn't that good?"
If Su Ying could think of a solution, how could Xu Yuezhou and the others not think of it?
However, Cui Xingdong is now like a frightened bird. If one wants to gain his trust, it is not enough to just let Chen Wusheng hold up his trump card. In order to prove Chen Wusheng's determination, he must also let him put forward conditions to Cui Xingdong and let Cui Xingdong kidnap Su Ying and take her away.
"But if you want to gain Cui Xingdong's trust, you have to be the bait again."
Su Ying said: "I know that if Chen Wusheng doesn't mention this condition, Cui Xingdong won't believe it. Then let Chen Wusheng, me and the insider comrade go together."
The faces of several leaders changed from gratitude to shame. Han Jingyuan's face became more and more gloomy. As soon as Su Ying finished the last word of the plan, Han Jingyuan couldn't help but speak out, and he even raised his tone.
"Su Ying, come out with me!"
…
Han Jingyuan disagreed with Su Ying taking the risk. In the empty small reception room, he was half anxious and half helpless.
"This time is different." He said, "Cui Xingdong is different from the human trafficker Hua Pozi. I can't let you take risks."
Su Ying suddenly thought of her teammates in the other world. They always said: "We can't let Ah Ying take risks..."
But in the end, no one survived.
Su Ying gritted her teeth and said, "You were mean to me just now, Han Jingyuan, you were mean to me. What did I do wrong that you were mean to me?"
Han Jingyuan: ...Is he being mean to her? He is protecting her.
"No, I'm not being mean to you. Why do you think I'm being mean to you? Do you think I'd be willing to do that?"
Han Jingyuan's handsome face that showed forbearance made Su Ying dare not tease him, but he couldn't help teasing him.
Su Ying smiled and said, "Han Jingyuan, you dare to tear down your leader's ladder in front of him. I know, and I know my position in your heart."
She stood on tiptoe to reach the man's lips, and touched them lightly to soothe his tense emotions.
"Don't be afraid of me getting into trouble. I took this job because I'm confident in my ability to protect myself."
Han Jingyuan felt sad and turned his head away. "Before my elder brother and elder brother Su left, they were confident that they could protect themselves, but they didn't come back. Have you ever thought that if something happened to you, you would be the one who would feel the most sorry? You and I just agreed on a marriage, there's no need, Ah Ying, to take risks. I really... I really feel sorry for putting you in danger several times."
Su Ying thought that was different. She came from another world. Was she really going to stand by and watch Han Jingchen's father and Su Xun die in peace?
She leaned on Han Jingyuan's chest, listened to his heartbeat, and said, "You didn't hear it on the spot. In the fragments pieced together by Shen Meijing, I seemed to see that Su Xun relied on his strong willpower to drag his broken body and leave the last words. Your brother's sacrifice was not much less tragic than Su Xun's."
"Han Jingyuan, I want to do something, something for them. If I let Cui run away, I won't be able to sleep well for the rest of my life."
Han Jingyuan hugged Su Ying tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his flesh and blood. For a long time, until Chen Tuan came and knocked on the door, Han Jingyuan let go and whispered a few words in Su Ying's ear that weighed a thousand pounds.
"Thank you, thank you on behalf of my brother and Su Xun. I'm sorry for putting you in danger again and again."
Su Ying gently stroked the man's tense back, again and again, and sighed in her heart.
She should be the one to say sorry.
That time, she was suspected of being a spy because of Duan Chuxia's report. Gu Zhinan's biological mother, Comrade Shi Yan, came all the way to Nan Island, not to see her son.
Isn't Su Ying the same?
This time, she took the initiative to propose a plan to arrest Cui Xingdong, hoping to take the opportunity to solve the trouble with Chen Wusheng. Otherwise, it would always be a bomb and who knows when it would explode.
Her little selfish desire just happened to coincide with the mission, which was the perfect opportunity.
…
"Comrade Su Ying, have you persuaded Han Jingyuan?"
Su Ying smiled and nodded, "Leader, I suggest that I go to Chen Wusheng to negotiate. After all, female comrades can give people an innate sense of trust."
Xu Yuezhou quickly discussed with Commander Qi and felt that Su Ying's proposal was feasible. After all, Su Ying had saved Chen Wusheng and was his savior. It was better than sending a stranger to act as a lobbyist.
I’m just worried about Chen Wusheng’s secondary personality. I don’t know when it might show up, which would be a hidden danger.
"There is no guarantee right now. When you go to negotiate, will the person on the other side be Chen Wusheng or his alter ego?"
Su Ying was waiting for this sentence, and said, "Don't worry, I have a recipe that can make Chen Wusheng's secondary personality disappear forever."
Leaders: …She solved a case that was difficult to solve medically with just one dose of Chinese medicine?
Xu Yuezhou was a little unconvinced, "Comrade Su Ying, is your Chinese medicine prescription so powerful?"
Of course, Chinese herbal medicine cannot cure multiple personality disorder. Besides, Chen Wusheng’s illness does not mean that there is another personality in his body.
There was still a trace of spirit from another world remaining in his body. Traditional Chinese medicine was ineffective against it, but Su Ying's special ability could kill that foreign spirit.
Su Ying said, "This is the recipe my grandfather left behind. It is said that several decades ago, a man had an accident and his family thought he was dead. When the body was being laid, the man suddenly came back to life and his personality became completely different. My grandfather said that a traveling doctor stayed in that village for a month, cured his illness, and left this recipe behind."
"We can give it a try. If we try, there is still a chance. If we don't try, there will be no chance at all."
Su Ying wrote out the prescription. When Xu Yuezhou saw the fifteen medicinal ingredients listed therein, he became more and more frightened. What with the five-step snakes, poisonous scorpions and centipedes? How disgusting and poisonous they were.
Such a legend was beyond comprehension, Xu Yuezhou couldn't even believe this even more bizarre recipe.
Chen Tuan took a look and his face changed. Anyway, the medicine was ready and he would never eat it even if he was beaten to death.
"Comrade Xiao Su, this prescription won't kill you, right?"
Su Ying chuckled, "I don't know. Anyway, my father's prescription has killed people. I only give one prescription to each person. It won't work for another person. Don't give my prescription to anyone else."
…
"Chen Wusheng, there's an open-air movie on the farm today, let's go together."
The work is easy today. The farm director said that the autumn grain harvest is almost done. Tonight the educated youth will go to the commune canteen for a snack, and then there will be an open-air movie in the evening, so we will all go to see the movie.
There were only a few such days a year when they could have a meal and relax, and among the educated youth, except Chen Wusheng, all prepared to go to the commune canteen.
I heard that there are fish, meat and shrimps today, which is even more sumptuous than during the holidays.
Chen Wusheng's face was pale and his eyes were bruised. He hadn't slept well for several days and didn't want to join in the fun.
"No, I feel a little uncomfortable, I'm going to go back and rest first."
Seeing that he looked haggard, as if he had nightmares and couldn't sleep well for several nights in a row, the educated youth didn't force him.
"Okay then, remember to get yourself something to eat and then go to sleep."
"Yes, I will."
Chen Wusheng was thinking that there was still half a bag of noodles. There was a vegetable plot in the backyard of the educated youth's house. He could pick a handful of green vegetables. Eggs... forget about the eggs. An egg was seven cents. He had already eaten one yesterday. Although he had to ensure nutrition, he didn't have to eat them every day.
That child... Shen Meijing said it was his son's child, and he would most likely have to raise the child by his side in the future. He couldn't save on the child's education and nutrition, and for himself, he would save as much as he could.
"Creaky." Chen Wusheng put his hand on the door handle and was about to use the key to open the door when it opened by itself.
Chen Wusheng's tired mind instantly alerted, and he picked up a wooden stick and let in a dim light through the crack in the door that had just creaked open.
Is that Shen Meijing inside? No, she couldn't enter the farm since that night.
Hao Chunying? No, she couldn't enter his room without saying hello.
Is that Cui Xingdong? It's possible that he still wants to get the trump card in Shen Meijing's hand, but he will not agree to it no matter what.
Su Ying was holding a tonic Chinese medicine containing the essence of 'heaven and earth' in the room, and she was almost getting impatient waiting. This man who was like a frightened bird was the original Chen Wusheng.
She raised her voice and said, "Chen Wusheng, I'm Su Ying, I'm here to bring you some tonic."
…
"You said you wanted to give me a job?"
Chen Wusheng bolted the door and vigorously washed his only teacup for guests. After thinking for a while, he felt that it was very impolite for his benefactor to use the chipped one. The unused enamel toothbrush cup was bought by Comrade Hao Chunying as compensation for his broken teacup, and it had never been used.
He cleaned it several times, put in tea leaves, poured in boiling water, and the whole process, including boiling water to make tea, took eleven minutes and forty-eight seconds.
Su Ying held up the tea, took a sip, and tried to hold back, but finally complimented him against his will, "You are such a particular person."
Chen Wusheng smiled shyly, "It's just a way to have fun in hardship. If I just make do with everything, I really don't know what motivation I can rely on to persevere in such a difficult environment."
Su Ying put down the teacup. She was more picky than anyone else when it came to being particular, but she was also more adaptable than anyone else when it came to making do. It was just a teacup. She used to use tiles to catch rainwater to drink.
She said, "Then go back to the city and find a new job."
"That's easier said than done. I can't even leave this farm."
"Of course I didn't say that for nothing. If you successfully complete the job I introduced to you, you can return to the city and be assigned a pretty good job. With a job, you will have the opportunity to get a house in the future and be able to take better care of Chen Zhenyou. Of course, after Youyou is awarded to you, you can also change his name to anything you want."
Chen Wusheng is also a smart man. Su Ying is so sure that she can help him get the child from Shen Meijing, so the matter involving Shen Meijing must be of great importance.
He swallowed hard and said, "Shen Meijing?"
Su Ying nodded and gave him a positive answer.
"Whether you take this job or not, she will never be able to get out for the rest of her life. What about the child? This is what I think. Ms. Xie Huaixiang was able to educate Shen Meijing to the point of going to jail. How can Youyou take good care of her? It's better for you to keep the child with you."
Then Su Ying told him the work he needed to complete.
"What you need to do is, with the cooperation of our inside players, pretend to have obtained the trump card that Cui Xingdong cares about the most from Shen Meijing."
Chen Wusheng thought about it for a long time. Since he already knew the content of the mission, if he did not agree, he would probably be sent back to the Northwest to avoid getting in the way.
Besides, Su Ying was his savior. She gave him the opportunity to get a job and return to the city, so of course he had to fight for it.
Chen Wusheng agreed without much hesitation, but he was also worried, "Since Shen Meijing has been arrested, Cui Xingdong will find out one day."
Su Ying said: "Yes, so we have to seize every minute and every second. You have wasted eleven minutes and forty-eight seconds just making tea today."
Chen Wusheng: ...
Seeing that the deal was done, Su Ying opened the thermos cup. Inside was a dark brown medicinal juice like ink, which was thicker and stronger than ordinary Chinese medicine, and was just the right temperature for drinking.
She poured the Chinese medicine in the thermos into Chen Wusheng's teacup and said, "Okay, drink the medicine."
…
Chen Wusheng couldn't stand the ink-like Chinese medicine in front of him. Is this really not poison?
He hesitated and didn't dare to take the bite.
Su Ying urged, "You must have had nightmares recently. After investigating and analyzing you, I found that you have developed a second personality due to your previous heart-wrenching experience. Your recent abnormal behavior is caused by this second personality."
"Can drinking this Chinese medicine eliminate the second personality?" Chen Wusheng was full of doubts.
He wanted to believe it, but he was not a fool. It was really hard for him to believe that a bowl of Chinese medicine could cure split personality.
Su Ying affirmed: "Chinese medicine is profound and extensive. You should give it a try. It won't kill you. At most, it will be useless. I am your lifesaver and I am giving you a chance to return to the city and change jobs. Don't you believe me?"
Su Ying gradually approached him and said, "Everyone is busy. Drink, drink quickly."
Chen Wusheng's eyes turned from confusion to teasing as he stared at Tang Yao. His gaze also moved from the teacup to Su Ying's serious, innocent and clear eyes, which didn't even blink when she lied.
Chen Wusheng curled his lips, and his whole demeanor and temperament changed drastically, looking innocent and coquettish, "Aying, you want to trick me into drinking this pot of tonic soup again..."
Su Ying was waiting for this moment, waiting for him to come out of Chen Wusheng's body.
She pounced on him like a sharp sword, gritting her teeth, "You are wrong, I want you to die!"
…
Han Jingyuan was on guard outside the dormitory for educated youths, trying not to let anyone disturb Su Ying and Chen Wusheng.
Their conversation is confidential and cannot be heard by irrelevant persons.
Fortunately, arrangements had been made in advance. Today, most people on the farm went to have a snack and watch an open-air movie. Even the educated youth at the educated youth site, except Chen Wusheng, went.
However, there were still some troublesome people at the educated youth site. When Hao Chunying heard that Chen Wusheng was not feeling well, she made a bowl of noodles with shredded pork and fried a crispy egg, burying it under the noodles. When she brought it to Chen Wusheng, she was stopped outside by Han Jingyuan.
"This is not a military camp. Why are you stopping me?"
Comrade Hao Chunying was furious and even more worried about Chen Wusheng's safety, so she broke through Han Jingyuan's defense. She was a female comrade and would not be persuaded or scared away. Han Jingyuan wanted to avoid physical contact and was in a stalemate for a while.
Han Jingyuan said patiently: "Comrade Su Ying is treating Comrade Chen Wusheng for schizophrenia. We cannot disturb him."
This time, Hao Chunying put away the spikes all over her body and said with gratitude, "I understand. How long have you been in there? Why don't we get closer to prevent any emergencies so that we can provide timely care."
Han Jingyuan's face was as gloomy as water. "This is confidential treatment. No strangers allowed."
Hao Chunying rolled her eyes and thought that if the treatment was not over, the noodles would fall apart.
At this moment, there was a loud "bang" sound from the double room in the educated youth's point, and Han Jingyuan's face changed drastically.
Hao Chunying was very panicked, "What's going on? Is there a fight?"
Without any prior arrangement, they both sprinted towards the hut where Chen Wusheng lived.
Han Jingyuan kicked open the wooden door that was bolted from the inside, and was knocked into the cabin by the impact of Hao Chunying who followed.
At this moment, Chen Wusheng's back was against the square table, his body and legs were almost bent at a 90-degree angle, and he was being pressed down hard by Su Ying.
The empty thermos cup fell to the ground, and on the stool there was a cup of inky Chinese medicine, emitting a strange smell.
Chen Wusheng seemed to be in great pain, squeezing out a few words from between his teeth, "Aying, can you bear to see me die?"
Han Jingyuan's whole body was shocked. His brain went blank due to the impact of these eight words. He even forgot to step forward to help.
…
In the fight between Su Ying and Chen Wusheng, Su Ying had the upper hand.
She originally wanted to use her supernatural powers to strangle the remaining spiritual body from another world in Chen Wusheng's body, and then pour out the "Ten-fold Tonic Chinese Medicine".
At the critical moment, Han Jingyuan and Hao Chunying rushed in. While she was stunned, Chen Wusheng struggled even harder.
Su Ying quickly changed her plan. If she was going to act, she had to do it completely. She silently apologized to Chen Wusheng in her heart and said, "I'm sorry. You just have to endure the taste buds. At most you will vomit a few more times. It won't kill you anyway. It'll just make you feel a little nauseous."
She shouted, calling Han Jingyuan's soul back, "Han Jingyuan, come and help me suppress Chen Wusheng."
Then she turned to Hao Chunying and asked, "Comrade Hao Chunying, please help me inject the Chinese medicine into him, and then the personality you hate will never be able to control Chen Wusheng's body again."
This worked. After all, Hao Chunying had been scolded by the secondary personality. She quickly picked up the Chinese medicine and just approached, but before she could feed it to him, Chen Wusheng struggled violently and couldn't feed it at all, and a lot of it spilled.
Hao Chunying was so distressed that she raised her head and took a big gulp of indescribable Chinese medicine. Then she leaned over and fed the whole teacup of Chinese medicine to Chen Wusheng, who was restrained, mouth-to-mouth.
Su Ying took the opportunity to speed up the strangulation of the supernatural power. When Hao Chunying fed him the last sip of Chinese medicine, she completely strangled the spiritual body from the other world from Chen Wusheng's body.
…
On the way home, Han Jingyuan was still a little dazed. The Chinese medicine really wiped out Chen Wusheng's second personality, at least that's what it seemed like for now.
He hesitated and said, "Aying, Chen Wusheng's second personality asked you if you were willing to give it up. What's going on?"
Su Ying had used up too much of his energy and said tiredly, "I don't know either. His second personality is full of tricks. Maybe he is trying to confuse us."
"But……"
"I have to leave tonight. I'm too tired. Let me rest for a while." Su Ying interrupted him, "Han Jingyuan, if you have any questions, can we talk about it after the mission is over?"
Han Jingyuan immediately fell silent.
After arriving home, Su Ying knocked on the boys' door, went in to wake up the two boys, and said to them, "Han Jingchen, your second uncle and I are going on a mission. You and Gu Zhinan must take good care of the sisters these days. If you encounter something you can't handle, go find Qiao Lanlan and Su Xinyi. Do you hear me?"
Han Jingchen immediately became nervous, "You, you guys, Second Uncle alone is not enough, why do you want to go on the mission?"
Su Ying said "hush" and told them not to wake up the sisters next door. "I'm just the right person. There's no one else to replace me. Don't worry, this mission is not dangerous. I'll be back in a few days."
Gu Zhinan was worried and scared, "Sister, Han Jingchen and I will take good care of the family, you and brother-in-law must come back safely."
…
Three days later, in a remote fishing village in southern Fujian, Su Ying was taken out to sea with her hands tied behind her back and her eyes blindfolded.
After a lot of twists and turns, Su Ying boarded a big ship and was taken to the cabin.
Chen Wusheng whispered in Su Ying's ear: "Comrade Su Ying, this is the fishing boat Cui Xingdong is planning to use to escape from the country. I will untie the rope for you first..."
There was a dull thud, like the sound of a wooden stick hitting the back of the head, and Chen Wusheng, who was untying the rope, fell down.
Then the black cloth covering Su Ying's eyes was taken off. Cui Xingdong held a wooden stick in his hand, looked down at Su Ying, pinched the inch-wide black cloth strip with his fingertips, and looked at Su Ying with a smile.
Cui Xingdong said: "Little girl, do you really think I can't see through your little tricks?"
