Chapter 187 He's Coming (Edited)

Li Guodong looked at Huo Lanci's back and nudged Ji Qing who was sitting next to him: "He is right here, why did he ask someone to send us a letter of recommendation?"

Ji Qing shrugged: "I don't know, maybe it was a slip of the tongue."

In his opinion, Lao Huo is not only capable but also mysterious. You can make friends with such people, but you should not be too curious about them, otherwise you will never know when something bad will happen.

Ji Qing quickly changed the subject, looked at Lu Guohua, and curiously asked him many interesting things about his work.

Nanfu County:

Zhang Chunlei was lying on the hospital bed, looking at the person who suddenly appeared. He was terrified: "No way, no way, I was only injured four days ago, and you showed up?"

"You set out immediately after receiving the news that I was injured?"

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how his elder brother, who was so busy that he was exhausted and didn't even take a rest, could appear in front of his bed at such a fast speed.

During this mission, he was shot. He did not want to inform his family, but before he fell into coma, he did not have time to tell his brothers around him. By the time he came back from the gates of hell, they had already informed his family.

He thought it would be his mother who came to take care of him, but he never dreamed that the person who came was actually his eldest brother.

Zhang Wenqian walked to the bedside and sat down. He sighed and asked, "Does it hurt?"

After asking, I felt that this question was a bit redundant. How could it not hurt to be shot?

"Mom and Dad are busy, and grandma is feeling a little unwell, so I have to take care of you."

"Don't do that." Zhang Chunlei said quickly, "I can't sleep with you by my side."

Zhang Wenqian looked at his frightened brother with a faint smile, and asked him with a half-smile: "I don't eat people, what are you afraid of?"

Zhang Chunlei heard this and thought to himself: You won't eat people, but your methods scare me.

He still remembers that when Yu Wanqing was fifteen years old, Uncle Yu fell ill and Aunt Yu had to take care of him in the hospital. Some people saw that Uncle Yu had not been discharged from the hospital for more than half a month and thought that Uncle Yu was doomed, so they began to target Yu Wanqing.

The young man from the Yao family took advantage of his father's work in the Cabinet Committee and brought a group of young gangsters to block Yu Wanqing. He wanted to take Yu Wanqing away in the name of the Cabinet Committee and finally defile her.

The eldest brother had his own spies in the Cabinet. As soon as they started planning, the eldest brother got the news and took people to deal with the boy from the Yao family.

When they arrived, the Yao family boy had no time to stop Yu Wanqing, and they were blocked by the eldest brother instead.

He still remembers that his elder brother had killed the boy from the Yao family.

The twenty or so people brought by the Yao family kid were all beaten up by the eldest brother.

After the eldest brother beat all the people down, he also said: It is the father's fault if the child is not educated well.

Then, the Yao family was uprooted by the eldest brother, and the remaining twenty or so members of Xiao Hongbin's family were also dealt with, and some were even forced to leave Shangyang City.

His elder brother has never been a good person.

Having seen how his brother dealt with people, he would be a fool to go up to him.

Let him take care of himself in the ward?

Zhang Chunlei was worried that he would talk in his sleep at night and say things that his big brother didn't want to hear. Then it might not be as simple as being shot.

Zhang Wenqian frowned slightly: "What nonsense are you talking about."

"Can I still hang you up and beat you up?"

He approached his brother and asked with a smile, "Or have you done something to offend me, and are you worried that I will plot against you?"

Zhang Chunlei quickly shook his head: "That's not true. Why would I feel bad about it?"

"Brother, you came to Nanfu not for me, but for her, right?" He was not so arrogant as to think that his brother did it for himself.

Zhang Wenqian frowned when he heard this, and after a long while, he sighed: "I just came to take a look, of course, and take care of you by the way."

He hasn't had a good rest for a long time, so this is a good time for him to take a break.

Zhang Chunlei stared at his elder brother for a long time, shook his head and whispered softly: "Did something happen to you?"

"Dad and grandpa both said that you will be transferred to Beijing after the New Year. How can you have time to come to Nanfu?" The more Zhang Chunlei thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

At first I was so excited about my big brother's arrival that I was dizzy, but now that I think about it calmly, everything is wrong.

Something must have happened to my brother.

Zhang Wenqian smiled and said, "The job in Jingshi has been replaced, and the job in Shangyang has also been taken over. Your brother is now stuck in the middle of nowhere. If he takes a step forward, he is on a cliff, and if he takes a step back, he is on a surging ocean current. It seems that no matter which way he goes, he will end up in a dead end."

His voice was very soft and gentle, as if he was telling someone else's story.

Zhang Chunlei was terrified when he heard this.

I couldn't help but ask quickly: "What's going on?"

This shouldn't happen. His elder brother holds a high position in the government. How could such a thing happen?

Zhang Wenqian glanced at his brother and said, "Someone has reported me, but our Zhang family is upright and honest. Even if they investigate, they won't find anything. They can only stop my job first. This is much better than implicating my family or even sending me to work."

"Besides, I'm tired after these years and want to have a good rest."

In the past, he worked very hard with a bit of selfishness in order to get a high position. But now, the belief that kept him moving forward seemed to be broken suddenly, and fatigue set in. Except when he was seriously ill, this was the first time he wanted to have a good rest in many years.

So, just go with the flow.

Facing his brother's worried look, Zhang Wenqian laughed: "Don't worry, your elder brother is not someone who can be bullied. I will slowly settle the score with them after I have rested well."

He has been in that position for many years, and not for nothing.

Zhang Chunlei tried to persuade his elder brother, but found that no matter what he said, it was all in vain. His elder brother was now like an eagle trapped in a cage.

He believed that a small cage was not enough to trap his elder brother. He just felt suffocated, unwilling, and uncomfortable for his elder brother.

Zhang Wenqian patted Zhang Chunlei's arm gently. His gentle smile seemed to have the ability to calm people down: "Okay, let's see what delicious food Big Brother brought you."

Being angry is the most useless thing. Find back what you lost from yourself.

Zhang Wenqian stayed in the Nanfu Hospital for three days. On the morning of the fourth day, Zhang Chunlei stuffed a bicycle key into his hand and said, "Hurry up and go to the Five Star Brigade of Ningshan Commune to find Yu Xiaowu."

"My comrade is here to take care of me today, so you don't have to stay here."

Zhang Wenqian thought about it and took the bicycle key: "I will leave after your comrades come over."

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Zhang Chunlei's comrade showed up, and Zhang Wenqian left with peace of mind.

As he rode his bicycle to the Five-Star Brigade, Zhang Chunlei's words kept echoing in his mind: Brother, you are not coming here this time to ruin the relationship between Yu Xiaowu and Huo Lanci, are you?

Zhang Wenqian was so angry that he laughed at the look his brother gave him.

It seems that if I really did something, I would be a complete scumbag in my brother's eyes.

Sadly, he didn't think about doing anything, he just came to check on her and make sure she was doing well.

When Zhang Wenqian arrived outside Yu Wanqing's house, she had just finished work and saw the man standing outside the fence from a distance.

I thought she was a stranger, but after taking a closer look, I instantly realized that she was the person in the original owner's memory who was often stuffed with White Rabbit candies, malted milk, and milk powder.

In the original owner's memory, Zhang Wenqian is much more prominent and important than Zhang Chunlei.

She said something to Gao Qingmei and the others beside her, then trotted over to Zhang Wenqian and asked with a smile, "Brother Wenqian, why are you here?"

Zhang Wenqian looked at Yu Wanqing with a smile: "Your brother Chunlei was injured and hospitalized, so I came to take care of him. His comrades are in the hospital today, so I took some time to come and see how you are doing in the Five-Star Brigade." The last time he saw Xiaowu was during the Spring Festival last year. Since then, he has been traveling between Jing City and Shangyang City, and he spent most of last year in Jing City.

Therefore, when Yu Xiaowu was plotted by the fake Yu Laoer to go to the countryside, he was unable to receive the news in the first time. When he returned from the meeting in Beijing, Xiaowu had already gone to the countryside.

He looked further and found something that made him terrified and extremely angry.

The fake Yu Jiayi and Zhou Cuimei actually dared to plot against Yu Xiaowu. They wanted to use Xiaowu as a stepping stone. This is simply hateful.

Unfortunately, he came back too late and could do nothing for her.

When Yu Wanqing heard that Zhang Chunlei was injured, she immediately remembered that Huo Lanci was also injured when he came back. She looked a little concerned: "How is Brother Chunlei now? Is he seriously injured?"

Zhang Wenqian said: "It is inevitable to be injured when on a mission. I was shot once, but I am much better now. I can sit up and argue with me."

Yu Wanqing nodded, and while leading Zhang Wenqian into her own yard, she said, "I will go see Brother Chunlei tomorrow. He is in Nanfu County. He was injured, so he didn't even know to ask someone to send me a message."

Yu Wanqing brought Zhang Wenqian into the house: "Brother Wenqian, please sit down first. I'll go get you a cup of tea."

After she finished speaking, she went into the room, found an unused cup, washed it, and poured a cup of tea for Zhang Wenqian: "This is Nanfu's green tea, try it."

Zhang Wenqian smiled and thanked him. After taking two sips of tea, he nodded and said, "Not bad. It has a strong fragrance and a light aroma when you take a sip."

"This is tea produced from old tea trees in the mountains. I picked it from the secretary's house." Thinking of the process of plucking tea leaves, Yu Wanqing couldn't help laughing.

Some time ago, during his break, the secretary drank tea at home. Yes, he drank tea. Even though he often went to the fields to help with work, he was actually a person who would never treat himself badly.

She went to see the aunt about something and happened to see the secretary drinking tea, so she drank two cups of tea and then fell in love with the tea that his family had brewed last year.

After much persuasion, the secretary finally took away a pound of silk when he returned. He was so distressed that he drove the man away with a gloomy face, and even shouted that he had let a wolf into the house.

Unfortunately, it’s too late to regret.

"Beautiful mountains, beautiful water, and beautiful tea." Zhang Wenqian praised. Along the way, he had to say that the Wuxing Brigade of Ningshan Commune, Nanfu County was a good place with really beautiful scenery.

He looked at Yu Wanqing and asked softly, "Xiaowu has been in the countryside for nearly a year. Have you adapted to life here?"

In his impression, Yu Xiaowu was a strong, decisive, and brave girl, and she was also quite skilled in martial arts, so he was not very worried about her safety. Instead, he was worried that she would not be able to get along well with the people in the production team and the educated youth site.

It’s not that being alone is bad, but it feels completely different when there’s someone around to talk to.

Yu Wanqing nodded: "I am a person with strong adaptability. No matter where I am, I can take root and grow."

Zhang Wenqian laughed out loud when he heard this: "This is a good thing."

At this moment, Huo Lanci, wearing a straw hat, walked into the yard. Zhang Wenqian heard the voice and looked out, and saw a handsome man walking slowly towards him. The simple straw hat could not conceal his temperament.

Zhang Wenqian understood that this was the young master of the Huo family in Beijing, and also Xiaowu's boyfriend.

No wonder Chunlei hesitated to speak before he came here, and then reminded himself not to be discouraged.

Just this face is far from what I can compare to.

Moreover, he would not think that the young master raised by the Huo family in Beijing was really just a simple educated youth. The fact that Xiaowu was willing to date him proved that the person in front of him was outstanding enough.

After Huo Lanci entered the house, he took off his straw hat and looked at Zhang Wenqian with a smile: "There are guests at home."

Yu Wanqing and Zhang Wenqian both stood up, and Yu Wanqing introduced the two people with a smile.

"Brother Chunlei was injured, and Brother Wenqian came to take care of him and came to see me."

Huo Lanci put his straw hat away and asked quickly, "How is Comrade Chunlei now?"

Zhang Wenqian told the story of Zhang Chunlei again, and Huo Lanci heaved a sigh of relief after hearing it: "It's good that nothing happened, it's good that nothing happened."

Having said that, Huo Lanci had doubts in his heart. His last mission was to find the person who was doing experiments in the Ningshan Commune laboratory.

Zhang Chunlei was the main person responsible for this incident, and it was he who applied for support from his superiors. His team and Zhang Chunlei's team worked one in the open and one in the dark. After capturing the enemy spies and Japanese, he left first and did not actually meet Zhang Chunlei during this period.

Before he left, Zhang Chunlei was not injured, so how come he was shot now?

After Huo Lanci finished speaking, he started to wash the rice and cook.

Yu Wanqing wanted to help, but Huo Lanci shook his head and said, "Go talk to Comrade Wen Qian. It's just cooking for three people. It will be quick."

He looked at Wan Qing with a smile: "Go ahead, be obedient."

When Yu Wanqing heard the last four words, she instantly felt goosebumps all over her body, and thought secretly in her heart: There is something wrong with Huo Lanci.

Zhang Wenqian watched the two of them getting along warmly, and also saw the happy smile on Xiaowu's face, as well as Huo Lanci's doting on her.

The look in Huo Lanci's eyes when he looked at Xiaowu was so familiar to him. Only when one truly loved someone to the core would one have such a look in his eyes.

He also had the same look, but Huo Lanci could look at Xiaowu like this openly.

He could only hide it all.

I didn’t dare let anyone else know except Zhang Chunlei. I didn’t dare to do so before and I certainly won’t do so in the future.

Thinking of this, his heart ached slightly.

He knew very well that after this, he really had to give up. No matter what happened in the future, he could only stand in the position of the eldest brother of the Zhang family and could not cross the line.

Otherwise, once this matter is known and spread out, it will only affect her happiness and her future.

The Zhang family will also be implicated.

Yu Wanqing finally listened to Huo Lanci and sat aside to chat with Zhang Wenqian, with Huo Lanci interjecting from time to time.

In the end, Huo Lanci and Zhang Wenqian started talking about the current situation.

Yu Wanqing could only sit aside and listen.
