Chapter 61: Boys change a lot when they grow up.
Zeng Nanjiang soon met Ajun, and at the same time he clearly understood what it meant that "a man changes a lot when he grows up."
This is more than just eighteen transformations, it's like the little golden monkey has been transformed into the Monkey King.
If the captain hadn't told him that Bian Ling was Ah Jun, even if he had exhausted all his detective skills, he would never have guessed that the cold, pale, handsome guy in silver-rimmed glasses was the Ah Jun from the past... the one whose only white teeth were when he smiled?!
Bian Ling put his hands in his pockets, not paying any attention to the astonishment in the other person's eyes. His tone was unusually polite: "Long time no see, teacher."
"Oh, hello, you... have changed a lot."
Zeng Nanjiang's limbs were broken, and even though they have been reattached now, he cannot use them excessively for the time being, so he came here in a wheelchair. He was originally full of anticipation, but now that he really saw Ah Jun ten years later, he felt so uneasy that he didn't know what to do.
"Indeed, you have a keen sense of observation." Even his core has changed, so how can it not be considered a big change?
Even the way he spoke had changed. Zeng Nanjiang knew Ah Jun had been through a lot, but when he saw Ah Jun, who had been tempered by hardship, his first reaction wasn't pride, but a faint sadness. "I'm sorry you saw me in such a bad state. I'll trouble you later."
"It's not particularly bad, and you've already paid for the medical expenses, Teacher. We settled the bill in cash."
Zeng Nanjiang couldn't keep up with Ah Jun's thoughts: "What?"
"Ten years ago, the teacher paid for Ajun's high school tuition, didn't he?"
That was just a few dollars. He was undercover at the time, so he couldn't use his previous savings. If he had known that the work style of the town's public officials was so bad, he should have given the child more money to go to high school in the provincial capital even at his own risk. Although the captain joked that his actions were enough to give him a first-class merit from the country, Zeng Nanjiang still felt that he had not done well enough.
"Besides, it was the teacher who went into the mountains and brought Ah Jun out. It was raining so hard that day. Not everyone can be as brave and fearless as the teacher, risking their life to go into the mountains for a random acquaintance."
Zeng Nanjiang blushed at the compliment: "I... am not as good as you say."
[Host, your straight shot has stunned me! ]
"I'm just stating the objective facts. He is indeed a rare, old-fashioned good man."
...Host, the words you use to praise people are a bit strange, but the system doesn't dare to say anything. It can only watch timidly as the host leads the person into the laboratory.
"Now that you've arrived in my lab, you must follow my instructions. This is the consent form for drug testing. To be honest, this process might not be pleasant, so I suggest you read it carefully. If you have any questions..."
Zeng Nanjiang signed his name without even looking at it, but because his hand was not strong enough, the name he wrote was extremely sloppy, and it could be said that it had nothing to do with the three words "Zeng Nanjiang".
Huang Yi silently handed over a piece of red ink, and then a bright red stamp appeared on the scribbled name.
"Then, from now on, teacher, your life belongs to me."
Zeng Nanjiang: "...Okay."
Good communication is a good start for drug testing. Bian Ling took out his tablet and quickly gave several instructions: "Teacher, I remember you are a science teacher, so you should have some knowledge of chemical drugs. This is the formula based on the type of poison you described and your blood analysis report..."
Zeng Nanjiang weakly raised his hand. There was also a real-time synced tablet on the wall next to him. He took a look at it and felt like he was about to get addicted. "That, I don't know how to do."
Bian Ling frowned: "This is very simple, just component analysis."
【Host, redefine simplicity. 】
“…I really can’t.”
What about the cooperation we agreed on?
Bian Ling called the experimenter, handed the difficult communication task to him, and then returned to the laboratory to continue working hard.
Huang Yi reached out and patted Zeng Nanjiang on the shoulder: "It's okay, Bian Shen is just this kind of straightforward character, he doesn't mean to be angry with you."
"...Thank you for your comfort."
Zeng Nanjiang stayed in the laboratory. The long undercover life made his nerves very tense. Even during his hospitalization, he could not sleep well. But when he came to this cold laboratory, he felt an inexplicable sense of security.
Perhaps his body knew that this place was safe before he did. Even if the drug dealers knew that he was not dead, those people would not be able to come here for revenge.
"Hey, you're standing up."
Zeng Nanjiang was used to hearing this voice: "Good morning."
Bian Ling yawned and waved his hand casually: "Oh, it's a bad morning. Is there anything to eat? An apple."
“…Eating cold food in the morning is bad for your stomach.”
Zeng Nanjiang heard from Huang Yi that Ah Jun's stomach was damaged by hunger due to his extremely simple life while studying. Although he is much better now, he is still more fragile than ordinary people.
"Then have a hot apple."
[Host, you really love eating apples. ]
There is a small kitchen in the laboratory, which is specially prepared for Bian Ling. After all, that person once sneaked out in the middle of the night to eat at street stalls, and he never changed his ways. So for the sake of that person's stomach, the chef in this small kitchen is proficient in all kinds of cooking skills, and even cooks street stalls very authentically.
Zeng Nanjiang served a nutritious breakfast with trembling hands: "The fruit after the meal is an apple."
"I prefer to eat it before meals."
However, Professor Bian does not waste food, which is the only thing that makes the chef feel relieved. Although his diner is very willful, he will finish all the food as long as it is served at the table.
After dinner, Zeng Nanjiang went to rehabilitation, while Bian Ling continued to do repetitive experiments. In this regard, even the system admired the host's patience. No one's success came easily.
Even though Bian Ling does have outstanding talent in scientific research, his ability to be so focused is also a kind of talent to some extent.
Normally, at times like this, no one dared to disturb him, not even the system dared to make a sound. It was not until the end of the day's experiment that Huang Yi, who had been waiting outside, sat down in the restaurant with the news.
"What's up?"
Huang nodded: "Something's going on. Ping is very likely to show up."
Zeng Nanjiang was trying to eat with a trembling voice, but when he heard the name, he dropped his spoon: "A Ping? This name... I think I've heard it before."
"'Brother Ayong's' ex-wife is called A Ping. You should have heard of this name when you were there."
Zeng Nanjiang immediately waved his hand, not even bothering to pick up the spoon. "That's not it. My undercover identity is at best a mid-level one. I can't find out what's going on with Brother Yong. Before I went undercover, Brother Yong wasn't a drug lord yet. I don't know his specific family connections. I only assisted in sending his biological samples."
Bian Ling looked up, a look of pity in his eyes. "Teacher, I'll make you some brain-boosting nutrient solution. It might be a little hard to drink, but is that okay with you?" He could even forget something so recent. It seemed like drugs were indeed doing significant damage to the temporal lobe of the brain.
“How bad is it?”
"I don't know. I think it's okay, but those who have drunk it say it's better to be stupid."
How disgusting would that be? How could there be… Zeng Nanjiang had a flash of inspiration. He slammed his head on the table but…didn’t get up: “I remember now. I saw it on a discarded flight ticket. It was torn up, and I thought it was some important information, so I secretly went to search the garbage in the middle of the night.”
He remembered that the garbage dump smelled particularly bad that day. Someone must have vomited there. Just thinking about the sour smell lingered in his nose. It was over. He had no appetite.
"Which flight are you going to? Shouldn't a flight ticket at least have a name and a surname?"
Zeng Nanjiang pointed to Bian Ling who was eating next to him and said, "Ajun is a well-known name. The surname A is very common in some parts of Yunnan Province. I thought you all knew it."
"He's right."
Huang Yi: "...So where are you flying from?"
“Madrid.”
"That's right. We checked Shen Shujing's previous travel information. Although there are many missing itineraries, she did frequently travel between Madrid and Paris. After she got engaged, we secretly strengthened the inspection of import and export personnel. Finally, yesterday, we found a little clue."
Huang Yi opened the folder and said, "This is the guy. He entered the southern province half a month ago with a tourist visa. He traveled all the way from south to north. He should have arrived in Jinshi now, but he disappeared at the Jinshi dock."
"A man? Why do you suspect him?"
"It's very simple. We used a stupid method. We conducted targeted investigations on anyone who had any connection with Chen Shujing, even indirectly. I can't guarantee this in other countries, but in China, a fake identity is a fake identity. No matter how genuine it is, there will be flaws."
"After suspecting him, we immediately contacted our colleagues in Madrid and retrieved his basic information. I don't know if you know that traveling to China requires a bank deposit. This identity is indeed flawless, with complete bank statements and medical insurance, but he was once an employee of WEU."
Zeng Nanjiang was shocked: "Isn't this the foreign-funded enterprise that is doing business with the drug lord this time?"
"That's right. If you hadn't sent the message, we wouldn't have known about the existence of WEU. After you were exposed, WEU was deregistered overnight. Ping might have gotten the message and simply disappeared."
A Ping is different from the blatant Sui Changyong. The latter is seriously ill and eager for quick success, and he almost always catches someone. But A Ping is unpredictable and narrow-minded. Since she has come to China, she must have something to do.
Shen Shujing's engagement must have stimulated her.
Then even if she disappeared, she would definitely appear near Rongshan Group.
"Don't worry, we'll definitely catch her this time." Huang Yi closed the folder. "For your safety, we'll make more careful arrangements around the laboratory building and will never let anyone know that you're researching a drug addiction treatment."
"Oh, I hope I can see your actions before the end of the year."
"clear."
Huang Yi left in a hurry again, leaving Zeng Nanjiang, full of curiosity, facing the border ridge.
"Teacher, people don't need to be very curious."
"?"
"After dinner, I'll do some rehabilitation and leave."
The kind-hearted Professor Bian even got the man a new spoon before leisurely leaving the restaurant.
Zeng Nanjiang: ...Ajun is really not cute at all when he grows up.
**
Shen Xi'an has not had an easy time recently, but in order to reduce his sentence, he can endure it no matter how difficult it is.
But he didn't expect it to be so difficult.
"Mom, I only have one kidney!" Rongshan Group has become so difficult that it needs him to serve rich women to maintain relationships in the business world?
In fact, Sui Ya didn't quite agree. Although she was a little cold towards Xi'an after her daughter came back, after all, Xi'an was the one she loved since childhood. She didn't want her youngest son to fall in love with someone of the same age as her. If the news got out, she wouldn't know where to put her face.
"Your dad said that she is your fan and likes to listen to your singing and dancing. You just need to go over and play with her for two days."
Chen Xi'an wouldn't believe such nonsense: "I haven't been an idol for several years, how could I still sing and dance? Besides, the doctor said I need to rest and not do strenuous exercise."
He was very careful about his life. After one of his kidneys was dug out, he trusted no one except Bian Ling.
When Sui Ya heard this, she immediately became unhappy: "Xi'an, you used to be the most obedient, but why are you becoming more and more unruly this time? Mom didn't ask you to go to the marriage proposal. If Yuchuan could sing and dance, I would have let him go."
Oh, he didn't believe it! At that time, Shen Yuchuan's treatment in the Shen family was so prosperous. Let alone learning singing and dancing, you two were so excited about learning chemistry. If it weren't for the trump card major of the University of Science and Technology, you two would never let go.
Chen Xi'an didn't want to go. He was afraid that his other kidney would be lost. Who knew—
He was actually sent there unconscious.
He experienced the hardships in the Shen family that he had never experienced in the entertainment industry. For a moment, he actually felt that going to jail was not bad.
"woke up?"
Chen Xi'an still pretended to be dead.
"I have the latest drug. Just a little bit and you'll be hooked for the rest of your life."
Chen Xi'an opened his eyes immediately in shock. What the hell?! Is this the most elaborate trick?
"Sui Changyong's offspring is not good."
Chen Xi'an opened his eyes, but all he saw was a man holding a syringe and a cell phone. As for the rich woman? There was no sign of her at all.
The sound came from a mobile phone, and it was even a voice changer.
It's over. The police really guessed it right. He was indeed a bait. Shen Xi'an looked at the needle that was flashing a strange light under the light, and now he regretted it so much. If he had known earlier, he would not have reduced the sentence. It would be better to go to jail.
"Keep an eye on him. If he doesn't obey, use it on him."
"Understood, Boss."
Chen Xi'an was extremely scared, but he really didn't dare to move. He hoped that the positioning system installed under his skin by the police was not blocked, otherwise he would really die.
But what he didn't know was that someone had already replaced his identity and sneaked into the Shen family.
Shen Shujing returned home after a day's work and was about to take a bath when she was startled by the sound of water in the bathtub.
"What are you afraid of? Have you forgotten everything I taught you?"
Shen Shujing was startled and immediately locked the door: "Pine, why are you here! Didn't you see the news of my engagement?"
“I see.”
"I saw you... Sui Changyong might have been arrested."
"I know."
Shen Shujing also knew that Pine was very arrogant. In her eyes, Sui Changyong was just an insignificant chess piece, completely insignificant. But the point was not this: "The point is not this, the point is that the true youngest son of the Shen family is still alive, his name is Bian Ling."
Pine's expression changed immediately.
