As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere between the two of them instantly became tense and very strange.
"Chen Xian'an, you're joking. What injury? I'm just under too much pressure recently and haven't had enough rest." Zhou Rang was silent for a moment, and finally broke the silence with a smile.
"Really?" Chen Mu also slowly raised a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Some time ago, the police station received a report that a large-scale tobacco and alcohol resale case had been discovered in their jurisdiction, covering almost the entire province. Such a huge amount of speculation and profiteering naturally attracted the attention of various departments.
Based on the clues, the police investigated Sang'an County and found the time and place of one of the transactions.
Chen Mudong signed up to participate in the operation and successfully hit one of the suspects in the waist, but he did not expect that the other party was so cunning that he escaped while being surrounded.
One day he was ordered to search for a suspect here, but he made no progress for the entire morning. Then he saw a man of similar height and build from a distance. Before he could approach him for questioning, he caught a man who was raping and evading inspection.
Even if he is not involved in the reselling case, he is definitely not a good person.
After dealing with this matter, when he went to find that person again, he found that he had put on his hat and was about to leave. The suspicion in Chenmu's heart grew bigger and bigger, so he immediately shouted to stop the other party.
He never expected that the other party was actually an "acquaintance", Zhou Rang, Zhou Zhiqing, whom he had met in Xiaojia Village.
Thinking of Xiaojia Village, a trace of pain flashed in Chenmu's eyes, but he quickly hid his emotions and returned to indifference.
"What else?" Zhou Rang said as he took out a cigarette box from his pocket, lit a cigarette lazily, took a puff, and slowly exhaled white smoke rings. His face was full of sarcasm, as if he was mocking Chen Mu's unfounded guess.
He rarely smoked since he had been with Su Nan. Now, staring at the burning cigarette butt at his fingertips, Zhou Rang's eyes became darker and darker.
Seeing this, Chen Mu remained calm, took two steps forward, and said, "Please cooperate with us and raise your hands above your head."
Zhou Rang saw that Chen Mu's hand had already grabbed the hem of his clothes. His pupils shrank and he subconsciously clenched his fists. He looked at the group of policemen gradually surrounding him and calculated in his mind what his chances of escaping were.
But after catching a glimpse of the ring on his hand, he suddenly loosened his fist, took a slow puff of cigarette, and gently closed his eyes.
The next second, he heard the sound of clothes rubbing against each other. It was Chen Mu who lifted up the hem of his clothes.
"Gauze." As soon as Chen Mu said this, all the policemen nearby took out their weapons from their waists and pointed them at Zhou Rang.
Zhou Rang shook the hand holding the cigarette, and the ash fell and scattered in the air.
"Wait." Chen Mu frowned slightly when he saw the white gauze. He looked up at Zhou Rang who looked calm. He felt something was strange in his heart, so he tore open the medical tape used to fix it and untied the gauze one by one.
After seeing the situation under the gauze, everyone was stunned at first, and then retracted their weapons.
"If you get bit by a mosquito, you don't need to wrap it with gauze, right?"
"I was shocked. It turned out to be a mistake."
"Who said it wasn't? I was so nervous, and in the end, this is it?"
Chen Mu clenched the gauze in his hand and stared at the small red patch on Zhou Rang's waist and abdomen. He looked at it again and again in disbelief, and even touched it twice with his hand. Only when he was sure that it was just a simple mosquito bite did he let go.
"Sorry, we made a mistake."
Hearing this, Zhou Rang pretended to be calm and took the white gauze handed to him by Chen Mu. He was shocked as much as the others, but he pretended to be calm and glanced at everyone.
"I don't blame you. I was too nervous about you, so you insisted on tying me up. Shen An, who is alone, probably doesn't understand this little bit of romance."
The low and laughing voice entered Chen Mu's ears like a demon, successfully making his face darken.
"Zhou Zhiqing, you'd better go catch the train to Shanghai first. If you miss this one tonight, you'll have to wait until tomorrow." Before Chen Mu left, he couldn't help but glance at the white gauze in Zhou Rang's hand again. He felt something was wrong.
But the evidence was in front of us, and Zhou Rang was not injured, so we could rule him out as a suspect.
Never mind. Maybe he's just been too sensitive lately. Whenever he meets someone who looks like the suspect, he can't help but be suspicious.
"Thank you for the reminder." Zhou Rang stuffed the gauze into his coat pocket, picked up his suitcase and walked quickly towards the waiting hall.
The whistle sounded and the train to Shanghai started slowly.
Zhou Rang carried his suitcase and walked to his bed to sit down. He wiped his face with his hand and was surprised to find that his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat. His breathing gradually became heavier. Seeing that some people around were looking at him, he quickly walked towards the bathroom.
After closing the toilet door, Zhou Rang looked up at the mirror hanging on the wall. In it was reflected a face filled with immense relief for having escaped the disaster. Then he lifted up his clothes and piled them on his chest.
There should have been a hideous wound on the lower left side of the well-defined and firm abdominal muscles, a bloody mess that was too painful to look at, but now there was only a light pink lump left.
Just as they said, it was like being bitten by a mosquito.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Rang touched the small bag, his face full of doubts. He knew better than anyone that it was absolutely impossible for the injury to heal in just half a day, because he was clearly changing the dressing on the wound yesterday.
Thinking of this, Zhou Rang took out the circle of pure white gauze from his coat pocket, but shouldn't it have been stained red by the blood oozing from the wound?
Zhou Rang's mind was in a state of confusion, and he even began to suspect that there was something wrong with his mind that caused his memory disorder.
Then he smelled a familiar, almost imperceptible scent. It was the smell of the water that Su Nan often gave him to drink, and it was also the smell that Su Nan often carried on his body.
Zhou Rang put the gauze to the tip of his nose, and the fragrance became stronger and stronger. After smelling it for a long time, his confused mind gradually calmed down, and his tense nerves completely relaxed at this moment, and he felt refreshed.
"Nannan, you saved me."

"Sister Su, are you really leaving? Our team leader said that you can stay." Chen Youshan stood beside the station and looked at Su Nan reluctantly.
Su Nan tapped Chen Youshan's nose with amusement and said with a laugh, "I need to go back and think about it. Besides, I haven't been home for so long, I miss you so much."
"What is there to consider? The treatment in our trade union is much better than outside. Just agree to our leader. I will miss you to death." Chen Youshan pouted and said coquettishly.
"I will miss you too. We will meet again if we are destined to. Let's not talk about it now. The car is here. Bye." Su Nan hugged Chen Youshan, waved to her, and boarded the car back to Sang'an County.
Leaning back in his chair, Su Nan's gaze fell on the scenery whizzing past outside the window, but Zhou Rang's face kept flashing in his mind.
What are you doing now?
