A three-bedroom interior in Lijingyuan Community, Dongcheng District, Southeast City.

Xie Wanting was leaning on the sofa in the living room watching TV. Unlike before, the TV series she watched today was not her favorite Thai drama, let alone her "Kun P". She was watching her lover, Guo Xiaotian, the director of the Southeast City Public Security Bureau, who liked to watch the most in the domestic TV series "Secretary Dakang 2".

The TV picture changed with the change of the plot, but Xie Wanting's expression never changed. She stared blankly at the direction of the TV screen, but recalled the little things about her and Guo Xiaotian's past in her mind...

One summer night twenty years ago, it was already past 10 o'clock. Xie Wanting, who came to Southeast City alone to work hard, dragged her tired body on the way back to the dormitory.

Her right lower abdomen was still thrusting and paining intermittently, and it felt like her intestines were tied up by a rope and then pulled by someone. This symptom has lasted for more than three hours...

At first, the frequency of the pain was not high, and she thought it was her period early. However, as time went by, the interval between the pain became shorter and shorter, and the pain became stronger and stronger. The feeling of being twisted made her unable to straighten her waist again. She could only press her hand on the lower right abdomen that seemed to be beating constantly. With the pain, she felt a wave of nausea. In the end, she couldn't hold on, so she could only stop slowly and squat on the side of the road. Beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down her forehead...

This scene happened to be seen by Guo Xiaotian, who was out on patrol at the time. Guo Xiaotian, who was a soldier, briefly understood the situation and carried Xie Wanting on his back and ran straight towards the hospital. It took him nearly a kilometer and arrived at the hospital in less than five minutes.

After a doctor's examination, Xie Wanting was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and needed surgery immediately. However, her parents and relatives were all far away in Hexi Province!

At that moment, the unbearable pain and the helpless feeling of being alone made her unable to bear it anymore, and tears fell like pearls with broken threads...

Looking at Xie Wanting's pear blossoms with rain, Guo Xiaotian's heart actually ached faintly, and he was so panicked that he was at a loss. It was not until the doctor asked him to sign that he realized that he could not delay and had to undergo surgery immediately...

Because the hospital was sent to the hospital in time and the operation went smoothly, Guo Xiaotian and his mother took care of Xie Wanting for 7 days in the hospital. A beautiful marriage started from that time. After the two got married, they were in a close relationship and respected each other. They had never quarreled or even blushed. In a flash, 20 years have passed.

How many times have they sat on the sofa in the living room watching TV together? At the beginning, Xie Wanting liked watching Korean dramas, "Oba" in TV dramas, and Guo Xiaotian liked watching official dramas such as police and gangsters and "Secretary Dakang". But every time he "grabbed" the remote control, Xie Wanting always won. Later, because the "stick" deployed THAAD, Xie Wanting vowed not to watch Korean dramas again. However, for less than two days, Xie Wanting became obsessed with Thai dramas and "Kun P", so the "game" of "grabbing" the remote control began again, but Xie Wanting was still the "queen" of victory. When the two of them were together, happiness was actually that simple...

However, all this ended from the moment Guo Xiaotian was unconscious more than 20 days ago! During the more than ten days when Guo Xiaotian was unconscious, Xie Wanting stayed by the bed all day long, without thinking about food and food, and could not sleep at night. However, when Guo Xiaotian woke up, the original Guo Xiaotian was "disappeared", replaced by a cold, serious, and even stranger! There was no conversation, no laughter, and no longer scrambled for the remote control with her...

Xie Wanting has not watched Thai dramas these days. "Secretary Dakang 2" has been playing repeatedly on TV. She looked back at the bedroom door countless times, wanting to see if Guo Xiaotian opened the door and came out to watch TV with her. However, the closed door told her again and again that everything was her hallucination.

She didn't know why Guo Xiaotian became like this. Sometimes she even felt that the sky seemed to collapse. It was not until this moment that she realized that she had always been a "little woman" who was spoiled. Tears had long slipped from Xie Wanting's face...

"Dingdong, Dingdong"

Two harsh doorbells pulled Xie Wanting back from her thoughts. She wiped away the tears on her face and corners of her eyes, pursed her lips, took a deep breath, calmed down, and then walked over to open the door.

At this moment, it was not someone else standing outside the door, but Zhao Jianyi, Zhong Lin, Luo Xiaoman and the big black iron pillar.

Although Zhao Jianyi had called before, Xie Wanting was still shocked by Tie Zhu as soon as she opened the door. Although she had also seen the "little giant" Yao Ming on TV, it was the first time she saw Tie Zhu like a man standing in front of her in real life.

As soon as several people entered the house, a "little lark" happily flew out of a bedroom...

"Sister Luo, you are here. I have been waiting for you for a long time, ah..." The lark-like voice stopped abruptly, replaced by a scream.

The girl who came out was Guo Xiang, the daughter of Xie Wanting and Guo Xiaotian. A typical post-00s generation, who is in the second grade of high school this year, and has a particularly good relationship with Luo Xiaoman.

Although Luo Xiaoman had a weird personality before he met Zhong Lin, he was not the kind of ignorant second-generation official, but an unscrupulous academic master, so she would often come to tutor Guo Xiang for some homework. Before going out today, Luo Xiaoman also sent Guo Xiang a WeChat message saying that she was coming, so when Guo Xiang heard the doorbell ring, he cleaned up a little, and rushed out of the bedroom. Unexpectedly, he suddenly saw the iron pillar that looked like a gorilla as soon as he entered the door.

"Luo..., Sister Luo, human..., Taishan of the ape..." Guo Xiang hurriedly stopped and said with a tongue sticking out at Luo Xiaoman.

"Xiang'er, don't be rude. That's a friend brought by your sister Luo and Uncle Zhao." Xie Wanting said with a stern face.

However, Tiezhu was not angry at all and laughed "hehehe": "You..., why are you talking..., speaking the same as me..."

Luo Xiaoman, who was standing beside him, had already been trembling with laughter, and could no longer stand up. The "giggle" laughter was as pleasant as a silver bell.

"snort……"

Seeing Luo Xiaoman's smile so exaggeratedly, Guo Xiang pouted his mouth, then turned his eyes twice and pointed at Zhong Lin and said, "Sister Luo, this is the big pervert you are talking about?" After that, he pursed his lips and stopped him from laughing out loud, his face was already flushed.

Although Luo Xiaoman is a few years older than Guo Xiang, he is still a best friend. Girls talk about everything. Luo Xiaoman had also told Guo Xiang about Zhong Lin before, but he didn't expect Guo Xiang to joke at this time.

"Stinky girl, look at how I will deal with you in a while..." Luo Xiaoman finally stopped smiling and shouted at Guo Xiang. Then he looked at Zhong Lin awkwardly, and his little face turned red when he looked at Guo Xiang angrily and said, "You stinky girl, I surrender, you can surrender..."

With a "puff", Guo Xiang finally couldn't help laughing and blinked at Luo Xiaoman proudly.

Zhao Jianyi and Xie Wanting were confused, but now they were not in the mood to care too much. It was the best choice for young people to ignore the matters between them. However, Zhong Lin's expression was not so natural. He suddenly remembered the scene when Luo Xiaoman almost fell down and threw himself into his arms a few days ago in the hospital, but his hands were a little "humble". His face suddenly seemed to have a fire, and it suddenly turned red to his ears...

Fortunately, Zhao Jianyi had already introduced them to them at this time. After getting to know each other, everyone sat on the sofa in the living room.

Zhong Lin asked Xie Wanting to introduce Guo Xiaotian’s situation in recent times. What Xie Wanting said was basically the same as what Zhao Jianyi said. When he learned that Guo Xiaotian was in the bedroom, Zhong Lin did not delay and asked Xie Wanting to call him out.

After a while, Xie Wanting came out of the room, but waited for 5 minutes. Just when Xie Wanting wanted to go in and call again, Guo Xiaotian walked out of the room.

Zhong Lin looked at Guo Xiaotian up and down, and saw that he was slightly shorter than Zhao Jianyi and his physique was relatively strong. The difference was that Guo Xiaotian's lower abdomen was slightly raised. It must be because of the lack of exercise recently. When he was middle-aged, it would be easy to do so if he did not exercise properly. Looking at his face, Guo Xiaotian had thick eyebrows, big eyes, straight nose and wide mouth, and flushed ears. This should be considered a standard handsome man when he was young! However, Zhong Lin looked carefully and found clues. At this moment, Guo Xiaotian's eyes were dull and his eyes were also blurred...

After walking out of the door, Guo Xiaotian walked straight to Zhong Lin and stretched out his hand, saying in a stiff voice: "Hello!"

Although the voice is a bit stiff, it is indeed the most wonderful thing in Xie Wanting's ears, because this is the first sentence Guo Xiaotian took the initiative to say to others in the past month.

At this moment, Zhong Lin also stretched out his hand, but as soon as he held his hands together, Guo Xiaotian's body became weak, and then his body collapsed. Zhong Lin hurriedly stepped forward and held him gently and let him lie on the sofa.

"Old Guo..."

"Dad, what's wrong with you..."

Xie Wanting and Guo Xiang hurriedly grabbed their hands and held their shoulders, shaking and shouting...

"Zhong Lin, Director Guo..." Zhao Jianyi asked with some heart.

Zhong Lin did not answer Zhao Jianyi's words, but instead raised his head to the northwest of the living room, curled his lips, raised his eyebrows, and then raised his right hand to stretch out his middle finger...

"Zhong Lin, your expression just now was..., provocative?! Could it be..."

Through these two days of contact, Zhao Jianyi has discovered that Zhong Lin is a very calm person. He never thought that Zhong Lin would show the kind of joke and provocative expression that just now was full of contempt. Yes, that expression and action were not only provocative, but also a naked contempt!

In a villa three kilometers away from Guo Xiaotian's house, an old man with his left hand trembled and took back the round light technique, grabbed a teapot on the table, and slammed it fiercely on the opposite wall...

"Children Huangkou, please wait for me! It won't take long to let you lie at my feet and beg for mercy, so that you can know what the sky is high and the earth is thick!"

The old man gritted his teeth and cursed. A piece of Hetian jade ornaments on the table had been shattered by him.

Besides, Zhong Lin's expression returned to normal after he felt that he was being peeped at, and he nodded to Zhao Jianyi and said, "Uncle Zhao, as soon as Director Guo came out, I felt those peeping eyes. And when you came to see Director Guo, did he say hello to you?"

"No, Director Guo rarely speaks now and looks blind to people..." Zhao Jianyi said.

"Stop talking about Jianyi and the others, I didn't even talk to us, I was like a stranger..." Xie Wanting added from the side.

"That's right. I've been thinking about how that person secretly controlled Director Guo and asked him to give up the 'population missing case'. Today I suddenly realized that he should use a Taoist technique similar to the 'Thousand Miles of Meaning Transmission'. So just now when I shook hands with Director Guo, I directly used the 'source power' to click his sleeping acupoint, which would help me further examine him."

"Then you made that expression like that just now..." Zhao Jianyi asked in confusion.

"Uncle Zhao, you're right. I'm provoking the person in the dark, just to anger him! Since he is in the dark and it's hard to find him, I'll use one move to lure the snake out of the hole and force him to appear! Uncle Zhao, you can immediately mobilize some people to monitor Director Guo's house for 24 hours, first to protect the safety of him and his family, second to see if you can catch some suspicious people and find a breakthrough..."
