Chapter 98 Arrested

After lunch, Jiang Yu borrowed a wheelchair from the hospital, and Qi Nuliang was able to get off the ground, so he took him to the garden downstairs to get some fresh air.

In the early autumn afternoon, the sun was warm, and the small garden downstairs of the city hospital was full of patients who were supported by their families for a walk.Jiang Yu pushed Qi Nuliang to the tree-lined path with the crowd behind him, and suddenly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

Qi Nuliang looked at the cigarette in Jiang Yu's hand, then at his face, and suddenly smiled, "You still understand me."

As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers, and Jiang Yu took out the cigarette sensibly, put one between his two fingers, then took out the lighter, picked up the flame, and lit it for him.

The nurse tried to smoke again before and was caught by the nurse. After repeated warnings, even the cigarette case and lighter were confiscated from him.Day by day, I almost forgot what smoke smells like.

Qi Nuliang raised his face, letting the mottled autumn sun shine on his face.He squinted his eyes and swallowed the clouds comfortably, and even his spirit improved a lot.One mouthful after another, Qi Nuliang smoked one, then reached out to Jiang Yu: "One more."

"The doctor said you can't smoke, smoke one today."

"The doctor doesn't understand me. I'm the type who will get better faster if I smoke a few more cigarettes."

Jiang Yu put away the cigarette case: "I will smoke tomorrow, be obedient."

"...Who is obedient, little brat."

Jiang Yu just smiled and pushed Qi Nuliang to continue walking along the trail.

The human voice gradually faded away, and the neatly trimmed willow branches and bead curtains on the roadside drifted in the wind.The sun is warm and the world is peaceful. It has been a long time since Qi Nuliang has such a peaceful and peaceful moment.

He thought, in his life, he always seemed to be doing wrong things, and he always lived his life like walking on eggshells, with fear.Maybe he is really stupid, he has not read any books, and his brain is not smart enough, so he always chooses the wrong path.Everyone can live in peace, but it is always so difficult to come to him.

"Just stay here for a while, and you can rest for a while."

Jiang Yu parked his wheelchair under the shade of a tree, and suddenly squatted in front of him, holding the armrests of the wheelchair with both hands, and buried his face in his knees.

Qi Nuliang was a little surprised, he touched the head on his knee: "What's wrong?"

After burying for a while, Jiang Yu said, "Brother, I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of? With me, don't be afraid."

Jiang Yu squeezed the arm of the wheelchair and put his arms around Qi Nuliang's waist, his arms gradually tightened: "I'm afraid something will happen to you."

"Nonsense, what will happen to me."

"Your injuries...are you being beaten?"

"Who do you listen to..."

"You are doing something very dangerous." Jiang Yu interrupted his sophistry, his voice was a little anxious, "We live together, you can't hide it from me.

"They make you do bad things, and still treat you like this. I'm afraid that one day, they will be dissatisfied with you, not only beat you, but also harm you, what should I do?"

"No, don't scare yourself."

"You are just a pawn to those people. They can hit you like this, and they can do worse things to you. But you are everything to me. I really don't know. If something happens to you one day, What should I do? How am I going to live alone?"

Facing Jiang Yu's questioning and confession, Qi Nuliang also panicked: "It's so serious..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yu took his hand and pressed it on his chest, raised his face, and looked at him with a pair of sad eyes.

"I just want to be with you, we live peacefully without any worries."

Seeing the child's expression like this, Qi Nuliang couldn't continue to deal with it lightly.He withdrew his hand, caressed Jiang Yu's face with his rough palm, and rubbed his thumb against his cheek: "Okay, I promise you, I will find a way. It's okay, don't be afraid."

Jiang Yu also stretched out his hand to press the back of Qi Nuliang's hand, sinking his cheek into his palm, trying to use this kind of intimacy to cover up the worries in his heart.

"Brother, you have to be good."

"I will, don't worry."

The next day, in front of Wu Kequan disguised as a doctor, Qi Nuliang finally let go and said that he would cooperate with the police.

For this police officer who wanted to bring Cao Hongjin to justice, Qi Nuliang only asked him to protect Jiang Yu.If Jiang Yu finally fell into Uncle Hong's hands, the people involved in the list, the evidence he has, even if they are dead, he will not say a word.

Ten days later, Qi Nuliang was discharged from the hospital, and the doctor told him to go home and recuperate.

But he didn't finish his work, so he couldn't go back to Hongcheng, so he could only go back to the residence Cao Hongjin arranged for him.Jiang Yu was very worried and wanted to stay a few more days, but was persuaded by Qi Nuhao to go back to Hongcheng.

Before getting in the car, I told him: "Unless I come back, whoever asks you to come to the city, you don't come, no matter what the reason is. If someone insists on letting you come, you should call the police. Usually stay in school and don't go anywhere .”

Jiang Yu nodded: "Brother, you must be safe."

"I will. I will come back to celebrate your birthday with you in two months."

Jiang Yu threw himself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Qi Nuliang patted him on the back: "Get in the car."

This year's winter came earlier, and there was already a snowfall in November of the lunar calendar.

For this small town in the middle of the country, snow is not uncommon, but it still can't stop everyone's love for snow.

The next section was physical education class, and the students ran out in a swarm, and some naughty students opened all the windows in the classroom.The heat dissipated completely, and the cold wind carried snowflakes into the classroom, blowing onto the face of Jiang Yu who was sitting by the window.

The squad leader hurried over to close the window, and scolded the boy who opened the window.

"Are you okay? That guy has no brains."

Jiang Yu shook his head.

"Aren't you going to gym class?"

"I won't go. Monitor, please help me and the physical education teacher ask for leave, saying that I have a cold."

"You have a cold? Do you want to see the school doctor?"

"It's okay, I'm just afraid of the cold."

"You boys are also afraid of the cold." The squad leader laughed twice, and followed the big team out.

Jiang Yu was the only one left in the classroom.These days, he has become more silent and indifferent, and he is not even interested in the daily perfunctory with his classmates.Just because she had Qi Nuliang in her heart and was worried about him.

Even the head teacher noticed his abnormality, and asked him to talk to him twice, asking him if something happened at home.Jiang Yu prevaricated a few words casually, unwilling to say more.Seeing that his grades were not affected, the head teacher let him go.

It was his birthday last week, and Qi Nuliang came back as scheduled.Driving the car, the compartment was filled with clothes bought for him, food and a duvet, and the birthday cake on the passenger seat had been shaken apart by the rush.

Qi Nuliang took him out for a meal, and told him to study hard and not to think about it.After eating, send him back to school and leave.

Jiang Yu couldn't bear it, he just sat in the car and didn't want to get out.

Qi Nuliang pressed his shoulder: "Don't worry, those shitty things are coming to an end soon."

"When will you be back next time?"

Qi Nuliang pursed the corners of his mouth, a little difficult to speak.

He pulled the zipper of Jiang Yu's coat to his chin, straightened his collar, and smoothed his hair.

"Xiao Yu, you have grown up and look like an adult. Speaking of which, we have only lived together for four years, but I always feel like I watched you grow from a little cub to what you are now. That's it." Qi Nuliang looked at him deeply, feeling a little emotional, "That's great, you've grown up."

"Brother, when are you coming back?" Jiang Yu emphasized his tone, already a little choked up.

"I can't tell." Qi Nuliang subconsciously smoked a cigarette and put it in his mouth, but didn't light it. "You are so old, I won't hide it from you. I have done some wrong things these years. It’s over, and it’s inevitable that you’ll be sentenced…”

"Shhh, don't cry. A man is so manly, he bursts into tears at every turn, what kind of words do he say?" Having said that, he reached out to wipe away Jiang Yu's tears, and stroked his hair to comfort him, "Wait for me to come out, no matter what." Wherever you are, I will definitely find you, why not, don't cry. "

"I'm waiting for you……"

"Well, okay, don't cry, the classmates will laugh at you later. It's cold, wear more clothes, and cover them thickly at night." Qi Nuliang took out a wad of money from his pocket and stuffed it into Jiang Yu's pocket, and then After zipping the zipper, she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "In the future, if you are short of money, go to the manager of Footwashing City, he knows what to do.

"Okay, let's go down."

"elder brother……"

Qi Nuliang grabbed his shoulders and held Jiang Yu tightly in his arms, revealing his true feelings: "Brother, you are the one I can't let go of, I only have you as a family member in this world, you must give me a good care , Study hard, get into a university, and everything is worth it to me.”

A week passed, those words seemed to be still ringing in Jiang Yu's ears, the warmth in Qi Nuliang's chest seemed to still remain in his arms, only all the emotions intertwined in his heart, like weeds in the ruins, kept luxuriating and growing, but It is barren.

And he can't do anything except study, he can only suppress all his feelings and wait quietly.

In the blink of an eye, on New Year's Day, Qi Nuliang couldn't come back, so he only called him.

I don't know if it's because he's afraid of being eavesdropped or because Qi Nuliang's phone calls and text messages to him are very rare these days.Only Jiang Yu would send a message at night to report that he was safe, talking about what he had done that day, and it has been uninterrupted for several months.

Just as every household was preparing for the Lunar New Year, with lanterns and festoons everywhere, and a New Year atmosphere, the Provincial Ministry of Public Security announced the crackdown on the province's extraordinarily large gang-related criminal case.

After four years of meticulous investigation, the Ministry of Public Security arrested a total of 174 criminal gangs headed by Cao Hongjin, Wang Ganjun, and He Qicai in one fell swoop, and destroyed a huge criminal network based in Nanquan and Fuyang that spread to [-] provinces across the country.

The resolution of this case has added some exciting power to the originally cheerful atmosphere approaching the Spring Festival.News media from the city to Hongcheng reported this case in turn, and it became the main topic of discussion among people in the streets and alleys.

No one connected this important case with Qi Nuliang, he was just a gangster in the small county of Hongcheng.So except for Jiang Yu, his disappearance did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

Deng Jianghua was the first to notice something was wrong.He was taken to detention for half a month, but most of the questions asked by the police were about Qi Nuliang.After he came out, he immediately went to talk to the manager of Footwashing City. The manager remembered what Qi Nuliang said to him a few months ago, and estimated that he probably went in nine out of ten.

When they found Jiang Yu for verification, Jiang Yu only said that he didn't know anything.
