Blazing Armour - Chapter 125
Ren Yu waited until his father fell asleep before he walked to the office in a trance. He didn’t turn on the light and sat rigidly in his chair for a long time.
He heard the laughter of the soldiers on the playground outside the window, because they were building a campfire with the old tires used for training and fire fighting. He could also hear the Spring Festival Gala music from the entertainment room. Everything was happy and warm. He sat alone in the office without lights on and felt cold all over.
He understood in an instant, why Dr. Pompeii wanted to deeply hypnotize his father, and why they wanted to stop talking.
What he doesn’t understand is when Gong Yingxian began to doubt his father and how he looked at him when he doubted his father. What kind of mentality has gong Yingxian held for so long, watching him try his best to find clues of that year?
He felt so sick that he didn’t know what to do.
Today could have been a happy day. If everything was as he imagined, Gong Yingxian could accept his confession. But now, he even began to doubt that Gong Yingxian was close to his real purpose.
After all, Gong Yingxian once said “I feel sick”.
Ren Yi raised his hand to cover his eyes, and his body trembled slightly.
How did this happen? He tries his best to help Gong Yingxian find the murderer, but Gong Yingxian suspects his biological father?! He even concealed him, tricked him into signing exemption documents and deeply hypnotized his father without authorization!
No, it’s not like what Gong Yingxian will do. He won’t treat himself like that. After they have experienced life and death for several times, how can he?!
Maybe, maybe Dr. Pompeii did it without authorization, maybe the agreement is no different from the ones he signed before, or maybe Gong Yingxian didn’t know it at all?
Yes, things haven’t been clarified yet. He shouldn’t make a judgment too early. He always thought that Dr. Pompeii had some problems, especially Gong Yingxian’s memory of the bird mask. Was it really the doctor surnamed Wang who did it? I’m afraid Dr. Pompeii has more time and ability.
Despite his doubts, Ren Yu kept looking for reasons for Gong Yingxian. In fact, he was also looking for reasons for himself. He was looking for a reason for himself not to blame Gong Yingxian.
He could not accept that Gong Yingxian would treat his father like that, making his father constantly return to the most painful past, and even began to confuse the reality.
Ren Yu clenched his fist. His heart seemed to be bound with lead and kept falling.
He wants to ask clearly. He wants to look at Gong Yingxian’s eyes face to face and ask clearly.
He took out his mobile phone and sent a wechat to Gong Yingxian: when will you come?
Gong Yingxian replied quickly: wait for me as early as possible.
Ren Yi looked at those words repeatedly and saw that his eyes were congested.

Ren Yu went into the bathroom, poured cold water on his face, adjusted his facial expression in front of the mirror, and then went downstairs.
Soldiers and their families are watching the Spring Festival Gala and making dumplings. They also perform an impromptu program in turn to entertain themselves.
“Is the old captain asleep?”
Ren Ying smiled: “when he fell asleep, Lao Ren was easily tired. It was estimated that he couldn’t eat dumplings.”
“That’s a pity. Today, there are shrimp and scallops in the dumplings. They are very fresh. The instructor is not stingy only when handling new year’s goods.”
Qu Yangbo gave him a white look: “do you know what financial management is? You think it’s easy to manage finance. You can spend as much as you want. I save everything you eat, wear and use every day.”
“Still a stitch, my mother.”
“This is rhetoric. Read more books.”
“You can shut up. No one in our squadron can speak better than the instructor.”
“I don’t think the whole detachment can be said. If we hold a Beijing fire debate competition, the instructor will be the first.”
“Hahaha -”
Listening to the laughter and laughter in the room, the smile on Ren Yu’s face was very stiff. He didn’t want to be seen, so he took the initiative to help make dumplings. He was just absent-minded, anxious, or even afraid, waiting for Gong Yingxian. Wait for his answer.

Seeing that it was almost midnight, the soldiers prepared the campfire in the yard and waited for the whole point to be lit to light up the good fortune of the coming year instead of fireworks.
Ren Yu stood on the playground wrapped in cotton padded clothes, watching the young soldiers fighting excitedly. He recalled that when he first entered the squadron many years ago, was he the same as them?
Li Sa shouted, “team Ren, it’s almost time. There are five minutes left. Call everyone out.”
“OK.”
At this time, the gate of the squadron suddenly opened, and a black SUV slowly drove into the playground. It was gong Yingxian’s car. Ren Yu’s heart immediately mentioned his voice.
The car stopped steadily, the door opened, and a long leg against the sky took the lead in crotch. Gong Yingxian walked towards him in a black leather jacket and jeans with a smile on his face.
Ren Yi could hear some female family members behind him exclaiming in a low voice. Many people react like this when they see Gong Yingxian for the first time. He does have a unique and beautiful appearance, but that’s not the point that they like him.
His intelligence, his simplicity, his persistence, his honesty, his courage, and so many good qualities are the reasons why Ren Yu fell deeply and couldn’t extricate himself.
Therefore, Ren Yu is particularly afraid to face the truth. He is afraid that he has never really known Gong Yingxian, but has been blinded by the appearance.
Gong Yingxian walked to Ren Yu and gasped: “fortunately, there is no traffic jam now.” He raced all the way to the new year with Ren Yu. In the new calendar year, they crossed the new year in danger, and their original first “date” also failed, so he was bent on making up for it in this traditional year.
Ren Yu looked at Gong Yingxian in a daze, his eyes in a trance.
“Ren Yi?” Gong Yingxian looked at Ren Yu puzzled.
“Oh.” Ren Yu returned to his mind, “you’re not. Why did you come so early?”
“I don’t like to get along with those relatives.” Gong Yingxian raised his hand and pressed the car key. The trunk slowly opened. He said to Ding Qing, “there are a lot of new year goods in the trunk. Go and unload them.”
“Oh, good.” Ding Qing was used to Gong Yingxian ordering people everywhere. He shouted, “brothers and sisters have delicious food. Come and unload it!”
Ren Yu looked at the time: “it’s new year’s Eve. We’ll order a bonfire. It should be good…” he immediately realized that the bonfire can’t be fun for Gong Yingxian, so he changed his mind, “if you don’t want to see it, you can wait for me inside.”
Gong Yingxian glanced at the middle of the playground: “it doesn’t matter. I’m not afraid of this degree of fire.”
“OK.”
“Are you tired? Why aren’t you energetic?”
“Well, I worked in the squadron in the morning and picked up my father from the hospital in the afternoon. I haven’t been idle all day.” Ren Yu finished and carefully observed Gong Yingxian’s expression.
Sure enough, when he heard that Ren Yi went to pick up his father and came back, Gong Yingxian looked a little different.
Ren Yu’s heart sank. He just wanted to continue to say something. The soldiers and their families have surrounded the campfire. Obviously, the time is coming.
“Come on, get the drone up. Lieutenant, you’re ready to ignite. Oh, you take pictures in another place. The angle is good. Here we are. 10, 9, 8… 3, 2, 1, ignite!”
The campfire was ignited in an instant, and the flame suddenly ran more than three meters high, just like a towering torch. It stubbornly lit the night despite the erosion of the cold wind.
What kind of existence is fire? It can be ruthlessly destroyed or gently illuminated. It is wild and difficult to tame, and it can be used by people. Human beings should not only use it, but also fight it.
It has to be said that Ziyan’s explanation of fire is reasonable. It is like God’s will – without will, whether it is destruction or rebirth, burning or warmth, fire is only fire, and fire only does one thing, that is combustion, and what it brings to all things is the creation of all things.
No wonder Ziyan can brainwash so many believers.
“Wow, happy New Year!”
“Happy new year.”
Everyone was excited to pay New Year’s greetings to each other.
At the same time, Gong Yingxian quietly held Ren Yu’s hand behind his back. He said he was not afraid. In fact, he was still a little uncomfortable because he was so close to the fire.
Ren Yi should have made an effort to hold back, but he suddenly had no such strength, or confidence.
Everyone danced around the campfire excitedly. After a few rounds, they left the playground and entered the conference room.
As soon as the door closed, Gong Yingxian hugged Ren Yu from behind, shook him gently, whispered close to his ear, “didn’t you find anything different about me today?”
Ren Yu paused: “what?”
“I’m wearing new clothes.” Gong Yingxian said dissatisfied, “can’t you see it?”
“Very nice.”
“It’s different from the usual style. You like this casual one.” Gong Yingxian kissed Ren Yu on the cheek, “your face is cold, but your neck is hot.”
Ren Xuan opened Gong Yingxian’s hand, turned around, looked at him expressionless, and whispered, “I have something to ask you.”
Gong Yingxian noticed that the atmosphere was unusual. In fact, since seeing Ren Yu today, he has found that Ren Yu is not right. How smart he is and what he has realized. He also said, “you ask.”
Before Gong Yingxian came, Ren Yu thought about many gentle questions, but looking at this familiar face, he suddenly didn’t want to beat around the bush. He took a deep breath and asked in a trembling voice, “did Dr. Pompeii give my father deep hypnosis?”
Gong Yingxian’s face visibly faded with the naked eye, and his eyes hung down, avoiding Ren Yu’s eyes.
Looking at Gong Yingxian’s reaction, Ren Yu’s heart was cool.
He knows, he knows!
“Ren Yu, this matter…”
“You know.” Ren Yu looked at Gong Yingxian in disbelief, “you know, but you kept it from me.”
“I know you won’t agree.”
“Of course I won’t agree!” Ren Yu suddenly roared.
His emotions erupted violently without warning, and Gong Yingxian was stunned.
Ren has never been so cruel to him, and he has never seen such Ren.
“You, you listen to me…”
“You inspired it.” Ren Yu’s eyes were instantly congested. “You instructed Dr. Pompeii to deeply hypnotize my father.”
Gong Yingxian looked at Ren Yu’s angry eyes. His heart was completely flustered. He bit his teeth and said, “yes.”
The last glimmer of hope was crushed. Ren Ying’s body shook and his heart ached. He stared at Gong Yingxian unacceptably: “you doubt my father, you doubt my father!”
“Ren Yu, calm down.” Gong Yingxian took a deep breath, “we have always doubted the people who participated in the rescue. Your father was the first to enter the scene…”
“Yes! He was the first to enter the scene!” Ren Shuan said, “he was the first to enter the scene and save you from the fire!”
Gong Yingxian said diffidently: “many evidences we sorted out prove that the murderer is very professional, or he has a professional helper, and the first person to enter the scene has the most time and opportunity. We just want to confirm…”
“What do you want to confirm?” Ren Yu stared at Gong Yingxian. “I spared no effort to help you find evidence and find the murderer. In the end, you doubt my father? I tell you, my father is a kind of person with me. He has been promoted and rich all his life. He is upright and upright. He has saved countless people. He can never harm people!” Ren Yu’s voice gradually choked. He was disappointed and sad to the extreme.
“I believe you, and I don’t want to doubt your father, so I hope to get more information from his memory. I want to catch the murderer one day earlier, so that you can be safe one day earlier.”
“You’re not for my safety at all.” Ren Ying pointed to the palace and stared, “you’re just for revenge, for your own revenge.”
“Do the two conflict?” Gong Yingxian was also anxious, “Ren Yi, calm down. Our enemy is the same!”
“Really?” Ren Xuan clenched his teeth and said, “in your heart, my father may also be your enemy. You suspect that the man who saved you from the fire is the murderer of arson. Why don’t you tell me? Why don’t you dare to tell me!”
“Because I know you can’t accept it!” “So you dare to do all this without telling me! What’s your reason!” Ren Xuan roared, “Gong Yingxian, what’s your reason? I’m never willing to be angry with you, right? You think I can tolerate you, don’t you? Even if you hurt my father!”
“I didn’t!” Gong Yingxian roared, “I don’t want to hurt him! Dr. Pompeii is very cautious. He will often recall that memory in the near future, and he will be fine in a while!”
“Fuck you, it’s okay!” Ren Ying stared at Gong Yingxian with red eyes, “You’ve done deep hypnosis yourself. You know how painful the process and sequelae are. My father is a patient. Maybe you just recall it a few times after hypnosis. My father will really go back! He never goes back to that year, because it was the most painful and painful year in his life! But he goes back today, and maybe he will go back again and again, all because of you and because of you You brought him back to that year without my permission! ” Ren Yu was so angry that he pushed Gong Yingxian hard, “how dare you say you didn’t want to hurt him!”
Gong Yingxian stumbled when he was pushed. He looked at Ren Yu’s angry expression and felt heartache. Ren Yu would never be so fierce to him, let alone look at him with such eyes.
The look frightened him.
Gong Yingxian bit her lip gently: “… I just want to catch the murderer.”
“Yes, you want to catch the murderer. All you have done in the past 19 years is to catch the murderer.” Ren Yu choked, “but what does that have to do with my father? He saved you 19 years ago. I dare not say that every firefighter is 100% good, but I know the people around me. My father has put himself in fatal danger countless times in order to save people. He may become Sun Zi countless times. Such a person can never harm people.”
Gong Yingxian said with difficulty, “Ren Xuan, I understand your trust in your father, which is why I don’t want to tell you, but too many evidences… Point to the first person to enter the fire. The door lock, the fire point, the situation at the scene, and the testimony of the first person to enter the fire directly affect the investigation results.”
Listening to this rational and cold analysis, Ren Yu only felt like death. He can’t imagine that in the days when he was close to Gong Yingxian, Gong Yingxian was secretly planning how to use his father, and even suspected that his father, his hero firefighter father, was an arsonist.
Ren Yu’s voice suddenly became calm: “when did you begin to doubt my father’s? From the beginning?”
Gong Yingxian didn’t speak. It was a default.
“Is that why you approached me? Is that why you made friends with me?”
Gong Yingxian suddenly looked up: “no! I didn’t know you were a father son relationship!”
Looking at Gong Yingxian, Ren Yu suddenly felt that he didn’t know the man. At this time, every word he said became unreliable. He shook his head: “no, you already knew that you were intentional. It’s not difficult to check. Half of the people in the fire control system know that Ren Xiangrong is my father.”
“I really don’t know!” Gong Yingxian’s eyes were red with anxiety. “At that time, we had not started investigating the rescue workers.”
Ren Yu suddenly showed a smile more ugly than crying: “even if you didn’t know before, what will you do after you know? You suspect that I am the son of the murderer who killed your family. What do you think of me? What kind of mood do you sleep with me? Ah? Do you feel very proud and make full use of me from inside to outside?!” The more he said, the more desperate he was. He recalled everything he had seen since they met. All the sweet past he thought had changed.
Gong Yingxian shouted, “I didn’t, I didn’t want to use you! No matter what the truth was, you were innocent. I never treated you and your father together.”
Ren Ying held back his tears and turned his back: “go.”
“I apologize.” Gong Yingxian looked at Ren Yu’s cold back and was completely flustered. A voice shouted in his head, “don’t do this to him. He can’t stand Ren Yu doing this to him. The person who always treats him gently and leniently can’t do this to him,” I’m sorry… ”
“I don’t want to see you now. Let’s go.” Ren Yi closed his eyes.
“Ren Yu…”
“Go!” Ren Xuan roared.
Gong Yingxian’s eyes were red and he wanted to cry. He bit his lower lip sadly, turned and slammed the door and left.
Tears ran down Ren Yu’s cheeks.
His sweetheart is not that kind of person. Although he is willful, he is gentle in his bones. He will not treat him like this and stab him in the heart when he just lost his comrades in arms.
But who is it.
Does he really know the person he loves?
