Blazing Armour - Chapter 131

Qiu Yan and Ren Yi go to the canteen first. Gong Yingxian returns to the bus to get his boxed lunch.

Before Qiu Yan could speak, Ren Yu took the lead and said, “Captain Qiu, you don’t have to apologize to me. As you said, you’re just doing your job and performing the duties of the police. If I were you, I would check it out.”

“Thank you for your understanding, but I’m still morally sorry for you. After all, you really helped us a lot.” Qiu Yan lowered his head, “Please rest assured that I will try my best to find out the truth. Recently, the case has been making progress. We have locked several arsonists in China through the blazing angel and have a chance to close the net together when appropriate. After confirming his identity, we found that his money was falsely claimed after his death, and we are also pursuing it.”

Ren Yi nodded: “what about the white flame?”

“Bai Yan’s anti criminal investigation ability is very strong. The clues we tracked down several times have been destroyed. There must be professionals in the organization covering up Bai Yan’s trace and hiding him. At present, we have increased the investment of wanted police force and monitored the communication channels of some people related to Bai Yan. He will be arrested.”

In fact, it has only been a month since he dug the bodies of his wife and daughter in baichi city from the foundation of the abandoned amusement park. Ren Yu knows that it is not easy to hunt down criminals, especially those with high intelligence and premeditation, but he can’t help being anxious.

When they got to the canteen, they took the plates and went to cook. There are only more than 40 people in the Phoenix Squadron, so the canteen is served on small tables, just like a small restaurant, but there are hundreds of people in Hongwu branch. When Ren Yu lined up to cook, he felt he was back in college.

After choosing a corner to sit down, Qiu Yan said, “how about the food in our canteen?”

“I think our squadron is better, but the squadron has fewer people and is easier to do.”

Qiu Yan smiled: “then I have time to go to your squadron for a meal.”

“OK.”

“You have come to our branch so many times. This is the first time to eat in the canteen?”

“Yes.”

“Shouldn’t I bring you to dinner before?”

“… we had lunch in his car.”

“Oh, yes.” Qiu Yan seemed to think of something. “Sheng Bo said that he would cook two meals every day and put them on Ying Xian’s car. One of them was prepared for you.”

Ren Yu was silent. Scenes came to his mind. They ate on the black SUV of Gong Yingxian countless times. They could eat a box lunch with both hands and have a candlelight dinner like joy and romance. They must really like that person, so it’s beautiful to do anything together.

He once thought Gong Yingxian was an angel who didn’t know anything about the world – although such a metaphor would drop goose bumps when people heard it, and Gong Yingxian’s character actually has many defects that ordinary people can’t stand at all, but in his eyes, all defects are excusable and distressing, so Gong Yingxian is good at everything. If he thinks it’s good, it’s good, He enjoyed it anyway.

Like a person so blind, no wonder you can’t see anything clearly.

Seeing that Ren Yu didn’t speak, Qiu Yan forced a smile: “in fact, I guessed that there would be a problem between you two, but I didn’t expect that the problem would come first on Ying Xian.”

Ren Yu sneered. He wanted to ask Qiu Yan, worried that he would hurt Gong Yingxian with “adult experience”? Now it’s clear that Gong Yingxian is using himself, but he didn’t say it. Qiu Yan won’t have to bear this blame.

Qiu Yan carefully observed Ren Yu’s expression and said sincerely, “I understand your anger, and Ying Xian is also very sad. I really don’t want to see you like this. What can I do?”

Ren Yu knew that Gong Yingxian would never tell Qiu Yan the real relationship between the two people, which meant that Qiu Yan could not really “understand” his anger. He shook his head: “let’s solve it ourselves.”

Qiu Yan sighed and looked at Ren Yu, leaving only helplessness on his face.

After a while, Gong Yingxian walked into the canteen. He was tall, with long legs and refined appearance. He was the most outstanding wherever he went, but the reaction of the people in the canteen was bigger. He looked at him with surprise.

Ren Yi thought that Gong Yingxian might appear in the public canteen for the first time.

Sure enough, a colleague immediately joked: “Wow, Dr. Gong, how can you come to the canteen? Don’t you never eat in the canteen.”

Gong Yingxian nodded at him. Without paying too much attention, he walked straight towards them, put the two heat preservation boxes in his hand on the table, sat down with him, and then pushed one of them in front of Ren Yu, “there are your favorite braised meat and fried lotus root tips in soy sauce.”

“No, I can’t eat too much.” Ren Yi buried himself in his food.

Gong Yingxian lowered his head, opened the lunch box and ate absently. While eating, he also peeped at Ren Yu.

Qiu Yan sat next to them, embarrassed. She coughed and stood up: “I’ll go to the bathroom.”

Of course, Ren Yu knows that Qiu Yanyi is not eating, but wants to create an opportunity for him to make peace with Gong Yingxian, but now he feels tired facing Gong Yingxian, which is the collapse after fierce anger.

After Qiu Yan left, Gong Yingxian glanced at Ren Yu several times. He wanted to talk and stopped several times. Finally, he lowered his head in frustration. The whole person exuded a kind of silent sadness.

Ren Yu also felt very depressed. This meal was just like chewing wax.

Suddenly, he felt his knee hit. At first he thought he had accidentally met him, but soon, Gong Yingxian hit him again, gently and slowly, as if testing him or calling him.

Ren Yi retracted his legs, but the space under the table was limited. He could not hide his long legs.

Ren Yi coughed and simply turned his body to his side.

Gong Yingxian put down his chopsticks, hesitated and said, “the nursing home you chose, they don’t have many medical qualifications. There have been lawsuits of nursing workers abusing the elderly before, pressed down with money, and…”

“He is my father.” Ren didn’t look up at him, “you don’t have to worry.”

Gong Yingxian pursed his lips: “I promise I will never do that again. Send the old captain back. There is no place to provide better care than us.” His original intention was just to be nice to Ren, but after discovering Ren Xiangrong’s identity, everything began to develop in an uncontrollable direction.

“I shouldn’t have accepted it.” Ren Yidan said, “we are not relatives. I accept this gift for nothing. To be honest, it is enough to accept bribes. Now this place is where my father should have gone. If he doesn’t live well, I will change places for him or hire a nanny, but I won’t let you get close to him again.”

Gong Yingxian said sadly, “what about us? Are you going to treat me like this all the time?”

Ren Yi took a mouthful of rice and put down his chopsticks: “I’m full. Let’s go first.” He grabbed his coat and walked out without looking back.

Gong Yingxian slowly clenched his fist, and his face became gloomy with the naked eye, as if the temperature of the surrounding air dropped sharply. He also stood up and chased for a few steps, but looking at Ren Yu’s determined back, he suddenly had no courage to catch up.

He had never experienced such a thing, nor bowed his head to anyone. He was flustered, confused and at a loss. He didn’t know how to face Ren’s rejection and indifference again and again. He couldn’t see Ren treat him coldly. He couldn’t stand Ren’s moving away from him. Ren’s relentless turn took away his joys, sorrows and joys, leaving him empty, as if he had lost everything.

Ren Yu ignored him. What should he do?!

—–

What Gong Yingxian said that day really worried Ren Yu, so he called his father every day to confirm how his father was doing in his new place, and he got a reassuring answer every time.

After calming down for a few days, Ren Yu began to rethink his relationship with Gong Yingxian. He still couldn’t let go of what Gong Yingxian did, but his heart would ache when he saw the other party’s depressed and anxious appearance. He realized that even at this point, he still instinctively didn’t want to make Gong Yingxian sad.

While spitting on himself, he struggled with how to continue to cooperate with Gong Yingxian. Even, what would the future of him and Gong Yingxian look like?

The only contact between them these days is that Gong Yingxian asked him to use his official account to release some cases warning minors to pay attention to fire safety, so as to stimulate Fang Zhixu.

Ren Ying did it, and then it worked quickly. One Friday afternoon, Fang Zhixu appeared in the Phoenix squadron.

Fang Zhixu dressed very casually, carrying a large schoolbag on his shoulder. Judging from the falling posture of the schoolbag, it is obvious that there are many books in it.

Ren Yu frowned at him: “what are you doing in the squadron?”

“I just got off the cram school and happened to pass by.” Fang Zhixu smoothed his hair and looked at the reception room. “It hasn’t changed much with me in the past two years.”

“What changes can a reception room make?” “Sit down, have a drink, coke and milk,” Ren said

“No.” Fang Zhixu obviously didn’t like Ren Yu to treat him as a child. He deliberately sat on the sofa with his legs crossed to increase his “area”.

Ren Yi said, “is the college entrance examination this year? How are your grades? Which school do you want to test?”

“It’s OK. The last one was OK.” Fang Zhixu skimmed his lips, “just make a job.”

“To whom, parents?”

“Who else can there be?” Fang Zhixu said here with disdain.

“It’s for yourself. You should study hard, stay up in the middle of the night and go to that place for what?”

Fang Zhixu looked at Ren Yu without blinking: “do you really want to know?”

Ren Yu chuckled: “don’t make a fool of yourself. If you want to say, just say it quickly. Adults are really busy.”

Fang Zhixu crossed his legs: “I said, will you tell the police?”

“If the information you said is useful, of course I will tell the police. I would have cooperated with the police in handling the case.”

“Then why should I say it?” The floc of the square is cold.

“Then why did you come?”

Fang Zhixu narrowed his eyes: “you are different from what I imagined.”

Ren Yu smiled and shook his head, “I don’t know how to answer your sentence.”

“Why did platoon leader Sun sacrifice at that time?” Fang Zhixu looked at Ren Yu, “the news report is very vague.”

Ren Yi’s face changed slightly: “why do you ask this?”

“I just want to know, can’t I?” Fang Zhixu stared at Ren Yu, “I want to know how a hero fell to save a little boy? How? Why did he die? What did he say before he died? Did he…”

“Shut up!” Ren Yu roared and his eyes were angry. “Get out, or I’ll throw you out.”

Fang Zhixu said unconvinced, “why, I just want to know what happened. Why did you sacrifice platoon leader Sun instead of you?”

Ren Yu suddenly stood up from the sofa, walked a few steps to Fang Zhixu, grabbed his collar and lifted him up.

Fang Zhixu’s chest fluctuated violently. He looked up at Ren Yu with obvious excitement in fear.

Ren Zhuo said in a cold voice, “roll.”

“I’ll trade with you.” Fang Zhixu showed a morbid smile, “you tell me how platoon leader Sun died, and I tell you what I saw in Wenhui mall.”

“Smelly boy, you want to tease adults. Do you really think you have that weight?”

“I didn’t tease you. I really saw something, something very important, and I took it away.”

“… what?” Ren Yi loosened him and stared at him fiercely, “give me a hint, otherwise I won’t believe you.”

Fang Zhixu curled his lips and smiled: “the fire time you got now is designed. The thing I got can help you confirm an important timeline and maybe help you catch the murderer.”

“Why do you know this!” Ren Yu bites his teeth.

“I can’t say, what, exchange?” Fang Zhixu grinned.

Ren Yu looked at Fang Zhixu coldly: “… OK, I’ll tell you.”
