It's a pity I still love you

Chapter 14 Time flies, come back to me (2)
Her heart trembled, for some reason, she had an ominous premonition, tears fell down, he looked at his heartache, leaned over to kiss the tears on her face, salty, astringent, she finally Couldn't help crying in a low voice, and he couldn't bear it anymore, kissed her lips fiercely, turned and sucked the kiss, his tongue swept the city in her mouth, so crazy, she felt that she was She was about to suffocate, but he gave her air in a timely manner. Her strength seemed to be exhausted, and she couldn't help reaching out and wrapping his arms around his waist.

She was just tempted by him, as if in a dream, she could still be so close to him, at a distance that she could reach with just reaching out.

With a bang, the scroll fell to the ground.

It was just a moment of absent-mindedness, the world had already changed its direction, she was hugged by him horizontally, and he leaned against her ear, softly said: "Liu Nian, I want you."

There were tears falling, she knew she should refuse, but she seemed to have lost her voice and couldn't say a word.He carried her into the bedroom, put her gently on the bed, and kissed away the tears on her face one by one, so carefully, as if treating a rare treasure.

His breathing became hot, he reached out and unbuttoned her clothes, one by one, he kissed her, his big palms had penetrated into her underwear, touched her smooth skin, his hands had a little She couldn't help but flinch a little because of the coolness, but he had already lifted her clothes straight away.

She didn't refuse, and liquid kept slipping out of her eye sockets. There was a moment of hesitation and struggle in her heart, but she still raised her head slightly to respond to his kiss.

The cold night, the old place, the blue hair scattered, his entry made her feel a little pain, but it was far from the suffocation brought by the despair in her heart, the tears seemed to never stop, the person she was holding and the person holding her It was so real, so real that she felt as if she was in a dream.

She called softly: "Zhi Mo..." Time and time again, she was clearly desperate, but still felt disappointed.Outside the window was a pitch-black sky without even stars, and her heart seemed to have fallen into this boundless darkness, never wanting to wake up again.

Her mind seemed to be empty, she didn't want to think about anything, this moment was forever, forever.

She didn't know how long she had been entangled before she finally fell asleep drowsily. When her consciousness was blurred, she seemed to hear him say in her ear: "Fleeing Years, I love you forever."

She smiled slightly, as if answering him like this: "Zhimo, I don't hate you, forever."

This sleep was extraordinarily solid, and she was reluctant to leave the embrace she had missed for a long time.Subconsciously resisting waking up, waking up means having to separate, even if she sleeps all the time, she would rather drown in such warmth!

But she woke up after all, as if being pushed down from the cliff, her heart seemed to be empty, she opened her eyes at once, saw the white ceiling, stretched out her hand, the people around her were no longer there, The remaining heat has not yet dissipated.

Wrapped in the quilt, she got up and habitually picked up the cup on the bedside table to take a sip of water, but before she could swallow it, she suddenly remembered that she and Ran Zhimo came here temporarily last night, how could there be any water here? cup?

Her heart seemed to be pinched by someone, she put down the cup, turned her head inadvertently, and saw the thing on the cabinet-Su Shi's calligraphy, on which was a note that read: Goodbye, fleeting time.

Strong and powerful words, just like his people, are her nightmares that she cannot escape.This is parting, he said "goodbye" to her, maybe never to see each other again, she suddenly remembered the pear he didn't share in the hospital yesterday afternoon, and the words he hesitated to say last night, feeling uneasy The feeling came again, and she wanted to do something to stop it from spreading, but she was powerless to stop it.Wrapping herself more tightly with the quilt, she hugged her legs, curled up with her whole body, and cried softly.

When leaving, Liu Nian took out Zhi Mo from her pocket and asked Yi Luoluo to hand over the watch and put it on the bedside table. She wrote under Zhi Mo's words: Zhi Mo, see you again.

There was a spare key on the shoe cabinet. Fleeting Nian went out of the house, wanting to take another look inside, but in the end he ruthlessly closed the door.

It seems that a curtain is slowly lowered, separating the front stage from the backstage.

In the end, he just left, as if he had never been here.

After taking a half-day off, when I returned home, I found a saw and laboriously sawed off the scroll. This time, she really guessed right that there was indeed something in the scroll. She put down the saw and carefully took out the scroll. Rolled papers, a dozen of papers, each of which is densely written with words, Liu Nian identified it, and found that it turned out to be an account book!
Sawing open another scroll, which was also full of papers, and flipping through them one by one, she saw many familiar names and large numbers, including Shao Qiren, and the number below was: 190 , 320, 187, 278, 579... The unit is ten thousand.

At this moment, she finally understood why both Zhimo and Shao Qiren cared so much about what their father left behind, and why Shao Qiren repeatedly asked her to hand over what she found to him, it turned out to be the case.

Liu Nian clearly knows that the things in her hands are enough to make half of the city's leadership team replace a batch. No one will take lightly the things that are at stake. She remembered what Zhi Mo said to her, "No matter what you find Don't hand it over, let alone make any deals with it", and the phrase "During this time...to protect yourself", she just felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless pit.

Why in the first place, my father would rather bear all the infamy on himself than hand over the account book?And why, Zhi Mo told her not to hand it over, instead of giving it to him?

Fleeting Nian felt her heart was about to jump out, too many questions needed an answer, she couldn't help holding the paper a little harder, hesitated again and again, and decided to put it away first, for some reason, she had a premonition that this Things will definitely come in handy soon.

Went to the newspaper office in the afternoon, Sister Chen's complexion was not very good, but Liu Nian had to add a spoonful of fuel to the fire, telling Sister Chen that she could not complete the task of interviewing Ran Zhimo.

Although this task is indeed difficult, Sister Chen's principle has always been to only look at the result regardless of the reason. Fleeting Nian's backlash this time cannot be justified. She knew she was wrong, so she lowered her head and honestly admitted her mistake.

When Sister Chen heard her words, she raised her head to look at her, showing disappointment, but said coldly, "Go out."

In the next few days, Sister Chen never looked for Liunian alone, and even if she had a task, she was brought to her by someone else. Compared to this, Liunian hoped that Sister Chen would scold her, at least the guilt in her heart would not increase day by day like it is now.

She is actually very afraid of others trusting her, because she is afraid of letting others down in the end, just like now, and then watching the trust disappear. In contrast, she would rather never have it.

I occasionally see Sister Chen when commuting to and from work. Her complexion is not very good. Colleagues comment that Sister Chen is more prone to anger recently than before. The editor's office is almost becoming synonymous with hell. care for those who survived.

Sometimes I can see Ran Zhimo on TV. Not long ago, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of this city was shuanggui for being suspected of participating in a money laundering case. It's hard to avoid being busy in the hospital.Whenever she saw that familiar face appear on the TV, Liu Nian's hand that was adjusting the channel involuntarily stopped. She kept watching the TV, and it took a long time before she suddenly came back to her senses, but nothing seemed to happen After that, I continued to tune the station.

She looked at him as if she was looking at someone from another world, but she was often immersed in that world and couldn't extricate herself.

About half a month later, on Monday morning, Liu Nian went to work at the newspaper office as usual, and when he glanced casually, he saw that Sister Chen came to work with a smile on her face!
Fleeting Nian's heart began to panic for no reason, and he couldn't settle down the whole day, his eyelids kept twitching, Fleeting Nian felt inexplicable fear.

This day was spent carefully, nothing special happened, near the end of get off work, Liu Nian was packing up his things and was about to go home, but Lao Bai suddenly ran all the way into the newspaper office, shouting: "I got it, I got it!"

He was panting heavily, and the people around couldn't help asking strangely: "What?"

"The latest situation of the suspected corruption case of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee!"

Fleeting's mind exploded with a "bang", and finally found the reason for the abnormality of the day, but she still pretended to be calm, and comforted herself in her heart: "It won't be him, isn't there another person in the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee?" ?What is it called Wu... Wu what?

Liu Nian was trying to remember that person's name, only to hear other people in the club ask: "Is that the one named Wu?"

Lao Bai waved his hand and said, "No, it's the dye ink!"

Three words, like thunder, Fleeting Nian stayed in place on the spot.

How...how could it be...how could Ranzhimo be associated with corruption?
It's not just fleeting years that I can't believe, there is a woman in the club who has admiration for this deputy secretary of the municipal party committee with excellent image and ability, and said in disbelief: "How is it possible?"

Lao Bai said indifferently: "How do you know it's impossible? How many times have you met him? You know people and faces but don't know your heart!"

The woman wanted to refute something, but she didn't say anything, but bit her lower lip unwillingly.

Indeed, knowing people, faces but not hearts, even if Liu Nian grew up with him, there will be seven years of blank time after all, who can say for sure if he has changed?

However, just from the determination in her heart that he would not do such a thing, even if everyone in the world doubted him, she would unswervingly believe in him.

Fleeting Nian's hands clenched involuntarily, and she kept replaying the night when she saw him for the last time in her mind. She remembered what he said, "During this time... remember to protect yourself", and she seemed to have found a deeper meaning. Explain, did he expect such a thing to happen?

Her mind was in a mess, she took out her mobile phone and dialed Ran Zhimo's phone number over and over again, but no one answered. I don't know if it was because he couldn't answer the phone or he didn't answer her call on purpose.

The worry in her heart made her restless, and the phone rang at this moment, she picked it up, and Yi Luoluo's anxious voice came: "Fleeting Years, something happened to Senior Ran! I heard from my cousin in the procuratorate that... I I heard it was because of the case he was in charge of, and I heard that someone deliberately wanted revenge on him!"

When the guess in her heart was confirmed, she knew that there must be something else hidden, but if he guessed the other party's intention, why didn't he take precautions in advance?Or is it that the opponent has too many people and is too powerful to guard against it at all?
Fleeting Nian couldn't help but fell into deep thought, who... who would have done this, and who escaped in the money laundering case?

Money laundering...corruption...a spark burst out in my mind. At this moment, Liu Nian suddenly remembered the name of the person recorded in the account book he found from the scroll. Could it be them?

They should be inevitably involved in it!
Thinking of this, Liu Nian said to Yi Luoluo on the other side of the phone: "Luoluo, can you ask your cousin, what he can think of to get revenge on Zhi... Is there anyone in the ink?"

"I'll give it a try, but Fleeting Years..." Before Yi Luoluo could finish speaking, Fleeing Nian had already accepted it: "I understand."

I'm afraid that most of the other parties are high-ranking officials. It's not easy for Yi Luoluo's cousin to tell her that someone wants to frame Ran Zhimo. How can he dare to talk nonsense without conclusive evidence for specific people?
"Well, Liu Nian, don't be too sad, I believe Senior Ran will be fine!" Yi Luoluo comforted Liu Nian.

"I know."

Fleeting Nian said to herself, don't be sad, because he has nothing to do with her anymore, if something like this happened to him, she should be full of joy like those revenge heroines on TV, lamenting that good and evil are rewarded, back then he used her , now it is his turn to taste the feeling of falling from a height.

Fleeting Nian calmed down all of a sudden, she said she didn't hate him, but it didn't mean she didn't mind at the beginning, what he should do, what he wanted, had nothing to do with her, let alone he had already guessed that there would be such a thing. There is always a way to deal with the situation, what is she anxious about here?
Thinking of this, Liu Nian walked out of the newspaper office and returned home as usual.
