It's a pity I still love you

Chapter 8
At that time, Fleeting Years was still young, and I always felt that it was just a few strokes of smearing, and there was nothing different. However, after tossing back and forth for a long time, I couldn't do it anyway. Later, I stopped ink and accompanied her every time she practiced calligraphy. I practiced with her, and Zhimo's handwriting became better and better, but she didn't improve at all, but she had a good attitude, didn't feel inferior at all, and happily polished his ink for him. When grandpa found out, he was so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry, and in the end he had to let her go.Occasionally, Zhimo would force her to practice calligraphy. She remembered that many times her calligraphy homework was completed with his assistance. The so-called assistance meant that he held her hand to complete the work.

It is impossible for her handwriting to be similar to Su Shi's. That picture of Su Shi's handwriting completes his handwriting, and also fulfills her thoughts that often haunt him. Now, she doesn't feel sorry for the value of the words, but only for the words. Fake memories.He would not fail to understand the special meaning of this word to her, but, should he still leave?

There was a few seconds of silence, and the eyes of the two intertwined, the meaning of which was understood only by each other.The first thing that broke the quiet atmosphere was Xiao Liu who didn't know what was going on. He looked at Fleeting Years inquiringly, and asked cautiously: "Miss reporter, do you know where I can find Su Shi's authentic works?"

Fleeting Nian retracted his gaze, smiled coldly and said, "The Forbidden City."

There is no point in staying any longer, Liu Nian packed up his things, and said lightly: "Since Deputy Secretary Ran still has something to do here, I won't bother you any more, goodbye."

She left, but he didn't stay, but just looked at her back thoughtfully.After a while, when Fleeting Nian's figure disappeared, Xiao Liu asked aloud: "Secretary, what should we do now?"

Ran Zhimo came back to his senses, picked up the previous document, and said in a cold voice: "You go out first, I will deal with it."

Shen Chenji, director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate, arrived 10 minutes later. After reporting the progress of the investigation to Ran Zhimo in detail, Shen Chenji said hesitantly: "The main persons involved in this case should have participated in the investigation nine years ago." In the case of former mayor Su Mingyi, the procuratorate did not prosecute them due to insufficient evidence, but if I guessed correctly, Su Mingyi should have a ledger that records the amount of money involved by everyone, but he is dead now , even if the account book has not been destroyed, it will be difficult to find it..." After a pause, Shen Chenji asked again: "By the way, I heard that he has a daughter, and I don't know if it will be with her..."

Ran Zhimo's frown became tighter and tighter, Fleeting Years... Does she know that this account book is one thing, and even if she knew, how could she hand over something that her father didn't hand over until his death?And... this account book is very likely to bring her life danger, how could Su Mingyi give such a dangerous thing to Liu Nian?

More importantly, how could those people be willing to let people keep such dangerous things?In this way, fleeting time she...

His heart tightened, and Ran Zhimo said in a deep voice: "This matter is very troublesome. If the account book is still there, you must get it before those people. Find a chance...I will ask her, I hope..." He laughed at himself, and only hoped that the girl who knew everything about him before would still tell him.

Zhi Mo's words were vague, and Shen Chenji didn't understand very well, but just looking at Ran Zhimo's expression, he guessed that this might be something that couldn't be asked in detail, so he didn't say much.

After a moment of silence, Ran Zhimo said solemnly: "Anyway, do everything you can. If this case drags on, it will have a greater impact on the credibility of the government. The higher authorities will never allow it. Evidence, I'm afraid that this time, those people will get away with it again."

"I see."

Nodding his head, Ran Zhimo asked again: "By the way, last time we met you said that you bought a piece of calligraphy from your friend, where is that piece of calligraphy now?"

"In my family, it's the name of an unknown poet, what's the matter?" Shen Chenji didn't understand why he suddenly brought up this matter.

Tapping the table twice with his fingers, Ran Zhimo raised the corner of his mouth, a cold light flashed in his eyes and said: "Give it to me, I need it urgently."

Coming out of the municipal building, Fleeting Nian was walking on the way back to the agency. The sun was too bright, and she would be dazzled if she didn't pay attention. She half-closed her eyes and walked through the street with few people, all she could think about was just now matter.

The important gift that was prepared was taken away, and the mayor is coming soon. If no suitable replacement can be found, what should Ran Zhimo do?
In my impression, he is always calm and unhurried. It seems that every time he encounters any trouble, he can easily solve it as long as he takes action. She used to trust him, rely on him, and hide behind him to see the world. She never There was nothing to worry about, but now, when she was standing as a bystander, she saw the situation he was facing and couldn't help worrying about him.

All the harsh words were just deceitful, she pretended not to give them, and pretended that everything had nothing to do with her, but they were all false, the value of those words, and the special meaning of those words to her, could not be worth his embarrassment look.She kept telling herself in her heart that even if he was in trouble, it had nothing to do with her, but the steps under her feet were still getting slower and smaller, until she stopped completely.She repeated that sentence to herself, but in the end, all that was on her mind was: What if he was really in trouble?Just this one time, she did it for him just once, just as repaying his love for her before, after that he really has nothing to do with her.

Reaching out to stop a taxi, Liu Nian hurried home to find out the precious words, and hurried back to the municipal building, hoping that there was still time.After entering the building, she rushed straight to his office, but she was a step too late. She kept knocking on the door, but no one opened it for her. He had already left.

Already have a surefire plan?still…

"Huh? Aren't you the reporter just now? Why are you still here?"

Liu Nian turned her head when she heard the sound, and saw Xiao Liu looking at her strangely. As if she saw a savior, she quickly asked, "Where is Ran... the deputy secretary?"

"The secretary is still in the office, what can you do?"

Still in the office?Liu Nian was taken aback, "But I knocked on the door and no one opened it." As she spoke, she tried a couple more times, but as she said, no one opened the door.

Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The door you knocked on is Deputy Secretary Wu's office, and Deputy Secretary Ran's office is next to it."

Fleeting Nian took a closer look, and sure enough, he was too anxious just now, and accidentally found the wrong place.She thanked her and was about to knock on the door of Ran Zhimo's room. At this moment, she heard footsteps behind her, followed by Xiao Liu's voice: "Deputy Secretary Wu."

Fleeting Years turned her head and saw that the person who came was a man in his 40s, who was slightly fatter. His eyes glanced at her inadvertently, but his eyes stayed on the scroll in her hand for a few seconds. When Xiao Liu was interrupted before he finished speaking in the office, his heart tightened.

"This is..." Wu Baoguo looked at Fleeting Years and asked.

Xiao Liu replied: "She is a reporter from a newspaper."

"Oh, that's it." His eyes were still on the things in her hands, making Liu Nian very uncomfortable, and just as he didn't know what to say, there was a small sound of the doorknob turning, and then someone walked up to her, He asked out loud, "What's wrong?"

It was still Xiao Liu who answered: "Secretary, this lady is looking for you."

Ran Zhimo quickly looked down at the scroll in Liunian's hand, and then at Wu Baoguo who was standing aside, and said to Liunian, "Let's go in and talk."

In fact, there is nothing to say, followed Ran Zhimo into the office, Liu Nian directly handed over the words to him, and then turned around to leave.He took her arm from behind and said in a low voice, "Don't you have anything to say?"

She turned her head to look at him, but she had a look of surprise on her face: "Should I say something?" She pretended to be thinking, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, you're welcome."

He ignored her disguise, and asked bluntly, "Are you willing to send it out like this?"

She snorted coldly and forced herself to look disgusted, "I wish it would disappear quickly, every time I see it, I will think of my stupid past."

After finishing speaking, her heart was already tingling. She felt that the hand holding her arm was a little bit harder, and she thought it was uncomfortable for that person.She is like a hedgehog, wishing to stab each other bloody in every sentence, as if this is the only way to prove that they are still in love.

"But I can't bear it..." With a long sigh, his voice rang in her ears, and his warm breath made her itchy, making her want to escape even more, but he He forcibly took her into his arms.

"Fleeing Years, you can discard those pasts cruelly, but I am reluctant, I will always remember everything in the past..."

In a word, it touched the deepest wound in Liu Nian's heart, tears fell from her eyes, and she broke away from him fiercely.

There were a lot of questioning things to say, but after a few seconds of excitement, her breathing returned to steady, and she reached out to wipe the tears off her face. She looked up at him, and said seemingly casually: "I was young and ignorant at that time. , did a lot of stupid things, if you can forget the secretary, forget them." After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the office quickly, as if she had no regrets, as if she would not be sad, no one loves no one The fake lady hides all her expressions in her heart, and only she can see them.

When she went out, Wu Baoguo was still standing outside talking to others. When she walked past them, she vaguely felt that Wu Baoguo seemed to be looking at her. Clenched right hand.

When she got out of the elevator, she faintly heard someone calling her name. She slowed down and looked around, but she didn't see anyone she knew. Thinking that she might have heard it wrong, she turned her head I saw a man with gray hair stopped in front of her, the man looked at her with a smile and said, "Fleeting Years, don't you recognize me?"

Fleeting Nian carefully identified it, and couldn't help being pleasantly surprised: "Uncle Shao!" It was her father Su Mingyi's former friend, and she asked with concern: "How have you been these few years?"

"I should be the one who asked you this. It's not easy for you as a little girl to break out outside?"

She smiled and wrote lightly: "Actually, it's okay. I'm lucky. I haven't suffered much."

"When you need help, remember to come to your Uncle Shao."

When Liu Nian heard this, he was very moved. He had heard that people would leave tea, let alone someone who was convicted and died like her father. Unexpectedly, Shao Qiren still cared about her as before.

"Thank you."

Shao Qiren sighed: "Your father is gone, we elders can take care of you as much as we can. Back then, your father treated us... By the way, Fleeting Years, did your father leave anything behind when he left? "

"Things?" Liu Nian didn't understand why Shao Qiren would mention this suddenly, but he still answered him truthfully, "No, father didn't have time to leave anything at that time, Uncle Shao, what's wrong?"

Shao Qiren frowned when he heard the news, but when he heard Liu Nian asking him what was wrong, he frowned, and said kindly: "It's nothing, I just thought that what happened back then was a bit strange, I thought your father would leave some clues, I didn't expect... If you don't have one, forget it, but, Fleeting Years, if you find something, you must tell me as soon as possible!"

"Okay." Liu Nian nodded in agreement, but for some reason, he felt that this matter was not that simple.

After returning to the newspaper office and finishing the manuscript, Liu Nian handed it over to the editor-in-chief, Sister Chen, and said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, I only asked so much."

Sister Chen didn't seem to care much, and comforted her: "It's okay, I guessed the result a long time ago, how can it be so easy to pry the news from the deputy secretary of Ran? You have done a good job."

Fleeting Nian felt even more guilty. If it wasn't for her, other reporters might be able to ask more questions, but she wasted time because of some other things.

"Sister Chen, next time..." Before Fleeting Nian finished speaking, she was interrupted by Sister Chen: "You should go next time, you little girl, you have been tormenting him, I don't believe that he still doesn't say anything. "

The fleeting time was stunned, grinding him all the time?I'm afraid she was the first to collapse!

But before the words of objection could be uttered, Sister Chen asked first: "Is there any problem? If there is any special reason why you don't want to go, just tell me and let me think about it."

A "special reason" silenced Liu Nian, she pursed her lower lip, and finally shook her head and said, "No."

"That's good." After speaking, Chen Lan ordered again: "By the way, Lao Bai, who was in charge of interviewing the general manager of the Qi Corporation, just asked for leave from me, so you can do it for him."

"Oh, good." She thought that as long as she was not allowed to go to Ran Zhimo, it would be fine to interview anyone.
