Life in siheyuan era

The middle-aged woman walked into the room again, asked the two young soldiers to leave, sat on the edge of the bed, and said in a low voice, "You are not important in Shen Lanyin's eyes. Why make such a big sacrifice for her?"

"As a military investigator, you have a lot of room for improvement. The leaders above appreciate you, and a quick promotion is just around the corner."

"And what is the result of your insistence? You are destined to lose both money and love. Think about it carefully."

She spoke sincerely, and the content was relatively pertinent, but Zhou Zhiyuan replied in a deep voice: "Thank you for the leader's concern, but my character does not allow me to be a traitor. I would rather others betray me than I betray others."

Having said that, the middle-aged woman had nothing more to say. She pondered for a while, sighed, got up and walked out. This time, the two young soldiers did not come in again. With a burst of footsteps, the middle-aged woman led the team away.

Zhou Zhiyuan raised his wrist to look at his watch. He went upstairs at five minutes past eleven, and now it was already twenty minutes past one. He had been trapped here for more than two hours.

After confirming the time, Zhou Zhiyuan got up and walked out. Seeing that there was no one in the corridor, he walked along the corridor to the door of the doctor's office. Through the glass door, he saw Shen Lanyin sitting alone in the room, her delicate oval face filled with coldness.

Looking at this face, Zhou Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door open, poked his head in, and asked in a low voice, "Hungry?"

Hearing this voice, Shen Lanyin suddenly turned her face and saw him. The coldness on her oval face instantly melted, and she stood up abruptly, asking anxiously, "Are you okay?"

Zhou Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It seems like I'm still okay. They have temporarily retreated. We can take this opportunity to replenish our supplies and prepare for the next big battle."

Hearing "the next big battle," Shen Lanyin immediately replied, "I've said everything I need to say. Are they still coming?"

Seeing her nervousness, Zhou Zhiyuan smiled and replied, "It's just being prepared for a rainy day. Whether they come or not is their business. It's definitely right for us to build high walls and store up grain."

This theory was affirmed by Shen Lanyin, who replied softly, "I'm hungry."

"Let's go, I'll treat you."

Then he turned his face and saw figures walking out, turned around and said loudly, "Sorry to bother you all. I'm really sorry." Then he bowed deeply to the figures on this side, and then turned to bow deeply to the figures on the other side.

Then he walked towards the stairs. Shen Lanyin followed behind him with her head down. At this time, a heroic voice came from the crowd, "Hold hands and walk side by side."

Then people shouted together, and after shouting twice, they became orderly, "Hold hands and walk side by side..."

Zhou Zhiyuan stopped and looked back, a happy smile on his face. When Shen Lanyin came up, he reached out to take her hand.

Seeing him reach out, Shen Lanyin's hand flinched slightly and then stopped, allowing Zhou Zhiyuan to hold her left hand.

The two walked forward side by side, followed by a burst of warm applause, accompanied by shouts of "Good!"

Walking down to the fifth floor, they saw a group of people standing on the fourth floor. They didn't know what had happened upstairs, but seeing the two walking down hand in hand, followed by applause and shouts of "Good!", they immediately followed suit, clapping and shouting "Good!".

Then there was the third floor, the second floor, and the lobby on the first floor, until the two walked out hand in hand side by side, and came to the jeep. The two let go and got into the car separately. There were still many people watching in the lobby on the first floor, watching the jeep drive out of the gate before dispersing.

Zhou Zhiyuan drove the jeep, turned a corner, stopped by the side of the road, turned his face to look at Shen Lanyin, who was hanging her head, and said in a low voice, "Suddenly, I thought you should immediately go home and explain the situation to your parents and Lanbo in detail."

"Today's situation is favorable to us. No matter how arrogant and domineering that madam is, she must pay attention to the impact. Uncle Shen will immediately think of a way to make full use of this favorable situation and completely dispel that madam's idea."

Zhou Zhiyuan was very calm. His analysis made Shen Lanyin suddenly think of this opportunity, and she raised her head to look at him.

Seeing the blush on her face, Zhou Zhiyuan immediately explained: "Holding hands is nothing. It's just like male and female comrades shaking hands. As long as this matter is resolved as soon as possible, you can explain it to Hao Zhiwen afterwards, and he will understand. But you must not say it at this time, or I will be betrayed by him again, and I will be dead."

After giving instructions, Zhou Zhiyuan released the clutch and stepped on the gas pedal, and the jeep drove towards the military compound.

Shen Lanyin's face turned cold, and she said coldly, "I told that female comrade very clearly..."

She wanted to explain, but Zhou Zhiyuan interrupted her, "There's no time. You can tell your parents and Lanbo about your situation. I'll briefly introduce my situation now, focusing on the beginning..."

He briefly introduced what happened on his side, and greeted the soldiers on duty in front of the military compound. The jeep drove into the compound, and Zhou Zhiyuan continued, "That's the whole story. You don't have to say what Hao Zhiwen said, but you must explain the details clearly."

As he spoke, the jeep stopped in front of the two-story building. Zhou Zhiyuan said softly, "You can get out of the car. Remember my words. Of course, you can also do it according to your own ideas."

He let Shen Lanyin get out of the car, while he sat still.

Shen Lanyin asked coldly, "Aren't you going inside?"

Zhou Zhiyuan replied in a low voice, "Your family is holding a family meeting. If I'm not there, you can speak freely. Once you decide what to do next, Lanbo will notify me, and I will fully cooperate."

He positioned himself in the supporting role. This was a play.

Shen Lanyin looked at him and heard him urge, "This matter cannot be delayed. I will call you around two o'clock."

Hearing his urging, Shen Lanyin opened the car door and got out of the car. She turned to look at him and saw him raise his left hand and give a thumbs up, then turned the car around and drove towards the gate.

Watching the jeep drive away, Shen Lanyin's face became even colder. She turned and walked to the door and rang the doorbell.

When Shen Lanyin walked into the house, Zhou Zhiyuan drove out of the military compound and went straight to the Public Security Bureau, constantly observing the vehicles behind him through the rearview mirror.

At this time, regardless of whether Zhang Limin had returned or not, he had to head in that direction, just like a beaten child, finding his parents and teachers at the first time. This was a matter of attitude.

At this time, Chen Shuying, Shen Lanbo, and Fang Nan were listening to Shen Lanyin's narration, while Shen Jue was not at home.

After listening to her, Shen Lanbo breathed a sigh of relief and said briskly, "This investigation should have been decided by that madam without authorization. Zhiyuan has made this matter big, and that madam will also have to consider it, and she won't dare to be so blatant in the future."

"The only worry is that she will complain to that big leader. Call my dad first and let him be prepared."

Shen Lanbo picked up the phone on the coffee table and dialed a number, narrating the situation to Shen Jue. Shen Jue smiled and said, "Dad knows. Zhiyuan has created a very good opportunity for Dad, and Dad will take the initiative to make a self-criticism to that leader."

"And the simplest way is for him to find someone else, let Lanyin's colleagues see it, and maybe even let Hao Zhiwen see it, and then they will break up smoothly."

Speaking of this, Shen Lanbo looked at Shen Lanyin, and then at Chen Shuying and Fang Nan, seeing that they were also looking at him, he continued, "Lanyin, I want you and Zhiyuan to be together, but this is not something I can decide, and I don't want to fall out with Zhiyuan because of this."

"Next week, you and Zhiyuan will continue to interact normally as before, and make a decision after observing the changes in the situation. During this period, you are strictly forbidden to interact with Hao Zhiwen, otherwise the consequences will be very serious, and no one will be able to save you at that time."

"After the situation subsides, I will no longer care, but I solemnly tell you that if you choose Hao Zhiwen, from now on, my brother and sister will no longer interact, and I will never care about whether you live or die in the future."

Shen Lanbo's words were very heavy. After speaking, he got up and left.

Fang Nan looked at Chen Shuying, then at Shen Lanyin, and hurriedly got up and followed Shen Lanbo upstairs.

Shen Lanyin turned to look at Shen Lanbo's back, then turned back and called out aggrievedly, "Mom."

Chen Shuying sighed and said, "Mom doesn't know why your brother dislikes Hao Zhiwen so much? You also know your brother's temper. Why did you have to find him after breaking up with Zhou Zhiyuan?"

Shen Lanbo's impression of Hao Zhiwen was extremely poor. Not only Shen Lanyin was puzzled, but Chen Shuying and Fang Nan were also puzzled, guessing that it was Zhou Zhiyuan who influenced him.

But Shen Lanbo was not a person without his own opinions. Even if Zhou Zhiyuan had a great influence on him, it would not affect him to this extent.

Fang Nan was puzzled, followed Shen Lanbo into the room, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have to speak so harshly to Lanyin?"

She wanted to know the reason, but Shen Lanbo didn't speak, walked to the table and sat down, pondered for a while before slowly saying, "Some things can only be understood by people who have died once."

These words made Fang Nan even more confused, but Shen Lanbo didn't want to say any more, changed the subject and said lightly, "You tell Lanyin that I won't force her on the matter between her and Zhiyuan, and I won't force Zhiyuan either, but she must not be with Hao Zhiwen. The rest is up to her to decide."

Shen Lanbo spoke with some discouragement. After saying these words, he got up and walked to the bed and lay down, but at this time, Chen Shuying's shout came from downstairs, "Lanbo, phone."
