Life in siheyuan era

Yu Li probably didn't have any particular thoughts, but Shen Lanbo had many more. Without analyzing the figure, he interrogated him, "You spent the night with Han Xue."

"Not the whole night. I went there close to two o'clock, and then I encountered that figure. Around three o'clock, she was asleep in bed. I sat on the chair thinking about things, and woke her up around five o'clock. In total, it was only two hours or so."

He explained, but Shen Lanbo said in a deep voice, "A lone man and a woman together in a darkened room, and she could sleep soundly?"

Shen Lanbo actually shifted his suspicion to Han Xue. Zhou Zhiyuan had to continue explaining, "I have four big words carved on my forehead: 'Harmless to humans and animals.'"

"I believe you, but I don't believe her."

Shen Lanbo's words made Zhou Zhiyuan curious. He asked in a low voice, "What can she do?"

"She can make Lanyin angry with you and drive a wedge between your relationship."

"I haven't hidden anything from you, but I can't tell Lanyin."

"Because this matter can't be hidden."

"Are you questioning my character? ... Let's not talk about this. Lanyin is here."

Shen Lanbo immediately changed the subject, "The target cannot be shifted. We still need to focus our investigation on the Anxin Hotel."

"This matter can't be said either."

Zhou Zhiyuan reminded him. Shen Lanbo changed the subject again, "What time is your brother planning to come see me?"

"Around six o'clock in the evening, probably."

"You and Lanyin wait here."

As Shen Lanbo said this, Shen Lanyin opened the door and walked in. She looked at Zhou Zhiyuan and heard him reply, "Of course we'll wait here."

But Shen Lanyin said faintly, "Do you two have to hide things from me even when you're talking?"

Shen Lanyin expressed her suspicion, and Zhou Zhiyuan hurriedly replied, "My brother is coming to see Lanbo tonight."

He wanted to use this matter to brush it off, but Shen Lanyin said in a low voice, "Your posture doesn't look like you were talking about that."

Shen Lanyin saw through the problem at a glance. Zhou Zhiyuan was sitting on a wooden stool, close to the bedside, while Shen Lanbo was leaning against the headboard, his body half-turned. This was the posture for two people talking in low voices.

They hadn't noticed this issue. After hearing Shen Lanyin's reminder, Zhou Zhiyuan got up and pushed the wooden stool under the bed, while Shen Lanbo immediately sat up straight.

Seeing their actions, Shen Lanyin asked in surprise, "Don't you need to put on an act in front of me, right?"

After asking this question, seeing Zhou Zhiyuan point to the door, Shen Lanyin immediately changed the subject, "You two should eat breakfast."

Shen Lanyin brought breakfast for the two of them and reached out to unscrew the lid of the thermos. At this moment, the door opened and Liu Junling came in, asking as soon as she opened her mouth, "Brother Shen, are you feeling better?"

"My body is still weak."

Hearing Shen Lanbo's reply, Liu Junling immediately said, "You can't just lie in bed all the time. You need to exercise appropriately."

Then, she turned to Zhou Zhiyuan and asked seriously, "The jeep was gone in the second half of the night. Did you go out?"

Hearing the question, Shen Lanyin turned to look at Zhou Zhiyuan.

He didn't speak, but Shen Lanbo said, "I let Zhiyuan go home. He's not used to sleeping in a bed. We slept on heated brick beds when we were in the highlands."

This ward only had two beds. Shen Lanbo was using one, and the other bed hadn't been assigned to a patient. But the jeep was gone in the second half of the night, which meant he wasn't staying in this ward.

Liu Junling, having discovered the problem, was about to question him, "If you can't stay here at night, how can you take care of Brother Shen?"

Zhou Zhiyuan hurriedly replied, "I will adapt as soon as possible."

But Shen Lanyin asked softly, "Junling, what's wrong with you?"

Her reaction made Liu Junling feel frustrated. She grabbed her arm, walked out of the ward, and said in a low voice in the corridor, "What's wrong with you? I'm trying to put pressure on Zhou Zhiyuan for you, and it's one thing that your brother is covering for him, but you're still changing the subject?"

Liu Junling felt that Shen Lanyin was being unreasonable, but Shen Lanyin couldn't reveal the details. She said softly, "Zhiyuan is pure in heart and doesn't have bad intentions."

Hearing this, Liu Junling became even more angry and said in a low voice, "I've told you, when he was hospitalized in the highland military hospital, several doctors and nurses showed him affection. Now that he's transferred to a local job, he'll be exposed to even more young women. It's hard to guarantee he won't go bad. You need to keep a close eye on him."

She reminded Shen Lanyin, but Shen Lanyin replied softly, "Zhiyuan is a devoted person."

She defended Zhou Zhiyuan, and Liu Junling said angrily, "You'll regret it sooner or later if you protect him like this."

After saying these words, Liu Junling walked away in a huff. Shen Lanyin pondered for a moment and went to ask her colleagues about the situation.

Only then did she hear that Liu Junling's boyfriend had made a mistake regarding his lifestyle, and was not only demoted but also facing imminent discharge from the military.

The colleague recounted the situation, and then said in confusion, "What was this person thinking? Knowing that lifestyle issues can ruin a person, he still flew into the fire like a moth. Is his self-control really that poor?"

The colleague was puzzled, and Shen Lanyin didn't know how to explain. After the colleague left, Shen Lanyin seriously considered the matter and decided to strictly control Zhou Zhiyuan. He didn't have bad intentions, but he couldn't resist some women who did.

But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it wasn't the right time. Zhou Zhiyuan was carrying out a secret mission, and there were some things she couldn't be told.

As Shen Jue's daughter, she knew the rules, so she decided to implement a daily reporting system for Zhou Zhiyuan after he completed his mission. She had to keep him away from bad women.

Having made up her mind, she wanted to carry out the most important thing at the moment. Liu Junling and her boyfriend had broken up, and she didn't even know. This was irresponsible of her as a best friend. She had to comfort her and treat her to lunch at noon.

Shen Lanyin went to find Liu Junling, and didn't notice Zhou Zhiyuan leaving the hospital building. The jeep disappeared again, turned a corner on Yongan Street, and then drove into several alleys. After confirming that no one was following, it stopped by the side of this small road.

After a while, a bicycle stopped beside the car. Zhang Quanyi looked into the car and, seeing him waving, got off his bicycle and climbed into the jeep. He immediately took out two sheets of letter paper from his bag and handed them over, saying in a low voice, "Second Brother, these are the transcriptions from the past two days."

Zhou Zhiyuan took the letter paper and looked at it carefully. Seeing that every character on the paper was written neatly with each stroke, he nodded lightly and said cheerfully, "Put the bicycle in the back seat."

But Zhou Zhiyuan's hands were like cotton, allowing each of his palms to strike cotton, and he would occasionally remind him, "Inhale, don't exhale yet."

He was Zhang Quanyi's punching bag for more than ten minutes. When Zhang Quanyi couldn't hit anymore, Zhou Zhiyuan told him, "Stand still, close your eyes, and recall every strike just now."

So Zhang Quanyi stood there carefully thinking, while Zhou Zhiyuan also slightly closed his eyes and carefully recalled the scene just now.

He didn't need to think for too long. A few scenes passed by in only two or three minutes. Then, he opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Xueyi, seeing that his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, so he said faintly, "Qi like cotton threads, palms like wind and rain, wind like a knife, rain like a shield, knife and shield combined, offense and defense are freely available."

This voice was like a spring breeze blowing into Zhang Quanyi's ears. After a minute, Zhang Quanyi opened his eyes and shouted excitedly, "I understand! Knife and shield combined, the shield can also attack!"

He had an aggressive personality, and he believed that persisting in attacking was the best defense.

But Zhou Zhiyuan wouldn't refute him. He said faintly, "Next time, I will attack you."

These words made Zhang Quanyi excited, and he hurriedly asked, "When?"

Zhou Zhiyuan answered irrelevantly, "Have you seen movies?"

After receiving a positive reply, Zhou Zhiyuan continued, "If you can keep the scene just now as a movie clip in your mind, even just one or two clips, then we'll have a second round."

This request didn't seem difficult to Zhang Quanyi, and he immediately agreed. Then, he heard Zhou Zhiyuan ask, "Are there any people you know in the two courtyards next to the Anxin Hotel?"

Zhang Quanyi replied readily, "Tietou lives in that courtyard. There are five guys in their courtyard, and there are about ten more outside who are all in the same group, about the same age as me. We don't like each other. We've fought a few times before, but they're no match for us."

Hearing his answer, Zhou Zhiyuan felt that his luck was really good. He chuckled and said in a low voice, "Have another fight with them tonight, preferably around seven o'clock. The location should be on Yongan Street, and it should be a big commotion. You guys should have someone injured by them, and then all get arrested and taken to the police station together."

Hearing his arrangement, Zhang Quanyi said readily, "No problem."

He didn't ask why. The battle just now had satisfied him, and he longed for the next attack.

But Zhou Zhiyuan still had instructions: "Don't be too ruthless when you strike. You can injure them, but don't injure them too badly. At the same time, study hard and strive to get into police academy as soon as possible."

Hearing him say that he wanted to send him to police academy, Zhang Quanyi's eyes widened instantly. He couldn't resist this temptation.
