Returns

Two years later.

"Mr. Xie, you need to take these medicines on time, and the injections we'll provide to the Meiyu private hospital must be given once every two months." Inside the New York Sanatorium, the brown-haired, blue-eyed doctor wearing a mask, explained this to Xie Qingcheng.

"Although your condition has improved a bit now, but if you don't take care of yourself carefully, the results of your current treatment could easily be ruined. The suggestion from our side is that when you're done with those things, you'll have to come back to us to continue your hospitalization ...... You mustn't give up hope, we've been working on a special drug that can eradicate rn-13 complications, and the likelihood of you surviving one more year until you get the drug will greatly increase... ..."

"Thanks, I know." Xie Qingcheng interrupted the doctor.

After two years of contact, he knew that the doctor was a chatterbox, and if he kept talking like that, it would be endless.

Xie Qingcheng, wrapped in a plain black tweed trench coat and pulling a suitcase, sidles into a cab bound for the airport.

He's ready to go back home.

Continuous and precise treatment did keep some of his organs functioning, and although he was still in very poor health, as long as he took his medication properly, he wouldn't die of organ failure for a few years. However, his eyesight is still failing, and he now has to wear glasses, otherwise everything he sees is a blur.

The attending physician is a somewhat materialistic person, when not talking about science, he would tell Xie Qingcheng that the eyes are the windows to the soul, do you know why your eyes have not been cured, and are even getting worse? It must be because your heart is blocked, and deep down you don't want to see what's going on, so your eyes have given up trying to help themselves.

Xie Qingcheng, a materialist through and through, only gave him a cold look at his words, which looked a bit like a blank stare.

The doctor at the New York sanatorium had also suggested that he should have an operation, saying that a scientist in the research institute they worked with had invented a prosthetic eye, which was so beautifully made that after implantation it could even achieve the same effect as the patient's original eye, and could be completely messed up.

Xie Qingcheng also refused.

He wasn't much in the mood to worry about his eyes right now, and he didn't know how many years he'd end up living anyway.

This time back to China, he has a very important task to do - after the outbreak of the sea war, Duan Wen, the gang known as the "Mandela organization", including the rn-13 matter, will be the military police to directly detect and investigate. In the past two years, Xie Qingcheng has cooperated with their investigations a few times, other than that, how the case, in their view, have nothing to do with him.

However, a while ago, Dean Mayu and Team Zheng, who was responsible for contacting him, suddenly called him and said that there was a very serious medical case in the country. Some unscrupulous people were selling generic drugs to leukemia patients through private channels. This kind of medicine is very expensive if purchased through regular channels, and many families had to buy the so-called "alternatives", and as a result, some people took advantage of this loophole and sold a large number of experimental drugs.

The composition of this drug is very similar to the hearing water derived from RN-13, which is now officially named "Obedience No. 2". Those who have taken Obedience No. 2 can be mentally manipulated at any time, but Obedience No. 2 is supposed to be only a test subject, and soon after the victim is manipulated, he or she quickly becomes insane, loses his or her mind, and refuses to listen to anyone, so he or she can only be locked up in a mental hospital.

Upon discovering the situation, the police promptly cut off the supply chain of Obedience 2 and dismantled seven suspected criminal gangs, arresting hundreds of suspects involved.

It is a pity that all these people are just smugglers who ship out from the Golden Triangle, and their connection with the middle layer is completely cut off. Although the police know that this must be Duan Wen's large-scale release of test drugs, they suffer from a lack of any evidence.

The effects of the drug Obedience 2 have caused great trouble to the police, because some people are afraid to admit that they have taken this drug, and hold the mentality of taking a gamble and trying to hide things from the past, and the result is that once they have an attack, they are not able to control it at all - in this past month or so, there have been six cases of vicious injuries in the society after Obedience 2 takers had an attack, and the public opinion can no longer be suppressed, and it is imperative that effective treatment medicines be researched as soon as possible for those who have gotten sick.

Xie Qingcheng has the highest level of familiarity with rn-13.

So they desperately need him back now.

The patient and the country needed him, so he was obliged to do his duty. When the plane landed at Huzhou International Airport, Xie Qingcheng saw Wei Dongheng's family and Auntie Lai when he was dragging his suitcase out of the customs.

Auntie Lai has aged a little, but her vitality is still very good. She now often helps Xie Xue with the children, and is almost half a grandmother to the children. As soon as she saw Xie Qingcheng, tears came to her eyes and she cried and laughed. Xie Qingcheng just wanted to comfort her, but then suddenly there was a flash of light in front of her eyes ---

"Brother!"

It turned out to be Xie Xue who darted forward, as fast as a bolt of lightning, obviously the mother of a two year old, but she still hugged him as tightly as she did when she was a girl.

Although Xie Xue had flown to the US to visit him last year, she hadn't stayed too long - after all, she already had a family and a newborn child to take care of for her mom. So she was still excited to have Xie Qingcheng back this time.

"Brother, tired? Quickly go home with us, everything is ready at home, I let Xiao Wei install a particularly comfortable Jacuzzi for you, let's go back right away, you have a good soak, rest and relax first ...... " she chattered, while Wei Dongheng came over, holding the two year old Wei Mengjia in his arms.

"Brother." Wei Dongheng greeted Xie Qingcheng with a smile, and lifted his daughter's hand so that she could wave to Xie Qingcheng, "Come, Yaya, call uncle."

Wei Mengjia hadn't been forced to video with her uncle who was far away in the United States under her parents' lewdness for the past two years, although she didn't even understand what a video call was yet.

When she saw Xie Qingcheng, her black bean like eyes opened wide, then her saliva flowed out first, and she suddenly giggled, "Uncle ...... seized!"

Xie Qingcheng : "......"

Xie Xue could tell his brother's DNA moved from amongst his subtle expressions.

The best person to coax Xie Qingcheng to live well was no longer her, but Yaya. Xie Qingcheng, the daddy's boy, saw the small child who attempted to jump into his arms, and although his face didn't have any expression on it, his heart was very fond of it. He was used to taking care of people and bringing up children, not to mention that Yaya looked a lot like Xie Xue when she was a child, and when he looked at her, he had the illusion of hugging his sister back then and expecting her to grow up.

Seeing this, Xie Xue took advantage of the situation and slammed Yaya into Xie Qingcheng's arms.

Xie Qingcheng Caught off guard, but still immediately reflexively embraced the child, hugging posture more standard than the child's own mother: "What ......"

"Uncle!" Before Xie Qingcheng had time to glare at Xie Xue, Yaya was so happy that she lifted up her small pink hands like lotus roots and wrapped them around Xie Qingcheng's neck. The soft and warm little one was so delicate in his arms that it seemed as if a little bit of force would melt her away. Xie Qingcheng's sharp eyebrows naturally softened.

Xie Qingcheng bowed his head and answered, "Uh-huh."

A child can sense whether a person has a reassuring scent or not, Yaya only leaned into Xie Qingcheng's embrace, and was overjoyed, she swayed and moved her hands in his embrace, and suddenly raised her mouth and gave Xie Qingcheng a kiss on his cool cheek.

"seize ......"

Xie Qingcheng : "......"

Xie Xue looked at him expectantly.

Xie Qingcheng sighed and loosened his black trench coat, inside was a simple white shirt, he gathered the child into his jacket, by the little one against his chest, "It's so cold, just give her that little to wear, how can you be a mom? And you."

He glanced at Wei Dongheng, "Hold the child's neck when you hold him, do you know?"

Yaya can not understand, but she can feel the parents embarrassed breath, she thinks it is very funny, in Xie Qingcheng's arms laughing gibberish, and kept yelling uncle pulling hugs, want uncle pulling hugs.

Next to her, Auntie Lai laughed, "I instantly thought of Xiao Xue when you used to take Xiao Xue."

Xie Qingcheng coughed lightly, and then said, "What year is the matter, you do not mention it. ...... Go home."

For the next few days, the officials left Xie Qingcheng to rest a bit and didn't bother him. But Xie Qingcheng didn't rest too comfortably, and Yaya was the problem.

Although he is a father and cold, between the eyes of all the natural sharp frost, but the child is very like him, can not wait for 24 hours to be held in his arms, pounced on his arms for a long time refused to come down, a down on the cry, with uncle and even do not even need to mother, not to mention the real father Wei Dongheng.

Wei Dongheng was puzzled: "Where am I inferior to your brother? Why does the child want him and not me?"

Xie Xue is also very confused: "You ask me who I ask, she also do not want me, I see my brother in the morning to hold her too tired, want to take her over, said mom to hold, the result is that she cried, a hard to my brother's arms to rely on, said to want uncle, do not want mom."

"...... Your brother also did not have milk for her to drink ah, your brother iron blood pure man, there is not much maternal glory ah, what happened?"

Auntie Lai smiled as she knitted a sweater, "This is probably the sense of security that human cubs instinctively feel. He, indeed, is much more reliable than you two."

Xie Xue : "......"

Wei Dongheng: "......"

Auntie Lai finished and sighed again, she looked at Xie Qingcheng holding the baby by the window in the distance, Yaya was sleeping soundly in his arms, Xie Qingcheng seemed to be very tired, but still didn't put her down, he sat in the Windsor chair in the sunroom, holding the little one and closing his eyes for a while, at the same time letting Yaya, who was snuggled up against him, soak up the sun, he looked strong and soft, cold and calm, all those words that would have died in a family can be found in this man. He looked strong and soft, cold and calm, and all those words that would never have made it into a house could be found in one place in the man holding Baby.

Aunt Li's eyes dimmed, "It's a pity that he doesn't have any children of his own, or he probably wouldn't be depressed like this ......"

Xie Qingcheng was serene in the sunlight, and with Yaya, he finally showed a calmness and gentleness he hadn't seen in the past three years.

.

A week after Xie Qingcheng's return to Shanghai, Chen Man finally finished his task and came to meet him.

He had grown a lot in his two years of training in Guangcheng, and now he had been transferred back to Huzhou and joined the same criminal investigation team that his elder brother used to be in. Like Zheng Jingfeng, he is now a CID officer involved in the Duan Wen case. The task force that dealt with the Duan Wen case was too large to be named "a task force".

They adopted the codename of the mission that defeated Lv Zhishu, "Dreambreakers".

Duan Wen's organization is named "Mandela", which stands for "Fantasy", "Nothingness", "Fervent Belief "The positive side of the organization is the sword that breaks down this fantasy, which is very appropriate.

Chen Man is, naturally, the backbone of Dreambreakers.

Having not seen each other for such a long time, Xie Qingcheng was slightly stunned when she saw him in person at the agreed café - Chen Man had tanned up a bit, there was an additional scar on his face that wasn't too noticeable, and the police rank on his shoulder had changed, but it was the young man's demeanor that had changed the most.

Once upon a time, Chen Man always looked like a student, although he was a police officer, he still could not get rid of the youthfulness between his eyebrows, but now he is very manly, and there is even a sharp light in his eyes.

Only when his gaze met Xie Qingcheng's face, those eyes became soft again.

"Hsieh." Chen Man says, "Long time no see."

Xie Qingcheng: "Sit down."

Chen Man sat down across from him.

According to the medical advice, Xie Qingcheng hardly used his personal cell phone when he was recuperating in the United States, and occasionally went to the computer room to surf the Internet and video with his family, or simply went back to the old-fashioned way of making phone calls to get in touch with each other. So Chen Man basically inquired about Xie Qingcheng's situation from Xie Xue, and this is the first time he has seen Xie Qingcheng's face in three years.

Officer Chen stared at Xie Qingcheng for a while, then said, "Are you ...... all right?"

Xie Qingcheng nodded, "What about you?"

Chen Man: "Can't talk about good or bad, Duan Wen day can't catch, we can't rest assured, these three years have been spent on fighting with him, but he's so cunning, he has never set foot in the country, many things are left to others to do. And those people do not have any record, and it is even difficult to forensically prove that they and Duan Wen whether there is contact, in short, large and small conflicts have occurred many times, the sacrifice of comrades has also been fifty-seven ...... or not to do this case to an end, but let him do the thing of the fake drug release."

He said and sighed, "Sometimes I think the naval battle was just an accident that happened yesterday, time really flies when you're fully invested in this case."

Xie Qingcheng said, "I can see that you have changed a lot and grown a lot."

Chen Man looked at him for a moment, "...... But there are things that haven't changed."

Xie Qingcheng understood what he meant, so Xie Qingcheng said, "Then, so do I."

"......" Chen Man's eyes dimmed slightly.

These two or three years, he has not let go of Xie Qingcheng, he is still very fond of him, although Xie Qingcheng blind, fatigue, not as handsome as before ...... These he knows, he has seen in the eyes, he is also very clear that the reason why Xie Qingcheng has become like this, it is because of another man, but he still likes him. He also knows very well that the reason why Xie Qingcheng has become like this is because of another man, but he still likes him.

However, it is slightly worth celebrating that in that long rotation of days and nights, Chen Man's state of mind has become much better than it was back then, he is not that broken down, and he is no longer as reluctant as he was when he initially knew about Xie Qingcheng and He Yu's relationship.

Chen Man is a normal person.

A normal person would have a deep disenchantment, obsession, and hard heart for a relationship.

But he was able to come out of it slowly.

No one will be like once He Yu, in order to get a person can not want anything, for a relationship can be burned out of their own lives, obsession deep into the bone marrow, and the soul of the intertwined.

No one will ever be as sick as he is.

Chen Man glowed for a long time, regained his spirits, forced a smile, and said, "Let's not talk about that then, I want to talk to you about business."

"Go ahead."

Chen Man told Xie Qingcheng about the current spread of Obey 2 in China.

"Our initial count shows that there are at least 300 victims, but less than half of them have reported on their own so far. They are all cancer patients themselves, many of them have few days left, and they feel fear inside and don't want to be put into isolation in a psychiatric hospital and lose the last time they have with their families, a state of mind that we can actually understand."

After a pause, he continued, "But if we let them go on like this, and cases of Obedience 2 takers suddenly going crazy and hurting people keep appearing in the society, it will only aggravate everyone's fear of these types of people more and more, and even cause people to directly begin to discriminate against people with leukemia, because the masses are blind and easily incited, and they'll automatically connect this kind of disease with the 'Obedience 2' connected ...... This is a result that none of us would like to see."

Xie Qingcheng frowned, that was indeed the case.

Once this fear is allowed to spread in society to a certain extent, it inevitably gives birth to extremist fanatics, who are typified by pathological internal solidarity and external demonization of imaginary enemies. They are like the Nazis, incapable of thinking, lacking in reason, believing in their own ideas like a religion, and constantly fabricating rumors and claptrap designed to exaggerate and exaggerate the conflict and then coerce more people into the group ...... If the Obedience 2 problem is not solved soon, these fanatics will fight under the banner of If the issue of Obedience 2 is not resolved as soon as possible, these fanatics will do everything under the banner of "protecting social stability", and they will be far more terrible than the victims of Obedience 2, and the harm they will cause to society will be incalculable.

"We need to develop the Obey 2 cure as fast as possible, and every day we can save is crucial, that's why the Dream Breakers organization asked you to return home to help. If you're willing, I'll take you to enter our organization's biometric system in the next two days, and you'll be able to use all the labs and experimental devices as you wish."

Chen Man said, pulling out an emerald-green cowhide envelope bag with a heraldic seal.

"This is the invitation my superiors asked me to give you. It also contains contact information for important contacts in all departments of the Dreambreaker organization."

Xie Qingcheng took it and opened it up to see many familiar names, from Chen Man to Zheng Jingfeng and the dean ......

"Duan Wen's power is getting more and more horrifying now, after Wei Rong's death, his organization in the inland has changed its blood and reshuffled its cards, it has been difficult for us to grasp the enterprises that are now cooperating with him. But what is certain is that his Mandela organization now has a new high-ranking leader, that person is particularly powerful, completely grasping the situation that Wei Rong and Huang Zhilong were able to stabilize the situation."

Xie Qingcheng listened, locking his brows and raising his eyes, "Who is it?"

"All that's known so far is his codename, gotten from an intercepted message, is Devil."

"Foreigners?"

"From the various styles of behavior, it should be a Chinese. devil began to be responsible for handling all the domestic business for Duan Wen some time ago, but never showed up, this person is said to have no black background, and Duan Wen's cooperation is also established in Australia, Australia does not even have extradition clauses for China, not to mention cross-border investigation of the case, so even if we know that he is Duan Wen's henchman, we can't characterize him as Duan Wen's accomplice. So even if we know that he is Duan Wen's henchman, we can't characterize him as Duan Wen's accomplice at all, and he belongs to the kind of people that we all know in our hearts but can only stare in disbelief due to a lack of evidence."

Xie Qingcheng listened and mused, "He is very capable."

Chen Man nodded: ''But Devil seems to have accomplished all the things he had to do to keep his mysterious identity, next he plans to return to the country with a bright identity, he has no record of breaking the law because he has taken himself off too cleanly, so he can set foot in the country in a dignified manner, and even make the appearance of an outstanding returned entrepreneur, we will next focus on Keep an eye on him - he dares to flip this dark card of his into a bright one, so that means he is prepared to let no drop of water seep through. But again, if it's not watertight, I'm sure he'll have a break after time."

Xie Qingcheng: "When does this person intend to enter the country?"

"Next week." Chen Man said, "He's sent out invitations to many entrepreneurs to host a party at the clubhouse he's paid to have completed. I'll be there, too, as a routine cop. If I get any news related to Obedience 2 at his party, I'll let you know right away."

Xie Qingcheng nodded, "Be safe."

"It doesn't matter, he doesn't dare to make a move, he knows he's just returned home and there are countless pairs of eyes on him." Chen Man said, "But I will pay attention."

The tea was finished, and the residual heat curled up in the cup.

After Xie Qingcheng and Chen Man finished talking about everything, Xie Xue called and asked when Xie Qingcheng would be coming home, and Yaya refused to go to sleep without her uncle's coaxing.

Xie Qingcheng : "......"

Chen Man : "Brother, let me take you back."

Xie Qingcheng paused for a moment and said, "No, I'll take a cab, you rest early."

On the way home from the cafe, Xie Qingcheng thought about what Chen Man had said, and felt a wave of hatred and uneasiness welling up in his heart - it had been two years since Duan Wen had reorganized himself, and not only had he not been brought to justice, but he had also recruited troops and horses, and found such a powerful person from somewhere, and he had the intention of fighting the Dream Breakers to the bitter end. Dream Breaker Organization to the end.

That Devil ......

Xie Qingcheng For some reason, when I think of this name, there is a hidden string in my heart that trembles suddenly, and even my temples throb slightly.

What kind of person is the Devil that the Dreambreakers are going to cross paths with next?

The answer was revealed a week later.

"Powerful news! Powerful news! ...... returns from Australia ...... is his first appearance ...... will be revealed soon ...... "

On a weekend night, Xie Qingcheng was finishing up the test data at home and getting up to make a cup of hot ginger tea at the tea table when this sound came from the TV set in the house.

He took a break just in time, sipping ginger tea as he returned to the television, ready to change the channel.

Before his finger was on the button, however, he realized that the station was broadcasting real-time news from the business community in Hushu - that Devil's return to the country.

The reporter waiting at the airport with a microphone in hand had a look of pressed shock on his face, and not only him, but all those who had seen Devil's real face for the first time boiled over after being dumbfounded.

As if the time was going backwards, Xie Qingcheng's hand trembled violently, the tea cup fell to the ground, the half-hot tea splashed on his front lapel, but he didn't realize it, he stared at the screen with the eyes that hadn't lost their sight, and the ghostly light of the screen reflected back on his instantly pale and bloodless face.

The camera switches and pushes in closer, accompanied by blinding flashes, and the returning reporters shout fiercely ...... Xie Qingcheng saw on TV the figure that, all these years, had never even appeared in his dreams-

A tall young man stepped out of customs, dressed in a lead-silver suit and tie of the same color, with a plain white shirt of high-fashion simplicity underneath. He looked a little more mature and handsome than he had before the naval battle took place; he was uninjured and unharmed, his manners were gentle and his demeanor impeccable. When the camera pushed fully into his face, he gave the camera a mechanical smile, one almond-shaped eye raised without any semblance of real laughter in it.

This man turned out to be--

He Yu!

Xie Qingcheng The brain buzzed, as if struck by a million pounds of sea waves, all of a sudden the entire consciousness is blank ......
