Rebirth of Corrupt Officials - Chapter 75

After completing all the formalities, Jiang Xiaochuan touched his empty wrist and walked out of that cramped and depressing place. However, his body left, but his heart remained inside.

He knew that he could not escape, and the dignity of party discipline and state law could not be trampled on.

He looked up at the sky, which was still gloomy and depressing.

Surrounded by his entourage and sent out, Jiang Xiaochuan couldn’t help but turn around and look back at the tall building. The large smooth dark blue glass reflected the dim skylight, and gray clouds passed over the top of the building. Lian Cheng might have been standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on a certain floor, perhaps with a cigarette between his fingers.

He couldn’t guess Lian Cheng’s expression, but he knew that Lian Cheng must have been looking at the copper coins he left behind.

The mother’s coin of Qianlong Tongbao, used to make bracelet.

At first, Lian Cheng couldn’t let go of the bracelet, but when he gave it back to him, he said, “A gentleman never takes away someone’s love.”

He believed that Lian Cheng was a smart enough person to be able to discover something from this copper coin bracelet.

After leaving that place, those people dispersed. Everyone’s expression was too indifferent. Jiang Xiaochuan didn’t mind. These people were just unrelated strangers.

But he was surprised by a car that appeared at the intersection.

Lian Cheng had said that Yue Qingci had returned from Tibet.

But in Jiang Xiaochuan’s memory, the turmoil in Tibet lasted for a long time. How could Yue Qingci come back so soon?

But when the window of the black car rolled down, he knew that Lian Cheng was not lying.

Yue Qingci was back.

Back then he left so suddenly, and his return caught him off guard.

Yue Qingci was sitting in the car, and a face appeared in the car window, looking tired and haggard that could not be concealed. When he was tired, his disguise weakened, and Jiang Xiaochuan saw something different in his eyes.

It was a kind of persistence that had gone through rain, snow, wind, and frost, but in the end endured the pain and pursued something.

Why did such a young Yue Qingci have such eyes?

At that moment, his heart seemed to be pinched hard by something.

He could hardly suppress his heavy breathing and looked at Yue Qingci.

Yue Qingci rubbed his eyebrows, as if to cheer himself up. He saw that Jiang Xiaochuan looked a little strange. It was autumn, and he was still wearing such thin clothes, so he looked even thinner. He suppressed the concern before he blurted out, and just faintly said, “Brother Xiaochuan, get in the car.”

Normally, he called him with a smile and a bit casually, now he had a smile on his face, but his voice was very heavy. Jiang Xiaochuan felt awkward hearing the words “Brother Xiaochuan.”

But he still opened the car door and got in.

“Yue Qingci, why are you back so early?”

Jiang Xiaochuan’s words stunned Yue Qingci for a moment, and he asked, “How do you know that I came back early?”

Jiang Xiaochuan accidentally let it slip, if he hadn’t been reborn, he shouldn’t have known how soon Yue Qingci would come back, because this time, the incidents of turmoil, smashing, looting, and burning in Tibet were kept secret, and the Chengzhou Military Region’s people who were transferred were kept completely confidential.

Even Jiang Xiaochuan had no way of knowing when they would leave and when they would come back. He said casually, “I just think the timing is a bit coincidental.”

Yue Qingci closed his eyes and said nothing for a moment, but quietly clenched his fingers together.

After a long time, he shouted, “Let’s drive to the old man’s villa.”

The old man’s villa was naturally more safe.

Jiang Xiaochuan shook his head, “Let’s go to the hospital first.”

“Provincial hospital?” Yue Qingci suddenly opened his eyes, and the bloodshot eyes were finally clearly visible. He hadn’t rested well at all in Tibet. It took him a long time to get back after receiving the message from Wei Lai. The mission was urgent. It also took time to complete. He rushed back almost immediately as soon as the matter was over. Because the situation there was urgent, the airport was temporarily closed, but the trains were still open. After he came back, he received a call from Lian Cheng, asking him to pick up Jiang Xiaochuan.

Lian Cheng’s tone at that time was very bad and cold.

But why would Lian Cheng call him?

He looked at Jiang Xiaochuan’s quiet profile and couldn’t ask any more questions.

At this time, ordinary people would definitely have suspected that Jiang Xiaochuan had revealed something. Now—was he here to test him or something?

In the last life, Jiang Xiaochuan was capable to say his name because of Lian Cheng, but what about this life?

He exhaled a long breath, but his entire chest felt depressed, as if trying to hide something deeply.

That time when they passed each other, he was walking beside Lian Cheng, but he was all alone.

Jiang Xiaochuan asked him, “Have you ever liked me?”

And he replied, “Never, just using you.”

In fact, his heart was bleeding at that time.

However, Jiang Xiaochuan couldn’t see him.

He could not see it.

He also told Jiang Xiaochuan that if there really was someone worthy of his love, he would be willing to sacrifice everything, including his life. But Jiang Xiaochuan said he didn’t believe it.

How could he dare to approach him? The closer he went, the deeper the injury.

Furthermore… this Jiang Xiaochuan in front of him…

He covered his eyes again and closed them.
