Chapter 50: The Spirit is Lively and Present

  "Xiao Qiang's things won't work out." Chen Xiru seemed to say with great certainty.

  "What? You don't want them to succeed?" Mrs. Chen asked discontentedly, looking at Chen Xiru.

  "Am I not also playing matchmaker for them?" Chen Xiru said, looking at his wife.

  "The effect of your matchmaking has come out." Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Xiru with a smile and said, "You don't know that when Xiaoqiang invited Cai Mengyao to dance, this Wenjie, she almost drank all the wine in the whole party."

  "Really?" Chen Xiru seemed to ask in a somewhat surprised tone.

  "Of course it's true. Oh my, I'm telling you, when I had Xiao Qiang send her back, her expression was just... They might just succeed tonight." Mrs. Chen said with a smile, and then made a gesture with her hand.

  "Xiao Mei isn't that kind of person, is she?" Chen Xiru said, seemingly somewhat disbelieving.

  "Which kind of person is it that has nothing to do with this?" Mrs. Chen asked him.

  The couple burst out laughing as they spoke.

  "Alright, alright, after eating the bird's nest, let's go to sleep." Chen Xiru said with a smile, and handed the bowl of bird's nest on the tea table to his wife.

  Mrs. Chen took over the bowl and, with a pair of eyes as beautiful as water, glanced at Chen Xiru before starting to eat the bird's nest.

  Besides, in Shi Hu Lin's house's spacious living room.

  Young and beautiful Mrs. Shi was sitting upright in a armchair, receiving pulse diagnosis from a doctor. Her eyes were constantly moving, as if there was some secret in her heart.

  Shi Hu Lin stood beside his wife, gazing at them.

  After a while, Mr. Langzhong let go of Mrs. Shi's hand and stood up with a smile. Shi Hulian hurried over to welcome him. Mr. Langzhong smiled as he looked around his side.

  Shi Hu Lin understood, and immediately said to his wife: "Madam, please go rest in the back hall."

  At this time, a maid immediately came over and supported Mrs. Shi to the back.

  "Master, the pulse of the lady doesn't seem to be pregnancy, but rather due to wind and cold. I'll give her a few doses of medicine, and she'll be fine after some adjustments." The doctor smiled as he spoke to Shi Hu Lin.

  "Ah! Is it an empty joy?" Shi Hu Lin listened and asked with great surprise.

  "Old master, you often want to have a child, and I, who have been following you for a long time, also wish to see your descendants thrive. In my opinion, why not go to the hospital to check, find out the reason why you and your wife are infertile?" The doctor smiled and said to Shi Hu Lin.

  "Foreigners' place? I don't like going there. What kind of examination, physical check-up, treating people like animals." Shi Hu Lin said.

  "Sir, you've got it wrong. Actually, that place is quite advanced, they use instruments. It's also very quick, won't make you feel uncomfortable." Mr. Lang Zhong explained with a smile.

  "For many years, she's been given all sorts of medicine and tried every method, but there's still no sign of improvement." He muttered to himself.

  Suddenly, he turned around and looked at the doctor with a very serious expression, saying: "You go and make arrangements for me. I'll go with you. Remember, this matter must be kept confidential."

  "Alright, sir, I will." Mr. Lang Zhong said with a smile.

  At this time, in my liberated area, there was a prison of the Public Security Bureau. Niu Waizi was sitting on a small bed, wearing black clothes. In front of the bed, his cane was lying beside him.

  At this time, he was lowering his head and thinking about his previous life.

  In the backyard of a wealthy Mr. Zhang's house.

  Two ten-year-old children were chasing and laughing among the flowers. In front of him stood a young and beautiful woman.

  "Jiang also speaks a bit strangely, I wonder if he knows about our things?" The woman asked, looking at the young and handsome Niu Waizi.

  "It's okay, I'm here. As long as you and your mother are safe and happy, that's all that matters." Niu Waizi said, comforting her while repairing the stove.

  Having finished speaking, they saw people in the garden and started chasing each other around the flower clusters.

  Recalling the warm and happy scene, Niu Waizi also felt sweet happiness in his heart. The problem is that he can't control himself now. Now his own son has appeared, and it's the wolf mentioned in the superior's notice.

  My own son may be a wolf, but I will protect him and not let him fall into the hands of the Communist Party, fulfilling my duty as a father.

  Thinking of this, Niu Waizi couldn't sit still anymore. He got down from the bed, "thud thud" with his crutches, came to the door and shouted loudly at the outside: "Comrades, I want to see your leader! Comrades, I want to see your leader!"

  In the laboratory of the hospital, Li Kezhang had just finished injecting and was still sitting in the chair, about to speak.

  "Report."

  With a loud noise, Ding Si strode in with big steps. As soon as he saw the couple was about to speak, he turned around and left.

  "What's wrong?" Li Kezhang turned his head and asked Ding Si.

  Here, Dr. Liu Yumei also began to collect the instruments on the medical table.

  "That ox-like fellow is making a ruckus wanting to see you." Ding Si said looking at Li Ke Chang.

  "Alright, I'll go right away." Director Li said, and then stood up and walked out.

  In the interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau.

  Niu Waizi was sitting right across from Li Kechang, his eyes gazing at him with longing.

  "I am willing to wear a crime and make merits, I am willing to wait for the crime and make merits." Niu Waizi said to Li Kechang in a row.

  Li Kezhang looked at Niu Waizi with his wooden pipe that resembled a sword, without saying a word. After a while,

  With a loud "bang", Li Kezhang slammed his hand on the table and shouted loudly: "Niu Waizi!"

  "Yes, sir." Niu Waizi heard this and his whole body trembled, involuntarily shouting out loud.

  "You're still not honest enough." Director Li said loudly while staring at Niu Waizi.

  "Director, I've said all I need to say." Niu Waizi said with great fear as he looked at Li Kezhang.

  "Your street time is not on the 16th." Director Li said in a low voice, staring at him.

  Upon hearing this, Niu Waizi trembled all over again, opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say a word.

  "It's the 18th. Do you know our policy?" Director Li asked, looking at the desk with the pen in his hand.

  "I know, I know." said Niu Waizi with a nod and a bow.

  At this time, in the office of the Military Bureau's Secretariat Department.

  Liu Shijiang was sitting in his own seat reading a newspaper, while Cai Mengyao across from him was bent over writing something.

  Liu Shijiang, although an author, was reading a newspaper, but at this moment his heart was extremely anxious.

  With his meeting with the new contact imminent, he was being watched by Cai Mengyao, who was monitoring him and restricting his movements.

  He thought for a moment, then unconsciously pulled out his pocket watch from his waist and took a look.

  In order to gain time, he had no choice but to pretend to be ill.

  At this time, Liu Shijiang suddenly slowly lowered his head and supported it with both hands.

  "Shi Qiang, what's wrong with you?"

  Cai Mengyao, who was writing with a flourish, looked up and asked with concern when she saw Liu Shiqiang like this.

  "I have a bit of a headache." Liu Shijiang said, looking at Cai Mengyao.

  Cai Mengyao's enthusiasm and concern at this time, which was initially hostile to him, made Liu Shijiang feel incredible.

  Just then, in the corridor outside the office, Liang Rujie was tiptoeing quietly towards this side.

  Cai Mengyao opened the door of the office, just walked out, and suddenly bumped into Liang Rujie who was sneaking up.

  "What's wrong with you now?" Cai Mengyao hastily retreated a step, frowning and looking at Liang Rujie with great dissatisfaction.

  "I want to give you a surprise." Liang Rujie said, looking at Cai Mengyao.

  "Alright, alright. I still need to go buy medicine for Secretary Liu. You can continue to be melancholic when I get back." Cai Mengyao said as she hastily walked out without even giving Liang Rujie a glance.

  As he watched Cai Mengyao's departing figure, Liang Rujie shook his head in pain and was about to leave when Mei Wenjie walked over from outside.

  Liang Rujie grasped Mei Wenjie's arm as if he had caught a lifeline.

  "What's wrong with you?" Mei Wenjie exclaimed, throwing out his arm in surprise as he stared at Liang Rujie.

  "Captain Mei, can you and Secretary Liu hurry up?" Liang Rujie said with a pleading expression.

  "What's going on?" Mei Wenjie asked in confusion.

  "You and Secretary Liu get married soon, okay? Otherwise, things between me and Meng Yao will be ruined." Liang Rujie said to Mei Wenjie with a pleading expression.

  "Let go, and don't say such things again." Mei Wenjie said, suddenly flinging off Liang Rujie's hand and walking into his own office.

  At this time, Liu Shijiang just came out of his office, and Mei Wenjie also immediately came to the door from his own office.

  "Are you feeling better?" Mei Wenjie asked Liu Shiqiang with concern.

  "Oh, I feel a bit overwhelmed and want to go home and rest." Liu Shijiang said to Mei Wenjie.

  "I'll send you back." Mei Wenjie said to Liu Shiqiang.

  "No, no, no, I'll go back myself." Liu Shijiang declined Mei Wenjie's kindness and walked out.

  He didn't want Meiweng to send it because he was worried that Meiweng would use the excuse of sending himself to secretly monitor him. Moreover, with her around, his activities would also be restricted.

  So Liu Shijiang refused Mei Wenjie's kindness.

  At this moment, Chen Xiru was sitting in the director's office.

  "Report." The loud voice of Maji Ping came from outside the door.

  "Come in." Chen Xiru said, looking at the doorway.

  As soon as the door opened, Ma Jiping walked quickly to Chen Xiru's side with a file folder and said loudly: "Director, I need you to sign this document."

  He said, and then respectfully handed over the file folder in his hand to Chen Xiru.

  Chen Xiru took the folder from Maji Ping's hand and put it on the desk, picked up the pen and said: "You say, is this Nanjing government going crazy? So many documents were issued in one day."
