Ye Wenqi glanced at Gu Chen, but did not speak. At the end of this sea of flowers, there were only two residents.
One is the deaf-mute old lady, and the other is her own daughter, Ye Juanjuan.
And the young woman standing at the door of the house at this time is also his daughter Ye Juanjuan.
Every time Ye Wenqi and his wife came here to visit their daughter in the name of public welfare tree planting, daughter Ye Juanjuan would stand at the door just like today, as if waiting for something?
And every time Ye Wenqi and his wife came to their daughter Ye Juanjuan and greeted her, but Ye Juanjuan never spoke.
The two couples can also understand, after all, there is a mental problem, and this lonely deaf-mute old lady is the only one who accompanies her daughter.
The two have been together for a long time, and no one has spoken for a long time. It is normal for the daughter not to talk.
At first, Ye Wenqi thought so, but after a while, he found that his daughter didn't seem to speak anymore.
This made Ye Wenqi and his wife very anxious.
So every time Ye Wenqi's parents came to Nanling to visit their daughter Ye Juanjuan in the name of public welfare tree planting, they would try their best to chat with her daughter Ye Juanjuan about daily life.
But no matter how Ye Wenqi and his wife communicated with their daughter, the daughter seemed to be dumb.
This made the couple almost collapse...
Along the muddy path in the middle of the sea of flowers, Ye Wenqi led Gu Chen and the others to the door of the house.
At the end of the dirt path is the entrance to the fence in front of the house yard.
At this moment, Ye Juanjuan looked forward blankly as usual.
But when she saw Ye Wenqi followed by a man and a woman in police uniforms, Ye Juanjuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and her body couldn't help but tremble.
"Juanjuan." Ye Wenqi stepped forward, held his daughter's arm and greeted her.
However, Ye Juanjuan threw her arms away in front of everyone, as if she didn't give her father any face.
However, at this moment, everyone has surrounded Ye Juanjuan.
Looking at this person who was supposed to stay in the cemetery, he is now standing in front of him intact.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, as if feeling a little unbelievable.
At this time, Hu Fanzhen, who had been walking behind before, pushed aside Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha, and walked to the front from behind them.
Two women of similar age looked at each other and looked at each other up and down.
Although the two have never met each other, from the eyes of both of them, Gu Chen can even see that for this kind of close friends who have been dating for many years on the Internet, one look can represent everything.
"Ye...Ye Juanjuan?" Hu Fanzhen stammered excitedly, and asked, "You are Ye Juanjuan, right? I am Hu Fanzhen from Jiangbei City, do you remember?"
"You said, you said that after returning to China, you would invite me to visit Jiangnan City, do you remember?"
At the end of speaking, Hu Fanzhen suddenly choked up, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.
Sniffing, Hu Fanzhen said again: "But you missed the appointment. I just promised you and accepted your invitation, but you suddenly disappeared for several years."
"During this period, if I didn't finish a single thing, I would share it with you. Although it has all disappeared, it doesn't matter."
"Every year on your birthday, I will send you blessings. Before, the two of us talked about everything, but suddenly, after you sent out the invitation, there was no news."
"I even thought that you were already in love, so the experience was all about feelings, and I even complained in my heart. Sure enough, friendship is worthless in front of love."
With a faint sigh, Hu Fanzhen looked at his good sister Ye Juanjuan in front of him, and couldn't hide the sadness in his heart anymore, so he continued to choke and said:
"In the past few years, I have been admitted to university. During the year you disappeared, I will share everything about myself with you at almost every important moment."
"In the days that followed, although there was no news about you, I still did not give up looking for you."
"Until recently, I found your home address through your local netizens, and finally got to know your name with the help of several comrades in the police."
Putting his hands on Ye Juanjuan's shoulders with dull eyes, Hu Fanzhen said in a heavy tone: "So your name is Ye Juanjuan, what a nice name."
"That was the first time I got to know your real name through the police comrades on the phone, but just when I was full of joy and thought that my friend who had been out of touch for several years was lost, the bad news came one after another."
"Comrade police told me that you passed away a few years ago. Just after you sent me an invitation to visit Jiangnan City, you died suddenly of a heart problem that night."
Raising his left hand, Hu Fanzhen wiped the teardrops from the corner of his eyes with the back of his hand, and said excitedly: "At that time, I felt that I had worked so hard, and what I had obtained suddenly disappeared."
"Do you know that feeling of rushing from the bottom to the top, and then falling from the top to the bottom?"
Hu Fanzhen's heart-piercing confession moved everyone present.
Gu Chen has never experienced such a thing.
The two netizens who have never met, and who have never even revealed their real names, have always maintained a deep friendship.
But when the two of them prepared to meet in Jiangnan City with longing, Ye Juanjuan's invitation suddenly disappeared for several years.
This made Hu Fanzhen in Jiangbei City suddenly panic.
She doesn't know what she did wrong? In fact she did nothing wrong.
Ye Juanjuan's sudden loss of contact made Hu Fan really seem to have lost something in his life?
Hu Fanzhen has also made various conjectures, doubted himself, and assumed various possibilities.
But in the end Hu Fanzhen did not give up looking for Ye Juanjuan's trace.
In this regard, Gu Chen still admires him very much.
Fortunately, when I was performing another task, I accidentally helped out, and this made Hu Fanzhen's regrets for several years finally come true.
For Hu Fanzhen, Gu Chen felt that what she said just now was not true. Hu Fanzhen said that he rushed to the top from the bottom because his friend who had been out of touch for several years finally got news again.
From the peak to the trough again, it was because of the news of the death of a friend.
But now, after being kidnapped, she saw Ye Juanjuan alive again.
Gu Chen felt that Hu Fanzhen once again went from a low point to a peak.
This kind of ups and downs psychological gap almost made Hu Fanzhen collapse.
At this moment, everyone also noticed that Ye Juanjuan, who was silent before, suddenly had two strangle marks at the corners of her eyes.
He began to clamp Hu Fanzhen's face with both hands, and wiped Hu Fanzhen's tears with his thumb.
"Hu...Hu Fanzhen? So your name is Hu Fanzhen?"
At first, everyone thought that Ye Juanjuan was already mentally disturbed at this time, and even became dumb.
But with Ye Juanjuan's emotional upheavals, while she was able to pronounce Hu Fan's real name, even Ye Wenqi was dumbfounded at the moment.
In the past few years, Ye Wenqi knew that he had sinned deeply, and thought that his daughter's insanity and inability to speak were all retribution for his own bad deeds.
But today, Ye Wenqi heard his daughter Ye Juanjuan speak for the first time in several years, and tears fell down instantly.
Hu Fanzhen looked Ye Juanjuan up and down in front of him, and said curiously: "Ye Juanjuan, yes, I am Hu Fanzhen, and I am your good sister Hu Fanzhen, I bring..."
In the middle of the conversation, Hu Fanzhen hurriedly turned his head to look at Gu Chen and the others, and explained to Ye Juanjuan, "I brought the police to see you, and I finally found out today that the Jiangbei food you told me about is a donkey roll."
"And your parents' expression changes when they saw the donkey rolling, and the secrets in your cemetery. I finally know these. The code words you told me actually want me to bring the police to solve this puzzle, right?"
Seeing Ye Juanjuan nod her head slightly, Hu Fanzhen was overwhelmed with excitement, and turned her head to look at Gu Chen frequently, saying excitedly:
"I did it, and I have lived up to your trust in me. Even if you have been out of touch for several years, I have finally solved this puzzle."
After thinking about it, Ye Juanjuan immediately changed her mind and said, "Oh no, I didn't solve the riddle, it was Police Officer Gu, it was Gu Chen, it was Gu Chen who helped me solve the riddle."
Hu Fanzhen realized that all of this was due to Gu Chen, so he quickly pulled Gu Chen to his side, and introduced to Ye Juanjuan:
"Ye Juanjuan, let me introduce you. This is Gu Chen, the captain of the criminal investigation team of Jiangnan Furong Branch. She helped me solve the puzzle."
"If it wasn't for him, maybe the current me would have been buried in a certain cemetery. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be able to see you."
After a pause, Hu Fanzhen, who was overwhelmed with excitement at the moment, hurriedly said to Gu Chen: "Officer Gu, this is Ye Juanjuan, she is alive, she is really alive..."
Hu Fanzhen said half of what he said, but he didn't know if he was feeling emotional or what? Suddenly, he didn't feel tense, and started crying with tears streaming down his face.
"Hu Fanzhen." Ye Juanjuan took out her own tissue and began to help Hu Fanzhen wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Seeing this situation, Gu Chen also took advantage of the situation and asked: "Ye Juanjuan, in fact, you have always been able to talk, right?"
Ye Juanjuan looked at Gu Chen and nodded slightly.
"You're not mentally ill either, are you?"
Ye Juanjuan hesitated for a few seconds, but still nodded slightly.
This broke Ye Wenqi on the side, and walked up to her in a huff, and asked her daughter Ye Juanjuan:
"Juanjuan, so you have been pretending to be sick these past few years? Do you know how sad you have made me and your mother? We don't know what to do?"
"Ye Wenqi." At this moment, Hu Fanzhen did not call Ye Wenqi's father, but directly called "Ye Wenqi", and said involuntarily:
"You have done all kinds of bad things. I don't have the face to face a father like you. Why do I pretend to be sick? Why don't I speak? Because I don't know how I should face an executioner."
Hearing this, Ye Wenqi seemed ashamed, and slowly lowered his head, as if he knew that he had sinned deeply.
But Ye Juanjuan didn't mean to end, she also questioned Ye Wenqi: "You keep saying that it is for my own good, but you take other people's lives to make money for yourself, do you know what I saw when I was in America? ?You do not know."
Speaking of this, Ye Juanjuan's tears also fell down.
Lu Weiwei pointed the law enforcement recorder at the Ye family's father and daughter, and tried her best to be a bystander, standing aside and recording silently.
Ye Wenqi, who was already a suspect at this moment, did not refute too much, but just silently lowered his head, not even daring to look directly at his daughter.
Ye Juanjuan choked up, and continued: "You sent me to the United States to receive so-called public medical assistance. You kept saying that it was for my own good, but do you know what they did to me?"
"They used me for illegal clinical experiments. I wanted to resist, but I couldn't fight them."
"They said they were treating me, but after taking their medicine, I almost went out of my body in pain several times, and I even saw myself lying on the cold hospital bed several times."
Sniffing, Ye Juanjuan was also very angry, pointed at Ye Wenqi and questioned, "Is this what you said for my own good?"
"I don't know either." Ye Wenqi was questioned by his daughter Ye Juanjuan pointing at her nose, and her heart was about to break at this moment.
He tried his best to raise his head, and said with regret: "It's not like you didn't know the conditions of our family at that time. Because of your illness, from childhood to adulthood, our family spent all our savings."
"But even so, I never thought of giving up on you. When I heard that there is an international medical public welfare fund that can help patients go to the United States for treatment."
"How can I miss out on such a good thing as being able to have a host family and go to a public school?"
Speaking of this, Ye Wenqi also wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh: "You don't know, during the time when I sent you abroad, I have already borrowed the money that should be borrowed from all relatives. I did my best with your mother."
"However, we are also desperate, and no relatives dare to lend us money."
"And there are only two paths before your mother and me. One is to let the pain slowly torture you until you lose your life in pain."
"There is another one, which is to become a target of the Troy Medical Assistance Public Welfare Fund and accept their medical assistance."
Seeing her father Ye Wenqi's penitent eyes looking at her, Ye Juanjuan's heart felt like a knife was being stabbed, and she felt deeply hurt in her heart.
Ye Wenqi, who was standing in front of him, couldn't help but sniffled, and continued to explain:
"At that time, even though your mother and I had a lot of reluctance, there was no way. In order to let you live with dignity, we decided to give it a try, and agreed to the invitation of Troy Medical Public Welfare to help."
"I just want you to go to the United States to receive the best medical assistance and study, but I didn't expect that the Troy team would use you as the subject of illegal clinical experiments."
"But, Juanjuan, you have to believe me. Your mother and I didn't know about it beforehand, but when I heard about what happened to you there, your mother and I also contacted the person in charge of the Troy Medical Charity Fund as soon as possible. Man, negotiate with him."
"That's when they agreed that if they want you to stay in the United States to receive free and formal scientific treatment, they have to help them find two other volunteers as a substitute."
Taking a deep breath, Ye Wenqi was also filled with grief and indignation, and blamed himself:
"That's when I realized that these so-called Troy public welfare funds are nothing but business."
"I didn't have much hope at first, but now they have given me an option that can save your life and even help you recover from treatment."
"I have no choice. Your mother and I are just little people. For your health, we can do our best. You are our everything. We will do everything we can to let you live with dignity."
Sniffing, Ye Wenqi tried to calm himself down, and then said slowly:
"So, from then on, I found that for you, I can give up all bottom lines, including the life and death of others. This doesn't seem to be my concern."
"The only thing I care about is keeping you alive."
"But in the end you took other people's lives as a trifling matter." Ye Juanjuan was already in tears at this moment.
She knew that her father, Ye Wenqi, did everything for her own sake, but Ye Juanjuan was also a person with a conscience.
This kind of help puts her under tremendous pressure.
Choking up a few times, Ye Juanjuan said angrily, "If you take other people's lives as a joke in order to keep me alive, then I would rather not live like this."
"But you keep saying that for me, in the first two recruitments of volunteers, they can completely replace me. At that time, I can completely receive free scientific treatment in the United States."
"But look at what you did in the end? In order to obtain high referral fees, you began to recruit patients to the United States without a bottom line."
"You kept saying it was for me, but in the end you became a slave to money. In the end, it was all an excuse for me. In fact, you just wanted to make money."
Ye Juanjuan almost uttered the last sentence in a growling tone.
In front of his daughter Ye Juanjuan, Ye Wenqi's last trace of hypocrisy seemed to be ruthlessly exposed.
Ye Wenqi's expression was dull, and he knelt down on the ground instantly with a "plop".
Seeing this, Ye Juanjuan was also taken aback by her father's move. She just wanted to step forward to help her father up, but her conscience stopped her.
At this moment, Ye Juanjuan was heartbroken. She knew that the one kneeling in front of her was her father who had silently sacrificed for her for decades.
But Ye Juanjuan also knew that the person kneeling in front of her was an indirect executioner, her father who became the accomplice of those demons.
Family affection and conscience made him emotionally collapse in an instant.
Ye Juanjuan shook her head. Instead of helping her father up, she directly chose to kneel on the ground with a "plop".
"Ye Juanjuan?" Seeing this, Hu Fanzhen wanted to help her up, but Gu Chen held her back.
Gu Chen walked up to Ye Wenqi, and said involuntarily: "Ye Wenqi, you always know now, are you helping your daughter these years, or are you hurting her?"
"I know." Ye Wenqi nodded with a sob, and said with self-blame:
"At first, my thoughts were not wrong. I just wanted to help my daughter get rid of the torment of illness."
"But when I knew what the Troy team was doing in the United States, I chose to compromise, because I knew that even if my daughter Ye Juanjuan came back, I, as a father, would not be able to help her."
"So in order to gamble, I gradually joined them and used the method of introducing other volunteers in exchange for my daughter's treatment."
Sucking his nose, Ye Wenqi also felt remorse, sighed and said:
"But later, I found out that this business is really easy to make money, and they offer too much, and I can't refuse at all."
"It wasn't until later that I heard that the patients referred to me were all in the United States, and one by one died of accidents."
"I knew at the time that it was an accident, but it was actually the Troy team who were behind the scenes."
"They must have died from those illegal clinical experiments, but I dare not say, because I am an accomplice, but how can there be an arrow to turn back?"
"I feel that I can't go back. When I want to give up again and again, they use thick banknotes to pull me back again and again. I...I feel that I can't get out."
Glancing at his daughter Ye Juanjuan who was also kneeling in front of him, Ye Wenqi shook his head and sighed: "I'm sorry for my daughter, and I'm sorry for those patients who died in the United States because of me, and I'm even more sorry for the families of the deceased."
"I deserve what I deserve, I'm a trash, a scum, I can't even look down on myself..."
Ye Wenqi said that in the end, it was hard to hide the sadness in his heart, and he buried his head on the ground, as if waiting for him would be a road to redemption.
...
...
After a few days.
After completing the investigation of Ye Wenqi's case, Gu Chen put the documents on the table and paused.
At this moment, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.
Gu Chen picked up the phone and saw that the caller turned out to be Hu Fanzhen from Jiangbei City.
Thinking that Hu Fan really took Ye Juanjuan to Jiangbei City to relax, he wondered how the two of them are doing now?
Gu Chen simply connected the video call.
"Gu Chen, long time no see." In the video, Hu Fanzhen waved to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen grinned: "It's only a few days, by the way, is Ye Juanjuan okay with you?"
"Very well. I take care of her like my own sister. She invited me to travel in Jiangnan City before, but this trip has been delayed for several years. It's really thrilling."
"However, as a girl from the north, I naturally want to invite Ye Juanjuan to visit our Jiangbei City, so this can be regarded as a reward."
"That's good." Gu Chen took a deep breath.
It was everyone's consensus to agree that Hu Fanzhen would take Ye Juanjuan to Jiangbei City.
In the current situation, Ye Juanjuan is still alone in Jiangnan City. Her parents and uncle have been arrested.
Therefore, when Hu Fanzhen asked to take Ye Juanjuan to Jiangbei City to heal her injuries, everyone reluctantly agreed after deliberation.
At least Hu Fanzhen will take care of Ye Juanjuan.
Thinking of Ye Juanjuan and Hu Fanzhen staying together, Gu Chen asked curiously, "Where is Ye Juanjuan?"
"Gu Chen, Officer Gu, why do you only have Ye Juanjuan in your heart?" When Hu Fan really saw Gu Chen asking about Ye Juanjuan's situation, he made fun of it on purpose.
Just as Gu Chen was about to explain, Hu Fanzhen immediately waved his hand and said, "Yes, I'm afraid that I won't treat Ye Juanjuan badly, Ye Juanjuan, come here quickly, Gu Chen is looking for you."
As soon as the words fell, Hu Fanzhen walked away from the camera of the mobile phone, and pulled Ye Juanjuan to his side from one side.
Ye Juanjuan looked at Gu Chen in the video, and waved her hand to say hello: "Hello, Officer Gu, if the trial starts, I will come back to testify. I will be impartial and will never have selfish motives. Please rest assured..."
Ye Juanjuan seemed to be a little nervous, so she talked with Gu Chen about the trial.
Gu Chen grinned and said, "I believe in you, but you don't have to be so nervous. I just want to ask, are you doing well there? Are you still used to it?"
"I'm used to it." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Ye Juanjuan glanced at Hu Fanzhen beside her, and said:
"Hu Fan is really good to me, we two are like sisters..."
"Aren't we actually sisters? Over the years, I have always regarded you as a sister!" Before Ye Juanjuan could finish speaking, Hu Fanzhen couldn't help but interjected.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
During the entire chat, there were laughter and laughter, and there was peace.
Gu Chen also saw from Ye Juanjuan's smile that Ye Juanjuan seemed to have stepped out of the haze of the past few years, and finally chose to accept a normal life.
Gu Chen was happy for her, and it was only after chatting with the two of them for a while that they hung up the phone.
Lu Weiwei, who had been listening to Gu Chen chatting with Hu Fanzhen and Ye Juanjuan, saw Gu Chen hang up the phone, and then turned around and asked, "Junior Gu, are Hu Fanzhen and Ye Juanjuan okay?"
"It's good, the two are like a family, maybe they were a family in the previous life?" Gu Chen also joked.
"Oh." Lu Weiwei said "Oh" and said in thought: "They are happy, but I don't know how to reply to Bai Xiaolan at Jiangnan TV Station and Jiang Xiaomi at Jiangnan Daily."
"After all, I was the one who invited them to report before, but now, because of our case investigation, this report has been suppressed again and again."
"Now that Ye Juanjuan has gone to Jiangbei City, I don't know how disappointed Bai Xiaolan and Jiang Xiaomi are?"
"Yes." Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Gu Chen suddenly realized: "They have suppressed our report for a long time."
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen said again: "How about this, didn't they not follow up and report on the scene about some of the follow-up video footage?"
"Then provide them with a copy of the footage captured by our law enforcement recorder, so that they can fill in the gaps in their follow-up reports."
"Understood, but..." Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Lu Weiwei said again: "But I dare not send them any more messages. You don't know that Bai Xiaolan and Jiang Xiaomi have sent me messages these days. How many messages?"
"They always ask me, can that report be published? When will it be published?"
"Especially Jiang Xiaomi, she hasn't written a report with 100,000+ views for a long time, people are waiting for this report to become a hit, so that they can explain it to their editor-in-chief Miejue Shitai who is going through menopause .”
"There is also Bai Xiaolan, who is also reminded every day. I feel that I dare not read her information now. Whenever I see a red dot in her dialog box, I dare not click on it."
"Who asked you, Lu Weiwei, to do bad things with good intentions?" Listening to Lu Weiwei complaining to Gu Chen, Police Officer Wang couldn't help laughing:
Lu Weiwei spread her hands and said helplessly, "Can you blame me? I also wanted to provide them with some good materials, but who knew it would end up like this?"
Leaning on the seat, and then picked up a pack of unpacked potato chips, Lu Weiwei also complained while eating the potato chips: "However, the resolution of the matter is not bad, it can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end."
"But let me reply to them, I think it's better to forget it, they are still angry with me now."
Glancing at Gu Chen behind him, Lu Weiwei said helplessly, "So, Junior Brother Gu, I have to trouble you to come out."
"Okay." Gu Chen didn't hesitate, picked up the phone directly, and dialed the number of Bai Xiaolan from the TV station.
After the phone rang "Listen to me, thank you, because of you, the four seasons are warm", and the phone was connected.
Bai Xiaolan also asked curiously: "Gu Chen, why did you think of calling me? Lu Weiwei asked you to call me, right?"
"How do you know?" Gu Chen expressed shock, he obviously didn't say anything, but Bai Xiaolan already knew the reason.
Bai Xiaolan was also lifeless and said: "I guessed that she asked you to call me, and it was because I was too anxious these days. The last report, it took a long time for us to publish it, so I was also anxious."
"Thinking of such a good report, it would be a pity if it died? So I urged her every day. I guess Lu Weiwei was also annoyed by me, so I asked you to call me."
"So it's like this?" Seeing Lu Weiwei's cute look, Gu Chen also grinned:
"That's right, that's right, you can publish that report."
"Really?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Bai Xiaolan on the other end of the phone was overjoyed, and immediately asked Gu Chen:
"Gu Chen, in other words, your case has been closed?"
"Except that the police in Pengcheng are still closely chasing Zhu Zhiqiang who is at large, there is basically nothing else. It doesn't matter if you want to report it."
"But..." Bai Xiaolan hesitated for a few seconds, and said regretfully, "But for the follow-up situation, it's a pity that we don't have an interview video."
"We can give you the footage captured by the body-worn camera as a follow-up video of the interview." Before Bai Xiaolan could finish speaking, Gu Chen offered her a solution.
When Bai Xiaolan heard it, she was immediately excited: "Is it true? Then it would be great if this is the case. Mr. Wu has been feeling depressed about editing recently. I always feel that there is something missing?"
"After all, we didn't keep up with the follow-up interviews. Teacher Wu felt somewhat regretful."
"But if there are footage taken by the law enforcement recorder provided by you, then I think the effect of the report should be quite good."
"Then it's settled. I'll ask Senior Sister Lu to send it to you. Oh, by the way, you can also tell Jiang Xiaomi from Jiangnan Daily."
"Don't worry about that, I'll talk to her." Bai Xiaolan agreed quite readily.
The two exchanged a few simple greetings, then both hung up the phone.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei hurried over and asked, "How is it?"
"It's done." Gu Chen's answer was concise and to the point.
"Excellent." Lu Weiwei quickly put an unopened pack of potato chips on Gu Chen's table: "Your reward."
...
...
The time quickly came to 11:30 am.
Looking at the wall clock on the wall in the office, it will be lunch time in half an hour.
Many people have already finished their work, and have begun to enter the state of fishing and half fishing.
At this time, Gu Chen's phone on the table rang again.
After Gu Chen signed the document in his hand, he moved to the side and picked up the phone directly.
But when he saw that the phone was an unfamiliar number, he was stunned for two seconds, but he still chose to press the answer button:
"Hello, may I ask who you are?"
"Gu Chen, guess who I am?"
On the phone, it was the voice of a young man.
It seemed familiar, but Gu Chen didn't recognize who it was for a while?
So Gu Chen hurriedly said again: "Sorry, I didn't recognize who you are?"
"Ham, I knew that you, Mr. Gu Chen, forget things a lot. Let me remind you, we are in the same high school."
"Jiangnan No. 1 Middle School?" Gu Chen couldn't help but blurt out.
"That's right, we are classmates in the first year of high school, and I'm in the class next to yours in the second and third year of high school." The man on the phone reminded again.
Gu Chen froze for a few seconds...
In my memory, there are quite a few classmates in the same class in senior high school, and in the next class of senior high school and senior high school.
At that time, everyone was in the developmental stage, and many people's voices were still changing, and as they grew up, their voices were constantly changing.
Therefore, even though Gu Chen has master-level observation skills and master-level memory, it is indeed difficult for him to judge who the other party is when faced with this kind of alumni who has not been in contact with him for many years.
After thinking about it, Gu Chen still smiled and replied: "If you can't guess, you can give me another hint."
"The press corps."
"Hu Jianan?"
When the man on the phone just said the word "reporter corps", Gu Chen blurted out reflexively.
At this moment, there was a burst of "hehe" laughter from the other end of the phone, and Hu Jianan also laughed jokingly:
"I said Gu Chen, do you finally remember who I am? My buddies have been disconnected from you for many years. No, it's a teacher from my alma mater who found out about your current situation."
"If we hadn't been in the school's press corps back then, you probably would have forgotten about me, right?"
"How could it be?" Hearing that it was Hu Jianan from the reporter group back then, Gu Chen also smiled jokingly: "I mean, this voice sounds familiar, but I'm not sure."
"Your voice now seems a little different from before."
"It was still in the stage of voice change at that time, so it's normal if you can't hear it." Hu Jianan didn't seem to mind either.
Gu Chen thought for a while, and quickly asked again: "By the way, Hu Jianan, you suddenly called me, did you want to catch up with me? Or something else?"
After all, if a classmate who hasn't contacted you for many years suddenly contacts you, many people will naturally think of borrowing money.
But Gu Chen is very clear that Hu Jianan is not such a person.
Hu Jianan's family is well-off, his parents are in business, and they run several clothing stores in Jiangnan City.
Gu Chen even passed the shop of Hu Jianan's family on one night shift, and the business was so good.
It would not be so bad to say that it went bankrupt, and it is estimated that the possibility of reminiscing about the old days will be higher.
Hu Jianan also laughed dryly, and talked eloquently: "Of course I want to catch up with you. This Sunday, come to Yubei Town, and I will treat you to dinner."
"Go to your hometown for dinner?" Gu Chen expressed his curiosity, and quickly asked, "If you invite me to dinner, any restaurant in Jiangnan City will do, so you don't have to travel so far, right?"
"It's different." Seeing that Gu Chen still didn't understand, Hu Jianan also said bluntly: "Let me tell you, my buddy is getting married, this Sunday, I will hold a banquet at my hometown in Yubei Town, I hope my brother will show respect , come and get together."
"Are you getting married?" Upon hearing that it was a happy event, Gu Chen also congratulated and said, "Then congratulations. If so, then I will definitely come over on Sunday."
Gu Chen knew that he had a day off on Sunday and also happened to meet his good brother getting married, and felt that the time was just right, so he readily agreed.
Upon hearing Gu Chen's promise, Hu Jianan also smiled and said, "It's fine if you say so, and I'll send you the address later. This is a very important day for brother, you, Gu Chen, must come to show respect."
"That's for sure." Gu Chen also smiled lightly, and hurriedly asked Hu Jianan: "By the way, I still don't know who your wife is? Where is she from? Do I know her?"
"You? Of course you know." Hu Jianan also responded readily.
"Oh?" Gu Chen said "oh", but also thoughtfully: "I know you? Could it be that your wife is from our school?"
"Well, that's necessary. My wife is my first love. I have always been single-minded, so marriage must be my first love, right?" Hu Jianan said.
When Gu Chen heard the words, he also happily replied: "First love? That's good. Now there are only a handful of people who can get together with first love. You are so dedicated..."
But halfway through the conversation, Gu Chen suddenly felt something was wrong? Immediately said:
"Hey, wait a minute, your first love? I remember... you told me that the English teacher in your class, that is, Liu Shiyin, who just graduated from the Normal University, looks like a first love. The face is the type you like, could it be that..."
Think about it, do you feel like you are thinking too much? Gu Chen quickly denied himself again: "No, maybe I made a mistake."
"Gu Chen." Seeing Gu Chen struggling here, Hu Jianan on the phone also smiled teasingly:
"You have to know that it is every life's dream to marry the girl you love."
"If a boy told you that he was going to marry the girl in his graduation photo that year, what would you think of?"
"The friendship of classmates? The purity of first love?" Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: "Or... the sweetness of love?"
"Haha." Hu Jianan on the phone was almost amused by Gu Chen, and said involuntarily:
"Gu Chen, you are so funny, but if I told you that this boy married not his classmate, but his teacher back then, what would you think of?"
"No...it's not." When Gu Chen heard this, he was instantly stunned.
It took a long time to recover, and he asked weakly: "Hu Jianan, by the way, isn't your wife really Liu Shiyin, the teacher who taught you English back then?"
As soon as the words fell, Gu Chen heard Hu Jianan laughing wildly on the phone.
Gu Chen felt that he was almost confused by this guy, and he said angrily: "I said Hu Jianan, what are you doing? Who is your wife? Who is your first love? Are you kidding me?" I play?"
"Haha, I said Gu Chen, don't get excited, buddy is not teasing you." Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Hu Jianan also suppressed his laughter, and then seriously replied:
"I'm talking about Gu Chen. In fact, our boys' youth dreams often happen when they are in high school or college."
"Which female classmate is so gentle, which female teacher is very beautiful, etc., it's all like this."
"And didn't I tell you before? My English grades are good because the English teacher is good-looking."
"When I attend her class, I always listen very carefully. At that time, I boldly shared with you that if I could marry this beautiful female teacher in the future, it would be such a happy thing. "
"So... so? Is your wife really an English teacher Liu Shiyin?" Gu Chen felt a little unbelievable, and even felt that Hu Jianan's guts were too fat, right?
