Chapter 105: Each Other's Spiritual Tree!

~8 min read 1,486 words

Tang Ye gave Wan Ming a look.

The two went downstairs to a secluded spot.

Tang Ye offered a cigarette.

Wan Ming tacitly pulled out a lighter.

A faint blue flame suddenly shot up, and the smell of tar permeated the nasal cavity.

"Found out who it is, and it's an old acquaintance..."

"Who? Hurry up and say it, stop keeping me in suspense!"

"Hmph! That bastard Huo Jiansheng! I've long found him an eyesore. It's just that he's been keeping a low profile lately, so I haven't found any dirt on him. Heh, sure enough, a dog can't change its habit of eating excrement; he kept quiet for a few months and now his skin is starting to itch again."

Tang Ye knew that after Wan Ming became Deputy Bureau Chief, he had been secretly investigating Huo Jiansheng, and he must have held plenty of evidence of Huo Jiansheng's illegal and undisciplined activities in his hands.

Although Huo Jiansheng had tripped Tang Ye up during the demolition in Pinghu Town.

Tang Ye did not have the intention of driving Huo Jiansheng to his death.

Now the situation is different!

Huo Jiansheng actually laid a hand on Tang Yu.

The hatred of insulting one's father is irreconcilable!

At this moment, Tang Ye was instead terrifyingly calm!

"Huo Jiansheng has deep roots in Tianling County and also has connections in the city; if we want to move against him, we must plan carefully."

"Can't wait at all. I'm a person who can't tolerate sand in my eyes!"

Wan Ming crushed the half-smoked cigarette with his foot!

"Old Wan, don't let your plans be delayed because of me."

"I am a person who never engages in malpractice for selfish ends; how could I possibly do something like settling a private grudge under the guise of public duty?"

Looking at Wan Ming's righteous appearance.

Tang Ye couldn't help but laugh!

After Wan Ming left.

Tang Ye returned to the ward; the visitors had already left, and Cheng Lin was still chatting with Qin Lan.

Tang Ye called Cheng Lin outside the room.

"Sister Lin, sorry to trouble you tonight. Thank you for staying with me all this time. Having you by my side, I feel warm inside."

Cheng Lin was silently looking after him, so Tang Ye had to provide the emotional value to the right degree.

"Don't be so polite between us. You've helped me a lot. Rest assured, I will find a way; I won't let your father suffer any grievances." Cheng Lin didn't expect that the usually carefree Tang Ye would show such a sentimental side today.

"Sigh, I only hate that I don't have any ability, and can't even protect my own family." In front of Cheng Lin, Tang Ye subconsciously struck a pose of the weak.

In Cheng Lin's heart, Tang Ye's image had always been that of a sensible and warm younger brother.

Tang Ye felt his eyes stinging and subconsciously rubbed them.

In Cheng Lin's eyes, she mistook it for Tang Ye actually shedding tears of sorrow.

A man does not easily shed tears, it is just that he has not yet reached the point of heartbreak.

Back when Tang Ye saved Hong Ruilin, he was so severely injured, yet he could still treat it optimistically.

It can only be said that his parents are Tang Ye's vulnerable spot.

Compassion ignited in Cheng Lin's heart, and she could not restrain herself.

She actually took a small step forward.

She gently hugged Tang Ye, pressed her face tightly against his chest, and sincerely encouraged him, "Justice resides in the hearts of the people. You must believe that evil can never defeat righteousness."

Tang Ye was caught off guard by Cheng Lin's hug, reflecting on himself—was he providing too much emotional value!

All along, the communication between Tang Ye and Cheng Lin had been more on a spiritual level.

Tang Ye had talent but no opportunity.

Cheng Lin had an unhappy marriage.

Therefore, they warmed each other and became each other's spiritual tree.

Tang Ye always told himself.

He could not cross that warning line.

As for Cheng Lin, she also paid attention to propriety.

For a woman, matters of conduct concern not only work but also the eyes of others.

Cheng Lin always kept her status in mind.

But at this moment, Cheng Lin felt that she must take practical action to give Tang Ye encouragement and comfort...

Until the hands Tang Ye had loosely placed on her shoulders fell away.

Cheng Lin vigilantly pushed Tang Ye away.

This was the hospital corridor; although it was very late, surveillance cameras were installed everywhere. If someone saw them and captured it to use as leverage, the future troubles would be endless.

"I... I'll go first. I'll come to visit Uncle another day."

"Mm, it's too late. I'll see you to the entrance to catch a taxi."

"No need. You should look after Uncle and Auntie well." Cheng Lin smiled at Tang Ye, waved her hand, and walked toward the elevator.

Until the figure disappeared.

A lingering scent still drifted back and forth in his nasal cavity.

Tang Ye felt more guilt than anything else.

Cheng Lin seemed to be sinking deeper and deeper.

Should he consider stopping the provision of emotional value to her?

Tang Ye turned around slowly.

Qin Lan stood not far away, watching him in a thought-provoking manner.

Tang Ye looked slightly embarrassed.

He wondered if his mother had seen that scene just now...

"Why did you come out?"

"I thought I shouldn't be lacking in courtesy... Cheng... how did your leader come with you?"

Tang Ye told the truth, "I did a favor for her friend. She invited me to dinner today. Hearing that Dad was injured, she followed me here."

Qin Lan stopped at the point, "Regarding matters of the heart, you must be mindful of boundaries."

"Mom, don't worry, I won't do anything to disgrace the family! Our family has been clean for three generations, and it will absolutely not be ruined in my hands."

Facing Tang Ye's initiation of his nonsense mode.

Qin Lan had no heart to pay attention at this moment.

Her brows remained tightly locked, and after hesitating again and again, she still asked the question that had been weighing on her heart.

"That man surnamed Wan, what does he do for a living? He looks big and burly, and his voice is like a clanging gong; it's very frightening.

You must not get involved in dealings with bad people because of your father!"

Qin Lan was worried that Tang Ye would get entangled with underworld figures.

Tang Ye couldn't help but laugh.

"I forgot to introduce Wan Ming to you. He is the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau of Tianling County."

Qin Lan was stunned!

"He looks so fierce and menacing, yet he is actually a Police officer!"

"He is a good Police officer. Don't be misled by the image of Police in TV dramas. Police are not models. In reality, Police have to be fiercer than the bad guys so they can deter the wicked!"

Huo Jiansheng returned home, but he felt uneasy.

His wife drew hot water for him.

Huo Jiansheng took a bath and finally felt refreshed, washing away the bad luck of the day.

Huo Jiansheng sat on the sofa, and his wife brought over a plate of fruit, saying softly, "You were too impulsive today! Director Tang is a top surgical Expert at the City People's Hospital. In order to get treatment for your father, I spent a lot of energy and asked many people to pull strings."

Huo Jiansheng sneered, "A dog like that who thinks too highly of himself just needs to be taught a lesson. To get him to treat Dad, we didn't spend little money. He took the money and actually dared to make excuses; me beating him was letting him off easy! I hit him, so what can he do to me? He took my money, does he dare to make a peep? He's afraid I'll blow things up and smash his rice bowl!"

His wife gave a bitter smile at this moment and whispered, "When I processed the transfer procedures for Dad, there was an extra ten thousand yuan on the card; he didn't accept the red envelope."

Huo Jiansheng was slightly taken aback and said in confusion, "Stinking trash! His guts are as small as a mouse's; he must have been afraid I'd cause him trouble and spat the money back out."

His wife quickly added, "The money was returned to the card several days ago."

Huo Jiansheng sneered sinisterly, "Hypocrite! Pretending to be noble!"

At this moment, his cell phone rang.

"President Huo, it's a disaster! A group of Police just arrived and raided all of our casinos and clubs!

You need to think of a way quickly..."
