Before Xie Youzhou could open his mouth to answer Dr. Hao, he saw a ward door in the distance suddenly creak open and Cao Chengfei walked out.
He held the door handle with one hand, half of his body turned sideways towards the ward, and said, “If you need anything, just call me. I’m always willing to help you, Zhiyu. I think you need at least…!”
As Cao Chengfei was speaking, he was startled and looked at the tall black shadow that suddenly appeared behind him.
“Who are you……?”
This person has bad intentions!
Lying on the hospital bed, Lin Zhiyu was just about to give a perfunctory smile when he saw someone suddenly appear at the door and was stunned.
This kid…why is he here?!
Looking at Xie Youzhou who suddenly appeared, Lin Zhiyu was a little dazed.
This younger gege seemed to symbolize his peaceful and happy years, those simple, fulfilling days without nightmares and hatred.
Since the incident with the Lin family, the few months of torture and abuse seem short, but every day, every minute and every second feels like ages. When I see my friend from before the incident again, it feels strange, as if we were separated for several lifetimes.
“Xiao…Yu?”
Lin Zhiyu spoke hesitantly.
These two simple and gentle words were like the most powerful sedative in the world, or the gentlest breeze, which instantly calmed the angry Xie Youzhou.
He no longer cared about the frivolous and disgusting man in front of him and strode into the ward. However, when he finally saw the person, he had been dreaming about for decades, he couldn’t help but tremble.
“Gege……”
His gege is still here…
“Why are you crying?”
Lin Zhiyu looked at the handsome and tall boy with red eyes, and after being stunned for a while, he couldn’t help laughing. This kid…
“There’s nothing to cry about. Look, gege is fine now. It looks scary, but it’s just a flesh wound…”
Before he could say another word, Lin Zhiyu was stunned as he saw Xie Youzhou, who had come to his bed in the blink of an eye, half-knelt down with a pair of long legs, and completely covered his hand with a pair of slender, strong and calloused hands. “You…”
“Ge, Ge, I’m back. You won’t be bullied anymore. I will never…never let those people bully you again.”
Xie Youzhou didn’t notice that his eyes were filled with tears uncontrollably. He only knew that it seemed as if something was about to burst out of his body, his chest, and every vessel.
He once had endless regrets and had endured so many years of dead silence and bitter hatred, that he could only see a lonely grave… Even after he made the Ruan family pay, there was still no relief. But at this moment, he finally got a glimmer of salvation.
“Gege……”
“You protected me before, now I will protect you, I will protect you!”
Xie Youzhou tried his best to suppress his trembling, fearing that all this was just a dream after his death. He pressed Lin Zhiyu’s hand against his heart, wrapping it completely with his big palm. His intense heartbeat pounded against his chest with Xie Youzhou’s every breath.
He didn’t dare to make too many movements, but he couldn’t control himself.
Lin Zhiyu stared at Xie Youzhou in a daze. The heartbeat under his palm was so intense that it seemed to be able to burst out of Xie Youzhou’s chest and pierce his hand. The temperature on his hand was also too hot, which made him speechless for a moment.
This child, why is he a little different from before?
Is it because he feels sorry for him?
Yes, ever since he saved this child, this little gege has been particularly grateful to him for the past ten years. After entering the military academy, he always comes to see him during every holiday. He probably really treats him as his gege.
if–
The people in the Ruan family are even one-tenth as good as this child. How could the Zhao family and his family end up in such a miserable situation?
“Okay, you will protect me.”
Lin Zhiyu gently pulled his hand away, not noticing the flash of disappointment on Xie Youzhou’s face. When he saw that he could pull his hand away, he gently patted Xie Youzhou’s head.
“Have you completed the mission?”
“It’s done, and I won’t take on any more missions in the future.” Xie Youzhou said and suddenly glanced at the person at the door. He saw that Cao Chengfei at the door not only did not hide but looked at Xie Youzhou meaningfully and smiled.
“It turned out to be a child.”
Then he immediately closed the door and left.
Xie Youzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.
But when he thought that he was in front of his gege, he immediately suppressed his emotions and looked at Lin Zhiyu like a teenager.
“Gege, he is not a good person, ignore him.”
Just because he said you’re a child, he’s not a good person?
He’s still a child after all.
Seeing Xie Youzhou like this, Lin Zhiyu, who had been reborn, actually felt a rare sense of relief, as if he had returned to the old days.
“Why won’t you take on missions anymore? Are you changing your job? Or are you retiring?”
In Lin Zhiyu’s eyes, Xie Youzhou was just a child from an ordinary family, but he was gifted and able to endure hardships. He took the college entrance examination at the age of fifteen and scored very high, but because he loved the army, he chose a military school. In just two years, he has achieved results that others could not match, so he was entrusted with important tasks.
Especially in the past year, it was considered great if he could come back once every six months. He was so busy. He didn’t know the specific content of the tasks, but it must be very challenging.
“It’s fine, I won’t do it anyway.”
In his previous life, he was sent to attend the Ruan family banquet by his mother just after he finished a mission near Country M. After the banquet, he was immediately assigned another mission to go to the Golden Triangle. During this time, his private mobile phone was seized and he couldn’t get it back, which led to him not noticing that something had happened to the Lin family.
By the time he rushed back from the Golden Triangle, it was four months later. Everything, everything was too late…
Lin Zhiyu didn’t notice the redness in Xie Youzhou’s eyes and frowned slightly: “Why, you have already achieved success, and have many military merits that others in their twenties can hardly have. You have a bright future; how can you give up halfway?”
This familiar way of talking…
It has been many years since he last heard his Ge’s nagging.
Xie Youzhou looked at Lin Zhiyu greedily, eagerly listening to every word of Lin Zhiyu, his eyes were burning, and he almost lost consciousness…
Lin Zhiyu looked at Xie Youzhou who was distracted and felt a little angry.
“Did you listen to me carefully?”
“Yes, I’m listening!” Xie Youzhou said hurriedly.
The man who had made all the evil forces in the world tremble in fear in his previous life seemed as obedient as a little wolfhound at this moment.
“Why don’t you want to continue?”
“Because…” In less than a second, Xie Youzhou thought of the best answer.
His eyes showed sadness and helplessness, as well as strong self-blame. He lowered his head and said, “Because in the last mission, two of my comrades-in-arms…died.”
In fact, under his command and direction, there was not even a single injury.
Sure enough, when Lin Zhiyu heard this, he could no longer utter a word of blame. Instead, he put his hand on Xie Youzhou’s shoulder with heartache.
He no longer asked whether Xie Youzhou was too sad to recall the past or was afraid of losing his life in danger. He only asked: “Have you told your leader?”
“I have.” After his rebirth, the first thing he did was to send people to rescue his gege, and the second thing he did was to resign.
I cannot bear being out of contact for several months. In his previous life, when he came back, he was faced with his Ge who had been tortured into a skeleton, without arms and legs, with his eyes gouged out, his face burned, and stuffed into a vase as a freak show until he breathed his last!
I will never…
I will never tolerate being forced to stand by and watch.
“Well, you are ready…” Lin Zhiyu paused, unable to hide his worry: “What are you planning?”
Xie Youzhou looked at Lin Zhiyu’s worried eyes, and it seemed as if warmth was flowing in his every vessel. The warmth was so sweet and overwhelming that it blurred his vision.
He knew that his gege was worried about him. After all, on the surface he was just a child from an ordinary family…even worse than the children from ordinary families. He could only see his parents a few times a year.
If he had come back earlier in his previous life, would he and his gege have been able to spend many more years…many more years together like this…
He can still have his gege’s care for many years.
“I’ve not planned anything yet because I just resigned, but don’t worry gege, I can support myself.”
“That’s good.” Lin Zhiyu smiled, but just as he was about to say something, there was a knock on the door.
It was Doctor Hao’s voice: “It’s almost noon. Let the patient rest and come back tomorrow.”
Although Xie Youzhou didn’t want to leave, he hoped that his gege would recover quickly.
His black hair fell in front of his deep blue eyes, his eyes were moist, and he hesitated: “Gege, then I… will come to see you tomorrow, you have a good rest.”
“Well, but you should focus on your things first. You don’t have to come tomorrow.” Lin Zhiyu said very honestly.
But it made Xie Youzhou feel sad.
My gege doesn’t get my feelings at all.
“Okay.” Xie Youzhou agreed calmly, then walked out, looking back every few steps. As soon as he went out, he whispered a phone call to have someone send a camp bed over.
He slept in the corridor.
However, Xie Youzhou hardly slept a wink that night. He leaned against the wall that separated him from his gege, and he felt better rested than any number of hours of sleep.
By daybreak, Xie Youzhou had almost found all the evidence of slander against Lin Zhiyu and the Lin family.
These cases, which have only been investigated partially under the supervision of the Jiang family, are not worth mentioning at all in Xie Youzhou’s hands.
After all, he had personally turned all of these over thoroughly in his previous life!
To overthrow the Ruan family, which has gradually dominated the world, Xie Youzhou not only founded the Nianzhi Group to disintegrate the Ruan family from a commercial angle but also especially learned hacking just to dig out evidence of the Ruan family’s crimes!
Before he died in his previous life, it could be said that there was no hacker with better skills than him.
**
It’s seven o’clock and the sky is bright.
Jiang Weihua received a call from the hospital leader, who expressed very tactfully but firmly that public opinion was too strong and they had to arrange for Lin Zhiyu to be discharged from the hospital at noon today. However, he also learned that Lin Zhiyu was the Jiang family’s savior and now had the Jiang family’s protection, so he hoped that the Jiang family could understand.
Of course, Jiang Weihua would not agree to this. They were just a bunch of troublemakers, and he couldn’t let the hospital leaders make such a decision.
There must be someone behind this!
Jiang Weihua rushed to the ward as quickly as possible, wanting to discuss the situation with Lin Zhiyu, but he saw a handsome and imposing young man already standing in the ward.
Jiang Weihua was stunned when he saw the boy’s face.
Isn’t he China’s youngest general, General Xie…Xie Youzhou? ! !
He is rarely seen in public; why is he here?
