Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-Four

Lu Huaicheng personally sent a shipborne helicopter to pick up Zheng Yuanhai from the sea, and told him the unfortunate news that Zheng Xiuzhu suffered severe head injuries in a car accident and was likely to become a vegetable. In the ward, Zheng Xiuzhu was lying on the hospital bed with a peaceful expression. Xu Xinfang walked to the bed with a bowl of chicken soup: "Son, take a sip, take a sip, okay, mom stewed the chicken soup for three hours..." Zheng Xiuzhu didn't feel it, and the chicken soup flowed down the corner of his mouth. Qin Siting persuaded: "Auntie, she is still in a coma and cannot drink." Reaching out to catch the bowl in her hand, Xu Xinfang dodged and cried: "No, my daughter is fine, she is fine..."

"Auntie, calm down!" Xu Xinfang cried bitterly: "It was fine when I went out yesterday, how did it become like this? Child, did you hear your mother calling you? Wake up quickly! Xiuzhu, did you hear your mother calling you? Xiuzhu ..." The door opened, and Lu Huaicheng and Zheng Yuanhai walked in... "Yuanhai, you're back..." Xu Xinfang hugged her son tightly and cried bitterly. Two days later, a helicopter stopped at the pier, and Qin Siting came to take Zheng Yuanhai back to the warship. Zheng Yuanhai hesitated for a moment and said: "Si Ting, I can't throw my warship at sea, I... haven't found Mei Xing'er, so I ask you to take care of my sister first."

"Don't worry about things at home, go at ease!" Zheng Yuanhai nodded, walked towards the helicopter, came to the door of the cabin, turned around and said, "Si Ting, thank you!" Qin Siting smiled: "We are good friends." The helicopter roared and took off, gradually disappearing into the distant blue sky. Qin Siting turned around slowly, and was surprised to see Mei Xing'er standing in front of her: "Mei Xing'er?" Mei Xing'er said with a heavy heart, "Sister Si Ting, shall we go for a walk?" The two walked quietly on the pier, Qin Siting finally couldn't help asking: "Mei Xing'er, there seems to be something wrong with you?"

"I……" "If you have something on your mind, just say it?" "I don't know what to tell you..." Qin Siting smiled: "We have been good friends for such a long time, what else can we not say?" "I hope you and Brother Zheng..." Qin Siting stopped in her tracks and looked at her with strange eyes, Mei Xing'er murmured: "He is very good, I know you like him in your heart, you... can you..." Qin Siting didn't expect that Mei Xing'er would say such words to her, and said flatly: "This is impossible, I have already regarded Yuan Hai as my best friend in my heart, a good friend who does not exceed the boundaries of friendship. Mei Xing'er, I don't understand you What do you mean by that?"

Mei Xing'er said for a long time: "Sister Si Ting, you don't have to lie to me, I know every time you use wine to relieve your worries and get yourself drunk. And your piano sound, tell me all the pain in your heart gone." "Stop talking about it." Qin Siting said, "Mei Xing'er, you are talking about the past, now Yuan Hai and I are completely impossible." Mei Xing'er looked at her with eyes full of resentment: "Sister Si Ting, can you promise me to take care of him?" Qin Siting sneered: "Mei Xing'er, you are not going to tell me that you are leaving him again, are you?"

Mei Xing'er nodded slightly. Qin Siting asked: "Tell me, did you leave Yuan Hai's sister because he was injured?" "Miss Si Ting..." Qin Siting became anxious and shouted: "Say it! Are you afraid of being dragged down?" Mei Xing'er was silent for a while, and finally nodded. Qin Siting looked at her in surprise, and shook her head lightly for a while: "Mei Xing'er, you have changed, you are no longer the gentle and lovely girl you used to be." "Sister Si Ting, I... really want to marry Yu Jidong this time!" Mei Xing'er bowed her head deeply.

Qin Siting looked at her in astonishment. Under the soft light of a coffee shop, Lin Xue looked at Yu Jidong, her eyes were full of nostalgia and desolation. "Ji Dong, you've lost weight." Yu Jidong smiled: "Do you have anything to do with me?" Lin Xue sighed and said, "Today... I came to say goodbye to you." "Farewell? Where are you going?" "I don't know either. The farther you can go, the better. I'll leave when the passport comes out." Lin Xue said calmly. Yu Jidong looked at her in surprise, nodded for a while and said: "It's good to go out, go out for a walk, see the world, it's good for business people like us."

Lin Xue smiled bitterly: "I've thought you would say that a long time ago." She turned her head to one side, tears streaming down her face. Yu Jidong bowed his head in silence for a while, then raised his head and said, "Lin Xue, what happened before... was my fault, don't take it to heart." Lin Xue controlled her emotions, stood up and said: "It's nothing, there is nothing in this city worthy of my nostalgia, goodbye!" Then she stretched out her hand. Yu Jidong just stretched out his hand when he got up, but Lin Xue suddenly threw himself into his arms.

Yu Jidong said in a panic, "Lin Xue, don't...don't do this." Lin Xue let go of him for a while and said, "I'm leaving." Yu Jidong watched her back disappearing outside the coffee shop with complicated emotions. More than ten days later, the 588 ship finally returned to the military port after completing its mission. Zheng Yuanhai went to see his sister in the hospital, and Xu Xinfang told him that during the time since he left, Mei Xing'er only visited Xiuzhu once, and she was very preoccupied, so she left in a hurry without saying a few words , never showed his face again, and told him his worries.Zheng Yuanhai searched for Mei Xinger but failed, feeling depressed, he came to the beach alone, and heard the sound of a violin from a distance. It was the masterpiece "Remembering Hometown" by Czech composer Dvořák, which was originally a symphony. Because it strongly expressed the theme of missing my hometown and relatives, it was later changed into a song by someone writing lyrics.

After Qin Siting finished playing the piano, she turned around and saw Zheng Yuanhai standing beside her. "Are you homesick?" Zheng Yuanhai asked. "You are the only bosom friend in the entire Dongjiang base." Qin Siting said, "Yes, I miss home, my parents, and the days when I was with them." Zheng Yuanhai said: "I heard you play this song when I was in the Marine Corps." Qin Siting nodded: "Originally, I should have returned to them after I served in the army for a few years. They always hoped that I could achieve something in music and wanted me to apply for the conservatory of music, but because I met you, my fate changed. "

Zheng Yuanhai didn't know what to say for a while. Qin Siting paused for a while and then said: "Stop talking about this, let's go!" The two walked along the beach. "Yuan Hai, you are a perfect man in my heart. I hope that no matter what blows you encounter in the future, you will be able to face it with strength." He stopped and looked at him and said, "You are the captain, and the burden on your shoulders is heavy. , there is something I should let you know, because you can't hide it. Whether it's painful or sad, I hope it will be like a storm, no matter how violent it comes, it will pass quickly, with the sunshine after rain. Mood, to face the future life." Zheng Yuanhai said calmly: "I have felt it a long time ago, just tell me!" "Mei Xing'er and Yu Jidong are really going to get married this time." Although I already had an intuition, even though I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't help but feel a tearing pain in my heart.The expression on Zheng Yuanhai's face was still calm, but the corner of his mouth inadvertently moved slightly, as if he was smiling, but also seemed to be indifferent.This subtle change did not escape Qin Siting's eyes, she knew it was the bitterness in his heart. Zheng Yuanhai returned home, lying on the sofa staring blankly at the ceiling in a daze, Xu Xinfang came out of the room and saw him looking at him lovingly, and asked, "I'm not feeling well, are you?" Zheng Yuanhai forced a smile. Xu Xinfang said with a firm expression: "Mom has wanted to talk to you a long time ago, son, you don't need Mom to teach you how to be strong when you grow up. Mom also believes that you are a soldier and you can overcome any difficulties. You must not I blame Mei Xing'er, your sister may only lie quietly on the bed for the rest of her life, and she is destined to drag you down. Everyone has to think about this matter, let alone others quit, even if we do, we have to I advise people to think about it. If Xiuzhu was your own sister, it would be okay, but just because she is not your own sister, you have to fulfill the responsibility of being a brother. Mom will leave this world sooner or later. When Mom is gone, You have to let your sister live no matter what..." Zheng Yuanhai looked at the haggard mother with mixed feelings: "Mom, don't worry, I will never get married in this life, take care of my sister, take care of her for the rest of my life." Xu Xinfang watched her son's tears flow down her cheeks, Zheng Yuanhai helped her wipe away the tears: "Mom, don't cry." "Mom won't cry today." Xu Xinfang's face was full of anticipation, "Mom always has a dream, dreaming that your sister wakes up. I think as long as she still has breath, she might wake up someday. You promise Mom, When I leave, I will definitely treat your sister kindly..." Zheng Yuanhai suppressed his tears and nodded. After Mei Degui was discharged from the hospital, Yu Jidong forcibly took him back to live in his villa at home without any explanation.Ever since Zheng Xiuzhu had a car accident, Mei Degui has been tormented by guilt all day long, often awakened by nightmares in his sleep.If it wasn't for him not refusing to admit Mei Xing'er's identity, maybe Zheng Xiuzhu would not have such a big incident.Thinking forward, if he hadn't taken Mei Xing'er away back then, the Zheng family would not have suffered these decades of suffering.The more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Zheng Xiuzhu, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt ashamed of Zheng's family. The next day, Mei Degui came to the Dongjiang Base Hospital with anxiety. Seeing a stranger enter the ward, Xu Xinfang stood up and asked, "Are you..." "I... am Mei Xing'er's father..." "Oh, come on, sit down!" Xu Xinfang moved a stool for him. "I... come to see your daughter." "Thank you!" Mei Degui looked at Zheng Xiuzhu who was pale and unconscious on the bed, his strong self-blame made him feel ashamed, and he couldn't help but repent in his heart, son, I blame the uncle for being bad, I will tell you that day, maybe this will not happen ... "Uncle, is Mei Xing'er okay?" Xu Xinfang asked. Mei Degui came back to his senses: "Ah! It's okay!" He tentatively said, "His aunt, I want to tell you something..." His conscience had already been condemned, and he felt that he could no longer take After concealing the truth, he should tell her about Mei Xing'er's identity, so he stammered, "It's Mei Xing'er...she..." Xu Xinfang interrupted him and said, "Uncle, don't talk about it, we can understand, Yuan Hai and I have talked about it, even if Mei Xinger is willing, we have to think about it, we can't drag her down for the rest of my life..." Seeing that Xu Xinfang had misunderstood her meaning, Mei Degui said again: "Actually, Mei Xing'er was young..." "His uncle, don't talk about it. I know that Mei Xing'er was a child without a mother. It's not easy for you to raise her. Then again, we are all parents. Who doesn't hope for the well-being of their children?" !" "Ah... yes! Yes!" Mei Degui really didn't have the courage to continue, he shook his head lightly and stood up, "I'd better go!" "Thank you for coming to see Xiuzhu. Go back and tell Mei Xing'er that Yuan Hai and I can understand her, and tell her not to think otherwise." Mei Degui nodded mechanically: "Hey! Hey..." He hesitated again when he walked to the door, but finally he couldn't speak his mind, turned and left. Coming out of the base hospital, Mei Degui came to the beach alone, suddenly knelt down on the beach, cried and said, "Miss Xiuzhu, I'm the one who hurt you, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for everyone. Mei Xing'er is The person you are looking for, but I don't have the courage to say it! I'm not human, I'm not human, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for everyone..." He raised his hand and slapped himself on the face. After Mei Degui left, Xu Xinfang looked at her unconscious daughter on the hospital bed, and thought of her son's marriage, she couldn't help feeling sad, and she couldn't stop crying. Zheng Yuanhai pushed the door open and came in, seeing his mother crying, he said in surprise: "Mom, why are you crying again?" Xu Xinfang wiped away her tears: "Son, Mei Xinger's father came here just now. I told him not to put pressure on Mei Xinger, she was right to do so." "Mom, don't be sad, I can think about it, I'll stay here with my sister for a while, you go home first!" Xu Xinfang nodded, took out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it to Zheng Yuanhai: "I wrapped a red envelope for Mei Xing'er, you tell her, our whole family sincerely bless her." After his mother left, Zheng Yuanhai looked at Zheng Xiuzhu on the hospital bed, and whispered in her ear: "Little sister, the doctor said you won't wake up, tell me, can you really wake up? My brother was not sensible since I was a child, and I always fought with you. At that time, I always felt that you were not my real sister. Later, when I was admitted to university and left, you cried harder than my mother. My school fees, clothing, You earned it from your part-time job. When I was a soldier, you sent me one way after another. At that time, I thought, when I work and have money, I must repay you well. I regret it now , I regret not having a chance..." With tears in my eyes, I said after a while, "Little sister, don't worry, my mother and I will accompany you. In the future, when my mother is gone, I will accompany you until I am gone." So far..." There were tears in Zheng Yuanhai's eyes. Some people say that the 21st century is an era of great economic development, but also an era of great crises.With the rapid economic development of various countries, the dependence on energy and transportation is becoming more and more obvious. The exploration of seabed energy and the opening of sea transportation channels have become the focus of a new round of competition among countries.With the prominence of the status of the ocean, the competition for the rights and interests of the ocean has also entered a fierce stage. In the conference room of the base, Chief of Staff Liu Tiegang explained to the sea chart with a serious expression: "It has been preliminarily proven that there are rich oil and natural gas resources under the No. 5, No. 6 and No. 7 sea areas. The reason for the sudden claim of partial sovereignty to the above-mentioned waters that have always been our territorial waters is that unknown submarines often sneak to the edge of our territorial waters, and sometimes even cross our territorial waters. In addition to military purposes, there are also economic and political motives. We doubt Its submarines are equipped with marine survey equipment to conduct hydrological, submarine geology, and landform analysis and detection of the above-mentioned sea areas.” Chen Jianjun, Zheng Yuanhai, Nankejiang and other captains sat under the stage, all of them looked dignified and deeply felt the heavy responsibility. Lu Huaicheng stood up and said: "Maintaining the rights and interests of the sea and defending the security of the territorial waters are the unshirkable responsibility of our military. The headquarters ordered us to step up patrols in the above-mentioned waters. Once we find a submarine in the country, we will use all means to force it to float up. Evidence, and strive to gain the upper hand in diplomacy! The code name of this operation is 'Operation Shark Hunt'!" In the following days, although the warships and submarines at the Dongjiang base were normally protecting fishing, escorting, and conducting training in the waters of No. 5, No. 6, and No. 7 as usual, they had already laid a net and waited for the "shark" to take the bait. The captains of all the ships are also full of energy, and they want to show their skills in the "Shark Hunting Operation". That night, Zheng Yuanhai couldn't fall asleep for a long time, so he came to the deck alone, staring at the dark sea in a daze. Political Commissar Li came over and patted him on the shoulder.Zheng Yuanhai asked: "Commissar, are you still awake?" Political Commissar Li said: "I know you are under a lot of psychological pressure right now, so don't think too much about it. After you finish this mission, report to me and take a vacation?" Zheng Yuanhai shook his head: "No need, many cadres on the ship are not on vacation yet!" "Isn't there a special situation in your family?" Political Commissar Li continued, "Why don't you stop living on the ship after it returns to Hong Kong, and take care of your family more!" Zheng Yuanhai looked at him gratefully: "Political Commissar, do you know how much it costs to hire a nanny now?" Political Commissar Li thought for a while: "It is estimated that it will cost at least eight or nine hundred yuan a month?" "I plan to ask someone to take care of my mother and sister after I go back this time!" Political Commissar Li sighed: "Oh! Our soldiers' wages are really pitiful. We can live a normal life, but if there is a natural or man-made disaster, we can't take care of it." "There are so many people in the whole army! It's not just us." "People go home after eight hours of get off work, what about us? Board and live on the ship, 24-hour work system, should we get three times the salary?" Zheng Yuanhai smiled: "So you're not rich yet?" "Will you get rich with a higher salary? No pursuit." Political Commissar Li said again, "Okay, we will return to the voyage tomorrow, let's go back to the cabin early to rest!" Xu Xinfang walked down the street in a trance, suddenly with a painful expression on her face, she squatted on the ground clutching her stomach and vomited blood. In the distance, a wandering doctor shouted loudly: "Secret recipe handed down from the ancestors, it specializes in treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases, come and take a look..." Xu Xinfang wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and walked over with difficulty. "Sister, do you want to see a doctor?" You Yi said very enthusiastically, "I don't think I will charge any money. What general hospitals can't treat, my folk remedies can cure." "Can you really cure any disease?" Xu Xinfang asked. "Yes!" You Doctor said in a loud voice, his chest was pounding loudly, with the look of Hua Tuo reincarnated, he suddenly stared at her as if he had discovered something: "Eldest sister, you don't seem to be looking very well." "It's not me, it's my daughter. I want to ask if my daughter's illness can be cured?" "Tell me! What's wrong with your daughter?" "Vegetable." "It can be cured! It can be cured!" You Yi said casually, wondering if he heard her clearly. Xu Xinfang looked at him suspiciously: "Can you cure me if you understand what I said?" "It's a vegetable!" You Doctor's tone was as relaxed as a famous doctor treating a patient with a common cold. Xu Xinfang knelt down and asked, "How do you treat it?" "Use traditional Chinese medicine." Xu Xinfang shook her head: "She doesn't know how to take medicine." "I...I know that people in a vegetative state don't know how to take medicine, you...you pry open her mouth and feed her bit by bit!" You Yi even said with gestures. "What medicine do you take?" The traveling doctor pointed to the medicine on the medicine stand: "I'll make it for you! See it? This... this, these are all precious herbs that grow on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and they specialize in treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases." "Pay for the cure?" Xu Xinfang said. "Ah?" Xu Xinfang's words choked the doctor, and he paused for a while and said, "Why don't you give me less money, and go home and take some medicine by yourself!" She then explained, "I hang the pot to help the world and save the common people , how busy you are, so many patients are waiting for me to relieve the pain, I can't spend it on you all the time, can I?" Xu Xinfang sighed softly and got up to leave. "Hey, big sister." The doctor stopped her, "Let me tell you the truth! How can I treat a vegetative? Look at your face, you are not in good health, let me treat it for you?" "Is your medicine poisonous?" "As the saying goes, medicine is three-point poisonous, and it's a little bit, but don't worry, you'll be fine after taking it!" The doctor pointed at a bunch of dried flowers, "Except for this, it won't kill anyone." Xu Xinfang picked up the bunch of dried flowers: "What is this for?" "This?" The traveling doctor looked around and whispered, "It's called stuffing a flower, it's very poisonous. Most doctors dare not use it, and it's not used for common diseases. When you have a sore on your body, washing it will help. " "I want this, how much?" "Ah?" You Yi was stunned, and stammered, "You...you...why do you want it?" Xu Xinfang ignored him and handed over fifty yuan: "Is it enough?" You Doctor showed embarrassment: "Do you really want it?" "want!" The doctor hesitated to take the money: "Let me tell you, big sister, this is not allowed to be sold..." Xu Xinfang interrupted him: "Thank you!" She turned and left. Youyi shouted from behind: "Hey, don't enter it! Hey, don't tell anyone that you bought it from me!" Potion was boiling on the kerosene stove, and the fire reflected Xu Xinfang's weather-beaten face red. Xu Xinfang gave Zheng Xiuzhu the clothes she sewed by herself, buttoned her up and said, "Son, you have been calling me mom since you were five years old, but mom hasn't let you have a good life. Ever since your father put you When you get it back, you rush to do all the dirty work. After your father passed away, you became the pillar of the family. Your brother went to school and served in the army, and you silently supported the whole family. When you were young, you Girls who are about the same age wear new clothes for the New Year. Mom has no money to buy them for you, but you have never complained about Mom. Son, Mom is sorry for you... Today Mom sewed new clothes for you. Open your eyes and see, you It’s so beautiful to wear..." After a pause, she wept again and sobbed, "My child, Mom is going to take you away, and take you to another world...My child, don’t blame Mom, it’s not that Mom is cruel, The doctor said you can't wake up... Your brother is a soldier and has no time to take care of you. Mom is afraid that no one will take care of you after he leaves... Son, mom is worried about you. Mom will take you away. Mom will go over there to take care of you...Son , in the next life, mom will let you be my daughter, mom's own daughter, mom will treat you well..." Xu Xinfang burst into tears... The fire licked the bottom of the casserole, and a strong smell of medicine spread out. The liquid vapor kept gushing out of the casserole lid, making a puffing sound, as if singing the last elegy for this strong mother... When Zheng Yuanhai pushed open the door of the ward, his mother Xu Xinfang had already left. She chose this way to bid farewell to the world beyond his expectation. As long as he could remember, perseverance and tenacity had formed a complete image of his mother in his mind.For a person, whether he is suffering or dying, this choice is undoubtedly a sign of cowardice.But Zheng Yuanhai understood that the mother was not. The reason why the mother chose this was because her son was a soldier. She didn't want to drag him down, so she chose to die before dying on the hospital bed. With tears all over his face, Zheng Yuanhai silently knelt beside his mother's bed... Lu Huaicheng came, Chen Jianjun came, Nan Kejiang, Qin Siting, Mei Xing'er, Xie Tingqun, Ma Yifan and even Ji Dong all came. They stopped in front of Xu Xinfang and put their grief on their respect for her during her lifetime and behind her. Blessings on. There is no suffering in heaven, go all the way... After seeing off his mother Xu Xinfang, Zheng Yuanhai sat silently in front of his sister's hospital bed.Zheng Xiuzhu didn't know that the mother who loved her and loved her had followed her father to another world at this time, her expression was still peaceful. Zheng Yuanhai said to her silently: "little sister, mom is gone, she was reluctant to part with you when she left, and wanted to take you with her, but she couldn't bear it. Ever since you called her mom for the first time, she has taken you away As her own flesh and blood, as her own daughter, she didn't have the heart to take you away, but she couldn't worry about you. Mom left me a letter, asking me to keep you alive no matter how hard it is...Little sister, you Don't worry! I won't give up on you with my brother. On the day I'm leaving, if you don't wake up, I'll take you to see Mom and Dad. When the time comes, our family will still be together..." Tears flowed quietly down the resolute face of the clank man... Yu Jidong's life was also quite difficult. A bank loan of 4 million yuan was due, and the bank issued repayment notices one after another, making it difficult for him to even breathe.A dog jumps over a wall in a hurry, and a rabbit bites a person in a hurry. They are often used by people to describe those who are forced to come out. There is a saying that people are forced to come out. But some people were forced to go astray, Yu Jidong chose the latter in desperation, he decided to take the risk. After more than an hour's drive, Liu Si took Yu Jidong to a remote mountain village. In an empty house of a family, Yu Jidong saw the goods. Cultural relics of various sizes filled the room. Yu Jidong sighed in surprise: "Boss Liu, how many ancestral graves do you have to dig?" Liu Si smiled and said: "China has been buried for five thousand years, and there are many things buried in the ground. As long as they can be sold, I can dig as much as I want." "Then why don't you sell it in China, but take the risk of shipping it abroad?" "Boss Yu, there is a market for each line. The domestic police are watching closely, and the price is not as high as that of foreign countries." Liu Si said and picked up a bronze ware, "See? Just this one, if you want to ship it abroad, it is enough for one." People spend their lives drinking and drinking all their lives." "Really?" Yu Jidong thought about the price of these objects, and estimated that they would be worth at least one or two hundred million dollars. Liu Si said again: "Boss Yu, to be honest, I have known for a long time that your company has the right to import and export foreign trade, and the relationship with the customs is good. How about it? As long as you ship it to me, I guarantee you will earn at least 50 million." As he spoke, he leaned in front of him, and two more words popped out of his mouth, "U.S. dollars." "Okay! I'll ship the goods, but you have to pay me five million before shipping." Yu Ji Dong set out the terms. "Isn't there such a saying?" Liu Si rolled his eyes slyly, "We will share equally when it is shipped abroad, and I, Liu Si, keep my word." Yu Jidong smiled and shook his head: "No, it's a matter of losing your head. I can't just help you without paying a penny. Besides, if you want the customs to be safe, you have to go up and down." Liu Si thought about it for a while, and said bluntly, "Okay! That's it, five million will be credited to your account tomorrow." The next day, the 5 million promised by Liu Si was credited to the account of Huadi Company, which made Yu Jidong feel even more uneasy. As a result, Yu Jidong could only spend the rest of his life squatting in prison, eating cornbread and pickles.But if he didn't do it, he would have to spit out the five million he got.The company is now unsustainable, what should I do... When he was in a dilemma, Tan Long came up with an idea that the goods exported by the company used to be declared in the name of Lin Xue, and Lin Xue should be allowed to handle this matter.Yu Jidong shook his head repeatedly when he heard this, he was afraid that Lin Xue would be implicated if something happened.However, Tan Long persuaded Lin Xue to go abroad, and sent her to the plane immediately after the customs declaration. Even if something happened, Lin Xue's name was signed on it. Xue was abroad, and the customs had no choice but to find someone. Yu Jidong's eyes lit up, and he felt that this was a surefire solution, so he asked Lin Xue to meet and told her that the company was facing an economic crisis and that she was in charge of the goods before they were exported. give her a hand.Lin Xue, who was already completely disappointed with Ji Dong, saw that he was troubled by the company, and after some hesitation, she agreed. Traces of unidentified submarine activities were discovered at sea again, and Lu Huaicheng ordered the implementation of the second plan of the "Shark Hunting Action" plan using exercises as bait.After Zheng Yuanhai entrusted his younger sister to Qin Siting, he hurried back to the ship, and the ship was ready to sail and ready to anchor. In the hospital ward, Qin Siting was wiping Zheng Xiuzhu's face with a hot towel. Xie Tingqun came in with a bouquet of flowers. Seeing this, she couldn't help but ask, "How is she?" "All the vital signs are there, but there is no consciousness." "Will she... still wake up?" "Unless there is a medical miracle." Xie Tingqun placed the flowers in front of Zheng Xiuzhu's bed in a gloomy mood, then turned to Qin Siting and said, "Can I be alone with her for a while?" Qin Siting nodded and turned to go out. Xie Tingqun sat in front of the bed, looked at Zheng Xiuzhu quietly, couldn't help feeling ups and downs, and said softly: "Xiuzhu, I'm here to see you, can you hear me?" After a pause, he said, "Xiuzhu, do you know The first time I saw you, I fell in love with you. But I didn’t tell you the truth at that time. I told you that I was born in a big family. In fact, I was a real rural child, born in the countryside, I grew up in the countryside. When I was young, my family was poor, I was looked down upon by others, and I was often bullied. After joining the army, I was very afraid that people would say that I came from the countryside. I also said that since I was young, I didn’t know how to wash clothes, and the clothes were washed by the nanny. In fact, it was my mother who did the laundry. My mother also wanted me to stand out and never let me do the work by myself. I was in college, and my mother often took a car to the city to wash my clothes. That day, the reason why I was so close to you Said, I was afraid that you would look down on me..." Sighed and said, "I also know that there are some things I do that you don't like, but I want to stand out, I want people to look up to me, and I want you to look up to me... …Xiuzhu, can you understand me? That day by the stream, when you were washing my clothes, I kept looking at you secretly. You are kind, hardworking, kind-hearted and beautiful. At that moment, I made up my mind to I chased after you. Xiuzhu, you are the only girl I have ever loved at the age of Mr. Xie Ting..." She shook her head lightly and said, "Unfortunately, your heart is not on me. If you can treat me right before the accident Let me say that I love you, no matter whether you wake up or not, I will take care of you for the rest of my life without hesitation, even if I look at you silently like now, I will have no complaints or regrets for the rest of my life..." After a while, he lowered his head and kissed Xiuzhu's face lightly, and when he raised his head, there were tears in his eyes. After a while, Xie Tingqun stood up, tucked the quilt for her, turned and left. After leaving the hospital, Xie Tingqun walked blindly in a gloomy mood, and unknowingly came to the pier, stopped and looked at the officers and soldiers on the ship who were busy preparing to go to sea. On board 186, Chen Jianjun, who was organizing officers and soldiers to prepare for the voyage, saw him stepping off the ship: "Xiao Xie, why are you here?" "Captain, I... am going to visit a friend in the hospital, and I'll drop by." "How is my dad doing now?" "It's good, I'll take care of you, so don't worry!" Chen Jianjun nodded, and said, "Tingqun, I want to ask you something about the captain of the flagship, is there any news?" "This..." Xie Tingqun hesitated. Chen Jianjun smiled: "Okay, if it's convenient for you to tell me, just pretend I didn't ask and leave." After speaking, he turned and boarded the ship. "Captain..." Xie Tingqun stopped him, "I tell you, don't listen to me." Chen Jianjun smiled and said, "What's the matter? Is it so mysterious?" "Your biggest competitor now is Zheng Yuanhai. Ordinarily, Zheng Yuanhai can't compete with you, but do you know who he is?" "Who else could he be, it's Zheng Yuanhai!" Xie Tingqun approached him and whispered, "He is the son of Lu Huaicheng's old comrade-in-arms." Chen Jianjun looked at him in surprise: "Who did you hear that from?" "Leave it alone!" Xie Tingqun said again, "This time you understand why Zheng Yuanhai has improved so fast, right?" "Zheng Yuanhai is indeed outstanding, and that's normal." "Don't look at your old man as the captain of the fleet, but he is too upright, you can't rely on him, so you must not fall behind Zheng Yuanhai when dealing with unknown submarines, otherwise..." Xie Tingqun smiled, no Go on. Chen Jianjun nodded thoughtfully. After the formation arrived at the predetermined sea area, it started the submarine attack training according to the preset plan. The 588 frigate of Zheng Yuanhai cooperated with the 186 destroyer of Chen Jianjun to search and attack the 072 submarine of the imaginary enemy Nankejiang.In fact, Chen Jianjun already regarded Zheng Yuanhai as a potential enemy in his heart, fearing to be left behind, he made several dangerous attacks in a day, but was successfully escaped by the "cunning" Nankejiang, and was even almost attacked by others once. "Sink". In the evening, the base command sent an order to stop the submarine attack training, and the ships parked on the spot for vigilance.At 4 o'clock in the morning, Jizhi sent another notification. The 072 submarine was moored in the No. 6 sea area for alert, and the 186 and 588 ships were on alert in the No. 7 sea area. After dawn, the submarine attack training continued and the alert was strengthened. , immediately transferred to the actual combat state. As soon as it was dawn, Chen Jianjun got up and came to the deck, holding a stretcher and started exercising.A few minutes later, the battle siren sounded suddenly on the ship. Chen Jianjun rushed to the command cabin, and the watchman told him that the sonar found a submarine two nautical miles to the starboard side, with a dive depth of 60 meters. At this time, the deputy chief rushed into the cabin and complained: "This Nankejiang is too impatient, and he won't even let him sleep for a full night." Chen Jianjun said: "He is trying to take advantage of our ship's lax defenses to catch us off guard." Commissar Shen reminded: "Do you want to report the situation to Zheng Yuanhai?" "No need!" Chen Jianjun said confidently, "Our ship is more than enough to deal with a Nanke River." He turned to everyone and ordered, "Set sail, keep the radio silent, and approach it quietly." At this moment, only he knew in his heart that he must grab Zheng Yuanhai Achieved before. On the 588 frigate, Zheng Yuanhai saw that the 186 ship set sail for some reason, activated the information sharing system and knew that he was chasing the Nankejiang submarine, and the Nankejiang submarine did not know that the danger was approaching at this time. Zheng Yuanhai smiled, and said to the people around him: "Today the sea conditions are very good, there is no wind and no waves, it is a good day, the Nanke River is going to be unlucky." Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly froze, and shouted for a moment, "It is not the Nanke River, It's an unknown submarine, battle alert!" The battle alarm sounded quickly, and the officers and soldiers hurried to their respective battle positions. Zheng Yuanhai gave an order to the communicator: "The whole ship is ready for anti-submarine, and live ammunition is required!" Political Commissar Li, who had just entered the command cabin, was startled: "Captain, it should be a mock bomb!" "He's not Nankejiang." Zheng Yuanhai said into the microphone again, "Be careful with the sonar, and carefully judge whether the submarine approached by the 186 ship is a submarine model of our army." Political Commissar Li suddenly understood and looked up at the navigation clock. Two hours ago, they received a report from Jizhi that Nankejiang's 072 boat was still in No. 6 sea area. It would take two hours to arrive at No. 7 sea area unless it flew over with wings. Jiang Xizi's voice came from the loudspeaker: "The distance is far away, and the submarine model cannot be identified." Zheng Yuanhai said to the deputy chief: "You take command, I'll go to the sonar cabin." Turn around and go out. In the sonar cabin, Jiang Xizi and other sonar soldiers were listening carefully. Zheng Yuanhai walked in and asked Jiang Xizi eagerly, "How is it?" Jiang Xizi took off the earphones and said: "The sound is very small, it seems to be driven by batteries, and it is impossible to determine whether it is a submarine of our army." "There's no time, so listen carefully." From Zheng Yuanhai's expression, Jiang Xizi knew that the matter was important, so she put on her earphones and listened carefully again. Jiang Xizi's serious expression became more serious, and she suddenly shouted: "This is not a submarine of our army, it is a submarine painted with absorbing waves." Unidentified submarine of material." "Are you sure?" Zheng Yuanhai asked urgently. “他涂有吸波涂层，反射波较弱，但螺旋桨没有涂层反射正常，没错，是不明潜艇。” 郑远海摘下电话：“我是舰长，立即向186舰通报情况，这是不明潜艇。” 扬声器传来声音：“186舰已关闭电台，进入无线电静默。” 郑远海闻听愣了。他心里清楚，陈建军把不明潜艇误认为是南克江的072潜艇，如果向其发动模拟攻击被不明潜艇误认为遭到真正的攻击而反击，那么后果将不堪设想，想到这儿大声命令道：“紧急起航追上去，反潜鱼雷、反潜火箭发射准备。各部门对水下不明潜艇严密监视。”
