Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen

In the ward, Luo Jing and Qiao Hong, who were wearing hospital gowns, were watching TV news, and a picture of the triumphant victory of the anti-flood troops appeared on the screen: The gongs and drums are loud and the colorful flags are flying. The gate is decorated as a colorful gate, with the words "Arc de Triomphe" written in the center of the gate. The welcoming crowd stretched out from both sides of the colorful gate to the road, and they held the banner of "Warmly welcome the triumphant return of the heroes who fought against the flood". The crowd sang and danced with excitement.

The convoy came from afar. The TV host said affectionately: "Everyone, it is 11:35 in the morning, and the heroes who fought against the flood finally appeared in our camera. People from all walks of life were excited and rushed forward one after another, presenting flowers to the heroes. Dedicated to the deep respect of the people against Hong Hero..." The People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police convoy passed through the joyous crowd. Officers and soldiers waved to the crowd with proud smiles on their faces. Reporters from all walks of life gathered on the highway, scrambling to record the moment of this hero's triumph.

A picture of Lu Tao waving appeared on the TV. Qiao Hong exclaimed: "Look, Lu Tao, Lu Tao..." Luo Jing: "Hey, Haiying is here!" The picture of Yu Haiying in high spirits appeared on the TV. Qiao Hong: "They're back, they're finally back!" She couldn't help but shed tears. Luo Jing wiped away Qiao Hong's tears, helped her walk to the hospital bed and said, "Just come back, don't cry, you won't hurt the child like this." "I don't cry, I don't cry..." Qiao Hong's tears couldn't help but flowed away again.

Luo Jing couldn't help crying, she suddenly hugged Qiao Hong into her arms, and the two of them cried emotionally. Several cars and off-road vehicles drove into the gate of the hospital one after another and stopped in front of the building. Yu Haiying and Lu Tao got out of the car with flowers in their hands. Chen Ran, Xiao Mingliang and the reporter also got out of the car and walked into the gate of the inpatient department. In the ward, Qiao Hong changed out of her hospital gown, and Luo Jing was helping Qiao Hong to dress up.Footsteps were heard outside the door, and the two women were startled and stood up at the same time.

The door opened, and Yu Haiying and Lu Tao walked in, presenting the flowers in their hands to the two women. Chen Ran stepped forward, shook hands with the two women one by one, and said: "Your husbands are good! They won a lot of victories, and their reputation has spread internationally! But half of their military medals, and some Half of you! I heard that Yu Haiying is going to be a father, I brought a basket of eggs here today, don’t forget to treat me to red eggs when the moon is full." Qiao Hong hurriedly said: "I can't forget, I can't forget!" The reporter said loudly: "The hero and the hero's wife hold hands and take a picture."

Yu Haiying was at a loss, Qiao Hong took the initiative to take his hand, Qiao Hong looked at Yu Haiying, her eyes were already red. The lights flickered, and the reporter took pictures of the moment. Chen Ran and Xiao Mingliang walked between Yu Haiying and Lu Tao, Chen Ran said, "Come on, let us be a light bulb for you two." Yu Haiying and Lu Tao stood on both sides of Chen Ran and Xiao Mingliang respectively, the flashlight flashed, and the group photo was frozen in the camera. Yu Haiying didn't care about the various symposiums in the market, he drove alone to the prison where the transferred prisoners were. Du Hai's expectant eyes flashed in his mind every day, and he had to solve this mystery.

The heavy iron gate of the prison opened with a bang, and the prison guard escorted Du Hai out of the cell. He subconsciously blocked the glare of the sun with his hands, and followed the prison guard to the end of the corridor. In the visiting room, Yu Haiying was wearing casual clothes, standing with his back in front of the window, when he heard the door open, he turned around. Du Hai looked at Yu Haiying and sat down slowly opposite the glass. Yu Haiying: "Du Hai, are the conditions here okay?" Du Hai nodded quickly. Yu Haiying: "There is no one else today, so if you have anything to say, just say it."

Du Hai looked at the prison guard behind him, hesitating. Yu Haiying: "I will keep it secret for you and absolutely guarantee your safety." Du Hai lowered his head and still didn't speak. Yu Haiying: "Du Hai, I know you have concerns, and I know the background of your company very well. It stands to reason that your case has already been closed, so I don't need to bother about it anymore, but I found that this case has Doubt, there is a problem, in order for my soldiers to rest in peace under the Nine Springs, and to give you a fair statement, I must solve this doubt and tell the truth. Please believe me, no matter what difficulties, I will never Never give up."

Du Hai raised his head slowly, looked at Yu Haiying, took out a document from his pocket, and handed it to him. Yu Haiying took the materials and looked at them carefully. After a while, Du Hai said softly: "To tell you the truth, I am a 'scapegoat'." Yu Haiying put down the materials in his hands and looked at Du Hai. Du Hai: "On the day of the accident, my boss and I had a drink at the Dragon King Hotel. The boss was too drunk and insisted on letting me drive the car for him. We drove very fast all the way. When we got near the airport, the boss wanted to take a shortcut to go home. The car drove to the back gate of the airport. The security guard stepped forward to block it, and the boss rushed in as soon as he stepped on the gas pedal. The boss was so drunk that he couldn't tell which was the runway and which was the auxiliary road, so he drove the car inadvertently On the runway. At this time, an armed police came up to stop the car. I asked him to stop quickly. He said it was okay, and he would avoid it. He stepped on the gas pedal and rushed up. I heard a "bang" at that time , I know something has happened..."

The moment of the car crash seemed to flash before Yu Haiying's eyes, as if he saw the tragic scene of Lin Ahshui being thrown high into the air and falling down.Holding back his sadness, he asked, "Then what happened next?" Du Hai: "Later, we fled the scene, deliberately crashed into a tree on the side of the road in the suburbs, and then drove the car to a repair shop to hide. I reminded the boss to call the police, and the boss said that nothing would happen, just take shelter from the wind I think so, there are more traffic accidents every year, how can it be so easy to find out? I didn’t expect you to check so strictly and found our car. The boss panicked. One night, he came to my dormitory , handed me a lockbox. He said there was 300,000 yuan in it. As long as I promised to say that I drove the car, I would stay in prison for half a year at most, and he would fish me out. I know he does have a relative Being a leader in the city, and earning 300,000 yuan in half a year, for us wage earners, it is like a pie in the sky, so I followed him..."

Yu Haiying: "Do you know who his relatives are?" Du Hai: "That's the deputy mayor—Chen Ran!" Yu Haiying looked at him in surprise. Yu Haiying drove the car very fast, and the high-rise city passed by the car in a blink of an eye.Du Hai's words kept echoing in his mind: "I want to tell you the truth, but I'm afraid that if the boss finds out, not only will I lose all my money, but my family will also be implicated. Our family is in the countryside. Poor. My father is sick and bedridden all the year round, and my mother is not in good health. As a son like me, I have no choice but to come to the Special Economic Zone to work. I wanted to earn some money and go home. I'm sorry my parents..." Yu Haiying's car sped away and disappeared at the end of the seaside road. In the detachment auditorium, the lights are like daylight.There were waves of euphemistic and lyrical piano sounds on the stage, and a group of soldiers on the stage each played an erhu and were playing the piece "Moon of the Fifteenth". The stage was lit, with a "Recognition Party" banner hanging above it. Xiao Mingliang was sitting in the empty auditorium, and a major was sitting beside him, reporting to him: "The preparations for the commendation meeting are basically ready, and we have made a form for the specific procedures." He said and handed the form to him. Xiao Mingliang looked at his watch and said to the major: "Don't make a mistake about the seats on the rostrum. This time, in addition to the head of the corps, there are also local leaders. Be careful who comes first." At this time, Lu Tao hurried over happily holding a folder, and the major left knowingly when he saw Lu Tao coming. Lu Tao said happily: "This time it went big, not only the provincial and municipal leaders were alarmed, but even the headquarters also sent a fax to praise us, take a look." Xiao Mingliang took the folder and said, "I see. They called me this morning. They also said that the Art Troupe of the Headquarters will also come down to perform. Let us also put on a show." Lu Tao: "Hey, I finally turned around. I didn't expect that this escort would have such a big impact!" While the two were talking, the door of the auditorium opened with a bang. Lu Tao and Xiao Mingliang looked back and saw Yu Haiying standing in the light and waving to them. The two got up and went out. When the two came outside the auditorium, Yu Haiying handed over a copy of the material to Xiao Mingliang, and Xiao Mingliang read it seriously. Lu Tao asked softly: "It's a big day, what the hell are you doing?" Yu Haiying: "You will know after reading the material." Xiao Mingliang handed over the materials after reading to Lu Tao. Lu Tao flipped through it casually, and asked, "Du Hai, is what he said credible?" Yu Haiying: "I think it's credible." Xiao Mingliang: "Haiying, what are your thoughts on this matter? What are you going to do?" Yu Haiying: "Follow legal procedures." Lu Tao: "I think it's better to let this matter go. On a happy day, it's too bad to go to court. Besides, even if you sue, you should say hello to Mayor Chen first." Yu Haiying: "Isn't saying hello now the same as tipping off the news? What if his cousin runs away?" Lu Tao: "Chen Ran is the deputy mayor in charge of politics and law. If you don't say hello to this matter, others will. At that time, deputy mayor Chen will know. Do we still have the face to see him?" Yu Haiying: "I suspect that he has known for a long time, maybe he is covering up his relatives. Why Du Hai told me the truth is because he believes in us. I also promised others to guarantee his safety. If it is because of How can we make the world believe us if we accidentally hurt him?" Lu Tao wanted to argue with Yu Haiying, but Xiao Mingliang stopped him: "Old Lu, do you think Yu Haiying has improved? Everything must be done according to the procedures." Lu Tao sneered and didn't speak. Xiao Mingliang: "Hai Ying, what Lao Lu said is not unreasonable. This matter is indeed very difficult, and we all have to hold our breath. Leave this matter to me first, can you two rest assured?" Lu Tao: "I'm 100% assured, but I'm afraid that the chief of staff will be paranoid." After speaking, he left without looking back. Yu Haiying and Xiao Mingliang stared at Lu Tao who was going away without saying a word. Du Hai's matter was suppressed by Xiao Mingliang, and Lu Tao felt that this was the most sensible thing Xiao Mingliang did. But Yu Haiying jumped out to make trouble every time it was critical, which made him feel very uncomfortable.Lu Tao was driving the car on the street with a displeasure on his face. From the inside of the car, there were still slogans and banners saying "Welcome the Flood Heroes" floating on the street. The phone rang, and he answered it while driving: "Who?... Oh, it's Boss Qiu... Treat me to dinner? I'm about to treat you." When the lights come on, the city is shrouded in a flickering haze. Qiu Yongxing stood at the entrance of the hotel to meet Lu Tao. When Lu Tao drove over, Qiu Yongxing opened the door for him respectfully and said, "Detachment Captain, I've been waiting for you here for a long time!" Lu Tao laughed as he got out of the car and said, "Boss Qiu, you're making things worse again!" Lu Tao took out an invitation from his bag and handed it to Qiu Yongxing. Qiu Yongxing: "What do you mean? It can't be a second marriage, right?" Lu Tao: "You're only married for the second time! Please attend the commendation meeting..." Qiu Yongxing accepted the invitation and said, "It's an honor, an honor!" Lu Tao: "I have half of the military medal, and you have half." Qiu Yongxing: "Then I will give you half of me too!" The two talked and laughed all the way into the hotel. In the box, a stylishly dressed female secretary stood at the door to welcome them. Lu Tao and Qiu Yongxing walked in talking and laughing. The female secretary nodded politely to them, closed the door and left. Looking at the empty room and the prepared banquet, Lu Tao felt surprised and asked, "Boss Qiu, did I come too early?" Qiu Yongxing shook his head and said, "It's not early, I'll invite you alone today." Lu Tao: "The celebration banquet is lively when there are many people. What's the point of inviting me?" Qiu Yongxing: "You are the real hero fighting the flood this time. Thousands of troops and horses listen to your orders. Can you please be one?" Lu Tao laughed loudly, and the two sat down. Qiu Yongxing was busy pouring wine for Lu Tao. Lu Tao: "Don't flatter me. Boss Qiu is also very interesting in this flood fight. He sent us goose feathers at the critical moment." Qiu Yongxing: "Detachment Captain, I not only sent you goose feathers, I also solved a problem for you." Lu Tao: "Yes, yes, yes, I would like to toast you." He clinked glasses with Qiu Yongxing, and the two drank it down in one gulp. Qiu Yongxing: "Last time when you were in trouble, someone from me, Qiu, helped me with all my might. Now that I'm in trouble, the detachment leader won't let me go." Lu Tao seemed to understand something, and asked, "Old Qiu, if you have something to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush." Qiu Yongxing: "Old Lu, you see, after the monetary tightening, the next step is to clean up and rectify. A few days ago, our company's accounts were frozen..." Lu Tao's face turned gloomy: "Are you trying to collect debts?" Qiu Yongxing: "This is too harsh. I, Qiu Yongxing, am not such a stingy person. But..." Lu Tao interrupted him: "Don't say anything, don't say anything! I will return the money to you within two days." After he got up and was about to leave, Qiu Yongxing stepped forward to hold him back and said, "Don't be angry, just listen to me slowly." Lu Tao: "What else are you talking about? Isn't it just paying back the money?" Qiao Hong sat on the sofa in the living room at home and made a phone call, asking about real estate. Yu Haiying came over with a glass of milk, handed it to Qiao Hong, and said, "Didn't you say you would never touch real estate? Why are you talking about it?" Qiao Hong: "Then I have to sell the bad building, otherwise how can I pay off the debt?" Yu Haiying: "Qiao Hong, you haven't told me who helped you with the loan last time." Qiao Hong understated: "A friend." Yu Haiying glanced at her and asked, "What friend?" Qiao Hong: "Good friend!" Yu Haiying: "Who is your good friend?" Qiao Hong: "Why do you ask me that?" Yu Haiying: "Since a good friend has helped you, we have to show it." Qiao Hong didn't answer Yu Haiying's words, and turned on the TV to watch. Yu Haiying followed with milk: "Okay, okay, I won't ask if you don't tell me, go to bed early. If you don't sleep, my son won't be able to sleep either." Qiao Hong took the milk and took a sip, then continued to stare at the TV. Yu Haiying also sat down to watch. Focus interviews are being broadcast on TV, talking about a corruption incident brought about by a levee tofu dregs project. The more Qiao Hong looked at it, the angrier she became, and she scolded corrupt officials from time to time. Yu Haiying stared at Qiao Hong with a complicated expression. Qiao Hong turned around and looked at him strangely, and asked, "Why? Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not a corrupt official?" Yu Haiying: "What does the corrupt official look like?" Qiao Hong: "Corrupt officials are not written on their faces, how do I know?" Yu Haiying: "Corrupt officials who are not written on their faces are sometimes the real corrupt officials." Qiao Hong: "Who are you talking about?" Yu Haiying: "I don't know." He got up and walked into the bedroom. Qiao Hong scolded softly: "Crazy, I think you look like it!" In the early morning, in front of the detachment gate, gongs and drums were ringing, and colorful flags fluttered. Yu Haiying, Xiao Mingliang, Lu Tao and other party committee members stood in a row in front of the gate, waiting quietly. Yu Haiying turned his head and asked Xiao Mingliang quietly: "Has the complaint been handed in?" "not yet." "why?" "I've already arranged this matter, you should calm down first." "There won't be any accidents, just in case..." "I am responsible for the accident." A minibus drove over and drove directly to the gate. The officers and soldiers applauded enthusiastically. The door opened, and the team leader, Chen Ran and other local leaders got out of the car. Xiao Mingliang and other detachment leaders stepped forward to salute and shake hands with the guests. Yu Haiying shook hands with Chen Ran, and Chen Ran held his hand: "Chief of Staff Yu came a bit late this time when he was reinstated, and you have been wronged." Yu Haiying smiled strangely. At night, the auditorium was brightly lit, and the celebration performance officially began. A female announcer in military uniform was enthusiastically announcing the curtain: "...in golden autumn and October, with fruitful results, our flood-fighting heroes came on the waves of the flood. With their infinite loyalty to the motherland and the people, they wrote a hymn to the heroes of the new era, let us dedicate flowers and applause to them, and invite the heroes who fought against the flood to come on stage." There was thunderous applause from the audience. Amid the sound of music, Yu Haiying, Lu Tao, Zhang Wu, Lin Ashan and others walked onto the stage wearing big red flowers on their chests. Chen Ran, the head of the corps and other military and local leaders stepped forward to present awards to Yu Haiying and other heroes. Chen Ran personally gave Yu Haiying a second-class military medal. Yu Haiying and others turned around and saluted the officers and soldiers. The applause was even louder. Everyone stepped down from the stage. Host: "The hero's deeds are touching, and the hero's spirit inspires us. In order to express our respect to the heroes, our art troupe and detachment officers and soldiers rushed to arrange a program. Next, please enjoy the erhu ensemble "Moon of the Fifteenth"" Yu Haiying, Xiao Mingliang, Lu Tao accompanied Chen Ran and other officials to sit in the audience watching the performance, and the atmosphere was cheerful. Zhang Wu sat in the second row.He poked Yu Haiying with his hand, and said softly, "Chief of Staff, congratulations on your reinstatement!" Yu Haiying turned his head and smiled and said to him, "We are happy together." Zhang Wu: "What am I happy about?" Yu Haiying: "You have also been reinstated as an official, and returned to the special service as the captain." Zhang Wu asked in surprise: "Really?" Yu Haiying: "The above has already approved it!" Zhang Wu: "Thank you, I know I'm in your favor." Yu Haiying smiled and turned to watch the performance. On the stage, they were talking about cross talk, and the officers and soldiers were laughing up and down. Suddenly, Chen Ran's cell phone rang. As he listened, his face changed suddenly. He got up and bid farewell to Xiao Mingliang, and left in a hurry. Lu Tao followed out. Seeing this scene, Yu Haiying suddenly became suspicious.He thought, Lu Tao wouldn't tell Chen Ran about Du Hai, would he? Outside the auditorium, Chen Ran seemed to be explaining something to Lu Tao. Yu Haiying also walked out of the auditorium and watched from the door. Chen Ran shook hands with Lu Tao, got into the car, and disappeared into the night. Because the distance was too far, Yu Haiying couldn't hear what they were saying, but the suspicion in his heart deepened. In the middle of the night, Yu Haiying waited by the window for Lu Tao to come back. It was not until after two o'clock in the night that a car with a local brand brought him back.Yu Haiying came out from the house and gently closed the door, ran down the stairs, and stopped Lu Tao who was going upstairs at the corner of the next staircase. Lu Tao stared at him inexplicably, and asked: "What are you doing, kid? Are you so excited that you can't sleep because of your meritorious service? Come on, go to my house and have a drink." Yu Haiying lowered his voice and said, "Slow down, Qiao Hong just fell asleep." Lu Tao: "What's the matter?" Yu Haiying: "While watching the show today, what did you and Deputy Mayor Chen say mysteriously?" Lu Tao: "I didn't say anything, just chatting." Yu Haiying: "What are you talking about?" Lu Tao: "Let's talk about whatever comes to mind, how can I remember it?" Yu Haiying: "I mean when Deputy Mayor Chen left, what did you say when you sent him out?" Lu Tao asked urgently, "Are you checking your household registration?" Yu Haiying froze for a moment, but didn't speak. Lu Tao: "Yu Haiying, don't be suspicious! Don't think that you are the hero and everyone else is a bear!" After finishing speaking, he walked upstairs angrily, and Yu Haiying followed closely behind him. Yu Haiying: "Du Hai's matter can't be delayed any longer." Lu Tao: "I have agreed with the political commissar, let's suppress it temporarily. I heard that the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department has just finished the assessment, and Deputy Mayor Chen is about to straighten up. Let's talk about it at this juncture, and it will affect his future. Yes. Besides, Deputy Mayor Chen is very concerned about the construction of our detachment, and he is recognized by the troops stationed in the special zone as the "mayor supporting the army." Yu Haiying: "I admit that Deputy Mayor Chen is really concerned about the construction of our detachment, but we can't just let the murderer go unpunished." Lu Tao: "I didn't say I won't pursue it anymore, I just took it easy for a while." Yu Haiying: "What if Vice Mayor Chen..." Lu Tao said furiously, "Yu Haiying, let me tell you, Deputy Mayor Chen said a lot of good things about your reinstatement..." The two walked to the door, Yu Haiying wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lu Tao, he said softly: "I don't care about this matter, you go to the political commissar, he has full authority to handle this matter." After speaking, he opened the door and entered the room, "Boom " shut the door with a bang. Yu Haiying wanted to knock on the door but felt it was wrong, so he went home helplessly. That kid Han Fei was able to make a fuss. Within a few months, he opened another bar, and named it Old Comrade Bar, and he was also the owner. Before opening, he invited Zhang Wu out to serve as a staff officer. In the bar, Han Fei held a military dagger in his hand, pointed to the surrounding layout and said to Zhang Wu: "Look at the bayonet, steel helmet, bullet bag, military satchel, and everything from music to decorations are full of the atmosphere of a military camp, so , our bar is called the Old Comrade Bar." Zhang Wu: "You kid has a lot of fancy ideas." Han Fei: "There is no other way." Zhang Wu: "Hedong for 30 years, Hexi for 30 years! I didn't expect that the multi-millionaire in the past would become the owner of a small shop in an instant." Han Fei: "You're wrong. In order to open this bar, I almost took my own life. Cough, a man can bend and stretch, and I'm back to basics! Hey, you must come to support the opening tomorrow. accepted." Zhang Wu: "Didn't I come already?" Han Fei: "You guys are twenty-four hours ahead of schedule!" Zhang Wu suddenly asked: "Han Fei, I want to ask you something?" Han Fei: "I have something to say, but I haven't seen Li Hongmei recently." Hearing Han Fei talking about Li Hongmei, Zhang Wu looked displeased: "Can we not mention her?" Han Fei: "Then what can you say to me?" Zhang Wu: "Recently, have you had any business dealings with Vice Mayor Chen's cousin?" Han Fei: "The driver of their company killed our soldier. How can I associate with this kind of person? Hey, Zhang Wu, what do you mean?" Zhang Wu: "Nothing interesting? A friend thinks his family has a background and wants to discuss business with him. Ask me to ask what he is doing now?" Han Fei: "I don't know." The detachment stadium is brightly lit, and officers and soldiers are playing basketball with college students on the detachment playground.A banner reading "Jinlan University Learn from Flood Fighting Officers and Soldiers" hung above the stadium. Yu Haiying personally acted as the referee and was seriously blowing the whistle.A player fouled, and Yu Haiying immediately whistled for a penalty. Yu Haiying retreated to the sidelines to watch the free throw. Suddenly someone pulled him behind him. He turned to see Zhang Wu and asked, "What are you doing? Didn't you see that I was busy?" Zhang Wu: "I have something to do." Yu Haiying: "I have something to say later." After the free throw, Yu Haiying ran with the players again. Zhang Wu withdrew from the crowd helplessly. The game was played very well, and in the end the detachment narrowly won by two points. After the match, Yu Haiying was called out by Zhang Wu as soon as he got off the court.The two went to stand under the tree outside the court, and Yu Haiying wiped his sweat and asked, "Why are you looking for me?" "I have news about what you asked me to inquire about." Zhang Wu said. Yu Haiying: "Good news or bad news?" Zhang Wu glanced at Yu Haiying and replied, "Bad news." The next day, Xiao Mingliang sat at his desk with a pen in his hand, reading a document and revising it from time to time. Yu Haiying hurried in and closed the door behind his back. Xiao Mingliang said enthusiastically: "Haiying, you came at a good time. The headquarters asked us to select a good seedling from the anti-hong heroes and send it to the Command Academy for training. I have already discussed with Lao Lu, let Lin Ashan go, what do you think?" ?” Yu Haiying said coldly: "I have no objection." Xiao Mingliang picked up a piece of material on the table and handed it to him, saying, "This is your speech, I've already edited it out, you should preview it first." Yu Haiying didn't answer, and went straight to the chair opposite Xiao Mingliang and sat down. Xiao Mingliang: "The headquarter organizes this anti-flood hero model report group, and the higher-ups will call you to participate. Haiying, you have to take this matter seriously." Yu Haiying: "Political Commissar, I'm not in the mood to give a speech." Xiao Mingliang was surprised: "Why?" Yu Haiying: "Because I haven't figured out some things, I can't face everyone and say those high-sounding big words." Xiao Mingliang asked, "What's the matter with you, Haiying?" Yu Haiying: "Vice Mayor Chen's cousin has gone abroad." Xiao Mingliang asked calmly, "Who did you listen to?" Yu Haiying: "A friend is in his company and said that he went abroad for inspection suddenly two days ago." Xiao Mingliang: "I know about this." Yu Haiying was startled, and said: "You know, don't you think it's suspicious? First, you found someone to take the blame, but now you're going abroad suddenly, you must have heard something." Xiao Mingliang: "You mean that his going abroad is related to Vice Mayor Chen?" Yu Haiying: "Personally, I think it is possible. There are a lot of corrupt elements nowadays. Two days ago, there was a report on TV that a deputy governor was arrested for accepting bribes." Xiao Mingliang: "Then you can't doubt everything because of this. I don't think Deputy Mayor Chen is this kind of person. After all, he is the first batch of sea trespassers who have experienced storms. He is also a doctoral student, and his career is in full swing." Yu Haiying said excitedly: "Corrupt officials are officials with prosperous careers, and ordinary people have no one to find them if they want to be corrupt. Which one of the corrupt officials you mentioned in your warning education is not famous?" Xiao Mingliang smiled: "Haiying, you have to hold your breath on this matter, let time tell." Yu Haiying said to himself: "Times are changing, society is changing, and people's hearts are changing too!" Xiao Mingliang: "Do you believe me?" Yu Haiying: "I believe in you, but it doesn't mean that everyone is worthy of my trust." After speaking, he got up and wanted to leave. Xiao Mingliang stopped him and said, "Haiying, wait." Yu Haiying stopped in his tracks. Xiao Mingliang came over and said, "You can't just pretend to be one thing in your heart, you have to go to the speech, and you should also care about Lu Tao's affairs." Yu Haiying: "What happened to Lu Tao? Could it be that he tipped off the news?" Xiao Mingliang: "You are so stubborn! I mean, Lu Tao is going to be the head of the Enterprise Bureau of the Corps." Yu Haiying was startled, and said: "So he was struggling with this matter, he said he can't go, why...is it impossible?" Xiao Mingliang: "Hey, rumors are going crazy in the army. It is said that Lao Lu stepped on a series of thunderbolts. He was promoted to the head of the detachment and then the director of the enterprise. He has a series of good luck." Yu Haiying looked at Xiao Mingliang thoughtfully. Shooting range, gunfire bursts. Several bosses were lying on the ground shooting targets. Qiu Yongxing fired a shot, and someone in the opposite target ditch drew a circle, fired another shot, and drew another circle. He fired ten shots in a row and drew ten circles. A young female secretary next to Qiu Yongxing said sarcastically: "Mr. Qiu, ten biscuits are enough for ten days." A friend next to him said with a smile: "The main reason is that Mr. Qiu is not good at shooting guns, but good at using them." Qiu Yongxing was obviously irritated, and said vigorously: "It's definitely the problem of the gun! It's not my problem! When I was a member of the militia, I was known as a sharpshooter." Lu Tao walked over with a smile and said, "It must be a problem with the gun. Changing the gun will definitely hit the target with every shot." Qiu Yongxing: "Speaking like this will make me big, don't make it hard for me to ride a tiger." As he said that, he was about to get up. "President Qiu, wait." Lu Tao turned around and shouted to Zhang Wu who was in the distance: "Zhang Wu!" "Here!" Zhang Wu replied. Lu Tao: "Bring another gun." Zhang Wu ran over, holding a gun in his hand, and said with great reluctance on his face, "Detachment Captain, these are guns for special shooters, why are they inaccurate? Probably because the bullets don't have eyes?" Lu Tao said sternly: "I think you don't have eyes!" Zhang Wu was puzzled for a while, Lu Tao pulled him aside and said softly, "You just need to sign up for the tenth ring, don't you think it's enough! These bird people, do you think they really dare to go to the battlefield?" Zhang Wu snorted and left. Next, the bosses all became sharpshooters, with almost ten rings of guns... On the small road of the shooting range at dusk, Lu Tao and his party came back from shooting, talking and laughing happily. Qiu Yongxing said cheerfully: "This cowhide is not for blowing, and the train is not for pushing! Guns and guns with ten rings, are you convinced?" Everyone: "Conquer! Boss Qiu, I think you can go to the national team with your marksmanship. You have to treat us today!" Qiu Yongxing said willingly: "Please please! How about we go to the international rotation?" Everyone shouted: "Good! Good!" Qiu Yongxing: "Hey, Lao Lu, you go too!" Lu Tao: "I'm a little dizzy today, so I won't spin." Qiu Yongxing looked at Lu Tao and smiled, and told his companions to get in the car first and wait. He walked up to Lu Tao and said, "Detachment Captain, don't be afraid. The east wind blows and the war drums are beating. Who is afraid of whom in the world now? These days, It’s not that the debtor is afraid of the debt collector, but the debt collector is afraid of the debt collector! Yesterday, I watched Huang Hong’s debt collection skit performed very well!” Lu Tao: "Old Qiu, in the end, those who owe debts are afraid of debt collection. It's only natural to pay back the debts! But the money has to be delayed." Qiu Yongxing: "I heard that the head of the detachment is going to be promoted, and he will become the head of the Enterprise Bureau. This mere 300,000 yuan is nothing to you. You can figure it out, but don't keep letting our pigeons go." Lu Tao said embarrassingly: "When will my words, Lu Tao, not count?" Qiu Yongxing: "No, indeed not. This time everyone is watching with wide eyes." Lu Tao looked displeased. Qiu Yongxing: "Detachment Captain, I won't make things difficult for you, just set aside a piece of training ground for me." Lu Tao: "It's impossible to allocate land. It's harder than paying back the money. The training ground is the lifeblood of the chief of staff. If he knows, he won't pull me out as a target." Qiu Yongxing: "The chief of staff is so powerful, his wife owes money, so let him take care of it, why do you pay it?" Hearing Qiu Yongxing's words, Lu Tao was taken aback for a moment, and immediately raised his voice: "Who are you listening to?" Qiu Yongxing: "I still have a lot of friends. If the detachment leader has something to say, I'll go to the chief of staff." Lu Tao: "What do you want him for?" Qiu Yongxing: "Let him order his wife to give me the piece of land by the sea and her rotten building. I will find a way to sell it, so that we will owe nothing to anyone." Lu Tao: "Boss Qiu, you didn't learn arithmetic well when you were young. Can millions and hundreds of thousands be equal?" Qiu Yongxing: "You can't say that. What year is it now? The bubble burst, and the boss has escaped. Who would dare to jump into the fire pit? To be honest, it's me, Qiu, who dares to stab a friend in the ribs." I!" An off-road vehicle stopped not far away, and Yu Haiying jumped out of the vehicle. Lu Tao quickly stopped talking, lowered his voice and said to Qiu Yongxing: "Okay! You must not let the chief of staff know about this matter. You go first, and I will definitely pay you back the money at night." In Haiying's office, He Guobin was waiting for Haiying with fruit. When Yu Haiying walked in, He Guobin greeted him warmly and said, "Old Yu, no no, Chief of Staff, are you back? I really miss you." Yu Haiying jokingly said: "What do you miss me for? Don't be afraid that I will deal with you again!" He Guobin smiled: "It is also a kind of enjoyment to be tidied up. It was an unforgettable day." They were talking when Lu Tao walked in. Yu Haiying's face darkened all of a sudden, and he said, "Xiao He, you go out first." Seeing this, He Guobin quickly slipped out. Yu Haiying: "Vice Mayor Chen's cousin has gone abroad." Lu Tao: "Oh, I heard." Yu Haiying: "Don't you find this strange?" Lu Tao: "What's so strange about this? It's popular to go abroad for inspections now, and I want to go out for a walk too, but we're soldiers, so we can't." Yu Haiying: "But why did he choose to go abroad at this time?" Lu Tao's expression changed: "Yu Haiying, don't you suspect that I tipped off the news?" Yu Haiying: "Didn't you keep looking for Vice Mayor Chen recently?" Lu Tao was furious: "You bastard, I'm looking for Deputy Mayor Chen to approve the project." What more did Yu Haiying want to ask, the phone rang, and his face changed suddenly after hearing a few words: "What? Okay, I'll be right there." He hung up the phone in a hurry. Lu Tao: "What's wrong?" Yu Haiying: "Qiao Hong is about to give birth!" The two ran out. Yu Haiying was driving, and Lu Tao was sitting in the passenger seat. The dusk light and shadow were unpredictable on their faces. Yu Haiying: "Just toss around, now everywhere is being rectified, what other projects can we do?" Lu Tao: "It's because I can't do any kind of project that I want to set up a field training camp open to the outside world." Yu Haiying: "The boss has run away, the funds are gone, who is in the mood to come to your place to fight. Lu Tao, I think you will not turn back until you hit the south wall, and you will not shed tears when you see the coffin." Lu Tao: "The south wall for a while, the coffin for a while, what on earth are you going to say?" Yu Haiying: "If you say I'm a stickler, you are! You've been promoted and made meritorious service. The detachment leader has done a good job. Why do you bother to go to the Enterprise Bureau?" Lu Tao: "Because the Enterprise Bureau has money! Think about it, Qiu Yongxing used to be just a small accountant in the village. Why did he make fun of it? Isn't it because he has money? If he can make money, so can we. People only focus on money No, but no money is absolutely impossible, let me tell you Yu Haiying, sometimes even a penny can stump a hero!" Yu Haiying satirized him: "Anyway, you have already fallen into the eyes of money, I wish you a fortune!" Lu Tao: "Let me tell you the truth, I just want to prove to them that I, Lu Tao, can earn more money than them, and of course I earn money for the army." Yu Haiying glanced at Lu Tao, then turned to look at the busy traffic outside the window. Yu Haiying drove an off-road vehicle into the gate of the hospital, the car stopped in front of the inpatient department building, got off the car with Lu Tao and ran in hastily, at the corner of the corridor, Yu Haiying bumped into a female nurse. Yu Haiying apologized and continued to move forward. In front of the delivery room, Luo Jing was anxiously wandering in front of the door. Seeing Haiying and Lu Tao approaching, she hurried up to greet her and said, "Why did you come here?" Yu Haiying hurriedly asked, "Did you give birth?" 罗静：“还没有。下午乔红上了一个厕所，肚子就痛了，然后就进了产房……” 于海鹰着急地问：“情况怎么样？” 罗静：“现在又没动静了。” 产房的门开了，乔红被推了出来。 三人赶紧围了上去。于海鹰问护士：“我儿子呢？” 护士：“你儿子还在妈妈的肚子里呢，明天能生就不错了。” 乔红躺在床上痛苦地呻吟着，于海鹰上前赶紧拉住乔红的手。 于海鹰：“乔红，痛不痛啊？” 护士：“女人生孩子能不疼吗？”说着把乔红推进了病房。 于海鹰问罗静：“我这个儿子怎么这么折腾他妈啊？” 罗静：“乔红可能是难产。” 于海鹰一惊：“难产？” 罗静：“就是胎位不正，不能顺着下来。” 陆涛：“跟你一样，有点儿呛茬儿。” 于海鹰和罗静都扭头瞪了陆涛一眼，陆涛面无表情地把头扭到一边。这时，病房内又传来乔红的一阵呻吟声。 于海鹰赶快趴在病房的窗户上往里张望。 罗静也趴了上来。 于海鹰：“看来，我儿子是乱拉警报搞演习呢！一场虚惊！嫂子，我在这儿守着，你先跟陆涛回去吧。” 罗静：“好吧！” 两人扭身，陆涛已不见踪影。 于海鹰和罗静走出医院门口，四处寻找着，根本没有陆涛的影子。 于海鹰自言自语地说：“刚才还在，怎么转眼就没了。” 罗静：“他最近总这样，也不打招呼，说走就走了。” 于海鹰疑虑地：“是吗？是不是忙着到企业局当局长啊？” 罗静：“不知道，我也不敢问他，一问他，他就嫌我嘴碎。这段时间他的脾气越来越坏，经常骂人摔东西。” 听着罗静的话，于海鹰若有所思。 罗静：“海鹰啊！我不是不想让他当局长，也不是不想让他做生意，为了军队上的事，吃什么苦都行。我就是不想让他跟钱打交道，现在不是都说男人有钱就变坏，女人变坏就有钱吗？如果真是这样，我宁愿穷点。” 于海鹰安慰她说：“嫂子，没那么严重。” 罗静：“很难说啊。我们学校有一个语文老师，是学校出了名的好人，年年都是先进工作者。后来，偷偷搞了一个广告公司，不知怎么的就变成了几百万的富翁。可是好景不长，就前几天让公安局给抓了。而且犯的不是经济案，而是重婚罪！” 于海鹰看着罗静担心的神情，他的心里也没了底，这个陆涛怎么突然就跑了呢？这里面肯定有问题。 其实，陆涛哪儿也没去，就在他的办公室里，而且做出了一个大胆的决定。 办公桌上的烟灰缸里装满了烟头，陆涛靠在椅子上抽烟。 “报告！”门外传来了一名干部的声音。 陆涛打起精神，说：“进来。” 一名上尉拿着一张支票走了进来，把支票小心翼翼放在陆涛面前，轻声说：“支队长，钱准备齐了。但是……” 陆涛眼睛一瞪，说：“但是什么？” 上尉：“动用这么大的资金，按规定政委也要签字。” 陆涛：“大半夜的上哪儿去找政委呀？我打借条就行了，你怕我跑了？” 上尉慌慌张张解释道：“不是……” 陆涛：“不是什么？” 上尉不敢吭声。 陆涛龙飞凤舞地写了个借条，扔给上尉，拿着支票起身就走。 上尉：“支队长，别掉了，这是现金支票。” 陆涛又瞪了上尉一眼，说：“你怎么这么啰嗦！” 两人走出门，陆涛用力把门关上。 清晨，产房门外一个男人坐在“静”字下，稀里呼噜吃着方便面，忽然听到旁边的鼾声。 他走过来，捅了捅正在打鼾的于海鹰，说：“哥们，醒醒。” 于海鹰一个激灵醒过来，睁眼看着他，问：“怎么了？” 男人指了指墙上的红字“静”。 于海鹰看了一眼，歉意地笑了笑，说：“我刚才是不是打呼了？” 男人笑着点了点头：“怎么样，当爹不容易吧？” 于海鹰点点头，说：“真是不养儿不知父母恩啊！” 男人：“小崽子们还没出来，我们就开始孝敬他们了，谁知道以后都是什么东西呢。” 这时于海鹰的手机响了，他按了接听，说：“噢是政委啊，……还没生呢……什么？……是吗？”将信将疑地挂上电话，起身向走廊跑去。 男人莫名其妙地看着于海鹰问：“咋了？” 于海鹰：“喜讯，天大的喜讯！” 于海鹰说完，飞奔而去。 医生值班室内，两个女护士正端着饭盒吃米粉。于海鹰匆匆进来，劈头就问：“电视，同志有电视吗？” 护士：“干嘛？” 于海鹰：“有重要新闻，麻烦借个光看看！” 护士用手一指：“看吧，在那儿呢。” 于海鹰跑过去打开电视机，调到金澜一台。电视里正播放着一条新闻，有陈副市长表弟自首的画面。 于海鹰仔细看着。 播音员的声音：“……在机场开车撞死执勤武警的交通肇事案原来另有隐情，事隔三年后，真正的凶手昨天晚上到市公安局投案自首。那么，为什么有人愿意当替罪羊？为什么犯罪分子逃脱三年后又突然投案自首？这里面有什么内幕呢？详情请接着收看明天的深度报道……” 于海鹰还愣在电视机前，走廊上传来一名护士的喊声：“谁是乔红的家属？” 于海鹰还没回过神来。 护士继续喊着：“谁叫于海鹰？” “我是，我是！” 于海鹰突然醒过神来，跑到门口，正好与喊叫的护士碰面。 于海鹰：“怎么了？我叫于海鹰。” 护士：“你老婆生了。” 于海鹰惊喜地：“生了！” 护士：“是个男孩。” 于海鹰猛地冲出门去。 于海鹰跑到产房门口，正好产房的门被猛地推开，一道强烈的光从门内射了出来，同时传来婴儿一声响亮的啼哭。 悲喜交加的于海鹰突然流下了两行热泪。 林阿水的事，总算水落石出了，于海鹰他们又来到了林阿水的墓前，算是给死去的英雄有了一个交待。 林阿山把一束鲜花放在林阿水墓前。 于海鹰、陆涛、肖明亮等众人默立在墓前，脱下军帽，用默哀的方式，告慰英灵。 回来的路上，于海鹰和肖明亮同坐一辆车。车行驶在海边的公路上。 于海鹰问：“政委，他怎么突然会自首了呢？” 肖明亮：“是陈副市长劝他自首的，而且还亲自把他表弟送到了公安局。” 于海鹰抬头看着肖明亮。 于海鹰：“陈副市长怎么知道了这件事儿？” 肖明亮：“是我告诉他的。” 于海鹰非常吃惊地望着肖明亮。 肖明亮：“怎么？感到意外吧。” Yu Haiying nodded. 肖明亮：“海鹰啊，咱们和陈然相处也不是一天两天了，我对他比较了解，他为人正派，知书达理，能分得清轻重。现在的确有很多人不值得我们信任，但是我们没有理由不信任所有的人。这个社会如果没有了信任，我们还有勇气面对未来吗？” 于海鹰若有所思地点点头，看着窗外美仑美奂的风景，他心里陡然升起了一丝惭愧…… 这几天，支队捷报频传，由于在犯人大转移中表现突出，林阿山被保送上了军校。 走的那天，几辆车鱼贯而入开进了码头，于海鹰、肖明亮、吴成钢、张武等走下车来，他们都来为林阿山送别。 林阿山手里拎着行李，上前跟众人告别。 肖明亮叮嘱他说：“小林，到了学院好好学，这个专业可是未来部队的急需啊，以后的战争是高科技的战争，就靠你们了。” 林阿山坚定地说：“我决不辜负首长对我的期望。” The whistle sounded. 于海鹰说：“上船吧，小林。” 林阿山点点头眼圈红了，他饱含热泪向首长和战友们敬了一个标准的军礼。 汽笛长鸣，船驶向了蔚蓝色的大海。 于海鹰和肖明亮向远处挥着手。 一个少校走过来报告：“政委，刚才值班室呼叫，总队命令我支队团以上干部，今晚10点前到总队参加紧急会议。” 肖明亮：“什么内容说了吗？” 少校：“传达中央军委重要文件。” 肖明亮抬手看了看表，时间不多了，他和于海鹰相视一眼，立即登车，汽车飞驰而去。
