At seven o 'clock in the morning, Cheng Jiu had just finished his meal in the cafeteria when he received a notice from his superiors that a mission was to be carried out. Xiao Shi, Jiang Yang and three other people went on the mission together.
Cheng Jiu didn't sleep all night last night and didn't feel sleepy at all. His energy was astonishingly good. However, when he was in the car, he still closed his eyes and rested for a while.
They received the news that the men of Yu Tou had appeared in a nearby inn. Yu Tou was now locked up. His men, without their leader, were running around like headless flies. When they ran out of money, they would rob and commit crimes everywhere. Among them was a man named Ji Bai, who was the target of Cheng Jiu's mission this time.
Xiao Shi noticed that Cheng Jiu was particularly serious today, not saying a word of nonsense. Moreover, he exuded a terrifying aura. He didn't dare to speak out of the blue. Instead, after Cheng Jiu explained the details of the operation, it was Jiang Yang who moved closer to him and quietly asked, "What's wrong with Brother Jiu today? Do you look so angry?"
Xiao Shi said, "I don't know what's wrong with Brother Jiu either. If you ask me, I don't know who to ask either."
Before they could exchange a few words, Cheng Jiu looked over and they immediately shut up.
If it's in private, Cheng Jiu doesn't care what they talk about, but when it comes to actions, Cheng Jiu always demands strictness and doesn't want them to underestimate any action.
...
Xin Gan is still stranded at the airport. Last night, due to the weather conditions, the flight was cancelled and it's even unknown when it will take off. There's no news from the airline either.
Xin Gan stayed up all night at the airport and was on the verge of giving up. So she dozed off in a chair for a while. After waking up, she sent a text message to Shen Ruxin, telling her that the flight was delayed and she couldn't leave today.
The phone ran out of power and shut down before the text message was sent.
Xin Gan tried to charge the power bank, but it wasn't fully charged either. She felt a bit unlucky and sighed. She decided to first ask the airline staff about the flight situation before making a decision.
Shen Ruxin couldn't get in touch with Xin Gan here. She was worried that something was wrong with her and was so anxious that she couldn't sit still. She was also afraid to tell Xin's mother and make her worried. After much thought, she felt that it would be better to ask Cheng Jiu for help. Besides, she had Cheng Jiu's contact information. So she made a call to Cheng Jiu's mobile phone.
Shen Ruxin had no idea what Cheng Jiu was up to at the moment. After he picked up the phone, she hurriedly told her identity and said, "Xin Gan's phone is turned off and I can't get in touch with her. Her flight last night was cancelled due to bad weather. I don't know what's going on now. Could you help look for her?"
Shen Ruxin was a little worried that he wouldn't help. After all, Beiyu was no small place, and Xin Gan was alone there, which made her very uneasy.
She was also so anxious that she fainted, forgetting Xin Gan's experience of living abroad for so many years.
Cheng asked, "When did you fail to get in touch?"
It's been almost an hour. If she had found a place to borrow a charger, it should have been charged by now, but it's still turned off. I'm worried that something bad might happen to a girl like her.
Shen Ruxin wasn't worrying unnecessarily. It was better to be safe than sorry. She would rather make a fuss and ask Cheng Jiu to help find someone than have Xin Gan hit the mark.
In case something happens, where will the whole family cry then?
Cheng Jiu immediately agreed and said, "OK, I understand."
Immediately after, Shen Ruxin heard gunshots from Cheng Jiu's side. She thought she had misheard them and before she could react, Cheng Jiu immediately said, "Sorry, I still have something to do here. I'll hang up for now."
Shen Ruxin was walking around the house. When Coco woke up, she looked for her and asked innocently, "Where's Auntie, Mom? Why hasn't Auntie come back yet?"
"Coco, Auntie's flight has been delayed. She might not be back so soon."
Coco pouted and said aggrievedly, "Mom was lying. Auntie said she would come back today, but she's lying again!"
Shen Ruxin was in a state of turmoil. On one hand, she was worried about Xin Gan, and on the other hand, she had to comfort Ke Ke. She was so frustrated.
She could only pin her hopes on Cheng Jiu and make sure nothing went wrong.
...
There has been no news from the airport for a long time, saying that they are not sure about the weather conditions and when the flight can take off again. Xin Gan couldn't hold on any longer because she stayed up late last night and her face started to be allergic again. So she cancelled her ticket and went to a small hotel near the airport to rest for a while first.
The hotel conditions near the airport are much better than those in the town. They are also rated as four-star hotels and are excellent in all aspects.
As soon as she entered the hotel, Xin Gan immediately plugged in her mobile phone to charge it. She also went to wash her face and applied medicine after washing it.
The phone could be turned on. She immediately called Shen Ruxin. On the other end, Shen Ruxin felt relieved upon hearing her voice and said, "You scared me to death. I thought something had happened over there."
Xin Gan said, "It's okay. My phone ran out of power and shut down. I forgot to fully charge the power bank last night."
So where are you now?
In the hotel near the airport, the flight has been cancelled. We don't know when it will take off again. It might not be until tomorrow afternoon.
The weather on Beiyu Island is unpredictable. Due to the weather, not only flights to Yongcheng have been cancelled, but also flights from other places to Beiyu Island have been affected.
Shen Ruxin said, "When you are alone outside, you must pay attention to your safety. I just saw the news yesterday that another girl was cheated when she went out by herself. It's so sad. No matter what happens, your safety comes first. Be extremely vigilant."
"Ok, cousin, don't worry. I'll take good care of myself."
Shen Ruxin sighed and quickly drank a glass of water. "By the way, did Cheng Jiu go to see you?"
What did he come to me for?
I couldn't get in touch with you this morning. I was afraid something might happen to you, so I called him and asked him to help find you.
"..." Xin Gan was stunned for a moment and said, "I just turned on my phone and haven't received a call from him. Let me tell him."
Shen Ruxin said, "OK."
When Xin Gan dialed Cheng Jiu's mobile phone number, she was very hesitant. She waited for a long time before getting through, but the call was hung up.
She was stunned for a moment, with countless reasons flashing through her mind. She felt that she should still tell him and dialed the second number, but the result was the same as the first one, both being hung up.
Perhaps I'm busy with something and it's not convenient to answer.
Thinking like this, Xin Gan sent a text message.
...
In the North District Hospital, Jiang Yang, holding Cheng Jiu's mobile phone, was hesitating whether to call back or not. He saw that the note on the phone showed Xin Gan's name, so he knew it was Xin Gan calling. But he hung up. He also saw the text message Xin Gan sent, and only then did he know that Xin Gan was leaving. As a result, the flight was cancelled and she was still in Beiyu.
Jiang Yang immediately told Jiang Tang, and Jiang Tang replied that they would come to the hospital right away.
Xiao Shi suddenly saw Jiang Yang lost in thought, patted him on the shoulder and asked, "What are you doing?" Where is Brother Jiu? Are you awake?
Jiang Yang was startled. Coming to his senses, he quickly hid his phone behind him and said rather awkwardly, "No, nothing. Why did you suddenly pat me on the shoulder and scare me?"
Xiao Shi: "Why do you look so guilty? I'm asking you. Has Brother Jiu woken up?"
Not yet. The doctor hasn't come out yet.
Xiao Shi's eyes turned red as he said, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't gone alone to chase after Ji Bai, Brother Jiu wouldn't have been betrayed for protecting me."
It's not your fault. Who could have predicted this? Jiang Yang comforted him.
When they arrived at the place in the morning to catch Ji Bai, they didn't expect to be ambushed. Ji Bai, one of Yu Tou's former subordinates, wasn't a vegetarian either; otherwise, he wouldn't have been caught so late. He was very good at dodging, very vigilant, and even had decent skills.
In fact, quite a few of them went this time. They even called for support later, but there was no choice. They still fell short by a bit and let Ji Bai run away.
Xiao Shi blamed himself and felt guilty, not knowing when Cheng Jiu would wake up.
Jiang Yang took Cheng Jiu's mobile phone but didn't return it immediately. After Jiang Tang arrived at the hospital, he secretly gave the phone to her and said, "Brother Jiu isn't awake yet. That Xin Gan sent a text message. I think she seems to be leaving Beiyu."
"Leaving North Island?" Jiang Tang didn't care about Cheng Jiu but asked about Xin Gan's matter.
Yes, it was said that the flight was cancelled and we found a hotel to stay at near the airport.
Jiang Tang hummed in agreement and said, "Got it. Alright, pretend not to know about this and pretend not to have seen the text message."
"Ok, I see."
Has Cheng Jiu woken up? What did the doctor say? How's the situation?
Jiang Yang sighed, "She's still awake. We have no idea what's going on. Xiaoshi is still waiting at the door of the ward. I made an excuse to go to the bathroom and slipped out. You and I'll go in separately later to avoid Xiaoshi's suspicion."
Jiang Tang couldn't help getting anxious. "OK."
When the old lingdao from the hospital area got the news that Cheng Jiu was injured and hospitalized, he came to visit him. However, he was still awake.
lingdao was also anxious. Cheng Jiu had been promoted by them all by themselves and they just didn't want anything bad to happen to him.
Finally, I went to ask the doctor. The doctor said there was nothing serious. It was just a sudden fainting due to a head impact. I would be hospitalized for a few days for observation to see what was going on. If there was nothing serious, I could be discharged.
As for Xin Gan, she knew nothing about Cheng Jiu's situation.
Cheng Jiu woke up at night. The first person he saw upon waking was Jiang Tang. He was stunned for a moment, his face turning cold, and asked, "Why are you here?"
