After exhausting myself to death

The road is lined with petals and leaves.

Autumn always makes people feel lonely. Shen Minghuan stood silently under a tree, with yellow leaves falling and brushing his clothes. He slightly raised his head and looked at the distant sky, wondering what he was thinking.

This picture looks a bit desolate, especially since this person has a harmless face, which makes people feel soft-hearted.

However, the three soldiers around him who were pointing guns at him were obviously very hard-hearted. Their eyes were alert and they warned fiercely: "Stay back a little more and don't move!"

Usually no one comes to this trail, it can only lead to one place - China's military base in Tong County.

A long time ago, people would accidentally get lost here, and the soldiers would pretend to be passing by, and then helpfully send those who strayed here back.

At first, when Shen Minghuan appeared in the sight of the soldiers, they thought that someone had finally lost their way after many years, and they were preparing to repeat the same trick.

But if you look closely, you will find that there is no trace of panic or confusion on this man's face, and his steps are too firm. He clearly came with a purpose.

Most soldiers don't know Shen Minghuan exists, let alone what he looks like.

A "visitor" who came alone suddenly appeared at the always-secret base address. This incident seemed suspicious.

If Shen Minghuan hadn't been calm from beginning to end and cooperative in answering all questions, he might not have stood around waiting now.

"Ming Huan." Gu Wenjing came over in a hurry, "Why don't you go in? No, Fang Peng didn't follow you? How did he become a security guard!"

Professor Gu blew his beard and stared, Shen Minghuan smiled and said gently: "I have something else to ask him for help, I don't blame him."

"You have such a bad temper..." Gu Wenjing hated that iron is not as strong as iron. "It's not good to be too easy to get along with. You will be bullied when you go out. Don't stop me when the time comes. I will punish Fang Peng."

No big deal is as important as Shen Minghuan's safety.

The soldiers saw the two of them talking happily, looked at each other, and put away their guns in embarrassment.

Everyone knew Gu Wenjing, and Fang Peng was a comrade they knew well. Having Fang Peng work as a guard for him would at least prove that Shen Minghuan was not an enemy member with evil intentions.

"Comrade, I'm sorry just now. Were you not scared?" the soldier asked apologetically.

Shen Minghuan shook his head, "You also act according to the regulations, as you should."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Wenjing and said, "Professor Gu, I came here specifically to see you. Is it convenient now?"

"Convenient and convenient." This was the first time Shen Minghuan came to him. Gu Wenjing said with a smile: "Go in first and let's chat slowly. Minghuan, you haven't been here before, right? I'll introduce it to you."

"Ah, still not."

Shen Minghuan's smile was gentle and warm, full of bookishness. He looked soft and soft, as if there was no edge at all, but there was an undoubted firmness in his gentleness. "The scenery here is not bad, can you walk with me?" ?”

This sounded like he wanted to clear the place. Zhang Jingchang took a step back and said, "Teacher, I'm waiting for you here."

"I..." Xu Yi was hesitant. As a dedicated and dedicated security guard, in such a wilderness, it stands to reason that he should never leave.

Shen Minghuan smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter. We can come together. It's not a shameful thing to say."

He is really gentle and considerate, and he seems to always be able to detect the difficulties that others cannot put into words, and then calmly provide solutions and silently take care of everyone's feelings.

It is undoubtedly very pleasant to get along with such a person, but it is a bit sad to put such comprehensiveness in a talented young man.

Gu Wenjing gave him a complicated look and took the lead in silence.

"Professor Gu." Shen Minghuan didn't look at him and said as he walked, "I heard that Country M is willing to send back all of our country's scientific research talents, but only on my condition, right?"

Gu Wenjing paused and asked in a stern tone: "Who told you?"

This harshness was not directed at Shen Minghuan. Professor Gu frowned. He couldn't think of anyone who knew about this matter who would tell Shen Minghuan about it. Wasn't this embarrassing this person in vain? Moral kidnapping?

"I have my channels."

Of course, Admiral Rice told him, partly to reassure him and partly to show off Country M's heritage and efficiency.

Shen Minghuan smiled: "I think you can agree, Professor."

"Don't worry about this matter." Gu Wenjing flatly refused, "Just take care of yourself. You don't need to worry about this matter."

He raised his head and looked directly into Shen Minghuan's eyes: "We will find a way to save the person. You don't need to wrong yourself. This is not your obligation. Do you understand?"

Shen Minghuan frowned: "I don't think this is a grievance. Professor, I am sure that I can protect myself even in country M. Even Pei Shu has been holding on for two years. It's time for me to be replaced."

"It's nonsense, how can it be compared like this?"

Gu Wenjing's attitude was firm: "This matter is non-negotiable. Even if I agree, your teacher will not agree. Ming Huan, I can promise you anything else, but not this."

Zhang Jingchang and Xu Yi also looked disapproving, as if he was an unreasonable child.

Shen Minghuan's expression was a little tangled, as if he had been convinced, and his attitude softened a little, "Okay..."

He sighed: "Actually, I'm just here to tell you that I'm safe. If I still go to country M, don't worry too much."

After saying that, seeing the angry looks on Gu Wenjing and others' faces, Shen Minghuan quickly made amends: "I don't intend to do anything stupid, just in case. It's just a hypothesis. There's always a possibility, right?"

Shen Minghuan originally wanted to find an opportunity to throw himself into the trap. After all, he was very interested in his missiles that were temporarily stored in country M.

But Admiral Rice was too confident in his promise to him. Shen Minghuan was a little curious about his confidence, so he decided to wait and see for the time being.

Gu Wenjing laughed angrily: "So you don't let Fang Peng follow you and you don't want to enter the base. Do you think we will worry about you snitching? Do you think there are things in it that you shouldn't see and shouldn't know? Do you think we will because of this?" Not letting you go to country M?”

"Shen Minghuan, Shen Minghuan, who do you think I, Gu Wenjing, am!"

Shen Minghuan was silent for a moment, as if he didn't know where the other party's resentment came from. He listened honestly, then struggled for a moment, and said softly: "I'm sorry."

Gu Wenjing was so angry that he stamped his feet on the spot. He snorted twice, "Does the apology have to be sincere? If you come back to Kyoto with me tomorrow, I will forgive you."

Shen Minghuan thought for a moment, and to Gu Wenjing's surprise nodded, "Okay, I'll go back with you."

He was so straightforward that Gu Wenjing was surprised: "Did I hear you right? Did you agree?"

Shen Minghuan was even more surprised: "You didn't say you wanted to apologize..."

He looked at Gu Wenjing's face getting darker and darker and wisely closed his mouth.

Unexpectedly, this person could actually take his obviously joking content seriously. Gu Wenjing said viciously: "Shen Minghuan, one code is the same. Don't even think about exchanging yourself with Country M. Let me tell you, I can't do this. , can agree!”

Shen Minghuan opened his mouth, clearly wanting to say something, but he still closed it obediently, but there was still an accusation against Gu Wenjing for going back on his word on his face.

Gu Wenjing should have been angry, but when he saw the confusion and confusion on Shen Minghuan's face, he suddenly felt sour.

He tried his best to say calmly: "You don't have to go back to Kyoto if you don't want to. There is no need to force yourself. Ming Huan, I am not negotiating terms with you."

He turned his head and said, "Maybe you don't realize how important you are, then let me tell you, you are the Ziwei star we have been waiting for for so long. Even if it is for China, please pay more attention to yourself."

He thought that Shen Minghuan had pretended to be ordinary for so long, and it seemed that he had some misunderstandings about himself.

Shen Minghuan was silent for a moment and asked softly: "But, don't you miss Pei Shu?"

Pei Shu...

Gu Wenjing frowned and asked seriously: "Don't you believe me? Pei Shu is important, and so are you. You are even more important than us."

"I know."

Shen Minghuan smiled and repeated, "I know."

Because of this, because I know my abilities, I am even more obligated, right?

Gu Wenjing miraculously understood what this man meant, and suddenly felt a headache.

Either they feel that they are insignificant and can be given up, or they feel that the greater their abilities, the greater their responsibilities, so they are unshirkable, as if they can always find a reason.

Gu Wenjing sighed. The worst he could do was have someone follow Shen Minghuan around the clock and keep a close eye on him to prevent him from doing anything stupid.

While Gu Wenjing was worried, Jiang Li still sighed at the hung up phone.

"When will Ming Huan come back? If he doesn't come back, my student will be abducted by Old Man Gu! Ji Wangchen, have you found the thief?"

Ji Wangchen glanced at him and said calmly: "Everyone you can come into contact with, including drivers, cleaners, and all staff of the research institute, has been screened again."

"Is there any result?"

"We did catch a few people with evil intentions, but they were all quite inconsequential. Nothing of value was reported."

"Ah?" Jiang Li took a big sip of tea, "So I still haven't found it?"

Ji Wangchen said calmly: "Yes, there are still a few people who need to be investigated carefully."

"Then check, Ji Wangchen, what are you hesitating about? Who are those people, and are there others you dare not check?" Jiang Li said teasingly.

Ji Wangchen also took a sip of water, "For example, Zhang Jingchang next to Gu Wenjing."

And Du Xingwei beside Jiang Li.

The smile on Jiang Li's face froze for a moment, and he quickly pretended to be nonchalant, "Then check."

He knew that since Ji Wangchen would say this, he had obviously discovered something suspicious. His disciple, Eighth Grade, had quite a secret.

Jiang Li originally thought he would be sad, but his first thought turned out to be: His student caused Gu Wenjing's student to get trapped in Country M. How will he face him in the future?

The second thought was that given his trust in Du Xingwei over the years and Du Xingwei's popularity among his peers, it was no wonder that Shen Minghuan was so desperate that he chose to leave Kyoto.

After these two thoughts receded, the bitterness spread layer by layer.

why? Jiang Li couldn't figure it out.
