The person who contacts you the most often is also the person who knows you the most.
Hu Xianzhi guessed Wu Yong's idea as soon as he thought about it.
A bold idea appeared in Zhao Lanxiang's heart.
Wu Yong dared to touch Sister He in this neighborhood probably because he had stared at her for a while. According to his thinking, the next step was to plant it on Teacher Gu?
If Teacher Gu died, then the messy corruption case of the terrace project money would end forever.
Because the two engineers related to the project are already in prison, the remaining one, Hu Xianzhi, has a good relationship with him. If in her previous life He Songbai did not kill Wu Yong by mistake, she thinks the result may be that Wu Yong took this huge amount of money from the embezzlement and made a fortune. Then he would live an excellent life as a man.
Gu Huaijin died unjustly, and the He family was shrouded in grief. Not only could Wu Yong take revenge on He Songbai for ruining his deed in the cornfield, but he could also erase the threat to himself forever.
She couldn't help but take a deep breath. She found that his adventurous and radical idea was really possible. However, he was too arrogant and confident, so he left a lot of clues. This is true in his previous life, and this is also true in this life.
Zhao Lanxiang said, "Hu Xianzhi, take the money tomorrow and go to the police station to report the crime. Let's go and get Teacher Gu back."
...
The next day, they went to X university again. On the one hand, they continued to search for clues. On the other hand, they looked for Teacher Gu's whereabouts and told him the good news.
Gu Huaijin is now in the principal's office, and the two were talking.
Gu Huaijin said, "I know, thank you."
Principal Fu said, "You don't blame yourself. It's because you have no way to know... If you don't feel good about it, it would be better if you are willing to stay in the big X. Your talents and experience are a precious treasure. I don't want you to go to the dead end. Leave this matter to the school. I believe there will be results soon."
Before Gu Huaijin had time to say anything, He Songbai knocked on the door and waved to Gu Huaijin.
He said, "The lost project money was found--"
Gu Huaijin also said, "Last night, a female student exposed Wu Yong's crime to the teacher, and they reported it."
Their news caused each other to fall into shock and silence.
Teacher Gu's news is really not good news. He Songbai, who heard the news, was in a complicated mood because it means there is one more person that was attacked by Wu Yong. This news cannot make people feel good. Instead, the news of He Songbai made Teacher Gu's heart shrouded in haze.
He overjoyed and asked, "Where is it?"
He Songbai was silent for a moment and said, "Hu Xianzhi dug it in the bullpen."
The color on Teacher Gu's face faded, and he looked like wilted eggplant. This news might as well not come!
Isn't this proofing his crime of embezzlement?
Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help but pinch He Songbai, she said to comfort him, "But Hu Xianzhi recognized the box and the lock. He had seen Wu Yong bought it. Teacher Gu, you can rest assured that Hu Xianzhi is sorting out clues.
This sentence saved Teacher Gu's heart. He glared at He Songbai angrily, "You kid, really want to scare an old man."
"This is progress. After so long, I finally see a little hope." Teacher Gu said excitedly.
After a long period of turbidity in his chest, he could finally spit it out. Last year, he lived in a bullpen under injustice. For a whole year, he has been actively sorting clues, looking for stolen money, and begging the public security bureau to reverse the case. But suffering from no evidence, he has been suffering under labor reforms and unknown grievances.
He also suffered from the contempt of others.
In the end, there was no real proof that there was embezzlement for this project. However, some information about the wind and the shadows directed Gu Huaijin, and Gu Huaijin became the suspect. This made Gu Huaijin, who was innocent for most of his life, uncomfortable. It also affected his son Gu Shuoming's career in the army. Because of the title of a son of a corrupt person, he missed many good opportunities.
In the final analysis, the case affected his son and his family. This disgraceful accusation is the most serious scar in Gu Huaijin's heart.
Gu Huaijin laughed, placed the palm of his hand on his head, and said, "Go and report!"
He Songbai, Zhao Lanxiang, Gu Huaijin, Hu Xianzhi, and the teachers of University X went to the police station together. They told the public security bureau the clues one by one. It involved last year's major security accident, so the police in City N has established a team to conduct an in-depth investigation.
In addition, the crime of rape is also very serious. According to the clues provided, the police have recorded the statements from Pan Yu, He Songye, Li Dali, Jiang Li, Zhao Lanxiang, and the X university female student who did not wish to be named. It was conclusive evidence. The police confirmed the case and formally arrested Wu Yong.
...
Although the result of Wu Yong's trial has not yet come out, under the circumstances of him accumulating multiple crimes and having all the evidence, if Wu Yong is not shot, he had to sit in prison for a long time. After five days of cooperating with the case, Zhao Lanxiang finally returned to the countryside.
She looked at the bright spring light in Hezi village, squatting on the hillside, watching the brigade members working diligently on their own farmland, watching them pulled the plow on their shoulders, turning the ground shallowly and plowing deeply.
He Songbai ate breakfast made by his sister. He took out sweet corn on the cob and handed it to his girlfriend.
Zhao Lanxiang didn't want his sweet corn. She pushed him to eat it.
"You eat it. I'm full."
She asked him, "I have forgotten to ask you after so long. Has your admission letter arrived?"
He Songbai thought for a while and said, "I have no admission letter... Teacher Gu asked me to report directly."
"Is it T university?" Zhao Lanxiang asked.
"Yes, there is no other school willing to accept me other than T university." He Songbai said that although the secretary asked him to wait patiently for the news, he knew the result. First of all, his background was indeed disgraceful, and secondly, the enrollment of colleges and universities also ended. In addition, he can also try his luck in X university or foreign schools which are willing to accept him. Otherwise, it is difficult.
When Zhao Lanxiang heard this, a stone in her heart finally fell steadily.
That's great. He can go to T.
She stretched her shoulders and sniffed the fresh air in the countryside—the smell of mud. She listened to the sound of spring gurgling in her ears, the occasional chirping of magpies, and the dull sound of plowing on the ground.
She thought that the purpose of her rebirth had mostly been reached.
The man, who whispered to her in the middle of the night about how poor and desolate he was at that time, and how she would not take a glance at him on the road, has now transformed into a bright and ambitious young man.
And she also fulfilled the promise she once made. She never broke it.
Now she is going to fulfill the promises she made and put the last strong lock on his stable future...
Zhao Lanxiang said, "You have always said you will send flowers to me. Spring is here. You haven't sent flowers to me this year."
He Songbai smiled. He did not expect his girlfriend to mention this suddenly.
He said, "It is not so difficult. I will bring you a bunch tomorrow."
Zhao Lanxiang asked him again, "Will you go to the pig farm tomorrow?"
"No, I'm afraid that the public security bureau will be watching. Li Zhong and I will not go to the pig farm for a while."
Zhao Lanxiang heard the words and pulled down the petals of wildflowers in her hand. She smiled and said, "Well... Since you don't have to work tomorrow and you're free now, go and pick flowers for me."
"I want you to see the first bunch of flowers we see on the mountain road passing by the pig farm."
The plants and trees there are familiar to Zhao Lanxiang. In the past, for more than 400 days, they have witnessed them riding bicycles and singing songs in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Those plants have witnessed their green and sweet young love. On the wind-shrinking and chilling days, he had warm and broad shoulders. On the hot summer days, there was crystal sweat that dripped down of his side profile.
Purple twigs are chattering with wild camellias, spring bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and fungus that Zhao Lanxiang likes on the mountain road with nine bends and eighteen tunes. There should be a cluster of bright, orange, pink, and pink camellia, covered in the mountains and cliffs, gorgeous and beautiful in spring.
They are like the most faithful tokens, silently exposing He Songbai's humble love.
He Songbai said, "No problem. You kiss me first, and I will go."
He leaned over and bowing his head, sneaking up to her lips.
Zhao Lanxiang thought about the hot tears in her eyes that she almost could not hold back. She turned her head to hug his shoulder and kissed gently in his ear.
"Go. I'll wait for you." She said.
She watched He Songbai happily go home and fetch the bicycle. His legs swayed and passed in front of her. He turned back and grinned at her, as happy as a child.
...
After she coaxed away He Songbai, Zhao Lanxiang returned to her room. She took out the luggage she had already prepared and looked at the scene in the room with nostalgia. In just two years, this place is full of her memories. He Songbai's shadow was left everywhere.
When he first confirmed their relationship, it was because she threatened him and kissed him.
At that time, in rage, he made a promise that he said always valid to her.
When they just came back from the S city, he said to her here, "This woman is so stupid."
He stupidly and richly redeemed her radio and watch.
When they reviewed middle school knowledge here, the table always has his shadow writing questions. That day, he easily wrote ten test papers and asked her for six kisses.
He was intimate with her for the first time here. He was so happy and inexperienced, but he was excited for a long time.
And... countless nights before his departure, he came here to tuck her in the quilt.
Scene by scene, vividly remembered.
Zhao Lanxiang dragged his suitcase, put down a letter, and walked out without looking back. She was sitting in a bullock cart and watched the familiar scenery of Hezi village receding from her sight. The tears she shed subconsciously spilled down her cheeks and could not be wiped.

The brigade member on the bullock cart asked her, "Oh, going college, but not happy yet? Not willing to let us go?"
"Don't cry, what a beautiful girl! It's not good to cry too much. This is a happy event. If you don't want to leave Hezi village, just come to have fun on vacation. We welcome you in this village!
The enthusiastic member handed her a batch of freshly picked spring tea. The tea from the tender shoots was fresh and sweet, full of spring flavor.
The places in Qinghe County where no fruit trees can be planted and no terraces can be cultivated now overgrown with tea trees. It is said to be a new batch of farming projects made by the government. Everything is booming, with a prelude to reform and opening up...
The enthusiastic member said, "Which bus are you catching? Hurry up. I won't make you late."
"Good." Zhao Lanxiang said with difficulty.
The scenery reversed quickly, and she took the shuttle bus to the county in the morning, where Jiang Jianjun, who was wearing a pine tree green coat, was waiting for her. The morning fog wet his pants.
He said, "I thought you were not coming."
Zhao Lanxiang did not speak. He took the luggage in her hand and took the bus with her to the airport.
...
With a sweet kiss from the subject, He Songbai warmly picked the first flower he saw on the way back at the fastest speed of his life.
It took him about half an hour to ride until he saw the brightly blooming camellia on the hillside, clusters of pink and white, innocent like a hydrangea, with dewdrops in the morning.
He took the effort of nine cows and two tigers to pick it up. He thought that if his girlfriend saw it, she would have a bright expression in front of him. His heart warmed uncontrollably, and he smiled heartily.
He placed the flower in his arms with care, afraid that his coat would crumple it, he took care of it carefully. His footsteps could not help but slow down. But when he returned to the place where they had just met, she was not there.
He Songbai thought that the sun was starting to feel hot, and she might hide from it and go home.
He put the bicycle with great interest and strode towards her room in a stride. He pushed open the door, and her warm fragrance struck him quietly. It was a very light gardenia scent.
"Not here." He murmured.
Maybe she is in the kitchen.
However, at the moment when he turned around, he was cautiously sensitive. He found that some of her belonging were gone. He froze in place, his gaze falling on the white letter on the table.
He Songbai's lips filled with a faint smile quietly faded. He tore open the envelope.
"Dear Brother Bai. Thank you for your companionship for two years. The days with you are very good, but today, I am leaving. Thousands of miles to build long sheds, the world is full of banquets. Do you still remember the fourth girl of Uncle De's house? At that time, you once promised me a wish that would last forever. Now allow me to fulfill my wish to you. Our story is over. I hope you will not come to me again."

"Study well and be positive. Take care of yourself. Eat properly and wear warm. Use your enthusiasm to bring happiness and joy to the person you love. On February 18, 1978, Lanxiang."
At this moment, He Songbai felt as if he was suffering from a great hit in his head. The blooming light pink camellia clutched in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, falling and hitting his feet.
He pinched the thin paper with his fingers, almost making a hole.
He roared, his teeth clenched, and he grabbed the door. But after a few meters, he turned back and picked up the camellia that fell to the ground. He Songbai took the bicycle, exhausted all his strength, and rode tirelessly, following her footsteps.
At this moment, a lot of information appeared in his mind. One frame after another flashed slowly.
That afternoon she squatted alone on the hill behind her room and watched the sunset.
That day her expression of silence.
She had the patience to do everything she could with him when they went to X university and the police station as if she had done everything she could do for him in one lifetime.
And when she asked him about university just now, her face was finally relieved. Like she was finally relieved of her burden and happy.
He Songbai's face grew heavier, he stepped on the bicycle pedal like crazy, and the wheels rolled like a whirlwind, chasing the car all the way.
He thought that he must catch up with her in his life, and he must chase her back even if he lost his life.
He has missed the clues, but God must let him catch up with her.
He Songbai stepped on the pedal more and more anxiously. The bicycle wheels were almost overwhelmed, the chain snapped with a click, the huge inertia threw him out, and he fell as hard as the first day he rode a bicycle.
He was lying on the ground and fell into a daze. He took a deep breath and took a long time to stand up.
He crouched down to repair the bicycle chain with his hands. He spent two years with this Phoenix bike that accompanied him under the sun and rain. But today, it turned silently and withstood the cruel fall of its life. The bicycle chain was engaged again. He Songbai rode on it again and stepped on its pedal hard. His injured leg slowly shed blood.
He thought he had to catch up with her.
