Chapter 451: National interests are above all else

Cheng Zhijin couldn't figure it out. Suddenly, he felt like there was a huge net around him, airtight. He couldn't breathe. He felt like he was being monitored everywhere. Suddenly, he shuddered.

He got up early the next day and put his hands in his sleeves. He wanted to go out before Guan Wenxiu got up. No matter where he went, as long as his mother didn't see the injury on his hand and worry about him, it didn't matter.

Besides, he had something on his mind, so he had to think about it carefully.

But before he could leave, he was caught by Guan Wenxiu. It was the New Year, and the family had to prepare a lot of New Year goods. They had to wait until the New Year to prepare everything they needed, otherwise they would not be able to bring out a decent gift when they visited relatives and friends.

Cheng Weimin went to accompany an old friend from his hometown last night and drank a lot of wine. He hadn't gotten up yet. She originally wanted to go to the state-owned hotel at the street corner to buy some breakfast and come back, and grab some fresh meat, eggs and vegetables. Unexpectedly, she saw her eldest son sneaking out just after she got the basket.

"Ajin, where are you going so early? Didn't you say you weren't going out today?"

We had clearly agreed last night that he wanted to sleep in, so she didn't wake him up. Why did this child get up so early?

Cheng Zhijin's body froze, and he hurriedly said, "Mom, I just remembered it later. I have something to do today. I won't eat at home at noon. I have to go to my classmate's house. Don't wait for me!"

He ran out as he said that. Guan Wenxiu called him several times from behind, but he didn't turn back.

Guan Wenxiu frowned, and then thought about rushing to grab vegetables, and went to the market with a basket on her shoulder.

On the bleak streets, fallen leaves covered the ground. Occasionally, a few pedestrians passed by, but they also walked hurriedly. The north wind was howling, blowing Cheng Zhijin's neck. He felt a little unbearable after walking for a while. When he turned around, he happened to meet someone's eyes, and the person quickly turned his head.

A very ordinary face, as if they had met by accident.

But Cheng Zhijin still felt that this person was a little unusual, and that look was indeed strategic, not like an accidental sight.

This made Cheng Zhijin's back sweat.

For a moment, he didn't know where to go. He opened his mouth and blew a breath of hot air on his hands, rubbed them vigorously, and walked to the entrance of an alley with his hands in his pockets.

When he turned in, he suddenly saw three big characters written on the wall: "Ji Shui Lane". He was stunned, and a warm little face appeared in his mind. Cheng Zhijin turned his head and looked behind him, then continued to walk forward.

There are many small alleys in Shangjing, which are connected together in a winding way. This is the characteristic of this city. The old imperial city has many courtyards and alleys. People who are not familiar with it can easily get lost.

Cheng Zhijin is not from Shangjing and is not familiar with the terrain of Shangjing.

But Xu Huaisheng is familiar with it. When he is not in class, he takes Cheng Zhijin to wander in the alleys and street corners of Shangjing, especially the man's home. He deliberately takes him to walk several different roads. The man is a person who does not show his presence.

Since Xu Huaisheng knew that the man knew him, he tried to get close to him. It was just a chance meeting, and he did not want to disturb him.

Now he encountered a problem and wanted to ask for help.
