A person's greatest bankruptcy is despair, and his greatest asset is hope. - Shu Yue.

What is the best way to destroy a person's will? Not physical torture, not verbal insults, but letting him destroy the things he cares about most with his own hands.

Everyone grows up in a different environment and has different experiences, and the things they care about are also different. Some people care about material things, some people care about spiritual things, and most people care about the people and things around them.

What does Xu Lang care about most? When he was a child, he cared about his family, so his parents passed away. When he grew up, he cared about his sister and grandmother, so they were also killed. When he became a policeman, he cared about the police profession, and then,

He was suspended. He once cared about many things, family, love, friendship, career, faith... However, these things all left him one by one. Who destroyed it? 'Master Chang'.

When the police interrogate criminal suspects, they often start by overcoming the other party's psychological defenses. Evidence, witnesses, testimonies, etc., will become the straw that breaks their life, causing them to collapse and asking them to take the initiative to explain their problems. There is a saying that goes well.

, move with emotion and understand with reason, this is a method often used by the police when handling cases.

What did Xu Lang care about eight years ago? He probably cared about a lot, such as the Second Criminal Investigation Team, Shu Yue, and Xu Wei, and most of these people have left him. Eight years later, what does Xu Lang care about most?

?

The reputation of the detective? The chair under his butt? No, there is only one person he cares about most, his only relative, his only daughter Xiao Yueyue.

Of course, in addition to Xiao Yueyue, Xu Lang actually also cares about many things, such as the CSY Criminal Investigation Team, the Special Intelligence Bureau, Ning Yanran, Ye Xuefei, Ye Du, Ding Haoqiong... these people in the past

In more than a year and a half, Xu Lang gained a lot and lost a lot. What is left for him now? It seems like there is nothing left.

The CSY criminal investigation team was disbanded, Ning Yanran betrayed, Ye Xuefei was seriously injured, Ye Du disappeared, Ding Haoqiong was investigated, Tian Yongchun died, he is now a Class A wanted criminal wanted by the Secret Service and the police.

He has fallen from a policeman to a criminal, and even Xiao Yueyue, whom he cares about most, is not with him at the moment.

What did Xu Lang do? He did nothing, what did he lose? He lost everything, yes, he has nothing now, including family, love, friendship, fame, rights, and even faith.

Is Xu Lang afraid of death?

Afraid, but not afraid. There is no one who is not afraid of death. An ant can still survive, let alone a human being. However, is Xu Lang really afraid of death? In fact, he is not afraid. He has been in the police for so many years, and he has been on the front line many times.

Faced with the most dangerous situation and the most dangerous situation, Xu Lang probably couldn't even remember how many times he was injured while performing his mission. He couldn't even remember how many times his life hung by a thread.

If you take off Xu Lang's clothes, you will find that there are scars all over his body. These scars can prove everything better than medals, medals, and certificates. However, what is their use at this time?

The real despair is not in facing difficulties, but in seeing hope, and then hope is shattered. This is even more desperate than despair without hope.

Xu Lang woke up faintly again.

Where is he? What is he doing? What happened?

Xu Lang opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling above his head. He didn't know anything. He didn't want to know, so what could he do if he knew?

Closing his eyes, the scenes he saw before he fell into coma reappeared in his mind. Tian Yongchun, the explosion of the Secret Service's secret stronghold, fireballs, thick smoke... When I saw all that, the emotions that came to me instantly

The great sorrow and anger swallowed up his heart completely in an instant, as if someone had cut it with a knife. The despair and powerlessness almost gnawed away his soul.

In the past, Xu Lang has been fighting against the people of the 'Master Chang' organization, but now, he has fallen into the hands of the people of the 'Master Chang' organization. Isn't it enough that he personally arrested members of the organization? It's a lot, if it is

In other organizations, Xu Lang has already died countless times at this moment, but now, he is not dead, he is still alive, yes, he is still alive, and it is more painful than death.

For so many years as a police officer, Xu Lang has been criticized, punished, suspended, and investigated. However, he has never betrayed because everyone believes in him and believes that he will not betray the organization or the country.

And Xu Lang did it. He may not be a good policeman, a good husband, or even a good father, but he is a good person, a good person who defends justice, and now?

If Cao Sizhe's case was just the beginning, then the 7.1 case was a trigger, and now Tian Yongchun's death and the destruction of the Secret Service's secret stronghold in S City have pushed Xu Lang into the abyss.

What did Xu Lang do? He did nothing. Cao Sizhe's death had nothing to do with him, Zhang Ruide's death had nothing to do with him, Tian Yongchun's death had nothing to do with him, and the destruction of the Secret Service's secret stronghold had nothing to do with him.

He has nothing to do with it. However, in everyone's eyes, these are all related to Xu Lang. Lu Kunpeng said that Tian Yongchun was killed by Xu Lang. Although Xu Lang did nothing, but Tian Yongchun died, then everyone

Everyone will think that he killed Tian Yongchun and that Xu Lang destroyed the Secret Service's secret stronghold.

The truth, what you think is the truth is often an illusion that can no longer be false, what you think is

What you see may be the side that others only want you to see.

Once, Xu Lang said that any excuse, any reason, and any words seemed so feeble in front of the corpse, but now, this sentence finally fell on Xu Lang himself, which was ridiculous and extremely ironic.

"woke up?"

A familiar voice came to his ears. Xu Lang slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person. It was Ning Yanran.

Xu Lang didn't speak, he just looked at Ning Yanran quietly, just looking at him without any expression on his face.

What is the most impressive thing about Xu Lang? Perhaps, to some women, it is his handsome appearance, perhaps, to his team members, it is his sharp thinking and keen sense of smell, perhaps, to those who care about

As a person, it was his always positive, cheerful and optimistic attitude. However, what impressed Ning Yanran the most? It was Xu Lang's deep eyes.

A person can be ugly or handsome in appearance, but is Xu Lang very handsome?

He is indeed handsome, but how handsome? Not very handsome. In the eyes of some people, Xu Lang's appearance is just ordinary, but Xu Lang has never cared about his appearance. Eighty or nine years ago, Xu Lang was a

He was a very slovenly person, but now, although he has changed a lot, he is only a little more refined.

Why do many people feel more confident when they see Xu Lang? Is it because of his temperament? His appearance? His abilities? Maybe, but certainly not many, but Xu Lang's eyes, the deep eyes

His eyes always make people believe him subconsciously the first time they see him, but now?

The eyes that were once bright and deep are now gray and turbid.

Xu Lang, who is in his thirties, has experienced nirvana many times, at the age of five, fifteen, twenty-seven, and thirty-three. Each painful experience caused Xu Lang to suffer a great blow. However, he

His eyes had never been dim before, but this time, the light in his eyes finally went out. Yes, at this moment, Xu Lang was as if he was walking in a dark abyss, completely losing his direction.

Ning Yanran stared into Xu Lang's eyes, feeling extremely heartbroken and distressed. She had known Xu Lang for almost ten years, and she had never seen Xu Lang like this. She had never seen Xu Lang's fragility, even if he

He was seriously injured and lying on the hospital bed. As long as he still had breath, everyone was full of confidence. However, now? He is really fragile, just like a porcelain full of cracks. It will break with a slight touch.

.

"Why?"

I don't know how long it took, but Xu Lang finally spoke. His voice was low and hoarse, like fingernails scratching glass, which made people's hair stand on end.

Why? Was he asking why Ning Yanran betrayed? Or was he asking Lu Kunpeng why he killed Tian Yongchun and destroyed the secret stronghold? Or why he wanted him to lose everything he cared about? Maybe both.

"Everyone has a bitter and unbearable past." Ning Yanran said softly.

Xu Lang didn't speak, he just looked at Ning Yanran quietly, neither sad nor happy, extremely calm, or in other words, extremely desperate.

"Want to hear my story?" Ning Yanran asked.

Silence, the response to Ning Yanran was still silence.

"You should know that I have claustrophobia. When you were a criminal investigation consultant, we once solved a secret room murder case. At that time, you should have known that, but do you know why?"

"In the eyes of all of you, I have a good background and a good family background. My father is a cadre and I have a bright future. I am also a policeman and the captain of the Second Criminal Investigation Team. I later became the deputy director of the S City Public Security Bureau.

Maybe, I am the youngest deputy director among everyone, but for me, I would rather be an auxiliary police officer than have these."

"Xu Lang, before I met you, I didn't know you. After I met you, I gradually understood that you have nightmares. Because of your family's affairs and those truths, you often have nightmares. You are unfortunate, and you have nightmares.

Fortunately, unfortunately, your family has encountered many disasters, which made people extremely painful. Fortunately, you have someone to accompany you, and someone has been helping you silently. Shu Yue is a good girl and a great woman.

She loves you very much. For you, she is willing to sacrifice everything, including her life. Of course, you also love her very much. Really, I envy you and I am jealous of you. Sometimes I even hate you. You have a painful past.

, so do I.”

"Maybe all of you don't know that I disappeared for a period of time more than 20 years ago. At that time, I was only eight years old."

"At that time, my father was not working in the Provincial Public Security Department. He was just the deputy director of a small branch. I was taken away by someone in the countryside. Everyone would be afraid of unfamiliar environments because they were unfamiliar.

Because of the unknown, I was afraid, and the people who took me away were people from the 'Master Chang' organization. I was brought here and locked in a small and dark room for three full months."

When Xu Lang heard this, his expression changed slightly, but it was just a slight change.

"If an adult is imprisoned in such an environment, he will go crazy, let alone me who was only eight years old at the time. At first, I prayed and hoped that my father could save me and the police uncle could save me. However, when I waited

Day after day, I despaired, they didn't

Come on, I'm still in that room. In the past, my father taught me that if anything happens in the future, you should go to the police uncles, because they will help you. The teacher also once said, if anything happens, go to the police uncles, Xu Lang

, you are about the same age as me, you should know a children's song."

"I found a penny on the side of the road,

Give it to the police uncle,

Uncle took the money,

Nod to me,

I said happily,

Goodbye uncle."

"When I was a child, I really did this, so I was praised by my teachers, parents and relatives. I was very happy. In my opinion, the police are the greatest and most powerful people in the world. However, when

When I was in deep despair, I prayed and looked forward to them falling from the sky, but they didn't come, only one person came, Chang Hongji."

"He was the one who took me away at that time, and he was also the one who released me later. Logically speaking, I should hate him, but I couldn't, because when I was most desperate and painful, he was the one who gave me life.

A ray of light came to me, and I was free. I returned to my parents, and I went to class and studied as before. However, my heart began to die slowly from that time on, and gradually became darker."

When Ning Yanran said this, she laughed, her smile was very sad, and tears burst out of her eyes and fell on the cold ground.

"If you tell me, you may not believe it. I have been missing for three months and imprisoned for three months. My family actually doesn't know. They even never know that I have left. Isn't it ridiculous? Haha...

..”

Xu Lang remained silent.
