Chapter 183 Biting the Hook

"Good morning."

Chen Ling sat down on a stone chair in the courtyard. He naturally took the newspaper that Chu Muyun was reading and flipped through it casually.

Chu Muyun looked at him with empty hands and said helplessly: "Can't you buy one yourself?"

"I don't have any money."

As Chen Ling spoke, his eyes swept through every article on it.

After two days, there were fewer and fewer articles about him and the train entering the city in the newspaper. Most of the articles on the page were entertainment articles, such as a famous female singer who was exposed to be the mistress of another chamber of commerce boss, or a middle school where the contradiction between teachers and students expanded, causing dissatisfaction among parents, etc.

Chen Ling flipped through it for more than ten seconds, but didn't see any useful news, so he could only put it back on the table.

Without Wen Shilin, this newspaper is really not worth reading.

"Do you need me to lend you some money?" Chu Muyun thought for a moment, "Without money, some things are really hard to do."

"No, someone will send me my salary soon."

Hearing this, Chu Muyun was slightly startled, and he said in surprise: "Send you your salary? What job have you found? You can't really become a reporter, right?"

It has only been two days since Chen Ling entered Aurora City, and the idea of ​​becoming a reporter even came to her yesterday morning. In one day, she couldn't even submit a resume to the newspaper.

"Not yet." Chen Ling glanced at the time, "But he should be here soon..."

"Who?"

"Wen Shilin."

"Wen Shilin? That stubborn reporter?" Chu Muyun couldn't help asking, "What kind of magic potion did you give him in one day?"

Chen Ling smiled but said nothing.

Knock knock knock——

A slightly hurried knock on the door sounded.

Chen Ling and Chu Muyun looked at the door at the same time, and then looked at each other. Chu Muyun's expression was a little strange.

"Don't tell me he's here now."

"Don't believe me? Let's make a bet?"

"What do you bet on?"

"One gold coin."

"Okay, deal."

Chu Muyun stood up and walked to the door. He didn't rush to open the door, but asked calmly, "Who?"

"Hello, Doctor Chu, I'm Wen Shilin, a reporter from the Aurora Daily."

Hearing this, Chu Muyun knew that his money was wasted, but he still didn't understand how Chen Ling made Wen Shilin so attentive?

"Reporter?" Chu Muyun paused for a moment, "I don't remember making an appointment with a reporter today, and it's a bit too early now."

"I'm very sorry, but I'm here to find your caregiver Lin Yan... He left some things with me, and I want to give them to him in person."

Lin Yan...

The moment this name sounded, Chu Muyun seemed to think of something and looked back at Chen Ling.

"...Okay, come in."

Chu Muyun opened the door and saw a reporter in plain clothes standing outside the door, holding a document bag under his arm. His dark circles looked like a panda, but his eyes were bright and he looked very excited.

"Nice to meet you, Dr. Chu." Wen Shilin took the initiative to extend his hand.

Chu Muyun shook his hand politely. He turned his head and said, "He's right there. Just go... Okay?"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Muyun froze in his place... Chen Ling, who was reading the newspaper leisurely a second ago, was sitting there weakly without knowing when, with bandages all over his body and plaster on his hands. A bleak cold wind blew through the courtyard. The haggard figure stared at the rockery in the distance, his eyes lonely and melancholy.

Chu Muyun's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't know what Chen Ling was acting out.

On the other hand, Wen Shilin saw this scene with sympathy and guilt in his eyes. He was silent for a long time at the door and walked straight towards Chen Ling.

"Lin Yan..." Wen Shilin called softly to the figure that was like a sculpture in a trance.

Chen Ling's body was shocked. He turned his head and saw Wen Shilin, with a flash of surprise on his face, "Mr. Wen? Why are you here?"

"I came to give you something." Wen Shilin put the file bag on the table, "You left too hastily yesterday, I picked it up for you, but it should be too chaotic when you escaped, this thing is a little broken, I checked it, the key files are still there."

Chen Ling's expression was a little complicated, and he nodded slightly, "Okay, thank you."

After saying that, he retracted his gaze and sat there alone in silence, as if he didn't want to pay attention to Wen Shilin anymore.

The courtyard suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Chu Muyun leaned against the door and pushed the glasses on his nose. Although he didn't understand what happened between the two, it didn't prevent him from being a spectator. His eyes were full of curiosity and playfulness.

Finally, Wen Shilin couldn't help it. He sat down on the stone chair in front of Chen Ling and pondered for a moment.

"Lin Yan, who is the boy in the photo?"

Chen Ling's pupils shrank slightly, and he turned back to look at Wen Shilin.

"Don't get me wrong." Wen Shilin said immediately, "The bottom of the file bag is damaged, and the photo floated out by itself... If it offends you, you don't have to say it, but you know, I'm a reporter, maybe I can help you."

Although Wen Shilin said "You don't have to tell me", his face was almost full of the words "I want to know". He leaned forward slightly and waited for Chen Ling's answer seriously.

Chen Ling looked at him for a long time, his expression relaxed a little, and after hesitation, he slowly spoke:

"He... is my younger brother."

"Brother." Wen Shilin nodded. He had guessed this possibility last night, "But you don't look like him?"

"He is not my biological brother." Chen Ling's eyes were filled with memories. "I went to the seven districts with Dr. Chu to conduct free medical consultations and saved a child from the second district. The child had a pitiful life, but was very sensible. I saw that he had no one to rely on, so I took him in for a while."

"Later, after the free medical consultation, Dr. Chu and I returned to Aurora City. The child had no identity to enter the city, so we left him some money and let him live a good life... The child and I got along very well. Later, we often exchanged letters. He recognized me as his brother, so he was naturally my younger brother."

Wen Shilin looked back at Chu Muyun in confusion.

Chu Muyun didn't expect that he would be involved in this. He pushed his glasses silently, "Yes, he is a good kid."

Wen Shilin continued to ask, "What does the sentence behind it mean?"

"... His heart was taken away."

Chen Ling seemed to recall some painful memories, "About half a year ago, my brother lost contact. I was in poor health and had no time to leave the city, so I asked Dr. Chu to go to District 2 for me. As a result, I only found his body."

"There is no heart in the body?" Wen Shilin immediately said, "It should be organ trading? I have interviewed residents in District 3. The law enforcement in the seven districts is extremely low. There are many such things. District 3 is still good... There seems to be a place called Bingquan Street in District 2, which is very rampant in this regard."
