Chapter Ninety-Seven: Li Wei is saved, and Pete appears again
"Vicky, Vicky"
Li Wei dimly heard someone calling her name, the voice was not Pete's, frowned, and tried to open her eyes.
Linuo looked at her happily, "Xiaowei, are you awake?"
"Sister Linuo, I'm not dreaming," Li Wei was also surprised, and immediately wanted to sit up and pull the other party's hand.
Linuo hurriedly helped her lie down, "It's me, Xiaowei, you didn't dream, you're in the hospital now"
Li Wei went to see the facilities in the room, which was a neat and bright single room, with a needle pierced on the back of her hand and hanging water.
She breathed a sigh of relief, "It's so unreal these days"
Suddenly thinking of something, she asked nervously: "Sister Linuo, what about Pete, does Pete have any news?"
Linuo shook his head first, and then asked, "Xiaowei, what happened to you these days, why did you have a car accident, and the surveillance data shows that you are with Pete." ”
Li Wei didn't want to say that it was Pete who imprisoned her, but turned her head sideways and said: "The two trucks hit us left and right, and they couldn't dodge and hit the one in front of us, and we finally escaped from the car, and someone came over and thought that Pete hit them with a pistol." ”
"Well, those people are not life-threatening, and they will be taken to the police station when they are discharged from the hospital. Xiaowei, do you know where Pete has gone?" asked Linuo.
Li Wei shook her head and said, "I don't know, he let me go." I wanted to go to the neighborhood for help, but I didn't see him when I came back."
Then, she grabbed Linuo again and asked nervously: "Sister Linuo, will the police arrest him?"
Linuo was silent for a while, and then decided to tell the truth to Li Wei, who had just woken up: "Xiaowei, now he shot and injured someone, although it is self-defense, but holding a gun privately also needs to be investigated, and, you"
Away from Norton, "You've been with him these days, the police will think that he has something to do with the kidnapping case, he imprisoned you or you and he have something to do with the kidnapping case Xiaowei, you must tell the truth, otherwise you yourself will be involved." ”
There was no reaction for a long time, Li Wei felt tired, her eyes looked at the ceiling, and she said helplessly: "Can you only hand over the whole thing to the police, Pete, does he still have a chance to reform himself?"
"Alas, Vicky. Lino sighed.
The news of Li Wei's awakening was transmitted to the police, and Zhang Xiao came to question non-stop.
He has been very much used by the police department lately, and has played a pivotal role in various affairs.
Although it was an investigation and questioning, in fact, Zhang Xiao knew in his heart that all he wanted to ask was why Li Wei fell in love with Pete.
"Feng Tuo and I told you at the time to stay away from Pete, he would probably hurt you. ”
In the ward, Zhang Xiao stood beside the bed and said to Li Wei very seriously.
"You"
Recalling that conversation, Li Wei was full of worry about Pete between the lines.
"Why are you still with Pete," Zhang Xiao finally asked.
Li Wei looked at Zhang Xiao and felt a little bitter.
"Last time I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't, I"
She shook her head and said, "I just want him not to continue to hurt more people, I want to give him a chance to mend his ways, but"
But people like him, once they have a goal, they don't change it easily. Li Wei, I can understand what you are thinking, but it turns out that your ideas and practices are wrong, and in the end, you were hurt in this matter. Zhang Xiao said very seriously.
Li Wei lowered her eyes, as if she was accepting Zhang Xiao's words.
"Can you provide any information about Pete?" Zhang Xiao softened her tone and asked instead.
Li Wei thought sideways for a while, and said, "I don't know, I don't even know where I was during this time, and I don't know where Pete is now." If I knew, I would go to him. ”
Zhang Xiao sighed, put away the record book, and said, "Okay, I already know the situation, you have a good rest, remember that if Pete contacts you later, you must tell the police in time, he is now a wanted criminal." ”
Li Wei nodded, didn't speak again, stared out the window, as if thinking about something.
Li Wei's health was fine, and she was able to be discharged after two days of observation in the hospital.
"Xiaowei, do you want to come to our house for a few days in the past two days" Li Nuo asked while helping Li Wei tidy up, she has been here to take care of Li Wei for the past few days.
Li Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't bother you, Sister Linuo, I'll go home by myself."
"There's nothing to bother, Xiaowei, I don't worry about you going home alone, it's better to go to us for a few days first." You can also skip going to the company and rest at home. Linuo arranged everything for her very intimately.
Inviting Li Wei to live at home was the result of discussions between Linuo and Feng Tuo, thinking that she had just been rescued from the Pete incident, maybe it was not the safest choice for her to live alone at this time.
And if Li Wei is asked to live with them, and Pete contacts her, they will be able to find out the clues as soon as possible.
Li Wei thought about it and didn't refuse.
She really didn't want to be alone now, so she nodded and said, "Thank you, Sister Linuo." ”
Linuo smiled and said, "Let's go with something to thank us, the rooms at home have been cleaned up for you." ”
That feeling made Li Wei feel that Linuo really regarded her as a very good friend.
For the next few days, Li Wei lived peacefully in the house away from Novonto, and during the day, when the two of them went out to school and work, Li Wei stayed at home with her grandmother, and at night they would have a small "family gathering".
It's just that under this superficial harmony, there are always hidden invisible bombs such as "where has Pete gone" and "what will he do next".
That night, Li Wei was getting ready to go to bed when she suddenly received a text message from an unfamiliar number.
"I'll be waiting for you tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon. ”
A simple sentence, maybe it was just a mistake, but it made Li Wei nervous instantly.
She immediately dialed the number, but was not answered three times.
Then she sent another text message.
"Who are you?"
"Pete"
"What's the matter?"
No response has been received for a long time.
Li Wei held the phone and bit her lip, not knowing whether to tell Linuo or not.
"Pete"
Eventually, she made the decision to delete the text messages, close her eyes and fall asleep as if nothing had happened.
She decides to go to meet Pete alone, and this may be the last chance.
The next day, under the pretext of wanting to go out to buy something, Li Wei asked Linuo to invite Sister Wang, who had been taking care of her grandmother, to take care of her grandmother, and she went out with Linuo, who was going to class, at two o'clock.
"It's good to breathe more fresh air, it's good for physical and mental health," Linuo said to Li Wei, "Then let's meet here at six o'clock, I'll invite you to have a big meal, I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time." ”
Li Wei smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Linuo." ”
The two of them said goodbye to each other, not far apart, and dialed Feng Tuo's phone from Linuo, "Xiaowei asked to go out today, it is estimated that it is"
Feng Tuo said on the other end of the phone: "We have monitored her mobile phone in real time and found that she received an anonymous text message, which was available at the time and place, and that person asked Li Wei to meet." ”
"Is it Pete?" asked Linuo.
Feng Tuo said: "It's not certain for the time being, but the biggest possibility right now is Pete." ”
"That me"
Before Linuo's words were finished, Feng Tuo interrupted her and said, "You go to your class well, and leave the rest to us." ”
Feng Tuo didn't want to let Linuo get involved in this matter anymore, and he couldn't let her suffer any more dangers.
On Li Wei's side, she walked outside for an hour, and arrived at the place agreed on the text message on time at three o'clock.
She went out of her way to buy some first aid supplies and some quick food in case Pete needed something urgently.
But she waited for half an hour, but no one showed up.
Li Wei was about to take out her mobile phone to send a text message to that number, but received a new message.
"The location was changed to the road. ”
That section of the road was not far from this side, Li Wei frowned, and turned to that side.
In the middle, you need to pass through a small alley, and there are people living on both sides of the alley, which is very old Hutong-like style.
Li Wei walked into this alley where there was no one else, and halfway through the journey, a family next to her suddenly opened the door and pulled her in.
She subconsciously wanted to scream, but her mouth was covered.
Pete pressed his forehead against hers and whispered, "Don't make a sound." ”
Li Wei's eyes widened in surprise and looked at Pete in disbelief.
I haven't seen him for a few days, he looks a lot thinner, and he is much haggard, I don't think he has had a good rest.
After waiting for a while, Pete let go of his hand, pulled Li Wei inside, looked at her and asked, "Did you buy it for me?"
Li Wei came back to her senses, clenched the bag in her hand, and nodded: "I bought it for you, but do you want to turn yourself in?"
Pete looked at her meaningfully and asked, "Don't you think you're so conflicted, baby?"
"What"
"While buying me something, he persuaded me to turn myself in. Pete said.
Li Wei also knew her contradictions, she said eagerly: "You are already a wanted criminal by the police, but they are now mainly investigating your private possession of a gun, and they don't have any conclusive evidence about the kidnapping case."
"Are you trying to exonerate me" Pete looked at Li Wei, "If they asked, if they had imprisoned you during this time, would you have appeared in court to commit perjury for me?"
Li Wei was silent.
Although she loves Pete, she can't violate her moral bottom line because of this love.
She thinks Pete deserves the punishment he deserves, but she wants to make it as light as possible so that he doesn't have no chance at all.
Pete looked at Li Wei like this, his eyes darkened, but then he smiled, and didn't let her find anything.
He turned to take Li Wei into his arms and said, "You don't have to commit perjury for me, I won't be caught by them." Baby, I just miss you so much that I want to see you. ”
This sentence may not be true, but it hit the softest place in Li Wei's heart at once.
She closed her eyes, her nose ached, she let go of the bag in her hand, and put her hands on Pete's shoulders.
"Are you better?" asked Li Wei in a low voice.
"It's much better, I have a friend who has been helping me recently, baby, have you told anyone about me asking you to meet" Pete rubbed Li Wei's hair and asked casually.
Li Wei shook her head, "I didn't, Pete." The reason why I came alone is to take this opportunity to persuade you to turn back, maybe there is still a chance to mend your ways."
Pete smiled nonchalantly, "I don't think I've done anything wrong, I'm just doing what I've been trying to do for so many years." ”
Hearing this, Li Wei knew that maybe Pete would never listen to him, he would continue to do his own thing, and he would continue to hurt Nuo Fengtuo and them.
What should I do then?
Li Wei was a little tired, and hugged Pete harder.
Pete whispered in her ear, "Baby, if you come to see me alone, aren't you afraid that I will imprison you again?"
"Boss, we lost people, it should be in the alley between the C road and the road"
Feng Tuo frowned, "I know, next time I must follow closely, he will definitely appear again." ”
At six o'clock in the evening, Linuo came to the place where he was separated in the afternoon, and saw Li Wei with his head down at a glance.
"Xiaowei" she smiled and walked over quickly, "Have you waited for a long time?"
Li Wei raised her head and glanced at Linuo, shook her head and said, "No, I just came here not long ago."
Linuo stared at Li Wei for a while, "I think your face is so bad, did something happen, went buy something this afternoon?"
Li Wei's face was really bad, and she looked like she had suffered a big blow, and she had become a little cabbage after the frost.
"Sister Linuo"
As soon as she spoke, she almost cried.
Linuo hurriedly patted her on the back and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Li Wei just shook her head, her face full of pain and tangled.
Linuo thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "Is Xiaowei related to Pete?"
As if being hit, Li Wei sighed deeply and recalled what happened at that time.
As soon as Pete said that, she instantly sensed that what he said meant meant something.
But when she looked back at Pete again, he put away his somewhat creepy-sounding tone, and instead looked at Li Wei with tenderness and expectation.
He said, "Baby, I'm not going to give up what I'm going to do, and I'll hurt anyone you care about." You can choose to betray me and tell them where I am, or you can choose to just watch in silence."
