"Zhan Chao, do you know?" Linda hesitated for a moment, but still asked Shen Ling how she handled it.

Shen Ling shook his head: "I haven't told him yet." I didn't go home, Hu Man booked me a hotel, she stayed in Shanghai, I arrived yesterday, and I didn't dare to go home, I could only come to you, Hu Man said help me find evidence. Shen Ling's voice was hoarse, with a crying voice, and his speech was incoherent.

Linda looked at Shen Ling, she had obviously cleaned her body, but she was afraid, more than once, did she call the police, where is there any evidence.

She sat in the chair weakly and angrily, looking at Shen Ling who was still trembling, she couldn't just forget it, Linda thought, this matter will pass like this, pretend that nothing has happened, but Shen Ling thinks so.

When they looked at each other, they both understood each other's thoughts, and they both shook their heads, saying that they disagreed with each other, and the key was to see what Hu Man could bring back.

Linda stood up, took out a cashmere square scarf from the cabinet, and wrapped Shen Ling in it, Shen Ling pulled the square scarf and wrapped himself tightly in it.

"Have you taken any medicine?" Linda said with difficulty, Shen Ling's body stiffened and shook his head. Linda gritted her teeth and said: "Let's go to the hospital first, let's go now, although I don't know who it is, but I have to protect you first, in case there are any problems and hidden dangers, I have time to deal with them." ”

Shen Ling's body softened, tears couldn't stop flowing, she choked up intermittently and said, "Linda, it's good to have you, otherwise I don't know what to do." ”

Linda took a deep look at her, knowing that she and her experiences were different, their beliefs were different, and their choices were different, which was also normal. But she couldn't help but say, "I still think it's right to call the police." ”

Shen Ling shook her head, she didn't dare to take risks, she couldn't afford to gamble, she wasn't brave enough, and she wasn't strong enough.

They didn't wait for Hu Man, Linda took Shen Ling directly to the hospital, for Shen Ling's privacy, Linda took her to the best private hospital in Linhai and hung up the best expert outpatient clinic.

The doctor is the retired chief physician of the city's women and children, an old aunt, hearing Linda say that she should do HIV and other related diseases tested, the elderly gynecologist frowned, shook his head, and looked at Shen Ling with a disapproving face, and even when he did the examination, the old doctor's attitude was a little cold, and he was not very good at showing disgust.

Linda couldn't bear it, so she took advantage of Shen Ling sorting out her clothes inside the curtain, and came over and explained softly to the doctor: "She didn't do it voluntarily. The old doctor was stunned, and then nodded clearly: "Then you should call the police." Linda quickly answered: "So I need your test results today." ”

The old doctor frowned and opened a whole set of tests, Linda took it, basically everything that needed to be tested was tested, she was grateful, and thanked her repeatedly.

The old doctor shook his head: "Now girls, don't you know how to protect yourself?" Linda didn't dare to answer, she saw Shen Ling coming out from behind the curtain, afraid that Shen Ling would hear it, so she hurriedly went up and took Shen Ling to do an examination.

Of course, she didn't dare to let Shen Ling hear these whispered words with the doctor, for fear of increasing her psychological burden.

Shen Ling was silent all the way, and Zhan Chao called several times in the middle to ask her when she would go home, she prevaricated, and Zhan Chao sent a WeChat message to Linda and asked where Shen Ling was.

Linda showed Shen Ling her phone and said, "You still have to think about how to tell him." Shen Ling continued to be silent, she could choose not to pursue it and not call the police, but in front of Zhan Chao, she didn't have the slightest possibility of prevaricating, and she still had to tell him in the end.

At Shen Ling's insistence, Linda gave Zhan Chao a reply, and turned around and said. There is time for these five words, and there is also time to tell Zhan Chao Shen Ling's whereabouts, isn't it?

The silence, the heavy silence, the unbearable silence, was finally broken by Hu Man's phone call.

When they were waiting for the results after drawing blood, Hu Man's phone called, Shen Ling looked at the phone as if looking at a bomb, she didn't know how to face Hu Man's investigation results.

The phone kept ringing, and it kept ringing.

Linda picked it up and stepped aside, avoiding the patients in the waiting area, even if there were only a few of them, she had to protect Shen Ling's privacy.

As soon as Hu Man heard Linda's voice, he began to complain: "If you come together, it may be fine." Linda said angrily: "I said that something would happen, but you always don't listen, this kind of thing should have been pushed away a long time ago." ”

Hu Man also knew that he blamed Linda for dumping the pot, and his tone softened: "It's not easy to investigate, I went to the bar to adjust the monitoring, the box where Shen Ling had an accident was not set by us, the bar said that the box monitoring was broken, and I couldn't see it." ”

Linda said coldly: "Where is such a coincidence, are they trying to absolve themselves of responsibility?"

Hu Man paused, and then said: "I think so too, I found the old man Gao, who is familiar with the people over there, and copied all the surveillance during that time period." ”

"How is it?" Linda asked in a low and nervous voice, the information revealed by her tense body made Shen Ling, who was in the waiting area, look very desperate.

"It's not good, there's surveillance, but it's bad, the whole picture is black, you can't see anything. Hu Man sighed, if there is no monitoring, Shen Ling doesn't remember, then even if he calls the police, how can he investigate?

"Is there no other way?" asked Linda.

Hu Man hesitated for a moment before he said, "I can hear the voice." She hurriedly added, "But I can't hear who it is." Linda gritted her teeth and said, "I'll listen to the exam." Hu Man said yes and hung up. Her WeChat chased over: "Go back and talk in detail, appease Shen Ling first." ”

Linda was so angry that she grabbed her hair, when her good friend encountered such a thing, there was no evidence, how could she not let her out of anger, she walked back to Shen Ling's side and whispered: "There is no surveillance, Hu Man is back." ”

Shen Ling's tense body relaxed all of a sudden, she was actually very afraid of being well documented, she had to check, she was afraid that she had to stand under everyone's gaze, accept everyone's fingers, and even slut humiliation, she was not brave enough to know how to face such a thing, especially behind this matter, and what would happen in the next many years.

Shen Ling looked at Linda beside her, it would be nice if she was half as strong as Linda, she didn't know that Linda, who seemed indestructible, also had a fragile past.

Linda looked at her with a complicated mood, wanting to persuade, but it was difficult to speak, many times, the pain was not on herself, no matter how she persuaded or comforted, she was itching through her boots, and she didn't have back pain when she stood and talked.

The old doctor helped them vigorously, and they needed to wait for the next day's report, and the results came out before the end of work, and there were many items in the test list, but the most important ones were all negative, and Linda was greatly relieved.

They walked briskly back to the old doctor's office, who had stayed behind to wait for them.

"It's all negative, there is no big problem, open a little Yuting for a while, and have a good rest. The old doctor pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and squinted at the test sheet in his hand.

"It's no big deal, you go behind the curtain and wait for a while, and I'll explain a few words to your friend. The old doctor took Shen Ling away, and she whispered to Linda: "Although HIV is negative, you see, a blood test found that a sedative had been used. She looked Linda in the eye, "Do you know what I mean?"

Linda clenched her fists and said angrily, "I understand what you mean, but she doesn't want to call the police, and I can't help it." ”

The old doctor sighed understandingly, as a doctor, she had seen too many patients like this, and it took a lot of courage to really stand up and tell everyone what had happened.

And if the person concerned chooses to be silent, whoever tries to persuade her to stand up is a secondary injury, and those victims who bravely stand in front of everyone are so brave and worthy of admiration, and those who accuse them are so dirty and unbearable in their hearts.

After all, she wants to live her life by dying of thirst, and no one can fight for her, if she doesn't want to, no one can force her.

"You analyze and analyze with her, it seems that this kind of person has been committing crimes for more than a day or two, and if he is caught a day earlier, one less person will be victimized. The old doctor said no more.

She walked into the curtain, told Shen Ling a few words, and let her go, and when she got to the car, Linda took the water and let Shen Ling eat Yuting, and let her take the rest back.

"Are you going to Hu Man's place, or are you going back?" Zhan Chao have you figured out what to say?" Although Linda didn't want to add to her troubles, she still had to know where to go before she started.

"Go to Hu Man's house. Shen Ling said: "I don't know how to face Zhan Chao, and I also checked out of the hotel." ”

"Perhaps, it would be better to tell him the truth. Linda said softly, the old doctor's words lingering in her ears, she couldn't help it, and wanted to go to Hu Man's house to discuss it again.

Hu Man rushed back from Shanghai, not so fast, she sent the door password to Linda through WeChat, asking them to rest in the house and wait for her.

Hu Man is a firm unmarried, in the small Linhai, she is an outlier, always talked about behind the back of those people in the company, she has no shortage of suitors, but they don't get along for long, either scared away by her unmarriage, or, is simply an idle flirtatious and ambiguous person.

She lives alone in a big house, empty, and the colors are very simple, which is very much in line with her style.

Shen Ling didn't have the heart to visit Hu Man's house, she sat on the sofa in a daze, her eyes were blank, she didn't know where the focus had gone, Linda repeatedly weighed the doctor's words in her heart, and couldn't make up her mind whether to talk to Shen Ling first.

At this time, Zhan Chao's WeChat video call rang, and the person who was supposed to arrive home yesterday has not arrived home now, and there is no explanation, Zhan Chao is in a hurry to find her everywhere.

Linda looked at Shen Ling and asked her what to do with her eyes, Shen Ling slowly picked up her phone, pinched out the video request, and replied with two words: "Meeting".
