Chapter 41: Scarlet
I got out of the company and got in the car, ready to go to W Hotel to accompany Xie Yuhan to the afternoon tea party. Today she invited a VS Angel Wings baby (VS chief model) who has just returned from New York to develop. Xie Yuhan plans to communicate with her first and then see if she is suitable to be the cover model for the next issue.
The taxi driver is a Jay Chou fan, and his headphones, which have a radio effect that is about the same as nothing, let me enjoy the benefits of riding in the car.
"I want to have a helicopter, I want to fly to the universe with you, I want to melt with you, melt into the galaxy, I think about you every day, every day...... The cute woman who is transparent and moves me, the cute woman who makes me crazy ......" I listened to this song that many boys like, and I was a little envious of Dong Chou's "lovely woman". When will the people I care about go crazy for me?
"Buzz" My phone rang twice. At this time, send me WeChat? It can't be Xie Yuhan urging me, right? Thinking of this, I reluctantly took out my mobile phone from my bag.
An unread message from ...... Everlasting rainforest?!
I seem to hear my heart jumping up and cheering, and when I land, I stumbled and my feet wailed! He has been "pretending to be dead" for more than a month, and he hasn't even updated his circle of friends! However, his circle of friends seems to have never been updated, because he hasn't posted a single one at all!
Almost with a trembling hand, he opened WeChat.
There was only one short line-- "I'll go back to China next month and look for you." "Still, it's enough to keep me on the fly. I stared at my phone all the way, trying to figure out how to respond to his message with enthusiasm and grace.
"Is it okay to stop this?" the driver interrupted my thoughts.
"Uh-huh!" I was so happy that I didn't even realize that the car had arrived at the hotel door.
I quickly paid and got out of the car and went straight to the top floor of the hotel. Looking at the time, Xie Yuhan should be on the other side of the pool at this time. I scanned the information about the afternoon tea party in my hand from the beginning before entering the swimming hall, ready to see how Xie Yuhan was feeling, and if it was good, I would discuss the content of the next tea party with her, and by the way, close the relationship with her.
The swimming pool of the hotel is not as good as the real professional venue outside, it is generally smaller, but it is better than the number of people. But today, it's a little too quiet inside. As I walked through the hallway, I felt something was wrong, and when I got inside, there was no one.
There was a person in the pool who was "hanging" on the edge of the pool in a strange position, as if she had just climbed out of the water, her upper body on the shore and her lower body in the water. I walked over in fear, trying to get a better look at her face, only to notice what was pressed under her arm, invisible from the angle I was standing onβa puddle of scarlet! blood seemed to be pouring from the back of her head. I froze when I could see her face...... Xie Yuhan!
Before I could wake up from the shock, I heard a scream behind me: "Murder!"
I turned my head, and it took me a long time to react, and the waiter in front of me, who was screaming and fleeing, said that it was me who said "murder"!
Until the people of Beauty One and Gao Zhao were across from me, my brain still refused to work, and it seemed to stop at the second before I found Xie Yuhan.
"May?" Gao Zhao looked like he had just cried.
I looked at her blankly, and it took me a long time to cry out, "What should I do, what should I do, I didn't do anything!" I cried hysterically, as if I could turn back time before it happened.
Gao Zhao patted the protective net, "I know, I know, you don't worry, May! I will hire a lawyer! Don't worry! It's going to be fine, woo......" Gao Zhao also cried.
Over the next two days, I was asked a lot of questions by the comrades in charge of the interrogation, but I became more and more reluctant to speak. Because I have a hunch that everything is just beginning.
"Frostshuang, how is my grandma?" The last time Gao called, he told me that she would be responsible for helping me get out of here as soon as possible, and Fan Shuangshuang would take care of my grandma.
"She's fine, at least for now, I believe you went on a business trip because of an emergency. Fan Shuangshuang's eyes were very red, probably either crying or not sleeping well.
Gao Zhao squeezed away Fan Shuangshuang and tried to "stick" closer to me, "May, there is not good news. The waiter in the hotel who reported the crime said that she saw you suddenly push Xie Yuhan who was walking by the pool, which caused her to stumble and hit her head. β
"I didn't!"
"We all know you don't, but there are no cameras in the pool, and the details she describes match the way Xie Yuhan got hurt. β
I know that all this is coming for me, "Is Xie Yuhan awake?"
"No, I'm afraid...... I'm going to be in a vegetative state. Gao Zhao lowered her head and lowered her eyes, she couldn't bear to talk about such a fact, let alone let me know what fate such a fact would bring me.
"I got it", I got through the initial anxiety and fear. Maybe it's because the closer people get to their predetermined destiny, the more calm they become. But being close is not the same as accepting, and I have to fight.
"You have no motive for committing the crime, and Lawyer Shen said that if they can't find a motive, it will be difficult to convict you. "The lawyer Gao Zhao hired for me is surnamed Shen, and he is an expert in this type of case.
There was a glimmer of hope in my eyes, "Yes! I have no motive to do this!I can't trust someone who is trying to frame me!"
"I know, I know, May, don't get excited. "Gao Zhao comforted me.
"There are quite a few people who come to see you, well, the popularity is good. "The eldest sister of the caretaker was very friendly, and she joked with me when she "lifted" me out again on the same day.
I just smiled.
When Guo Nuo appeared on the other side of the "obstacle" and came face to face with me, I suddenly had a feeling of wanting to travel to other parallel dimensions immediately, because I really couldn't convince myself to accept the reality of meeting Guo Nuo on such an occasion.
"In May, you've lost weight. "Guo Nuo's facial features are very soft, and when he cares about people, his eyebrows will be gently raised towards the center of his eyebrows, so that you can feel warm even if you don't listen to the voice.
"Hmm", but unfortunately I'm like a metal plate now, I feel hot and heat dissipates quickly, and my whole mind is on how to get out of here.
"I went to see my grandmother today and she was fine. β
"Thank you", I am very grateful to Guo Nuo for taking care of my grandma at this time, but I can't say anything except these two weak words.
Guo Nuo's hand was on the "obstacle" between us, making a gesture of rubbing my face, "May, I really want to hug you." β
I looked him in the eye and didn't reply to the love sentence I had been looking forward to for years.
"I've got some friends who will help as much as they can. β
"Okay, thank you!" I didn't want to say anything other than those words.
After Guo Nuo left, I regretted being so cold to him, he didn't do anything wrong, but seeing him reminded me of that person, the person who promised to return to China to find me.
