Chapter 147: Premeditated
Zhou He and Li Peiyuan ultimately failed to attend Cheng Cheng's engagement ceremony, and on Thursday night, Li Peiyuan collapsed to the ground while going to rest.
He has limited mobility, so every night Zhou He pours him a glass of water and puts it at the head of his bed. At that time, she had just poured water out, and when she saw Li Peiyuan falling, she didn't have time to help, the cup in her hand fell to the ground, and the hot water spilled all over the ground.
She panicked, stepped forward quickly, and called her uncle one after another. But Li Peiyuan closed his eyes tightly and didn't react.
The aunt also heard such a big movement, and seeing that Zhou He had no owner, she quickly dialed the emergency number. The ambulance came quickly, but the hospital in Yucheng did not dare to accept it.
Zhou He tried his best to calm down, called Li Ruifeng, and also called Li Peiyuan's attending doctor before. A helicopter was immediately sent over to bring Li Peiyuan back to Kyoto.
Li Peiyuan's fainting was without warning, and the doctor said after examination that the cause of the fainting should be the blood congestion in his brain. Let the surgery be done as soon as possible, otherwise it may be life-threatening.
The difficulty of the operation was extremely high, and the hospital did not dare to perform the operation rashly. After discussing with Li Ruifeng for a long time, the attending doctor decided to send Li Peiyuan abroad. And contact the hospital and doctor over there to perform the surgery as soon as possible.
Li Peiyuan has not woken up since he fainted, and Zhou He's heart was panicked. With the trip abroad.
Fortunately, the operation was very successful, and Li Peiyuan woke up three days after the operation. Although his eyes were bright again, they also left some sequelae.
These sequelae that can be recovered through rehabilitation are nothing compared to the restoration of the brightness of the eyes.
Zhou He learned about the engagement ceremony in Yucheng half a month later, and it was not as low-key as the parties said. Although there were not many guests at the banquet, it was the most luxurious engagement in Yucheng. The major media in Yucheng dug deep and reported for many days.
There is also a discussion in the market, an engagement ceremony is so luxurious, when it comes to marriage, what kind of grand occasion should it be? For a while, the Cinderella who flew on the branches attracted the envy of all the ladies in Yucheng.
Zhou He was very calm, in fact, she didn't have time to think about these things. After the operation, Li Peiyuan needs to be carefully cared for, and it is far less convenient abroad than in China. Even though she had a nurse with her, she was still tired, so tired that she could fall asleep immediately when she collapsed on the bed.
There was no extra space in her mind to think about other things, all she thought about was how to help him recover and let him get better quickly.
It has been three months since Li Peiyuan slowly recovered, and he has recovered very well. But the doctor still asked for a good rest.
When I first came here, it was icy and snowy, and now it's March. The sun outside was getting hot.
He is fully self-reliant and has no plans to return to China anytime soon. There was nothing left to do if Zhou He stayed. She began to plan to return to China.
She was completely at a loss as to what to do when she returned home. For the future, there are no plans for the time being.
Li Peiyuan probably saw her dazed and suggested that she go out for a walk and travel around. Do what you want to do. When I come back, I will find a job in a down-to-earth manner. Then take life seriously.
Maybe everyone has a dream of traveling, Zhou He accepted his suggestion, and with his help, he began to make a travel strategy.
The routes they have drawn up are not famous scenic spots. Rather, they are some niche and very distinctive attractions. In order to formulate a detailed travel strategy, Li Peiyuan even went to a very famous forum to carefully study the scenic spots recommended by travelers. While traveling, you must also be safe.
The detailed strategy was formulated, and it took almost a year. Zhou He was a little hesitant, but Li Peiyuan encouraged her to walk around and see more. to increase experience and knowledge.
She knew that he wanted her to go out and relax. In the end, it was settled, and even Yucheng flew directly to the first stop of the trip without returning.
The third stop of her trip was next to the city where Xu Yuanning stayed. She called Xu Yuanning after getting off the plane.
Knowing that she had returned to China, Xu Yuanning briefly asked her about Li Peiyuan's surgery. Although he knew that Li Pei was going abroad for surgery, he didn't have much contact, and he didn't know much about the follow-up.
Zhou He will simply say it one by one. And asked about his current life.
Xu Yuanning smiled slightly and said that it was all good.
Zhou He then told him about his travels, and said that the third stop was not far from where he was, and he planned to go over to see him.
I thought he would be quite welcoming. But he hesitated, saying that he would be very busy during this time, and he was going to the local business trip, and she probably wouldn't see him in the past.
He had business, and Zhou He did not stick to the past. She said that she didn't know the exact time she would get there, and she would call him after she passed, and she would go there if she was free.
Xu Yuanning will be okay now.
Zhouhe's first stop was a small town, which was inhabited mostly by ethnic minorities. It also maintains the customs and habits of many ethnic minorities, which is very simple.
Zhou He stayed in the small town for several days, and every day he would record what he encountered. When encountering something special, the beautiful scenery will be photographed, and it will be passed from the mailbox to Li Peiyuan at night to share with her.
After she left, Li Peiyuan didn't know what she was doing, and seemed to be a little busy. But every day or two, I would call her and share her travel life.
Although the life during the trip is tired and tired, it is far away from the hustle and bustle, and the whole person is fulfilling. Zhou He didn't even read the news.
She still didn't see Xu Yuanning in the end, and called her at the third stop, but he hadn't come back from his grandfather's business. The place is remote, and it is estimated that it will take ten days and a half to return to the small city.
Zhou He originally thought that if he would come back in a few days and wait for him, he had to give up.
On the way to the fourth stop, Zhou He met a girl named Du Yu who was also traveling alone on the bus. At that time, she was not feeling well, and after Zhou He gave her the medicine she brought, the two started talking. The two talked very speculatively, and the routes they formulated partially overlapped. So they traveled together, and when they got to different places on the route, they went their own way.
This is not the first time Du Yu has traveled alone, she is a freelancer and spends at least two months of the year on the road. I've been to many places on my own.
She has a lot of experience, telling Zhou He which things are cumbersome and what things must be bringed. and told her the safety common sense that girls should pay attention to when going out alone, and what to pay attention to when staying in a hotel at night.
It's probably rare for a girl to travel alone, and she is curious about Zhou He. He also asked what he did.
Zhou He used the excuse that he had just resigned and planned to go out for a walk.
Girls who come out alone are either really passionate about traveling. Either that, or just come out for a walk. Du Yu automatically planned Zhou He to be the latter. Encourage her that there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome, people always have to look forward and move forward. Stagnation is just a waste of good time.
She has gained a lot from being with Du Yu, her personality is optimistic, and she has been very easy all the way. The two walked together for nearly two months, from spring to summer. When it came to separation, Zhou He was reluctant, left each other's usual contact information and address in the future, and agreed to meet each other if he came out to meet in the city where the other party was.
It is not safe for girls to be outside, and on the last night, Du Yu took Zhou He to the bar. Maybe it's because you want to part, maybe it's because you've drunk. Du Yu talked a little more than usual, chatting about the emotions of the past and the yearning for the future. Before they knew it, both of them drank more.
Du Yu's alcohol consumption was not very good, and he already needed Zhou Hefu when he left. Outside, she yelled for skewers again. Zhou He had to take her to a food stall on the side of the road to eat skewers.
As soon as the cool breeze of the summer night blew, although Du Yu was still groggy, Zhou He's wine was much sober. took care of Du Yu carefully.
When the two returned to the hotel where they stayed, it was already one o'clock in the morning, and Du Yu was drunk at this time, so he went to bed and lay down without taking off his shoes.
Zhou He screamed twice but failed to wake her up, helped her take off her shoes and wash her face, pulled the quilt to cover her, and then closed the door lightly and went out.
Her room was next door to Du Yu, and she was not very relieved to sleep alone when she was drunk. I was going to go back to my room to wash up and change my clothes and go to her room to sleep with her, but as soon as I opened the door and went out, I saw Qin Yang in a wheelchair in the middle of the corridor.
Zhou He seemed to be hallucinating, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his eyebrows.
Qin Yang's face was pale, and he walked over in a wheelchair and said, "Qiao." ”
His presence here was not just a coincidence, but a coincidence.
It seems that since the first meeting in the library, the meeting between the two of them has been a coincidence most of the time. A strange feeling arose in Zhou He's heart.
But she didn't show it, and she said it well. Let yourself behave the same as usual, and ask, "Is Mr. Qin also here for a tour?"
Qin Yang let out a faint hum.
Zhou He couldn't find anything to say at this time, looked at the time, and said, "Is Mr. Qin living here? It's not early, you can rest early." ”
After she finished speaking, she didn't care about Qin Yang, took out the key and opened the door of the room.
Qin Yang stopped in front of the door on her left and opened the door.
Because of Qin Yang's appearance, Zhou He, who has been lying in bed these days, has been sleeping in the past, but he can't sleep anymore. She originally planned to go to Du Yu's room next door, but in the end she didn't go, so she lay down on the bed.
This hotel is an old house remodel, as long as you don't sleep very dead, as long as there is a slightly louder movement next door, you can hear it.
Qin Yang, who was next door, probably fell asleep directly after returning to the room, and there was no sound. It's quiet.
The strange feeling in Zhou He's heart kept circling, and he always felt a little weird, but he couldn't say anything weird.
She only squinted for a moment that night, and then she got up at dawn. I didn't say goodbye to Du Yu anymore, and planned to leave early.
Who knew that there was someone who was earlier than her, she had just gone out when she saw Qin Yang's driver standing at the door next door. When he saw her, he smiled slightly and called Miss Zhou. glanced at the bag she was carrying, and said, "Miss Zhou, is she leaving?"
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhou He to speak, and continued: "Mr. Qin arranged it last night, saying that he would invite Miss Zhou to breakfast today. He hasn't gotten up yet, so he asked Miss Zhou to wait a little longer and have breakfast before leaving. You and Mr. Qin haven't seen each other for a long time. ”
His tone was polite. But the meaning couldn't be clearer, to leave Zhou He behind.
Zhou He smiled faintly and said, "No need, I have already booked the ticket." Let's eat it after breakfast. ”
She was about to leave. The driver stopped her and said with a slight smile: "You know Mr. Qin's temper, please don't embarrass me." ”
He is obligatory, and he wants to leave Zhou He behind.
Zhou He's face turned cold, and he wanted to say something, but he was afraid of Du Yu, who was still sleeping next door, so he didn't speak anymore and went back to the room.
She didn't know what Qin Yang was going to do, but she vaguely felt that it wouldn't be a good thing. She was afraid that Du Yu would be affected, so after putting down her luggage, she took out her mobile phone and sent her a text message, telling her that she had left. Until next time.
Someone was walking outside, and she couldn't leave even if she wanted to. After texting, he sat down on the bed.
She had woken up early, and the inn had not yet begun to get busy. Even the road is quiet.
I have long been accustomed to getting up at a certain point, and when I got to a fixed point, there was a movement of getting up in Du Yu's room next door.
Zhou He was worried that she would come over, but she should have seen the text message, so she didn't come, and left directly after packing up. Qin Yang's people didn't stop her. Zhou He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this time.
Half an hour after Du Yu left, Qin Yang got up. The driver came over and knocked on Zhou He's door, and said politely through the door: "Miss Zhou, Mr. Qin is up." ”
Zhou Ji didn't go to get his luggage, and went out directly.
Qin Yang was already waiting in the corridor, I don't know if he didn't sleep well or what, his face was not very good, and he was slightly pale.
Zhou Ji didn't walk over, and stopped at the door. He looked at him lightly and asked, "What does Mr. Qin mean?"
Qin Yang didn't look at her, he slid his wheelchair to the staircase, and said, "Aren't you happy if someone invites you to eat breakfast for free?"
His tone was light. It's a little different from before.
Seeing that he had walked forward and Zhou He didn't move, his driver made a gesture of please and said, "Miss Zhou, please." ”
Zhou He pursed his lips and walked over.
He was in a wheelchair and it was inconvenient to go down the stairs. Zhou He thought that the driver would come forward to help, but he didn't. When they arrived at the staircase, two big men in black came out of nowhere, politely called Mr. Xiao Qin, and then lifted the wheelchair up by themselves.
In the past, Qin Yang's side was almost unpopular, and Zhou He's heart became heavy.
Qin Yang was as particular as ever, and the store he went to was a simple rice noodle shop. The pomp and circumstance of his trip this time was obviously bigger, and he didn't use the store's dishes and chopsticks, and someone brought them for him. Even the table that looked clean was wiped and disinfected again.
The chubby boss wanted to say something, but when he saw a few people around him, he swallowed the words back. I started to cook the rice noodles.
Qin Yang seemed to be in poor spirits, and the whole person was not speechless. Zhou He didn't say anything, and after the rice noodles came up, he ate them seriously.
After she finished eating in front of Qin Yang, she looked at him after putting down the dishes and chopsticks, and asked lightly, "May I ask Mr. Qin, can I leave now?"
Qin Yang did not speak. His driver became his spokesperson at this moment, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm afraid not yet." Mr. Qin wants to ask Miss Zhou for a small favor, and may have to temporarily interrupt Miss Zhou's journey. ”
Zhou He pursed his lips, looked at Qin Yang, and said, "What if I have to go?"
The driver's expression remained unchanged at all, and he continued to smile and said, "Miss Zhou should know that you can't go." Miss Zhou, please rest assured, Mr. just wants to ask Miss Zhou for a small favor, after the matter is completed, I will arrange someone to send Miss Zhou back here, and will definitely not delay your next journey. ”
They will choose this time to appear, and it should obviously be premeditated. She has been with Du Yu all the time, and if she suddenly disappears, it will definitely arouse Du Yu's suspicions.
And the pick appeared now, Du Yu had already left, and even if she didn't continue the next journey, no one would pay attention.
Zhou He's heart has been sinking, since they have picked the time, it means that they should have been with them for a while. And during this time, neither she nor Du Yu found anyone following them.
She didn't know what the driver was referring to, and she didn't know what Qin Yang wanted to do, but her instincts told her that it wouldn't be a good thing.
She really knew that she couldn't leave, didn't she say that there were still people in Qin Yang's shadows, and now that these people were following in unison, it was impossible for her to leave.
Zhou He didn't speak anymore now, planning to take a step at a time.
Qin Yang's breakfast was quickly finished, and there was already a car waiting outside. The driver still opened the car door as before, and respectfully asked Zhou to close the car.
Zhou He knew that he was leaving, and said lightly: "I still have to go back to the hotel to get my luggage." ”
The driver smiled slightly and said, "Miss Zhou, please rest assured, your luggage has been brought." ”
This is not to give Zhou He the slightest chance to escape.
Zhou He pursed his lips and got into the car.
She and Qin Yang were not in the same car, and when the car started, the driver in front of him smiled and said, "The distance is a bit far, and Mr. Qin doesn't like to take planes." Please also ask Miss Zhou to bear with me. Miss Zhou should have slept well last night, and she can also take this opportunity to take a good rest. ”
This driver is completely smiling. It was impossible to ask something from his mouth, so Zhou He simply closed his mouth, leaned back in the car seat and pretended to sleep. Thinking about where they will go.
Although she didn't know what the driver said about help, she vaguely felt that it had something to do with Yucheng Kyoto. Her heart was anxious, and her brain never stopped all the way, thinking of countermeasures.
She didn't know anything about Qin Yang at all, and she didn't even know if the name was true or false. Thinking back to the meeting between the two again, she became more and more frightened.
In this world, there will be no such coincidences. There are many coincidences, and it becomes premeditated.
Zhou He tried his best to calm down.
They didn't seem to be in a hurry, and stopped at the first service area after getting on the highway. The driver said politely: "Mr. Qin needs to rest over there, if Miss Zhou feels bored, you can get out of the car to breathe." ”
This is undoubtedly an opportunity.
Zhou He's fingers subconsciously shook it, and his face responded lightly.
The driver seemed to see through her thoughts, and when she was about to open the car door, he smiled and said, "Miss Zhou should know that Mr. Qin's temper is rather eccentric. Miss Zhou had better not have any other thoughts. Otherwise, Mr. Qin will get angry......"
He deliberately paused here and did not say any more.
Zhou He didn't speak, only paused slightly and then opened the door and got out of the car.
Although there was a warning, the ventilator who let her get out of the car was also prepared. The two big men followed her one after the other, Zhou He wanted to go to the bathroom, and the two were waiting outside.
When he got to the bathroom, Zhou He originally wanted to take out his mobile phone to call the police. But when she reached into her pocket, she found that the mobile phone she had put in her pocket in the morning was gone.
She was startled, and thought about it again earnestly. I still remember that my phone was in my pocket. It is impossible to drop it at the hotel.
She knew that she would hardly have the chance to be alone except in the bathroom. I didn't dwell on this matter, and I planned to borrow someone else's mobile phone to use it.
But when I opened the door and appeared, I found that there were several people just now, and they had all gone out at this time. And no one came in outside.
There are so many people in the service area that it's almost impossible.
She pursed her lips subconsciously, and when she went out, she found that the two big men were guarding the door. The people outside were stopped.
Someone probably wanted to complain, but the two of them were expressionless, and in the end they didn't dare to say anything.
The three of them quickly returned to the car, and as soon as Zhou He sat down, the driver smiled slightly and said, "Did Miss Zhou find that the phone was missing?"
Zhou He's heart sank and he looked up at him.
The driver took out her mobile phone from the side, smiled slightly and said, "I will keep the mobile phone for you first, you can rest assured, when the time comes, I will definitely return it to you." ”
Zhou He's heart was shocked, she didn't even realize when he took the phone out of her pocket.
He paused slightly, and then said, "Next time Miss Zhou wants to go to the bathroom again, they won't accompany you." But I have to persuade Miss Zhou, Mr. Qin has a bad temper, don't bother others. ”
Although his tone was gentle, it was not polite between the lines. Apparently he had already guessed what Zhou He was thinking.
After speaking, he didn't care about Zhou He anymore, and saw that Qin Yang's car had already left, so he also started the car.
Zhou He was annoyed, but there was no way at this moment. I had to endure it and wait for the opportunity to come.
