Chapter 67: Vanishing Wounds
The light shone into the dream from a distant reality, but the dream was wrapped in a thick layer of black.
There are many memories that seem to be submerged in the deep sea, haunting the mind every time the tide rises and falls, and the occasional small wave will turn into an offensive that fuels the fire.
When Fang Miao opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on a chair, his hands tied from behind, it was a room so dark that he couldn't see anything, there were no windows on the four walls, and there was an exhaust fan at the highest point, and a subtle light came in when it was turned.
"Click" The wooden door opened, and the sound of leather shoes falling to the ground came into his ears more and more clearly, Fang Miao squinted his eyes, trying his best to see the appearance of the person who came.
Four men approached and stood on either side of her, and the man at the head half-crouched down in front of her, so close that he still couldn't tell what he looked like.
"As I said, if you're still going to be so stubborn, they ......," the man swept the men in black on either side, his eyes fierce, "what they're going to do to you, I don't need to say more." ”
……
Meng Chaoge couldn't wait for Fang Miao to come back at the hotel, and no one answered the phone, but Han Junchi called.
"Why didn't you tell me when you and Lawyer Fang were on a business trip, I thought you two had been kidnapped. Han Junchi snorted dissatisfied.
"If Lawyer Han feels that he has been neglected, he will wait for us to go back and then hold him accountable, and now I have more urgent matters!"
"Is the case tricky?"
"Lawyer Fang was gone, and after the trial ended in the morning, I went back to the hotel first, but I waited for two hours, and no one answered her calls. ”
"You mean she's missing?" Han Junchi rarely reacted so loudly to something, and lowered his voice in a few seconds, "I won't ......"
"Won't anything?"
There was a moment of silence, "Oh, six years ago, it was during the investigation and evidence collection of the 'Wu Le case', Fang Miao disappeared for nearly half a month, and then said that he was not feeling well and had been recuperating. ”
At first glance, it sounds nothing suspicious, but when you think about it, there are still things that don't make sense.
Meng Chaoge couldn't help but think of what Fang Miao had said to her a few days ago, and for a while there was a chill behind her.
"Are we sure we want He Shifeng to cheat on Zhao Yuming's mother, and Zhao Yuming inadvertently saw this incident, as a bargaining chip to reduce his sentence?"
Fang Miao pulled out the USB flash drive, "This is a matter of personal privacy, if she would rather her son go to prison for a few more years than ruin her reputation, then we have no right to do so." ”
"Also, it is rumored that He Shifeng's wife's family is very powerful, and she is a woman with strong self-esteem. ”
Meng Chaoge shook his head, trying to ignore the messy thoughts, and then the phone vibrated twice, "I have a phone here, let's not talk about it, I will notify Lawyer Han if there is news." ”
This time it was Yan Zheng who called, Meng Chaoge listened to him say a few words, his face finally eased, he sat on the bed with a fart, and exhaled easily.
——
Today, the weather in K City is surprisingly good, the sun is shining brightly and not dazzling, and it is warm and pleasant to shine through the window.
Yan Zheng sat on the edge of the bed, holding Fang Miao's hand, she was sleeping on the bed, her head was wrapped in a thick bandage, except for sweating from time to time, she was quiet.
Dreams are like a sponge, sucking up all the warm temperature and bright light of the outside world, leaving only great fear.
The man pressed to her ear: "I'll give you one last chance, do you still insist on saying it?"
His mind was blank, Fang Miao tried hard to recall, but his head hurt so much that he was about to crack.
A cold light flashed in the man's eyes, and his hand grabbed her by the neck, and with a little force he threw her to the ground, and there was a sharp gravel on the ground, like a knife cutting her forehead, and the pain almost stopped her brain.
"Fang Jian, you'd better not force me, otherwise I may really have to use the most extreme method against you, isn't it good for us to cooperate?"
Fang Inspection ...... Fang Inspection ...... Why do you call yourself that?
Fang Miao was stunned, endured the severe pain and turned back to look at the man, "Who are you?"
The exhaust fan above her head was still spinning, and the light was all on the man's face, and she could only see one part of it at a time.
One eyebrow...... One eye...... One nose ...... A lip, integrated, who is it exactly?
The man got up and lost his patience: "Don't let her die, the rest is up to you!"
The footsteps faded away, and when the door closed again, it disappeared completely.
Fang Miao's eyes were dizzy, two men helped her up with the chair, and the other man found a belt and pulled it to both sides, and there was a "crackling" sound in the air.
"We can't let her die yet, so we should give her a little color!" the man with the belt winked at the others.
"I think so. ”
……
The crackling sound and the desperate cries of pain converged, and after a long time, they finally disappeared, the world was silent, and the broken memories merged little by little in the darkness, but the original piece was missing.
The rope that tied Fang Miao was stained with blood, her whole body was soaked, her hair was clinging to the side of her face, and her whole person fell to the ground in decadence, as quiet as death in the dark world.
"Fang Miao, give me your body, you will get rid of pain, self-blame, and all kinds of eyes from others. ”
His throat was full of the smell of blood, Fang Miao didn't speak, just kept shaking his head.
"Can you bear to watch Yan Zheng be frightened for you, and can you bear to let someone lose what he should have because of you one day?"
Yan Zheng...... The man who came into her life by light.
"If you leave those worries and come to me, I will not let you go again, but if you shake my hand back, I will take you and be happy for a long time. ”
Now, I'm in real pain, so much pain that I want to forget about it and get some sleep...... However, even if I wake up and have to face such a sad self, I still pray that fate will send me back to you......
The light pierced the darkness, and after receiving the strong impact from the dream, Fang Miao completely woke up.
The golden sunlight is jumping in the eyelashes, and you only need to move your fingertips lightly to feel the presence around you, and when you look at it, you can see his deep and quiet eyebrows, what a heart-warming feeling.
"Are you hungry?" asked Yan Zheng in a flat tone for a long time.
Fang Miao shook his head, his eyes staring at him unblinking from the time he woke up until now.
Yan Zheng couldn't help laughing, "Don't keep staring at me like this, my self-control is not as good as you think." ”
There was a smile in his voice, and it sounded like his heart was rippling.
For the next half hour, although Fang Miao was very tired, she still refused to close her eyes, and she couldn't get up and move until the nurse came to pull out the needle.
"I'd better leave this case to a lawyer who specializes in legal aid to follow up. At noon, Yan Zheng said when he fed her porridge.
Fang Miao pursed her lips and nodded: "Whoever is the defender in this case is the same." ”
Yan Zheng's eyes turned on her face for two seconds: "I know that I am a person who cannot be provoked, why do I want to risk myself?"
"You got it?"
Yan Zheng put down the porcelain bowl that had bottomed out, took out a tissue to wipe the soup stains on the corner of her mouth for her, and nodded.
"It should be said that I underestimated the ruthlessness of that woman, even if I didn't make it public, but she realized that I was an insider-person, and it wasn't ......" Fang Miao pointed to her brain, "gave me a warning." ”
When the words fell, Yan Zheng looked at her without saying a word for a long time, and finally knocked on her head coldly.
The bandage was really a bit thick, Fang Miao didn't feel pain, but made an unexpected move.
She rubbed forward, stretched her neck, and kissed Yan Zheng's lips, just a simple touch, but it lasted longer than the first time she kissed him.
Soft and warm mixed with the sweet taste of red date porridge, Yan Zheng seemed to stop his heartbeat, and he reached out to hug her and circled Fang Miao into his arms.
Who said that people after the age of 30 will not have their first love? The single before the age of 30 may be to meet the love that comes suddenly after that, the first love at this age is not blind and ignorant, it is based on love and for the purpose of marriage, and it belongs to the mature heart of adults.
After a simple intimacy, Fang Miao snuggled in Yan Zheng's arms, thinking about something else.
"Yin Lai, hasn't it been a long time?"
Yan Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said lightly, "Why did you suddenly mention this?"
She never asked before, and it can be said that she has a strong resistance to Yin Lai.
"I just suddenly remembered something, so I thought of her. ”
If the dream was the part of the memory she had forgotten, how much did Yin Lai bear instead of herself?
Although Fang Miao diluted the not-so-good mood, Yan Zheng was still sensitively aware of it. However, I thought that I wanted to comfort her in this matter and do psychological construction for her, so it seems that it is completely unnecessary, she has learned to be kind to herself and cherish the rest of her life.
Fang Miao closed her eyes and said softly, "Tomorrow will be discharged from the hospital, okay?"
"Do you think you can?" he didn't refuse, but asked her rhetorically.
"I don't know. She rubbed a few times in his arms, and her voice was rarely soft-soft and delicate, "It's good to have you." ”
There was a steady breathing sound in his ears, Yan Zheng lowered his head, his clear eyes stared at her in his arms without blinking, and his heart was so warm that he couldn't speak.
——
In City A, Li Xin waited at the resort hotel with the divorce agreement prepared in advance according to the client's requirements, and Luo Ying and his wife came over at about the same time.
Originally, this divorce case was planned to be resolved in court, so why did she consider settling it in court? On the one hand, Luo Ying did not have a bargaining chip to help the divorce, and on the other hand, feelings are more complicated than the law, and they are also unclear by the law.
This is the first time Li Xin has seen Luo Ying's husband Fu Yuan, a young entrepreneur, in his early 30s at most, with a straight suit, good facial features, and good skin, but he looks too handsome and sharp.
Luo Ying greeted politely as usual, sat down opposite Li Xin, and the next moment Fu Yuan also sat down next to her, ignoring his move, Luo Ying picked up the agreement and read it.
"Mr. Fu, we met today with the idea of reconciliation, the reasons for the divorce will not be discussed, the current living conditions of the two of you will also affect the growth of the children, for long-term considerations, I hope you can respect the opinions of my parties. And ......" Before Li Xin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fu Yuan raising his hand.
The man squinted his eyes and looked at it, and his voice was dangerous: "I didn't come today to discuss divorce, is my attitude not clear enough?"
"Fu Yuan!" Luo Ying was even more surprised in anger, "Have you forgotten how you followed me at home yesterday?"
"If I don't say that, I'm afraid you'll have to fly abroad overnight with your child, I'm not so stupid. Fu Yuan smiled gloomily, "What's so bad about being a full-time housewife, aren't you very happy for so many years, why do you have to make everyone unhappy?"
"Happiness?" Luo Ying sneered, "What about growing up together, you don't understand me at all." ”
"I don't understand you, you've been making trouble all the time!"
The voice was so loud, Li Xin covered his ears, glanced at Luo Ying after a while, and spoke: "Mr. Fu, if you insist on not divorcing, you must agree to Miss Luo on one condition." ”
Hearing this, Fu Yuan calmed down slightly, "What conditions?"
"Allow Miss Luo to return to work and pursue the career she loves. ”
"I don't agree!" he refused.
Li Xin pulled his lips and took out a stack of photos from his briefcase, "Then Mr. Fu means that he wants to appear in court?"
When his eyes fell on those photos, Fu Yuan's face was red and green, and his first reaction was not to explain to anyone, but to vent all his anger on Li Xin.
"You're following me, and as a lawyer, don't you know it's against the law?"
"It's me. Luo Ying answered coldly, and added when Fu Yuan turned to look at him, "I found someone to follow me." ”
