Chapter 19: Confrontation (1)

Tao Qirui didn't know how she got home, she was in tears, ignoring the surprised glances cast at her by passers-by, thinking about the consequences of this incident in her head.

She was in a daze, not thinking about what it would do for her, jealousy blinded her eyes, and her head was so dazed that she could barely think properly.

By this time, things had happened, and after the chaos, she gradually came to her senses, as if she had been struck by thunder, and she was at a loss.

There is no doubt that she has become an accomplice, she helped Peng Zhan commit a crime, and if he is sentenced, he will definitely not be able to escape.

She has worked hard until now, and finally got a little success in front of her, a small act can easily make her lose everything, how will she face others in the future, and what kind of eyes will others use to look at her?

And Mu Yi - thinking of Mu Yi made her heart ache, how would he think of himself? Tao Qirui felt unbearable at the thought that Mu Yi would look at her with disgust.

No, she couldn't accept it, she had to try to save her current situation, she couldn't let the worst happen to her.

Thinking of this, she wiped away the tears on her face, took out her mobile phone and dialed Lin Yansheng's number. She wants to beg Lin Yansheng, begging Lin Yansheng not to say all this, as long as she doesn't say it, she is willing to do whatever Lin Yansheng asks her to do.

But the other end of the phone was quiet, Lin Yansheng didn't say a word, Tao Qirui felt more and more helpless and frightened, she apologized repeatedly, repeatedly begged the other party, there has never been a more humble moment than now.

But then, there was just a thud in the receiver, and the phone was hung up. Tao Qirui stared blankly at her phone, her eyes full of despair.

Cars kept passing on the road outside the window, and there was a sound of whizzing by. Tao Qirui sat in the dark, staring blankly at the dim glow of the streetlamp reflected on the glass.

She held the mobile phone in her hand, the screen of the mobile phone was still on, and whenever it was about to go dark, Tao Qirui nervously pressed it on, as if waiting for something.

She sat for a long time, and she didn't know what time it was, before she got up and walked towards the bedroom. She didn't wash, she lay on the bed with her clothes folded, looking desperately at the ceiling.

She didn't know what to do, and now she didn't even have anyone to talk to. The dearest relatives have all passed away, and the relatives are very indifferent, once something happens to them, they can only watch from the sidelines, and they will not think about helping themselves.

She has only one person, and only she can save herself. Tao Qirui hugged her arms and shrunk her body into the quilt, obviously it was a summer climate, but she felt very cold on her body.

Darkness enveloped her, as if it was about to consume her entirety. She didn't sleep all night, and although she closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep halfway, she couldn't sleep at all, and her mind was full of scenes of herself throwing pills into the cup.

She regretted it very much, but regret didn't change anything. When the sky was slightly bright, she got up from the bed, hurriedly washed her face, didn't even change her clothes, and went out to run towards the hospital where Peng Peng was located.

Although it was still early in the morning, there were many people in the hospital. Tao Qirui went straight to Peng Zheng's hospital room, he was still sleeping, one foot hanging in the air, looking leisurely, as if nothing had happened.

Tao Qirui didn't care so much, she stretched out a hand and slapped the foot hanging in the air hard, Peng Jian screamed in pain, and woke up from the misty return to consciousness.

He wanted to lose his temper, but when he saw that it was Tao Qirui, he suppressed his temper again, and turned his head unhappily, as if he didn't want to see her very much.

Tao Qirui looked haggard, but her eyes were very sharp, she stared at Peng Zhan, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do about this matter?"

"What should I do?" Peng Zhan turned his head to look at her, with a look of confusion,

"Which thing?"

"Do you still want to pretend to be stupid?" Tao Qirui looked at him in disbelief, this was obviously yesterday, and it was he who hurt others and affected himself, how could he do such a brazen rhetorical question like now?

Where did his conscience go? Peng Zhan looked her up and down, snorted coldly, and said, "That's it." ”

"Mu Yi called the police. Tao Qirui said,

"The police will investigate. ”

"Investigation is investigation!" Peng Zhan was a little annoyed,

"I didn't do anything!"

"You!" Tao Qirui's face flushed angrily, she remembered the scene she saw, he actually dared to say that he didn't do anything,

"I've seen it all!"

"Did you see something happen?" Peng Zhan's face was not red and his heart was not beating, he looked at her with a very calm expression,

"I didn't have time to undress, and before I could do anything, you ran in with a bunch of people. He seemed to complain a little about her,

"Didn't I tell you everything, and you were really uncooperative to let you wait for me to finish the work and come back. From now on, I announce that our partnership has been dissolved. Tao Qirui clenched her fists, she couldn't believe that Peng Zhan was such a person, she was really blinded by his disguise, she had even been moved by him before.

Such a hateful, shameless, and obscene person, she feels that Lin Yansheng is not worth it!

She shouldn't have listened to him in the first place, and let him take her neck to do such a thing.

"Mu Yi won't let you go easily. After enduring it for a long time, Tao Qirui finally gritted her teeth and said, she felt disgusted and almost didn't want to see his face again,

"Won't let me go. ”

"What can he do?" said Peng Zhan, looking at her with a smile.

"Whatever the means, he's going to send you to jail. Tao Qirui said, her gaze almost spewing fire,

"I want you to find a way to get me out now, and don't let me be implicated by you. Hearing her words, Peng Zhan laughed instead.

He shifted his posture and smiled, "You're ridiculous. The medicine was put by you, not by me, and in the final analysis, the source of the crime is still you. If you hadn't taken the medicine, I wouldn't have been able to do anything I wanted to. Tao Qirui looked at him blankly, as if someone had poured a large basin of cold water on her head.

Her body stiffened, and even her heart instantly became a stiff piece, and she stood dumbfounded, tears welling up from her eyes, but she didn't realize it at all, like a sculpture.

Mu Yi put away the cynical smile on his face and looked at her with a frown. Everything he said was true, but the starting point was different, he knew that there was only one son like himself in the family, and the old father would not let him go to prison even if he tried his best, besides, there was no evidence left at the scene, and he didn't do anything.

He said this now, just to amuse Tao Qirui. But when he saw her fragile expression that seemed to be about to shatter into glass, he couldn't bear it, after all, he had liked her before, and in his heart, he always left a place of memory for her.

"Alright, alright. Peng Peng waved his hand impatiently,

"Let's go. ”

"Where am I going?" said Tao Qirui blankly,

"I have no hope, my life is going to be ruined, my life is ruined by my own hands. Peng Zhan turned his head to look at her and said, "I won't tell you, you can go." ”

"If you don't say it, it doesn't mean that Lin Yansheng won't say it. Tao Qirui cried in despair,

"She's so smart that she must have guessed that I gave her the medicine. I called her last night, and she didn't say a word, and she must have had the same idea in her heart as she wanted to report me. ”

"I'd say I did it. Peng Peng said that he didn't want to see her crying, and when she cried, the only remaining good feeling he had for her was gone.

"You said you did it, do you have any proof?" Tao Qirui's eyes widened, trying to see the expression on his face in the hazy tears.

"You don't have to worry about that. Peng Zhan lay down again, closed his eyes,

"You go, let me sleep comfortably before I am discharged from the hospital, or I won't help you. Tao Qirui looked at him, still unable to believe that what he said was true.

However, he closed his eyes and his face was calm, and if what he said was true, he would not even have this glimmer of hope.

Tao Qirui is not stupid, she is desperate now, she would rather accept this ten percent probability, she turned around and went out, gently closed the door of the ward, and was stunned at the door for a long time before walking towards the exit of the hospital.

She is extremely haggard, and she has been crying for so long, her eyes have long been red and swollen, she has never been so embarrassed, even in the face of the most difficult customers, no matter how tired she is, she has to clean herself up and deal with each other calmly.

She knew in her heart that all this was brought by herself, and the consequences could only be borne by herself. Although Peng Yan gave her a guarantee, she was still not at ease, and thought hard about how to persuade Lin Yansheng so that Lin Yansheng would not blame herself.

She didn't belong in her mind, and unconsciously walked to the community where Lin Yansheng's house was located, and when her body touched the small iron gate at the entrance, she came to her senses, and glanced at the security uncle who looked at her with a strange expression.

"What are you doing?" The security uncle had long suspected her, and looking at the mess on her body, she was a rag picker.

"I, I'm here to find a friend. Tao Qirui hurriedly said that she was now a frightened bird, and if others were a little more fierce to her, she felt that the person was sent by the police to arrest her.

"Which friend?" the security guard didn't believe it, and looked her up and down, he had never seen her among the residents in and out of the community.

Tao Qirui said the building number and house number of Lin Yansheng's house, and the security uncle dutifully checked the small book, and saw that what she said was not bad, so he let her in.

Tao Qirui walked for a while, looked behind her, and couldn't see the security guards anymore, so she stopped where she was.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself before entering the lobby on the first floor. As she stood in front of that door, all her efforts to calm down were in vain, her heart pounding and her nervousness.

She was ready to be scolded or beaten by Lin Yansheng, and raised her hand to knock on the door, but she knocked for a long time, and no one came to open the door.

She couldn't help frowning, looking at the small cat's eye on the faΓ§ade suspiciously, and then began to think that Lin Yansheng was the victim in this matter, and whether he was still in the hospital and didn't come back.

She raised her hand and knocked a few more times, but the door behind her suddenly opened, and a little boy eating a popsicle poked his head out and looked at her curiously.

Tao Qirui turned around, bent down and asked, "Little brother, do you know where the family has gone?"

"Moved away. The little boy said.

"Do you know where to go?"

"How do I know. The little boy muttered, retracted his head, and slammed the door shut.

Tao Qirui looked at the door in disappointment, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, she was so funny that she asked a stranger where Lin Yansheng had gone.

However, it is not difficult to guess that Lin Yansheng's family has gone out to travel, and it is unlikely that she will move back to her parents' house, most likely to Mu Yi's house.

But Lin Yansheng lived in Mu Yi's house, how could he find her? Tao Qirui was a little lost, she took out her mobile phone, looked at the dark screen in despair, and plucked up the courage to dial Lin Yansheng's phone again.

This time it came straight from the other end

The sound of "The phone you made is turned off".

"It's over. Tao Qirui thought desperately, she must have made up her mind to report herself. Tao Qirui didn't expect that Lin Yansheng was sleeping soundly on the bed at this time, and since the incident, her nerves were highly tense and she had hardly rested.

She cried for so long, and found a slight sense of security in Mu Yi's arms, and these protections made her fall into a deep sleep immediately, and she didn't even dream.

When I woke up, the sky outside the window was already dark, and the leaves reflected the last rays of the setting sun, and soon that afterglow was gone.

Lin Yansheng looked out the window, and it took a long time to realize that he was already in reality. She struggled to prop herself up and looked into the room, where the whole space was quiet, and no sound could be heard.

She got out of bed, put on a coat, pushed open the door and walked out. There were no lights on in the whole house, it was dim, and it was clear that there was no one.

"Uncle Mu?" she tried to scream, but there was an echo from downstairs, but no one answered her.

"Are you all out?" she thought to herself, slowly descending downstairs and sitting down on the couch in the living room.

She didn't know what she was waiting for, and when it was completely dark in the living room, she got up and walked towards the study.

She had been shelving the drawings for days, but when she sat down at the computer, she couldn't draw anything, and her mind went blank.

After sitting like this for a long time, I suddenly remembered the sound of the door opening, and someone walked in. Lin Yansheng trembled and came back to his senses.

Instinctively, she turned her head to look at the door, and saw that the study door was tightly closed, and she could not see who had walked in.

There was a whispered conversation outside the door, as if it had been deliberately kept low, as if it had been deliberately suppressed for fear of being heard.

Lin Yansheng felt a little uneasy in her heart, she instinctively felt that these conversations were related to herself, maybe after that incident, her nerves became more and more sensitive.

She stood up, walked lightly to the door, put her ear to the door, and listened carefully.

The door was too thick to hear what they were saying. Lin Yansheng unscrewed the door lock and quietly opened the door a crack.

She heard the voices of Uncle Mu and Aunt Yu, they were sitting on the sofa in the living room on the other side of the study, and after saying a few words, they heard Mu Yi's voice again.

"Dad, Mom, be quiet. He said, deliberately keeping his voice low,

"Let's go to the study and talk about it, I'm afraid that Yan Sheng will hear it. ”

"Xiao Yi, why didn't you tell us earlier when something like this happened?" Yu Qinling said, her tone reproachful,

"Do you think we will dislike Yan Sheng? She is like a daughter to us, the sooner you tell it, the sooner this matter is dealt with, otherwise after a while, the evidence that should be there is gone, what do you use to sue others? ”

"Your mom is right. Mu Yukai said sadly,

"Pity this kid, how did this happen!" he paused for a few seconds, then continued,

"This kind of thing can go through the law and go through the procedure, you don't follow the example of other people's families and learn those irregular methods. If you hadn't told me about this, your mother and I wouldn't have known. Why, are you still planning to do it alone? Do you think that if you say such a sentence or two, your Uncle Zheng will be willing to do things for you?"
