Chapter 32: The Nightmare (3)
It is a day when people will wake up from a dream, Mr. Qin, who has been lurking for more than 20 years, is like this, and Su Wei, who has lived for more than 20 years, when she woke up, she found herself lying on a hospital bed, there was no one in the room, and she struggled to get up, only to see clearly that this was the boss's ward, and she slept on the bed, with an infusion tube in her hand, and more than half of the liquid in the hanging bottle.
"Are you awake? You finally woke up, scared me to death, did you know? The door was opened, Liu Yu appeared at the door in a wheelchair, with two lunch boxes resting on his lap, seeing her sluggish appearance, her expression exaggerated in shock, which made Su Wei couldn't help laughing, and then she didn't know what she thought, and looked at him in a daze and shed tears.
Liu Yu closed the door, drove the wheelchair to her bedside, put the two lunch boxes on the bedside table next to her, looked at the tears on her face, and wanted to lean over to help her wipe it. As a result, as soon as I got together, I didn't know where I had touched it, and I touched the wound and grinned in pain. The strange appearance had an effect again, Su Wei's smile bloomed in tears, just in response to the word 'pear blossoms bring rain', Liu Yu held her free hand, borrowed strength and sat directly on the edge of the bed, Su Wei's hand held him tightly, as if to grab what diǎn to feel at ease, Liu Yu had to turn around and use the other one to help her wipe her tears.
"Does it hurt?" Hearing her speak, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and knew that he cared about others, this girl was not stupid, he shook his head, in fact, there was really diǎn unbearable just now, and he called out the diǎn, which was by no means good at acting.
"Does it hurt?" Liu Yu returned this question as it was, Su Wei was stunned for a moment, and saw Liu Yu pointing to his chest, only then did he understand the meaning, Su Wei didn't know how to express her feelings at the moment, because she didn't dare to think about it at all, maybe the most painful time had passed, and now all that was left was numbness.
I don't know why, the moment she woke up and saw Liu Yu, what came to her heart was relief, because now she doesn't know how to face her mother, let alone anyone else. Only this unreliable boss, the only participant in the incident, Su Wei felt that he didn't need to pretend to be strong in front of him, because the weakest side was in full view of him, but there was no embarrassment.
Facing his concerned gaze, Su Wei silently leaned his head over, listening to the strong and powerful breathing in his chest, and calmly said↗↗ ↗ in his heart ↗, .≮.o△s_(); Get down. Suddenly, she felt an extra hand behind her head, stroking her hair up and down, pausing on her back for a while, just when she thought there would be further movements, that hand stopped, and only used a diǎn force to hug her tighter, and the heartbeat in her ears suddenly came and went from sudden to rapid, slowly recovering the previous rhythm, a trace of shyness crept up her face, and there was a diǎndiǎn puzzled.
"Our mom is peeking at the door, do you think she'll beat me in a while?"
Liu Yucai felt depressed, and finally had a chance to take advantage of the situation, the door of the ward was quietly opened, he originally thought that it was his parents who came in, and it would be okay if he was seen, maybe it was just what his mother wanted. But who knew that Su Mu was the first to poke her head out, and when she saw their appearance, she didn't know what to think, so she shrank back all of a sudden, shouldn't she rush in and point at his nose and scold? The people outside were just strange, and the people in their arms didn't move, as if they hadn't heard.
"I'm sorry." The girl in her arms suddenly said leisurely.
"It's okay, I'm volunteering." Liu Yu's answer made her burst into laughter, and then she sobbed lowly, her self-righteous little humor didn't work, he could only hug this little body that was both physically and mentally wounded tighter, and for the first time in his life, he gave birth to a heart to protect her, rather than being protected.
In fact, he didn't know the truth, he overheard the first half of Su Mu's self-report before, what was the root cause of those disasters, Su Wei didn't say, of course he wouldn't ask. In any case, twenty years ago she was a little girl who couldn't remember anything, and no matter what happened, it didn't count her head, but she bore twenty years of suffering for it.
"I didn't mean to hide it, I only found out about my background that day, my father and he would be so bad, I really don't know." Su Wei didn't know what word to use to describe it, so after thinking about it, he used the word 'bad'. Seeing her open her mouth, Liu Yu let go of her head, looked into her eyes, and asked.
"How bad?"
"He's killed a lot of people, all of them uncles and aunts who were very nice to me, why, why did he do that?" Su Wei raised his head blankly, Chu Chu's pitiful eyes made Liu Yu feel heartache, if he didn't know that someone was outside the door, he would probably have taken more substantive actions, such as another role of the mouth.
Liu Yu knew that the pain in her heart was not because of her life experience that had been concealed for so long, but because the belief in her heart had collapsed, and the pillar that had been supported for a long time fell suddenly.
The reason why Su's mother didn't enter the door was very simple, she was afraid that she would stimulate her daughter's sore spot, just like that day in the cemetery, if it wasn't for her daughter's accident, she would be lying on the hospital bed now, because she also wanted to know her daughter's question, but no one could answer her.
A person who has been educated by the party for many years, a person with a happy family and a promising future, a good husband and father in the eyes of others, suddenly did something that no one could have imagined, this answer is not only they are pursuing, but even those who were directly involved in the case did not understand it, and the conclusion written in the file is only one sentence "The crime is extremely heinous, and there is more than enough to die."
"Su Wei, I don't know why that person of yours did that, and I can't give you the answer you want." Liu Yu leaned her body on the pillow, looked her in the eye and said, "But I can understand your mood at the moment, an irrevocable emotion is gathering here, like the water in a kettle being boiled and trying to rush out of the lid." ”
Liu Yu pointed to his head, what that kind of love is, Su Wei himself may not be able to give an exact definition, but Liu Yu knows that he doesn't want this kind of love to settle down in the girl's heart and affect her judgment of her future life, but how can he eliminate or alleviate this kind of feeling, Liu Yu's mind turned rapidly, and finally made a decision that he was surprised by.
"I'll tell you a story." Liu Yu retracted his eyes and changed to a relaxed expression, it was obvious that he could feel the girl's expression relax a little, and he successfully distracted her.
"Once upon a time there was a pair of sisters, who were about three years apart, and there was an older brother, not much older than the sisters, who lost their parents when they were very young, and the brother and sister depended on each other. It was an era of war and chaos, human life was very fragile, and when the war came, the whole village would flee with it, because staying in the village could only wait for death, and the three brothers and sisters were no exception. Liu Yu's story is not an allegory or education as she imagined, but a mediocre beginning, but this kind of beginning attracted Su Wei's attention, and she listened to it unconsciously.
"One day, while passing through a market town, the youngest sister fell ill, and the elder brother carried her to the doctor, leaving her alone in the camp. It was dark, they hadn't come back, my sister was very scared, so she looked in their direction, but before she could find it, she was knocked unconscious in a remote alley, and when she woke up, she was already in a boat, tied with ropes, with strips of cloth in her mouth, surrounded by little girls like her, and no one knew where they would go, and no one knew what fate awaited them. ”
Liu Yu's voice gradually became low, his expression surprised Su Wei, it was an expression that he had never had before, his eyes were full of sadness, as if he was watching a sad TV series, knowing what the final result was, but he was powerless to change it, so he could only let his heart rise and fall with the plot.
More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye, and my sister has become a red-card kabuki in a big city, while her relatives are searching for her thousands of miles away in another country, and if their fate does not change, they may never meet again in their lives, or they will miss their loved ones for the rest of their lives. But on that day, she met a man, who only took a fancy to her because of her beauty, the man was very rich, ransomed her out of the green building and raised her in a small courtyard, and her sister thought that she had left the fire pit, and she was very happy and grateful to the man. ”
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, the man offended the magnates of the city for some reason, and that night the wind and snow were very strong, and there was hardly any other sound outside, and when he found that the courtyard was surrounded by people. It was too late, everyone's resistance seemed so fragile in front of the well-trained soldiers, the people in the courtyard fell one by one, and the man took the initiative to go out in order to save his sister and let her hide in the house" Liu Yu spoke very slowly, Su Wei was shocked when he listened, and when he paused, he unconsciously grabbed his arm.
"And then?"
"She hid it well, and the soldiers didn't find it, and one of the leaders forced the man to speak out, and trampled him headfirst into the snow, his face was cold and piercing, and his face was hot and painful on the other." Liu Yu subconsciously touched his face with his hand, as if he felt that pain again.
The man didn't say anything, the leader was not reconciled, so he threw the torch in his hand into the house, and ordered the soldiers to do the same, the house was full of wood and some other flammable materials, and the fire soon burned, and the man looked desperately at the house surrounded by fire, and listened to the singing that came from inside, it was the last farewell of his sister.
"Mountains have no tombs, heaven and earth are together" He couldn't sing, he could only read it out like this, and the last few words choked in his throat, and he couldn't get them out, and finally turned into a low whimper.
"I dare to fight with you." Su Wei's tears fell, and she helped him make up for it word by word.
Liu Yu's tears swirled in his eyes, Su Wei grabbed his hand tightly, and found that the hand was constantly trembling, and the green tendons were highlighted one by one, just like when he was in the cemetery that day. This is the kind of love that Liu Yu said, a kind of love that accumulates in the brain and wants to rush out at any time, a kind of love that may explode at any time, a kind of love that is difficult to vent and cannot be discharged, we call it "hatred".
"You are desperate now because you know that there is nothing you can do but pile up hatred in your heart, because that person is your father, and you can hate him and you can't touch him. Su Wei, I said this story to tell you that everyone has another side that he doesn't know, don't let this hatred ruin your life, it's not worth it, because it's not your fault, and you want to punish yourself with it. ”
Liu Yu has no other way, he knows that if he wants a person to eliminate a certain kind of love, in addition to venting it, there is also to let him hear that others are worse than him, Su Wei is like this now, a woman's natural compassion makes it easier for her to get into the hub, and she has no doubt about the authenticity of this story, and even she guessed the name of the heroine.
"Is that country in Africa?" There are still not many war-torn areas in this time and space, and the country that Liu Yu usually talks about is precisely one of them, so it is easy to make people think of it.
"No, it's so close, so close that we can reach it, but it's so far away that it's hard to imagine." Liu Yu unexpectedly vetoed her answer, it was rare to tell the truth today, and he didn't want to make up another lie at the end.
Su Wei didn't ask any further, leaning on his shoulder silently, imagining the pain of burning his body and the helplessness of watching his lover disappear. Compared to these, my self-pity and self-pity are really not so uncomfortable,
While Liu Yu was telling his story, his parents were sitting outside the ward, and the sound insulation of the door was so good that nothing could be heard after it was closed. Su Hongmei sat on the bench with a sluggish expression, Mother Liu comforted her on the side, and Father Liu sat on the other end of the chair, looking at the opposite wall and not knowing what he was thinking.
"Big sister, although you didn't tell us what happened, it can be seen that you still care about this girl, no matter what misunderstanding there is between your mother and daughter, you must not fall down again. Listen to my advice, how can mother and daughter have an overnight feud, stay in and have a good chat, and untie the knot, which is better than anything else. ”
"Old sister, thank you, your family is a good person, if it weren't for Liu Yu, our family Xiaowei doesn't know what it will become, all the mistakes are my mother's bad, and the child should hate me." Seeing the self-blame on her face, Mother Liu shook her head and grabbed her hand when she heard such words again.
"It's not easy for you, one person pulls two children, and one is sick like that, although I haven't known each other for a long time, I can still see your family's Xiaowei temperament, that's a sensible child, even if you drill into something that you can't figure out, wait for Yuzi to persuade you, it's fine, don't worry."
Su Hongmei couldn't say that it was not a misunderstanding, but that she had deceived her child for twenty years, which made the father image in her mind collapse, and now she is afraid that even she hates herself, which can be solved in a few words. The two women didn't say a few words, the door of the ward opened suddenly, Liu Yu pushed the wheelchair out, the two women stood up together, Liu's mother went directly over and took the pusher, Su Hongmei looked at him worriedly.
"Auntie, Su Wei wants to talk to you." Liu Yu pointed to the back, and said with a relaxed expression, Su Hongmei's heart was relieved, and she hurriedly walked in.
"Mom" At the moment she appeared, Su Wei opened her arms with tears in her eyes, this "Mom" immediately broke all her heart knots, and tears slipped down irrepressibly, she almost lost this daughter in one diǎn, so this hug was very long, and she didn't need to say anything, as long as she vented all the grievances in her heart.
Located in Dongcheng District, Huangsi Street B No. 1 Courtyard is a complex of high and low buildings, Metro Line 8 passes through the street entrance, it is not as lively as several major business districts, and it is generally quiet, if you don't look at the gate guarded by heavily armed soldiers.
"Please show your ID." A gun-wielding guard saluted and held out his hand to the slowly rolling down window.
Zhong Ming took out a black covered document from her jacket pocket and handed it over, she was wearing a men's military uniform today, not the kind of top and skirt of ordinary female civilian personnel, if she didn't open her mouth, it was hard to believe that this soldier driving a huge off-road vehicle was a woman.
"Well, you can get over." The guard opened the certificate and looked at her face for a while, and then diǎndiǎn head was released, in fact, he knew who this person was without looking at the certificate, but his duty was not to be carried out seriously, because there was a sign hanging on the wall next to him, on which only four words were written "Second Department of the General Staff".
The car stopped in front of a seven-story building, Zhong Ming picked up a bag on the passenger seat and got out of the car, she looked in the rearview mirror to reshape the military appearance, and then walked up the steps quickly, there was no sign in front of this building, but the access control was stricter than the gate, not only to verify the documents but also to check fingerprints and iris.
"Report." In front of a door that read 'Director's Office', Zhong Ming knocked on the door and said loudly.
"Come in." Hearing the sound coming from inside, Zhong Ming twisted the door open, and a middle-aged man wearing a military uniform with a gold star on his shoulder stood by the window with her on his back.
"Little Bell, come and sit."
The man turned his head and said hello, Zhong Ming sat down in response, his legs together, straightened his waist and looked ahead, the man himself did not sit down, but stood beside her with his support on the sofa.
"I've read your report, why are you investigating a case from twenty years ago? How does it relate to your current job? No need to stand up, sit and answer. ”
"Yes, Chief." Zhong Ming was just about to stand up when he stopped her, and she sat down to organize the language in her heart.
"Because the target person is very closely related to the person involved in the case, I need to know the details of the year in order to assess the risk of the matter and make appropriate response plans."
"Oh? Which one is associated with the person. The man was a little curious.
"The main criminal's daughter Yu Xiaowei, now her name is Su Wei, and her mother, Su Hongmei." Zhong Ming took a few files from Wen Jiàn's bag and handed them over.
"Su Hongmei, this name is very familiar."
The man glanced at Su Wei's information and flipped it over directly, this woman is too young, she must have been a child twenty years ago, what doubts can there be, only the mother let him ponder for a while, looked at the information on it, and suddenly remembered something.
"The chief is right, this woman is the wife of the main culprit, she was the director of the 702 Research Institute at the time, the head of the 311 Shi yàn room, and the heavy diǎn participant of the 618 project, and she was relieved of all her duties after the incident, and she was placed under residential surveillance until five years ago."
"Project 618, by the way, it's her, isn't that material the first proposed and discovered by Su Hongmei? You say she's in contact with the target now? The man suddenly realized.
"Yes, their mother and daughter have been in contact with the target, and no problems have been found yet, but I need to know more, especially this Su Hongmei, if she can't rule out her suspicion, she can only take extraordinary measures and never let the target be in danger."
"I understand, but that case is a shame for the entire security department, and I don't necessarily have more information here than they do." The man shook his head, as if he didn't want to mention the events of that year.
"Chief, I insist on what I ask." Zhong Ming stood up and saluted him, his eyes full of uncompromising determination.
