Chapter 358: Self-blame
"You're blaming her again? What's wrong with her? Nan Zhiyi stepped forward sideways, seemingly inadvertently, but faintly isolated Zhu Jinchuan and Ling Li.
Zhu Jinchuan's attention shifted to him, and his eyes narrowed.
He used to hope to make friends with Nanzhiyi because of his work, but now that he has such an opportunity, he doesn't want it at all.
If he could, he even hoped that he would turn back time and not hand over the second-instance case of the new plant variety to Ling Li, so as not to get involved with Nan Zhiyi, lest the entanglement between them get deeper and deeper.
This person always makes him feel dangerous, even if he just stands there quietly, it always makes Zhu Jinchuan feel an inexplicable sense of vigilance.
After a few seconds, Zhu Jinchuan replied, "Isn't it?" What's in it for her to always dwell on the past? ”
Nan Zhiyi sneered and said lightly: "Some things can be forgotten if you forget them?" She performs every day that she completely forgets the past, shows you with a smiling face, and pretends to be a strong girl, can't you really see how hard she acts? ”
Zhu Jinchuan was stunned, obviously he couldn't imagine that Nan Zhiyi could say such emotional words in his mouth.
It's just that he regained his composure in the next second, and his tone was also indifferent: "Then do you think you are kind to remind her all the time and force her to face the past again and again?" Does she need all this inexplicable help? You're just pulling her into a bottomless maelstrom. Do you dare to say that you intervened in this incident without the selfish intention of prying into other people's lives? ”
Nan Zhiyi has always been sharp-tongued, but at this time, he was tortured by him, and he was almost speechless.
In the first half of Zhu Jinchuan's tirade, he did not agree, and there were countless reasons to refute it, but the second half of what he said seemed to be really right.
Is the truth really that important? Or is it because the truth is very important to Ling Li, so he wants to help her find the truth again and again, and he has some selfishness.
Knowing that he couldn't get close, with such an excuse, he had a valid reason.
Then, in the face of her gaze from expectation to disappointment again and again, such a cycle will only make him and her fall deeper and deeper.
Is this really fair to her?
"Don't make any noise!" Ling Li suddenly squatted down in pain, burst into tears, and muttered in her mouth, "You have to find her quickly, she can't be fine, otherwise, how can our family be worthy of Zhong Chengheng?" ”
Nan Zhiyi couldn't care about the confrontation with Zhu Jinchuan anymore, turned around, looked at the small lump in front of him, moved his lips but didn't speak, and couldn't suppress the distress in his eyes.
Ling Li suddenly stood up, clenched her fists with tears in the corners of her eyes: "No, I want to go to Guangwu." ”
After speaking, like the wind under her feet, she floated towards the position of the door, and Nanzhiyi couldn't pull her even if she was so fast.
However, as soon as she took a few steps, her steps began to stagger and a few seconds later, she fell straight and straight like that.
In a daze, Ling Li only felt that her body seemed to be burned by a fire, and her skin was so hot that a drop of water could evaporate immediately.
In the midst of the burning heat, it seemed that someone's hand was on her forehead.
In a daze, she took the hand that wanted to leave her forehead, hoping that he would stay a little longer.
Someone's whisper in her ear, with a reassuring breath: "Good, your bag of liquid is infusion, I'll call a doctor." ”
After that, she seemed to fall asleep.
When I woke up, there was silence around me, looking at the light outside the window, I didn't know if it was night or after dawn.
Ling Li sat up slowly, kept looking out the window, and after a few minutes, he saw that the scene outside was gradually becoming clearer and brighter.
It seems that it is already early in the morning. The sky is not yet fully bright, the clear and cold street lamps are hidden in the thin mist of the morning, and a few thick green banana leaves are gently swaying with the wind.
Raising his hand, there was an obvious needle hole on the back of his hand, which must have been pierced during the infusion.
These days were so sleepy that she didn't even notice any abnormal signals in her body, and eventually fell ill.
Suddenly, I remembered that when she was scorching, the palm with some cool temperature on her forehead was slightly stunned.
That's his hand, right? The position of the finger side and the tiger's mouth is a little calloused, and the touch when caressing the skin is different from others.
It seems that the scene of that day is in front of me again.
He took her hand and walked through the long dark alleyway in front of Ling Shuang's house, her heart was beating, and his steady snort in the dark, dry and warm big hands gave her peace of mind and the strength to keep going.
Only now, her insistence seems to have become a joke. Whether it is in the investigation of the case, or in the matter of liking Nanzhiyi, not only has there been no result, but also brings trouble and trouble to others.
However, she could still be sure that the hands she was in a trance should be his. But why can't you see him when you open your eyes?
"The illness came like a mountain, just a small inflammation, and as a result, you slept all night, and it was almost early in the morning before the fever finally subsided. What do you think? Would you like to eat? ”
Ling Li was still distracted, and a calm male voice came from the door. She turned her face sideways in a trance and saw Zhu Jinchuan standing against the door.
Seeing that she was staring at herself blankly but didn't speak, Zhu Jinchuan asked with a smile in her eyes: "What's wrong?" Is it strange to see me? Or was it a disappointment to see me? ”
Ling Li came back to her senses and immediately shook her head: "No, it's just, it's just that I've never seen you like ......this, Master."
As she spoke, her fingers looping around her lips. Zhu Jinchuan has always been happy and clean, and he has always taken care of himself fresh and clean, and with his current appearance with a little green skin on his chin, Ling Li has indeed never seen it before.
Zhu Jinchuan was slightly stunned, and smiled in the next second: "Yes, I have the spirit to make fun of Master, it seems that my condition has indeed improved." ”
Ling Li didn't dare to continue the topic, for fear of being teased by him again.
Zhu Jinchuan touched his chin that was a little prickly, and said, "Okay, I'll disappear for a while, I have a razor in the car, and I'll buy you breakfast by the way." ”
Ling Li nodded, watching him leave, the question in his heart was never asked.
Where did Nanzhiyi go?
Suddenly remembering something, she took out her mobile phone from her bag on the bedside, called up his number, but her heart was like pressing a big stone, and she couldn't press the call button.
After some entanglement, until Zhu Jinchuan came back, the phone call had not been made.
Zhu Jinchuan really went out and was tidy again, but the clothes were not changed and they were still the same as yesterday.
Not only did he shave his beard, but he also brought something to eat. A bowl of white porridge, a green vegetable bowl, and a small piece of tofu are light and easy to digest.
Ling Li was still sick, her mouth was bitter, and she didn't taste anything she ate, so she only ate half a bowl and pushed it away with a frown.
Zhu Jinchuan also didn't persuade her to eat more, and after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, he said to her: "You are tired and nervous these days, and you fell ill all of a sudden, so it is not suitable to put pressure on you again." Your case, I will ask the client to re-entrust and hand over the case to Xiao Lu, you can rest in peace. ”
Ling Li lowered her head, a little guilty: "I'm sorry Master, it's all my fault, not to mention the trouble I caused you, and I also brought the credit I had on it." ”
"It's okay, your body is more important, I didn't tell Uncle Zhang about your illness, you don't have to worry about them." Zhu Jinchuan said.
His voice was calm and composed, but Ling Li noticed that when he said it, he didn't even mention that topic.
But she still wanted to know.
Nan Zhiyi didn't leave any message for her, and she disappeared again, it must be because something happened again.
At this time, it must be a lot of things that can make him leave her drowsy.
Ling Li pursed her lips, raised her eyes to look at Zhu Jinchuan, and asked, "Zhong Zhuowen, is there any new news?"
Zhu Jinchuan's hand froze, obviously he didn't expect Ling Li to guess it so quickly.
He slowly put down the cup, sighed faintly, and replied: "I found it at two o'clock in the middle of the night, I was in a deep coma, and I am now being rescued in the Affiliated Hospital of Funan University."
Regarding the case of Zhong Zhuowen's disappearance, the Rudu Public Security Bureau immediately began to investigate after receiving the report, and later Li Guo learned that the case was related to Ling Li, and made great efforts to investigate.
However, the search did not go smoothly, as there were many abandoned coal mines in the surrounding area, and geological disasters were very likely to occur during the rainy season.
The most critical thing is that in the early morning of the previous day, there was only a torrential rain, and there were landslides and mudslides around the main road, and it was not clear whether Zhong Zhuowen's disappearance was due to a natural disaster or human factors.
At midnight, an hour before the rainstorm, Zhong Zhuowen was finally found.
Fortunately, she is not dead, but only dying, with a heavy blow to the head. The best thing is that if it is an hour later and there is another rainstorm, the consequences are difficult to say.
According to the police, Zhong Zhuowen should have been attacked, received a heavy blow to the head, fell into a deep coma and was thrown into a mud pit in the mountains, and then buried in a hastily buried with floating soil.
I don't know if the gangsters thought she was dead or wanted to bury her alive.
Thankfully, the dirt wasn't compacted, and there were gaps to breathe, and the heavy rain that followed washed away the dirt from her face, waking her up from shock and allowing her to struggle to climb up from the bottom of the pit.
It's a pity that the Zhong family reported the case too late, and the location was too remote, resulting in the discovery that when the police found her, she was already in a deep coma.
In such a situation, regardless of whether she can be rescued or not, it is said that the wound on her head has been exposed to the environment full of sand and mud for so long, and the risk of infection in the later stage is very high.
The police sent Zhong Zhuowen to the brain surgery department of the Affiliated Hospital of Funan University, the most authoritative hospital in the province, overnight, and the current situation is unknown.
When Ling Li woke up, it happened to be not long after Nan Zhiyi got the news and left.
After listening to Zhu Jinchuan finish saying the information he could grasp at present, Ling Li lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "Master, I want to go back, can you send me?" ”
Zhu Jinchuan's eyes changed slightly, but he still didn't ask after all, he just nodded.
