Chapter 441: The Old Place
Ling Li silently clenched her palms.
If it really doesn't work, when this matter is over, she will go to the imperial capital and find Nan Huairen and Ganwoyu.
But when she thought of another thin shadow, she couldn't help but feel guilty in her heart.
In this unexpected kidnapping incident, Zhu Jinchuan's injury was the most serious.
Shi Meina's two stabs obviously wanted his life, and even if she could escape, she suffered a big crime.
After he was rescued, his lungs were seriously infected and his life was in critical condition for a while, during which he was awake for a moment with strong willpower, and informed the police that it was the key clue of Shi Meina's plan, so that the police could find them in time.
Otherwise, it is difficult to say whether Nan Zhiyi and Ling Li would have been frozen to death that night.
Zhu Jinchuan stayed in the ICU for a month, and because of this, Ling Li couldn't leave him who was still struggling on the line of life and death to find Nan Zhiyi, and silently took on the responsibility of taking care of him.
She owes a lot of people in this life, and Zhu Jinchuan is one of them.
When returning from ordering food, when passing by the small garden downstairs, Ling Li unexpectedly saw Zhu Jinchuan, who was supposed to rest in the ward.
He was wearing a light blue hospital gown, his hair that had always been combed back to cover his forehead, and his face was pale and thin, but he had a calm demeanor that he had never had before.
She was stunned for a moment, walked over slowly, and shouted, "Master? ”
"Where did you go?" He asked softly.
"Didn't go anywhere...... Ling Li lowered her head in embarrassment, hiding her panic.
He looked at the top of her head fixedly and sighed softly, "I should be discharged tomorrow." ”
"Hmm." She nodded absentmindedly.
"During the period when I couldn't work, you handled the case of Xingshu and Qianfeng Company very well."
"Thank you." Ling Li still lowered her head.
"I have asked the financial Xiaolin to calculate the agency fee for you, deducting the part of the S320 and my X6 damage that has not been paid off by the insurance company, and there is still 1.2 million."
He paused, then continued, "I'll be credited to your account next day. ”
Ling Li finally looked up in shock: "Master, you don't have to be so outside. ”
Zhu Jinchuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
The next second, he pursed the corners of his lips: "Sure enough, you are still used to calling me Master, not by name." ”
Ling Li lowered her head a little weakly.
He sighed slightly: "Actually, I'm more used to you calling me like this, just like I'm used to calling you second sister." ”
Ling Li looked up in astonishment and met the clear light in his eyes.
"Sometimes I wonder if Qin Xinghai's case had not been deceived and concealed, would our situation today be different?"
Ling Li bit her lip and bowed her head silently, recalling some of the small throbbing she had with Zhu Jinchuan at that time.
It was like a passage from another world, if he hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten it.
"At first, I thought that this rift could be repaired, as long as I was kind to you, spoiled you, and took care of you, I could make up for the mistakes I made. Later, I found out that the rift had already made people take advantage of the void, and there would never be a chance between me and you. ”
Who that person is, she and him, both know it.
The tip of her nose was astringent, and she didn't want to continue the topic: "Don't mention the past, you take care of your injuries now, and talk about it when you heal." ”
He suddenly laughed: "When I recover from my injuries, do you dare to say that you will break up?" I'm going to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, so today is the last day for us or boyfriend and girlfriend? ”
Ling Li was stunned for a moment, and in the next second, she was at a loss, and her face was full of embarrassment that she had seen through.
Zhu Jinchuan observed her expression and hooked the corners of his mouth: "No matter in the past or now, you can't let go of him, right?" ”
Ling Li was stunned for a while, and then shook his head: "I didn't, he ...... He...... I ......"
After saying a few words that did not reach her meaning, her eyes began to quietly turn red.
Zhu Jinchuan looked at her with a complicated expression.
Even though she is no longer the rookie lawyer who handed over everything as soon as she was cheated, she is always as shallow as a bent stream in his eyes.
After a thousand words turned into a sigh, Zhu Jinchuan said: "I also know a little about Nan Zhiyi, he has avoided you again and again, probably because he is afraid that he will go crazy again and one day, and he is afraid of dragging you down." ”
He paused, smiled and asked her, "Are you afraid?" Are you afraid that he will become a madman? ”
Ling Li raised her eyes and shook her head resolutely.
"I knew that," he chuckled, "and I knew that if he died, you would go with him, wouldn't you?" ”
The thoughts that no one would know were revealed, and the emotions in her eyes could no longer be hidden, and in just a few seconds, tears rolled down.
Zhu Jinchuan took out a pack of toilet paper from his pocket, took out one and handed it to her. He had known that the kid would cry like a fool when he talked about it, so he came prepared.
Ling Li immediately took it and covered her mouth and nose with a whimper.
When she calmed down a little, he said, "Go, he is in Qiongzhou, where he once sold himself for you." ”
Ling Li looked up in surprise, and there was a thick nasal voice in her voice: "How do you know?" ”
"Nanzhiyi loves to play and disappears, so I naturally have to keep a hand. Do you remember that I had a good friend who was a detective? After I finished the operation, I called him and asked him to tie up and stare at Nanzhiyi. ”
After saying that, he handed over another tissue.
Ling Li took it and covered her eyes, and after more than ten seconds, the tissue was soaked into translucent with tears.
In the blurred vision, he smiled softly and gently: "Go second sister, there is no more obstacle between you." ”
Under the scorching sun, Nanzhiyi hid in the shade of the trees, holding the coconuts that the students bought from the old farmer, and drank them without a sip.
"Teacher, what now?"
A black and thin student, speaking Mandarin with a strong Qiongzhou flavor, asked.
Nan Zhiyi said very quickly: "You three waste wood, if you don't learn, you want to learn if I don't bring a mobile phone?" Okay now, there's no way to call Didi in the wilderness, do you want to walk back? What should I do if I die of heat? ”
The boy's face was full of grievances: "Teacher, isn't it that you said that mobile phones are the biggest enemy of scientists?" ”
Another tall and chubby boy was still muttering, "Didn't you say that mobile phones interfere with thinking?" ”
Nan Zhiyi rolled his eyes and waved his hand with irritability on his face: "I don't care, if you can't find a rental, you will be responsible for carrying me back." ”
He didn't mean this joke, his bones were broken in a few places, the injury to his thigh was not completely healed, and his feet really couldn't stand it if he walked for too long.
The remaining handsome boy pushed his glasses: "Okay!" Teacher, you say that we will carry it, and it is our responsibility to carry it. ”
The tall and fat boy took the lead and clenched his fists: "I have good physical strength, I can fight the main force!" ”
The three nerds nodded busily together, with undisguised flattery in their eyes.
The corners of Nan Zhiyi's mouth twitched: "I'll be angry with you sooner or later!" Really, it's better to give birth to the three of you than to give birth to a salted fish, at least you can eat! ”
The three boys who were not as good as salted fish obediently shut up, and they didn't dare to provoke Mr. Nan, who had menopausal syndrome.
Nan Zhiyi drank coconut to reduce his anger, and at the same time warned himself to guard against arrogance and rashness, and to be tolerant of fools.
It's easy to calm down, look at the direction of the road leading to the school, and look forward to it.
There is not a single ghost on this remote road, and it seems that I can only walk back today.
He sighed and realized that the location, the tree, the weather, and the time he was now were really familiar.
That day, it was so hot that the air began to distort in the thirties, and it was also noon, she ran in a huff, her little face was hot and red, and as soon as she came, she grabbed his mineral water and drank it wildly, and then another mouthful of water sprayed him wet.
After that, she finished scolding him, and began to sobble and cry again, blaming him for leaving her alone in the capital.
Since then, he has tried not to pay attention to her, tried to take the initiative to let go of her hand, and tried to push her to others.
He had failed her many, many times, and he felt that his sin was unforgivable when he thought about it.
But in all fairness, Zhu Jinchuan is indeed much better than him - he can make money, hurt people better than him, and his emotions are stable, and he knows how not to hurt Ling Li.
He knew that he shouldn't disturb Ling Li, so he quietly said goodbye after he was able to transfer to the hospital.
I don't even have the courage to say "I wish you happiness" to them in person.
However, reason can't resist the instinct of the body after all, so that these days, many unbelievable things are done.
It's like being tied to a diamond ring on her body, and the more she struggles, the tighter she becomes, and the more I miss her.
I'm afraid I won't be able to escape for the rest of my life.
