Chapter 54: Companionship, She Wakes Up
Tang Ji grinded at the door of the ICU for a while, but the nurse still didn't let him in, he could only stand at the window and look inside, and he could only see a silhouette of Tang Jingcheng lying on the bed with an oxygen tube inserted.
After watching like this for more than half an hour, Tang Ji turned around from the glass window and suddenly crashed into Guan Luo's eyes as black as an abyss.
Tang Ji staggered.
Guan didn't squeak. His expression was flat, but he took out the hand that was in his trouser pocket, and stood up a little straighter against the wall.
The lights in the hallway seemed to be extra bright at that moment.
This is not the first time they have met, not long ago in the trial of Yang Xi's case, Guan Luo appeared in court to testify for Tang Jingcheng, the two met in court at that time, but at that time Tang Ji only thought that he was an ordinary man, and it was amazing that his daughter had an ambiguous relationship with this man, but now the situation is completely different.
Gunshot wounds!
Although Tang Ji didn't know why Tang Jingcheng suddenly took a bullet, the word "gunshot wound" alone was enough to prove that the man in front of him had an unknown identity.
Tang Ji slowly paced in front of Guan Luo: "I don't care who you are, whether you help her or want to harm her, there is one thing I have to explain to you, I only have her as a daughter." If she has any bad pools. I'm going to make it hard for you one by one! ”
Tang Ji, who has always been generous and friendly, the dean of the Institute of Literature and History, the doctoral supervisor of history, and the current director of the Yunling Museum, will also show a fierce face when he is really forced to do this. Fight on the soil.
Guan Luo didn't speak, but his lips unconsciously rose up.
Tang Ji looked at him heavily. dragged his staggering steps away, the back in the corridor was no longer heroic, Qiu Qiguan's death not only pushed Tang Jingcheng into hell, but also pushed Tang Ji to the edge of the cliff.
Sin is like a net, and if you take one wrong step, you will never be able to break free from it.
Then Tang Ji came to the hospital every day, once in the morning and once in the evening, and when he came, he went directly to the ICU to accompany Tang Jingcheng, and sometimes he would talk to her in a chattering manner, telling interesting stories about her childhood.
Tang Jingcheng's mother died when she was very young, and since she was sensible, she only had her father in her memory, and Tang Ji did spend a lot of effort on her, and the father-daughter relationship between the two was particularly deep.
Two days later, Tang was out of danger. Transfer from ICU to general ward.
It's just that since Tang Ji came, Guan Luo never went into the ward to see Tang Jingcheng, he came to the hospital when he was empty, sat on the chair at the door of the ward, and sat for a few hours without saying a word.
None of the nurses and doctors in the hospital dared to speak, and the downstairs of the inpatient building and the corridor of the ward were full of people from the Jiurong Society, guarding in shifts, and the blind eye could see that the identity of the woman lying in the ward was not ordinary.
A week has passed in the blink of an eye, and Tang Jingcheng has not woken up.
Guan Luo is still the same, almost every day he has to go to the hospital to sit for a while, and at other times he still does the same thing, and he still goes back to the villa to accompany Qingxiao.
The incident of Chi Feng's return to Yunling soon spread to Yunnan, and Ye Qin made a special trip to Kunming for this purpose, dealt with some people who did not understand the rules, and also "appeased" the emotions in Yunnan by the way.
As a result, the next day, Fan Qingyan flew to see Guan Luo.
"Brother Jiu. I believe that my sister's death has nothing to do with you, please spare my brother-in-law a lot, he is also because he is sad to do such a bastard thing......"
Fan Qingyan knelt in front of him holding Guan Luo's knees, almost a handful of tears and snot.
“… I know the rules of Jiurongtai, and I also know that my brother-in-law has done a lot of things that should not be done over the years, but he is also deceived by interests, I have not persuaded him before, but he didn't listen, this time he planted a big heel, maybe someone within us is provoking the relationship between you and my brother-in-law......"
Fan Qingyan, a tall and strong man, knelt in front of Guan Luo and cried for a long time, and Ye Tan couldn't listen to it at the door.
It was only after half a salary that I saw him come out of it, and that look was sad.
Ye Qin pushed the door in, and Guan Luo was sitting at the window with his chin propped up and rubbing his fingers.
"Brother Jiu, which one is this Fan Qingyan making trouble? came to Yunling from Tengchong from all afar, just crying with you? ”
Guan slightly sneered: "He's acting for me!" ”
On the surface, Fan Qingyan is interceding for Chi Feng, but in fact, he is coming to Guan Luo to show his "loyalty", in the end, Fan Lili is still his sister-in-law, and now his sister has been killed, and Yunnan feels that it is Guan Luo's hand, but as a younger brother, he firmly believes that the murderer is someone else, so his position is very clear, and he clearly wants to stand on Guan Luo's side.
It's just that Guan Xiao has always been accurate in knowing people.
"Brother Jiu, do you mean that Fan Qingyan came to you to behave?"
Guan Luo snorted coldly: "He acted well, Chi Feng put him in a few small places in Tengchong Tube, which really buried him." He rubbed his fingers as he spoke, but the frequency gradually slowed down, and finally stopped, looking up at Ye Tan.
"Since he has come to show his loyalty, I will give him what he wants!"
Ye Qin didn't understand a little, and asked with a little hesitation: "Brother Jiu, do you want to transfer the surname Fan to Kunming?" ”
"Yes, I can't let him cry with me for nothing!"
"But Chi Feng hasn't been found yet, aren't you afraid that he will run back to Kunming to join forces with Fan Qingyan? Anyway, they are half relatives! ”
Guan Luo laughed all of a sudden, and smiled very lightly.
"Why have you stayed in Jiurongtai for so many years and still don't know how to look at faces and recognize people? To say that it is not me who wants Chi Feng to die the most, but this Fan Qingyan. ”
Ye Qin didn't know: "Why?" ”
"Because Fan Qingyan wants to sit firmly in the position of the head of Kunming, this person is smarter than Chi Feng, Chi Feng has courage, but after all, he lacks some brains, but Fan Qingyan is different, this person is ambitious and can endure, he was just used by Chi Feng to cut off two fingers some time ago, and it is estimated that he has more than a little resentment against Chi Feng, so the position of the head of Kunming is the most suitable for him to sit in, and I also want to find out from him who is intensifying the contradiction between me and Chi Feng!"
Guan Luo felt that Fan Qingyan was right just now, Fan Lili's death was not an accident, then someone must be using her to provoke trouble, and the other party may be someone inside Jiurongtai, after all, there are many uncles from all over the country who have not accepted Guan Luo in recent years.
Ye Qin thought about it a little in his heart, it was indeed this reason.
"Then when will the news of Fan Qingyan's promotion to the head of Yunnan be announced?"
"Let's take it slowly, let's wait until he returns to Yunnan." Guan Luo put his hand on his forehead, turned to look at his watch again, took the car keys and got up.
"I'll go out."
Ye Qin naturally knew where he was going, chased a few steps and asked, "Brother Jiu, it's so late today, are you still going?" ”
Guan Luo didn't answer, stopped and walked out.
At that time, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and there were not so many cars on the city road, so Guan Luo drove to the hospital, and every intersection he passed was already very familiar, and he had to drive this route almost every day in the last few days, sometimes more than once.
Especially at the intersection where I was about to turn into the hospital parking lot, there was a coffee shop on the corner diagonally opposite, and I turned left at the red light for 30 seconds, and I was always stuck here during the morning and evening rush hour, and tonight was no exception.
Guan Luo watched the numbers on the traffic light beat little by little, and was very irritable, opened the car window, let the cold wind in, and stayed up until the mobile phone rang when the lights were about to turn.
"Brother Jiu, Miss Tang is awake."
The subordinate guarding the door of the ward called him, and in that trance he felt that the traffic lights in front of him were blurred, and he did not come back to his senses until the horns of other cars sounded behind him, urging him to turn.
"Got it!" Guan slightly hung up the phone, turned the car around, but instead of driving into the hospital parking lot, turned to the coffee shop diagonally opposite, took a cup of hot mocha, paid, got into the car, stepped on the accelerator and turned the car to drive away.
Guan Luo went back to the suburban villa, pushed open the bedroom door, and saw Lou Qingxiao sitting alone in a wheelchair at the window.
"Why don't you turn on the lights?" He pressed the switch with his hand, and the bedroom lit up instantly, Lou Qingxiao didn't expect Guan Luo to come in suddenly, and the cold expression on his face didn't have time to turn around for a while.
Guan Luo saw guilt in his heart.
Lou Qingxiao hurriedly twisted the corners of her eyes with her hand, and asked with a slight smile: "Why did you come back so early today?" ”
He didn't answer, and raised the coffee in his hand: "Give you the Mocha to take." ”
"Thanks, but aren't you not allowed me to drink coffee at night?" Guan Luo used to always say that drinking coffee at night would affect his sleep, and Lou Qingxiao's sleep quality was not good, so he set a rule that he was not allowed to drink at night.
This time he bought a cup by himself and came back, how to explain it?
Guan Luo smiled casually: "It's rare once, the newly opened store, I saw a lot of people queuing up when I passed by, and it should taste good." ”
Lou Qingxiao must have drunk it, she hurriedly pushed her wheelchair over and took the paper cup, but unfortunately all the way from the city to the villa, the coffee was almost cold.
Lou Qingxiao took a sip and frowned.
"What? Bad taste? ”
"It's a little cold, and when it's cold, I feel very bitter."
"That's not drinking." Guan Luo directly took the paper cup in her hand and threw it into the trash, took out two bottles of medicine from the drawer and handed them to Lou Qingxiao.
"Go to bed early after eating."
Lou Qingxiao didn't take the medicine, and looked at him strangely: "I've taken it." ”
"Oh." Guan muffled his voice slightly, turned around and put the medicine back in the drawer, Lou Qingxiao felt that this man was really wrong tonight.
"Brother Jiu, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as Guan Wei's hand slipped, the action of closing the drawer was a little heavy, and it almost hit it directly.
"Bang", Lou Qingxiao was startled, she could see that he was in a bad mood tonight.
"Is Miss Tang in a bad condition?"
"......" Guan didn't answer, standing in the shadow of the light with his back to Lou Qingxiao, he couldn't see his face, only heard his somewhat hoarse voice: "I'll go take a bath first, and stay here tonight to accompany you." ”
Lou Qingxiao didn't take sleeping pills that night, and she slept surprisingly well, probably because Guan Xiao slept next to her, she could reach out and wrap her arms around his waist, and her body temperature was close, and she felt at ease.
It's just that Guan Luo couldn't sleep at all, and his heart was very dry, as if there were thousands of claws scratching him.
He slept until the early hours of the morning, he still got up, put on a coat and sat on the terrace to smoke, the cold wind rose, the smoke star was blown bright and red, he put his hand into the pocket of his coat, and felt a hard thing, which was the voice recorder that Lao Mai gave him before.
Guan Luo put the cigarette in his mouth and pressed the "play button......
