Chapter 31: Repentance

On the night of September 18, 2015, in the No. 2 confinement room in District X, Gu Song had been struggling to survive in this small dark room for a week.

For seven days, Zhong Xin did not appear again. Except for chatting a few words with the guards who came to deliver food every day, Gu Song couldn't find anyone to communicate with.

Before he was "imprisoned", he was originally a person who loved to talk and laugh, and his heart was full of sunshine, but when he arrived here, he had to play the perverted murderer he hated the most, had to live with those dangerous criminals, had to pretend to be strong, made everyone fear him, had to say something that he hated, and did things he hated. This feeling made him very depressed, but in order to save his life, he had to grit his teeth and persevere.

What made him feel even more devastated was that others were psychologically prepared when they were undercover, but he fell into the most dangerous tiger's den without knowing it, and became an "undercover agent" by mistake.

He certainly understands how dangerous his situation is, and once his identity is revealed, no one will believe that he came here just to find a friend. Except for the undercover agent sent by the police, what cop would find such a ghost place for no reason?

But in fact, the leaders of the bureau did not know that such an underground prison existed in the depths of the distant Liangshan Mountain, let alone what a terrible conspiracy was being staged here.

So far, it seems that he can only pin his hopes on Zhong Xin. However, seven days have passed, where is Zhong Xinren?

Just when Gu Song was deeply worried about the future, he didn't know what was happening in R City, hundreds of kilometers away. Zhong Xin did not abandon him, nor did he forget that he had promised him to have a good talk with Professor Sun. However, Professor Sun, who saved his life in the first place, unfortunately suffered an accident a few days ago.

On the morning of September 12, 2015, Qiao Sheng was driving to his house when he encountered a tragic car accident. An out-of-control large truck flattened a Wuling van and triggered a multi-vehicle rear-end collision, resulting in three deaths and four injuries. One of the patients who was seriously injured was Professor Sun Guangzhong, the head of R&D at Ryan Pharmaceutical.

Because of this incident, Zhong Xin left the prison in a hurry before he had time to say hello to Gu Li.

The accident resulted in a fracture of Sun Guangzhong's skull, rupture of abdominal organs, and multiple soft tissue contusions throughout his body. After the surgery, Sun Guangzhong woke up several times intermittently, but his consciousness was blurred and he could not talk normally. It wasn't until a few minutes ago that he really came to his senses and saw Zhong Xin with the doctor's permission.

During the period when Sun Guangzhong was not out of danger, Zhong Xin stayed in the hospital almost every day. At this time, he sat in front of the hospital bed with a tired face, looking at the old man on the hospital bed with scars and gray temples, and felt very uncomfortable. Although many colleagues from the company have visited Professor Sun in the hospital, it is mostly out of courtesy, and few people really care about Professor Sun's safety.

This easy-going and kind-hearted old scholar has dedicated most of his life to scientific research, trained many outstanding students, and is respected and loved on weekdays. But when he needs care and care the most, there are very few people who can be by his side. This is really one of the great sorrows of life.

"You're finally awake." Zhong Xin held back the sadness in his heart and looked at each other with the calmest expression possible.

Sun Guangzhong lay quietly for a while. As he gradually got used to the pain in various parts of his body, he asked softly, "What time is it today?" ”

"On September 18th, you've been asleep for six days."

"Yes, it's been so long......" Sun Guangzhong closed his eyes slightly, trying to recall the accident, but unfortunately his mind was only blank.

"How are you feeling right now? Is there anything particularly uncomfortable? ”

"It's okay, at least I remember who I am, and I'm not confused." Sun Guangzhong smiled reluctantly and continued, "Zhong Xin, there are some things I have to explain to you today, and I am afraid that I will not have a chance in the future." ”

"Don't be discouraged, you'll be fine."

"The world is unpredictable, so let everything be left to fate. What I want to tell you today is that in the underground prison before, I arranged for you to protect a prisoner named Wei Chiliang, who actually ......"

"Professor, I know it all." Without waiting for Sun Guangzhong to finish speaking, Zhong Xin took over the conversation. "Through DNA comparison, I found out that Wei Chiliang in prison is an impostor. His real name is Gu Li, and he is an investigator of the criminal police detachment of R City. He went to the underground prison to investigate a case of disappearance. The missing person's name is Qin Yu, a drug developer at Ryan Pharmaceutical, and an employee you admire the most. Because of the investigation, you and Gu Liao have already met in the company. On the afternoon of September 3rd, you were the one who helped him hide his identity and successfully deceived Old Tang, am I right? ”

Hearing this, Sun Guangzhong didn't show too much surprise, as if he had expected such a result. "I didn't expect you to find out so soon." He smiled with relief and said, "It seems that you two have already communicated well. It's okay that way, it can save me a lot of trouble. ”

"Yes, I've learned the whole thing. I just want to know now, why did you take the risk of helping Gu Liao hide his identity? Aside from the fact that he is Qin Yu's friend, there should be other reasons for you to do this, right? ”

"You're right." Sun Guangzhong took a deep breath, his bloodshot eyes staring at the ceiling, and a look of remorse appeared on his face. "Actually, I realized that I had made a terrible mistake. When the pilot project was first launched, I raised my objections to the organization, but everyone but me was eager to raise their hands in favor. Later, I was outnumbered and persuaded by their incorruptible tongue. Slowly, I became obsessed with the research.

"Over time, however, I began to feel a sense of uneasiness in my conscience. Especially in the face of the negative results of those trials, I became more aware of the inhumanity of what we were doing.

"I've thought about quitting more than once, but the experiment needs me, and there's no way they'll let me go. I also thought about denounce the crimes of the organization, but I really didn't have the courage to do so. You don't need me to explain, you also know that this matter involves a lot of rich and powerful people, and going against them is tantamount to killing yourself. Even if I seek help from the police with evidence, I am not sure that the police will be able to settle the matter completely, and I will be retaliated against by them in the future.

"At the end of 2014, a female employee in the company accidentally learned about the project. At first, the organization wanted to pull her into the gang, but she didn't agree. Fearing that she would leak her secrets, the organization disposed of her, and no one has found her body until now. Qin Yu also had an accident because he was involved with this project.

"Because of Qin Yu's disappearance, Gu Liao and I met in the company. Although we didn't talk much at the time, I thought the young man was very clever and seemed to have slowly approached the truth in the process of investigation. At the time, I was conflicted, hoping that he would find out something that would bring the police to the attention of the police about this huge conspiracy. But at the same time, I was afraid that he would be too deeply involved and eventually cause death.

"I was shocked when I first saw him in prison, but I soon realised that my opportunity had come. Since he was able to find that place, it means that he already has some information. I couldn't watch him being killed by the people above, so I told Don that guy was a wanted criminal and we should lock him up for study. Lao Tang has always respected my opinion, believed in my words, and recognized Gu Liao as Wei Chiliang, who was wanted by the police.

"Helping Gu Liao save his life is one reason, and it is one of my wishes to use him to destroy the organization. After all, Gu Liao is an imposter criminal, and I am worried that he will not be able to adapt to life in prison, and I am afraid that he will be bullied by prisoners, so I let you watch him secretly. I didn't expect that kid to enter the play very quickly, and he was a ruthless character, which had to make me look at him with admiration.

"I thought when I entrusted him to you that you would most likely investigate his identity. I'm not worried about that, though, because I know you, and you can't hurt him. No matter what your current identity is or what you're doing, you'll never be able to hurt a cop who does justice, let alone someone from the R City Criminal Police Detachment. I wanted to find the right time to confess everything to you and end this nightmare as soon as possible. I didn't expect to be in that car accident. Alas, I regret it now, I don't know if I have a chance to atone for my sins......"

Sun Guangzhong finished these words with difficulty, and a layer of fine beads of sweat had oozed from his forehead. Zhong Xin wiped his sweat and comforted him, "Professor, don't worry." If destroying the Organisation is your wish, I will do whatever it takes to make it happen. Whether it's an experiment or an organization, none of this has anything to do with me. All I want to do is repay your kindness. ”

"I'm sorry, kid, please forgive me for being selfish......" Sun Guangzhong looked at Zhong Xin with apologetic eyes, his eyes were a little moist. I really shouldn't have involved you. You've managed to come out of the shadows of three years ago, and now I'm really sorry for letting you do such a dangerous thing......"

"No, don't say that." Zhong Xin shook his head and gently held Sun Guangzhong's hand. He also had a few questions that he wanted to ask the professor to understand. But at this moment, the monitoring equipment in the ward suddenly sounded a shrill alarm.

Perhaps because he was too emotional just now, Sun Guangzhong lost consciousness again. I saw his head tilted back, his eyes turned up, his face turned blue, and the muscles of his whole body twitched uncontrollably.

Soon, several doctors in white coats rushed into the ward. Zhong Xin was about to ask them what was wrong with Professor Sun, when he was suddenly pushed out of the door by a female nurse with amazing strength.

Immediately afterward, the scene in front of me became unreal. That was the last time Zhong Xin had a face-to-face conversation with Sun Guangzhong. It all happened so suddenly that he didn't even have time to call the man "Daddy".
