Chapter 31: Assassination
Ruolin chased other children in the amusement factory made of blue and white resin balls, sometimes screaming, sometimes laughing, excited like a Labrador who had only untied her collar, scurrying around and having fun. It may not seem like a good analogy, but it's the best way I can think of it at the moment.
I watched her run around like that, with a simple little happiness on her face that was unadulterated. She should be very happy, the three people who were connected by her, she should be the happiest, and then it may be Lin Jing, and then no one will be happy after that. It's not that I'm simply unhappy, but I can't describe it, anxious, annoyed, surprised, panicked, in short, nothing is happy.
It's not that I don't like Ruolin, it's that I'm not ready to accept someone calling me Dad. So when Lin Jing appeared in front of me with her, Xiao Ruolin walked over slowly, and called me dad timidly, I was so surprised that I forgot to agree, and I didn't know whether I should reach out and hug her, or let her sit down first, and wait for me to recognize it clearly.
Fortunately, Xiao Ruolin is very smart and knows how to read the faces of adults. When I didn't respond, she obediently sat down on the sofa opposite. By the time I came to my senses, her attention had shifted to the playground next door. Depression left empty for me.
Lin Jing's reappearance has brought me a lot of shock, although it is already in the past, but as she said, not everything can get by. On the one hand, I felt guilty for failing her feelings and taking advantage of her. On the one hand, I felt annoyed, if it weren't for a lie she told at the time, Ru Jing wouldn't have left me decisively on the wedding day. As for whether I have ever loved this woman, even a little bit of heartbeat, I can't tell myself. After knowing each other for so many years, it is impossible to have no feelings, but that should not be love. Especially after meeting Ru Canteen, I became more and more aware of this.
At the beginning, after Lin Jing left, regardless of the criticism of the outside world, regardless of the opposition of her family and the ridicule, criticism, and even expulsion of relatives and friends, she accompanied or pestered me, a loser who was abandoned by Ru Jing and framed by her, day and night, I know that at that time she was under no less pressure and hurt than me. I can't say she's doing it on her own, because the problem is with me, so I have no reason to blame her.
From the time I began to compromise with the pressure of my parents and agreed to get engaged to her, to the resolute withdrawal of the marriage for the sake of love, to the final drunken disorder that made her give birth to Ruolin after the breakup, every time, it was my sake that made her fall into her own emotional whirlpool. So now, is Ruolin's appearance to give me a chance to atone for my sins? So what about Ru Can, am I going to turn my back on her again in the place closest to her?
Lin Jing didn't explain much about the sudden departure at that time, and she didn't exaggerate how she raised Ruolin alone for so many years, but simply said when Ruolin was born. The focus is on Ruolin's growth process, living habits, personality and hobbies. This soothed me a little, and since I had no reason to doubt, it was necessary to know a little more, no matter what I ultimately planned to do with my relationship with the mother and daughter.
Around 2:00 p.m., she suddenly said that there was still something to do, and asked me to play with Ruolin for a while, and she would come to pick up Ruolin later. Before leaving, she also specially explained that she would definitely come back to pick up Ruolin, telling me not to be nervous, but I just hoped that I would be alone with the child for a while as much as possible to establish a relationship, and she left after speaking.
Since she left, I put Ruolin into the playground and let her play with the children by herself, I sat on the sofa outside and watched, waving to her from time to time to indicate that I was still here.
And in fact, my heart has long been ready to evacuate, Ru Jing will be discharged from the hospital today, and she will move back to her home in Shenzhen to be taken care of by Gao Fei, I really want to go to see her, otherwise I want to go to her house to see her, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, Gao Fei's hostility towards me is too obvious. Presumably he knew about the farce at the wedding, and that incident hurt Ru Jing a lot, so it should be that Gao Fei didn't have a good impression of me as a person, and it was natural that he didn't let me get close to Ru Can.
Now that I have Ruolin again, I'm not qualified to fight for Ru Jing's forgiveness. It is most appropriate for Gao Fei to take care of Ru Jing at present. I really want to go and see Ru Jing, to see the woman I have been missing for three years, looking for three years, the woman who almost became my wife.
The phone rang, it was Dr. Hu, and I hated him a little in my heart. I want to know that it was the identification sample he provided to Lin Jing. Now it's time to call and apologize, and I don't have any reason not to forgive.
"Dr. Hu, what's the matter?"
"Yu Huai, where are you?" Dr. Hu's tone was a little nervous
"Is there anything wrong with you in the mall?"
"Is Lin Jing with you?" He really knew, and sure enough, he helped, did he tell Lin Jing that Ru Jing was also in this city, and he lived in a hospital not far from here.
"No, she's just gone. Are you looking for her or me? "I'm a little tired of his upset.
"Yu Huai, I'm sorry, I told Lin Jing that you found Ru Jing, and helped her do a paternity test sampling." Sure enough, it was for the sake of apology, and there was no sincere rhetoric. But I still have to forgive, and every one of them knows that I have no reason not to forgive.
"I see, do you have anything else?"
"Lin Jing already knows about Ru Jing's hospitalization, and she seems to have visited the hospital two days ago."
"She's been there? How did I not know? Did she see Ru Canteen? Lin Jing really knew why she wanted to see Ru Jing. Are you going to tell Ru Jing that she has given birth to Ruolin for me?
"No, it was said that the ward had to be swiped to enter, so I didn't see it."
"That's good," I breathed a sigh of relief. I also went to see Ru Jing two days ago, could it be that she was at that time?
"But I always felt that it was wrong, she asked me two days ago where I could buy succinylcholine,"
"What's that? What did she buy that for? ”
"Succinylcholine is an anesthetic, and an overdose can be fatal, I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but I always think it has something to do with her asking about Ru Jing. I'm worried about ......"
"Are you worried that she wants to kill Ru Jing?" It was a bit unbelievable, but I felt like something was hitting my heart violently.
"This is just my conjecture, I didn't say that Lin Jing was going to kill Ru Jing, she was at most using it to scare and scare people."
"And she bought it?"
"I'm not sure about this, but Lin Jing came this morning, and then I found that the syringe I put in the consultation room was missing, and then, I remember that Lin Jing said that he was going to see Ru Jing with you, I don't know if it would be..."
"We didn't say we were going to see Ru Canter."
"That's good, that's good, but do you know where Lin Jing went?" Dr. Hu said nervously for a while.
"I don't know, isn't it, is it ......" a dangerous thought flashed through my mind. I immediately hung up the phone and asked Ruolin to come back, and then rushed all the way to the Binhai Hospital.
rushed to the hospital and met Jiang Nan in the lobby, Ru Jing didn't seem to have left the hospital yet, looking at Jiang Nan's leisurely appearance, there should be nothing wrong, maybe Lin Jing was not as crazy as I thought, or I was too careful from the beginning. But I just have a feeling of uneasiness, no matter what, I must find Lin Jing.
I hugged Ruolin, ran through the corridor, entered the elevator, and went straight up to the 7th floor in one breath. I didn't see Lin Jing all the way, and I didn't see Gao Fei and the others who were carrying Ru Jing. However, in this special clinic today, there seem to be more people than the previous times, all sitting on the stone benches in the green space, as if chatting and waiting for something. I walked down the hallway, one step at a time to Ru Canter's room. The door of the ward was open, and Xiaoxiao seemed to have just come out of the ward, and was walking towards the other end of the corridor with his back to me, and at this moment, I saw the corner of Lin Jing's clothes.
It was her, she was standing in the room, near the door. I don't know if she's just gone in or if she's been standing there for a long time. Gao Fei, if she was not inside, did she see her, did she hold the syringe, did she really prepare succinylcholine. I didn't have time to think about it so much, so in order to speed up, I put Ruolin in the corridor and rushed towards the ward. At the same time shouting:
"Lin Jing, Lin Jing!" Hearing me shouting, she turned to look at me with a smile, and although she didn't know what was happening, she immediately turned back.
I have already rushed to the door, Zhang Yan was fiddling with his back to the door, Lin Jing heard my voice and sped up her pace, she rushed up, lifted the quilt on Ru Canteen's body, ripped off Ru Can's collar, raised her right hand, and really held a syringe in her hand. In desperation, I shouted "stop" and rushed forward, grabbed her wrist from behind, and lifted her back. She was dragged by me and almost fell to the ground, but she immediately turned around and took the syringe with her other hand, trying to struggle and finish the injection with the other hand.
Hearing my shout, Zhang Fei turned around, Gao Fei walked out of the balcony with his mobile phone, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they immediately understood the situation in front of them, Gao Fei ran over and blocked Lin Jing and Ru Jing.
Lin Jing was held by me behind me, one hand was in my hand, and the other hand was holding the needle, waving it in the air, Gao Fei blocked in front of Ru Jing, trying to snatch the needle from Lin Jing's hand. Zhang Yan and Xiaoxiao, who ran back, the two of them bypassed us, and quickly pushed Ru Jing behind Gao Fei and the bed to the edge of the floor-to-ceiling window, away from the fight between the three of us.
At this moment, Lin Jing's wielded needle slashed through Gao Fei's wrist, and the sharp needle cut a long button on his hand, and blood flowed. Xiaoxiao screamed in fright, and Zhang Yan rushed up to help. The three of us worked together to snatch the needle from Lin Jing's hand and control Lin Jing.
"Lin Jing, don't make any more trouble, if you kill Ru Jing, you will also be punished, what will Ruolin do then? What about Ruolin? I shouted at Lin Jing.
"Lin Jing?" A look of contempt and disgust appeared on Gao Fei's face. I was already able to hug Lin Jing, I pulled her to the side, rushed over with a smile, and hurriedly checked the wound.
"Why did she kill Ru Canteen?" Zhang Yan held the needle and looked at it, "What is this?" ”
"Why did you kill Ru Can, I've already accepted Ruolin, why do you still want to kill Ru Cana?" I hugged Lin Jing behind my back. She slowly calmed down, tears slowly welled up from the corners of her eyes, and she sat down on the ground, crying silently.
The people present, including me, watched her cry bitterly, and they didn't know what to do. In the end, Zhang Yan took the tissue on the table next to him and handed it to me. I cautiously let go of Lin Jing, took the tissue and handed it to her. She took the tissue and began to cry, and I was suddenly shaken, what happened to the panic just now and the shock now.
Gao Fei held his injured arm and retreated to Ru Jing's side, Xiaoxiao stood next to him, helping to tidy up Ru Jing's clothes, recovering the quilt, and Zhang Yan also blocked in the middle. The three of them looked at Lin Jing and me vigilantly and angrily.
"Enough trouble? If you've had enough trouble, let's go, while we haven't called the police yet. Zhang Yan said to me. He obviously saw the reason for this, and he was full of disgust for me.
"Yu Huai, don't get close to Ru Hua in the future." Gao Fei's voice was cold and resentful. Yes, it seems that it is better for me not to get close to Ru Jing in the future, I never knew that Lin Jing would do such a terrible thing because of his hatred for Ru Can. Just a little bit later, one step later, Ru Jing may really die.
I helped Lin Jing up, she tried her best to restrain her emotions and stood up with me. Then he wiped away his tears and turned to look at me, without the madness and ferocity just now, and changed back to that stubborn appearance.
"What about Ruolin?" She seems to have returned to normal.
"Outside, let's go, I'll send you back." I put my arm around her shoulders and walked out, Ru Jing, we will see you again, I should not come to see you again in the future, for you, for Lin Jing, for Ruolin. But as I walked to the door and looked down the hallway, my brain thumped.
Ruolin is gone..............
