Chapter 16: Broken Trust
When Yang Wenbin woke up again, he was woken up by the sound of dripping water next to his ears. He opened his eyes, turned his head, and saw Yan Junli sitting next to him, soaking the towel over and over again in the dark, and then putting it on his forehead.
"You're finally awake." After discovering that Yang Wenbin woke up, Yan Junli seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "It's really going to make trouble." β
Yang Wenbin sat up on the bed and blinked a little confused, "How long have I been asleep?" β
"More than a day." Yan Junli said angrily.
"Oh my God...... My head hurts. Yang Wenbin rubbed his head and complained.
"You're having a fever, of course your head hurts, just lie down." Yan Junli stood up and wanted to help Yang Wenbin to lie down, but the latter waved his hand and refused.
"It's okay, I'm not that vulnerable." Yang Wenbin took a deep breath, "What happened later?" Have you found Xia Baiyan and Ye Heshuo? β
"Nope." Yan Junli handed the clean towel to Yang Wenbin, "That underground torture room is accessible in all directions, and there is not only one exit, I estimate that these two people have already found a way to escape." β
"Oh my God...... It's all my fault. Yang Wenbin suddenly collapsed, he was glad that the light in the room was turned off now, otherwise he might not have looked directly at Yan Junli for several weeks. He took a deep breath and rubbed his palm against his cheek hard, "I can't ...... At the time, I couldn't help it...... I ......"
"Oh, oh, take your time, I'm not in a hurry." Yan Junli put his hand on his shoulder, "Take your qi well." β
Yang Wenbin nodded reluctantly, took a deep breath, and suddenly lost how to tell Yan Junli the whole story.
When a person is not sure whether he is experiencing reality or illusion, how can he let the people closest to him understand?
"My parents. I know who they are. I know why I've been targeted. Yang Wenbin looked at Yan Junli, and his eyes showed a look like ashes.
Yan Junli was frightened by Yang Wenbin's eyes, his mouth opened, and he could only ask, "What the hell is going on?" β
"Xia Baiyan - clown. He led me to find Qin Weicai. Oh, by the way, Qin Weicai is the leather jacket in that videotape......"
Yan Junli interrupted him and nodded calmly, "I know." In order to find you, Xiaohong and I tracked it all the way here. β
Yang Wenbin nodded, "And then ...... Finally we found him in the torture room, he was tortured very badly by the sand eagle, and then soon we had a good encounter with Poppy and Ye Heshuo, oh my God. Can you believe that? Poppy is Ye Heshuo's daughter, and she has been lying to me before. In a word...... Later, Xia Baiyan took the poppy as a hostage, and we delayed it for a while, and you rushed over. I took Qin Weicai to try to rescue him, but he woke up halfway and fled to the rooftop......"
Yan Junli nodded patiently again, "And then?" β
"Then he said to me, 'You clown lackey'. I thought he misunderstood that Xia Baiyan and I were in the same group, so I tried my best to explain, and then he said-" Yang Wenbin took a deep breath, "He said, 'What kind of Lao Tzu there is, what kind of cub'." β
"What?" Yan Junli was stunned, and looked at Yang Wenbin in disbelief, "What does he mean?" Is heβ"
"Yan Junli." Yang Wenbin interrupted Yan Junli, the expression on his face was unusually calm, it was so calm that it was abnormal, he said calmly in a toneless voice, "When I passed out, I had a dream. I remember when I was in elementary school, my mom brought back a boy who was about my age, named Natsu. Do you know? My parents never had any relatives. I didn't think it was strange at the time. Whether it's grandparents, grandparents, or other seven aunts and eight aunts, I have never had. I've only seen the two of them. That's right, haven't you wondered why it was Zhu Bo and not some of my relatives who adopted me after the death of both my parents? Isn't it strange when you think about it? β
Yan Junli frowned and said, "Wen Bin......"
Yang Wenbin raised a hand, "Don't interrupt me, I haven't finished yet." No one has ever looked for me since I disappeared from the hospital, and no one has ever visited me when I was in the hospital. I never knew what my parents' job was, they never talked about it at home, I told my classmates that they were teachers, and that was just my guess, but then my memory was blurred, and I really thought they were just teachers. But no, they don't just go to work on time during the day, sometimes they don't come back in the middle of the night or all night, I never know where they go. Even if I asked them, they just said, 'Something'. The strangest thing was that they brought back Natsu that day, and he said that he didn't have a name, and he told me that he would inherit my parents' jobs...... You see, even I don't know what my parents do, so why would this kid of unknown origin know? Don't you think it's weird! Yang Wenbin became excited as he spoke.
"Wen Bin, stop, you just listened to that person's words!" Yan Junli had to raise his voice in the same way to overshadow Yang Wenbin, "You don't know what's going on at all!" β
"No, I know! I always knew that! It's just that I don't want to admit it! Yang Wenbin yelled excitedly, "This is an obvious fact, damn it's too obvious!" Why? I keep asking why! Because my real parents, they are the founders of the clown I have been looking for! β
"Calm down! You're still having a fever! Yan Junli forcefully pressed Yang Wenbin's shoulder, "You don't have any evidence yet!" Where has your usual thoughtful thinking gone? β
Yang Wenbin let out a dejected breath, stopped yelling at Yan Junli, and leaned on the back of the bed.
"Wen Bin, I don't think you're quite sane right now." Yan Junli also sat down slowly, but his eyes kept on Yang Wenbin, "You know...... The month you disappeared, you may have been drugged by the Joker. The medicine is already good, and God knows exactly what he does to your brain. β
"You suspect I'm doing this because he drugged me?" Yang Wenbin looked at Yan Junli in disbelief, "I know what I'm talking about!" I know what's going on right now! β
"Of course, of course." Yan Junli hurriedly said, "I swear, it's definitely not that I don't believe you, it's just ......"
"You don't think I'm telling you the whole truth, do you?" Yang Wenbin interrupted Yan Junli's words and looked at him quietly.
