Chapter 21: Murder and Silence 2
Immediately after arriving in Fancheng, Dr. Ao Nuohai went to the First People's Hospital to check on Xia Luoqing's injuries. He told Lu Yuanhao that Xia Luoqing was seriously injured, and it was impossible to wake her up for a while, but he would do his best.
Lu Yuanhao said that if Xia Luoqing could not wake up within a week, then the cost of 500,000 US dollars would be reduced to 100,000 US dollars, and Ao Nuohai agreed.
The agreement was reached, and the serious illness care unit where Xia Luoqing lived was not allowed to let people come and go at will, including Lu Yuanhao. Only Meow Meow and Ono Hai, as well as the nurses who take care of Xia Luoqing, can enter and leave the ward.
Time is slowly turning, and the time for the New Year is getting closer and closer.
The cold of winter is gradually heating up in the approaching sound of the year, and the sun is rare in good weather these days.
Ding Xiao felt a musty smell at home, and when she opened the curtains, she found that she hadn't opened the window since she first moved in. It just so happened that the sun had been shining in the last few days, so she opened the doors and windows of her house to let in the air.
The moment the window opened, a cold wind blew in my face. Ding Xiao stood in front of the window with his eyes closed and took a deep breath, and his depressed mood slowly improved. At least now she feels hopeful, less anxious than before.
Lu Yuanhao helped a lot in this matter, and she also thought that she would thank Ding Zhong after she rescued him.
That's right!
As soon as he thought of Lu Yuanhao, Ding Xiao thought of Tang Yunting by the way. Tang Yunting is a private detective invited by Lu Yuanhao, and his strength is quite strong. It's just that Tang Yunting hasn't called her in the past few days, could it be that things haven't made any progress?
Or is he also waiting for Xia Luoqing to wake up?
Just as Ding Xiao was thinking about this, there was a sudden knock on the door. Ding Xiao turned around suspiciously: "Who." She asked, walking to the door. There was no response, and she suddenly became nervous. "Who's out there?"
"It's me, Zhang Manman."
Hearing Zhang Manman's voice, Ding Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the door and opened the door. "Why are you here?"
Zhang Manman walked in the door and walked straight to the sofa and sat down. "Didn't you take a month's off from Mr. Luo before? This month is almost over, Mr. Luo asked me to see how you are doing. ”
Ding Xiao closed the door and poured Zhang Manman a glass of water. "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to work recently."
"What? Haven't adjusted your mindset yet? ”
Ding Xiao was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Manman's words, she frowned unhappily, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "This is not a problem of mentality at all, you won't understand." Ding's case is imminent, and I can't drop the chain at this joint. ”
Zhang Manman felt a little funny when he heard this, "Drop the chain? You are not a police officer and you don't have to handle the case, what chain do you drop? It doesn't matter if you are involved in this case or not, okay, what can you do to help you except cry and mourn every day? ”
“……”
Ding Xiao didn't speak, she felt that what Zhang Manman said was right. Seeing that Ding Xiao didn't speak, Zhang Manman continued: "I didn't think about hitting you, I just told the truth. Recently, the two new interns from the company have done a good job, and you know the situation of the company. Luo always wants me to ask if you still want to do it, and if you don't, even if you leave your job. ”
Ding Xiao's eyes widened, a little stunned.
"Ding Xiao, it's hard to find a job like this, think about it yourself." Zhang Manman raised his hand and patted Ding Xiao's shoulder. She didn't like the two new interns, so if she had to choose between the two, she still wanted Ding Xiao to stay in the company. After all......
"I see, I'll think about it. You can help talk to Mr. Luo, and I will reply in the evening. ”
“OK。”
Zhang Manman went back immediately after saying these words, and he didn't talk to Ding Xiao about too many cases.
As a smart woman, it's better to know less about things, so that you won't get into trouble.
And Ding Xiaosi thought about it and decided to go back to work.
She clearly understands that this society is now inseparable from money. If it weren't for Lu Yuanhao who had been silently helping her, with the funds in her pocket, Ding Deng's case would not have progressed at all.
and the money she owes Yin Tian, which will definitely have to be repaid after the New Year. There is also the rent that has to be paid in two months, and these all need money.
Taking a deep breath, Ding Xiao called Mr. Luo and said that he could go back to work tonight.
As for Xia Luoqing's side, she just waited for the news slowly.
"How did you think of going back to work?" Lu Yuanhao was a little surprised when he learned the news, and he was still carrying the food he had brought to her from afar.
"I don't think it's a way to be anxious at home alone, and I can be distracted from work and not be so anxious." Ding Xiao pursed his lips a little helplessly and sighed. "I'll leave the rest to you, can you call me in time?"
Lu Yuanhao thinks so. Now Ding Xiao's mentality is not as collapsed as before, and it is good to be distracted to be busy with work. "Don't worry, I'll leave it all to me." He smiled softly and lifted the lunch box he was carrying. "It's more than three hours before you go to work, so let's get something to eat first."
Ding Xiao felt a warmth somewhere in his heart, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose up. "Lu Yuanhao, thank you."
"Let's go inside."
Walking into Ding Xiao's house with a boxed lunch, Lu Yuanhao put the rice on the dining table and opened it. A burst of fragrance wafted out at the moment when the lid of the lunch box was lifted, and Lu Yuanhao said: "This is a Hunan dish that has been sold by a family in the east of the city for more than 20 years, eat it while it's hot." ”
"How do you know that there is still a Hunan restaurant in the east of the city for more than 20 years?" Ding Xiao asked casually after sitting down, and Lu Yuanhao sat opposite her. "Asked."
Ding Xiao raised his eyebrows and picked up chopsticks to eat.
After eating for a while, she felt that her surroundings were quiet, so she raised her eyes and looked at Lu Yuanhao. "Aren't you going to eat?"
Lu Yuanhao sat opposite her and looked at her, taking out his mobile phone from time to time to take a look. "I've already eaten it, you can eat it. I'll take you to the company after eating, and I'll go to the hospital later. ”
At the mention of the hospital, Ding Xiao's eyes lit up, "How's it going?" "She hasn't been to the hospital for a few days, and she doesn't know what's going on over there.
"It's going well, if nothing else, Xia Luoqing will wake up tonight."
"That's great!" Ding Xiao was very happy, and after being happy for a moment, he thought that he had to go to work tonight, and most of the laughter that had been raised gradually disappeared. No way, she had no choice. "Then if Xia Luoqing wakes up and has news, remember to text me." After a pause, she began to feel a little uneasy again. "Are you okay?"
"Zhang Yi and Tang Yunting will be waiting at the door of the ward tonight."
"That's good." Hope everything goes well...... Ding Xiao prayed silently in his heart.
After eating, she washed up briefly, took the USB drive and took Lu Yuanhao's car to the company building. Waving goodbye at the door of the company, Ding Xiao turned around and walked into the familiar building.
took the elevator upstairs, and after getting out of the elevator and entering the company, she saw two unfamiliar faces at a glance.
These two unfamiliar faces are quite beautiful, and they look like innocent college students. If she guessed correctly, these two people should be the interns in Zhang Manman's mouth.
When the intern saw Ding Xiao who walked into the company, his face was subconsciously full of disgust. Although these two people have just come out of society, they still know a lot about workplace disputes.
"Hey." Ignoring the disgusted eyes of the two interns, Ding Xiao greeted his colleagues in the company with a smile.
"Hey, Ding Xiao, are you back to work?" The happiest is Nan Nan, who has a good time with Ding Xiao. Nan Nan was transferred to another department before, and she was only transferred back recently, so she naturally learned what happened to Ding Xiao from her colleagues. "Are you alright?" She walked over to Ding Xiao's desk and asked.
"Very well, when were you transferred back?"
"Two weeks ago, it's been a long time since I came back. I was looking for time to visit yours at your house, but I was too busy to delay. Nan Nan was a little embarrassed, in fact, it was not that she was delayed by time, but that she had never thought about what to say to comfort Ding Xiao after she went. But looking at Ding Xiao's mental state today, it seems to be very good!
Ding Xiaogan laughed a few times, then turned on the computer and began to organize the files. Having said that, the fact that she came back to work today was really thanks to Zhang Manman's stimulation. But why don't you see Zhang Manman?
"By the way, why didn't you see Zhang Manman?" Ding Xiao couldn't help but ask a colleague at the next table.
"Zhang Manman was fired yesterday, just like you, I always ask for leave this month." The colleague said, and after speaking, his voice became lower and continued: "Did you see the two new interns?" One of them took Zhang Manman's place. Originally...... But the boss still values you, and you've been doing well these days. He didn't say it completely, but Ding Xiao already understood the meaning. She was stunned, and her mind remembered the words that Zhang Manman said to her at noon.
"Although Zhang Manman usually speaks in a mean tone, he is still very good."
"Who knows? Don't worry about her, she has a boyfriend. Most colleagues in the company have a bad impression of Zhang Manman, because she usually speaks too badly.
Ding Xiao pursed his lips and didn't speak anymore and started working.
It's a familiar night again, a familiar keyboard tapping. Ding Xiao took the USB drive to print it after sorting out the information, and after a while, he had to go into the broadcast studio to broadcast live.
She took out her phone and looked at it when she was printing out the material to be broadcast, and there was an unread text message on her phone. Click on it and see that it was sent by Zhang Manman: Be careful in the company, those two interns are not good people.
"Where are you?" Ding Xiao sent a text message back to Zhang Manman.
"I'm ready to leave the city, goodbye."
"Where are you going?"
Zhang Manman didn't reply to the message, Ding Xiao thought she didn't want to say it, but she didn't know that she would never be able to say it. And the last text message was not sent by her.
"Well, I wish you all the best of luck." Sending the last text message, Ding Xiao picked up the printed materials and walked out of the printing room. She put her phone silent in her pocket and sat at her desk waiting for the last few minutes.
And just a few minutes later, when she walked into the broadcast studio to broadcast live, Xia Luoqing, who was lying in the hospital, woke up.
