Chapter 99: Dead or alive, the choice is yours
Shen Mi's scalp was numb, thinking that he had misheard.
"Sister, listen to me, call the police first, and then protect your head......" Zhao Zihao twisted his eyebrows, watching the car with failed brakes getting faster and faster on the downhill road, and said in a deep voice.
Shen Mi was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at the scenery that passed by twice at all, he took out his mobile phone tremblingly, listened to Zhao Zihao's words, first called 120 to report the address, and then he was so frightened that he only trembled and screamed.
"Sister, it can't go on like this, you are ready, I will stop the car at the corner in front!" Zhao Zihao said, holding the steering wheel tightly, putting on the handbrake, and the car uncontrollably hit the two uncles in the front corner!
With a loud "boom", the huge impact threw the two of them to the front, the airbag popped out, Shen Mi only felt a pain in his neck, and his eyes went black and he fainted.
When he woke up, he was already in the hospital, and Xi Lie was sitting on the edge of the bed, his face tense and his brows furrowed.
Xi Lie ...... What about rats, rats? She struggled to sit up from the bed, but was quickly stopped by Xi Lie's eyes.
"He's fine, he's recuperating next door." He replied in a deep voice.
"Really? I want to meet him, you take me to meet him! Shen Mi was relieved and prayed unrelentingly.
"Really, but you can't move now, you've got a cervical spine injury, and a slight concussion, so you have to lie down and heal." Xi Lie pressed her and admonished with a straight face.
Shen Mi felt a lot of pain in her neck at this time, making it difficult for her to even turn her head.
"Your car, the brakes suddenly failed, I was really scared to death, fortunately there was nothing wrong, otherwise, otherwise Lu Yue would definitely hate me to death."
"It's okay." Xi Lie stroked her bruised forehead and comforted her softly, "Fortunately, you drove my car out today, and it was all a car with a high safety factor that I customized." ”
"We were fine when we went up the mountain, why did the brakes break down after a while?" Shen Mi thought back to the shocking scene just now, and still had palpitations.
Xi Lie sighed inaudibly when he heard this.
"The cause of the accident has been investigated, and it is not ruled out that the brakes are too dead and the fever is caused by the malfunction, the person is fine, and wait for the results of the investigation."
Shen Mi hummed softly when he heard this, and was about to reach out to grab him, but he felt a tingling pain in his wrist, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Oh yes, you protected your head so hard that you hit your wrist to the side and broke it." Xi Lie grabbed her arm and motioned for her not to move.
As soon as she cheered up, she felt that there was no place in her body that did not hurt, as if she had been run over by a train, and everywhere exuded sharp or faint pain.
After waking up for a while, the doctor came over to check on her and told her some precautions, and then two nurses were transferred to take care of her meticulously.
"How's my niece-in-law doing?"
There was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and in the next second, Xi Yingyue hurriedly pushed the door in, and when she saw Shen Mi's eyes wide open, she couldn't help but sigh.
"How are you?! Lie'er told me that you had a car accident, and it scared me out of my mind! ”
Xi Yingyue asked worriedly, a pair of eyes anxiously looked at her, and only after confirming that she didn't have a big problem did she breathe a heavy sigh of relief.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine, it's just a little injury, Xi Lie is too much of a fuss." Shen Mi tugged at the corners of her mouth and comforted her softly.
"Alas, I don't dare to tell them about this, I guess a few old people will faint in a hurry when they hear about your car accident!"
Shen Mi sighed faintly when he heard this, "It's me who is not good and makes you worry." ”
"It's not your fault, you just recuperate from your injuries."
Xi Lie, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to say a word, let her rest for a while." ”
Xi Yingyue glanced at him and beckoned to him, and he followed her out of the room with understanding.
"Is there anything you still have to deal with? Why did my nephew and daughter-in-law have an accident in three days? It's hard to convince people that it's an accident! Xi Yingyue glanced at him and asked in a cold voice.
"I've already checked." Xi Lie's face sank when he heard this, and his words were full of guilt.
"It's really hard to be a wife of a person like you! I feel sorry for my niece and daughter-in-law! And let me tell you, grandma's health is not good, she said that she was admitted to the hospital today, you want a reason to tell them, don't make people suspicious. Xi Yingyue said, hurriedly patted him on the shoulder, and strode away.
What is a house leak that happened to rain overnight, he can be considered to have experienced.
One thing after another made his scalp numb and his eyes black, and he was so confused that he couldn't breathe.
Thinking about it, he put away his mind and went to Zhao Zihao's room next door.
He hadn't woken up yet, and Lu Yue wiped his tears on the side.
Zhao Zihao sat in the driver's seat, it stands to reason that the safety factor is much higher than that of the co-pilot, but in order to protect Shen Mi, he sideways the body and withstood most of the impact.
Even if there is an airbag in front, it can't guarantee the safety of the side, and his hand holding the steering wheel.
When he was in danger, he wanted to protect Shen Mi, so much so that he broke his ribs and arms, and his cervical spine was not lightly injured.
Looking at Lu Yue, who was crying like a tearful man with a big belly, his heart was very heavy, and he left the ward silently, went to pay a large amount of money in advance, and then returned to Shen Mi's room.
Shen Mi couldn't stand the pain all over her body, and the doctor gave her an injection to relieve the pain, and she was already asleep at the moment.
"Take care of her, I'll go out." He said to Wang Yue on the side, got up, and walked out of the ward.
He drove straight to the police station.
"Mr. Xi, the cause of the accident is still being analyzed......" As soon as he entered, someone cautiously greeted him and explained in a low voice.
"There's nothing to analyze, my car is a military car, check it regularly, the brake pads can't be overheated, I'm going to ask for the recorder in the car now, help me get it." Xi Lie had a straight face, a pair of black eyes flashed with cold light, and he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly went to get the video according to his instructions.
In a few moments, a memory card was delivered to him.
"And the surveillance at the gate of the cemetery at that time, I also want it." He put away the card and said coldly.
"I've sent someone to fetch it, if you don't wait here, you should be back soon." The man opposite wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and didn't even dare to raise his head.
I don't know which one is not afraid of death, and it is not good to provoke anyone, but I have to provoke the wife of this major general, if this is found out, I don't know how miserable the death will be.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, someone finally brought back the monitoring of the cemetery, and he followed him in to take a look, and his face was very ugly.
The surveillance video shows that Shen Mi and Zhao Zihao got out of the car, and someone did come over, sneakily wandering around the car for a long time, and then disappeared.
"Could it be that this person is the devil?"
"Within ten minutes, help me match this person's personal information." Xi Lie ordered coldly, so frightened that several people didn't dare to say anything, so they had to take a screenshot of the video to match.
Nearly half an hour later, Xi Lie got a document, so he let them go and left the police station in a big stride.
"I'll go, it's too scary, this old brother."
"Alas, don't you know, I heard that the other side provoked several times, and this time he almost killed his wife, and he couldn't stand it anymore."
"So, do we care about this matter or not? Although the bad guys deserve it, if something happens......"
"Okay, let's see the situation first."
Several people talked for a while before they stopped.
Xi Lie got into the car and passed the information in his hand to Jing Liang, asking him to help locate the location of this person now, and after a while, he got Jing Liang's news.
"Big brother, although this person is just a little brother, the forces behind him are still very hard, it's not good for you to go over rashly like this, just let the police deal with it." Jing Liang reassured.
"Don't worry, I don't do anything else." Xi Lie replied with a stiff face, and then hung up the phone without giving Jing Liang a chance to speak.
Galloping all the way, I came to a remote urban village.
Xi Lie wore black clothes, put on a cap and a mask, went to the trunk for a long time, brought a throwing stick and a Swiss army knife, parked the car at the mouth of the alley, and rushed in with a cold face.
The conditions of this place are poor, most of the people who live in the city are working, and the security is also a headache, and when it gets dark, no one dares to open the shop except for some unemployed homeless people who are wandering around in society.
Xi Lie's face tightened, and he walked around the alley for a long time according to the address given by Jing Liang, only to find a crumbling small building, and the second floor was lit with dim lights.
His eyes froze, his hands clenched into fists, and without hesitation, he stepped up the cold, damp narrow staircase beside him.
On the second floor, there was a shouting from the house, which sounded like playing cards.
Xi Lie lowered his eyes, observed the terrain here, walked back and forth in the corridor outside several times, and then realized that he raised his hand without hesitation and knocked on the door.
"Who?!" There was a loud grinning voice from inside.
"You go open the door!" The other rebuked impatiently.
After a while, the sound of kicking and tapping footsteps sounded, the door was opened, and a man with a meaty face had a cigarette in his mouth and squinted impatiently at Xi Lie.
"Who, you? Looking for whom?! He chirped.
Xi Lie's eyes turned cold, and he looked inside the room without a trace, and found that there were only four people.
"Brother Chao, are you there?" He tugged at the corners of his mouth and asked in a deep voice.
"Who are you? Why are you so eye-catching? What are you looking for him? The man looked at the person in front of him, and found that he was tall and long-legged, dressed in black, and looked extraordinarily capable, plus he covered his face tightly, and he really looked a little frightening.
"Who's looking for me?" A voice sounded inside, "The Madeh card is not good, I'll play it later, this doesn't count!" ”
Xi Lie didn't wait for the person in front of him to answer, he waved his hand, pushed him aside, and broke into the door on his own.
"Who are you?! How come I haven't seen it? When the people inside saw him, they were all startled, and the man named Brother Chao stepped forward boldly and looked at him.
"Don't dare to show your true face? Made's Question! Who are you?! ”
Brother Chao seemed to be impatient, and several people on the side also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and they all secretly took a few steps back, watching the situation.
"Who am I? Oh, you'll know. Xi Lie sneered, raised his hand and took off his mask, his eyes flashed with coldness, and he was stunned in his heart.
"Who is stepping on the horse, I don't know you, why are you coming to me?" Brother Chao spat in annoyance, pointed at his nose and scolded.
Xi Lie's eyes flashed slightly, he gritted his teeth, clamped his wrist directly, and almost instantly, pressed him to the table next to him.
The other three were all stunned, not knowing what was going on in front of them, so they had to go down in a panic to copy the guy and surround Xi Lie.
"You're impatient, aren't you? Dare to touch me? There's a kind of reporting your name, don't step on the horse to engage in sneak attacks! Brother Chao, who was pressed on the table, couldn't move, so he had to move his mouth and scolded angrily.
"I want to correct a little, it's you who live impatiently, and my people dare to move!" Xi Lie sneered, the strength in his hand was heavier, and the man in pain screamed.
"Let go of my big brother!" The little brother on the side came back to his senses, waved the stick in his hand, and was about to come up to fight, Xi Lie pulled out the stick pinned to his waist, and before he could react, he was pulled to the chest by a stick, and collapsed to the ground with a muffled snort, unable to get up for a long time.
"If you answer my question truthfully today, I will give you a way to live, otherwise, you won't be able to complain about me!" Xi Lie said, picked up Brother Chao from the table, and punched him in the jaw, he actually rolled his eyes and almost fainted.
"Big brother!" The man who opened the door just now exclaimed, picked up the bench next to him and rushed up.
Xi Lie deftly dodged, kicked him in the abdomen, flashed behind another person, and slashed his neck with a palm, knocking him unconscious.
For a while, all the four big men in the room fell, and he picked up the dizzy Chao Ge from the ground, tied him to the chair opposite, lit a cigarette familiarly, and waited for him to wake up.
After waiting for a long time, he really lost his patience, went to the faucet on the side to get some cold water, and splashed it on Brother Chao's face.
Brother Chao finally woke up leisurely, and saw the man in front of him with a straight face like Satan, and the murderous aura in his eyes made his scalp tingle for a while.
"You, which big brother are you? Who did I move you? ”
Xi Lie leisurely took out his mobile phone, flipped out a surveillance video, and clicked on it in front of the trembling Brother Chao.
"The person in this video is you, right?"
"What if it's me? What's in your way! Brother Chao's face changed, and he asked with a stiff neck.
"What's in my way? There are my wife and my brother-in-law sitting in the car, do you think you are looking for death? Xi Lie said, leaning forward, staring at him with a pair of eyes that were cold and arrogant, playing with the Swiss Army knife he had brought, with a bloodthirsty smile on his face.
Brother Chao's face turned pale when he heard this, and he suddenly lost his blood, and his eyes lost focus in horror, his chest rose and fell violently, and sweat was like rain.
"No, it's not me, it's not my idea, I'm forced too!" His voice trembled a little, and he struggled in his chair in fear as he watched Xi Lie approach.
"Tell me the truth, and I'll be exempted from your capital crime." Xi Lie's face was stiff, his tone was heavy with coldness, and there was a heavy murderous aura.
"I just heard that the eldest brother above arranged for me to teach the policeman a lesson, who knew that there was an extra woman on it? And, too, it's not like I'm going! Brother Chao was completely scared, the man in front of him was agile, and he knocked down the four of them in an instant, and now he is called the heavens and the earth, and if he wants to live, he can only explain honestly.
"Who?" Xi Lie snorted, scaring him, "If you dare to say a lie, I will remove a finger from you!" ”
"I, this, you have to find someone above me to ask, I am also an errand boy, but there are a few unsuccessful brothers under my hands, and it is the above that really arranges things!" Brother Chao was scared, if he hadn't been tied up, he would probably have sat on the ground and begged Xi Lie for mercy.
"Just say it." Xi Lie frowned impatiently.
"I have a big brother named Tian Xi above me, I am all arranged by him, how dare I do such a thankless thing myself?"
"Tian Xi? The last time you stabbed that policeman, you did a good job? Xi Lie narrowed his eyes in displeasure.
"Yes, yes, just let me snatch the policeman's stuff and give him a lesson to scare him, we'll just scratch him......" Brother Chao said tremblingly, sweating profusely.
Xi Lie's eyes were cold, and he raised his hand to make a cut on his stomach, and immediately the blood flowed, and he screamed in pain.
"This matter can't be solved, you're still dead. Don't try to run away, how do you think I can find your home with a video? ”
Xi Lie said faintly, his tone full of threats.
"Big brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, I will definitely help you figure it out, please let me go, I still have a family to support, I can't help it, big brother, I don't dare, I don't dare......" Brother Chao broke out in a cold sweat in pain, and the gesture of crying and begging for mercy made Xi Lie angry.
A waste that only bullies the weak and makes small moves behind their backs!
"Dead or alive, the choice is yours." Xi Lie said, standing up leisurely and covering their heads with a few pieces of black cloth.
After a round around the room, he walked away quickly.
Back in the city, it's already bright. He went home, changed his clothes, took the medicine that Shen Mi wanted to take, and then went to the hospital.
Shen Mi had already woken up, staring at the ceiling with big eyes and looking boredly, and Wang Yue was dozing off a little tired.
"Sir, you're back, and Madame has been yelling at you several times." Seeing him, Wang Yue quickly stood up and retreated.
"Well, you go back and rest, I'll be here tonight." Xi Lie nodded and replied.
"Mrs. hasn't eaten dinner yet, I've made it and put it in the thermos bucket, you can remember to give it to her later." Wang Yue admonished, and walked out of the ward with great insight.
"Hmph, my daughter-in-law is in the hospital, and I can't even find anyone." Shen Mi glanced at him and muttered unhappily.
Xi Lie tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled speechlessly.
"So you're angry and you don't eat dinner?"
"I'm full of gas, what to eat, don't eat!"
Amused by her rare little temper, he stood up, took the thermos bucket from the table next to him, and opened it with a quick movement.
"Sister Wang made bone broth for you to replenish your bones, eat some." Xi Lie said, paced up to her, took a spoon, carefully scooped a mouthful of soup, and motioned for her to open her mouth.
"I want to know if the mouse is awake, Lu Yue came in the afternoon and said that he was still unconscious, are you fooling me?" Shen Mi blinked his eyes twice and asked with a straight face.
"I didn't fool you, he also injured his cervical spine, he didn't wake up because his head hit the window, the concussion should be more serious than yours, fortunately, there is no intracranial hemorrhage, it's fine." Xi Lie sighed and patiently explained.
Only then did Shen Mi relax and let out a long sigh of relief.
"I can't drink like this, you can make the bed for me." She muttered.
Xi Lie responded, adjusted the angle for her, and then carefully fed her soup and food, no matter how big or small.
"By the way, didn't Li Meng go out, there is no news so far, you, you use my mobile phone to call her." Shen Mi suddenly remembered this stubble and said worriedly.
"I asked, Sister Wang said that she had already gone home, because it was too late, I didn't let her come." Xi Lie stroked the corners of her mouth and explained in a deep voice.
Shen Mi put her mind at ease, "She went to see Li Juncheng." He said he was going to pry his mouth open. ”
Xi Lie nodded, stopped answering, and quickly thought about how to use Tian Xi's line to find out all the people behind him.
He will not let go of any of the black hands that have hurt his family.
"What are you thinking? The expression looks scary. Shen Mi glanced at him and found that he was holding a spoon in a daze, and his eyebrows were full of gloom.
"It's nothing, take some more, and I'll have to take medicine later." Xi Lie came back to his senses, scooped a spoonful for her and handed it to his mouth.
She ate it obediently, stared at him suspiciously, and finally didn't see the reason, so she sighed faintly and didn't ask any more questions.
"It's strange to say, why don't we have a peaceful birthday! Either you go to the hospital, or I go to the hospital, or my aunt goes to the hospital, or my grandmother goes to the hospital, do you want to find time to go to the temple to worship? ”
"Okay, I'll go when you're ready." Xi Lie smiled and responded.
After dinner, Shen Mi began to sweat in pain again, Xi Lie gave her medicine and stayed by her side until she couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.
He helped her cover the quilt and checked the window, the phone vibrating in his pocket, and he walked out of the room lightly before picking it up.
"Sister-in-law, I was just coaxing Mi'er to sleep." He explained softly.
"How's my niece and daughter-in-law? I'm in the hospital right now, so you'd better come over. As soon as Xi Yingyue on the other end picked up the phone, she shouted urgently.
"I see, I'll be right over." Xi Lie's heart sank when he heard this, and he said in a low voice.
"That, what should my niece and daughter-in-law do? You should think of your rhetoric before you come, lest it be worse if you get it when you get it. Xi Yingyue said uneasily.
Xi Lie nodded silently, frowned, and asked cautiously for a long time:
"Isn't it grandma...... Not so good? ”
