Chapter 30
Her innocent best friend’s thoughts at the moment were anything but innocent.
At least, that’s what Wen Ning thought, that she had bad motives.
After having wrestled with Zhou Yinchu for so long, as well as thinking about the fact that she had already sought so many things for herself,……, a person’s appetite will always become bigger.
Insatiable is merely driven by human instinct.
Especially in the case where she and Zhou Yinchu were getting along quite happily, Wen Ning felt a bit unrealistic about the short-lived peace that had come between them.
But she did have a favor to ask of him.
The first trial of the criminal case is imminent, and I don’t mean to say that I don’t trust the lawyer she hired, but the absence of key witnesses this time has made both Gu and Wen Ning realize that the road is not easy to walk.
Before going to bed, she not only received a call from Zhou Yinchu.
She also received a greeting from her attorney. The young, freshly-practiced attorney had sworn to make the unjust pay for their actions, but it was clear that he’d had a busy few months running around on this case, but still hadn’t found a clue.
The situation was contrary to what they had envisioned.
The atmosphere of their conversation became a little subdued for a while.
While they said to each other, “I believe in the judgment of the law,” they were at the same time worried about the existing evidence.
The sadness that had touched the matter in the past was brought out again.
It was a “mistake” and an “accident” according to the other parents, who claimed that they only wanted to teach their second daughter, who had no rules at home, a lesson, but who knew that a male teacher, who did not know what he was doing, would stand up for the girl.
Currently, there is no surveillance camera at the corner of the old attic, and the only digital surveillance equipment in the neighborhood only recorded the image of Li Yuanzhe falling to the ground.
The man in the pool of blood, any woman can not look straight, Wen Ning as a pillow, naturally also can not face this last video.
Wen Ning was asking questions over and over again.
Is it really just negligence?
Is not considered intentional homicide?
Then why did the girl’s father lose his hand in a so-called moment of rage, causing her husband to die on the spot?
Wen Ning in the past in fact seldom think about this matter in detail, the reason is simple and clear, but all things related to the death of Li Yuanzhe in her here is a taboo topic.
That kind of pain happened all at once, without waiting for the disease to leave the process, directly announced the death of her husband.
Before that, the ordinary man who said he would guard her for the rest of her life was quite healthy, and the real pain was perhaps not only the moment of Li Yuanzhe’s death, but the fact that she suddenly realized overnight that there was one less person to help her in her daily life.
Wenning, to this day, still avoids her husband’s death from time to time.
But because of the torment of goodness, she can’t accept half a cent of compensation, wanting to make the other party pay the real price for it; although she holds a grudge against Wang Xueqing for finding Li Yuanzhe to pay a home visit together at first, thinking that it was Ms. Wang who dragged Li Yuanzhe down and caused him to end up in such a bad situation, based on the needs of the case, she still couldn’t do anything to Wang Xueqing, and on the contrary, Wang Xueqing scoffed at everything she did afterward.
She looked down on things related to life and death on Li Yuanzhe, and could even be said to be indifferent, but she was quite sensitive to the matter of Li Che’s transfer to another school.
Wen Ning still thought that Ms. Wang just didn’t want to get involved in this matter because she didn’t want to affect her iron rice bowl. After all, once one gets involved with these, it seems that one also declares a lifetime of staying motionless on the teaching post.
As for the matter of Chul-chul’s transfer to another school, perhaps it was also a constant reminder of the irreparable trauma indirectly caused by her that she was unwilling to accept.
It wasn’t hard to understand, but it really affected one of the passages of conviction and sentencing, and the remaining two paths weren’t easy to follow.
Therefore, Wen Ning’s gaze inevitably returned once again to the page where she and Zhou Yinchu were talking and chatting.
And again personally pinched off the light emitted by the cell phone screen.
The next day, Wen Ning arrived at a public hospital in the city.
If the information she had learned from the police wasn’t wrong, the daughter of that family’s accident should be lying in the custody room of this hospital, waiting to be awakened.
With a handful of fresh white frangipani in her hand, she walked with difficulty to the door of the ward after being questioned at the nurse’s desk.
She hadn’t even had time to change into her sterilized surgical jacket when she was stopped on the spot by the mother.
The woman’s face looked fierce, and her words were a meal of greetings and insults that were common to people from the lower class.
It seemed as if she would not rest until a layer of skin was peeled from her body.
“Stinking woman, why do you still have the face to come here?”
She stuck both hands in her thick waist: “Still think you haven’t victimized my old man enough?”
Her hands-on husband was in the detention center, and she, without ever thinking about the reason why he was interrogated, was bent on pushing the responsibility of her husband going in on Wen Ning alone.
But Wen Ning’s husband, at this time, has become ashes, buried in the earth.
Helplessly, Wen Ning tried as much as possible not to mess with the person across from her, avoiding the woman’s mood swings from being too large, “I just want to come and see how your daughter is doing.”
The middle-aged woman screamed and cursed, and again greeted her directly with her hands and feet, if it wasn’t for Wen Ning’s intentional dodging, she was also almost pushed to the ground by the person in front of her, “There’s no need for you to be blindly kind! My daughter is lying in a hospital bed today, and it’s not because of your teenage dead man!”
She recalled the police’s friendly reminder to her before her arrival, saying that people like them were prone to emotional outbursts and violent outbursts, and that the girl was still lying in bed today, so she wouldn’t have been able to ask for any results.
But Wen Ning still wanted to try, after all, this is also considered a point of entry, better than going directly to Zhou Yinchu.
And this matter for her, and for Zhou Yinchu’s significance is completely different, she does not think that Zhou Yinchu will be kind enough to help her solve the problems left behind by Li Yuanzhe, not to mention for the sake of the grievances suffered by another man.
Therefore, she still decided to walk around the hospital first.
Despite the fact that she was not welcome by this family, even if it was more likely that their second daughter would wake up and be on the same side as her own family, Wen Ning was still willing to doggedly give it a try.
She was always willing to believe that the good in humanity must somehow outweigh the evil.
And although she didn’t see the awakened girl as she had hoped, and didn’t get the answers she wanted, after the head nurse learned about the circumstances of the case, she still said that she was willing to be the first to notify her when the girl woke up.
Evidently, people always have empathy too.
Wen Ning’s moist eyelashes trembled slightly, “Then I’ll trouble you all.”
The head nurse said, “Don’t mention it,” and went about her business in an organized manner.
However, the perpetrator’s wife did not stop, after seeing herself even more agitated, if not for her eldest daughter was right beside her pulling a hand, I am afraid that today she simply do not intend to not to ask himself to blame.
And after a while, the woman clamored “no treatment”, to take her lying in the hospital bed of the second daughter to go home, she was next to the eldest daughter several times to discourage, said it is with their own hair salon store to earn money, she did not see some convergence.
Rather, in the hospital corridor, nonchalantly cursed his eldest daughter’s “no conscience.
“All in vain to raise you, in the past do not take money to your brother to buy milk powder, also do not come to filial piety to your own father, now can be good, to that money-losing sister of yours to cure the disease …….”
Timelessly embrace the son in the hands, afraid of bumping, don’t mention how golden.
“Mom, you quickly stop talking.”
The eldest daughter of that family heard those taken-for-granted words just tugging at the corner of her mother’s coat, as if she didn’t intend to stop her mother because she uttered those words, but simply because this was in a hospital.
Her mother spat again, with a motion so loud that it was hard not to suspect it was intentionally created for her own ears.
And her oldest daughter, who worked in a hair salon store looking like she had a few off-the-wall hair colors, gave an unintentional glance towards herself, the impotent look seeming to say without words, hurry up.
Wenning quietly placed the flowers on the aisle outside the hospital room, and finally realized that when the girl woke up, the possibility of recounting the whole story had become very slim.
This witness was still in a coma, as a victim of her family, but it never meant that she would speak up for her husband either, right?
And by doing so, how is one not putting someone else’s child in a difficult position.
After playing the role of a mother, it is always easy to sympathize with other people’s children, whether it is the eldest daughter of this family who worked hard to earn a living to support the family, or the second daughter who collapsed in the intensive care unit under the authority of the father, Wen Ning has no way not to understand their difficulties.
She is not the only one who is in great sorrow, or perhaps, many people in the world are also desperately struggling and escaping, but are trapped due to this family of origin.
Right now, Zhou Yinchu turned out to be the obvious choice to solve this matter.
As long as it can solve her urgent problem, what’s wrong with drinking hemlock to quench her thirst, no harm done.
“A ticket to Guangzhou, in economy class, the faster the better.”
Half an hour later, the young and decisive woman appeared in the airport hall, she said as much to the staff in the queue window.
The suitcase against the boarding platform was light, obviously not exceeding the 20kg baggage allowance stipulated for economy class.
Wenning looked around, the modern airport was brightly lit, she looked at the incoming and outgoing travelers, pedestrians on business trips, and once again she was caught in a mass blindness. A small gasp escaped her chest.
Wen Ning did not have any unnecessary hesitation in deciding to go to Zhou Yinchu on this matter.
If one path did not work, she could not wait to take another.
And at the same time, she had to put the weight of the store on Xiao Yang’s shoulders alone, for which Xiao Yang had no complaints.
On the phone.
She is still careful to avoid their whereabouts, only said to go out for a while, did not say exactly where to go.
It wasn’t out of a lack of trust in Xiaoyang, but it was unimaginable that she, a woman in her late thirties, would still be ashamed of such an itinerary and destination.
She couldn’t admit with candor, much less proclaim aloud, that their relationship had been as taboo as it was.
It seemed that her mother was not far away, rushing to take the phone from Sayo’s hand, who was already guessing about her trip.
One told her to relax about the store and about Chulchu.
“You just feel at ease and go over to play, how long has our family Ning Ning not given herself a vacation …… leave the rest of the things to me and Xiao Yang.”
“Mom, it’s not what you think.” Wen Ning was momentarily speechless.
She thought that her mother probably knew that she had gone to look for Zhou Yinchu, but she didn’t know why she was in such a hurry to go to Zhou Yinchu.
Her mother thought that she was some middle-school-aged girl who was head over heels in love and wanted to facilitate their marriage, but she didn’t want her mother to hold such an unrealistic wish.
She did go to Zhou Yinchu, and even said she came prepared. But she was harboring private purposes that she could not tell others. In short, it could not be explained in a few words, so she simply stopped explaining.
She asked her mother to hand the phone back to Xiao Yang, and gave a few words of advice on “resting more”.
Soon, Wen Ning began to queue up for check-in, her simple luggage was on the conveyor belt of the passageway security check, and when she saw a few passengers in front of her take out their charging batteries to be inspected, she realized that she had been in too much of a hurry to leave, and she hadn’t even brought a charging cable with her, and her cell phone had only three percent of its battery power left.
And before taking the ferry, she utilized the last three percent of the battery to search for the location where Zhou Yinchu’s shot picture was located.
The software’s ability to search for pictures was powerful, and she instantly found the not-so-popular hotel where he was.
