Chapter 101 Tears have burst
In the corridor of the hospital, there was a dead silence.

Chen Ze was lying in the ward. The doctor said that if he didn't recover well, he might be paralyzed.

But at this moment, Ye Chuxiao was still undergoing the operation, the child was gone, and she was unconscious after bleeding heavily, not yet out of danger.

A person was sitting on a wooden chair outside, looking from a distance, it looked like a frozen, dark spot.

Lu Zhengnan has been sitting here for four full hours.

Doesn't talk to anyone, doesn't show any facial expressions.

Will Chen be crippled?he does not know.

Will Chu Xiao die?He doesn't know either.

He just sat there blankly, nothing in his mind.

No one dared to go to him, and it was useless to go there. He seemed to be unable to see or hear.

"How is he?" Yu Xingyuan, who hurried upstairs, asked Sheng Xuan who had been staying here.

She just shook her head with tears in her eyes.

Yu Xingyuan stepped aside and wanted to light a cigarette, but in the end he was too strong and broke the cigarette in two, and the shredded tobacco fell on the window sill.

Shi Lei caught it, but he firmly insisted that everything was done by him alone and had nothing to do with others.

But everyone knew it wasn't, but there was no evidence to prove that this matter was related to Qi Zhen.

Instead, a card was found at Shi Lei's residence, which showed that Shi Man had just transferred money to it yesterday afternoon.

Even Yu Xingyuan didn't expect that Qi Zhen would be so ruthless.

All the affection was crushed into sand by him, leaving nothing behind.

How could he... be so ruthless? !
Finally, the lights at the door of the operating room went out, and everyone's expressions froze at that moment.

When Lu Zhengnan stood up, his legs were stiff, he staggered and almost fell, but he still rushed over.

However, all I saw was her unconscious appearance with an oxygen mask and tubes all over her body.

She was transferred to the intensive care unit.

Lu Zhengnan stood blankly for a long time, then fell back to the chair and resumed his previous posture.

"Fourth brother..." Sheng Xuan cried and shook his arm: "Fourth brother, you can't do this...you have to cheer up..."

"How to cheer up..." He murmured back, his voice seemed to be scorched by fire, hoarse and dull.

"It's fine even if you...cry a while..." Sheng Xuan couldn't cry, Yu Xingyuan came over and pulled her away, sat next to Lu Zhengnan, and tightly clung to his shoulders: "Fourth, you will get better."

"En." Lu Zhengnan nodded dumbly, and repeated dumbly: "It will get better."

But he obviously didn't believe what he said, and his eyes were full of despair.

All night, he sat like this.

It was dark and then bright again. The sun shone into the corridor, but it couldn't shine into his heart.

There, there is only cold darkness.

Chen Ze's family had already rushed over, crying heartbrokenly around him, but he kept comforting them with a weak smile, saying that he was fine.

Ye Chuxiao, on the other hand, was still lying quietly on the emergency bed, as if dead.

Qi Zhen never showed up, and no one could find him.

He is missing.

Shiman was interrogated, and she argued that Shi Lei had stolen the card, but she couldn't explain why the money was transferred to the account yesterday.

The old man was heartbroken, and immediately flew to the ancient city with Mother Lu.

"Zhengnan, how is Chu Xiao?" Upstairs, the old man almost trotted over and held Lu Zhengnan's hand.

But Lu's mother asked another thing: "I heard that the child is gone... what happened..."

"Shut up." The father and son growled almost simultaneously.

Lu's mother curled her lips, and went to the doctor's office to ask in dismay.

However, when she came out, her face was even more livid—the doctor told him that not only had she had a miscarriage this time, but also because of the previous dystocia experience and this time, her uterus had been greatly damaged, and she might be infertile in the future.

Not even in the mood to comfort her, she went straight back to the hotel.

The old man didn't leave, and stayed with Lu Zhengnan silently.

At noon, the old man brought the lunch box bought by Yu Xingyuan and brought it to Lu Zhengnan, as if he was still a child who hadn't grown up, he touched his head and persuaded him in a low voice: "Zhengnan, eat, ah, even if you just eat a few Mouth, okay? If you are like this, we are all in a hurry, and Chu Xiao is also in a hurry."

Lu Zhengnan looked at the red corners of his eyes, and finally reached out to take it, but after taking two mouthfuls of rice, his throat was choked again, and tears filled his eyes.

"Dad, why did you say that I had to go out yesterday morning..." His voice was choked up: "Why... I had to choose that time...to go out?"

The old man also shed tears, hugging him, he put his head in his father's arms, and cried bitterly for the first time in so long.

He really regretted why he wasn't there at the time, let his friend suffer instead of him, and made Chu Xiao suffer so much, life and death were uncertain.

How could he be so stupid, how could he be so stupid!

He even wanted to kill himself!
And at this moment, I don't know if she in the intensive care unit felt his surging sadness, and the electrocardiogram suddenly fluctuated violently.

The doctor came under surveillance and quickly took measures. After 10 minutes, he was pleasantly surprised and informed Lu Zhengnan that the patient had woken up.

When Lu Zhengnan heard the news, he was stunned in disbelief, and then burst out crying and laughing, shaking the old man desperately: "She's awake...she's awake..."

"Yes, she's awake." The old man nodded sadly, and helped him go to see Ye Chuxiao together.

She really woke up, but her eyes were still not clearly focused, her pitch-black pupils were like a stone that could not see through the light, without the usual agility.

"Chuxiao, Chuxiao..." He held her hand and called softly, tears dripping down on her fingertips.

Maybe it was because the tears were too hot, her fingertips were trembling slightly, and finally they gradually closed, and she held his hand back.

Lu Zhengnan even burst into tears.

Her lips were moving, the doctor motioned him to listen, he bent down, and heard her calling his name: "Zheng... Nan..."

"I'm here...Chu Xiao...I'm sorry..." Guilt tore his heart to pieces, and he buried his face in her palm, his back twitching uncontrollably.

She moved her fingers with difficulty, as if she wanted to wipe away his tears, the old man helped him up with sobs: "Zhengnan, don't make Chu Xiao sad, she will be sad if you do this."

Only this sentence can stop him, he tried his best to stand up, and with a trembling voice, coaxed her as usual: "Chu Xiao, good morning, I will be with you, I will always be with you."

Her hand finally gradually relaxed, and she quietly placed it in his palm, and her eyes seemed to gradually begin to shine.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you wake up, you will pass the dangerous period." The doctor also came to comfort him, his heart relaxed, and he nodded violently.

It will be fine.Until now, he really dared to say this in his heart.

Chuxiao, you'll be fine.

****************************
Ye Chuxiao finally got better, and Lu Zhengnan managed to calm down a little, so he went to visit Chen Ze.

After seeing him and his family, Lu Zhengnan didn't know what else he could do, he just lowered his head and said "I'm sorry".

"Brother, it's not your fault." Chen Ze patted his arm: "Don't blame yourself so much."

"If you weren't at home for me..." Lu Zhengnan gritted his teeth: "I won't let those people go."

He said "those people", and Chen Ze knew who he was referring to, so he sighed heavily.

This is an injustice, and Qi Zhen has tied all the relationships into a deadlock, which cannot be untied.

"All the medical expenses will be borne by me, and I will use the best ones. If... If it is true... I will be responsible for the rest of your life." Lu Zhengnan firmly clenched his hand.

"Responsible for the rest of my life? What you say sounds really ambiguous. People don't know, and they think I have some kind of unusual relationship with you." Chen Ze reluctantly joked, but his heart was full of warmth.

Until now, he still has no regrets.

Such a friend is worth it.

Walking out of Chen Ze's ward, Lu Zhengnan was at the end of the corridor, with his hands propped on the window sill, staring closely at the light at the top of the towering TV tower in the distance.

He will not let those people go, not one of them.

Immediately, he called Qin Nian.

When the bell rang, Qin Nian looked at the name on the screen, his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to answer it.

Once, twice... the ringing stopped abruptly.

Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, the text message sounded again. When he opened it, there was only one line:

Do not answer the phone at your own risk.

Qin Nian's heart trembled, and he finally dialed it back, and cautiously called out "Boss Lu".

"Let's meet at the restaurant of the hospital." Lu Zhengnan sneered: "Right away."

Qin Nian didn't dare to disobey, so he could only agree, and then immediately went downstairs and drove over.

When he arrived, he saw Lu Zhengnan sitting in the corner waiting from a distance, he felt that every step he took seemed to be walking into a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​flames, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"Sit." Lu Zhengnan raised his chin when he saw him, and he still smiled.

And this smile made Qin Nian even more frightened, sitting on the edge of the chair, as if he wanted to stand up and run away at any moment.

"Don't be so afraid." Lu Zhengnan raised the corners of his lips, his tone seemed to be comforting: "As long as you make it clear, it won't be a big deal."

Qin Nian didn't dare to say anything.

Lu Zhengnan didn't make a sound, slowly took out a cigarette and handed it to him, but as if he just remembered, he withdrew his hand: "Oh, you don't seem to smoke."

Qin Nian could only nod his head, and replied in a low voice, "Yes."

"If a man doesn't even smoke, he must love his family very much, right?" He seemed to be chatting, and lit a fire, and the flame flickered and flickered, making Qin Nian extremely nervous.

"You said that there are old and young among you, and if you go in, I'm afraid that the life of the whole family will be difficult in the future." Lu Zhengnan threw out another sentence slowly, and Qin Nian was so frightened that he was about to stand up immediately: "Lu Always... I..."

"Sit, sit." Lu Zhengnan nodded his index finger: "That's what I said."

He started smoking and stopped talking.

Such silence caused Qin Nian's legs to tremble slightly, and even with his hands on his knees, he couldn't stop it.

Finally, Qin Nian couldn't bear this kind of suffering, and took the initiative to say: "Mr. Lu... Shi Lei's matter... really has nothing to do with me."

"It's okay?" Lu Zhengnan raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it your cousin's son? How could it have nothing to do with you?"

"That's what Boss Qi asked me to say." Qin Nian blurted out anxiously, but immediately realized that he had said something wrong, so he pursed his lips tightly and dared not speak out again.

But Lu Zhengnan picked up the conversation: "President Qi? Hehe, it's good that it's President Qi."

"It's... not President Qi either," Qin Nian still tried his best to defend Qi Zhen: "It's Shi Lei himself..."

"Then he's really amazing." Lu Zhengnan said mockingly, "I haven't seen Chu Xiao in the past ten years, but now he suddenly ran all the way to the ancient city, and then became your cousin's son. He was injured and hospitalized and transferred to another hospital without anyone noticing, and when he came back, he could find my home without any mistakes, and he also had a full set of uniforms including a work permit. If he said that he had no accomplices, would you believe it?"

Qin Nian was dripping with cold sweat.

"Anyway, I'll just leave a word for you here. I'll punish everyone involved in this incident, especially the mastermind." Lu Zhengnan pressed half a cigarette on the table: "Do you think If you can bear the scapegoat, you can bear it, if you can’t bear it, it’s better to let Xian take the initiative, I’ll give you a day to think it over.”

After finishing speaking, he got up and left, leaving Qin Nian sitting on a chair, feeling weak all over...

As soon as Qin Nian went back, he hurriedly called Qi Zhen, but the phone was still turned off.

He fell down on the sofa in frustration, and his wife came over and asked him what was wrong.

He didn't dare to say it, he just looked at the whole family with panic and sourness in his heart.

In the middle of the night, he called Qi Zhen again, but the phone was still turned off.

Still the same the next morning.

He has panicked to the extreme, the water is too deep, he really can't afford to follow.

Even if Lu Zhengnan couldn't move Qi Zhen temporarily, it would definitely be more than enough to clean him up.

But now, Qi Zhen seemed to have abandoned him.

The burden of the whole family rests on him alone. What if he is really involved this time?
With the last hope, he went to the company, hoping to see Qi Zhen come back, but the office was empty.

He stood in that empty room, utterly hopeless.

Despondently, he went downstairs and got into the car. He stared at the front in a daze for a long time, and finally drove the car to the Public Security Bureau, found the criminal policeman who handled Shi Lei's case, and said that he had something to report...

With the testimony of Qin Nian, the case was finally officially linked to Qi Zhen.

And now Qi Zhen's disappearance for no reason also proves from the side that he is not unrelated to this matter.

The police started looking for Qi Zhen everywhere, but found nothing.

But just three days later, he suddenly appeared in the company, carrying a suitcase, all dressed in dust.

When the police who obeyed here asked him why he disappeared, his expression was very surprised: "Missing? I went on vacation on the 3rd."

On the 3rd, it was two days before the day of Shi Lei's action.

Immediately, he also dug out the train ticket at that time from his wallet, as well as the invoices for the accommodation outside the past few days, as further proof.

"It's just that the work pressure is too high recently, so I went out temporarily to relax and turned off my mobile phone." This is his explanation.

When he returned to the bureau for interrogation, when Qin Nian reported that he had assigned him to find Shi Lei and mentioned Ye Chuxiao at the time, he just smiled and spread his hands: "Where is the evidence? Did Qin Nian have the recording, or did I have it?" Handwritten evidence? What does he say? Then can I counter-suit him for framing? "

He was as calm as a rascal, but apart from Qin Nian's dictation, there was no other evidence, and neither did the police.

When the police mentioned Shiman's card and the money remitted the day before the crime, an imperceptible dark color flashed quickly in his eyes, and his expression became more innocent: "You can only ask her." , I have no idea."

Even his own wife's matter can be pushed cleanly, and the two criminal policemen also looked at each other in blank dismay.

But as far as the current evidence is concerned, it is indeed not enough to accuse him of guilt. It seems that everything is related to him, but he is like a slippery fish, taking advantage of loopholes everywhere.

They could only let him go back first, but emphasized that during the investigation, he must not leave the police's sight.

"Okay." He readily agreed.

When he arrived at the company, he happened to meet Qin Nian who planned to come back to pick up his things while he was away.

He didn't threaten, didn't blame, just looked at Qin Nian and smiled slightly, this smile was the same as Lu Zhengnan's before, it was chilling.

Qin Nian almost escaped from the company. Qi Zhen looked at his distressed back gracefully, with deep eyes...

Still unable to restrain Qi Zhen, Lu Zhengnan only felt that he was extremely frustrated, but he also understood that Qi Zhen was not an opponent so easy to fall.

Let's wait and see, if before, he always felt that he owed Qi Zhen, but this time, his friends and lover almost died, and he also lost his long-awaited child, so he paid it off.

From now on, he will never back down again.

But at this time, the other person was not as lucky as Qi Zhen, but was deeply trapped in it and couldn't extricate himself - Shiman couldn't explain why he had put a huge amount of money into that card the day before the crime happened.

In order to facilitate the investigation, she has been sent from Beijing to the ancient city.

Consecutive days of interrogation and panic had made her haggard quickly, like a flower that has failed to bloom.

When the criminal policeman here told her that Qi Zhen didn't admit to anything, and even said that her matter had nothing to do with him, she widened her bloodshot eyes until tears gradually came out.

"I want to see Qi Zhen, I want to see Qi Zhen..." She shouted uncontrollably, but the police refused, in order to avoid collusion.

When she was taken back to the small room where she was held and sat alone on the hard wooden bed, she suddenly laughed, and the laughter grew louder.

It's funny how he abandoned her after she had fantasized vainly for so long.

At a critical moment, he left her behind, but he got away cleanly.

She was so stupid, she thought for a while that she would go to jail with him at worst.

After a long time, she was probably the only one who went to jail in the end, and he was still in the outside world, continuing to enjoy himself happily.

"What's the noise, be quiet." The guard yelled outside, she stopped laughing, leaned against the wall, drooping her eyelids, tears rolling down her face slowly...

The one who didn't give up on her was Shi Mu.

She ran around to find connections for the Shimantu people. When Shiman was brought to the ancient city, she followed the ancient city again.

Shi's mother knew that Shi Man had gone too far this time, and Lu Zhengnan could not let her go, but she still had to bite the bullet and call the old man to intercede.

After all, Shiman is his daughter, so the old man finally went out to meet Shi's mother.

"Brother Zhan, save Xiaoman." When Shi's mother saw him, she cried out, "She grew up as Xiaochang, she has never suffered such hardship, and now she is locked in, how can she survive? "

"Who told her to do something so inferior to a beast?" The old man growled: "If he really has something to do with that person, then she knew in advance that he was going to harm Zhengnan and Chu Xiao, even if she had a feud with Chu Xiao, but Zhengnan is her own brother, why doesn't she care about brotherhood at all?!"

"It's her fault... I know it's her fault..." Shi Mu begged sadly, "But she is your daughter... If she is really sentenced... What will she do in this life... I can't help it..." what to do……"

She tugged on his sleeve and kept crying, and his expression gradually changed from initial anger to helplessness, and finally to sadness.

This can be regarded as his own sin. It is his step by step that made mistakes until today.

Shi's mother cried to the end, but she was hopeless, so she just sat there in a daze, looking at the sky outside the window, from bright to dark.

This is how their life came to an end.

She didn't even know when he left, or maybe, he had already left, from her life.

Interest and greed have long since gradually wiped out their feelings.

****************************
When the old man returned to the hospital, through the glass on the ward door, he saw Lu Zhengnan holding a towel and helping Ye Chuxiao wipe his face bit by bit, so meticulous and loving.

He couldn't move anymore, and slowly sat on the chair by the door.

He also feels sorry for Shiman, but what can he do, talk to them?
What Shiman did is hard for anyone to forgive.

"Dad, why are you sitting here?" When Lu Zhengnan came over to pour water, he accidentally saw him by the door.

He hurriedly stood up with an almost cramped expression: "It's okay, it's okay."

But after all, they are father and son, he can't hide it from Lu Zhengnan.

Lu Zhengnan's eyes flashed: "You come in first."

The old man had no choice but to follow him in, sat on the sofa, and just sighed heavily.

Ye Chuxiao is also awake now, but her body is still unable to move. Seeing this scene, she slowly turned her head and asked Lu Zhengnan with her eyes.

Lu Zhengnan patted the back of her hand lightly, and then asked the old man: "Tell me, Dad."

The old man hesitated to speak for a few times before finally opening his mouth with difficulty: "Xiaoman... Shiman's mother... just came to me..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Zhengnan understood in his heart, holding Ye Chuxiao's hand, his strength tightened suddenly.

"I know...she's sorry for you." The old man covered his eyes with his palms, he didn't have the courage to look at them, his voice was slightly choked up: "I don't have the face to ask you to forgive her...what to do...just do... She deserves to be punished."

If he begged for mercy, Lu Zhengnan would definitely refuse at this moment.

But he didn't, looking at his old father, saying so desolately that Shi Man should be punished, Lu Zhengnan also had mixed feelings in his heart.

He hated Schman.

In other words, from the beginning to the end, he never acknowledged this half-sister for a moment.

However, she is her father's daughter after all, half blood with her.

He also didn't want to get to where he is today.

At this moment, his palm was lightly squeezed, he turned his gaze, saw Ye Chuxiao looking at him, and shook his head gently.

He could understand her eyes, she was saying: Forgive me.

She asked him to forgive.

This silly girl.With a sore heart in his heart, he held her hand back and clasped his fingers tightly.

"Father..." she said, her voice was still broken and dull: "...don't pursue her..."

The old man suddenly raised his head, looked at this daughter-in-law, and burst into tears.

Ye Chuxiao looked at him with pity.

In fact, she didn't want to forgive Shiman either. She couldn't be tolerant of such an injury.

But she couldn't bear to see this old man, in his twilight years, watching his sons and daughters kill each other.

In her life, there is a lack of family affection, so she is more considerate of family affection.

Her persistence forced Lu Zhengnan to compromise, and he no longer paid close attention to Shi Man's matter.

But this time, Shi Lei was quite loyal, he always insisted that he did everything alone, and even admitted that Shiman's card was stolen by him.

Seeing that the wind direction had changed, Shiman bravely changed his words and said that he didn't know that the card was lost, so he used another card to transfer the account.

Both parties refused to admit it, not to mention that Lu Zhengnan and the others deliberately let her go, so the matter finally came to an end.

On the day Shiman was released, he cried with Shi's mother.Later, Shi's mother asked her to thank Lu Zhengnan and Ye Chuxiao, but she couldn't save face and refused to die, so Shi's mother had to go alone.

However, as soon as he walked to the door of the ward, he met Mother Lu.

"What are you doing here?" Mother Lu asked coldly.

"I'm..." Shi's mother was now at a loss, so she had to force herself to laugh: "Xiaoman was released this time, thanks to Zhengnan's generosity..."

"What? Released?" Mother Lu's voice suddenly rose, and then she became furious.

She rushed into the room and yelled at the three of them: "You, ah, you, why are you pretending to be a merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva, especially you!" Her fingertips pointed at Ye Chuxiao: "You still forgive me!" She, how amazing you are, she made you unable to conceive a child in your life, you still forgive her..."

"Mom!" Lu Zhengnan hurriedly wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Ye Chuxiao's eyes suddenly disappeared.

After waking up, she only knew that the child was gone. Although she was heartbroken, she had to accept this reality.And Lu Zhengnan and the others have been comforting her, saying that when she recovers, she can conceive another one.

She also held this hope and tried to comfort herself, saying that the baby will come back, and she will come back later.

But now...now Mother Lu said...she will never be able to conceive a child in her life.

In this lifetime, she and Zhengnan will not be able to have children.

Tears are like water breaking a dike, rolling down in an instant...
