Chapter 45: He doesn't care if he lives or dies

Yu He did not meet Qingcheng Xie.

It was as if he was determined to disappear from Qingcheng Xie's side completely, and any message to him was lost in the sea.

Hospital Qingcheng Xie also went to, but Yu He is not used to the public hospital noise, quickly transferred to the private, Qingcheng Xie can not even enter the door.

The next few days were also chaotic for Qingcheng Xie.

Xue Xie , Man Chen ...... concerned about his old neighborhood, colleagues, leaders, there are all kinds of people looking for him, asking him what really happened that night, why he was hung up on Broadcasting Tower by an organization. On top of that, he has to be summoned by the police from time to time, go to the police station to complete the investigation and go through the process.

He knew the internet was already buzzing over this, but it surprisingly couldn't affect him much because he simply had little time to sit down and look at social platforms.

Xue Xie left it at that, crying and calling him for a long time. She asked him where he was, to come and look for him, but he refused to deny it, and did not tell her the exact location.

Fortunately, Xue Xie never saw the photos of her parents' death scene, and Qingcheng Xie never described the exact cause of their death to her in order to protect her from falling into the same long despair as herself.

Qingcheng Xie hopes that the less she knows, the better.

Man Chen is also here.

Man Chen, unlike Xue Xie, was fully informed. That's why he was the first to arrive, when Qingcheng Xie was still undergoing the first round of investigation.

He is not affiliated with Jingfeng Zheng their bureau, is on leave to rush over, he entered the door on the hug Qingcheng Xie, so impatient people, even half a day to bore out a sentence.

"Brother, are you trying to scare me to death."

Qingcheng Xie saw the light green stubble on his jaw, it seems that the boy did not have the heart to primp himself properly in the past two days, he sighed and patted Man Chen's back.

Later, when the investigation was easily over, Man Chen came to pick up Qingcheng Xie again.

On this day, Xue Xie was also going to come, but she was very uncomfortable due to continuous mental stress, Qingcheng Xie asked her to take a leave to go back to Strange Rain Lane to rest, and Aunt Li would take care of her.

He and Man Chen went back to the staff dormitory of Shanghai Medical College together.

The dormitory is divided into grades, for example, Qingcheng Xie lives more spacious than Xue Xie, of course, there is no denying that Xue Xie house is a mess of miscellaneous things, while Qingcheng Xie's single dormitory can be described as a family level of coldness.

"Brother, rest and take a nap, I'll make you something to eat."

Man Chen went into the kitchen.

He has been to Qingcheng Xie's dormitory more than once and knows his way around.

Qingcheng Xie was lying tiredly on the sofa when the sound of the range hood came on.

In a trance, he felt that this scene was a bit familiar, then he remembered that the day he had a mango allergy and fever, Yu He also came here and was busy in the kitchen following the recipe.

Qingcheng Xie opened his phone's address book, crossed the pile of unread messages, and finally found Yu He's name.

The chat log still stops at the messages where he asked himself about his situation.

Yu He still did not reply to him.

Qingcheng Xie thought about it, found his number from the address book, and called him once again.

Not surprisingly, the phone rang a few times and then was hung up.

Qingcheng Xie lightly sighed, he would not even coax a woman, let alone to coax a negative teenager, and that teenager is now simply more than angry, but also heartbroken, cold heart.

He didn't know what to do and raised his hand against his forehead. After a long time, he wearily put down his phone and turned to the bathroom.

When he came out of the shower and robe, Man Chen was setting the dishes at the living room table.

"Brother, do you want to ......" the words halfway through, looking up, Man Chen stopped.

He saw Qingcheng Xie, wearing a snow-white bathrobe, leaning lazily against the window pane, lighting a fire with a cigarette.

Qingcheng Xie's hair was still dripping, but he didn't bother to wipe it, and the water dripped down his neck, full and crystal, like hiding some indescribable desire, slowly rubbing into the shadow of the robe's collar.

Qingcheng Xie was in a bad mood and didn't pay attention to his image, he took a puff of his cigarette, coughed gently and turned his head to Man Chen: "What did you just want to say?"

"Oh, I, I said..." Man Chen blushed, but unfortunately Qingcheng Xie's mental state was too poor and the light in the room was bad, so he didn't see it clearly.

"I said do you want to dip some vinegar, I put down some dumplings."

Qingcheng Xie absentmindedly: "...... are available."

Man Chen then darted back into the kitchen, almost tripping over the patch panel on the floor as he turned back.

Qingcheng Xie, on the other hand, smoked his cigarette by the window and thought about it, but sent another message to Yu He:

"I still need to talk to you about the archives, thank you."

Cigarette ashes rustled and fluttered, falling in the wind, like gentle water sprites, floating in the water.

Qingcheng Xie watched quietly for a moment and then added

"I didn't think it through, I'm sorry."

He knew that Yu He might not want to hear these two sentences.

Yu He's heart was broken by the words he said on the video.

But Qingcheng Xie didn't know how to explain that. He didn't want to, much less could, explain it.

"Brother, the dumplings are cooked, come and eat them."

Qingcheng Xie turned off his phone screen and walked over to the table.

The dumplings that Man Chen cooked were the ones that Aunt Lai had wrapped and delivered earlier. They were thin-skinned and stuffed with a spring asparagus and pork filling that was melted with fresh soup jelly.

Man Chen made dry fish, and the soup was served separately so that it would cool faster. Qingcheng Xie was also tired and hungry, so he ate about 30 of them in one sitting.

Only then did Man Chen whisper, "Brother Xie, don't you ever do anything like that again."

"Do you remember how you advised me when my brother left?"

"You told me that the past, even if it is sad, can not be changed. If one still intends to continue to live. Sooner or later, you will have to clean up after yourself again."

"......"

"You also told me about my aunt and uncle, I was too young to turn around on anything, and I asked you why you didn't keep tracking it down. You and I said that the answer is very important, but sometimes one can't get stuck in the mud for an answer."

"You'd love to know the real cause of your aunt and uncle's death, to find out who framed them ...... but you can't support the family properly if you throw all your energy into it alone. You still have your sister, and ......"

Qingcheng Xie said, " Xue Xie has grown up."

"......"

"This is something that if it were ten years ago, I would have held back and not interrogated the truth. Because the price of getting the truth might be something I can't afford to pay."

"But now Xue Xie is an adult, I have no wife and children to raise. I've been selfish for nineteen years, and now is finally the time when I have nothing to hold on to, and the clues to kill my father and mother are there, and I can no longer turn a blind eye."

Man Chen rarely has a loud voice in front of Qingcheng Xie, but he couldn't help but hear it here.

"What do you mean, brother? It means that it doesn't matter if you die now, does it? All you have to do is raise your sister and see that we are all independent, and you think that if you die, it's not something unacceptable for us, is it?! -- Brother Xie, how can you ...... you say that?"

His voice was trembling.

"How can you think like that?"

"......"

Man Chen suddenly felt that Qingcheng Xie was a terrible person. He could consider the lives and deaths of all his relatives in a plan, but he would not even take his own life into account.

When Qingcheng Xie measured whether he could die, it was not "whether I want to live or not", but "if I die now, will those in my care survive on their own."

He is even self-destructive in the face of a great threat.

"You live ...... you live for other people? As long as you put others in order, you think your death is not something important is it?!"

Qingcheng Xie sighed and took a cigarette out: "I don't mean that--"

"You're not allowed to smoke anymore."

Man Chen suddenly stood up, a pressed his hand, Qing Tie face will be his cigarettes, together with the lighter, together with the cigarette case away. And then threw it directly into the trash can in front of him.

Qingcheng Xie did not get up, he sat in his chair, and after a long time he said, " Man Chen , I do not feel that my life does not matter."

"And what do you mean by that?"

"It doesn't mean much, but everything is in order of priority. To me, raising Xue Xie used to be the most important thing, ahead of the pursuit of truth. Now that this is done, and I have nothing to hold on to. The pursuit of truth becomes very important at this point."

Man Chen said with red eyes, "But your life is also important."

"......"

"In my opinion, it's more important than the truth."

Qingcheng Xie said, "You are a police officer."

Man Chen says, "But I'm still Man Chen."

"......"

No one spoke again in the room for a long time, and only the sound of the clock ticking on the wall was heard.

Finally it was Qingcheng Xie who could not bear to see Man Chen like this. He sighed, misplaced the topic and said, "Sit down. Have something to eat with me."

"......"

"Stop it and sit down."

At this point, it's a concession to Qingcheng Xie.

Although Man Chen was very reluctant, Qingcheng Xie's aura was so strong that he could never defy it for too long.

After a few seconds of stiffness, he sat down slowly under Qingcheng Xie's stare and picked up his chopsticks again, but his tears fell into the soup.

.

Inside a villa in the city.

"What?! You said Yu He is a blood compulsion?" Zhishu Lv looked at the person in front of him in shock and took a while to digest it, "Mr. Duan, you can't be joking ......"

Boss Duan flipped through the newspaper in front of him, "Lu always has such a son, he should be very happy."

Zhishu Lv The stubby fingers smeared with red nails scratched her hair, her eyes laden with shock, muttering for a moment before turning to the man in front of her, "He ...... he was judged by the organization long ago as patient case number 4, a cripple with little ability. All these years I also took care of him as if he was an ordinary patient, never thought he had the ability to mutate his condition, and you guys ...... you didn't think he had any research value ......"

Boss Duan smiled: "Then obviously, it is human to make mistakes."

"......"

" Kang Cheng Hospital patients escaped, and later the investigation came out that the people who returned to the fire at that time, one was Yu He and the other was Qingcheng Xie, and after they went in, the patients were rescued a lot at an unnatural rate. Although the reason they told the police was that some doors were unlocked and just snapped from the outside - that reason convinces the police yes, it doesn't convince you or me."

Boss Duan took a sip of the tightly steeped pu-erh tea and leisurely said to Zhishu Lv, "But Mr. Lu need not worry, since Yu He is your son, he is also our man."

Zhishu Lv eyes wandered and shook his head, "No, with his character, I'm afraid he won't ......"

"Hearts are made of flesh, blood is thicker than water, even if he is not now, sooner or later he will be on our side. What son would disobey his mother?" Boss Duan's skin smiled.

Zhishu Lv : "......"

The old pu-erh was sweet and mellow in the mouth, and Boss Duan took another sip.

Zhishu Lv said, "General Duan, in this matter, I really can't pack my bags with you. If he really has a blood compulsion, he has never mentioned this matter with us ......"

Mr. Duan laughed heartily.

"Chief Lu, is this reason that you are too biased? Even I know that you and your family Lao He don't accompany Chang Gongzi much at all, so of course his heart is far away from you. But through this incident of Broadcasting Tower, I see that he may not be that indifferent - the Dr. Xie you hired for him before, only accompanied him for a little longer, respected him a little more, and he was able to do this for the surname Xie."

Speaking of this, Zhishu Lv, on the contrary, was a bit indignant.

"If that shot had really hit him in the vitals, that ......"

"Don't you still have Li He? Li He is the most important thing to you, right?"

"......"

Boss Duan playfully scrutinized Zhishu Lv's face, which was like a puddle of unblended milkshake, red and green.

"In the future, remember to share a little of your and Lao He's charity with the eldest son, Li He is a normal child and knows you like it. But now Yu He has a blood compulsion, it would be great if he could follow us with his heart intact, saving a lot of trouble of imposing on people." Boss Duan used the tea dispenser to pour himself some more red soup, said gently, "This thing Lu take your time, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, little by little give him more attention, sooner or later he will understand your previous indifference to him. No hurry this moment."

He poured some tea soup for Zhishu Lv this time, raising his hand in gesture.

"The Pu'er that Xiao Shen brought from Yunnan this time is really good, Mr. Lu tastes it."

"......"

Seeing Zhishu Lv stiffen up, Mr. Duan's eyes got a little sharper: "You, ah, have always been a very smart person. This is why your family's Lao He could be cheated by you for so many years - your acting skills are not worse than those of the starlets raised under the hands of Mr. Huang. But acting well, can be into the scene, but also can wear help. Mr. Lu, do you understand what I mean?"

Zhishu Lv like his words stung the painful feet, a little unstable.

Mr. Duan smiled: "We have all been partners for how long. I even know you better than your family Lao He. As long as you are cooperative enough, I will keep Jiwei He's secret for you, don't worry. Have a seat."

He pushed the teacup closer to Zhishu Lv.

"Taste it, don't you like tea best?"

Zhishu Lv finally slowly sat down on the sofa in front of him, was appalled by some cold fingers touched the rim of the cup, adapted to the temperature, before lifting it up and tasting a mouthful.

The tea is swallowed and the tannins are raw.

Zhishu Lv forced a smile, "It's good."

Duan saw her indecisive look, light said: "Lv go well is to do, Huairou is a thing that takes a long time, you do not have to pressure too much, your son is only nineteen years old. Mental Bola Ai mutation disorder is more powerful only later, first let him slowly hone, the days are long and then showdown with him. I believe that by that time, he will be willing to become one of us."

Zhishu Lv : "So ...... how do you plan to sharpen him?"

"Just watch." Duan is quite relaxed, as if playing a very interesting game, "take a step, see a step, he is originally a surprise we did not expect, I think, also do not have to do too much planning for him. And this period he should be his doctor Xie hurt a lot, young people have suffered some blows, should be left to his own adjustment to adjust, let him first."

He said, leaned over and put on some more water, ready to go over the tea again.

"We also have a lot of things to do, this time the video killing, the rats that should be deterred have been deterred, Kang Cheng and Huzhou University's tail, have to keep an eye on the collection clean. We gave the dog a bone, must keep an eye on them to gnaw through, since they have led them to the scapegoat of death outside the country, then do not let the dog chase and sniff again."

Duan finished, Shi Shi cooked hot tea for himself: "Be nice to Yu He, but remember to be natural, if Jiwei He found out that something is not right, it is always you who suffer."

Zhishu Lv looked at the reflection of his own face fat and bloated out of shape in the tealight, and after a long time, murmured, "...... good. I know."
