Guo Jingyu only slept for three or four hours before returning to his room.
Onigiri got up when he heard the movement, and followed along with his slippers in his mouth. He was probably not fully awake, and was almost thrown into a somersault by his slippers.
In the next few days, Guo Jingyu slept here with rice balls every night. At first, he set the alarm, but later found that the rice balls were better than the alarm, basically as long as there was a little early rise from his parents. , the rice ball hummed twice and wanted to go out to follow - it was used to going out with Dad Guo to buy breakfast in the morning, and this was also the time for it to let out the air every day.
Guo Jingyu figured out the rules and quickly mastered and applied them.
At first, Li Tongzhou was a little worried that he would affect his rest. Later, he found that it was unnecessary. The tutor invited by Guo's father and Guo's mother was responsible for the morning and afternoon homework. There was more than two hours of rest time at noon, and Guo Jingyu would drag him with him. Make up for this sleep.
Li Tongzhou couldn't sleep that much. He took a habit of resting for 20 minutes, then got up and sat beside the bed to read a book, or to make a model that Guo Jingyu had made half of before. Guo Jingyu seemed to have a radar on his body. As long as he was in this room, he would be able to sleep soundly. Occasionally he would get up and go to the living room to get a glass of water. When he came back, he would surely see this man half-sitting up and staring at the person at the door of the room. direction in a daze.
Li Tongzhou walked over to feed him a little water, kissed his forehead, and the other party would continue to sleep with his eyes closed half asleep.
Guo Jingyu started going out after half a month after returning home.
Each time does not exceed an hour.
He called to contact people outside, and did not avoid Li Tongzhou, but called Lao Chen.
Lao Chen has been running around outside for a while. According to Guo Jingyu's arrangement, he began to contact those who came out of the Fourth Hospital Sanatorium, especially those students who did not have the financial capacity. Find a reliable lawyer.
Lao Chen said on the phone: "Seven or eight people have been arranged, but it is less than I thought. The Fourth Hospital Sanatorium is a big deal. Many law firms have provided free assistance, and some Internet I don't think there's any money left over from the donation, so I donated a part of it as you said before."
Guo Jingyu said: "It's hard work, I'll pay you a labor fee after the work is done."
Old Chen hurriedly said: "No, no, what I gave before is enough."
Guo Jingyu said: "It should be, after all, you have traveled so many places to calculate the allowance for business trips."
Hearing the voice of the little master, the rice ball ran out of the bedroom in a daze, with a slipper of Guo Jingyu in his mouth, and he didn't know where it came from. He dragged him over and put it at Guo Jingyu's feet, hugged him and started nibbling, not at all afraid of the master's anger, but as if he was performing a show.
Guo Jingyu glanced down at it, and scratched it with his toes while talking to Lao Chen, "By the way, what happened to the thing you asked you to check last time?"
The rice ball was too small, so it leaned back to reveal its belly, it wasn't afraid at all, it hugged Guo Jingyu's feet with its small paws and licked it happily.
Rice balls are smart!
This is family, can't bite, but can lick!
Guo Jingyu got itchy toes licked by the rice balls, put his feet back and put them back in his slippers, and continued to listen to Lao Chen. This time, Lao Chen's voice was much lower, and he didn't interrupt him, only occasionally saying "um" Hearing, hearing the frowning behind him, he was absent-mindedly teasing the little brat at his feet.
"...That's probably the case. We followed shifts for a while, but we didn't see him interacting with other suspicious people. Most of the people who walked around were colleagues. I will go to the provincial capital to hold a meeting, but I can't help but persevere, and it has not changed after Li Tongzhou's accident, and it has always been like this."
"Um."
"As for Jiang Min, her work has stopped now, and she was interviewed by the newspaper with several other parents, and spent a lot of money to find someone." Old Chen paused and sighed softly, " I don't think it's easy for her to listen, and if things go on like this, I'm afraid the job won't be able to be saved."
Guo Jingyu touched the rice ball's butt with his toes, the little cub snorted, and the whole dog lay down on his shoes, lying down and nibbled two small bites.
Old Chen was also waiting for Guo Jingyu to speak.
Guo Jingyu said after a while, "I see, see you tomorrow night at the same place at eight o'clock, we'll talk after we meet."
Old Chen agreed and hung up the phone.
Guo Jingyu put his mobile phone in his pocket, bent down and picked up the rice balls and took them back to the room. Li Tongzhou and his tutor were sitting there discussing problems when they saw him come in and asked, "Are you done?"
Guo Jingyu nodded and sat down to listen to the class.
The tutor didn't know what he was doing, but Li Tongzhou knew something about the fact that he was looking for a lawyer. When he handed over the textbook, he whispered, "Thank you."
Guo Jingyu glanced at him and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, isn't this what I should do? If you don't breathe, I'll be suffocated to death."
The tutor looked at them, his eyes fell on Guo Jingyu's face, and he asked carefully, "Yes, what happened?"
Guo Jingyu deliberately scare him: "It's okay, my brother in school is in a little trouble, just move his fist, no need to say any big reason."
The tutor was stunned for a moment, and finally Li Tongzhou said, "He's just playing, not fighting."
The little teacher laughed twice, scratched his head and said, "I'm just saying, the third year of high school is so tight, and there is no time for any group activities."
Guo Jingyu was amused by his description, turned the ballpoint pen on his finger twice, and lowered his head to start taking notes.
Although they do not go to school, time is still very tight.
In the past few days, all his test papers were brought by He Xiangyang from the school, and they were placed on the table in stacks. Just by looking at them, you could feel the pressure from the senior year. Li Tongzhou has done a good job in the simulation test these times, and his scores are as stable as before, which makes Guo Jingyu relieved. At least this time Li Tongzhou did not affect his performance due to external reasons. On the contrary, his scores were not stable and needed to be done more. Some questions, get back the feel.
The next day was Grandma Gu's birthday. The Guo family took a day off from the company as usual and prepared to go out early in the morning. The old lady is celebrating her 70th birthday this time. They have prepared a lot of gifts for the younger generation. Dad Guo also borrowed a city off-road vehicle from a friend. This car is bigger, and it is safe to pick up the old lady. It is easy to shake the old lady. motion sickness.
Guo Jingyu didn't go with them. The reason was very simple. The college entrance examination was more than a week away, so he wanted to stay for review.
Grandma Gu didn't know that the little grandson had tossed so many things, and when she called, she also told him not to come and let him study hard.
Guo's mother looked at him suspiciously, stared at him for a while, dragged him to the balcony and lowered her voice, "Don't think I can't see your little tricks, don't mess around, do you know?"
Guo Jingyu's heart sank, but he still smiled: "What are you talking about, I don't understand."
Guo's mother pinched him, gritted her teeth and said, "I haven't criticized you yet about your early love. You can't take advantage of our absence... Bullying Xiaozhou, do you hear? You study hard at home, and I'll ask the tutor to come and watch. , and live here at night, you are not allowed to mess around."
Guo Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief, patted her hand to reassure her, and said, "What are you thinking about, the exam is about to take place. We are all thinking about the exam questions now, how can we think so much."
Guo's mother was skeptical and asked him to reassure him before going out.
As expected, the tutor came over in the morning and stayed until after 5 o'clock in the evening, but didn't stay as Mama Guo said. Grandma Gu is quite far away, and it is customary for the elderly to have a lively night, and many relatives and friends come here. How could Mom and Dad Guo not be able to make it back tonight.
In the refrigerator, there are side dishes prepared by Guo's father in advance and the prepared ribs. Guo Jingyu takes it out and heats it up, and the ribs can be cooked after cooking, which is very convenient.
Guo Jingyu ate with Li Tongzhou and planned to go out around 7:30.
Li Tongzhou sent him to the door and asked doubtfully, "Where are you going, shall I come with you?"
Guo Jingyu changed his shoes, lowered his head and said, "I went to see Lao Chen, and he found a lawyer there. I'll go over and talk about the specifics of that day, and I'll be back soon."
Li Tongzhou still wanted to talk, but Guo Jingyu turned around and hugged him, whispering, "Just wait for me at home, okay?"
Li Tongzhou paused for a while, but still reached out and touched his head, and agreed.
Guo Jingyu kissed him on the chin and went out.
After leaving the community, he put on the hat in the backpack, lowered the brim, and quickly blended into the night.
He came out this time not only to find Lao Chen, but also to do something that he had endured for a long time.
On the other side, Li Qingcheng was sitting in the car, preparing to return to the small apartment.
Except for the first few days, he has completely resumed his previous schedule, and it has not been affected by the sudden disappearance of his son. He is only dissatisfied with this matter, and has not reflected on his own fault.
After Jiang Min got angry that day, she was in a state of incompatibility when she saw him.
During this period of time, Li Qingcheng lived in a small apartment not far from his work unit.
Li Qingcheng, as before, asked the driver to go back after getting off the car, and then walked back to the small apartment. He lives here on the ninth floor. After going up the elevator, he took out the key from his pocket to open the door. This is an old-fashioned apartment with three households on one ladder. The emergency passage is diagonally opposite to the elevator. You can climb the stairs all the way up. Usually, there are neighbors who have forgotten their keys. It is not surprising to hear any noise.
Li Qingcheng has lived here for a few years. The sound insulation in the room is not bad, but it is a little noisy outside, but he can bear it.
Just as he opened the door, footsteps suddenly came from behind, and a black figure approached from behind and pushed him and squeezed into the door. Li Qingcheng was startled and wanted to turn around to look, but he was caught by him. The man covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and the pungent odor instantly made him inhale into his lungs, almost choking, his eyes were so stimulated that he couldn't open his eyes, numbness started from his mouth and nose, and spread little by little to his hands and feet. Panic in his heart, he begged for mercy with a big tongue: "I want money, yes, I'll give you... money... negotiable..."
The other party lowered the brim of his hat and wore a black mask, so he could only tell that he was a young man, and the clothes on his body could only be seen as a sports suit. Except for his height, he had no special features in the crowd.
He didn't listen to what Li Qingcheng said, just dragged him to the sofa after he didn't have the strength to resist.
Li Qingcheng's eyes were blurred, but his tie was tied around his eyes, and his hands and feet were tied. The complete darkness made him panic. After shouting twice, a ball of cloth was stuffed into his mouth.
The other party never said a word from the beginning to the end, which was what scared Li Qingcheng the most. He didn't know what this person wanted, and even began to quickly recall who he had offended, but after thinking about it, he would not use such a means to seek revenge. All he thought about were the negotiating chips of adults, and he never thought of another possibility until he heard the person beside him open the suitcase and take some instrument that made a sound like the electricity was connected, listening to "Di Di" twice, and his body suddenly froze.
Li Qingcheng shouted "uuuuu" and wanted to talk to that person, but the other party didn't have any idea of communicating at all. He directly posted two pieces of things on his temple. Li Qingcheng wanted to shake his head, but he had not fully recovered from the numbness. Come here, the movement is very small.
The machine sounded, but this time, its two slight electric currents couldn't compare to Li Qingcheng's screams. Even if the cloth was stuffed in his mouth, he could still hear his pain. After recovering, he was electrocuted again. This time, the blue veins on his forehead and neck collapsed. The whole person arched up like a shrimp, bounced twice on the sofa, and fell again, his chest rising and falling sharply.
The other party asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you wrong?"
Li Qingcheng was able to grit his teeth and persist at first, but later on, he couldn't. He couldn't remember how many times he was electrocuted. The pain was too unbearable. It seemed like a century had passed. After crying and begging for mercy, he no longer had the slightest sense of wanting to resist.
The other party stopped and said in a gruff voice, "Are you wrong?"
Li Qingcheng only had the thought of begging for mercy, and his temper just now was completely smoothed out. After the cloth in his mouth was removed, he subconsciously apologized to him.
"What did you do wrong, why apologize."
"I, I made a lot of mistakes, I apologize, I apologize to you..."
The other party was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "This is just a greeting to the newcomer. There are 18 times in total, and it is only halfway through now. How does the slightest electric current feel?"
