Shi Xiaonian let go of her hand, grabbed a stack of paper and slowly stood up from the ground. She knelt for too long, her knees hurt, her head was a little dizzy, and she swayed twice.
Gong Ou supported her and frowned, "Are you okay?"
"fine."
Shi Xiaonian shook her head, trying to hold up a smile but couldn't. She collected all the documents in her hands and put them into a black folder, carefully, like treating treasured jewelry.
"You just stay at home these days and don't go anywhere. I will accompany you to the police station." Gong Ou said coldly, his tone absolutely strong.
Of course he was talking about Mu Qianchu. Even if Mu Qianchu became a vegetative state, he would still mind.
Shi Xiaonian was too aware of Wong Bao Ou's thoughts. It had been very difficult for him to endure the past three days. She held the black folder in her arms and said softly, "Then can I personally deliver the last wishes of the victims to them?" At home, erect a monument for them?"
"It's useless for you to go. Instead, you will be in danger. Fengde will send people to do these things." Gong Ou refused again.
She didn't want to play any role, she just wanted to do her part, that's all.
"I understand, then I'll go out first."
Shi Xiaonian walked out holding the folder, holding the folder tightly with her fingers, feeling sad and guilty for the deceased.
There was nothing she could do for them.
She walked to the door, and Gong Ou's voice sounded behind her, "Shi Xiaonian, do you have anything you want to eat? Let the kitchen prepare it for lunch. You don't have to cook for the time being."
She was sad and this was the only way he could think of to comfort her.
"oh."
Shi Xiaonian nodded, raised her feet and walked out. Not far away, she saw Luo Lie standing with his back against a pillar, cleaning his glasses. The sunlight swayed across his face, but it couldn't wipe away the heaviness. .
"Doctor Luo."
Shi Xiaonian walked forward.
"Mrs. Gong, I have something to tell you." Luo Lie put his glasses back with a serious look on his face, "I wanted to erect a monument for the brothers who died, but I was rejected. They said that I am responsible for you first."
Even Luo Lie can't leave
Shi Xiaonian lowered her eyes, not knowing what to say. She walked forward, and Luo Lie chased after her. He said with some dissatisfaction, "Mrs. Gong, it's not that I'm not responsible for your health, and I won't put myself in this situation casually." It's dangerous, but I need to do something for those brothers, this is humanity, I need to get out."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian hugged the folder in his hand even more tightly, "My adoptive father will arrange for the erection of a monument."
Her voice sounded hollow, inexplicably guilty.
"I know anyone can do such things as erecting monuments, but I have to express my feelings. We have been together under the same roof for so long." Luo Lie was a little angry, "I heard that we will be moved soon. , just to erect a monument and not let me do it? Mrs. Gong, can you talk to Mr. Gong... "
Halfway through the words, Luo Lie saw Shi Xiaonian's face getting paler and understood what was going on. He stretched out his hand and punched the wall hatefully and said, "Mr. Gong is really the most extreme person I have ever seen." , he will do anything for you, even give up his dignity and life, but other than you, he is too cold-blooded towards people and things!"
“…”
Shi Xiaonian wished he could embed the black folder into his body and bury it deep inside his body forever.
"Mrs. Gong, I think you should do something. If this continues, the Hill incident and the explosion in City S will happen again and again. He doesn't care, but our conscience has to pay for these life debts!" Luo Lie said angrily. .
"He has no choice. In this battle with Lancaster, he is just protecting himself." Shi Xiaonian whispered, which was extremely difficult to say.
Luo Lie didn't expect that Shi Xiaonian would still speak for Gong Ou at this time. All of them became passive pawns. No one asked them for their opinions. He thought she could see the killing most clearly.
"Forget it, I'll go talk to Mr. Gong."
The worst he could do was to get beaten up, but Gong Ou wouldn't kill him yet and wanted to keep his life.
Luo Lie said that he was about to leave. Shi Xiaonian grabbed his sleeve and frowned, "Don't go. He is already very annoyed. He is under great pressure. He has to handle everything."
Don't bother him anymore.
Luo Lie looked at her dissatisfied, "You thought about him, what about him? OK, I don't care, what about you? What kind of situation have you been forced into? How many times can you maintain such a mental state and be treated as a pawn like this? Destiny, how many times do you insist on watching the people around you disappear one by one?"
"..." Shi Xiaonian held his hand stiffly.
"Mr. Mu is already lying there. It's impossible for another Mr. Mu to enlighten you every day!" Luo Lie stared at her and said sternly, "He is lying there for you. If you can't get out, can you deserve him?"
“…”
If she could, she'd rather be the one lying there.
Luo Lie turned around to leave again, but Shi Xiaonian once again grabbed his sleeve. Luo Lie became even more angry, "Mrs. Gong, are you worthy of those brothers who have fought for you through life and death? You can't even build a monument for them. Don’t let me do it yet!”
"Let me go and say it."
Her voice was so low that it was as if she had never said it before.
Luo Lie looked at her in surprise. Shi Xiaonian lowered his head and said, "Don't use my name to talk to Gong Ou. If he has a proud personality and can't accept it, let me go."
These words cannot be known to Gong Ou from a third party.
"Don't you keep saying you are considerate of him?" Luo Lie's tone softened, "Can you really do it? He does everything for you, how can you blame a man who does everything for you?"
If she could do it, she would have blamed Gong Ou for the Hill incident, but she didn't do it from beginning to end, keeping all her worries in her heart.
He said this just because he didn't want to go to Gong Ou, challenge Gong Ou's authority, and make Gong Ou troubled.
"let me try."
Shi Xiaonian said with persistence.
"Okay then, don't be too burdened. You really need to have a good chat with him, express your inner thoughts, and don't be an absolute dominated person." Luo Lie sighed and turned around. leave.
I hope Shi Xiaonian can actually have a chat instead of just trying to compromise.
…
The sun is warm, and there are fewer pedestrians and vehicles on the roads in S City than usual.
There are police officers on all routes.
A row of luxury cars drove through the center of City S toward the police station. There were police cars helping to clear the way. As soon as the car stopped, the police and bodyguards formed a human wall around the car.
Gong Ou opened the door for Shi Xiaonian with his own hands. Shi Xiaonian was hugged by him as soon as he got off the car and walked into the police station under the protection of everyone.
The police station immediately arranged for her to take notes.
Gong Ou didn't like to use the interrogation room to restrain her and put her under psychological pressure, so he arranged for the brightest conference room. As soon as Shi Xiaonian sat down, she was not facing an aggressive policeman, but a steaming cup of Milk and smiling policewoman.
"Thanks."
Shi Xiaonian thanked her lightly and reached out to get the cup. Gong Ou pressed her hand, and a bodyguard immediately took the milk away. Feng De changed a cup of milk and handed it to her.
The policewoman's expression suddenly became a little awkward, "Mrs. Gong, today I am just making a record as usual to facilitate our investigation. Can you describe the events surrounding the 910 bombing?"
"Okay." Shi Xiaonian nodded and replayed the scenes of that day in front of him one by one, and all the bloody and terrifying scenes were revealed.
She said it slowly, as if she was experiencing it all over again, and her body became colder little by little.
Gong Ou hugged her tightly, and the warmth of his fingers relieved her coldness. Shi Xiaonian suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since she had felt Gong Ou's close warmth.
The policewoman showed her several photos and asked her to identify some of the people who shot her. It was obvious that the photos had been carefully selected, but some of them still couldn't avoid being bloody.
"This, this, this is what we met in the underground garage." Shi Xiaonian took the photos and pointed them one by one, and his finger touched a bloody photo.
Her body stiffened slightly, and before she could react, the photo was overturned by Gong Ou. Gong Ou jumped up and stared at the policewoman with a sharp look, "Who allowed you to publish such a photo?"
Facing Gong Ou's anger, the policewoman was so frightened that she stood up quickly, bent down and lowered her head repeatedly, "I'm sorry, sorry, maybe there was a mistake in the archives. Mrs. Gong, I'm really sorry, I'm so sorry!"
Shi Xiaonian's head was a little dizzy, so she stood up from the chair and said, "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom."
"I'll accompany you!"
Gong Ou said immediately, following her step by step.
Shi Xiaonian's heart trembled. It would be great if he was always willing to say this to her, but she knew that this companionship would not last for a few days.
Before Shi Xiaonian entered the bathroom, Feng De sent someone to check the inside and outside of the bathroom thoroughly. There were even bodyguards on duty outside the window before she was let in.
"Shall I accompany you in?" Gong Ou stared at her and asked.
"This is the women's bathroom, it's okay." Shi Xiaonian walked in, stood in front of the sink and washed her face. The scenes of the shootings appeared in front of her eyes.
She looked into the mirror and watched the water droplets falling from her face. There was no sparkle in her eyes.
She had to face it and suppress those images, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get out.
But once the pressure is down, can she come out
After waiting in the bathroom for a long time, until Gong Ou impatiently banged on the door, Shi Xiaonian steeled herself and walked out. As soon as she went out, she bumped into a policeman who hurried past with information in his arms.
"boom."
A pile of information in the policeman's arms fell like snowflakes.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Shi Xiaonian apologized quickly. She wanted to lower her body to pick it up but Gong Ou grabbed her. She subconsciously looked at the information on the ground.
It's all about bombings.
It turned out that many innocent passers-by were injured in the explosion, and some photos fell out. Every one of them was bloody. They were of the bodyguards who died for her, and their last remains were recorded from various lenses. .
Blood all over the floor.
Full of holes. (To be continued)
