It was already midnight when Chen Xiao woke up.
He suddenly woke up from his deep sleep, opened his eyes suddenly, and like a person who was awakened from a nightmare, he suddenly turned over and sat upright!
There was no one in the hospital's observation room. Because Chen Xiao didn't have any injuries, he was just asleep, and no abnormal findings were found after testing, so the people in the emergency room simply left him here.
When Chen Xiao woke up, his first reaction was to touch his head. Then, as if he couldn't believe it, he carefully touched his arms, chest and abdomen...
After making sure that everything was intact, Chen Xiao immediately broke out in a cold sweat!
I clearly remember... that car really hit me at that time!
After waking up, his memories finally came back bit by bit. Chen Xiao tried hard to recall every detail of that time. The more he thought about it, the more he started to sweat!
The car rushed towards him, and he fell into a state of instinctive sluggishness and shock. He was unable to make any dodge action—it was too late. But at the moment when the car hit him, Chen Xiao vaguely remembered that some kind of power seemed to suddenly emerge from his body
That kind of power emerged in an almost explosive way, and the feeling of instant excitement throughout the body was as if a person was electrified. At that time, I just closed my eyes unconsciously and hugged my arms tightly...
"The car hit me, I'm fine, but the car flew out?" Chen Xiao felt his mouth was dry, and his heartbeat began to accelerate again under the dryness of his mouth.
The young boy vaguely understood that his body might have undergone some changes that he could not recognize!
He quickly remembered what the guy named Lei Hu in the "Service Club" had said to him. And what Hei San, also known as Yanni, told herself before leaving:
I have been put on the "watch list" of the service agency!
"What is this? A superpower?" Chen Xiao raised his hand and looked at his fingers carefully. They were still slender. He had played the piano since he was a child. In the past two years, because of his hard work, the roots of his slender fingers were close to the palm of his hand. Calluses have grown.
This hand was still made of flesh and blood. It was hard to imagine how I had the strength to lift a speeding car... off? !
He was in a daze when the door was pushed open. Outside the door, the hostess of his employer walked in with a tired look on his face. The originally well-maintained face had a swollen forehead. His face was full of exhaustion and sadness, but he steeled himself, pretended to smile, walked in, and came to Chen Xiao's side.
"Are you awake? Chen Xiao." The lady's eyes flickered: "Thank you for what happened today. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would be dead by now."
Chen Xiao felt a little confused at the moment and just shook his head: "It's nothing. When I saw that situation, I couldn't just ignore it."
He just said this, but tears already flowed from the woman's eyes. She sat on the edge of the bed, covered her mouth hard, and sobbed quietly.
After all, Chen Xiao is a kind person. He sighed and said gently: "Today's matter, you..."
"I really wish I was dead." The woman shook her head, sobbing in a sad voice.
"Uh... the one driving the car must be your husband." Chen Xiao touched his nose: "You guys..."
The woman wiped her tears and looked at Chen Xiao: "You have seen it and heard it. I just didn't expect that he would be so heartless..."
Later, the woman wiped her tears while talking.
The story is simple and not uncommon. She and her husband, who had been married for more than ten years, originally lived a peaceful life. It's just that in recent years, the husband's career has become more and more prosperous, and he gradually has less energy to pay attention to his family, and the relationship between the couple has also become somewhat cold.
And, as the saying goes, men change when they have money. After her husband became successful in his career, his thoughts became more and more erratic, his temper became increasingly irritable, and he developed some bad habits. He spent a lot of time drinking, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and even kept a woman outside.
"I have known all this for a long time." The woman sighed with sad eyes: "But for the sake of my daughter and An Qi, I have been patient and kept silent. I don't want my daughter to have no family at such a young age. However, recently, he has gone too far..."
Chen Xiao watched the lady wiping tears in front of him, paused for a moment, and handed over a tissue.
"Thank you." The woman's eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was hoarse: "We had a big argument again today. He has been obsessed with gambling recently and has lost a lot. Yesterday he mortgaged a car to someone else, and he came back to get it today. The money needs to be recovered. Recently, he has been acting more and more recklessly, and he has lost most of his family's savings. The company's situation is not good either... "
"Does your daughter know these things?" Chen Xiao asked carefully.
"An Qi doesn't know." There was a hint of tenderness in the woman's eyes: "I have always wanted to protect her and don't want her to know these things. Today she happened to call and said she would come back later. I think that's fine. I can take advantage of the opportunity to be home. There are only two of us here, and I want to have a good talk with my husband and give him some advice."
Chen Xiao gritted his teeth: "Hitting his wife with his car, that guy is so inhumane!"
The woman's face was full of sadness, she shook her head, but forced a smile: "Fortunately, you were not injured. Chen Xiao, I can see that you are a good person. If you are injured because of our family's affairs, then I will be too guilty. ”
Chen Xiao smiled comfortingly: "I'm fine, but your current situation..."
"I would like to thank him for making such a fuss today, which has made me completely awake." The woman put away her tears, and her eyes gradually became firm: "I can see clearly now that he is hopeless. This collision with him , and shattered my last bit of fantasy.”
Chen Xiao sighed and said nothing else.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the ward, and then two police officers walked in.
"Excuse me, you two, we need to make a record of what happened today." Two policemen walked in. One of them saw Chen Xiao sitting on the bed and couldn't help but froze for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing. : "Yi? What a coincidence, it's you again?"
Chen Xiao also recognized the policeman, a thin middle-aged man with ordinary appearance but sharp eyesight. It was the police officer who took notes on himself when he encountered a robber last time. Later, when he drove him home in a police car, he also left a phone number for him.
Well, remember, his surname seems to be Xu...
"Hello, Officer Xu." Chen Xiao smiled politely and nodded.
Officer Xu seemed to have a higher rank than his colleagues. When he saw Chen Xiao, a strange look flashed in his eyes and he tilted his head to his colleague: "You go out first, I will handle this matter."
His colleagues had no objection and walked out directly.
"Chen Xiao, let's talk about today's events." Officer Xu pulled up a chair and sat beside Chen Xiao's bed. He stared at Chen Xiao with eyes full of curiosity and interest: "It's only been a few days. We have met for the second time, what a coincidence.”
Chen Xiao felt a little uneasy when he saw him, so he forced a smile: "Mr. Police Officer, what happened today was just a chance encounter."
"Tell me about it." Officer Xu took out a transcript: "Please tell me in detail what happened today." He looked at the lady again: "And you, please tell me about it too. What happened at that time?"
After a pause, his tone was very calm: "Your husband is still in a coma, but we have obtained the test results. He was obviously drunk before driving, so let's not talk about anything else. This is a violation. The law has passed. What awaits him is a lifetime driving ban and fifteen days of detention. But I personally still have some doubts about this matter."
The woman's eyes were a little nervous.
"I have seen the scene and after investigation, I suspect that your husband may have consciously driven his car into you! If this is the case, then he is suspected of deliberately injuring others. If it is more serious, he can be charged. Premeditated murder." Officer Xu's voice was cold: "Even if he is drunk, the law is very clear, and drunk people must also bear criminal responsibility."
Hurtful? murder
The woman seemed startled and her expression changed. After her expression changed several times, she immediately shook her head and said in a firm voice: "That's not the kind of officer he is. He didn't want to kill me. He was driving away. I didn't want him to leave, so I rushed forward to stop him..."
Officer Xu stared at her with squinted eyes for a while, as if thoughtful, and finally nodded slowly: "Okay, if you say so."
Then he turned his head and looked at Chen Xiao: "Mr. Chen Xiao, what about you? Can you describe to me what happened?"
Chen Xiao already had a rough idea of what to say in his mind. He thought for a moment and whispered: "I was going to this lady's house. Well, I had a job as an English tutor for her daughter. I walked there, When I saw the car was about to hit the lady, I rushed to her rescue and pushed her away."
Officer Xu seemed to smile, his eyes flickering, half-smiling: "Oh? Then you pushed the lady away at that time? The car crashed into you and you were not injured?"
Chen Xiao gritted his teeth: "The car... didn't hit me." His thoughts gradually became smoother, and he pretended to be calm: "I pushed the lady away at that time, and when I saw the car hit me, I was scared to death. I thought I'm afraid I'm doomed this time. But then, the car suddenly changed its direction and passed me without hitting me. Well, I think it was probably the gentleman who responded in time. As a result, the car lost control. , and hit the green belt next to it."
"You mean, the car turned on its own?" Officer Xu looked at Chen Xiao with a smile. Chen Xiao was a little nervous when he saw her, but she could only bite the bullet and said, "Yes."
"Then why were you unconscious for so long?"
Chen Xiao scratched the back of his head: "Well... maybe it's because I was frightened. As you know, people can also faint under extreme fear."
Officer Xu stared at Chen Xiao with his keen eyes for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking. But in the end he smiled and slowly closed the notebook: "Okay, then I understand."
He had already stood up and glanced at Chen Xiao and the lady: "Both of you are frightened, please have a good rest first. If there are any problems with this matter, we will contact you."
Officer Xu had already left. He just walked to the door of the ward, but deliberately stopped, turned around and looked at Chen Xiao, with a half-smile on his face: "Chen Xiao, your body is recovering so fast. What happened three days ago After the kidnapping incident, I also saw you in the hospital, and you were seriously injured at that time."
After saying that, he pushed the door open and went out.
Chen Xiao's expression suddenly changed!
After the kidnapping three days ago, I was in the hospital with many bandages on my arms and chest, and some broken bones! At that time, I couldn’t even walk steadily! Officer Xu has seen it all! In just three days, I was able to work as a tutor for others...
And look at myself now, my arms are exposed, the skin is smooth and intact... Where is there a trace of scar?
Involuntarily, cold sweat broke out.
