After Luo Xiangdong finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh. But I couldn't laugh, I just felt the sourness in my heart was about to overflow.
Luo Xiangdong stared into my eyes. Suddenly he raised his hand and pushed my forehead, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's that look in your eyes? Do you pity me?"
Don't tell me, I really feel sorry for him.
After sniffing, I said out loud: "Don't argue with uncle again. Why make him angry and beat you."
Luo Xiangdong said: "I said it. No one can bully you except me, and neither can my parents."
I frowned and said, "You never said anything other than you before."
Luo Xiangdong smiled and said: "I can bully you occasionally. This is a couple's fun."
He deliberately made me laugh and lightened the mood. We were sitting in the ward chatting. They were all talking about things that had nothing to do with heavy topics.
In the afternoon, Wei Zheng, Zheng Zeyu and Qin Yichuan formed a group to see me.
I asked Qin Yichuan: "Brother Yichuan. Where are you having sex?"
Qin Yichuan said: "Tan Huan specifically asked me to tell you that she will come to see you at night. There is something going on in her family."
I nodded. Then he walked to the table and got some drinks for them. Wei Zheng said: "Zijin. You don't need to greet us. You have a good rest."
I said, "Apart from the fact that my voice is a little hoarse, nothing else is wrong with me. If the doctor hadn't told me to be hospitalized, I would have wanted to be discharged."
As soon as I said this, Wei Zheng immediately said: "By the way, I came here just now and the head nurse told me that Rong Xin has completed the discharge procedures."
Hearing this, all of us looked at Wei Zheng.
Zheng Zeyu asked: "Didn't that stinky girl pretend to be nice? Now she's causing trouble in other people's homes. She left as soon as she said she wanted to. Where did she go?"
Wei Zheng said: "The head nurse said that her friend came to pick her up. She didn't say where she went."
Zheng Zeyu said with a look of disgust on his face: "You are so young and you are so mean-spirited. If anyone marries her in the future, it will be really unfortunate for the family!"
Seeing Zheng Zeyu's serious demeanor, I was inexplicably made to laugh. But this was not the right time to laugh, so I had to listen to what they were saying.
Wei Zheng, Zheng Zeyu and Qin Yichuan all helped me investigate the drugging matter in their respective fields. But after all, there are many people in nightclubs, and if a bunch of people are trying to trick me, there will definitely be no evidence left.
I have sent people to the nightclub several times, but nothing has been gained. The mobile phone that uploaded the video was always turned off, so it is probably useless if found, and the person who used it cannot be caught.
Nowadays, everyone has red lips and white teeth. You talk about me and I talk about you. It all depends on what the listeners think.
Zheng Zeyu looked at me midway, carefully weighed his words, and asked aloud: "By the way, Zijin, the person who sent you to the hospital that day was your friend, right?"
Zheng Zeyu was talking about Zhang Danqing. He didn't mention the video, but I knew what he meant.
Luo Xiangdong was also there. I still don’t know if he has seen the video, and he never mentioned it to me.
Zhang Danqing is my brother, I often say this, but at this juncture, when I think of the scenes in the video, I feel a little guilty for no reason. I was stunned for a moment, and then tried to make my face look calmer. I nodded and replied, "Yes, he is my friend in Liangcheng. We have been close to each other since we were young. I didn't know he came to Night City. , and luckily the person I met that day was him.”
Zheng Zeyu nodded, and then said: "Have you asked him? He works in a nightclub and may know more things than us."
I shook my head: "My mobile phone is turned off and I haven't contacted anyone in the past two days."
Wei Zheng took the words and said, "That's fine. You can rest peacefully these days and take care of your throat first."
I am quite an ostrich and am afraid of hearing outside sounds, so I isolate myself.
Zheng Zeyu mentioned Zhang Danqing to me, and then I thought of this important figure. In fact, it’s not that I haven’t thought about it, it’s just that what happened to us that night was really embarrassing, and I didn’t know how to say anything, so I’ve been putting it off until now.
While Luo Xiangdong was talking to them, I took my cell phone and walked into the bathroom in the master bedroom and closed the door. After turning on the phone, as I expected, all kinds of missed and unread text messages filled the entire screen.
I paid special attention to see if there were any calls or text messages from Zhang Danqing, and it seemed to me that I received a missed call from Zhang Danqing.
After hesitating for a moment, I dialed. There was a beeping connection sound, and I secretly adjusted my breathing, telling myself that I must be calm.
The phone rang six or seven times, and Zhang Danqing's voice came from the phone: "Hello, Zijin."
My fingers holding the phone tightened a little, and then I shouted: "Brother Danqing."
Zhang Danqing said: "Are you feeling better? I called you yesterday and wanted to ask how you were doing. Please turn off your phone."
I said: "I was lying in the hospital the whole time and forgot to turn on the phone."
Zhang Danqing said a few words about my body, paused for a few seconds, and then said: "Zijin, I heard about the video, and I called you last night to tell you if you have If there is any misunderstanding that needs me to prove in person, you can call me at any time.”
Since Zhang Danqing opened the door, I took advantage of the situation and said: "Brother Danqing, I really didn't know anything that night. Thanks to you for sending me to the hospital. If I met someone else, I would be really... ugh. Brother Danqing, When you work in that nightclub, have you heard any gossip, such as about me being drugged this time? "
Zhang Danqing said: "The nightclub was too chaotic, and there were reporters who went there to dig up the relationship between me and you. I resigned."
Hearing this, I was surprised and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, Brother Danqing, for causing trouble to you..."
I always think about what outsiders will say about me, but I forget that I still have Luo Xiangdong and the others protecting me. Zhang Danqing just came to Night City and is unfamiliar with the place. He finally found a stable job, but this time it was because of me that I failed. rice bowl.
I felt very sorry, but Zhang Danqing said calmly: "Why are you telling me this?" After saying that, he asked me again: "Is Luo Xiangdong back?"
"Well, I'm back."
"How did he say?"
"He and his friends are helping me investigate. I also wanted to ask you, but I didn't expect you to resign."
Zhang Danqing said: "Zijin, don't worry, I will help you investigate clearly even if I resign. Do you have any doubts in your heart?"
I didn't treat Zhang Danqing as an outsider, so I said casually: "I suspect it was done by someone I know. Brother Danqing, please stop worrying about me. It will cause you to lose your job. I feel bad. Wait until I am discharged from the hospital." I’ll call you and I’ll see you then.”
After making a phone call with Zhang Danqing, I saw missed calls from Xu Yifan, Wang Huining, Kitty and others, so I sent a reply through the SMS group to say that they were safe.
When I opened the bathroom door and went out, I saw Luo Xiangdong passing by the door. I was startled and couldn't help but take a breath.
Luo Xiangdong looked at me and said, "Is the fight over?"
I asked: "When did you come in?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Just now."
"Where are Brother Zheng and the others?"
"gone."
It really comes and goes in a hurry. I was walking to the bedside with my cell phone in hand, and Luo Xiangdong's voice came from behind me. He asked, "Has Zhang Danqing been fired?"
"Ah?" I turned back and looked at Luo Xiangdong. Luo Xiangdong was sitting on the sofa with an ice pack in his hand and applying it to his face.
After being stunned for a moment, I replied to him: "He just said he resigned. He should have resigned by himself."
"Why did you resign?"
I looked at the expression on Luo Xiangdong's face, but seeing that his expression was the same, I asked without answering, "Have you watched the video?"
Luo Xiangdong delayed for two seconds, and then said: "I saw it. It's just that when I came back, the online video had been blocked, but there was an anonymous video sent in my email, for fear that I would miss it."
Hearing this, I was frightened. I didn't know whether I was angry or frightened.
Luo Xiangdong looked at me without changing his expression and continued the previous topic: "You haven't said why Zhang Danqing resigned."
My head was a bit numb, so I had to tell the truth: "There are many reporters staying in nightclubs, and he also wants to avoid those people."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Wasn't he in Liangcheng before? Why did he come to Yecheng as a group?"
I said, "Zhang Xinwei moved her parents to Binhai. It's too cold in the Northeast and the construction site can't start, so Brother Danqing came to Night City to find a job."
"oh."
I said so much, but Luo Xiangdong just said "oh" briefly. I looked at him and asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Luo Xiangdong looked at me and replied, "Nothing. I wonder why he had to come all the way to Night City to find a job."
Women are very sensitive to such topics, and I am one of the most sensitive types. After Luo Xiangdong finished speaking, I immediately said: "You don't have to doubt that there is anything between us. He didn't even tell me when he came to Night City. We happened to meet him in the nightclub that night."
Luo Xiangdong said: "What are you in a hurry? I'm just wondering."
I said, "You used to wonder about the relationship between us. Now that the video came out, do you have doubts?"
Luo Xiangdong saw that I was a little anxious, so he softened his expression and said loudly: "Zijin, at this time we have to be consistent with the outside world and don't quarrel among ourselves, okay?"
The anger I had just risen was suddenly extinguished. I breathed a sigh of relief and said out loud: "I didn't expect it to be so small, I was afraid you would misunderstand."
Luo Xiangdong held an ice pack on his face with one hand and waved me over with the other.
I walked to the sofa and he took my hand and sat next to him.
Seeing that I looked uneasy, Luo Xiangdong said: "Do you know why I never have a small belly?"
I was silent, and Luo Xiangdong said: "Because I know what kind of person you are. Besides, how can I not be better than Zhang Danqing? Between me and him, everyone will choose me, right?"
I glanced at him and said with a flat mouth, "Don't pressure people with money."
Luo Xiangdong raised his eyebrows and said, "You just think I'm richer than him?"
I said, "Look at what you said, it seems like Brother Danqing can't compare to you in anything."
Luo Xiangdong asked: "Then tell me, what is it about him that is better than me?"
I blurted out: "We have known each other longer than you, and he dared to stand up for me and go to the police station." After a pause, I added: "Of course, that happened when I was a kid."
Luo Xiangdong said exactly the same thing to my mother, don't transfer your childhood feelings to adults. Now that we have grown up, we have passed the age where we can go out of our way to protect our friends.
