When I was drifting off to sleep, my cell phone rang and I couldn't open my eyes. He answered the phone directly: "Hello?"
"Is this Miss Liang Zijin Liang?"
"Well, who are you?"
"We are the Night City Police Headquarters. Do you know Zhang Danqing?"
My heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly lost all sleep. Opening his eyes, he saw Luo Xiangdong lying next to him. He hasn't woken up yet. I quickly opened the quilt and got out of bed and went outside to pick him up.
Holding the phone, I whispered: "I know him. What's wrong with him?"
"Zhang Danqing is suspected of kidnapping and intimidation. There are currently all witnesses and physical evidence. The victim accuses you of being the mastermind behind the incident. So please come to the police station immediately and assist us in the investigation."
I:"… "
I couldn't say a word because my mind was in a daze.
After hanging up the phone, I didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He quickly turned around and went back to the room to call Luo Xiangdong.
"Eastward, eastward. Get up."
"Hmm..." Luo Xiangdong snorted. I can't even open my eyes.
I turned pale with anxiety. Shaking Luo Xiangdong's arm, he said repeatedly: "Xiangdong, get up. Please help me. Brother Danqing is at the police station..."
Luo Xiangdong was finally shaken awake by me. He opened his sleepy eyes slightly and looked at me and said, "What?"
I was extremely frightened and said with a dull expression: "Brother Danqing is at the police station. Please help me get him out. Please, he is here to help me."
The sleepiness on Luo Xiangdong's face gradually diminished. He looked at me and said, "How did he get into the situation?"
At this point, I couldn't hide it, so I had to whisper: "He... in order to force Rong Xin to tell the truth, he kidnapped Rong Xin and took some pictures."
The more I spoke, the quieter my voice became because I knew how big of a deal this was.
I deliberately didn't say that I was naked and my upper body was leaning on the bed. I was very anxious, but he was not in the least anxious.
I could see his displeasure, but I still had to bite the bullet and said, "Rong Xin suspects that I was the one who instigated it."
Luo Xiangdong looked at me without blinking and said, "Isn't it?"
No
Even though I had been worried for a long time, when Luo Xiangdong really asked this question, I still frowned in recognition.
I said, "It's not me."
Luo Xiangdong said solemnly: "Liang Zijin, what is your relationship with Zhang Danqing? He dared to commit such serious crimes as kidnapping and intimidation for you?"
There was a hole in my heart, my heart sank, but I couldn't see the bottom. This kind of endless fear is much scarier than being broken into pieces.
You don't need to look to know how ugly my face is. I stared back at Luo Xiangdong. I didn't want to explain when I spoke. I just said: "I didn't instigate it. If you don't believe it, I can't help it."
Luo Xiangdong looked away and said nothing.
The room was obviously very warm, but I felt that the air was filled with cold elements.
I stood by the bed, and he sat on the head of the bed. I looked at him for more than half a minute, and after making sure that he would not take the initiative to speak, I bit the bullet and asked aloud: "I'm going to the police station now, you go ?"
Luo Xiangdong didn't even look at me. He just opened his lips and said with anger or disgust. "He is now charged with kidnapping. What do you want me to go to the police station for? Do you want me to take the blame for him?"
After that, he added: "Since you never wanted to tell me, it seems that you have thought of a way out, so go and rescue me."
Luo Xiangdong forced out the tears I had been holding back with just two words. I took a deep breath, turned around and walked out without saying a word. The moment the door closed, tears blurred my vision, but I didn't know whether I was more sad or regretful.
…
"Zi Jin, Zi Jin..."
My heart ached with pain, and after a long while I slowly opened my eyes, and a face that gradually became clearer came into my sight.
Luo Xiangdong supported his body with his right arm and shook my shoulder with his left hand.
Seeing me opening my eyes, he frowned slightly and said, "What did you dream about? Why are you crying like this?"
Dream
I reached out and touched my face. My eyes were moist, and the fear and grievance in my heart was so obvious. It turned out that it was just a dream, but this dream was so real that it still scared me when I opened my eyes.
I fell into Luo Xiangdong's arms almost instantly. I hugged him tightly and buried my face in his neck.
Luo Xiangdong hugged me back, patted my back, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, it's okay. Did you dream about ghosts again?"
I didn’t dream about ghosts, but I had ghosts in my heart. For a person with poor psychological quality like me, it is really hard to survive a night.
Whether this dream is a harbinger of reality or a warning to me. Anyway, I can't hold on any longer.
Holding Luo Xiangdong tightly, I said tremblingly: "Xiangdong, I have something to hide from you."
Luo Xiangdong patted my back, not too surprised, and just followed my words and said, "What are you hiding?"
I said: "Last night at the club, I went out not to call my mother, but to call Zhang Danqing. He tied up Rong Xin and forced her to take videos and photos, so Rong Xin behaved well. Tell the truth. Xiangdong, I just dreamed that Brother Danqing was arrested by the police. I was afraid. Please save him. If he is really arrested by the police, I beg you to save him. He is not a bad person, he is just Want to help me..."
I put my arms through Luo Xiangdong's armpits and held on to him desperately, as if I was holding on to the last straw.
Luo Xiangdong was also stunned when he heard this, but the stunned time did not last long. After a few seconds, he looked at me over my shoulder and said, "When did it happen?"
I whispered: "It should be these two days."
Luo Xiangdong had a sullen face, but he didn't lose his temper with me like in his dream. He just frowned slightly and said after a while: "You called Zhang Danqing last night. What did he say? Those pictures of Rong Xin Where’s the stuff?”
I said: "Rong Xin asked for videos and photos from me in the hotel bathroom yesterday. She thought I asked someone to do it. I talked to Brother Danqing last night and he said he would deal with the aftermath, so I knew it was him. I really I didn’t know he would do such a thing, otherwise I would have stopped him.”
Zhang Danqing wouldn't let me tell Luo Xiangdong. The reason why I instinctively wanted to hide it was because I was afraid that Luo Xiangdong would take action against Zhang Danqing, and I was even more afraid that he would misunderstand the relationship between me and Zhang Danqing.
But the more I thought about it, the more scared I became. After all, this was no longer just a trick or trick, but a blatant crime and violation of law. I had to inform Luo Xiangdong in advance, otherwise Zhang Danqing would never betray me when the Dong Chuang incident happened, but he would really be finished.
He has just been released from prison, and there is no way I would let him go back to jail for me.
Luo Xiangdong was silent for more than ten seconds. I was worried that the scene in my dream would reappear, so I instinctively held his hand. Holding back my fear and sourness, I said aloud: "Xiangdong, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have tried to hide it. You. You can be angry with me or scold me. I beg you to help Zhang Danqing. I don’t want to see him go to jail..."
After all, I am a worthless person, and I will not slam the door and leave like in my dream, because I know that I have no ability or ability to help Zhang Danqing.
Luo Xiangdong saw me kneeling in front of him, looking pitiful. He couldn't help but glance at me and said, "Now you know you are afraid? You still want to hide such a big thing from me, and you have to wait until you see the coffin before you leave." tears?"
I shook my head. I didn't need to see the coffin. I couldn't find the right tone to cry now.
When Luo Xiangdong saw me twitching, he stretched out his hand to wipe my face and whispered: "Okay, I haven't talked to you yet, why are you crying?"
I held back tears, but the tears could not be recovered in a short while. I twitched and said, "I just dreamed that Brother Danqing was arrested by the police."
Luo Xiangdong frowned slightly and said, "Now I pray to Rong Xin to resolve it privately and never go to the police."
I asked, "What if Rong Xin calls the police?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Fortunately, Zhang Danqing is not stupid. He finally caught a witness. As long as the waiter is still in Night City, Rong Xin will have something in our hands. I don't think she wants to take legal channels. Otherwise, she will get herself involved."
I said, "Will Rong Xin tell your dad and her family?"
Luo Xiangdong pondered for a long time, and then said: "I can't say for sure now, but after she gets the photos and videos, she will definitely let me know."
I held my tongue and said nothing.
Luo Xiangdong glared at me angrily, and then said, "Look what kind of friends you have made? Desperados?"
I stretched out my hand to wipe my tears, knowing that I was in the wrong, so I remained silent.
Luo Xiangdong stared at me for a few seconds, raised his hand to wipe my tears, then softened his voice and said, "Okay, don't feel bad. I don't blame you for this."
I choked and said, "You really don't blame me?" Didn't he suspect that I asked Zhang Danqing to do it
Luo Xiangdong saw what I was thinking, and he said disgustedly: "You are so courageous, you can do anything just by having a nightmare, how can you do big things?"
I was angry and aggrieved, but speechless.
Yes, you asked me to fight and curse, but you asked me to murder, set fire to, and rob homes. I'm sorry, but I don't have the intention or the courage.
I told Luo Xiangdong everything, and Luo Xiangdong didn't suspect that Zhang Danqing and I had any secret dealings at all. He could only say a few words to me, saying he thought I had hid it from him all night.
The two of us sat in the back room to discuss countermeasures. After all, the call from the police was just a dream. There was no movement from either Zhang Danqing or Rong Xin.
Luo Xiangdong finally said: "As long as I know about this, there is no need to take any action. The key is to see what Rong Xin does next."
I said anxiously: "Xiangdong, if something happens, you must find a way to protect Zhang Danqing. The Zhang family only has one son, he can't go in again."
Luo Xiangdong glanced at me sideways and said quietly: "He is really willing to risk his life for you. Doesn't he know that once kidnapping is convicted, the minimum sentence is ten years?"
