The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine: Chapter 88 guilty
Before the plane took off, Xie Shi'an made two more phone calls to Qiao Yuchu, but there was still no answer. She bit her lip and thought for a moment, then made a third call to Cheng Zhen.
"Sorry, the person you are calling is powered off."
A cold mechanical voice came from the receiver.
Jian Changnian saw that her expression was not quite right.
"What's wrong?"
Xie Shi'an looked at the phone.
"Orange Juice has been back for two days, and there is no news at all."
Cheng Zhen is not a person who can hide things in his heart, and if there is any trouble, he will definitely push him for a long time.
He didn't contact him for two days, and his phone was turned off. This incident itself is very abnormal.
For some reason, Xie Shi'an was very flustered.
When she was about to make a fourth call, the flight attendant came over.
"Hi ma'am, our plane is about to take off, please turn off electronic devices or switch to airplane mode."
Xie Shi'an had no choice but to put down the phone.
Jane often wanted to comfort her.
"What time is it? Maybe they are all asleep. Besides, we will arrive in Jiangcheng tomorrow morning. We can see you when we get back."
The plane soared into the sky with a huge roar, retracted its landing gear, and gradually sank into the deep night.
Xie Shi'an nodded.
"I hope so."
***
When they set off to return to Jiangcheng, Yin Jiayi and Jin Nanzhi also returned to the hotel. She had just parked the car, and Jin Nanzhi pulled her sleeve. Yin Jiayi turned around and was wrapped around her neck. /kiss.
Yin Jiayi embraced her with one hand, and unbuckled her seat belt with the other. After exchanging a long breath with someone, the corners of her eyes were red.
Jin Nanzhi is not much better.
The four eyes met, and the atmosphere heated up, which was self-evident.
"Get out of the car and go back to your room."
With a low voice, Yin Jiayi got out of the car first and opened the door for her.
Along the way, the hands of the two tightly clasped together seemed a little anxious, but in fact, it was not their fault. They separated for a few days after they were in love, and they had to pretend not to know each other in front of others, even though they had agreed in advance, but Both sides felt somewhat awkward.
Once inside, Yin Jiayi locked the door behind her.
She didn't even bother to turn on the light.
Jin Nanzhi stumbled and bumped into the wall lamp, and the whole room suddenly lit up. She lay on her neck and smiled lowly.
"Yin Jiayi, you are not dignified at all."
She picked him up and walked towards the bed.
"Yeah, I also think, how can this happen? It's too out of character for me, so I want to punish the culprit who makes me not dignified at all."
Jin Nanzhi struggled a little.
"Yin Jiayi, I haven't showered yet..."
She turned around on tiptoe with the man in her arms, and walked towards the bathroom.
"Will you wash together? Save time."
"Yin—"
Jin Nanzhi's complaining voice was blocked in his lips and teeth before he finished speaking. Not long after, the shower was turned on.
The hot water left sinuous curves on the glass door.
Jin Nanzhi supported the bathtub with one hand, and couldn't see her expression. This feeling of having nowhere to turn to made her feel a little flustered, and she was choked up and shouted her name in an out of tune voice.
"Yin...Yin Jiayi..."
Yin Jiayi grabbed the hand she was waving in mid-air in vain, leaned over and hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear.
"I'm...I'm...Nanzhi...I...I love you."
Jin Nanzhi's hanging heart was completely relieved.
The waves beat against her body one after another.
Her whole body seemed to be submerged by the tide.
Yin Jiayi turned her head and gently kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The waves hit the beach again.
Jin Nanzhi suddenly tensed his toes.
The whole person sobbed and fell into her arms.
Yin Jiayi didn't leave in a hurry, but patiently, giving more comfort, until the girl was completely relaxed, she carried her into the bathtub filled with hot water again.
From the bathroom to the sofa and then to the bed, even though his physical strength was better than that of ordinary people, Jin Nanzhi was a little bit terrified. As soon as his head touched the pillow, he immediately wanted to fall asleep and fell into a daze. After drying her hair, she lay down and hugged her, gently turned off the bedside lamp, kissed her forehead and said.
"Good night, Nan Zhi."
Jin Nanzhi woke up thirsty in the middle of the night. I don't know if it was because her body lost too much water. Her throat was burning. She barely opened her eyes and stared in a daze.
"Yin Jiayi, I want to drink water."
Yin Jiayi hadn't fallen asleep at first, but when she heard the sound, she got up immediately, got out of bed and poured her a glass of warm water, and half hugged her in her arms, feeding her to drink carefully.
After drinking half a glass of water in one breath, Jin Nanzhi felt better, and after realizing it, he recovered and looked at her.
"Aren't you asleep yet?"
Yin Jiayi put down the water glass, hugged her tightly, and said in a low voice.
"I can't bear to close my eyes, I want to see you more, after the game, you should go back to Korea..."
With a smile on his lips, Jin Nanzhi pinched her face.
"Yin Jiayi, are you stupid? There are still two months before the opening of the Olympic Games. I want to stay in Beijing to continue my studies."
Only then did Yin Jiayi come to her senses, her face blushed, and she almost forgot that she was still an international student at Peking University.
She turned around in embarrassment, hugging the quilt.
"Ah sleep, sleep, I must be talking in my sleep."
Jin Nanzhi rubbed against her, grabbing her shoulder.
"Others are pregnant and stupid for three years. What's the matter with you? Your IQ also plummets when you fall in love."
"Jin, Nan, Zhi."
Yin Jiayi was not angry, she turned around and looked at her with a dangerous look in her eyes.
"Okay, okay, I don't want to leave you either, but don't you want to go back to the national team for training?"
Jin Nanzhi was afraid that she would make a fuss again, and he didn't have the energy to deal with her anymore, so he took the initiative to go forward and kissed the corner of her lips to comfort her, smiling with crooked eyebrows and shining eyes.
Yin Jiayi hugged her and kissed her back.
"I asked Coach Wan for leave and said that I would go home and rest for a while. When will you go back to class?"
Jin Nanzhi thought for a while.
"Well... the counselor said that he must come back next week at the latest, and the final exam is due."
Yin Jiayi pinched her nose, pretending to sigh.
"Hey, go to school and win the world championship at the same time, what kind of top life script is this."
Jin Nanzhi patted her hand away.
"If you didn't have the opportunity to study at Peking University, it would be very difficult to apply to join the Beijing team. Don't you know who I am here for?"
With a smile on the corner of Yin Jiayi's lips, she grabbed her hand and wrapped it around her waist, with a slight apology in her eyes.
"It's because I realized my intentions too late. I will not let you be wronged in the future. During this period of time, both of us are free, so I rented a car and drove you back to Hangzhou, okay?"
Jin Nanzhi withdrew his hand back.
"You... you want to... take me home?"
Seeing her expression, Yin Jiayi seemed a little frightened, so she hugged her and touched her head.
"I just think that since we can't disclose it to the public, at least we should tell our family members, so that you can rest assured. If you are afraid, I will say that you will bring my teammates back to play."
She gave all the choices to herself, and she was really gentle and respected her ideas.
Jin Nanzhi's eyes became hot, and he picked up her clothes and sniffed.
"Aren't you afraid that your parents will object?"
"It may be a little difficult, but I will try my best to fight for it. Moreover, I want you to know me well, so that you can rest assured of me, and I also want you to know that I love you, which is a lifetime commitment."
Jin Nanzhi laughed through tears, and hugged her into her arms, his heart blooming softly throughout the spring.
"I...I'll go home with you...but...not as a girlfriend...I'm not ready yet..."
"Okay, whatever you say is what you say."
Yin Jiayi kissed her forehead.
Jin Nanzhi raised his head and looked at her with bright eyes.
In fact, there are not many things that really belong to her in this life. Money, status and status are all given by her parents. Only badminton is one, and Yin Jiayi is another.
She only has these two things, which she likes from the bottom of her heart.
"Yin Jiayi, then it's settled, you are not allowed to leave me."
"Won't."
"If I don't like you anymore, I will take the initiative to break up with you, but you can't break up with me."
Yin Jiayi kissed her on the face and said softly.
"I will give you a sense of freshness, and I won't let you leave me so easily."
Jin Nanzhi also raised his head, his face flushed slightly, but he kissed her boldly.
"If you dare to tell me to break up, I will never talk to you again for the rest of my life."
Yin Jiayi stretched out her little finger.
"Hook."
"childish."
The person who talked childishly, still stretched out his hand.
The fingers of the two hands were intertwined and held tightly together.
At that time, Yin Jiayi felt that if she loved Jin Nanzhi and Jin Nanzhi loved her, they would be together forever. Only life and death could separate them. Later, she realized that forever is not a measure of time. for a moment.
***
There was no meal on the night flight, only some fruit yogurt was given out. When the plane landed, it was just dawn, and Jian Changnian was hungry, so the group decided to eat something before returning to the training base.
"Three bowls of beef noodles, thank you."
Xie Shi'an ordered a good meal and returned to his seat. The wall-mounted TV in the dining room finished showing the flight information and began to play the morning news.
She just took a casual glance and knocked over the water glass on the table.
"Our station learned that recently, Cheng Zhen, an athlete who won gold medals in the men's 400-meter freestyle and 4x200-meter relay in the National Swimming League, was arrested by the Jiangcheng People's Procuratorate for intentional homicide."
Jian Changnian also opened her mouth wide in surprise, and rubbed her eyes as if she didn't see clearly.
Although the TV station gave Cheng Zhen's face a special treatment, Xie Shi'an recognized him at a glance. No wonder he didn't answer his phone calls. It turned out that something really happened.
"The case is still under investigation..."
The hostess' mouth was still opening and closing, Xie Shi'an couldn't listen anymore, turned around and left with her bag.
Yan Xinyuan and Jian Changnian glanced at each other, and followed suit.
"Hey, Shi'an, wait for us!"
Xie Shi'an turned his head, the corners of his eyes were a little red.
"Impossible! How could Orange Juice kill someone! He can't even trample an ant to death...I have to find out!"
When the waiter came out with the prepared beef noodles, there was no one in the seat. He scratched his head, a little puzzled.
"Hey, the money has been paid, where is the person?"
Xie Shi'an reached out to stop a taxi.
"Master, Jiangcheng Detention Center."
All the way she was silent a little scary.
Jian Changnian wanted to open her mouth to speak several times, but swallowed it all back.
She also felt in her heart that it was impossible for Cheng Zhen to kill someone, but if it was on the news, it was probably true.
Feeling so anxious, the two arrived at the gate of the detention center.
Yan Xinyuan went to knock on the door.
The prison guard came out.
"Who? Documents."
"We are Cheng Zhen's friends. Is he being held here now? Can we go in and see him?"
Jian Changnian said eagerly.
"No, the case is under investigation and no one is allowed to meet."
The prison guards refused their visit, turned around and stood on the sentry box again.
This also confirmed from the side that Cheng Zhen was indeed temporarily detained here for the crime of intentional homicide.
Xie Shi'an gritted his teeth, turned around and left.
Jian Changnian chased after her.
"Where are you going?"
After getting into the car, Xie Shi'an reported the address of Cheng Zhen's home to the driver.
Upon hearing this, the driver saw that they had gotten into the car from the detention center, and immediately looked at them through the rearview mirror and said.
"Why are you going there? There was a murder in that place a few days ago. A young guy beat someone to death with a baseball bat. I heard he was a national champion."
Jian Changnian's heart sank, and she took a cautious look at Xie Shi'an.
"Then...do you know what it is?"
The driver is driving the car.
"I don't know about that. It's the police's job to investigate the cause. I just ran away and took a taxi."
Xie Shi'an put on the earphones to listen to the music again, with the corners of his lips tightly pursed, staring at the passing street scene outside the window without saying a word.
That's what she does when she's restless.
The closer she got to the villa area, the more anxious she became. When she reached the door, she pushed open the car door and almost ran into it.
"Hey, I haven't paid you yet."
Jian Changnian turned around, dropped some change, and ran over.
"Shi'an, Shi'an, slow down, you still have injuries on your body, so you can't exercise vigorously!"
Gritting his teeth, Xie Shi'an rushed to the door of Cheng Zhen's house in one breath, and immediately froze in place. Weeds were overgrown, and some garbage and scrapped old furniture were scattered in the yard.
A van was parked at the gate of the yard.
Another worker carried the TV set out from inside and loaded it into the car, and Cheng's mother followed closely behind.
"When I bought this TV, it cost five or six thousand."
"Five hundred, up to five hundred, whether you like it or not."
Mother Cheng hesitated for a moment, but took the money from him and smiled.
"Sell it, I'll sell it, there are still refrigerators and washing machines in the house, and you should remove the air conditioner as well."
She was almost unable to recognize the plainly dressed, gray-haired, haggard middle-aged woman in front of her.
Xie Shi'an stepped forward and tentatively called out.
"Cheng... Aunt Cheng?"
Mother Cheng turned around and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was her. After a while, her eyes turned red again when she thought that her son was still in the detention center.
"It's Shi'an, look at the mess in this house, so I won't invite you to sit in."
"Auntie, Cheng Zhen..."
Xie Shi'an had just mentioned half a sentence, and the tears that Cheng's mother was suppressing in her eyes slipped down all of a sudden, and her body was shaking.
She helped him to the bench beside him.
"Auntie, I just went to the detention center, and they didn't let me go in to visit. You have to tell me what happened, so that I can find a way to help Cheng Zhen."
In Cheng's mother's intermittent crying, Xie Shi'an finally figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing, when she heard her say it.
"I have reached a consensus with Cheng Zhen's father. If we can hide it from him every day, we will tell him to train outside and not come back. I don't know why. He said he wants to play outside for a few more days. That night But when he arrived in Jiangcheng, he even went to his father's industrial park and witnessed his father..."
Cheng's mother covered her mouth, sobbing uncontrollably.
"I haven't been rescued... He's only eighteen years old... Even if he comes back a day late, just one day..."
Sitting here, Xie Shi'an felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and a sense of guilt swept her from head to toe.
It was her, it was her call that urged Cheng Zhen to come back.
If he's not that kind, don't consider her a friend.
If he could come back one day later, he wouldn't have to be so stimulated to kill someone by mistake.
Xie Shi'an stayed here without a face and continued to face his family.
She stood up in a daze, and just took two steps before she fell down straight and woke up again in the hospital.
Xie Shi'an stared at the snow-white ceiling and sat up. Seeing that she was awake, Jian Changnian also stood up.
"Are you awake? Don't move around, the doctor said you have low blood sugar..."
Xie Shi'an supported his head with his hand, and the infusion tube was still attached to the back of his hand.
"Oh, where is Coach Yan?"
"Coach Yan is going back to the training base to put his luggage first, let me watch you here, he will pick us up later."
Xie Shi'an pulled out the needle himself, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
"I can't lie here, I'm going to find Yuchu."
She had lost one friend and could not lose another.
"She doesn't answer the phone, where are you going to find her!" Jian Changnian stomped her feet, and chased after her to stop her.
Xie Shi'an stumbled and threw the man away.
"I...go home! She always wants to go home, you...don't follow me...go back to the training base!"
By the time she got up from the ground and chased out of the hospital gate, Xie Shi'an had already boarded a taxi, and the door closed right in front of her.
"Master, drive."
She calmly gave the address.
When the car started to leave, Jian Changnian took a step back in despair, eyes full of grief.
Xie Shi'an put on the headphones, turned up the music to the maximum, forced himself not to think about her anymore, and said in his heart.
"I'm sorry, there are some things I want to face by myself."
***
Today is a rare fine weather. Qiao Yu woke up early and accompanied her mother to the court hearing. Not long after she sat down, she saw the woman walking in with the child and sitting in the auditorium.
Qiao's mother followed her gaze, and Qiao Yuchu was afraid that she would be stimulated, so she held her hand tightly.
"mom…"
Qiao's mother came back to her senses, forced a smile, and clapped her hands.
"Don't worry, I must divorce today's marriage."
Not long after, the trial officially began. Both parties wanted to divorce, and mediation was reached in court, and the judge made a final decision.
"After the mediation of this court, the two parties voluntarily divorced. The plaintiff Qiao Zishan paid one million yuan to the defendant Li Dongmei as compensation, and transferred a house under his name to the defendant Li Dongmei and the legitimate daughter Qiao Yuchu. The plaintiff Qiao Zishan will bear all the litigation costs. .”
When Qiao Yu first heard this, a relieved smile finally appeared on his face.
Mother Qiao stood up, with a blank face, her eyes were empty and empty, and there was no sign of happiness, anger or sadness.
Qiao Yuchu helped her walk out step by step.
At that time, she didn't know what it means to be sad than to die.
"Mom, it can be regarded as leaving. Now you are free. Let's go home and pack up. We will take you on a trip in two days."
"If you don't want to go home to live again, we'll sell the house and go to the provincial capital or the next city to buy a new one, away from this right and wrong place."
"As for the compensation, you don't have to worry. Jin has already talked with his lawyer friend. If we can't reach an agreement, we will sue. We must not take advantage of this greedy villain."
No matter what she said or how she arranged, Mother Qiao always said one word: "Okay."
Qiao Yuchu was about to say something else when the phone in her bag rang. She lowered her head and turned it out of the bag. She took a look and saw that it was Xie Shi'an calling.
Just when she was hesitating whether to pick it up, Mother Qiao let go of her hand, and there were steps in front of her. She walked unconsciously, and then she stepped on the air and fell down the high steps.
The crowd screamed.
Qiao Yuchu looked up and saw that the phone had dropped on the ground.
"mom!!"
With red eyes, she shouted hoarsely, and rushed over.
Xie Shi'an came home and knocked on the door next door first, but no one answered, and the room was quiet, probably not at home.
She opened the door of her house again, put the key on the porch, sat down on the sofa, and called Qiao Yuchu, but there was still no answer, and if she called again, the line was busy.
The young man bit his lips, forget it, just wait for her to come back at home, anyway, she is so close, she can hear any movement next door.
She waited from afternoon until dusk and then nightfall.
Fate turns its gears bit by bit.
Xie Shi'an sat on the sofa and fell asleep without knowing it. After waking up, he went to the balcony and waited for a while to see if she came back.
The lights in the distant buildings went out one by one.
Late at night.
She went back to the house and knocked on the door next door again, but there was still no answer. Xie Shi'an felt a little lost, hugged her knees, and sat down on the stairs.
***
In the hospital, Jin Shunqi was still negotiating compensation with the victim's family, but he rushed over when he heard the news.
The lights in the emergency room went out.
The two went up to meet them.
"Doctor, how is my mother?"
The doctor took off his mask and hesitated to speak.
"An open fracture at this age is probably..."
Qiao Yuchu burst into tears.
"I'm afraid what it is, you should explain it clearly, so that we can have a bottom line in our hearts!"
"Then let me just say it straight. We have already nailed her with a steel plate and fixed it. Even if she can recover and leave the hospital, the damage is irreversible. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to recover to the point where she used to walk freely in the future."
"What... that means..."
Qiao Yuchu's eyes darkened, and she was about to fall backwards, but Jin Shunqi helped her steady.
"Yuchu, Yuchu, are you okay!"
Seeing her unacceptable appearance, the doctor also said.
"Your boyfriend is also a doctor, you can ask him."
Qiao Yuchu cast her eyes on Jin Shunqi for help, but Jin Shunqi avoided her eyes and nodded his chin with difficulty.
Her tears fell silently.
After sending her back to the ward, Jin Shunqi sat down beside the bed, put his arms around her shoulders, and said solemnly.
"Don't be afraid. The older a person is, the weaker their bones become. It is indeed difficult to recover from a fall, but it does not mean that they will never be able to stand up again. As long as we take good care of her body and actively take care of her Participating in rehabilitation training, there is still a great hope of getting out of wheelchairs, and we can also go to the United States, where the orthopedic hospital is much more advanced."
Qiao Yuchu hugged him, tears streaming down her cheeks, regretful.
"It was me...I didn't take good care of my mother...that made her fall down the steps...If it wasn't for me to answer that call..."
Jin Shunqi patted her on the back repeatedly to comfort her.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, this is just an accident, you don't want it, Yuchu, I think Auntie has to stay in the hospital for a while, I'm watching her here, you go back and clean her up Bring some change of clothes here."
