Chapter 50 Let Her Go, I Beg You
Lin Zhou missed!
Zhang Shuai, holding Tian Xin, had already fallen to the sidewalk!
"Are you looking for death? Don't you want to live?" A man in the car stuck his head out and cursed!
Lin Zhou hurried over and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The man drove away cursing!
Zhang Shuai lifted Tian Xin up and held her in his arms, hugging her tightly. He was almost scared to death!
"Let me go, let me go!..." Tian Xin struggled and slapped Zhang Shuai!
"Tian Xin! Tian Xin!"
Lin Zhou ran over and tried to wake her up!
"Boss, look at me! It's me! Not Liu Bo!"
Tian Xin was still not conscious and kept crying!
"Boss! Look at me! I am Zhang Shuai!" Zhang Shuai held Tian Xin with both hands and yelled!
This sound shocked Tian Xin!
She opened her eyes wide in fear, staring at Zhang Shuai, and murmured, "Zhang Shuai!"
When Zhang Shuai heard this, he sat down on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief!
Lin Zhou took Tian Xin from Zhang Shuai, picked her up and walked back!
He was trembling all over and his legs were so weak that he couldn't walk. After taking only a few steps, he had to stop to rest, gasping for breath!
At that moment, both of them risked their lives to save Tian Xin! But he missed, he failed to protect Tian Xin! He almost let her die in front of him!
Lin Zhou's mind was filled with strong self-blame, and he wanted to punch himself!
He squatted down and hugged Tian Xin tightly in his arms. Then he closed his eyes and two strings of tears poured down!
There had never been a moment that frightened him as it did now!
Not when my parents divorced!
Not even when I had nightmares about being abused by my stepmother!
Only at this moment, he was extremely scared!
Tian Xin lay motionless in his arms, her eyes as calm as dead water.
Zhang Shuai adjusted his mood and came over. Seeing Lin Zhou hugging Tian Xin, he seemed to realize something!
He tried to take Tian Xin from Lin Zhou's arms, but was pushed away by Lin Zhou!
"Lin Zhou, let her go!"
Lin Zhou didn't let go, and he would never let go even if he died!
"Do you like her?" Zhang Shuai asked.
Lin Zhou didn't answer and continued to hug Tian Xin tightly!
Zhang Shuai gritted his teeth and grabbed Lin Zhou: "I'm asking you if you like her?"
"Yes! What's wrong?" Lin Zhou roared with red eyes.
Zhang Shuai looked at Lin Zhou's red eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment!
He let go of Lin Zhou, stood up and walked back alone. After two steps, he seemed to remember something and turned back!
He threw the car keys to Lin Zhou and walked towards the road alone!
Lin Zhou picked up Tian Xin, walked quickly to the car, gently laid her flat on the back seat, and drove out of the parking lot!
Zhang Shuai stopped a taxi at the intersection. Lin Zhou stopped the car on the side of the road, got out, grabbed Zhang Shuai and stuffed the car into the driver's seat!
"What are you doing?" Zhang Shuai pushed Lin Zhou away.
"Drive!" Lin Zhou ignored him, opened the back door and got in!
Zhang Shuai hesitated for a second, got in, closed the door, started the car and drove towards the ancient city.
"Why do we want to go to the ancient city?" Zhang Shuai asked.
“…”Lin Zhou did not answer!
After getting in the car, Tian Xin fell into a deep sleep again!
Lin Zhou picked her up and held her tightly in his arms, not letting go for a moment!
After the car drove into the ancient city, it stopped in front of a mental hospital!
"Why do you want to come to the hospital?" Zhang Shuai asked.
"examine!"
"She can't be stimulated anymore! Let her go!" Zhang Shuai opened the car door and wanted to take Tian Xin away!
"Who is Liu Bo?" Lin Zhou held Tian Xin tightly.
"Why are you asking this? This has nothing to do with you! Let her go, I want to take her away!"
"I won't let her go. Answer me, who is Liu Bo?"
"A technician in the factory." said Zhang Shuai.
"What did he do to Tian Xin? Where is he now?"
"I have no idea!"
"How could you not know?" Lin Zhou asked.
"He only worked at the factory for a month before the boss reported him for gambling and arrested him. I haven't seen him since!"
"A month?"
"Just one month!" said Zhang Shuai.
"Have the two of you had any conflict in this month?"
"have!"
"What?"
"On the fifth day after he arrived, he pulled the boss and I beat him up!" said Zhang Shuai.
"What else?"
“Gone!”
"No more?"
"No, he was arrested later! He was fired and I haven't seen him since!"
"Has Tian Xin ever shown any abnormality before?" Lin Zhou asked.
“…” Zhang Shuai hesitated. He didn’t want to talk about what happened last time.
"say!"
"have."
"when?"
"More than half a year ago, around the beginning of April. That day, the eldest daughter was sitting alone in an abandoned yard, shivering from the cold. Then she fainted. When she woke up, she was just like before, crying and shouting!"
"What did she yell?"
"What's the point of asking these questions? What else is there to do besides irritating her? If it weren't for..." Zhang Shuai was so emotional that he couldn't say anything more! He didn't dare to recall what had happened just now!
"What did she shout?" Lin Zhou asked again.
"It was pretty much the same as before, just 'Don't hit her,' 'She's bleeding,' 'Liu Bo,' 'She's pregnant!' Liu Bo had just arrived at the factory that day, and he was there when the boss woke up."
As soon as the eldest woke up and saw him, he started crying and making a fuss like crazy. But I still can't figure it out. That was the first time they met, so why did the eldest get so excited when he saw him?
"The first time? You mean she got so emotional, crying and making a fuss the first time she saw Liu Bo?"
"Yes, at first I thought Liu Bo had bullied the boss before and wanted to punish him, so I secretly asked others about what happened before Liu Bo came to the factory. Later I found out that that day was indeed the first time they met."
Lin Zhou looked at Tian Xin who was sleeping in his arms, feeling distressed and confused: Tian Xin, who is this Liu Bo? What did he do to you?
"Let her go and let me take her back!" Zhang Shuai reached out his hand again to hug Tian Xin, but was rejected by Lin Zhou!
"What on earth are you going to do?" Zhang Shuai roared.
"I want to find out what happened to her."
"I won't let you take her to the hospital. Let her go. I want to take her away!"
"Take her away? Is that how you take care of her?"
"It's none of your business how I take care of her! Just let go!"
“No!”
"What do you want?"
"Post-traumatic stress disorder," said Lin Zhou.
"What?"
"She is in this state because she must have suffered severe stimulation or psychological trauma before. This trauma is inseparable from Liu Bo, or in other words, this trauma was caused by Liu Bo alone. If no intervention is made, and something like today happens again in the future, if no one is by her side, have you thought about the consequences?" Lin Zhou said.
"Impossible! Liu Bo left a long time ago. There's no way they could have contact."
"Then how do you explain what happened today? Her condition is unpredictable. Nightmares, seeing Liu Bo, or thoughts of hurting her will all trigger her. Can you guarantee that you will stay in her sight?"
"This won't happen again. I'll protect her. You don't need to worry about her! Let her go!"
“No!”
"I beg you, don't go to the hospital and don't let her get upset anymore! Okay?" Zhang Shuai said.
…
Lin Zhou was in great pain. He rubbed his brows, sighed, and asked Zhang Shuai, "Where is this Liu Bo's home? How old is he now?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Answer me!"
"It seems to be in a village near our town. I don't know exactly where. He should be 25 years old now!"
"What's the name of your factory?"
"Xiaowan Village Clinker Factory!"
Lin Zhou didn't say anything else. He took out his cell phone and made a call:
"Hey, help me find someone!"
"My name is Liu Bo."
"I worked for a month at the clinker factory in Xiaowan Village, Huayuan County, in April this year."
"Around 25 years old!"
"ASAP!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhou picked up Tian Xin and prepared to get out of the car to go to the hospital!
Zhang Shuai stopped him!
The two people were deadlocked at the door, neither of them giving way!
Just when she was getting anxious, Tian Xin's cell phone rang!
