Chapter 235 Dilemma

Lin Qiu's face turned as pale as paper in an instant, and he seemed to be unstable and about to fall.

"What's wrong? What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?"

Wang Xiuren helped her sit on the sofa, and his forehead was covered with sweat in anxiety.

Lin Qiu shook his head woodenly.

"It was fine just now, how come it suddenly became like this?" Wang Xiuren tried hard to recall what had just happened.

It soon became clear that something was wrong on May 12th.

He just couldn't figure out what was wrong with this day.

It was neither a family member's birthday nor a deceased relative's memorial day, so why would she have such a reaction?

His brows were furrowed so tightly that they were almost knotted. He grabbed her hand and pressed the base of her thumb.

After a while, Lin Qiu turned his head to look at Wang Xiuren, his eyes were empty and his voice was as light as a feather.

"Let me ask you a question. If, I mean if, you knew that a major disaster would happen in a place in a few days and many people would die, would you try to save their lives?"

Hearing this question, Wang Xiuren frowned and looked at his wife suspiciously. What question was she asking? How could anyone predict a disaster in advance?

He thought about it and answered, "I definitely want to save people, but it's not something I can do just by thinking about it."

His ability alone is very limited. Even if he knew what was going to happen in the future, how could he prove to others that what he said was true? Even your parents and relatives won’t believe you, let alone other people?

People might even think you are spreading rumors or that you just came out of a mental hospital.

"But a lot of people will really die." Lin Qiu murmured.

The sound was barely audible.

Although she was not an eyewitness to the Wisconsin earthquake, the natural disaster was indeed too tragic.

Collapsed buildings, ruined cities, terrified survivors, and a string of cold numbers representing the victims...

Just from watching some reports on TV, she could feel the helplessness and despair of living beings in the face of natural disasters.

Tears couldn't help but flow down, dripping on the carpet, leaving a mark.

Wang Xiuren didn't know what happened to his wife, but seeing her crying, he couldn't help but wipe away her tears with a tissue and comforted her softly: "It's okay, it's okay..."

After crying, Lin Qiu finally calmed down.

Looking at Wang Xiuren's concerned eyes, she thought about it and found an excuse.

"I had a dream today when I was taking a nap at a newsstand. I dreamed that at about 2:00 p.m. on May 12, an earthquake occurred in Weizhou, northern Sichuan, and many people died."

Wang Xiuren was so surprised that he was speechless.

It is normal to dream about dead people.

But dreaming about a specific time and place is a bit scary.

It was difficult for Wang Xiuren to accept it for a while.

"Really, as soon as I heard you say No. 12, this... this dream all came to my mind." Lin Qiu held her hand tightly, his body trembling.

Wang Xiuren unconsciously shook it back, and after a long while, he finally uttered a few words: "Dreams are the opposite."

"But……"

"No buts!"

Wang Xiuren said to her in a stern tone he had never used before: "Don't think about it anymore. This is just a dream. Dreams are always the opposite."

After he finished speaking, he realized that his tone was too strong, so he lowered his voice again, "Our top priority right now is Shanshan's college entrance examination. After she finishes the exam, I will take you two out to relax. I think you have been too tense during this period because of Shanshan's influence."

"Okay, don't think about it, go back to the room and lie down first."

Wang Xiuren picked up Lin Qiu without hesitation, put her on the bed, and lay down on the bed with her.

He waited until her eyes closed and her breathing gradually calmed down before he quietly left.

After Wang Xiuren left, Lin Qiu opened his eyes and tears involuntarily flowed from the corners of his eyes onto the pillow.

At this moment, she hated her own incompetence, hated herself for knowing the impending disaster but being unable to save these lives.

After Wang Xiuren went out, he took a pack of cigarettes from the drawer in the hallway and went downstairs.

I don’t know when it started, but he only bought cigarettes for socializing and rarely smoked himself.

But at this moment, he needed a cigarette to calm himself down.

Wang Xiuren lit the cigarette with some trembling and took a deep puff.

Maybe it was because he hadn't smoked for a long time, he choked like a novice and coughed up tears.

The dream his wife described was so specific that it frightened him.

Considering his wife's unusually accurate vision over the years, Wang Xiuren even thought of the theory of ghosts and gods.

Maybe my wife really has some background?

He didn't suspect that there was anything wrong with Lin Qiu. No one knew what kind of person she was over the years better than him.

But I'm worried that this inexplicable luck of hers will endanger herself.

Wang Xiuren felt that he was a worldly man. He would rather not have these gifts from fate and just hoped that his family would live in peace and safety.

Not far away, under the shade of a tree, there was a group of elderly people with children sitting, and the sound of children babbling could be heard from time to time.

Wang Xiuren looked at it for a long time and remembered that his wife had said that many people would die. He knew that if this really happened, the fate of the children in Wisconsin would be unimaginable.

He squatted down and thought.

He didn't come to his senses until the cigarette burned his fingers.

He put out the cigarette, stood up, threw the butt into the trash can, and walked towards the parking lot with determination.

He first went to an Internet cafe and asked the network administrator to help him look up the phone numbers of various government agencies and schools and kindergartens in Wisconsin, with a puzzled look in his eyes, and then copied them down.

Then I went to the street to buy a phone card.

I found a secluded street corner and called people one by one.

After the call was connected, he quickly informed the other party: "Around 2 p.m. on May 12, a major earthquake will occur in Wisconsin."

Then he hung up without waiting for the other person to reply.

After making the copied call, he simply broke the phone card, threw it into the trash can, and turned away.

He has done what he could.

Now we can only leave it to fate.

He drove around like a headless fly, and finally returned to the Taoyuanju parking lot.

He leaned back in his seat, his heart feeling empty and his mind blank.

"Da Da Da"

Someone is knocking on the car window.

Wang Xiuren rolled down the car window and it turned out to be Ada.

"Aren, what are you doing sitting in the car?" Ada was a little puzzled.

Wang Xiuren wiped his face and said, "I didn't do anything. Why did Brother Adada come here?"

"I came to District 11 to take a look, and I saw your car parked here, and you didn't get out for a long time, so I came to ask." Adago smiled and replied, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Xiaolin?"

Wang Xiuren got out of the car and said, "No, it's something else."

“What went wrong on the construction site?”

"no."

"What's that?" Ada asked curiously.

A-Ren and his wife are in harmony, his daughter is well-behaved, and his career is going smoothly. What other problems could be worth giving him so much of a headache?
