Chapter 228: The surname Zhao? I remember it.

Qin Yian knew that the man in front of him was looking for her.

"Please sit here. I'm injured and it's inconvenient for me to move. Please pour some tea yourself."

Qin Yian pointed to the empty bed and the kettle and cup on the bedside cabinet and said.

"Thank you, no need to bother. I won't drink the tea. I have something to tell you."

The young man behind the old comrade was very discerning and brought a bench to Qin Yian's bed. Then he put the maltose and apple in his hand on the small cabinet at the head of the bed. After doing all this, he looked at the old man and waited for instructions. The old comrade nodded to him and sat on the bench.

Qin Yian, who had been silently observing the two of them, saw the young man consciously walk towards the door.

She immediately shouted to the back and reminded him, "

Don't close the door, comrade. I'm afraid of the dark. Thank you." The young man glanced at the old comrade, and the old man nodded again. The young man did not close the door, but pulled it a little closer, half-opening it. He stood at the door with a firm look in his eyes, guarding the front.

Treat the ward as their own home? All right!

Qin Yian retracted his gaze and turned his eyes to the old man, without taking the initiative to speak.

The old comrade lowered his voice and spoke first: "Comrade Qin, my name is Zhao Min. I'm sorry to bother you. I came here today just to talk to you about something."

The surname Zhao? This awakened Qin Yian's memory. She took a close look at the old man in front of her. With the beard and a slightly bitter face, he looked more like the person she thought of.

After not seeing each other for a few months, there have been quite a lot of changes.

Qin Yian immediately knew what this person was here for, and he said it directly with a smile.

"I know who you are, Zhao Yuxin's uncle, the old man who rented my house. He was very hostile to me at first and firmly believed that I was a liar and only believed in Zhao Yuxin's representative, right? Am I right? Are you looking for me today to apologize for Zhao Yuxin killing me?"

The more Qin Yian said with a smile, the more serious the old man's face became.

Looking at this old man this time, he didn't have the hostility and targeting of last time. It was like a different person. He held up a momentum and airs, and his spirit and thoughts seemed to be upright. At least his emotions would not be exposed as directly as before.

Zhao Min was silent for a while, sighed, and his stern face relaxed. His attitude softened and became a little kinder. He showed an expression of regret that they could not make each other better. He looked at Qin Yi sincerely and bowed his head to apologize.

"Comrade Qin, I am really sorry for you. I apologize to you for the previous house incident. I also apologize to you on behalf of Zhao Yuxin. I know that it was Zhao Yuxin's fault last time and this time. She is sorry for you. I apologize to you on her behalf."

The old man's eyes were pleading, sad, sad, and a little apologetic, but it had nothing to do with her. She didn't care and didn't want to go along with him.

Qin Yian nodded at him and politely stretched out his hand to the door to make a gesture of invitation. "I've apologized. I'm a patient and need to rest. You can leave, Mr. Zhao. She has been punished by law. I'm very grateful to our country, the government, and the public security comrades. Because of them, those who did bad things have been punished as they should be. I can live safely and securely under the red flag and grow up in the spring breeze. I'm not a person who likes to dwell on the past, so you don't have to care. I'm not sad."

She pretended not to know that Mr. Zhao didn't come here just to apologize today, and said this to him very sincerely.

The words that Zhao Min wanted to say were stuck in his stomach. He couldn't refute these words. His words were red and professional. He felt a sense of frustration and powerlessness. He opened his mouth and closed it again. He stood up and walked out with a breath in his stomach.

"Goodbye, old comrade!"

Qin Yian shouted quickly. Just as he finished speaking, the other party took a step and stopped.

Zhao Min thought of the help he had received, and reluctantly stepped back to sit on the chair. He sighed again. This time, his old age was fully revealed, and his eyes were distant, as if he was reminiscing. Without waiting for Qin Yian to speak, the old man told his story.

"I lost my current identity because of some things and was sent to the brigade of Zhao Yuxin and his team. I encountered many things. It was Zhao Yuxin's mother who helped me. Her mother is a kind person. She was willing to show me a little kindness even to someone like me who might affect her own life safety.

Thinking back to the time, my relatives put ads in the newspapers, some disowned me, but only her mother, a distant relative who was not related to me at all, not only did not stay away from me, but also took good care of me in the countryside. Once I was overworked and had a fever. If her mother hadn't secretly sent me a pill, I might have died in that shed. Her mother is my lifesaver."

"Later, Zhao Yuxin was quite nice to me, and she sent me food from time to time. That's why I didn't believe you in that house and was very hostile to you, so I wanted to repay her mother's kindness."

Zhao Min's eyes were red, and his eyes were full of apology.

Qin Yian didn't buy it and was indifferent to what he said. Don't try to impress her with these words, and don't care about her business.

Qin Yian looked at him and shrugged: "He is a good person, and then what? Does it have anything to do with me? I am in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital and go home."

Zhao Min choked. He didn't expect the other party to be so stubborn and tough. Yes, he could feel it when they had a brief contact because of the house before. He forgot.

He took a deep breath and said directly:

"The first reason I came here today is to apologize to you, and the second is to think about making a deal with you. I know that Zhao Yuxin's incident this time is very unfair to you, and I'm willing to sentence you to death."

Zhao Min was a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a few seconds, he looked at Qin Yian pleadingly and whispered:

"But Zhao Yuxin's mother saved my life, and I can't just watch her only daughter die. This case can win the forgiveness of you, the victim, and the final sentence can be lighter. You should say a few good words for Zhao Yuxin and forgive her so that she doesn't end up with the death penalty. As long as she's alive, it's fine. A life sentence won't have much impact on you. Spare her life and let her do labor reform on a farm for the rest of her life, and do something to atone for her sins. I owe you a favor, and you can come to me to redeem it anytime."

"Ha!"

Qin Yian had a sarcastic smile on his face, and he laughed out loud at the old man.

"My Lord, do you think I am really that ignorant? Let's not talk about the results for now. The difference between life imprisonment and the death penalty is worlds apart. Especially with someone like you who cares about her backing her up, I think you know that yourself."

To put it bluntly, life imprisonment has the possibility of being unlimited, and there is also a system of sentence reduction and parole.

Who knows if Zhao Yuxin's life sentence will become a fixed-term sentence in a few years, and then a fixed-term sentence will become 13 years, and then a five-year sentence, a two-year sentence, or even a zero sentence.

With this old man behind the scenes, who would dare to imagine...
