Chapter 252 Marriage
The medicine and silver needles slightly relieved Qin Yi's pain.
But he soon discovered that the heat waves were coming one after another, sweeping in with greater force, impacting his sanity wave after wave.
He only felt that his body was like a piece of iron roasted over fire, tight and hard, unable to withstand the slightest disturbance.
Su Tong pricked all the acupuncture points for detoxification, but the effect was minimal.
Qin Yi didn't dare to look at Su Tong, and couldn't stand her hands moving around on her body. Although she was very careful not to touch him, but, but being too close was not good...
At this moment, he can't stand any provocation...
He had to try his best to control himself, because he felt that he might explode at any time and press the girl next to him...
His reason was struggling against his desire, and it was gradually losing...
He had to grit his teeth and yell at Su Tong:
"Get out—you're here! I can't control myself!"
Su Tong retracted all the needles, wiped the sweat from his head, and looked at Qin Yi, who was bending his body like a bow in extreme pain and forbearance. Blood was flowing out of the corners of his mouth because he bit his teeth so hard, and his fingers had torn the bed sheets, which were faintly bluish-white.
She tried all the methods she could, but none of them worked. In other words, this Hehuan powder wasn't really a poison, and her detoxification pills didn't work either...
She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and looked at him intently and asked:
"Qin Yi! Are you single?
———————
In an empty house outside the small building.
Zhou Jin looked at Lin Li seriously and asked the same question:
"Boss, are you single?"
Lin Li hesitated.
Zhou Jin punched him on the shoulder and growled:
"It's already this late, and you're still silent! Didn't you hear what Thorin said? There's no cure for that Hehuan Powder, only... only..."
"well--"
Zhou Jin couldn't continue speaking, so he squatted down and hugged his head.
Lin Li glanced at the small building from a distance. There were guards there, so they couldn't get too close. Suo Lin said that Qin Yi and the others were not in danger, but the poison had to be removed...
They can only wait here and can't help at all.
Lin Li's heart was in a mess. He sighed and finally said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Captain—he has a child marriage."
"Didn't you say that you're not engaged and don't have a partner?" Zhou Jin jumped up immediately.
"Besides, what kind of world is this? Who still cares about child marriage?"
Lin Li glared at him and said, "Listen to what I have to say first. Look, you don't listen carefully to what I say!"
Zhou Jin glared back at him unhappily, then squatted down again, but his ears were still perked up.
Lin Li continued:
“The captain’s grandfather, Mr. Qin, held a high position before he retired.
About twenty years ago, Mr. Qin was framed and imprisoned. His good friend offended the underworld in order to save him, and his whole family was affected. His only son disappeared, and his pregnant daughter-in-law was forced to flee. When Mr. Qin was rescued, he only had time to see his good friend for the last time. Before his friend left, the thing he missed the most was his grandson who had been lost before he was born because of him..."
"Mr. Qin was heartbroken and helpless. The captain was already four years old at that time. In order to reassure his friend, the old man immediately decided to arrange a marriage for the captain. If it was a boy, he and the captain would be brothers with different surnames. If it was a girl, she would marry into the Qin family and become the granddaughter-in-law. In short, he wanted to protect this child for his friend!"
"Later, Mr. Qin kept searching for the whereabouts of his friend's descendants. It was not until last year that he got the news that the couple was forced to leave Beijing. After several twists and turns, they were reunited seven years later and settled in Shanghai. The daughter-in-law who was pregnant gave birth to a daughter who is now nineteen years old."
Zhou Jin looked disappointed and said, "So, because of Mr. Qin, the boss had to fulfill the promise of the older generation and marry that girl, is that right?"
Lin Li shook his head and said, "I heard the first part of the story from the captain, and I saw the second part myself."
"Last year, the boss took several members of our special forces to Beijing for a three-month special training. Old Master Qin told him that the girl's family happened to move back to Beijing from Shanghai, and he hoped that he could go home and finalize the marriage that he had promised to his friend."
"The captain is very grateful to the family for saving the old man, but he cannot accept this binding marriage. There are many ways to repay a favor or express gratitude, and marriage is not necessary."
Zhou Jin nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Yes! I think what the boss said is right!"
Lin Li said: "So the eldest son didn't go back that time, but the old man didn't blame him. He called him later and told him that the family was very reasonable and believed that the affairs of the older generation should not be bound by the marriage of the younger generation. It was unfair to the children. He also said that since the child didn't want to, the marriage was cancelled and the two families could just get along as relatives."
Zhou Jin shouted, "Give up? It doesn't count? Isn't this great?"
Lin Li's expression turned serious, and he said, "The unexpected happened on the day we left Beijing. That day, the girl was on a business trip and passed by our base. After she came to Beijing, she was well taken care of by the Qin family. Thinking that the relationship between the two families was there, the engagement was invalid, but relatives still had to interact with each other, so she called the base and asked the captain to meet her, which was also considered a recognition of relationship."
"The signalman answered the girl's call and promised her that he would pass on the message. However, our military region happened to have a mission, so we ended the special training a week early and left Beijing."
"The signalman learned that the captain had left, but when he returned, he could no longer contact the girl. The girl went to the park to wait at the agreed time, and waited for the entire afternoon."
Zhou Jin looked at Lin Li's expression and knew something was wrong. He asked cautiously:
"B-and then?"
"The little girl waited until dark, but the captain didn't show up, and instead, she was targeted by a group of hooligans..."
Lin Li frowned and said after a while:
"As soon as we got back to the military region, our leader notified the captain to return to Beijing immediately, saying, 'Something has happened.'"
Zhou Jin swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty, "Then, was that little girl really..."
"I drove back with the captain. When we arrived at the hospital, the little girl had tried to commit suicide several times! I heard that the attending doctor was in tears! The captain walked to the door of the ward and heard crying, but he didn't go in. He turned around and went to the police station. He didn't sleep for a whole day and night, and took the police to arrest all the gangsters!"
Zhou Jin didn't say anything else and didn't ask any more questions.
Lin Li continued, "Who would have thought that after the girl heard about this, she asked her mother to tell the captain that she had thought it through and would not commit suicide again. She would live well and told the captain not to have any psychological burden."
"Later, we were assigned to Henan Province to investigate a smuggling case. Before leaving Beijing, I heard the captain's mother talking to him on the phone, saying that as a man, he should take the responsibility he should take. The captain said he knew it."
After Lin Li finished speaking, he didn't say anything else for a long while.
