Chapter 212
Even if he didn't believe it just now, now with so many people surrounding him and almost everyone describing the entire process of the case back to back, Zhong Siqi completely believed it.
The young man looked proud and sympathetic: "Zhong Siqi, you are the top student in our class. I told you everything, but you just didn't believe it. Now that everyone says so, you should finally believe it, right?"
Zhong Siqi didn't have time to pay attention to him, but rushed home with bags of local specialties.
Only then did he realize that a bright yellow cordon had been put up and some familiar people, including Sister Jin Gui and Sister Qian, had gathered at his doorstep.
A group of people were whispering to each other, shaking their heads and sighing from time to time, and some were wiping away tears.
Zhong Siqi felt a chill in his heart.
When Jingui saw him, she exclaimed in surprise, "Siqi!"
"Siqi is fine, he's back."
"Sister Zhong Qiao can rest assured."
Mrs. Qian was also very disappointed: "You were ignorant before, but why did you come back so late this time? Do you know what your parents have suffered?"
"Mrs. Qian." Zhong Siqi called out dryly, his eyes red. "Is what they said outside true? Are my parents really injured? Have they gone to the hospital?"
Mrs. Qian sighed, "You can only blame your ex-brother-in-law for this. He's really mean. Even after the divorce, he's still looking for trouble with your sister."
Zhong Siqi could no longer hear the rest of the words. His mind was full of his parents' injuries. After dropping his things, Zhong Siqi rode his bicycle to the hospital without saying a word.
On the way, he really wanted to slap himself a few times.
He chose to go out at this time instead of earlier or later. He didn't know how scared his parents and sister would be. If he were an adult man at home, maybe Xu Shaojun, who bullies the weak and fears the strong, would restrain himself.
"Mom and Dad, you must wait for me."
Zhong Siqi muttered to himself, stepped on his bicycle, and rushed to the hospital like a Hot Wheels.
On the other side, Zhong Qiao sat on the floor of the hospital corridor, remaining silent.
Although separated by a door, she felt that every minute and every second was torture.
My parents are inside and we don’t know what’s going on. I also don’t know where Siqi is or if anything happened to her. My mind is in a mess.
"Sister!" A familiar voice attracted Zhong Qiao.
A light flashed in Zhong Qiao's eyes.
Think of others.
It was Siqi's voice, for sure.
"Si Qi!" Zhong Qiao stood up trembling, but his legs were numb from squatting for too long.
Zhong Siqi took her over: "Sister, how are mom and dad?"
Zhong Qiao's face was pale: "I'm not sure yet, but Dad's wound is very big, I really..."
She didn't dare say anything more, she couldn't accept this happening.
"Sister, you still have me." Zhong Siqi said, "I'm sorry, I'm late. I shouldn't have gone out, and I shouldn't have not told you."
"Sister, you must be very scared."
Zhong Qiao said, "As long as he's alright, let's not talk too much for now."
She didn't want to think about those things now.
She was originally thinking about how to teach Zhong Siqi a lesson, but when she saw her parents lying injured on the ground, all she could think of was one sentence - as long as they are alive.
Yes, what is more important than being alive?
"Is the patient's family here?"
The door was pushed open and the doctor in a blue coat took off his mask.
Zhong Qiao and Zhong Siqi hurried forward: "Yes, we are all here."
The doctor said, "The patient is out of danger now, but he still needs to rest. He is still in a coma. His family needs to pay close attention to him tonight. If he still doesn't wake up, it will be dangerous."
Zhong Qiao felt as if his breath was being strangled and said, "Okay, thank you, doctor."
They can only wait.
As the doctor said this, Mr. Zhong was pushed out of the ward. His face was pale and he looked nothing like his usual spirited look.
The whole person suddenly aged by ten years.
"Dad." Zhong Siqi felt so guilty and followed him into the arranged ward.
"Come here to pay." A nurse reminded.
Zhong Qiao hummed numbly and followed her. After paying all the fees, she sat on a stool at the entrance of the hospital corridor in a daze.
The cost was not very high, but what the doctor had just said made her not know what to do.
These incidents happened one after another, catching her off guard.
"Qiao Qiao."
Someone came up to her.
Zhong Qiao looked up and saw Ji Hebai.
"Why are you here?" Her voice was terribly hoarse.
Ji Hebai said with some distress: "I have heard about my parents' affairs."
"I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you."
"How are Mom and Dad doing now?"
Zhong Qiao sighed: "Dad's condition is not very good, but Mom is fine and is out of danger."
Ji Hebai nodded, his eyes instantly turning cold: "Xu Shaojun can't stay here to cause trouble for you again and again, and now he's even hurting my parents directly."
"If we allow him to continue to act recklessly, even if this time is a fluke, what about next time?"
"Zhong Qiao." He lowered his voice, "If you want, I can keep him inside forever."
He broke into a house and robbed someone, and with his abilities, Xu Shaojun could indeed be locked up for life.
Zhong Qiao was silent for a moment and said, "Okay."
The first time she used Ji Hebai's ability, she had already betrayed her principles, but this time, she was unwilling to endure it anymore. Whenever she thought of the tragic situation of her parents lying in a pool of blood, she was in great pain.
So, Xu Shaojun? Maybe it's time to teach him a lesson.
"Qiao Qiao." After receiving her consent, Ji Hebai's voice became even colder. "I will make him suffer worse than death. He must pay back a hundredfold or a thousandfold for what his parents have suffered."

"Let me out!" Xu Shaojun, with a bruised face and nose, was almost going crazy. "I said, I'm not a murderer, how can you lock me up?"
"Let me out now."
"I'm a college student!"
"Shut up." The police officer in charge of the interrogation said impatiently, "Is this all you keep saying? When are you going to answer my questions?"
"First, why did you break into the house and rob? Second, why did you hurt people? Third, how do you prove that you didn't do these things?"
Xu Shaojun was about to collapse: "Why should I prove it? I said it all, I just came to borrow money, and when I opened the door, I found them lying on the ground. I have no idea who the murderer is."
"Even if you ask me 100 or 1,000 times, I will still give the same answer."
The two policemen exchanged glances, and the thinner one shouted angrily, "You still dare to lie? Then let me ask you, if you didn't come to borrow money during the day, why did you have to choose that time? Do you have an accomplice?"
"Xu Shaojun, if you tell the truth, we won't have to resort to real weapons. You'll be the one who gets embarrassed. Even if you say you regret it, it's too late. We'll give you one last chance. Do you want to confess everything?"
