Chapter 178: Staying Together? She Seems to Be Letting Him Down
"So that's what you did for this?"
There was a hint of stubbornness in Liu Zhenguo's eyes.
"My parents had such high expectations of me that my brother sent most of his salary to me."
"If I can't make a name for myself, how can I go back with dignity?"
Shen Qingran frowned and looked at the expression on Liu Zhenguo's face.
His expression suddenly became solemn. "You are just looking for an excuse for your evil deeds. Liu Zhenguo, your brother sacrificed his life for the country and died on the battlefield."
"He is a hero. And you, with the reputation of being the hero's brother, have done petty thefts."
"If you could openly admit that you are a bastard, maybe you could still be saved. Unfortunately, a selfish person will always be a hypocrite."
This is the kind of person Shen Qingran hates the most.
What filial piety, what repaying a favor? Anyone who uses these as a banner to do evil is extremely selfish.
Liu Zhenguo's breathing became a little heavier as he stared at Shen Qingran's extremely beautiful face.
"What do you know!"
What do you know?
Huo Tingxiao's eyes were sharp. He turned around and looked at the few people calmly, "Excuse me, I have something important to say to him alone."
"It was Liu Zhenquan's last words."
Officer Chen nodded, and the others walked out, even considerately closing the door.
Liu Zhenguo looked at Huo Tingxiao, whose face was as cold as ice, and felt a chill on his back for some reason.
Huo Tingxiao's eyes were like sharp blades, piercing directly into Liu Zhenguo's eyes, and he didn't dare to hide anything.
"You think I won't be able to find any clues if you let pig intestines scare them?"
Liu Zhenguo shrank his neck slightly.
Huo Tingxiao clenched his fists, and his finger bones crackled.
Soon, a shrill scream was heard from outside.
Ji Qiubai swung his arms and smiled, "Now is the time to discuss what to eat."
Shen Qingran: ???
After a long time, the door opened and Huo Tingxiao smiled, "I have finished my explanation."
Ji Qiubai glanced at the person who was rolling and curling up on the bed.
Very good, it's a familiar recipe and familiar taste.
Hitting someone doesn't cause any injuries, and crying to death is useless.
Everyone who does the work is good at it.
Huo Tingxiao is particularly good at...interrogating spies.
The reputation of the living king of hell is not earned for nothing.
Chang Xiaoyu looked at Liu Zhenguo, not knowing whether she was despair or disappointment.
He said calmly to Officer Chen, "Comrade Public Security, I don't want to see him anymore."
Shen Qingran turned to Chang Xiaoyu and said, "Professor Gu is fine and will be well soon."
Chang Xiaoyu turned around and paused.
Turning back, a pair of originally gloomy eyes were filled with apology, "I'm sorry."
Shen Qingran was extremely calm. "I will not forgive you, and of course I will not sympathize with you. You clearly had many chances to regret it, Chang Xiaoyu, you are not worth it."
Not worth it.
Not worth it.
Chang Xiaoyu chewed on these three words, and suddenly tears fell.
It's not worth it.
Shen Qingran looked at Chang Xiaoyu being taken away and no longer had any mood to look at Liu Zhenguo.
The wailing sound behind her was like a patient passing through her life.
It's just that the patient's illness is worth curing, but this person is not worth curing.
Once a person’s heart is rotten, there is no hope for salvation.
——
Huo Tingxiao watched her turn and leave, and chased after her.
"I have something else to do, Captain Huo, you go ahead and do your work."
Huo Tingxiao's heart dropped to the ground with a thud.
It broke into pieces.
This silence was even colder than before.
Ji Qiubai could feel the sharp coldness emanating from someone from afar.
Hiding quietly, preparing to escape quietly.
But he didn't expect to be stopped by Huo Tingxiao's cold voice.
Quickly adjust your expression.
"Dr. Shen has just experienced such a terrible thing. Brother Huo, you have to give her some time to recover."
Huo Tingxiao glanced sideways, and was silent for a moment, "Whether Liu Zhenguo can be convicted is up to you."
"Master Ji, this should be okay, right?"
Ji Qiubai gritted his teeth and looked at his face which looked extremely shocked.
"Okay, okay, you can use this trick of wagging your tail like a dragon, but you're going to destroy the bridge after crossing it. From now on, you might as well change your name to Broken Bridge!"
Huo Tingxiao suppressed his expression and walked outside.
He also had to solve a more important problem: Liu Zhenquan's parents didn't know about his sacrifice.
Now that Liu Zhenguo is in this state, I’m afraid there’s no way he can go back.
——
Shen Qingran didn't care about Liu Zhenguo's affairs anymore, but saw Professor Gu at the door the next day.
In just one night, Professor Gu seemed to have aged a lot.
The old man hesitated for a moment and took out a thick envelope.
"Doctor Shen, I know you know the child's family. I'd like to trouble you to pass this on to me."
"It's my Gu family who let them down."
Shen Qingran pursed her lips, what was there to be sorry about?
Professor Gu let out a long sigh.
"Although the child is not right, if Xiaoyu hadn't refused to let him recognize his biological parents, this wouldn't have happened. Just consider it as my atonement for her sin. Thank you for your help."
Shen Qingran inexplicably felt that the money in his hand was a little hot.
I also felt confident that the Liu family would not accept this money.
But he still responded: "Professor Gu, I can help you pass it on once, but I'm not sure whether they will accept it."
Professor Gu's cloudy eyes flashed with helplessness, "Just do your best."
Shen Qingran looked at his back, picked up the bag, and packed up the prescribed medicine and carried it with her.
When we arrived at Liu's house.
What came from inside was a burst of crying.
With red eyes, Qiao Jing hugged the crying woman who collapsed on the ground.
The woman's face was covered with distinct wrinkles, and she looked so old that it was hard to tell her real age.
And a man with the same face was sitting quietly on a low stool smoking a pipe. If you look closely you can see tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Mom, don't cry. Zhenquan is a hero. Let's not cry."
The old lady felt as if her heart was being scraped by a knife.
Huo Tingxiao stood aside, his face extremely serious, his hands and feet extremely tense, you can see his emotions at the moment.
"sister in law......"
Qiao Jing looked back at Shen Qingran and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Girl, you're here."
"Mom, this is Captain Huo's wife."
The country people are simple and honest. The old lady struggled to stand up and entertain the guests even while crying.
Shen Qingran rushed over and supported her arm.
"Aunt, I know nothing I say can offset your pain, but your two grandchildren are still in my sister-in-law's belly, you can't fall down!"
The old lady, who was already extremely sad, covered her mouth with her hands, tears dripping down her wrists.
"My son!"
Then he hugged Qiao Jing and cried loudly.
The old man's eyes also turned red. "Okay, stop crying. The kid died with honor. His grandfather would be proud to see this."
He said as he wiped the corners of his eyes.
“Children are important.”
Shen Qingran knew that such sadness would not go away in a day or two.
Change the subject immediately.
"Sister-in-law, I brought you some medicine. I'll tell you how to take it."
Qiao Jing followed Shen Qingran into the house, and Shen Qingran took out the money that Professor Gu gave her.
"Sister-in-law, I think he has told you about Liu Zhenguo's matter. You can decide the money yourself."
Qiao Jing looked at the stack of money with complicated emotions in her eyes.
Zhenquan suffered and struggled all his life, just wanting his beloved younger brother to be successful.
But in the end, all his efforts were in vain.
If he were still alive, she guaranteed that Zhenquan would be the first person to shoot him.
"Zhenquan is gone, I will help him make a decision."
"Sister, please help me pay back the money. It's Zhenguo's fault. He did it himself. We don't need it."
Shen Qingran didn't hesitate, she had guessed it long ago.
He reached out and put the money back into his bag, then took out another envelope and stuffed it into her hand.
"Sister-in-law, take it. Consider it a token of my appreciation."
Qiao Jing's tears fell down, she didn't want to lose her composure, so she pursed her lips.
Shen Qingran could feel her strong emotions, which were her attachment and love for her lover.
She didn't know how to comfort someone who had lost a loved one.
Too powerless.
Finally, I chose to hug her.
"Sister-in-law, everything will be fine."
Qiao Jing tried hard to smile.
"I'm sorry, sister, don't mind it."
He wiped his eyes and said, "It's not easy to entertain you and Captain Huo today. We can only have a chance next time."
Shen Qingran shook her head, "You're welcome, sister-in-law."
Qiao Jing looked at the people in the yard seriously, "I know you and Captain Huo. I can see that Captain Huo cares about you very much. Sister-in-law has nothing else to say but to wish you two a long and happy life together."
"We must be together in the future. It takes ten years to be able to ride the same boat, and a hundred years to be able to sleep on the same pillow. Sister, be well."
Shen Qingran felt the strength and temperature of Qiao Jing's pat on the back of her hand.
Such sincerity and care are heavy.
However, it seemed that she was going to let her sister-in-law down.
