Chapter 91
Hmm?
Hmm? Hmm
? Hmm?
Tan Li looked at the figure getting closer and closer, and tilted her head.
The reed bushes that were taller than a person were blown all over the place by the wind pressure generated by the helicopter propellers, and hit the person who came.
Ying Heng walked through the reed bushes and walked towards Tan Li step by step.
When he walked in front of Tan Li, the propeller of the helicopter slowly stopped, and the half-bent reeds slowly straightened their waists, and the reed flowers floated in the air, and the world suddenly became very quiet.
Tan Li's eyes slowly moved downwards and fell on Ying Heng's upright legs.
"Your leg..."
Ying Heng suddenly raised his hand and wiped it gently under her eyes. The slightly rough but warm touch stopped Tan Li from saying what she wanted to say.
Ying Heng gently rubbed the bloodstain under Tan Li's eyes. Seeing that it couldn't be wiped clean by hand, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it carefully.
"It was removed and replaced with a prosthesis." Ying Heng said calmly, "It's useless to keep a leg that can't stand up."
While he was speaking, Tan Li's face had been wiped clean by him.
"Okay." Ying Heng put away the handkerchief and looked at Tan Li carefully from head to toe, inch by inch, "Are you injured?"
Tan Li shook her head.
Her eyes were still on Ying Heng's legs.
Ying Heng saw her staring at her legs and asked softly, "Are you curious about prosthetics?"
Tan Li shook her head again.
She discovered it when Ying Heng came over.
Prosthetics are different from original legs, and the points of force when walking are somewhat different. However...
even if the original legs can no longer walk, not everyone has the courage to completely remove them and replace them with prosthetics, not to mention...
if the original legs can't walk, they just have no feeling. If they are replaced with prosthetics, they may have to live in pain forever due to various reasons.
Tan Li didn't expect that Ying Heng, who had been mourning for a long time, would have the courage to make such a decision.
It has only been three months since they parted in the mountain village. Ying Heng can now walk freely. I don't know how much suffering he has suffered secretly.
She raised her hand and patted Ying Heng on the shoulder, "He's a ruthless man."
She gave him a thumbs up.
Ying Heng couldn't help laughing.
He lowered his eyes and whispered, "I don't want to be as powerless as last time." He
watched Tan Li being taken away helplessly. He couldn't do anything. Even if he wanted to offer himself as a hostage, he would be rejected. Ying Heng hated himself for being so incompetent.
Tan Li looked at him in confusion.
Ying Heng didn't explain much. He turned his head and looked at the silent stone house, "Is there anything else I need to take care of?"
In the past three months, Ying Heng has been in charge of the aftermath of Tan Li's beating.
At that time, after the group destroyed the first base, Tan Li called Ying Heng. On the one hand, she wanted to report that she was safe, and on the other hand, she needed Ying Heng
's help to do some finishing work. For example, the placement of victims, such as the docking work with the police.
First of all, Tan Li is not good at this kind of thing.
Secondly, she also wanted to break down the small bases hidden all over the country as soon as possible. Even if it was just one second earlier, it would be good to get those kidnapped girls out of the situation of fear and panic.
If she stayed alone to deal with the tedious things such as calling the police and taking notes, it would be a waste of talent.
So Tan Li wanted to find someone else to help.
As for why she found Ying Heng...
it can be said that she didn't want to worry the Tan family, or she didn't want Tong Jing to be exposed to these dark sides, and it can also be said that...
she believed in Ying Heng.
She would feel most at ease leaving these shady things, things that border on the gray area, and things that might cause a lot of minor troubles to Ying Heng.
Ying Heng did not let her down.
According to the route given by Tan Li, Ying Heng would send people to arrange the local personnel. Once Tan Li had cleared the scene, Ying Heng's people would enter the scene to collect data, comfort the victims, deal with the police afterwards, and package all the things that happened to Tan Li in this series of anti-gang and anti-evil events that were beyond human imagination with a story without any suspicious points.
After his aftermath, Tan Li was completely cleared of the whole incident.
No one would come to Tan Li secretly because of any extraordinary thing about her.
At the same time, Ying Heng was also very good at placing the victims.
First of all, a professional medical team was arranged. Whether it was physical or mental, there were dedicated people to take care of them, and follow-up treatment was guaranteed.
At the same time, they were helped to find their families so that they could return to a normal living environment as soon as possible.
If the original family was not conducive to physical and mental health, or even some girls were sold by their families, Ying Heng also provided corresponding jobs, which would give them the confidence to break away from their natural misfortune and regain the courage to pursue the future.
Tan Li was not good at these trivial matters, and with Ying Heng's support, she was naturally relieved.
During these three months, Tan Li had been in contact with Ying Heng, but this guy never told her that he had changed his prosthetic limbs. His calm and steady voice was the only one she could hear on the radio. But now that she thought about it, there were many times when he was still suffering from the pain of postoperative recovery and reconstruction. He
is a ruthless man.
Tan Li couldn't help but praise him again in her heart.
When they met again three months later, the deathly aura that had been lingering on Ying Heng's body was swept away, and he began to radiate vitality, the kind of vitality that would definitely come out even if it was pressed by a stone.
It must be said that it was a little dazzling.
"Tan Li?" Seeing Tan Li in a daze, Ying Heng raised his hand and waved it in front of her.
"Huh?" Tan Li finally came to her senses.
Ying Heng reluctantly repeated the question just now, "I say, is there anything else here that needs my attention?"
Tan Li thought for a moment and said, "No."
In this no-man's land, life and death are determined by fate.
The scarred man and his men took advantage of the chaos here to escape the punishment of the law. At the same time, if they died here, no one would be held responsible.
"Let's go home." Tan Li stretched her lazy waist, "I'm tired."
Hearing her say this, Ying Heng had no interest in exploring the situation in the stone house, and took Tan Li's hand, "I'll take you home."
Tan Li:...???
She stared blankly at the big hand covering hers, her mind full of questions.
Ying Heng had already taken a step forward, but was forcibly pulled back by Tan Li.
Tan Li raised their clasped hands and asked in confusion, "Why are you pulling me? I can walk by myself."
She is such a grown-up, but she still has to be pulled by others like a child. She has no face!
Thinking about it, Tan Li was about to shake off Ying Heng's hand.
Unexpectedly, Ying Heng's reaction speed was amazing.
Before Tan Li could shake off, he spoke first, "I want to hold you, is it not okay?"
When he said this, he tilted his head slightly, blinked his eyes, and drooped his ears, like a pitiful big dog, or the kind of big dog that was abandoned on the roadside and got a little rain.
Tan Li:...Ah?
No, what's wrong!!
Tan Li stared at Ying Heng, who seemed to be robbed by someone, with wide eyes, and her CPU was about to burn out.
Ying Heng, the one who felt uncomfortable if he didn't act weird all day, the one who was the most stubborn, the one who was either sad or emo every day, how did he become like this? !
"Ying Heng, if you're kidnapped, just blink!" Tan Li suspected that Ying Heng was either out of his mind or kidnapped by aliens.
Ying Heng was amused by her words, and a clear and low laugh escaped from his throat. He slightly tightened the grip on Tan Li's hand and chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm not kidnapped."
"I'm..." He paused, and seeing Tan Li looking at him curiously, waiting for the next sentence, his smile deepened, "I'll tell you later."
Tan Li: ???
Why wait until later? Since you can't say it now, why don't you just not bring up this topic in the first place?
Ying Heng saw that she was looking at him with accusatory eyes, and the smile in her eyes was getting deeper and deeper. He stood side by side with Tan Li, "Let's go home."
Tan Li was thinking whether to use force to force Ying Heng to be obedient, but she had just been exercising for three months, and now she just wanted to be paralyzed. Besides, she was so old, bullying a young man like Ying Heng was nothing, she still had to save face.
Tan Li was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't realize that Ying Heng was pulling her forward, and she actually followed him like this, and didn't shake off Ying Heng's hand.
When she came to her senses, the two had already boarded the helicopter.
Ying Heng put on the headphones for her, and held Tan Li's hand again, as if he had some kind of problem that made him emotionally unstable and crazy if he didn't hold Tan Li's hand.
Tan Li:...
numb.
Forget it.
Just hold it, young people have some hobbies, she shouldn't be too harsh.
Besides, Ying Heng's hands were dry and warm, so it wasn't that uncomfortable.
**
Tan's door.
Wu Xiu was waiting anxiously.
She stared at the end of the driveway without blinking, "Should we go out and wait? Didn't Xiao Heng say he would bring Dali back today? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
While saying this, Wu Xiu trotted forward two steps.
Tan Pei followed her and held her in his arms. "Don't worry, honey. I just called to ask. We are already on the road outside the community. It will take at most 10 minutes."
"Not even 10 minutes yet?" Wu Xiu stood on tiptoe, trying to see as far as possible. "Why do I feel like a long time has passed?"
Tan Pei soothed her. "How about I call and ask again?"
"Yeah! Ask quickly!" Wu Xiu grabbed Tan Pei's arm, but her eyes did not leave the road. After she finished speaking, she shook her head again, "Forget it, they are driving, let's not keep talking on the phone, it will be bad if it affects them."
Wu Xiu convinced herself, but she didn't dare to blink as she looked at the end of the road.
"Hey!" Wu Xiu subconsciously grabbed Tan Pei's arm and pointed to the distance, "Look! Is there a car coming!"
Sure enough, there was a black commercial vehicle slowly driving in the distance.
Wu Xiu's heartbeat quickened with joy. She took a few steps forward, thought something was wrong, and took a few steps back, stretching her neck and waiting for the car to approach.
"Squeak--"
Because of the brakes, there was a slight friction sound between the tires and the ground.
The door of the business car opened, and a figure jumped out from it -
"Mom! Dad!" Tan Xinman looked around excitedly after getting out of the car, "Where's my sister? Is my sister back?"
Wu Xiu was a little disappointed, and Tan Pei replied, "Not yet, she said she's almost here."
As soon as the voice fell, the sound of another car driving by was heard.
Wu Xiu quickly raised her head, and Tan Xinman also turned around quickly -
Tan Li got out of the car and saw three stones looking for daughters and sisters standing at the door of her house. She waved, "Hi~"
The next second, she was hugged by two people on the left and right.
