Chapter 61

Tang Qingqing got the news and rushed to the hospital.

"Sister Qing!"

Wang Heizi, who was anxiously waiting at the door of the emergency room, saw Tang Qingqing and rushed over with tears and snot.

Wang Heizi was beaten so badly that his nose and face were swollen, and his eyes were as red as steamed buns and he could hardly open them.

His left hand was tied with a bandage around his neck and his legs were limping.

Tang Qingqing felt disappointed when she saw him like this:

"Are you okay? How's Brother Yi? What happened?"

Wang Heizi wiped away his tears with his sleeves and cried:

"Brother Yi and I were preparing to rush to the town when we were ambushed! It was all my fault. Brother Yi was seriously injured because of me!"

The college entrance examination was held in the commune, and the commune’s No. 1 Middle School also suspended classes and served as one of the examination sites.

In order to facilitate his business, Zhai Hongyi rented a house in the commune as his residence.

In order not to miss the college entrance examination the next day, he went to the commune a day in advance. Other educated youth and students taking the college entrance examination did the same.

Zhai Hongyi was used to traveling alone, so he did not set out with the main group, but went alone with Wang Heizi.

No one expected that there were seven or eight people lying in ambush along the way. When they saw them, they rushed up and started fighting without saying a word.

Because the incident happened suddenly, a stick as thick as an adult man's wrist hit Wang Heizi's head, but he didn't notice it and stood there motionless.

In order to protect Wang Heizi, Zhai Hongyi pushed him aside, but he was hit hard on the back with a stick, and blood came out from the corner of his mouth.

The stick was meant to kill. If it weren't for Zhai Hongyi, Wang Heizi would have probably met King Yan by now.

This blow caused Zhai Hongyi's fighting power to drop significantly. It was already difficult to defeat the enemy with fewer people, and this made the situation even worse.

The two fought back while looking for an opportunity to escape.

"Those guys were too powerful. We couldn't defeat them at all. We were surrounded and couldn't even run away! If the educated youth preparing for the college entrance examination hadn't happened to pass by and scared those guys away, we would probably be dead by now."

Wang Heizi couldn't help shedding tears when he thought about the feeling of helplessness at that time. He was not only afraid and sad, but more importantly, he was angry at his own incompetence.

If he was a little stronger, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly that he couldn't fight back.

Tang Qingqing was also very angry. The college entrance examination was tomorrow. Who could be so cruel as to do such a brutal thing at such a critical moment? He was trying to beat her to death.

"Don't worry, none of these people will be able to escape!"

The person who notified Tang Qingqing was from the Public Security Bureau. After receiving the alarm, they went out to arrest people.

Wang Heizi remembered all those people and told the police everything.

Seeing Wang Heizi angry, anxious and self-blaming, Tang Qingqing suppressed her anger and said:

"You are also seriously injured. Go to the ward and rest for a while. I will tell you as soon as Brother Yi comes out."

Wang Heizi shook his head: "I want to see Brother Yi out."

Seeing that he insisted, Tang Qingqing did not persuade him anymore and let him sit on the chair at the door to rest.

There were two educated youth standing outside the emergency room, one was Wen Xuelan and the other was Zhang Yabin.

Tang Qingqing walked forward, thanked them, and said:

"You guys should go back and rest first. Don't let it affect your college entrance exam tomorrow. I'm here."

They came up a day in advance, not only to facilitate the college entrance examination tomorrow, but also to come and see the examination room and familiarize themselves with the environment to avoid getting lost tomorrow.

Zhang Yabin hesitated: "Can you do it alone?"

Zhai Hongyi was seriously injured and will definitely need someone to take care of him when he comes out.

"I can do it. If anything happens, I can call the nurse. If that doesn't work, I can find someone to help me in the commune."

This college entrance examination is very important and may change one's fate. Zhang Yabin has not found a place to stay and does not know where his examination room is, so he is inevitably a little nervous.

Now that someone has taken over, I no longer refuse.

"If you have any questions, please come to the guesthouse to find us."

Tang Qingqing nodded and said, "I wish you all the best in the college entrance examination tomorrow."

Wen Xuelan said, "Team Leader, you go back first, I'll go back later."

"Well... okay, Comrade Wen, you should come back early as well. The college entrance examination will be tomorrow."

Zhang Yabin knew that Wen Xuelan and Zhai Hongyi grew up together, and she also knew that Wen Xuelan had a special attitude towards Zhai Hongyi. Even though Zhai Hongyi was cold towards her, she still cared very much about Zhai Hongyi.

Some educated youth felt sorry for her and therefore disliked Zhai Hongyi, thinking that he was a person who did not know what was good for him.

Wen Xuelan would always explain for Zhai Hongyi, saying that he was a person with a cold exterior but a warm heart.

Now that Zhai Hongyi has been injured so badly and is in the emergency room, his life is in danger. It is only natural that people would be worried about leaving.

Zhang Yabin was also very worried about Zhai Hongyi. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely stay, but tomorrow's college entrance examination was too important and he dared not be negligent in the slightest.

After Zhang Yabin left, Wen Xuelan and Tang Qingqing didn't say anything. They both looked anxiously towards the door of the emergency room, very worried about his condition.

The indicator light in the emergency room finally went out, and soon a doctor in a white coat came out.

Tang Qingqing and Wen Xuelan hurried forward to ask about the situation: "Doctor, how is he?"

The doctor took off his mask and said: "He is no longer in danger of death. He has multiple fractures and a ruptured lung. The most troublesome thing is the brain injury. If conditions permit, it is best to go to a better hospital for examination. Our hospital has limited conditions and many tests cannot be performed. It is difficult to judge the specific situation."

At this time, Zhai Hongyi was pushed out, his head was bandaged tightly. If his mother didn't know that the person lying there was him, she wouldn't be able to recognize him even if she came. He was much more miserable than Wang Heizi.

Tang Qingqing felt even more upset when she saw him like this.

A person who had always been so arrogant was beaten into this state. It shows how tragic it was at that time.

If someone hadn't passed by, he might have died.

They had experienced life and death several times and survived each time, but this was the first time they had been injured so badly.

Who is so cruel?

What kind of hatred made them treat Zhai Hongyi so cruelly!

Zhai Hongyi was sent to the ward for care, and Wang Heizi slept in the bed next to him.

Wang Heizi was also in a bad condition. He had been holding on just now, but now that he saw that Zhai Hongyi was fine, he finally lay down to rest and fell asleep in a short while.

After Tang Qingqing settled the two of them, she turned to Wen Xuelan and said:

"Wen Zhiqing, I'm glad you're here. Heizi's family will come over to help soon. The college entrance examination is tomorrow, so you should go back and recuperate first."

Wen Xuelan looked up at her, her eyes full of scrutiny and not very friendly.

Tang Qingqing was surprised and didn't understand how she had offended the other party.

"Please come out for a moment." Wen Xuelan said in a deep voice.

Tang Qingqing didn't understand what was going on, but she followed Wen Xuelan out.

Wen Xuelan walked all the way to the stairwell at the end before stopping.

"Do you have anything to say about this?"

Being asked this question suddenly, Tang Qingqing was unable to react for a moment.

"Wen Zhiqing, what do you mean?"

Wen Xuelan did not answer, but said: "In the middle of this year, Xiaoyi had the opportunity to return to the city, but he did not agree."

Tang Qingqing was slightly stunned. She really didn't know about this. Zhai Hongyi had never mentioned it and there was no news of it in the team.

She didn't understand why Wen Xuelan brought this up, so she didn't say anything and waited for her to finish.

"If he had left at that time, this wouldn't have happened."

This is true, but who can predict the future?

Tang Qingqing didn't like to think about such meaningless assumptions. Things had already happened and there was no point in thinking about them.

Zhai Hongyi did not leave, of course he had his reasons.

Tang Qingqing still didn't say anything. Wen Xuelan was very dissatisfied with her attitude.

"Don't you feel any guilt at all?"

This confused Tang Qingqing, "Wen Zhiqing, what do you mean by this?"

Wen Xuelan looked at Tang Qingqing with unfriendly eyes, which suddenly made Tang Qingqing's brain explode, and she pointed at herself in disbelief.

"You don't think that Brother Yi didn't leave because of me, do you?"

The relationship between the three of them is indeed good, but this is too ridiculous.

Zhai Hongyi has always been uninterested in returning to the city, and this is not the first day everyone has known about it.

Wen Xuelan looked unhappy: "If you hadn't dragged him around to offend people, this wouldn't have happened. Tomorrow is the college entrance examination. Do you know how important it is? His grades have always been very good, he will definitely pass. You have ruined his future!"

"Do you know who attacked him? They were the same people you offended because they protected you."

When Tang Qingqing heard this, her face darkened.

Tang Qingqing solved many theft and arson cases, avoided the loss of people's property, caught the criminals, but also offended many people.

Many relatives of the captured criminals hated Tang Qingqing to the core.

They did not reflect on the fact that their relatives had committed evil deeds that led to their imprisonment, but instead blamed Tang Qingqing for causing their relatives to be arrested.

While Tang Qingqing received many flowers and applause, she was also often secretly pelted with stones and her vegetable leaves rotted.

Before, an old lady rushed over and tried to grab Tang Qingqing's face, but Zhai Hongyi quickly stopped her.

The old lady still didn't give up and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at Tang Qingqing. Fortunately, Tang Qingqing dodged quickly, otherwise she would have been disgusted to death.

The old lady's son stole money and items from the supply and marketing cooperative, but was discovered and arrested by Tang Qingqing. The old lady not only did not think her son had done anything wrong, but instead blamed everything on Tang Qingqing, believing that she had harmed her son.

There are many unreasonable relatives of criminals, and each one is more unreasonable than the other.

Especially since Tang Qingqing was a young girl, he vented his anger on her even more recklessly.

If she hadn't had Zhai Hongyi and Wang Heizi by her side, as these two were extremely fierce in fighting and most people didn't dare to provoke them, she would have been hurt long ago.

Tang Qingqing also understood at that time why her master didn't want her to show her abilities in the beginning.

There are many unreasonable people in this world. If Tang Qingqing wears a police uniform, she can use the power of the country to intimidate others.

Tang Qingqing is just an extra person now, so it is easy for her to attract attention.

As Tang Qingqing's protectors, Zhai Hongyi and Wang Heizi's situation is not much better.

But Tang Qingqing never expected that these people would dare to ambush at this critical moment and attack so cruelly.

This was clearly a deliberate attempt to seduce Zhai Hongyi and make him miss an extremely important exam in his life.

Even if these people were caught and punished, Zhai Hongyi's fate would have changed.

This is undoubtedly a provocation that challenges justice and the rule of law.

Tang Qingqing clenched her fists, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Wen Xuelan continued: "I hope you stay away from him in the future and don't drag him to do such dangerous things. His future should not be here, please let him go."

"If you are his friend, you should do it for his own good and help him go higher and further, instead of selfishly letting him go down the wrong path."

Tang Qingqing remained silent. Wen Xuelan thought she would not speak, so she turned around and wanted to leave. Then a pleasant and sweet voice sounded behind her.

"What's good for him?"

Wen Xuelan stopped.

"Is it good for him to interfere in his life without caring about his personal wishes? His personal wishes are worthless to you?"

Although Zhai Hongyi seldom talked about family matters, we had been together for such a long time that I could still guess some things.

He would run down to cut in line, mostly out of disgust at his parents and elders interfering in his life, so he would simply run away.

Zhai Hongyi is a person who yearns for freedom but is not lax. Once he decides to do something, he will be extremely serious and responsible.

But if he doesn't want to do it and is forced to do it, he will hate it extremely and appear very rebellious.

He is actually very easy to coax. As long as you say a few soft words and explain the reason clearly, he will not reject it.

On the contrary, they will try hard to break free and refuse to obey.

Over the past two years, Zhai Hongyi has had many opportunities to return to the city, but he was unwilling to go back and never went home during the holidays. This shows his disgust for being interfered with.

There were traces of his coldness towards Wen Xuelan. Every time Wen Xuelan appeared, she would bring up a topic at the end, which was to ask him to ease the relationship with his family.

Zhai Hongyi was impatient to hear these things, so naturally he was not close to Wen Xuelan.

For Zhai Hongyi, Wen Xuelan was the representative of those relatives. She had followed him all the way, and the sight of her made him feel disgusted.

If the injury this time was indeed caused by the feud with others because of her solving the case, Tang Qingqing would indeed be sad about it.

But this was their own choice, and they were prepared to bear the consequences of such behavior from the beginning. They should condemn those who did evil.

If Zhai Hongyi is unwilling to take such risks again, Tang Qingqing respects his decision, but Zhai Hongyi has said nothing now, and it is not the turn of an outsider to make comments here.

Wen Xuelan disagreed, with a look of condemnation in her eyes:

"You are letting your emotions get the better of you. Now this is the result. Xiaoyi is still lying in bed unconscious. He has a head injury and we don't know what's wrong with him. You are still not aware of it. Xiaoyi treats you as a friend, but you don't consider him at all!"

"I have always admired you as a capable person, but I never thought you only care about yourself. You are so selfish!"

After Wen Xuelan finished speaking, she turned around and left the ward, no longer paying any attention to Tang Qingqing.

When Tang Qingqing returned to the ward, Wen Xuelan pretended not to see her and ignored her.

When the team leader got the news, he rushed to the commune with Wang Heizi's parents. When he saw the two of them like this, he slapped his thigh.

"Who is so cruel? We will skin them alive if we catch them!"

The college entrance examination is tomorrow. This is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The captain learned from Wang Heizi that Zhai Hongyi was extremely smart and had a good chance of being admitted to university.

Now that this has happened, it’s all over!

Wang Heizi's parents were extremely worried along the way. When they arrived at the hospital and saw that although Wang Heizi was seriously injured, his life was not in danger and he had no missing limbs, they finally felt relieved.

Tang Qingqing walked forward to apologize to the two of them. People from the Public Security Bureau had just come over. Just as Wen Xuelan said, those evil thugs who hurt people were indeed the people or relatives who had been caught by Tang Qingqing and others before.

Knowing the importance of the college entrance examination, he deliberately created such an incident to take revenge on Tang Qingqing and others.

In fact, they wanted to attack Tang Qingqing, but she was in the commune school, so it was difficult to do so.

Besides, injuring her would certainly not be as effective as injuring her left and right arms.

Tang Qingqing is hateful, but Zhai Hongyi and Wang Heizi are equally disgusting.

They not only protected Tang Qingqing, but also provided her with various clues, which enabled the case to be solved so quickly.

Most of the people who beat people were arrested, and the whereabouts of the remaining few are unknown. According to those who were arrested, those people were the masterminds and had already escaped on the train.

They were planning to run away anyway, so they wanted to do something big before leaving.

Wang Heizi's mother was stunned for a moment, then said:

"Qing girl, what does this have to do with you? It's not like you took Heizi with you. Besides, you can't praise yourself for being a good person when you are praised. Now that something goes wrong, you blame yourself for taking Heizi with you.

We are not educated people, but we are not unreasonable people either!"

Wen Xuelan was also present when Heizi's mother said this.

Tang Qingqing had her back to her and had no idea what expression she had.

At night, Wen Xuelan still stayed.

Seeing that she was not leaving, the captain could not help but say, "Wen Zhiqing, you are going to take the college entrance examination tomorrow. Don't stay here. Go back quickly."

Heizi's mother: "Yes, we are here, you don't have to worry."

Wen Xuelan shook her head and said, "I can't leave. Before I left the team, I promised his parents that I would take good care of him. Now that something like this has happened to him, how can I just leave him alone?"

Everyone present was stunned. No one had expected that Wen Xuelan had such deep feelings for Zhai Hongyi.

Tomorrow is the National College Entrance Examination Day!

After being suspended for so many years, the new college entrance examination is finally here.

This will be able to change a person's destiny, especially for educated youth, it is extremely important.

Since the announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination, the educated youth have been studying almost day and night for the past month.

The captain was a kind man and reduced their workload so that they had more time to read.

Many people study late into the night in the hope of achieving great success tomorrow.

Wen Xuelan's family also sent her a lot of study materials, which she shared with everyone.

It can be seen that she also attaches great importance to it. I didn't expect that she would go to such an extent for Zhai Hongyi.

If I stay in the hospital tonight, I will definitely not sleep well, which will affect my exam tomorrow.

The captain continued to persuade him: "Tomorrow is very important for you. We are here."

Wen Xuelan was determined to stay: "He hasn't woken up yet. I can't sleep peacefully even if I go back. It's better to wait here. No matter how important the college entrance examination is, it's not as important as him."

The captain didn't know what to say for a moment, and he looked at Tang Qingqing.

Tang Qingqing also didn't want Zhai Hongyi to wake up and find out that someone had affected his college entrance examination because of him.

Although this may not be what Zhai Hongyi wanted to see, others will inevitably feel that he is also responsible.

"Wen Zhiqing, Brother Yi probably doesn't want to see you ruin your future for him."

Heizi's mother: "Yes, yes, his parents asked you to take care of each other, but they didn't ask you to do this. Don't we still have us? I can serve people. My man is strong and can take care of everything."

Wen Xuelan still insisted: "This is my own choice, it has nothing to do with Xiaoyi. I appreciate your kindness, and I can do what you can do."

No one expected Wen Xuelan to be so stubborn, but they couldn't drag her out or chase her away, and there was nothing they could do about her.

Tang Qingqing wanted to persuade her again, but Wen Xuelan gave her a deep look:

"Are you worried that my presence here will influence him and make him stop listening to you?"
