Chapter 562 Jumping into the Sea
Jiang Ruan and Tang Bai were taken aback.
I didn't expect this answer.
"Is she you?" Jiang Ruan asked tentatively, afraid that asking too many questions would make him feel uncomfortable.
“She was my best friend before I joined the army.” Mo Mo’s tone was mechanical, but there was a hint of gentleness in her eyes. “In your words, we would call each other childhood sweethearts.”
Tang Bai realized something: "You're desperately trying to make money, is it for her?"
Mo Mo nodded: "Mm."
She told him not to come back to her until he had saved up a lot of money, and at that time he didn't understand why she needed so much money. But since it was her who said it, he would try his best.
Thinking about it now.
She said that on purpose to deceive him.
She was afraid that if he knew about her illness, he would give up the relationship after two years.
"How did she die?" Jiang Ruan asked.
“She was sick, very seriously ill.” Mo Mo asked around but couldn’t get any specific information, only this: “She didn’t have money for treatment at the time, so she went back to her hometown, and she passed away not long after.”
"You haven't contacted her all these years?" Tang Bai asked, somewhat puzzled.
“I looked for her, but couldn’t find her,” Mo Mo said. “I also couldn’t get her contact information.”
He met her in Lancheng and they grew up together.
After his parents passed away, she became the only light in his life.
When he first enlisted, he would contact her as soon as he got a cell phone. At first, she would answer his calls, but later she would say that she hadn't earned much money and wouldn't answer anymore.
After that, she really didn't answer anymore, but when he called too often, she would occasionally send him a text message telling him not to contact her.
Later on.
The text messages are gone too.
He thought she was angry, so he apologized and said he would work hard to earn lots and lots of money. She replied with "That's more like it," and then there was no further contact.
He went back to look for her during his holiday, but couldn't find her.
He had always assumed she was from Lancheng, but he only recently learned that her hometown was elsewhere, and that her parents had moved her household registration to Lancheng to make it easier for her to attend school.
Jiang Ruan and Tang Bai remained silent.
Since we couldn't get her contact information and don't know anything about her situation, it's highly likely that this girl told her friends before she passed away that if Mo Mo asked, they should pretend they didn't know.
"So how did you find it?" Tang Bai asked.
“My ex-husband helped me find out,” Mo Mo said, glancing at Jiang Ruan. “It was a deal he made when he told me to protect the boss.”
Tang Bai patted him on the shoulder.
Mo Mo: "I'm fine. I've come to terms with it. Anyway, I'll run into her again someday in the future."
Tang Bai put the card back in his hand.
Mo Mo: "?"
"Take this card," Tang Bai said. "It'll be there in case you need money someday."
Mo Mo glanced at him.
Then I looked at Jiang Ruan.
"I'm the boss's man now."
"I know."
"Then what are you going to do with me?" Mo Mo asked seriously.
A question mark appeared between Tang Bai's eyebrows and eyes.
He felt like he couldn't quite understand what the kid was saying.
"As long as I'm with the boss, everything that belongs to the boss is mine." Mo Mo said seriously, then reverted to his usual stoic demeanor. "If I get sick or something happens to me, the boss will treat me."
Tang Bai hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
That's true.
But it's inconvenient to buy things even if you have money?
“If he doesn’t want it, just keep it,” Jiang Ruan said. “Give it to him when you need it.”
"Okay." Tang Bai accepted it.
The matter is settled.
Jiang Ruan plans to go to the hospital to check on her condition.
Before I could even tell them to get the car, my phone rang.
"Hello."
"Boss! The person you asked us to keep an eye on jumped into the sea." A serious voice came from the other end of the phone. "We just pulled her up, we don't know if she's still breathing."
Jiang Ruan's heart skipped a beat.
She immediately instructed, "First aid is needed. Have you called 120?"
"I hit him."
"I'm coming right away."
Seeing how nervous she was, Tang Bai couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"He Jia jumped into the sea." Jiang Ruan said with a heavy heart, "She was just rescued, and her life is still unknown."
It's impossible for someone to jump into the sea for no reason.
Unless Qin Muchuan said something to her during the meal they had that day.
An hour later.
Jiang Ruan rushed to the hospital.
Seeing the bodyguard standing at the door of the ward, Jiang Ruan walked over and asked, "How is the situation?"
"He's been rescued, but he's still unconscious," the bodyguard replied.
Jiang Ruan went inside.
He Jia was lying on the bed, her face pale.
“We were a bit far from her at the time, afraid that we would be discovered if we got too close,” the bodyguard explained. “We thought she was just playing on the beach, but who knew she would walk towards the deep water area.”
"How are you all?" Jiang Ruan asked with concern.
Bodyguard: "We're fine."
Jiang Ruan: "Thank you for your hard work. You guys go and rest first. Leave this to me."
Seeing that Tang Bai and Mo Mo were both there, the bodyguard said "okay" and left together.
Jiang Ruan waited in the ward for almost an hour before He Jia woke up.
Looking at the white ceiling, He Jia's first thought was, "Is she already dead?"
"Awake?" Jiang Ruan called out, bringing her back to consciousness.
He Jia glanced to the side, and when she saw it was her, her mind went blank for a few seconds before she finally reacted: "Sister Jiang Ruan."
Jiang Ruan asked, "How are you feeling?"
"Am I not dead?" He Jia's voice was very soft, and she seemed a little dazed.
"No," Jiang Ruan replied.
He Jia couldn't express her feelings.
When the seawater covered her nasal cavity and chest cavity, she felt a great fear, and suddenly she no longer wanted to die.
I'm both happy and unhappy to be rescued now.
I'm happy that I'm still alive, but I'm unhappy that I didn't complete the task my boss's father assigned me, and I guess I won't have many good days ahead of me.
"Is there anything else that's bothering you?" Jiang Ruan asked, inquiring about her physical condition.
"It's alright." He Jia wasn't in a very good mood. She glanced at Jiang Ruan and said with mixed feelings, "Was it your people who saved me?"
Jiang Ruan: "Yes."
He Jia: "Thank you."
Jiang Ruan was very direct: "No need to thank me. Having people around you to keep an eye on you is, in a sense, an invasion of your privacy."
“But you arranged this because you were worried something would happen to me, didn’t you?” He Jia actually understood everything.
She knew Jiang Ruan was a good person.
I know the boss is the bad guy.
But some things can't be solved simply by being good or bad.
"Why did you jump into the sea?" Jiang Ruan asked directly when she saw that she was feeling a bit better.
He Jia's eyes darkened slightly: "I can't say."
Jiang Ruan: "Did Qin Muchuan say something to you?"
"I'm sorry." He Jia only said three words. She couldn't betray her boss's father, nor could she lie to Sister Jiang Ruan.
“You’re still young, you have a long life ahead of you.” Jiang Ruan looked at her. “Even if my mother’s case has to come at a price, she’ll only be in jail for one to three years. If she confesses to the mastermind, she can get a lighter sentence. There’s no need to ruin her whole life.”
He Jia pursed her lips and remained silent.
indeed.
She'll have a long time to live after she finishes her prison sentence.
Death is not the most effective solution.
