She looked puzzled and somewhat unbelievable, as what she heard was far beyond her expectations.
She had always suspected that those too-coincidental photos were a conspiracy, just like the woman she met in prison who tried to stop her from getting treatment for an inexplicable disease. After she was released from prison, she kept investigating intermittently, but in the end she only found some clues, and nothing useful...
It seems that the reason why we can't find it is because we are going in the wrong direction.
Those photos appeared not because of conspiracy, but because of good intentions.
"It was Chonglou. He said he had contacted you before, but you didn't go to see him. Finally, he found me and asked me to give it to you before the wedding ceremony..." Qingshuangzi thought of the current news, her face full of embarrassment, "At first I was hesitant because you hadn't even seen Chonglou. Later, when you saw Chonglou's serious expression, you reluctantly agreed. But I agreed but didn't do it, which led to the situation later..."
"Lian Nan, I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been like that and lost everything..." Qingshuangzi stood up and bowed deeply to apologize, "I'm really sorry, Lian Nan..."
She knew how much Helian Nan had set her sights on the position of princess, how much she liked Zhao Yu and how much she yearned for married life, but all of this vanished in the blink of an eye because of her mistake.
When Helian Nan hit someone, Qingshuangzi learned that Helian Nan hit someone because he saw the gift she had sent him late. She thought countless times that if it weren't for her, Helian Nan wouldn't have lost everything. When she heard what the mentally ill queen said about Lian Nan being slandered, she burst into tears and the idea that she was the culprit always followed her.
When the night was quiet, she thought countless times that if she had sent it to Helian Nan in advance, Helian Nan might regret the engagement or be sad, but she would still be a princess and would not have to suffer imprisonment or lose her position as a princess which was equal to her life.
“…I don’t know if Lian Nan will forgive you…” Zhu Jin looked at Qingshuangzi and spoke with difficulty.
She is not Helian Nan, she doesn't know if Helian Nan will forgive Qingshuangzi when he knows the truth. Because she is not Helian Nan, she can't say it's okay, nor can she say hate.
"Qingshuangzi, I am Zhu Jin now. I can't answer you on behalf of Lian Nan..." Zhu Jin stood up, walked around the table and helped up Qingshuangzi, who was already in tears, and smiled bitterly, "I think she would probably be unwilling..." Due to a series of accidents, her short life was ruined and she lost her life.
"Zhu Jin..." Qingshuangzi looked at Zhu Jin with tearful eyes, and suddenly hugged Zhu Jin and burst into tears.
The only sound in the box was her crying. After she knew the truth, she had never told anyone about it. She had been holding it in for more than a year, and blamed herself for more than a year. Now, she finally told it to Zhu Jin. For a moment, she could not stop crying, as if she wanted to cry out all her regret, fear, apology and guilt.
She and Helian Nan have been friends since childhood. Helian Nan is a princess who is loved and loved since childhood. Although she doesn't play with them much, most people like her. She is a few years older than Helian Nan, and gets along well with Helian Nan, who is more mature and quiet than his peers. They are friends.
"Cry..." Zhu Jin patted her shoulder and sighed, "It has already happened. No matter how much you say or cry, it will be useless..."
"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry... I didn't mean it..." Qingshuangzi cried even louder, "I... never thought it would be like this..."
Who could have thought of this? Zhu Jin thought of Chonglou. Although he didn't know how he knew it, he must have known about it.
She had always regarded Chonglou as a junior, and always felt that she saw and understood him very clearly, but thinking about the scene when she first met Chonglou and recalling his expression at that time, she couldn't guess whether he knew it at that time. She was sure that Chonglou knew it because she remembered how he was inexplicably nervous when she sat in the flying car...
Zhu Jin let out a breath. He thought that at that time he must have known, just like Qingshuangzi, that the photo was the fuse of everything. He must have felt guilty and blamed himself just like Qingshuangzi. However, since she had known Chonglou for more than a year, she had not noticed much unusual.
If it weren't for today, she would never have imagined that behind those carefree smiles of his, there was such a deep sense of guilt and self-blame.
Qingshuangzi cried bitterly. Although Zhu Jin didn't say it was okay or forgive her, she didn't say she didn't forgive her either. Looking at the look in Zhu Jin's eyes, the huge stone that had been weighing on Qingshuangzi's heart finally loosened. Her eyes were as swollen as peaches, but she still smiled in the end.
Zhu Jin contacted Chonglou as soon as he and Qingshuangzi separated.
"Zhu Jin." It took a long time for Chonglou to answer the call. His face was gloomy, but he smiled when he saw Zhu Jin. "I'm going to say something wrong today. No matter what you think of me, I can't go back."
"Isn't the matter handled well?" Zhu Jin saw his terrible face.
"No, it's very troublesome..." Chonglou looked at Zhu Jin with a deep gaze, "Zhu Jin, I have to go out for a while. I just asked for leave from the dean."
"When can you come back?"
"I don't know when I can come back." Maybe I won't be able to come back... Chonglou couldn't hold back the smile on his face anymore, and started the secret call mode. "It's about the base. Among the people related to organ transplants that I told you about, someone used a person who had a heart transplanted after his death to make a fuss. It's weird everywhere. I feel bad..."
"A dead person?" Zhu Jin's heart skipped a beat. When she was a ghost before, she had seen a few people whose souls lingered after death. However, most of those people died suddenly and their resentment or evil spirits were too heavy and their souls had not dissipated. She had seen those people... ghosts possessed people to take revenge and do evil.
"It should be someone familiar with him... It can't be him." Chonglou saw Zhu Jin's expression change and hurriedly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, and don't let your imagination run wild. The situation is still unclear. I'll go and take a look and I'll be back soon if everything goes well."
"Actually, I don't have to go, but I feel worse if I don't go..." Chonglou looked at the time and gritted his teeth before finally saying, "Zhu Jin, if you hear anything when I go this time, don't take it seriously. One of the reasons I went was because of two people, one was a doctor, and the other was my ex-girlfriend. I tried my best to get her to leave the base, and because of me, she didn't even know the true face of the base..."
"This time, she has returned to the base for unknown reasons. There is also a problem with the doctor. The two of them are in danger. I have to go there." Chonglou's eyes were full of apology. "Zhu Jin, I'm sorry. I can't ignore their safety."
One is the person he hates the most, but if it weren't for that person, he would have died several times. He destroyed him and saved him several times. In this life, the person he least wants to see is him, but he can never ignore him even though he knows that his situation is not right.
As for the other one, it's not that he can't forget the old love, nor that there is no rekindled love, but that is the person he once truly loved. He can't just watch her ruined, and he can't just ignore her life or death...
He hoped Zhu Jin could understand all this.
Zhu Jin felt sad, but, "...if you ignore it, that might be the scariest thing."
Chonglou couldn't help but laugh after hearing her words.
"Zhu Jin, if you can't contact me later, don't worry. I will pay attention to my safety and contact you in time." Chonglou stretched out his hand to touch Zhu Jin on the empty screen, but he put it back in mid-air. "You should go to work and have someone by your side. Don't be alone... If you have any problems, go to the Queen and the Prince. Don't handle it alone."
"Okay, you be careful." Zhu Jin nodded silently, "...you must pay attention to your own safety. I want to...be selfish and make sure you are safe first."
"Well, take care of yourself." Chonglou looked at Zhu Jin deeply, "Wait for me to come back."
good--
Chonglou's face had disappeared long ago. Zhu Jin sat there for a long time without moving. When they got home, the guard looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not remind Zhu Jin to come back to her senses.
Chonglou left without a sound. His departure caused the General Department to fall into a brief chaos, but things calmed down after a morning and returned to normal. Zhu Jin received a patient who suddenly fainted after waking up early, and woke up on the way to the hospital but had temporary amnesia again. The treatment was temporarily ineffective, and the patient and his family were anxious. In addition to the patients who were originally waiting in line for registration, Zhu Jin did not even have time to drink a sip of water in the morning.
The busy day passed quickly, and after get off work, Zhu Jin met director Cang Shu, screenwriter Ma Tang and Qingshuangzi at the elevator entrance again.
This time, Zhu Jin and they went to director Cang Shu's studio, and the four of them went directly to the top floor to ensure confidentiality.
