Chapter 88 088 Domineering A-Ti
Zhang Ma didn't want to leave.
But Bai-Ti was right, she should trust her son.
She wiped away her tears.
She grabbed Yan-Ti's hand, and when she looked up again, her eyes became firm: "Xiao-Ti, let's go."
"Ding--"
The elevator stopped at this floor.
The door slowly opened.
Zhang Ma took Yan-Ti in first, and Bai-Ti walked at the end, only looking back at the elevator door, she looked at the ICU sign lightly -
SICU.
Surgical Intensive Care Unit.
It was the same ICU where Shen Qing lived last time.
**
Director Liu looked at the elevator door closing and tilted his head, "What did the court say to Zhao Jingzhou?" "
Lawyer Zhao is ready to come to Xiangcheng, the court is already hearing the case, and the subpoena will be in their hands tomorrow." The administrative assistant arranged everything, "Zhang Shize was smart, he reported the case and turned himself in right away, but this kind of intentional injury case is punishable by at least seven years in prison."
He thought he could get away with it at the police station.
But Director Liu is no pushover.
Even if Zhang Shize hired Zhao Jingzhou, he would still be sentenced to at least seven years in prison.
"Beep--"
The instruments in the ICU suddenly flashed wildly.
The doctor and nurse on duty rushed over, "Send him to the emergency room first!"
"What did President Xu say?!" President Liu's face changed. He was not worried about Zhang Shize's case. He was only worried about Liu Xinming's life!
The administrative assistant immediately called Xu En, "Wait a minute!"
Xu En was here.
The assistant helped to investigate Yan Yu's case and heard some rumors. He was very anxious. When he found out about Yan Yu and Zhang Shize, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Regardless of Xu En's online meeting, he knocked on the door: "President Xu, this is urgent. I have to tell you right away."
Xu En raised his hand, suspended the meeting, and turned off the microphone.
He signaled the assistant to speak.
"This matter involving Mr. Liu is closely related to Yan Lu and Miss Bai. Yan Lu's agent asked me for Mr. Liu's number. The entertainment industry is trying to ban Yan Lu, but we don't know the specific details yet," the assistant knew the seriousness of the matter. "It's not a simple matter that Mr. Liu was beaten. Miss Bai is definitely investigating. I think you should be careful."
When the assistant knew that Bai Lu was going to investigate Yan Lu's whereabouts, he checked Yan Lu's current situation.
News in the entertainment industry has always been circulated, and the news that Mr. Liu was going to ban her spread quickly.
Xu En's mind was a little confused, and he made a decision in a few seconds, "First cut off the cooperation with the Liu family. I'll ask A Lu, and there's no rush to contact Dr. Lance."
**
It was a little after eight o'clock in the evening.
Zhang's mother and Yan Lu supported each other as they walked in front, the street lights lengthening their shadows.
Bai Lu lowered her head slightly to look at the two shadows.
Sister Xin carefully reached out and handed Bai Lu's school uniform jacket to her.
"Thank you," Bai Lu took it without putting it on, and walked slowly down the stairs, frowning and speaking in a cold tone, "So why did Zhang Shize beat him?"
"I don't know yet." Sister Xin came back to her senses a little, she answered Bai Lu from behind, but just looked at Yan Lu.
It was related to Yan Lu, but Yan Lu never spoke.
Bai Lu followed her gaze and looked over.
She nodded and said calmly, "Okay."
Sister Xin is more than ten years older than Bai Rui. Logically, Bai Rui is just a child in her eyes, but standing next to Bai Rui at this moment, she inexplicably feels pressured.
But the other party is very polite in his words and actions.
Not far from the hospital, a black business car was parked steadily on the side of the road.
The passenger seat window was half open.
Sister Xin has been in the entertainment industry for so long, so she can naturally recognize it. This car is not a luxury business car, but it is a little different from the cars she knows.
She was extremely surprised. Is this girl a classmate of Xiao Zhang's younger brother?
This kind of car is not very eye-catching in Beicheng, but it is eye-catching in Xiangcheng. She didn't expect that Zhang Shize has a classmate with such a good family background. It sounds like he has a good relationship with Zhang Shize .
The back door opened.
A chill invaded.
A child as white as ice sitting in the back of the business car, holding a cabbage in his hand, heard the sound, raised his head a little bit late, and then put his chin on the pillow.
"Get in the car first." Bai Yu asked Zhang's mother, Yan Yu and others to get in the car.
After Sister Xin got in the car, she sat down a little awkwardly.
She really couldn't ignore the air conditioning on the driver's seat, and couldn't help looking over. She
could only see the back of the head and the smooth profile. The thin and cold white fingers were half on the steering wheel, and there was a Bluetooth headset in the right ear, talking to someone.
The tone was casual and lazy, mixed with ice. This voice is unique in the entertainment industry. It was just saying some incomprehensible words -
"counter-offsetting nuclear", "spectral measurement", "annual modulation effect"...
Sister Xin couldn't hear a word.
"Where are you going?" Seeing Bai Di get on the car, Jiang Fuli said hello to the person on the other end of the Bluetooth, reached out and pressed the Bluetooth, and spoke to her in a low voice.
Bai Di's expression was not very good either, "Going to the flower shop."
Send Zhang Ma and the others back first.
"So you haven't seen Zhang Shize yet?" Bai Di tilted his head and asked the person sitting in the back.
Yan Yu reacted at this moment, her eyes almost lost their luster as she looked out the window. "Before the trial, we can't see him unless we find a lawyer and let the lawyer see him..."
She and Sister Xin had checked and found that Zhang Shize was under criminal detention and his family could not visit him.
So no one knew what Zhang Shize's current situation was.
She and Sister Xin were already trying their best to find a lawyer.
Bai Di nodded to show that she understood. She took the cell phone, turned on the dial button, and directly dialed a number.
Director Chen.
He had just finished today's work and was taking his clothes to take a shower when a special ringtone phone rang. He quickly put down his clothes and answered the phone at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. The person
who called was either Bai Di or Jiang Fuli.
"Miss Bai!" He answered the call at lightning speed before the third ring.
Bai Di held the cell phone in one hand and put her other hand on the half-open car window. The cold wind sobered her up and she told the story briefly, "I want to know what his situation is in there." "
Zhang Shize?" Director Chen had never heard of this name.
But it didn't prevent him from going to the police station to check. He didn't even take a shower and put the hat he had just taken off back on his head. "Don't worry, I'll go to the police station to take a look at you."
"Liu Xinming, who is this?" Director Chen had never heard of this person.
Bai Fu thought for a while, "Philanthropist? It seems that he is also a shareholder of Time Entertainment."
She had only heard a little about him.
"Don't look at me," Jiang Fuli didn't say anything when she was talking. Seeing her looking at him, he raised his eyebrows, "I don't know either. If you say Liu Xun, I know him a little bit."
Back seat.
Sister Xin looked at Yan Yu, then at Bai Fu and others, very puzzled.
Liu Xinming is not only a major shareholder of Time Entertainment, but also often does charity. Because of his good marketing, he is well-known on the Internet. It was the first time that Sister Xin saw someone who had not heard of Liu Xinming.
There are more than one or two.
Also, who is "Liu Xun"?
Which Xun?
Sister Xin was a little confused for a while.
**
Zhang's house.
Zhang's mother hadn't rested for two days.
Bai Xi sent her back to Zhang's house and comforted Zhang's mother to rest, "Auntie, take care of yourself first."
She didn't persuade Zhang's mother to eat, but only bought a bowl of soup on the way for her to drink.
Under Bai Xi's comfort, Zhang's mother closed her eyes and fell asleep, but her sleep was not serene, and her eyebrows were wrinkled in her light dream.
Bai Xi waited until she fell asleep, then gently closed the door and came out.
When she came out, Jiang He was leaning against the sofa in Zhang's house, drowsy.
Jiang Fuli stood alone in the yard, with the moonlight as lonely as frost behind him. The houses and potted flowers cast large shadows in the yard.
He deliberately avoided the people in the hall.
Sister Yan Xin sat on the other side of the sofa. Because of Jiang Fuli's presence, the whole environment seemed very quiet.
At this moment, Sister Xin's cell phone rang.
She was startled and subconsciously covered the phone. She picked up the phone carefully, and glanced at the yard cautiously.
The person on the other end of the phone was Xu's publicity department.
"What? Ah... OK, OK, thank you." Sister Xin answered the phone in a daze, then looked at Yan Lu, "Little Lu, you can't be late for the promotional event at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Yan Lu raised her head and licked her dry lips, "They haven't replaced me yet?"
The whole entertainment industry must know about the ban issued by President Liu, right?
"Forget it, I..." Yan Lu forced a smile. She took out a box of cigarettes from her pocket with trembling hands, "You help me..."
"Go on time tomorrow," Bai Lu sat down next to Jiang He, picked up a glass of cold boiled water on the table, took a sip, and barely suppressed her depression. She looked up, "I must go."
Yan Lu was stunned, "But now..."
"Yan Lu, right?" Bai Lu put down the cup. She sat on the sofa casually, her arms lightly pressing on the armrests of the sofa. Under the light, she looked at Yan Lu, her voice calm and rational, "Don't worry about Zhang Shize's situation. Since Xu didn't replace you, you have to stand up even in the swamp. I don't want him to see you fall halfway when he comes out."
She didn't need Yan Lu to explain anything to her.
But she believed in the Zhang family who would leave the most beautiful lily for Yang Lin every week.
"I--" Yan Lu's fingers trembled suddenly, and the cigarette box fell instantly.
She looked at the girl in front of her, her dark pupils were like the vast night sky, as if they could accommodate everything, firm and calm, without questioning, without doubt, and even without accusation.
Yan Lu wanted to cry.
Bai Xi, she seemed to see through all of them, but after that, she still said such a light but extremely heavy sentence--
[I believe in you, and I believe in him, stand up.]
She was firmly choosing between her and Zhang Shize.
Yan Lu shivered, covered her eyes with her hands, and raised her head silently. After a long while, she put down her hands and said in a hoarse voice, "There is a video, I don't know who to give it to, I want to send it to you."
She didn't trust anyone, including the police.
After she finished speaking, she paused for a long time.
She stood up, took out sunglasses from her pocket, put them on herself, and covered her red eyes.
"Sister Xin, arrange for the filming tomorrow morning," she said as she walked out, her voice strong, "Give me the script, and also, contact whoever you can contact to ask for news from Liu Xinming..."
After the two left.
Jiang Fuli came in from outside.
Bai Di picked up the cigarette box that Yan Lu had thrown on the sofa, played with it in one hand, lowered her eyebrows, and slowly took out a thin long cigarette from the box. She
held the cigarette loosely between her fingertips and bit it casually. When she tilted her head, she saw Jiang Fuli coming out of the yard.
The two looked at each other for a while.
Bai Di: "..."
"Pfft."
She spit out the cigarette.
**
Police station.
Director Chen came to investigate Zhang Shize's case. The captain knew that he was investigating Zhang Shize and was very surprised. He quickly took him to the final station. "He's right here."
Director Chen looked at Zhang Shize through the small window of the iron door.
Zhang Shize was lying on the only bed, motionless.
Director Chen frowned, "Open the door."
The door was opened.
Director Chen looked at Zhang Shize's back, "Zhang Shize, Miss Bai asked me to come and see you."
The other party did not move.
Not even the most basic reaction.
"Director Chen, he has been in this position for the past two days, and he has not touched the food," the captain explained hurriedly, "We did nothing. This guy beat the victim like that himself. You didn't see the bloody scene. He wanted to kill the man, and the means were extremely cruel..."
If it were other people, they were basically sure that this situation was PTSD.
But he didn't think Zhang Shize would have it.
After all, when they received this report, they thought that this person was mentally ill. Generally, mentally ill people would not have any sequelae after torturing victims.
Director Chen frowned and looked at Zhang Shize, "I see, bring the file here for me to see."
His tone was solemn.
He walked out, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and sent the message to Bai Xi.
The person in charge of this matter has already gone to retrieve Zhang Shize's file.
Director Chen returned to the office, opened the file that was transferred to him, read it from beginning to end, frowned, "That's all?" "
Yes." The captain replied cautiously.
In fact, the police officers in charge of the trial and the investigation of the case were very strange.
Zhang Shize and Liu Xinming are completely two parallel lines. They found Zhang Shize's class teacher and neighbors today. According to the investigation, Zhang Shize is a sunny boy who is willing to help others.
But Liu Xinming is also a kind and philanthropic entrepreneur.
It is still a mystery why Zhang Shize beat people like this, and he still refuses to cooperate with the investigation.
The phone outside rang, and a police officer answered the call with a serious look.
Two minutes later, he came in to report, "Director Chen, the brothers in the hospital said that Liu Xinming died at 21:42 after rescue efforts failed."
After this incident, they set up a special team and placed some police forces in the hospital.
"This is troublesome." Director Chen put down the file, pressed his forehead, and said softly.
Xiangcheng Hospital.
Director Liu looked at Liu Xinming, who was covered by a white cloth. The veins on his face trembled with anger. Under the bleak light, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, "Zhang, Shi, Ze!"
The cold hospital corridor seemed to be swept by a chill, weird and chilling.
**
Bai Fu waited at Zhang's house until three o'clock, and several brothers of Wenqi and Zhang Shize came over.
She briefly told them what happened before going back.
When she returned to the yard, she received a message from Yan Yu.
It was a video.
Yan Lu: [They added drugs to the wine]
Yan Lu: [I am not the only victim. He has a lot of videos. They should have been destroyed by Director Liu. If he can find them, he can make mine public]
Yan Lu: [He saw the letter in which Liu Xinming threatened me. Everything is because of me]
Bai Yu lowered her head and stared at the video. Her fingers holding the phone turned white.
The next day, Wednesday.
Zhang's house.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, Yan Lu finished filming the video and went to the police station with Zhang's mother. She brought some daily necessities to Zhang Shize. The police officers were much nicer to them today.
Sister Xin was a little surprised.
"Auntie," Wen Qi asked for half a day off today to accompany Zhang's mother, "my mother asked you to stay at my house for two days. Don't worry, they are looking for a lawyer in North City..."
Finally.
He gave Yan Lu a complicated look and took Zhang's mother back to his home.
Zhang's father was on a business trip, and no one in the Zhang family could contact him while he was away.
Wen Qi used to joke that Zhang Shize's father was like a secret agent, but now no matter what, Zhang's mother must not be left alone at home in this situation.
Wen Qi went home.
Yan Lu and Xin Jie went to find Bai Ti.
Zhang's living room. As soon as
Yan Lu and Xin Jie opened the door,
they smelled a faint smell of cigarettes.
Bai Ti stood by the window, holding three photos in one hand and a thin cigarette loosely held in the other hand. She lowered her eyebrows so that people could not see her expression clearly. When she heard someone coming in, she stuffed the photos back into her pocket.
The other hand holding the cigarette casually pushed the window open
to disperse the smell of cigarettes.
The midday sun was fierce, shining through the thin smoke and hitting the girl's face, mysterious and dangerous.
Yan Lu and Sister Xin were both stunned at the same time.
"Sit down." Bai Lu pointed in the direction of the sofa and asked the two to sit down first.
Sister Xin quickly found a seat and sat down. Yan Lu didn't know what to say. She thought Bai Lu would say something to her today, but she didn't expect her to say anything.
Even the way she looked at her was the same as always.
Yan Lu sat down gently next to Sister Xin.
The hall was quiet.
Just when Sister Xin couldn't help but say something.
The door was knocked three times, politely and respectfully.
Sister Xin wondered who came at this time and knocked on the door so politely.
While thinking, she went to open the door of the hall, only to see a familiar figure.
As a broker, Sister Xin naturally remembered all the investors. She was stunned and found it hard to believe that the other party would appear here. She opened her mouth: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu? How did you get here?"
Yan Lu, who was sitting on the sofa with his head down thinking about something, also raised his head. When he saw Xu En, he was also very surprised.
Xu En glanced at Sister Xin.
He was busy with business and did not bring an assistant.
So he did not recognize that this was Yan Lu's broker. He just smiled briefly, nodded slightly to signal her, and walked inside.
When he saw Bai Zhu standing at the window, Xu En finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Ah..."
"Xu En, I just want to ask you one question," Bai Xi put out her cigarette and tilted her head slightly. She looked at Xu En and didn't even call him "Mr. Xu". She just asked, "Who did you come to me to save yesterday? Liu Xinming?"
