Chapter 642: Encountering an Old Friend
No one was more anxious than Lu Tingchuan now. He began to arrange for people from abroad to look for Shen Qing and called the person in charge of the hospital. If the person was lost in their hospital, they would be held fully responsible. Not everyone could afford to take on such a life-threatening matter.
The surveillance footage was retrieved and sent to his computer. Lu Tingchuan knew that Shen Qing was very stupid. According to her thinking, it was absolutely impossible for her to escape from the hospital without being noticed. Moreover, she did not have the courage to do so. He also had the video that was used to test her self-esteem.
Among them... there must be someone helping her. Shen Qing doesn't know anyone abroad and is not a talkative person. The person she talks to the most is Dr. Song, who provides her with psychological counseling.
Dr. Song, it is possible, but unlikely.
Could it be that during the few days he was away, Shen Qing took advantage of his absence to hook up with some random person?
It was already the next day when Lu Tingchuan got off the plane in a foreign country. He didn't have time to change his clothes or rest. He ate on the plane and went straight to the hospital after getting off the plane.
The dean and several responsible persons were waiting at the door to greet him. When they saw Lu Tingchuan, they bowed and apologized.
"Have you retrieved the street video footage?"
"I haven't seen Miss Shen yet."
"show me."
The dean brought Lu Tingchuan to the office. The video was intact and had not been edited. Lu Tingchuan searched through all the videos and adjusted the time to the time of the incident, but he did not see Shen Qing.
“What about the videos from the hospital wards and hallways?”
The person in charge explained tremblingly: "The surveillance camera had a problem that day and didn't record it..."
Lu Tingchuan was in a rage and threw the glass of water on the table against the opposite wall, shattering it.
At this time, Lu Tingchuan was like an angry lion, his whole body filled with violent aura. He stood up and kicked the chair away, and the computer on the table was not spared.
With a "bang", the computer fell to the ground and the screen went black and shut down.
Everyone in the office was frightened, as if their throats were being strangled and the air became thinner.
Shen Qing...
Lu Tingchuan was so angry, but there was no expression on his face. His brown eyes became increasingly darker, with fine red bloodshot wrapped around the whites of his eyes, making his eyes look bloodshot. His appearance was so frightening that people could not help but feel scared.
"Why did the surveillance camera malfunction at that exact time? How come she wasn't captured outside the hospital, on the street, or on the side of the road?"
Shen Qing couldn't do it with her timid personality, and she wasn't smart enough. She had been locked up for a long time and was born in a mountain village, like a frog in a well who had never seen the world.
The only people who can make such a detailed plan and understand the hospital layout are the staff of the hospital.
Someone who can make someone disappear from the hospital without anyone noticing, and even the cameras outside can't capture him, must have some connections.
The caregivers and cleaners in the hospital can be ruled out, and most of the nurses can also be ruled out. The biggest suspect is the doctor, and he must be Chinese, or a doctor who can speak Mandarin.
This shortens the range.
Lu Tingchuan drummed his knuckles on the table. He closed his eyes and thought for about ten seconds. When he opened them again, his eyes were shining.
"Call all the Chinese doctors here, including Dr. Song, and find out who he's had recent contact with. Bring me a floor plan of the hospital."
The dean nodded and gave instructions one by one. The person in charge opened his phone to find the hospital map and handed it to Lu Tingchuan.
Lu Tingchuan watched for about five minutes. There were many passages in the hospital and most of the surveillance cameras were scattered around, but there was no fire escape. The surveillance camera in this area was broken, and the place it led to was the fire escape.
Shen Qing most likely left from here. How could there be no cameras outside?
If you want to avoid all cameras and not be tracked... the only way is to take the water route.
The people who helped Shen Qing were very smart. They could make Shen Qing's news disappear into the sea, making it like looking for a needle in a haystack to find her.
…
Shen Qing vomited at sea for five days before reaching her destination. Her man sent her to her destination, arranged a house for her, prepared daily necessities for her, gave her a brief introduction to the surroundings, and then left.
Shen Qing was quite satisfied with this place. It looked like a remote town with no shortage of supplies. It was very convenient to live in and the low prices were suitable for someone like her who didn't have much money.
The people in the town were curious about the new young man.
Shen Qing has also learned to be smarter. If she wants to live a peaceful life without being found by Lu Tingchuan, she must keep a low profile. She bought a dark foundation and painted her face with a sallow complexion. She wore a coarse cloth and wrapped herself in a scarf, revealing half of her face.
After putting on makeup, her face is the kind of ordinary face that you can’t find in the crowd.
Shen Qing prepared a piece of land, bought some cabbage seeds and sowed them. In two or three months, she would be able to eat fresh cabbage that she had grown herself.
Shen Qing was born in the countryside, so what kind of farm work had she not done? Planting vegetables was very simple for her.
In addition to growing vegetables, Shen Qing also went to the town to buy poultry. She was weak and had no problem working all day before, but now she would be out of breath after just one or two hours, and she would feel dizzy when she stood up after squatting for a while.
I heard that this is anemia. Shen Qing was diagnosed with severe malnutrition earlier. Lu Tingchuan has given her supplements and she has eaten all kinds of delicacies, but nutrition cannot be replenished in a day or two.
Shen Qing couldn't afford delicacies now, so she went to buy some local eggs. The pork and beef bones here were worthless. Shen Qing bought two kilograms, and the merchant gave her three kilograms as a gift. She took the five kilograms of bones home and slowly made soup.
Shen Qing felt sick from eating eggs and drinking soup, and every day she drank either bone soup or fish soup. However, it worked, and after half a month, her complexion was noticeably better.
I used to have occasional sharp pains in my abdomen, but now they aren't as severe.
A month passed in a flash. The weather abroad was colder than in China. Shen Qing decided to go out to the town to buy two quilts and some thick clothes to prepare for winter.
Many things in the town are not fully available, so if you want to go to a large supermarket, you have to go to the county. Shen Qing didn't dare to go, for fear of being found by Lu Tingchuan.
Shen Qing didn't dare to imagine what the situation was like outside. She had lived so peacefully these past few days that she almost forgot she was running for her life.
Sometimes when Shen Qing couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, she would think that Lu Tingchuan and Li Yun were engaged and were about to start a new family.
In a few years, when they have a child, Lu Tingchuan will no longer have her in his new life trajectory and will probably forget her soon. Will she still be able to return to China then?
All Chinese people know a saying: fallen leaves return to their roots. People cannot escape birth, old age, sickness and death. One day she will die, and she wants to return to her familiar homeland.
As he was thinking... Shen Qing had unknowingly arrived at the town center. The usually deserted streets were now crowded with many people, pointing and talking, as if they had encountered something strange.
Everyone is curious, and Shen Qing is no exception. She walked closer and heard the sound of a guitar coming from inside. Along with the sound of the guitar, a soft and familiar male voice came from inside.
Shen Qing frowned and looked over, and was stunned when he saw it.
Why is Jiang Yiming here?
Jiang Yiming was playing the guitar and singing hard, his voice was a little hoarse, and he didn't look in a good mental state. In front of him was a guitar bag, which looked like all his belongings were inside, not even a hundred yuan.
How did Jiang Yiming end up here? And how did he become so destitute that he was singing in such a small place?
I can only say that human destiny cannot be stopped. It is quite a pleasure to meet acquaintances in such a strange place.
Shen Qing glanced at Jiang Yiming quickly, but before she could look away, he caught her red-handed.
Jiang Yiming stopped playing the piano, opened his mouth blankly and called out, "Shen Qing?"
Seeing her reaction, Jiang Yiming knew that he was not wrong, and ran towards her with his guitar in his arms.
Shen Qing touched her face. It was so ugly. She was stunned looking at it. She didn't expect Jiang Yiming to recognize her at a glance.
"Shen Qing, is that you?" Jiang Yiming finally pushed through the crowd and walked to Shen Qing's side. He even grabbed the person's sleeve, but he was still wondering if he was hallucinating or dreaming.
He secretly pinched his thigh and gritted his teeth. It really hurt. He must be dreaming.
"It's me." Shen Qing nodded stiffly: "Jiang Yiming, why are you here?"
"It's a long story. Why are you here?"
"It's a long story for me too."
The people around who were listening to the song saw Jiang Yiming pulling someone to stop singing and asked, "Young man, are you still singing?"
"No more singing, no more singing, I'm done for today."
