Chapter 74 Tracking
Han received a call from the nurse, saying that Liu Suping was making a fuss and wanted to see her, and she couldn't stop her. Han thought something big had happened, so she quickly asked for leave from Director Pan and rushed to the rehabilitation center.
She ran to the ward panting, and as soon as she entered, she saw Liu Suping sitting on the hospital bed eating fresh lychees, basking in the sun with a smile on her face. It was a warm picture of a peaceful life.
Han Que finally put down her worries. She wiped the sweat off her head, found a stool and sat on the edge of the bed, panting.
The nurse poured her a glass of cold boiled water, but Han picked up the cup and drank it in big gulps.
Liu Suping ate lychees while squinting at her with disdain, mocking her, "Look at you, you've had no manners since you were little. A girl eating so roughly and grumblingly, it's a joke."
Han felt choked and almost choked. He coughed a few times and gave Liu Suping a secret look. He didn't dare to say anything. He put down the cup, cleared his throat and asked Liu Suping what was the urgent matter that he called her over so urgently.
Liu Suping tilted her head and stared at her in surprise. "When did I ever rush you over? Didn't you want to come see me on your own?"
Han Que: "..."
She was silent in her heart, took a deep breath, sighed helplessly, and reasoned with Liu Suping: "My mother, if you don't have anything to do, don't let Auntie call me to come here anxiously. I'm still at work now. There are so many things to do in the company, and I'm busy as hell. But you called me here without a phone call when you have something to do. I have to ask for leave from my boss. Not to mention, the round-trip fare is one or two yuan, and then you won't say I'm wasting money."
"Hey, you're such an interesting person. When did I ever ask you to rush over here? Now tell me. I didn't ask you to come. You came on your own initiative, and now your work is delayed. You spent money and you blame me. What's your logic?"
Liu Suping was very unhappy. She spat out a lychee pit, threw it into the trash can, and turned away from Han Que.
Han opened his mouth and wanted to say something to him, but the nurse secretly winked at him, telling her not to speak.
Han had no choice but to apologize, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault, you are not wrong at all."
Liu Suping still ignored her, muttering, "You don't want to come to see me? If you want me to, you'll find hundreds of excuses. Now you leave me here alone, and you feel like you have nothing to worry about."
Han Que: "..."
"Hey, Aunt Liu, don't say that. It's not easy for children. You have to go to work." The nurse gave a few words of advice and got up to fetch water from the water room.
She sat silently for a while, then regretted looking for trouble. She quickly tried to tease her and picked up a lychee to taste it: "Hey, these lychees are quite sweet. Please have a few more."
Liu Suping then turned around, picked up the lychees on the table, peeled them, and started eating them. Then, she smiled and said to Han Que, "These lychees are really sweet. You should try them too."
Han said, "I've only tasted one, so take your time."
Liu Suping snorted, "Why don't you eat it? Try it and see if it's really delicious. It was given to you by someone else, so it's free."
"A gift?" Han was a little surprised. "Who sent it? Did someone come to visit you?
"Oh, I don't even know this man's last name. He's a young man, quite handsome. He called me and said he wanted to come and see me, so I asked him to come. He also brought lychees, and bananas and apples over there, a lot of stuff. I can't finish them all. You can take some back later." Liu Suping pointed to several supermarket plastic bags on the cabinet in the room and said to Han Que with a little pride.
"A young man?" Han asked in surprise. "What kind of young man? Have you seen him before?"
Liu Suping was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, then shook her head blankly: "I seem to have seen him before, but I also seem not to have seen him before. I don't remember. Alas, my brain is not good, how can I remember so many things? Anyway, someone sent me something. He said he came to visit my aunt."
Han was furious. She said sternly, "You dare to eat someone's food without even knowing them? Mom, you're really too brave. This is very dangerous, don't you know?" She put the bowl of lychees aside and said, "Don't eat anymore."
Liu Suping moved the lychees in front of her again and said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? He won't hurt me. These are just fruits, how could he possibly poison them? Besides, I'm just an old woman. What's there for someone to poison me?"
Han said, "Mom, there are a lot of bad people out there right now, so you'd better be careful. And you can't tell anyone else where you live now, especially someone you don't know. Do you know who they are? Have you forgotten the last time those people came to our house and made a scene, and made you sick?"
She was angry and anxious, and wanted to question the nurse, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was unreasonable.
Liu Suping seemed to remember that incident. She was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and remained silent, saying nothing more.
After fetching the water, the aunt came in, looked at the expressions of the mother and daughter, lowered her head to work, and didn't dare to say a word.
Han thought about it, winked at his aunt, stood up and walked out of the room.
The aunt followed her out and apologized repeatedly as soon as she left the room: "Ms. Han, Aunt Liu insisted that you come over and made a fuss with me for a long time. I really had no choice. I'm sorry..."
Han waved his hand and changed the subject: "Who on earth is coming to see my mother?"
The aunt shook her head and said, "I don't know this person either, but he seems to know me and is quite familiar with me."
"Looks familiar?" Han frowned. "What does he look like?"
"He was tall, wore glasses, and looked quite gentle," recalled the aunt.
This was obviously someone she was not familiar with.
So Han asked again: "Did he tell my mother who he is?"
Auntie shook her head, thought for a moment, and then said, "Oh, by the way, he told your mother that he was your friend. He also said that he was the older brother of your classmate."
"My classmate's brother? Han was even more puzzled. Liu Suping said that this person called her, which meant that this person knew her.
Han couldn't help but have doubts in her heart. She tried every means to place Liu Suping in this remote place so that she would not be disturbed, but now she came to her door herself.
This is going to get more and more complicated.
Han had no choice but to ask the nurse to keep a close eye on the child.
She returned to the ward and warned Liu Suping repeatedly, "Mom, there are a lot of bad people out there now. Don't tell anyone where you live now. Also, don't eat anything given to you by others. What if something bad happens after eating it? What should I do?"
Seeing her serious expression, Liu Suping also felt that she had done something wrong. She nodded obediently and whispered softly, "Then I won't tell anyone else and I won't eat other people's food anymore, okay? Don't be angry, and don't stop coming to see me, okay?"
Han looked at her cautious, timid and flattering eyes, and felt uncomfortable. He touched Liu Suping's hair and said softly: "Mom, you have eaten so many sweet things, you should get up and let your aunt help you walk, otherwise your blood sugar will rise again." He winked at his aunt and asked her to take Liu Shuping for a walk outside.
While Liu Suping was taking a walk, Han took out Liu Suping's mobile phone from the drawer of the bedside table and quickly flipped through it. She found the most recent call record, which was from an unfamiliar number, and she secretly memorized it.
Han accompanied Liu Shuping to dinner and chatted with him for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, he prepared to go back.
After leaving the ward, Han immediately found the housekeeper and gave him some instructions before leaving with peace of mind.
She got into a taxi and immediately dialed the strange number. After a few rings, the call was picked up and it was a young man on the other end.
Han introduced herself, "I am Liu Suping's daughter. May I ask who you are? Why do you want to see my mother?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, so you are Han Que."
"How do you know I'm Han Que?" Han Que asked.
"I know you are Liu Suping's daughter. We have met before. Don't you remember, Miss Han?" the man chuckled.
Han frowned and said in a cold tone: "Excuse me, who are you?"
The other person laughed again and teased, "Miss Han, you really forget things about important people. Do you remember that we met once? That night outside the bar, I gave you my business card, and you threw it away?"
"You are Xie." Han suddenly realized and said in a rude tone: "Why are you looking for my mother again? Wasn't it enough that you caused him to be hospitalized last time? What do you mean by coming to him again this time?"
Xie Ming kept saying, "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong. I don't have any bad intentions towards Aunt Liu."
"No bad intentions?" Han Que's tone was angry: "You almost killed him last time, and you still say you don't have bad intentions. If you have anything to say, just come to me. Don't threaten me with my mother."
Xie Ming sighed, was silent for a moment, and then said, "I didn't expect that what happened last time would have such a big impact on you. I'm sorry, I'm very sorry."
"Is an apology any use? If my mother hadn't been saved that day and sent to the hospital in time, he would have died." Han gritted his teeth and scolded, "You keep saying you're an investigative reporter and you're here to uphold justice, but how can you use such despicable means to deal with a sick old man?"
Han did not say that his mother was mentally ill, but Xie Ming obviously knew it.
He apologized again and again, and then said, "Ms. Han, I apologize to you again. I have no choice. I wanted to find you to understand the situation, but you refused to see me. And my cousin Zhang Yuming..." He paused, "You also know her. She jumped off the building and committed suicide." His voice lowered,
Han then remembered that he was writing about Zhang Yuming's cousin, and he fell silent.
The two were silent on the phone for a while, but finally Han said, "I know you are Zhang Yuming's cousin. I have heard about her situation and I understand how you feel, but my mother and I are innocent. I am not affiliated with the Chengguang Group and have no connection with them. If you want justice for your cousin, you should use normal means. Aren't you violating your basic professional ethics as a journalist by doing this?"
Xie Ming was silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "You're right, but sometimes we can't guarantee the correctness of the process for the sake of the result. I apologize to you and Aunt Liu again, and I promise not to cause any trouble to you and your family again."
Seeing him repeatedly saying sorry, Han had to slow down his tone and asked, "What is your purpose in visiting my mother today?"
"No. No." Xie Ming denied repeatedly.
"Really?" Han scoffed, "Reporter Xie, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush."
Xie Ming lowered his voice, "I just want to keep in touch with you."
"Keep in touch with me?" Han couldn't understand: "Why do you still think I'm related to your cousin's case? She sneered.
"No, I want to get to know Gu Ningwei."
"Gu Ningwei?" Han was stunned for a moment, then said carefully, "He's not involved in the real estate business. Your cousin's affairs have nothing to do with him."
"Yes, I know. I know he is not involved in the real estate business of the Morning Light Group. But I also have some clues and hope to talk to you about them." There was no intention of showing off in Xie Ming's tone.
"You have a clue? What clue?" Han Que became alert and his tone became serious.
"Of course it's a clue that's beneficial to you and Mr. Gu. I guess Mr. Gu doesn't want to have any connection with the He family, nor does he want to go down the path of business marriage. Right?" Xie Ming asked tentatively.
Seeing Han's silence, his tone became more determined, "I have some clues that can help you."
"I have no interest in the marriage between the Gu and He families." Han Que thought for a moment and said quietly.
