The old auditorium is bright and spacious with plenty of sunlight coming in through the glass windows.
The team members lined up neatly on the stage, and everyone sang loudly following the conductor's rhythm. One passionate and loud song after another echoed in the hall, and everyone devoted themselves to the rehearsal.
Xiao Dong from the message room suddenly pushed the door open and came in. She looked a little anxious, and quickly walked up to Song Huaizhi, whispered a few words, and then handed her a note.
Song Huaizhi took a quick glance, then looked towards the center of the stage, made a pause gesture, and said, "Shen Nanqing, come here."
Everyone looked at Shen Nanqing with inquiring eyes after hearing this, wondering in their hearts what the leader wanted her to do. Shen Nanqing was also very confused, but she didn't think too much and walked onto the stage calmly.
"Others continue rehearsing." Song Huaizhi gave an order, and then took Shen Nanqing and Xiao Dong to the auditorium.
Song Huaizhi's Adam's apple rolled, and she stuffed the folded note into Shen Nanqing's palm, and said in a serious tone: "Nanqing, calm down first, and tell me if you have any difficulties."
Seeing her solemn expression, Shen Nanqing's heart skipped a beat, and the hand holding the note became unusually heavy.
He opened the note, and the ink on it was dry, and it said, "Father Shen is injured, critically ill, come back quickly."
When Shen Nanqing saw the contents of the note, he was stunned at first, his eyes widened instantly, and then he read it again.
After confirming it again and again, she froze in place, as if she was frozen in place.
After a brief moment of unconsciousness, she took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, frowned slightly, and her eyes became clear again.
"Xiao Dong, can you tell me what the specific situation is?" Shen Nanqing asked anxiously and calmly, staring at Xiao Dong closely, not letting go of any details, his brain working rapidly, thinking about countermeasures.
"Comrade Shen, the caller said it was from the machinery factory. When your father was doing a random inspection, his hand was accidentally entangled in the machine. The situation is very serious. He has been sent to Friendship Hospital for emergency treatment. I ask you to return home as soon as possible." Xiao Dong opened her mouth. That might be the last time they saw each other, but she swallowed it back in the end.
Shen Nanqing just came back from visiting relatives yesterday, and her father personally sent her to the car. Why did it happen today?
Her father had worked in the machinery factory for many years and inspected the workshops every day. He knew the equipment conditions very well. It was impossible for him to make such a mistake.
The more Shen Nanqing thought about it, the more strange it felt, and asked again: "Did the person on the phone say who he was?"
"Li Gao..." Xiao Dong thought for a moment. She was focused on her father's affairs. She really didn't care about the person on the phone.
“Li Gaoyi.” Shen Nanqing’s tone suddenly turned cold.
"Yes, his name is Li Gaoyi." Xiao Dong patted his head and said with certainty.
Shen Nanqing's heart finally fell back to its original position, and her face showed that she was still anxious.
"Song Tuan, can I ask for leave first and then write a note when I come back?" She said with a trembling voice.
Song Huaizhi was also a member of the Communist Party, so she immediately made special arrangements and asked her to go first, and she would take responsibility for any problems.
Originally, she wanted to arrange a car for Shen Nanqing, but Shen Nanqing refused. She felt that this was her personal matter and that she could not use national resources and would have a good impact.
Shen Nanqing staggered towards the gate, and Song Huaizhi was afraid that the guard at the gate would not let him go, so she personally sent him to the gate.
This scene happened to be seen by Song Huaiwen.
"Sister, what happened to Shen Nanqing?" Song Huaiwen saw her rushing to the door in a panic, and hurriedly pulled Song Huaizhi to ask.
Song Huaizhi frowned and sighed, "Someone just called and said her father was critically ill. When the child heard it, she rushed back immediately."
After hearing this, Song Nanhuai's heart sank suddenly. Looking at Shen Nanqing's receding back, he was still relieved and chased after him.
"Hey, where are you going?" Song Huaizhi looked at the man who disappeared like a gust of wind, with a puzzled look on her face.
Recently, she found that Song Huaiwen was a little strange. She used to let him live in her house as if she wanted to kill him, but now he seemed to want to stay with her.
She was very active in coming to the cafeteria to eat every day, and she even suspected that Song Huaiwen had fallen in love with their group's cook.
But the chef is a big and strong man!
After Shen Nanqing was out of sight of the sentry box, the anxiety on her face disappeared and her steps became brisk.
She took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She was glad that she was only singing today and was wearing her daily military uniform. She didn't need to wear a tight training suit, otherwise she would definitely be reported for being immoral if she went out.
The tour group is not very convenient, but fortunately it is far from the Friendship Hospital, and it takes half an hour to walk. It will be faster if you take a shortcut.
If you want to take a shortcut, you need to go through an alley. Shen Nanqing went straight into the alley without thinking.
With a "crack", the sound of a branch being stepped on and broken was particularly abrupt in the quiet alley.
When Shen Nanqing heard the noise behind him, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, he raised his hand to secretly pull out the wooden hairpin in his hair, then put it into his sleeve, and tied up the scattered hair with a rubber band at will.
She quickened her pace and turned into a dead end, then pressed herself against the wall, pricked up her ears, and held her breath.
"Where's the person?" The man stopped at the entrance of the alley, looked around anxiously, and didn't see any human figure. He cursed in a low voice: "Strange, where is the person?"
The moment he poked his head out to explore, Shen Nanqing seized the opportunity and rushed out from the dark, pressing the wooden hairpin in his hand against the other's neck, his nails turning white due to the force.
"Don't move. If you dare to move or say anything, I'll send you to see the King of Hell!" Shen Nanqing said sternly.
The man froze, his voice trembling, "Don't, don't do it!"
"Who are you? Why are you following me? Is the phone number you're calling?" As she spoke, the wooden hairpin in her hand moved a little closer to her skin.
The man was so frightened that his whole body was shaking, tears and snot were streaming down his face. He was in a state of extreme embarrassment. He stammered, "I... you have to let me go first, then I will tell you."
Seeing his cowardly look, Shen Nanqing felt that if she went any further, he would probably piss himself. She really wanted to ask him questions while smelling the urine smell, so she really let go.
Men are really scared, but they don't think women are that powerful. It's all their own fault for being careless.
He originally wanted to test it out, but he didn't expect this stupid woman to actually let go. He was delighted, but immediately his evil side was revealed.
In a flash, he used all his strength to punch Shen Nanqing, cursing, "Little girl, dare to mess with me, let you taste how powerful your brother is."
Song Huaiwen saw a man following Shen Nanqing stealthily from a distance. He wanted to chase him, but saw that both of them turned into the alley.
The alley was connected in all directions, like a maze, and because he was not familiar with the terrain, he could not find Shen Nanqing for a while.
At this time, a man's rough voice sounded in the alley. Song Huaiwen's eyes turned red instantly, and his tall figure rushed towards the source of the sound with anger.
But the scene before him made him freeze in his tracks.
