Chapter 466 Plum Candy
Zhou Nan told everything about Zhou Quan without reservation.
Sun Baiqing remained silent from beginning to end.
After Zhou Nan finished speaking, the ward fell silent again, and it was obvious that he was trying to drive the guest away.
Ye Rou glanced at Sun Baiqing and saw that she had her head down and had no intention of speaking, so she stood up silently.
She wanted to say something, but facing two skinny people with dead eyes, she didn't know what to say.
Encourage them to cheer up and live a good life?
Zhou Nan is blind, has a disabled leg, and his voice is ruined.
Although Sun Baiqing didn't say anything, judging from his appearance, what he had experienced was probably even worse.
Her few light words of encouragement were just meaningless nonsense to them.
Ye Rou said nothing in the end. She stood up and walked to the door of the ward. She put her hand on the door handle and pulled it open with force.
Cheng Gang, who was waiting outside, looked over and said, "Ye..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Rou stopped and suddenly closed the door.
Cheng Gang didn't understand.
Sun Baiqing in the ward was also stunned.
After Ye Rou came back, she walked towards her first.
Her grey suit skirt swayed as she walked, as gorgeous as flowing water, and her waist-length hair was smooth, like satin in the sun.
Along with it is a faint fragrance, the sunshine and spring breeze mixed with water vapor, which makes people feel warm just by smelling it.
Sun Baiqing looked at her blankly.
Ye Rou walked to her bedside and suddenly held her hand.
It felt like being touched by a cloud, soft and cool.
Ye Rou's hands are very white, while Sun Baiqing's hands are ugly and dirty.
Sun Baiqing felt uncomfortable and wanted to withdraw his hand. His fingers moved slightly, but before he could react, a round object suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand.
She squinted and looked carefully.
It's sugar.
A plump candy wrapped in brown wax paper.
The candy was very light, but it pressed down Sun Baiqing's wrist.
She held the candy and asked a very silly question.
"What's this?"
"Sugar, plum candy, this is the only one I have."
She spread her hands, holding the candy motionlessly. Ye Rou thought she wanted more, so she lowered her head and rummaged through the knitting bag, as if trying hard to find the second one.
But she didn't find the second candy.
She looked a little helpless, pretty and a little cute.
"I'm sorry, this is the only one I have. If you like, I'll send you some more tomorrow."
Ye Rou held her hand and asked her to hold the candy tightly.
His fingers rubbed against the candy wrapper, making a slight rustling sound. It was very small, but it sounded particularly loud to Sun Baiqing.
Along with it, her dead heart also rang.
She suddenly clenched her hands so hard that the round candy was firmly embedded in her palm.
"Will you come tomorrow?"
When she asked this question, her voice was hoarse and she asked it urgently.
Ye Rou didn't notice anything wrong with her, and nodded seriously, "I'll come and bring you some candy."
Cheng Gang pushed open the door of the ward and said, "Ye Rou, it's time for us to go."
He hurried back to interrogate Zhou Quan.
"Okay." Before leaving, Ye Rou waved to the two of them and said softly, "See you tomorrow."
Her figure disappeared at the door and Cheng Gang closed the ward door.
Sun Baiqing stared blankly at the door, his hand holding the iron nail loosening and tightening, tightening and loosening again.
As soon as Ye Rou left, the ward suddenly became cold again.
Only the candy in Sun Baiqing's hand still had some warmth.
This residual heat is very hot.
Sun Baiqing was so hot that he threw it away in a hurry. The plump candy rolled three times on the bed before stopping.
On the white quilt, a piece of brown sugar is particularly noticeable.
Sun Baiqing was looking at the candy, and Zhou Nan was also looking at it.
Zhou Nan remembers that when Sun Baiqing was studying abroad, he loved eating candy and also liked collecting beautiful candy wrappers.
When he was in the basement, he often heard Sun Baiqing say that he wanted to eat candy.
He actually got a candy, but threw it away. Zhou Nan couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to eat it?"
Sun Baiqing suddenly turned his head to look at him, his eyes bloodshot, no longer as obedient as he was in front of Ye Rou, he looked like a devil crawling out of hell.
She threw the nail in her hand violently, hitting Zhou Nan in the chest.
The rusty iron nail lay naked on the white bed sheet, right in the center of Zhou Nan's sight, looking dirty and an eyesore.
Zhou Nan suddenly lost his voice.
Sun Baiqing said coldly: "This is what you promised me, don't forget it."
Zhou Nan stared at the nail for a long time without saying a word. He held it silently and lay back down.
Sun Baiqing withdrew his gaze and looked at the candy again, as if he was looking at a monster.
Suddenly she leaned back and fell heavily on the bed, pulling the quilt over her head angrily.
The movement was too big and the round candy started rolling again.
The brown candy wrapper rolled across the white bed sheet, leaving a very shallow indentation. The moment it rolled onto the bed, a skinny hand suddenly reached out, caught it steadily, closed its hand, and quickly retracted it into the quilt.
As if nothing had happened.
The ward fell into silence again. It was no longer as dead as a grave. There was finally some life in the room.
Although just a little bit.
——
Ye Rou followed Cheng Gang back to the police station.
Zhou Nan's throat was burned, and although he was not completely mute, he spoke in a very low voice. Cheng Gang could only hear a few words outside the ward.
So he asked Ye Rou to go back to the police station with him and repeat Zhou Nan's words.
"Captain Cheng, you're back."
"Um."
"Comrade Ye Rou is here!"
When they heard Ye Rou was coming, the policemen in the police station all leaned over and greeted her warmly.
"Comrade Ye Rou!"
"Sister Rou is here!"
"Sister Ye, long time no see!"
"Hello." Ye Rou greeted them with a smile.
Cheng Gang was anxious to start the interrogation, so he drove the group of brats away and took Ye Rou to the interrogation room.
The old policeman in charge of the interrogation stood outside the door, holding a thermos cup, his brows furrowed.
"Old Wu, how is it?"
Officer Wu greeted Ye Rou and then shook his head. "He just said that he was always bullied as a child and it was not easy for him to get to this point. He didn't even mention the key point."
"Was he always bullied when he was a child?" Ye Rou was surprised.
Officer Wu sighed, "That's right. He's said to be an illegitimate child, with a father who doesn't love him and a stepmother who abuses and beats him all the time. It's really eye-opening. It's like a valve has been installed in a grown man's eyes. He cries at the drop of a hat."
Seeing Ye Rou's expression was not right, Cheng Gang interrupted Old Wu's long complaint and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Ye Rou nodded and briefly repeated what Zhou Nan said.
Old Wu's jaw nearly dropped to his chest. "How can this be a child? It's clearly a..."
He thought for a long time before he came up with an adjective, "Clearly an evil ghost!"
Cheng Gang disagreed, "The two sides have different stories. We need to investigate whether they are true or not. Don't jump to conclusions too early."
Old Wu shrugged, "Anyway, I just think this is something this kid would do. He looks sinister."
