Qi Yu finally accepted the letter.
Xu Liang said he wanted to go see Grandma Zhang, but considering that Grandma Zhang was stressed out about Xu Liang, she let Qi Yu go by himself.
The two were about to separate when they ran into Aunt Wang who was helping Grandma Zhang out to bask in the sun at the corner.
The four of them froze in place at the same time.
Qi Yu immediately stepped back behind Xu Liang, wanting to leave immediately.
Xu Liang also immediately cooperated with his actions.
However, Grandma Zhang quickly grabbed Qi Yu's wrist, like a bomb thrown into the lake with the fuse pulled. The bomb exploded the moment it touched the water, causing a huge uproar.
"It's you!" Grandma Zhang used all her strength to grab Qi Yu, and when she saw the bracelet on his wrist, a sharp roar instantly resounded throughout the second floor.
Xu Liang and Aunt Wang almost tried to stop him immediately, but the old man was so strong that he held on to Qi Yu tightly and refused to let go.
The nurse not far away heard the noise, quickly notified the doctor, and rushed over to help.
The other elderly people watched from a distance and did not dare to step forward easily.
Grandma Zhang's pupils shrank as she glared at Qi Yu viciously, her lips still uttering the words they were all too familiar with: "You watched him die without helping him! You watched him die without helping him!"
Xu Liang couldn't care about anything else at the moment and could only help Qi Yu break free from her palm that she wanted to dig her nails into.
Finally, the four people worked together and finally pulled Grandma Zhang's hand back.
She still struggled forward, trying to grab Qi Yu again. Fortunately, Qi Yu dodged in time and the doctor came over in time to give her a sedative.
Half an hour later, Grandma Zhang was lying on the bed, and a small amount of sedative was enough to calm her excitement.
She stared at the people around her, and when the figure from before disappeared, she quickly exhaled again.
Finally, his gaze returned to Xu Liang.
As if she had found a sense of security, she started shouting again: "Those are Tong Xin's people! They are Tong Xin! They watched someone die without helping!"
Different from the anger she was yelling at Qi Yu, Xu Liang felt that Grandma Zhang was complaining to her at this moment.
At this time, she was able to speak clearly, like the occasional moments of clarity in the course of Alzheimer's disease.
Xu Liang was stunned. This time, he didn't try to change the subject. Instead, he continued to ask, "Grandma, what do you mean? Why didn't they help me?"
She saw tears welling up in the old man's eyes. His words were not so fluent, but he still had basic logic: "Acheng...that group of people...killed...killed Acheng...it was...it was Dean Xu who didn't save her..."
Xu Liang's brows furrowed ever tighter, and he subconsciously asked, "Acheng is dead? How did you know? Did you see Dean Xu with your own eyes?"
Cold tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes and slowly flowed down the wrinkles on the old man's face. The old man sobbed and his body twitched briefly again.
Xu Liang gently patted the old woman's chest to help her calm down. When she continued to speak, the old man's eyes became confused again and he mistook her for Lin Cheng.
"Acheng...Acheng is here...I miss...I miss you so much..."
She squeezed Xu Liang's hand tightly.
Xu Liang was completely confused and asked again, but the old man no longer answered her.
Helpless, I could only comfort the old man first.
…
Qi Yu had been waiting on the balcony for Xu Liang to come out.
He didn't just sit there and wait. Through the windows on the balcony, he could see the conditions of the elderly in some rooms.
Some elderly people are already entertaining themselves in the activity room, while others are still sitting in the room resting.
He noticed the new caregivers and knew that Xu Liang had also participated in the interview.
These caregivers are somewhat different from Yian’s original caregivers.
They will take the initiative to get close to the elderly.
Just like the caregivers hired by Tongxin.
To say that he could accept it completely would not be the truth.
After all, his principle is not to highlight the humanities. On the contrary, he believes that technological elderly care should adhere to the principle of saving manpower to the greatest extent possible.
But she wouldn't like that.
My heart began to conflict again -
Is he really willing to accept all this, or is he accepting it just because of her?
She sticks to his principles so much, does he have to give up his principles to get close to her?
Does he really think that science and technology and humanities should be given equal importance?
His heart was a little confused, and a feeling of restlessness was rising. He turned around, no longer looking at the situation in the room, took a deep breath outside, and slowly exhaled.
However, his restlessness had not subsided, and Qi Yu urgently needed to find something to divert his attention.
I didn’t want to look at my phone, so I touched my whole body and accidentally touched the thank-you letter.
I stared at the cover and saw a few small words written in smooth strokes in the lower left corner: To Qi Yu.
Two seconds later, Qi Yu took out the letter and read it.
Grandma Wu's handwriting is indeed beautiful, and she is also good at typeset. It is pleasing to the eye just by looking at it.
The letter mostly contained words of gratitude, expressing the fear they felt at the time, and how grateful they were that 'Qi Yu' had discovered it in time, and how much they liked the community after the rectification.
Grandma Wu said that although she likes chatting with the voice assistant and can adapt to a patterned life, if she had a little more freedom, she would feel that this place would be more like her home in her later years.
If you can get along with the elderly and caregivers in the community like friends, there will be less sense of distance between everyone, and this place will feel like a beautiful paradise.
He recalled the day when Grandma Wu almost got into trouble.
The urgency and anxiety he felt at that time returned to his body, and Qi Yu stared at the letter in a daze.
Could it be that the shortcomings of technology can be compensated by humanities?
Compared to the high-risk approach of saving manpower, perhaps evenly distributing manpower and technology is a better option?
Before Qi Yu had time to think further, his thoughts were interrupted by Xu Liang.
Xu Liang came out with a serious face, and Qi Yu quickly received the letter: "What's wrong?"
Xu Liang's eyes quickly swept over the letter in Qi Yu's hand, but he was not in the mood to talk about it at the moment, so he relayed what Grandma Zhang had said just now.
"So Lin Cheng is dead?" Qi Yu wasn't too surprised, but he didn't completely expect it either.
Xu Liang shook his head. "Actually, I can't be sure. She was awake for such a short time, and the information she provided was so limited. I think we should take Grandma for a full-body checkup as soon as possible."
Qi Yu glanced at the date and asked, "What does Song Ying say? If possible, how about tomorrow?"
If it happens to be the weekend, they can also accompany you.
"I'll ask her."
…
Everything was fine at the company, so the two planned to go home directly.
Xu Liang rarely drove a car, but it was not Qi Yu's car, but her own.
Qi Yu asked Liu Zhu to drive his car back to the company.
Qi Yu contacted his contacts in the co-pilot seat and said that he was not sure who the invader of the community was, nor was he sure whether it was related to Zhang Qilin. Now he could only find someone to investigate Zhang Qilin's recent movements to prevent any further incidents in the community.
Qi Yu found a few familiar classmates in his address book. Two of them had cooperative relationships with the pharmaceutical company where Zhang Qilin currently worked, and another was a new employee who had just joined the company after changing jobs not long ago. He sent messages to them.
Qi Yu paused when he accidentally came across a familiar person.
I haven't contacted this person for five years. After clicking on it, the last message was a missed voice call from the other party.
He suddenly thought of Lin Cheng's matter and subconsciously asked the person next to him, "You said there has been no news about You Yi for such a long time. Could it be the same result as Lin Cheng's?"
The entire car suddenly lost its direction. Xu Liang was startled, and after finally regaining his composure, he glanced at him, "Why did you mention him?"
As for this person, Xu Kyung used to treat him as a friend.
Later, she began to resent him.
Blame him for having no news for no reason, blame him for making Song Ying wait for so many years.
Qi Yu spoke frankly: "If You Yi were here, with his connections, he might be able to find out who did it."
Xu Liang snorted coldly, "Maybe he just went back to Switzerland to be a young master and no longer wants to have anything to do with us."
Qi Yu didn't say anything else.
The classmates he contacted quickly replied and readily agreed to Qi Yu's request.
Firstly, it was because of the old friendship between classmates, and secondly, Qi Yu could be considered a high-quality network now.
After explaining everything, Qi Yu put the phone back into Xu Liang's pocket.
The car was quiet for a while, and we were not far from home.
Xu Liang suddenly felt a burning gaze.
She deliberately ignored it and pretended not to see it, but the man took the initiative to speak: "Your eyes are not so swollen anymore."
“…”
Xu Liang stepped on the accelerator a little harder, without looking around or responding.
"It's a pity my shoulder is still sore."
“…”
Xu Liang still didn't answer, pursed his lips, and sped up again.
She didn't want to talk to Qi Yu about last night at all.
She didn't respond, but Qi Yu didn't force her at all. He just kept staring at her, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xu Liang only heard him laugh and fiddle with her phone for a few minutes.
After finally driving the car to the parking lot, Xu Liang just wanted to go upstairs quickly.
But I moved too hastily and in a panic, I dropped everything in my hands.
Qi Yu had just unbuckled his seatbelt and was helping her pick up her phone when Xu Liang leaned over at the same time without noticing, and their heads collided with a dull thud.
Xu Kyung gasped and stepped back in pain: "It hurts!"
The person who bumped into you was not in a much better condition. He lost his balance and one of his hands hit the storage box again.
Qi Yu endured the pain and handed her the phone: "I'll pick it up, be careful."
He let go and went to pick up the tissue and keys on the ground, but he didn't notice that the storage box next to him had opened a crack.
Xu Liang stood outside the door, rubbing his head. He glanced at the gap that had been shaken open. He was about to remind Qi Yu when he suddenly noticed what was placed inside.
She tilted her head slightly and leaned in closer. "You put your pocket watch here too?"
But she didn't know if it was her illusion, but after Qi Yu noticed that the storage box was open, he immediately pushed it back, hummed hurriedly, and quickly got out of the car.
"Let's go upstairs."
Xu Liang was pushed into the elevator by him, but he didn't take his eyes off him.
She lowered her eyes to look at the slightly guilty face and asked directly, "Why are you feeling guilty?"
Qi Yu glanced over but didn't respond.
Xu Liang was even more confused and continued to ask, "Is Mr. Qi pretending to be dead?"
Qi Yu finally turned his head, but replied abruptly: "I learned this from you. You've been avoiding my words all day."
“…”
After being suddenly scolded by him, Xu Liang completely lost the urge to ask further questions. He scratched his chin awkwardly and said nothing.
After entering the house, she wanted to hide in her room, but Qi Yu called her into the kitchen to help him cut meat. Xu Ying wanted to refuse, but Qi Yu gave her an excuse that she couldn't refuse: "Song Ying will be here soon."
"ah?"
