Lin Mengxi took a few steps forward and slowly squatted in front of my wheelchair. Her body softened and she fell on my legs. Tears kept flowing, soon soaking my pants. She kept repeating, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
"It was me who almost got you into trouble. I should be the one to say sorry." I comforted her softly, reaching out and gently patting her back.
Lin Mengxi raised her head, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, shook her head, turned to Chang Yue and said, "Can I stay?"
Chang Yue hesitated slightly when he heard this, and said with difficulty, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate."
After hearing this, Lin Mengxi nodded silently, and said with a choked voice: "Then I'll take you back, and then I'll leave immediately."
I turned to the men in suits and said, "Could you please help me get this girl safely to 'a certain state' later?"
One of them nodded, and I handed him my car keys.
…
At night, a quiet atmosphere enveloped the entire house... Chang Yue and I sat on the sofa, and the air around us seemed to be frozen... Zhu Wei never returned my calls, and I couldn't remember how many times I called him... I couldn't help but wonder if something had happened to him.
After more than an hour, I finally heard the sound of the door opening... Zhu Wei dragged his tired body in. He looked extremely tired and his face was extremely ugly.
I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Zhu Wei sighed heavily, took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to me and said, "Give me one." I was just about to reach out to take it when Chang Yue was quick to snatch the cigarette away... I was helpless, but didn't say anything.
Zhu Wei smiled helplessly, took out his lighter, lit a cigarette, and took a few deep puffs. Then he rubbed his temple and said tiredly, "The person behind him is not simple... No wonder it took so long to catch him. We chased him for a long time. When we were in the city, several cars without license plates suddenly appeared and deliberately interfered with us... Later, when we chased him to the suburbs, we only found the wreckage of the Prado. The car had been blown up... The people disappeared without a trace, leaving no clues at all."
At night, I lay in bed...looking at Chang Yue beside me, made up my mind, and said, "Let's...break up."
"Are you worried about my safety? I'm not afraid... I won't leave you, don't think about it. If you are afraid... then we will move to another place and continue living..." Chang Yue looked at me firmly.
I looked at her determined eyes and sighed in my heart.
"Good night." Seeing that I didn't respond, she added gently, then shook her head slightly... as if to deny the breakup I had just proposed... as if as long as she didn't admit it, none of this would happen.
…
In the early morning, while Chang Yue was still asleep, I leaned on my crutches and gently opened my suitcase. I took out the wooden box that Lao Li gave me, walked to the guest room, took out the items inside, and practiced how to operate it.
