Chapter 245 I thought I failed to protect you...

Meng Zhiyi's footsteps stopped suddenly, and even his reaction was half a beat slow.

She stood at the entrance of the hotel, looking at the cars coming and going on the road ahead. For a moment, she felt that the voice coming from the other end of the phone was particularly far away.

Lin Luoluo's excited voice continued. She repeated it many times until she finally said to Meng Zhiyi with a sob: "Thank you."

Because if her father had not met Meng Zhiyi, he might have never seen the light of day again in that small compartment.

Meng Zhiyi opened his mouth, but found that he could not make any sound.

If Meng Tinglan hadn't caught up with her and wondered why she was standing still and patted her, she wouldn't have come to her senses so quickly.

"Wait for me there, I'll be there soon." Meng Zhiyi hung up the phone and walked quickly towards the roadside.

"Little sister, where are you going? I'm driving." Meng Tinglan called out in confusion.

Hearing this, Meng Zhiyi quickly turned back, grabbed Meng Tinglan's arm and said, "Take me somewhere!"

"Oh... OK."

Meng Tinglan didn't ask, but took Meng Zhiyi to the parking lot.

In the car, Meng Zhiyi sent him the address and location, then sat in the back seat without saying a word.

She kept looking out the car window, biting her fingers unconsciously.

[Lin Chuan wakes up...will he blame me? ]

[Blame me for not protecting my teammates, blame me for insisting on hunting down Lian Mubai? 】

[It’s my fault that he became a vegetable and lay there for so long…]

[What about Lin Luoluo? Will she blame me too? ]

After hearing her thoughts, Meng Tinglan, who was driving, was completely confused.

He found that he seemed to not understand Meng Zhiyi's thoughts.

When he wanted to listen more, Meng Zhiyi suddenly became quiet.

The car was driving very fast, and Meng Zhiyi was so focused on the scenery passing by outside the window that she didn't even notice the several messages Shen Que sent her.

About forty minutes later, Meng Tinglan drove to a private manor.

There were many bodyguards guarding outside the manor, and when they saw the car coming, they stepped forward and prepared to drive it away.

"It's me." Meng Zhiyi rolled down the car window and said lightly.

"Ms. Meng, the young master has been waiting for you here for a while." The bodyguard immediately slowed down his tone and became respectful.

Meng Zhiyi got out of the car and turned to look at Meng Tinglan who was still sitting in the car.

I thought he would also clamor to go in this time, but for some reason, Meng Tinglan waved his hand and said, "Go in, I'll wait in the car. If you have anything, call me."

Although he didn't understand from his heart why Meng Zhiyi came here, his intuition told him that it was better not to know some things.

He was afraid that once the last layer of paper was broken, Meng Zhiyi in front of him would no longer be the little sister of the Meng family.

Meng Zhiyi didn't have the energy to think too much at the moment, so he just nodded and walked straight inside.

In the manor, Shen Que was standing under a tree in the yard wearing a dark suit.

"Shen Que." Meng Zhiyi jogged a few steps.

Shen Que held her hand, his dark eyes watching her tenderly, "Lin Luoluo is inside. The doctor just checked Lin Chuan's body. Apart from being weak, there is no major problem for the time being."

Meng Zhiyi bit her lip, feeling extremely nervous.

The scene of her comrades falling was still vivid in her mind. If Lin Chuan blamed her, how would she repay this debt?

Shen Que looked at her and could feel Meng Zhiyi's uneasiness at the moment.

"Why are your palms so sweaty?" Shen Que did not directly ask her why she was nervous. Instead, he spread out Meng Zhiyi's palms and gently wiped them.

She asked softly, "It's too hot? How about drinking a glass of water before going in?"

Meng Zhiyi shook her head.

[It's something you have to face sooner or later anyway, worrying about it won't solve any problems. 】

Shen Que didn't say anything more, but led her towards the room where Lin Chuan was.

At this moment, Lin Luoluo was guarding his bedside.

During the years that Lin Chuancheng was in a vegetative state, although he could not move, he still had consciousness of the outside world.

He knew that his daughter was bullied by her stepmother and stepbrother at home, and he also knew that the mother and daughter always cursed and complained about her in front of him.

So when I woke up and saw Lin Luoluo, I was filled with self-blame and heartache.

Lin Luoluo comforted him instead.

"Dad, I'm not miserable. I met Zhiyi, and she pulled us out of that quagmire. As long as you are here, I am not afraid of hardship."

"Zhiyi not only arranged for you to rest here, but also arranged a job for me."

"She'll be here in a bit, and I'll introduce her to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Luoluo and Lin Chuan looked and saw Shen Que standing at the door, with Meng Zhiyi standing behind him.

Because he was blocked by Shen Que, Lin Chuan did not notice Meng Zhiyi at first.

"Senior Shen, Zhiyi, I just mentioned you to my dad, come in quickly." Lin Luoluo stood up and walked over, stretched out her hand and pulled Meng Zhiyi to the bedside.

"Dad, she is Zhiyi."

Meng Zhiyi stood beside Lin Luoluo somewhat stiffly, staring straight at Lin Chuan.

When he saw her, the expression on Lin Chuan's face changed from curiosity to shock.

"Team..." Lin Chuan subconsciously wanted to shout out that title.

But Meng Zhiyi shook his head gently at him.

After Lin Chuan understood, he quickly sent Lin Luoluo away: "Luolu, Dad wants to eat the old-fashioned pine cake. Can we buy it nearby?"

"It's a bit far, but I can ride a shared bike there." Lin Luoluo knew that her father wanted to eat Songhuagao just to get her away.

Maybe he had something to say to Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que.

"I'll let the driver take you." After Shen Que finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Meng Zhiyi and Lin Chuan with space to talk alone.

After they all left, the room was so quiet that the only sounds left were breathing and the sounds of instruments.

Lin Chuan seemed unable to believe that the person in front of him was the captain who had led them through life and death, and his eyes kept looking at Meng Zhiyi.

For a long time, he didn't dare to speak to recognize her.

"Uncle Lin, don't you recognize me?" Meng Zhiyi said softly, looking at the skinny and unrecognizable man in front of him.

As soon as the word "Uncle Lin" came out, Lin Chuan couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes.

He was trembling, and with his hands on the bed, he tried hard to move his body.

Meng Zhiyi hurried forward to support him, his eyes filled with tears.

Lin Chuan grabbed Meng Zhiyi's hand tightly, and his emotions became a little agitated, causing the instrument next to him to sound a rapid prompt.

Meng Zhiyi said anxiously: "Uncle Lin, don't get too excited, your body can't bear it."

Lin Chuan's breathing became a little rapid, and the hand that was holding her kept tightening, as if he was afraid that the person in front of him would disappear if he let go.

Meng Zhiyi didn't rush to say anything else, but waited for Lin Chuan to calm down.

After a while, Lin Chuan finally confirmed that the person in front of him was real. He then spoke with trembling lips and said hoarsely: "You are still alive... still alive..."

Meng Zhiyi held back her tears and nodded: "Yes, she's still alive."

Lin Chuan seemed to be relieved, and his hand holding her was shaking: "I thought I failed to protect you..."
