Police station.
Today, a group of prisoners are being escorted to a designated location for labor reform, and Su Xiangbei is among them.
During his time in prison, he seemed to have been drained of all his energy. He became extremely thin, his cheekbones protruded high, his eyes were sunken, and there were dark circles under his eyes.
His once bright eyes were now lifeless, staring blankly at his toes.
Su Xiangbei clenched his teeth, his cheeks bulging from the effort, his heart filled with anger and resentment.
He was dissatisfied; why hadn't Jiang Xue come to find him after all this time?
Does she really intend to abscond with the money, have her family find her a new husband, and have her son call someone else "Dad"?
At this thought, his previously numb eyes instantly turned bloodshot, like a wild beast driven to the brink of despair.
No, he absolutely cannot let that happen!
Even if it meant death, he would never let his son call someone else "Dad"!
They're all bad, their very existence is a waste of air.
Perhaps...
Suddenly, a sinister smile appeared on Su Xiangbei's face, a smile that sent chills down one's spine.
Thousands of ways to torture people flashed through his mind in an instant, and his eyes revealed a crazy intensity.
Su Xiangbei watched as the prisoners were taken away one vehicle after another, a barely perceptible glint flashing in his eyes.
We can't be trapped here; we have to find a way to escape.
Fortunately, he didn't sleep too soundly last night. He vaguely heard snippets of conversation coming from the next cell and keenly sensed that today might be an opportunity.
He discreetly followed a prisoner and got into the same vehicle.
Halfway down the road, there was a sudden loud bang—a tire had blown out. The car slid sharply to the side and came to a precarious stop on the side of the road.
In an instant, the prisoners on the bus seemed to explode, rushing out in a swarm and scattering in all directions.
Su Xiangbei also ran forward desperately, disregarding everything. He was a native of the county and knew the terrain here like the back of his hand.
After winding through the old forest for a few turns, I descended to a nearby village, grabbed some clothes that were hanging outside a house to change into, and then hurried off towards the Meng family's house.
Inside the clinic.
Su Dahai slowly woke up from the anesthesia, his head was dizzy, and he felt like something was missing.
Just then, the doctor and nurses came to check on the patients.
"Bed 1, Su Dahai, your left leg has been amputated. If you have a persistent high fever in the next couple of days, remember to call the nurse immediately to prevent infection of the wound. Also, please have your family come over as soon as possible to pay the medical and surgical fees." The doctor's voice was clear and calm.
Su Dahai looked confused. What?
My left leg was amputated?
When did this happen?
His eyes widened, and he weakly raised his head to ask, "Doctor, what did you just say? I don't quite understand. How did my leg get amputated?"
The nurse who called yesterday quickly explained, "Last night you asked me to contact your family, saying that they couldn't afford such high treatment costs, and that your leg had been injured a second time and couldn't be saved, so we performed surgery on you and amputated your leg."
The nurse's voice was gentle, but to Su Dahai it was like a bolt from the blue.
He glanced at his legs instinctively and saw that where his legs used to be, there was nothing there.
At that moment, Su Dahai completely broke down, and he screamed hoarsely, "Where did I get any family members from!"
Who helped me decide to have my leg amputated?
I asked you to help me contact her to come and pay the surgery fee, not to have you amputate my leg!
These are my legs, why should others decide for me!
You'd better set my legs right now, or I'll make you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Dahai's vision went black, and he collapsed onto the hospital bed like a lump of mud, unconscious.
The nurse touched her nose and explained to the serious-looking attending physician, "Last night he asked me to contact his family, and they clearly stated that they didn't have the money to pay for the treatment. We performed the surgery without receiving any money, which is already more than enough. Besides, his leg really can't be saved; it was bound to happen sooner or later..."
The attending physician snapped, "Alright, no need to explain anymore. Contact his family immediately, take him home, and urge them to pay the surgery and hospitalization fees."
At the same time, Meng Shuyun arrived at the clinic.
She asked the nurse about it, and the nurse looked at her in surprise.
“Yes, it’s Su Dahai, the one who broke his leg and had it amputated last night, and who was also disfigured.” Meng Shuyun nodded in response.
"Are you his family member?" the nurse asked suspiciously. "The payment hasn't been made for several days..."
Meng Shuyun quickly interrupted the nurse, waving her hand and saying, "I am not his family member."
Here's the thing, I was asking around for my friend.
Did anyone with a non-local accent come looking for him today?
Su Dahai, despite his age, still doesn't learn good habits and keeps flirting with other women.
My friend is shy, so as her friend, I had to come and ask around myself.
The nurse shook her head, indicating that no one had come looking for him, and added, "Since you know his family, please pass on a message and tell them to come and pay the bill."
Having obtained the information she wanted, Meng Shuyun left the clinic and went to buy groceries with peace of mind.
As soon as she left the clinic, a person emerged from behind the tree; it was Su Xiangnan.
He stared coldly at Meng Shuyun's back, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Just to be on the safe side, he decided to come and keep an eye on things himself, since he was driving from Beijing and would be easy to spot.
Even if you try to keep a low profile, you'll definitely stand out in this small county town.
He waited all day but didn't see a single car.
Su Xiangnan was furious, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. He began to suspect that Meng Shuyun had tricked him.
He secretly regretted that he had been so careless; how could he have believed this woman?
She's a complete liar!
Just as his emotions were about to completely erupt, a low-key black sedan slowly pulled up in front of the guesthouse not far away.
The car door opened, and a man in his forties got out and walked straight into the guesthouse.
The moment the car appeared, Su Xiangnan noticed that the license plate was from Beijing!
A storm raged in his heart. Wasn't Meng Shuyun talking about a woman?
Why is it a man?
Isn't this the person he's waiting for?
