Chapter 864: See You on the White Rhino Rooftop
Zhang Yifei walked into the ward and looked at Dai Yidan, who was lying on the bed and looked extremely thin. Dai Yidan also looked at him, and the corners of his mouth moved as if he was trying to force a smile. Zhang Yifei then looked at Zhang Zhisheng who was sitting next to him. Zhang Zhisheng turned around when he heard the noise.
"Xiaofei, call me sister." He spoke in a flat voice.
Zhang Yifei didn't shout. He frowned and stared at his father's back, questioning, "Why did you keep it a secret until now?"
Dai Yidan on the bed felt her throat move when she heard this, and she turned her gaze to Zhang Zhisheng with difficulty. She also wanted to ask this question, but this was the first time Zhang Yifei asked it, and she had asked it countless times without getting an accurate answer.
Even if Zhang Zhisheng answered "I don't want to destroy the stability of the existing family", she would accept it, but Zhang Zhisheng did not give any answer.
"It's my fault. It will probably take me a long, long time to atone for my sins..."
"Xiaofei, can you call me sister first?" Zhang Zhisheng said in a low voice.
Zhang Yifei took a deep breath.
He looked up at the person on the bed and shouted, "Sister."
Dai Yidan looked at him without answering, only a tear flowed down her thin face.
Zhang Zhisheng raised his arm and took Dai Yidan's hand, squeezing it firmly. "Don't worry, Dandan. I've already made arrangements with Binbin. He'll be able to come out to see you next month. When the time comes, let the two brothers push your wheelchair and take you out to play, okay?"
Dai Yidan nodded slightly.
Zhang Yifei took a step back and sat on the chair, then asked Zhang Zhisheng, "How long can my eldest brother be out this time?"
"I've already made the announcement. I think it'll take about two weeks. You need to keep an eye on him and don't let his former subordinates get close to him and tell him nonsense. Actually, as long as he keeps performing, with his grandfather's relationship, he won't be locked up for many years."
Zhang Yifei nodded: "Yeah."
There have been so many unexpected events recently that Zhang Yifei is honestly feeling a bit breathless. He just heard on the phone that his father's "lover" is actually his half-sister, and his head is numb.
The most unacceptable thing is that Dai Yidan is dying. The cunning and smart woman in my impression is now lying on the bed lifeless.
This world was so absurd that it didn't seem real to him at all.
…
Lu Yuanqiu held his cell phone, wondering how to notify Zheng Yifeng.
He walked to Bai Qingxia's door and gently pushed it open a crack, and saw that Bai Qingxia was still sleeping.
Sure enough, after drinking, I started to sleep in.
There was another Lu Douqing on the bed. She was wearing panda pajamas just like Bai Qingxia. Last night, she saw Bai Qingxia looked very funny after getting drunk, so she ran over to sleep with her. At this moment, the two figures lying on the bed looked round and plump, just like two pandas sleeping in a double row. I wanted to rub them.
Lu Yuanqiu didn't disturb them.
Walking to the window, he called Zheng Yifeng, but no one answered. He didn't know if it was because of the time difference or because Zheng Yifeng was busy.
Lu Yuanqiu could only send messages.
『Lu Yuanqiu』: Let me tell you something, to make it short, Dai Yidan is your half-sister, she has pancreatic cancer, and she may not have much time left... You should arrange your time well and see when you can come back to see her, I'm afraid you will regret it.
"Xiao Qiu."
Bai Songzhe stood at the other end of the corridor and shouted to Lu Yuanqiu with his cell phone.
Lu Yuanqiu hurried over: "What's wrong, Uncle Bai?"
Bai Songzhe: "Captain Li just called and said he has contacted Interpol."
"Yu Zhimei is doomed. These are Captain Li's final words."
Bai Songzhe showed a relaxed expression after he finished speaking.
But Lu Yuanqiu felt that he seemed to have something else to say.
Bai Songzhe walked towards the fence on the second floor, and Lu Yuanqiu followed behind. The two leaned against the fence. Lu Yuanqiu followed Bai Songzhe's gaze and saw that he was looking at the rising sun outside the window in front of him.
Bai Songzhe likes to watch the sun, just like his daughter.
The sun is red but not dazzling. Many people like to watch the sunrise, probably because the rising sun represents hope more.
"Zhang Zhisheng and I have known each other for a long time. When he was little, he loved to fight, but the reason for every fight was basically because of me, because I was always bullied in the orphanage."
"He used to protect me and beat up anyone who bullied me. He was always punished so much that he didn't have any food. I got used to saving food in my pocket to bring to him."
"At that time, he called me Xiaoqing, and I called him Xiaochong. The word 'Chong' was actually the name I gave him, not because he was impulsive, but because he always had a spirit of not admitting defeat, which is what I admire most."
Bai Songzhe lay on the fence with his fingers crossed.
After a pause, he continued to Lu Yuanqiu, "I've been thinking about this for a long time these past few days. Actually, after knowing that the car accident wasn't caused by Zhang Zhisheng, I felt much more relieved. If there's no evidence that he and Yu Zhimei colluded to frame me... Xiaoqiu, do you think I can also try to untie the knot in my heart..."
After hearing what he said, Lu Yuanqiu actually understood what Bai Songzhe meant.
He has always felt a heavy burden on his heart over the years because of this incident, but now that he has made it through many difficulties, his only regret is probably that Luo Ran did not receive medical treatment in time.
They all knew Zhang Zhisheng wouldn't turn himself in for the sake of his family, but Zhang Zhisheng had already expressed remorse for the frame-up. If they continued to hunt for evidence and harass him for years, even decades, what would be the point of regaining his sanity? Bai Songzhe was already over fifty, and he still hoped to spend his remaining time and energy with his family.
Lu Yuanqiu could understand what he meant.
"Uncle Bai, if it were me, I would fight him to the end. I wouldn't take the blame for things that don't belong to me, but you are not me after all, and I wasn't the one who had those experiences with him... In short, you make your own decision."
"To be honest, I don't have as much hostility towards Zhang Zhisheng as I did at the beginning." Lu Yuanqiu turned his head to look at him with a smile on his face.
He was lying. He was still hostile to Zhang Zhisheng, but he didn't want to put pressure on Bai Songzhe.
Bai Songzhe is old and he has more important things to care about.
"Okay, I'll find a time to meet with Zhang Zhisheng and ask him to give me a final explanation and put an end to this matter." Bai Songzhe stood up straight and said to Lu Yuanqiu very formally.
Lu Yuanqiu: "Take me with you."
Bai Songzhe: "Okay, wait until Xia Xia wakes up and tell her, the three of us..." Bai Songzhe smiled: "Let's go see him together as a family."
Lu Yuanqiu was delighted by the words "family" and nodded with a smile.
Bai Songzhe: "How about number 23?"
"…Is the 24th okay?"
"OK."
…
"Buzz."
In the ward, Zhang Zhisheng took out his mobile phone and saw that he had received a text message from an unfamiliar number.
