Chapter 89 Chapter 89
Fortunately, Lu Qinghe remembered what Fan Meiyu said before. She mentioned that her current man was called Dong Dali. Otherwise, she really wouldn't know who this man was for a while.
After explaining it to Zhao Zhanming, he still didn't understand.
Zhao Zhanming frowned: "Tell someone that I'm leaving the hospital."
"I was thinking of asking what's going on. If he's just here to visit, I'll just say a few words and then come up and not let him come over."
"What could it be? They're just asking for our help. Just turn it down. We agreed last time, so that was all we could do."
"But this time..."
In fact, Lu Qinghe and Zhao Zhanming had a chat about it afterwards.
But Zhao Zhanming would rather believe it was a coincidence, or even that Lu Qinghe's worries played a role, and he absolutely did not believe in the so-called prediction of the future.
"Anyway, I'm going to ask what's going on."
Zhao Zhanming hummed, "Do you want to ask someone to come with you?"
"Need not."
After going downstairs, Lu Qinghe saw Dong Dali standing at the hospital entrance. He was wearing tattered clothes, looked listless, and had a cautious look in his eyes.
It looked like he had either just come out of the trading floor or was in the bullpen.
"Hello, you must be Dong Dali."
Dong Dali's eyes dodged. After glancing at Lu Qinghe, he looked at the ground at the speed of light and nodded cautiously.
"yes."
"I'm Lu Qinghe. Are you coming out now? Are you here to see me or Zhao Zhanming today? Isn't Fan Meiyun with you?"
Dong Dali lowered his head, his expression unclear, but his voice was rough and hoarse: "Normally, I can't, but today I can. I'm going to the hospital today."
"I know you came to the hospital."
"No, I mean I'm sending Meiyun to the hospital, to a...mental hospital."
Lu Qinghe was stunned. "Mental illness?"
"Um."
Dong Dali tucked his hands into his sleeves and squatted at the door. "Meiyun has been acting strangely since she read last month's report. Especially since she saw the news about the successful rescue of the soldiers a while ago, she's been talking to herself all day long, saying strange things."
“…What did you say?”
"She said it was all a dream, then she said it wasn't a dream, that she'd taken the wrong path in this life, and she also said...she said she should have lived the life of an officer's wife like you. But that's pure nonsense. She'd wanted a divorce long before. She also said she didn't want to go to Lihua City and suffer with the army, and that Captain Zhao was indifferent. She kept talking nonsense all day long. Yesterday, she even wanted to jump off the building."
Lu Qinghe frowned, "Her mind is a little confused."
"Yeah, it was just chaos. She said that if she died, she would be able to start a new life and make new choices. We were so scared that we quickly tied her up. Her condition has been going on for a long time. We had no choice but to send her to a mental hospital. Even when I left just now, Meiyun was still talking about her past life. It was like she was possessed."
After listening, Lu Qinghe had already guessed what was going on.
A reborn person, although she doesn't know what she experienced in her previous life, has such an opportunity, but no one around her believes it. In addition, after her rebirth, both her choices and memories are gradually different from what she expected, and her position is not firm. Once she begins to doubt herself, her thinking will naturally become confused.
Lu Qinghe didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he could only sigh.
Dong Dali squatted for a while and then stood up.
"Lu...Comrade Lu, I don't really have anything else to say. I just...just assume that I might have been influenced by Fan Meiyun. Can I ask you something?"
"You speak first."
"That's right, do you believe what Meiyun said?"
"I don't care whether she's making it up or not. As long as it concerns the safety of our Lao Zhao, I'd rather believe it. This is the only answer I can give you."
Dong Dali was silent for a moment, then laughed, "That's right. After all, only ghosts would believe that kind of nonsense."
There is no point in saying anything more. Dong Dali's child has been arrested and his wife is gone. Besides this, the thing he wants to ask most is whether he can lend him some money.
But I knew it was impossible even without saying anything, so I just turned around and left without saying anything more.
After Lu Qinghe went upstairs, he had a brief chat with Zhao Zhanming, and Zhao Zhanming's attitude remained the same as before.
"I think Fan Meiyun is possessed by a demon."
“…Maybe.”
There was nothing Lu Qinghe could explain for her. Everyone has their own destiny, and she deserved it.
If Fan Meiyu had been a little more kindhearted at the beginning, and instead of thinking about running away, she wanted to save Zhao Zhanming, she probably wouldn't have ended up like this.
A difference in one's thoughts can affect your whole life.
-
Municipal Mental Hospital.
"Have you gone to find Lu Qinghe?"
"I went."
Through the fence, Fan Meiyu suddenly grabbed the iron guardrail, her eyes wide, and threw herself on it. "Did she say anything? Zhao Zhanming is okay, right? His life was changed because of my words. No, he was even brought back to life! Shouldn't his family thank me?"
Dong Dali frowned and looked at Fan Meiyun with pity. "It was already very good that they were willing to help us in the first place. They probably didn't take your words seriously at all."
"But Zhao Zhanming is not dead, that is..."
"That's because of the timely negotiation and coordination. Besides, if they really believed you, why was Zhao Zhanming willing to go out on that mission a month ago? Shouldn't he have been hiding? If he believed you and still went, he'd be a fool."
This one sentence completely stunned Fan Meiyu.
After a while, she held her head with both hands and banged her head against the wall.
He protected his head for fear of pain, but kept bumping into it. His head was fine, but the back of his hand was bleeding.
The nurse rushed over, grabbed Fan Meiyu and tied her up again.
Dong Dali was watching outside, and finally just shook his head and turned away.
He might not come back after this.
It doesn't make sense.
He didn't even know when he would be able to leave Linba, let alone bother taking care of another madman.

The next day, Zhao Zhanming was taken home from the hospital to continue his recuperation.
"Actually, there's no big problem anymore. If you ask me, I can start some simple work and carry out field missions, which can help me take my time."
Teacher Meng came to visit Zhao Zhanming at home, and Zhao Zhanming couldn't help but discuss work matters with Teacher Meng.
"There's no rush for work, just take your time and rest at home."
"Old Zhao is a bit restless." Lu Qinghe spoke up for him.
Sister-in-law Wei came over with her, teasing Zhao Ran while joking, "If you can't stay idle, just stay home and babysit Qinghe's child."
"He helped out a lot, but he was mainly concerned about military affairs."
Commander Meng thought for a moment and said, "We really can't rush this. Zhan Ming's current first-class merit will take another month to be approved. By then, he might no longer be the deputy commander of the 115th Regiment."
Lu Qinghe understood the meaning.
The same goes for Zhao Zhanming.
"Zhan Ming, our division has been lacking a chief of staff. You have nothing to do at home for the past month, so you can think about it. After you think it over, you are welcome to talk to me anytime."
Zhao Zhanming and Lu Qinghe looked at each other.
Chief of Staff, and at the division headquarters, this is equivalent to being promoted two levels at once.
Zhao Zhanming: "I understand, but... I want to listen to the organization's arrangements on this matter."
Division Commander Meng smiled. "Same thing. The organization will also consider your opinion. When the time comes, besides the division chief of staff I mentioned to you, I'm afraid other regiments or division headquarters will come to discuss this matter with you. I can think of this as trying to recruit talents for myself in advance. However, your opinion is just for reference. The final decision will depend on the organization's arrangements."
"I see."
"If you're transferred to another area, Zhan Ming, you might have to change your station, and then our two families will be far apart."
The adults were chatting in the house, and the children in the yard were listening to bits and pieces of what they were saying.
Meng Bin was playing with a slingshot with Zhao Zirui. He was stunned when he heard this.
Meng Bin: "If Uncle Zhao changes his station, will we not be able to see each other often in the future?"
Lu Yang nodded: "Of course, we won't live in the same family compound, and we have to change schools."
"ah?"
Meng Bin felt a little disappointed: "Then I hope Uncle Zhao won't leave here. I don't want to lose my friend."
Zhao Zirui nodded in agreement.
Lu Yao, on the other hand, was the most open-minded. "Even if we're not in the same place and don't see each other often, we're already lifelong friends. We're still young now, and when we grow up, we'll definitely be busy with our own things. Look at Zhao Zimo, he rarely comes home all year round."
After saying this, Meng Bin felt a little sad.
"You're a man, why are you overthinking so much?" Lu Yao patted Meng Bin's shoulder. "Think positively. Our friendship won't disappear because of this. Besides, you'll be a freshman in the second half of the year. We'll be in junior high school, so we'll see each other less often anyway."
Having said that, Meng Bin still hopes to be with his friends.
"Speaking of the future."
Zhao Zirui squatted down and looked at the anthill on the ground. "Brother Meng Bin, what do you want to do in the future? I heard that when you enter high school, you have to consider employment. If you don't think about it in advance, you will end up being an educated youth."
"I want to join the army."
Meng Bin spoke without hesitation, his eyes sparkling. "Like our father, I also want to make my own contribution to the motherland. I envy and admire soldiers. This is my goal. I want to go to military school first."
Zhao Zirui couldn't help but applaud Meng Bin. Then, he turned his gaze to the bird on the book. "I don't know what I'm going to do in the future. Anyway, I'm not very interested in anything right now. Maybe I'll be a scholar like Mom said."
Lu Yao came over and asked, "Don't you like animals?"
"That's right." Zhao Zirui couldn't help but fantasize, "Then I'll go to the zoo and be a zookeeper in the future!"
"puff……"
Lu Yang laughed, "Don't let them feed the animals. The animals will become thinner and you will become fatter."
"Lie." Zhao Zirui snorted, scratching his head with a smile: "But this is what I want to do most right now, what about you, Brother Lu Yang?"
“I want to be a doctor.”
Lu Yang glanced at the living room, lost in thought. "Especially after seeing Dad injured this time, I want to be a doctor even more, to protect you and Mom and Dad, and to protect more people."
"Then why don't you open a clinic right next to our house?"
"Or join the army as a doctor."
“…”
Everyone started talking at once, and the topic turned to Lu Yao.
Meng Bin: "Lu Yao, do you still want to work as a police officer at the Public Security Bureau?"
"Of course." Lu Yao raised her head, her face full of energy. "I'm so brave, the bad guys would be scared to death just by looking at me!"
