Chapter 699: The One Who Protects Against Wind and Rain
When Lin Yilan learned that Chu Xi had left her contact information to Vivian's parents, she felt an urge to tell Chu Xi everything that had happened before.
Thinking of the injuries Vivian had suffered, she found it difficult to calm herself down.
Her parents are also weird. They don't know how to love their only daughter? Even their daughter's death didn't awaken their conscience?
He even set his sights on Chu Xi!
Lin Yilan immediately knew what Vivian’s parents were up to!
As Vivian's good friend, Chu Xi must have wanted to do something for her after her death so that he could feel less guilty towards Chu Siran.
Perhaps keeping her parents' contact information would be useful, but if that couple wanted to blackmail Chu Xi under such pretext, Lin Yilan would never allow such a thing to happen.
In short, she had to give Chu Xi a shot of prevention first.
"Although Vivian's parents didn't kill Vivian, they wanted to use her death to extort money from Huo Juncheng. Vivian has left this world, but they still want to squeeze out every last bit of her value. Such parents are really unworthy of being parents." Lin Yilan said.
Chu Xi's face was filled with sadness and the emptiness after great grief. She opened her mouth and said, "I understand."
"In short, if they say anything to you in the future, don't believe it." She added worriedly.
"Yeah." Chu Xi responded to her indifferently.
Lin Yilan could understand her current mood very well, and she would not have any time to respond to others. Since she had heard it all, she could only force herself to let go of this uneasy feeling.
The funeral was peaceful and everyone was immersed in the sad atmosphere.
Lin Yilan got into the car with Huo Juncheng reluctantly.
Huo Juncheng took out a wet towel and wiped her face. Lin Yilan seemed to regain some spirits now. She sighed and said, "I wonder if her parents will do anything else. I hope that's it. Now that they are gone, let her rest in peace."
"Yeah." Huo Juncheng touched her cold face, giving her some warmth, "Let her rest in peace. Don't be too sad, otherwise I will be heartbroken, okay?"
Only then did Lin Yilan nod obediently.
The car drove towards home.
Huo Juncheng glanced at Lin Yilan, who was sitting in the passenger seat with her head down, and saw that she was still using her phone to comfort each other with her friends, and he sighed in his heart.
In just a moment, he turned his head, but at that same moment, he braked in time.
The car stopped suddenly and Lin Yilan almost lost her balance and held the handle tightly.
"Are you okay?" Huo Juncheng first checked Lin Yilan to see if she was okay, and then loosened his seat belt.
Lin Yilan shook her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Outside." He turned and got out of the car.
Looking out the car window, Lin Yilan saw a man sitting in a wheelchair. Is this... is this Chief Zhang?
She wiped her eyes, somewhat incredulous, then unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.
"What's going on? Who left Zhang Suo in the middle of the road and wanted to kill him?" she asked.
Zhang Suo sat in a wheelchair, waving at them with a silly smile, as if he had never seen them before. At this time, he had become an idiot and didn't even know where he was.
He was seriously injured, and this was the sequelae of the injury, but according to the situation, someone should be watching him, so why was he left on the road?
If the people passing by were not careful, Zhang might have been hit today. His old injuries have not yet fully recovered, and no one can guarantee that his life will be in danger if he is hit again.
"I don't know." Huo Juncheng first pushed Zhang to a safe area aside, then looked around to make sure no one was secretly observing them. He then made a phone call to have someone check the surveillance of this section of road.
After hanging up the phone, Huo Juncheng said to Lin Yilan, "Someone must have deliberately thrown him here. The motive may be to kill him, but this road is the only way for us to go home. If anything happens to him, we will definitely see it."
Hearing Huo Juncheng's words, Lin Yilan frowned.
She wondered why someone would want to kill Zhang Suo, or abandon him here, not caring whether he lived or died. Was he already an abandoned child? She thought with some fear.
After waiting for a while, Gao Long and Gao Hu rushed here after receiving Huo Juncheng's order.
"Boss, we checked the surveillance of this place and didn't find anyone bringing Chief Zhang here," said Gao Long.
How could a living person suddenly appear in the surveillance camera and in front of people for no reason?
"Impossible." Huo Juncheng glanced around at the cameras and then said, "Let's check if there are any blind spots in the surveillance here. Maybe we can find him at the next intersection. Since he can push a person in a wheelchair, the target won't be too difficult to find. Remember to put Zhang in a safe place first."
"Yes, boss." The two men obeyed and took Zhang away.
Lin Yilan was already in a bad state, and when she saw Zhang Suo being inexplicably left at the intersection, she was already distracted by all sorts of thoughts.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Although she was still uneasy, Huo Juncheng's promise was like a reassurance, and she could feel at ease no matter when and where.
After they returned home, her hands were cold, so Huo Juncheng made her a cup of hot milk. After drinking it, she seemed to have regained some warmth. Holding the cup, she smiled at Huo Juncheng.
Seeing her so distraught, Huo Juncheng knocked her head and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Get some rest. Now that things have already happened, we can only accept it."
"Yeah." She nodded. "I just thought about it. The dead cannot be resurrected. Life is short and fragile. We can't change life and death. We can only cherish the people and things in front of us."
Seeing this, Huo Juncheng said, "So..."
"So I must cherish you." She put down the cup in her hand and hugged him. "There are still many things we have to face, just like Zhang Suo today. No matter what he was like in the past, he ended up in such a pitiful state now. I don't want anyone I care about to end up like this in the future."
"Yes." Huo Juncheng suddenly lifted her up and hugged her.
Lin Yilan was a little frightened and quickly hugged his neck.
Huo Juncheng said, "Since you know all this, don't overthink it. A good night's sleep is better than anything else."
When they walked into the room, he put her down. She sat on the bed and was about to get up, but Huo Juncheng held her down.
"Let me go wash up." She said a little embarrassedly.
"Just sit there and don't move. You must be tired after crying for so long. Let me help you." With that, Huo Juncheng went towards the bathroom.
After a while, he brought a basin of water to wash her feet.
Lin Yilan blushed and refused for a long time, but was finally defeated by the evil force in front of her and was served by him obediently.
The angle she saw of him was something she had never seen before. If a man could bend down for you and block out your fatigue, that was enough.
Her eyes were slightly red and she was deeply moved.
