Chapter 33 Inside Story
Zhang Cui shooed Song Lubai to go to sleep, but when Song Lubai actually pulled her head back, Zhang Cui said again, "Come out here, I have something to ask you."
The events of today seemed so strange, and Zhang Cui couldn't sleep until she got to the bottom of it.
In the water room at the end of the corridor, Zhang Cui stared at Song Lubai, "What's wrong with you today? Why did you go to the countryside for no reason?"
Her daughter's unusual behavior began when she heard news about Li Guangming at a department store.
Song Lubai didn't hide anything and said directly, "I had a dream that Li Guangming died in a car accident. I thought it was just a dream, but my heart was pounding today, so I wanted to go see if it was real..."
Zhang Cui looked doubtful after hearing this. She didn't dare to believe Song Lubai's words, but she couldn't find any other explanation.
To prevent her family from rushing to introduce her to potential partners after the Li Guangming incident, Song Lubai took precautions in advance, saying, "I dreamt that two of my fiancés would get into trouble."
Zhang Cui: "...!"
Zhang Cui: "What's going on here? You're not just making this up, are you?"
You were just kidding her, right? That sounds so absurd.
Song Lubai recalled the second and third dreams, what were their names again? And what were their professions?
She should remember.
"I don't remember what his name was, but his family is well-off. Mom, I won't make things up about this. Just be careful in the future. If it really is like my dream, I'll have three fiancés die in a row, and I won't be able to get married until I'm thirty."
Zhang Cui spat and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! Alright, go to sleep."
Whether it's nonsense or not, Zhang Cui is now taking it seriously.
Song Lubai didn't even know how she fell asleep. She felt cold in the middle of the night, and the sound of rain outside made her vaguely aware that it was raining.
When I woke up in the morning, the rain hadn't stopped, and my nose and mouth smelled of earth.
The Lin brothers didn't have to go to school today, but seeing that Song Lubai was still sleeping, they woke her up.
Song Lubai sat up with a long face, "You two want to get beaten up!"
Lin Jianshe: "Sis, where did you go yesterday without taking us?"
Lin Heping: "Sis, I don't want to eat porridge. Can you get up and make me a pancake?"
The twins' words dispelled her unease from yesterday and brought Song Lubai a greater sense of reality.
Song Lubai's mother and Lin Dahai both went to their respective factories. After the twins finished eating, they went outside to play with others, leaving Song Lubai alone at home, sitting there lost in thought.
At 11 a.m., Wei Yang arrived at the door with officers from the police station, and the bicycle that Song Lubai had borrowed from Lin Shuhong was returned.
She asked eagerly, "How is it? Is Li Guangming alright?"
Wei Yang said slowly, "Comrade Song, don't worry. Comrade Li is out of danger. He woke up once two hours ago and has already given a statement to the police."
Song Lubai's expression visibly relaxed.
It's good that the person didn't die.
Not dying means her dream can be changed.
"Comrade Song, this is Comrade Zhao from your city's police station, and this is Comrade Li from Chaoyang Commune. They are here to find out what happened yesterday. Don't be nervous, just tell the truth. This is my work ID. Last night, things were urgent, so I didn't tell you my workplace."
Song Lubai glanced at the work badge Wei Yang held up, which showed his position as the captain of a military unit in a neighboring province. She looked at Wei Yang again, nodded, and poured water for the three of them.
The police officers at the station asked questions about what happened last night, and Song Lubai didn't hide anything.
Aside from the reason she was sent to the countryside, she had nothing she wanted to hide.
The two police officers exchanged a glance, and one of them, having carefully chosen his words, asked, "Song Lubai, did you really not have any plans with anyone when you went to the countryside yesterday?"
Song Lubai looked surprised. "Who did you make an appointment with? Even going to the countryside was a sudden whim. If I weren't unfamiliar with the roads there, I wouldn't have almost gotten lost by dark. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Police officer: "According to our understanding, Li Guangming seems to be looking for a match with you. He said that he went to the countryside yesterday because you told Liu Xingchun to invite him to the countryside to meet, because it would be bad if word got out that it didn't work out in the city."
Song Lubai's eyes widened.
She guessed that Li Guangming's trip to the countryside must be related to Liu Mei, but she never expected that she was also involved.
Song Lu shook her head like a rattle drum. "I never had anyone pass on a message to him. Even if there was a matchmaking arrangement, it was arranged by my family. My mother said the matchmaking location was at Director Wang's house at the food factory. Oh dear, how could he believe what others said and run off to the countryside? Officer, was his car accident an accident or was it intentional?"
The police and Wei Yang believed that Song Lubai was not among those who plotted against Li Guangming.
Because Song Lubai was the one who saved people.
Wei Yang believed he could tell whether an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl was lying to him.
Song Lubai's expression told him that she was not lying.
But he still had some doubts.
Song Lubai inexplicably took her aunt's child to the countryside, and she always felt that the reason was not so simple.
The three exchanged glances but remained silent, which made Song Lubai anxious: "What is it that you can't say? This matter involves me. I just want to know what happened. Was Li Guangming's car accident an accident or was it intentional?"
The police officer stood up and said, "We came here today to confirm what happened yesterday. What we learned from you is consistent with what Li Guangming said. Comrade Song, thank you for your cooperation. Let's call it a day."
The three of them were about to get up, and Song Lubai was so anxious that she wanted to scratch her head.
Don't go! Explain yourself before you leave. Who are those five people?
"You've worked hard, have some more water before you go."
Wei Yang stood at the door, holding it closed, and said, "Yesterday's clothes were dirty. I'll bring them over after they're washed. Thank you for yesterday. The bicycle is parked downstairs, perfectly fine."
At this moment, Song Lubai had no idea about the clothes and bicycle. "Comrade Wei, I just want to know what happened yesterday. Can you tell me?"
Wei Yang: "Li Guangming has been transferred back to the city hospital. Go and see him. There are some things we can't say too much about. Comrade Li was afraid of implicating you, so he sent his parents and relatives out when he provided information to the police."
Song Lubai frowned, looked up and asked, "So your two companions were alright yesterday, right?"
This person was incredibly tall; when he stood up, he was a head and a half taller than her.
Wei Yang shook his head, "It's all fine."
After watching the person go downstairs, Song Lubai turned around, locked the door, and rushed to the hospital without stopping.
Although the hospital is not large, you have to ask the medical staff to find out which ward you are in.
When Song Lubai was looking for someone, the familiar face of Aunt Li, with her slightly furrowed brows, suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Didn't your sister-in-law get discharged from the hospital? Why are you here?"
Before she could reply, she asked with a stern face, "Did Guangming go to the village yesterday because of you?"
Aunt Li's eyes were full of dissatisfaction with her.
Suppressing her discomfort, Song Lubai said, "I don't know what he's doing in the countryside. I only know that if I hadn't run into him on the way yesterday and a car hadn't happened to pass by, he would have been in trouble."
