Chapter 14 Accident
When the fingertips touched the surface of the skin, it felt uneven and it was actually a long and narrow scar.
Shen Ci quietly withdrew his hand, and waited until Xie Yu fell asleep before he moved up along his back to feel for the scar. But he almost put his entire arm into Xie Yu's pajamas, but still couldn't touch the end of the scar.
This is a very long scar.
Shen Ci's fingertips trembled slightly, he quietly turned on the small bedside lamp, then knelt on the bed, pinched the hem of Xie Yu's clothes, and lifted up a corner of his pajamas.
In the warm yellow light of the bedside lamp, he could clearly see Xie Yu's back.
The lines of the nobleman's back were very beautiful, and his skin had a light and dense luster, like the finest satin, but the satin was crisscrossed with many scars.
There were whiplash, burns, and even knife wounds.
Over the years, these scars gradually faded in color, but were stretched out by new tender flesh, turning into large patches of brown and reddish pink, lingering on the back like stains and cracks on silk.
Shen Ci stared at them steadily, without saying a word for a long time.
Why are there these marks on Xie Yu's body?
Who is Xie Yu? He is the eldest son of the Xie family, a nobleman who is rich and noble. He eats black truffle caviar and wears Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe on weekdays. How could such a young master who was raised in a luxurious environment have such traces?
Chen Ci calmly lifted up Xie Yu's pajamas, revealing a larger area of skin. He adjusted the angle of the light, then leaned over to carefully observe the scars.
Pharmacology has experiments on scar tissue. Shen Ci has done relevant research and can roughly tell when the scar was formed, which should be more than ten years ago.
More than a decade ago, Xie Yu was still a child.
The bedside lamp in the hotel was a little dim, and the shadow of the scar was blurred. Shen Ci frowned and moved closer.
The next second, his wrist was grabbed by someone.
Shen Ci’s fingertips jumped.
Xie Yu grabbed him and turned him over, opened his eyelids, and asked lazily, "What are you doing?"
He was still drunk and had a strong nasal voice.
Shen Ci paused: "Drink water."
Xie Yu pulled down his pajamas and said with a smile, "Drinking water? Why are you lifting my clothes to drink water?"
Shen Ci: “I rubbed it when I raised my hand.”
Assistant Teacher Shen’s personality was too cool, and he was definitely not the type to strip someone’s clothes in the middle of the night, so Xie Yu didn’t suspect anything. He lay on his back on the bed, making room for Shen Ci, and complained, “You need to drink some water late at night, go ahead.”
Shen Ci slowly got out of bed, pretended to pour water and took two sips, then turned back to bed. Xie Yu held him in his arms like a large pillow, and rubbed his chin against the top of his head: "Go to sleep quickly, you still have classes tomorrow."
A dreamless night.
*
The next day, perhaps because he went to bed early yesterday, when Xie Yu woke up, Shen Ci had not left yet and was sitting at the table looking through documents.
Xie Yuban sat up and asked curiously, "You don't go to the morning class."
Every time I got up in the past, I couldn't see Shen Ciren.
Shen Ci closed the book: "Nothing happened this morning... I got some breakfast, do you want to eat?"
He pushed the plate over, which was the breakfast provided by the hotel, with all kinds of pastries, all neatly placed on the snow-white plate. Xie Yu looked at him suspiciously, got up to change his clothes, and thought to himself: "Did Shen Ci take the wrong medicine?"
Being so polite to him so early in the morning.
Who knew that the next second, Shen Ci suddenly stood up, and then the mattress sank. He sat down next to Xie Yu, reached out to take the clothes, pressed them on Xie Yu's shoulders, and said, "Let me help you change."
Xie Yu: “……?”
There was even more suspicion in his eyes, and he looked Shen Ci up and down with inquiry in his eyes. Shen Ci calmly held the clothes and let him look at them, but his eyes dropped and he didn't look at him.
Xie Yu: "Do you have something to ask me?"
He propped up his chin and said, "Tell me, what happened in the hospital? Tell me, and beg me softly. I will be in a better mood and consider helping you solve it."
Shen Ci shook his head and said it was okay, but his eyes fell on his back. It was well wrapped in pajamas, and the marks under the fabric could not be seen clearly.
Shen Ci: "According to the agreement, I should do this."
Xie Yu thought to himself that there was something fishy going on. No matter in the novel or outside the novel, when had they ever strictly followed the agreement? Young Master Xie did things according to his heart, and he could do whatever he wanted. Shen Ci was also cold as ice, and had never given the original owner a good look. But now he came up to him and wanted to help him change his clothes?
He gathered his clothes unnaturally, got out of bed to wash, and the silk fabric hung down, completely covering his back: "I don't need it, you can do the experiment after dinner, stay in school today, I have something to do later."
Xie Yu really had something to do. Xu Qingshan had already found a lawyer and finalized a donation plan to Qingshan Mental Hospital, waiting for Xie Yu to sign.
The two agreed to meet in the hotel conference room. Xu Qingshan brought a thick stack of contracts with his lawyer by his side. Xie Yu flipped through them casually and signed his name.
He signed his name cleanly and decisively, each word was as sharp as silver and as clear as iron, and full of character.
Xu Qingshan was stunned, his face full of disapproval: "You don't even want to take a look? Xiaoyu, you're easily deceived like this."
Xie Yu smiled and said, "I trust you."
Many people in the novel world correspond to reality, such as his father and Xie Yuanshan. Xu Qingshan felt friendly at first sight, and he was very much like his uncle in the real world. The two of them didn't talk much in normal times, but when something happened, his uncle always sided with him unconditionally.
After signing a thick stack of contracts, the funds will be deposited into the hospital account on the next working day. Xie Yu tapped his pen and casually asked the lawyer: "Is there any way to sell luxury goods? I want to sell some cars and watches."
The lawyers in this law firm all serve wealthy people, including some second-generation rich people whose families have fallen on hard times, and many of them sell cars and watches.
Xu Qingshan on the other side was stunned: "Selling luxury goods?"
Xie Yu smiled: "Save some money for future use."
He got a business card from the law firm that dealt in second-hand luxury goods business, and after making the contact, he returned to the hotel to count the finances.
The original owner had a home in Jiangcheng, but he had been living in a hotel for a long time. He would only go back when Xie Yuanshan came back from a business trip and specifically asked him to go home. All the luxury goods were in the hotel closet.
The system floated beside him, watching him pack up all kinds of famous watches, and was a little curious: "Why are you dealing with these things for no reason?"
Xie Yu: "I can't stay here much longer."
In the novel, Shen Ci has been hospitalized several times and needs to take antidepressants to maintain his life. The early plot is more than halfway through, and the rest of the plot can be completed in two months at a rapid pace.
Xie Yuanshan gave the original owner six months to invest, but in the novel the original owner squandered all the money within three months. Xie Yuanshan was furious and sent the original owner abroad.
Xie Yu did not squander. He fully upgraded the hardware and software of the mental hospital and asked Xu Qingshan to replace all the mattresses in the ward. He was waiting to be locked up by Shen Ci so that he could lie down comfortably and live out his old age.
It is not difficult to trace the whereabouts of the money. Xie Yuanshan will know it in a month at the latest. At the same time, he will also find out that Xie Yu had signed a foolproof agreement long ago, and the money was deposited into the hospital account and cannot be recovered. By then, Xie Yuanshan will only be angrier than in the novel and will send his son abroad faster.
Xie Yuhe thought to himself, "Once I leave the country, Xie Yuanshan will definitely torture me, control my living expenses, and make me come back to apologize to him and beg for mercy. But an apology is impossible. I will starve to death and will never apologize to him. Besides, I still want to travel."
The system was stunned: "Travel?"
Xie Yu smiled: "Since you are a second-generation rich, you have a lot of money. Why don't you go see the aurora penguins and polar bears? You can also go to Easter Island and Stonehenge for a tour..."
He said sadly: "When I return to my own world, I won't have so much money and free time."
The system looked at him, hesitant to speak, and finally said tactfully: "It's not impossible."
——He was doing a mission, but he turned it into a vacation.
After going abroad, Xie Yu completely became the background board of this book. There is no plot. This period of time is completely blank and can be used freely. The original owner was impoverished and barely made ends meet because of Xie Yuanshan's control, but Xie Yu could prepare in advance and save a fund first.
Xie Yu was thinking about this period of life and was in a very happy mood. He looked through the luxury goods of the original owner and estimated the value. The amount soon exceeded two million and was heading towards five million. As a result, while he was looking through them, a brown paper bag suddenly fell out from a pile of luxurious gift boxes with gold-plated logos, and the mouth was sealed with glue.
Xie Yu paused and picked up the bag.
The paper bag is small and unattractive. You can buy 40 of them for 10 yuan in a stationery store, but it was neatly placed among a pile of luxury goods without even a corner being folded.
The system came over: "What is this, why is it here?"
Xie Yu pinched it but didn't tear it. He just put it back and said, "I'm not selling this thing. Just leave it here."
The system was surprised: "You haven't even torn it up yet, so you're not selling it?" It circled around Xie Yu suspiciously, "Do you know what's inside?"
Due to the mapping relationship between reality and fiction, Xie Yu knows a lot of the background information but the system does not.
Xie Yu obviously didn't mean to say more. He put away the brown paper bag and said, "Please call the second-hand dealer for me."
The system hummed and dialed obediently. The phone screen lit up silently and the number was automatically entered.
Before it finished losing, a shrill ringtone rang out. Xie Yu opened the page and saw Zhou Yang.
He pressed the answer button and heard Zhou Yang's voice. It was noisy all around and he couldn't hear clearly.
Zhou Yang said, "Mr. Xie, I have something to tell you. He Zhiyuan beat someone up last night and sent Lin Yin to the hospital."
Xie Yu paused and asked, "He beat someone up, what do you want me to do? Didn't you use money to settle it?"
Zhou Yang said, "Beating someone is not a problem. The problem is beating someone in the street. The video was recorded and posted online. Now it's under investigation. He Zhiyuan didn't want to leave a criminal record, so he offered a price to settle privately, but Lin Yin was not satisfied with the price and refused to give in. So He Zhiyuan thought about finding someone he knew to persuade her and see if they could reach an agreement."
Xie Yu sneered: "If you are not satisfied, just pay more. How could his He family be short of this little money?"
Zhou Yang: "He doesn't want to tell his family, or he will be scolded by the old man and his credit card will be frozen, so he wants to settle it himself. Well, you know that he is a playboy, and his account is not well-off. Anyway, there are not many people who know He Zhiyuan and Lin Yin at the same time, only you, me, and Shen Ci. It's useless for me to persuade them, you can bring Shen Ci along to persuade them and see if it works."
Xie Yu said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, okay."
He thought to himself that he deserved it. He had disliked He Zhiyuan for a long time, but the original owner's character was a rich second-generation man who valued brotherhood. Since Zhou Yang had asked, he really had to go.
Xie Yu sent a message to Shen Ci, asking someone to rush over, and then drove straight to the hospital.
Lin Yin's ward was on the third floor VIP. Xie Yu went up to the third floor and saw Zhou Yang sitting at the door of the ward in a daze from a distance in the corridor.
Xie Yu asked: "Why are you so far away?"
Zhou Yang: "In the police station."
Xie Yu: “.”
He said, "Lin Yin is inside. I will go and persuade Lin Yin."
Xie Yu pushed open the door, determined to say a few polite words, sit and delay time, and then tell He Zhiyuan "You can't persuade him, so hurry up and prepare the money." As a result, as soon as he entered, Shen Ci arrived.
Assistant Professor Shen came hurriedly from the school. He walked very fast, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he did not take off his white lab coat. The corners of his coat fluttered with his steps, giving him a rather cold and abstinent vibe.
Seeing Zhou Yang standing at the door, he froze, his tone tense, and he was indescribably nervous: "Who's in the hospital?"
Xie Yu reported the ward number but didn't tell him what happened.
Zhou Yang was stunned: "Lin Yin is in the hospital... Assistant Professor Shen, you came here?"
Shen Ci's white coat was blown into a mess, and his hair was a little disheveled. His straight eyebrows were furrowed, and his face was slightly worried. The sweat reflected the incandescent light, reflecting the luster of glass.
Zhou Yang looked strange: "No, Assistant Shen, even if Xie Yu is in the hospital, why are you running?"
Shen Ci’s steps froze.
The author has something to say:
Chen Ci: Testing, worry, and a little bit of inexplicable throbbing.
Xie Yu: Packing things, reading travel guides, preparing to run away.
