Chapter 145 It's so dark, I can't see.
The doctor treated the wound on Shi Nianzhi's forehead. "It's a bit serious. You need to come back tomorrow for a dressing change and to check on the recovery."
Shi Nianzhi was obedient and had no objections.
He had a bandage on his head and was walking back.
Lu Jiunian stood in the corridor outside Shi Er's ward, looking as if he was deliberately waiting for him.
Shi Nianzhi walked towards Lu Jiunian step by step. In fact, there was nothing left for them to say to each other.
But when standing next to Lu Jiunian, Shi Nianzhi still said, "It was Gu Zijian who recommended me."
"The surveillance cameras captured everything clearly. Even now, you still don't know how to repent?"
"Why should I repent if I did nothing wrong? The one who committed all the evil deeds is Gu Zijian; he is the one who should repent!"
After Shi Nianzhi finished speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly, he ignored Lu Jiunian.
Instead, he knocked on the glass for looking through.
Shi Er turned his head to look over.
Shi Nianzhi gestured "walk" and then "phone".
Shi Er didn't say anything, but picked up the phone next to him.
A while later, Shi Nianzhi received a message: "Take the main road, go to a proper hotel, and lock the door."
Shi Er wanted Shi Nianzhi to rest because he felt sorry for him, as he was working hard guarding the corridor like this.
But I'm also afraid that Shi Nianzhi might have an accident like last time.
Shi Nianzhi nodded, indicating that he was okay.
Another new message came in on WeChat: "What happened to your forehead?"
Shi Nian subconsciously touched the gauze bag with her hand. It wasn't a big deal, since it was only a small area, but it was still quite noticeable.
Shi Er noticed it immediately and asked with concern and tact.
Lu Jiunian acted as if he hadn't seen anything, and didn't ask him how badly he was injured or how much pain he had felt from the fall.
Shi Nianzhi forced a smile. Now that things had come to this, what hope could he still have for Lu Jiunian?
Lu Jiunian stood where Shi Er couldn't see him.
When Shi Nianzhi passed by, he reached out and gripped her arm tightly with his knuckles. "If you have any conscience left, turn yourself in now, and I can get you a lawyer."
"Why did you hire a lawyer for me?"
"I'll reduce your sentence by a few years."
Shi Nianzhi forcefully shook off Lu Jiunian's hand. "I said I didn't do it, and that's it. Even the police know there's insufficient evidence. Don't you know that?"
"Don't try to take advantage of the lack of evidence and think I won't dare to do anything to you."
"That's enough, I'm really tired, my head feels like it's going to split open. Go find your Gu Zijian, don't bother me here."
Shi Nianzhi rubbed his temples and quickly left.
All he wants right now is to get a room, get a good night's sleep, and not think about anything else.
He's already in enough trouble.
Lu Jiunian's eyes gradually turned cold. Since Shi Nianzhi was so ungrateful, then he wouldn't be polite.
He made a call to his assistant and said, "Get started."
Shi Nianzhi had just stepped out of the hospital. Since it wasn't dark yet, he deliberately chose to walk on the main road.
The trees and the ground were covered in snow, and even the breath they exhaled was misty. Shi Nianzhi was so cold on the road that he put his hands in his pockets.
He looked up at Vienna across the street. Shi Er had told him to find a safer place, and Vienna was the only one nearby that looked high-end and classy.
"Sizzle—"
Suddenly a car braked sharply and stopped next to him.
Shi Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly recalled the harrowing night at the train station. He turned and ran, not thinking about anything else.
Just as he was about to run out of the road, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck.
Then I lost consciousness.
When Nianzhi woke up again, it was pitch black all around her, and she couldn't see anything.
Is anyone there?
Shi Nianzhi shouted, but no one responded.
He couldn't see anything; it was too dark around him, so dark he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.
Shi Nianzhi then reached out and touched it with his hands.
After walking around, he roughly knew what the situation was like. It was a square room with walls on three sides and an iron railing on one side. It was pitch black outside, and he had no idea how big it was.
The room was empty and dark, with nothing in it.
There was a wooden bucket in the corner, probably for him to use as a toilet.
There wasn't a single ray of light.
Who knocked him unconscious and locked him up here?
All his belongings were taken away.
Is anyone there?
Shi Nianzhi shouted again, then asked, "Who arrested me? This is illegal! Call the police after I get out, and none of you will escape! Let me out now!"
No one responded to him.
Shi Nianzhi huddled in the corner, hugging his knees. In the pitch black, he couldn't feel the passage of time.
He was very sleepy, so he fell asleep again, only to be woken up by the cold.
Shi Nianzhi hugged his knees and patted the iron bars again, asking if anyone was there.
No one responded to him, which amplified Shi Nianzhi's panic infinitely.
Could he be dead?
Even if someone wants to arrest him, he should at least say something.
Shi Nianzhi was locked up for three days, and his throat became hoarse from shouting. In the end, he broke down and started biting his nails and tearing at his hair. His mental defenses were crumbling little by little.
Is he going to be locked up here for the rest of his life?
He could still feel the pain, so he must not be dead. He could also feel a thick scab on the wound on his forehead.
Since he didn't die, will someone come to rescue him?
Shi Er, yes, Shi Er will definitely call the police when he finds out he's missing.
The third night.
Someone came over with a flashlight, carrying a bowl of rice and a glass of water.
The bodyguard had barely put the food down when Shi Nianzhi picked it up and started eating; he was just too hungry and thirsty.
He practically wolfed down his food. No matter what, he had to live. Li Zhi and Shi Dazhuang were still waiting for him, and Shi Er would definitely come to save him.
All he needs to do is live, and live well.
Shi Nianzhi finished the glass of water in one gulp. He looked at the bodyguard with a flashlight through the iron bars and asked, "Who brought me here?"
The bodyguard didn't say much, only telling Shi Nianzhi, "You did something wrong and were locked up here to reflect. When you figure things out and understand what you should do, you will be released."
Shi Nianzhi looked at the bodyguard, "Did Gu Zijian arrest me? Does he know this is illegal?"
The bodyguard stood up and shone a flashlight on Shi Nianzhi's face, saying, "The sooner you figure it out, the less suffering you'll endure."
"I did not commit a crime, you are the ones who committed the crime. Release me immediately, or I will not let this go."
"Unrepentant."
The bodyguard collected the bowls and cups and left.
When Shi Nianzhi first didn't know who had captured him, he struggled and was terrified. Now that he knows it was Gu Zijian, Shi Nianzhi is much more at ease.
It's just a matter of enduring; he'll always manage to hold on until the second person comes to his rescue.
On the seventh day, the person who saved Shi Nianzhi arrived.
It wasn't Shi Er, but Lu Bing. He ran over with a flashlight and keys to open the door for Shi Nianzhi.
Shi Nianzhi was already somewhat dazed from being locked up. He saw Lu Bing open the door, come over, pull his arm, and help him up.
His lips were cracked and bleeding, but he still asked softly, "Where is Shi Er?"
"Shi Er is also looking for you everywhere, but he is still injured, so I told him to go back and rest first. Besides, he can't get in here anyway."
Without much thought, Shi Nianzhi, feeling weak and powerless, was helped forward by Lu Bing.
"Gu Zijian arrested me and called the police."
Lu Bing paused for a moment, then said, "Is Lu Jiunian afraid to admit what he did?"
Shi Nianzhi asked in surprise, "What?"
Lu Bing sneered, "Who do you think was the one who locked you up for so many days? It was your ex-husband, Lu Jiunian. Gu Zijian wasn't involved in this from beginning to end. He did it to show off his boyfriend skills in front of Gu Zijian. He did this simply to make you turn yourself in and pay for Old Madam Gu's life."
Shi Nianzhi remained silent for a long time.
When Lu Bing led Shi Nianzhi out, the sun was shining down, and Shi Nianzhi hadn't even had a chance to take a look at the world where the snow had melted.
Suddenly, the scene before my eyes flashed, and then everything went black.
Shi Nianzhi's eyes widened, and he gripped Lu Bing's arm tightly. "What's wrong with me? I can't see anything! It's so dark. Is something blocking my eyes? Please help me take a look."
Shi Nianzhi's anxious and uneasy voice.
Lu Bing stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Shi Nianzhi's eyes.
He looked into Shi Nianzhi's eyes again and found nothing unusual. Apart from the lack of light in her eyes, there was no bleeding or other problems, not even any red blood vessels.
They have such clean, almond-shaped eyes.
"Don't scare me. I could see it just now, and I even heard you tell me to be careful of the pebbles on the steps."
"I have no idea......"
Shi Nianzhi cried out in panic, rubbing his eyes with his hands, so hard.
Lu Bing grabbed his wrist. "Stop rubbing it. I'll take you to see an ophthalmologist. This way, get in the car, we'll go see an ophthalmologist right away."
Hospital.
After a series of examinations, the doctor leaned back in his chair, looking at Shi Nianzhi with a puzzled expression. "You really can't see? But there's nothing wrong with your eyes. Why don't you get a brain CT scan to see if there's any blood clots or anything like that? Maybe it's a nerve problem."
Lu Bing quickly took Shi Nianzhi to take photos again.
The neurosurgeon held Shi Nianzhi's CT scan up to the light and said, "Looking at it this way, there's nothing wrong."
"But he can't see."
Lu Bing felt that Shi Nianzhi's demeanor was not at all feigned.
Shi Nianzhi sat quietly in the chair, seemingly indifferent to everything, but the way he gripped his pants tightly betrayed his anxiety.
The neurosurgeon placed the CT scan on the table. "Has he experienced any trauma?"
Lu Bing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Before he came to the hospital, he fell into a wine cellar. It was pitch black inside, and he stayed there for several days before being rescued. Is that related? Can your eyes go blind if you stay in the dark for too long?"
"No, I don't."
"Then him!"
Before Lu Bing could finish speaking, the doctor's voice slowed and became calm, "It's a psychological problem. You should take him to see a psychologist. If I'm not mistaken, his blindness is a result of traumatic stress."
"Would that be a good thing?"
"Psychological problems are something that will naturally resolve themselves once you come to terms with them. However, some people get stuck in them their whole lives."
