decision
The roar of the engine mixed with the sound of the wind, and the frightened yaks ran around in panic.
When Lin Jingming realized something was wrong and turned around, the off-road vehicle had already approached Xia Zhitang within four meters.
There was no time to think about it. By the time he reacted, he had already rushed over and knocked Xia Zhitang down.
As the world spun, Xia Zhitang vaguely heard Lin Jingming shout, "Hold on tight."
When the two of them stabilized at the bottom of the hillside, Xia Zhitang found that he was held tightly in Lin Jingming's arms. Apart from feeling dizzy, he did not feel any discomfort.
She looked up and saw Lin Jingming closing his eyes in pain, and her heart sank.
Xia Zhitang wanted to stand up, but Lin Jingming subconsciously held her tightly.
"It's okay. Let me see where you're injured first." Xia Zhitang's voice trembled.
Lin Jingming's glasses were lost in the turmoil just now. He squinted his eyes and focused on Xia Zhitang's anxious face. He shook his head and slowly let go.
Xia Zhitang climbed out of his arms quietly and checked that he was still conscious. He quickly recalled the first aid knowledge he had learned in his mind: "Does it hurt? Do you feel dizzy or nauseous?"
Lin Jingming shook his head slightly with a pale face, and Xia Zhitang's heart was slightly relieved.
"Let me check your neck." Xia Zhitang gently held up Lin Jingming's head. After confirming that his neck was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, I'll call 120 first."
When she pulled her hand out, she found a little blood on her palm. Her heart stopped for a moment, and she forced herself to calm down. With shaking hands, she dialed the emergency number and reported the address and some details.
The herdsmen were already running toward them, and Xia Zhitang realized that the SUV that had inexplicably crashed into them had been driven to the bottom of the slope ahead, still emitting gray dust. The tall male host twisted and cursed the struggling Su Wen as he walked them toward the intersection.
Xia Zhitang looked at Lin Jingming with a complicated expression, and took off his sun-protection jacket to pad the back of his injured head.
Lin Jingming turned around and saw Su Wen tied up by the herdsmen, struggling to get up.
"Don't move." Xia Zhitang held the man down, "Take care of your own life first."
In the distance, Su Wen was shouting and yelling, sometimes she was clamoring to kill Xia Zhitang, sometimes she was calling Lin Jingming a scumbag and a heartless man, and sometimes she was crying and begging Lin Jingming for mercy, saying that she just loved him too much.
Lin Jingming used the corner of Xia Zhitang's clothes to cover his face, hiding all his expressions and thoughts.
The police car and ambulance arrived almost at the same time. When the police asked them if they knew the driver, Lin Jingming pursed his lips and remained silent.
"They are a divorced couple, and he and I are colleagues." Seeing that Lin Jingming was really reluctant to speak, Xia Zhitang had to answer for him: "This lady misunderstood that I had an improper relationship with her ex-husband."
Lin Jingming turned his face away, wanting very much to escape from this embarrassing situation. Fortunately, the police had no intention of making things difficult for them and asked them to go to the hospital to check their injuries first.
Xia Zhitang and Lin Jingming breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.
In the emergency room, Lin Jingming was taken in for a systematic examination. Fortunately, there was nothing serious wrong with him. He was released after his wound was bandaged and disinfected.
He fretted and took out a cigarette at the hospital entrance, but Xia Zhitang held him down: "Smoking is prohibited in the hospital."
"Why does she insist on having me?" Lin Jingming leaned weakly against the wall, holding the cigarette.
"Have you had a good talk with her?" Xia Zhitang sighed and handed him a bottle of mineral water with the cap loosened.
Lin Jingming took the mineral water and drank a few mouthfuls: "I said it, but it's useless."
"Have you figured out how to deal with this?"
Lin Jingming sighed and looked up at the flickering light tube on the ceiling: "I've had enough."
The medicine window began to announce Lin Jingming's name. Xia Zhitang took out the medicine list and patted his arm: "I'll go get the medicine first."
Lin Jingming looked at Xia Zhitang's back and finally made up his mind. He slowly took out his cell phone and called Cheng Shubai.
It was already afternoon when Xia Zhitang and Lin Jingming arrived at the police station. The lawyer was already waiting for them at the door with a briefcase.
The local man named Luosang briefly introduced the current situation to them. Su Wen was extremely uncooperative with the investigation at the police station, and shouted that this was a marital conflict between them and she should not be detained.
Lin Jingming asked how much evidence he had now.
Xia Zhitang didn't want to get involved in Lin Jingming's personal affairs, even though it almost put her in danger. But seeing that he was subconsciously looking at her, Xia Zhitang felt that there was no need to care about it. So she walked away quietly, letting Lin Jingming discuss with the lawyer.
She sat on a chair in the hall, pulled out her phone, and replied to Gu Zian's WeChat message. She hesitated for a moment, then told Gu Zian that she would be producing the sequel to "Blue Luan Jie" but concealed the complicated cause and effect of the matter.
After a while, Gu Zian’s specially made emoticon package popped up on the phone.
Xia Zhitang couldn't help but smile when she saw the animated picture of him blowing a kiss to her while holding the flowers.
The light from the phone was suddenly blocked by a blue-gray shadow. Xia Zhitang looked up and saw Lin Jingming standing in front of her.
"Come in with me." Lin Jingming's expression was a little gloomy. Xia Zhitang inexplicably felt that the man in front of him suddenly looked a little haggard.
Lin Jingming looked at Xia Zhitang, feeling unusually uneasy. Normally, he should have handled this kind of scandal quietly, but for some reason, he just wanted her to be by his side.
Xia Zhitang's expression turned serious. In fact, she herself had not figured out how to face Su Wen and Lin Jingming, but when she saw Lin Jingming's slightly trembling fingertips, she softened her heart.
In the mediation room, Su Wen was still picking at her diamond nail polish: "I've heard it's altitude sickness that makes me dizzy, but isn't it just the steering wheel slipping?"
When she saw Lin Jingming, her eyes lit up: "Old Lin, quickly explain to them that we are a couple having a conflict!"
Lin Jingming ignored her and held the door sideways to let Xia Zhitang and Sang Luo in.
Su Wen saw Xia Zhitang kicking the stool in anger and was warned directly.
Sang Luo stepped forward and handed over the matter in a low voice, leaving the three of them to talk alone.
Su Wen slammed the table and roared, "What do you mean?"
Lin Jingming pulled out his phone and flipped through the photo album: "Lisa, Anna, Susan..." He scrolled through the photos of various women, "Is this enough to prove that I'm promiscuous?"
Then he opened WeChat and called up a girl's voice, all of which were soft and sweet, "Honey, I miss you so much, when will you come over tonight?", "Honey, I bought your favorite black stockings..."
The more Su Wen listened, the gloomier her expression became. She suddenly snatched his phone and threw it to the ground: "Enough! You clearly said you would love me forever!"
"I've said the same thing to twenty investors." Lin Jingming, like a lifeless plaster statue, continued emotionlessly amid Su Wen's screams, "If your last name wasn't Su, I would never marry you in my life."
With a "slap", Su Wen slapped Lin Jingming in the face.
Lin Jingming tilted his face, and his smile became more gorgeous and decadent.
He pulled Xia Zhitang, who was standing behind him in an awkward position, over to him and said, "Your ex-husband loves to steal other people's girls. The more she resists, the more motivated I am."
Xia Zhitang wanted to pull his hand away, but Lin Jingming pulled it to his lips and kissed the back of his hand.
Before Xia Zhitang had time to get angry, he was shocked by the incessant screams and sounds of smashing and smashing in his ears - Su Wen entered a state of manic collapse.
The people outside the door finally couldn't hold back and rushed in one after another to control Su Wen.
Only then did Xia Zhitang feel that Lin Jingming's cold hands were shaking violently. She sighed, but ultimately did not shake him off.
At this moment, Su Wen no longer had the arrogant and overbearing look she had when they first met. Now her hair was disheveled, her tears and snot made her look like a dirty ink painting.
"Is it worth it?" Xia Zhitang asked Su Wen who was sitting on the ground crying.
"What do you know? They don't love me, only he, he is willing to coax me!" Su Wen, who was controlled, sat on the ground and cried.
"Other people's love is worthless." Xia Zhitang took out a tissue and handed it over, but Su Wen slapped it away.
Xia Zhitang shook his head, turned around and pulled Lin Jingming out of the noisy mediation room.
As soon as he walked out of the mediation room, Xia Zhitang shook off Lin Jingming's hand and asked him coldly: "What are your plans?"
Lin Jingming took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and looked at the setting sun outside the window with melancholy: "First, get the evidence of the car accident, and then negotiate with her mother to send her abroad."
"I'm flying to Chengdu tomorrow night, don't see me off."
"If I had met you first..."
"There are no ifs." She ruthlessly considered Lin Jingming's sentimental assumptions, "Xia Zhitang back then couldn't attract you."
Lin Jingming was stunned for a long while before he whispered, "It's me who implicated you this time."
"Okay, I'm not needed here anymore. I'll go back and collect your equipment and appease the herdsmen." Xia Zhitang didn't want to argue with him about this matter anymore.
Lin Jingming rubbed his nose tiredly: "You can do whatever you want, and then ask me to reimburse you."
"Give me the keys and I'll drive you back to the B&B."
"Thank you."
Lin Jingming stared at Xia Zhitang's back until he disappeared around the corner...
At night, Xia Zhitang copied the materials shot during the day at the B&B hotel.
In a series of materials, she saw Lin Jingming secretly filming herself with a camera and concentrating on framing the scene, and a sour feeling spread in her heart.
Xia Zhitang turned off the video frame and began to daydream as he looked at the starry sky outside the window.
After an unknown amount of time, the ringing of the phone brought her back to reality, and Cheng Shubai's name was jumping on the screen.
"What happened to Lao Lin? He didn't answer my calls!" Cheng Shubai's voice was filled with worry.
"I had a fight with Su Wen this afternoon, and they're probably still arguing now."
"Tsk, I should have told him to stop being so indecisive." Cheng Shubai's voice was a little excited. "After all these years, don't you understand the Su family's temperament? They really haven't suffered enough!"
"What's going on between him and Su Wen?" Xia Zhitang interrupted Cheng Shubai's chatter, "Su Wen treats him abnormally."
"What else could it be? An illegitimate daughter who was picked up halfway and in an awkward situation is treating him as a lifeline." Cheng Shubai scoffed at the other end of the phone, "He deserves it!"
Xia Zhitang sighed, hesitated for a moment, and said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Don't tell Zi'an about what happened here."
"You guys..." Cheng Shubai on the other end of the phone was at a loss for words.
After a while, Cheng Shubai sighed and muttered softly, "Everyone is an ancestor."
