Self-rescue?
Xu Zhaozhao pondered the two words carefully in her mind, and was speechless for a moment.
Excuse me.
Taking advantage of her momentary daze, Chi Li quickly ran away.
Xu Zhaozhao did not enter the ward. Instead, she sat in the hospital corridor, staring blankly at the Buddhist prayer beads on her wrist.
Seeing the scars on the man's hands, she assumed it was a sign of self-harm.
This guy's illness is not that simple.
My heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand, and the smell of disinfectant permeating the hospital was also very pungent.
Xu Zhaozhao frowned slightly.
She was still wearing that somewhat heavy cake dress, and she had broken out in a light sweat from rushing around. Now she felt sticky and uncomfortable all over.
She needs to go back to the hotel.
Thinking about it, he took out his phone and sent a message to Sister Yan, asking her and Gu Yulin to come to the hospital entrance.
Sister Yan: I've been waiting for you at the door for half an hour.
Sister Yan: It's your son's request, I wouldn't dare mess with him.
Upon seeing the message from Sister Yan, Xu Zhaozhao's fingers paused slightly before she quickly walked downstairs.
Although Yan Jie's car was parked in the parking space, the lights were never turned off.
She pulled open the back seat and got in, wrapped her arms around Gu Yulin's neck, and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
"My dearest baby, Mommy has missed you so much!"
Gu Yulin's eyes darted away somewhat unnaturally, her earlobes turned red, and her small hands pushed against Xu Zhaozhao, half-heartedly.
They haven't seen each other for just over an hour, why are they kissing right away...?
Mom is so clingy!
"Mom, have some candy."
He handed the strawberry candy he was clutching in his small hand to Xu Zhaozhao, avoiding her gaze.
He was worried that his mother was too tired from working at the hospital and had low blood sugar, so he bought several strawberry candies when he passed by the convenience store.
Xu Zhaozhao took it, tore open the packaging, and put it in her mouth.
It was very sweet; the strawberry flavor she loved spread throughout her mouth, dispelling the slight gloom in her heart.
Xu Zhaozhao took the opportunity to hug Gu Yulin, resting her head on his shoulder, her voice muffled.
"It's so delicious, it's so good to have a baby."
Gu Yulin froze for a moment, then hugged Xu Zhaozhao back, patting her back casually with his small hand, as if to comfort her.
Yan Jie witnessed the whole thing: ...
I really wanted to smash my rearview mirror to pieces.
The journey wasn't far, and after a long day, all I wanted to do was collapse on the sofa.
Gu Yulin walked up to her, took all the strawberry candies out of his pocket, and stuffed them into Xu Zhaozhao's arms.
"Mom, you eat. I'm going to take a shower first."
With that, he turned and rushed into the bathroom.
If I had taken another step slower, my mom would have grabbed me and kissed me...
Xu Zhaozhao looked at the pile of candy, including lollipops and hard candy, and her heart was filled with emotion.
bite.
My phone received another text message.
Chi Li: Grandma, I just realized you weren't here. Remember to be back within two hours. This guy is resistant to sedatives; I'm afraid he'll wake up and, if he doesn't see you, he'll turn the hospital upside down…
Xu Zhaozhao: Okay.
The strawberry candy in my mouth suddenly didn't taste good anymore.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom. When she transmigrated, Gu Yulin was already able to take care of himself. She never had to worry about bathing, dressing, or eating.
She's such a little angel.
Xu Zhaozhao placed the candy in her arms on the coffee table, but her hand accidentally touched the remote control of the hotel TV.
She hasn't watched TV in a long time, and now she doesn't want to look at her phone at all.
Since I was bored anyway, I picked up the remote control, pressed the switch, and turned on the TV.
"This morning, on the streets of Huadu, a man..."
Upon hearing that standard news broadcasting voice, Xu Zhaozhao immediately realized it was "Xinwen Lianbo" (the nightly news program on CCTV).
I pressed the remote control and switched to another TV channel.
Next up is "Legal Report," the one after that is "Morning News," and the one after that is "News 30 Minutes"...
The hotel's TV was also strangely unregulated...
These days, it's so hard to find an animated film to watch!
Xu Zhaozhao gave up struggling.
The announcer's voice kept drilling into her ears, the pronunciation was so standard and clear that she couldn't help but understand it even if she didn't want to.
"Welcome to the Evening News. Around 8 p.m. last night, a man in his sixties died suddenly on Fuxing Avenue in Beijing, and his cell phone flew ten meters away."
Xu Zhaozhao's gaze swept across the television screen, where the face of an old woman with a pained expression and her neck blurred appeared.
Her movements stopped abruptly.
Who else could this be but Aunt Su?!
The scene cut to the 'phone that flew ten meters away,' which was exactly the same as the broken phone that Aunt Su was holding, so Xu Zhaozhao was basically certain.
According to eyewitnesses, a man in black swiftly plunged a sharp knife into the man's carotid artery and then quickly left, disappearing without a trace.
"No family members have claimed the elderly person yet. We urge any family members who see this news to contact the program immediately. The investigation into the perpetrator is ongoing, and 'Evening News' will continue to follow this case..."
Before she could find any trace of Aunt Su, Aunt Su suddenly died on the street.
Aunt Su deserved to die, but the bloody way she did it makes it hard not to suspect that someone was trying to cover her mouth.
Is it Qin Yueling?
She didn't receive a single word about it on Weibo; it was only reported on television programs.
Qin Yueling is quite resourceful. Even if this case is investigated further and the murderer is found, it will definitely not be her.
Xu Zhaozhao curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
I opened WeChat and found Xia Huai's chat box.
Just as I was about to send her a message, the person on the other end seemed to have a telepathic connection and sent her a message first.
Xia Huai: It's done, it's a success. [Laughs sheepishly]
Xia Huai: I sent the stuff directly to the marketing accounts. You should look away from this kind of stuff.
Shh: [cuddling and kissing.gif]
Shhh: I'm so excited! Tomorrow's Weibo post is going to be amazing! [wink]
Xia Huai: But I can tell you the truth. That guy is a three-second man, I don't know how many tricks he plays, his tail is like this.
Xia Huai: [Disdain.jpg]
Shh: ...You shouldn't watch this kind of stuff.
Now I understand why I deleted my chat history with my best friend.
Look at this, look at this! Is there even a single sentence in this chat that could be shared online?
Xu Zhaozhao had just turned off the TV when Gu Yulin came out of the bathroom wearing his pajamas.
His short, black hair was wet, and his light pink pajamas made his skin look even whiter. He stared intently at Xu Zhaozhao.
Xu Zhaozhao followed him into the bathroom and took a comfortable shower.
Instead of returning that heavy cake dress, the summer evenings in Huadu were just the right amount of cool.
A tank top and a pair of trousers, just right.
Gu Yulin was really engrossed in reading; her wet hair had already dried itself, leaving it smooth and shiny.
Xu Zhaozhao stole a kiss from his cheek.
"Mommy is going to the hospital to take care of a friend. How about you sleep by yourself tonight, my little fish?"
Gu Yulin did not answer immediately. He lowered his eyes and his gaze was no longer focused on the book.
"Is Mom going to see Gu Qingyan?"
