There are several cameras in the crosswalk of Guanning Road. It’s impossible that Baoer’s accident was not recorded.
It is only several days after Baoer’s accident. Who can take the video away so soon? There must be some secrets in it.
“Rui, did the traffic police say who took the video away?”
“The traffic police said that it was taken away by a government official. As regards the reason, they didn’t mention any details.”
Xia Ning is confused, wondering whether the man who hit Baoer has got some relation with the government.
“The Deputy Director of the Urban Construction Bureau required us to give him a response. Now, the evidence is taken away. It is a little complicated without evidences.” Xia Ning strokes her head, “Well, I will call the Deputy Director and tell him what happened…”
“Wait.” Yi Yunrui remembers something and dials a number, “Zeyou, this is Yi Yunrui. Can you do me a favor? I owe you one.”
Seeing Su Wen come to them in this way, Li Baoer’s parents glance at each other, wondering what happened.“Assistant Su, we don’t understand. What do you mean by investigating the video in the internet? My daughter has been in hospital for two days and she didn’t access the internet.” Li Baoer’s father politely asks.Su Wen lifts his glasses, “Mr. Li, I am sorry for what happened to Miss Li. But someone spread a video about Miss Li in the internet. The video is considered to be illegal. Since it brought wide influence, the government set an exclusive team to investigate on it. We hope that Mr. and Mrs. Li and Miss Li can cooperate with us to work on it.”The father looks at the mother. The mother says, “Assistant Su, you also know that my daughter has just finished the operation. She really knows nothing about what happened outside…”“Mr. and Mrs. Li, you may watch this video first.” Su Wen says and he puts the laptop in front of t
Hearing what Su Wen said, Li Baoer’s father darkens his face, “Assistant Su, what do you mean?”“Nothing. I just want to give you advice.” Su Wen slowly puts the agreement into his file bag, “I just want to suggest you not to do things beyond your capability in case you may lose the bait along with the fish. Beyond capability…A scene flashes across Xia Ning’s brain. She hears Su Wen’s words and feels that the words were heard once before…Ah, it sounds familiar. It seems as if this scene happened to her somewhere.Some scenes flash like thunder across Xia Ning’s brain. Xia Ning feels dizzy. She shakes and can’t stand stably all of a sudden.Yi Yunrui is aware of this. He holds her at once, “What happens? What’s wrong with you?”Xia Ning frowns and shakes her head, “I feel a little dizzy.”“Why do you feel dizzy suddenly? Didn’t you sleep well last night?”“I slept w
Su Wen says that he will tell, but he hesitates for quite a while and doesn’t speak.Dai Zhongheng looks at Su Wen coldly, “It seems that the perpetrator has a close relation with the mayor. Do you want me to call the mayor myself? So that, Assistant Su doesn’t need to burden with it.”Su Wen’s heart tightens, realizing that he can’t keep it secret. He gives a long sigh, “The perpetrator is the mayor’s nephew, Mr. Wu.”“Mr. Wu. Do you mean Wu Hua?”Su Wen nods, “Yes. Mr. Wu lost his parents when he was a child. The mayor loves this nephew very much. Colonel Dai, you know…Can we settle it privately? It will be good for everyone. Money is not a problem. Can Colonel Dai consider…”“Yes. Do you think money is a problem?” Dai Zhongheng sneers, “What do you think life is?” Saying this, Dai Zhongheng takes out his phone and calls Yi Yunrui, “Commander, the perpetrator is known. He is the nephew of the mayor, Wu
Li Baoer feels warm in her heart. She nods, “Be careful in the military exercises. Be safe. It is said that it permits a death rate of 3%.” Kai told her that. When she heard it, it takes several days for her to get over these words painfully.Now, she speaks out the words again. She feels that there seem to be a thorn in her heart which can’t be got rid of.Dai Zhongheng laughs and pats on her hand, “Silly Girl, that’s what the rules say. Actually, in the exercises all these years, no accident has ever happened. Don’t worry.” He comforts her. He has been aware of what she is thinking about from her expression and tone. “Hum. I don’t worry. I don’t worry.” Li Baoer says and she tells herself in her heart that, too, but actually, she is still worried, feeling her heart floating. They were talking when Dai Zhongheng’s correspondent Kai comes in, “Commander, the Deputy Director of the Urban Construction Bureau is here.”
When they hear that the perpetrator has been arrested, Li Baoer’s parents are very happy. The mother is going to say something but is stopped by the father. She feels confused. The father shakes his head and glances at Dai Zhongheng. The mother understands at once and doesn’t speak a word.“Good. Director Huang is efficient.” Dai Zhongheng says emotionally. Su Wen thought that what Dai Zhongheng was asking for is just a “response”. It is given now, but Dai Zhongheng looks indifferent, which makes Su Wen confused.The perpetrator has been arrested. What on earth this military officer wants him to do? Is there anything that he hasn’t done well?What is worst is that the mayor is not in C City now. If the mayor says something regarding this event, it will be much easier.Wait, is the military officer blaming the mayor for his not saying anything about this?Thinking of this, Su Wen says, “Commander, if you a
Xia Ning hears Yi Yunrui murmur. She is in great surprise, feeling that something slowly permeates her limbs and a warm flow runs inside her body.Xia Ning holds the man tightly and comforts him gently, “You silly, you are my husband. Why will I leave you?”When she happened to wake up during the night, she saw him hold her tightly. She felt the warmth and pampering from him with profound respect and humility, wondering what advantages she had got to keep such an excellent man with her.Yi Yunrui looks gently at her with his head leaning on her hairs, smelling her attractive fragrance. He feels so comfortable that he feels regretless for all his life.“Sweetheart, let’s go into the bedroom. I prepare something for you.”Saying this, Yi Yunrui holds Xia Ning and goes into the bedroom.He carefully puts Xia Ning on the bed. Yi Yunrui takes out a small black box and puts it in front of Xia Ning, “Sweetheart,
The next day, Xia Ning wakes up very early.As a matter of fact, though she was tired, Xia Ning hardly fell asleep during the night.Yi Yunrui is going to leave at 4 AM. Before he leaves, Xia Ning clenches her fists tightly under the quilt and closes her eyes. She doesn’t dare to open her eyes. She is afraid that she may not withstand his leaving. She is afraid that Yi Yunrui may see that she is unwilling to let him go and he will be worried about her.However, she knows that Yi Yunrui sits in front of the bed and stares at her for quite a while. And then he gives her an intense kiss on her forehead.Xia Ning hears that the door is closed and she opens her eyes. She curls her lips, feeling mildly sad in her heart.It is a regular yearly military exercise and she has been telling herself to treat it as a routine, but at this moment, she just can’t do it. She gives a light sigh. Xia Ning envie
“Ning? You are finally at the phone!” Zheng Yao gives a long sigh of relief at the other end of the phone, “Well, Ning, why haven’t you ringed me up for so long a time? I called you but couldn’t get through. What happened?”Xia Ning is surprised. Zheng Yao couldn’t get through to her?It was impossible. She has never turned off her phone.And, did her mother-in-law ever call her? In her memory, it is always her calling her mother-in-law.“Well…”As regards her mother-in-law’s question, Xia Ning can’t figure it out. As it has always been, the mother-in-law often calls Yi Yunrui and never calls her initiatively…But from the tone of the mother-in-law, it sounds like that it really happened. Thinking of this, no matter whether it is true or not, Xia Ning says, “Sorry, Mom. I was busy these days. I will call you more often in the future.”Wait. She remembers now. Every time, when sh
