Chapter 10 Let’s go then
Lin Fan quickly adjusted his emotions and tried not to put himself into a bad situation too much.
What happened in the past two days has long been beyond the understanding of normal people.
Although John Woo's identity was confirmed, he made many guarantees, and offered many temptations, Lin Fan still didn't want to listen to him.
On the one hand, she was sure that she was not the person he was looking for. If she really had powers, she might sleep a lot. Especially these two days, I have been so annoyed by John Woo. Although she was just talking, it lasted so long that she felt particularly tired and went home to sleep.
If someone said that someone was holding the plane to fly, she believed it. But this person can never be himself.
On the other hand, Lin Fan was not sure about the consequences of going with him.
She did not forget the predecessor of the special agency, which was called the "Human Research Institute". With the word "research", it feels a bit scary. She always felt that the place was like a black hole with an open mouth. As soon as she entered, what happened next was out of her control.
The feeling of not being in control is terrible.
She got this disease because she couldn't control her emotions well, and she suffered a lot in the past few years.
It has finally become more stable recently, and there is a trend of gradual improvement. I don't dare to increase abnormal contact with the outside world, for fear that if something happens, it will stimulate my fragile nerves, affect my mood, lead to recurrence of the disease, and fail.
This is also the reason why she has been staying at home. Poor health is only one aspect of it, and her emotional vulnerability and defenseless spirit are more important reasons.
In order to maintain a stable living condition and reduce the excitement of accidents, she did not even leave the community and created a safe house for herself. Even so, he cannot fully control his own state.
For such a huge institution like the Special Office, when she left, it was like a leaf falling on the sea. She could not control whether it would be calm or rolling. She wasn't sure if what happened during the period would have caused her to be in a worse emotional state.
So she doesn’t plan to go with John Woo.
But after answering the phone, she hesitated.
Mama Lin is right, they are old and have no extra energy and money to take care of her.
Having been living on the pensions of her two parents for such a long time, she felt guilty, self-blame, guilty, and tormented. Because of this incident, my depression once worsened. I felt like a burden and didn't want to drag my family down.
Dad Lin found out from the farewell call and cried to persuade her. Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your parents. If you really leave, what will your parents do?
Lin Fan held back again.
Later, every time I felt like I couldn't survive, I thought about the phone call that Dad Lin made while crying that day. It wasn't because of the content, but the feeling of being cared about, the emotion that would make her heartbroken if she lost it, which really soothed her uneasiness and allowed her to get through it again and again.
She has also learned to ignore the various emotions that pop up all the time and pull her down, and try to keep her mood relaxed and develop for the better.
But ignoring does not mean forgetting.
She never forgot that she was dragging her parents down.
Now there is an opportunity. As long as she goes, it is said that she can get a generous compensation.
Why not give it a try?
I haven’t done anything in so many years because I can’t do it. And now that we have the opportunity to do it easily, why not reduce the burden on our parents?
As for the uneasiness, Mother Lin was right, she just gritted her teeth and got over it.
If an accident occurs during the trip, will there be funeral expenses? It should be higher than the compensation, right?
She doesn’t know when she will return to normal. But even if she returns to normal, it's hard to find a job at her age. She may not be able to earn as much as the funeral expenses after working for decades.
Lin Fan began to seriously consider how much funeral expenses would be paid if he died in a special institution. It's better to give it a try and bring back a sum of money whether life or death...
Throughout the night, Lin Fan kept convincing himself, until he was too tired to hold on any longer, and then slowly closed his eyes. .
The next day, I was awakened by a knock on the door. As expected, there was a smiling John Woo outside the door.
"Good morning, Ms. Lin, we meet again." John Woo was still wearing a black suit, white shirt, and red tie, and he was holding a briefcase in his hand.
Lin Fan really didn’t want to talk to him. If this person hadn't appeared, her life would not have been disrupted, nor would her peaceful mentality that had been adjusted for a long time.
During the stalemate, an old aunt came down from upstairs and asked: "Xiao Fan, this is..."
"My friend came to see me." Lin Fan said and grabbed John Woo's arm. He pulled inside and quickly closed the door.
Compared to Aunt Mao's nonsense, this old aunt is obviously more dangerous and someone who spreads random rumors.
The aunts in the community don’t care whether the news is true or false, they are just having fun. Lin Fan knew that she had a bad reputation, and many words came from this old aunt's mouth. She didn't want to add more talk to this kind of person.
The old aunt saw that there was no interesting gossip, so she curled her lips and left.
Lin Fan looked at Wu Yusen who had already entered, sighed and greeted: "Sit down wherever you want."
Wu Yusen did not expect to be dragged into the room by Lin Fan, after all, Lin Fan had been keeping a distance from him.
Lin Fan's house is very clean and empty, and seems to have no atmosphere of life. The decoration is in an old style from around the millennium, and it looks like a lot of money was spent at that time.
The kitchen is on the right after entering the door. A small door in the kitchen should be the toilet. Beyond the toilet is a small room, which opens directly opposite the entrance door. There should also be a room on the left side of the small room, which is slightly larger in area. It opens to the kitchen and is just a little away from the toilet door.
Outside the big room is the hall on the left hand side of the entrance. A square table was placed next to the aisle. A little to the left is a wooden couch. It was also a popular furniture style in the past.
There is a TV cabinet and a big-ass TV opposite the sofa. There are DVDs and amplifiers and speakers under the TV. Tall speakers stand on both sides of the TV cabinet.
Further to the left is the balcony where the washing machine is placed, with a few clothes hanging on the top. The partition wall between the balcony and the hall is opened, the light is very good, and the hall does not seem very crowded.
Wu Yusen walked to the wooden sofa and sat down. Lin Fan brought him a glass of boiled water from the kitchen: "This is the only one at home."
"Thank you." Wu Yusen took it and took a sip. Not hot, not cold, just right for the mouth.
Lin Fan took out a stool from under the dining table and sat next to it. John Woo opened his briefcase, took out a piece of A4 paper with an official seal, and handed it to Lin Fan: "I know you are cautious, so I specially applied for a compensation contract for you."
Lin Fan took it and looked at it. The contract stipulates that if she goes to the Special Investigation Institute for testing and the final result is that she does not have special powers, the Special Investigation Institute will make a one-time compensation of 30,000 yuan to her.
30,000 yuan, you don’t have to withdraw money from your parents for two years.
"Do I have to pay if I die during the test?" Lin Fan could not forget his thoughts last night.
John Woo was stunned for a moment: "The test will not cause death."
"What if? Even if the test fails, if you are accidentally hit by something falling from upstairs, you will die or be injured. You have to make it clear first, right?"
Wu Yusen feels that Lin Fan does not love money. Man, he said so many benefits yesterday, and Lin Fan didn't even move his eyelids. Today I am suddenly so concerned about losing money. Something must have happened.
Accident compensation during the inspection process is actually stipulated, but it has never happened in reality.
Wu Yusen thought for a moment and replied: "From the time I pick you up until I send you back, if you are injured during this period, the Special Operations Office will be responsible for treating you. And depending on the specific severity of the injury, you will be given 20,000 Up to 200,000 yuan in compensation for mental losses and nutritional expenses. If disabled, there will be another 300,000 to 800,000 yuan in disability compensation, depending on the circumstances.”
“What about death?”
This was the second time Lin Fan mentioned it. John Woo suspected what she had in mind, but he still told the truth: "If the death is caused by a special incident, the one-time funeral compensation will be 2 million."
2 million is still enough. To the death.
Lin Fan thought to see if there would be a chance then, and handed the A4 in his hand to John Woo: "Write down everything you just said."
Wu Yusen looked at it intently. Lin Fan roughly guessed what she was thinking in two seconds, took the contract with a smile, and lay down on the coffee table to write slowly.
If you want to seek death in front of him, Lin Fan can try to see if he can succeed. It seems that she still doesn't believe that she has superpowers.
It was written after a while. Lin Fan saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so he didn't hesitate. He took the signature pen handed over by John Woo and wrote his name on it.
“When are you leaving?” Lin Fan asked, handing back the pen and paper.
Wu Yusen took it and put it in his briefcase: "It depends on your time, I can do it at any time."
"Then let's go."
"Huh?" Wu Yusen didn't say anything. When he realized it, he wanted to take Lin Fan back early, but he didn't expect to leave right away. Don’t girls usually have to prepare something?
"How long will it take?" Lin Fan asked again.
"Including the time on the road, it will take about two or three days. You can prepare a little."
After hearing this, Lin Fan walked into the small room to clean up. Wu Yusen guessed that it was her room and sat down Wait on the sofa.
"What do you want to bring?" Lin Fan asked in the room.
"You can bring your ID card." In fact, it doesn't matter whether you bring it or not. Considering the possibility of unexpected situations, John Woo still let him bring it.
Lin Fan was in the room. First I took two sets of changes of clothes and put them in my handbag. He took out his ID card and put it in again. Thinking that the ID card was too thin and easy to lose, I took out the driver's license book, inserted the ID card into the driver's license book, and put it in the handbag. Think about it and put the dirty sheets in again.
She came to the living room with her handbag, put the bag on the coffee table, and said to John Woo: "Wait for me."
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time." John Woo Take a sip of water and smile.
Lin Fan put away the dried clothes on the balcony. Go into the toilet, close the door and turn on the water. She had just gotten up, but she hadn't brushed her teeth or washed her face yet, and her personal problems hadn't been solved yet. Since there was a stranger outside, she could only turn on the water to cover up some of the sounds.
In less than 5 minutes, Lin Fan came out of the bathroom with a towel and toothbrush in his hand. He went to the kitchen to pick up two plastic bags and put them into the red bag on the coffee table.
John Woo stared blankly at the red non-woven bag with the name of the supermarket printed on it. He thought Lin Fan had left it casually, but he didn't expect that she seemed to be planning to take it away. It looked shriveled inside, with nothing in it.
None of their cleaning ladies carry bags like this. Lin Fan is only in his 30s, is he so casual?
"Do you want to go to the bathroom?" Lin Fan closed the balcony window and drew the curtains one by one.
"Oh, excuse me." He originally wanted to find a chance to go to the toilet outside, but Lin Fan unexpectedly mentioned it, so let's go.
When he came out, Lin Fan had already changed his clothes and was turning off the electric switch in the kitchen.
"You go out first." Lin Fan said.
John Woo goes out obediently. Lin Fan took a mop from the toilet and mopped the place he walked.
He saw that Lin Fan didn't change his shoes without asking him to do so...Wu Yusen blushed a little.
After rinsing the mop, Lin Fan went to the kitchen and turned off the water gate. He picked up the red handbag, took out a plastic bag, put the slippers on his feet and put them into the bag.
Wu Yusen saw Lin Fan coming out to close the door and asked quickly: "Is this all you take?"
Seeing him asking, Lin Fan picked up his handbag and carefully clicked on the items inside: "Sheets, change of clothes, ID card, towel, toothbrush, slippers, water bottle, mobile phone, power bank. Is there anything else I need to bring?"< br>
I have indeed brought everything I should bring. But when girls go out...
Okay, Lin Fan is an informal person.
Lin Fan saw that Wu Yusen had nothing to add and locked the door of his home.
“Let’s go.”
