Chapter 637 The Sword of Damocles
Miss Chu's first reaction when she saw Uncle Gao was to come forward to comfort him, but she didn't have a chance for the time being.
After all, although she was blamed for her lack of vigilance in her kidnapping, Uncle Gao, as a personal bodyguard, would definitely feel that he had neglected his duty and took all the responsibility on himself.
Therefore, Chu Qingmian felt that it was necessary to talk to him, but in an instant, she was surrounded by other people on three levels outside.
As soon as Chu Yuanjiang saw her, the calmness he had just pretended to be in front of others collapsed. He choked up when he opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time.
Such a true reaction can show that he really has ups and downs of emotions and no longer has the strength to pretend. If it were normal, he would definitely beat his chest and cry like an actor.
Although Wei Peilan still had a tight face and a very oppressive expression, Su Chengyi could clearly see that she was really panicked. Her hair, which was usually neatly tied up, was now quite messy.
Perhaps through this dangerous accident, she can also reflect on how much she failed in her duties as a mother.
In addition to her parents, professional doctors and nurses are on standby to take her away for a comprehensive and detailed examination. Armed bodyguards are vigilantly guarding the surrounding area to check for the possibility that there are some accomplices hidden around her.
Seeing familiar relatives at this time, Miss Chu, who had experienced a real ups and downs, was still a little hot-eyed. This was the first time she saw her old father acting so gloomy. She seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
But her tears were quickly teased back by Butler Han, who was crying miserably on the other side.
"Dad, I'm okay. Mom, your hair is loose. Uncle Han, please stop crying. I want to laugh when you cry. Tell me honestly where you stole that flower handkerchief."
"Mianmian, this will never happen again. Dad swears to God."
Chu Yuanjiang's voice trembled, still a little scared.
"Don't worry about it for now."
Wei Peilan gently grabbed Chu Qingmian's wrist that was helping her to fix her hair. When she saw the red marks from the rope binding, she immediately turned her head and glanced at the medical staff.
"Apply medicine."
"Okay, okay."
The medical staff became nervous at her sight and immediately came forward with ointments and gauze.
"Miss, just be okay. It's all my fault for being careless. I really deserve to die!"
Butler Han was still covering his face and crying bitterly.
"Okay, okay, don't cry! Go and tell Uncle Gao quickly and tell him not to blame himself. It's me who ran around even though I knew there was danger."
Chu Qingmian sighed softly, applying ointment to the wound on her wrist, which felt slightly chilled by the wind.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault for making you worry."
As soon as she said these words, everyone around them lowered their heads, and for a moment there was only the sound of the howling wind.
The stretcher was laid flat on the ground, and Xia Yu lay quietly on it.
Su Chengyi knelt down and subconsciously reached out to touch the temperature of her forehead.
The tentacles were cold, but her breathing was still steady. I guess Wu Shaobo, the bastard, didn't care about the dosage when he took the sedative.
"How is she?"
Su Chengyi raised his head and asked the doctor beside him.
"It's not life-threatening, but I can't tell exactly what it will be like now. I have to go back to the hospital for a comprehensive examination later."
The doctor shook his head and replied.
"Speaking of which, she experienced severe mental trauma when she was a child, which seemed to have damaged her language function and she never spoke again.
But he must have been able to speak normally before. In this case, is there any possibility of cure in the future? ”
Su Chengyi thought for a while and asked.
“In terms of mental trauma, it’s hard to say. It depends on whether the patient’s mental condition is good and her own willingness to speak again.
If the will is strong, coupled with reasonable and scientific rehabilitation methods, the possibility of being able to speak again is relatively high. ”
Although the doctor's answer was conservative, it also proved that it was not completely impossible.
Su Chengyi nodded and looked down at Xia Yu, who was sleeping peacefully on the stretcher.
In fact, the little girl has grown up somewhat compared to the first time we met, and she no longer looks as thin, childish, weak and malnourished as she did then.
Now that the evil man hiding in the shadow of her life is dead, everything has settled, and she finally has the chance to grow up like a normal girl.
The fire burning in her memory, which had probably never stopped burning her over the years, was finally extinguished.
"Master, is this the little girl who survived the murder?"
Xiao Zheng put his hands on his knees and asked curiously.
"Yeah."
Su Chengyi coughed and put the thin blanket prepared by the doctor over her body.
Xiao Zheng sighed a few times and said:
"Should I say it or not, this little girl is still a real beauty, and she will be amazing when she grows up."
"Get lost."
Su Cheng's words were concise and to the point.
Just now, he was still thinking that if Xia Yu grew up healthy and lived a good life, she might also meet someone she likes, get married and have children.
Thinking about it this way, it was like picking up a cheap sister or a female goose, and Su Chengyi's sense of responsibility as an old father arose spontaneously.
Unexpectedly, the ready-made will-o'-the-wisp Huangmao arrived on a motorcycle.
Su Chengyi raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Zheng, which sent chills down his back.
Xiao Zheng raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and immediately cried out for himself:
"Master, don't look down on me, okay? I'm just talking casually, I don't have any other ideas! This is a punishment, okay!"
Su Chengyi snorted coldly and sat down on the ground.
There was still tension in his mind just now, but now that the kidnapping incident had finally come to an end and everyone was still uninjured, he felt a burst of exhaustion.
Xiao Zheng took the sterilized cotton cloth from the nurse, squatted down opposite him, and wiped the blood on his face.
"Master, don't blame me for not opening the pot. What are you going to do in this situation? This is not a situation where you can get through by pretending to be stupid."
Xiao Zheng lowered his voice and asked.
"I know."
Su Chengyi closed his eyes and sighed.
Xiao Zheng's hand that wiped the blood immediately added some strength, and the sterilized cotton pad felt like a steel ball when he used it, causing Su Chengyi's face to burn with pain.
"To be honest, young master, this old slave has tried his best to think of a way out of this situation. Why don't you pretend to be dead right where you are?
When I woke up, I said I had lost my memory. Who are you, the beautiful girl Abba Abba? Who are you, the beautiful woman Abba Abba?
Haha, it turns out you are my girlfriend, and so are you. What a coincidence and fate! In fact, the triangle is the most stable relationship. You came at the right time! ”
"."
Su Chengyi opened his eyes and wanted to punch his glasses away.
It is of course false to say that we are not aware of this problem, but we have always been in a state of not wanting to face it.
"Su Chengyi!"
At this time, his head was suddenly poked lightly.
Su Chengyi raised his head and met Chu Qingmian's bright, clear eyes.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? You also need to go to the hospital for a checkup."
"I'm fine."
Su Chengyi shook his head and continued:
"On your side, although you didn't suffer any serious trauma, you overused sedatives. The source of his medication is not clear. Go and have a good check-up." "I'm fine, but I'm still a little dizzy."
Chu Qingmian bent her eyes, straightened up again, looked around, said "Huh", and said:
"Where is classmate Chen Jinzhi? I seemed to have seen it before."
"What do you see?"
Su Chengyi jumped up and got up from the ground in an instant.
"I saw blood on her face. I wonder if she was injured."
Chu Qingmian frowned slightly, her eyes full of worry.
"By the way, why is Chen Jinzhi involved?"
she asked softly, as if talking to herself.
Su Chengyi had no time to explain her next question, and the words "I don't know if she was injured" echoed in her mind.
"Where is she?"

Su Chengyi turned his head and asked Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng said "Hey" and winked at him crazily.
"She just talked to me. It's nothing serious. She told you not to worry too much. Master, look at the blood all over you. Wipe it off first. Isn't it uncomfortable to see the blood?"
As he spoke, he changed a piece of cotton cloth and put it on his face.
Of course, Su Chengyi could tell that Xiao Zheng was desperately trying to cover for him at this time, but to be honest, he didn't care about that much now.
"This is blood, that is blood, hey, what is this? Master, you even tied a life-saving red rope on yourself, why did it break?"
Xiao Zheng took out a red rope from his neck and tied it in order to change the subject.
Su Chengyi was stunned and took the red rope handed over by Xiao Zheng.
That was the sapphire safety buckle given by Chen Jinzhi.
He has been carrying this year's birthday gift close to his body, but now only the rope is left, and the jade is gone.
It just happened to be today.
Like a thunderbolt suddenly hitting the top of his head, Su Chengyi's head buzzed, and his heart felt numb.
The deliberate disguise and neglect just now were all revealed, and he finally realized that this was the Shura Field that he had to face, the last, final, and no room for change.
Su Chengyi lowered his head and looked at the red rope in his palm.
The broken position looked very uneven. It must have been broken by accidentally hanging on a branch while walking through the woods or falling down.
Trying to find a piece of jade in such a large dense forest is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
Old people often say that jade will protect people from disasters.
However, Su Chengyi clearly felt that the biggest disaster in his life was coming, and it was inevitable.
As soon as Xiao Zheng saw his young master's face, he knew that it was all over. He originally wanted to save someone by changing the subject, but he didn't expect that he would be pushed directly into the minefield.
Could this jade be a gift from a big star? ! No way? !
"Ah! Is this piece of jade missing?"
Chu Qingmian opened her eyes wide and continued:
"What should I do? Let me help you look for it? It should be nearby."
Her reaction was so normal that Su Chengyi remembered that from her perspective, this jade was a gift from Yangliu.
The eldest lady never doubted the lie he told casually at that time.
Su Chengyi raised his hands to cover his eyes, feeling the blood vessels in his temples beating.
He really didn't expect that at this moment when the Shura field completely exploded, he actually had no desire to save the outcome or continue to think of ways to deceive him.
What came over me was guilt, and only guilt.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Su Chengyi?"
Chu Qingmian looked at his pale face for a moment, her tone full of worry.
"It's okay. I'll ask them to help you find it later. They will find it. Don't worry."
The more she said this, the more Su Chengyi felt like an eternal sinner. Her throat went dry for a while, and she was speechless for a long time.
But there was actually a lot he wanted to say.
I want to say that you should go first. The doctors are waiting for you. Go and get checked first.
This was a high-sounding statement, but it was actually a way of whitewashing peace, so he couldn't speak.
What I really want to say is I'm sorry.
"That's right, young master, don't worry, we will help you look for it in a while and we will definitely find it."
Xiao Zheng followed and helped, screaming and shouting:
Master, wake up and don’t sleep! This is already the most critical moment!
After fighting side by side so many times, Su Chengyi could certainly pick up on his wingman's cues. He shook his head and held the half of the red rope in his hand.
"No need, I'll find it myself."
"What are you looking for?"
At this time, someone behind him asked softly.
Su Chengyi turned around quickly.
Chen Jinzhi stood there quietly, his eyes falling gently on him, with no emotion visible.
She is calm.
Su Chengyi suddenly realized that she shouldn't be so calm.
She shouldn't have acted so calmly since she was involved in this kidnapping case.
Unless she already knew everything clearly.
She knew why she was chosen as one of the options, knew everything that had happened between him and Chu Qingmian, and knew that there was another person in his heart from beginning to end.
But she still stood here, willing to take such risks for him, and willing to sacrifice her life to save the other side of the option.
Why.
Su Chengyi looked into her eyes, feeling a little dazed at this moment.
Until she saw the wound on her face, which was slowly oozing blood because it had not been treated.
This kind of wound is not deep. Because the scratch is on the face, it will hurt more.
He probably got hit on the way here, Su Cheng thought.
At this time, he suddenly realized why the thorn he encountered earlier had blood that did not belong to him, because it belonged to Chen Jinzhi.
The bright red blood condensed into droplets and slowly dripped from her chin.
Chen Jinzhi seemed not to notice, putting his hands in the pockets of his coat and quietly looking at the two people standing side by side.
For a long time, the three of them looked at each other in silence.
The confusion and confusion that briefly surfaced in the past few years, tossing and turning, self-deception, and thousands of emotions intertwined in the face of each other.
A strong wind blew up in the mountains, and the withered yellow leaves fell all over the sky like heavy rain.
Su Chengyi closed his eyes and once again realized very clearly that the Sword of Damocles, symbolizing divine punishment, was actually hanging above his head.
