Chapter 248 "Empty Monument" (5)

The sound of piano connects the next scene, and the focus of the camera stays at the door of Lin Rou's house.

The picture first shows an empty mirror in the living room, and then a faint voice is inserted in the form of voice-over.

"...I really, really don't know what to do."

That was the voice of a middle-aged man.

His tone was tired, sounding very painful, and he was on the verge of collapse.

The next second, a close-up of Qin Jue appeared.

Her whole face was stiff, and her eyes were wide open. She could tell that something was wrong just from her eyes, and there was a sense of confusion caused by excessive shock.

"Lin Rou." Qin Jue spoke softly, his eyes still slightly upward, looking at the unseen person in front of him, "Is her illness... not cured?"

Her voice was very weak, as if any louder would make what she said become reality, so she tried her best to avoid it.

The "person" opposite seemed to nod heavily.

"...How could it be possible?" Qin Jue forced a smile out of the corner of his mouth, "Didn't she get cured when she was on leave from school?"

"That kind of disease is not that simple."

The man's voice continued, and he let out a long sigh, "It's hereditary. Her mother was like this too."

"But..." Qin Jue tried hard to say something, but found that his words and thoughts were all blank.

"I found a way." The man said slowly, and the moment hope rose in Qin Jue's eyes, he whispered, "But it costs a lot of money."

"Very...very much..."

His voice was filled with tears, "Xiao Jue, your Uncle Lin can't raise that much money at all..."

Qin Jue was just an ordinary freshman in high school. She was adopted by this man early on. She had never lacked food or clothing, and had never faced such a real problem head-on.

She stared at the camera blankly, and suddenly remembered that when Lin Rou fell ill last year, Uncle Lin sat in the study all night. He didn't know what he did after that, but when he came back, he only said that it was okay and that Lin Rou could be admitted to the hospital for treatment.

After that, Uncle Lin lost his job and didn't go out very often. He just stayed at home and did some part-time work online.

The young man's social experience and experience were not enough for her to think about the deep logical contradictions. Qin Jue was stunned for a while and then said: "I, I will go work, I will move bricks!"

She had seen Lin Rou lying in the hospital bed with a bloodless face, and just recalling it made her suffocate. The blood flowing in her veins was so cold that she shivered.

The man seemed to be amused by her innocent words. He smiled bitterly and sighed again: "Silly boy, that's only a few dollars..."

He hesitated for a moment and then said: "I found a dangerous way. Xiao Jue, you know-"

The man suddenly stopped.

Qin Jue's expression became anxious: "What do you know?"

A painful and even terrifying whimper came from the man's throat, and he took a deep breath.

"Going to jail for someone else."

The man's deep voice sounded slowly, "When those rich people commit crimes, they find someone else to go to jail for them. After five years in prison, they will be given hundreds of thousands of dollars."

...Qin Jue was visibly stunned.

"But, this, this." She felt it was extremely ridiculous, but she couldn't help but move, "This... ah. Then -"

Qin Jue's eyes froze little by little.

Because the man opposite finally cried.

"But, I have to." He cried and said intermittently, "I have to stay and take care of Xiaorou. I can't leave her... Without the signature of her immediate family, she can't have an operation at all..."

There were constant gasps from the audience.

This is……

This is asking Qin Jue to go to jail! !

The young man in the picture was stunned, and seemed to have come to his senses, and understood why Uncle Lin came to him alone to tell him this secret that was still hidden from Lin Rou.

She was silent for a full five seconds, and when she spoke again, her voice was unusually low and hoarse.

"I see."

What else can be done? Uncle Lin must stay. If not, Qin Jue is just a high school student who has not yet reached adulthood, and there is really not much he can do.

The young and ignorant children never thought about other possibilities and were forced to accept the terrible reality.

She tried her best to put on an ugly smile, and even comforted the man with a few words.

Boom!

There was a sudden crash to the ground, and the scene suddenly changed. Nie Xingliang fell sideways on the concrete floor. Without any pause, he immediately stood up and ran not far away.

"Damn, they have an informant!"

He pinched Mike by the collar while running and whispered, "Pause the investigation and take cover first!"

Nie Xingliang was wearing a dirty, shabby white robe, and he looked very much like the animal chosen for sacrifice.

His movements were neat and tidy. He went around the corner, climbed over the wall, and finally reached an unknown corner. He quickly took off his robe, took out the ordinary clothes he had prepared and put them on. After wiping his face with a wet wipe, his temperament immediately changed. From that group of people, The pursuer passed by easily.

This condensed plot obviously gave the audience enough hints: Nie Xingliang pretended to be a victim who was about to be tortured and successfully sneaked in, but was accidentally discovered and had no choice but to escape.

The scene changed again, and Nie Xingliang was sitting on the sofa, with a pair of over-ear headphones on his head and a laptop on his knees, typing away.

"That guy started to recruit people..."

Although his voice was calm, there was still a bit of gritted anger, "Just in time, when he calls all the accomplices over, they can catch them all."

Nie Xingliang had a sullen face, moving his right index finger back and forth on the laptop's touch pad to open various files.

As he watched, his expression suddenly changed.

…

Everyone in the school knew that Luo Hanzhang from Class 1, Grade 2, was chasing Lin Rou.

His reputation was pretty good, and some girls would even secretly enjoy the love between him and Lin Rou, adding a rare bit of fun to the boring high school life.

Someone who is familiar with Luo Hanzhang revealed that he dated several girlfriends when he was in junior high school, but they didn't last long. This can also be seen from his character. This person usually likes to play with the opposite sex, but he just makes up his mind. After chasing Lin Rou, he restrained himself a lot.

There are also some people who are raising controversy behind their backs. Especially after Nie Xingliang transferred to another school and became very close to Lin Rou, many boys who knew that they could not catch up with Lin Rou even wanted Lin Rou to be with Nie Xingliang, nothing else. To be honest, Luo Hanzhang is like a peacock all day long, which is really annoying.

How could a goddess be ruined by such a person? What a pity.

Luo Hanzhang knew what he was like, but in his opinion, compared with Nie Xingliang, he was just as handsome, his family background was not bad at all, and he was versatile, but his personality seemed less calm, which was not a shortcoming!

Now that Nie Xingliang has rejected Lin Rou, will he still watch the opportunity slip away?

With this thought, Luo Hanzhang blocked Nie Xingliang in the corner of the playground.

The physical education classes of Class 1 of Senior 2 and Class 1 of Senior 3 were held at the same time, so he was just able to catch someone.

"Brothers, let's discuss something."

Luo Hanzhang got straight to the point, "You're not interested in Lin Rou, right? Can I trouble you not to show up at the art performance soon?"

He planned to confess to Lin Rou at that time.

What if Nie Xingliang is still down there and Lin Rou hesitates and rejects her when she sees him?

Girls are most likely to have repetitive emotions, so you have to guard against them.

The word count is so high, so sad.
