Tong Xuelu's eyes lit up.
Previously, she was worried that the Shi family would use this opportunity to make a comeback if they couldn't find any new evidence.
She didn't expect this new evidence to be so useful.
Indeed, hard work pays off for those who work hard!
The diary not only recorded the details of Gao Min and Shi Junmin's relationship, but it also included how they tried to frame her with a love letter, how Shi Junmin persuaded her to pin all the charges on herself, how Shi Junmin attacked her daily, and how he promised her that he would make their relationship public and they would get married as soon as they graduated.
It also detailed how she committed the crime by cutting the rope and how Shi Junmin told her not to write in the diary, but she couldn't control herself.
It turned out that Shi Junmin was worried that she would write down their relationship in the diary and use it as evidence to threaten him in the future, so he tried every possible way to persuade Gao Min not to write in the diary.
Gao Min agreed, but she had been writing in the diary since elementary school. She was used to venting her dissatisfaction and pain in the diary. If she didn't vent, she would easily break down.
Therefore, after a short struggle, Gao Min came up with this idea. On one hand, she hid it from Shi Junmin, and on the other hand, she came to Baihu to write in the diary. After she finished writing, she buried it in the pit.
Shi Junmin probably didn't expect that Gao Min would feign compliance but secretly oppose him, giving him a fatal blow.
Jiang Baihui leaned over to read the diary. Her mouth was wide open, and he looked shocked.
"Gao Min is really crazy. Why is she still with Shi Junmin after he belittled her like that?"
"If any man dares to belittle and humiliate me like this, I'll smash his head!"
Tong Xuelu pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Gao Min was PUA, which was something she didn't expect at all.
She only thought that Gao Min was lovey-dovey. After all, Gao Min showed signs of lovey-dovey before they were together. She never expected that Shi Junmin would use PUA to control Gao Min.
PUA, the full name of Pick-up Artist, originally referred to communication skills. Later, it deformed and developed into emotional control and psychological manipulation.
In the beginning, Pua guys would treat girls very well. Once a stable relationship was established, they would crazily suppress the other party from a psychological level. They would focus on the girl's mistakes and magnify them infinitely, making the girl feel guilty and sorry for the other party, thus achieving the goal of controlling the other party.
Of course, Shi Junmin was neither a transmigrator nor a reincarnator. It could only be said that using emotions to control others had been around for a long time. It was just that no one had realized it in the past.
Just like now, she couldn't explain to Jiang Baihui the meaning of puberty. She also couldn't explain to her that those who were putted weren't stupid. They were just emotionally controlled and had no choice.
Jiang Baihui was still talking to herself, "Look at what she wrote here. Before she cut the rope, she did an experiment to accurately calculate when the chandelier would fall. Then, taking into account the time you rehearsed, she made sure that the chandelier would fall on your head. She's obviously very smart, but she didn't use her intelligence on the right path."
Tong Xuelu agreed with this point, "You're right. If she had put her mind on the right path, she wouldn't have gone to such a dead end. Let's go, let's send the diary to the department head."
Jiang Baihui nodded, and the two of them sent the diary to the department head's office.
After the department head saw the diary, he felt that his worldview was about to be turned upside down.
The department head said, "You found this at White Lake. But why did you think of going to White Lake to find the diary?"
Tong Xuelu said, "I didn't know that Gao Min would hide the diary at White Lake. However, I heard from many people that Gao Min often went to White Lake alone. I wanted to see if I could find any clues or evidence. I didn't expect to really find it."
Naturally, she couldn't tell anyone that she had seen the diary.
The department head glanced at her and said, "Previously, the police also went there to search, but they didn't find anything. You guys are really lucky."
After saying that, he turned around and called the police. In less than half an hour, the police came over.
After the police finished reading the diary, they took out Gao Min's workbook and carefully compared the handwriting on it. In the end, they confirmed that the diary was indeed Gao Min's.
The police didn't expect things to take such a turn. "You guys found the evidence very timely. If it wasn't for this evidence, we would have to treat a bad person like a hero."
If there was no new evidence in the next two days, Shi Junmin would be portrayed as a hero who sacrificed himself to save others. If that was really the case, it would be a great irony.
Tong Xuelu said modestly, "Maybe it's fated. It's not too late to find evidence now."
Jiang Baihui asked curiously, "Police, Shi Junmin instigated Gao Min to deal with Xuelu several times. Will he be executed?"
The police said, "That depends on whether Gao Min's death has anything to do with him."
If Gao Min's death was just an accident, even if they had the diary, they couldn't sentence Shi Junmin to death. At most, he would be locked up for a few years.
However, he was now completely paralyzed. If he was locked up, it would cause trouble for the police.
Jiang Baihui still wanted to ask, but Tong Xuelu pulled her and said, "We haven't eaten yet. Let's go."
Jiang Baihui's attention was immediately attracted. "If you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have noticed. Now that you mention it, my stomach is starting to growl. Let's go. Let's go eat."
Tong Xuelu pulled her out of the office and said, "It's already past dinner time. Let me treat you to a state-run restaurant outside."
Jiang Baihui's eyes widened. "Are you trying to brush me off with this? I'm telling you, I won't accept it. I only eat food that you cook. "
Tong Xuelu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Of course not. I'll treat you this time. Next time, I'll cook for you. Is that okay?"
Jiang Baihui rubbed her stomach. "That's more like it."
After the two of them walked far away, Tong Xuelu turned around and looked at the spot where Gao Min jumped off the building.
The police were fooled by Shi Junmin and the Shi family. They definitely wouldn't let them off easily. This time, Shi Junmin was dead meat.
The Shi family didn't know that they were in trouble.
Second Brother Shi said, "Junmin, I know you can't accept it right now, but don't be discouraged. Dad will definitely find a way to cure you."
Shi Junmin stared at the ceiling and said dishearteningly, "The doctor said that I'll never be able to stand up again. What can you do?"
Second Brother Shi felt as if his heart had been pricked by a needle. He didn't know how to continue persuading him. He could only raise his head and ask Cheng Xiuyun for help.
Cheng Xiuyun walked over and cut the peeled apple into small pieces. He placed a fork next to Shi Junmin's mouth. "Junmin, once you're awarded the title of 'Hero of Righteousness', not only will you be able to continue your studies, but you'll also become a great writer."
If a hero who sacrificed himself to save others wanted to publish his own literary works, which publishing society would refuse?
Shi Junmin was talented, but this talent wasn't enough to make him stand out from the crowd. But now, things were different.
As long as he was awarded the title of 'Hero of Righteousness', he could become a well-known writer in the future. It was even possible for him to become a great writer.
Shi Junmin finally retracted his gaze. "Do you think the Wen family won't attack us? Will they just watch me be awarded the title of 'Hero of Righteousness'? "
Cheng Xiuyun didn't force him to eat. "Of course, the Wen family won't want us to turn the tables. But what can they do?"
Unless they found new evidence, they would definitely turn the tables this time!
Second Brother Shi admired Cheng Xiuyun for being able to persuade his son with just a few words. "Junmin, after you're awarded the title of 'Hero of Righteousness', I'll find you a good girl and let her take care of you for the rest of your life."
Cheng Xiuyun smiled. "I don't think we need to be too anxious. After Junmin becomes a writer, there will be a lot of girls begging to marry him."
Shi Junmin thought that he would have to lie in bed for the rest of his life. But now that he heard Cheng Xiuyun's description of his future as a writer, it was as if spring water had been poured onto dry land. His withered heart was rejuvenated.
Just as the family was imagining a bright future, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open. Two police officers walked in.
"Officers, are you here because the case is about to be closed?"
The officers had been very polite before, but now they were pulling long faces. Cheng Xiuyun's heart raced and he had an ominous feeling.
"Closed? It's still early! " The officers glanced at Cheng Xiuyun. "We found new evidence that Shi Junmin made a false statement. We now suspect that he is related to Gao Min's death. We want to take him back to the police station for investigation."
"！！！"
There was a thunderous sound.
The Shi family was so shocked that they almost died on the spot.
The apple in Cheng Xiuyun's hand fell to the ground. The apple rolled a few times and was covered with a layer of dust.
She looked at the officers with her mouth wide open. She finally understood what the ominous feeling in her heart was. "Officers, are you mistaken? Junmin, he ... how could he be related to Gao Min's death? Didn't we already investigate it?"
She wanted to say that Shi Junmin was a hero, but she swallowed her words when she met the officers' cold eyes.
Shi Junmin came back to his senses. His hands were trembling as if he had epilepsy. "Yes, my son is a good boy. He wouldn't lie."
The officers said, "We have found evidence. If you dare to cover for him again, we will lock you up as well."
Cheng Xiuyun and Shi Junmin were like chickens that had been strangled. They couldn't say a word.
Shi Junmin's heart sank. When the officers were about to put him on the stretcher, he suddenly asked, "What new evidence did you find?"
"Gao Min's diary."
"..."
Shi Junmin's face seemed to be drained of blood. He was listless.
He was done for.
This time, he was really done for.
**************
The Public Security Bureau was very efficient this time. In less than a day, Shi Junmin had confessed everything.
He admitted that he had instigated Gao Min to deal with Tong Xuelu. He also admitted that he had pushed Gao Min off the school building.
Of course, at first, he wanted to resist stubbornly. He wanted to say that Gao Min's death was an accident. As long as he had nothing to do with the murder case, the other things he did to Tong Xuelu would not constitute a capital offense.
But with the previous trick, how could the Public Security Bureau listen to his nonsense this time?
They had plenty of ways to force Shi Junmin to confess.
Ever since Shi Junmin was arrested, Cheng Xiuyun knew that the Shi family was done for. She also wanted to talk to Wen Rugui. But with the irrefutable evidence, it was useless to talk to anyone.
Under such circumstances, she made a prompt decision to abandon Shi Junmin to save the king. She said that she did not know that Shi Junmin was lying, and that she did not know that he had pushed Gao Min off the school building.
Shi Junmin was filled with hatred.
At the brink of death, he finally came to his senses. If it weren't for Cheng Xiuyun and his uncle, the Shi family wouldn't have ended up like this.
He would not go to a dead end just because he went against Tong Xuelu. He could have had a beautiful future, but now he was paralyzed and was going to be shot.
He wanted to drag Cheng Xiuyun down with him. But the person who told him about the hero that day was his father. In other words, if he wanted to drag Cheng Xiuyun down with him, his father and grandfather would also be dragged down with him.
Therefore, despite his hatred, he did not reveal Cheng Xiuyun's identity in the end.
Cheng Xiuyun had thought this through. That was why she was fearless. Of course, on the surface, she pretended to be very frightened and upset.
"Brother Shi, let's hurry up and tell everyone to come over. If we don't come, I'm afraid that we won't be able to see Junmin again ..."
Shi Junmin had been sentenced to death. Because of the bad influence and Shi Junmin's physical condition, the Public Security Bureau moved the execution date forward. It was set to be one week later.
Brother Shi cried with tears and snot running down his face. "Junmin is only 27 years old. He hasn't married or had any children. He doesn't even have an heir. My poor child ..."
Shi Junmin was actually married. However, after his wife found out about Cheng Xiuyun and Shi Xiuneng's relationship, she found it unbelievable. Therefore, she made a few comments. Of course, she said a lot of nasty things. Because of this, the two of them got into a quarrel.
The woman wanted to separate from Shi Junmin and Cheng Xiuyun's family. Of course, the elders of the Shi family refused. In the end, it ended in a divorce.
After that, Shi Junmin did not marry again. Now, it seemed that the woman had profited from a disaster.
Seeing that Brother Shi was crying so hard that he could not stand up, Cheng Xiuyun had no choice but to go to the post office and call home.
When Mrs. Shi found out that her son was going to be executed, she fainted on the spot at the office. When she woke up, she immediately went crazy.
She ran to Shi Xiuneng's house and smashed it into pieces. Then, she punched and kicked Shi Xiuneng without caring about anything else. She scratched and scratched Shi Xiuneng's face.
When Old Master Shi found out that his eldest grandson was paralyzed, he fainted once. Now that he knew that his eldest grandson was going to be executed, his mouth twitched and he fell to the ground. He never woke up again.
When Old Master Shi died, Mrs. Shi did not feel sad at all. Instead, she felt very happy.
She did not stay to take care of Old Master Shi's funeral. Instead, she packed her things and went to Jing City.
When she got off the train, she saw her white-haired husband. She also saw Cheng Xiuyun standing next to him, wiping her tears and pretending to be sad.
She cursed in her heart, "Bitch!" Then, she rushed over and grabbed Cheng Xiuyun's hair.
Before Cheng Xiuyun came, she had been on guard against Mrs. Shi going crazy. However, she thought that Mrs. Shi would at least control herself when they were outside. She never expected that Mrs. Shi would hit her at the train station.
"Ah ah ah ... Second Sister-in-law, let go of me ..."
Second Sister-in-law Shi put Cheng Xiuyun down on the ground with red eyes. Then, she sat on Cheng Xiuyun's stomach and raised her hand to give her a series of slaps.
"You bitch! You should go to hell! If it weren't for you, my son wouldn't have been executed. I'll kill you! I'll kill you! "
Mrs. Shi's eyes were red. She slapped, scratched, and scratched her. She used all the skills that a woman could use in a fight.
Cheng Xiuyun also wanted to resist, but she was no match for Second Sister-in-law Shi. Her cheeks were slapped red and swollen. Her face and neck were scratched with red marks, and a lot of her hair was pulled out. She was in so much pain that she cried.
"Second Brother, save me. Hurry up and get Second Sister-in-law away ..."
Mr. Shi did not expect his wife to be so fierce. He scolded her and tried to grab her. "Are you crazy? Get up now. Don't you feel ashamed? "
Second Sister-in-law turned around and slapped him in the face. "Your father and son were killed by this bitch, and you're still protecting her at this point. I'm starting to suspect that she drugged you, or that you two are having an affair."
Mr. Shi's face was red with anger. "Get up now. I'll teach you a lesson later!"
Second Sister-in-law Shi was slapped in the face. She looked at him coldly. "It seems that Shi Xiuneng, that b * stard, didn't call you to tell you that your father died of a brain hemorrhage three hours ago. His body is lying at home now. Since you're so protective of that b * tch, we'll divorce after my son is shot."
After that, Second Sister-in-law stood up and spat on their faces. Then, she walked away.
His father was dead?
Mr. Shi was scared out of his wits. "Lan, wait. You come back and tell me everything!"
Mrs. Shi did not look back. She straightened her back and walked out of the train station directly.
Cheng Xiuyun's limbs and bones hurt from the beating. Feeling the gazes of the people around her, she was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide.
At the same time, she had a bad feeling. Xiu Neng's uncle was dead and Mrs. Shi was going to divorce.
This time, she was afraid that nothing she said would work. The Shi family was going to fall apart.
**
Tong Xuelu put the matter to the back of her mind after she learned that Shi Junmin had been sentenced to death.
The alliance between the Shi and Cheng families was going to fall apart. Cheng Xiuyun was the only woman left.
If she wanted to deal with Cheng Xiuyun, she had to wait until the reform and opening up of the country.
However, things were different from her previous life. In her previous life, Cheng Xiuyun had two families supporting her. That was why she was able to force Wen Rugui into a corner. Things were different now.
The Shi and Cheng families had turned against each other. Shi Junmin's death would make her a thorn in the Shi family's side.
Cheng Xiuyun was no longer a threat.
After Shi Junmin's death sentence was announced, the students in the faculty went to the hospital to visit Qian Caixin.
Qian Caixin had already regained consciousness and was out of danger. However, she still had a lot of side effects.
She still vomited from time to time and had a splitting headache every day. There were also gaps in her memory. In short, she was miserable.
Tong Xuelu could not pretend that she did not know anything because she had been hit by the chandelier in her place.
Not only could she not pretend that she did not know anything, but she also had to look guilty and grateful. Otherwise, people would definitely blame her.
In order to shut everyone's mouth, she asked Old Mr. Wen and Grandpa to buy a lot of expensive tonics. There was malted milk powder, donkey-hide gelatin, and ginseng.
Seeing Tong Xuelu's generosity, everyone was so shocked that they could not close their mouths.
"Xuelu, isn't this too extravagant?"
"Yeah, there's even donkey-hide gelatin and ginseng. There are so many things. I'm afraid there are at least a few hundred, if not a thousand, right?"
"Luckily, it's your family. If it were me, I wouldn't even be able to afford malted milk powder, let alone donkey-hide gelatin and ginseng."
Tong Xuelu said with red eyes, "Although it was Gao Min who cut the rope of the chandelier, Qian Caixin also took the blame for me. Now that she's still lying in the hospital, I feel very uneasy and sad whenever I think about it."
"If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have become like this. If I had known, I would have continued to participate in the rehearsal even if I was crippled that day. Boohoo ..."
Seeing Tong Xuelu crying like a pear blossom in the rain, everyone hurriedly comforted her.
"Xuelu, don't cry. How could it be your fault? This is all Gao Min's fault. "
"Yeah, and it was Qian Caixin who tripped you first. Speaking of which, it's her own bad luck."
"Yeah, it's not your fault in the first place. Even if you didn't buy these things, no one would say anything about you. Don't cry."
Tong Xuelu wiped her tears and said, "No matter what, Qian Caixin took the blame for me. I hope these tonics can help her get better quickly. Let's hurry to the hospital."
She didn't believe their words, not even the punctuation marks.
If she really didn't do anything, people would definitely accuse her of being heartless. Gossip was a fearful thing. She would rather spend money to avoid disaster.
Moreover, Qian Caixin did take the blame for her. Although her motive was malicious, if she hadn't tripped her, she would be the one lying in the hospital now.
They arrived at the hospital.
Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they saw Qian Caixin's appearance.
Before the accident, Qian Caixin's face was rosy, full of vitality, and full of youthful vitality.
But now, Qian Caixin was lying sickly on the hospital bed. Her face was sallow, and she had lost a lot of weight. Most importantly, her mental state was very poor. She looked like a frosted eggplant, wilting.
Qian Caixin's family was very touched when they saw her classmates come to visit her. "It's good that you're here. You don't have to bring anything in the future."
Director Qian was also in the ward at this time. She nodded and said, "That's right. You're all students. Your monthly allowance isn't much. Don't bring anything in the future."
Jiang Baihui said, "What we brought was just a small token of our appreciation. What Xue Lu brought over is truly valuable."
Qian Caixin's mother heard this and hurriedly opened the things they brought. When she saw the donkey-hide gelatin and ginseng, her eyes widened.
"How can this be? We can't accept such valuable things. Hurry up and take them back. "
Director Qian glanced at Tong Xuelu and looked indescribably embarrassed. "Tong Xuelu, you can take these things back. We have these things."
Speaking of which, her niece suffered this time because of her own actions. She couldn't blame anyone else.
After the accident, she told her family about it. When her sister-in-law came back from abroad, she felt sorry for her daughter's suffering and also sighed that she didn't educate her daughter well.
In other words, her family didn't vent their anger on Tong Xuelu. If anyone was to blame, they could only blame that criminal, Gao Min.
"Qian Caixin became like this because of me. These are a little something from me. Please accept them. Otherwise, I won't be able to feel at ease."
Before Tong Xuelu came over, she was worried that the Qian family would give her the cold shoulder or mock her. She didn't expect them to be so reasonable.
Director Qian saw that Tong Xuelu spoke with deep feelings. She didn't know that she was tripped by her niece on purpose. Director Qian felt even more guilty. "We'll accept the malted milk powder. You can take the other things back. They're too valuable."
This girl was beautiful and kind. She also knew how to act. She was really a treasure.
If only she was her daughter.
Previously, she wanted Tong Xuelu to act as the female lead in her husband's movie. However, after this incident, she had to give up. She was worried that it would agitate her niece.
They weren't fated to be together.
Qian Caixin looked at them. Her eyes were filled with confusion. "Mom, who are they? Why do I feel like I've seen them somewhere before? "
When the students heard Qian Caixin's words, they were shocked again.
"Caixin, don't you remember us? We were your university classmates. "
"If you don't remember us, then do you remember the students from the French Department?"
Qian Caixin's gaze swept across their faces. When it swept past Tong Xuelu, her gaze lingered for the longest time.
In the end, she shook her head. "I can't remember."
The next moment, without waiting for anyone to speak, she retched. Then, she hugged her head and yelled that she had a headache.
Director Qian hurriedly called the doctor over.
Seeing how busy the Qian family was, the students could only wait outside.
After Qian Caixin was injected and fell asleep, Director Qian walked out of the ward with a tired face. "Caixin is already asleep. You can go back. You still have classes in the afternoon."
She then returned the donkey-hide gelatin and ginseng to Tong Xuelu. "Tong Xuelu, thank you."
Seeing that she didn't accept it, Tong Xuelu had no choice but to take it back.
When she returned to the dormitory and opened the box, she realized that there was an extra 20 yuan under the donkey-hide gelatin box. There was also a small note saying that it was the money they paid for the malted milk essence.
Tong Xuelu kept the money. She was still very curious about why Qian Caixin had targeted her previously.
The Qian family's parents were very cultured people. Furthermore, they didn't have any grudges with her family. Could it be that Qian Caixin was really just a little girl's jealousy?
Unable to think of a reason, Tong Xuelu stopped thinking about it.
**
On the weekend, they returned home.
Tong Xuelu made fish skin meat rolls, brown sugar mara cakes, and red oil alms chicken for Old Mr. Wen.
The fish skin meat rolls were made by removing the bones and bones of the fish and scraping out the fish paste with a knife. Then, sweet potato starch was added to make the skin. Finally, stuffing was wrapped and steamed.
The fish skin meat rolls were fresh, fragrant, and chewy. The more Old Mr. Wen ate, the better it tasted. His beard trembled as he ate. Obviously, he enjoyed it very much.
"Xuelu, your cooking skills are getting better and better. If it's not cooked by you, I won't be able to enjoy it."
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "Then, Grandpa Wen, you should eat more. I'll cook for you during the holidays."
Upon hearing this, Old Mr. Wen felt more comfortable than if he had eaten iced sugar water during the hottest days of the summer. "You're such a filial child."
After Old Mr. Wen finished eating, Tong Xuelu asked, "Grandpa Wen, before Gao Min passed away, she said something to me."
"What did she say?"
"She said that Ru Gui caused the death of her biological brother."
"Bang!" a loud sound was heard.
Old Mr. Wen was so shocked that his whole body trembled. His hand knocked against the bowl beside the table, causing it to fall onto the ground and break into two pieces.
Tong Xuelu initially thought that Gao Min was full of crap. However, after seeing Old Mr. Wen's reaction, her heart sank.
Old Mr. Wen's face gradually turned pale. Faced with Tong Xuelu's threatening gaze, he had no way to escape.
Finally, he let out a long sigh and said, "I didn't want to tell you this at first. I was worried that you'd despise Ru Gui because of this."
Tong Xuelu clenched her fists tightly and asked, "Grandpa Wen, what exactly happened? Please tell me the truth. "
Old Mr. Wen sighed again and began to talk about what happened back then.
It turned out that when Wen Rugui was four years old, Cheng Xiuyun was pregnant again. One time, Wen Rugui was playing in the living room and accidentally bumped into Cheng Xiuyun, who was coming out of the room. Coincidentally, there was a puddle of water in the area. Cheng Xiuyun slipped and fell heavily onto the ground, causing her to bleed profusely.
At that time, Cheng Xiuyun was already six months pregnant with a boy. Cheng Xiuyun suffered a lot because of the miscarriage. Hence, she hated Wen Rugui, her biological son.
"How old was Ru Gui at that time? Besides, he didn't do it on purpose. That woman put all the blame on him and even said that he caused the death of his biological brother. You have no idea how dumb he was when we found out that he had been abused for an entire year."
"Ru Gui used to be a cheerful and obedient child. Later on, he became timid and afraid of strangers. He wouldn't respond to anything you said to him and would often stay in his room alone for the entire day. I was worried that he would be like that for the rest of his life. Later on, he met his mentor, Inspector Jiao, and gradually got better after he came into contact with physics."
Being abused and being accused of causing the death of his own brother was a huge blow to a four-year-old child.
The veins on the back of Tong Xuelu's hands were exposed and her eyes were bloodshot.
She began to understand why Wen Rugui ended up in a dead end in her previous life. From Old Mr. Wen's description, Wen Rugui should have been abused to the point of autism when he was young. He might even have been depressed.
Although his personality improved after he came into contact with physics, there was no way to cure it completely. Once the same memory and pain were triggered again, it was very likely that his illness would relapse again.
In her previous lifetime, Cheng Xiuyun probably used this to force Wen Rugui into a dead end again.
Old Mr. Wen wiped his tears and said, "I didn't tell you because I was worried that you would despise Ru Gui. Xuelu, Ru Gui is a poor child. Please don't despise him."
Tong Xuelu blinked and forced her tears back. "Don't worry, Grandpa Wen. I won't."
How could she despise him because of this? She would only feel more sorry for him.
Old Mr. Wen was gratified. "I knew you were a good child. Oh yes, please don't mention this to Ru Gui. He doesn't remember what happened when he was young."
Tong Xuelu was stunned. "You mean Ru Gui doesn't remember knocking Cheng Xiuyun down?"
Old Mr. Wen nodded. "He doesn't remember this incident, nor does he remember that he has a younger brother. We've never mentioned it in front of him."
Hearing this, Tong Xuelu felt even more upset.
From a psychological point of view, when an experience was too painful, the human brain would most likely activate its self-protection mechanism and seal the memory away.
Wen Rugui didn't remember this incident not because he was too young, but because his memory was sealed because it was too painful.
The more Tong Xuelu thought about it, the more upset she felt. She really wanted to see Wen Rugui immediately.
Hence, she took her military bag and boarded the car to the military base.
**
On the car, Tong Xuelu felt terrible at the thought of Wen Rugui being abused when he was young.
If she had known earlier, she would have slapped Cheng Xiuyun a few times that day.
It took her four hours to reach the military base after a bumpy ride.
Tong Xuelu ignored her tiredness and dizziness and hurriedly rushed to the military base.
The security guard at the military base still remembered her. When he saw her, he immediately flashed his white teeth. "You're Researcher Wen's girlfriend. Are you here to look for Researcher Wen?"
Tong Xuelu nodded. "Can I go in? Or should I inform Comrade Wen to come and pick me up? "
The security guard initially wanted to call Wen Rugui to come out and pick her up. Although they knew each other, the military base was not an ordinary place and non-staff members were not allowed to enter.
However, Director Zhuang happened to be returning to the military base. When he heard that Tong Xuelu was Wen Rugui's fiancée, he hurriedly told the security guard not to call and that he could bring her in.
This was the first time Tong Xuelu had met Director Zhuang. She immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Zhuang. I often hear about you from Ru Gui. I heard that you are a courageous and considerate leader. It's really better to see you in person than to hear about you a hundred times."
Since ancient times, no one had ever been able to resist the charm of flattery.
Upon hearing Tong Xuelu's words, the wrinkles on Director Zhuang's face could no longer be maintained. "You're flattering me. It's my duty to care for my subordinates."
Tong Xuelu took the opportunity to flatter Director Zhuang from all angles. She praised Director Zhuang so much that he wanted to acknowledge her as his granddaughter on the spot.
At this moment, in Wen Rugui's dormitory.
Zhou Yan and Huang Qimin were eating melon seeds and chatting.
Huang Qimin said, "I have a mole near my tailbone. That's not strange. What's strange is that my son has a mole too. It's the same place, and it looks exactly the same. Don't you think it's strange?"
Before Wen Rugui could answer, Zhou Yan shouted, "No way, I also have a mole near my tailbone."
As he spoke, he stood up and pulled down his pants to show Huang Qimin his mole.
Wen Rugui was speechless.
Huang Qimin was amazed. He also pulled down his pants to show Zhou Yan his mole.
Wen Rugui was speechless.
Even after they looked at each other, they still felt that it wasn't enough.
Zhou Yan said, "Ru Gui, help us see if our mole is in the same position. Whose mole is bigger?"
Huang Qimin said, "I heard that if the birthmark is in the same position, it's very likely that you were relatives in your previous life, or that you came from the same tribe."
Zhou Yan said, "Really? We're so fated. Maybe we were brothers in our previous lives. Ru Gui, help us see if our birthmarks are in the same position. "
Huang Qimin said, "Yeah, help us see."
After speaking, the two of them leaned against the wall and pulled down their pants a little.
Wen Rugui was speechless. "You guys study science. Why do you still believe in this kind of saying?"
Zhou Yan said, "It doesn't matter if we believe it or not. We just find it interesting."
Huang Qimin nodded. "Don't dawdle. Come and help us see."
Wen Rugui had no choice but to stand up and walk over. He wanted to take a look and tell them to hurry back to their dormitory.
Unexpectedly, just as he walked behind the two of them, the door was pushed open at this moment.
Tong Xuelu pushed the door open and saw Huang Qimin and Zhou Yan leaning against the wall with half of their cleavage exposed. Wen Rugui stood behind them.
Tong Xuelu was speechless.
Wen Rugui was speechless.
Huang Qimin was speechless.
Zhou Yan was speechless.
