Chapter 179 Why Are You So Naive?
Ward.
When Lin Zhiyi woke up, Gong Chen had already left.
After regaining her strength, she stood up and drank some water, just in time to see a figure swaying at the door.
"Who?" she called out.
The door was pushed open a crack and Xiaojie's head came in.
"Auntie."
"Stop making trouble." The eldest sister pulled away Xiaojie's body that was blocking the way in front of her, pushed the door open and walked in, "Miss, thank you so much this time. I'll make some food, please don't be disgusted."
"How could that be? Thank you, I'm just hungry." Lin Zhiyi was embarrassed to refuse, so he agreed with a smile.
The eldest sister opened the thermos, poured a bowl of millet porridge, and handed over two pieces of cake.
She carefully packed the remaining food back.
Lin Zhiyi asked suspiciously: "Sister, are you..."
"Xiaojie's father is still in the intensive care unit, so he can eat as much as he can." The eldest sister said with red eyes.
Lin Zhiyi thought for a moment and asked, "Does Xiaojie being thrown into the river have anything to do with his father?"
Perhaps because what he said hit the nail on the head, the eldest sister burst into tears.
"They are nothing! They did something wrong and forced us to sign."
"Sister, who are you talking about?"
“That’s it…” The eldest sister bit her lip, “Forget it, it’s useless for me to say it, Miss, thank you so much this time, we’ll leave first.”
The eldest sister took Xiao Jie away, but unexpectedly Xiao Jie turned around and stuffed the small bamboo basket around his waist into Lin Zhiyi's hand.
"Auntie, I'll protect you."
Lin Zhiyi looked at the palm-sized bamboo basket and smiled: "Thank you."
After the mother and son left, Lin Zhiyi was always uneasy, always feeling that she had missed something.
After lying down, as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw the two men who threw Xiaojie into the river.
She was in such a hurry at the time that she only took a quick glance, but now thinking back, she seemed to have seen these two people before.
Suddenly, Lin Zhiyi opened his eyes wide and sat up abruptly from the bed.
It’s… the person who followed her at the night market!
Not only that, she had also seen one of them in one place.
In the hotel restaurant in the morning, Gong Chen was followed by two middle-aged men, one of the bodyguards behind them.
Gong Chen came here to deal with the mine, so these two middle-aged men are...
Mr. Gong’s cousin.
In order to verify his idea, Lin Zhiyi got up, put on his coat and left the ward.
After asking the nurse, she found the intensive care unit, but before she could knock on the door, she heard an argument coming from the corridor next to her.
A man who looked like a lawyer stood in front of the eldest sister.
"Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Do you know who you have offended? Hurry and sign the letter."
"You said before that you would cure my husband. Even if you give me 50,000 now, it's not enough to cover his treatment for a week. I won't sign." The eldest sister choked up.
"Don't sign? It seems you don't want your son."
"You..." The skin on the eldest sister's pale face was trembling.
Lin Zhiyi frowned and was about to step forward when suddenly someone covered her mouth and nose from behind and dragged her towards the stairwell.
She looked at the empty corridor and thought it was unlikely that she could call for help.
In panic, she felt for the small bamboo basket in her pocket, and when she reached inside, she found three insects.
She didn't know what kind of insect it was.
She only knew that she could still be saved, so she grabbed the insect and thrust it into the eyes of the man behind her.
"what!"
The man exclaimed and let go of Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi ran down the stairs without looking back.
The intensive care unit has only two floors, and the lobby is just downstairs, so her chances of getting help are greater.
Lin Zhiyi thought he had escaped danger, but unexpectedly someone showed up out of nowhere.
A figure jumped out from the corridor, grabbed her, and shot her in the arm.
Lin Zhiyi clearly felt her body going limp, and when she closed her eyes, she only saw a pure black helmet.
The man looked at Lin Zhiyi lying on the ground, put away the needle, and chuckled: "I'm not the only one who wants to kill you. Goodbye, Lin Zhiyi."
……
Gong Chen returned to the hospital with food, looked at the empty ward, turned around and knocked the bodyguard down with a punch.
"Is this your protection?"
"I'm sorry, Third Master, I just went to the restroom." The bodyguard said fearfully.
"Who has been here?"
"The mother and child that Miss Lin saved. I just asked the nurses, and they said they saw Miss Lin coming downstairs to look for them..."
Before he could finish his words, Gong Chen had already disappeared.
Downstairs, a mother and son were walking away tiredly holding hands, and were startled to see the aggressive man coming towards them.
"Where is Lin Zhiyi?" Gong Chen asked straight to the point.
"Isn't she...resting upstairs?" the eldest sister stuttered.
At this time, Xiao Jie shook off his elder sister's hand, lay on the ground and picked up an insect.
"Mom, why is Xiao Hei here? Didn't I give her to Auntie to protect her?"
Hearing this, Gong Chen followed the traces left by the insect, turned around and entered the stairwell, and finally saw a small bamboo basket on the ground at the corner of the first floor.
Xiaojie pointed and said, "I gave it to my auntie!"
Gong Chen held the small bamboo basket and looked up at Chen Jin.
Chen Jin quickly took people to check the surroundings and finally found the used syringe in the trash can outside the building.
"Third Master, it's a tranquilizer. But judging from the surveillance outside, taking Miss Lin away should be..."
Chen Jin handed over the tablet and pointed to a suspicious cleaner pushing a cart in the surveillance video.
With his sturdy body and stable lower body, there is no way he can be a cleaner.
Just by glancing at the face, Gong Chen already knew everything.
His face was gloomy, and he stared at the needle tube with his eyes downcast: "Find him for me too."
Chen Jin nodded: "Yes."
……
wow——
Lin Zhiyi was awakened by a large basin of cold water. She coughed twice and felt that the air she exhaled was about to freeze.
After waking up, she raised her eyes and saw the person in front of her clearly.
Sure enough, they were the two middle-aged men who followed Gong Chen into the restaurant in the morning.
"You two should be the elders of the Gong family, right?"
When Lin Zhiyi asked the question, he clenched his fists and tried to make his voice sound calmer.
Uncle Six sneered, "Oh, you recognized me. What a pity. Now it's useless even if you try to establish a relationship with me."
She was carried into the darkness, and after seeing the surroundings clearly, fear slowly overwhelmed her heart.
This is... a mine.
There was silence all around. The mine tunnel, which was cordoned off, was as dark as a bottomless abyss waiting to swallow everything.
Lin Zhiyi knew very well that if he didn't do something, he would die without a burial place.
She looked at her talkative sixth uncle and pretended to be scared and helpless.
"You two, there is no hatred between us, why are you doing this to me? Please let me go, okay?"
Uncle Six became more interested when he heard Lin Zhiyi's trembling voice. He sneered, "We have no grudges against each other. It's your fault that you insisted on having things that didn't belong to you, and you saw things you shouldn't have seen. You are doomed to die."
Lin Zhiyi didn't understand the deep meaning of the first sentence, but she thought of the scene of Xiaojie being thrown into the water, and quickly retorted: "The Liu family has been defeated, and the mine incident can't be concealed for long. If something happens to me here, you will have no way to explain it."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Six burst into laughter.
"Why are you so naive?"
