Eye of Sin

Chapter 652: Slip of the tongue

"Neither. We simply came to you to find out some information, but we didn't expect to see you committing suicide by chance." Ning Shuyi denied her guess.

"You came to me... to find out about the situation?" Mi Ling was very disappointed with this answer, and then she realized the other meaning behind Ning Shuyi's words, "Is there anything in me that is worth you coming to me to find out about the situation?"

"Xu Li is someone you know, right?" Ning Shuyi asked.

Hearing Xu Li's name, the originally weak Mi Ling suddenly became excited. Her eyes suddenly opened, and she forced herself to sit up, almost tearing out the needle in her arm.

Ning Shuyi hurriedly helped her up: "Don't sit up, you can still talk while lying down!"

"Didn't you say that no one asked you to come and save me?" Mi Ling was so weak that she couldn't even sit up. She felt dizzy and blacked out after a little effort. She had no choice but to lie back down reluctantly, following Ning Shuyi's instructions. "Since no one asked you to look for me, why did you mention Xu Li in front of me?"

The question she raised was equivalent to answering Ning Shuyi's previous question. Ning Shuyi shrugged: "Give me a reason why we came to find you and Xu Li."

"Because I told him that I was in that hotel and I didn't have the strength to live anymore, he didn't want to go find me in person, so he called the police and asked you to go find me...

I understand..." Mi Ling closed her eyes in pain, "You said he called him here, not only to save me, but also to warn me to stay away from him, right?"

"I'm afraid you guessed wrong. Xu Li doesn't have the energy to do this right now." Ning Shuyi heard her say this and told her directly, "Xu Li was stabbed and is still in danger."

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Mi Ling suddenly became anxious. She struggled to sit up without caring about anything else. Seeing bright red blood appearing in the classic tube in her hand, she felt dizzy and stared at Ning Shuyi with black eyes. Her voice suddenly rose several octaves.

"Don't get excited!" Ning Shuyi saw that she was doomed to be unable to lie still, so she quickly helped her up and adjusted her pillow. She then helped her sit up and leaned against the headboard, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, so please tell me what's going on."

"When did Xu Li say he was stabbed?! Who did it?!" Mi Ling was pale as a bloodless person, but when she heard that Xu Li was still in danger, she was too anxious to care about anything else. She reached out and grabbed Ning Shuyi's wrist, as if she was afraid that she would run away without answering her questions. "What do you mean by still in danger? How could it be so serious?!"

She was very weak now. Even though she tried desperately to hold Ning Shuyi's wrist, she couldn't exert much strength. If Ning Shuyi wanted to pull her hand away, she wouldn't need to exert any effort at all. But she didn't do that. She just silently let her hold her hand.

"We are currently investigating who the perpetrator of yesterday's incident is, so we wanted to find you to find out more about the situation. I didn't expect that you also..." Ning Shuyi said to her.

Mi Ling was trembling all over: "How could this happen... How could it end up like this..."

"Tell me about yourself, why are you so depressed? Is it related to Xu Li?" Ning Shuyi asked. "It has nothing to do with him. It's my own problem. I don't have the strength to live anymore. I torture myself mentally every day. I can't bear it anymore. I just want to be relieved." Mi Ling's eyes were a little wet. She seemed to be too weak to cry. "I am such a failure. I can't handle my emotions and live my life well. Living is too tiring. I'd rather die..."

"You don't really want to die, do you? Maybe you have had this thought in your mind, but you don't have the courage in your bones. Until you cut your wrist, you didn't really make up your mind to die." Ning Shuyi shook her head and said firmly, "You hope that someone cares about you, guesses that you may want to commit suicide due to emotional factors, and can find you. It would be best if this person is Xu Li, if not, your mother is also fine.

Or, it could be that your mother told someone else.

In short, your desire to die out of anger is real, and your pain is real, but death itself is not the result you most expect. "

Mi Ling shivered and looked at Ning Shuyi in disbelief. She wanted to refute her, but she lacked the confidence. She could only ask back, "How can you be sure that I don't really want to die?!"

"Because you are right-handed." Ning Shuyi looked at Mi Ling's right hand holding his wrist, "As a right-handed person, if you really want to end your life by cutting your wrist, the best choice is to use your right hand to cut your left wrist. This is more convenient and easier to use.

But you did the opposite and used your left hand to cut your right wrist. Your strength was not enough and you subconsciously left yourself a glimmer of hope."

Mi Ling was a little stunned. She didn't expect Ning Shuyi to explain her subconscious thoughts so clearly, which made her unable to refute.

"Since you are expecting Xu Li to come and save you, do you dare to say that your actions have nothing to do with him?" Ning Shuyi asked.

Mi Ling's tears flowed down, and she said stubbornly: "He doesn't care at all, so why should I flatter myself? Whatever I say, I'm trying to kill myself and it has nothing to do with him."

These words were full of resentment. Ning Shuyi did not respond to the question, but asked: "What is your relationship with Xu Li? Xu Li was attacked this time. Do you have any guesses about who the perpetrator is?"

Mi Ling's face changed slightly. She wanted to shake her head, but she swayed because of dizziness: "No! Stop making blind guesses! We don't even know each other. Don't act like you know everything about my life and everything about me."

"You should know whether I have made any 'blind guesses' from just now to now." Ning Shuyi looked at her with a firm gaze, "So you are also struggling now, right? You care about Xu Li, and there are other people you want to protect, so you don't know how to choose."

"No, I don't want to protect anyone! He is not that kind of person and can't do such a terrible thing! I was just saying it out of anger before!" Mi Ling blurted out with a painful look on her face.

As soon as she said this, she realized that she had said something wrong and hurriedly stopped talking, but it was too late. She could only look at Ning Shuyi nervously, and the hand holding her wrist subconsciously tightened.
