Eye of Sin

Chapter 712 Dilemma
"Anyway, the one who suffered the most in the end of this case is Ji Sanbao's wife, Ji Chuan's mother." Qi Tianhua sighed and shook his head, "Her husband is dead, and the murderer is her son. For her, this is like the sky falling.

According to what we have learned, from the time Ji Chuan was identified as a suspect and summoned to the police station, until he was transferred to the procuratorate, Ji Sanbao's wife had attempted suicide three times.

In the end, there was really no other way. Relatives and friends at home took turns to accompany her but they couldn't keep an eye on her. In addition, she was too traumatized and was already a little mentally unclear, so she had to be sent to a mental hospital for care...

Basically, this family is completely destroyed.”

Ning Shuyi also felt very sad and didn't feel well.

Many times, for criminal police, the crime process of the case itself or the experience of the victim are not what makes them feel the most sympathetic. Instead, the results of the criminal case that has already occurred have brought adverse effects to one or more families for a long period of time. Such harm is continuous.

Anyway, the two cases were concluded and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

I have been very busy recently. The cases are not particularly troublesome, but the accumulation of them is really tiring.

After the case was over, Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan, who had been working non-stop for several days, were given the opportunity to take a compensatory day off. When they returned home, a sumptuous meal was naturally waiting for them.

According to Ning's father, although he can't help with other things, he will definitely provide logistical support.

Ning Shuyi washed up early after dinner and went back to her room to sleep. She slept soundly and deeply. When she was woken up by the phone the next day, it was almost noon.

She sat up from the bed reflexively, grabbed the phone, and took a closer look. The name on the screen was Liang Xuanming. Her heart, which had been hanging in the balance for a moment, finally settled down.

"Hey! Xiaoyi, what are you doing? Haven't you had lunch? I heard from uncle and aunt that you and Huo Yan are taking a make-up day off today? Come out and I'll treat you two to a meal." Liang Xuanming's tone on the other end of the phone was very relaxed, but he spoke very quickly.

Ning Shuyi glanced at the time again and thought for a while: "Don't eat yet. There's a new coffee shop near the community. The environment looks good. Let's meet there later.

It's not the right time to talk while eating. I'm afraid you'll have time to talk, and we might just be so busy eating that we won't be able to listen!"

Liang Xuanming was stunned for a moment, then he smiled: "Okay, then we'll see you later!"

About half an hour later, Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan walked into a newly opened coffee shop which was only a ten-minute walk from the community. As soon as they walked in, they saw Liang Xuanming waving at them from a distance.

There were three cups of coffee on the table in front of him.

The two of them went over and sat down opposite Liang Xuanming.

"Tell me, what is it that you want help from us two?" Ning Shuyi asked directly as soon as he sat down.

Liang Xuanming has known her for many years, so he was not surprised. He grinned and said, "Oh, what else could I want to talk to you about? It's just about Xiaoyue!
What I think of her, not to mention you two, I guess my uncle and aunt also know it clearly, right? "

Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan nodded in tacit understanding.

Not to mention Father Ning and Mother Ning, even Old Man Xing who moved in later to live with Huo Yan might have figured out the trick.

"The problem now is that I know exactly what I feel for Xiaoyue, but... I can't figure out what Xiaoyue thinks of me. In the past few months, I have been trying to find opportunities to spend time with her, but it feels like the two of us are still standing still, without the feeling of taking any further steps. I am even afraid that if I appear too enthusiastic and too anxious, I will scare her away again.

But we are always standing still, and I am unsure about what to do, so I want to discuss this with you guys."

Ning Shuyi was not surprised that he would talk to her about this topic. After thinking for a while, she asked Liang Xuanming: "If my sister really doesn't have the kind of feelings between men and women for you, what would you do?"

Liang Xuanming was stunned. It was obvious that he did not like Ning Shuyi's question. This was also a possibility that he had always been unwilling to think about.

But now that Ning Shuyi had asked this question in such a straightforward way, he had no choice but to face it. After a slight hesitation, he looked up at Huo Yan and said, "Huo Yan, did you ever think that Xiaoyi might not like you?"

"I have thought about it." Huo Yan nodded very frankly. "At that time, I thought she was good in every way, so good that I couldn't afford her, so I didn't dare to think that while I liked her, she also liked me."

"Then, if you confessed your feelings seriously, but she rejected you, what would you do?" Liang Xuanming asked quickly.

"That depends on whether she is unsure whether I am serious enough about the relationship or simply doesn't like me as a person." Huo Yan replied, "If she is worried that I am not serious enough or not considering it comprehensively enough, I can prove my determination to her.

If you simply don't like me as a person, then I will apply for transfer to another group or position.

After all, it is better for us to be strangers than to keep pestering each other and make them afraid when they see me."

Liang Xuanming seemed to be thinking about something, then smiled bitterly: "I have scared Xiaoyue away once before, and this time I was really scared that it would turn out like that again.

We were all young back then, and even if we wasted a few years or took a detour, at least we still had a chance to start over.

But now, I am over 30 years old. If I scare Xiaoyue away again, I guess this will be the end of my life...

I am afraid that if I take a step forward, she will feel burdened, but if I take a step back, I am unwilling to do so. The feeling of standing still is too torturous, and I don’t know what to do.”

"Liang Xuanming, I know you can't let go of my sister. This has never changed over the years. As a bystander, I am also very moved." Ning Shuyi sighed and said to Liang Xuanming, "But for my sister, she just struggled to climb out of the trap she fell into before, and her injuries may not have healed yet.

I can only say that from before until now, you have been able to accompany her and she has not rejected you, which means she does not hate you. "

When Liang Xuanming heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Don't be too happy yet!" Ning Shuyi signaled him to calm down, "But it takes time for people to get over the pain, and we really can't push her too much at this time.

Besides, she is no longer a little girl in her early twenties with only romantic fantasies in her mind.

After the failed relationship with Nie Guang, she also grew up.

Maybe in your memory, my sister is always the little girl you have had a crush on since your youth, but in reality, she has grown up. If you still treat her the same way you did more than ten years ago by eating, playing, and making her laugh to show your affection to her, I don’t think the effect will be good.”
