Thirteen prisons

Chapter 43 Questioning
Lin Jing's recovery process was full of fantasy, even if Lu Ming only described it briefly and objectively, it sounded incredible.

The change starts in the afternoon.Without warning, the red threads on Lin Jing's body began to thicken, like plants growing at an accelerated rate.Lin Jing was biting her lips in a coma, her face was pale, and she looked very painful.

Lu Ming was calm on the surface, but his heartbeat also accelerated at this time. If the previous guess was correct, this change should be benign, but he didn't know what to do, so he had to stand where he was and observe Yan Yi's expression.

Yan Yi didn't move either, his head was covered with sweat, his eyes were fixed on Lin Jing's body changes, and his body trembled slightly.

Under the gaze of the two, the red silk thread tightly wrapped around Lin Jing became thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye, like duckweed blown by the wind, spreading in all directions, and finally, like a ripe fruit, slowly detached from the body and fell. On the ground, gradually enveloping the bed.The whole process lasted about an hour. After all the red substance fell off, Lin Jing's trembling body gradually calmed down, and her normal skin was exposed.

Zhou Yuan imagined this weird scene, but thought of Lin He.He was alone in that dark and deserted warehouse, and he had the same experience, right?

Lin Jing's recovery is a good thing, but they already know that after the short recovery, there will be greater dangers. Not only is it not much easier, but the atmosphere is even more dull.Zhou Yuan didn't know what to say, but Lao Hu lowered his head in deep thought. After a while, he suddenly asked another question: "What problem did you find about Yan Yi?"

"Eat first. You will know when you get back." Lu Ming stopped talking, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Lu Ming rarely played tricks like this, but Zhou Yuan understood that he would not say such things for no reason, even though he had no appetite, he still managed to eat half a bowl of rice by himself.

After returning to the small building, Lu Ming took the two of them straight to the second floor.

After only a few hours, Lin Jing's complexion returned to her usual color. Although she was still lying on the bed weakly, she looked no different from an ordinary person.

"Lin Jing's recovery has confirmed my hypothesis that her illness has reached a new stage. This also shows that Mr. Yan Yi's previous treatment of her was problematic. So I suggest that a new treatment should be adopted next. method." Lu Ming said bluntly.

"Oh?" Yan Yi was a little surprised, and glanced at Lu Ming: "Then what do you think should be done?"

"It is said to be treatment, but it is actually an experiment. I am not too sure. In short, there must be a certain risk. Therefore, the patient's consent is required. After all, we do not want to have any more emergencies."

Yan Yi turned to Zhou Yuan as if he hadn't heard this sentence: "Mr. Zhou Yuan, Lin Jing just recovered today, and he lost a lot of blood in his body. Please give him some blood."

Yan Yi's request is reasonable, after all, if the red substance is mutated from the blood in the body, Lin Jing will lose a lot of blood, and he really needs a blood transfusion.It's just that he made this request suddenly, as if deliberately ignoring Lu Ming, which made Zhou Yuan a little embarrassed.

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Yuan still rolled up his sleeves, but suddenly Lao Hu quietly pulled him from the side, and gently shook his head in Lu Ming's direction.Zhou Yuan suddenly remembered what Lu Ming told him before.

"From now on, you have to reject all requests made by Yan Yi."

Zhou Yuan glanced at Lin Jing who was lying on the bed, and finally his trust in Lu Ming prevailed, and he put his hand down.

"I agree." Lin Jing who was on the hospital bed suddenly said softly, "I have already suffered from one illness, and I am not afraid of repeating it." Lin Jing's voice was very soft, but she could hear the determination inside.

Zhou Yuan somewhat understood what Lu Ming meant. Since the next treatment would be very dangerous, Lu Ming would definitely not want to experiment on Zhou Yuan.He said this in public because he wanted to force Lin Jing to agree.But how could Zhou Yuan have the heart to do this, he blurted out: "No, Lin Jing has suffered enough, I will come!"

Lu Ming sneered, but ignored Zhou Yuan and Lin Jing, but looked at Yan Yi: "Old Yan, what do you think should be done?"

Yan Yi's face became a little ugly: "What do you mean?"

Only then did Zhou Yuan feel that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, and things seemed not as simple as he thought.

Lu Ming watched Yan Yi for 2 minutes, and finally spoke: "Actually, there may not be other ways."

All eyes in the room focused on his face at the same time.

Lu Ming's expression was calm and his tone was normal, but what he said next was like a thunderbolt in the room: "Because there is a third patient in this room besides Zhou Yuan and Lin Jing. And his state , for Zhou Yuan and Lin Jing's condition, it seems more suitable for experimental treatment."

Zhou Yuan was taken aback for a moment, but didn't react.

But Lin Jing let out an "ah", covered her mouth and looked at Hu Dongdong.Lao Hu was also taken aback: "I was infected?"

Lu Ming said lightly: "There is a simple way to know the answer immediately." He took out a few thermometers from his pocket.I divided one for Hu Dongdong and myself, and handed the last one to Yan Yi, saying, "Am I right, Old Yan?"

Yan Yi's body visibly shook, and he looked at Lu Ming in astonishment: "Are you kidding me? I'm not sick. What kind of temperature should be taken?"

"Then what are you afraid of?" Lao Hu seemed to understand something, and put the thermometer under his tongue: "I'll come first."

"Nonsense!" Yan Yi suddenly went into a rage, and dropped the thermometer to the ground, with a soft bang, glass shards splashed everywhere.

Seeing his gaffe, Zhou Yuan immediately understood what Lu Ming meant in the afternoon, and was horrified. Could it be that Yan Yi was infected?When did it happen?And why are you so nervous?
The corner of Lu Ming's mouth twitched, he didn't know if it was a sneer or something, but he looked at Yan Yi with a cold expression.

Lin Jing also became nervous, and sat up from the bed: "Godfather? It's good to have a test if you're okay, don't worry me!"

Lu Ming slowly took out another thermometer from his pocket: "Mr. Yan, it's good for everyone if some things are clarified."

Yan Yi took a step back subconsciously.Lin Jing looked surprised and uncertain, looked at Lu Ming, then at Yan Yi, and found that something seemed wrong.

Under everyone's gaze, Yan Yi suddenly lost his temper.He didn't connect the thermometer, took two steps back, and sat down on the chair.

Lu Ming let out a sigh of relief and looked at him: "Old Yan, it's hard for you to hide it from us."

Lin Jing suddenly jumped off the bed emotionally and hugged Yan Yi: "Godfather, when did you get sick? Why didn't you tell me?"

Lu Ming answered, "Lin Jing, haven't you noticed that he has been avoiding physical contact with you?"

Lin Jing suddenly raised her head and said, "What do you mean?"

Lu Ming looked at her and said, "His body temperature has never been lower than 39 degrees since he became your godfather. I'm right, Mr. Yan?"

"What did you say? How is it possible?" Lin Jing called out.

Lu Ming added another sentence: "Mr. Yan, should you take us to see Li Aihua's grave now? Sometimes, the words of the dead are more credible than the living."

Hearing this sentence, Yan Yi became more and more depressed.Lin Jing hugged him and burst into tears.Although Zhou Yuan knew that Lu Ming would do something to Yan Yi, he never expected the result to be like this.

Lin Jing cried sadly, but Yan Yi remained motionless.Lu Ming signaled Hu Dongdong to help Lin Jing get up, but Lin Jing ignored her, raised her head and said to Yan Yi with tears in her eyes: "Godfather, I'm dying, I will accompany you, you take me back to the United States, I don't want to stay here."

Lu Ming shook his head and sighed: "Lin Jing, you are so kind. Ask your godfather why he lied to us that he adopted you from your father, but never said that you were an orphan. Also, he I know what happened to your body, why didn’t I tell you? What kind of purpose does he have? In addition, we have already found that red blood in the Wudou warehouse, but Mr. Yan obviously tested it out What was that, but he didn't tell us. Lin Jing, if he was really doing it for your own good, why didn't he take the initiative to tell you about so many things?"

Every time she said a word, Lin Jing's face turned pale, and finally she even covered her ears and shouted: "Enough, I won't listen, I won't listen, my godfather won't lie to me, you lie to others."

Lu Ming raised his voice and said, "Whether you lied to someone or not, you will know when you see Li Aihua's grave."

Lin Jing turned her head and looked at Yan Yi: "Godfather, you should say something, tell them that these are all guesses, but it's not the case at all."

Yan Yi finally raised his head, looked at Lu Ming complicatedly, then looked at Lao Hu, and finally landed on Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan lowered his head, unwilling to meet his gaze.He didn't expect things to turn out like this. What Lu Ming said just now not only broke through Yan Yi's defense, but also shocked Zhou Yuan.Although he has always wanted to know the truth, it would be too inhuman for Lu Ming to expose the truth so directly, so he didn't know what kind of expression he should use to face this deceitful self. Go up poor old man.

Yan Yi stood up slowly: "I will lead you there."

Unexpectedly, Yan Yi went out but did not go down the mountain, but led them to the mountain road behind the house.

Zhou Yuan has an impression of this road. He and Lin Jing watched the stars on the top of the building. Yan Yi took this road to pick evening primroses. Last time, he was afraid that Yan Yi would find out that he didn’t follow. How could he expect Li Aihua’s grave to be there? here?
After walking for about ten minutes, I arrived at the place where I saw Yan Yi picking evening primrose last time.Yan Yi walked to the east for a while, the road became more and more desolate, and the weeds around were getting taller and taller. You could see a path stepped on the weedy ground, and the grass collapsed to the west and sides .After walking some distance along the path, Yan Yi suddenly stopped, pointed to the front and said, "That's it."

Three to five meters away, there is a tombstone made of stone, which has been somewhat dilapidated and weathered. Underneath is a pile of green grass that rises above the ground, and the shape of the tomb can be roughly seen. On the ground under the wooden sign, there is a stone platform, on which Some fruits and a bottle of wine. The fruit is not rotten, and the wine is full and unopened. It should have been placed not long ago.Zhou Yuan suddenly realized that he probably didn't pick any herbs that night, but came here to worship.

Lao Hu was the first to walk over, knelt down and looked at the tombstone, and suddenly said "Huh?" "What's the name on the tombstone?"

Because of weathering, the handwriting on the tombstone is a little blurry, but if you look carefully, you can still tell that it says "the tomb of my sister Yan Aihua". Daughter-in-law Li Hongxia stands up."

Zhou Yuan couldn't turn around for a while: "What's going on?"

"It really is. In fact, there is no Li Aihua at all. The so-called Li Aihua is actually Yan Yi's biological sister, Yan Aihua." Lu Ming was not surprised, and said with such an expression.

Yan Yi looked at the tombstone, stepped forward to caress the tombstone, and sighed: "Yes, Yan Aihua is my sister."

Old Hu said: "Then why did you lie to us?"

Yan Yi frowned and said nothing, Lu Ming said lightly: "Let me explain."

"In the story he told us, he changed Yan Aihua to Li Aihua. In this way, he took care of Li Hongxia and became Li Hongxia's sister's entrustment. He didn't need to expose his personal relationship with Li Hongxia and mislead us, lest we know Lin Jing With Lin He's true identity, he can also maintain his bright and righteous image. Isn't that right, Old Yan?"

The most surprised one was obviously Lin Jing, she suddenly turned her head to look at Yan Yi.
Yan Yi's face began to twitch, and after a long time, he reached out and touched Lin Jing's head: "That's right, I am the biological father of you and Lin He."

Lin Jing trembled all over, and repeated in disbelief: "Father?"

Yan Yi made up his mind and nodded vigorously: "Yes, Lin Jing, I am your father."

Lin Jing's eyes widened: "You...why didn't you say it after so many years?"

Yan Yi's old tears flowed down, and he supported Lin Jing's body to slowly slump to the ground: "I'm sorry, Lin Jing, I'm a coward, whether it's you or this disease. I was really wrong!"

Lin Jing looked at Lu Ming with a broken expression: "What is he talking about? I don't understand!"

Lu Ming shook his head. It is better for Yan Yi to take the initiative to say some things.

Yan Yi raised his head: "I'm sorry, Lin Jing. I abandoned your mother when she needed me the most, and I also abandoned you. I am not worthy to be your father."

Lin Jing's tears finally flowed down: "But why did you come back? My brother, what's going on?"

Yan Yi's lips trembled, but he didn't answer, Lin Jing screamed: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, you are all lying to me."

Lu Ming supported Lin Jing: "Lin Jing, Mr. Yan came back to China because of this illness."

"Enough, let me say it." Yan Yi seemed to have suddenly gained courage, raised his head and said, "Lin Jing, it is indeed because of this illness that I came back, but I can't use my own body for experiments, because then you may will be orphaned forever."

"So you made Lin He the test subject, right? Then me, and then Zhou Yuan?" Lin Jing understood, and her voice gradually became colder.

Yan Yi was a little flustered, grabbed Lin Jing's arm and shook it: "No, Lin He ran away by himself, I don't know why he did that. His death was an accident, I regret it..."

"Ah——!" Lin Jing finally collapsed, and suddenly pushed Yan Yi away, shaking on the spot a few times, as if about to faint, Zhou Yuan hurried forward to hug Lin Jing, and Lin Jing hugged Zhou Yuan Yuan, burst into tears.

Zhou Yuan also understood what was going on.

The story Yan Yi told them was mostly true, but several key points were false.

First of all, Li Aihua, oh no, it should be Yan Aihua, and Yan Yi is the two siblings.

Secondly, Yan Yi and Li Hongxia, the mothers of Lin Jing and Lin He, have always been in a relationship.It's just that they hide it so well that no one else knows.Even when Yan Yi went to Beijing to study at university, they were still together.As a young woman, Li Hongxia was pregnant out of marriage in the eyes of others, and even gave birth to two children. She must have suffered a lot in that era.But Zhou Yuan guessed that she should have made such a sacrifice voluntarily, just in order not to delay Yan Yi's future.

It's just that he didn't expect that after Yan Yi went abroad, he abandoned Li Hongxia's mother and son who stayed in China because of his personal future.

When Yan Yi discovered that the symptoms that caused his sister's spontaneous combustion also appeared in himself, he secretly researched it with all his strength, but there was no progress.Then he thought of brother and sister Lin Jing, and had a selfish idea. After returning to China, he adopted Lin He and Lin Jing as old friends, and began to secretly experiment on Lin He.Lin He left angrily, most likely because he discovered some facts and wanted to escape Yan Yi's control, but it eventually led to his death.

Feeling Lin Jing in her arms sobbing non-stop, Zhou Yuan, who understood the cause and effect, was full of anger.The cause of everything turned out to be Yan Yi's selfishness and cowardice.

"Lin Jing, I am not worthy to be your father, but I am willing to use everything to compensate you." Yan Yi said sadly.

Lin Jing didn't look at him, but struggled out of Zhou Yuan's arms, turned around and kowtowed to Aihua's grave a few times, and then said to Zhou Yuan, "Take me down the mountain, I don't want to see him again."

Zhou Yuan looked at Lu Ming, who sighed and nodded.Zhou Yuan helped Lin Jing up, and the two walked down the mountain slowly. After they disappeared from sight, Lu Ming turned back to look at Yan Yi: "Mr. Yan, you are also a doctor, and you are very clear about the horror of this disease. It is suspected that Yan Aihua's body has mutated."
