the knife of love

Chapter 134 Wash yourself clean and go see you

The number of guards guarding the door of the ward suddenly increased. Originally, there were only two guards at the door every night. When Tang Jingcheng arrived, there were already four or five guards standing at the door.

One of them could tell from his uniform that he was the head of the office.

In any case, Tang Ji suffered a sudden illness while in custody, and he would be responsible if the person left the detention center. Now that the hospital has issued a critical illness notice, people will naturally come to the prison.

Tang Jingcheng couldn't control these things either. In the advanced ward, there were many people around the ICU bed. There were early warnings, nurses and doctors.

The doctor had already carried out a round of first aid for Tang Ji. Seeing Tang Jingcheng walk in, the attending doctor turned and walked to the door.

"My dad...how is it?"

"The man is awake, with acute left heart failure, and he has just been given intravenous morphine, but it shouldn't last long."

Tang Jingcheng's tears rolled down all at once.

The doctor sighed: "Is there any last words to explain." After speaking, he waved out, and the rest of the nurses and the warning left together.

Only Tang Jingcheng and Tang Ji were left in the ward.

Tang Ji was lying on the bed with a ventilator plugged in next to him. In the quiet ward, he could clearly hear the sound of gasping from his throat, and he was struggling rapidly.

Tang Jingcheng faced the door, wiped his tears with his hands and walked to the bedside.

"Dad..." She tried to smile.

Tang Ji's spirit was still reluctant, and he pulled his chapped lips: "Tang Tang..."

"Well, here I am, feeling better?"

Tang Ji nodded, and Tang Jingcheng gritted his teeth and shook his hand. He still had an indwelling needle in his hand, and he was so thin that only his muscles and bones remained in the detention center in just a few days.

"Dad..." Tang Jingcheng couldn't ask a single word that he was going to ask, tears streaming down his face.

Tang Ji pulled out his hand to touch her forehead, and wiped the wet and cold sweat on her hairline.

"Silly girl, don't cry."

Tang Jingcheng nodded vigorously: "Okay, don't cry."

"Dad is sorry for you."

Tang Jingcheng cried even more when he said this.

Tang Ji also knew that he didn't have much time, and it was too late to say a lot of things. Maybe he didn't want to say it at first, so he looked sideways at the discipline and warning guarding the door, and couldn't help laughing.

He had a lot of fame and good reputation in this life, but in the end he ended up in such a situation, knowing that he has committed a serious crime and he has to bear the blame.

Tang Jingcheng was lying on the bed crying so hard.

Tang Ji covered the top of her hair with his hand, rubbing it with his palm.

"Don't cry, it's good for Dad. The case hasn't been judged yet. I can leave the case before I leave. It's just hard for you."

Once Tang Ji left, only Tang Jingcheng was left in this world.

"The only thing Dad is worried about is you, otherwise he should have left three years ago. It is Dad who is cowardly and selfish, and only hurt Qiguan."

Tang Ji could only speak so much, but Tang Jingcheng understood that she could understand everything, but she couldn't keep up the words, and she was crying so hard that she couldn't breathe.

Tang Ji stopped persuading her, and continued to stroke the top of her hair.

"Your mother left early. I raised you by myself. I have been pampering you all these years. If Dad leaves, you have to promise Dad one thing. Don't ask about the past. No matter what you know, don't think about revenge. , live a good life alone..."

Tang Jingcheng was so stuffy on the edge of the bed that he couldn't make a sound.

"Also, don't blame Qiguan anymore. You didn't misunderstand this man. Take good care of his mother. It's my fault, Tang Ji. The Tang family is sorry for her."

Tang Jingcheng choked up and moaned.

What else can she say?that is the truth…

When Tang Ji died, the sky had already faded, and the east was pale.

Tang Jingcheng never raised his head, and pressed his face to the bed sheet, pinching Tang Ji's completely cold fingers with one hand.

The heart rate monitor emits a harsh long sound...

Almost all the corridors of the ward heard that mournful and desperate cry, sharp and long, as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his chest from this cry.

The nurses and early warning guards at the door couldn't help sighing.

From then on, the world was so big that she was the only one left.

Tang Ji's body was moved to the morgue overnight.

After dawn, the person in charge of the detention center came to Tang Jingcheng for an interview, and brought along the doctor and the lawyer handling the case from the infirmary.

"Miss Tang, this is Tang Ji's medical examination registration form before he entered the hospital. This is the medical records kept by the infirmary. According to the records, he went to the infirmary to prescribe medicine three times during his detention because of angina pectoris. The doses prescribed were all in line with the medical conditions, but according to the latest diagnosis certificate from the hospital, Tang Ji's sudden myocardial infarction was caused by abnormal medication. For this reason, the procuratorate and relevant departments will conduct investigations, and the forensic doctor will also conduct an autopsy. If I was responsible for the accident, we will never shirk responsibility, but if the investigation results show that Tang Ji died normally, please cooperate with the family."

The meaning of the person in charge of the detention center is very clear, to act first to take the lead, which shows that the attitude of the detention center is very positive, and at the same time, he also hopes that Tang Jingcheng will not try to pester him in vain.

Tang Jingcheng glanced at Tang Ji's signature on the medicine registration form, and said nothing.

Two days later, the autopsy report came out, confirming that Tang Ji had indeed died of acute myocardial infarction, which had actually occurred not long after entering the hospital. cause cardiogenic shock.

On the afternoon of the same day, the public security organ issued a "Death Certificate" based on the autopsy report, which showed that "Tang Ji died of a normal death in custody due to illness."

The lawyer and the person in charge of the detention center were present and asked Tang Jingcheng to sign the "Death Certificate".

Tang Jingcheng bit the cap of the pen, and next to his ears was Tang Ji's voice before he left.

"...Don't ask about the reason of the past, no matter what you know, don't think about revenge, live a good life alone..."

She closed her eyes, bit the cap of the pen in her mouth, and finally signed her name.

The lawyers present and the person in charge of the detention center all breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid of encountering troublesome family members, but they didn't expect Tang Jingcheng to be so forthright.

"Miss Tang, I'm sorry about your father's matter. In any case, we are also responsible for the negligence of the guards. We will strengthen the management of medicinal use in the future. Because Tang Ji is still in custody, his body needs to be cremated by the public security department. There will be a cremation notice over there, I wonder if there is anything else I can do to help you?"

Tang Jingcheng shook his body, did not answer, got up from the chair and walked out.

That was late June.

Tang Ji passed away, and there were still four days before the first anniversary of Qiu Qiguan's death.

On the second day, Tang Ji was cremated without any ceremony. Tang Jingcheng stood alone in the cemetery for two hours, smoking half a pack of cigarettes.

After going down the mountain, she went back to the detention center and took back the belongings Tang Ji left there.

A light coat, a mobile phone, wallet and car keys.

Tang Jingcheng took the things home, and the thin coat still smelled of Tang Ji's cigarettes.

She turned on the washing machine and poured some laundry detergent into it...

She has never done housework in these years. Tang Ji has always been taken care of by Aunt Luo. Aunt Luo will dig out his pockets every time before washing clothes. Most men are careless, and there are often loose money and cigarettes in their pockets. It's not okay to put things in the washing machine and mess them up.

Tang Jingcheng imitated Aunt Luo's appearance, sat cross-legged on the ground, reached into the pocket of his coat, and took out a small note and invoice.

The invoice is the shopping list issued by the supermarket.

Two or three mushrooms, 500 grams of pork tenderloin, some white fish and some other clean vegetables, some fruits, and two bottles of red wine.

They are all things that Tang Jingcheng likes to eat on weekdays.

The date of the invoice was the day she and Guan Lue returned from Yunnan, and her return flight information was recorded on that small note.

She still remembered what Tang Ji said.

"Okay, then on the day you come back, Dad will pick you up at the airport and ask Aunt Luo to cook something delicious for you."...

The sky was overcast, with heavy rain pouring down.

Two days later, when the news of Tang Ji's death was published in the newspaper, everyone sighed, but the only one who was most happy was Su Hongzhi.

At that time, Su Zhan had already been discharged from the hospital and was recuperating at home.

"Dad, Tang Ji is dead. The dead ghost in the prison has pleaded guilty, and the court will pronounce a sentence soon. Once the case is filed and sentenced, you can rest easy."

Su Hongzhi was leaning on crutches, but there seemed to be a trace of looseness on his face.

How can it be possible to sit back and relax?Su Jue already knew about Yu Qilin, so he lost 17% of his shares to seal his mouth, but Su Hongzhi knew that Su Jue's appetite must be more than that, he couldn't see through the elder son's mind, The more you can't see through, the more afraid and anxious you are.

However, Su Zhan didn't know the reason for this, and even resented that Su Hongzhi transferred 17% of the shares to Su Jue, but he didn't dare to ask directly, so he said in a roundabout way: "Dad, my injury is also very good. It’s almost there, and I should be able to go back to work next month.”

"it is good."

"Then my future plans...?" Su Zhan was probing, and Su Hongzhi frowned.

"What's your plan? You'll still be in the same position when you come back!"

"Dad, how can I go on? Now that Su Jue has joined the board of directors and is also the general manager, he must be riding directly on top of me..." Su Zhan felt depressed.

Su Hongzhi sighed impatiently: "What are you talking about? What do you mean he is riding on your head? Your brother is currently working hard in the company, and the old people on the board of directors are all facing him again. What do you do when you go back this time?" Let me correct my attitude, don't let him get in trouble behind my back, and cooperate with him to do some practical things for the company, otherwise I won't be able to help you if something goes wrong someday."

Su Hongzhi's words instantly made Su Zhan sober.

Previously, I was stabbed twice by Tang Jingcheng and suffered a lot of physical and mental pain, but Su Hongzhi let it go because of a jade unicorn. Su Zhan still remembered this resentment, but unexpectedly, he lay down in the hospital for a while and came back Finding out that Su Jue is already the second largest shareholder of the company, Su Hongzhi has already said everything to him.

Isn't it obvious what this means?

Maybe it's true, as the outside world has said, the old man is going to lose his favor!
How does this work!
However, Su Zhan would not reveal these words to his face, he agreed on his face, but he was completely unconvinced in his heart.

Su Hongzhi felt that he had said something too harshly, so he turned around to comfort him: "Dad knows that you don't like Ah Jue, but you are brothers after all, and Dad only has you two sons, and I will leave Su Fan to you in the future. I hope you two brothers can work together to inherit the company well."

This is a beautiful statement, but the intention is vague.

Su Zhan's heart felt cold, but he didn't say anything.

Su Hongzhi thought for a while, and then remembered the trouble in Yunnan.

"There's news from Myanmar that the two truckloads of medicine we've been pressing on the border have been destroyed, but we still have to find a way to get some truckloads of stones in. I already called Fan Qingyan yesterday..."

As soon as Su Zhan heard the word "Fan Qingyan", he immediately tensed up.

"What did he tell you?"

"Two days later, there will be a mid-year banquet in Jiurongtai. The principals from all over the country will come back, and Fan Qingyan will also return to Yunling. You go and meet him..."

"Dad, what do you mean... agree to his previous conditions?"

"Otherwise, what else can I do? A while ago, Guan Jiu stayed in Yunnan for a few days. On the surface, he was traveling around the mountains and rivers, but in fact he was staring at my goods over there, causing all of my more than 1000 million medicinal materials to expire. I will pay for this account." Keep it in Guan Jiutou, but this business will have to sit down in the future.”

"But as long as Guan Jiu doesn't let go, Fan Qingyan may not have the guts."

"Then you are wrong. Fan Qingyan has a bigger appetite than Chi Feng, and since he has a big appetite, he has a lot of courage." Su Hongzhi smiled in his eyes, folded his hands on the crutch faucet, and unconsciously moved his right finger Rubbing the jade wrench worn on the thumb of his left hand.

Two days later, the rain in Yunling didn't stop.

It seems like every year there are days of continuous torrential rain at this time of year.

On the anniversary of Qiu Qiguan's death, Tang Jingcheng got up early in the morning, emptied the cigarette butts in the ashtray, washed, took a bath, stood naked in front of the mirror, washed his face, and combed his hair.

A cold face appeared in the mirror, small and pale, with a thin collarbone and a hideous scar on the right shoulder.

Going down, the erect chest, the lower abdomen, the wet legs and toes.

Everything about her had been shown in front of that man before, and she had absorbed the most exciting pleasure in the world from him, but she had never felt so ashamed like now.

"Qiguan, I will wash myself clean and then go to see you..."

She hung the dagger on the pool table around her neck again, dressed and went out.

Qiu Yueyi also got up very early that day, and went to buy breakfast and hot soy milk at the time-honored store she frequented at the street corner, and she walked back with them.

The room Qiu Qiguan lived in before remained the same, only a mourning hall was placed on the table by the window.

Incense is offered every day, and fresh flower branches are inserted in the small vase in front of the queue.

"Qiguan, good morning, let's eat Xiaolongbao today."

The old lady divided the soy milk in half and put it in front of the memorial tablet, and lit it up. It was like this every day, even if today was his death day, there was no exception.

Until the doorbell rang, Qiu Yueyi went to open the door and saw Tang Jingcheng outside.

"How did you come?"

Tang Jingcheng didn't speak, put the umbrella in his hand at the door, and entered the house.

As soon as Qiu Qiguan's incense was lit, she stood at the door and took a look, but didn't go in, turned around, bent her legs straight, and with a "bang-", she knelt firmly on the ground.

"You are..."

Tang Jingcheng didn't answer, and kowtowed to Qiu Yueyi three times with his hands on the ground.

Standing up with a gloomy expression, he went to the door and took an umbrella and went out...

There was no sound coming and going, thunder and lightning flashed into the house, the sky became more cloudy, and the rain seemed to pick up again for a while.

The General's Mansion, Jiurongtai held a mid-year banquet, and a sign saying "Foreign guests are not allowed" was hung at the door. Dozens of black cars were parked there, and the principals from all over the place brought their entourages to guard there.

Tang Jingcheng walked over by stepping on the water, wearing a black skirt and holding a wide umbrella.

The rain watered down all the feasting and feasting...
