Chapter 29

Du Chen picked up the box and got into the car.

The driver stepped on the accelerator.

He's just an ordinary driver, someone gave him a large sum of money last week to wait for someone here today.

As a law-abiding good citizen, he instinctively felt that something was wrong. He wanted to refuse but his child at home was seriously ill and he was really short of money...

Anyway, he just dragged someone. Even if something really happened, it wouldn't be a few years, would it?

"It's here..." The driver suppressed the panic in his tone, "He told me to wait for you at 236."

Du Chen glanced around, this is a hotel near the university town. The place is very biased, kind of like a youth hostel.

Chen Du encountered all the youthful college students along the way. His appearance in suits and shoes seemed a little out of place, so much so that it caused some quiet discussion.

Finally arrived at 236, the door was closed but not locked.

 He pushed the door open and there was no one inside.

Du Chen walked in,there was a card on the simple wooden table.

It has this line written on it.

"Mr. Chen, thank you for your cooperation :-)"

***

He didn't want to destroy any evidence at all.

From beginning to end, Li Xiu has only one goal.

To kill Li Guangyu.

Because killing is paying for it.

He is not Li Guangyu's biological son. His nominal biological father, the weak omega, couldn't accept his six-year-old son's death, so he took him home.

Naive and stupid.

In the end, the omega who was so stupid at his age still died three years ago.

The grievances of the previous generation need not be repeated. Li Xiu only knew that without Li Guangyu, none of this would have to happen.

Then he should die.

He has never been smart enough, nor powerful enough to think of a way or to take revenge.

He hummed a song and stood on the back mountain. From here, he could see the small warehouse at the foot of the mountain.

Li Xiu came out on the pretext of buying medicine for Song Ping, vehicles can be seen heading here from a distance.

Almost there, he thought.

How can a performance be without an audience?

So, he pressed the button in his hand.

"Boom-" sounded.

The fire was blazing into the sky and at that moment, Li Xiu bent down with a smile, but there was no sound.

Great. everything is over.

He could finally get rid of the funny name and fly away.

Just then, behind him, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Target found."

***

[An explosion occurred in an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs of Chongshan District today. Three people died in the accident. The specific cause is under further investigation...]

[In addition, in the accident near the scene, a body of a man was found. After investigation, it was a local travel friend who fell to his death while traveling alone. We would like to remind everyone that outdoor activities need to be cautious...]

Inside the hospital.

It's the unbearable smell of disinfectant again.

Smoking is prohibited here, so he just sits quietly, waiting for the operating room door to open.

He was not at the scene at the time but everything was later told to him by the police. The kidnappers detonated the explosives directly.

Fortunately, Song Ping and Ruan Yu were both in the basement at the time and the impact was not severe.

But one of the cabinets in the basement fell down and just hit Ruan Yu head on.

Other matters have been handed over to special personnel.

Now Du Chen is sitting here, just waiting for a news.

Song Ping came over and sat down next to him.

Song Ping's heart attack this time was not small but fortunately, her body was fine. After emergency treatment, she was able to get out of bed soon.

She was wearing a hospital gown and tears welled up in her eyes.

Song Ping choked and said, "It's all my fault... If it wasn't for me, Xiaoyu wouldn't have been hit."

Du Chen didn't answer.

He is already very tired.

The headache was splitting, the memories of two lifetimes appeared alternately and he was bearing the pain.

He really don't have the energy to comfort his grandmother.

In the end, he replied, "Don't blame yourself."

Blame his indifference and the arrogance hidden under the surface of gentleness.

In the end, it's not good for others.

After half an hour, the door to the operating room finally opened. Du Chen got up in an instant and went up to meet him.

The chief physician in a white coat came out, and his first sentence was: "The patient is fine, the operation was successful."

A stone finally fell to the ground.

It's fine... he's fine.

Chen Du seemed to have been drained of all his strength. The exhaustion and drowsiness he had endured for many days rushed over together.

He felt like crying at that moment.

However, the doctor slowly frowned again, "But the patient's brain is strongly impacted and there may be sequelae."

Du Chen froze in place, then asked uncertainly: "Will... he wake up?"

"This..." The doctor is not sure, after all, the world is full of strange things and any case can happen.

"Possibly, but it's very unlikely. The specifics will have to wait for the patient to wake up."

Du Chen opened his mouth and closed it slowly.

Finally, he asked, "Can I see him now...?"

He was actually very scared, afraid that Ruan Yu would not want to see him when he woke up.

He was afraid that Ruan Yu didn't want to forgive him and wanted to live his new life wholeheartedly. Then, wouldn't his pursuit become another trouble?

And Chen Du still hasn't figured out what to do.

The doctor replied, "Yes. The patient is out of danger and does not need to enter the ICU. It has been transferred to the general ward."

So, after a lapse of more than a year, Du Chen finally saw Ruan Yu again.

Close your eyes, be quiet and peaceful.

Du Chen had a nightmare that lasted for two years.

Fortunately, now, he finally came back here and stood in front of him.

The person who just came out of the operating room lookedextremely haggard.

He raised his hand and touched Ruan Yu's cheeks.

It seems to be warm again.

Although the senior ward is spacious enough, there are still many things to be dealt with in the future. But Du Chen was worried that Ruan Yu would be disturbed to recover, so he did not transfer the office to the ward.

The next day, the news that Ruan Yu woke up was the first call from the nurse to tell him.

"Mr. Ruan is awake," the nurse told him on the phone.

Du Chen paused, stopped writing and made a decisive decision: "Okay, I'll go over right away."

The car was still driven by the driver, and Du Chen was fidgeting in the back row, making frequent movements.

The driver had every reason to suspect that if it wasn't for the difficulty of changing the driver's seat, Du Chen would have kicked him away and stepped on the accelerator to drive fast.

"..."

Tsk.

After getting out of the car, Du Chen was able to maintain his demeanor at first and pretended to be calm. He couldn't hold back until the elevator was too slow, so he climbed up to the fifth floor of the inpatient department in one breath.

Probably just after exercising, he stood at the door of Ruan Yu's ward, his heart beating a little faster.

So much so that he could hear the "dong dong dong" by himself.

His hand grabbed the doorknob, but he couldn't push it open.

Chen Du turned his head, took a deep breath and asked the people around him, "What if he doesn't want to see me?"

The driver was a 190-foot-tall-steel- guy, so he couldn't understand the inner feelings of his boss at all.

He scratched his bald head and asked, "Then do you want to see him?"

The answer was obvious.

So Chen Du pushed open the door.

Ruan Yu was lying on the bed reading a book, while the caregiver trims the flowers with scissors.

He seemed to sense that someone was coming in, so he raised his head and glanced at the door.

He put down the book.

A pair of clear eyes.

There is neither joy nor disgust. Instead, there was a little doubt.

Ruan Yu said uncertainly, "...Brother Chen Du?"

It's been a long time since Ruan Yu called him that.

When Du Chen suddenly heard this title, he felt a little indescribable joy.

"I'm here." Du Chen walked in front of him and sat aside.

Ruan Yu put down the book.

"Long time no see..." Ruan Yu said.

He seemed to be lost in thought, then he said slowly, "I haven't seen you in a few years, you've changed a lot."

Then, a smile appeared on his face, "Why did you come to see me? Did my mother tell you?"

Du Chen listened to his words but his heart became more puzzled.

This... this not right.

Ruan Yu's every move made him feel nervous.

Du Chen suddenly had a guess.

He asked hesitantly, "Ruan Yu, do you remember what year it is now?"

Ruan Yu on the hospital bed blinked, his face showing some confusion.

"... Isn't 2008?"

2008.

There was an earthquake in Wenchuan and Beijing hosted the Olympics.

That year Ruan Yu was eighteen years old and just entered the freshman year.

In December, he had appendicitis and had an appendectomy.

It has been ten years.

Obviously, Ruan Yu lost his memory. He lost the memory of the remaining ten years.

After a moment of silence. Du Chen told him: "It's 2018 now."

....

The smile on Ruan Yu's face suddenly solidified.

He made an "ah" sound.

"Then why am I in the hospital?"

Du Chen looked into his eyes and explained to him, "You were kidnapped and got a heavy blow on the head. You just came out of the operating room."

Ruan Yu touched his head, "...No wonder my head hurts so much."

He suddenly looked around as if he had remembered something.

Ruan Yu asked Duchen Chen with a puzzled tone: "Where are my parents? Why didn't they come to see me?"

Because they have passed away.

Du Chen's sudden silence made Ruan Yu feel flustered.

Ruan Yu couldn't hold back and asked again: "Where are they?"

However, this matter could not be concealed. Under Chen Du's eyes, both the nurse and the driver withdrew.

"What I'm about to say next may make you sad..."

 Du Chen saw that Ruan Yu's hand clenched the quilt at that moment.

He wanted to put his hand up and tell him not to be too sad.

But he dared not.

If it is Ruan Yu, who is eighteen years old, then their current relationship is probably just the old bamboo horses that have been separated for many years.

Du Chen said: "They passed away three years ago... The cause of death was a car accident. In Tibet. I accompany you to pick them up."

Ruan Yu trembled slowly and finally his eyes became red.

He withdrew his hand and buried his head in his knees. The unstoppable cry just fell into Chen Du's ears.

It was the same when Ruan Yu knew the news.

Changing to the eighteen-year-old Ruan Yu will only make hin sad more.

This kind of pain was enough to go through once.

But for the current Ruan Yu, he may have just returned home last week to act coquettishly with his mother and greeted his father.

Now that he wakes up, he suddenly has to accept the news that they are no longer alive.

Du Chen was at a loss, even his words became chaotic: "I know you are sad... I really hope to share your pain, I am very worried about you."

The effect of language seems extremely lacking at this moment.

Apart from accompany and waiting, Du Chen has no better way.

He looked aside, feeling powerless and heartbroken.

It was not until a long time later that Ruan Yu slowly calmed down.

Du Chen handed over the paper.

Ruan Yu said softly, "Thank you."

Probably because he cried too hard before, his voice was still a little hoarse.

He wiped away his tears, then he turned his face to the side and looked at Du Chen.

There were still tears on Ruan Yu's face.

He opened his mouth and asked, "What about you? Why are you here?"

Why from the moment I saw you, why do you feel so sad?
