Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1344 Copper Dock
When walking out of the newspaper building, Deng Yilan lost her footing on the steps, fell and rolled down, her tailbone hit the ground with a muffled sound, sending a sharp pain into her head.

Panting for breath, she sat on the ground for a few seconds, still feeling dizzy.When she was thrown on the ground, her calf was scratched and bleeding. She raised her head and found that the people nearby were all turning their heads to look at her. When they saw her looking over, they all turned and left.

Deng Yilan has not cried for many days, and now her eyes are dry and there are no tears.This is the fourth media she asked, and it also fell through as before. No one could tell her what the Twelve Worlds were, or who asked for the advertisement.The staff didn't seem to know about it, and they were a little vague. If she asked in depth, it would arouse the other party's impatience and even anger.

There are several foreign media on the list, Deng Yilan has given up hope for them.

...that has to go too.

Otherwise, what should she do?
When Deng Yilan got up from the ground, she heard the phone ringing in her bag, and she couldn't help being taken aback.This may be a sales call. Since Han Jun's death was confirmed, there are not many people who contact her now, and her parents have also returned home. I don't know that she has not gone to work recently.

She picked up an unfamiliar number. "Hey?"

"Miss Deng, right?" On the other end was a female voice with an aggressive tone, without even saying hello, as if wishing she could give her a push with her voice. "You're looking for that...Han Jun? He's your husband, right?"

At that moment, Deng Yilan thought that she was dreaming before, but Han Jun was not dead.

His name being uttered by a living person seemed to bring him back, especially since there was no word like "sorry" in this sentence, which was a proof that he was still alive.She was in a trance for a while and forgot to answer, the woman said again: "I saw the missing person notice you posted!"

A basin of cold water was poured down, and Deng Yilan returned to reality in a jerk. "Yes, but..."

"I have something important to tell you, in person."

"well--"

Deng Yilan wanted to know what happened after he disappeared, so she hurriedly reported the address of a coffee shop next to her community.As soon as she hung up the phone, she rushed home, her heart was beating so hard that she couldn't breathe peacefully—what did Han Jun do?
She waited in the coffee shop for 15 minutes, and tore five or six white sugar paper packets into a pile of debris like a hill. The woman called again: "I'm at the gate of your community, come here."

Deng Yilan returned to the gate of the community, looked from a distance, and saw a woman with a bandage on her head, followed by two men.One of them spotted her, pointed at Deng Yilan, and said something, the woman with a head injury immediately strode over and shouted: "Miss Deng?"

"It's me...you are?"

Two men and a woman surrounded her in the center. "I've been looking for your husband for a long time, look," the woman was about her age and stature, pointed at the bandage on her forehead, and said angrily, "That's what he did."

It took Deng Yilan a long time to come to her senses. "Did Han Jun beat someone?"

"Why are you pretending you don't know? I was happy to go on a cruise on the 6th, but I was attacked by your husband!" The injured woman became more and more angry as she spoke, getting closer and closer, spit spattered on her face . "He knocked me out, hit my head against the wall, and took away my boat ticket—you, as a family member, tell me what to do!"

"How is it possible, why did he hit you..."

When Deng Yilan said this, she suddenly lost her temper.She remembered that she once said on the phone, "I have to buy the ferry ticket first", and Han Jun replied at that time, "You don't have to worry about it, just come, I will get the ferry ticket for you".

That being said, he was the one who beat people up to grab tickets.

Let's say I was surprised, I was really surprised; but deep down in her heart, she felt that this seemed to be something Han Jun could do.It's not that he is violent, but that when he wants to solve a problem, the rules and regulations formed by legal conventions seem to be a little bit unable to stop him.

"I called the police at that time, and now you can check the records if you want, I'm not talking nonsense!" Seeing that her attitude was lowered, the injured woman became louder and louder: "Let your husband come out, medical expenses, mental damage I have to pay for the lost wages and lost wages, otherwise I will call the police right now].”

"But...he's dead."

The woman paused, she didn't know whether she was surprised or didn't believe it, and immediately said: "Then you pay for it!"

Deng Yilan grew up so honest and honest, the first time she encountered such a thing, her mind was already in a mess.For the next half an hour, she only remembered her ears buzzing amid the yelling of the other three, and the fear that arose after asking about the compensation figure—she hadn’t gone to work, and if she paid out her deposit again, With so many out, what will she do next to continue looking for clues to Han Jun's death?Her parents would never pay her to "play around".

She tried to cut the price down, but the other party said: "Am I rich? I borrowed all my medical expenses. Don't you ask for interest on the borrowed money? It's compound interest, do you know how much you owe? You have to pay for it, right? Not a penny is missing."

What Deng Yilan didn't expect was that the three of them refused to leave when the two sides failed to reach an agreement.They insisted on following her back home, one man blocked the door with his hand, another pushed her and squeezed her in, and all three of them came in with a whimper.They filled up the sofa, and the two men took out peanuts from under the coffee table to eat without even asking, and vomited the peanut shells all over the floor.

Deng Yilan was so angry that her hands trembled, but she also knew that Han Jun was at fault, and even the accusations were soft words such as "My husband is wrong, but you can't do this", "This is my home, you have no right to come in", she herself Hearing that, I felt unfounded.

After eleven o'clock in the night, seeing that the three of them were not leaving, she finally couldn't hold back and called the police.

"They didn't beat you, didn't they scold you? You were injured by your husband, and it's only natural for them to pay compensation. You should actively negotiate to resolve it. If you make a big fuss, it's not good for the deceased's reputation. Why don't you think about it? "A young man wearing glasses came and taught her, "If you hurt someone, you have to pay. Who told you that you are his wife."

After sitting until 12:30, the injured woman couldn't sit still.

She yawned a few times, sent messages on the phone for a while, then raised her head and asked the two men, "I'm still injured, it's too late, or..."

"It's okay, sister, you go back first." A man who was playing with his mobile phone didn't look up, "Let's take a look here."

The other watched TV, his legs stretched out, and said, "We're quite comfortable, we can stay for a week."

Deng Yilan almost jumped up on the spot - in the middle of the night, let her be alone with two strange men who didn't look like serious people?But she knew that none of the three present would listen to her.Seeing that the woman was about to leave with her bag, she felt that her chest was about to explode, but she couldn't even think of a solution to the problem, her blood was whirring, and she couldn't even feel that she was standing on the ground up.

Before the woman opened the door, she suddenly turned her head to look at her, an indescribable look flashed across her face, and she turned back hastily.

Just this one glance caused a flash of light in Deng Yilan's mind.

"Where did you see it?" she cried hastily.

The woman turned her head and asked, "...what?"

"You said you saw the missing person notice, where did you see it?"

The woman pursed her lips. "I don't remember. Saw it on the street anyway."

"Did you leave the notice?"

"Who wants to keep that kind of thing?" The woman got impatient, opened the door and left, and slammed the door shut with a bang.

Deng Yilan stood in the living room without moving for a while.After standing blankly for a while, she glanced back at the two men on the sofa, and said hoarsely, "...I have to tidy up and go to sleep."

"Sleep," said a man with a playful smile, "tell us specifically, what do you mean?"

In the past, Deng Yilan would have blushed with anger, but now she felt empty in her chest, unable to arouse her anger.She turned and went back to the house, and when she came out again, she was wearing a hair band for washing her face; she had changed into pajamas, and she was wearing a pair of slippers on her feet.

Wearing pajamas, Deng Yilan silently swept the floor, dumped the garbage into the bucket, and took out the garbage bag.She went into the kitchen again, took out another bag of garbage, and walked towards the door.

"where are you going?"

"Take out the trash," she said blankly, and opened the door: "If you stay overnight, you will attract insects."

The two men looked at her a few times, neither of them bothering to get up and take out the trash for her.These people are probably hired to do this kind of thing, and the motivation of money is not enough for them to be a fully meticulous villain—at least, Deng Yilan hopes so.

"Go, come back, and leave the door open."

Deng Yilan breathed a sigh of relief, but was so nervous that her hands and feet trembled.She entered the corridor, hurriedly threw away a bag of garbage in her hand, clutched another black plastic bag, and pressed the elevator.While waiting for the elevator, she purposely coughed loudly a few times to let the two men know that she was still there; as soon as the door opened, she hurried in and slammed the close button hard.

She has never done such a bold thing in her life.

When she rushed out the door and fled to a taxi, the driver looked back at her several times, as if he had doubts about her pajamas and slippers. "Go to Tongdi Wharf." She took out her wallet from the black plastic bag and gestured, her voice trembling: "I have money to pay, please hurry up!"

Deng Yilan really has nowhere to go.There are some small hotels at the Copperland Wharf where she can stay overnight; there is nothing valuable at home, even if those home appliances are lost, she doesn't feel sorry for them.

She got out of the car and walked around the pier in a daze.Ever since Han Jun was cremated, she always wanted to come and have a look, but she didn't dare to.

Now in desperation, she was the first to think of Tongdi Wharf, as if after so long, Han Jun was still waiting for her on the wharf.

There is still a missing person notice on the pillar, which has not been torn off after so many days.In the cold night wind, Deng Yilan took out a thin coat from the garbage bag and put it on her pajamas to make herself look more or less normal.She wasn't too dirty either, and sat down under the pillar with the missing persons notice, her toes were so cold that she curled up in her pink slippers.The tailbone was still aching, but she felt a rare sense of relief.

Where there is Han Jun, she always feels at ease.

Unexpectedly, it was so late, and someone had just got off work from the Copper Land Wharf.It was only when Deng Yilan heard the voice of a person that she suddenly realized where she was - she looked up and found several men and women in staff uniforms walking out.

"It's so late today," a woman complained, "I don't get a raise for working overtime every day..."

"It won't be so busy next month, it's off-season," her colleague said calmly.

"Go back and eat instant noodles before going to sleep..."

"Wow, I was shocked... This woman is not a lunatic..." Someone whispered when passing by Deng Yilan.

A young girl lingers for a moment on the missing person notice as she passes the pillar.

It wasn't purely out of curiosity, besides, this piece of paper had been pasted for so long, and she shouldn't have been curious long after she went to and from get off work every day.

It was a knowing look.

Deng Yilan's heart was tightly gripped by this thought, and she slowly stood up.She was shaking all over, and the black plastic bag was rustling in her hand.

The young girl hastened a few steps and walked past her.

"You have met my husband, haven't you?" Deng Yilan asked tremblingly.

The young girl stopped and turned her head slowly.

　The evaluation of this world is really polarized...
