Bailian's stand-in has collapsed [Transmigration Book]

"I'm so sorry,? Misunderstood you."

After Li Chengxin's parents arrived outside the ward, they apologized to Lin Jianqiu in a low voice.

They didn't have any objection to Lin Jianqiu's request for money from Li Chengxin. Instead, they asked the secretary to call him into his account in private.

But they didn't tell Li Chengxin about this, and asked Lin Jianqiu to keep it a secret from her.

While in the ward,?—the family was happy and harmonious. When Li Chengxin hung up the last—bottle of water,? couldn't hold back the tiredness and fell asleep again,?there was a bit of sadness on the faces of the two old people.

It happened that Lin Jianqiu was going back too, the old people stopped him from behind, and walked downstairs with him.

They lingered for a while in the small garden downstairs.

"Actually...we have already heard from the police about this case,? We have no other way to thank you,? Feel free to accept the money. It is nothing to us, and it can be regarded as buying us a share. Peace of mind."

The two old people know their daughter's character, and they are all bored in their hearts about any bad things,? But she is so old after all, it's not good for parents to follow around and talk about it all the time.

If she knew they knew about it, she herself would be even more worried.

Fortunately, this accident did not cause any irreversible results, so they simply pretended not to know.

When asking the police about the situation, they also heard about Lin Jianqiu's name.

If it weren't for Lin Jianqiu, this case wouldn't have been solved so quickly, and Li Chengxin would have suffered more, so the two old people expressed their gratitude to him first.

Then I heard that he was not a policeman, but he did his best to Li Chengxin's case, proving her innocence. Coupled with the gossip in the rumors, they naturally had a misunderstanding.

Another reason is because of their selfish wishes.

"We were happy at first, thinking that she really let go." Mother Li sighed, "But we didn't dare to ask more questions."

Li's father stood beside him with a straight face, his serious expression was just to cover up, he subconsciously straightened his back when he heard his wife's words, but he looked a bit cramped and tired.

"For a while, I couldn't help but resent the dead child. Although I knew he was innocent and pitiful, but...but he was like a chain, like a mountain, pressing down on him. On Cheng Xin's body."

"This time it almost ruined her reputation again."

Mother Li is half venting, half pouring out.

Lin Jianqiu stood quietly beside her, without interrupting her.

The police have not told Li Chengxin all the details of the case, such as the past and motives of Zhuo Xuanyue, the real murderer behind the case.

Following Ni Chunyu's confession, Li Chengxin's suspicion was completely cleared up, and the old case more than ten years ago was dug up, Zhuo Xuanyue's psychological defense finally collapsed, and she explained all the details the day before yesterday.

Zhuo Xuanyue targeted Li Chengxin because of her boyfriend who had been dead for many years.

Li Chengxin had been with her boyfriend of the same major when she was a student, and went abroad together after graduation, and then joined the same TV station as a reporter. People who have impressions still say that they are a match made in heaven.

Although they often don't see each other when they are busy, their relationship has always been very good, and it has even reached the point where they are talking about marriage.

However, the good times don't last long, and Li Chengxin receives a mission to investigate a black-hearted company.

There are serious quality problems in the products of that company, but the forces behind it are intricate, and they spend money to suppress them when they happen, and they are a standard black-hearted tyrant.

The young reporter was full of enthusiasm, and she also had some background, she was not at all afraid, and took it without any objection.

Her boyfriend, however, had a lot of concerns, worried that something might happen to her, so he volunteered to cooperate with her.

Later in the investigation, they were invited to a meeting at the same time.

The two went together, but on the way, the boyfriend found that there were some materials that he did not bring, so he turned back temporarily to get them.

Li Chengxin went to the venue first, greeted the organizer, and said her boyfriend would come over later.

However - until the end of the meeting, her boyfriend did not show up.

The boyfriend got into a car accident on the way to the club after collecting the materials, and died on the spot.

Li Chengxin couldn't see the scene, but he saw all the photos of the scene, as well as the death of her boyfriend.

That case was originally characterized as an ordinary traffic accident.

Because of his special status, Li Chengxin was able to check all the details of the case, and found that his boyfriend had a new miniature tape recorder with him when he died.

She was pretty sure that her boyfriend didn't have that thing on him before he went back, and when he found it, the tape recorder was crushed and couldn't be recovered.

Other than that, however, nothing unusual could be found.

At the same time, Li Chengxin's identity was exposed, and he was hunted down by the company under investigation.

Li Chengxin suspected that his boyfriend's death had something to do with that company.

After the investigation - some specious little details made her gradually convinced of this.

This hit her very hard, almost the biggest turning point in her life.

If it wasn't for her, her boyfriend wouldn't be in contact with that company—Touching ten thousand steps, even if her boyfriend's death had nothing to do with that black-hearted company, if he wasn't with her, maybe he would go to something else If you are on a business trip, you may not encounter that car accident at all.

What if she stopped him then?

In the final analysis, it is just a piece of dispensable information, and if you don’t bring it, you will be scolded at most.

What if she had gone back with him at that time?

Maybe she'll notice the road and alert the taxi driver in time—she knows her boyfriend—and once she's focused she won't notice anything else around her.

……

So many "ifs"—a little bit of guilt.

And she intuitively felt that her boyfriend's death must be related to the secrets of that company.

But until the company was exposed and investigated, and the high-level executives were imprisoned, she did not find any evidence to prove that they instigated the ex-convict truck driver to kill her boyfriend.

After nearly ten years of relationship, her boyfriend was once the person Li Chengxin decided to spend a lifetime with. His accidental death was like gouging out a piece of flesh from her heart and cutting off half of her soul.

If it was only because of personality differences or practical problems that they broke up peacefully, she might not be so reluctant to let go.

But she blamed everything on herself.

Her boyfriend died because of her, but she didn't even have the ability to make the crimes of the people behind the scenes public—even if they were imprisoned, their crimes didn't include a record of buying a murderer to kill her boyfriend.

The successive blows, coupled with the serious injury she suffered when she was hunted down, made Li Chengxin feel a little in a trance for a long time. Her work unit tried to persuade her to leave, and her parents also ordered her to go home to rest.

However, resting and recuperating are useless. One day Li Chengxin waited all night until dawn, and the first sentence he saw his parents asked them was: "Did I kill someone?"

Her parents once thought about whether to send her to a mental hospital for treatment, but in the end they gave up because they were reluctant.

Not long after, Li Chengxin sneaked out from the house and got into a car accident on the way.

Her parents thought she wanted to die.

Fortunately, she managed to get her life back in the end.

The car accident kept her in a hospital bed for a month.

When she woke up again, she lost all memories of her boyfriend.

Those parts seemed to have turned into a cloud of confusion, unpredictable, so she didn't care about it, and occasionally she touched related topics, and she would instinctively avoid them.

Other than the occasional nightmare, she seemed to be back to normal.

There is no difference between the words and when nothing happened in the past, but compared to the seemingly endless enthusiasm for climbing up in the past, she began to prefer to choose a stable life.

So she resigned from the TV station and moved to a newspaper office far away.

For more than ten years since then, Li Chengxin has never mentioned her boyfriend's name again, it seems that she has never met such a person in her life.

But she never talked about a relationship again, as if she had devoted herself to her work.

Her parents were afraid of provoking her, so they dared not even mention it.

Until today.

As for this case, it can be regarded as an innocent disaster.

Zhuo Xuanyue and Li Chengxin did not actually know each other, but only heard about each other's existence through Li Chengxin's boyfriend.

Zhuo Xuanyue used to be unlucky, with a depressed and extreme personality, and was often prone to extremes. Li Chengxin's boyfriend met him because of an interview assignment, helped him a lot, and talked to him many times to help him relieve his emotions .

Perhaps it was because of a change in her mentality, Zhuo Xuanyue's work and interpersonal communication have become smoother since then.

Therefore, he regarded the other party as his god of luck and worshiped him very much.

However, before he completely reversed his personality, his "lucky god" died.

He deliberately rushed to the hospital, but only saw Li Chengxin kneeling on the ground. Through the comfort of the people around him, he knew that it was Li Chengxin's girlfriend.

But he heard Li Chengxin say "it's all my fault".

He memorized that sentence for many years.

—At the beginning, he didn't really care about this matter that much. At most, he was a little sad. After all, he didn't know Li Chengxin's boyfriend for too long, and he cared more about his own life.

So after being sad for a while, he quickly put this matter behind him, and never thought about getting acquainted with Li Chengxin.

The opportunity for transformation is—point—point accumulated obsession——

Ever since Li Chengxin's boyfriend passed away, Zhuo Xuanyue's life has gradually become unsmooth again.

Even if he tried to endure his temper and bow his knees to the boss, it would only make others despise and humiliate him more unscrupulously.

The lofty ideals he once had had vanished, and he began to make a living by extortion and extortion as a paparazzi business and private gossip.

This allowed him to accumulate some wealth, enough to allow him to live more comfortably and easily.

However, his misfortune did not end there.

Just in the middle of last year, he felt unwell and went to the hospital for an examination. The doctor asked him to go for a reexamination, but he also said that it was just a suspected abnormality, and he could not give a confirmed conclusion.

He thought the doctor was just trying to cheat him out of money, so he didn't take it to heart.

A few months later, he felt unwell again and went to the hospital for an examination, and he was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

No amount of money can cure it.

What's more, he didn't actually have that much money—the "final payment" he promised to Ni Chunyu later was just a bad check.

At the same time, he got into trouble at work, and was dragged into an alley in a sack and beaten up.

There is no hope in life, and he is unwilling to accept his fate. The resentment accumulated over the years exploded overnight. He thought of the luckiest period in his life, and then thought of Li Chengxin.

Li Chengxin has gone through so many things, but she is still glamorous. Her parents are celebrities, even if she never works all her life, she can still live a decent life.

Zhuo Xuanyue transferred all her grievances to Li Chengxin.

It was she who killed his god of luck.

But she forgot that the person she once said "love" could still smile so happily.

Why can the murderer still live such a contented life, winning the praise and applause of others?

He found justification for all his resentment.

He has never really explored the truth of the past, nor is he willing to explore, otherwise he will lose the "justice" he thinks.

First, he sent a threatening letter, just to vent his dissatisfaction, but Li Cheng felt guilty, neither calling the police nor mentioning it to anyone.

He became even more unscrupulous.

The idea of ​​confirming Li Chengxin's title of "murderer" gradually took shape.

That might be his only luck in recent years.

When he went to the hospital to get medicine, he met Ni Chunyu who came for a follow-up visit.

The case was settled.

Li Chengxin's parents mentioned it again, but it was just to vent their repressed emotions.

"Hey, I'm really sorry - I accidentally said so much again, I made you laugh."

Mother Li wiped away her tears and smiled.

"Although it's not that kind of relationship...but we haven't seen her make new friends for a long time. Although Lele is also very cute, she can't talk after all. I'll trouble you to take care of her in the future—"

Without giving Lin Jianqiu a chance to speak, she took out the business card from her pocket and handed it to him half-forcedly.

"If you need any help, feel free to come to us."

Lin Jianqiu is more than ten years younger than Li Chengxin, and has no identity background, theoretically he has no qualifications to "take care of" the other party.

He is not used to maintaining too long and close contact with customers.

However, Mama Li's eyes were red, she just wanted to protect her daughter, so he had no choice but to swallow the words of refusal.

He's never had a problem with people like this.

Perhaps the reason for Li Chengxin's "amnesia" has also been found.

Lin Jianqiu waved goodbye to Li Chengxin's parents at the entrance of the hospital. Looking at the other's back, he suddenly remembered the words Li Chengxin whispered unintentionally when he was lying on the hospital bed.

"I could have reminded him."

I don't know which nightmare I dreamed of the past scene again, or maybe it was just because I thought there was no one in the room, so I blurted out that sentence.

It has been hidden in my heart for more than ten years, and I have been brooding on it day by day for ten years.

She never actually let it go.

Her parents thought it was because of "love", so when they learned that she lost her memory, they were completely relieved-heavy a sigh of relief.

Lin Jianqiu could vaguely understand her feelings.

Not just from "love", but more from "powerlessness", "I could have", "just a little bit"...

It's an endless uneasiness.

Compared with the strange cases encountered in the past, this case is not difficult and bizarre, but Lin Jianqiu feels unprecedentedly heavy.

It's like sucking in a lot of turbid air little by little, and sinking little by little, gradually accumulating into a huge boulder weighing a thousand catties.

If you can't walk, sit down and rest for a while, Lin Jianqiu always does this.

Mentally exhausted, too.

He leaned against the wall and slowly slid to sit on the edge of the flower bed, and the phone rang in his pocket.

He pressed the answer button casually, and he was a little weak in response. He raised his hand and looked at the business card casually.

A certain publishing company.

The surname in the first name column is different from that of Li Chengxin, presumably it should be her mother's company.

Did Li Chengxin tell her parents about herself?

Lin Jianqiu was slightly taken aback.

The person on the other side of the phone realized that he was distracted halfway through talking, and called out: "Lin Jianqiu?"

Lin Jianqiu came back to his senses: "Ms. Ye?"

Ye Huaishuang was on the other side of the phone.

Ye Huaishuang asked him, "Is something wrong?"

He seemed to be particularly sensitive to Lin Jianqiu's emotional changes.

Lin Jianqiu just felt a little tired for a while, and it would be okay to rest for a while. If someone asked him, he would just make some excuses and gag to get over it.

However, the opposite was Ye Huaishuang, and he could easily feel the concern and worry in the words.

So Lin Jianqiu said something out of his mouth, and the ridicule turned into a light catharsis.

"I just feel, a little out of breath."

From then on, Li Chengxin had a chance to choose again, and maybe he would just let it go.

— It was Lin Jianqiu who couldn't let go.

Even though time has passed and the distance has crossed two different time and space, those memories are still like tarsal maggots, and when he takes a breath in the gap between survival, they will entangle him silently.

If only I could forget it completely.

He'd thought about it before, but never really expected it.

After the words were out of my mouth, I felt awkward again, and the person opposite was silent for a moment.

Lin Jianqiu casually stuffed the business card back into his pocket, looked at the scattered pedestrians passing by on the small road, and thought about finding something to talk about to break this weird embarrassment.

-The person with a flexible mind is now caught in a whirlpool-like vicious circle.

I want to find a breakthrough to go out, but when I look around, I still stay in the same place.

Ye Huaishuang's voice pulled him out.

"You wait for me where you are." Ye Huaishuang said, "I'll pick you up."
