Check and salvage.

After an unknown amount of time, a medical staff stood up and said to Luo Leye, "I'm sorry, he's already dead."

Outside the house, a sound of thunder resounded through the sky, Luo Leye took a step back a little unsteadily, Gu Zijuan stretched out his hand to support him, the two looked at each other, they both saw shock and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

Several medical staff lifted Luo Yong up on a stretcher, covered him with a white cloth, and carried him away. One of the medical staff said to Luo Leye, "Are you the family member of the deceased? We need you to accompany me to the hospital for follow-up procedures."

Luo Leye nodded as if she had lost her soul, then followed and got into the ambulance.

At this time, Chen Jinmei sat on the ground without saying a word. Gu Zijuan glanced at the country woman on the ground, then walked out of the house, and then said to Li Chen who was standing at the door: "Come on, let's go to the hospital with the ambulance. He faces it alone."

Only then did Zhou Zhen and Li Chen come to their senses, and said in unison, "The car is outside the entrance of the village."

"Then let's go quickly." Gu Zijuan turned her head slightly and glanced at the woman in the room behind her from the corner of her eye. Li Chen instantly understood what she meant when she saw it, and then took Zhou Zhen's hand and said, "Come on, let's go!" Drive, Aunt Gu, let's go together."

Above the sky, thick cumulus clouds covered the city, and lightning bolts pierced through the clouds from time to time and struck the world. Before the rain fell, the thunder continued.

46. ​​The Unspeakable Truth

The siren of the ambulance resounded everywhere it passed, as if roaring above each of them.

Luo Leye was sitting in the ambulance, looking at the person lying on the ambulance stretcher with a dull expression. Under the white cloth, it should be his most trustworthy and reliable relative, and it should be his most respected and beloved father. Looking at the white cloth that vaguely presented the outline of Luo Yong's face, at this moment he felt that everything was so unreal.

The ambulance arrived at a nearby general hospital smoothly. Two medical staff pushed the stretcher directly to the emergency room. After Luo Leye paid the service fee for the ambulance, the doctor also issued a death certificate. At the same time, the nurse also put the stretcher on the bed. The injured Luo Yong pushed him to the mortuary of the hospital and told him that he had to wait in line for two days before being sent to the funeral home for cremation.

Half an hour ago, Li Chen followed the ambulance all the way in his SUV, but because the ambulance could run a red light, but they couldn't, he lost track of them on the way.

"Zhou Zhen, call Luo Leye and ask which hospital he is in." Li Chen slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of a red light, watching the ambulance drive away into the distance.

"Don't worry, I'll call now." After Zhou Zhen finished speaking, he called Luo Leye, "Hey, Lao Luo, which hospital are you going to now? We lost track, oh, got it, we'll come right away , you will wait for us there."

"How do you say it?" Li Chen asked Zhou Zhen while turning on the phone's navigation, ready to enter the destination.

"X City West District General Hospital." Zhou Zhen replied.

At this time, Zhou Zhen and Li Chen were both very flustered. In the car, except for the AI ​​voice prompts of the navigation, the three of them did not speak a word. The atmosphere seemed to have dropped to minus thirty degrees, and the moisture in the air was almost gone. It condensed into ice.

Gu Zijuan looked out of the car window with a solemn expression. Before coming here, she had already prepared for the worst: either the man did not admit that the child was his and did not cooperate with the paternity test, or the other possibility was that the other party blackmailed her. The hush money, after all, the Gu family is well-known outside the home, and if the daughter knows this fact now, she must not be able to bear this fact; but Gu Zijuan is still thinking too naively, she did not expect that Luo Yong would be in such a situation 20 years later, she thought this At most, a person is just poor and living in a remote village, but he never thought that he would take the road of drug abuse. He recalled the stinky room, the indistinguishable body on the bed, his arm Gu Zijuan couldn't digest the images of countless needle holes on his face and the way he lay motionless on the ground at the end.

After the three arrived at the hospital, they found that Luo Leye had completed the formalities and was standing under the eaves of the emergency room, staring at the sky in a daze.

"Old Luo!" Zhou Zhen ran up first, hugged him and said, "It's okay, you can cry if you want, we are all here."

Luo Leye asked blankly, "Why are you crying?"

Zhou Zhen looked at him in surprise and said, "Your father is dead, so..."

Luo Leye asked back: "So I'm going to cry? Hehe." He smiled obscurely, and then said to the three of them: "The hospital said that it will take two days before they can be sent to the funeral parlor for cremation. I will come back to go through the formalities after two days , let's go back now."

Zhou Zhen and Li Chen looked at each other, Gu Zijuan stood there ignoring everything in front of him, but Luo Leye asked, "Gu Zijuan, which hotel are you staying at, we will send you back first."

"No, I'll take a taxi by myself." Gu Zijuan turned around and was about to leave, but Li Chen stepped forward and said, "Aunt Gu, let's see you off. It looks like it's going to rain heavily today, and the car is not easy to call."

Gu Zijuan looked up at the already dark sky. There was a grassy smell in the air, which indicated that a storm was coming.

"Let's go, we'll see you off." Luo Leye said again, this time Gu Zijuan didn't refuse again, and then the two seemed to have a tacit understanding, one after the other, they kept a certain distance and walked towards the car parked beside the hospital. Zhen and Li Chen followed after seeing this.

"Let me drive it, Aunt Gu, which hotel are you staying at?" Li Chen asked as he opened the car door.

"The Intercontinental Hotel in City X is near Road C." Gu Zijuan and Luo Leye sat in the back row, while Zhou Zhen sat in the passenger seat.

In the car, none of the four people spoke, and no one dared to speak. Li Chen wanted to turn on the car music to relieve the awkward atmosphere in the car, but when he was about to press the switch, Zhou Zhen beside him stopped him. Seeing the opponent's hand resting lightly on Li Chen's index finger, the touch ran through his whole body like an electric current, he looked at the opponent, Zhou Zhen was shaking his head in a very small way, silently telling him not to break the pressure. silence.

"When are you going back?" But Gu Zijuan's voice broke the silence at this moment. Li Chen didn't know whether Gu Zijuan was asking himself or Luo Leye. He looked at the woman in the rearview mirror, wondering if he should Opening his mouth to answer this question, at this moment, Luo Leye replied in an extremely calm tone: "In two days, I will leave after finishing my work, how about you?"

Gu Zijuan looked at her rose-colored nails and said calmly: "We will meet up at the hospital in two days, and we will go back together at that time."

Luo Leye felt that something was wrong. He felt that Gu Zijuan had something to say to him, but it was inconvenient to reveal it because of the presence of Zhou Zhen and Li Chen. This woman was eager to find an opportunity, and she still had to rush back, but what did she want? What do you say to yourself?

"We haven't even booked a flight ticket yet. We need to check the flight first before deciding which day to fly." Luo Leye turned on his phone and was about to check the flight, but Gu Zijuan who was on the side said, "Then book it now, as it happens that everyone is here."

Li Chen and Zhou Zhen listened silently to the conversation between the two people in the back row. Li Chen didn't know that there was a deep "relationship" between Gu Zijuan and Luo Leye, but Zhou Zhen guessed Gu Zijuan's identity. Feeling flustered, his fingers couldn't help picking at the flesh around his nails. After noticing this little gesture, Li Chen immediately held the other's hand, and said softly, "It's going to bleed."

Zhou Zhen didn't expect the other party to notice his subtle movements, so he said awkwardly: "Got it." Then he broke free from Li Chen's palm, and Li Chen shyly said after realizing his gaffe: "I'm sorry. .”

Zhou Zhen didn't answer, but pretended to be nonchalant, then turned around and looked back at Luo Leye and asked, "Have you selected your flight yet?"

"There is a direct flight to Q City at 3:10 p.m., and there are still 4 tickets left. The date is exactly two days away, and we can go straight after we finish our business." Luo Leye raised his head and looked at Gu Zijuan beside him, only to see her looking Said to himself: "You just buy [-] tickets and ask Gu Hongzhe for reimbursement when you go home."

The corners of Li Chen's mouth rose slightly, but he didn't laugh out loud. He felt that the four people in the car were very interesting at this time. After a lot of tossing around, it turned out that Gu Hongzhe's aunt asked Boss Gu to pay the bill himself. Thinking about it, he felt very sympathetic to Gu Hongzhe.

"Okay, I've bought it. At 9 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, we will pick you up in a car first, and then we will go to the hospital together. You pack your luggage, and we will go directly to the airport after finishing our work, and we will not go back to the hotel." Luo Leye looked serious, and his tone was calm and calm , it can't be seen at all that it is the person whose father just died.

"Understood." Gu Zijuan replied, her attitude made Luo Leye more sure of her guess: this woman must have something to talk to him, otherwise her attitude would not be so gentle.

After a while, raindrops the size of soybeans finally fell from the dark cloudy sky, hitting the windows and the roof of the car drop by drop. Luo Leye and Gu Zijuan looked out of the windows, and the rainstorm washed over the windows like a waterfall. Can't lose the mixed feelings in their hearts at this time.

After the four returned to the hotel, Luo Leye made a WeChat voice call to Li Chen while Zhou Zhen was taking a shower: "Hey, Li Chen, is it convenient for you now?"

Li Chen was making instant coffee in his room at this time, and was surprised when he received a WeChat call from the other party: "It's convenient, what's the matter?"

"I have something to ask you. About Gu Zijuan, can you please stop talking to Gu Hongzhe for the time being?
