To die

Lin Yan was in the hospital when he got wind of it.

That was the fifth day after he had a conflict with Lu Hanqian.

In the morning, Lin Yan went to the supermarket to do some shopping. He wanted to buy some tea, tissues, staples and the like.

These daily necessities are always consumed very quickly, and they have to be repurchased almost every two weeks.

Originally they were supposed to be purchased by the little assistant, but Lin Yan was alone, unlike the little sister of the assistant who had a boyfriend waiting to go home for dinner.

These trivial chores fell on his head.

There are people coming and going in the supermarket, and it is too noisy.

The air in the fresh food area was mixed with the light fragrance of various melons and fruits, the earthy smell of some vegetables and the damp water vapor, which turned into an indescribably strange smell.

Lin Yan was carefully identifying the water spinach in one hand and the free-range eggs in the other.

Unlike most of his peers, Lin Yan is very good at picking vegetables.

He lived with his grandmother when he was a child, and every time his grandmother went back to the vegetable market, Lin Yan would go with her to help her carry things.

While buying, grandma would nag and tell him that this one is red sweat vegetable, that one is leek, and the one next to it is green leafy vegetable...

"Red Khan Vegetables, it's only fresh like this."

The rickety old woman tore open the stem and told him trivially:

"Here, Yanyan, look here, the body is evenly red..."

The young Lin Yan tilted his head, staring at these bright green, fresh and lovely vegetable leaves, his big eyes flickering——

He is a beautiful child who couldn't be more beautiful.

The aunt who sells vegetables next to her will laugh: "Grandma, your grandson is so fair and gentle, and he will definitely do great things in the future. Why do you teach him this?"

"What's the big deal?"

The woman in her 70s looked serious: "Whatever you do, you must first learn to be kind to the people around you. Only such gentle and gentle boys can please girls."

Until now, when Lin Yan closes his eyes, he can still recall those dry, wrinkled and stained hands.

It's not pretty at all, it's calloused and rough to the touch.

But it was unexpectedly warm and dry, which once brought Lin Yan all the sense of security in his childhood.

"Yanyan, grandma is getting old, but grandma dare not die."

"...Grandma wants to last until Yanyan reaches adulthood, so she can't make Yanyan us orphans."

Lin Yan often thinks that his grandmother told him so many times, "You must not forget your mother, and you must not make those people feel better..."

But in fact, what she really taught Lin Yan was kindness, justice and love.

Lin Yan picked out the eggs and vegetables, and prepared to take them to the cashier to pay.

But just as he walked to the corner of the cargo rack, a strong heart palpitation suddenly came without warning.

Lin Yan started to ring in his ears, his limbs were weak, and his cheeks were cold.

He had no choice but to slowly squat down along the wall, tightening his body bit by bit, and curled up in the corner——

At that moment, Lin Yan realized something. He wanted to call for help, but he couldn't make a sound, and his whole body was sweating.

Maybe a few minutes, maybe tens of seconds, but to Lin Yan, it seemed like a century.

It wasn't until this feeling subsided slowly and his heart was beating alive again that Lin Yan realized that he seemed to have brushed shoulders with death just now.

The picked egg was already broken, and the bright orange yolk stained Lin Yan's beige windbreaker.

He stood up slowly leaning on the wall, went to the cashier to settle the bill, and then took a taxi directly to the hospital.

His mother had heart disease, Lin Yan suddenly remembered, and heart disease... seems to be hereditary.

From registration to payment, the journey was smooth.

When Lin Yan was queuing up outside the ECG color chart with the payment slip, he wanted to take advantage of the waiting time to see if there were any unread messages.

So Lin Yan saw the text message.

It was sent by an old senior who liked Lin Yan very much. The other party asked, Lin Yan, have you offended anyone recently?

Lin Yan was in a daze, not knowing why, and said no, the only case he had at hand was Gu Li's.

The old lawyer didn't call him back, but Lin Yan felt a little uneasy.

He immediately called the prosecutor he knew well.

Lin Yan couldn't believe it when he heard the other party's faltering and vague hints.

"Are you sure?" Lin Yan asked repeatedly.

"Why did I lie to you?"

The other party sighed: "Besides, what he said was aimed at you, Lin Lu."

"..."

"I didn't mean you, Xiao Lin, did you...that didn't come in place?"

He said on the phone: "These people have big appetites, and the Lu family is even more difficult to approach. I think they used to support your lawsuit, but now they suddenly turned back...Is there some misunderstanding?"

Li Jian's words were very meaningful.

He always thought that Lin Yan was connected with the Lu family.

Otherwise, this young junior, how could he have the courage to go against the high-ranking cadres.

Who to tease and who not to tease, most likely it is the Lu family who gave instructions behind their backs, and it's just black and white under the guise of fairness and justice.

"..."

Lin Yan rubbed the center of his brows, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's not for this reason."

He hung up the phone and immediately called Lu Hanqian.

However, uncharacteristically, this time Lu Hanqian did not connect for a long time.

It wasn't until the fourth time, when I was about to hang up automatically, that there was a casual "Hello?" from the phone.

Lin Yan didn't show any courtesy at all, so he asked straightforwardly, "Why did you do this?"

Lu Hanqian on the other end lazily leaned on the leather chair, with his toes rubbing against the ground.The chair swivels slightly around the desk.

He smiled softly and asked innocently, "What's wrong? What have I done?"

"...Lu Hanqian, that is the life of a single mother who has worked so hard to raise her daughter for 16 years!"

Lin Yan clenched his fingers tightly on the phone: "Do you have a conscience?"

Lu Hanqian said slowly: "I'm very busy, if you have nothing important to do, I'll hang up."

Lin Yan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Otherwise, if you can come to my office before I get off work and talk about your difficulties, maybe I can help."

Lu Hanqian idly turned the pen, tilted his head slightly, as if remembering something again, and added: "Oh yes, the navy blue windbreaker I bought for you last time is very pretty, why haven't I seen you wear it a few times? "

"..."

"Just come in that dress."

Lu Hanqian said lazily, "If you are disobedient, I'll go drink flower wine after get off work."

Lin Yan closed his eyes patiently, and said hoarsely, "Lu Hanqian—"

"You have 29 minutes."

However, Lu Hanqian interrupted him abruptly, and said coldly: "Lin Yan, we have been together for so long, am I pampering you too much?"

"You have to be obedient to what I say. If you are told to come at five o'clock, you can't even be one minute late——

Otherwise, I don't know how your case will be judged. "

"..."

Lin Yan's finger was so hard that it turned pale, and his Adam's apple rolled in an oppressive way.

"Now you only have 27 minutes left."

Lu Hanqian said coldly, "You can think about what to do."

"Number 209, Lin Guyan, please enter Room [-] for color electrocardiogram."

However, at this moment, on the electronic screen scrolling in the hospital hall, a notice appeared that it was Lin Yan's turn to be checked.

"I'll just wait for you until five o'clock."

Lu Hanqian on the other end continued: "You only have one chance. Lin Yan, it's useless if you turn around and cry and beg me on your knees."

"No. 209 Lin Guyan, is Lin Guyan there?"

Seeing that no one went in for a long time, the nurse came out and stood at the door yelling.

Lin Yan raised his head and quietly glanced at the electronic screen.

Then, he let out a suppressed breath, and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I'll go there now."

Lin Yan crumpled up the calling slip and threw it into the trash can.

Then he walked out of the hospital without looking back.
