Chapter 40 A woman’s heart is as deep as the bottom of the sea
It was difficult to get rid of those radio reporters.
At the gate of the police station, a police car came back from outside and stopped in the yard.
A female police officer came out of the car first, followed by two girls and a boy.
"Hou Linlin, is that you?" Su Qing recognized the girl walking in front of her at a glance.
It was Hou Linlin, the girl brought by Aunt Zhang for a blind date and who spoke well of Su Qing.
Hearing the call, the girl turned around and said, "Sister Su Qing!" She was like a lost and aggrieved child who suddenly found her relatives.
It turned out that Hou Linlin was also a victim. She was drugged and knocked unconscious at the Lingxi County Bus Station. When she woke up, she found herself tied up like a dumpling.
It was the station again. Su Qing thought that Hou Linlin was so miserable. Her wallet was stolen by a thief at the station, and now she was knocked unconscious and kidnapped at the station again.
If it weren’t for Su Qing, Hou Linlin wouldn’t have been rescued so easily by the police.
When Lu Xingchen learned that Hou Linlin had been abducted, he took a deep breath and felt scared for Su Qing. If there had been a mistake, Su Qing might have become a prey to human traffickers just like Hou Linlin.
Su Qing felt sorry for her and decided to stay and wait for Hou Linlin to come out so that she could protect her.
In fact, Su Qing understood Hou Linlin's feelings at the moment. Although she had no relationship with her, she had survived a disaster and gained new life and freedom in an extremely desperate situation.
It is true that we need to have loved ones around us to talk to and rely on.
Besides, Hou Lin is not related to Su Qing in any way, and she is willing to sacrifice her own blind date opportunity to defend and refute Su Qing in a realistic manner.
From this point of view, Su Qing has ten thousand reasons to stay.
Even if you can just say a few words of comfort in person, it would be acceptable.
Su Qing was thinking about something, and Lu Xingchen was silently by her side.
Judging from today's situation, Lu Xingchen has a new understanding of Su Qing, but he also vaguely feels that Su Qing always has a subtle and indescribable barrier towards him.
But Lu Xingchen couldn't tell exactly what was blocking it.
At this moment, the two of them sat side by side on a bench in the hall, each thinking about their own things without saying a word to each other.
This is the first time such a situation has occurred.
By the time Lu Xingchen reacted, he was thinking about finding some topic to break the damn silence, but Zuo Si didn't know what to say.
Apart from sleeping in the same bed last night, this was the second time they were alone since arriving in Kengkou Village.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Xingchen finally spoke.
"I have a question that I've wanted to ask you for a long time?" Almost at the same time, Su Qing finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
Su Qing's expression was very serious, which must have been the result of long and careful consideration.
"What is the relationship between you and Ru Mengyun?" Su Qing looked into Lu Xingchen's eyes, probably trying to find the answer from Lu Xingchen's eyes.
Lu Xingchen did not dodge, "Is this the reason why you suddenly disappeared in the ten days after I was injured?" He did not directly answer Su Qing's question.
"Yes, do you know what Ru Meng told me? She said that before I married you, you two were a couple, and she asked me to forget you. You also asked me to forget you in the letter you gave me. Why is that?" The emotions that had been accumulated in Su Qing's heart for a long time suddenly burst out.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault! When it comes to national justice and love, I have no choice, and you have been wronged." Lu Xingchen wanted to grab Su Qing's hand, but Su Qing pulled it away.
"Tell me, what is your relationship with Ru Mengyun, and why do you want to marry me?" At this time, Su Qing's eyes were filled with tears before she finished speaking.
"I admit that Ru Mengyun likes me, but I have clearly told her that I only treat her as a sister. As for marrying you, I will tell you the first time when the time is right." I didn't expect Su Qing to be so concerned about her emotional issues. Lu Xingchen has always been rigorous and thoughtful in his work. Even under questioning, he still spoke logically.
"She likes you, that's good." Su Qing wiped her tears and sat on another chair.
Isn't this a fake marriage? Why is she so nervous about my affairs?
Although Lu Xingchen thought so, he didn't ask directly.
The two of them began to sit quietly again, in a long silence, without saying a word.
Hou Linlin came out and saw Su Qing was still there, so she walked over.
"You're out? How did you arrange it? Do you need me to accompany you to stay at a guesthouse? I guess there are no cars at the station now." Su Qing pulled Hou Linlin to sit on an empty chair.
"Thank you so much today. I just heard from the police comrades that it was you who caught the leader. They provided the intelligence, so the police were able to rescue us." Hou Linlin stood up and bowed to Su Qing continuously.
"You're welcome. You've helped me a lot today. Neither of us owes anyone a favor." Su Qing was obviously forcing a smile, as her tears hadn't even dried yet.
"I owe you too much, Sister Su Qing. Do you still remember Hou Laoliu? He is my brother. You spoke well of him and saved him from jail.
"Sister Su Qing, are you crying?" Hou Linlin seemed quite attentive. "Wait for the police station comrades to take us back in a police car. If you have other things to do, you don't have to accompany me."
"Okay then, take care of yourself and try not to go out alone at night." Su Qing said goodbye to Hou Linlin and got up to leave.
Lu Xingchen followed behind, not knowing what to say.
Su Qing wanted to leave a memory for her grandmother, so she had planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative before she passed away and buy a small tape recorder because her grandmother liked to listen to the news and operas.
Lu Xingchen followed behind, occasionally taking the newly bought items handed over by Su Qing.
After a lot of effort, Su Qing's big purchase was completed, and Lu Xingchen's hands were heavy.
After riding the tricycle back to Kengkou Village, when Liu Po learned that Su Qing had given her a radio and some delicious snacks, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
In particular, the radio was broadcasting the news about Su Qing bravely fighting against the criminals.
With the polish of the reporter's writing and the atmosphere created, the rescue process was quite exciting. Such heroic deeds should soon spread to thousands of households.
"Grandma, we will be going back in two days. These things I left for you are snacks for you. Remember, when I send you something in the future, I will send it under your name. After we go back, you must take care of yourself." Su Qing has always been more concerned about old ladies.
In her previous life, the misery of her later years left a deep impression on Su Qing. Just like the hatred towards the traffickers, it planted a seed in Su Qing's heart that she could never get rid of.
After returning to the room, Su Qing didn't even feel like taking a shower. She just sat alone in a corner, cutting newspapers and muttering to herself.
The little hedgehog has spread out all the thorns on its body and won't allow anyone to touch it.
If you touch it, you will definitely be hurt by the thorns.
Lu Xingchen was also very distressed. Su Qing had been fine since she came to Kengkou Village, but today she was acting out of character and he didn't know what to do.
A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.
I don't know what made her care so much about Ru Mengyun. Could it be that she started to have feelings for me?
Lu Xingchen was not a nosy person who would guess people's minds, but now that it had happened to him, there were some things he still had to figure out.
