Chapter 340 I'm Happy with It
When the surprise in the small building ended like a mirage, Chi Xia also returned to her room.
It was impossible for her to sleep with such a loud commotion, so when Lao K and the others came out, she went downstairs to greet them. As soon as she got closer, she saw Lao K's face full of disappointment.
Ade also followed Lao K. When he saw Chi Xia appear in front of them, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Old K saw Chi Xia was also a little anxious. He ignored his back injury and took two quick steps to Chi Xia and asked, "What did you say to him today?"
Chi Xia pretended to be confused: "Why, he woke up?"
Old K's eyes flashed with disappointment: "It was said that there were signs of him waking up, but then there was no movement. When you went to see him today, was there anything wrong?"
Chi Xia saw a father's desire on his face, the same look he had when Uncle Gen asked them to help find his child, but seeing this expression on the man in front of her, she felt only retribution.
"Nothing happened. He just said a few words about Deng Runmei and Huang Wenfei. If there was something wrong, wouldn't the doctor have discovered it long ago? Why do we have to wait until now?"
Old K had a hard day that whole day. First, he was threatened by Chi Xia and injured his waist, and then she told him about Gao Lan. Although he didn't fall into Chi Xia's trap so easily, it is undeniable that he did hear some of her words to his heart.
In this situation, the news that his son might wake up gave him great hope. He rushed over happily, but walked out full of disappointment. Now he felt a little exhausted.
So even though he heard the sarcasm in Chi Xia's tone, he didn't take it too seriously and was helped back.
Looking at his slightly hunched figure, Chi Xia just smiled coldly. He would have to endure much more than what he had done.
The group left, and Ade stayed at the end, standing side by side with Chi Xia.
The two of them were a few steps behind the main group. Chi Xia lowered his voice and said, "Send a message to Qu Bai and the others. I have confirmed the location."
Ade was delighted and hummed: "The security system is still a problem. I will help you tomorrow."
"Need not."
Chi Xia said, "Just leave it to me. I've checked the security room. Old Seven Mo is not here, and the people there are just like that. When chaos breaks out, I'll have a chance. Just protect my mom and don't let Old K use her to threaten me."
Ade responded: "There are things you can use in the cabinet in the sir's room."
This was a pleasant surprise, Chi Xia smiled and said, "I see."
…
At six o'clock in the morning, Gui Lai, who was guarding outside, saw through the telescope that the light in a room in the manor was turned on and off three times in succession.
He was delighted and said to himself, "Beautiful!" He rubbed his hands, took out his cell phone and called Luo Xun and the others: "Brother-in-law, tell my brother that Chi Xia is OK."
After hanging up the phone, Gui Lai did not return to the police station immediately. Instead, he took advantage of the time when most people were asleep and carefully walked to the dog hole found by Cheng Jiu.
He was wearing a headset, which was connected to Lin Cuo's. He crouched in the corner and spoke to Lin Cuo stealthily: "I'm back. I was once a people's policeman with great military exploits, and now I'm a well-known boss in the business world. Now I'm digging a dog hole at the foot of someone else's wall. Sister Cuo, do you think my sacrifice is big enough?"
Lin Cuo on the other end snorted and laughed: "I can't even cover your mouth while working, hurry up and punch your hole."
"I worked very hard, but the tools were not powerful enough."
Guilai sighed and looked at the small shovel in his hand: "I really dig up shit and piss, you don't know how difficult my conditions are."
Lin Cuo couldn't stand his noise and cut off the connection directly.
The cold wind blew across Guilai's face. He felt aggrieved for two seconds, then he grunted and started to punch his hole again.
After Luo Xun hung up the phone, he immediately went to find Qu Bai.
Qu Bai and Lin Wenjue had just come out after meeting Chi Xiao and Cheng Jiu.
Although he had been enduring for several days in a row, Lin Wenjue's face was flushed and he was very excited at this moment.
The appearance of Qu Bai made Chi Xiao and Cheng Jiu completely collapse, but what surprised him was that Cheng Jiu's collapse was even more serious than Chi Xiao's.
This was mainly reflected in the fact that after learning about Qu Bai's situation over the years, he staged a very vivid crazy drama in the detention room.
On the other hand, when Chi Xiao saw Qu Bai appear, the shock in her eyes was no less than Cheng Jiu's, but she quickly understood.
She laughed out loud until tears came out of her eyes, then she said, "So that's how it is, Qu Bai. From the beginning to the end, everyone was in your trap. We were all your pawns. You acted really well!"
Qu Bai looked at her with deep eyes: "Many years ago, I told you, don't worry, I will do my best to rescue everyone, but you didn't believe me."
Chi Xiao looked at him, her expression was complicated, full of resentment, forbearance, grievance, and even a bit of relief in the end.
"But why did you have to save Chi Xia first?!"
Qu Bai looked at her and said, "She is the person I want to save the most. As for you, it's just for convenience. If you want to stay there, I will satisfy you and save me the trouble."
This is an answer that is not difficult to think of, but seeing the person she is jealous of always being favored again and again, Chi Xiao still can't help the anger and unwillingness in her heart.
"I don't accept it!" She gritted her teeth and said, "Qu Bai, I don't accept it. Why does she get everyone's preference?"
"You are wrong."
Qu Bai spoke slowly: "She has endured things that you have never endured. If you must compare, you are just spectators watching the show outside the cage, and she is the protagonist who endures the pain. But is she supposed to do that? Was she chosen? I tell you, no, it is only because she went that you can be free from that kind of fear and torture."
"She went there for you, but you think it is an honor for her," Qu Bai said again.
Chi Xiao laughed softly as tears mixed with her. She lowered her head and looked at the handcuffs on her wrists: "Have you ever thought of going along with the crowd for a moment?"
“I have thought about it.”
"when?"
"She wasn't even family yet."
Chi Xiao's eyes were shocked. She raised her head, her face full of tears: "So in all these years, you never thought about being like us, right?"
"yes."
"When did your memory return?"
She already knew the answer, but still didn't believe it when someone else said it.
Qu Bai said, "Very early."
"So all these years..." Chi Xiao's voice trembled: "How did you cope with those tests?"
"I'll carry it." Qu Bai said, "I have my destination, and I'm happy with it."
"I'm happy with it..."
Chi Xiao repeated these words: "I am so happy with it, Qu Bai, what a happy life you are having! Then do you know who has given you such a happy life over the years?"
"I know."
Qu Bai looked at her and said, "It was you who leaked the news. It was also you who caused the explosion early. I know everything."
Chi Xiao's lips trembled: "Then why don't you expose me! Why don't you retaliate against me? It's me who made you stay in that hell!"
Qu Bai was still looking at her, and Chi Xiao actually saw compassion in his eyes.
He said: "Chi Xiao, in that hell, we are all victims. We should stand together. In order to survive, we will do something we have to do, but there should be no jealousy in that place."
After he finished saying this, Chi Xiaodun stood there for a long time without moving.
Then an uncontrollable cry broke the brief silence, and all her emotions burst out with this cry.
After saying so much, Qu Bai turned and left.
Chi Xiao called him, her voice still tearful: "Qu Bai, I want to eat dumplings."
Qu Bai stopped but did not turn around.
"The year Chi Xia escaped, you fell into a coma and didn't wake up until New Year's Eve."
She stared at Qu Bai's back: "He asked me to be Chi Xia's shadow from now on. I didn't want to use her name. On the 30th of that year, I became Chi Xiao. We ate dumplings together. They were stuffed with celery. I wanted to eat them."
"Okay." Qu Bai said.
"After eating dumplings, I will tell you everything I know," she said again.
"Okay." Qu Bai responded again and continued to walk out.
"My name is not Chi Xiao!"
Chi Xiao's voice rang out hysterically behind him: "I hate this name, I hate the code name of Fox, I hate those memories that don't belong to me! I hate everything about Chi Xia!"
She didn't say the rest.
She hated being helpless, but she felt there was no point in saying it.
But Chi Xiao couldn't remember what her name was.
Qu Bai still didn't look back, he just sighed softly.
A long time ago, she was just one of many children called by a code name.
Whether it is 10 or 30, or 40 to 50, no matter which one it is, these numbers are all sad.
