Chapter 96 Meeting
Liang Xi's bad words worked again. Two days later, Yingluck was attacked while driving on the afternoon of the day after taking daily necessities from the police dormitory and staying at a colleague's house. Two gunmen rode motorcycles and waited side by side with Yingluck's car at a red light. The gunman in the back seat pulled out a submachine gun and fired. Yingluck reacted quickly and fell sideways to the passenger seat.
Two MI6 agents who were following Yingluck drove through the gap between the cars and knocked down the gangster's motorcycle. One gangster was shot dead on the spot, and the other was captured alive. Yingluck was shot several times and sent to the hospital, her life or death unknown.
The news of Yingluck being attacked became the top news. The well-prepared official held a press conference to respond to the public opinion and said: The identity of the gangster who attacked Yingluck has been confirmed. He has been wanted by the police for the subway bombing. There are reports that he participated in an extremist armed organization in the Middle East. It was once suspected that this person was killed in an ambush on the British army.
The criminal who was captured alive is a second-generation Irish immigrant, a non-Arab Caucasian with no criminal history. The police are conducting a comprehensive background check on him. The police confirmed that the brave man is a judicial staff member who is on vacation. Considering security issues and confidentiality needs, the police refused to release their information.
The response was very successful, not only satisfying the public, but also giving the nervous top brass a sigh of relief. They were more afraid that if MI6 had not arranged a backup plan, the top brass would have been in big trouble if the criminals had killed someone and escaped. As for Yingluck's life or death, they did not care.
After multiple surgeries and rescue efforts, 18 hours after the attack, the reporter learned from the attending doctor that Yingluck was no longer in danger of death. A few hours later, Liang Xi learned more detailed information from Liu Zhen. Yingluck was paralyzed below the waist, and even if she actively underwent follow-up surgery and physical therapy, it would be difficult for her to recover and walk.
The good news is that Yingluck was acquitted and she doesn't have to worry about medical expenses, rehabilitation expenses, and convalescent expenses. I don't know if others think it is good news, but Liang Xi thinks it should be good news. Liang Xi has no feelings for Yingluck, and feels that she is just a passerby. Although she is beautiful and cute, she loses points because of Thresh.
The bad news is that Liang Xi was also admitted to the hospital and was sent by Bobby to the already panic-stricken Maria Hospital.
During the fourth free ghost-seeing session, Liang Xi had a cold sweat, vomited, had a fever, and felt uncomfortable all over. After a comprehensive VIP physical examination, the doctor determined the cause of the disease: acute gastroenteritis. The main reasons were: long-term insufficient vitamin intake, lack of basic exercise, using black tea instead of water to hinder gastrointestinal digestion, etc. The doctor explained that Liang Xi did not smoke or drink, and at Liang Xi's age, it would not normally lead to illness. The main reason was only one: Liang Xi's exercise was really shockingly little. His steps per day did not exceed 300.
The doctor prescribed medicine. Considering Liang Xi's mild planus, he was advised to walk at least 2,000 steps a day. He also recommended cycling and swimming. The doctor told Liang Xi clearly that if he did not exercise, his body functions would age faster after the age of 40, and his quality of life in middle and old age would be very poor.
…
The day Liang Xi was discharged from the hospital, it had been a week since the attack on Yingluck. Before being discharged, Liang Xi met Fiona and Yingluck. Fiona pushed Yingluck along the tree-lined path in the small park, smiling and talking all the time. Yingluck, on the other hand, was in a low mood, silent, and even deliberately knocked over the fruit plate. Fiona was not angry, and while joking, she picked up the fruit on the ground and put it back in the bowl.
Fiona didn't see Liang Xi, she squatted beside Yingluck and talked to her. Karin came to Liang Xi's side at some point, watched Liang Xi for a while, and asked , "Do you know that you have become a topic of conversation among our medical staff?"
Liang Xi turned around to look at Karin and laughed: "Is it because he's handsome?"
Karin said, "Because you stay at home, you are used as a typical example. I believe that in ten years, there will still be doctors telling patients: There was a case in Maria Hospital. The patient was only 23 years old and was sent to the emergency room one night. The reason for his illness was that his average daily steps for several years were less than 300 steps..."
Liang Xi interrupted: "Three hundred is already a lot, okay?"
Karin asked, "And then?"
Liang Xi asked, "Did you go jogging in Berning Park at night?"
Karin smiled and said, "Welcome to Night Walk."
Liang Xi: "I'll come when I figure it out."
Karin knew that Liang Xi was determined to change, but she just didn't want to admit her mistakes in front of others. Karin didn't say much, and changed the subject to look at Fiona: "If she insists on physical therapy, there is still hope that she can stand up with the help of crutches."
Liang Xisi said with a hint of meaning: "She lost her legs, but gained love."
Karin said: "For many people, gain is loss. Leaving some regrets can make the past relationship more meaningful and memorable."
It was not Fiona who said this, but Liang Xi. Liang Xi looked at Karin and said, "You know so much." Karin tilted her head and made a gesture of "you can't do anything to me."
Liang Xi answered the phone: "Hello."
Thresh: "Thresh! I'm going to kill the Holy Banner. If you're interested in joining, I'll visit you at the detective agency tonight and drink green tea."
Liang Xi replied: "Only black tea, you can drink it if you like."
Thresh: See you tonight.
Thresh's attitude made Liang Xi stunned. What do you mean? Do you really dare to come? Aren't you afraid of my ambush? His provocative words did not receive any response, which made Liang Xi feel that Thresh seemed to be serious and he was really going to come at night. Liang Xi supported the killing of the Holy Flag with both hands and feet. Not to mention John's matter, they should also be held accountable for the dozens of lives of Saint Mary.
Whenever he heard about a terrorist attack, Liang Xi would condemn the bad guys and express condolences to the deceased. The difference is that the attack on St. Mary's Hospital happened to him, which gave Liang Xi an extra sense of responsibility for revenge. Although he was powerless, he had a strong offensive spirit.
Liang Xi hung up the phone and asked, "Karin, would it be almost the same effect if I bought a treadmill and walked?" He didn't give Karin a chance to doubt the call.
Karin responded, "I suggest you buy a skipping rope."
Liang Xi asked: "Why?"
"Because the treadmill is heavy, you can't throw it." After saying that , Karin laughed at Liang Xi's angry look and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of exercise you do, it matters when you start exercising. I'm leaving. Bye."
…
Sports? Yes! Chess can actually be considered a sport. After dinner, Liang Xi used his mobile phone to look up sports at the detective agency. No, this won't fool even myself. Fishing is considered a sport, not bad, find a good place, throw the hook, and read a book by yourself, not bad, not bad. Darts are also okay, not tiring. In this case, of course I chose to go to Berning Park for a night walk, after all, there are beauties.
There was a knock on the door. Liang Xi opened the door and a man wearing a mask appeared in front of him. Liang Xi looked at it for three seconds and said, "The quality of the mask is very poor." Silicone mask.
The man said nothing, but waved his hand to let Liang Xi move aside. Liang Xi stepped back and the man walked in. Liang Xi judged that this guy should be Thresh.
Thresh took out something that looked like a sleep apnea machine and put it on, saying in a changed voice: "It doesn't feel technological at all."
Liang Xi walked towards the office room: "There is a switch on your left. If you want to experience the sense of technology, you can touch the foundation of technology: electricity. You may even be able to travel through time."
Thresh followed Liang Xi into the office, sat down at the coffee table, and pulled a handful of belly fat. Liang Xi, who was boiling water, said disdainfully: "Fake abs? They're wrapped like this! You might as well just call directly."
Thresh said, "You think I don't want to make a call? Things are complicated, there's nothing I can do." Thresh took off his computer bag and pulled out a laptop from it.
Liang Xi poured the tea and placed it in front of Thresh. "Aren't you afraid that I might ambush you?"
Thresh asked back: "How can I drink?" He was wearing a voice changer.
Liang Xi asked back, "Have you ever heard of enema?"
Thresh was angry: "Even an enema needs a tube, can't you give me a straw?"
