2. Wake up
In the hospital, Xiaoyu sat quietly on a chair outside the emergency room, holding Gao Jin's navy blue coat and staring blankly, making the young policewoman Li Ruonan feel sad. Just as Li Ruonan wanted to say something, the doctor came out of the emergency room.
The doctor is not old, and she looks in her early thirties. Wenjing wears a pair of gold-wire-edged glasses on her face, which makes people feel very gentle and elegant, making people feel good at it. Xiaoyu stood up from the chair, and she gestured in panic, making a babbling sound in her throat.
"Doctor, how is the victim?" Looking at the anxious Xiaoyu, Li Ruonan stepped forward and asked the doctor.
"The trauma is a bit serious, but there is no big problem. It's just that the blood loss is too much and you may wake up tomorrow." The doctor looked at the little girl staring at him with a look of expectation. He hesitated for a moment before answering with a smile, and then asked the nurse to send Gao Jin to the general ward.
When he returned to the office, the doctor sighed. The young man was not as good as he said. He is currently in an irreversible deep coma and has lost consciousness. In layman's terms, he is a vegetable.
In the ward, Xiaoyu sat by the bed, looking at Gao Jin who was unconscious, and a vague and small sound was made in her throat. She wanted Gao Jin to wake up by hearing her voice. She was so afraid that Gao Jin would lie down quietly like she is now and would never wake up again.
Li Ruonan was watching the thin girl from the side, making small and small sounds with difficulty. The "father" who wanted to lie on the bed heard the vague and small babbling sound in the quiet ward made her feel a little sad. Finally, she walked out of the ward and stayed in the aisle outside the ward.
The sound of the vibrating cell phone suddenly rang in Li Ruonan's pocket of shirt, "Well, I understand." After hearing the captain's words on the other phone, Li Ruonan hung up the phone, and she pushed open the door of the ward again. Xiaoyu was already sleeping in front of the bed. She walked over gently, picked her up and put it on the empty bed beside her, and then covered her with a quilt.
After moving a bench for care, Li Ruonan sat down, looked at the young man on the hospital bed, then looked at the little girl who was sleeping beside him, shook her head, "Do you father or daughter?" In a whisper, the young female policewoman who seemed to have been aroused of some worries wrapped her blanket tightly and fell asleep.
In the dark ward, Gao Jin's breathing suddenly became vague, the curve of the electrocardiogram also showed irregular and drastic changes, the bioelectricity in the body also became abnormally disordered, and the muscles in the body were vibrating at a high frequency that was invisible to the naked eye.
"Am I dying?" Gao Jin murmured in the rapid backward image, looking at his past quietly. Until when he adopted Xiaoyu four years ago, he couldn't see the picture, but he knew everything that happened.
All the memories were broken in an instant, leaving only a bright white space. Gao Jin held his head with a confused look on his face. All the memories he had when he adopted Xiaoyu in his mind were clearly visible, but there was no specific image. He tried hard to recall and figure out all this, but whenever he thought of those memories, it seemed as if something was stopping him. In the severe pain of his head, Gao Jin's consciousness began to blur.
In the quiet ward, the curve changes on the electrocardiogram became even more extreme, and then a strange heartbeat sounded. Gao Jin's breathing, which was unconscious on the bed, began to gradually become stronger, and the body stopped the high-frequency vibration that was invisible to the naked eye.
Gao Jin opened his eyes and couldn't see his five fingers in the ward, but Gao Jin found that he could see things in the dark, as if he was watching things during the day. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
Gao Jin turned his head and saw Xiao Yu on the hospital bed beside him and the young policewoman sleeping with a blanket. He pulled out the needle tube connected to his body, Gao Jin got off the ground and walked to Xiao Yu's bed.
Gao Jin frowned. The quilt covered by Xiaoyu was not thick. Although he was asleep, his body was shaking slightly due to chills. "What a careless woman." Gao Jin turned around and looked at the young policewoman curled up in the bench, shook his head, then picked up Xiaoyu, put it on the bed where he was sleeping, covered her with a warm quilt, and then covered Xiaoyu's quilt on the young policewoman.
"At that time, was it an adrenal hormone outbreak?" Gao Jin got up to himself when he thought of fighting with the man with the topaz like eyeballs, but soon he denied it himself. At that time, he seemed to have completely lost control of his body, watching himself fight. Thinking of this, Gao Jin began to get irritated. What he experienced last night was simply incredible to him.
The night was long, but Gao Jin was not tired at all. He walked to the window near the ward, opened the curtains, and opened a gap, allowing the cold and cold wind to blow on his face to calm himself down. He recalled everything that happened to him over and over again, trying to figure out what was happening to him, such as who was the man with the eyes of the topaz, why did he attack him, and he was just an ordinary person, obviously suffering such severe injuries, but now it was almost healed in the middle of the night, and all of this confused him.
Gao Jin stood by the window all night until dawn passed and the sky turned white, and he came to his senses. At this time, Li Ruonan also woke up. Seeing the tall figure by the window, she subconsciously jumped up and touched the gun holster at her waist.
Seeing that the young female policeman who seemed to misunderstand him drew his gun, Gao Jin quickly made a gesture of silence, and then pointed at Xiaoyu's sleeping bed. He did not want this careless young female policeman to wake Xiaoyu up.
Li Ruonan put his hand down from her waist. At this time, she had seen clearly the patient's clothes that Gao Jin was wearing. It was the victim who was seriously injured yesterday. "You are healing." Li Ruonan looked at the burly young man in front of him who seemed to be nothing wrong, and was a little unbelievable.
"I think it should be fine." Gao Jin replied softly, picked up the quilt and blanket on the ground, folded it and put it on the bed beside him, "Let's go out and talk." Seeing that the young policewoman wanted to ask about what happened last night, Gao Jin spoke first.
Li Ruonan nodded. She knew that this young man named Gao Jin didn't want their conversation to disturb his daughter. When he walked out of the room, Li Ruonan remembered the quilt he covered on him when he woke up, and couldn't help but frowned. She was not used to being cared for, "When did you get up?"
"It's not long since I got up." Gao Jin didn't want others to know about him, so he answered casually.
The two sat on the aisle chair outside the ward. Under Li Ruonan's inquiry, Gao Jin said what happened last night, "Anyway, I don't know that person, and I don't know why that person did that?"
"You said that man's eyes were of the color of topaz?" Li Ruonan didn't believe Gao Jin's words. She had never heard of anyone who could punch someone five meters away, and broke a big tree as thick as a sea bowl. Moreover, the person who was beaten had nothing to do in one night. Such words could not deceive the child.
"Maybe he's wearing contact lenses." Seeing that the young policewoman didn't believe what she said, Gao Jin had no choice but to stand up and said, "I will go back to the police station to take a record, but my words are still the same." After that, Gao Jin found the nurse who checked the rounds in the morning and asked her to take her to go through the discharge procedures.
Standing in front of the phone, Gao Jin was a little confused. He didn't know who he should call. He was alone in Shanghai and he had no relatives. The people in the company nodded. The only phone number of his colleague he remembered was Bai Su, who was avoided by everyone. Thinking of this, Gao Jin laughed self-deprecatingly. He might be the same person as Bai Su in the eyes of others, and in the end he dialed the number.
The extremely sad piano melody of "Black Sunday" sounded in the room that looked neat and almost simple. Bai Su, who had already risen, looked at the vibrating mobile phone with a somewhat indifferent expression. To her, carrying a mobile phone just made her look more like an ordinary person, because no one knew her number.
Bai Su picked up her phone and looked at the unfamiliar number with a hesitant expression. She remembered everyone's number very clearly. "" Bai Su finally answered it. The moment she was about to hang up just now, she suddenly remembered Gao Jin, the only person she had told the number.
"Hey..." Bai Su felt very happy when she heard the familiar hoarse voice coming from the receiver of the phone, but the voice she answered had not changed, as mechanically and cold as ever.
In a business room at Grand Hyatt Hotel, several streets away, a blond foreign man was observing Bai Su who was standing in the living room by the window through a monocoque high-power telescope with a German zeiss lens. He did not walk back to the living room with heavy curtains after she went out and got on the bus.
There was no light in the living room. An old man in dark blue dress sat on the sofa, blending with the darkness around him. If it weren't for the silver knife that pounded his fingertips, almost no one could have noticed him. The blonde foreign man turned on the wall light and walked to the old man who was peeling apples, and said in a very standard Chinese language, "Master, she's back, as usual."
The old man didn't say anything, but stopped the silver knife in his hand. On the coffee table was a pile of apple skins as thin as cicada's wings and as thin as silk. The peeled apple was quietly placed there, with a smooth surface like polished porcelain.
The blonde foreign man looked at the apple like an artwork, his eyes full of reverence and envy. He didn't know when he would be able to achieve such high wrist control like his master. Suddenly, the blonde foreign man walked quickly to the notebook beside him, opened the email window, downloaded the information inside and started reading.
"Is there news again?" The old man spoke and looked at the disciple who was flipping through the documents, "What is the details of the person named Gao Jin?"
"Yes, Master." The blonde foreign man closed his notebook and turned around and said, "Gao Jin, 26 years old, graduated from the Department of Chinese Language and Literature of Hangzhou Normal University four years ago. When he was intern at Hangzhou Xuejun Middle School, he was disqualified from his teacher's qualifications for beating his parents. He then adopted an eight-year-old girl in Hangzhou. He currently holds a civilian position in a company in Shanghai. He has no bad habits and has a very narrow social circle. He is an inconspicuous role in the company that is ignored." Speaking of this, the blonde foreign man looked at the thoughtful old man on the sofa. "Family members are not complicated. They will go back to Jiaxing to see their parents every three months. Life is quite regular, but in short, they are very ordinary people."
"Average people?" The old man muttered to himself without any objection, and then asked the disciple, "Matthew, have you found out why no.2 treats him differently?"
"No.2 entered this company three months ago. The relationship between the two is just a normal colleague. However, when no.2 first arrived at this company, Gao Jin helped no.2 at a party, and there was nothing special about it." Matthew replied after recalling the information documents he had just read.
"Have you helped her? Tell me, what's going on?" The old man's mouth showed a cold curve, and then he asked in detail about the only thing that seemed more prominent.
"At that time, there were a few drunk guys who wanted to take advantage of no.2. No colleague who went with me went to help no.2. It was the one named Gao Jin who drank three bottles of strong wine instead of no.2." Matthew briefly said the whole thing. In fact, he did not think that no.2, who is famous for its coldness, would have any feelings for this ordinary man because of this little thing.
Looking at the distracted expression on the disciple's face, the old man smiled. The disciple's experience was still not old enough and he did not notice the details. "I remember you said that he did not have any bad habits!"
Matthew was stunned. A man who couldn't drink alcohol drank three bottles of strong wine in one breath, which was almost the same as suicide. Thinking of this, Matthew looked at the old man and became a little ashamed. As a killer, he was crucial to grasping intelligence. Otherwise, no matter how good his skills were, he would not be a first-class killer.
"It seems that our no.2 was moved by that ordinary person." The old man stood up from the sofa, shook his head, and there was a hidden sarcasm in his eyes.
"Master..." Seeing the old man get up, Matthew's eyes flashed, and he wanted to speak but stopped.
"No.2 has not left the organization, so the time has not arrived yet, don't worry." The old man said slowly to his disciple, then pointed to more than ten apples in the fruit basket on the coffee table, "Sliced them all."
"Yes, Master." Matthew nodded respectfully, then sat on the sofa, with a silver knife that was exactly the same as the old man's previous apples on his hand, and he focused on cutting the remaining dozen apples in the fruit basket.
When he walked out of the guest room, the old man who had been keeping his face calm frowned. He didn't understand what the instructions no.4 gave him to himself mean. He had been in Shanghai for more than two months, and he still just asked him to monitor no.2. Could it be that he was planning to let him accompany no.2 to retire in Shanghai? At least so far, he still couldn't see that no.2 had any possibility of leaving Shanghai.
