Ch98.2 - Escaping Danger (1/2)
Yu Hao knew that Huang Ting, as a good buddy, had always been trying to help Chen Yekai find a partner. Still, saying it straight out like that was really too awkward, and Chen Yekai probably wouldn’t be interested in dating in such a situation.

Zhou Sheng held his forehead with one hand, looking like he really didn’t want to see what was happening right now.
After Huang Ting cracked such an untimely joke, he sat at one side and took off his police cap. Zhou Sheng asked, “How is it? We should at least get an explanation ba? All of us almost lost our lives for this.”
Huang Ting said, “It’s already been transferred to the investigation team for them to deal with, and all the suspects are under control as well. The internal situation in the city bureau is a bit messy right now, so I can only get a clear understanding of the situation in a few days. The identities of the kidnappers are a little complicated. One of them is a retired Sanshou athlete from the provincial team……”
Everyone was a little surprised.
Zhou Sheng said, “The one who fought with me?”
“I think so.” Huang Ting said, “He’s a very difficult opponent. At present, I think one of them was more familiar with the county’s surroundings and roads, and they were ready to take Qihang there to find an abandoned fish pond and……un.”
“They wanted to find a place to kill me.” Ou Qihang said, “That way, there would no longer be anyone who knows their secrets.”

The ward fell silent for a moment. Yu Hao had to admit that that was the most reasonable explanation. Previously, Ou Qihang had thought of ending his life, so they wanted to fabricate a suicide scenario and let him go missing for a while before someone finds his corpse. A lot of clues would end with that then.
Perhaps, Ou Qihang could vaguely guess that he was already in danger, which was why he left the compressed files in Xiao Yujun’s laptop and hinted to Zhou Sheng about its password.
“What I can’t figure out,” Zhou Sheng was eating his rice and some rice grains had stuck onto his face. Yu Hao cleaned them off for him, and Zhou Sheng asked Ou Qihang, “was how you managed to free your hands to send us your message for help and ask us to go save you.”
Yu Hao, “……”
Ou Qihang understood within seconds. “I sent it blindly. Once I got caught, I immediately felt about for my phone in my back pocket. Right after I sent the message and deleted it, they searched it out and took my phone away.”
Zhou Sheng responded with an “un”, “Amazing, I’d rather hold onto your thigh than a wall for support.”
Yu Hao thought, the two of you are way too kickass, could you guys get any better at fabricating a story right in front of Huang Ting?! Their questions and answers even flowed together so naturally too. At that moment, Yu Hao felt like his IQ got thoroughly and completely crushed.
Fu Liqun picked up a call, and from the look on his face, it should be from Cen Shan. He quickly got up and went out to take the call. Everyone chatted idly for a while longer. Yu Hao didn’t know what Huang Ting was allowed to say, so they discussed the meals that Zhou Sheng’s father had brought over.
Huang Ting, “I haven’t eaten yet.”
Yu Hao, “Tear off the lid of a lunch box, I’ll share some with you?”

Huang Ting, “Thanks.” He actually didn’t mind it at all, and began eating right after accepting it. He was obviously really hungry by now.

So Ou Qihang got up. Yu Hao knew that the two of them had something to say to each other, so he didn’t follow and stayed in the ward to play games on his phone.
“What happened to the car?” Yu Hao said.
“Already informed someone to get it towed.” Chen Yekai said, “It’s okay, I’ve bought insurance.”
Chen Yekai looked at Ou Qihang’s receding figure, “Doesn’t seem as strong as you guys described him to be.”
“His psychological defenses finally collapsed ba.” Yu Hao smiled, “Just like that night when Gege carried me to the hospital; all of my persistence vanished without a trace within an instant.”

Chen Yekai smiled and studied Yu Hao.
Zhou Sheng went to the back door of the hospital; there was an expansive lawn there. After a bout of heavy rain, accumulated puddles could still be seen on the lawn. The temperatures dropped after every autumn rain; winter was coming soon.
A lighter was flicked on. Zhou Sheng lit a cigarette for Ou Qihang, and the two of them stayed silent.
Ou Qihang has always been a little apprehensive. He wanted to say something, but he didn’t know where to start.
“Look at that wimpy face of yours.” Zhou Sheng mocked.
Ou Qihang laughed as well. Zhou Sheng said casually, “Why are you suddenly so humble now when you were so haughty before? High caliber student, let me guess? Because I have a superpower? Or is it because we’ve already seen through your heart?”

“Yes.” Ou Qihang said, “What’s the point of putting up a pretense in front of you guys?”
Ou Qihang let out a prolonged breath and squatted down at the back door of the hospital. Zhou Sheng remained standing. Ou Qihang squatted just like a prisoner, looking up to gaze at the starry sky in the autumn night.
Zhou Sheng said, “Do you really think that all the people around you are zombies?”
Ou Qihang was stunned and cast a sidelong glance at Zhou Sheng.
“Your teachers, classmates,” Zhou Sheng didn’t look at Ou Qihang as he explained, “They are all writing pleas of leniency to the prosecutor’s office, and they all hope that you can get yourself together.”
